"This is way too expensive..." Looking at the astonishing price tag in front of her, Xi Xi couldn't help but secretly lament her situation.

She suddenly felt that the accommodation fee at Dongli Inn wasn't so outrageous after all; in comparison, it could even be considered a fair price.

Xi Xi wandered around the food market for a whole time, unwilling to give up.

After careful observation, she finally discovered that cooked food without additional effects was relatively inexpensive, while food with effects would double in price as the cooking complexity and the strength of the effects increased.

In the end, Xi Xi found an ordinary pizza shop and bought a regular double cheese and bacon pizza for lunch.

Although it's nothing special, it's reasonably priced and tastes pretty good.

After a hearty meal, Xi Xi rested and adjusted herself for a while. In the afternoon, she returned to the desert area through the west gate.

Xi Xi suddenly realized something and knew she had to verify it herself...

As she pondered, she made her way along the city wall toward the northwest of the supply station.

As soon as Xi Xi stepped out of the supply station, she felt an unprecedented heat wave, which rushed towards her like a surging tide.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat that kept seeping from her forehead, and frowned as she looked at the sun overhead.

She hadn't noticed before that the supply station was a hidden paradise with a surprisingly pleasant temperature, a stark contrast to the scorching heat outside, which felt like being in a furnace.

Xi Xi took a deep breath, composed herself, and continued walking forward.

The terrain around the city wall was flat, making it impossible to use a skateboard. Fortunately, not long after, she discovered a winding road in the vast desert not far away.

The road seemed to take a much longer route, winding and stretching endlessly, with a bumpy and uneven surface, clearly having not been repaired for a long time.

At the end of the highway stood the massive city wall outside the supply depot. Beneath the wall lay a gleaming golden treasure chest.

Congratulations on obtaining 1 Transformation Charm!

Congratulations on obtaining Night Vision Talisman *1

Congratulations on obtaining Invisibility Charm *1

Congratulations on obtaining a Binding Charm*1

[Successfully obtained a high-level treasure chest*1. Congratulations, adventurer, you have gained 30 survival points.]

A treasure chest full of charms! What a rich and high-level treasure chest!

While surprised, Xi Xi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the outer shell of the golden treasure chest.

She examined it carefully but couldn't see any obvious difference from the other high-level treasure chests.

Could this be considered the first reward box to arrive at the supply depot?

As Xi Xi pondered this, she suddenly stood up and sharply scanned her surroundings.

The fact that the reward chest is still intact here proves that no one has reached this place by road so far.

Before Xi Xi could examine the supplies carefully, she quickly pulled out all the talismans and stuffed them into her bag.

As soon as the talisman left the box, the treasure chest, which had been radiating golden light, vanished instantly under the light particles.

Xi Xi brought up the light screen map and quickly analyzed it.

In other words, players must pass through the Sand City transit station if they want to continue eastward.

The game determines the stage of progress by the order in which players arrive at the transfer stations.

As the first adventurer to arrive at the transit station, Xi Xi naturally had a great advantage.

This means that while Xi Xi is waiting for her mother, she has nothing better to do, so she can take the opportunity to ambush the 601 family on the wanted list.

She's good at waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

Thinking this through, Xi Xi quickly made a plan and walked towards the other side of the city wall without hesitation.

As Xi Xi passed the city gate of the transit station, she subconsciously peered inside, but unfortunately the gate was too long and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Not long after, she returned to the oasis area she had visited before.

It turns out that even if I hadn't chosen to leave the waterway today, I would still have inevitably run into this city wall.

Sure enough, a short while later, Xi Xi found another high-level treasure chest at the junction of the oasis boundary and the city wall.

To her shock, the contents of the two treasure chests were exactly the same.

Xi Xi became even more certain that this was a reward chest set up by the game, and the contents of the chest had nothing to do with her luck today.

At the ends of the two routes closest to the supply station, one to the left and one to the right, the road and the waterway, there is a talisman reward box.

After looting all the talismans, Xi Xi began to plan how to ambush the wanted 601 family.

Just then, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a blue dot flashing on the map. This dot was moving rapidly along the city wall and getting closer to the transfer station.

The blue dots represent the players.

Xi Xi's heart tightened immediately. They've arrived already? She quickly walked towards the city gate of the transit station.

Unfortunately, the player's icon entered the supply station before her. Helpless, Xi Xi had no choice but to crouch down, carefully pass through the doorway, and hide in the shadows inside.

She held her breath, her eyes sharp as a hawk's, fixed intently on what lay ahead. Soon, she spotted a group of figures heading towards the Dongli Post Station.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the group entered the post station, Xi Xi, quick as a flash, found an extremely secluded corner and hid there.

Immediately afterwards, she turned on the light screen camera without hesitation, consuming one high-powered lens access privilege, and peered towards the transparent glass door at the entrance of the inn.

Upon seeing the people's attire, Xi Xi's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out that the players' clothing was clearly not that of Chinese people, but rather resembled the distinctive attire of the Middle East in the original world.

One of the men was dressed in a traditional Arabic robe embroidered with intricate gold patterns, seemingly intended to display his nobility and wealth.

Unfortunately, the sleeves of the robe were wide and blackened, and the white headscarf on his head was also stained, hanging down his shoulders in a slightly sloppy manner.

Beside the man were four young women, who stood to the side, looking reserved and watching him talk to the NPC Sheji with great unease.

Suddenly, the man's face flushed red, as if he had some kind of argument with the NPC. He then strode away from the post station in a huff.

The four women looked at each other in bewilderment, and in the end, they had no choice but to follow the man.

Xi Xi watched as the man strode to an open space in the parking lot, took out a talisman from his pocket, and in an instant, a super-large luxury RV appeared out of thin air in front of her.

The car's body lines are smooth and powerful, outlining an unparalleled domineering and noble aura.

The design of the front of the car is particularly ingenious, with a wide air intake grille and sharp LED headlights complementing each other.

However, the car body is covered with too many gold trim strips, making it look far too flashy.

Xi Xi couldn't quite grasp the extravagant taste of these oil tycoons, but she couldn't help but feel a deep envy for their luxurious RVs.

In the original world, the differences between people were truly vast...
