◎First Release◎
A Level 1 car only needs 1 unit of gasoline for every 10 kilometers, while a Level 2 car needs 2 units of gasoline. If the air conditioner is turned on, it consumes 2 units of gasoline per hour.
The speed of a Level 2 car is much higher than that of a Level 1 car, and it takes about half an hour to travel 10 kilometers.
In other words, if you drive with the air conditioner on, your fuel consumption will increase to 3 units of gasoline per 10 kilometers (6 units of gasoline per hour), which is no different from drinking gasoline.
The maximum fuel capacity for a Level 1 vehicle is 5 units, and for a Level 2 vehicle it is 10 units.
Yan Yu opened several treasure chests. Excluding what she had used, she only had 5 units of gasoline left. In other words, this gasoline could only support her to advance for more than ten kilometers at most. In these hot days, it would be fatal if she did not turn on the air conditioner.
"We still have to find a way to get more gasoline."
Yan Yu turned on the air conditioner, put her face close to the air outlet, took a deep breath of cool air, and looked extremely comfortable.
After the high temperature in the car had completely cooled down, she picked up a can of coconut milk qingbuliang from the passenger seat and ate it. After eating the qingbuliang, she ate a can of canned beef and then drank a bottle of iced green plum oolong tea to quench her thirst.
Yan Yu clearly noticed that the speed of time flow in this copy was different from that in the real world. It was very likely that a day was much longer than 30 hours, and her hunger and thirst were also much faster than usual. This must be related to the copy settings.
Now look at her data panel:
Player: Yan Yu
Satiety: 7/10
Thirst: 4/10
Spirit value: 9/10
Car compatibility: 17
Points: 7
Although he didn't know what the points were used for yet, Yan Yu knew very well that the more points, the better.
After eating and drinking, Yan Yu put on his sun-protective clothing, carried his mace and continued to search for treasure chests outside the highway.
This time she was lucky, she found a bronze treasure chest and a silver treasure chest, and also snatched an axe from the treasure-guarding monster of the silver treasure chest.
[Ding, congratulations on winning 2 units' gas card*1, braised pork buns*2, blueberry mousse cake*1, 350ml latte*1]
[Ding, congratulations on winning 5-unit gas card*1, car sunscreen film*5, watch*1, 500ml mineral water*3, 300g pickled pepper chicken feet*2, thermal pad*3, insect repellent spray*2, points +5]
Warming patch: can be applied to any part of the body and will provide continuous heat for 2 hours.
Insect repellent spray: It emits a slightly pungent smell after spraying and can keep insects away for 2 hours.
Along the way, the output rate of treasure chests outside the road was obviously much higher than that on the road, which further strengthened Yan Yu's idea of getting off the car to collect treasure chests.
It took about half an hour to collect the bronze and silver treasure chests, which caused her satiety to drop by one level and her thirst to increase by two levels.
Back at the car, Yan Yu quickly applied the sunscreen film, then slumped into the car, quickly drank a bottle of mineral water, and slumped in the seat. "If I hadn't had sunglasses and a sun-protective jacket, I would have gotten sunburned in 50-degree heat. But there's no medicine in the treasure chest to treat sunburn. I don't know what trouble will happen later in the dungeon, but if I let myself get hurt, there will definitely be serious side effects."
"Those players who didn't get sun-protective clothing, sun hats, sunglasses, sunburn cream, or car air-conditioning systems are going to be in trouble." Yan Yu sighed and shook his head.
Her guess was correct. At this moment, many players were already in dire straits.
"Wow, is there anyone here? Please save me!" A fishman with fish gills on his face broke down and cried while sitting in a smoking Level 1 car.
The car had not been upgraded, and naturally there was no air conditioning system. There was a large empty space in the front window, and the hot light shone directly on the body of the fishman player, with a faint aroma of roasted fish emanating from it.
Due to the extremely high surface temperature of the asphalt road, all four wheels of the car burst and could no longer move forward.
This kind of weather and environment naturally restrains aquatic players such as murlocs, mermaids, and mermen. This murloc didn't dare to get out of the car to explore the desert, so he only found three bronze treasure chests on the road along the way, and opened a total of 6 units of gasoline, 1 car roof rack, 4 pieces of car glass, and a few bottles of mineral water and some food.
The car could not block the damage of ultraviolet rays, and there was no air conditioning. All the exposed skin of the fishman player was sunburned, large pieces of scales fell off, and countless blisters of various sizes appeared underneath. After the blisters burst, the skin became red, swollen and ulcerated, and he also gained a negative status of being injured.
Negative status (severe sunburn): Thirst +3 per hour, Spirit -3
Due to the high temperature and severe debuff, the murloc player soon fell into a state of dehydration. After a few minutes, he was almost dried up like a salted fish on the seat and was completely dead.
At the same time, on another road, a male player from the Shanhuang tribe was walking with difficulty in the desert. He had two bottles of mineral water hanging on his elbow spurs to replenish his water at any time, and was searching everywhere for traces of a treasure chest.
He only found two bronze treasure chests on the road. Although he was lucky enough to turn on the air conditioning system, the car was leaking air on all sides, making it as if the air conditioning was not on.
