[System Notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained Thunder Fang Mace *1]
[Successfully obtained a Prestige Item*1. Congratulations, adventurer, for gaining 200 Survival Points.]
Xi Xi was overjoyed, and a sense of accomplishment after painting with her heart was welling up inside her.
At this moment, something that looked like a rolling pin slowly emerged from the painting composed of light.
It seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, falling little by little downwards, and finally landing steadily in her palm.
Oh my, this rolling pin is really heavy... Xi Xi felt her wrist suddenly sink down, and she quickly tried to straighten it back, barely managing to regain her balance.
Then, Xi Xi lowered her head and examined the bare "rolling pin" in her hand.
The rolling pin was very hard, as if it were carefully carved from the heartwood of an old tree, heavy and dark in color.
But no matter how Xi Xi examined it, she couldn't tell it was a spiked club...
[Item Description: Telescopic spiked club. It automatically generates electrified teeth when extended; please use with caution.]
Extend? How can it extend? Xi Xi wondered to herself, and with some doubt, she swung the rolling pin forward, only to find that it instantly extended into a long stick.
Xi Xi was startled. She looked closely and saw that the tip of the rod had rings of sharp spikes protruding mechanically, like the teeth of a wolf pack, gleaming with a cold light.
How cool! Xi Xi held it in her hand and played with it for a while.
This spiked club is about 1.2 meters long and slightly smaller in diameter than an adult's fist. Its sharp teeth are electrified and can paralyze enemies. It can be said that apart from being too heavy, it has no other drawbacks.
However, deep down, Xi Xi still prefers her own lightweight and easy-to-use laser blade scythe.
She opened the light screen and passed the Thunder Wolf Fang Mace to her mother, who was far away, and explained in detail to her mother the changes that had occurred to the Lone Wolf Barrier.
At the same time, Xi Xi also learned from her mother about the trivial things that happened on the public screen last night.
It turns out that ever since the mileage leaderboard was released, many players have started traveling under the cover of night. Overnight, rumors of locked treasure chests spread throughout the public chat.
Since that's the case, Xi Xi decided not to hide it anymore. She went back to the public chat and posted several messages saying "Looking for locked treasure chests long-term" before leisurely eating her breakfast.
At this moment, the car stereo was playing the newly acquired T-edition compilation CD of famous songs, with melodious tunes flowing gently through the air.
Xi Xi sat upright in the spacious and comfortable business seat, holding a steaming bowl of millet porridge in one hand and gently stirring it with a spoon in the other.
She savored the sweet rice porridge, her gaze fixed on the boundless desert outside the car window.
The rolling sand dunes resembled frozen waves, a monotonous expanse of yellow that was truly monotonous. The sky, however, was an exceptionally clear and deep blue, a rare sight even in the Spring City, renowned for its pleasant climate.
Xi Xi couldn't help but look up through the car window.
She put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.
The sun's position seems a bit off.
Based on her years of experience and keen intuition, she felt that the car seemed to be going in the wrong direction.
Xi Xi immediately moved closer to the central control screen, her gaze falling on the directional marker in the lower left corner of the pixel map.
Sure enough, just as she had feared, her car drove along the road and somehow veered off course from due east, heading further and further away in the northeast direction.
Wouldn't this take us further and further away from our destination, Dongli? Xi Xi sensed something was wrong.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that there was no other way but to keep going straight along this road. Xi Xi shook her head, forced herself to put her anxious thoughts aside, and continued eating her breakfast.
While swallowing the rice porridge in her mouth, Xi Xi opened the refrigerator door and took out a box of minced meat.
She added an appropriate amount of water to the minced meat, stirred it well, and divided it into two portions, feeding one portion to Aura and the other to the little white duck.
Aura doesn't like to drink water, so Xi Xi had to use this method to trick it into drinking more. Fortunately, the little white duck drank very happily, and Xi Xi felt a little more relaxed.
Afterwards, Xi Xi began to take stock of her few remaining basic supplies. She had quite a bit of wood left, but only three pieces of stone.
In fact, she had previously selected some harder sandstone in an attempt to use it instead of ordinary stone to make weapons for sale, but the workbench could not recognize it, so she had to give up in the end.
Xi Xi felt that it was best not to take any rash actions before finding a reliable and stable stone supply channel.
Otherwise, once all stone resources are exhausted, survival will become extremely difficult if needed.
With these thoughts in mind, she methodically organized and properly stored all the supplies.
Just then, a treasure chest notification sound suddenly came from the central control screen. Xi Xi immediately turned her head to look and saw a treasure chest icon flashing in the upper right corner of the map on the screen.
However, what truly caught Xi Xi's attention was not the treasure chest itself, but the fact that the pixel map surrounding the chest had a distinct color difference from the vast, boundless sandy landscape around it.
Xi Xi couldn't help but feel curious and began to carefully compare and observe.
This area appears as a unique khaki color on the pixel map. It is neither the reddish-brown of mixed sand and gravel areas nor the golden yellow of ordinary sand. Instead, it is somewhere between brownish-brown and sandy yellow, making it quite special.
Xi Xi was quite certain that she had never encountered this kind of terrain before.
In an instant, a strong desire to explore surged into my heart like a tide.
Without hesitation, she sprang into action, quickly and nimbly packing her belongings. Then, she nimbly jumped out of the car and expertly retrieved her skateboard from the roof storage compartment.
Xi Xi took out the remaining talismans, pulled out the vehicle talisman, and stuck it on her van.
The vehicle talisman hovered in mid-air, emitting a faint and mysterious light.
In the blink of an eye, flames erupted all around the car, the fire raging fiercely as if it would engulf the entire vehicle.
The sparks did not spread outwards, but instead, as if drawn by some powerful force, they continuously converged towards the talisman.
As the last wisp of fire entered the talisman, the talisman, which had been frozen in the air, instantly lost its luster and floated down as if it had lost its support.
Xi Xi caught the talisman with one hand.
Only then did they realize that the totem on the talisman had changed. The originally simple and abstract lines now outlined the image of a lifelike commercial vehicle, like a beautiful ink painting presented in the center of the talisman.
"You draw so well..." Xi Xi exclaimed with a hint of envy. These days, even Huangmao Paper can draw better than her...
She turned on the light screen camera and took a picture of the talisman.
Just then, a meowing sound suddenly came from beside her. Xi Xi was startled and turned around to look.
On the ground where the car disappeared, a cat and a duck sat bewildered.
