Road Survival: My RV is a Moving Castle

Chapter 3 An unexpected gain

She figured it out: the rocking horse had virtually no mobility, and the reason the system provided this initial vehicle was to prevent them from going too far.

She raised her head and strained to look at the end of the road, her dark pupils reflecting the endless highway.

She couldn't see anything on the other side with the naked eye, but that unknown distance must be more dangerous and fraught with peril than this place.

To ensure players' survival in the early stages and give them time to prepare, there will definitely be a lot of resource chests near the starting location.

Therefore, Song Chiyu decided to first search within a 100-meter radius of the rocking horse, and then gradually expand the search area.

Once you've made up your mind, start immediately.

She carefully parted the bushes by the roadside, but there was nothing there.

They peeled open another one, but still nothing.

Gradually, without realizing it, she drifted further and further away from the road.

Just as Song Chiyu had searched through five or six bushes without success, he suddenly noticed a notification box behind a mound in the distance.

"There are two beginner-level treasure chests here."

Just like the text boxes that appear in games, it stands out at a glance.

It seems my talent for discerning eyes has come in handy.

She was overjoyed and quickly ran over to check.

Following the directions in the prompt box, we indeed found a corner of a wooden box gradually emerging from behind the mound.

Two beginner-level treasure chests indeed!

They snuggled together like a couple.

"There's some food and ingredients here."

"There's some food and ingredients here."

The same prompt box appeared again on the two treasure chests, and Song Chiyu understood what was going on.

I remember the system saying that treasure chests might contain supplies or dangers, though I didn't know what kind of dangers they might contain.

But there will be plenty of opportunities to find out later.

Knowing that the treasure chest contained supplies, Song Chiyu raised his axe handle with great enthusiasm and swung it at the chest's head.

This time the box wasn't completely broken; only the top panel was cut in half, which made it easier to retrieve items.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 9 Cold Steamed Buns, 3 500ml Bottled Waters, and 9 Plastic Items]

Compared to the first crate she opened, the amount of supplies she got this time was indeed three times greater.

Seeing nine big steamed buns made Song Chiyu feel much more at ease. With food and water, what was there to worry about?

Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

The wooden box was three-quarters full of steamed buns and bottled water, with the remaining space occupied by nine small plastic sheets.

It's just ordinary plastic, only as thin as a sheet of seaweed, about the size of a palm.

[Plastics: Can be used as an upgrade and manufacturing material for upgrading vehicles and producing plastic products.]

Song Chiyu remembered that upgrading the rocking horse required 30 plastics; so that's what it was.

These are good items too, I'll take them!

There was one treasure chest with supplies left, and Song Chiyu rubbed his hands together expectantly as he looked at it.

next second.

"Snapped!"

She picked up her axe and started hacking away. This time, she smashed the treasure chest to pieces, and the supplies inside came into view.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 9 pieces of plastic, 6 French rolls, and 3 pieces of iron]

There's food! It's her usual French bread rolls.

Song Chiyu was overjoyed and took out the small bread and plastic. There were three cube-shaped iron blocks left in the treasure chest.

It's about the size of a thumb, but quite heavy.

Iron blocks: Can be used as upgrade and crafting materials to upgrade vehicles and craft iron items.

Iron blocks are also upgrade materials, but they are not included in the materials for upgrading the Yao Yao vehicle. Perhaps they will be needed for future vehicle upgrades, so it's good to keep them for later use.

Having obtained so many resources from opening just two beginner treasure chests, Song Chiyu's initial anxiety about the survival game was greatly relieved.

As usual, break these two treasure chests down into wood blocks, then open the channel.

Channel

It's so hot! There's not a single place to find shade in this desolate wasteland.

[Found it! It's a tattered wooden box, isn't it? I found my first treasure chest.]

I haven't seen the treasure chest yet, I'm so envious of you guys.

[I'm so envious! I finally found a treasure chest, and all I got were three bottles of dishwater. This game is so abstract.]

Holy crap, I managed to get rainwater out of the car, can you believe it?

[I found two. One contained a giant rat, which bit me and hurt terribly. The other contained two bottles of water, three plastic items, and a meat bun.]

Damn it, I opened an empty crate! What a waste of my energy.

"Ah, how did you all manage to find it? I haven't even seen a trace of the box."

I haven't found it yet either, and I'm dying of thirst.

……

Scrolling up through some more chat logs, Song Chiyu discovered that everyone was trying to find treasure chests, but the probability of opening them and finding something useful was very small.

It seems that acquiring resources in this survival game is quite challenging.

Looking at the supplies she had just acquired, she felt it wasn't enough. To survive here, she needed to stockpile a lot more supplies.

Carrying an axe as long as her arm, Song Chiyu continued her search for the treasure chest, this time planning to venture further afield to try her luck.

After walking for about ten minutes, the sunlight overhead became increasingly intense.

Beads of sweat slid down Song Chiyu's forehead. She kept wiping them with her sleeve, but she couldn't keep up with the rate at which she was sweating.

No wonder people on the channel are complaining about the heat; this wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see, covered with wild grass and shrubs, and there's nothing taller than her.

The further you go, the more desolate it becomes, with sand dominating the world and vegetation appearing less and less frequently.

suddenly.

"There is a nest of ostrich eggs here."

The familiar notification box finally appeared, and Song Chiyu couldn't help but feel overjoyed when she saw the content.

There is meat to eat!

She hurried forward, parted the bushes that were obscuring the view, and found a pile of white bird eggs lying quietly in a nest made of dry grass.

There were about six or seven, and each one was quite large.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Song Chiyu for discovering a mutated ostrich egg, becoming the first player in the channel to obtain other resources. Reward: Handbag x1]

The system announcement sounded above her head.

The next second, a bamboo basket appeared on the ground.

It's like having someone bring you water when you're thirsty, or a pillow when you're sleepy; this basket is perfect for holding bird eggs.

Song Chiyu carefully placed the nest and eggs into the basket, and then covered the eggs with a lot of dry grass.

It mustn't be discovered by its parents, or it will die here today.

The system just said this is the egg of a mutated ostrich. Does that mean all the animals in this survival world have mutated?

I need to get going.

Thinking of this, Song Chiyu cautiously surveyed her surroundings, and finding nothing amiss, she left with her basket.

Instead of returning the way she came, she changed direction and continued searching for the treasure chest.

It's not easy to come out, and walking takes a lot of energy, so we need to find more things to take back.

Three hours later, in the dusty wilderness, a slender figure appeared by the roadside.

She was walking shakily, with an axe tucked at her waist, a bamboo basket in her left hand, and a row of wooden boxes strung together in her right.

That's right, it was Song Chiyu who had just returned from hunting.
