Chapter 3: Good Luck from the Opening Box, Upgrade Your Vehicle
Ji Xinghan walked up to the supply box and circled it a few times.
She had just observed the chat channel for a while and made a summary.
There is about a 5% chance of encountering danger during the unpacking process; the creatures that jump out include ferocious rats, poisonous centipedes, and snakes.
Once these things pop out, they will attack the person opening the loot box. Only by killing them can you obtain the supplies.
If the players run away, they can easily escape, but they definitely won't get the items in the chest.
Ji Xinghan was a cautious person. She had already thought about what to do if a rat jumped out and what to do if a snake jumped out.
She had already made a simple net by tying the vines she had just picked up into knots.
Ji Xinghan put the net over the opening of the box and gripped the wooden stick tightly!
here we go!
She extended a wooden stick, gently poked it open, and the wooden box opened...
"Whoosh!" A green shadow shot out like lightning.
snake!
It's a small green snake!
Unfortunately, it was covered in a net bag and paused for a moment.
Ji Xinghan swung his wooden stick hard, smashing it into the small green snake's vital spot.
"Bang!"
"Hiss!" The little snake angrily rolled over.
continue!
Ji Xinghan struck the little snake repeatedly with his wooden stick. Soon, the little snake lay on the ground, barely alive, and motionless.
The final blow: "Bang!"
[Level 1 Blue-flowered Snake Slain!]
[Open the old and dangerous wooden crate!]
[The "Unboxing Master" talent has been triggered, and loot is doubled!]
[Received 4 bottles of mineral water, 4 cans of luncheon meat, 4 pieces of tin, and 4 pieces of rubber!]
With a "whoosh," a pile of supplies scattered on the ground.
[Luncheon meat canned goods: 300g, made from pure meat, high-quality production, tastes absolutely delicious!]
Rubber: An essential resource for upgrading vehicles and crafting items!
There were so many supplies that Ji Xinghan was overwhelmed.
As expected of a dangerous box, awesome!
Not only does it have mineral water, but it also has pure luncheon meat, which provides a lot of energy and keeps you full!
Most importantly, with rubber now available, we're one step closer to upgrading it into a vehicle!
Ji Xinghan put everything back into the wooden box, then picked up some weeds, rolled up the dead snake's body, and stuffed it into the box as well.
Carrying the boxes, she quickly returned to the tricycle.
On the way, she picked up a lot of weeds and stuffed them into the box.
It's past one o'clock now, and the sun is scorching, making people dizzy and lightheaded.
Ji Xinghan picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped down half of it, then took out a can of luncheon meat and ate more than half of it.
After eating and drinking, she felt refreshed and organized the supplies.
Currently, all her supplies are as follows:
Mineral water x6.5 (drank one and a half bottles), tinplate x8, rubber x4, luncheon meat x3 (ate one can).
To upgrade the vehicle, glass and a battery are still missing.
She looked at the chat channel, which was now filled with complaints:
"I'm so thirsty! I'm dying of thirst! Could someone please give me a bottle of water? Please!"
"Waaaaah, Mom and Dad, I was wrong. I'll never go on a hunger strike to make you buy me a phone again. I'm starving and thirsty to death right now, waaaaah..."
"What are you guys yelling about upstairs? Aren't you annoying? Hurry up and find the box, open the box, there's everything in it!"
Jin Baiwan: "My family has tens of billions. A bottle of water costs 1 million. DM me if you want to sell!"
Jian Lin: "Anyone want their fortune told? One tin can do it once. I'll tell you which direction to go."
Ge Xiaochuan: "Liar, do I need you?"
That's about enough. Ji Xinghan decided to sell water. She sent a message: "Half a bottle of water for an unopened box!"
Everyone is currently short of water, and her words immediately attracted many players:
"Half a bottle of water for a whole box? What a swindler! Can't they open it themselves? A box should at least yield a bottle of water!"
"You upstairs are so amazing, how many bottles of water have you opened? You're really bragging. I've opened three boxes and haven't gotten a single bottle of water!"
"Indeed, I've already opened four boxes. Two contained plastic, and two contained sheet metal. I'm so frustrated!"
"Since there's a box, I'd rather open it myself than change the water!"
"Heh, that's because you're not thirsty enough!"
Ji Xinghan was stunned. Someone had already found four boxes? That's amazing!
