Chapter 93 Skill Upgrade

This reward also gave Hagiwara, Matsuda, and the others a very clear understanding of their luck in this lousy game.

But Feng Xingshou was right about one thing: although the rewards she got from opening chests were all of relatively high quality and value, she had never gotten any vegetables that could be bought for a few dollars in real life.

However, the ingredients that Matsuda, Hagiwara, and the others got from their three treasure chests were all very cheap vegetables and fruits, and even the drinks were very cheap, including high-tech blended juices that no one in a buffet restaurant would want to drink!

They then realized that the reason they hadn't had any vegetables for the past few days was because Feng Xing Shou had been incredibly lucky. They never imagined that good luck could have such a drawback; it was utterly baffling! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

This result pleased Feng Xingshou greatly. Excellent! At least for this season, he shouldn't have to worry about running out of food. He should save up some roadside treasure chests so they can open one when they're out of food. (*^▽^*)

With Kazesei Mori happy and Hagiwara and Matsuda in somewhat complicated moods, the three of them drove until dark before parking. After eating a ready-made dinner, Kazesei Mori washed up and, before going to bed, eagerly opened the mental power awakening potion and drank it...

At 12:30 a.m. that night, after confirming that no new monsters had spawned, Hagiwara and Matsuda worked together seamlessly. Without discussing it, one of them stood guard with a gun while the other opened the car door and carried the treasure chest outside into the car.

However, upon seeing the color and size of the treasure chest, they both paused in surprise. Matsuda frowned and said, "It was a silver treasure chest last night, why is it still a silver treasure chest tonight? After the daytime dungeon, we've confirmed that the direction we're heading towards the back of the car is the future."

The direction the car is heading is in the past. Based on yesterday's vehicle mileage and the date and time of the daytime instance, the ratio of distance to historical time was determined. So why is tonight's instance reward still a silver treasure chest?

According to our calculations, we should have gotten the bronze treasure chest by tonight! Speaking of which, the monsters tonight are the same as last night's. Did we calculate it wrong? Or is the distance and time ratio we deduced incorrect?

"If we can make mistakes in such a simple calculation, then we've wasted our university education." Hagiwara was very confident in his calculation abilities, and he had been playing the game for a few more days than Matsuda.

Therefore, based on the current situation, another possibility was quickly deduced: "Perhaps in the gameplay upgrades after the start of the game's disaster season, the ratio of road time to dungeon time is not as simple as we deduced, and there may be more complex rules."

After all, we've only been getting bronze chests during the day and afternoon. Based on the direction we're heading and the distance we've calculated, by evening, the highway chests we get should gradually evolve into iron-level highway chests.

"I was careless. I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it." Matsuda's expression became much more serious as he realized what this meant.

"Heh... I only realized this when I saw these silver treasure chests." Hagiwara smiled wryly. "Thinking about it, it makes sense. What we can deduce, other survivors can also deduce."

Even if other survivors can't interfere with reality through their backpack space like Feng Jiang, they can still calculate the dungeon's time using a simple travel-time ratio, if they have any recollection of recent historical events.

It's estimated that many people can use similar calculation methods to determine the time it takes for the opponent to enter the instance, allowing survivors to adjust their strategies accordingly.

Benefit from understanding history...

If overly simplistic rules don't pose a challenge to survivors but instead provide them with significant advantages, the game organizers likely wouldn't favor such a one-dimensional development.

"So before we can save Jing Danna and the class monitor, we need to figure out the rules regarding the ratio of the newly upgraded route to the dungeon time?" Matsuda thought of the changes to the game rules.

He clicked his tongue in exasperation, wondering how many possible calculation rules there were. "Tsk! This is going to be a real pain! Hagi! I have a bad feeling about this."

"Me too. Looks like I'll have to discuss it with Feng-chan tomorrow. We might need to re-enter tomorrow's instance to check the situation and roughly deduce the possibility of changes to the route and historical time rules." Hagiwara also felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that tomorrow would bring some very tricky problems...

.

Whether it was the effect of the mental awakening potion or the effects of the other drug had worn off, her biological clock was still running steadily. In any case, until the next morning, Feng Xingshou's biological clock woke her up again very precisely on time.

A few minutes after waking up, she remembered that she had taken medicine to fall asleep the night before. She quickly checked her hidden game panel, and the changes in the values ​​there gave her the feeling that her guess was pretty much correct:

Survivor: Wind Star Guardian

Age: 35

Life: 50

Spirituality: 200

Strength: 30

Agility: 63

Vehicle: Tier 1 vehicle

Basic Attack: Palm Immortal Technique Extreme. Skill effect: When cast on a target, it can remove all negative status effects from the target and restore 50% of the user's own health as healing.

