Highway Survival: Unlimited Upgrades, School Beauty Begs for a Ride

the next day, early morning

"Hmm!"

Lin Xuan groaned, as a sudden, heavy pressure jolted him from his half-awake state back to reality.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a delicate little face appeared directly above him.

"What a wonderful morning, my homebody brother!"

Lin Xiaoxiao plopped down on him, her legs, clad in white stockings, straddling his waist on either side.

She stood with her hands on her hips, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"Just now, because of you, my morning became anything but pleasant!"

Lin Xuan turned his head away, took a deep breath, and said helplessly.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you like it?"

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head, her pigtails swaying, and deliberately pressed her hips down. "This is a special morning greeting service just for my little sister!"

As she spoke, she moved forward again, sitting even closer to the front.

"Get down here now!"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her.

Why?

Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a faint smile, her eyes crinkling into two crescent moons. "Will it react?"

"Go to hell!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, forcing back the urge to punch her, and said, "Get down right now!"

"cut!"

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted and finally rolled off Lin Xuan.

When she landed, she deliberately stepped on his thigh with her foot.

Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly, then stepped forward and sat in the driver's seat.

He habitually clicked on all channels.

"It's dawn! It's daylight! I made it through! Damn! I'm still alive! Brothers, I'm still alive!"

"What were those things last night? I thought I was going to die!"

"Do any of you big shots have extra upgrade cores? I'm willing to trade food for them!"

"Me too. My car hasn't been upgraded yet, and the doors are covered in teeth marks and scratches. I don't know how much longer it can last. Is there anyone kind enough to donate some upgrade materials?"

"..."

Compared to yesterday, all the channels are much quieter today.

It seems that quite a few players died on the first night alone.

"Ding-dong, you have a new private message!"

"Um?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on the central control screen.

Who's in such a hurry so early in the morning?

He clicked on it and saw that it was Sun Ze, the one who had traded refined iron for food with him yesterday.

It seems he was lucky; he made it through the first night.

"Brother, I have two pieces of saltpeter!"

"Salt water?"

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

The thing he had been searching for all day, turning over several treasure chests without finding, had now unexpectedly come to him on its own.

With saltpeter, he could make a pistol.

Seven paces away, the gun is fast!

Within seven steps, the gun is both accurate and fast!

Only with a pistol can you truly have the confidence to speak in this game.

What do you need?

Lin Xuan quickly typed out a few words and sent them.

"Brother, my car got chewed up by a monster last night. I want to trade you for ten upgrade cores! I want to upgrade this crappy car to level two, otherwise I definitely won't make it through tonight."

Ten upgrade cores?

Lin Xuan glanced at his storage space.

Yesterday, while searching for saltpeter, I did manage to open several upgrade cores from three treasure chests along the way.

With the addition of his unlimited upgrade system, he now has thirty upgrade cores.

But to exchange ten for two pieces of saltpeter at once

He wouldn't do a deal that loses him money.

"That's too many, I can only give you five!"

Lin Xuan considered it for a moment, then typed out a few words in reply.

"Five? Five will do!"

Before the message was even sent, Sun Ze immediately replied.

Lin Xuan could feel the urgent, pressing situation on the other end of the screen.

After all, in this survival game, the car is the most important thing.

If we lose our car, and night falls, we'll be doomed.

"Alright! Let's begin the transaction!"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan took out five upgrade cores from his storage space and placed them on the trading area of ​​the screen.

[Ding-dong, transaction complete!]

The moment the transaction completion notification sounded,

Two grayish-white stones appeared in front of Lin Xuan.

"Is this saltpeter?"

Lin Xuan reached out and picked up the saltpeter in front of him, examining it for a moment.

He expended a lot of effort on this piece of junk.

Now my wish can finally come true!

[The host touched the saltpeter and obtained ten pieces of saltpeter.]

[The host touched the saltpeter, triggering a critical hit and gaining twenty pieces of saltpeter.]

"Cool!"

In the blink of an eye, two pieces of saltpeter turned into thirty pieces.

Is this the fun of cheating in games?

After putting everything away, Lin Xuan immediately went to the forging platform at the back.

He has now obtained all the necessary materials.

Next, we can forge the pistol!

He reached out and stroked the casting table in front of him, then placed all the necessary materials on it one by one.

[Pistol Design Blueprint: 1/1✓]

[Refined Iron: 20/20✓]

[Timber: 10/10✓]

"Are you going to manufacture pistols?"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger,

The casting table in front of him immediately began to operate, emitting a deep hum.

Blue light patterns emanated from the edge of the tabletop, enveloping the materials on it.

Ten minutes later, a pistol appeared on the forging table.

Lin Xuan reached out and picked up the pistol; its weight gave him a sense of peace.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Glock 18 pistol, which can be upgraded to "Desert Eagle". Upgrade now?]

Lin Xuan's eyelids twitched.

Desert Eagle

That's the most powerful pistol out there.

With .357 Magnum ammunition, at medium to long range, it's enough to take down any carbon-based life form on land.

With this gun, even if I encounter those zombie dogs at night, I can definitely take them down with one shot!

"upgrade!"

Without even thinking, Lin Xuan clicked "confirm".

The Glock pistol in his hand instantly transformed into a pure white Desert Eagle.

The sheer weight of it was twice as much as the previous Glock.

But its power is, of course, self-evident.

Lin Xuan weighed the Desert Eagle in his hand, then his gaze returned to the forging table.

With pistols in hand, the next step is naturally to produce bullets.

.357 Magnum ammunition is significantly larger than a standard handgun bullet, and requires twice the amount of materials.

[7 .357 Magnum bullets, required materials: 2 saltpeter, 2 refined iron]

"Should we manufacture .357 Magnum bullets?"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger,

As the casting table whirred, seven bullets, each about the thickness of an index finger, appeared on it.

[The host touched a .357 Magnum bullet and obtained ten .357 Magnum bullets.]

[The host touched a .357 Magnum bullet, triggering a critical hit and gaining twenty .357 Magnum bullets.]

"..."

After several upgrades, the seven .357 Magnum bullets that were just now became a full 100 bullets!

Lin Xuan loaded all seven bullets into the chamber, the crisp metallic clanging sound even more melodious than any he had ever faintly heard before!

After finishing everything, he sat back in the passenger seat with a satisfied expression.

Just as he was about to start the car and leave, the central control screen lit up again.

"Ding-dong, you have a new private message!"

Lin Xuan clicked on it and took a look.

The person who arrived was none other than Ye Ning'er, the one who had previously traded handgun blueprints with him!
