Chapter 24: Brand New Interior Space
Seeing Yu Jiang flooring the accelerator and still about to crash into it, not only did she not feel sorry for the Vehicle, but she also had the vibe of ‘Come on, let’s hurt each other!’
The woman truly hadn’t expected her to be this tough.
This Protective Shield on the Vehicle is a Shield, not absolute invincibility; it can be shattered by collision.
“Madman!”
The woman cursed, endured the pain to take out an Acceleration Card, and decisively ran away.
No matter how high the Shield and Defense were boosted, it was impossible to go head-to-head against such a large Pickup Truck.
She only had one Healing Potion, which she had bought at a great price, and today’s losses were already huge enough.
She couldn’t afford to lose all her assets without any certainty.
The woman angrily looked toward Yu Jiang’s Vehicle; today she capsized in the gutter, next time it would be best not to let her run into her again!
That was the bayonet she had spent a full 500 Crystal Coins on at the Service Station, giving +10 Attack when used, with a chance to deal Critical Hit damage.
The remaining Crystal Coins were used to buy the Protective Shield and Acceleration Card, and now, just 24 hours after getting them, they were all gone!
Thinking of that knife, even her breathing hurt.
A robber getting robbed by someone else instead! Who knows if it was someone from the same line of work.
——
Yu Jiang looked at the newly acquired Weapon and satisfactorily curved up her lips.
She had taken a liking to this knife at first glance; it was small and sharp, and the Critical Hit effect was simply an unexpected delight.
The only regret was not finishing off the opponent, but Yu Jiang never engaged in self-torment; things couldn’t always go as planned, there were always accidents.
Anyway, she didn’t lose out in this Black Eat Black wave.
Regular Players couldn’t produce such a good Weapon, along with Items.
That Tricycle’s speed even left afterimages; it couldn’t be caught up to.
Luckily she didn’t use a Skill, or it would have wasted a Cooldown Time, and her identity info would have been leaked.
Yu Jiang had driven on the Parallel Road, and the sky was almost dark.
Today, for gathering the Illustrated Guide, she had delayed quite a bit on the road and only advanced 150 kilometers.
Just then, she received a message from Purple Butt Can Do It,
“Big Shot, the things you wanted are done. If you have time, check first if they’re okay.”
Yu Jiang found a spot to park, checked the things sent via the Trade window and confirmed no issues, then put up her final payment and completed the Trade.
Getting the long-awaited things, she immediately excitedly started setting them up.
The rear seats needed to be removed, the Front Passenger Seat also needed modification by cutting off the limiter, then the backrest could be laid flat forward.
This was a plan confirmed after consulting two Friends.
With Vehicle acceleration and braking, if the things inside weren’t secured, it would be a disaster; reasonably designed custom Supplies were very necessary.
Behind the Front Passenger Seat, a Storage Cabinet could be placed, connected to the second row seats; with suitable Soft Cushion laid on, it could become a Sofa.
The rear similarly used a Storage Cabinet as the bed, plus Mattress and Four-piece Bedding Set, some small Items scavenged that could add atmosphere, and the prototype of the Camping Bed Vehicle was there.
Behind the Driver’s Seat, hang a curtain; when pulled, even if outsiders stood in Front of the Vehicle, they couldn’t see the rear.
After busying for a few hours, looking at the renewed, comfortable, and cozy Interior Space with comfort and warmth levels soaring, Yu Jiang’s heart was full of Achievement sense.
Beautiful rattan-woven Storage Boxes, wooden Furniture cabinets with great touch, lace Tablecloth—useless for Survival, but they could improve her mood.
A comfortable living Space made doing Missions for Survival every day more motivating.
If it was just struggling between the two words ‘alive,’ it would be too hard to hold on.
Changing out of clothes wet from Rainwater, luxuriously taking a Hot Bath, boiling half a bowl of plain Noodles.
The Condiment Small Gift Pack had salt, white pepper, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil.
Add a bit of everything to the Instant Noodles bowl, plus clear broth, then fish out the Noodles.
