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 212 Entering a New Map

"Was there another earthquake just now?"

"No."

"No feeling? Probably not."

"Sorry, I have a bit of PTSD."

"Don't panic. Earthquakes are normal in mountainous areas. As long as it's not a major earthquake, it's not a problem."

"Dust storms are normal, that's just..."

"In short, let's be cautious."

"Holy crap, I just saw XXI at the transfer station!!"

Who is Cha Shiyi?

"I saw it too!!!!"

"Is XXI on our server??"

"That big shot from China who topped the mileage leaderboard twice in a row!"

“CHN****X11”

"Really?"

"It might not have been like that before, but we just merged the servers, so who knows!"

"However, those four digits weren't disclosed, were they?"

"No mistake, no mistake! That RV is so luxurious...tsk tsk."

"I saw it too! My dad and I had just come out of the restroom on the first floor of the inn when a luxury RV drove right towards us!"

"That car even has a rooftop terrace; it's incredibly exquisite."

"The youngest is beautiful. In our local dialect, she's stunning. Even if the car owner isn't Cha Shiyi, he must be rich or powerful."

"It makes sense when you think about it. My 30,000 men plus those who arrived at the rest stop last night will all be replenishing their supplies and resting for a few days. That's pretty normal, isn't it?"

"Damn, I was so focused on admiring the RV that I didn't even look at the license plate."

"Yeah, the gas is cheap at the rest stop, and the food street has daily specials for all kinds of food, except for functional foods. It has a kind of 'come back to life' vibe."

"I'm envious. I don't even know when I'll get to the transit station."

"What's there to envy? Buddha has his own way of living."

"I regret it. Last time I went to the transit station, I didn't replenish my supplies and rushed on my way. As a result, I ran out of supplies after a short time and wasted too much time on the road. I still haven't reached the transit station."

"There are quite a few luxury cars at this transit station."

"Yes, one of them was driven away before dawn. It looked a lot like a Cadillac."

"So, X11 is really on our server?"

...

While everyone was having a heated discussion on the public screen, Xi Xi had already skillfully driven the newly upgraded RV out of the east gate of the transfer station.

To avoid attracting attention, she got up very early in the morning, intending to retrieve the repaired vehicle before most people woke up.

Unexpectedly, before dawn, many adventurers had already begun to come and go from the transit station.

The upgraded RV is almost twice the size of its predecessor. Furthermore, thanks to the use of the final vehicle space expansion scroll, the entire vehicle body has become much wider and more substantial.

It's too conspicuous! Being eye-catching isn't necessarily a good thing, so Xi Xi casually picked up a rag, intending to use it to cover the license plate number.

But who would have thought that just as she was about to take action, the game system suddenly issued a warning: any attempt to modify or conceal the license plate number or other violations of the rules would be subject to extremely severe punishment.

This sudden warning instantly deflated Xi Xi. She glanced helplessly at the growing crowd around her, quickly gathered her things, and hurriedly called Chu Zhiqin to get in the car and set off.

And that's how that scene in the public chat came about...

"The mine was a mess, like an abandoned mine shaft. I knocked down the mine cart and the tracks, and found that, like the abandoned train before, some parts could be broken down into metal fragments!" Chu Zhiqin struggled to climb into the RV, carrying a bulging sack. She excitedly told Xi Xi while panting heavily.

"That's enough! This is all you need!" Xi Xi quickly called her mother to get in the car. She glanced at the pixel map on the central control screen and, after confirming that everything was correct, immediately activated the autopilot.

So, this is what happened.

Recalling her previous experience of missing out on hardwood trees, Xi Xi did not rush when leaving the transfer station this time. She was on high alert and carefully observed the road conditions to avoid missing important basic resources.

Logically speaking, this connecting section of the road is very likely to hide valuable metal fragments necessary for upgrading the advanced workbench.

Although Xi Xi doesn't need to upgrade her workbench, her sales business is currently short of metal scraps, so it's obvious that now is the perfect time to collect them.

Sure enough, not long after the RV drove off, Xi Xi spotted the entrance to a natural cave by the roadside with keen eyes.

Feeling somewhat uneasy staying home these past few days, Xi's mother patted Xi Xi on the shoulder and took on the task of collecting the metal fragments. Consequently, it was Xi Xi's turn to guard the car.

It was good that the mother and daughter divided the work. They couldn't waste any more time; there were only a few days left before the next earthquake, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they couldn't get to safety as soon as possible.

As the vehicle slowly moved forward, the mountain road gradually became steeper, with cliffs and precipices visible from time to time at the bends.

The cliff face was covered with lush pine and cypress trees, and in the distance, the mountains were layered and shrouded in mist. The peaks appeared and disappeared in the mist, like a fairyland, inspiring endless imagination. However, the mother and daughter had no mind to appreciate it at the moment.

As the first rays of morning sunlight pierce through the automatically adjustable skylight, soft and warm light spills into the RV like a golden veil.

Xi Xi sat in the driver's seat, keeping a close eye on the road ahead. In the quiet atmosphere, she keenly caught a slight rustling sound coming from above.

That's right, after the RV was upgraded, it was transformed into a compact duplex, with its layout completely redesigned.
