Chapter 52 Hagiwara is angry
"Huh? Washing machine and dryer?" Although it's not the fully automatic front-loading smart washing machine used in my time, it's still good to have a convenient tool for washing clothes. Last night, I was forced to wear dirty clothes again after taking a shower.
If it weren't for the fact that the women's clothes she found in the copy of the Japanese apartment were too tight for her to fit into, and even if she could fit into them, they wouldn't look good on her, it would have affected her self-esteem as a woman, even if the other person was younger than her.
She didn't want the two handsome police officers to see her embarrassingly obese appearance, so she changed out of her clothes and hand-washed her own clothes, since she had collected laundry detergent.
At the time, I was feeling frustrated and complaining about how thin Japanese women were. I thought it would be better if they were a little fatter so I could collect larger sizes to wear. I wondered if it was true what they said in the short videos about Japanese people not eating enough and being thin from starvation... and other such resentments.
I never expected to get a washing machine and dryer today. Now, even if I can't wear other people's clothes, I can wash and dry my coat in the washing machine first, and then wear my own clean clothes and hand wash my underwear.
Ahem... As for the issue of having to go commando during the process, let's just ignore it! Oh, and I'm also happy that we can finally have a dedicated laundry room, so the washing machine and dryer won't crowd out this already cramped space.
There's still something I don't understand about this bedroom extension. It's about adding 5 square meters of space to the area near the sofa bed... Feng Xingshou pondered the meaning of these drawings while learning them one by one.
However, after finishing her lesson, she glanced at Hagiwara and Matsuda, who were still fast asleep, and decided to get out of the car quietly. She decided to wait until they woke up before upgrading the car's functions. For now, she could manufacture the washing machine, dryer, single folding bed, mattress, and the like. They would definitely be more comfortable than a sofa bed!
However, after she got out of the car, she realized that it wasn't because she had gotten up early, but because it was cloudy outside with rain and snow. Through the tinted windows, it looked like it was still dark. After getting out of the car, she could see that the sky looked very similar to the cloudy sky she had seen the previous evening, but not the kind of dark that comes with a black sky.
It was at this moment that she felt she had discovered the benefits of upgrading her initial vehicle to level one, because despite the fact that it had been snowing all night, there was no snow or rain on the outside of her level one vehicle, whether it was snow pellets or freezing rain.
The car body, windows, and tires were all spotless, giving the impression of an upgraded vehicle with a seamless effect where rain and snow would automatically slide off and leave no trace. This was quite nice; in the event of a snowstorm or similar disaster, there was no need to worry about the car being buried or frozen in snow.
Knowing it was morning, she figured Hagiwara and Matsuda were still sleeping and it wouldn't be convenient to wake them. Cooking outside the car was also inconvenient due to the rain and snow, so she simply opened the game panel outside the car.
Let's see if, after a night, the people on the regional channel have calmed down from the joy of being able to speak and communicate with others, and started discussing some meaningful topics. Please, don't post those pointless topics from yesterday! -_-||
Feng Xingshou opened the regional chat channel with some unease. He found that the chat was being sent at an even faster pace than yesterday, making it difficult to keep up. He simply ignored the speakers' IDs, i.e., their names, and went straight to the content on the screen:
{It's so cold! Weren't they supposed to drop only one degree per day? How can there be a snowstorm with rain and snow that lasts all day long?}
This is so abnormal; there's never any weather like this in the real world.
{This is just a game; abnormalities are normal. If it were like real-world weather, what kind of survival game would it be?}
{It's so cold! I brought back a thick blanket from the dungeon, but I'm still shivering from the cold even when I'm sleeping under it at night.}
The temperature is only one degree lower than yesterday.
{Classic
The southern climate is characterized by damp and cold.
{Um...I have a question, has anyone else experienced water seepage in their cars? I don't know what happened, but when I woke up this morning, there were small water droplets on the roof and windows, and everything in the car was damp.}
{Same here, that's just how the weather is.}
{Also, the car's quality is too poor; it's probably not waterproof or moisture-proof.}
What are we going to do? The disaster season has only just begun and it's already this difficult; how are we going to cope with the rest of the season?
…………
Feng Xingshou saw that everyone was racking their brains over the change of weather. He thought that although three people had to squeeze into his car and it was a bit cramped, the conditions in all aspects were much better than what everyone else said.
Especially last night, even without turning on the air conditioning, the car didn't feel cold or damp, and there were no watermarks or droplets anywhere inside. This must be thanks to the upgraded car and new interior furnishings.
If everyone's cars were like that, people would suffer less. However, when it comes to interior design, if you're playing a nighttime game and don't have modern weapons or ranged weapons like bows and arrows, telling people about it might actually lead to innocent deaths.
With this in mind, she simply used a concise Chinese style, close to classical Chinese, to write down the car blueprints within the game's word limit, so that the car parts could be repeatedly made after learning them.
The upgraded Tier 1 vehicles are more resistant to this climate. Those with surplus materials can trade for parts, while those who need to stockpile materials can process some car parts and charge processing fees to produce more car parts for everyone.
She didn't just talk the talk; after posting that message, she went to the trading area and started trading various materials. Then she processed the materials she bought into various car parts and put them into the trading list...
