Chapter 32 Traveling Merchant Achen
[Day 5 of survival, arid desert, 7:02:29 AM, sunny.]
Name: Meng Qingyin
Chat nickname: Mengmeng
Number: 067256
Physical condition: 2
Strength: 2
Agility: 3
Comfort level: Normal
Vehicle: Minivan
Maximum speed: 50km
Fuel consumption: 0/100km
Battery remaining capacity: 68%
Functions: Intelligent system, hazard identification function, voice control function, exploration supply box
Current mileage: 69km
Today's target mileage: 60km (Keep pushing! Failure to reach the target mileage will result in the mileage being erased. However, given your status as a high-ranking highway enforcer, your target mileage has been reduced to 50km.)
Upgrade materials required: 25/500 Plastic, 18/500 Sheet Metal, 10/500 Sheet Aluminum, 8/500 Rubber, 38/500 Wooden Boards, 1/6 Tire, 0/20 Glass, 0/4 Headlights. (You can use a vehicle upgrade card to upgrade!)
On the first day of the new day, Meng Qingyin opened the panel to check her target mileage for the day.
It increased by 10 km compared to yesterday.
The energy problem remains unresolved, yet the target mileage continues to increase, which undoubtedly fuels the complaints from players in the chat area.
Forget it, sighing won't help.
She now knows at least that she can buy energy from the traveling merchants, and she also has the cream cakes that the traveling merchants like to eat. As long as she finds the traveling merchants, all her problems will be solved.
Meng Qingyin was never one to worry unnecessarily, and she nipped the negative emotions in the bud before they could spread.
She rummaged through the food storage box and found a sesame seed cake, then opened a bottle of mineral water and started eating.
She glanced around and realized she didn't have much food left. After finishing the sesame seed cake, she only had a steamed bun and a red bean bun left. She needed to find a few more supply boxes today.
She ate while checking the peas on the control panel.
[Pea (already bound)]
Status: Budding stage
Nutrient supply required for growth: None (Click to switch to electric power.)
The next stage is estimated to take 6 hours and 15 minutes. The nutrient solution has been depleted, and pea growth has stalled. Growth will resume after replenishing the nutrient supply.
Meng Qingyin frowned slightly. Had they used up a bottle of nutrient solution so quickly?
Although she could switch to electricity, she didn't know how much electricity it would consume to power the peas, so she didn't dare to switch to electricity easily.
Or maybe we should wait until she finishes her duties and come back, then keep watch and try again.
If Pea drains all the power from her car battery while she's away, she'll be doomed.
With that in mind, Meng Qingyin quickly finished her breakfast, changed into her uniform, and began her day of law enforcement.
In a flash, she appeared on a highway.
Not far away, a figure was slowly pedaling a tricycle toward them.
Meng Qingyin stood aside waiting for him.
As the figure drew closer, Meng Qingyin could see the person's appearance clearly.
She was a young girl wearing a red tank top and white shorts.
The girl had a healthy wheat-colored complexion, short hair, was very tall, and looked energetic.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin in her uniform, the girl quickly stopped her tricycle and walked towards her.
"You must be the newly appointed highway patrol officer?" the girl said with a bright smile, extending her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
As she walked towards her, Meng Qingyin also saw the girl's information, which consisted of only five words: "[Traveling Merchant Achen]".
Meng Qingyin reached out and shook her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "Hello, Achen."
Who would have thought that what I was looking for would come to me so easily!
The traveling merchant she had been searching for actually appeared while she was on duty!
Their hands clasped for a few seconds before separating.
Ah Chen still had a warm smile on his face. "What a coincidence! I've only been in this district for a day and I've already run into law enforcement officers. But I always follow the rules of safe driving on the road, so feel free to check."
Meng Qingyin nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation."
She gave Ah Chen's tricycle a perfunctory inspection and found nothing wrong with it.
Ah Chen stood by and watched. Seeing that she had finished checking and there were no problems, he smiled and asked, "How was it, officer? Is my tricycle alright?"
“No problem at all.” Meng Qingyin nodded.
Ah Chen winked playfully, "Then I'm off, I still have to go do business."
With that, he straddled the tricycle and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Meng Qingyin stopped the tricycle, "I have something to tell you."
Ah Chen raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
Meng Qingyin was unwilling to reveal too much about her, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "Are you a traveling merchant, selling goods to players?"
“Of course.” Ah Chen nodded.
Meng Qingyin: "Can I buy it?"
Ah Chen paused for a moment, frowned and pondered for a while, before nodding: "Your identity is special; you are both a highway enforcer and a player. However, as a player, you can naturally buy my goods."
Meng Qingyin didn't quite understand: "Can you buy it when you're a player?"
Ah Chen said jokingly, "If I were to make a deal with highway patrol officers, it would inevitably raise suspicions of bribing them. To avoid trouble, when you're on duty as a highway patrol officer, I won't sell you the goods..."
She blinked again as she spoke, "And when you take off this uniform, as players, we can trade."
Meng Qingyin felt somewhat embarrassed.
Because she is now a highway patrol officer, not a player.
Once she regains her player identity, where will she find Ah Chen?
After thinking for a moment, she tentatively said, "I'm very interested in your goods. Could we exchange contact information first, and I'll contact you when I have time?"
“Of course,” Ah Chen smiled. “I’ve added you as a friend. Remember to accept, then I won’t bother you while you’re on duty.”
She waved and quickly disappeared from Meng Qingyin's sight on her tricycle.
Meng Qingyin immediately opened her friends list and found a friend request.
[Traveling merchant Achen has requested to add you as a friend.]
Ah Chen's profile picture is a jar of honey, which shows that she really loves eating honey.
After quickly clicking "accept," Meng Qingyin closed the chat window with satisfaction.
Now that she has Achen's contact information, she can continue her duties.
Meng Qingyin's second person on duty was a little girl riding a bicycle. The little girl did not engage in any unsafe driving behavior, so Meng Qingyin naturally did not find fault with her or punish her intentionally, and let her go without hesitation.
But an unexpected incident occurred with the third one.
