Chapter 102: Space Stone

"WTF! What happened? Why did the name Ren Danru Ju turn gray?"

"No need to ask—obviously Wuya Dalao did it!"

"That was way too fast! From when he said he'd duel to now it's only been a few minutes?"

"Hahaha, die laughing, pretentious guy got struck by lightning!"

"Number Two and Number Three can rest easy; Number One has already solved the problem!"

"Alright, now we can discuss what the next natural disaster actually is."

Cheng Shuili wasn't paying attention to the regional channel; she was busy checking the supplies left by Zhang Liqiang.

The bulletproof vest and pistol didn't disappear, and the huge garbage truck didn't disappear either.

This thing should fetch a good price, right?

【Garbage Truck (Level 3)】

【Description: What you thought was dirty grime is actually just the vehicle's paint. Open the reinforced door and the interior is a tidy one‑room‑one‑hall, even equipped with an air‑purification system. No one gives a second glance to this "moving garbage heap," and that's its biggest advantage. Overall, it's a very nice transport!】

Level 3!

It should sell for a lot of Game Coin!

Cheng Shuili didn't rashly sell it; instead she first opened the truck door to take a look.

Just as the description said, inside there was a 1.8‑meter bed, which should be the bedroom; the living room wasn't visible.

Cheng Shuili glanced around; besides the bed and heater, there was no other furniture.

These items didn't need to be carried out individually, so she chose to sell the garbage truck as a whole.

【One Level‑3 Garbage Truck! Average wear, can be re‑employed at Shou Ren Xiao Zhen! Congratulations, we need this vehicle now, so I can offer a high price of 600 Game Coin! Ordinary Level‑3 vehicles only fetch 300 Game Coin, will you sell?】

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow; the price was far higher than she expected, so it seems this specially purposed vehicle can fetch an even better price!

After the sale, Cheng Shuili's Game Coin balance rose to 9,083, of which 600 came from the garbage truck, 1,860 from the last outsourced simple hunting trap…

There was also 426, which Cheng Shuili guessed came from Zhang Liqiang.

That certainly isn't all his Game Coin; the rest is probably in the 25% Cheng Shuili didn't obtain.

She flipped through Zhang Liqiang's other supplies again.

Besides the bulletproof vest and pistol, there were several boxes of ammo, some food and water, basic materials and a small amount of advanced materials; the most special items were a card and two jet‑black stones.

【Designated Furniture Upgrade Card】

【Description: Still worried the mattress isn't soft enough? Still think the washing machine isn't clean enough? Still fret over kitchenware? Quickly use the vehicle upgrade card! This card can remodel and upgrade existing furniture once! You can choose a full upgrade or a targeted upgrade! Intelligent, convenient, even fully automated! Anything is possible, you deserve it!】

Upgrade furniture?!

Cheng Shuili's eyes lit up; the day after tomorrow will be scorching! She was worried her little air‑conditioner couldn't withstand such heat.

Just when she's sleepy, someone sends a pillow.

As for those two stones…

Cheng Shuili took out from the Abyssal Ring the one she had obtained on the Reward Highway; the three stones looked identical, and even after gathering the three, their names and descriptions remained unchanged—still all question marks.

She didn't know when this would be useful, but it never came in a hurry.

She sighed and placed the three stones back into the Abyssal Ring.

The moment Cheng Shuili inserted the three black stones into the Abyssal Ring, a dark‑purple glimmer spread across the ring's surface.

A system prompt popped up before her eyes:

【Detected Space Expansion Stones ×3. Fuse now? Current expansion progress: 0/3 (each fusion of 3 stones adds 1 cubic meter of storage space)】

Cheng Shuili: "!!!"

She pulled the stones out of the ring again; now their names and descriptions were no longer question marks!

Sure enough, they're good!

Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate and chose to confirm.

The three stones silently melted inside the ring; the next second, the ring's storage space quietly expanded from 1 cubic meter to 2 cubic meters—still small, but it had doubled!

After dealing with the unexpected gain, Cheng Shuili immediately turned her attention to the Designated Furniture Upgrade Card.

She pinched the card and clicked 'use' on the energy‑saving air‑conditioner hanging on the wall.

【Please select upgrade direction: 1. Appearance 2. Energy‑consumption optimization 3. Smart thermostat system】

This…

Would anyone really pick the first option?

Cheng Shuili's air‑conditioner was already energy‑saving, and with the scorching heat it would be sunny every day; having solar panels, she didn't need to worry about power at all.

Her fingertip hovered over the third option, and she decisively chose the smart thermostat system.

【Upgrade direction selected!】

The card turned into specks of blue light that enveloped the air‑conditioner; its formerly pure‑white shell became a streamlined matte material, upgraded by more than a star.

Where the logo had been, an electronic screen appeared, displaying a line‑drawn emoticon.

"Hello! I am your life assistant Fu Fu! Feel free to tell me any request!"

Cheng Shuili was startled by the suddenly recalled voice, and after realizing what was speaking, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

She looked at the other furniture in the vehicle; previously the most intelligent was the toilet, now it's this air‑conditioner!

After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Shuili asked, "Can it connect to other furniture?"

Fu Fu replied quickly, "Could you speak more slowly? Fu Fu doesn't understand~"

Cheng Shuili: "…"

She had thought it was like the ones on TV, where a butler controls all home appliances, and you don't have to do anything yourself—just speak and the butler handles it.

She really didn't expect that.

This is an artificial idiot.

No, this was created by the system!

System is an idiot!

The system, working hard: "?"

Seems like it was scolded?

Cheng Shuili glanced at the time, planning to have dinner and sleep, but after seeing the numbers her eyes widened slightly; it's only 5:30 now, and she's only been out of the Instance for an hour.

So much happened in this hour that, in Cheng Shuili's perception, it felt extraordinarily long.

But she really had no energy to keep driving today, and with three hours left until nightfall, wasting it like this left her unwilling.

Cheng Shuili suddenly felt energized; right, there's a card she's never used.

She rummaged through the Abyssal Ring for a while before finding that Automatic Driving Card in a corner, pinching the card to select use.

【Automatic Driving Card】: Remaining uses: 9!

The floor beneath her feet suddenly trembled slightly; as Cheng Shuili steadied her stance, the outside scenery began to flow.

Her shopping cart started moving forward!
