Chapter 255: The Golden Treasure Chest on the Highway

Wan Yi: There's nothing.

Qi Wan Yi was originally still wondering why Cheng Shuili suddenly came to find them, but after seeing the small group's message, they understood.

Wan Yi: Don't worry about me, I have nothing.

That's fine.

Cheng Shuili nodded and instructed 001 to go do business properly.

The noise on the regional channel was ultimately only a few people; most people, after seeing the item details, sent over Game Coins.

001 was still very smart at filtering orders; Cheng Shuili watched for a while, felt she wasn't needed, and went to attend to other things.

Cheng Shuili sat cross‑legged on the floor, took a long spear out of the Abyssal Ring and admired it.

Add ten attribute points? That's too many!

This is the best weapon Cheng Shuili has seen since entering this highway game!

Now it's time to give it away, and Cheng Shuili naturally feels a bit reluctant.

But thinking about it, she doesn't know how to wield a spear; learning from Su Rui would be time‑consuming, and it takes three to five years just to get started, which Cheng Shuili can't afford.

The best choice is to let Su Rui use the long spear.

A good weapon should be given to someone who can use it.

In Cheng Shuili's hands, this long spear is no different from a scrap of iron; I guess that gives it a good resting place?

Cheng Shuili propped her chin and couldn't help thinking about Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.

She originally thought that after Hu Ge and Hu Mei were locked in the little dark room, the two shops' inventories hadn't changed, but looking at the current situation, they were clearly replaced along with the shops.

Since they've changed... the shop's prized treasure should have a new one, right?

I don't know what good stuff will appear; I need to find a chance to go to Shou Ren Xiao Zhen.

Cheng Shuili made up her mind, stood up, and knocked on the cabin door.

The person still driving paused, silently stepped on the brake, and only then turned around to see what the boss had to say.

Unexpectedly, this time Cheng Shuili didn't force a conversation, nor did she do anything baffling.

She just walked in holding a long spear, and in Su Rui's astonished gaze, solemnly handed the spear to her, as if entrusting a heavy responsibility.

Su Rui thought she would say a few words, but the person simply closed the door and left.

Can we really say it's the boss after all?

Their way of acting is truly inscrutable...

Su Rui blinked, and only then realized what she was holding.

Long spear?!!

She was startled, nearly hitting the steering wheel.

Su Rui grasped the long spear with her other hand and flicked it up.

"Boss, you... giving a weapon is fine, giving a weapon is great, but can't you clean it before handing it over?"

The marks deliberately made by the old fox on the spear were still there, and as Su Rui moved, they were flung everywhere...

She felt a bit helpless, yet couldn't contain her excitement, stood up and performed two moves in the cramped space, making the cabin unreadable, then, feeling guilty, went to find Cheng Shuili.

The matter ended with Cheng Shuili using a Vehicle Cleaning Card.

The rain outside started again.

Cheng Shuili propped her chin and watched the drizzle outside.

This disaster was nothing to her, but for the other players, it was undoubtedly the most severe disaster.

"Why did our regions merge just now? Is the disaster in your region also acid rain?"

"Isn't that obvious? If it weren't acid rain, how could we be merged?"

"Brothers and sisters! How do you all deal with acid rain? I'm trying to protect my vehicle from rain; my rain cloths have already been discarded several times—are there no other ways?"

"Speaking of that, @Xin Xue Chuji, you stinky swindler! Come out! Introduce yourself to everyone!"

"??? What kind of trick is this?"

"And another, @Hei Shi Lao Mao, you smelly info‑seller! Come out and introduce yourself!"

"All from Zone 666? What kind of monsters are you in Zone 666?"

"Still can't compare to your 213 and 444, even though you just merged, you're already famous."

"Looks like our Dragon Lake Society still has a reputation!"

"Our Ruyun Society is also very famous!"

"I've already disbanded you; don't bring it up again."

The vehicle suddenly stopped.

A moment later, Su Rui came out of the cabin, excited, holding the long spear, and said to Cheng Shuili, "There's a golden treasure chest on the road! Want to open it together?"

Golden treasure chest?

It appeared on the highway, huh?

The moment Cheng Shuili heard that name, she felt something was off.

She frowned and got a lizard‑skin from Xinxue.

The two put on raincoats, then opened the door and went out together.

Su Rui was right; a golden chest sat quietly in front of the vehicle.

They propped the lizard‑skin raincoats and cautiously approached the golden chest.

Rain fell on the chest, making a faint sizzle, but the chest's surface showed no sign of corrosion.

Su Rui stood aside, clearly waiting for Cheng Shuili to decide.

Cheng Shuili thought for a moment, opened the system page to check the time, and saw there were five minutes left before the acid rain would stop.

If a monster really appeared, dealing with it while wearing a raincoat would be terribly unpleasant.

Obviously, opening the treasure chest now is not a wise move.

The two stood in the rain, as if stuck, silently waiting for five minutes.

During this time Su Rui didn't say a word, and Cheng Shuili didn't mutter to herself. If a third person were present seeing this, they would surely doubt their mental state.

The rain stopped silently, and the person who had held a posture for five minutes suddenly lifted their head, looked around, confirmed it really wasn't raining anymore, and said: "Take off the raincoat, let's open the chest."

Su Rui nodded, took off the lizard skin, gave it a shake, and casually folded it up—this really is a good habit.

Cheng Shuili followed suit, putting both pieces of lizard skin into the Abyssal Ring together.

Su Rui had long since gotten used to Cheng Shuili's trick of conjuring objects out of thin air or making them disappear; as long as nothing was lost, she let Cheng Shuili mess around as she pleased.

The two stood before the golden treasure chest, exchanged a glance. Cheng Shuili gripped the dagger in her hand, Su Rui raised her spear horizontally, tip slightly lowered, ready to respond to any sudden situation.

"I'll count to three." Cheng Shuili whispered.

Su Rui nodded, adjusted her stance.

Cheng Shuili's fingertip lightly touched the edge of the treasure chest, feeling the cold metallic sensation.

Three, two.

Su Rui's spear reflected a chilly light in the sunlight, her breathing became slow and deep.

One.

Cheng Shuili flung open the lid and leapt back a step.

Su Rui's spear thrust forward immediately, the tip tracing a silver arc.

The anticipated monster did not appear.

Inside the chest lay three items quietly: a card glowing with purple light, an exquisite small wooden box, and an irregularly shaped black stone.
