Chapter 80: Large Temperature Difference
Radiant Light Illuminates Blue Star: As for @Hai and @Yun Fan Yu Nong, I respond to your doubts. 1 Game Coin, this price will never change, that's my promise. But if we don't even have that support... maybe we really should consider stopping information sharing.
Radiant Light Illuminates Blue Star: Finally, thanks to Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, thanks to Spring and Summer, and all friends willing to speak a fair word for us. Also thanks to those survivors who realized they were being led astray and are willing to apologize. In the apocalypse, the thing we must not lose most is judgment and empathy.
Welding Sister: The Radiant boss said it perfectly! (teary) We almost fell for the scoundrel's scheme!
What to Eat Tonight: @Hai, does your face hurt? Our team already had someone sacrifice themselves, we just want to collect 1 Game Coin to keep sharing! You're spreading rumors here?
Spring and Summer: I knock, I knock!!! It's a once‑in‑a‑lifetime series, I actually got listed alongside Wu Ya Dalao in Radiant boss's announcement!
Crazy: Haha, the person upstairs is really lucky, truly blessings to you. (sarcastically extreme version)
Beloved g18: One person writes a blood petition asking Radiant boss to blacklist these two people!
Heroic Legend: Two people write a blood petition asking Radiant boss to blacklist these two people!
……
Cheng Shuili looked coldly at the latest news.
In her view, these fence‑sitting opportunists are as hateful as those two people who set the pace.
Eight o'clock was approaching, and this matter was considered settled, Cheng Shuili gripped the steering wheel, and the system displayed that she had received a private message.
It was a message from Radiant.
Radiant Light Illuminates Blue Star: I really appreciate you; if it weren't for that message, I would probably have been scolded for a long time.
Cheng Shuili did not reply; she didn't care about such verbal thanks. If it were sincere, it would be better to send some supplies.
This is where Xinxue truly stands out.
At eight o'clock, Cheng Shuili pressed the accelerator.
Today's road was no different from the previous days; after driving for about two hours, she finally saw the first supply drop crate.
Unfortunately, the smoke that rose was green, and inside was a monster.
Cheng Shuili didn't stop the car, but guessed that she probably wouldn't encounter another drop crate anytime soon.
She made a mental preparation.
But she clearly did too little.
Not until after four in the afternoon did Cheng Shuili encounter today's first red‑smoke supply drop crate. She wasn't overly happy, only feeling a sense of relief that it finally arrived.
In the four‑person group chat, someone had already opened a crate; it wasn't Xiao Ou Huang, but Xinxue's avid little treasure‑collector who loves sharing.
At that time she posted a screenshot in the four‑person group showing the popup after opening the red‑smoke crate.
Congratulations on opening the correct supply drop! All drops contain only two types of items: cards and special items! The probabilities are 99.99% and 0.01% respectively! Open more crates, lucky players, maybe you'll get that crappy luck too.
The chance for cards is 99.99%, and special items only 0.01%—indeed very low.
Cheng Shuili originally thought Liang Shanbo could obtain a special item; when she asked, she learned that he hadn't encountered any drop crate today and was still pushing forward.
Now, it was finally Cheng Shuili's turn to open a crate. She stood in front of the crate and lifted her hand to open the tightly shut door.
As expected, the popup appeared before her immediately.
But unexpectedly... the positions of the two probabilities on her popup were reversed!
In other words, she had a 99.99% chance to get a special item and only a 0.01% chance to get a card!
Cheng Shuili immediately closed her eyes; luck certainly won't favor the same person forever, and this time it must not be like the newly launched treasure chest.
She prayed in her heart, carefully opening a sliver.
Inside the crate lay something like a magical girl transformation device.
Cheng Shuili: "???"
Alright, at least it's a special item, right?
【Great Gift of the Prediction God】
【Description: Don't be fooled by its appearance; it's not a useless trinket that just changes your clothes into flashy outfits! It has only one function: to predict detailed information about the next disaster. After each use it cools down for seven days; after seven days it can be used again. Please plan usage wisely!】
Cheng Shuili originally wanted to mock the name of this thing, but after reading the description carefully she completely lost the desire to mock.
Calling it a Gift is correct.
What's wrong with calling it a Gift? It's absolutely right!
Predicting disaster information means having the initiative! Seizing the initiative is seizing business opportunities!
Previously Cheng Shuili found it troublesome and refused to do it, but now with Xinxue and Liang Shanbo, the two of them have free time, so earning some money for her is also good for them.
If those two found out, they'd surely be very willing!
Cheng Shuili carefully picked up the Gift from the bottom of the crate; the name was too long for her to remember, so she'll just call it Gift.
Those two characters are indeed fitting!
Cheng Shuili jogged back to the shopping cart; today is the fifth day of extreme cold, and in two days the next round of disaster will occur.
Today is just the right time to use the Gift!
【Great Gift of the Prediction God activating…】
【Using divine power to predict…】
Honestly... Cheng Shuili still couldn't resist; this thing really resembles a sham god under the overpass who scams people.
【Prediction complete】
A translucent blue interface unfolded before Cheng Shuili, and blood‑red text slowly appeared on it:
【Next disaster type: Extreme Heat】
【Duration: 7 days】
【Friendly reminder: The interior temperature of the vehicle can reach up to 49 °C; it is recommended to turn on the air conditioner. The exterior temperature cannot be predicted; it is advised to take proper protection when going out.】
Extreme Heat?
Cheng Shuili's gaze fixed on those two words.
What does it mean?
First extreme cold then extreme heat, creating such a huge temperature swing—are they hoping these survivors will stock up on more sugar?
The system wants to eat people—so what?
Speaking of air conditioners… Cheng Shuili turned her head toward the workbench she had neglected for several days.
She hasn't used this thing since it was installed.
When she was on the Reward Highway, she apparently obtained an air‑conditioner blueprint; later, because of the group‑owner's card and the near‑fatal incident with Liang Shanbo, she indeed tossed that blueprint far into the clouds.
Cheng Shuili thought, glanced outside the vehicle, and since it was still daytime, she knew she must be extra cautious.
She doesn't plan to craft it now, but she wants to confirm whether this is indeed the air‑conditioner blueprint and check the required materials.
She'll need it in a few days.
【Energy‑saving Air Conditioner Blueprint】
【Effect: Same as a regular air conditioner, with all the usual drawbacks—quick cooling but poor heating. Its only advantage is that it's energy‑saving.】
【Materials: Electric wires ×18, plastic ×8, rubber ×8, fiberboard ×6, alloy material ×12.】
That's quite a lot of requirements.
