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

After putting away the large machete, Lu Youyou had rested for a while, and her hair was dry.

Lying in the truck bed, she instructed the autopilot: "Navigation, keep moving forward at a constant speed, and alert me when you encounter people or treasure chests."

【OK. 】

The car drove smoothly, and the soft humming vibrations acted like a hypnotic device. In less than five minutes, Lu Youyou fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the navigation automatically stopped next to a yellow treasure chest and shouted loudly.

[A treasure chest has appeared! A treasure chest has appeared! A treasure chest has appeared!]

The noise grew louder and louder, waking Lu Youyou up.

"Okay, I see."

Upon hearing Lu Youyou's voice, the automatic navigation system fell silent, only flashing a faint light.

Lu Youyou sat up, stretched, and went down to pick up the treasure chest.

Let the navigation continue, and Lu Youyou will take this opportunity to unpack the car.

[Sanitary napkins*1: 10 pads per pack.]

[Popping candy *3: 20g per pack.]

【Date-stuffed walnuts *10: One small packet contains 10g or more.】

The rest were food disguised as monsters. Lu Youyou was too lazy to check the quantity, so she put them into the decomposer along with the treasure chest.

While waiting for it to break down, she prepared to sell the popping candy.

Although sugar is important, she can choose not to have it if she has enough food.

[Me: I have some popping candy from the game. I've already tested it and it's not a monster in disguise. You all know how important candy is. Bring the price.]

Perhaps due to the trust built up from previous sales of donuts, someone sent Lu Youyou a message shortly after she sent them out.

【ID 27733: I heard on the public chat that you also accept colored chests. I have a lot of colored treasure chests here, do you want them?】

[Me: How much is "a lot"? Give me a specific number.]

[Item No. 27733: There are 20 in total, the lowest level is red. I used them all as storage boxes, but now that I have backpack compartments, I don't need the storage boxes anymore.]

Lu Youyou thought about the size of the red treasure chest, which was even bigger than her foam box. Was it really just a storage box in the other person's eyes?

She asked a question out of curiosity.

[Me: What kind of vehicle do you have that can carry 20 crates?]

[Number 27733: Oh, I'm a truck.]

He's fucking bastard.

Lu Youyou felt dizzy from the overwhelming aura of the other party.

[Me: You're so lucky, is the food really that bad?]

[Item 27733: It's not that the food is bad, it's that you can exchange your trash for food. Are you willing to miss out?]

Ok.

If it were her, she wouldn't be able to bear it either.

[Me: Can I have a bag of popping candy with every 20 boxes I give you?]

[Number 27733: Okay, I'm willing.]

The treasure chests were automatically stored in the backpack slots, and Lu Youyou counted the number of treasure chests.

5 red, 10 yellow, 3 green, 2 blue.

The treasure chest has been successfully dismantled, yielding 2 [Energy Shards - Yellow] and 3 [Soul Pills].

Put all 20 newly acquired treasure chests into the decomposer, and you will get:

[Energy Shard - Red*10]

[Energy Shard - Yellow*12]

[Energy Fragment - Green*6]

[Energy Shard - Blue*3]

There are 6 green fragments, which, together with the 4 remaining fragments, can be combined to form a medium-grade green fragment.

Without hesitation, Lu Youyou combined the red, yellow, and green fragments into an intermediate-level one.

As of now, the status of all the energy fragments in her backpack is as follows:

[Energy Shard - Yellow*5]

[Energy Shard - Orange*5]

[Energy Shard - Blue*3]

[Intermediate Energy Shard - Green*1]

[Intermediate Energy Shard - Red*1]

[Intermediate Energy Fragment - Yellow*1]

The intermediate yellow color was exactly what the large machete lacked, but Lu Youyou didn't disassemble the machete immediately.

She wanted to see if she could collect more yellow items, combine them to create a high-grade yellow item, and then fuse them.

She weighed the food in her hand, picked out the things she disliked the most, and prepared to exchange them with others for 7 chocolates and 2 packets of popping candy.

Without further ado, Lu Youyou sent a message on the public chat.

[Me: I'm looking to trade colorful treasure chests for chocolates and popping candies. Please don't come if you have fewer than 10. Desserts are limited, first come, first served.]

After saying that, Lu Youyou opened the crafting table, wanting to see what effect the blue fragments would have.

Selecting the discarded, chipped axe, Lu Youyou decided to fuse it with blue energy fragments to see the effect.

When flipping to the bottom, only red, yellow, orange, and green colors appeared; blue was not even in the candidate range.

Lu Youyou frowned and exhaled. It seemed that, like gold, blue needed to be bound to a specific item.

However, she hasn't figured out what this designated item is yet.

Lu Youyou asked without much hope, "Little Lu, what are the functions of the blue fragments?"

I cannot reveal too much information; you will need to explore it yourself.

As expected, Xiao Lu's reply was exactly what Lu Youyou had anticipated.

hum~

Her watch vibrated; someone was messaging her privately.

[Item No. 768822: What is the purpose of the treasure chest? Why do you want to collect treasure chests?]

Meanwhile, people in the public chat were tagging her, all asking what the treasure chest was for.

Some people even said that if the purpose of the treasure chest wasn't explained, they would collectively stop trading it.

After waiting for a few minutes, as expected, no one came looking for Lu Youyou to exchange for a treasure chest.

Even when she tried to message the people who had sent her messages, she was met with rejection.

Lu Youyou knew she had to step forward and respond, so she gave a half-serious, half-joking reply.

[Me: Some pets need treasure chests, and some need Soul Pills. Soul Pills can be obtained from food disguised as monsters.]

Sure enough, everyone's conversation was drawn to the pets and the Soul Pills, and their attention was no longer on the treasure chest.

While some people said they would keep the treasure chest for their future pets, others didn't want to carry it and wanted to exchange it for desserts.

Lu Youyou used all the chocolate and popping candy to collect hundreds of treasure chests.

Put all the treasure chests into the decomposer to break them down, then put the fragments into the crafting table to combine them.

Including those already existing, there are a total of:

[Advanced Energy Shard - Red*1]

[Intermediate Energy Fragment - Yellow*9]

[Intermediate Energy Shard - Green*3]

[Energy Shard - Orange*5]

[Energy Shard - Blue*3]

Finally, she had enough for one high-grade red item, and she was only one yellow item away from synthesizing a high-grade one. Lu Youyou was really unwilling to give up just like that.

She rummaged through the compartments of her backpack and found a cotton candy she didn't like that she could trade.

This time she specifically requested more than 10 yellow treasure chests, and it took half an hour before someone contacted her.

In any case, she managed to collect 10 intermediate-level yellow fragments.

Lu Youyou didn't want to wait even a second, so she put it directly into the crafting table and synthesized a high-grade yellow fragment.

There's no food left in my backpack to trade, and I can't collect enough high-level green fragments in the short term.

Lu Youyou decided not to wait any longer and disassembled the machete directly.

After obtaining the fragments, store them in your backpack slots, then craft a new machete and fuse it with high-grade red, high-grade yellow, and medium-grade green.

[Machete: The machete weighs only 50 grams; after hitting the target three times, the fourth hit will definitely trigger a one-hit kill; the target is paralyzed for 1 second upon being hit, and without an antidote, the target will be completely incapacitated for 24 hours, awaiting the end of their life.]
