Yu Cisheng woke up promptly at 5:30 a.m.
Use the skill: Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined.
[Successfully used. Day 7: Blessing]
Use the [Talent: Daily Check-in]
[Should I perform the 7th check-in?]
【yes】

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Universal Trash Can blueprint x1]
【Multi-purpose trash can: A trash can that can swallow everything, no trash bags needed, can be used 10 times a day.】
Manufacturing requires 50 iron, 30 copper, 30 wood, 50 rubber, and 50 plastic.
Use the skill: Money Can Move Mountains.
Congratulations to the player for obtaining 6 Highway Coins, with 0 uses remaining.
[Current interior temperature: 20℃, humidity: 25%; exterior temperature: 55℃, humidity: 15%]
Yu Cisheng simply created a multi-purpose trash can and placed it under the passenger seat. He also hung two humidifier bags on it. After a few days of use, it could be estimated that each humidifier bag could increase the humidity by about 10%.
While eating 100g of bread, I pondered:
"Since we have enough gasoline and the air conditioning can stay on, we don't need cooling patches and ice. We can use them to trade for supplies. It would be best if we could get blueprints in return."
With that in mind, I opened the trading marketplace.
[One cooling patch can be exchanged for 50 iron/copper/plastic/rubber/gasoline or 30 silver] ×50
[Exchange 4 ice cubes (30g each) for 50 pieces of iron/copper/plastic/rubber/gasoline or 30 pieces of silver] x50
[Buying all kinds of blueprints and highway tokens at high prices long-term. Private message me if interested.]
He then opened the chat channel and sent messages to Wu Xianchen, Dai Wenwen, and Fan Wei respectively.
"I have 10 cooling patches and 50 ice cubes available for trade."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cisheng decided to tell everyone today's weather in the chat channel. After all, people can still tolerate temperatures in the 40s, but once the temperature exceeds 50s and you're inside a car, it can really be unbearably hot.
[Current outside temperature: 55℃, humidity: 15%] Please take precautions against the heat.
[Current outside temperature: 55℃, humidity: 15%] Please take precautions against the heat.
[Current outside temperature: 55℃, humidity: 15%] Please take precautions against the heat.
They then put the trash from the finished bread into the trash can and continued along the road.
Unlike yesterday when there was only a thin layer of sand on the road, today the sand is much thicker. Cars can feel the tires crunching over the thick sand as they drive by.
Strangely, the sand seemed to drift in from nowhere, and the once-vast forests on both sides of the road gradually became obscured, replaced by a sky full of yellow sand that was faintly visible under the white mist.
"I wonder how far the desertification will go. It would be great if we had sand-proof tires," Yu Cisheng thought, frowning as he looked at the yellow sand swirling outside the car.
Perhaps due to the abundance of sand flying everywhere, the frequency of encountering resource boxes decreased. It took more than half an hour to find an orange resource box.
[Obtain 6 Beers]
"...What? Does the game want me to stop and enjoy life too?" Yu Cisheng looked at the beer in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little tempted. He suddenly wanted to have barbecue for dinner.
Then, until noon, a total of 9 red resource boxes, 4 orange resource boxes, and 1 yellow resource box were obtained. This was the fewest obtained after using the "Fortune" item. The resources obtained are as follows:
Gasoline x 80
BBQ seasoning x3
Coke x4
500ml mineral water x 4
BoXWeiXJ×1
Lemon x6
Wine glass set (6 types) ×1
Spicy strips x10
Humidifier bags × 10
20 heat packs
Cloth (1 meter) x 1
Beer x6
Hand warmer (one hour of charging lasts for three days) ×1
Disassembling yields 34 wood, 5 iron, and 1 copper.
"Hand warmers, heat packs...it looks like we might be facing extremely cold weather in the future."
Yu Cisheng opened the trading market and found that most of the listed items had already been traded. Even Dai Wenwen, Fan Wei, and Wu Xianchen had replied to her.
“I have a lot of mineral resources here, and I can give you 100 units of each. I also have a blueprint for making a compass, although I don’t know if I’ll be able to use it in the future,” Dai Wenwen replied.
