It turned out that one should not harbor too many expectations for the unknown.
Lin Wanwan reached out and opened the third glowing Orb.
The first two Orbs had yielded twelve bottles of Aurum Virtutes Mineral Water and a super invincible giant burger, respectively. Even if the quality degraded for the third Orb, it shouldn’t drop by too much, right?
However, God told Lin Wanwan that she was overthinking it.
When the Orb dissipated, what appeared before Lin Wanwan’s eyes was a magical wand.
A fairy magical wand.
Lin Wanwan didn’t know if this thing counted as a weapon, but looking at its appearance, she could tell it was exceedingly cheap.
The entire body of the wand was made of pearlescent plastic, giving off a pungent chemical odor. The star at the top was crooked, making a rustling friction sound with the slightest shake, and the rainbow sequins were somewhat loose as well.
On the side of the wand was a button. Lin Wanwan, unable to resist touching it, pressed it, and a familiar melody came pouring out.
Accompanying the familiar tune, a cute voice shouted simultaneously:
“In the name of the Moon, I will punish you! Sailor Moon, the Pretty Guardian of Love and Justice!”
Hearing this slogan, both Lin Wanwan and Lin Duoduo froze for a moment.
Then, the two sisters stared reverently at the magical wand, waiting for the subsequent transformation.
They waited and waited, waited and waited. A full five minutes passed, yet the magic wand showed no change whatsoever, nor did either of the sisters transform.
The two looked at each other, both realizing from the other’s eyes how idiotic their waiting just now had been.
The sisters laughed awkwardly.
“Big sister, give that magic wand to me. I don’t really have any toys here anyway.”
The sensible Lin Duoduo spoke up, breaking the awkwardness before them.
Without a second thought, Lin Wanwan tossed the magic wand directly into her sister’s hands.
After Lin Wanwan opened all three glowing Orbs, the first treasure crate slowly turned into spots of light and dissipated into thin air.
Once the crate vanished, she reached out and opened the remaining three Grade 1 crates in succession.
The items that came out next were fairly standard.
In terms of food, the three crates yielded sixteen bottles of mineral water, two one-pound bags of cookies, and a bag of toast.
In terms of supplies, they produced a 1.5×2 meter Swiss blanket, a hammock, and 20 liters of gasoline.
The moment the gasoline was opened, Lin Wanwan felt a trace of regret.
If she had used the multiplier system to get dozens of times the gasoline, she wouldn’t have to worry about gas for a long time to come, and she could even trade it with others for good items.
However, since it was already opened, it was opened; there was nothing to regret.
Although gasoline was considered somewhat rare, Lin Wanwan knew from experience that every three to five crates could usually yield at least 10 liters of gas. As long as she drove diligently in the future, she shouldn’t lack this resource.
Aside from the gasoline, what surprised Lin Wanwan even more was that a vegetable planter box had dropped.
This item was just like the planter boxes she used for growing vegetables on her balcony in her past life. The only difference was that this box was said to accelerate the growth rate of vegetables.
During her first Highway Survival, Lin Wanwan had heard about this item in the chat channel, but since feeding themselves was a struggle for the two sisters back then, she hadn’t looked into it deeply.
Who could have guessed that in this life, she would casually open a crate and get this vegetable planter box? Once she obtained some soil and seeds later on, her little sister would be able to eat fresh vegetables and fruits.
A child was right in her growing stage; she couldn’t be lacking in nutrition.
Lin Wanwan thought to herself with delight, then placed the vegetable planter box in the rearmost space of the minivan.
As good as this thing was, it couldn’t be used for the time being. She would use it as a storage bin to hold those bottles of mineral water for now.
Having done all this, Lin Wanwan looked at the final two crates—one Grade 2, and one Grade 3.
She still had one chance left today to open a crate and obtain randomly multiplied supplies. She intended to save this chance for the Grade 3 treasure crate.
With this thought, she reached out to grab the Grade 2 crate.
At the very moment she was about to open it, Lin Duoduo, who had been munching furiously on the hamburger, suddenly spoke up.
“Big sister, I feel like there’s something good inside this crate.”
“Hmm?”
Hearing Lin Duoduo’s words, Lin Wanwan stopped her hand right before opening the crate.
She knew that her sister had been a lucky star ever since she was little—a magical existence who could win a prize just by buying a random lottery ticket at a kiosk.
Now that she said there was something good in the Grade 2 treasure crate, what about the Grade 3 treasure crate?
She took a glance at Lin Duoduo.
“Little sister, which of these two crates do you think has better things inside?”
Hearing her sister’s question, Lin Duoduo pointed her finger at the Grade 3 crate without any hesitation.
“Big sister, I feel like there’s good stuff inside this crate.”
Seeing Lin Duoduo point to the Grade 3 crate, Lin Wanwan wasn’t surprised at all. After all, according to common knowledge, the items inside a Grade 3 crate were definitely superior to those in a Grade 2 crate.
Before she could ask further, Lin Duoduo spoke up again.
“Big sister, although the things in that crate are better, I feel like the things in *this* crate will be much more useful to us than that one.”
More useful?
Hearing her sister’s words, Lin Wanwan furrowed her brows. “Good stuff” and “more useful” didn’t conflict with each other.
However, since Lin Duoduo had said that the Grade 2 crate could yield something useful, she gritted her teeth and decided to trust her sister.
This time, she reached out and opened the Grade 3 treasure crate first.
Looking at the contents inside the crate, Lin Wanwan felt a bit bewildered.
There was actually only a single glowing Orb inside.
Huh?
How could this be?
Did higher-grade crates contain fewer glowing Orbs?
But now was not the time for doubts. She reached out and grasped the glowing Orb.
【Congratulations, you have obtained the Autopilot Module. Would you like to install it onto the vehicle immediately?】
Autopilot?
Hearing Its voice, Lin Wanwan froze for a moment.
“Respected It, I would like to ask, what function does this autopilot have?”
【With the Autopilot Module installed, the vehicle can operate automatically, automatically coming to a stop when encountering treasure crates or dungeons.】
【The vehicle’s Autopilot Module can also operate automatically at night. However, it is not recommended to exit the vehicle to gather treasure crates at night, as darkness is always accompanied by unknown dangers.】
Hearing Its explanation, Lin Wanwan understood. This thing was definitely a treasure—calling it a divine artifact would not be an exaggeration.
Driving for a long time on one’s own would lead to mental fatigue.
Now with this autopilot function, she wouldn’t have to drive manually anymore. The autopilot feature would bring the car to a halt in special locations, and at those times, she would only need to step out to pick up crates or participate in dungeons.
Furthermore, her sister was right. Even if she had used her multiplier system on this autopilot function and obtained dozens of the same product, she wouldn’t trade them away to others.
Highway Survival was not only about fighting Terror Beasts, but even more so about the struggle between humans.
Especially in the early stages of the game, acquiring more resources and expanding one’s advantage was the very foundation for one’s future survival.
So Duoduo’s intuition had been correct; this was indeed a great item.
In that case, what exactly was inside the Grade 2 crate that her sister had taken a fancy to?
