The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the atmosphere. The heat distorted the scenery in front of us, and sand dunes slid past the car window.
Xia Ning dared not be arrogant anymore; she just wanted to get the sun protection coating and heat-resistant tires out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she's really afraid the car will explode from the sun one day.
She had initially thought it was impossible, but now she dared not overestimate the integrity of the dog's scheme.
With the navigation system's guidance, Xia Ning no longer had to dawdle or look around while driving; she headed straight for the first treasure chest location.
The familiar wooden box, the familiar words.
[An ordinary white treasure chest, but for someone as unlucky as you, it might be a stroke of good luck.]
Xia Ning, expressionless, shot an arrow at the scorpion beside the box.
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has defeated [Desert Scorpion] x1
—Phantom Princess obtains [Poisonous Scorpion Tail x1]
—Phantom Princess gains 1 survival point
Xia Ning: Give me a Desert Eagle, you know!
She pushed up her sunglasses, which had slipped off her nose due to sweat, and felt incredibly regretful. Birds were rare in the desert, and the days of harvesting feathers every day were probably gone forever.
Xia Ning opened the treasure chest and obtained [Metal Fragment x3].
Xia Ning was completely confused. Was this a white treasure chest?
Then she quickly realized that water was the most important thing in the desert!
Mineral water will probably have to be placed in a high-level treasure chest.
For Xia Ning, who doesn't lack water, white immediately becomes high-end!
What is the principle of conservation of character?
This is the conservation of character.
What is poison to one is honey to another.
Happy!
Oops, I laughed too loudly and I feel a little dizzy.
Xia Ning quickly got into the car, put ice cubes on her face, and opened a glass of iced cola.
The soft sand dunes by the roadside were blown away, and the yellow sand flying everywhere was like a gauze curtain fluttering in the air.
In the distance, a few scattered patches of green could be seen, lying listlessly on the ground. Xia Ning glanced at the mini-map and saw that the green and red colors were basically overlapping.
Just as Xia Ning stepped on the gas and was about to head towards the second treasure chest, the sensors in the car suddenly flashed a dangerous red light.
Xia Ning raised her crossbow without hesitation.
Then, with a snap, a handprint appeared on the car window.
Xia Ning: !!!
I've never heard of desert survival being combined with working on a horror movie set!
Without any warning, Xia Ning almost suffered her first mental breakdown since transmigrating.
Then, she saw a withered, wrinkled face appear behind her palm.
Xia Ning couldn't quite hear what the other person was saying through the car window, but the dark-skinned, thin old woman was talking and gesturing, holding a broken bowl in her other hand.
They were clearly asking for water.
Knowing who the enemy was, Xia Ning's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down. She glanced at the red dot that was slowly appearing on the minimap and thought to herself that she was glad she hadn't replaced one of the [Hazard Sensor] or [Car Navigation System] because of them. It seemed that both items had very obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The hazard sensor needs no further explanation.
The car navigation system will only display monsters in fixed areas; randomly spawned monsters will not be shown on the map.
Putting aside the fact that she appeared out of nowhere, the fact that she would trigger the [Danger Sensor] would mean that this old woman, who looks like she could faint at any moment, must be a humanoid monster of level 2 or higher.
Xia Ning is only safe in the car.
Without giving any response, she stepped on the gas and drove straight ahead.
The humanoid monster clearly hadn't expected that this player had no compassion or fighting spirit whatsoever, and simply ignored it. It paused for a moment, then chased after the player at a speed that a human could never achieve.
Xia Ning glanced at the old woman running wildly in the rearview mirror and blurted out, "Holy crap!"
I won't watch the Olympics without you!
This desert script has gone from a horror movie set to a Resident Evil disaster.
The car had been driving for ten minutes when the other party was still chasing after it, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
It seems that the humanoid monster doesn't have a setting where it automatically gives up once it leaves the area.
Xia Ning estimated the distance between the two, tentatively rolled down the car window, quickly threw out a [poisonous snake gall], and then rolled the window back up.
Even if you're begging for food, snake gallbladders are still food.
Since this trick works on mimics, it should work on humanoid monsters too.
It proved to be effective.
The monster does have some intelligence, but not much.
It saw a snake gallbladder on the road, picked it up without saying a word, stuffed it into its mouth, and then continued chasing.
Xia Ning: ...
This is like a biohazard.
Xia Ning started using a kite-flying tactic, slowly adding debuffs to it.
After losing [3 poisonous snake gallbladders] and [3 poisonous frog meats], Xia Ning finally heard the horn signaling the end of the battle.
--bite!
—Congratulations, player Phantom Princess has defeated the Level 2 Granny Monster!
—Phantom Princess gains 20 survival points
—[Level 2 Granny Monster] drops [Sunscreen Coating x1]
Xia Ning: ?(? ? ??)
Sunscreen coating, great stuff!
Your mother-in-law is mad; you died a worthy death.
Without saying a word, Xia Ning applied the sunscreen coating to the roof of the car.
I checked the thermometer, and it's great, the temperature has dropped to 40 degrees Celsius.
Xia Ning: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Not good at all, okay!
She put the solar charging panel that was originally placed on the roof of the car into her storage space.
There was no way around it; the desert sun was strong, and the sandstorms were fierce. In no time, the charging pad was covered in a layer of sand.
Not only is it less efficient than expected, but it is also easily damaged.
Xia Ning thought, no wonder she had heard of wind power and hydropower, but not much about desert solar power generation; it was too difficult to implement.
