Chapter 205 Awkwardness
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
With that in mind, she used the copper coins she had earned that day to buy one each of a basic mental strength cultivation potion and a physical constitution tempering potion. She figured she didn't need anything else and didn't need to increase her stock through the gift shop.
So they simply put the two newly purchased potions back on the shelves, and so on, until all 16 of the 18 shelves, except for two used to stock the two kinds of King-level ingredients that were previously rewarded by the game, were stocked with the two kinds of potions.
However, this also nearly depleted her copper coins. If she couldn't collect enough supplies to sell tomorrow, she wouldn't be able to afford either of the two types of potions on those 16 shelves, let alone buy them all.
I also need to see if the backpack crafting feature has been retained. I'll try it tomorrow. If it is, then this malicious game might not be without hope.
After all, as long as he could synthesize a mental power awakening potion for his brother, he didn't believe that with his abilities, after awakening his mental power skills, he would still end up with an uncertain fate at the same time.
As long as he is alive, no matter how big the difficulties they encounter, she believes her brother can overcome them. After all, it has always been like this since childhood, whether it was when he was a minor raising her, a child, or when they were poor and had to work for capital.
Some scumbags around them saw them as children who were easy to bully and picked fights with them... and so on. All sorts of difficulties and predicaments were overcome by the older brother through his own abilities, allowing him to live a decent and safe life, and gradually he was no longer bullied by anyone...
As Feng Xingshou pondered this, she immersed herself in the hot spring, drowsily recovering her senses. However, she intended to keep this space as a trump card and didn't want anyone other than her brother to know about it. So, despite wanting to soak a little longer, she left the space once her headache subsided and continued resting in her bedroom...
It wasn't until that evening that she felt fully recovered. Remembering that she hadn't been able to trade vehicle parts with players in the area as usual because she was exhausted, she opened the game panel to check the sales status.
She processed and made a lot of various parts for the survivors in the same area, and only stopped after exchanging them for a large amount of materials. By then, it was completely dark. She packed up the materials and left the bedroom, where she saw Officer Zhu Fushi wearing an apron and busy in the small kitchen.
Hagiwara and Matsuda, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed, drinking coffee and chatting at the small living room table. Upon hearing her voice, the three of them immediately greeted her, "Fū-chan, you're awake? How are you feeling?"
"You woke up just in time; the meal is almost ready."
"Jing Dan is in charge of the cooking today, so look forward to it!"
The space, which had been relatively quiet, instantly became lively with their voices. Feeling the tranquility that was completely different from when he lived alone, Feng Xingshou couldn't help but smile: "Hmm! Then I'll have to give it a good try."
"I heard from Hagiwara that you prefer savory, spicy, and numbing flavors, so I specially prepared a Mapo Tofu dish and a stuffed green pepper dish, hoping to satisfy your taste buds." As Morofushi Kagemitsu spoke, he didn't forget to prepare the last dish, which seemed to be braised fish. Looking at his focused, bright blue eyes, you could tell he genuinely loved cooking…
.
The next morning, Kazehoshi Mori woke up early, still dreaming about the dishes that Inspector Morofushi had made the night before. She had heard Hagiwara and Matsuda praise Inspector Morofushi's cooking skills several times.
But I only thought it was at the level of an amateur, maybe able to match some home-style dishes in a small shop, but it could never compare to the authentic chefs' skills that I occasionally indulged in when I went to a fancy restaurant.
Unexpectedly, after trying it yesterday, this notion was completely shattered. Of course, those two Chinese dishes were just standard Chinese food in her opinion, and the presence of Mapo Tofu reminded her of her brief experience studying in Japan.
It feels like this dish, along with xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), reflects the Japanese people's stereotypes about Chinese people. Eighty percent of Japanese people who go to Chinese restaurants will order this dish, but the Japanese way of making it is different from the Chinese way; it's not the real Chinese spicy flavor.
Officer Zhu Fu was able to make it taste exactly like Chinese food, which means he must have seriously tasted a proper Chinese meal and recreated it. His skills are really good. But what amazed Feng Xing Shou the most was the sweet and spicy braised fish he made at the end.
The taste was absolutely amazing, one of the best grilled fish she had ever tasted. What was most remarkable was that he somehow managed to grill the fish head bones to a gelatinous state, which, combined with the aroma of half-cooked onions, made it impossible for her to stop eating...
Perhaps it's because the Japanese are very skilled at cooking seafood, or perhaps the ingredients are just better? She remembered that the fish was collected from the kitchen of that luxury cruise ship, so it might be some kind of precious ingredient!