Fortunately, if it's not for upgrading your own car, the crafted car parts will automatically appear in front of you as treasure chests of the corresponding level, so you don't have to worry about waking up the two people who were definitely up all night playing dungeons.
However, I always feel that the so-called processing into parts is actually just exchanging materials directly with the game organizers to get the finished parts, and then the game organizers just teleport the treasure chests containing the finished parts over! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
While mentally complaining, she repeatedly exchanged materials, processed them into various parts, and traded them out, trying to earn some materials in this way. Of course, the most important thing was to increase the number of level 1 vehicles in the area as much as possible.
In any case, the more difficult it is for everyone to upgrade their vehicles, the more I will help everyone upgrade their vehicles as quickly as possible. Doing the opposite of what the game intends might bring unexpected benefits.
As for the other side of the story, it might be a bit funny. She felt that she had the advantage of having a golden touch and the two police officers being quite capable. Compared to everyone else, what advantage could someone who couldn't even drive have?
Thinking about it carefully, I realize that I'm only living comfortably compared to other survivors because of my cheat-like abilities and the presence of Hagiwara and Matsuda. Perhaps I've even taken away some of their chance to survive. I hope this can make up for it...
With this in mind, after Hagiwara and Matsuda woke up, Kazeki, whose chubby face was red from the cold outside the car, also made a considerable gain, earning a full 370 units of black iron and 290 units of bronze.
420 units of plastic, 210 units of rubber, 200 units of glass, 60 units of chemicals, 130 units of electronic components, and 560 units of fuel. She hadn't originally planned to trade fuel.
However, seeing many messages on the regional channel about people not having enough materials but having plenty of fuel and hoping to trade for spare parts, I simply processed some materials into spare parts and exchanged them for fuel.
It just so happens that Hagiwara and Matsuda both said that after the car was upgraded...
Fuel consumption has increased significantly. If the air conditioning is on for extended periods, the daily fuel consumption will be quite astonishing. Hopefully, we won't have to worry about running out of fuel anytime soon! -_-||
In addition, although she doesn't need to cook now, she is worried that the air conditioner might malfunction or stop working later because the weather will continue to get colder. So she specially traded about 900 units of wood that can be processed into charcoal.
.
When Hagiwara woke up and saw that Kaze-chan wasn't in the car, he quickly got dressed and got out to look for her. As soon as he opened the car door, he saw her leaning against the car body, her chubby face already red from the cold, and her ears were also red and purple. He didn't care that there were still some materials at her feet that hadn't been organized into the storage box.
He pulled her straight into the car and worriedly took a towel to dry her hair: "Feng-chan! How long have you been outside? Look, your hair is soaked, and your face and ears are a little purple. It's raining and snowing outside, be careful of frostbite!"
"I can dry it myself." Feeling Hagiwara's large hands gently wiping his hair with a towel, Kazesei Mori's face not only turned red from the cold, but also felt extremely hot.
After all, apart from her brother's stormy hair-drying method after her bath when she was little, which almost ripped her hair out, no one had ever taken such intimate care of her before.
Not to mention this kind of young, handsome, tall man with a broad chest that makes her, who is quite overweight, seem like someone she could embrace. This overly intimate distance makes her heart pound.
Seeing her fingers trembling slightly as she reached for the towel in his hand, Hagiwara did not refuse. However, after letting Kazehoshi take the towel, he did not stop. He quickly took the thin blanket he had used last night and draped it over her, wrapping her up completely.
"..." It's nice that it suddenly got warmer, but... Feng Xingshou couldn't help but reveal his beady eyes, complaining with a look of accusation: "You've wrapped me up like this, how am I supposed to dry my hair!"
"It's alright! I can help." Hagiwara raised an eyebrow as he took the towel back, indicating that he did it on purpose. He then proceeded to trap the wrapped-up Fuusei in the massage chair in the small living room and wiped away the moisture from her body even more intimately than before.
Feng Xingshou dodged left and right, but each time it seemed as if she was willingly offering herself to him. At this moment, although her body temperature had clearly returned to normal, the redness and heat on her face and ears just wouldn't go down...
"Pfft!" Matsuda, who was casually tidying his curly hair, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and kindly advised, "Fū-chan! Hagiwara may be very good-tempered usually, but he can be quite scary when he's angry. Don't really provoke him."
Especially in this kind of environment where you know you're in a difficult situation and medical care is scarce, no matter what the reason, you must not allow yourself to be exposed to disease. Remember, even a common cold can be fatal if there's a lack of medical resources.
As he said this, his face became serious, like that of a police officer.
Seeing his police officer expression, Feng Xingshou subconsciously looked up at Hagiwara and saw that he still had a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. He was really angry, just as Matsuda had said.
This scared away her nonchalant attitude. She reflected on herself and realized that she had the power to control immortality and knew that she was not afraid of getting sick, so she chose to go outside and get rained on for a while so as not to disturb their rest.
She felt it was just a trivial matter, but they didn't know that. After reflecting on her actions, Feng Xingshou sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't do anything reckless again. I promise you."
But who would 'teach' someone a lesson this way when they're angry?! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
