Cheng Shuili patiently waited for the system to finish its closing remarks. Fortunately, it didn't drag its feet when it came to distributing the rewards.
Three shimmering Gold Supply Crates suddenly appeared in the cabin, along with one silver chest and another crate made of an unrecognizable material that shimmered with a faint iridescent glow.
Cheng Shuili rubbed her hands together in excitement. After a moment's thought, she decided to start with the silver chest.
Taking a deep breath, she lightly rested her fingers on the silver chest. The moment the lid flipped open, a soft white light flashed.
“Congratulations! You have received: Advanced Heating Stove x1 【Legendary】, Wood (Seven-day supply) x1 【Normal】.”
Cheng Shuili fell silent for a moment. Only two items? The silver chests she had obtained before usually yielded several pieces.
Had this dog system secretly started cutting corners?
As she wondered, her fingers brushed against the Advanced Heating Stove, which was nearly as tall as a person. It looked similar to the fireplaces found in luxury villas from her previous life, with the only difference being that this unit was fully enclosed. A pipe at the top connected directly to the vehicle, and its surface was engraved with intricate patterns.
Even without being lit, it felt warm to the touch.
【Advanced Heating Stove】
【Description: In the Extreme Cold, this is an absolutely excellent item, though its utility in other disasters is debatable. It is highly effective; you can choose its placement once, and the pipes will connect themselves! Once successfully lit, it can maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the entire vehicle and within a three-meter radius outside. However, it consumes several times more wood than a standard stove. Use with caution!】
Despite the warning, Cheng Shuili immediately understood the value of this item!
Maintaining a comfortable temperature meant she didn't have to worry about the water in her tank freezing, nor did she have to worry about repairing the vehicle due to burst pipes.
If she had a fuel-powered vehicle, she wouldn't even have to worry about the gasoline in the tank freezing due to low temperatures.
Although her shopping cart ran on electricity, it would still benefit from this effect.
Thermal expansion and contraction.
This was the reason batteries became less durable in the winter.
“Not bad.” Cheng Shuili nodded in satisfaction and opened the placement interface. She looked around the cabin; there wasn't much empty space, and only two spots were large enough for the heating stove.
One was next to the door. Cheng Shuili pulled the door to test it, but the stove clearly obstructed the entrance.
The other spot was next to the refrigerator.
This... normally, a heating stove definitely couldn't be placed there. After all, putting something hot right next to something cold was a recipe for disaster, wasn't it?
But this system-produced item didn't even show an open flame!
It should be fine...
Cheng Shuili rubbed her chin in thought for a moment. It should be okay, right?
She tested it by wrapping her arms around the stove and giving it a lift. To her surprise, she picked the whole thing up with one forceful tug!
Now she had nothing to worry about. She would put it next to the refrigerator for now. If it really caused issues, she could just use her strength to move it later.
Once Cheng Shuili confirmed the location, the heating stove vanished and reappeared there instantly.
Immediately afterward, the pipe connected to the stove opened a small vent in the roof. The surrounding area was sealed tight with some sort of material, ensuring not even a whisper of wind could get in.
Cheng Shuili figured she could still move it later.
At most, it would just be a matter of adjusting the pipe length. For a woman like her who had lived alone for a long time in her previous life, these were minor issues.
Next were the Gold Supply Crates.
Suppressing her excitement, Cheng Shuili opened all three at once. Golden light instantly filled the entire cabin.
“Congratulations! You have received: Polar Cold-Proof Suit (Set) x1 【Legendary】, Skeleton Key x1 【Epic】, Gasoline (100L) x3 【Normal】, Mineral Water x10 【Normal】.”
“Congratulations! You have received: Full Vehicle Repair Tool Set x1 【Rare】, Agility Potion x2 【Rare】, Fried Chicken and Cola Meal (Serves 5–6) x3 【Rare】, Beastman Town Underground Storage Room Keycard 【Legendary】.”
“Congratulations! You have received: Windproof and Waterproof Goggles x1 【Rare】, Infinite Safety Rope x1 【Rare】, Full Home Care Set (8-piece) x3 【Rare】, Durable Battery Pack x10 【Rare】.”
Inspecting them one by one, Cheng Shuili first picked up the Polar Cold-Proof Suit.
【Polar Cold-Proof Suit】
【Description: Do you think this is like those ordinary clothes? The kind of trash that relies on your own body heat to stay warm? This cold-proof suit features a full-body integrated heating system and an automatic temperature regulation system! No power source required! Full coverage with non-slip boots! At minus thirty degrees, it feels like spring! At minus forty, you can move without hindrance! Even at minus fifty, it's nothing but a light drizzle!】
What a find!
Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up. She tried it on immediately, and it was exactly as described!
The material was thin and light yet possessed incredible insulation. It even came with matching gloves and snow boots. Even at the current temperature, she didn't feel overheated.
As for the Skeleton Key...
Cheng Shuili suddenly understood why 'trash' of the 【Normal】 rank appeared in the Gold Supply Crates.
It was because these first two items were simply too overpowered!
【Skeleton Key】
【Description: True to its name, it can open any non-electronic door lock you desire! However, whether something will be unhappy that you opened the door, or whether you will encounter danger, is not something this key can warn you about.】
Cheng Shuili didn't care at all about the dog system's threats in the latter half of the description.
Danger and opportunity always shared the same threshold, and now, Cheng Shuili had one foot over that threshold.
Regardless, this was a good thing for her current situation.
With too many items to go through, Cheng Shuili first picked out the 【Legendary】 item to examine.
【Beastman Town Underground Storage Room Keycard】
【Description: It seems capable of opening a door somewhere, but you will have to figure out the exact location yourself.】
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow and silently tucked this keycard away with the Skeleton Key.
She couldn't just let the two Agility Potions sit there, so she tilted her head back and drank them. Feeling a subtle change in her body, she shook her head and opened her personal panel.

"Takes no responsibility," indeed.
Cheng Shuili snorted. She wasn't taking its words seriously.
She gave the remaining supplies a quick glance. There was no rush for those. There was still one more left...
Cheng Shuili's gaze fell upon that shimmering, special supply crate.
This thing looked extraordinary. She wondered which category of reward it belonged to.
Rate on N.U.
