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

Chapter 11 Deluxe Tricycle
[The beginner phase of the Highway Survival game ends tomorrow. Surviving players can actively participate in the upcoming "Wealth Competition" and "Milestone" events, which will last for 7 days. Wealth and Mileage leaderboards will be available after the update.]

"Wealth Ranking? I wonder if I can even make it into the top ten in the whole district."

Thinking about his lucky aura combined with the God of Wealth's blessing skill, Yuanqiao was very confident that he could at least make it into the top fifty.

"The mileage leaderboard is probably ranked based on the total distance players have traveled, not on who has the better vehicle."

Yuanqiao, who had just finished lunch, was somewhat surprised to see that all the timber listed on the free market had been traded.

Wood is the easiest resource to obtain from resource chests, and chests themselves can also be broken down into wood.

It hadn't even been half an hour since it was hung up.

After browsing through the chat logs, I found that most heating equipment requires wood and coal, and coal is a scarce resource during this cold disaster, making wood a hot-selling item.

I still have a full slot for 99 pieces of wood left in my backpack, so I'll keep it for myself and not trade it.

That stove is a great thing; it only consumes wood to keep warm. If you're trading with other players, you should definitely get one.

I exchanged some hand warmers at the trading market, and the two hot water bottles from the two systems were also fully charged and can be used for six hours.

I took out the hiking backpack I used before, put Tuanzai inside, and slung it over my shoulder with only its rabbit head sticking out from the front. Tuanzai seemed to like it, constantly tilting its head and rubbing against its owner.

After wrapping myself up, I got on my bicycle and started riding on the road, which was covered with a thin layer of ice. Even wearing thermal clothing, it was still freezing cold to ride a bike in the wind.

I have to say, thankfully there was an autonomous driving system. Although the speed decreased, it was very smooth, and I didn't slip and fall as I had imagined.

Fortunately, although the drive was difficult, the afternoon was quite fruitful.

One silver treasure chest, one bronze treasure chest, and six wooden treasure chests.

Because of the cold weather, Yuanqiao opened the boxes all at once during dinner after collecting everything.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Advanced Vehicle Optimization Card, 44 Coal Blocks, 11 Glass Blocks, 2 Vegetable Salads, 5 Boxes of Hand Warmers, 3 Milk Blocks, 61 Wood Blocks, 22 Iron Blocks, 11 Energy Batteries, and 12 Cotton Blocks]

An unexpected incident occurred at a wooden treasure chest in the middle, which revealed a monster rat with a 91% level of contamination.

The monster rat was small, and Yuanqiao was too bulky wearing too many clothes. The psionic gun was useless because of his poor aim.

In the end, Tuanzai made his appearance, using his speed and size to overpower Yuanqiao and help him catch him. Finally, he finished him off with a close-range psionic gun headshot.

After disassembling, Yuanqiao looked at the dirty fur on Tuanzai's body and had a headache. Although it was not contaminated, he still had to clean off the dirt!
It stinks!
Yuanqiao, who hasn't taken a shower in the week since starting the game, said that he not only dislikes the group but also dislikes himself.

Fortunately, this round of loot boxes allowed Yuanqiao to gather all the supplies needed to upgrade his vehicle, and the few missing rubber items were quickly traded on the free market.

I waited there for half an hour.

Vehicle upgrade successful

[Is the player using an advanced vehicle optimization card?]

[Advanced Vehicle Optimization Card: After use, it optimizes the vehicle to the best version for the current level]

No wonder some players in the chat lobby have avatars that show them as level 2 vehicles, but instead show them as electric cars, motorcycles, or similar vehicles.

This is a vehicle optimization card I just got from a silver treasure chest. I won't be able to gather the resources to upgrade to the next level so quickly, so I'll just optimize the level 3 vehicle directly.

[Vehicle advanced optimization successful]

The ordinary pedal tricycle in front of us has been optimized and directly replaced with a brand new and bright super-luxury Tier 3 vehicle.

Yuanqiao was overjoyed.

