Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 10 Cold Wave Arrives
The system broadcasts a message precisely at 6:00 AM every day.

Upon hearing the sound, Yuanqiao got up and stretched, but was woken up by the cold several times in the latter half of the night.

Considering how cold it is today and I still have to ride my bike on the road all day, my desire to upgrade my vehicle is extremely strong.

[Use the skill [Lucky Aura]]

[Received Lucky Aura x1, valid for 02:00:00. Wear now?]

Yuanqiao believed she would become very lucky within two hours and chose to wear it immediately.

I happened to be using the [God of Wealth's Blessing] skill while wearing a lucky aura; I wonder if it provides any luck bonus.

[Use the skill [Blessed by the God of Wealth]]

"Wealth, wealth, wealth comes from all directions!"

Yuanqiao loved this mnemonic so much that he recited it several times with great vigor.

[Skill successfully used. Congratulations, player, you have received 88 gold coins.]

Wow! This number is auspicious!

"The dream of having money to spend even while lying down after graduation may one day come true!"

I hugged the little bunny and gave its bottom a good pat.

Yuanqiao held the small pile of gold coins and exclaimed with starry eyes,

"I don't know if I'm here to survive in the game or to enjoy myself. When will I finally see Nanxi? I ​​really want to show off~"

After packing everything up and getting dressed, I pushed my bicycle and prepared to set off to collect the treasure chest.

Less than 5 minutes into the ride, a silver treasure chest appeared on the side of the road ahead.

This is the joy of wearing a "lucky halo"!
[Congratulations, player! You have received 2 Deluxe Packages, 1 Cotton-padded Jacket Blueprint, 8 Rubber Items, and 2 Electric Hot Water Bottles]

This place has both food and heating supplies, wow!

Yuanqiao put the blueprint into the system backpack and other supplies into the space button. The blueprint cannot be used yet; the vehicle needs to be upgraded to level 3 before a crafting table can be accessed.

With a little effort, you can turn a bicycle into a tricycle today!
[Tier 3 Vehicle Upgrade Materials: Energy Battery x20, Iron Block x50, Glass x15, Rubber x20, Silver Coins x30]

We lack everything except silver coins.

Yuanqiao wasted no time and continued driving.

After wearing the aura, the probability of treasure chests appearing increased significantly. Yuanqiao found a total of 1 gold treasure chest, 2 silver treasure chests, and 4 bronze treasure chests in an hour and a half, but no ordinary wooden treasure chests.

I had a lucky half hour to unpack it.

Congratulations to the player who has won!

There were also various snacks and foods, enough for Yuanqiao to eat for half a month.

The arrival of a series of supplies brought a smile to Yuanqiao's face.

Organize and store items in the storage compartments and backpack.

After the lucky streak wore off, prepare yourself for a decline in luck and continue your journey.

Yuanqiao, who hadn't found a single treasure chest from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., was starting to doubt his life. Could it be that his lucky streak of the past two hours was just a compressed version of his luck throughout the entire day?

My stomach was rumbling, so I took out a deluxe meal to soothe my disappointment.

As expected of a product from the system, the deluxe set meal is a single serving, with small appetizers paired with seafood-themed main courses, and sweet soup and fruit after the meal. Yuanqiao gave it a crazy five-star rating.

After a hearty meal, I noticed many people in the lobby discussing the player trading market.

The player trading market opens on the last day of the beginner period.

[Pomegranate: Click on my profile picture to enter my homepage. I was lucky enough to get a sanitary napkin pattern. I made 100 packs today. Sisters who need them can trade directly through the window.] [Li Tongtong: Ah! Thank you so much, big sister! I really need this!]

[Qian Yue: Thanks, expert! +1. So, are cotton and energy batteries the only tradeable items?]

[Pomegranate: Currently needs cotton and batteries. If you have any medicine, we can discuss a private message for a trade.]

[Chen Yixun: Pomegranate, the master, has already upgraded to level 3 vehicles and is using a crafting table! As expected of a master, always ahead of everyone else, I admire him!]

Upon seeing this, Yuanqiao quickly clicked on Shiliu's profile picture. Although her period hadn't started yet, she definitely needed to have this on hand.

[Transaction for 1 pack of sanitary napkins (31 remaining): 5 cotton balls, 2 energy batteries]

In just a short while, only 31 packs remained, and Yuanqiao quickly traded 2 packs.

The player trading market has a separate window that can be browsed just like the in-game store, or you can view it by clicking on your avatar's profile page in the lobby.

There are very few items available for sale right now, and the only way to trade is through barter. It costs 50 gold coins to enable the trading function.

He had enough gold coins, so he clicked to activate it, but his vehicle hadn't been upgraded yet and he didn't have a crafting table. Thinking of the blueprints in his backpack, Yuanqiao sighed slightly.

As long as you can craft items or list unwanted resources on the trading market, you can trade for the resources you need and collect the materials you want faster than opening chests.

There was plenty of wood in my backpack, and I didn't have any other goods I wanted to trade, so I hung a sign in the window:
[Wood 20/piece (5 remaining) Trade: Glass x2 or Rubber x2]

He then closed the system panel and continued his search for the treasure chest.

In the afternoon, a cold wind suddenly howled in, much like a game that had just loaded and the map had changed.

Yuanqiao, whose hands were so frozen he could no longer grip the handlebars, stopped and took out a tent to block the wind.

The temperature dropped rapidly, and snowflakes began to fall on the road, soon forming a thin layer of ice on the ground.

Yuanqiao looked at this scene with a serious expression. The road had changed so much, but less than ten minutes had passed!

I don't know how low it is below zero right now, but even wearing a down jacket and wrapped in a quilt, my body is so cold that I can hardly feel anything.

Before entering the game, Yuanqiao was a native of the South and had never been in such cold temperatures before, so he couldn't estimate how low it would be.

Frozen's thinking was a bit slow. He took out a hot water bottle to recharge his energy battery and opened the chat lobby to check on other people's situations.

[Chen Wei: Brother, please, please make some more stoves and put them in the trading market.]

[Shen Yaozu: Begging me is useless. The furnace needs coal to make it, and I don't even have the raw materials. How can I make it for you? It's a matter of life and death. The others are unwilling to trade coal to me. What can I do?]

[Liu Zihao: You trade one piece of wood for one lump of coal, but the stove you make requires 100 energy batteries to trade. Only a fool would make that deal. Profiting from a disaster like this, do you have any conscience?]

[Shen Yaozu: If you're not happy, don't come begging to me. If you're so capable, go get the blueprints yourself and sell them cheaply to other players.]

[Shen Wei: I'm freezing to death! I don't want to die! Does anyone have any heating equipment? I have a weapon blueprint; I'll trade it for it!]

[Pomegranate: What weapon blueprints are you upstairs? DM me.]

【…】

A stove? Ah, right, I can buy some heating equipment and items. Du Yuanqiao, who was frozen stiff, quickly opened the system store, not caring about the prices.

I saw a thermostatic suit for 30 gold coins, so I bought it.

Small Sun Warm Light, requires 5 gold coins, buy it.

After changing into the thermostatic suit, Yuanqiao finally felt alive again. It was a bit expensive, but no matter whether the environment was -70 degrees Celsius or 70 degrees Celsius, it could keep the body temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius.

The Cold Wave Disaster Edition Highway Survival event has begun and will continue until the next instance opens.

The system announcement has been updated.

[Attention all players, the cold wave will end when the next dungeon opens. While striving to survive, please remember to keep moving!]