In just a short time, she had received countless private messages. Some people wanted a free bottle of water, some wanted to exchange it for something else, and some even tried to morally blackmail her by asking her to deliver water to save her life.
Ji Xinghan blocks every single one of these kinds of people he encounters.
Finally, she saw a few useful messages.
Song Zhuo: "I have two boxes, I'll trade you a bottle of water!"
Jian Lin: "I have a box. How about I trade you a bottle of water and some food? Or, I'll give you a chance to have your fortune told?"
Yan Miaomiao: "Sister, do you also have the skill of unpacking boxes?"
Ji Xinghan ignored Jian Lin and Yan Miaomiao, and only replied to Song Zhuo: "Okay!"
In the private chat channel, two people can chat or initiate a trade. When a trade is initiated, both people will see the other person's items in the trade box.
The two made a deal, and Ji Xinghan received two tattered boxes.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why don't you open them yourself? Where did you get so many boxes?"
Song Zhuo made no secret of it: "I can't open the boxes and get anything useful. Sometimes they're empty. I find them in the wild."
So that's how it is. How open and honest!
Ji Xinghan didn't ask any more questions. She put the boxes on the ground and opened them one by one:
[Open the old wooden crate!]
[The "Unboxing Master" talent has been triggered, and loot is doubled!]
[Received 4 bottles of mineral water, 4 batteries, and 4 pieces of glass!]
[Open the old wooden crate!]
[The "Unboxing Master" talent has been triggered, and loot is doubled!]
[Obtain 4 pieces of tin, 4 pieces of rubber, and 4 pieces of plastic!]
This time, they actually obtained new supplies: glass, batteries, and plastic.
Ji Xinghan looked over them one by one:
[Glass: An essential resource for upgrading vehicles. If you have a crafting station, you can also craft cups or other glassware!]
[Battery: It can be installed in vehicles to provide power, and it is also an essential resource for upgrading vehicles!]
Plastics: Widely used, they can be made into various items and even used to upgrade vehicles!
Ji Xinghan reorganized her supplies, and now, all her belongings are as follows:
Mineral water x9.5, sheet metal x12, rubber x8, luncheon meat x3, battery x4, glass x4, plastic x4.
With enough supplies, she can upgrade her vehicle!
Ji Xinghan opened the vehicle information:
Vehicle: Tricycle
Car owner: Ji Xinghan
Battery capacity: 55/100 (Can be equipped with new or spare batteries!)
Next level: Van, required materials: 10 sheet metal, 2 rubber, 1 battery, 2 glass [Upgrade Now]
Ji Xinghan clicked on "Upgrade Now," and the tricycle next to him suddenly started making a clattering sound. In less than half a minute, it turned into a minivan.
This vehicle is the same size as a regular van, white on the outside, with black seats inside. There are only two seats in the front, and a large space in the back.
The two boxes that were previously placed in the truck bed were now quietly placed in the back.
Ji Xinghan nodded. At least it could provide shade and shelter from the rain, and there was room to stack quite a few boxes behind it.
She checked the current vehicle information:
Vehicle: Minivan
Car owner: Ji Xinghan
Battery capacity: 55/200 [Equipped with battery]
Next level: Small RV, required materials: 120 sheet metal, 40 rubber, 12 batteries, 30 leather, 40 glass, 2 fire sand, 10 aluminum sheets, 20 plastic, 1 small RV blueprint (insufficient materials, unable to upgrade).
The next level allows you to upgrade to a motorhome!
Oh my god, I'm so excited!
She was wondering what she would do to sleep at night; having a motorhome would make things much more convenient.
The supplies needed to upgrade to a small RV have increased significantly, and Ji Xinghan looked at them with some surprise.
It seems unreasonable that a minivan needs so few supplies while a small RV needs so many.
Perhaps the game intentionally designed this way to increase the difficulty of leveling up?
Suddenly, a notification sound rang out:
[You are the first player in this region to upgrade your vehicle. Do you want to announce this to the entire region?]
[If announced, the reward will be one random blueprint, two steamers of hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two bowls of delicious chicken soup, and one lighter.]
[Reward: Constitution +1, Agility +1, Strength +1]
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. Was she the first player to upgrade her vehicle?
Aren't many people talented? Haven't they gathered enough supplies yet?
After thinking about it carefully, she understood. It was because her skill as a master of opening boxes was too overpowered. She could get four times the resources from the first six boxes, so her collection speed was four times faster than that of people with talent!
To issue an announcement or not?
