Chapter 40 Upgrading the RV
Meng Qingyin shook her head, no longer complaining about 007 in her mind.
We've already accepted the mission, so let's hurry to Lijia Village.
She glanced back and saw a glittering gold box in the back seat of the car.
Is this the cargo she's transporting?
This gold box looks extraordinary; I wonder what's inside.
Meng Qingyin suppressed her curiosity and glanced at the map.
The map also changed accordingly.
Five roads meander in different directions, eventually converging at an intersection.
Ahead at the intersection, there are five more winding highways.
You can't see anything further down because it's beyond the maximum area of the map.
However, this was already enough to surprise Meng Qingyin.
Because she can directly see which road is the shortest!
Meng Qingyin looked closely and found that the closest road was a gravel road, while the seemingly flat asphalt road was actually winding and almost twice as far.
If you don't have a map and choose the asphalt road, it will take a lot of time.
"Little Elf, walk on the pebble path, as fast as you can," Meng Qingyin said.
We don't know what will happen next, so we need to save some time on this part of the journey to deal with any unexpected situations that may arise.
Little Ai Elf: [Yes, Master.]
The van turned and drove onto the gravel road.
The road is paved with cobblestones, and it's a little bumpy when you go fast, but it's still within an acceptable range.
Meng Qingyin glanced at the road and saw that there were still 30 kilometers to the next intersection. At the current speed of the van at 60 km/h, it would take another half hour.
Meng Qingyin: "Little Ai, stop the car at the next intersection and call me."
Little Ai Elf: [Yes, Master.]
Meng Qingyin took out alkaline bread and mineral water, and had Xiao Ai play some music before starting lunch.
After finishing her meal, she contacted "Fiery Sorrow" to inquire about the progress of the glass production.
Mengmeng: "How's the glass project going? Did you participate in the escort mission?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "No, I've been busy making glass for you, how could I have time to participate in any activities?"
Mengmeng: "Did I hold you back?"
Drowning My Sorrows in Strong Liquor: "Hehe, just kidding. It's mainly because I have a feeling this event is a trap, and I'm still debating whether to participate. What about you? Have you accepted the mission?"
Mengmeng: "I've accepted it."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Can you tell me about it?"
This person wasn't unpleasant, and Meng Qingyin wouldn't mind exchanging a few more words with him, but...
Will the sent message be blocked?
Meng Qingyin typed: "This event has a trap. If you don't complete the task, you will lose 5 random items of supplies."
Click send.
Mengmeng: "This activity is... [unintelligible]."
Meng Qingyin was helpless; as expected, she was blocked.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Uh... it seems there's still no way to pass on the message. Do you suggest I participate?"
Meng Qingyin typed: "Not recommended."
Mengmeng: "口口".
"Drowning my sorrows with strong liquor: Two characters were blocked. You mean to say 'participate'?"
Meng Qingyin quickly typed: "That's not what I meant! I meant I don't recommend it!"
Mengmeng: "That's not what I meant! I meant □□□□□!"
The man, drowning his sorrows in strong liquor, was bewildered: "Huh? That's not what I meant? Were several words censored? Or is it that participation is not recommended?"
Mengmeng: "Never mind, you decide for yourself."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Alright, I'll make the glass for you first."
Mengmeng: "Thanks."
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, only to discover that a new channel had been added to the chat area, called the "Escort Channel".
Finally, this channel is no longer filled with mouths.
Escort No. 7: "I'm going to take the goods I'm escorting to the garbage dump. I'm really fed up. Is my goods going to turn into a box of garbage?"
Escort No. 80: "My destination is 500 kilometers away, and I have 24 hours to prepare. My electric bike has a top speed of 30 km/h, which means I have to pedal for 17 hours straight!"
Escort No. 8209: "Upstairs, you're too optimistic. 17 hours is the ideal scenario, assuming you choose the shortest route. What if you choose the longest route..."
Escort No. 378: "What road did you choose at the beginning? I chose the asphalt road."
Escort No. 10854: "I think the road that looks the easiest to travel might have potholes, so I chose the dirt road."
Escort No. 21879: "This event may be a rip-off, but the fact that it doesn't consume gasoline is still a good thing."
Escort No. 36: "The cargo I'm transporting is a gold chest. I wonder if there's anything good inside? I really want to open it and see."
Escort No. 482: "Let's not. We need to have some professional ethics."
Bodyguard No. 36: "This is a survival world, and you're talking to me about professional ethics? The system didn't say I couldn't look, so I just opened it to take a look. It should be fine, right?"
Escort #7682: "Holy crap, Escort #36's avatar went dark! Did he fail the mission and get kicked out of this channel, or... was he erased by the system? This is terrifying!"
Escort No. 1: "No matter what the situation, don't open the box easily."
Seeing this, Meng Qingyin's last bit of curiosity about the golden box vanished completely.
Whether for the sake of the mission or for her life, do not open the gold chest lightly.
She glanced at the chat area, where the situation was completely different. Players who hadn't yet accepted the escort mission were speculating and dared not make any rash moves.
According to the number of players on the "Escort Channel", 40,000 players have already accepted the mission, which is nearly half.
It seems that no one is content with the status quo and wants to strive for something better.
Meng Qingyin stopped looking at the chat area.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the van arrived at the next intersection.
There are five roads again, but this time they are all paved roads.
Meng Qingyin stared at the map carefully and found that the middle line was the shortest, but it was still 40 kilometers long.
"Little Elf, take the middle path."
[Yes, Master.]
The van drove onto the central concrete road, which was smooth and finally the ride was no longer bumpy.
Meng Qingyin was feeling a bit uncomfortable from the jolting, so she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, a voice announced something.
Meng Qingyin opened her eyes and found that it was a message from "Strong Liquor to Drown Sorrows".
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "The glass is finished."
Then came a transaction.
Meng Qingyin clicked confirm, and the glass was finally in hand. She could finally upgrade her vehicle!
She immediately clicked to upgrade the vehicle.
The next moment, a flash appeared before my eyes.
Meng Qingyin immediately checked the vehicle information and was overjoyed.
Her vehicle has been upgraded to a motorhome!
