Prevent skidding: When skidding occurs, slowly ease off the accelerator, gently turn the steering wheel in the direction of the sideways skid, and straighten the wheel after traction is restored.
Watch out for pedestrians: When driving in rainy weather, please take care of roadside pedestrians. Pedestrians carrying umbrellas or wearing raincoats have limited visibility, so slow down and yield in advance, and wait patiently.
3. Parking and Aftercare, Details Keep You Safe
Safe parking area: Avoid parking under trees or in low-lying areas to prevent falling objects or standing water from soaking the vehicle. Friendly reminder: if you encounter a hotel, you can go inside to shelter from the disaster.
Clean the vehicle: Wash the car promptly after the rain to remove the corrosive effect of acidic rainwater on the paint.
Rainy weather makes the roads slippery, so drive cautiously and slowly! May you safely arrive at every destination.
Jiang Li read the email carefully. These were all possible accidents that might happen next.
Visibility was low in rainy weather, and crates were not easy to spot.
Suddenly, a figure appeared ahead, and Jiang Li felt a chill of dread. Was it a passerby?
She carefully drove past.
It turned out to be four crates stacked vertically on top of one another.
Jiang Li got out and put the crates into her backpack. They were four iron crates.
Just as she turned around, she saw a rain monster trying to climb into the driver’s seat. Half of its body was already inside. This was too much.
Jiang Li drew her long saber and hacked fiercely at the rain monster. The rain monster instantly shattered into pieces.
But the fragments were still moving, still fusing together.
Jiang Li kept slashing.
After chopping it to pieces, she took out a plastic bag, swept the fragments into the bag, and set it on fire with her lighter.
The writhing fragments kept letting out shrill screams.
When the rain monster disappeared, a transparent bead appeared before her eyes.
“Condensed rain beads: after use, they can endlessly generate water resources, producing 2 ml of water per day. After filtration, it can be used for drinking.”
Damn, Jiang Li’s eyes lit up.
Didn’t this perfectly solve the water-drinking problem from now on? How was this a monster? This was a precious little treasure!
Jiang Li kept driving, looking for crates and farming monsters.
Before long, she found six silver crates, also stacked high.
This time, the rain monster was stronger than the previous one.
Jiang Li spent 20 minutes taking it down.
“Condensed rain beads: after use, they can endlessly generate water resources, producing 10 ml of water per day. After filtration, it can be used for drinking.”
It seemed that the stronger the rain monster, the more abundant the water resources produced by the condensed rain beads.
Regional chat:
Li Taibai: “Friendly reminder: killing rain monsters can yield condensed rain beads!”
After posting that, Jiang Li left. She had reminded them this far; smart people would know what to do.
Next, Jiang Li repeated the same process.
Slash, slash, slash. Burn, burn, burn. She successfully obtained 60 condensed rain beads, which could produce a total of 550 ml of water per day, roughly one cup.
That was more than enough for daily drinking.
Rain monster circle:
Rain monster No. 9: “Brothers, a monster-killing maniac has appeared on Road No. 769. Nobody go to that road.”
Rain monster No. 65: “Yeah, yeah, my friends No. 546, No. 53, No. 787, and No. 3332 all died there.”
Rain monster No. 855: “Please have the game punish this ignorant human.”
Rain monster No. 669: “Seconded. That’s too much.”
Rain monster No. 444: “Seconded. That’s too much.”
Rain monster No. 365: “Seconded. That’s too much.”
…
Jiang Li stood in the rain with an umbrella, waiting for the rain monsters to appear.
She waited one minute, five minutes, fifteen minutes…
Where were the monsters?
『Received complaints from 100 rain monsters, including rain monster No. 855, No. 669, No. 368, No. 756, and others. After verification, the player indeed exhibits excessively brutal behavior. Punishment: the player must mine until the rain monsters get out of class.』
Hearing the sound from the speakers, Jiang Li subconsciously glanced at the time.
1:00 PM.
