Although filled with doubt and some frustration, Ye Feng eventually bought everything.
Firstly, to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and secondly, to increase his luck value.
As streaks of light flashed by, the luck value in the upper right corner of the [Shop] changed to 8/400.
Immediately, Ye Feng communicated with the system again and spent 400 usable points to upgrade the [Shop] from lv4 to lv5.
"Ding!"
A clear beep sounded, and the [Shop] instantly completed its upgrade.
"[Shop lv5]: Daily refresh of 8 items. Probability of refreshing hot food/cold food is 100% (can be controlled freely). High probability of refreshing top-grade items!~"
"Each refresh of hot food/cold food will also grant an additional 1 luck point!"
Several mechanical system voices entered Ye Feng's mind.
"Huh, this is great. The luck value cap is still 400 even after upgrading?!"
Looking at the luck value column in the upper right corner of the [Shop], Ye Feng was quite pleased. He had been worried that after the upgrade, the cap might be 800 or something similar, which would take a long time to fill...
"Big brother, what is this big metal lump?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's somewhat confused voice rang out.
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Feng with her sleepy eyes.
"Uh, that's a nuclear bomb!~"
Ye Feng turned his head and saw that the big metal lump Xiao Xiao was referring to was the nuclear bomb he had bought just a few minutes ago.
This nuclear bomb was not the kind that could be mounted on a missile for launch, but rather one equipped with a timer...
"What is a nuclear bomb?"
Xiao Xiao obviously had no concept of nuclear bombs and looked at Ye Feng with confusion.
"Uh... it's a super powerful bomb, and it has radiation... Radiation is something that silently harms the human body and cannot be seen with the naked eye..."
Ye Feng quickly explained to Xiao Xiao.
"Is that so~"
After listening to Ye Feng's explanation, Xiao Xiao looked at the nuclear bomb not far in front of her, her eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao. As long as the nuclear bomb hasn't exploded or leaked, there won't be any radiation!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately added.
"Oh, that's good~!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's furrowed brow immediately relaxed.
"Speaking of which, this spatial warehouse is clearly not enough!"
Ye Feng muttered, glancing at the small wooden cabin, which was almost full of various supplies and looked quite messy, but he had no good solution at the moment.
Although he had gained a lot from Mech City, he hadn't found any new, unused spatial rift fragments...
"I wonder where I can find Gargoyles to kill..."
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but miss the Gargoyle monster he had encountered before, even though that Gargoyle had almost taken his life...
...
After washing up, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao tidied up their belongings a bit, and then set off in the Hummer.
They were not particularly far from Mech City yet, and many of the exploration teams or refugees they encountered were heading towards Mech City...
Ye Feng didn't always sit in the car with Xiao Xiao. He hadn't forgotten to train his physical fitness, and would occasionally push the Hummer forward, especially on very rugged terrain.
During this time, Ye Feng once even carried the Hummer diagonally on his shoulder and passed through a narrow mountain stream, causing passersby to look on in astonishment, their jaws almost dropping...
Of course, more often than not, Xiao Xiao would drive the Hummer at a steady pace while Ye Feng carried a large rock and ran or leaped alongside...
...
As time passed, the people Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao encountered along the way gradually decreased, and the environment became more desolate, with frequent appearances of various fierce beasts.
...
One noon,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao parked the Hummer under a large tree and then ate at a place that looked like an inn.
Because the two of them had grown tired of dry rations and cooking... they had also grown tired of cooking, after all, both Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao only knew how to make a few dishes...
The inn in front of them looked like it had a good environment, the ingredients were freshly killed and cooked, and they were even prepared in front of the diners...
Soon, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao ordered several servings of fragrant grilled lamb and smoked ham, and enjoyed them with cola.
"Little girl, here, have a drink!"
Just as Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were happily drinking cola and eating grilled meat, a middle-aged man suddenly approached Xiao Xiao with a cup of wine and said loudly.
"Huh? Are you talking to me?"
Xiao Xiao looked around and, finding no other girls present, looked at the middle-aged man holding the wine with some confusion.
"Of course!"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Here, little girl, this is from Brother Hu!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to a burly man sitting at a table under a large tree not far away and then offered the wine in his hand to Xiao Xiao, a trace of cunning flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Brother Hu?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao frowned. "I don't know any Brother Hu, and I don't want to drink his wine!"
"Little girl, that's not right!"
"If someone offers you a drink, it means they respect you. Why can't you drink it?"
Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, the middle-aged man's expression immediately turned cold.
"I don't know him, why should he respect me?!"
Xiao Xiao retorted and ignored the other party, continuing to eat her grilled lamb skewers.
Because the chef at this inn had good skills, the grilled lamb skewers were delicious and fragrant, with no gamey smell...
"You little brat, don't t"
The middle-aged man was instantly enraged and directly cursed, but he was interrupted by a deep voice.
"Hey, Ah Huang, you can't be so rude to a little girl! Be polite!"
The speaker was the Brother Hu the middle-aged man had just mentioned, and the one who had sent the middle-aged man to offer "wine" to Xiao Xiao.
Brother Hu was a burly man with a shaved head, and large tattoos on his chest and neck, looking fierce and menacing.
"Buddy, let's get acquainted. I am Xiao Hu, known as Kunshan Brother Hu!"
Saying that, Xiao Hu sat down next to Ye Feng and put his hand on Ye Feng's shoulder, squeezing hard.
Ye Feng seemed unaware of the other's hand, took a sip of cola from the glass bottle, and picked up another lamb skewer to eat.
Seeing this, Xiao Hu's eyes turned cold. The hand on Ye Feng's shoulder suddenly exerted force, and Xiao Hu's arm bulged with veins, muscles showing!
"This..."
Xiao Hu was very surprised.
Because the force he had used to grip Ye Feng's shoulder was enough to crush a small stone, but Ye Feng's seemingly ordinary physique remained motionless, and his face showed no expression of pain.
