Chapter 11 An Unanimous Choice

Kenji Hagiwara thought he could finally fall asleep peacefully, but just as he leaned back in his car seat and closed his eyes to drift off, a strange sense of danger rose in his heart, causing him to instinctively open his eyes and reach for the gun beside him.

Then he saw a giant rabbit, the same size as before, scratching at the driver's side window of the car in the same way. The rabbit monsters did not attack the car together. After killing the rabbit monster, he closed his eyes and rested for about 4 or 5 minutes.

It seems this game is quite 'considerate', not letting the rabbit monsters gang up on each other, but attacking them individually. I guess this attack 'dungeon' isn't a one-time event, but rather a continuous one!

Even if ordinary people like Feng Jiang, who are not armed, know this information, just looking at the size of these giant rabbit monsters, their claws that gleam with cold light, and the dark and blurry vision at night, it will not be easy to fight monsters at night.

Will this monster attack 'dungeon' last for 30 minutes like the daily dungeons during the day? What about the respawn rate? How often will a rabbit monster spawn? Let's observe for a while!

Seeing this, he pondered these things in his mind while releasing the safety of the gun, carefully opening a crack in the car window again, and shooting at the giant rabbit monster outside the window, all the while thinking with relief.

Fortunately, I didn't slack off like I did on the bomb disposal suit this time. I not only carried a gun as required, but also brought a spare magazine. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time figuring out how to deal with this 'dungeon' of rabbit monster attacks at night.

"Bang!" Accompanied by the sound of a firearm, another giant rabbit monster fell down, dropping the black iron treasure chest. This time, Kenji Hagiwara did not rest, but continued to observe the situation outside the car window from inside the car.

Just as he had predicted, about five minutes after he killed the rabbit monster, another giant rabbit monster emerged from the thick fog, leaped straight to the driver's side window of the car, and began scratching with its claws, even attempting to bite with its teeth this time...

So the next day, as per his biological clock, Feng Xingshou woke up at 5:30 a.m. as soon as he got out of the car and stretched, he was astonished to see six black iron treasure chests scattered on the ground outside the driver's door.

She looked at Officer Sang, who had been fast asleep in the car but had probably been woken up by her getting out and closing the car door, with a somewhat bewildered expression, and asked in a puzzled voice, "What's with these black iron treasure chests? Could it be that as soon as we start driving, they automatically drop treasure chests at night based on the distance we travel?"

"Yawn... This game probably won't be that considerate. Actually, it was after midnight last night..." Having only slept for less than 5 hours in such terrible conditions, Kenji Hagiwara fought off his sleepiness and told Kazesei-no-Mori what had happened last night.

After listening to him, Feng Xing Shou realized that there was actually a nighttime dungeon in the game that had no announcement, and the rule of this nighttime dungeon was that a giant rabbit monster would spawn every five minutes.

If he weren't assigned to a gun-wielding job, he wouldn't have been able to deal with these giant rabbit monsters at all. However, it seems that in this nighttime 'dungeon,' you have to kill one before the next one will spawn.

Furthermore, for every two that are killed, the attack power of the giant rabbit monsters that spawn again will increase. Last night, Hagiwara observed that the first and second ones were scratching at the car body and windows with their claws.

The third and fourth not only used their claws but also their huge incisors to gnaw at it. The fourth and fifth even used their powerful limbs to jump and trample on the initial vehicle.

.

He then reminded Feng Xing Shou to check the marks left on the vehicle the previous night, telling her that this initial vehicle could withstand the scratches of the first two monsters, but the third and fourth would leave tooth marks, and the fifth and sixth would leave dents on the vehicle.

...

At this point, Kenji Hagiwara continued, "However, I speculate that if we leave this nighttime 'dungeon' alone and don't kill the giant rabbits in the 30 minutes after midnight, the initial vehicle should not be breached by them for the time being."

For him, with them outside the car, he would definitely be on high alert for 30 minutes, and it would be impossible for him to sleep as soundly as Feng Jiang. In addition, the night dungeon can drop 6 black iron-level treasure chests, which is also a good reward.

Unfortunately, the Sakura pistol only has 5 bullets. He used up the spare magazine last night. Even if he had brought two spare magazines yesterday, he wouldn't be able to run the monster-hunting dungeon many times this night, unless he could obtain bullets or similar weapons through other means.

"I never imagined that every night would be so dangerous, cough cough... Sorry, my biological clock is quite fixed, and I don't have my phone with me. Even if I did have my phone, I couldn't connect to the internet. Without something to distract me from falling asleep, I simply can't stay up all night. I sleep very soundly at night..."

"Luckily, your profession has given you the habit of carrying a gun, otherwise I might never have known what the real dangers of this damn game are at night." Feng Xingshou looked at the car, which had obviously more marks than yesterday. Trusting the police profession, and knowing that the six black iron treasure chests couldn't be faked, he decided to stick to his gun.

So he believed Hagiwara's words without question, and said with a mixture of relief and anxiety, "But the monsters are already this dangerous after only two days of the game. They must be even more terrifying later on. It seems we need to upgrade our vehicles quickly."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the six black iron treasure chests next to the car. Just then, Kenji Hagiwara also looked at the chests, noticed this, and smiled at her: "Looks like we thought of the same thing, Kaze-chan."

