Chapter 7 Personal Butler 002
Pei Hening's gaze fell on the sentence sent by Old Transparent Person; it seemed that the Wandering Main City she saw during the closed beta really existed.
She remembered the living beings in the Wandering Main City back then—they didn't seem like NPCs without self-awareness, so did they really exist too?
"Ge Ge, have you been to the Wandering Main City? What's inside?"
Chu Xuange suddenly heard her mention the Wandering Main City, and his gaze shifted down to the pair of bracelets on her wrist.
"I've been there. It has everything, including Resurrection Items."
Resurrection Items?
Pei Hening frowned in thought and spoke tentatively, "Can I understand it as all of us carbon-based life forms pulled into Road Survival have been fully digitized?"
Otherwise, how could something as heaven-defying as Resurrection Items exist?
Chu Xuange confirmed her thoughts: "To be precise, we were fully digitized the moment we entered the game. Besides Resurrection Items, some people possess Resurrection Skills. Both Resurrection Items and Resurrection Skills have conditions for use."
"The prerequisite for having a Resurrection Skillis activating a Talent."
Pei Hening said in surprise, "Talents need to be activated? Weren't they drawn at the start?"
"No. Only those who participated in the closed beta could draw a Talent directly. Others who want a Talent need to collect mysterious fragments to draw one. mysterious fragments cannot be sold or transferred, and everyone can collect them, which means those who participated in the closed beta will have Dual Talents."
Chu Xuange only learned after suffering a great loss that those who participated in the closed beta had Dual Talents.
He watched Pei Hening deep in thought and smiled, "It's still early for all of this. Don't think too much."
Pei Hening gave Chu Xuange a resentful look. Ever since she found out they had life-and-death enemies, her pressure had been skyrocketing.
Learning about Resurrection Skills, mysterious fragments, and Dual Talents made her pressure even greater.
With a cold face, Pei Hening climbed up from the ground, patted the dust off her pants, and continued looking for boxes.
She needed to develop as quickly as possible while she hadn't encountered those destined to become enemies yet.
At the very least, she had to upgrade her vehicle first; using roller skates all the time wasn't a long-term solution.
Seeing that she was clearly pumped up, Chu Xuange also went back to opening boxes.
Although his monster spawn rate was higher than others, the experience he gained was also more than others. In a sense, this could be considered a good thing.
6:00 PM.
Chu Xuange sent over the vehicle upgrade cards he had collected along with the upgrade materials Pei Hening needed.
「Materials required for upgrade: vehicle upgrade card 9/5, Wooden Plank 19/4, Wheel 4/4, Screw 17/4, Gear 9/4 (Upgrade conditions met, click to upgrade)」
She immediately clicked upgrade. A flash of white light passed before her eyes, and the pair of roller skates in front of her disappeared, replaced by a skateboard.
「Vehicle: Enhanced Electric Skateboard (Can still be used without power)
Maximum Speed (Little Hour): 30 km
Power Consumption (per 100 km): 5 kWh.
Current Mileage: 0 km
Today's Target Mileage: 20 km (Completed)
Materials required for upgrade: vehicle upgrade card 10, Chain 2, Gear 20, Screw 30, Spring 6, Tire 2, Iron Sheet 12, Battery 2」
Electric skateboard?
Pei Hening picked up the skateboard and found the battery compartment at the bottom.
A battery was already installed inside, but it didn't have much power left.
"Server-wide Announcement! Congratulations to player [Di Bi Di Bi] for becoming the first player to upgrade their vehicle with absolute strength and perseverance! Like a rising sun, you have set a benchmark for all players and are leading the entire server!"
The system announcement rang three times in a row.
「Congratulations to player [Di Bi Di Bi] for triggering a server-wide announcement. Special Reward Gift Box *1 has been issued」
As soon as the server-wide announcement came out, Pei Hening looked at Chu Xuange. She held back her laughter for a long time and asked, "Ge Ge, did you offend the game system? Why was it such a perfunctory announcement when you got the first kill, but for me, it used so many fancy words?"
Chu Xuange really didn't know. Every district's system had a different personality, and he hadn't dealt with this Game System 999 in his past life. Seeing the mischievous smile in her eyes, he said helplessly, "Maybe it just simply doesn't like me?"
"The chat channel is boiling. You can go in and check out the excitement."
Chu Xuange saw that she still wanted to tease him and silently diverted her attention.
After Pei Hening gave him the remaining upgrade materials, she clicked into the chat channel.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: Which big shot is this now? Another server-wide announcement triggered.
[Fugitive Mermaid]: Are Di Bi Di Bi and Ning Ning Little Princess from our district? I really want them to release a guide.
[Young Master Smiled Again]: Ning Ning Little Princess is from our district. On the day of the first kill announcement, someone searched through the names of all one hundred thousand players in our district. As for Di Bi Di Bi, I don't know.
[Flower Blooms with Wealth]: Upgrade materials are extremely hard to collect. I wonder why Di Bi Di Bi can upgrade so fast? Could they be cheating?
[Smoking Sorrow Not Tobacco]: I'm really impressed. Someone can collect vehicle upgrade materials in two days, while I'm still starving!
[Shark Ten Years]: Am I the only one who noticed that the wording for these two server-wide announcements is very different?
[Cold Heart]: LMAO, the first kill announcement for Ning Ning Little Princess was really perfunctory compared to Di Bi Di Bi's upgrade announcement. Visibly perfunctory.
[Stop Fighting]: Am I the only one curious whether this player named Di Bi Di Bi is male or female?
[I Can Smash You to Death with Money]: Whether they're male or female is none of your business. Stop meddling!
[Fugitive Mermaid]: Money Brother, don't be so mean~ I'm feeling scared even through the chat channel~.
[I Can Smash You to Death with Money]:...I'm leaving.
[Young Master Smiled Again]: Hilarious. It seems the Fugitive Mermaid has found I Can Smash You to Death with Money's weakness.
Pei Hening opened the special reward gift box from the system. Inside was a smooth, round little ball and a [vehicle helicopter card]
She took out the little ball and asked, "Ge Ge, what is this?"
Chu Xuange said, "A Personal Butler. I have one too, but it hasn't been activated yet. I originally planned to give it to you once your vehicle becomes a car; it can assist with driving."
"Now I have one too. You should activate yours."
Chu Xuange nodded. Personal Butlers are very helpful to players, and there can only be three in each district.
Pei Hening activated the Personal Butlerfollowing his method. The smooth white ball flew in the air and even made some cute mechanical expressions.
"Hello, dear player [Di Bi Di Bi]. I am Personal Butler No. 002. It is a pleasure to serve you."
Pei Hening glanced at the little thing twice and didn't respond.
She took out her bed, washed up briefly, and collapsed onto it. With her round, beautiful eyes wide open, she looked at Chu Xuange curiously: "Are you not ready to rest yet?"
