Chapter 7: Temporary Stay at the Oasis

"Congratulations, your dilapidated Tricycle has been upgraded to v1. Please check the specific stats yourself." After hearing the system prompt, Zhao Yuxin immediately clicked to view the upgrade.

Name: Dilapidated Tricycle v1

Maximum speed: 12/h

Introduction: A tricycle that looks a bit dilapidated; it is an important means of transport for players. But please treat this tricycle well, otherwise it will fall apart for you just like v0 did.

Upgrade requirements: 10 units of metal, 20 pieces of Buli, 20 wood, 5 units of rubber.

A look of disgust appeared on Zhao Yuxin's face. At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan's voice came over, "Are there any more traps ahead?"

Zhao Yuxin listened carefully to the echoes in the surroundings, "There are none ahead, you can come back now."

Zhu Zhiquan took over the driver's seat to let Zhao Yuxin return to the carriage to rest, and continued walking forward along the road.

I don't know how much time passed, but after experiencing countless dangers, the rain finally stopped. At the same time, a system announcement rang out: "The Rain-Filled Torrent event has ended. Please rate this event, players.

1. Satisfied

2. Very satisfied

3. Extremely satisfied

4. Satisfied to the point of explosion"

Seeing these options, Zhao Yuxin was so angry that she cursed loudly on the World Channel: "This dog-shit system is really shameless! Shameless!"

Station Master Who Loves Lifting: "Exactly! Just two days! Two days, damn it! 3,000 people are down to 1,564! And you still want me to give you a good review! Ptooey!"

Little Princess Who Loves Milk Tea: "My teammate died in the event just now..."

Mai Shui Da Zhi Lao: "That's right! I originally wanted to get rich by selling water, but look what happened! Not only did my teammate die, but one of my legs and my source of income are both gone! What am I supposed to do now!"

Yangguang Xujie: "Once our generation lived without worry, who knew we would face such calamities today! Three thousand children gathered in one hall, yet those who speak today number no more than two thousand. If the time comes, our generation shall rise with the wind and shatter the dark curtain at the Golden Palace!"

Shishuolaorenbutiaoliu: "Wow! An intellectual! It's a pity that I, an old man, can't understand a single word."

…………

After venting with the players on the World Channel, Zhao Yuxin felt much more at ease. At the same time, Zhu Zhiquan had already driven the Tricycle back onto the road.

Zhao Yuxin: "Ajiu, do you want to vent your emotions?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "No need."

Zhao Yuxin: "Are you sure? You've experienced so many things in a short time, don't you need to vent?"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded lightly without speaking. Zhao Yuxin patiently urged, "I'm telling you, don't always bottle things up. Like me, ah~ shouting it out loud is very effective."

Zhu Zhiquan looked at her with the expression one would use for a fool, but he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued pedaling the tricycle.

"I've discovered that you're really a boring person." Zhao Yuxin sat on the edge of the tricycle, with a wolf skin padded under her bottom, dangling her bare feet incessantly.

"By the way, what did you do before entering this game? Looking at your personality, you couldn't have been a special forces soldier."

Zhu Zhiquan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I was unemployed at home playing games, so what?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Oh, then how long have you been unemployed?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "I've been lying at home for about a year since I graduated from school."

"Oh, I see. If you count it that way, you should be older than me." Zhao Yuxin made a rough calculation, "Then how old are you this year?"

"Guess." Zhu Zhiquan clearly did not want to answer.

Zhao Yuxin: "Just tell me~"

Zhu Zhiquan did not answer, and Zhao Yuxin kept acting spoiled and asking.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan was becoming a bit impatient, there happened to be a Material Box ahead. Zhu Zhiquan went to the side of the Material Box and opened it. A white light flashed, and a Skinning Knife was revealed inside.

Throwing the Skinning Knife into the carriage, Zhu Zhiquan continued to pedal the tricycle on the road. Zhao Yuxin pestered Zhu Zhiquan for a little while longer, but seeing that she really couldn't pry his mouth open, she had to pout and sulk in the carriage.