But it's so delicious! Regardless of the price, I'll have to find it often and ask Officer Zhu Fu to show off his skills. I always feel like I want to eat it again after just one night since I first ate it! -_-||
As she pondered these thoughts, she skillfully picked up the crowbar and opened the highway treasure chest that Hagiwara and his friends had dropped when they defeated the dungeon monsters that night. Perhaps it was because the coordinates this time were closer to the future! The quality of the treasure chest and the rewards inside were quite good.
We obtained one blueprint each for the following: roof height space expansion, vehicle-mounted overhead cabinet, vehicle-mounted ventilation fan, fuel heater, temperature-controlled massage seat, and vehicle audio system.
Most of them were still interior furnishings for vehicles or blueprints and production materials needed for living areas. What surprised them the most were the blueprints for expanding the roof height space.
Originally, this vehicle was upgraded using various expansion blueprints and trailers, so that the exterior of the vehicle looked similar to a regular Mazda model, but the interior was actually more spacious than a typical RV.
Even so, the height of the vehicle was somewhat oppressive for the three tall men living inside, even though they were used to living in Japanese-style houses with lower ceilings.
However, the interior space of this vehicle is not comparable to that of a proper house. Moreover, even if people live in Japanese houses, whether they are going to school or working, they are busy every day and basically only go back to sleep during their rest time. They do not stay in the house 24 hours a day.
However, currently, they can only leave the vehicle for one hour each day at noon to get some fresh air. Otherwise, they have to live inside the vehicle. Combined with the weather outside, this means they have to live in the cramped, low-ceilinged vehicle for 23 hours a day.
Not to mention the three grown men, even Feng Xingshou often felt so stuffy that he would open the window to let in the cold air, finding it more comfortable to look at the fog on both sides of the road outside than to keep the windows closed.
After opening the treasure chest this time, she almost waited for Hagiwara and the other two to wake up before immediately using the blueprints to extend the vehicle's height, making it twice as tall as it was after the last star upgrade.
This relieved them from the constant feeling of being squeezed by the roof and afraid to stretch their bodies, which was a pleasant surprise for them...
.
However, to their surprise, when they stopped at the instance coordinates approximately on the morning of April 1, 2015, as planned at noon today, and entered reality, something that was hard to describe as either a surprise or a shock awaited them.
"Huh? Future brother-in-law, did we hear something wrong?" Hagiwara held his phone, unable to believe his ears.
Two minutes ago:
Because they were unaware of the situation in this instance, even though they had already figured out the principle behind how the Wind Star Guardian used their inventory space to transfer them back to the instance dimension during a casual chat with him after dinner the night before.
This time, they decided to do the same as before: enter the real dimension first, without having to transfer back to the instance dimension. So when the instance opened at noon, after Feng Xing Shou entered the instance, he transferred Hagiwara and the other two out of their inventory space again.
Then, as usual, the three of them first observed the surrounding environment. However, after seeing it clearly, both Hagiwara and Matsuda felt a chill run down their spines. Matsuda's crescent-shaped eyes showed his speechlessness, and he directly complained, "Looks like it's another amusement park or something."
"The buildings and facilities are all new, and there are some high-end facilities that didn't exist in Japan before I left. I guess it's newly built!" Hagiwara looked at the Ferris wheel that was slowly turning not far from them. It was more than 10 times larger and more luxurious than the Ferris wheel that almost killed Kojinpei.
The frantic twitching of his right eyelid made him blurt out, "Xiao Zhenping, you are absolutely not allowed to go on the Ferris wheel here today. I have a bad feeling about this."
“We definitely need to be careful. After all, our presence here means that something related to destruction is about to happen here.” Morofushi Kagemitsu said as he looked around at the surrounding buildings of the amusement park.
He immediately recognized it and said, "This must be the Dongdu Aquarium, which was still in the planning stage three years ago! I didn't expect it to be completely built and open for business so quickly. It looks very advanced and must have used a lot of technology that we didn't have in our time."
"Hey! If we take the time loop into account, wouldn't it mean that it took you Japanese a full eight years to build an aquarium?" Feng Xingshou, who was standing to the side, listened to the three of them because they were speaking in Chinese, which she could understand.
Because she could understand it, she was deeply impressed. An aquarium took eight years to build and open to the public, and the police officer thought the construction speed was really fast and the technology was really advanced.
Sorry! She didn't see how this place was more advanced than amusement parks and aquariums of the next 25 years! Nor did she think that it was fast for an aquarium to take 8 years to complete. In China, 8 years would be too late.
Just as Kazesei was feeling greatly shocked by the speed of construction in Japan, Morofushi Kagemitsu realized that he had overlooked the five time cycles from 2014 to 2015 when he heard her question with a look of surprise.
If we include the past few years, wouldn't that mean the project he just praised for its fast pace actually took eight years? -_-|| How embarrassing! But his quick wit prevented him from showing his embarrassment.
