Chapter 46: Trade For A Huge Haul Of Supplies
Medium trucks have an advantage in size, but they’re also quite heavy.
The electric pickup truck will start to drift a bit over 130 km/h, but she has a lot of things on the vehicle, which can weigh it down.
Trucks drift even more at high speeds.
Yu Jiang glanced at the rearview mirror, confirming no other vehicles behind.
From the medium truck’s perspective, the pickup truck timidly moved to the farthest side, clearly intimidated by its own presence and not daring to get close.
Understandable, others are just driving tricycles, delivery trucks, agricultural tractors, small cars, at most small trucks. A medium truck over 6 meters is a big shot; who dares to cut in!
This is the treatment of starting high, the chosen one!
In a bit, crash the pickup truck to a stop and snatch another wave. Looks like a fat sheep.
With this driving skill, still thinking of running?
The truck driver started humming a tune, switching to one hand on the steering wheel.
The truck gradually closed in on the pickup truck, squeezing its driving space. Just as it was about to ram, a curve appeared ahead. Suddenly, the pickup truck accelerated sharply and smoothly turned the steering wheel.
The truck driver’s face changed drastically, hurriedly gripping the steering wheel with both hands and stepping on the brake.
This speed is like playing with death. If either the brain or the body can’t keep up, it’ll get you killed.
Yu Jiang focused all her attention on the front and the truck on the left, hands gripping the steering wheel, heart pounding from nervousness.
She didn’t dare slack off, trying to slow her breathing and stay alert and calm.
As the medium truck struggled to control the brakes and steering at high speed on the slippery rainy road, its rear swung over, Yu Jiang had already changed lanes and driven away.
Clang clang,
Bang—
Amid a series of crashes, the medium truck’s front wheels drove into the drainage ditch off the roadside, the car front deformed from hitting a stone, and the fuel tank leaked.
This is minor. With the medium truck’s size, unless it finds a sweeper truck with lifting capability, it won’t get out.
Dismantling the vehicle on the spot would lose the medium truck, yielding a pile of scrapped parts and the most basic vehicle form.
The kind from the late 19th century, as rudimentary as it gets,
Yu Jiang had seen a picture others posted on the public screen; it was from an unlucky player.
She didn’t really want to go out in the rain to grab more supplies, mainly because there was truly no space left, not even a surplus bit.
Going down would also consume her own strength, so Yu Jiang just drove away.
Today’s 50 kilometers completed, leaving the parallel road.
Yu Jiang could finally properly handle the supplies on the vehicle.
Outside, the rain poured heavily with occasional thunderbolts, while she sat inside the vehicle, opened the trading platform, and unhurriedly listed the things.
[Fresh pig, lamb, beef each 1 box, fresh eggs 2, frozen chicken wings*1 box, frozen dumplings*1 bag
Freshly baked biscuits, cakes each 2 bags, sports beverages*2 bottles, durian flesh 1 piece, apples 2, brand new thermos cup*1, electric blanket*1]
Adding: Highest price, take note.
At the same time, she posted in the friend group, “Besides these, there’s also one more memory foam pillow, one blanket.”
Han Jiang Gu Ying: “What?! If I knew we could enter the supermarket for free stuff, I wouldn’t have buried myself in running the map and mission progress. I would’ve chopped enough poisonous spiders no matter what.”
Being able to offer this much for trade clearly means she has even more on hand.
Sad Pig Intestine: “Big shot, can you sell me some ingredients? I’ll make cooked food for you, absolutely won’t waste your things!”
“No problem.” Yu Jiang was thinking exactly that.
To make food tasty, just prepping ingredients and cleaning cookware takes a lot of kung fu.
Her vehicle’s setup wasn’t convenient for cooking, at most boiling a pot on the portable stove.
Sad Pig Intestine had already modified the vehicle into a stall cart, with full cookware and skills.
X: “I can give you some ingredients too; just share some of the finished product with me.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: “+1, but I still want to ask, how did you get so many types of supplies?”
Fresh ingredients, beverages, and even time to grab slippers and cups?
Everyone has 60 seconds; why are they so excellent?
As for himself, giving it his all, he only got one shopping cart plus one down quilt, no time for more food.
His hand was just about to touch that large, fresh prawn when time ran out.
He even tried negotiating to grab a bit more with crystal coins, but the shop owner mercilessly refused.
“Without reward missions, our raccoon supermarket randomly appears on the road. Accounts below 500 balance can’t enter, and same site only once. Can’t enter just because you want to, crystal coins won’t work.”
That’s what the shop owner said; he could only leave regretfully with the things in the cart.
If not for his good stamina and speed, he wouldn’t have gotten even these.
X: “Used skills to get them; the supermarket doesn’t restrict skill use.”
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire: ??? His skill is shield; first time feeling his skill is impractical.
The skills Shi Xu mentioned, Yu Jiang had seen: shadow, teleportation.
One second in the supermarket daily necessities area, next second in the fresh food section. Usage has a limit, also 24-hour cooldown.
“Everyone wait a bit, I’ll handle the trading platform messages first. Good prices among our own.”
In less than five minutes, over a dozen messages popped up on the trading platform.
“Are you all in the same survival game? Big shot even got durian? And these fresh meats and vegetables. I’ll take the beef, 20 steel blocks, 5 aluminum alloys!”
Yu Jiang clicked deal directly; level four vehicle upgrade needs aluminum alloy.
She had nearly enough steel blocks, mainly short on rarer materials.
Amid the trade request messages, a few dissenting voices mixed in,
“These things, bluntly, not having them doesn’t affect survival, just for a mouth craving. Prices too exaggerated? You trading so many supplies for this bit of food, really worth it?”
Yu Jiang didn’t speak, but someone refuted the person,
“If you’re not buying, don’t crowd in. Don’t delay me buying! I buy what I feel is worth; mind your own business!”
“2 titanium alloys, big shot should know their value. How about for frozen chicken wings*1 box, frozen dumplings*1 bag?”
Yu Jiang replied: “Not good, I want aluminum alloy, level four component cards, mechanical expansion cards.”
Level four vehicles need 20 component cards and expansion cards each; she was still short half.
Han Jiang Gu Ying had some; collecting six or seven more here would suffice.
The player 857 trying to trade titanium alloys, after rejection, didn’t give up and kept trying to persuade Yu Jiang,
“Please, titanium alloy! Top-tier car material, for your few chicken wings and frozen dumplings. Check the public screen; in the whole game area, is there a second person with titanium alloy?”
“Thought big shot would have vision, turns out just so-so. Missed this, later collecting titanium alloy won’t be this easy.”
This person had a preachy tone; Yu Jiang just replied, “Keep your titanium alloy for yourself.”
No matter how rare or good, 2 aren’t usable.
Later when instance difficulty ramps up, there might be other ways to get it.
Of course, most people were sincerely trading.
In under ten minutes, everything Yu Jiang listed sold out. Sicily was fast and had plenty of supplies; electric blanket, thermos cup, frozen dumplings, lamb all from him. Those who came late and missed out were wailing on the public screen.
Next chapter, upgrading to level four vehicle! Worked on pictures for ages, finally got a satisfactory one~
