Chapter 249 The Enticing Treasure Magnet

The next morning, Xi Xi was awakened by Chu Zhiqin's exclamation. She groggily climbed onto the balcony and immediately saw her mother busily taking in the ropes.

The rope used for traction was not an ordinary hemp rope, but the traction rope of the .

After using the vehicle customization item yesterday, reels resembling fishing rod reels, which can store and release the traction rope, quietly appeared on the originally unremarkable terrace railing.

The material of the reel looks quite peculiar, with a faint metallic luster. When you touch it, you can feel a magnetic attraction that is continuously transmitted to the entire rope.

Chu Zhiqin pulled on a traction rope with some effort. The lower end of the magnetic traction rope had a device similar to a suction cup, which firmly sucked onto a high-level treasure chest.

"You know what, we've actually pulled up quite a few treasure chests!" Chu Zhiqin said excitedly, pointing to several treasure chests she had already retrieved. She then called out to Xi Xi, "But sometimes we get nothing. We didn't catch anything with that rope just now."

Xi Xi tentatively pulled on one of the ropes, and the moment her hand grasped it, she could feel a heavy weight coming from it.

However, this weight is completely different from the pulling force of a live fish struggling to break free when fishing. By simply turning the reel step by step, you can easily hoist the attracted treasure chest high into the air.

With a creaking sound, Xi Xi pulled up a mid-level treasure chest covered with seaweed.

This treasure chest seems to have been hanging there for quite some time; the seaweed on it is almost wilted from the sun.

Good, good, good! This vehicle customization symbol was really worth it. It was worth all the time Xi Xi spent planning yesterday.

At this point, the RV has a brand new look inside and out, top to bottom. In addition to the and , Xi Xi also used her skillful brush to draw drainage and ventilation devices and emergency escape devices, and changed the paint color of the vehicle body.

According to her preferences, she painted the car white, and even made the most of the space by using the remaining time to change the interior color scheme from a bohemian style to a modern light French style.

With a new style and a fresh start, Xi Xi stretched and returned to the driver's seat, feeling refreshed, and opened the newly added "All-Seeing Guardian" on the central control screen.

The All-Seeing Guardian can be roughly compared to a 360-degree surround camera in the original world. The central control screen displays everything around the RV in 360 degrees. Xi Xi can even learn about the temperature, humidity, wind direction and light level around the RV from the monitoring screen.

Furthermore, the omni-channel monitoring system is equipped with an automatic alarm device. If any unfamiliar player or hostile creature approaches the RV, all doors, windows, and ventilation openings will be closed immediately, and an alarm will sound.

As a result, their sense of security was off the charts, and for the next few days, Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin lived an exceptionally leisurely life of survival.

Because they set off on time and had plenty of time, the mother and daughter didn't need to rush and handed over the driving task entirely to the constant-speed automatic driving system.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly on the cross-sea bridge. Not only was the road flat and wide, but the weather was also exceptionally pleasant, and the previous situation of salt fog and road collapse never occurred again.

Xi Xi calculated the distance according to the scale, and if all went well, she could reach the refuge island marked on the escape map by tomorrow morning. This time, she might even arrive before Li Jinshao, and she would have the opportunity to choose a suitable refuge site herself.

Strange... why didn't I run into Li Jinshao on the road? Lost in her beautiful daydreams, Xi Xi suddenly realized this. After thinking for a moment, she decided that she had just missed him when she went down to fish under the bridge.

The warm sunlight shone on the sea, and Xi Xi, who was leisurely to the point of being overly relaxed, suddenly felt that she was no different from the old man sitting with his legs crossed, enjoying the cool air at the village entrance in the middle of summer...

Li Jinshao and Shaliman are both lone wolf players. They are usually busy traveling and rarely have time to kill time with Xi Xi. As a result, the Liu sisters, who can take turns driving, have become Xi Xi's best playmates when she wants to pass the time.

Xi Xi was so bored that she even became acquainted with Liu Yunyan's "new favorite" mermaid baby.

The baby mermaid was initially extremely aloof and shy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that "it's best not to say a word to someone you don't get along with."

But children are children after all, and they're easy to fool. So, every time Xi Xi went fishing, she would give the baby fish a small basket of fish and shrimp as a gift.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and after only a few times, the mermaid baby was able to call out Xi Xi's name and voluntarily gave her the deep-sea crystal.

Xi Xi also used all the crystals she had previously collected to make Sea Town Soul Pearls, for future use.

"Thanks!" Liu Yunyan accepted the Sea Town Soul Pearl that Xi Xi had helped her create, and then continued chatting freely, "Where were we? Oh right, guess what happened? I earned a lot of survival points last night!"

Liu Yunyan excitedly told Xi Xi about the big order she received yesterday—data backup of 5 movie resources.

A few days ago, when Liu Yunyan was chatting with Xi Xi, she mentioned her difficulties. Unlike Xi Xi and Cheng Xu, she didn't have a business mind. Her older sister, Liu Enxi, had also lost her livelihood to Cui Quan, so the two sisters were really short of money.

Only then did Xi Xi learn the complete story of Liu Enxi and Cui Quan's past from Liu Yunyan.

The story is a bit melodramatic. In the original world, Xi Xi would have no interest whatsoever in these forum posts about emotional entanglements.

But things are different now. She was basking in the sun, eating the last bag of potato chips, and listening to gossip with great interest.