“Of course…maybe you need a car air conditioner?” Yu Cisheng thought for a while and decided to tell Dai Wenwen that she had an air conditioner.
"Air conditioning?! Of course I need it, do you have one?" Dai Wenwen asked in surprise.
“I have the blueprints. Air conditioners are incredibly useful, and I’ve been hesitant to trade them before. But now I think I can’t be too selfish, though I still want to exchange them for some better stuff,” Yu Cisheng said honestly, and sent a screenshot of the air conditioner’s information.
[Basic Car Air Conditioning: Automatically integrates with the car's system after use. Maintains the temperature between 20°C and 25°C, with only one fan mode. Consumes 10 units of fuel per hour.]
“That’s normal. I have something good here that we can trade.” Dai Wenwen then sent over a screenshot.
[Basic Vehicle Repair Card: Automatically repairs one problem on your car after use; can only be used once.]
“Okay, let’s make the deal.” Yu Cisheng was immediately interested in the card the moment she saw it, after all, no one knows when a car might break down.
After the transaction with Dai Wenwen, they found Wu Xianchen's information.
"Of course we need them. Is there anyone who doesn't need cooling supplies? I have some antidiarrheal medicine and hemostatic bandages here. Would you like to trade?"
“Exchange, I need any medicine,” Yu Cisheng replied, and requested a trade. Wu Xianchen contacted and delivered 20 antidiarrheal pills and 20 hemostatic bandages.
Finally, Yu Cisheng opened the range of information.
“You might not be interested in other supplies, but I have a lot of food here. Can we trade for a week’s worth of three meals a day? Or we can trade the food directly.”
Yu Cisheng thought for a while and finally decided to believe Fan Wei. After all, he was a talented person and wouldn't lie for such a small amount of supplies.
"Okay. I'll send you the supplies first." Yu Cisheng handed over the cooling patches and ice cubes.
"Thank you for your trust. Consider this basic planting pot a deposit." Fan Wei looked at the supplies that were given to him directly and couldn't help but chuckle. It was surprising that someone would dare to give so many supplies to a complete stranger.
I had originally planned to trade some supplies for every meal I cooked, but now the other party has sent all the supplies. Looking at the four planters in the trunk, I can only reluctantly trade one.
[Basic Planting Pot: Suitable for planting all kinds of plants. Growth cycle is 5 days. Requires 300g of water daily. Each pot can hold three seeds.]
Looking at the planting pots in front of him, Yu Cisheng was incredibly excited, his innate farming genes instantly awakening. If he had enough planting pots and seeds, wouldn't he be able to have an unlimited supply of fruits and vegetables?
After a few minutes of excitement, I calmed down. After all, this kind of thing is definitely not easy to obtain. It is probably only possible for someone with the talent of "food is the first necessity of the people".
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Yu Cisheng then gave her another 50 ice cubes as a token of her gratitude.
"I cooked lunch a little late. What would you like to eat for dinner?" Wei Fan silently put away the 50 ice cubes.
"Is it okay to barbecue?" Yu Cisheng remembered the three portions of barbecue seasoning she had received that morning and gave them over.
"I don't have a barbecue grill here, but I'll see if I can get one this afternoon. If I do, I'll make one."
“Okay, any spicy dish is fine if you don’t have any,” Yu Cisheng replied.
After closing the chat, Yu Cisheng found the leftover peach pits from a previous meal and buried them in the planting pot, then poured in 300g of purified water from the water collector.
Planting successful, four days left until maturity.
Then he took out a bowl of Yanbian cold noodles and ate it. After finishing, he put the water from the water collector and the water purifier into the refrigerator.
The refrigerator only lasts two days on a single charge, and today is the last day. Although I already have enough ice and frozen water, I still hope to save some electricity if possible.
After packing up, Yu Cisheng continued on her way.
Four hours later, around six o'clock, Yu Cisheng had just returned to his car with a yellow resource box when he discovered that in just a few minutes, the sand had already covered a third of the tires.
