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

Chapter 37 Aura of Misfortune
I thought it was a simulated environment using screen mirroring technology, but I was surprised to find a completely different scene behind the door to the hotel room after passing through identity verification.

This traditional Chinese courtyard-style room is great value for money.

Yuanqiao stepped onto the wet bluestone path, as if it had just rained. A few steps away, a game of black and white chess was still on the stone table.

Yuanqiao's gaze swept over the stone, then returned. "This Go board is so out of place! Couldn't they have used some kind of black and white Go stones..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone table flickered and switched to a half-finished Go game.

Yuanqiao: ...

It's very intelligent, the scene is very realistic, and a petal even falls onto the chessboard.

There was a plum tree by the wall of the small courtyard, and a red carp suddenly swam by in the small pond under the tree.

The scene was beautiful at first glance, but Yuanqiao felt something was off, especially the plum tree by the pond.

Tuanzai jumped down and ran to the plum blossom tree to watch the carp swim.

Walking under the eaves where the wind chimes hung, Yuanqiao gently pushed open the half-closed door, and a faint scent of sandalwood mixed with the smell of book pages wafted towards her.

Yuanqiao quite liked the atmosphere; the interior was decorated in an artistic and elegant style. He gave the hotel a 4-star rating, deducting one star for the abrupt chess piece from the room.

"This bathtub is so smart!" After looking around the room with curiosity for a while, Yuanqiao, who wanted to wash up and rest, went to the side bathroom.

On the highway, no one would dare to use so much water, but this time the vehicle is being renovated and upgraded, and the condenser function will also be upgraded, so there will be no worry about water supply in the future.

After a wonderful hot bath with flower petals, the hotel also provided a complimentary late-night snack to help you relax and sleep.

According to the system, these are all foods with special effects.

[Hope City Specialty Nourishing Soup: Long-term consumption can aid sleep, regulate qi and blood, and increase constitution by 1 point within 5 hours for a limited time]

The hotel is grand, and although the effect was minimal, I still applaud this added-value service.

After Yuanqiao finished eating, she gave Tuanzai a bath as well. The two of them, smelling sweet and fragrant, snuggled together, and then, wearing cute bear pajamas, lay down on the mahogany bed and rolled around a couple of times.

[Player Yuanqiao has received a resource exchange item used by another player. Please choose one of the following three existing resources to submit.]

Yuanqiao, who was suddenly notified by the system, stopped pinching the rabbit's butt and checked the details.

If other players use items that force you to exchange resources, at this critical moment, it's either because your best friend is giving you good stuff, or you've offended someone who's causing trouble.

Seeing that the item being traded was a Yuan Crystal, even the most foolish Yuan Qiao could guess that Hua Xinyan was behind it all.

This is because the innocent, pure image she has lost can no longer hold up, so she completely turns against her and takes action against her.

Red Spirit Vermilion Fruit ×1
Unknown map ×1
Ice maker blueprint ×1
Choose one of the three.

"Ha, I'm being forced to exchange a Yuan Crystal for something good."

Looking at the system's exchange page, I finally chose the ice maker blueprint.

Clutching the Yuan Crystal in her hand, Tuanzai stopped hugging and seemed to be deep in thought.

Yuanqiao pursed his lips slightly, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

There's no better way to retaliate right now; neither props nor special items seem to be of any use.

If all else fails, I'll find a chance to beat her up after I wake up. After all, my physique has increased a lot, and my health is much higher than that of ordinary players, so I won't be easily killed if I can't beat her.

But this incident still affected Yuanqiao's mood, and he only managed to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

I received a message from 005 when I woke up this morning saying that the vehicle optimization and update were complete. They sent me photos and videos explaining the various functions of the RV, and I was very satisfied.

Feeling a bit better, Yuanqiao ate the breakfast delivered by the hotel, as well as Tuanzai's pet meal, which was biscuits made from a mixture of various spiritual plants. Tuanzai loved it, and Yuanqiao thought she would ask the hotel where to buy it after checking out, since it wasn't available in the system shop.

It's a new day, let's cheer up and use our talents with full energy.

[Talent skill successfully used. Gained Misfortune Aura x1. Wearing the aura will bring bad luck and misfortune to everything. Duration: 5 hours]

Yuanqiao was stunned. Wasn't the innate skill a lucky aura?

Where does this aura of misfortune come from?

Did the game see my resentment at being bullied? Or is it that my innate talent is working in sync with my will, and today it's creating a bad luck aura to vent my anger?

Regardless of how it appeared, the aura of misfortune lasted for 5 hours, and Yuanqiao happily gave it to Hua Xinyan to wear.

[Successfully equipped with the Aura of Doom. Player announcement has been hidden. Countdown: 04:59:59]

Yuanqiao continued to use the God of Wealth's blessing, but today there was no lucky aura, and he received 36 gold coins.

But Yuanqiao wasn't disappointed; on the contrary, he was quite happy. The thought of the system's prediction of "everything going wrong" made him laugh out loud. Having used the lucky aura for so long, he knew its power all too well.

……

Hope Hotel, Room 501 (Double Room).

"Madam, please clean up the contamination as soon as possible, or you will be evicted from the hotel!"

The hotel staff member spoke seriously to Zhong Minqing.

The room was a mess, a result of a recent battle. Zhong Minqing looked disheveled and sullen, clutching her bleeding arm.

This formed a stark contrast to Hua Xinyan, who was wearing a clean white dress and sobbing beside her.

[Player Zhong Minqing's contamination level is 7%, please purify it as soon as possible]

While the two were having breakfast in the morning, Hua Xinyan took out an unopened silver treasure chest from her spatial storage and gave it to Zhong Minqing.

Zhong Minqing was very touched by her kindness and generosity, as she had initially thought the woman was just taking advantage of her talent to freeload.

Unexpectedly, the person was still kind and generous, so I happily opened the silver treasure chest on the spot.

Unexpectedly, a monster monkey jumped out of the box, and Zhong Minqing's arm was viciously attacked and scratched.

The monster monkey was quite agile, and although the hotel room was large, the space was still limited. She had to use a disposable weapon to kill it. During this time, Hua Xinyan could only cry and scream in fear, hiding behind her and hindering her.

It wasn't until hotel staff came to check on her via the alarm that they reminded her to clean her wounds as soon as possible.

"Sister Zhong, I don't have any gold coins either, and I don't want you to get hurt. That monster monkey is too scary." Hua Xinyan said tearfully, hoping that Zhong Minqing would stop staring at her.

A purification potion costs 2 gold coins, and removing 7% of the pollution requires 14 gold coins. Zhong Minqing only has 9 gold coins left after killing the monster and what she had left.

"You're not hurt at all, I protected you the whole time, and I even lost one-time-use items. Now I'm short 5 gold coins to buy a purification potion, and you're still not happy about it?"

Zhong Minqing didn't keep a sullen face; she just looked at Hua Xinyan with resentment. If it weren't for the monster that came out of her silver treasure chest, she wouldn't have been injured!
"Who knows if you deliberately gave me the silver treasure chest so I would get hurt opening the monster, otherwise why would you suddenly be so generous?"

"Sister Zhong, how could you say that to me? I really misjudged you."

Hua Xinyan was also annoyed. Who knew she would be so unlucky? Last night, she used a prop to get a blueprint from Yuanqiao, which made her feel good. So, she generously and sincerely thanked Zhong Minqing.

"Whether I saw it or not is up to you. Just compensate me ten gold coins, and this matter will be over. Otherwise..."

Zhong Minqing stared at Hua Xinyan and stopped talking. She really hadn't gotten any accurate information and had gotten herself into trouble. She was furious.