Ultimate Skill: Reincarnation and Resurrection. When actively cast on a dead target, it can revive the target with 60% of the user's own life force. Passive effect: After the user dies, their consciousness will automatically return to the time before death and be revived 6 minutes prior.

Inherent skill backpack space: a portable storage space in a time-freeze state, with a total volume of 10 cubic meters. It will automatically classify items when storing them, and similar items can be stacked up to 19,998 times.

Inherent Skills Home Space: A portable hot spring-themed space covering an area of ​​two acres.

The unique skill, Water Dragon Bite, consumes the user's spiritual energy to create a certain amount of water, and allows the user to manipulate the water in various ways.

Her physical attributes of vitality, strength, and agility remained unchanged, but her spirituality doubled, and her magic-based skills also increased significantly, which was within her expectations.

It turns out that after Feng Xingshou saw that both vehicle star upgrades and vehicle soft furnishing upgrades resulted in doubled performance, he vaguely speculated that the mental power awakening potion might actually have an effect on his game skills.

The result might be that one's game skills and mental energy attributes would also increase exponentially, just like vehicle star upgrades and interior upgrades. Sure enough, after this upgrade...

My spirituality, healing capacity, backpack space, home space volume and area, and even the number of stacks have all increased exponentially. Even the passive death effect of reincarnation has changed from 3 minutes to 6 minutes.

It seems this mental power awakening potion truly lives up to its reputation as the best reward from the Golden Treasure Chest, as Hagiwara claimed. Its effects are indeed outstanding. If I ever encounter an opportunity to obtain a Golden Treasure Chest in the future, I absolutely must seize it.

miss.

It's just a matter of needing real-world vehicles, then using in-game materials to upgrade the trailer and then star it up! My inventory space has now doubled to 10 cubic meters, and I can stack nearly 20,000 units. Hmph... I won't let any real-world vehicles I encounter go to waste!

She yawned as she walked out of the bedroom, where she saw six silver treasure chests piled up against the wall next to her bedroom door. Not far away, Hagiwara and Matsuda were finally able to sleep comfortably without having to squeeze together.

Instead, they laid down the sofa bed that had been there during the day, and each of them had a single bed. They rested on either side of the living room, and they looked like they were sleeping soundly even though it was already bright outside the car window.

It seems that a comfortable environment makes it easier to rest, which explains why they woke up late, since they played a nighttime dungeon last night! But why did they pile up the silver treasure chests outside their door? Are they suggesting that they let them continue to open these chests?

Opening treasure chests and obtaining resources and various blueprints to craft items is indeed quite rewarding, and acquiring good things brings strong feelings of happiness. However, it seems that she doesn't lack any major components for her vehicle for the time being.

Level 2 interior design blueprints obviously won't appear in this road to the past instance. Considering yesterday's data cable and vegetables, let's leave them for Hagiwara and Matsuda to open!

Perhaps they'll find something of low value but useful for everyone's daily life! She thought of this, but didn't deduce from the appearance of these silver treasure chests that the dungeon level last night was different from what they had previously estimated.

He decided to leave the silver treasure chest to Hagiwara and Matsuda, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to wake up the sleeping Hagiwara and Matsuda, and he also had various ready-made cooked food in his backpack for breakfast.

Having learned her lesson from yesterday morning, she dared not stand outside in the cold again, so she simply turned around and went back to her bedroom, and just like yesterday morning, opened the public channel area to check it.

Aside from some meaningless complaints, grumbles, and requests for help that were of dubious authenticity, everyone's comments were pretty much the same as yesterday morning. They were all talking about how much colder the weather had gotten, how uncomfortable it was to stay in the car, how difficult it was to upgrade their cars, and so on.

Some people were also calling out to themselves, saying they had collected enough materials to manufacture certain parts and asking for their help in processing them, while no one in the regional channel was discussing vehicle star upgrades.

It seems the game organizers don't intend to announce this rule immediately. Are they planning to keep it as a hidden rule and let other survivors discover it themselves? This thought flashed through her mind, and she moved to the trading area because of the comments in the regional channel.

Discovering that all the items I listed yesterday morning had already been sold, I decided to manufacture the parts that the survivors had requested in the chat earlier and put them back on the shelf for sale.

This was her first time manufacturing vehicle parts inside a car, and she was a little worried at first. But she found that it was no different from manufacturing them outside the car before. She just had to put the boxes containing the parts on the shelf, just like yesterday morning.

So she then transformed into a ruthless vehicle level 1 parts manufacturing machine, using the materials in her hands to create various level 1 parts, listing them on the shelf to exchange for more materials, and then continuing to manufacture and sell them...

Just as her arm started to ache and her fingers went numb from clicking on the production and listing options on the game screen, Hagiwara's worried voice came from outside the bedroom door: "Fū-chan! Are you awake?"