"Looks like we can't open resource boxes on the highway anymore. We should collect them first and put them in our system inventory to open during rest periods. Otherwise, the car will get completely stuck in the sand."
After Yu Cisheng got into the car, the tires spun in place, making it impossible to drive normally. He had no choice but to try pressing the accelerator to its lowest setting.
"boom!"
The car shot off like an arrow, and Yu Cisheng quickly gripped the steering wheel and slowly released the accelerator. Even so, the car still wobbled and swayed a few times on the road.
"That was close! Luckily there were no cars on the road, otherwise it could have caused a chain reaction accident." Yu Cisheng breathed a sigh of relief after the car came to a stop.
It's true that people can be pushed to their limits. A week ago, if someone had said they could drive a car skillfully, she would never have believed it.
After driving for another two hours, until the sun had completely set at seven o'clock, Yu Cisheng parked the car on the side of the road.
I took out the resource boxes I hadn't had time to open and organized the newly acquired supplies. In total, I obtained 8 red resource boxes, 6 orange ones, and 2 yellow ones this afternoon. The supplies I collected are as follows:
180 gasoline
500ml mineral water x 4
Cooling patches x10
Tofu skewers (one pot)
100 bamboo skewers
Beef noodles x2
30 heat packs
Jelly (10 pieces per bag) x 3
500g of pine nuts x 4
500g x 3 macadamia nuts
Sunny Grapes 500g x 4
Giant X grapes 500g x 4
Yin Yang Hot Pot ×1
BBQ grill x1
“‘Fu’ truly lives up to its name. Whatever supplies you need, you can get them just by thinking about them.” Yu Cisheng quickly gave Wei Bu a barbecue grill and 50 bamboo skewers.
"I've got the barbecue grill. Let's have barbecue tonight."
“Okay, I originally had 30 iron skewers here, but bamboo skewers would be even better,” Fan Wei replied.
"I want 20 skewers of lamb, 20 skewers of beef, 5 skewers of fish balls, 10 skewers of potato slices, and 5 skewers of vegetable rolls. Just a little bit of the other things is fine."
After ordering, Yu Cisheng touched the corner of her mouth and found that no saliva was coming out, so she laughed silently.
While waiting for the barbecue to be ready, Yu Cisheng opened the chat channel.
"It's too hot. I need at least 2 liters of water a day to avoid dehydration. Where am I going to get so much water?"
"I feel dizzy and nauseous right now, I think I have heatstroke. Does anyone have any heatstroke medicine?"
"Someone sells them in the trading market, but they're quite expensive; one heatstroke pill costs the price of a 500ml bottle of mineral water."
"This is highway robbery! The price is way too high!"
"There's nothing we can do. He's the only one with surplus trading capacity. That's how it is in monopolistic industries, isn't it? Even if others get heatstroke medicine, they won't have enough for their own use."
"But Yu Cisheng is really ruthless when he sells ice cubes and cooling patches. He sells such precious summer supplies without hesitation."
"They must have better ones, like air conditioners."
"Is there really air conditioning? I've never heard of that before."
"She said this morning it's 55℃ today, but it'll be 60℃ tomorrow. So on the tenth day it'll be 70℃?"
"If it's 70℃, the perceived temperature is probably 80℃. It's stuffy inside the car and there's desertification outside. We're basically just waiting to die!"
Yu Cisheng frowned as he looked at the discussions in the chat channel, and began to think about whether he should manufacture more air conditioners, water purifiers, and water collectors.
This way, more people can survive, but it will expose that you have a lot of blueprints and supplies. If you are recognized in a service area, you may be robbed or something.
"Besides what you ordered, I also grilled some vegetables." Just then, the grill and grill were sent over.
"Okay, thank you." Yu Cisheng ate the barbecue and then took out a bottle of cola and a bottle of beer.
"Forget it, let's talk about the blueprints tomorrow." Avoiding the issue is shameful, but it's effective.
After finishing the barbecue, I lay down on the back seat to rest. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? It's crucial to conserve my energy.
Number of survivors: 73,918/100,000
