Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

Day 9 of the official survival mission, 9:45 AM, Natural Disaster: Extreme Heat.

Perhaps it was the warm stomach from the barbecue last night, because Song Chiyu slept soundly until dawn.

When I drew back the curtains, the sunlight outside was blindingly bright.

Before noon, the sweltering heat in the air surged in like a rising tide, threatening to melt the windowpanes.

Inside the window, it was cool and refreshing.

Song Chiyu stretched and turned his gaze, suddenly noticing that on the road near the RV, huge octopus tentacles lay quietly.

There are more than ten sections, the longest of which is thirty meters long, and the shortest is seven or eight meters long.

Moreover, the tentacles were as thick as plates, covered with suckers, and were a pale red color.

Some of them were charred by the electric shock, becoming bouncy and chewy, with their tails slightly upturned.

Because of the sun's baking heat, the squid even seemed to be slowly cooking, and the air seemed to be filled with the fresh smell of squid.

Song Chiyu swallowed hard and went outside the RV.

Looking around, the ground was covered with black patches and craters, all traces of last night's fight.

Some small animals were drawn to the fragrance and couldn't resist getting closer, but because the octopus's tentacles exuded an aura of power, they dared not approach.

Just as I was struggling internally, a fair and soft hand appeared on the octopus's tentacle.

Song Chiyu bent down and picked up all the enormous tentacles from the ground.

This is all meat, might as well pick it up.

Even if she doesn't eat octopus much, she can still sell all this seafood on the channel.

After picking up all the octopus tentacles, Song Chiyu glanced at the small animals peeking out and cowering timidly by the roadside, broke off a small piece, and threw it over to them.

The small animals were startled by the sudden commotion and scattered in all directions.

Drawn by the aroma of the octopus tentacles once again, I tentatively took small bites.

He glanced in the direction Song Chiyu had left.

Carrying a huge pile of octopus tentacles, Song Chiyu returned to the RV.

It took me some time in the kitchen to cut them all into pieces.

Each piece is roughly the same size, about the size and width of two palms, and weighs 3 kilograms, enough for an average person to eat for two meals.

After she finished cutting, she counted that she had cut a total of 920 pieces.

That's quite a lot, and it's all thanks to the octopus monster's enormous size; consider it compensation for the hard work of fighting last night.

As usual, Song Chiyu kept 20 pieces as his spare ingredients, and sold the remaining 900 pieces as a round number.

I opened the channel, and the players inside were still chatting sporadically.

Perhaps it's because the weather is too hot now, so many players are still asleep at this hour.

The sunscreen link hasn't been taken down yet, and half of the sunscreen is still unsold.

So Song Chiyu added a separate link to the octopus tentacles.

She priced each piece of octopus at 120 upgrade materials or batteries.

After all, cooked octopus tastes good, is nutritious, and is quite large.

Seafood lovers are in for a treat.

Channel

It's so hot! I couldn't sleep last night because of the heat.

Me too, the battery and gas are draining too fast. I need to drive further ahead today to find more treasure chests.

You can park your car nearby and look around. Although the spawn rate isn't as high as during the protection period, it will at least save you a lot of gas and batteries.

That makes sense. I'll go buy another bottle of sunscreen; two bottles should last me the next few days.

Song Chiyu [@Everyone, anyone who loves seafood? I just added a new ingredient: octopus tentacles. Each piece weighs 3 jin (1.5 catties) and costs 120 materials or batteries. Players who are interested can click this link to purchase.]

After saying that, Song Chiyu uploaded the octopus tentacle link that he had just created.

There aren't many people in the channel right now, but quite a few have come to support it.

[Octopus? How big can it be? I once ate a whole octopus, and it was only the size of my palm, not even enough for one meal.]

[But the expert said it weighs 3 jin (1.5 catties). The one the person upstairs is eating is probably squid, right? Does it spit out ink?]

How did you know? It sprayed black ink all over my face when I was eating it, it made me so angry!

[That's it. A normal octopus weighs around 15 kilograms. The guy probably cut off an entire octopus tentacle.]

No! Wait, why are these octopus tentacles so thick!

[Holy crap, I just saw this too! This tiny piece of octopus tentacle weighs 3 pounds! It's hard to imagine how big this octopus is!!]

[Boss Song truly lives up to his reputation; he managed to take down such a massive octopus!]

I bought a piece; it was already cooked, so I could eat it right away! It saved me the trouble of starting a fire.

Why did I order raw food?

Could it be that the powerful figure used fire when they killed the octopus?

[That makes sense. I'll buy two more. This quantity is incredible; two pieces can last me three days.]

I need to wake my friend up quickly to buy octopus tentacles; if we miss this, they'll probably be gone forever.

[Then your friend has to respectfully call you godfather? Hahaha.]

No, she should be called a foster mother!

......

There weren't many players online in the channel, but the purchase volume of octopus whiskers was quite significant.

The main reason is that it's substantial and filling.

The portions are generous and filling, and the taste is good; it's great value for money.

After Song Chiyu posted the link, he closed the channel and then shouted "Check-in".

The sign-in interface for 001 quickly appeared in front of me.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing your daily check-in! You have received 1 Invisibility Card and 1 Good Guy Card. Don't forget to check in tomorrow!]

After he finished speaking, two shiny gold cards appeared in front of Song Chiyu's eyes.

One is completely transparent, while the other features a kind-looking old man with a white beard.

She knew about the invisibility card; it was in her spatial dimension.

But what does this "friend zone" card mean?

Song Chiyu had only ever heard of being friend-zoned after a breakup, and didn't know this thing could be used as a skill card.

"Good guy card: The person affected will become a trustworthy good person, teammate, and friend in the eyes of others. Their words will be more credible than others, they will have high reputation, and people will feel close to them."

Song Chiyu's hand unconsciously rubbed the edge of the card.

Judging from the effects of this "good guy" card, those affected by it are essentially wolves in sheep's clothing.

Even when facing strangers, they will treat you as one of their own.

This is perfect for use when there are many players, such as during cleanup events.

It has to be said that, to some extent, this card is like a cheat code.

After all, you can't see into someone's heart. If you find someone you trust unconditionally, you might even help them count the money after being betrayed.

It's a bit scary.

Song Chiyu put both cards away and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The little ones in the living room were still fast asleep, especially Xue Di, who was sleeping so soundly that snot bubbles were coming out of her nose.
