Upgrade required materials: 0/1 engine (Let's upgrade it!)
After reading the information about the RV, Meng Qingyin was somewhat surprised.
The next upgrade will only require one engine?
Could it be...?
Will motorhomes eventually adopt a hybrid electric drive system?
Thinking of this, Meng Qingyin immediately went to the chat area to collect the engine.
Mengmeng: "Looking for engines. Players with engines can contact me."
Unfortunately, no player contacted her.
Meng Qingyin wasn't in a hurry. She still had 99 batteries, so she didn't need to worry about running out of energy.
It would be great to receive the engine, but there's no need to worry if you don't. Just wait patiently; perhaps she'll be able to drive it herself someday.
Meng Qingyin began to tour her RV.
After the RV was upgraded, she sat directly in the driver's seat.
The center console was to her right, and the pea seedlings were still growing there, though now they had grown five leaves.
Meng Qingyin got up from the driver's seat and looked back.
Behind the driver's seat is a solid wood table with two solid wood booths, which can seat four people at the same time. Next to the table is a window.
Opposite the solid wood table are, in order, the restroom, the sink, the car door, and the passenger side.
There was a storage space behind the table where Meng Qingyin's storage box and the gold box to be transported were placed.
At the very back of the RV is a solid wood bed board, the size of a single bed, but the bed board is empty, without any bedding.
Meng Qingyin is very satisfied with the RV.
From now on, I can sleep in the RV at night and no longer need to pitch a tent. I feel incredibly safe.
The only drawback is that there is no kitchen inside the RV, so if you want to cook, you have to go outside.
But this is a minor matter, since she can't cook many meals these days.
Meng Qingyin was very satisfied.
However, the RV is too empty now, so perhaps she should decorate it properly, since this will be her home in the future.
Meng Qingyin returned to the driver's seat and opened the trading platform to start shopping.
First, there were household items like mattresses, sheets, pillows, and blankets. Meng Qingyin searched them one by one and found that, except for mattresses, everything else could be exchanged for food.
She traded one compressed biscuit and one bottle of mineral water for a quilt, a sheet, and a pillow.
The bed board was too hard, so Meng Qingyin first laid out the quilt and then the bed sheet. She sat on it to try it out. Although it wasn't as soft as a mattress, it wasn't too uncomfortable either.
She took out a blanket from the storage box, put the pillows away, and the bed was ready.
Then, she neatly arranged the previously opened mouthwash cups, toothpaste, and toothbrushes on the sink.
Just as I finished getting ready, Little Ai the elf notified me: "Master, we've reached the intersection!"
Meng Qingyin returned to the driver's seat to check the map, "Take the leftmost road."
[Yes, Master.]
The RV drove onto the leftmost dirt road.
...
One afternoon, Meng Qingyin was in charge of looking at the map and directing the little elf. By five o'clock, they were still 300 kilometers away from Lijia Village.
For dinner, Meng Qingyin ate a simple coconut toast and then opened a can of fruit and ate it.
This can of peaches is crisp and sweet, and the juice is so sweet it's almost cloying. After eating them, Meng Qingyin drank half a bottle of mineral water to dilute the sweetness.
At six o'clock sharp, it got completely dark.
The RV continued driving on the highway with its headlights on.
Xiao Ai the elf warned of danger outside the RV, and Meng Qingyin knew it must be the Night Demon.
But as long as she stays in the RV, the Night Demon won't attack her.
Fearing that things might go wrong if she waited too long, Meng Qingyin decided to travel there that night.
She could only feel at ease after handing the goods over to Li Tieniu; otherwise, she would always worry about what might happen.
So, Meng Qingyin didn't stop to rest that night, thankfully she didn't have to drive herself.
She instructed Little Elf to wake her up at every intersection, look at the map, and then go back to sleep.
I don't know how many times we went through that night, but by six o'clock the next day, we were less than 50 kilometers away from Lijia Village.
At the speed of the RV, it will take less than an hour to reach Lijia Village.
Meng Qingyin ate a few bites of breakfast quickly, then opened the "Escort Channel".
Escort No. 987: "There are only a few hours left in the mission, and we are still halfway to the destination. It seems that I will not be able to complete the mission."
Bodyguard No. 4290: "I only slept for four hours last night, and then I rode my bicycle in the cold wind. Now I feel dizzy and lightheaded, like I'm about to catch a cold."
Escort No. 15380: "You dare to accept missions using bicycles as your vehicles? Isn't this just a waste of effort?"
Escort No. 30186: "There's nothing we can do. We had no information before accepting the mission, so we had to take a gamble."
Escort No. 28: "I didn't sleep at all last night. I rode my motorcycle all night. I'm still 150 kilometers away from my destination. I don't know if I can make it in time."
Bodyguard No. 7290: "Didn't sleep all night? You guys are really pushing your limits!"
Escort No. 209: "What can we do if we don't fight? Failure on the mission will result in the loss of supplies."
Escort No. 41975: "Consider this a lesson learned. I will never participate in such vague events again!"
"..."
Meng Qingyin stood up and stretched. The landmark of Lijia Village could already be seen on the map.
However, Lijia Village is not right next to Highway 503, but is some distance away, which Meng Qingyin estimates to be about 1 kilometer.
I don't know if RVs can be driven into the village.
If she couldn't drive in, she would have to get out of the car and walk to find Li Tieniu.
The RV soon arrived at the intersection of Highway 503 and Lijiacun Road. Meng Qingyin got out of the vehicle and looked around. The road leading to Lijiacun was very narrow, and the RV could not pass.
Meng Qingyin had no choice but to go back to the car, put the gold box into her system inventory, lock the car, and head towards Lijia Village.
Just in case, she also brought the stun gun.
After walking along the path for about ten minutes, she arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village.
The closer Meng Qingyin got to Lijia Village, the more nervous she became.
Her journey has been too smooth; I have a feeling something is about to happen.
Several elderly people were sitting together chatting at the village entrance. When they saw a stranger, they all looked at Meng Qingyin.
Despite the many scrutinizing gazes, Meng Qingyin stepped forward and asked, "Hello, I'm looking for Li Tieniu. Could you tell me how to get to his house?"
Upon hearing this, an old woman gave a strange look: "What do you want with Tie Niu?"
Seeing her changing expression, Meng Qingyin's heart tightened. "I came to deliver something to him."
Is something really going to happen?
