Chapter 248: Pressing On, Clear Weather
Time reached 10 PM at night.
Yu Jiang took out some french fries and fried chicken from the time stasis grid, eating late-night snack while handling trades.
She was also boiling water. The RV had a filtration device, and the stainless steel barrel capacity was about 12L. She needed to boil four or five barrels to process all the river water.
It would probably take until 12 o’clock.
Troublesome once, but convenient to use afterward.
Yu Jiang also tasted a sip of the boiled river water. The taste was not quite the same as mineral water, but it was okay, no strange smell.
It could also be used to wet a towel when short on water, to wipe the body.
Yu Jiang had quite a lot of water stockpiled. The RV had an independent 100L drinking water tank and a 700L clear water tank for domestic water.
The water collector produced drinking water and domestic water every day, which would fill up the water tank until full.
The air humidity during this time was sufficient, so the water tank storage was very ample. Even after washing hair and bathing, it could be replenished quickly.
As for the biggest problem of real RVs, the gray water tank and black water tank, they didn’t exist here. The vehicle system would handle it directly.
Including the water card, these few barrels of river water, and the mineral water Yu Jiang got from opening boxes, she had over 200 liters of drinking water on hand.
Drinking 1.5L a day could last a long time.
Yu Jiang was calculating in her mind, gnawing on a fried chicken leg, when she saw a message from Wholesale Wang Defa.
“Captain Jiang, congrats on getting another first kill. Do you have anything you need to sell? 『Hehe』”
Wholesale Wang Defa saw Yu Jiang’s trading platform homepage and knew she had just been selling things, so she definitely wasn’t asleep yet, and that’s why she sent the message.
“Yes! Sister Fugui, your message comes at the perfect time!” Yu Jiang sent over the wood, nightgown, wool, cotton linen fabric, and other supplies she had collected.
“Can take it all, at a discount.” Wholesale Wang Defa knew at a glance they were good stuff.
Wood could be used to craft vehicle interiors, especially RVs, which all needed decoration.
Real silk nightgown, looked very comfortable. She was the caravan leader, second on the wealth ranking, of course she wanted to live a good life.
“I need to keep some wood myself. What if my RV interior needs repair and I have no materials? That would be tough. The two nightgowns can all go to you.
We’ve cooperated so many times, when have I ever raised your price? 2500 crystal coins, and process the cotton linen and wool materials into two sets of clothing for me.” Yu Jiang smiled and sent a voice message.
“Okay!” Wholesale Wang Defa agreed immediately. She paused, then continued asking,
“I know you definitely won’t sell the first kill reward. Can you say what it is? If not convenient, forget it.”
“Nothing inconvenient. Free stat point, water card, perfume.” Yu Jiang sent over the effects of the water card and perfume.
She messaged Wholesale Wang Defa, and Wholesale Wang Defa would give her needed info in return. It was mutual.
“Wow! There’s actually a water card like this! And perfume that can hide identity.” Wholesale Wang Defa sighed enviously.
Saying she didn’t want it would be fake. People who could get this stuff now wouldn’t lack crystal coins and supplies, so they wouldn’t sell. People short on supplies couldn’t get it.
“I’ll have caravan members keep an eye out. If we encounter any later, I’ll collect them.”
Yu Jiang’s eyes lit up. “If there are extras, help me collect some too. I can use high-level medicine as reward.”
Besides resources for weapons and skill upgrades, other rare items could also drop from high-level supply boxes.
“Putting down such capital.” Wholesale Wang Defa laughed and agreed,
“Okay, by the way, I heard there’s a system that doesn’t assign solo players to instances. I’ll try my best to boost my stats. Next time if short on people, can you add me if possible? I won’t take supplies, I’ll give reward, and bet on first kill reward.”
Yu Jiang thought for a moment. “Sure, if the instance is suitable.”
They could get first kill with four people, so as long as the difficulty jump wasn’t too big, they could bring along one more player with self-preservation ability.
Still, 5-person or larger team instances were better, higher fault tolerance. If something went wrong, support could be mobilized.
4 people was still too extreme.
“I have some red wine here, do you want it?” Yu Jiang suddenly remembered this.
She didn’t like alcohol much, preferred juice, cola, lemon tea. She traded away the white ones for beverages, kept a few cans of beer, and gave some pig intestine to cook with.
Occasionally drink a glass at night as beverage. Over a dozen bottles of wine, needed extra care to preserve. Keeping too many wasted her time stasis grids.
“Want want want! Can do 5 bottles?”
Yu Jiang sent an OK sticker pack, the Q-version farmer from Fight the Landlord. She didn’t know why the system had so many abstract sticker packs, but if there, use them!
After handling the trade with Wholesale Wang Defa, Yu Jiang lounged obliquely on the sofa, holding a bamboo plate of fried chicken, alternating sips of ice cola and bites of fried chicken.
This stuff was also magical. Felt especially delicious after not eating for a long time, but after finishing, it was just so-so.
The last barrel of water finally boiled. After cooling for dozens of minutes, Yu Jiang put all the processed river water into the picked-up purified water buckets, numbered them with a black marker and labeled properly.
When supplies pile up, it’s easy to get chaos. Marking them like this made inventory clear at a glance later.
The RV was great in everything, had a cyber operation panel, but no one-click organize or inventory supplies function.
Busy until midnight, Yu Jiang sent the cleaned stainless steel barrels to Pig Intestine, turned off the lights, went upstairs to sleep.
Two days in the instance, but too tiring. The next day past 7 AM Yu Jiang woke up. Eyes not yet open, still dazed, she heard banging sounds.
Nighttime safe period had ended. It was a monster hitting her vehicle!
Shield was knocked down by 2 points.
By the balcony fence, the Furious Blueberry on the metal mesh flower stand: 【Still sleeping! It came to eat you!】
Yu Jiang did a carp flip to sit up, put on slippers, ran to the balcony and looked down.
Shoulders only reaching tire height, face with a patch of mushroom grown out, the zombie was howling there, constantly swinging hands to attack the nearby room door.
RV height was there, it could only hit below the room door, couldn’t reach the door handle at all.
Wait, its movements were reaching for the door handle!
This was a monster with a bit of brain, but not much.
It also saw Yu Jiang. When that face lifted up, the mushroom grown from the flesh was especially conspicuous, with small pits hit by the Furious Blueberry.
Yu Jiang thought of the mushroom soup she ate a while ago. No, can’t think about it, she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.
Yu Jiang went downstairs in nightgown and slippers, to the driver’s compartment, started the vehicle, floored the accelerator, and directly crushed it to death.
【Player used vehicle to kill ‘Plant Zombie’, Crystal Coins +10】
Just this much?
Yu Jiang checked the rearview mirror, no other monsters found, still drove another kilometer before stopping to wash up.
Outside the window, sunlight passed through the swamp and fell on the road, felt a bit hot.
Sunny was good. As long as solar panel power generation efficiency was up, running air conditioning for a few hours a day was enough.
8 AM, mileage task released, still 100km daily, 1000km weekly.
For people short on supplies and struggling to kill monsters, this task volume was very heavy.
