Day 8, 60℃
At 5:30 a.m. sharp, Yu Cisheng woke up.
On the eighth day, the "Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined" skill will bring misfortune again. It is still necessary to "sign in" and use "Money Can Move God" first to avoid the influence of bad luck.
[Should I perform the 9th check-in?]
【yes】
[Check-in successful, 0 check-ins remaining]
[Congratulations to the player who has won a seed gift pack x3]
[Seed Gift Pack: Each pack contains seeds of 10 different plant species]
Use the skill: Money Can Move Mountains.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 4 Highway Coins, with 0 uses remaining]
Use the skill: Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined.
[Use successful. Day 4: Calamity]
[Current interior temperature: 20℃, humidity: 20%; exterior temperature: 60℃, humidity: 10%]
Yu Cisheng carefully checked the three seed gift packs and found that, apart from rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes, which were included in every pack, the other six types of seeds were different. Each type of seed contained 10 seeds.
The first packet contained fruit seeds: grapes, peaches, cherries, strawberries, watermelons, and mangosteens.
The second package contained vegetable seeds: Chinese cabbage, bok choy, spinach, scallions, green beans, and cucumbers.
The third package contained mixed seeds: chili peppers, carrots, cotton, garlic, tomatoes, and soybeans.
Yu Cisheng sorted the seeds and put them into his system inventory. If he had more planting pots in the future, he could produce and sell his own food. With that in mind, he watered the planting pot with the peach with 300g of water.
Upon noticing the humidity inside the car, Yu Cisheng quickly took out two humidifier bags and hung them up. He then opened the chat channel to report on today's weather so everyone could prepare in advance.
[Current outside temperature: 60℃, humidity: 10%] Please be careful.
[Current outside temperature: 60℃, humidity: 10%] Please be careful.
[Current outside temperature: 60℃, humidity: 10%] Please be careful.
He then opened the private messages on the other end and found that he had already traded a bowl of millet porridge, six steamed buns, a tea egg, and 50g of pickled vegetables.
"Received, thank you."
After thinking it over, Yu Cisheng still felt that 60°C was beyond the limits of human beings, and that more air conditioners should be manufactured to help everyone.
So he found the blueprints for a basic car air conditioner and manufactured 20 of them in one go.
[Basic Car Air Conditioning: Automatically integrates with the car's system after use. Maintains the temperature between 20℃ and 25℃, with only one airflow mode. Consumes 10 units of fuel per hour.]
[Crafting requires 30 wood, 50 iron, 50 copper, 20 plastic, 30 rubber, and 30 silver]
The remaining mineral resources are roughly as follows:
Silver x274
1700 units of wood
Iron x 480
388 copper blocks
Plastic x883
Glass x 520
Rubber X675
They uploaded all of them to the trading marketplace at once, and even posted a screenshot of the basic car air conditioner information. They set it to require approval before trading could begin to prevent people from exchanging ordinary goods for it.
[Basic Car Air Conditioner, only items crafted from trade blueprints] ×10
[Basic Car Air Conditioner, Only Trades Special Items] ×10
The post caused a stir in the chat channel.
"Quick, check the trading market! They actually have air conditioning!"
"Damn it, even if I had it, I couldn't afford to replace it."
"Only exchanging blueprints for items made from blueprints and special items? That's too demanding."
"This person must have the blueprints for air conditioners. If he does, why can't he manufacture more to benefit everyone?"
"You can't be so selfish. Make more quickly and make it cheaper."
The chat channel has been completely misled by some people, with some even clamoring that it should be given away for free.
Yu Cisheng didn't even look at these messages. Instead, he sent an air conditioner trading link to Dai Wenwen, Fan Wei, Wu Xianchen, and other people he frequently contacted, as well as to anyone he knew who possessed talent.
After quickly finishing breakfast, I prepared to leave. As soon as I started the engine, I realized the car wouldn't move. When I opened the door, I discovered that half of the car was buried overnight.
Left with no other option, I got out of the car with a multi-purpose shovel to clear the sand under the tires and around the vehicle. Only the sand within half a meter of the car had accumulated overnight; the sand in other parts of the road was only half a tire deep.
Yu Cisheng had only scraped a few times when she felt a burning pain on her exposed skin. She quickly returned to her car to check. She found that in just a few minutes, her exposed skin had turned bright red, and in some places, it had even cracked and peeled.
They could only use a wound spray on the wound, and after a few minutes when the pain subsided, they applied a thick layer of sunscreen. Only then did they pick up a shovel, get out of the car, and continue clearing the road.
It took about an hour to clear the sand around the car. Back in the car, Yu Cisheng felt that her exposed skin was a little red again. She quickly applied sunscreen again.
"It looks like I'll have to reapply sunscreen every hour if I'm outside all the time. I have enough sunscreen for 12 applications, which will last for three days. Hopefully, if I only go down to get the resource box and go back to the car, the sun protection will last longer."
Then we set off. Shortly after starting our drive, we encountered a green resource bin and a camel.
This camel may have mutated; it is not only over two meters tall, but all four of its hooves are the size of basketballs.
Yu Cisheng felt that if he were kicked, he could break several of his ribs. But he was still a little reluctant to give up the green resource box.
"Daggers, machetes, and shields probably won't work. We still have 10 arrows, why don't we give it a try?" When I was a child, I learned archery and shooting from my father for a while, but I gave it up because it was tiring and painful.
Yu Cisheng stopped the car in the middle of the road, rolled down the window, took out a gun, and aimed it at the camel's head.
