I was alone and agitated for a minute.
Xia Ning was thinking that the newbie protection period wasn't really invincible. It could block the malicious gale attacks from treasure chests, and there would be no invisible walls to block it when the weather changed.
Feel hot when it's hot, feel cold when it's cold, feel rainy when it's rainy.
Xia Ning comforted herself that a tricycle was better than riding a donkey or a horse, when she saw her sister's densely packed historical information records.
The first message was posted the minute the sudden downpour started.
[Friends Channel]
Ji Li (09:06:55): "You didn't get wet in the rain, did you? Is the train carriage upgraded yet?"
Ji Li (09:08:01): "Where is everyone? Did they go to take shelter from the rain? Don't hide under the big tree, hide under the car. Your old car's chassis is much higher than mine."
Ji Li (09:09:11): "You didn't hide under the tree, did you? Someone got bitten by a snake. Did you upgrade your carriage or not?!"
Ji Li (09:10:23): "I'll give you the materials you need, so hurry up and upgrade the car."
Ji Li (09:12:37): "You brat, I'll count to three, and you'd better not reply!"
Ji Li (09:12:39): "Three!"
Ji Li (09:12:41): "Two!"
Ji Li (09:12:45): "If you get injured, buy a medkit immediately. Don't worry about survival points, you still have your sister!"
Ji Li (09:13:09): "It's alright now, remember to let me know."

As Xia Ning read her sister's message, a warm feeling welled up in her chest and brought tears to her eyes.
Back home, when the two sisters argued, Ji Li would always say, "You brat, you're dead meat." But after entering the survival game, the word "death" became a complete taboo.
She slowly exhaled, vigorously rubbed her cheeks, and then typed.
Xia Ning: "Squeak squeak squeak!"
Xia Ning: "I didn't get wet in the rain, I'm perfectly healthy. I was just held up by other things, so don't worry."
Ji Li seemed to have been waiting for her sister's message, and replied almost immediately.
Ji Li: "One!"
Ji Li: "I'll let you off the hook today. Is your carriage upgrade ready yet?"
Xia Ning felt a little disappointed but also relieved when her sister didn't press her for details. She really wanted to share, or rather, brag about the "birth of a shrewd businessman" with her sister, but she didn't know how to explain the origin of the rain gear without revealing her skills.
No more worries now.
Ji Li: "Where are you? Speak up!"
Xia Ning: "Yes, yes, I'm just missing one piece of metal to upgrade the carriage."
Ji Li: "I have some, what will you give me in exchange?"
Xia Ning: "Didn't you just say you'd give me anything I needed? →_→"
Ji Li: "No waiting after the deadline, even between sisters we must settle accounts clearly."
Xia Ning rummaged through her backpack, thought for a moment, and asked, "Would [two faded rags] work?"
It wasn't that Xia Ning wanted to dump junk at her older sister's place, but rather that her sister, a woman who almost turned into a crazy caveman, was really short of clothes, and quite obsessed with them. Didn't you see that after they recognized each other, the first item Ji Li requested to trade was [clothing x1]?
As expected, Ji Li, upon seeing this, immediately requested a transaction.
— Player "The Tragedy of Love" requests a trade.
— Exchange 1 scrap metal piece for 2 faded rags.
Do you agree?
Xia Ning nodded "Yes," and her carriage materials were ready.
— “Phantom Princess” lost [Faded Rags x2].
— “Phantom Princess” obtains [Scrap Iron Piece x1].
Xia Ning believes that one day they will become desensitized to shameful IDs.
Ji Li: "When you get cotton wool in the future, be sure to save it up. It's hot here, so we don't need blankets. I suspect the next phase might be a cold zone."
Xia Ning: "I understand. With my luck, I can't get any powerful equipment, but I do have a lot of these basic supplies."
Xia Ning had laid a trap in advance: even if her skills couldn't be hidden when extreme weather occurred in the future, she couldn't let her older sister freeze or starve to death in the survival game.
But thinking about these things now is just worrying unnecessarily. Let's focus on getting through this current phase first.
Ji Li: "I can see that. With your personality, if you can't eat and sleep well, you'll go berserk long ago."
Xia Ning: "╭(╯^╰)╮"
Ji Li: "Alright, that's enough chatting. Hurry up and finish loading the carriage. I'll continue opening boxes. If I get any equipment with good stats, I'll prioritize trading with you. There's a special price for unlucky players."
Xia Ning: "(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴"

Xia Ning closed the [Friends Channel] and eagerly opened her [Backpack]. Currently, all nine slots were filled with items:
[Tier 1 Carriage Construction Blueprint], [Scrap Iron Sheet x4], [Damp Wood x1], [Common Iron Sheet x1], [Common Wood x2], [Metal Fragments x2], [Vehicle Part x1], [Bleeding Bandage x1], [Spare Tire x1]
Despite the different qualities of the iron sheets, as Xia Ning had predicted, as long as the materials met the basic requirements, it would be fine.
When she selected the [Level 1 Carriage Construction Blueprint], two lines of yellow text appeared.
— Build a level 1 carriage? (Materials required: 5 iron plates)
--whether
Xia Ning rubbed her hands together, selected "Yes", and then the small icons of blueprints and metal pieces in her backpack flashed away, and three more empty spaces appeared in her backpack.
Xia Ning stared expectantly at the convertible back seat of the green, eco-friendly, retro classic car, wondering how this survival game upgraded vehicles. Would there be a special effect, or would it assemble automatically like magic?
result.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds have passed...
Nothing happened.
Xia Ning was shocked. Could a garbage system really have bugs?
A gentle breeze blew by, momentarily blinding Xia Ning. She rubbed her eyes and looked again; the carriages were already completed.
It appeared out of thin air, without a sound.
To be honest, I wasn't too surprised, and was even a little disappointed.
Four old, worn-out pieces of sheet metal became the four walls of the carriage. They were still very dilapidated, but they blended in seamlessly with the peeling paint of the rickshaw.
One of the sheet metal panels was split in the middle, with an extra bolt added, which served as the back door.
The only decent-looking piece of ordinary sheet metal became the top of the box, which Xia Ning usually couldn't see at all.
Looking at the car's rather familiar new design, Xia Ning felt that if she added a front fender, she could go deliver packages.
However, the delivery guys all drive electric tricycles, and the seats are much more comfortable than her hard triangular seat.
Great, Xia Ning's little goal has been updated.
Upgrade your human-powered tricycles to electric delivery vehicles!
For Xia Ning, shelter from the wind and rain in the carriage was secondary; the most important thing was whether it could add defenders.
Xia Ning hurriedly clicked on [Vehicle] to confirm—
【The Phantom Princess's Tricycle】
Defense value: 15 (New player protection period countdown: 28 hours)
Attack value: 0.1 (tip: Mental attacks are also considered attacks)
[Appearance rating: -7 (tip: There's no limit to how ugly it can get)]
[Points available: 0]
Xia Ning: "..."
The loneliness has been dried up.
The car is ugly, but it's become more powerful.
