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

The first thing I did after waking up was to check on Da Rui's status in the pet space.

She still had plenty of soul power but was physically weak, but she finished the chicken breast puree in the food bowl.

Lu Youyou quickly took out a frozen chicken breast to thaw, so she could cut it up and send it over to Da Rui later.

With a sigh, she got up and went outside to the power bank.

Put the food in an electric cooker, add tap water and a steamer basket, and steam all the raw food I picked up yesterday in a bowl.

Since there weren't many, Lu Youyou steamed another bun for herself.

While the steamed buns were steaming, Lu Youyou climbed onto the roof. It was time to see the effects of the Soul Elixir Water she had sprinkled yesterday.

As soon as I went up there, I saw a pot of scallions swaying in the wind.

The scallions are as thin as syringes, but they've already grown four or five centimeters. This is the flowerpot on the left.

The nutrient solution sprinkled on the flowerpot on the right only resulted in tiny green shoots emerging from the soil.

Because it was so small, Lu Youyou couldn't even tell what kind of dish was on the right.

As for the other flowerpots that were watered with ordinary water, not a single green sprout appeared; it was as if they had been filled with more than twenty pots of soil.

"It really is thanks to the Soul Elixir Water," Lu Youyou muttered to herself.

Since that's the case, she can use Soul Pill Water to water the vegetables from now on.

Taking out the watering can she made yesterday, Lu Youyou put a small pinch of Soul Pill powder into it, and then added water.

First water the pea sprouts and chives, then go to the rooftop to water the other flower pots.

After finishing everything, Lu Youyou got out of the car and did some light running and jumping to loosen up her stiff body.

Judging that the time was right and the steamed buns were cooked, she got back on the bus.

I poked it with chopsticks, and it went in without any resistance; the bun was definitely cooked.

So Lu Youyou turned off the power and ate the bun with chopsticks so she wouldn't get her hands dirty.

One bite and your mouth is filled with fresh and delicious flavor; the chive and shrimp bun successfully whetted Lu Youyou's appetite.

She didn't care that it was hot; she ate the first bun in small but quick bites.

Next, eat the food that's all mushy in the bowl. Because the food is different, the texture is different too.

Some are sticky and soft, while others are crisp and chewy, offering a variety of textures.

After finishing breakfast, she rinsed the steamer basket with tap water and let it air dry. Then she poured the water from the pot into a thermos, planning to drink it later when she was thirsty.

After finishing all these tasks, Lu Youyou started to feel bored again.

She turned the small electric fan to its lowest speed and lay back on the bed to check the messages on the public chat.

[Item #79011: I've spent all night and morning searching for the treasure chest and still haven't found it. Am I just incredibly unlucky? Have any of you found it?]

[Number 23211: To be honest, I've always been very lucky; I haven't gone hungry since I arrived here. But since last night, all I've found is a broken wooden crate, which is really unreasonable!]

[ID 16752: Can someone please have some mercy and give me some food? Consider it like raising a son, okay? I'm starving! Even the monsters in the swamp look handsome and delicious to me now.]

【…】

There were all sorts of opinions, but Lu Youyou was able to extract a piece of information from what everyone was saying.

That means only the extremely lucky can find a broken wooden box, while others can find nothing at all.

In other words, starting today, if there is no stock, we will starve.

Because even the food disguised as monsters is gone.

It must be said, the Hunger Games were vicious.

In the early stages, all treasure chests were indiscriminately filled with food disguised as monsters, deterring players from accessing the chests and causing them to miss the best opportunity to collect food.

In the mid-game, exploiting the survivors' belief that high-level chests contain valuable items, a large number of monsters are placed into these chests, resulting in the loss of a significant number of survivors.

Later on, even treasure chests stopped appearing, which was supposed to starve those who had no food to death.

Of course, those people won't necessarily starve to death, since the timing was perfect.

The Hunger Games last for seven days, and today is the fifth day. You won't die if you starve for three days.

However, this will trigger a new round of fierce competition for supplies.

Just thinking about the bloodshed that would erupt over food in the future made Lu Youyou's palms sweat and her heart pound with tension.

She let out a long breath, as if trying to blow away all her worries.

"Forget it, let's deal with whatever comes our way."

The only thing Lu Youyou could do at this moment was to remain unchanged amidst all changes.

Time passed second by second. Lu Youyou poked the chicken breast. It had softened and returned to room temperature.

This way, we don't have to worry about Da Rui irritating his stomach after eating frozen food; we can't let him get sick again.

Lu Youyou chopped small pieces of chicken breast into minced meat and added it to the food bowl in the pet space. She then poked Da Rui's carapace on the screen.

A question mark slowly appeared above Da Rui's head.

Lu Youyou was very happy; being able to interact was a good thing.

"Da Rui, the chicken breast puree is here, go and eat."

The question mark turned into a pink heart, and then, under Lu Youyou's gaze, it deepened from pink to red.

So this heart shape represents a mood score.

hum~

Her watch vibrated, either because someone tagged her or sent her a private message.

Lu Youyou watched Da Rui eat a few bites of chicken breast, then spoke a few words to it before closing the pet space.

[ID 78910: I know you're lucky to have such good stuff. I've gotten a lot of seeds before, but they haven't sprouted for days. Do you have any nutrient solution? I can trade them for seeds.]

This person was in a small group, and Lu Youyou remembered him because his ID number was very consistent.

Lu Youyou still had half a pound of seeds left in her backpack compartment, and she didn't want to exchange them.

But then I thought, who knows if these plants can be propagated?

If we can't preserve the seeds, won't we just eat them and then have nothing left?

She had to be prepared for anything that might happen.

After figuring it out, Lu Youyou looked through her backpack compartments and found that she still had seven vials of nutrient solution.

Since she now had a more efficient Soul Pill powder, she decided to sell all the nutrient solutions.

[Me: What seeds do you want to trade?]

[Number 78910: It says "mixed seeds" above, so I don't know what they are.]

[Me: 7 vials of nutrient solution, how many kilograms of seeds will you give me?]

【Item No. 78910: So many?! I can only trade you half a pound of seeds. How about you give me two bottles of nutrient solution?】

Me: Okay.

Just as Lu Youyou was about to initiate a transaction request, the other party spoke again.

[ID 78910: I still want your remaining nutrient solution. How about I trade you a puppy?]

Puppies?

Lu Youyou almost thought she was seeing things.

[Me: You mean you want to trade nutrient solutions with me using your pet? Have you bound this pet to your account?]

[Number 78910: It's a pet, but not the one on your character panel. Do you remember the stray dogs you encountered on the road before? The one that attacked me was a pregnant dog. I hit its belly and it went into premature labor. I helped deliver the baby.]

Seeing that Lu Youyou didn't reply to the message, the other party assumed that Lu Youyou was not satisfied and sent a long string of messages.

[Number 78910: Don't underestimate that puppy just because it's not a pet. It's incredibly intelligent. Even before its eyes were open, it was already scaring away monsters in the night. Maybe the puppy was born from a monster's dog. The monsters in the dark were actually scared away by its roar.]

[Item No. 78910: I gave all the pure milk I bought to the dog. My own mouth was so dry it bled, but I wouldn't even drink a drop. If I could afford to keep the dog, I wouldn't want to give it away for IV fluids.]

[Number 78910: Seriously, believe me, this little puppy is definitely a higher level than the monsters at night in the monster world. Back then, I didn't have money to buy earplugs, and it was this puppy's barking that chased away that red-eyed monster that could bewitch people.]
