Chapter 102 · Volume 1

Space Stone

“Holy crap! What happened? Why did Chrysanthemum-like Calm’s name turn gray?”
“Do you even have to ask? It must have been the Crow boss who took action!”
“Isn’t that too fast? Only a few minutes have passed since he said he wanted to duel!”
“Hahaha, hilarious. Showing off just gets you struck by lightning!”
“The second and third place players can rest easy now; the first place player has already solved the problem!”
“Alright, now can we discuss what the next disaster will be?”
Cheng Shuili didn't pay attention to what the regional channel was saying; she was busy checking the supplies left behind by Zhang Liuqiang.
The bulletproof vest and the pistol hadn't disappeared, and the massive garbage truck hadn't vanished either.
This thing should sell for a good price, right?
【Garbage Truck (Level 3)】
【Description: What you think is filth is actually just the paint on the exterior. Once you open the reinforced door, the interior is actually a neat one-bedroom apartment, and it even comes with an air purification system. No one will take a second look at this “mobile trash pile,” which is precisely its greatest advantage. All in all, this is a very decent vehicle!】
Level 3!
It should sell for quite a few game coins!
Cheng Shuili didn't rush to sell it; she first opened the door to go inside and take a look.
Just as the description said, there was a 1.8-meter bed inside. This must be the bedroom, though she couldn't tell where the living room was.
Cheng Shuili scanned the place; apart from the bed and a heating stove, there was no other furniture.
There was no point in picking these items out to deal with individually, so she chose to sell the garbage truck as a whole.
【A Level 3 garbage truck! General wear and tear, perfectly capable of finding new employment at the beastman town! Congratulations, we are in great need of this vehicle right now, so I can offer a high price of 600 game coins! A normal Level 3 vehicle is only worth 300 game coins, you know. Do you wish to sell?】
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow. This price was significantly higher than she had anticipated. It seemed that vehicles with special functions could fetch a better price!
After the sale, Cheng Shuili’s game coin total reached 9,083. 600 of that came from the garbage truck, 1,860 from the recent commission for processing simple hunting traps...
There was also 426, which was the reward for the mileage completed over the last few days, plus what had dropped from Zhang Liuqiang.
This definitely wasn't all of his game coins; the rest was likely within the 25% that Cheng Shuili hadn't managed to get her hands on.
She flipped through Zhang Liuqiang’s other supplies.
Aside from the bulletproof vest and pistol, there were a few boxes of ammunition, some food and water, some basic materials, and a small amount of advanced materials. What was more unique was a card and two pitch-black stones.
【Designated Furniture Upgrade Card】
【Description: Still worried that your mattress isn't soft enough? Still think your washing machine isn't washing clothes clean? Still struggling because you don't know how to use kitchenware? Hurry and use the vehicle upgrade card! This card can perform a renovation and upgrade on existing furniture! You can choose a comprehensive upgrade or a specific direction! Smart, convenient, or even fully automated! Anything is possible; you deserve to have it!】
Upgrade furniture?!
Cheng Shuili’s eyes lit up. The day after tomorrow was the extreme heat! She had been worried that her small air conditioner wouldn't be able to withstand such high temperatures.
It was like someone delivering a pillow right when she was feeling sleepy.
As for those two stones...
Cheng Shuili pulled out the one she had obtained on the reward highway from her Abyss Ring. All three stones looked exactly the same. Even after collecting all three, their names and descriptions hadn't changed; they were still all question marks.
She didn't know when these things would come in handy, but there was no use in rushing it.
She sighed and tucked all three stones back into the Abyss Ring.
The moment Cheng Shuili stored the three pitch-black stones into the Abyss Ring, a dark purple stream of light suddenly rippled across the surface of the ring.
A system prompt popped up before her eyes:
【Detected Space Expansion Stone ×3, do you wish to fuse them immediately? Current expansion progress: 0/3 (Every 3 fused increases storage space by 1 cubic meter)】
Cheng Shuili: “!!!”
She took the stones back out of the ring. Now, the names and descriptions were no longer question marks!
They really were good things!
Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate and chose to confirm.
The three stones dissolved silently inside the ring. The next second, the ring's storage space quietly expanded from the original 1 cubic meter to 2 cubic meters. Although it still wasn't large, it had already doubled!
After dealing with the unexpected gain, Cheng Shuili immediately turned her attention to the 【Designated Furniture Upgrade Card】.
She held the card and clicked to use it on the energy-saving air conditioner hanging on the wall.
【Please select an upgrade direction: 1. Appearance decoration 2. Energy consumption optimization 3. Smart constant temperature system】
This...
Is there really anyone who would choose the first option?
Cheng Shuili’s air conditioner was already an energy-saving model, and since it would definitely be sunny every day after the extreme heat, with solar panels in hand, she didn't need to worry about energy at all.
She hovered her fingertip over the third option and decisively chose the smart constant temperature system.
【Upgrade direction selected!】
The card transformed into specks of blue light that enveloped the air conditioner. The original pure white shell changed into a streamlined matte material, looking more advanced than it was before by more than just a little.
A digital screen appeared where the logo used to be, displaying a line-art expression.
“Hello! I am your life butler, Fufu! You can tell me if you have any needs!”
Cheng Shuili was startled by the suddenly sounding voice. After realizing what it was that was speaking, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
She looked at the other furniture in the vehicle. The only thing smarter than this was the toilet, and now, this air conditioner!
Cheng Shuili hesitated for a moment before asking, “Can you connect to other furniture?”
Fufu answered quickly, “Could you speak a little slower? Fufu doesn't understand~”
Cheng Shuili: “...”
She had thought it would be like those things in movies, where a butler controls all the furniture in the house, and she wouldn't have to do anything herself—just open her mouth and tell the butler what to do.
She really hadn't expected this.
This is an artificial idiot.
No, this was created by the system!
A system idiot!
The system, which was working hard: “?”
Did it just get scolded?
Cheng Shuili glanced at the time, intending to have dinner and go to sleep. After seeing the numbers, her eyes widened slightly. It was actually only 5:30; she had only been out of the dungeon for an hour.
Too many things had happened in this one hour, and in Cheng Shuili’s perception, it had been exceptionally long.
But she really didn't have the energy to continue driving today. There were still three hours until dark, and she felt unwilling to let that time go to waste.
Cheng Shuili suddenly felt energized. Right, there was one card she hadn't used yet.
She rummaged through the Abyss Ring for quite a while before finding the Automatic Driving Card in a corner, held the card, and chose to use it.
【Automatic Driving Card】: Current remaining uses: 9!
The floor beneath her feet suddenly shook slightly. When Cheng Shuili steadied herself, the scenery outside had already started to flow.
Her shopping cart was moving forward!
