Chapter 53 Golden Fish, Stockpiling Batteries
Ji Xinghan waved his hand: "Alright, no need to say anything more."
She had no intention of prying into other people's secrets, especially those involving their talents and skills.
She didn't want to exchange secrets either.
Jin Baiwan stood up, looking at Ji Xinghan with expectant eyes: "Why don't you try fishing?"
Ji Xinghan shook his head: "I can't!"
Jin Baiwan shoved the fishing rod into her hand: "Here, give it a try. I just want to see what kind of fish you can catch with your luck!"
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up.
Well, she must be pretty lucky, right?
She cast her fishing rod into the water and waited quietly.
Suddenly, a notification sounded: [Vehicle remaining battery power: 35%; Please top up the battery promptly!]
Ji Xinghan was taken aback.
The car's battery is only 35% left? That's not right! She remembered glancing at the electronic screen on the steering wheel when she got out of the car, and the battery level was... 41%!
Her car wasn't moving, so how could it have lost 6 units of battery power for no reason?
What exactly happened?
wrong!
Ji Xinghan couldn't help but move the fishing rod.
I remember now, the battery was a little low when I woke up this morning...
Oh, she understands!
Modern RVs now come with built-in air conditioning, which can be set to turn on when you leave.
Previously, the temperature was suitable, so the air conditioner did not consume much electricity.
The temperature is high now, so air conditioners consume more electricity, and therefore, electricity consumption is decreasing faster!
The temperature will get even higher in the future, so the battery will drop rapidly!
Ji Xinghan had a sudden realization. Her RV was consuming a lot of electricity, and she quickly noticed the anomaly. Most of the others were in vans, and they would soon also notice the increased power consumption.
so……
Batteries will become scarcer in the future, and their prices will rise!
What she needs to do now is—stock up on batteries!
Ji Xinghan immediately said in the chat channel: "Looking to buy a small number of batteries, can trade metal sheets for them, DM me if interested!"
She has the most sheet metal, so she doesn't feel bad at all using it to replace batteries!
Suddenly, her fishing rod dipped downwards...
A fish has taken the bait!
Ji Xinghan immediately jerked the fishing rod high, casting the hook in a beautiful parabola, shimmering with dazzling golden light.
Like a golden crescent moon.
It almost blinded her.
Jin Baiwan exclaimed, "My God, what is this? Ji Xinghan, did you fish up a piece of gold?"
With a "plop," the golden crescent moon fell to the ground; it turned out to be a small fish.
Golden little fish.
It's only about a finger's width wide and less than ten centimeters long, making it a miniature fish.
Its entire body was pure gold, dazzlingly bright, and it was currently tumbling and jumping around on the ground.
"Snap!" It shook off the hook and hopped on the ground, about to go into the water.
"Grab it!" Jin Baiwan shouted and rushed over.
Suddenly, the little goldfish sprang up like a golden cannonball and rushed towards Ji Xinghan.
Extremely fast.
Like a dagger gleaming with golden light, it stabbed straight at us.
Jin Baiwan was shocked and exclaimed, "My God, it's so fierce!"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly dodged. With a "bang," the little goldfish crashed into a large rock next to him.
Stone chips flew everywhere.
The little goldfish was unharmed, and with a flick of its body, it stabbed straight at Ji Xinghan again.
"Oh my god, it's so hard!" Jin Baiwan exclaimed again.
Ji Xinghan swung his longsword, blocking with a "clang." The little goldfish bumped into his sword, then bounced off and landed on a tree.
"Oh my god!" Jin Baiwan exclaimed dramatically and rushed over to help.
The little golden fish hopped around, and it looked like it was about to return to the water.
Suddenly, a yellow figure flashed by. Dingdang moved, meowed, and stepped on a golden fish that had just fallen to the lakeside.
The little fish kept struggling.
Doraemon looked down at it, then "woof!" and snatched it in its mouth.
Ji Xinghan breathed a sigh of relief: "Dingdang, quick, eat it!"
This is a golden fish; it's definitely not ordinary.
Doraemon started chewing with loud "ooh ooh ooh," but unfortunately, after several bites, the golden fish was still struggling.
Little Dingdang was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes.
Finally, it stretched its neck with all its might and swallowed the little golden fish with a "gulp".
Then, it struggled twice and collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Jin Baiwan was utterly shocked: "My God, it couldn't have... been poisoned, could it?"
