The speed of a Level 4 car is increased to 80 kilometers per hour. It consumes 32 units of fuel at full speed for one hour. Add in the air conditioner, refrigerator and thermostat, and the total fuel consumption is 38 units per hour.
Yan Yu opened a lot of treasure chests, but currently only had 160 units of gasoline, which would be gone if he used it casually.
It seems that upgrading the car to a higher and faster level is not necessarily better. It would be terrible if the car breaks down on the road due to insufficient gas.
If she gets another car upgrade card today, she'll have to use it slowly. At least until she has 300+ idle gasoline, she won't upgrade the car to level 5 again.
Moreover, the situation at night is unknown. In case she needs to move on or cannot find the new treasure chest, she also needs to save some gasoline for emergency.
Yan Yu got out of the car and searched for the treasure chest briefly. When she didn't see it, she immediately got back into the car and continued driving forward. This time, after driving another 5 kilometers, she got out of the car again to look for the treasure chest.
This time, he did not return empty-handed, but got a bronze treasure chest.
In the next few dozen kilometers, Yan Yu got off the car repeatedly to explore, and then he got a very bad news, that is, the frequency of treasure chests appeared decreased, and the rate of silver treasure chests appeared also decreased a lot.
In the past, she could get three treasure chests every 10 kilometers or so, either two bronze and one silver, or one bronze and two silver.
Now the car has driven nearly 40 kilometers, and she has only obtained four bronze and one silver treasure chests in total. The only silver treasure chest was obtained on the highway.
Yan Yu had a hunch that until nightfall, only a small number of bronze treasure chests would be dropped outside the highway.
Therefore, after figuring out the pattern, she simply stopped the car and turned on the newly upgraded radio of the Level 4 car, listening while driving at full speed.
At the same time, the mechanical players who were surrounded by the mutant mosquito swarm watched time pass by little by little until the effect of the insect repellent spray was about to run out, and they almost fell into complete despair.
He only has one bottle of insect repellent spray, and the insect repellent spray can only repel the mutant mosquitoes for two hours. Now, there are less than 10 seconds left and he is dead!
He had previously used his only rescue card to send a call for help to his car radio, but only car owners with a Level 4 or higher status could receive a rescue mission.
Up to now, only three people have upgraded their cars to level 4, two of whom explicitly refused to help, and there has been no news from the last one.
That's right, when faced with calls for help from unknown strangers, most players will choose to stand by and watch, especially when facing a large group of wild monsters with such strong attack power, players will of course prioritize their own safety.
In addition, after entering the dungeon, everyone is a competitor to each other. Why risk saving someone who will compete with you for survival?
This is a waste of time.
The mechanical player watched the countdown for the insect repellent spray reach zero, and the light in his eyes completely dimmed.
It's over, he's really finished this time...
The Mechanical player gave a bitter laugh and muttered to himself, "Jieyou, you're right. I shouldn't have insisted on entering the dungeon in the first place. I shouldn't have coveted those dungeon rewards. Sigh."
"I hope that for the sake of our long-standing friendship, you can help me take good care of Xiaoling after I die. She may be the last hope of our family..."
The car rolled over, interrupting the mechanical player's last words to the air.
The mutant mosquitoes were working together to push his car off the road, and they were very persistent. Seeing that the roof of the car was already stuck on the curb, they only needed one last push and the car would be completely flipped off the road.
The mechanical player closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, the old radio suddenly flashed a red light, and a pleasant female voice came from it.
"Hello? Is the person who sent the call for help still there?"
The mechanical player suddenly opened his eyes wide with an extremely excited expression. He jerked his body up and his head hit the roof of the car with a bang. He almost pushed the car off the road and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Unable to steady himself in time, the mechanical player hurriedly said in the violent shaking of the car: "Boss, I'm here, I'm here!"
Anyone who can upgrade their car to level 4 on the first day of the dungeon is definitely considered to be extremely powerful.
"Please save me! There are mutant mosquitoes everywhere outside my car, seventeen or eighteen of them, and my car is about to be overturned into the desert by them!" The mechanical player quickly reported the situation on his side, hoping that rescue would come quickly.
Hearing that the other party had silver...ah, a swarm of mutant mosquitoes, Yan Yu blinked twice quickly: "I can help you, but what can you offer in return?"
She has no interest in working for free, and she is not a Mary Sue. Of course, she has to be paid for her work.
"I, I'm from the Mechanical Clan. If you save me, I can help you rebuild and upgrade your car. Not only will it reduce fuel consumption by half, but it will also increase its defense by 2-3 points!"
"Also, I'll give you everything I unboxed earlier, okay?"
Perhaps fearing that Yan Yu would go back on his word, the Mechanical Clan players almost couldn't wait to lay out all their chips.
"Mechanical Tribe?" Yan Yu recalled. The Mechanical Tribe was one of the ten major factions in the Central City, so they must know a lot of information. "Okay, I agree to your proposed reward. One more thing: all the items dropped by the mutant mosquitoes you kill will belong to me."
In fact, Yan Yu was very interested in the skills he mentioned about reducing fuel consumption and enhancing the car's defense value, but what he was more interested in was the silver treasure chest that dropped after killing the mutant mosquito swarm.