The entire vehicle is fully enclosed; except for the single-seat design at the front, the entire rear row is transformed into a two-meter-high cabin with glass windows, and the orange exterior is very cute.

I got into the car with my little one. The single seat was very spacious. Yuanqiao and my little one sat down. The screen for the automatic driving system was next to the steering wheel, and its functions were the same as before.

Opening the rear door revealed a surprising surprise.

There were no seats in the carriage; it was an empty carriage, about 10 square meters in size.

Although it's a bit illogical, we're in a game now.

Yuanqiao adapted well by taking out the necessary supplies from the storage compartment. The space in the back of the carriage could be easily converted into a single room for resting. Remembering that some players in the free market had acquired furniture, Yuanqiao decided to buy all his living supplies in one go today.

The crafting station that comes with the level 3 vehicle was placed in a corner by Yuanqiao, with two planting pots placed next to it as well.

Wooden bed 1.2m x 2m (with 1 extra)

Trade: 30 pieces of wood or 5 pieces of coal

Double-layered glass coffee table (1 left)

Trade: 8 Cotton or 2 Energy Cells

After I put them back together, I saw another player offering to trade "outdoor portable toilets." The player didn't specify the item being traded but instead noted that I should message them privately if I wanted one.

At this moment, Yuanqiao really needed this, so he sent a friend request.

The other party accepted the request instantly; the name looked familiar.

[Yuanqiao: Hello, what supplies are available for trade for this portable outdoor toilet?]

[Chen Wei: I need food and drinking water]

Yuanqiao had no shortage of food, so I considered it carefully.

[Yuanqiao: 3 bottles of mineral water, 10 jin of rice, is that okay?]

[Chen Wei: Add a little more, 5 bottles of mineral water, 20 jin of rice, and do you have any fruit? Oranges or something.]

Yuanqiao frowned; he wasn't good at bargaining.

[Yuanqiao: That's all. Food is very precious during this natural disaster. I can only give you a maximum of 4 bottles of mineral water, 10 kilograms of rice, and 5 loaves of bread.]

Chen Wei looked at the other party's message with some hesitation.

However, I was really short of food. I could open three portable toilets and other miscellaneous items, but the food I could get was not enough to fill my stomach.

The player named Yuanqiao was currently offering the highest price. After thinking about it, he agreed to the trade.

The food we have is only enough for one meal, and we can't wait any longer; the road conditions are terrible, and with our current luck, it's too difficult to find a treasure chest with food.

Chen Wei: Okay, thank you. Let's trade then. Can we exchange the bread for some fruit? To get some vitamins.

Yuanqiao often peeked into the chat lobby and knew that the other person seemed to frequently complain about their bad luck.

As mentioned earlier, when submitting the goods for the transaction, I gave the other party two oranges.

[Chen Wei: Ah, thank you, thank you, beautiful lady. May you have a peaceful and happy life.]

[Chen Wei: Beautiful lady, you can ask me about anything you need besides food. If I have it, I'll definitely trade with you first!]

[Yuanqiao: Okay, you're welcome]

Thinking of the vehicle optimization card, Yuanqiao inexplicably sent a message to the other party asking if they had one.

[Chen Wei: Yes, yes, I have beginner, intermediate, and advanced vehicle optimization cards for beautiful women. Which one do you want?]

Wait, there really are! There are even optimization cards for junior high, middle, and high school levels!

Yuanqiao was envious.

He wasn't as destitute and unable to afford food as he had imagined!

Chen Wei, who genuinely couldn't afford food but had a ton of props and supplies, was very proactive in promoting them.

[Chen Wei: Beautiful lady, I don't think you're the type to haggle. Let me be blunt, I'm short of water and food. If you really want it, you can decide how much to pay.]

Looking at the other party's frank and sincere sales pitch, Yuanqiao was momentarily at a loss as to how much material goods would be appropriate in exchange.

Suddenly I remembered that I had a blueprint for a primary condenser.

Keep opening treasure chests and climb up the wealth rankings!
