Meng Qingyin didn't dwell on the backpack issue; there were still five supply crates on the ground waiting to be opened.
Meng Qingyin followed suit, opening the second supply crate. It was still safe inside, and besides gaining two tin sheets, she also received one bottle of mineral water.
Next were the third, fourth, and fifth crates. They were also safe, yielding six tin sheets, six plastic, two tires, two milky steamed buns, one Wahaha milk, and one roll of toilet paper.
Her backpack grid was already full, so the toilet paper remained in the supply crate.
Meng Qingyin didn't rush to grab the toilet paper but instead opened the last supply crate.
As soon as she pried open a crack in the crate, a snake suddenly shot out, lunging towards Meng Qingyin's face.
Even though Meng Qingyin had remained vigilant, when a snake suddenly lunged out, her heart immediately quickened. She slammed her stun baton hard onto the snake's body, pressing the button simultaneously.
Just as the 'sizzle sizzle' of electricity sounded once, the snake was electrocuted, falling to the ground, unconscious.
Meng Qingyin pulled out her entrenching tool and slammed it repeatedly onto the snake's body until she was sure it was dead beyond dead. Only then did she slowly stop her actions.
The snake on the ground was almost a puddle of mush, bloody and mangled; its meat was no longer edible.
Fortunately, she hadn't planned to eat it anyway.
This snake looked very much like a many-banded krait in her understanding—highly venomous. She didn't want to risk her life trying its meat.
After dealing with the venomous snake, Meng Qingyin finally walked to the supply crate and fully opened it.
When she saw the crate full of supplies, Meng Qingyin couldn't hide her surprise.
It didn't say that dangerous crates would yield so many supplies!
Four plastic, three tin sheets, two tires, one mineral water, two flower rolls, two garlic ham, one sun hat, two pedals.
It was almost as many supplies as three crates combined!
That's why they say high risk, high reward.
She happily clicked on the 'Vehicle' page. If she remembered correctly, her twist car could be upgraded!
Upgrade Required Materials: 12/10 plastic, 13/10 tin sheet, 4/4 tires, 2/2 pedals (Already upgradable, click to upgrade.)
Meng Qingyin clicked upgrade, rubbing her hands in anticipation.
The twist car flashed with a bright light. As the light faded, what appeared before Meng Qingyin was an... enhanced twist car?
The new twist car still had a plastic-textured body and a palm-sized steering wheel.
But there were also some differences, such as the glowing tires that were noticeably larger than before.
Moreover, the vehicle body was twice as large, and a cart bed, approximately one square meter in area, was added behind the seat.
It also gained a pair of pedals.
Vehicle: Enhanced Twist Car. Max Speed: Unknown (The bolder you are, the more you produce. As long as you dare to think and act, the twist car can also have lightning-fast speed!). Fuel Consumption: 0/100 kilometers (Pure human-powered vehicle, a good helper for saving fuel!). Current Mileage: 0. Today's Target Mileage: 1 km (One of the novice period benefits, you won't get such good treatment after the novice period~). Upgrade Required Materials: 2/20 plastic, 3/20 tin sheet, 0/20 wooden boards, 0/3 tires, 0/1 battery, 0/2 rearview mirrors (Work hard to upgrade!).
Meng Qingyin's mouth twitched slightly.
An enhanced twist car! This is unbelievable!
But at least it could be pedaled, and if she wanted to go faster, she could stand up and pedal, she thought, making the best of a bad situation.
As soon as this thought fell, a cold voice came from her mind:
Hello, you are the first player in this game to upgrade a vehicle, and you have received a special reward, which will be claimed after the announcement. Do you wish to announce?
Meng Qingyin was first stunned, then overjoyed.
There's actually a special reward?
What could the special reward be?
Can I choose an anonymous announcement?
What answered her was the system's cold prompt:
This reward will expire in ten seconds. Ten, nine...
Meng Qingyin subconsciously glanced at the Highway Survival Management Group, wanting to see if there were any clues about the special reward inside.
But unfortunately, those people weren't discussing it.
Four, three, two...
Announce, announce!
Fearing she would miss the special reward, Meng Qingyin immediately said, "I choose to announce!"
The initial novice gift box had given her so many surprises; this special reward must be excellent too, right?
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she couldn't miss it!
Announcement: 30th District player Meng Qingyin (ID 067256) successfully upgraded her vehicle, becoming the first player in all servers to upgrade a vehicle. A special reward will be issued!
Announcement: 30th District player Meng Qingyin (ID 067256) successfully upgraded her vehicle, becoming the first player in all servers to upgrade a vehicle. A special reward will be issued!
Announcement: 30th District player Meng Qingyin (ID 067256) successfully upgraded her vehicle, becoming the first player in all servers to upgrade a vehicle. A special reward will be issued!
The system announced three times in a row.
The players erupted.
Little Chenzi: "What, what? Someone upgraded a vehicle? What kind of Emperor of Europe is this?"
Mom Beat Me Again: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced, I'm convinced! Am I the only one who hasn't found a supply crate yet?!"
So High Oh: "No, only a dozen minutes have passed in the game, and someone has already upgraded a vehicle? Are we playing the same game?"
I am the Emperor of Europe: "Can this crappy game be recharged? Besides spending money, I can't think of a way to upgrade so quickly!"
Warm Sun: "Aren't you the Emperor of Europe, upstairs?"
I am the Emperor of Europe: "I just picked a nickname casually; it doesn't mean I'm the Emperor of Europe! I started with a broken bicycle, how am I the Emperor of Europe?"
Staring Crotch: "Did you notice? This announcement says it's the first in all servers! It's actually from our 30th District! Meng Qingyin, you are my god!"
Hahahaha: "So, is this reward also unique to the game? Oh my god, Big Shot, do you still need a hanger-on?"
Creeping in the Dark: "Meng Qingyin? Is that her real name? Is she so arrogant to use her real name in an announcement, or does she not care about us at all?"
Stinky Tofu My Love: "It seems using a nickname wouldn't help, right? Didn't you see that even the player ID was announced?"
Little Fairy: "No, is upgrading a vehicle that simple? I need 50 tin sheets just for mine; I can't afford to upgrade at all!"
A Bag of Rice to Carry Up Several Floors: "Ah? Mine needs 20 tin sheets... Does that mean the required materials for upgrading vary depending on the starting vehicle?"
Elegance Never Goes Out of Style: "Am I the only one curious about the special reward?"
Overlord: "I'm curious too, @Meng Qingyin, what's your special reward? Show us."
Meng Qingyin certainly didn't post the special reward, because she hadn't even opened the chat area.
Just now, after the announcement ended, a black chip suddenly appeared in her hand.
Smart Chip: Server-exclusive reward, to be used by binding with a vehicle.
The introduction was too brief, leaving Meng Qingyin utterly confused.
To be used by binding with a vehicle?
What exactly does this chip do?