"I agree, I agree!"
"Okay, wait."
After saying that, Yan Yu looked up at a translucent floating panel with the words "Do you want to go to the rescue road?" and clicked the "OK" button without hesitation.
The next second, the scene before his eyes went dark and then bright, and Yan Yu and his car appeared on a brand new road. The target car had been half lifted up by the mutant mosquito swarm. With a little more force, it would immediately roll off the road.
Although we don’t know the meaning of the actions of this group of mutant mosquitoes, it is definitely not a good thing for players.
Yan Yu quickly sprayed himself with another bottle of insect repellent spray, then picked up the mace and got out of the car. Any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to the silver treasure chest.
She was agile and rushed into the mutant mosquitoes before they could react. She attacked them and broke the wings of four mutant mosquitoes in one breath, making it impossible for them to fly.
Having lost the ability to fly, he naturally couldn't escape and could only let her beat him to death.
This time, Yan Yu did not use her hands or gun in advance, worried that they would be scared away by the gunshots like the swarm of mutant mosquitoes she had encountered before.
Yan Yu's right hand attacked fiercely, wielding the mace with ease. At the same time, she threw the two bottles of insect repellent spray in her left hand to the mechanical player: "Catch them, and spray your own car quickly."
Upon seeing this, the mechanical player quickly stretched out his two spare mechanical arms to catch the insect repellent spray, pulled the ring, sprayed himself first, then opened the car door and sprayed the body of the car.
The mutant mosquitoes smelled the disgusting smell of the insect repellent spray and immediately retreated to the air more than two meters away from them. They still refused to disperse and kept staring at the two of them with cold malice in their compound eyes.
Yan Yu glanced thoughtfully at the metal arm of the mechanical player, then killed the mutant mosquitoes with broken wings one by one. A system prompt in her ear made her happy:
[Congratulations on killing a level 1 mutant mosquito, reward: 1 silver treasure chest]
[Congratulations on killing a level 1 mutant mosquito, reward: 1 silver treasure chest]
…
The beautiful mechanical sound rang out five times in a row and then stopped, and five silver treasure chests appeared on the ground.
The moment the mechanical player saw the silver treasure chest, his pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect that he would get a silver treasure chest as a reward for killing the mutant mosquito!
Unfortunately, these silver treasure chests have nothing to do with him. He had promised Yan Yu in advance, so he couldn't be so ungrateful as to rob them.
And the most important point is that he is no match for the boss at all! QAQ
"You, come and help me." Yan Yu did not pick up the treasure chest on the ground, but stared at the swarm of mutant mosquitoes in the air, jumped high, and shot down another mutant mosquito.
Seeing this, the mutant mosquito swarm had to take off again to avoid Yan Yu's attack range.
The mechanical player ran forward excitedly, "Boss, what are your orders? You gave me this life, and I'll definitely hit you wherever you tell me to!"
"Use your robotic arm to hook down as many mutant mosquitoes as possible. I'll finish killing them."
They were too high from the ground for Yan Yu to reach.
Upon hearing this, the Mechanical player's face was filled with worry: "But, but, their mouthparts can corrode my mechanical arms."
Yan Yu: "Insect repellent spray has a certain inhibitory effect on them. Didn't you just spray it on yourself? It shouldn't be a problem."
"Okay, I'll try."
The mechanical player swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva, and then with two "whoosh" sounds, two mechanical arms ejected from his back, ready to grab the mutant mosquitoes' feet and pull them back to the ground.
The two robotic arms carefully avoided the mutant mosquito's mouthparts, obviously still having some concerns in their hearts.
However, his concerns did not come true. It was not that the mutant mosquitoes had no appetite for the insect repellent spray, but that his speed in catching them was far inferior to their speed in dodging.
The mutant mosquitoes have hundreds of pairs of compound eyes and extremely developed vision. If your movement speed is not half of Yan Yu's, it is impossible to catch them.
Mechanical player: ...
Yan Yu: ...
Yan Yu just casually threw out his mace and shot down a mutant mosquito, but the mechanical player tried several times in a row, but let alone catching the mutant mosquito, his mechanical arm didn't even touch the edge of it.
Well, compared to Yan Yu, the mechanical player felt like a piece of crap. He tried to save his dignity: "My main specialty is not fighting!"
"Then there's nothing we can do." Yan Yu killed the mutant mosquito expressionlessly, and then took out his gun.
Her Maoser C96 rifle was loaded with 10 bullets, and she had just killed 10 of the mutant mosquitoes in the air, so she could start shooting.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The mutated mosquitoes fell from the sky one by one, and when they landed on the ground, they turned into silver treasure chests, which was as spectacular as raining silver bars.
A one-way massacre was going on here, and over there, in another level 4 car, two players were chatting while opening boxes.
"Boss, there are several mutant mosquitoes following our car. Why don't we kill them all? Each mutant mosquito is like a silver treasure chest. It can open a lot of supplies!"
"Idiot, in this dungeon, you absolutely cannot kill more than 20 mutant mosquitoes. Once you exceed that number, a particularly disgusting debuff will be applied, and the remaining mutant mosquitoes will also mutate and become three or four times stronger! By then, even with the protection of a level 4 car, you'll be seriously injured!"