While boiling the Noodles, she also took a Shredded Potato Rolled Pancake and placed it nearby to absorb some steam.
The rain outside was too heavy, so Yu Jiang directly used the Health Pot Inside the Vehicle to boil it.
Next to the bed was a Cabinet at a height below the car window, which could be used as a Table.
Outside, torrential rain poured; Inside the Vehicle, warm-toned Camping Lamp lit up, and Dinner was solved in this setting.
Yu Jiang browsed the Public Screen for a bit and saw that not long ago, ‘Yuan’ was begging everyone worldwide like grandparents to help him.
He still had a Level 1 Vehicle, hadn’t gotten Supplies for two days, was at his limit, short on Materials and medicine, with Health Points and Health Value both at 10.
Only a few Players specializing in reselling replied to him; Sicily had made Primary Healing Potion, but at a high Quoted Price; Players with ‘Nothing Gained’ BUFF who bought it ended up even worse.
Not long after, Yuan started cursing on the Public Screen, and then his Nickname went black, and the person was gone.
Player 7693: 【You’re all so cold-blooded. There’s only so many Resources in the Instance total; you took the Wishing Star, that’s why we can’t complete the Mission. The Top Ten Players took so many Rewards; please, help everyone out at this critical moment.】
Trash Game: 【Such a terrifying storm, alone On the Road, cold and hungry, I want to go home『crying』】
Aspiring to Become European Emperor: 【Yesterday, out of momentary compassion, I gave a Help Request a Compressed Biscuit and two Iron Blocks. I wasn’t well-off myself, just thought to help a little if I could. Result? Today they asked me again, I said I had none left, and got Taunted as a hypocrite. Still angry thinking about it!】
Lone Wolf 2009: 【You not taking the Wishing Star because you don’t like it? Each by their own ability; if you can’t complete the Mission, whose fault is it? I didn’t find a single Wishing Star, and I still completed the Mission.】
Player 1045: 【It’s already hard not getting Supplies, can you Players who completed the Mission stop with the cool words!】
Seeing they were all arguing, nothing interesting, Yu Jiang focused on Manufacturing.
Intermediate Healing Potion Materials: 5 portions, 1 portion yields 2 potions, but Success rate only 40%
Wind-Cold Powder Materials: 6 portions, Success rate 60%
Detox Pill Materials: 5 portions, Success rate 60%
As Alchemist Level rises, Success rate for crafting Primary Healing Potion and Hallucinogenic Medicine has reached 80%
Similarly, other Players are progressing; as stats improve, the effect of primary Control-type drugs like Hallucinogenic Medicine will weaken.
Finally, Yu Jiang crafted a total of Intermediate Healing Potion *5, Wind-Cold Powder *5, Detox Pill *4, Primary Healing Potion *20, Hallucinogenic Medicine *8
Yu Jiang took out four Intermediate Healing Potions and gave one each to Purple Butt Can Do It, Han Jiang Gu Ying, X, and Lightning Mage King.
The remaining Friends would have to wait for the next batch; she would try to make them before the next Instance.
Purple Butt Can Do It was agreed to get two, but she really didn’t have many on hand now.
“Check it out: choose 3 Primary Healing Potions, or 2 Hallucinogenic Medicines, or 1 Wind-Cold Powder; or wait for me to make Intermediate Healing Potion and Detox Pill next time and choose then.” Yu Jiang gave options.
“Big Shot! You’re my one and only Big Shot!!! Can you give me 1 Wind-Cold Powder and 2 Hallucinogenic Medicines first? I’ll make you a Sink Cabinet, and gift you 5 pairs of Cotton Socks. Next time Intermediate meds come out, we swap.”
He then sent another message, “Want custom-sized Vehicle mats? I can make them! Also Short Boots with +5 Defense. This Material is harder to find, needs a day or two wait.”
As a Player specializing in life Manufacturing, of course the more medicine the better, or all his family assets would be gone if wiped out.
