I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

Lu Youyou looked for a long time and found that everyone was complaining about not being able to find the treasure chests and stations.

I scrolled through tens of thousands of chat logs, and not one of them was an exception.

"Forget it, let's not go any further, it's a waste of time."

Even people with incredible luck can't find treasure chests, so she, who started with a scooter, is even less likely to find anything.

Lu Youyou interpreted this as the game being updated with new features, and that something big was definitely coming next.

Thinking back to the speed race a few days ago, there was nothing unusual on the road, and we were able to find things on the road.

But even such a small incident resulted in one out of every four people dying.

How many will die in this well-prepared game?

Thinking of this, Lu Youyou felt a chill in her heart.

She casually took the last ice cream from the mini-fridge, ate it, and sent messages on the public chat.

[Player 6666: You can exchange seasonings for compressed biscuits or fried dough twists.]

She could be beaten to death because she was less skilled, but she wouldn't allow herself to die without a decent meal.

She had been craving the fresh pork in the refrigerator for a long time.

If we're going to eat, we should eat good food, and we must use seasonings.

hum~

Lu Youyou opened her watch.

[Zhang Yuning: Do you need any seasonings? I ordered some earlier, including salt, pepper, and chili peppers. What do you want?]

To be honest, Lu Youyou didn't want to get involved with Zhang Yuning. She preferred to go her own way without having to worry about anyone's betrayal.

In her view, the entanglement between her and Zhang Yuning's father, Zhang Weimin, had ended when she parted ways.

Later, Zhang Yuning gave her two zinc blocks as a thank-you gift, which she accepted, thus ending the debt of gratitude for saving her life.

But Zhang Yuning always liked to respond to her in the public chat and even sent her a private message to offer her some seasoning.

Lu Youyou felt no joy at having gained an advantage; instead, she was filled with fear and growing anxiety.

Just as I was debating whether to reply, I heard Xiaolu's thoughtful reminder.

[Player <Zhang Yuning> has sent you a gift. Please check it promptly.]

Lu Youyou opened the backpack compartments and found that the first six compartments were occupied by the things Zhang Yuning had sent.

[Cooking oil *1]

Salt *1

[Oyster sauce*1]

[Soy sauce *1]

[Cooking wine *1]

[Pepper powder *1]

Lu Youyou put these things into the truck bed and found that the salt and pepper were in plastic bags, weighing less than half a pound, but not much more.

Everything else was in small bottles of mineral water, each bottle showing a capacity of 250g, and they were filled to the brim.

This huge pile of seasonings made Lu Youyou's heart tighten.

Not wanting to receive the supplies for nothing, she gave Zhang Yuning the appropriate amount of supplies according to what she had mentioned in the public chat.

The seasonings were not as valuable as the food, so she gave Zhang Yuning all five thumb-sized twisted dough sticks in her hand and added a compressed biscuit.

Zhang Yuning is not losing money at this price.

Even if Lu Youyou were to trade with someone else, she wouldn't exchange it for more than that price, preferring to cook pork with instant noodle seasoning.

hum~

My watch vibrated again.

[Zhang Yuning: Thank you for the snacks.]

[Player 6666: It's not a gift, it's a trade.]

Gifts are only given between friends.

A transaction, it sounds like neither party owes the other anything.

I don't know what Zhang Yuning was thinking, but Lu Youyou didn't receive any more messages from her.

With no one bothering her, Lu Youyou felt much more relaxed.

She happily took the pork out of the refrigerator, and just as she was about to slice it, she realized that she had neither a knife nor a cutting board.

With no other option, Lu Youyou could only continue trading with others.

But a kitchen knife is also a weapon, and it probably can't be exchanged for just a little bit of supplies.

It would be nice if there were drawings.

The first person she thought of was "Yuan," the one who immediately mentioned in the public chat that there was a production platform.

There should be many blueprints for the circle; perhaps they can help me with its fabrication.

Scrolling through her friends list, Lu Youyou found <Yuan>, edited the wording slightly, and sent the message.

[Player 6666: Do you have a kitchen knife or cutting board over there?]

Yuan was also checking her watch and replied almost instantly.

[Yuan: I only have daggers. Crafting a dagger requires 1 iron ingot and 1 piece of leather. If you provide the materials, I'll charge you an extra two units of leather or iron ingots. If you don't have the materials, trade them with me for food.]

Lu Youyou opened the watch; there were four leather pieces, but no iron pieces.

All the iron blocks were rounded up before, and they were replaced with an electric vehicle upgrade card. Now there are no more in stock.

[Player 6666: I don't have any iron ingots, but I have 4 pieces of leather. Can I exchange them for a dagger?]

It took about a minute for the other party to reply to the message.

[Yuan: Okay, let's make a deal.]

Upon receiving the dagger, Lu Youyou immediately opened the crafting station.

She wanted to test whether the dagger made by others could be fused with the energy fragments without the relevant blueprints.

The original option for selecting the blueprint was to choose a finished dagger.

After selecting the dagger, a space will automatically appear. Clicking on the space will allow you to select the type of energy fragment.

Lu Youyou couldn't help but exclaim, "That's great!"

By fusing the last intermediate red energy fragment in her backpack with the dagger, Lu Youyou obtained a dagger that increased her attack power.

I slashed the pork a couple of times to test its strength, and it was cut open with almost no resistance.

This will be her personal kitchen knife from now on, until she gets her hands on a real kitchen knife.

She didn't receive the cutting board, so she took out the wooden block from her backpack.

The wooden block is a cube about 15 centimeters long, wide, and high. Although it's a bit small for a cutting board, Lu Youyou can accept it.

Cut the pork into strips and put them in a bowl. Then, add pepper, oyster sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, and cooking oil in that order, and stir well with chopsticks.

While the meat was marinating, she took out two steel blocks and placed them on the ground, leaving a ten-centimeter gap between them to make it easier to put firewood, and then put a small stainless steel pot on top of them.

I traded this stainless steel pot with someone when we were eating wild dog meat; it's better for stir-frying meat than an electric cooker.

The small pot is set up; all that's missing is firewood.

Lu Youyou took out a large cleaver and chopped the wooden block that had been used as a cutting board into planks. She then picked out the most evenly thick piece and put it away. This would be her real cutting board from now on.

Then she split the remaining planks into strips to use as fuel for the fire.

By the time the wooden planks are split, the meat should be ready to marinate.

Lu Youyou took out some dirty clothes she had saved up, lit them, stuffed them under the small pot, and then added firewood.

Once the firewood was lit, Lu Youyou stopped worrying about the firewood and started cooking.

Add cold oil to a hot pan, then pour in the marinated pork.

Shila-

The meat at the bottom quickly turned white, and Lu Youyou picked up her chopsticks and stir-fried it.

The clumps of meat became distinct, each strand cooked through, and she quickly poured them into a plate.

Next, place the small pot on the stove, pour in a bottle of mineral water, and add the instant noodles after it boils.

It can wash the pot without wasting the grease left in the pot.

With noodles and meat, Lu Youyou thoroughly enjoyed her meal.

After the meal, she let out a burp and put away all the things she had used.

After checking his watch for a while, he realized that everyone was just complaining and there was nothing else to take advantage of, so he leisurely got on his electric bike and rode forward.

Although she had eaten her fill, she was prepared to die at any moment.

But she didn't really want to die; she wanted to at least struggle, in case there was a treasure chest ahead.
