Chapter 245 Highway Survival 2
Chapter 245
Nothing happened. Lin Xia looked at the rest of the panel. Her name was her real name; she didn't have a nickname and couldn't hide it.
But since she could hide her attributes, she immediately chose to do so.
The chat channel was scrolling very fast. Lin Xia saw that most people were calling for help, a few were urging everyone to stay calm, some were saying they had found a treasure chest, and others had found a monster.
Someone said they were unlucky because they were like a beat-up van, which drew criticism from others.
Some said they were a tricycle, some said they were a hand-pushed flatbed cart, some said they were a bouncy car, and some said they were a children's bicycle.
When someone said they were a children's scooter, everyone felt comforted. When someone else said they only had wheels, the scooter was also comforted, at least it had a ride.
Lin Xia glanced at her bicycle and felt quite satisfied.
There was also a trading channel, but it was currently empty. After closing the panel, Lin Xia tried the space, but found it unusable.
She hopped on her bicycle and began building her own personal space as she rode, a space that could be used for fighting and storage—a must-have for home and travel.
She easily created a space, threw her backpack in, and then her bicycle in, but after walking for a short while, she realized that if she threw her bicycle in, it wouldn't count towards her mileage.
She noticed the mileage leaderboard, took out her bicycle, and simply carried it on her shoulder. Luckily, that counted as mileage.
Lin Xia moved extremely fast. She used her mental energy to clear the way ahead, and in the process, she also cleared out the small monsters, found all the supplies in the abandoned vehicles, and the treasure chests dropped by the monsters.
On the leaderboard, Lin Xia's name is far ahead, especially on the mileage leaderboard. Everyone is speculating that Lin Xia must have obtained an interstellar vehicle to be able to travel so fast and kill monsters so quickly.
She sped along, and when she discovered the barrier ahead, Lin Xia's bicycle had been upgraded into a beat-up van. She loosened her grip on the vines, and the van fell to the ground, where Lin Xia stored it in her spatial storage.
This is a dungeon. A quick scan with my mental energy reveals an abandoned city, deserted and uninhabited. It has become a paradise for plants, with various tall plants entwined around the buildings from afar.
Many buildings were pierced by plants and collapsed, but they did not appear to have been abandoned for very long, and the general outline of the city could still be seen.
As soon as Lin Xia stepped into the instance, the noise around her gradually filled the air. It was as if she had returned to her original city, with cars coming and going and crowds of people. At this moment, she was in a vegetable market.
Her mother was buying fish ahead, and her father called out to her, "Xiaxia, come on, what are you standing there for? There are too many people here, or we won't be able to find you later."
Looking at the two of them, Lin Xia was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and sighed. In her mental power, all of this was so fake that it couldn't be more fake.
"Xiaxia, where are you going? Don't wander off. When we get home, Mom will make you your favorite spicy chicken!"
"Xiaxia, you finally come home, can't you spend more time with your parents? They're getting old."
"Xiaxia, I saw a really pretty dress while shopping the other day. I think it would suit you perfectly. I'll buy some groceries and then send Dad home first. You and I can go try it on."
"Xiaxia, if you feel tired, just come back. Daddy will take care of you..."
"Xiaxia..."
"Xiaxia..."
"Xiaxia, stay here, Mommy misses you."
...
Lin Xia's expression grew increasingly cold. With a focused mental energy, all outward emotions vanished, and the panic on her parents' faces gradually disappeared.
With a push of her feet, she instantly appeared in front of a giant dandelion, its tiny parachutes almost filling the entire space.
Just as Lin Xia stepped into the instance space, the little umbrellas began to float around. At this time, many of them floated around Lin Xia, transforming into individual figures and telling Lin Xia about their longing and the pain of separation.
Every word was an attempt to persuade her to stay. Lin Xia looked at the dandelion, which exuded longing and sorrow.
It is not aggressive at all; it can only create illusions, making people willingly stay and become immersed in them.
This dungeon is not difficult at all. As long as you are determined, even without mental recognition, as long as you successfully exit the dungeon, you will have cleared it.
But the inner demons of the human heart are often difficult to overcome, and there are always those who are willing to indulge in illusions.
However, such people will probably wake up when they are about to starve to death.
Lin Xia thought for a moment and decided not to destroy the instance, because she didn't know whether destroying it would create an identical one or randomly create a different instance.
Instead of destroying it, why not release a walkthrough? After all, it's a very simple dungeon.
As she turned to leave, she heard voices trying to persuade her to stay, especially her parents. Lin Xia paused for a moment, then strode away.
Posting the dungeon guide in the chat channel quickly got it pinned to the top.
These things were too simple; for Lin Xia, they were practically a speedrun. She couldn't quite understand why she was here simply to help the world.
The time limit is one year, but she can't really stay here that long.
Wanting to continue forward, Lin Xia suddenly felt that suppressive force again, and she obediently stopped.
With nothing else to do, I used basic supplies to exchange for a bunch of materials to upgrade my car, turning my beat-up van into a campervan.
She redeemed another autopilot system, lay in the RV, and let it drive itself, retrieving treasure chests and killing monsters whenever it saw them.
What was left was some fuel, which Lin Xia exchanged for a lot of.
Bored, she looked at the chat channel. Many people had special talents, and some had skills that allowed them to make things, such as armor or vehicle-mounted weapons.
Lin Xia looked at her bare panel. Well, she was an illegal immigrant, so it's normal that she didn't have one.
She had already tried; she was forbidden from cultivating and unable to draw energy from her subconscious sea. With nothing to do, Lin Xia could only lie down.
Only then did she have time to review her discoveries in the Colosseum.
The fact that the items that could be exchanged were exactly the same made Lin Xia suspect that the survival system was related to the person who created the 'Colosseum'.
After all, the number of items in their world is too large; it couldn't have been done by someone trapped in the arena, could it? That remains to be determined.
Another question is why they entered the 'Colosseum' later than others. Was this intentionally orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, or...?
Lin Xia looked at the world and thought about the deadline, the one-year time limit.
So, what was captured by the arena—the limits of their strength, or... the end of their time?
If it's the latter, then their time limit for this world has expired? Otherwise, why would she and Atong appear in the arena? This also needs to be explored later.
Then there's the issue she cares about most: her mental strength. She seems to be different from others in this regard.
Are these differences unique to each individual, or are they different for each spiritual user or world guardian?
