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

[Player 7889: Ahhh, I'm going to die! I don't want to die! If I could do it all over again, I would never do it again...]

[Player 1256: Don't be afraid, upstairs. Just fight those black hands. I also killed the monster merchant and encountered black hands. Once you kill the black hands, you'll be safe.]

[Player 7889: Aaaaaah, I don't have any good weapons! I need to buy some!]

I don't know if that person received the weapon or whether they fought the Black Hand; anyway, their profile picture is now offline.

[Little Cake: How did you defeat the mastermind? @Player1256]

[Player 1256: I didn't defeat the Black Hand! I didn't even encounter the Monster Merchant. I just wanted to find a guinea pig to test if I could kill those Black Hands. I wasted an axe with a red shard on it.]

[Green Apple Paradise: You're fucking heartless!]

[Player 1256: Yeah, yeah, I'm ruthless, but dare you say you didn't get any information? At least you found out that the black hand that appears after killing the monster merchant is unkillable, right?]

[Graceful and elegant: Could it be that the weapon you gave me was too low-level? Or that the person was just too incompetent?]

[Player 1256: My axe is fused with three high-level red energy fragments, how could it be low-level? I'm more inclined to believe Black Hand is unkillable.]

[Player 1256: Of course, it's not impossible that the person you mentioned is too weak; they might get killed by a black hand before they even swing their axe. That's a possibility.]

【…】

The speculation about the mastermind on the public chat continued, and no matter what conclusions they reached, Lu Youyou made up her mind.

Never provoke the monster merchant or the gold merchant; don't create trouble for yourself.

After watching their conversation for a while, Xiao Hei reminded Lu Youyou that the steamed buns were cooked.

Lu Youyou turned off her watch, took precautions, went upstairs to put away the induction cooker, and placed the steamer basket aside.

She poured all the hot water from the pot into a thermos before taking the steamer basket downstairs.

He still gave eight to Xiao Hei and kept two for himself.

Xiao Hei can eat hot food, but Lu Youyou can't.

While the temperature was dropping, I cut up some chicken breast for Da Rui and added some dried anchovies and dried insects.

After washing the steamer basket, the buns will be almost cooled down by the time they come out.

Although it was still hot to the touch, at least I could take small bites.

After finishing the steamed buns, Lu Youyou washed and dried the food bowls of herself, Da Rui, and Xiao Hei, and then went to the roof to collect the clothes.

The sun was scorching hot; the clothes drying in the sun were burning hot.

After putting her clothes away in the small walk-in closet under the bed, Lu Youyou took a shower in the folding bathroom and then brushed her teeth.

When we came out, it was already dark.

Lu Youyou turned on the light, sat on the sofa, looked at the public chat, and waited for her short hair to dry.

[Treasure chest spotted 198 meters ahead. Please prepare accordingly.]

Once the car stopped near the treasure chest, Lu Youyou used the auto-pickup function and then opened her backpack to check her loot.

There are new supplies, and there are also duplicate supplies.

She put the newly acquired cooling patches and ice packs into the refrigerator, then threw the yellow treasure chest into the decomposer before carefully examining the newly acquired supplies.

[Unbinding Card *1: Can unbind function cards already bound to the watch, and can be resold.]

[Smart car lock*1: Automatically identifies the car owner and other registered strangers, unlocking the car automatically. Unregistered individuals are not permitted entry. Can be used in conjunction with automatic navigation.]

She doesn't need the unbinding card for the time being, and she doesn't have anything she wants to unbind.

However, this smart car lock must be installed.

The smart car lock is installed with just a few taps on your watch—simple and convenient.

Lu Youyou yawned, touched her hair, and thought it was almost dry, so she could go to bed.

Have a good night's sleep.

When I woke up again, it was daylight.

When she woke up in the morning, she felt exhausted from having slept enough and didn't want to move or cook.

I put two small dried fish and a pinch of turtle food into Da Rui's food bowl, and opened two bags of fresh rabbit meat food for Xiao Hei.

Clearly, two bags weren't enough, so Lu Youyou opened another can of venison for Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei's meal consists of more than a pound of food.

As for Lu Youyou's own breakfast, she simply rummaged through the compartments of her backpack.

I struggled to finish a reduced-sugar version of brown sugar jujube cake and drank most of a thermos of warm water.

hum~

Someone started chatting with me.

When Lu Youyou clicked in, she saw that it was the Sun God who had started the conversation again.

[Sun God: Buying living monsters at high prices; can be exchanged for cooling supplies such as cooling patches, ice packs, and cooling sprays.]

[Player 8900: What pattern have you discovered this time?]

[Sun God: I've discovered that putting live monsters into the decomposition device will produce Soul Pills, which are used to replenish the soul power of pets.]

[Sun God: Put the flesh of dead monsters into the DIY machine to extract a universal fusion agent; the two cannot be mixed.]

[Fuck your survival game: Huh? So, are you going to start collecting dead monster meat now?]

[Sun God: I'm not accepting dead monsters for now. I only accept living monsters. As long as they're alive and breathing when you trade with me, they don't need to be jumping around.]

[Player 5622: I have it! Luckily, I'm following the Sun God, so I get a notification as soon as he sends a message. I almost killed a wolf monster.]

[Player 4442: @Player 6666 The Sun God doesn't collect dead monsters, do you?]

[Royal Detective: @Player6666, do you buy soul pills from dismantling live monsters? What's your offer?]

【…】

A bunch of people tagged themselves, either asking about the price or creating their own narratives that Apollo offered a higher price.

This made Lu Youyou's already somewhat dazed expression even more blank.

what?

What kind of thought process does the sun god have?!

Why is she finding it increasingly difficult to understand?

Is she too selfish... keeping all information to herself and not telling others?

The watch kept buzzing and vibrating, as if she would be tagged repeatedly if she didn't reply.

Lu Youyou pressed the button, spoke, had it converted to text, and sent it.

[Player 6666: No, I won't take them, dead or alive.]

[Player 8782: Tch, if you don't want it, then don't. We'll sell it to the Sun God. Next time you try to buy it, the price won't be the same.]

[Don't like egg yolks: Ugh! Please, just accept it! I don't want to do business with someone like the Sun God; he seems so stupid.]

【…】

Since Lu Youyou posted that sentence, although some people have tagged her, the number has obviously decreased.

The buzzing of the watch is negligible and not that annoying.

[Station ahead 190 meters: Self-service kitchen. Please prepare accordingly.]

Self-service kitchen?

This is the first time Lu Youyou has heard of this station since she arrived so many days ago.

As the car approached the station, Lu Youyou put on her sun protection clothing set.

The same process was repeated: applying cooling patches, wearing ice packs, and finally spraying several times with cooling mist.

He also made sure to slip a bottle of cooling spray into his pocket.

The car stopped, and Lu Youyou put Da Rui in the pet compartment to accompany her downstairs, leaving Xiao Hei in the car to watch the house.
