Chapter 28 Energy Shortage
Meng Qingyin sighed and asked, "How do you fix it? Do you need to replace the car door?"
Little Elf: [You can replace the car door, or repair it with a vehicle repair card. Of course, the door will also be automatically repaired after upgrading the vehicle.]
Meng Qingyin asked in surprise: "Vehicle repair card?"
There are props like this?
Little Elf: [That's right! The Vehicle Repair Card can repair any vehicle, no matter how damaged it is!]
Meng Qingyin nodded: "That sounds pretty good."
However, since it's just a damaged door, replacing it would be a waste of resources to use a vehicle repair card.
Moreover, she didn't have a vehicle repair card.
Although she didn't have the car door either, a car door is easier to find than a vehicle repair card, right?
Meng Qingyin thought to herself.
"By the way, Little Elf, are card-type items like vehicle repair cards only obtainable from silver supply crates?" Meng Qingyin asked.
So far, she has only seen three types of cards: Double Harvest Card, Box Suction Card, and Vehicle Upgrade Card.
There's also the vehicle repair card that Little Elf just mentioned.
The Double Harvest Card and the Box Suction Card were obtained from the Newbie Gift Box, while the Vehicle Upgrade Card was obtained from the Silver Supply Box.
Is it possible that only silver-level supply crates can yield card-type items?
Little Ai the Fairy: [Sorry, Master, Little Ai doesn't know the answer to this question either~]
Meng Qingyin didn't press the matter further and instead searched for car doors on the trading platform, but found nothing.
However, she discovered that all the items she had opened from the cockroach supply crates last time had been sold, and she had obtained a number of vehicle upgrade materials.
It was bought by a player named "Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee".
Meng Qingyin closed the trading platform and got into the passenger seat: "Alright, Little Elf, let's continue."
Actually, the broken driver's side door doesn't affect her much. Anyway, Little Elf can drive the van, so she can just sit in the passenger seat.
Since we can't find the car door, we'll just have to wait for the vehicle to be upgraded.
【Yes, Master~】
The van sped away.
For the rest of the time, Meng Qingyin sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the chat area and then at the management group.
The management group was lively, but Meng Qingyin watched for a while and didn't find any useful information.
She turned off the light screen and closed her eyes to rest.
It wasn't until noon that any supply crates respawned, so Meng Qingyin asked Xiao Ai to stop the car and prepare for lunch.
Meng Qingyin got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the two supply boxes she had found that morning.
Because law enforcement took some time, only two supply boxes were found in the morning.
Meng Qingyin looked at them; they were all ordinary supply boxes with no special patterns.
She opened it with confidence and found 2 plastic items, 1 rubber item, 1 sheet metal item, 1 compressed biscuit, and 1 hawthorn juice item.
Meng Qingyin finally understood that ordinary supply boxes would only contain some basic materials, and if you were lucky, you could get food or daily necessities.
To obtain other supplies or items, you need to open higher-level supply boxes or those with special patterns.
After tidying everything up, she took out a piece of desert lizard meat, which weighed about one pound, and there were five pieces in total.
If she's eating it herself, one piece per meal is just right.
Meng Qingyin decided to have barbecue for lunch.
Fortunately, she had salt in her outdoor survival kit.
She rinsed the meat briefly, cut it into small pieces with a dagger, put it directly into the iron pot, and then started a fire.
Soon, the meat was sizzling and dripping with oil. She sprinkled some salt on it, flipped it over, and continued grilling.
When the meat slices were roasted until golden brown on both sides and slightly charred at the edges, Meng Qingyin picked up a piece with her chopsticks and ate it.
It smells very good, has no strange taste, and the meat is tender and not dry at all. It's delicious.
Meng Qingyin opened the bottle of hawthorn juice and happily began to enjoy her lunch.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she was surprised to find that she was sweating profusely.
Under the blazing sun, the temperature had reached 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. With the added heat from the grilled meat, it was no wonder it was so hot.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead with a wet wipe, Meng Qingyin quickly tidied up the pot and tableware and got into the car.
Although there is no air conditioning in the car, at least you don't have to face the scorching sun directly, and it's slightly cooler than outside, but only slightly.
Meng Qingyin found a gas mask and used it to fan herself, which made her feel less hot.
Actually, the best way is to start the van and let the outside wind in; that would be the most comfortable.
However, Meng Qingyin glanced at the remaining battery level, which was 75%. She didn't dare to drive it any further until she found a charging station.
She was worried the car would run out of power, so she would play with the ball.
However, gasoline cars can be refueled, but do their electric cars have to find a charging station to charge?
Will there really be charging stations here?
Meng Qingyin opened the chat area, wanting to see if other electric vehicle players had encountered charging stations or anything like that.
Lillian: "It's so hot! It's so hot today. The sun is scorching hot on my skin. I feel like I'm going to faint from the heat."
Karami: "I ran into a highway patrol officer this morning, do you know who it was?"
Choosing a name is so hard: "Who is it? Is it that beautiful female NPC again?"
Mysterious man: "Could it be Officer Rabbit?"
Little Karami: "No, it's a pheasant! Its tail is so colorful, it's beautiful!"
If You Are Well: "Pheasants? Seriously, are all the highway patrol officers animals? Is this some kind of animal documentary?"
I was speechless: "They're not all animals. The one I encountered this morning was that beautiful NPC. If I didn't know she was an NPC, I would have definitely mistaken her for a player. She's so lifelike, just like a real person!"
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin's lips twitched.
How could she not be lifelike? She is a real person.
"I'll love you even if I die": "But does anyone have a helmet? I see a lot of you got fined for not wearing helmets while riding bikes, and I'm so afraid I'll get caught too!"
The mysterious man said, "Don't even mention it! I've been collecting helmets all morning, and nobody's selling them! I already have a record of this once. If I get three, I'll be suspended for half a day. I'm the one who should be trembling with fear!"
Li Gang: "Now everyone keeps the helmets they find; nobody sells them unless they find extras."
Leng Lengbingyu: "Actually, what I'm worried about right now isn't the helmet, but that my electric scooter is almost out of power! It only has 20% battery left. If I can't find a charging station, I'll have to carry the scooter the rest of the way today."
Username: "My motorcycle is almost out of gas, does anyone have any gasoline? Sell me some!"
"..."
Meng Qingyin frowned. It seemed that both gasoline-powered cars and electric cars faced the same dilemma: insufficient fuel or electricity.
If we can't find energy soon, a large number of people will definitely be laid off tomorrow!
