Just as Xia Ning had the thought, she felt a drop of water fall onto the tip of her nose.
She muttered to herself, "No way, no way," and then quickly grabbed a raincoat from the supermarket and put it on.
In just a few seconds, the rain poured down.
The world was a vast expanse of white, and the excessively dense rain pelted my body, even causing a slight pain.
The rain and fog made the road ahead seem more dangerous, and Xia Ning felt short of breath, wondering if it was due to air pressure.
To prevent herself from dying suddenly in the survival game, Xia Ning decisively stopped the car and ran to sit in the carriage.
Unsurprisingly, the regional channels were all discussing the sudden downpour.
...
Zi Junli: "I ran under the leaves of a tree to avoid the rain, but I don't know what kind of bug bit me and I keep losing health! I didn't leave the road! Can't I even sit on the edge of the road?!"
Li Le: "Starting without a car is like a hellish start! Anyone have rain gear? I'll trade [Metal Shards] for it. I'm putting it on the trading post!"
Flowers bloom and fade: "Just bear with it, this kind of downpour comes quickly and goes quickly."
Li Le: "It's easy for you to talk when you're not in my shoes. If you're so tough, get off the vehicle and get soaked in the rain! Riding a donkey won't cost you any health points, but it won't keep you out of the rain either! What if I catch a cold? My newbie protection period will be over tomorrow."
Song Jinglun said, “Cars aren’t necessarily that good. Gasoline is so scarce that I’ve spent all my savings on gas. I’m living paycheck to paycheck.”
...
The rest of the content was just repetitive talk, so Xia Ning decided not to waste any more time and decisively opened the online store.
Xia Ning didn't plan to chat privately with others, but the online store allowed for anonymous transactions.
She pondered that if there were suitable resources, such as Li Le's [metal fragments], she could exchange them.
Rain gear is still quite valuable now, but it may not be as useful once everyone's vehicles are upgraded and can provide shelter from the wind and rain.
She kept one-third of it, just in case.
It was clear that the heavy rain disrupted everyone's rhythm, and many people were in such a panic that they didn't have time to think.
They have everything you can exchange for it.
Xia Ning carefully selected and obtained [Metal Fragment x2], [Vehicle Part x1], [Bleeding Bandage x1], and [Spare Tire x1].
There's nothing else noteworthy.
To prevent her backpack from overflowing, she specially moved her regular items to a portable convenience store. Actually, some items could also be put on the tricycle, but Xia Ning's legs couldn't bear any more weight.
Xia Ning sighed regretfully, "There are only a few suckers after all."
Some tried to exchange the metal sheet for a raincoat, but Xia Ning felt it wasn't worth it and didn't make the exchange.
Just fifteen minutes later, Xia Ning was incredibly grateful for her choice.
Because the sky cleared up and the rain stopped, rain gear was available in the store!
An umbrella provides 5 survival points, and a raincoat provides 5 survival points.
Although they're not cheap—a single bandage costs 8 survival points, and other items can only be obtained by opening chests.
The game seems to have been trying to make players suffer first in order to raise prices, which gave Xia Ning an opportunity.
Fortunately, she chose anonymous transactions through the online marketplace, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Xia Ning thought that if Ji Li knew, she would definitely roll her eyes and say, "Look at how pathetic you are."
That's right, she didn't actually gain much advantage.
But it's different.
Xia Ning looked at her fully charged backpack, clenched her fists, and felt her heart pounding. This time, it wasn't a feeling of unease.
She finally found a rhythm of her own in the brutal game of survival.
