[Game Announcement: The leaderboard for the new player protection period has been published. Adventurers, please check the pinned post.]

The system notification sounded suddenly. Xi Xi was startled, put down the book in her hand, and quickly opened the public chat. There, she saw a new rainbow-colored tag.

[Dongli Milestone Ranking]

01 CHN****X11

02 CNH****601

03 AUS****K47

...

[Comfort Ranking at the Dawn of the East]

01 USA****U07

02 RUS****201

03 CAN****923

...

The leaderboard is divided into two columns: one is called the Mileage Ranking and the other is called the Comfort Ranking. Each list shows the top 20 players.

"What does this mean? I don't understand..."

Is it a game ID code?

Where can I find my ID number? It's not on my profile page.

"Why do these first three letters look like the abbreviation of a country name!?"

"I can't read foreign languages, what does it all mean?"

"Holy crap! It looks like a license plate number!!"

"I glanced at the license plate and it really has changed!!?? When did it change?"

"I got goosebumps... I saw the license plate yesterday and it was still the same."

"Damn it, give me back my license plate number! I paid a fortune for it!"

"The top two spots on the mileage leaderboard are both held by people from China!"

"Seeing the first letters of some countries makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"Hey! That CHN****X11 is on two lists!"

"Wow, who is this big shot who's so powerful...?"

Xi Xi was watching the excitement. She should have realized that since it was a survival racing game, there would definitely be a speed competition.

As she pondered this, Xi Xi was startled by the heated discussion on the public screen. She acted decisively, quickly stopping the autopilot system. She scanned her surroundings with the sharp eyes of a hawk, and only after confirming there was no danger did she get out of the car and quickly walk around to the front.

Upon closer inspection, sure enough, the license plate had been replaced by a fluorescent plate with a silver background and black lettering, looking completely unfamiliar.

“CHN887XX11…” Xi Xi murmured, suddenly feeling that the last digit of the license plate looked familiar.

Just as she was about to say something, a familiar game notification sound rang in her ears, abruptly pulling her thoughts back.

[Congratulations on ranking first on the mileage leaderboard! The reward has been sent to your in-game mailbox. Please claim it promptly!]

[Congratulations on ranking 12th on the Comfort Ranking! The reward has been sent to your in-game mailbox, please claim it promptly!]

Huh?! Xi Xi was stunned. The license plate number that was ranked number one on the leaderboard was actually her own!

She returned to her car as she pondered this. Actually, upon closer reflection, it wasn't hard to understand.

Since we got self-driving cars, we no longer have to worry about the energy drain from driving. Even yesterday, when my energy was completely depleted, the car still ran non-stop all night.

As Xi Xi pondered this, she gradually formed new considerations and judgments.

Once the general public becomes aware of the mileage leaderboard, it will likely become extremely difficult to top it.

After all, autonomous driving does not require the driver to expend physical energy, but its speed is constant, and its characteristic is to seek only stability rather than speed.

While driving a vehicle manually does require physical exertion, the amount of physical exertion is the same regardless of the speed...

Thinking of this, Xi Xi stroked her chin thoughtfully, then her gaze shifted to the comfort list beside her.

As the name suggests, the comfort ranking is based on the environment inside the vehicle.

Xi Xi was now somewhat bewildered. She had to re-examine the interior of her secondhand car.

Aside from the fact that the middle section of the car was slightly elongated due to the previous use of the , there's really nothing else particularly beautiful or amazing about it.

No matter what, my beat-up little car can hardly compare to other people's luxury cars, let alone rank twelfth in the whole server!

If wealthy people drive luxury RVs to join the tour, what's the difference between that and bringing their own investment? People like Xi Xi, who come from humble backgrounds, can't compare at all.

However, after careful consideration, Xi Xi gradually figured out the key point.

Even with solar panels, large vehicles like motorhomes likely consume far more energy than smaller cars.

Furthermore, in the original world, the water tanks of motorhomes are usually divided into three categories: fresh water tanks, grey water tanks, and black water tanks.

Without a continuous and stable water supply and an effective channel for proper wastewater treatment, these so-called water tanks will become useless over time and cannot compare to her portable washroom.

Thinking about it this way, Xi Xi understood why China's ranking on the comfort list was not outstanding, and she felt much relieved.

After all, China's supply facilities for RVs are not yet fully developed, so it's not surprising that they are inferior in terms of initial comfort compared to countries that are keen on camping and have more mature supporting facilities.

When the original resources of those luxury RVs are exhausted and there are no more supplies, everyone will naturally end up in the same place.

Xi Xi nodded to herself, then found the newly added email address in the upper right corner of the screen.

When I opened my email, I found that in addition to the leaderboard prizes that had just been sent out, there was also a game update notification that I had missed this morning!

Xi Xi immediately opened the game update email and read it carefully before understanding the whole story.

It turns out that team members can apply to meet up at the "transfer station" even if they are on different servers. The prerequisite is that the team members must be located at the transfer station of their respective servers at the same time and submit the meeting up application together.

Doesn't this mean I'll have a chance to see my mom?

Xi Xi was immediately overjoyed. She then searched for information about the "transfer station," but to no avail.

Currently, all we know is that the transfer stations are located along the highway. As long as you head east in the direction of Dongli, you will definitely encounter a transfer station.

After carefully reading the entire announcement, Xi Xi finally felt relieved and received the reward email.

[Congratulations on winning 1st place on the mileage leaderboard! You have received 1 vehicle upgrade token.]

[Congratulations on ranking 12th on the Comfort Ranking! You've won 3 Energy Drinks!]