"Hopefully, these treasure chests contain blueprints and materials to upgrade the car! At least enough to upgrade the important parts like the body and windows." After saying that, Feng Xingshou went to the trunk, took out a crowbar, and opened the six black iron treasure chests one by one.

As the Black Iron Chest opened, the game screen flashed repeatedly in front of her: [Congratulations to the Survivor for obtaining one Portable Folding Toilet Manufacturing Blueprint, 10 units of Plastic, 10 units of Rubber, and 10 units of Black Iron!]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one Mini Red Clay Furnace crafting blueprint, 10 units of clay, 10 units of charcoal, and 10 units of black iron!]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one clay pot crafting blueprint, 10 units of clay, 10 units of charcoal, and 10 units of black iron!]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one barbecue grill crafting blueprint, 10 units of charcoal, 10 units of bamboo skewers, and 10 units of black iron!]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one Plastic Water Tank Manufacturing Blueprint, 10 units of Plastic, and 10 units of Black Iron!]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining a 5L water collector blueprint, 10 units of plastic, 10 units of rubber, 10 units of activated carbon, and 10 units of black iron!]

Upon seeing the supplies obtained from opening the Black Iron Treasure Chest, Kazesei and Hagiwara Kenji said in unison, "There are even blueprints for a portable folding toilet. I wonder if we have enough materials?"

"..." Seeing that the two had said similar things, they realized why they had said those things and felt a little embarrassed. Feng Xingshou was thinking that he was old and should pretend not to be affected at this time, so he quickly checked if there were enough materials.

Kenji Hagiwara, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss, walked over to her as if nothing had happened. While clicking on the car manufacturing function menu on the game panel, he said, "Quickly check if we have enough materials. I've been holding back since yesterday, and I'm almost at my limit!"

.

"Uh! Okay!" Feng Xingshou, on the other hand, showed no signs of the composure expected of a mature middle-aged man. He seemed rather flustered as he cooperated, his mind racing with unfounded thoughts: Are all foreigners this open? Bringing up this in front of a woman...

How can someone be so self-righteous about privacy issues?

While she was lost in these thoughts, Kenji Hagiwara had already quickly found the portable folding toilet option in the menu and selected to use the blueprint to activate the manufacturing function.

Then, looking at the material requirements, I was a little surprised: "10 units of plastic, 10 units of rubber, and 10 units of iron. These are materials that are exactly listed in this blueprint?"

"Really!" Upon hearing this, Feng Xingshou glanced at the material requirements on the crafting page and couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that the resources in every treasure chest that drops from monsters in the dungeon tonight will be enough to craft one of the finished products based on the blueprint inside?"

"It's very possible, we can try it in a bit. But for now, let's try making this portable folding toilet!" After saying that, Kenji Hagiwara noticed that Kaze-chan's ears had turned red. He wanted to laugh, but then felt that it would be impolite to laugh at this moment, so he pretended not to notice and reached out to select the "make" button.

As he finished his movement, the two of them were astonished to see that some of the plastic, rubber, and black iron were missing from the supplies piled up next to the car. Then, less than 10 seconds later, a black, square package, about the size of a 10L container, appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Seeing this, Feng Xingshou subconsciously glanced at Hagiwara Kenji. Her glance was meaningless; it was just a subconscious action.

When Kenji Hagiwara saw her gaze, he actually walked up to the black package, looked it over a few times, and then got to work. Feng Xingshou didn't know how he did it, but he saw the package, which wasn't very big, unfold and open in his hands.

It formed something similar to the camping tents with separate toilets that camping bloggers have photographed. It was a three-dimensional rectangle about two meters high and more than half a meter wide, all black, with a curtain on one side that could be pulled open.

Inside, there was a mini plastic toilet about the size of a car toilet, covered with a plastic bag. A roll of black garbage bags, like those found on supermarket shelves, was hanging on a hook next to the curtain.

Obviously, this portable folding toilet isn't as advanced as those in novels, capable of automatically processing waste and turning it into organic fertilizer. Fortunately, it provides some privacy, so it's usable for now.

Both of them were very satisfied with this, and then Kenji Hagiwara looked at Mamoru Fuusei and said, "Ladies first, you go first?"

"Uh...you go first! I'm not in a hurry. I'll see what we can make from these blueprints first." Feng Xingshou was originally going to agree, after all, as a woman, she had some difficulty accepting sharing a bathroom with a man.

But she thought she could take the opportunity to hide in the bathroom and check out the details of the game skill's home, how to make and manipulate water. This would definitely take up a lot of time, since he was in such a hurry to make the bathroom, he must have been holding it in very long.

I couldn't knowingly waste too much time in the bathroom while he was suffering! So I decided to find an excuse to let him go first. That way, if I stayed in the bathroom a little longer, at worst he'd suspect I was constipated, but it wouldn't cause him any physical harm...

-_-|| But thinking about the hygiene of the bathroom, she quickly took out the toilet paper she had collected in the dungeon yesterday from her backpack and handed it to Hagiwara, trying her best to be shameless and say, "You probably need this, don't forget to wear it."

"..." Kenji Hagiwara's ability to read people is practically superhuman. Just by looking at her insincere eyes, he knew that she needed some private space to handle some personal matters, so he didn't stand on ceremony with her.

After taking the toilet paper, I moved the portable folding toilet a little further away from the car. *cough cough* Although I could shamelessly pretend I wasn't embarrassed, I definitely didn't want any women to hear… my voice!
