After a long wait, the System's notification chime finally echoed in her mind:
[Reinforcement complete.]
A jolt ran through Suzy. She took a deep breath and turned the key in the ignition.
The truck's engine roared to life with a deep, authoritative rumble. The hum of the turbocharger sounded far richer than before, and the exhaust note turned clean and crisp.
The Earthbind Talisman was already in full effect!
Suzy couldn't wait another second to test out her theory.
She slotted the gear into drive, released the handbrake, and lightly stepped on the gas pedal.
The vehicle glided forward smoothly. As its tires rolled over scattered bricks and shattered concrete blocks lining the road, the body merely shook with a mild tremor before instantly regaining its balance.
So steady!
Suzy pressed a bit harder on the accelerator, bringing the speed up.
