Chapter 14 The Box Search Competition
[007's friendly reminder: A new day has begun, time to get up and work hard! Also, there will be a new giveaway event at 8:00 AM today, so stay tuned!]
Zhang Zhan: "007, are you trying to kill me? I was having a sweet dream, and your voice, as cold as ice, suddenly barged into my dream. It scared me to death!"
He plucked a star: "I declare that 007's voice is the strongest alarm clock, the kind that wakes you up instantly!"
"Don't be shy: 'Another new perk event? I've been so excited! Who wouldn't love free compressed biscuits?'"
Wheat: "Look, there are still 99,976 people in the chat! More than twenty people died on the first day of the newbie period!"
I am the Lucky One (Fake): "Yeah, how could anyone die on the first day? Even if you don't get a single box, you won't starve to death in a day."
Xiao Yuliang: "Could it be that someone sleepwalked in the middle of the night and got eaten by a monster in the dark after leaving the vehicle?"
My heart is pounding: "Ah?! How scary!"
Overjoyed, she cried, "It's dawn! It's finally dawn! I woke up in the middle of the night needing to pee, but I was too scared to go out, so I held it in for three whole hours!"
Evil Little Mage: "You're amazing upstairs! Aren't you afraid of ruining your bladder by holding it in like that? If you really can't, just take care of it in the car."
"..."
Meng Qingyin also discovered that the chat area originally had 100,000 people, but 24 people were missing overnight.
The only possibility is an unknown monster lurking in the darkness.
It seems I'll have to be more careful at night from now on.
Meng Qingyin opened the tent, and sure enough, it was already daylight outside.
She grabbed some toilet paper and ran to the sand dunes to take care of her business.
After finishing, she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, washed her hands briefly, and then put the remaining half-full bottle back before starting to eat breakfast.
After eating the last milk-flavored steamed bun with garlic ham and a few chicken heart fruits to replenish her fluids, Meng Qingyin packed up the tent and got on the electric tricycle.
The tricycle has a dashboard in front. On the left is the speed and remaining battery level, and on the right is a map. The map radiates outwards from the electric vehicle for a distance of ten kilometers. There are green supply box markers 2 km, 3 km, and 7 km ahead.
There are supply crates! And three of them!
Meng Qingyin wasn't in a hurry to leave. She remembered that she had also unlocked the Little Ai Elf, but she didn't know what functions the Little Ai Elf had.
She tried calling out, "Little Elf?"
【Here you are, Master! Xiao Ai will be at your service!】
The central area of the map on the dashboard lights up.
Meng Qingyin asked, "What functions do you have?"
Xiao Ai Elf: [Currently, Xiao Ai Elf has the following functions: listen to songs, listen to crosstalk, listen to novels, and listen to original audiobooks. More functions can be unlocked by upgrading the vehicle!]
Meng Qingyin: "..."
To sum it all up, I just wanted to keep her entertained when she was bored.
Well, something is better than nothing.
Meng Qingyin: "Little Ai Elf, please find me a survival novel."
[Okay, Master, I've found the survival novel for you, "Travel Frog: I Survive at Sea and Become a Boss" (also known as "Survival at Sea: I Became a Special Monster Manager"), by Smiling Star...]
As the novel played, Meng Qingyin also decided to set off.
A new day begins, and she must find lots of supply boxes!
"Gogogo!"
With a twist of the throttle in his right hand, the tricycle shot off.
As the flashing green box drew closer, Meng Qingyin stopped her tricycle on the road.
According to the directions, the supply box is located about 500 meters east of the highway.
Meng Qingyin got out of the car, tucked the stun gun into her waistband, and walked eastward across the sand.
Ten minutes later, she found the supply box in a low-lying sand pit.
This location is very well hidden; it's impossible to spot from the road, let alone while driving.
This detector was such a great deal!
Just as Meng Qingyin was about to open the box, another message came in the [Highway Survival Management Group].
[White Fox: A new day has dawned, and a new event is on its way!]
[Pheasant: Fox Bro, what's the new event? Give me a sneak peek!]
[White Fox: The Box-Finding Contest.]
[Pheasant: Why isn't it a bug-hunting contest?]
[Hyena: Only you chickens like to eat insects!]
[Pheasant: But insects are really delicious, plump and white, bursting with juice when you bite into them...]
Meng Qingyin, suppressing the goosebumps all over her body, closed the management group.
If she looked at it for even one more second, her breakfast would be wasted.
However, the "Crate Finding Contest" is probably about finding supply crates, right?
She glanced at the time; it would be eight o'clock in two minutes.
Let's just wait a little longer.
If she's really looking for a supply crate, it would be a waste for her to open this now.
The waiting time seemed to pass exceptionally long.
Meng Qingyin would check the supply boxes for any special patterns, stare at an unknown little flower not far away, and fan herself with her sun hat, making eight hundred movements per second.
After her anxious wait, 007's voice finally rang out.
Today's giveaway event is a crate-finding contest, which, as the name suggests, involves searching for supply crates.
The event runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. All supply boxes collected during this period will be counted, and the top ten players with the most supply boxes will receive generous rewards!
Of course, this isn't a game for the lucky. If some players can't even find a single supply crate during the event, they will still receive a guaranteed reward as compensation from the system.
[The box-finding contest has now officially begun!]
After 007 finished speaking, the players paused for a few seconds, and the chat area quickly became lively.
I'm an unlucky person: "Charge! The generous rewards are coming my way!"
I'm the Lucky One (Fake): "Charge! Here comes the guaranteed reward!"
Heartbreaker: "So this event is good for lucky people and also good for unlucky people, but those of us who are average are not appreciated and get nothing?"
Italian Cannon: "We're just like those little cabbages nobody loves."
I'm drawing circles to curse you: "007 is so stingy today, not generous at all! I still prefer the generous 007 from yesterday! 007, can you see this?"
Wang Ning: "Even if I don't get into the top ten, I must find five supply crates today! Fighting!!!"
"..."
The liveliness in the chat area did not affect Meng Qingyin.
The moment she heard the system voice end, she grabbed the supply box and ran to her electric scooter.
I'm going to get a generous reward today too!
Time was limited, so she had to hurry and find the next supply box!
The back of the tricycle was larger and more spacious, able to hold more boxes. She put the boxes down and rode to the next supply box.