They normally got out of class at 6:00 PM, so did that mean she still had to mine for five more hours?
In the next second, Jiang Li appeared in a dark mine shaft.
Just as Jiang Li turned on her flashlight, she jumped in fright.
A huge rat was less than 3 cm from her face, staring at her seriously, as if thinking about how to deal with this heinous human.
Then the lights around them came on.
It turned out to be a large mine hall. The rat monster was sitting in the center, with one mine shaft entrance behind it.
“So you’re the human that the monsters complained about?” the rat monster looked at Jiang Li contemptuously.
It was indeed thinking about how to deal with this bad person. Although the ones killed were not its own kind, they were all one body. One thrives, all thrive; one suffers, all suffer.
The other monsters were its good brothers too.
It would definitely make this human suffer for them.
The rat monster was just about to make a big move and teach this ignorant human a lesson when something was suddenly stuffed into its claws.
It felt it.
The rat monster’s eyes immediately lit up.
This thickness, this shape, this size… these were gold coins.
And there were quite a few, ten in total.
“Uh, Mr. Rat, I’ll be troubling you from here on out.” Jiang Li looked sincerely at the gray rat before her, a little uneasy, not knowing whether the rat monster would accept the gold coins.
『Mine shaft employee rat monster favorability +5.』
Jiang Li let out a long sigh of relief. As long as it accepted gold coins, that was fine.
“Beautiful guest, I am the mine shaft’s employee, Little Mouse Mouse. The rain monsters couldn’t beat you, so they went behind your back and filed complaints. That behavior is truly a disgrace to our monster circle.”
Jiang Li sighed and said aggrievedly, “Actually, I just saw that they wanted to ambush me. I had just entered this game and was very scared. I didn’t notice the severity for a moment, and then they… If it happened again, I really would rather be the one who got hurt.”
Little Mouse Mouse looked at Jiang Li, who choked up several times, and once again felt that the rain monsters had gone too far. She had no experience on her first time either.
“Don’t worry, the rain monsters get out of class at 8:00 PM. You need to work hard for these seven hours.”
Just after Little Mouse Mouse finished speaking, it felt movement on the ground. Looking down, it saw five more gold coins lying at its feet.
It deliberately lifted its foot and stepped forward, planting it right on top of the gold coins, then patted Jiang Li with its claws.
“Don’t worry! There won’t be any problems.”
Jiang Li nodded. They didn’t get out of class until 8:00 PM. It seemed that even in the game, she couldn’t escape being a beast of burden.
“These are your safety helmet, goggles, dust mask, iron shovel, and pickaxe. Put the ore you dig up into this space stone.”
“How much do I need to mine?”
“Just do what you can. Mine as much as you can. There’s a camera on the helmet. As long as you mine properly, you can leave by then.”
Little Mouse Mouse waved its paw. You have to know, this mixed ore not only had low output but was also extremely hard to mine. A newcomer with no experience like her probably wouldn’t amount to much.
For the sake of the gold coins, it would just let her go through the motions. It was only a gatekeeper, after all.
Jiang Li heard there was surveillance and silently sighed.
She stuffed another 20 gold coins to the rat monster.
“Little Mouse Mouse, uh, this camera… when I go to the bathroom…” Jiang Li looked at the rat monster with an embarrassed expression.
『Mine shaft employee rat monster favorability +15, current favorability value 20.』
The rat monster pinched the gold coins in its palm, making a troubled face.
“Why are you humans so troublesome? Fortunately, our game Lord is very reasonable. So, every half hour you can go to the bathroom once. During that time, the camera will be in a closed status for 12 minutes. Not a minute more.”
“No problem, no problem. Thank you, the most adorable Little Mouse Mouse Lord.”
“Go ahead!” Little Mouse Mouse pretended to be cold and aloof. This human really had good taste.
『Mine shaft employee rat monster favorability +5, current favorability value 25.』
Jiang Li picked up her tools and walked toward the mine shaft entrance.