"Whoosh!" The crossbow, affected by the wind and sand, veered off course and struck the camel's hump.
"Ouch!" The camel howled in pain, then went berserk and began to ram into Yu Cisheng's car.
It seems the game has restrictions on wild animals; camels can't get close to the center of the road and can only keep crashing into the transparent wall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Cisheng aimed at the head again and fired four crossbow bolts in succession. In the end, two hit the head, one hit the body, and one fell to the ground.
The camel went even more berserk, recklessly crashing into the transparent wall, ignoring even the worsening of its head wound, its only thought being to kill the humans who were causing it bleeding and pain.
Yu Cisheng fired the remaining five crossbow bolts at the camel's head in one go. Perhaps his feel for the shot had returned, because he hit four of the five bolts.
At this moment, the camels resembled hedgehogs, with six arrows stuck in their heads, though some fell to the ground due to their struggles. A few minutes later, they slowly collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.
Congratulations to the player for hunting down the mutated camel!
[Receive 1 Highway Coin]
[Obtained 2000g of meat]
[Obtain camel hide x1 (2m)]
Camel hide: Due to the extreme temperature difference between day and night in the desert, the hide of a mutant camel can withstand both high and low temperatures, and can be used in temperatures ranging from -20℃ to 40℃.
Yu Cisheng waited a while until the game notification came before getting out of the car and putting the dropped supplies into his system inventory. He then picked up the used crossbow bolts, carried the green resource box back to the car.
[Crossbow: Used once, 80% wear. Repairing one bolt requires 10 iron and 20 wood.]
Yu Cisheng didn't repair it immediately. Dai Wenwen had mentioned that there was a civil engineer who had a talent for repairing and processing weapons, and he could ask him about it that night.
We continued our journey afterward. We didn't park the car on the side of the road until noon. In the morning, we collected a total of 6 red resource boxes, 4 orange resource boxes, 1 yellow resource box, and 1 green resource box. The total supplies collected are as follows:
180 gasoline
500ml bottles of mineral water
Cooling patches x10
20 heat packs
Iron x 90
Copper x 90
Silver x 60
Thick down jacket ×1
Basic Weapon Repair Card (Only applicable to weapons from yellow resource boxes and below)
After opening the green resource box
[Obtain Camel Bells x2]
[Camel Bell: After use, it can detect the location of another camel bell within a hundred meters.]
Disassembling yields 33 wood, 7 iron, 7 copper, and 2 silver.
"It's a bit like a locator." Yu Cisheng looked at the small bell in her hand and shook it gently, making a "ding-a-ling" sound.
The camel bells, with their crisp, melodious sound, also emitted a low, humming vibration, even vibrating at a low frequency. At the same time, another camel bell also emitted a humming vibration, echoing each other.
"If I can find Brother Xiu in the future, I can give him one," Yu Cisheng thought to herself.
At this moment, a message is sent from the range.
"It's so hot, I made cold noodles and mung bean jelly and sent them to you."
"I want to trade an air conditioner. I have a special item, but the desertification will end in three days. Would that be okay with you?"
Sand-resistant tires: After use, they can mitigate the effects of sand to a certain extent.
Yu Cisheng thought for a moment. Although the sand-proof tires could only be used for two and a half days, the game became more difficult as time went on, so it wasn't really a loss.
"Okay." He then agreed to the transaction, received the sand-proof tires, and clicked to use them.
[Successfully integrated with the heat-insulating tires]
"That's good. Otherwise, I would have to worry about what would happen if the sand-proof tires didn't insulate against the heat and burst."
Several other applications were subsequently approved.
The total resources obtained are: 1 basic planting pot, 1 wooden spear, and 2 generator rods.
I obtained the Lucky Statue from Lu Lu, Dai Wenwen's best friend, who has the talent of [predicting good and bad fortune]. It can be used for three days and doubles your luck value.
I obtained the [Sandproof Shield] from Qiao Feifan.
【Sand cover: Prevents sand erosion after use, and can be used for 24 hours】
Yu Cisheng put away the sand cover, intending to use it at night, since he never wanted to get up early in the morning again to dig a road out of the sand.
I obtained new blueprints from Wu Xianchen to manufacture 5 pills of [Anti-inflammatory Drug].
"Anti-inflammatory drugs are valuable items; in a crisis, a single pill can save a life."
Yu Cisheng quickly put the anti-inflammatory medicine into her system inventory.
Yu Cisheng sold seven basic car air conditioners this morning, but he wasn't in a hurry, as some people might not have seen them yet. The chat channel, however, was full of people cursing him.
Even so, I cannot lower the transaction price, otherwise it would be too unfair to the people who exchanged with me before.
However, Yu Cisheng was not someone who could completely ignore these people's lives, so he could only put some cooling patches, ice water made from water purified by water purifiers, and ice cubes on the trading market.
[Trade 50 Iron/Copper/Plastic/Rubber, 80 Wood, and 30 Silver with 1 Cooling Sticker] × 20
[Trade 3 ice blocks for 50 iron/copper/plastic/rubber, 80 wood, and 30 silver] × 100
[1 bottle of 500ml ice water for trading 150 iron/copper/plastic/rubber, 200 wood, and 100 silver] × 5
He then closed the chat channel and stopped paying attention to other people's comments, feeling that he had done more than enough.
After having cold noodles and ice jelly for lunch, we continued on our way. Of course, an hour later, the area around the car was covered in yellow sand again, so we had to apply sunscreen and get out to clean it up.
We set off in half an hour.
