What if I'm a Bad Artist? I Lie Down and Win with a Divine Brush

After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...

Chapter 21 sounds very auspicious.

After the transaction was completed, Xi Xi lovingly stroked the newly acquired . Unable to wait a moment longer, she immediately recited the incantation to ignite the talisman. As the talisman burned, she couldn't help but ask Li Jinshao curiously what level of treasure chest this talisman had come from.

As expected, it turned out to be a high-level treasure chest that Xi Xi had never heard of or seen before. However, Li Jinshao's car was a hybrid electric vehicle with solar panels that came with it from the factory. After being equipped with the game's unified power core, it was even more powerful.

"Wow, that's incredibly lucky! The 'Great Luck' is truly amazing!" Xi Xi couldn't help but sigh. She'd always heard people say that electric vehicles were terrible, with poor range and inconvenient to use, good for nothing except environmental protection. But these environmentalists using energy-saving cars had become the most direct beneficiaries after entering the game. Indeed, everything has two sides; isn't this a case of losing one thing and gaining another?

[Item Description: Disposable consumable. It absorbs all sunlight from the vehicle's surface and converts it into photoelectric energy. The energy consumption channels for different parts of the vehicle can be selected via the central control interface.]

Xi Xi snapped out of her daze and looked at the lit-up central control screen. Sure enough, a button for selecting energy consumption channels had appeared on the screen. Upon clicking it, she discovered that the interior lights, air conditioning, and even the powertrain could each have their own energy consumption channels and order selected! It felt like using Alipay or WeChat Pay, where you could set the preferred payment method and deduction order.

It doesn't even need solar panels; it can directly absorb all sunlight from the car's surface and convert it into electricity. Talismans are truly amazing! They almost exceed human technological comprehension; both the curtain talisman and the solar energy talisman have raised the bar for current technology. Xi Xi suddenly realized that these players who already had such in-car accessories likely underestimated the power of talismans, thus missing the opportunity to use them.

Thinking it over, Xi Xi decided that she should take a gamble as soon as possible. Once this information spread among the masses, the cost of collecting talismans would obviously increase significantly.

So, she used up another 4 stamina points to risk crafting two stone knives and two stone axes. Now she only had a meager 1 stamina point left... When she finished crafting the last stone axe, Xi Xi's trembling hands caused her to stumble and drop it, which fell to the ground at her feet.

It's alright if people get hurt, as long as the car isn't damaged. Xi Xi touched the car's base with heartache. Now she truly understood Luo Shi's predicament. Her legs were stiff and weak, her hands were twitching uncontrollably, and even breathing had become much more difficult.

Even so, driven by greed, Xi Xi opened her personal homepage, set the transaction name to anonymous, and listed the stone knife and stone axe for trading.

Xi Xi had carefully studied the game's trading system, which was divided into two modes: and . Unlike free trading, which was achieved through active social interaction between players, set trading simply meant that the seller would post a trade and set the types of items needed. As long as the buyer provided any item that met their requirements, the .

Furthermore, because free trade requires social interaction and cannot be set to anonymous, setting up a transaction skips this social step, allowing both buyers and sellers to use anonymity. This can be described as a user-friendly design that iRenkuangxi (a popular online platform for internet users) appreciates, saving time, effort, and communication.

However, there is one downside: skipping the seller's approval process significantly reduces its feasibility. It's not hard to imagine a situation where someone trades for goods they don't want at all.

Imagine a player wants to trade water for food. Their request would naturally include the type of food. However, they end up with their least favorite fruit—durian—and can't eat it. Theoretically, durian falls under the category of food, so the game's decision is successful, and the trade is completed.

Therefore, to prevent unequal trades or someone using resources that Xi Xi doesn't need as bargaining chips, she specifically set it up so that each stone knife and stone axe could be exchanged for . Xi Xi assumed that even the worst quality talisman couldn't be too bad, right?

After doing all that, Xi Xi checked the safety of the car interior, then reclined half of the seat, using her general's coat as a blanket, and lay down. There were simply too many supplies; Xi Xi was already quite satisfied to have made this much space. She snuggled closer to the coat, found the most comfortable position, and closed her eyes.

The small space shielded her from the harsh outside cold, and the air conditioner emitted a soft, warm glow, allowing her to relax effortlessly. The soft seat enveloped her tired body, and the gentle, soothing lights on the dashboard added a touch of tranquility to the quiet night.

"Speaking of which, why did the system choose me..." Xi Xi murmured softly, then realized the question was a bit funny. For some reason, it sounded like a couple deeply in love, insisting on asking each other why they liked each other.

The car was silent for a long time before the sound of even breathing could be heard, and Xi Xi drifted off to sleep.

Much, much later, Xi Xi realized that the system had taken a liking to her. It was all thanks to her impulsive decision to use a retractable strap to tie a woven bag to the roof of her car while she was at the convenience store. This action inadvertently created the car's unique shape, one in a million...

However, that's a story for later. At this moment, Xi Xi was still unaware of the intricacies of the situation. She was lost in her dreams, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The next morning, as expected, Xi Xi woke up again due to her biological clock. Ever since the apocalypse in her previous life, she had always been a light sleeper; no matter how late she went to bed, she would always open her eyes at the crack of dawn.
