“Yes.”
Five seconds later, a brand-new oversized three-wheeled electric motorcycle appeared before Jiang Li.
『Enhanced three-wheeled electric motorcycle:』Besides the increased size, the cargo bed has become an enclosed compartment about 2.5 meters long and 2 meters wide, reminding Jiang Li of the three-wheeled motorcycles used by some Shunfeng delivery couriers.
『Congratulations, player Jiang Li, on becoming the first in this zone to upgrade your vehicle. Would you like to make a zone-wide announcement? After the announcement, generous rewards await.』
Jiang Li recalled her past self, always lying low and keeping a low profile, and her cool voice rang out. “Make the announcement.”
『Regional channel.』
A thick, oversized red banner suddenly appeared, and as fireworks bloomed, a line of text flashed into view.
『Congratulations to Li Taibai of Sector 222 for becoming the first in Zone 666 to upgrade a vehicle. My goodness, how can you all be this bad? It has taken this long for someone to upgrade a vehicle. Reflect on yourselves quickly.』
Jiang Li looked at the diamond crate that dropped before her eyes. In her previous life, when she had nothing to do while lying low, she liked to watch chat groups, and she knew the first person to upgrade a vehicle would get something good. This time, it had finally been her turn.
“Congratulations! You have obtained Gold Coin ×20, Backpack Slots ×20, Luck Fragment ×5, Special Station Direct Pass Card ×2, Traffic Ticket Void Card ×2, Battery ×2, Rice 50 jin ×6, Mineral Water 24 bottles/case ×6, Soap ×6, and Dishwashing Liquid ×2.”
Luck Fragment? Jiang Li was puzzled.
『Luck Fragment: What a lucky little one you are. Use ten Luck Fragments, and Luck increases by 1.』
『Backpack Slot: A beginner-level space produced by the game. Identical items stack up to 99,999. Note that each slot can only hold one type of item!』
『Special Station Direct Pass Card: Players can use one direct pass card each day to enter a special station for free. Time limit: 12 hours.』
『Traffic Ticket Void Card: Still upset about violating traffic rules? With it, this record is erased immediately.』
『Soap: A game-produced premium item, absolutely top quality. Use it to remove the tracking mark on your body, and no one will be able to find you. A little treasure for being hunted down by others.』
『Dishwashing Liquid: Hurry up and wash those dirty dishes. This game really cannot stand it anymore. How can you be so messy?!』
Jiang Li stared at the dishwashing liquid description, speechless. It is not like it affects you anyway.
Looking at the supplies all over the ground, Jiang Li immediately used the Backpack Slots, and a backpack icon appeared in the lower right corner of the panel.
Heaven never mistreats those who work hard and keep striving.
In addition, Jiang Li also swallowed the Strength Pill.
『Strength Pill: After use, Strength increases by 20.』
『Player: Jiang Li (Title 666), 26 years old
ID: 4443246444
Nickname: Li Taibai
Vehicle: Enhanced three-wheeled electric motorcycle (Upgrade materials: Level 3 vehicle upgrade card ×1, Glass ×200, Iron ×100, Plastic ×200, Rubber ×100, Battery ×10, Engine ×1.)
Constitution: 40 (Weakened for unknown reasons)
Intelligence: 50 (Barely passable; not too stupid)
Strength: 33 (Even after going up, your shoulders still cannot carry anything and your hands still cannot lift anything. What exactly can you do?)
Agility: 16 (Extremely slow reactions, the kind that gets you killed in one second)
Luck: 6 (What on earth happened? Luck should not be this high!)』
The Backpack Slots were not enough, so Jiang Li placed the silver crate and diamond crate in the upper left corner of the compartment.
One was for food, and the other was for miscellaneous items.
The remaining 2 wooden crates and 1 iron crate were stacked on the driver’s seat.
The vehicle was already Level 2; she only lacked a crafting table blueprint.
After finishing the tidying, Jiang Li relaxed. Her stomach had long been growling with hunger.
This time, she did not want to wrong herself. She went straight to the trading channel and exchanged 1 bottle of water for 5 wooden planks and 1 lighter.
She lit a fire and cooked instant noodles.
She picked up a few big stones by the roadside and arranged them in a circle, simple and practical.
Even the most ordinary food for satisfying hunger was incredibly precious at this moment.
Under the night sky, the faint glow of the screen fell on the small cooking pot, and waves of hot steam with a rich fragrance drifted up from the pot.
Jiang Li took a huge slurp and squinted contentedly. In the end, she even licked the instant noodle broth clean.
Strange and eerie sounds came from both sides of the road. In her previous life, Jiang Li would have trembled in fear, but this time she was not afraid anymore.
No matter how strong they were, it was useless. Right now, this was the Novice Protection Period.
This was the superiority that came from being an “old” player. Jiang Li covered her face, feeling her skin getting thicker and thicker.
Horse stance for 1 hour, lunge stance for 1 hour, 200 front kicks, 200 side kicks, plank for 1 minute.
Before long, Jiang Li was drenched in sweat.
Drenched in sweat, Jiang Li collapsed on the ground from exhaustion before long.
The girl got up again and continued gritting her teeth to endure it. Her body was truly too weak.
Compared with staying alive, what were this little bit of suffering and this little bit of exhaustion worth!
『Detected that player Jiang Li is charging forward with a proactive attitude, giving her all for survival, fearless in the face of hardship and fatigue. Her resilience is worthy of praise. The Potential System is activated. We hope the player continues to strive and break new ground!』
“Ding, the Potential System has successfully bound! I am your system, Xiao Bei, and I will continue to serve you!”
“Your task list refreshes at midnight. Completing the day’s effort tasks can earn various supplies. Please, host, work hard, work harder, and keep working harder. Xiao Bei will accompany you to the peak of life!”
Jiang Li opened the system interface. The task bar had two sections: completed and pending.
Completed tasks:
1. Travel 20 kilometers. Exceeded! Reward available.
2. Vehicle upgrade. Completed! Reward available.
3. Exercise for 3 hours. Completed! Reward available.
Pending task:
1. Wash the dirty bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Li tapped to claim the rewards directly, and in an instant three packages shining with silver light appeared on the ground.
“Congratulations, host, on obtaining a hotpot set meal, a KFC family bucket, 2 steaming hot pork buns, and cola.”
Jiang Li could not resist and immediately grabbed a burger and wolfed it down. It was fragrant and crispy.
She had never eaten these things like this before. It was really great to come here!
She also took out another serving of fries. They were really delicious.
After Jiang Li finished eating and took care of personal business, she crawled into the small compartment from behind the driver’s seat.
The compartment was pitch-black. Jiang Li spread the thick padded coat over the cold floor, rolled the sweater into a pillow, and then pulled the sweater over herself.
Not bad at all. Lying down felt pretty comfortable.
Jiang Li curled up inside the compartment, remembering how in her previous life she had always fallen asleep curled up beside her broken bicycle.
When it rained, she could only get soaked all over. There had been no other choice.
Now she had a compartment, food, and water, and that gave her a full sense of security.
Forcing her eyelids open, Jiang Li tapped into the regional channel. On the first day, everyone was short of water and food, but some people must have gotten good items too.
That information gap was exactly what she wanted.
Inside the trading channel, message after message kept updating. Because driving was not allowed at night, the chat group was bustling.
Traded a black card for any food, deal completed with a baguette.
A half-meter baguette could last a long time. The other side was very satisfied… the black card was an ultra-dangerous dungeon card. Who would want to go there? Anyway, he was not willing.
Three pieces of glass were traded for any food, and 1 burger was traded back.
She also traded 4 fried chicken nuggets for 3 rubber.
