“No, it won’t cut through…” Xi Xi sighed helplessly and slowly put away the light blade scythe that was flashing with indigo light.
She shook her head gently, turned around and picked up the fragrant scallion pancake with duck egg, then walked back to the car with slightly tired steps.
As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, the temperature gradually rose.
Who would have thought? The locked intermediate treasure chest that I obtained after going through so many hardships last night would be so sturdy, as if it were covered by an indestructible protective shield. No matter how I pry, chop, or strike it, it is difficult to budge it in the slightest.
After trying various methods, Xi Xi finally felt somewhat powerless, and the thought of giving up gradually arose in her mind.
It seems that to open this mysterious treasure chest, we first need to find the key that can unlock the iron lock.
But where could this key be? Xi Xi fell into deep thought.
Last night, while fighting off that shadowy monster, I lost my flashlight in the heat of the moment. Without a stable and reliable source of light, my plan to explore the desert at night had to be abandoned halfway.
At this moment, Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have known better than to give the USB emergency light to Cheng Xu.
However, there was no point in thinking about it anymore, so it was better to accept reality... In the early hours of the morning, Xi Xi hurriedly fled that dangerous area and found a relatively safe and stable place to stop.
After settling everything in, she released the eager little white ducklings as usual, then tidied up and went to sleep...
Xi Xi sat back in the car, gazing leisurely at the sunlight outside the window. After a moment, she reached out and pulled down the curtains, shutting out the glaring light from the car.
Xi Xi slowly ate her scallion and duck egg pancake. This was a rare breakfast she was in the mood to make.
The golden-brown crust is garnished with bright green scallions, crispy yet slightly chewy, and filled with ham—it's delicious and flavorful...
While swallowing hard, Xi Xi opened the light screen to sign in and draw her fortune slip for the day.
[Game Tip: Congratulations to the adventurer for receiving a draw; your luck will remain constant for the rest of the day.]
[Auspicious Blessing: Congratulations, host, you have received a fortune slip The small joys of an ordinary day. Stamina +50 for today.]
This was Xi Xi's first time drawing a "neutral" fortune slip. Although there was no luck bonus, the "Blessing with a Wise Pen" system gave her an extra 50 stamina, which was a rare stroke of luck in a sense.
Xi Xi couldn't help but think to herself: Perhaps today is a better day to explore the night road than yesterday.
After yesterday's events, Xi Xi had to reopen her personal profile and examine it carefully. Fortunately, she was not cursed today.
Xi Xi still has no clear clue as to who cast the curse yesterday, since everyone on the blacklist is a suspect.
However, judging from Xi Xi's flamboyant behavior on the public screen yesterday, selling scorpion meat and ice, that person must be furious behind the screen.
Thinking this, Xi Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud. After pondering for a moment, she swallowed the duck egg pancake in a few bites, then quickly opened the trading hall and kept refreshing the page. Finally, she successfully exchanged a pack of instant noodles for a headlamp.
She tried on the headlamp; although it didn't look very nice and was a bit clumsy, it seemed quite practical.
Xi Xi nodded with satisfaction, then opened the stone knife trading page and found that she had successfully sold 3 stone knives last night, exchanging them for a heating talisman, a cooling talisman, and an invisibility talisman.
[Item Description: Single-use consumable. After use, a two-square-meter area centered on the talisman will be heated for 30 minutes.]
[Item Note: Disposable consumable. After use, it will cool a two-square-meter area centered on the talisman for 30 minutes.]
Xi Xi glanced at the newly acquired talismans briefly, then without hesitation, gathered them together with the other talismans she had collected before, and carefully stuffed them into her pocket.
After doing all this, Xi Xi secretly made up her mind that she would lie down and do nothing today, trying her best to conserve her energy for the day.
She glanced at the little white duck, who was drowsy after a good meal. It was comfortably nestled on the carpet, its head drooping as it dozed off.
That's right. Xi Xi has decided to spend today learning from the little white duck, thoroughly implementing the concept of going to bed early and getting up late, and promoting the spirit of "night duck".
So she activated the autopilot mode, then slowly lowered all the curtains in the car, reclined the seat to a comfortable angle, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Don't make any other notification sounds except for treasure chests," she instructed the central control screen in a slightly languid voice. Then she lay down, and after closing her eyes for a short while, she seemed to remember something and leaned out to add, "Oh, and call me when you come across a supply station."
After saying that, she lay back down in the same spot like a lump of mud and pretended to sleep.
However, after tossing and turning for a long time, Xi Xi still couldn't fall asleep. Helpless, she had no choice but to sit up again, prop her head up, and stare at the slowly moving car coordinates on the pixel map, lost in a daze.
Just then, Xi Xi suddenly remembered the system. Right, she hadn't drawn anything today.
Picking up the quill pen again, a sly glint flashed in Xi Xi's eyes. She took out a Doraemon comic book, selected a page with a close-up of Doraemon, and planned to trace the picture directly with the quill pen, stroke by stroke.
However, no matter how she tried, the quill pen in her hand simply couldn't produce any ink. Xi Xi shook the pen, puzzled. She muttered, "What's wrong? Out of ink?"
