Chapter 38 Highway Map
Mengmeng: "I don't have any anti-itch medicine, but I found a bottle of mentholatum. Do you want it?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Mentholatum? Can that stuff even stop itching?"
Mengmeng: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "...Fine, trade it to me, I'll give it a try."
Mengmeng: "Let's talk business. We need to agree on this first: how many pieces of glass are you planning to exchange?"
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "..."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "We've known each other for a long time, you're being too polite by saying that."
Meng Qingyin wasn't buying it. "Sorry, I only recognize glass."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor, he sighed, "Fine, it turns out I was just being presumptuous. How about I exchange two pieces of glass for you, boss?"
Mr. Meng was very satisfied and immediately sent a transaction request.
The transaction was completed, and she received two pieces of glass.
Mengmeng: What supplies do you need for the remaining glass?
There was no reply to "drowning my sorrows in strong liquor".
After a while, he sent several messages in a row.
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "Damn, this cooling balm really works!"
Drowning sorrows in strong liquor: "The itching stopped as soon as I applied it, and my butt feels so cool and comfortable!"
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "I absolutely rave about this cooling balm!"
Mengmeng: "...There's no need to give me feedback on how it's being used. What other supplies do you need for the remaining glass?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Your menthol balm helped me a lot, and the rest of the glass is yours for free."
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed and was about to decline when "Strong Wine Drowns Sorrows" sent another message, which made Meng Qingyin's face turn dark.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I could never say such a thing. I remember what you said about business being business."
Mengmeng: "Is it too late for me to take back what I said?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "What do you think?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "You caused quite a commotion selling gasoline earlier. How about this, give me a can of gasoline, and I'll give you the remaining 18 pieces of glass this afternoon."
Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that "drowning her sorrows in strong liquor" was going to ask for an exorbitant price, but thankfully he didn't.
Mengmeng: "Okay, thank you."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "You're welcome. Your cooling balm really worked; it helped me a lot..."
Seeing that he was about to elaborate, Meng Qingyin immediately interrupted him, "I'm hungry soon, I'll go cook first, and we'll talk again in the afternoon."
He then closed the chat window.
This person talked a lot and very quickly, and she was finding it hard to keep up.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Fine."
Meng Qingyin glanced at the control panel and realized that the peas would finish germinating in one minute.
Meng Qingyin rested her chin on her hand and waited.
The moment the countdown reached 0, the detailed interface of the pea changed.
[Pea (already bound)]
Status: Seedling stage (click to change location)
Nutrients required for growth: Electricity (Click to switch nutrient solution.)
The next stage is estimated to be 24 hours away. Please ensure a sufficient supply of nutrients, otherwise seed growth will stagnate.
At the same time, Meng Qingyin noticed a tender pea seedling growing on the center console.
The seedling has a long stem with two oval leaves at the top, and a tiny dewdrop hangs from the tip of each leaf.
The wind was quite strong blowing in from outside the car, but the dewdrops remained on the leaves, neither sliding off nor being blown away by the wind.
Meng Qingyin was somewhat surprised. She had thought that once the peas and the vehicle were bound together, they would always exist in the form of electronic information.
I never expected that seedlings would sprout from them.
After staring at the endless yellow sand for so long, seeing this tender green spot is quite pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, what's with these dewdrops?
Even such a strong wind couldn't blow it away?
Meng Qingyin tried to touch the dewdrop, feeling a cool sensation on her fingertips as the dewdrop transferred to her hand.
Meng Qingyin examined it closely and found nothing special about it; it was just a drop of water.
She waved the water away and tried changing the position of the pea seedlings, discovering that she could plant them not only anywhere inside the car, but also outside.
However, Meng Qingyin ultimately planted the peas on the center console so that she could see a touch of green at a glance, which would improve her mood.
I glanced at the time; it was already 11:30, and there was still half an hour until lunchtime.
She is currently 5 km away from the next supply crate.
Meng Qingyin used the [Double Harvest Card], then leaned back in her chair, letting Xiao Ai the elf drive her to find the supply box.
The speed limit on this highway is 40 km/h, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the vicinity of the supply box.
Xiao Ai parked the car, and Meng Qingyin glanced at the exact location of the supply box before getting out to search for it.
Soon, she found two supply boxes in the sand and carried them back to the car.
She stored the batteries and gasoline from the trunk and back seat into her system backpack, leaving only a few storage boxes.
Meng Qingyin put down the two supply boxes she had just found, sat back in the passenger seat, and continued driving.
Suddenly, she realized a great way to exploit the bug.
She could have easily frozen the remaining time of the Double Harvest Card and then opened it when she was about to find the next supply box!
This saves travel time, and a Double Harvest Card can be used for a long time!
Meng Qingyin was extremely annoyed that she had only just thought of this good idea; how many supply boxes she had wasted before!
Thinking it over, she immediately clicked to freeze the remaining time.
[This is not rest time; data cannot be frozen.]
Okay, so the system had been protecting itself all along.
Meng Qingyin wasn't too disappointed.
They continued driving until 12 o'clock, and Meng Qingyin collected a total of 4 supply boxes.
Two of the supply boxes had the same rat pattern engraved on them.
Meng Qingyin first used a stun gun to get rid of the rats in the box before checking the supplies inside.
In addition to the upgrade materials, I also obtained [Road Map x1], [Backpack Expansion x1], [Swiss Roll x2], [Alkali Bread x1], [Coconut Toast x1], and [Kitchen Knife x1].
I didn't expect to get another backpack expansion item.
Meng Qingyin used it to expand the system backpack to 15 slots.
Then, she picked up the highway map to take a look.
[Road Map: A very detailed road map, but it only shows the scenery within a 50-kilometer radius (excluding supply crates). It can be used after being bound to a vehicle.]
Although the road map doesn't include supply crates, she has a detector, which she can combine with the map.
Moreover, the viewing range of the highway map is actually 50 kilometers around, which is much larger than that of the detector.
Meng Qingyin bound the highway map to her vehicle.

An electronic map appears on the left side of the center console.
In the very center is a straight road, with bushes on both sides, and even the withered bushes are shown on the map.
For Meng Qingyin, collecting weeds will be much more convenient in the future, at least she won't have to search for them herself.
Just as she was about to cook, Meng Qingyin heard a unique voice belonging to the management group.