The sun continued to sink as time passed, and before they knew it, the two arrived at an Oasis.

"Wow! There's an Oasis! Great, stop the vehicle first, I'm going down to take a bath!" Zhao Yuxin carried her shoes and ran toward the interior of the Oasis.

Zhu Zhiquan parked the Tricycle under a palm tree and came to the carriage to start resting.

Zhao Yuxin had run less than forty meters when she saw many small animals drinking water at the lake in the center of the Oasis. Zhao Yuxin approached the lake cautiously, but none of these animals paid her any mind.

"Ajiu, you're not allowed to come over and peek, you hear?" After notifying Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin prepared to take off her clothes to bathe. But at this moment, a rabbit came hopping toward Zhu Zhiquan's direction.

Zhao Yuxin watched the little rabbit curiously. The little rabbit entered Zhu Zhiquan's field of vision, which left Zhu Zhiquan baffled.

Suddenly, the little rabbit crashed into the Tricycle and died, which greatly shocked both Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin. Soon, Zhao Yuxin thought of something and said: "I remember now, remember the Beast Attracting Sculpture?

This sculpture can attract a small animal every day to come and crash to its death under our vehicle."

Zhu Zhiquan also remembered that there was such a sculpture, so he took the Skinning Knife and prepared to skin it.

"Detected that you have the relevant tools. Harvesting will cause a moderate loss. Do you wish to collect?"

Hearing the system prompt, Zhu Zhiquan was quite dissatisfied, "It's one thing that you deducted some of my harvest before when I didn't have tools, but now that I have tools, you still want to deduct my harvest? Then what use are you?"

Having said that, Zhu Zhiquan took the Skinning Knife and prepared to skin it. The moment the Skinning Knife touched the rabbit, a white light flashed. Before long, nothing was left of the intact rabbit except for the rabbit skin and a portion of rabbit meat.

Immediately following, the system prompt rang out, "Decomposition complete. You have obtained one piece of rabbit skin and 300 grams of rabbit meat."

"Dog-shit system, I #&$@..." Zhu Zhiquan was so angry he cursed loudly, which made Zhao Yuxin, not far away, laugh out loud.

"I didn't expect you, Ajiu, to lose your cool too."

Zhu Zhiquan lay on the Tricycle, fuming and ignoring her. Seeing this, Zhao Yuxin stopped teasing him and went into the lake to start bathing.

While bathing, she suddenly felt playful and splashed water at an elephant. The elephant herd was not to be outdone; they sucked up large mouthfuls of water and retaliated against Zhao Yuxin.

Soon, Zhao Yuxin was defeated and wanted to retreat further away. Suddenly, a cube tripped her. Out of curiosity, she submerged into the water and discovered a Material Box, and the graffiti on this Material Box was white.

"White Supply Box?" Zhao Yuxin was overjoyed and opened it. A white light flashed, and a blueprint and four bottles of water appeared.

Name: Dagger Spear Blueprint

Grade: Gray

Introduction: This is a simple weapon made by binding a dagger to a wooden stick, which can be mass-produced in the apocalypse.

Materials: 1 unit of wood, 2 units of metal, 1 piece of Buli.

"Oh, I didn't expect my luck to be this good! Learn." Very quickly, a new item appeared in their crafting interface. Zhu Zhiquan also felt that something new had been added to the crafting interface, and when he opened it to take a look, his eyes lit up instantly.

He looked at the animals not far away again, having already decided in his heart to stay here for two more days.

Immediately, he traded for some materials in the Trading Channel and made six Dagger Spears, planning to hunt a few to try fresh meat after finishing his bath.

After a while, Zhao Yuxin returned wearing a grass skirt. Zhu Zhiquan gave her three Dagger Spears and said, "Azhao, let's hunt some game to try fresh meat in a while, but do you know how to make meat last longer?"

Zhao Yuxin handed him a grass skirt, "I won't go hunting with you, but if you want to make meat last longer... I only know how to smoke it."
