Chapter 18: Another vehicle upgrade, a small motorhome.
The flames burned on the wooden board, landing directly on the toad's wound.
"Croak, croak, croak!" the toad cried out in pain, its four legs thrashing about desperately, but unfortunately, its two hind legs were bound by the net and it couldn't break free at all.
A foul, burnt smell wafted over, and Ji Xinghan held his breath.
"Croak, croak, croak!" The toad was in so much pain that it finally managed to break free by using all four legs at the same time.
It pushed off with its hind legs, jumped out of the net, and landed on the edge of the road, where it met Ji Xinghan's gaze.
"Croak, croak, croak!" The toad croaked loudly a few times, squatted by the roadside, and glared angrily at Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan gripped the burning plank tightly and slowly backed away... If all else failed, she planned to return to the van!
Most importantly, this thing is disgusting; it made her all sticky. Luckily, she had just changed into her old clothes!
The toad squatted for about ten seconds, then suddenly croaked, turned around, jumped off the road, and disappeared into the darkness.
They ran away?
Did they run away in fright?
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. So, this guy was scared of being beaten?
[Open the old and extremely dangerous wooden crate!]
[Obtained 1 small RV blueprint, already placed in storage backpack!]
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed; she had produced the blueprints for the RV?
She quickly took it out:
[Small RV Blueprint: Upgrades a van to a small RV. Required materials: 120 sheet metal, 40 rubber, 12 batteries, 30 leather, 40 glass, 2 fire sands, 10 aluminum sheets, 20 plastic!]
It really is RV blueprints, that's great!
Ji Xinghan almost burst into tears. It had been so difficult; she thought she wouldn't be able to complete the task of upgrading the vehicle within 24 hours. But what a pleasant surprise!
All that hard work just now wasn't in vain!
Ji Xinghan glanced at the dirty, tattered nylon net and sent a private message to Ge Xiaochuan: "Sorry, the net is broken. I'll try to gather the necessary supplies and make a new one for you."
Ge Xiaochuan: "It's nothing, it's nothing, hehe, boss, um... could you lend me three pieces of tin and one piece of rubber? I'll pay you back later."
Ji Xinghan: "No problem!"
She casually traded three pieces of iron and one piece of rubber to Ge Xiaochuan. She had plenty of those things. Besides, she had damaged someone's very fine nylon netting. Even if she returned it tomorrow, it might not be any better than this. Compensation was only fair.
Ge Xiaochuan accepted the supplies and expressed his deepest gratitude.
Ji Xinghan couldn't wait to open the vehicle's control panel:
Vehicle: Minivan
Car owner: Ji Xinghan
Battery capacity: 145/200 [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 [Upgrade Now]
Ji Xinghan clicked "Upgrade Now".
The van next to it started making a "clattering" sound. It slowly grew bigger, taller, and more spacious. In less than half a minute, it transformed into a tall campervan.
The RV is cream-white and looks very heavy.
The RV is rectangular, about 2.8 meters high, about 2 meters wide, and about 6 meters long.
The front is curved, while the back has only a slight curve, and there are many windows all around.
It has two doors, one on the left and one on the right.
Ji Xinghan circled the RV several times, quite satisfied. He called it a small RV, but actually, it wasn't small at all!
She got into the car, glanced at it, and froze.
There are still two driver's seats in front, but they are higher, larger, more spacious and more comfortable, and the steering wheel is much more upscale, with a clear and bright electronic screen.
The display shows: [Speed limit: 80km/h; Battery range: 145km!]
The driver's seat was packed, but the back of the vehicle was completely empty.
The boxes she had previously placed in the van were now lying alone on the ground.
This... is it considered a motorhome?
Aren't RVs supposed to have a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom? This one is just an empty shell; how can it be called an RV?
Ji Xinghan opened the vehicle's control panel and took a look:

...
Ji Xinghan was dazzled by what he saw.
It turns out that a motorhome can be equipped with so many things. In fact, her upgraded motorhome is like an empty house, and she still needs to buy furniture and decorate it.
These furniture pieces need to be made from blueprints, and a lot of materials are required.
Ji Xinghan was both amused and exasperated. It seemed he was in for some work from now on!
A game notification sounded:
[Congratulations! You are the first player in this region to upgrade to a small RV. Would you like to make a region-wide announcement?]
If announced, the reward will be a set of cooking utensils (pots and pans), a set of various seasonings (including oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, cumin, chili, etc.), and a random weapon blueprint.
[Based on your previous selection, we estimate you are a very cooperative, cheerful, and outgoing player who enjoys sharing. Therefore, the game has automatically defaulted to "agree"!]
[Announcement coming soon, rewards will be distributed shortly!]
Ji Xinghan: ...
Is this even possible?
Where in this game do you see that she's cheerful, lively, and likes to share?
They're not giving you a chance to refuse at all!
Okay, okay, the reward is too tempting, so I'll just make an announcement!
Suddenly, Jian Lin sent a private message: "Ji Xinghan, what's wrong? Did something really happen?"
