The next day,
The battle yesterday, coupled with falling into an illusion, left Ye Feng mentally exhausted.
He didn't wake up until after eight o'clock.
After his luck points were maxed out, Ye Feng had spent 400 usable points to upgrade the [Shop] from lv2 to lv3.
"[Shop lv3]: Refreshes 8 items daily, 100% chance to refresh hot food (can choose whether to refresh), increased chance of appearing blueprints, increased chance of appearing rare items~"
"Hoo~"
Ye Feng exhaled and opened the [Shop].
[Sanitary Napkins x5, Survival Coins 150]
[Mineral Water x2, Survival Coins 100]
[Hot Milk x3, Survival Coins 80]
[Hot Dog x3, Survival Coins 100]
[Pan-fried Buns x3, Survival Coins 180]
[Fried Egg x3, Survival Coins 150]
"Hmm... I specifically chose to refresh hot food yesterday, and there's quite a bit of hot food today~"
"Wait, the prices have gone up!"
After a quick scan, Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
He remembered that sanitary napkins used to cost 20 Survival Coins per pack, but now they were 30. Mineral water used to be 30 Survival Coins per bottle, and now it was 50...
[Silicone Inflatable Doll x1, Survival Coins 10]
"This..."
Seeing this item, Ye Feng's mouth twitched, and his expression became strange.
It seemed the system's [Shop] really had everything...
[C4 Explosive Design and Usage Manual x1, Survival Coins 700]
Immediately, Ye Feng's gaze fell on the last item. "This is the first time the [Shop] has refreshed with something like a book, and it's so expensive..."
"Swish swish swish~"
After some calculations, Ye Feng bought all the items.
Well... including that silicone inflatable doll, it cost a total of 1470, and his luck points reached 12/400.
The reason he bought the silicone inflatable doll wasn't because of any perverted desires, but because it was cheap and could increase important luck points.
After all, to max out luck points in the current [Shop] without refreshing hot food would take a full 50 days...
Afterward, Ye Feng found a secluded spot and purchased all the supplies.
"Damn, this silicone inflatable doll is made so crudely. The body is just a balloon... and the face looks like a child's doodle!"
Looking at the conspicuous silicone inflatable doll among the pile of supplies, Ye Feng was speechless.
"Big brother, you're awake~"
Just then, Xiao Xiao ran over, greeting Ye Feng as she ran.
"Huh? Big brother, who is that person in front of you?"
Before Xiao Xiao's surprised voice faded, Ye Feng had already thrown the silicone inflatable doll into the spatial storage.
"Xiao Xiao, there's a lot of food here, go call Ling Xi, and let's have breakfast together~"
Ye Feng fumbled to pick up the supplies from the ground, handing some to Xiao Xiao and holding some himself, a fine layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Oh, okay~"
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, taking the food, but she couldn't help but wonder, "I clearly saw a figure on the ground just now... was it a hallucination...?"
After checking and seeing no one else, Xiao Xiao was immediately attracted by the aroma of the food.
She stopped dwelling on it and headed towards the Hummer with bags of food.
"Phew~"
Seeing this, Ye Feng breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If Xiao Xiao had seen that just now, and Ling Xi found out, then he...
...
After breakfast,
The three of them continued driving towards the City of Despair.
Ye Feng was somewhat depressed!
Because he had been in a hurry before, the silicone inflatable doll was quite large, and it couldn't fit into the 1 cubic meter spatial rift fragment.
So he put the silicone inflatable doll into the spatial warehouse, which made him feel awkward every time he accessed items...
Because as soon as his consciousness entered the spatial warehouse, he would immediately see the conspicuous silicone inflatable doll...
But it wasn't the right time to discard the thing, especially with the two girls in the car.
Especially the innocent Xiao Xiao, if he threw the silicone inflatable doll out of the car, she would definitely think he had abandoned someone...
"Forget it, I'll study the C4 explosives first~"
Feeling somewhat depressed, Ye Feng decided to distract himself by reading.
He quickly took out the C4 Explosive Design and Usage Manual he had just bought that morning and began to read.
...
At noon,
"Big brother, what are you doing?"
"Are you kneading dough to make noodles?"
Seeing Ye Feng cutting a piece of dough-like substance with a small knife, she couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Xiao, this isn't dough, this is C4 plastic explosive!~"
Ye Feng shook his head as he cut.
"Ah?! Explosives?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's face immediately filled with worry. "Big brother, aren't explosives very dangerous? You..."
"Oh, regular explosives are indeed prone to explosion, but this C4 plastic explosive is a bit special~"
"Although it's a highly efficient and explosive substance, half a kilogram is enough to destroy a truck."
"But it's very stable. Pure high temperatures or encountering fire won't cause it to explode automatically."
"It can only be detonated by a blasting cap or a special detonator. Even if you burn it with a lighter, C4 explosives will only burn slowly..."
"In past wars, soldiers relied on this to keep warm or start fires for cooking..."
Ye Feng explained the C4 explosive knowledge he had been reading all morning to Xiao Xiao.
After speaking, he even cut a small strip of C4 explosive and lit it with a lighter under Xiao Xiao's astonished and worried gaze.
"There's such an explosive..."
Before, Ye Feng had mentioned many dangerous explosives and gunpowder when explaining how to use military hand grenades to Xiao Xiao.
Now, seeing the C4 explosive burning in Ye Feng's hand, Xiao Xiao was very surprised.
It was like seeing a ferocious and wild Siberian tiger suddenly become as docile as a kitten...
"Big brother, let's use this C4 explosive to start a fire and cook our meal this afternoon~"
Xiao Xiao seemed to find it quite interesting.
As she spoke, she took the burning C4 explosive from Ye Feng and walked towards the newly built stove.
Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't object and instead focused on making C4 bombs.
The C4 explosives Ye Feng had bought from the [Shop] were in hundreds of pounds, and the blasting caps were separate.
He had to make various bombs according to his needs...
...
Lunch was dry pot fish and boiled bullfrogs.
Speaking of these two dishes, Xiao Xiao learned about them from someone on the [Regional Chat Channel] lamenting the harsh survival environment of the "Remnant Fire" world and missing the delicacies of the past.
Xiao Xiao told Ling Xi that many people had eaten them and they were incredibly delicious, which made Ling Xi a little greedy.
So, at the crack of dawn, Ling Xi took Xiao Xiao to catch fish and frogs...
"Ling Xi, Angel... you... have you never eaten these home-style dishes before?"
Looking at Ling Xi and Xiao Xiao devouring their food, occasionally sticking out their tongues or taking big gulps of cola due to the spiciness and numbing sensation, Ye Feng was perplexed.
It was understandable that Xiao Xiao, who seemed to have been locked up somewhere terrible, hadn't eaten them.
But Ling Xi, as an angel, not only could fly everywhere but was also so powerful, yet she hadn't eaten these things either?
"No!"
Ling Xi shook her head and picked up another frog leg. "Little one, did you live such a luxurious life before? Home-style dishes?"
Ye Feng: "..."
...
After lunch,
Ye Feng drove the Hummer into the shade.
Xiao Xiao turned on the small electric fan she had traded for on the [Trading Channel], and the three of them began their afternoon nap.
Before long, Ye Feng was snoring soundly, and Xiao Xiao had also closed her eyes.
Ling Xi, however, gazed out of the Hummer's sunroof at the clear blue sky, lost in thought. "Perhaps, being human wouldn't be so bad!~"
