Silver Chest

After her moment of celebration, Cheng Shuili immediately went to check her loot.

Each player could equip two titles at once. Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate and clicked to equip them. With these ten points added, her three main attributes rose to 30, which was 10 points higher than a normal human!

Now, even if she suddenly encountered a Highway Merge, Cheng Shuili would have the strength to put up a fight!

Feeling the power coursing through her body, Cheng Shuili couldn't help but move around a bit, performing a clumsy, makeshift set of Tai Chi moves from her vague memories.

She had learned this back in college, and surprisingly, with the attribute boost, it actually looked quite decent.

Next up was that silver chest!

Unlike the crude wooden box, this silver chest was carved with intricate patterns, and a red gemstone was embedded in the latch.

It was quite exquisite.

【Silver chest (Small probability of obtaining Rare items, very high probability of obtaining Legendary items)】

Cheng Shuili paused. Seeing these probabilities, she knew something was up. Another BUG!

A luck BUG!

Cheng Shuili rubbed her hands together and opened the chest without hesitation.

“Congratulations! You have obtained: vehicle upgrade core x1 【Legendary】, prepared meal x10 【Rare】, self-heating rice x4 【Rare】, self-heating mini hotpot x4 【Rare】.”

This...?

She pulled three Rares and one Legendary?

In disbelief, Cheng Shuili glanced at the description page again. It indeed said, "Small probability of obtaining Rare items, very high probability of obtaining Legendary items."

Good heavens.

Cheng Shuili didn't know what expression to make. This was a rare moment where she had truly become an RNG goddess.

Damn it, don't use up all my luck on something this weird!

Cheng Shuili stomped her feet in frustration before noticing she hadn't chosen whether to announce it yet.

Her mood brightened slightly, and she chose to announce it directly.

【Congratulations to player Angry Crow Takes Flight for achieving the server-wide first kill. Players, please act quickly to obtain supplies and strive to survive!】

"Holy crap! First kill?! They already encountered a monster and killed it? Didn't the novice protection period just end?"

"I can't tell if this big boss has good luck or bad luck. If you say it's good, they ran into a monster right after the protection period ended. If you say it's bad, they went ahead and took the first kill anyway."

"Big boss, are you using a cheat?"

"Angry Crow is awesome! Please share a guide on how to kill monsters!"

"Heh, just luck. If I had run into a monster, that title would definitely be mine."

Cheng Shuili ignored the jealous comments. She only chose to announce it to satisfy her own vanity. Who doesn't like a little recognition?

Doing this shouldn't cause any problems. Even if it did...

The one who was famous was Angry Crow Takes Flight. What did that have to do with Cheng Shuili?

Cheng Shuili moved all the food onto the cart and restarted the shopping cart. In her previous life, she had read web novels about highway apocalypses; the protagonists were always trailblazers, and the system would reward them.

Cheng Shuili wasn't interested in being a trailblazer, but she did want the system rewards.

Since the shopping cart had electricity anyway, she just had to keep moving forward.

Only then did Cheng Shuili leisurely examine the upgrade core.

【Upgrade Core: Replaces all materials needed for vehicle upgrades except for 'vehicle upgrade material shards'!】

Cheng Shuili nodded to herself. It was a good item, an auxiliary material. To upgrade the vehicle, she still needed vehicle upgrade material shards. If she had the chance, maybe she could trade for some.

Cheng Shuili drove the electric shopping cart onward. The scenery on both sides of the highway remained desolate, and the dark red sky seemed as if it would never change.

She hummed a little tune, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Suddenly, another familiar black square object appeared on the edge of the road ahead.

"Another wooden supply crate?" Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow and moved a bit closer. As expected, she saw a brown box.

She braked, the advertisement stopped abruptly, and the only sound left was the rustling of the wind blowing through the dry grass.

Cheng Shuili jumped off the cart and walked to the box. A system prompt immediately popped up:

【Wooden supply crate discovered. Open it?】

The last one was a monster. This one couldn't possibly be a monster too, right?

"Open!" Cheng Shuili confirmed without hesitation.

The box creaked open, and inside lay a 500ml bottle of mineral water and a pack of peanut-flavored compressed biscuits.

It was much worse than the silver chest, but it was better than nothing. Who would complain about having too many supplies?

Cheng Shuili reached out to take the items, but the box didn't disappear as it had before. Instead, it remained standing there, perfectly intact.

Cheng Shuili blinked and tentatively clicked the box again.

【Wooden supply crate discovered. Open it?】

"I can open it again? Another BUG!" Her eyes lit up, and she immediately chose "Yes."

The box opened again. This time, it contained a can of yellow peaches and a utility knife.

Cheng Shuili quickly took the supplies, and the box still didn't disappear.

Cheng Shuili finally had to admit that the SSS-grade BUG Physique talent was truly worthy of its rank!

She didn't hesitate and immediately began her supply-farming spree.

She repeatedly clicked to open the box as fast as she could, getting different supplies every time:

Third time: A ten-meter coil of rope and a thick coat clearly meant for winter.

Fourth time: A box of fifteen matches and a bar of nut chocolate.

Fifth time: A folding entrenching tool and a bottle of multivitamins.

When Cheng Shuili raised her hand again, the wooden box finally disappeared. She wasn't greedy; being able to farm it five times was enough to make her happy.

Satisfied, she carried the supplies back to the shopping cart. After packing everything away, she hit the accelerator and kept driving!

She opened her panel to check her current stats.

Cheng Shuili squinted and nodded. She also felt that this was very good. It was only the first morning, and no one else could possibly have this many supplies.

With a look that was three parts pride, three parts swagger, two parts haughtiness, and two parts disdain, she opened the regional chat channel.

It was already noon, right around lunchtime.

Quite a few people were bragging about their food.

Cheng Shuili nibbled on the chocolate, squinting at the posts in the chat channel. Most people's lunches were pitifully meager: half a compressed biscuit, a piece of whole-wheat bread, a bottle of mineral water, or even just a few vitamin pills.

There was even one poor soul who had only opened a bottle of digestive tablets and was trying to fill their stomach with them.

"Tsk, is that it?" Cheng Shuili scoffed. She casually took a photo of the bubbling self-heating mini hotpot and posted it to the channel.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: [Image] Just a casual lunch.

The regional channel exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! A self-heating hotpot?! Is that something you can actually find during the novice period?"

"Big boss, do you need a sidekick? I don't eat much and I can fight!"

"This is fake, right? Definitely photoshopped! I opened three crates and they were all mineral water!"

"The guy above must be starving. Where would anyone get Photoshop software here?"

Cheng Shuili grinned, took another photo of the canned peaches, and captioned it: "Dessert after the meal."