After all, it was a magical little fish!
It's dazzlingly golden, but it looks poisonous!
Ji Xinghan rushed over and picked up Xiao Dingdang.
Doraemon's body went limp, and he collapsed into her arms.
Jin Baiwan was a little embarrassed: "Ji Xinghan, I didn't know it would turn out like this. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you do it. This... your actions were too terrifying!"
I actually caught such a ferocious fish.
Ji Xinghan shook his head: "It's too hot, let's go back quickly."
It's almost midnight now, and the temperature has risen to 37°C. They feel like they're in an oven.
The two separated and each returned to their respective car.
As Ji Xinghan hurried along, he opened the chat channel, which was still bustling with activity:
"Oh my god, it's so hot! It's so hot!"
"It's only noon now, not even the hottest time yet. The temperature will probably rise further, reaching 40 degrees Celsius in no time!"
"Oh my god, 40 degrees Celsius is deadly!"
"Haha, it's so much more comfortable in this van! I've started the engine and turned on the air conditioning, so cozy!"
"I suggest everyone upgrade their vehicles as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to survive!"
"Yes, the game has been recommending vehicle upgrades repeatedly, so you guys should hurry up and upgrade, the van is so comfortable!"
Taking advantage of the crowd and the lively atmosphere, Ji Xinghan called out again: "Buying a small number of batteries, can be exchanged for sheet metal, rubber, or glass, DM me if interested!"
Currently, approximately 30% of people have upgraded their vehicles.
Most of the remaining people who failed to upgrade lack fire sand, but a few may lack a few pieces of iron, two pieces of rubber, or a piece of glass.
If they happen to have extra batteries, they are Ji Xinghan's target.
Sure enough, she received many private messages.
Half an hour later, she returned to the RV and had replaced 60 batteries!
In fact, batteries are more valuable than rubber, sheet metal, and glass. Therefore, Ji Xinghan would chat with people privately, and if a player happened to be short of a sheet metal or a piece of glass, he would exchange these resources for it.
If she's short 5 iron plates, she'll replace them.
In short, the idea is to use sheet metal paired with a piece of glass or a piece of rubber, minimizing the amount of glass and rubber exchanged.
After getting in the vehicle, Ji Xinghan took out nine batteries and installed them in the RV. Immediately, the vehicle information changed:
Vehicle: Small motorhome
Car owner: Ji Xinghan
Battery capacity: 481kJ/500kJ [Equipped with battery]
Information: 2.8 meters high; 5 meters wide; 10 meters long!
Finally, she sorted out the supplies.
Currently, her supplies are as follows:
110 sheet metal, 163 iron blocks, 30 rubber, 73 batteries, 31 glass, 13 aluminum sheets, 17 copper sheets, 4 wooden planks, 30 wooden blocks, 30 twigs, and 30 leaves
150 Plastic, 9 Fire Crystals, 5 Crystal Stones, 3 Ice Crystals, 2 Earth Crystals, 6 Space Crystals, 3 Fire Sands, 3 Anti-inflammatory Needles, 2 Healing Bandages, 4 Antidiarrheal Capsules (bottles), 1 Dining Table and Chair Blueprint, 1 Refrigerator Blueprint, 1 Iron Axe Blueprint, 1 Stove Blueprint, 1 Toilet Blueprint, 1 Intermediate Condenser Blueprint, 8 Sponges, 5 Peaches, 3 Cotton Cloths, 1 Watermelon, 282 Oranges…
There's too much stuff, I really can't put it all down.
Ji Xinghan had been busy for a while and his mouth was already dry.
She had been out all morning and was covered in sweat; her clothes were soaked through.
She went to the shower room, took a shower and washed her hair, then changed her clothes, washed her soaking wet clothes, thought for a moment, and went to the second-floor terrace.
With the sun so strong, drying clothes on the second-floor terrace is the perfect solution.
After descending the stairs and stepping onto the terrace, Ji Xinghan draped her clothes over the railing and glanced at the potatoes.
The potatoes are almost ripe!
Ji Xinghan decided to come back and collect the harvest later.
She went downstairs and drank half a bottle of mineral water, but she still couldn't suppress the anxiety in her heart, and her head even started to ache slightly.
It's almost 1 a.m., and I have absolutely no appetite.
What's wrong?