Moreover, air conditioning consumes a lot of fuel, and he only got 3 units of gasoline from the treasure chest. If he didn't have 4 units of gasoline at the beginning, the car probably wouldn't be able to drive this far.
Unfortunately, no matter how carefully he calculated his budget, the fuel tank was now empty, and he had to get out of the car and look for the treasure chest elsewhere.
A male player from the Shanhuang tribe had previously obtained a sunscreen mask, which covered his face tightly, but his exposed arms were directly sunburned and had many blisters. The blisters were full of light yellow pus, which looked extremely disgusting.
He endured the pain and itching on his body, not daring to scratch the blisters for fear of infection, so he had to grit his teeth and continue deeper into the desert.
After a lot of effort, he saw a treasure chest reflecting brilliant golden light, but because he didn't pay attention to the negative state of severe sunburn, he was killed by the treasure-guarding monster in a few moves, and immediately turned into a sky full of mosaic light spots and disappeared on the spot.
There are many players who die directly or indirectly due to serious debuffs.
On the contrary, at least one-tenth of the players have made sufficient preparations and are doing very well.
A short-haired woman wearing protective clothing and armed with a gun, followed by a muscular man carrying a long sword, and under their feet was a treasure-guarding monster that was injured and dying.
The short-haired woman stepped hard on the treasure-guarding monster's head and said, "Third brother, dig out its eyes and beast core. We can sell them after we get out of the dungeon."
"Yes." The man raised a 2-meter-long knife, and the tip of the knife flexibly inserted into the eye socket of the treasure-guarding monster. He gently lifted it up and picked out its only eye. The red crystal-like eye instantly fell into the box that had been prepared long ago.
A few seconds later, the red crystal eyeball welcomed another red crystal heart.
A closer look revealed that there were many odd and endowed biological parts in the wooden brown box.
The man put away his knife and weighed the box twice. "Sister Si, these little things together should sell for at least five or six hundred white crystals, right? Today is only the first day. If we work hard over the next two days, we should be able to make at least two or three thousand white crystals."
They live in the central urban area, where the consumption level is very high. Ordinary people can earn at most 3,000 white crystals a month, but they can earn that much just by entering a dungeon. In addition to the white crystals, they can also get dungeon rewards. In any case, they are better than those cowards who dare not enter the dungeon.
There is a day of advent every ten days in the floating world. After dark, various copies appear like ghosts, and then they capture living people indiscriminately. Only a very small number of people can pass through the copy and come out alive, and the rest will all become nutrients for the copy.
Most ordinary people would hide themselves after sunset on the day of Advent and would not dare to go out. If they were lucky, they might not have to go into the dungeon for the rest of their lives.
Of course, there are also many people who will venture into the dungeon for profit. These people are collectively called explorers.
Explorers can work alone or in teams to enter dungeons. There are many explorer organizations in the central city and the new city, and there is even an explorer general guild where you can receive and send tasks, communicate, sell/purchase various materials, equipment, dungeon information, etc.
In recent years, the Explorers' Guild has been developing rapidly, and its influence has sometimes even surpassed that of some small and medium-sized families and races, making many people wary.
The short-haired woman and the long-sword man belonged to a small expedition team with a total of seven members. After using special equipment to find out the name of the copy, they brought a treasure compass with them specifically to find treasure chests.
The treasure compass is on the short-haired woman. Currently, she has only reunited with the man with the long sword, and the other five members cannot be contacted for the time being.
The short-haired woman shot the treasure-guarding monster to death. She slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe the handle of her gun and glanced at the man. "Don't be so careless. Remember, the main purpose of our trip is to compete for the championship of the dungeon competition and get the championship reward!"
They bought guides for the Highway Survival dungeon from the Explorers Guild.
Although each road survival dungeon has some differences, the setting routines for the difficulty levels are basically similar.
There are two types of highway survival dungeons, S-level and SS-level. It is not clear which one they entered, but what is certain is that the reward for clearing the S-level dungeon will be two S-level resources. The champion is said to be able to get SS-level equipment and a marrow cleansing pill.
The reward for completing an SS-level copy is two SS-level resources. The champion not only gets triple the resource reward, but can also choose any SSS-level item, equipment/blueprint/medicine... anything!
Just for these rewards, the short-haired girl knew that many explorer organizations had participated, and even some families and races had sent some elite children in for training.
It is conceivable that competition will be very fierce in the future.
The seven of them must gather as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, the short-haired woman felt a growing sense of urgency. "Third Brother, let's go. The treasure compass shows there are no treasure chests within 10 kilometers. Even if there are any, they're just junk bronze treasure chests. There's no need to pick them up."
The treasure compass in her hand was very similar to the compass in the real world, except that it was a little bigger. There was a pink bug the size of a grain of rice coiled on the needle, spitting out two mouthfuls of almost transparent saliva at a place about 4 kilometers away from them, where the bronze treasure chest was located.
After reuniting, the two had already merged the cars, and just opened a car upgrade card from the silver treasure chest, which would immediately upgrade the car to level 3.
If Yan Yu could see, he would find that among the 1,000 players pulled into the copy, 22 had upgraded their cars to level 3, and more than 170 had upgraded them to level 2.
And this number continues to rise.
