Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 The Silver Chest

"Upgrading to level two requires 3 intermediate electronic components, 6 copper blocks, 3 silver blocks, 6 glass, and 6 plastics."

Upon seeing these materials, Shen Muyu frowned slightly. Putting everything else aside, this intermediate electronic component alone didn't seem like something easy to obtain, and it even required three more to upgrade.

With a silent sigh, Shen Muyu turned on the car lights. Let's go, we'll eventually collect them all!

The tunnel in front of us was suddenly illuminated by the car headlights.

The tunnel is wide enough to accommodate four cars driving side by side, but it is also very flat. You can see the top of the tunnel at a glance, and it's only about two or three meters away from the car, which makes you feel very depressed.

Moreover, Shen Muyu's car looks somewhat like a Wuling Hongguang from the inside, and the rear compartment is not small, so it is much larger than a private car, which makes it even more uncomfortable in the confined tunnel.

"If this were a big truck, it would probably have reached the top of the mountain by now." Shen Muyu shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and started the car.

Actually, she didn't know how to drive before, since she always had a professional driver with her whenever she went out.

However, during those years of hardship, she drove an unlicensed taxi at night to make a living. With her fearless spirit, she became quite skilled at it. Unfortunately, due to some inexplicable force, she was forced to stop after only a few months for various reasons.

At first, she only suspected that Gu Wenchen was secretly plotting against her, but later she was forced to ask Gu Wenchen for help.

Gu Wenchen told her with a mocking smile that he didn't bother to take action, because the world would naturally reject her, and as long as she lived, she was only fit to eke out a living.

Shen Muyu didn't believe it when she heard this, but Gu Wenchen later proved her wrong with his actions. She really was just a supporting character abandoned by the world.

Once her role ends, she can only live a life of humiliation in a corner; she cannot escape that predetermined fate.

Unbearable memories kept surfacing in his mind, but Shen Muyu's gaze grew increasingly resolute.

This game might just be the turning point for her to change her destiny. Here, those vague and predetermined paths will no longer be the cage that confines her. She must live a life that truly belongs to her.

The car was moving slowly, at a speed of about 40 or 50 miles per hour.

It wasn't that Shen Muyu didn't want to drive fast, but this dark tunnel wasn't a straight line, but a winding curve, and sometimes there would be a sudden near right angle turn, and if you weren't careful, you might crash into the stone wall.

The dim, enclosed environment, coupled with the increasingly stifling heat, made Shen Muyu feel irritable. With his thin lips slightly pursed, beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead.

Fortunately, Shen Muyu soon saw a box in the middle of the road ahead, but the headlights were too bright to see clearly and he didn't know what it was made of.

After parking the car next to the box, Shen Muyu picked up the diamond axe and got out of the car. The car door was not closed so that he could get back into the car in time if there was any danger.

Apart from the sound of the car engine, the only other sound in the cave was the dripping of water. Although the environment was damp, it was a bit cooler than inside the car.

After sensing that there was nothing unusual around him, Shen Muyu no longer hesitated and turned his gaze directly to the resource box. Unlike the wooden box mentioned in the area chat, this box was silver-white and had a lustrous glow, so it was obviously not an ordinary box.

The box wasn't the kind that could be opened directly; it had a lock. According to Gu Wenchen, the lock wasn't difficult to break; it could be broken by smashing it a few times.

Shen Muyu raised the axe and chopped down hard at the lock, but she froze for a second.

The axe easily cut through the iron lock and fell heavily to the ground, half of it embedded in the soil. The force from the reverse side of the axe handle even made Shen Muyu jolt, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

Shen Muyu immediately pulled out the axe with all her might. She was relieved to see that it was unharmed. She would have been heartbroken if it had been cut open.

After gripping the axe tightly again, Shen Muyu carefully pried open the lid with the tip of the axe. He then took a step back and gripped the axe with both hands in a defensive stance. Only after seeing that the box did he cautiously walk forward.

The box contained quite a few items, and Shen Muyu even saw the blueprints she had been longing for. From Gu Wenchen's words, she knew that the drop rate for these items was low, and although they might not be useful, having them was still a source of joy.

Materials: 2 rubber blocks, 1 iron block

Materials: 1 piece of wood/hemp rope

Seeing the two blueprints, Shen Muyu smiled with relief. Putting aside everyday necessities like toilet paper, tires were extremely important to her.

The road inside the tunnel wasn't a smooth highway, but a rough gravel road, with some places even having small potholes eroded by water. This caused a lot of wear and tear on the tires, and they might break down any day. This was a really good blueprint.

After stuffing the blueprints into his pocket, Shen Muyu began to look through the other items.

Military medical kit: Highly effective! A life-saving kit!

Includes: 3 hemostatic bandages, 3 fast-acting antipyretics, 3 antibiotics, 1 liter of alcohol, and 3 gauze pads.

<6 wooden blocks>

Seeing the remaining items, Shen Muyu couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of the box; it not only provided blueprints but also prepared all the necessary materials.

After picking up the box and placing it in the passenger seat, Shen Muyu opened the first-aid kit, took out a fever reducer, and swallowed it.

Just moments before being transported to this world, she was standing in the rain in front of Gu Wenchen's villa. Coupled with working non-stop for many days, her body was already exhausted. She only managed to get here by relying on that electric current and her own willpower.

Perhaps it was because the fever reducer was working, but Shen Muyu felt slightly dizzy. She placed the back of her hand on her forehead and gently closed her eyes to relieve the dizziness.

"I wonder how Dad and the others are doing," Shen Muyu muttered to herself. Her father's condition had worsened, forcing him to undergo emergency surgery.

However, she had no money to afford the expensive surgery, and her friends had long since distanced themselves from her because of Gu Wenchen, so no one was willing to lend a helping hand.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask Gu Wenchen for help, but even after being soaked in the rain outside the villa all night, she still couldn't see Gu Wenchen. She was transported to this world the moment she fainted.

After the dizziness subsided, Shen Muyu shook her head to keep herself awake and left the spot. Time was tight, so she had to run a little further, since the longer the road, the greater the chance of finding resource boxes. Her family was waiting for her in another place.

Perhaps because the first box had used up all his luck, Shen Muyu only encountered four wooden boxes in the next three hours, and what he got were basically some materials and food and drinks.

Feeling the stiffness in her hands and feet, Shen Muyu stopped. Her nerves had become extremely tense from driving in such dark conditions, and even with her strong will, her body was giving her a negative response. She needed to rest.
