The next morning,
Amidst the grand procession of villagers, their families in tow, offering blessings and good wishes, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao embarked on their new journey.
"I'll grow up to be a great explorer like Big Brother Ye!"
As Ye Feng gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiao Hu declared with a determined expression.
Grandpa Xiao Hu looked at Xiao Hu, who was clenching his fists, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Um... should we erect a statue for the great explorer Ye Feng!"
"Sure, there's a large stone at the entrance to the town. I used to be a sculptor!"
"Let's go!"
...
At noon,
After Xiao Xiao and Ye Feng finished their lunch, they were resting in the shade of a large tree in a valley.
"Big Brother, why aren't you riding your bike?"
Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Feng with some confusion.
This morning, for half the day, Ye Feng hadn't ridden his KTM 450 EXC, but had instead carried it on his shoulder as he walked, which looked quite strange. Sudan Novel Network.
"Oh, I'm exercising,"
Ye Feng replied lazily from the ground.
Although riding the KTM 450 EXC would have made progress much easier, Ye Feng didn't want to do that now.
Yesterday, he learned from the system that to improve his physical limits, he needed to constantly exercise, which led to the scene of Ye Feng carrying his motorcycle.
"Hmm... it's a bit of a shame."
Ye Feng looked in a certain direction, where he had previously stored five bottles of black powder.
He still hadn't figured out how to safely carry those five bottles of black powder with him, and he and Xiao Xiao would soon pass that location.
"Hoo~"
Ye Feng let out a breath and then expertly opened the [Shop].
[Su Fei Sanitary Napkins x1, Survival Coins 20]
[Cheese Tarts x3, Survival Coins 30]
[Hua Lai Tu Fried Chicken and Coke Set x1, Survival Coins 10]
[Iodine Tincture x1, Survival Coins 30]
[Barrett M82A1 x1, Survival Coins 300]
"Whoa, there's a heavy sniper rifle!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
Although the Barrett M82A1 is a sniper rifle, more people call it a "cannon sniper" or "big gun" because of its immense power.
Its single shot is so powerful that it can penetrate walls and kill people from a kilometer away. Without any obstacles, if it hits the waist directly, it can even tear a person in half...
[Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Survival Coins 999999999999...]
"Wait, this... this is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"
Ye Feng, who was about to buy the Barrett M82A1, suddenly stopped because he saw an item that he found hard to believe.
"A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? Is this [Shop] this outrageous, to have something like this?!"
Ye Feng was very surprised. As he was contemplating buying it, the price behind the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier doused him with cold water.
"This price..."
Seeing the string of nines, Ye Feng was so depressed that he didn't even bother to count how many there were. In any case, he definitely couldn't afford it now.
"Hoo~"
"It's land now, so I don't need a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for the time being. I can buy it later if I encounter the ocean."
Ye Feng took a deep breath and quickly comforted himself to calm his mood.
Then, Ye Feng calculated and first bought the Barrett M82A1, and then bought other items he could afford, for a total of 390 Survival Coins.
"It's a bit of a shame. I could have maxed out my luck today."
"Now that I've bought one less item, I have to wait another day to max it out."
Looking at 99/100 next to the luck value in the top left corner of the [Shop], Ye Feng was quite depressed.
He had observed before that once the luck value was maxed out, it wouldn't increase further. It would only reset to zero after a refresh.
In other words, even if he bought all six items tomorrow, his luck value would only be 100/100, not 105/100.
"But shouldn't my luck value be 99 today?"
Ye Feng was a little suspicious. He had roughly calculated before, and it seemed he was still a little short.
"Big Brother, what is this? It smells so good~"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice rang out.
She had been lying at the base of the big tree and, seeing a pile of things suddenly appear next to Ye Feng, she curiously came over to investigate.
As soon as Xiao Xiao reached Ye Feng, she was attracted by a scent of food she had never smelled before.
"Oh, those are cheese tarts~ And that's the Hua Lai Tu fried chicken and coke set~"
Ye Feng replied after checking the packaging.
"Huh? They're actually warm?"
Feeling the heat emanating from the packaging bags, Ye Feng was very surprised.
Because the items that had appeared before were all at room temperature, and today, he found some that were warm.
"System, what's going on?"
Ye Feng immediately asked.
"The [Shop] has been upgraded to [Shop Lv1]. After the first time you max out your luck value, there's a chance to refresh with hot food daily!"
"Refreshing with hot food grants an additional +1 luck value!"
The system's voice sounded immediately.
"Oh, I see."
"I knew it, the luck value wasn't just short by 1. It turned out to be an extra 2 points of luck value!"
After understanding, Ye Feng opened the cheese tart box, took out a tart, and said, "Xiao Xiao, this is for you!~"
"Big Brother, you eat it. I've already eaten my fill,"
Although she was drooling with desire, Xiao Xiao, who knew the preciousness of food, waved her hand.
"Eat it, these cheese tarts are best eaten hot. They don't taste good when they're cold."
Ye Feng handed the tart to Xiao Xiao and took one for himself.
Of course, Ye Feng also gave the remaining cheese tart to Xiao Xiao, who was chronically malnourished, needed nutrition, and had never eaten a cheese tart before.
Xiao Xiao ate it bite by bite, her pretty face filled with happiness~
Meanwhile, Ye Feng looked at the Hua Lai Tu fried chicken and coke set with a conflicted expression.
In the end, Ye Feng decided to forgo enjoying this set, which might cause digestive issues. After all, judging by its price, this set was cheaper than a small bun.
Moreover, the coke was at room temperature, which further diminished Ye Feng's interest.
In Ye Feng's opinion, coke that isn't cold has no soul!
Afterward, Ye Feng listed it on the [Trading Channel].
[Hua Lai Tu Fried Chicken and Coke Set: Just got it. The fried chicken is still warm, but the coke is at room temperature. Looking to trade for other food, Survival Coins or blueprints are best!]
It wasn't long after Ye Feng posted it that he received several messages.
Message: "Holy crap, there's such a thing. Bro, how did you get it?"
Message: "Probably got it from opening a treasure chest. I've gotten chicken legs too, but yours seems to be warm..."
Message: "Damn, the classic 'explosive' meal!"
Message: "Coke without ice has no soul!"
Guo Jia, who loves to eat small bean pastries, messaged: "I don't have food, but I have a blueprint for a solar-powered flashlight. I'll trade you, how about it?"
Message: "The guy upstairs is crazy, that's an 'explosive' meal!"
Guo Jia, who loves to eat small bean pastries, messaged: "Am I someone who's afraid of 'explosions'?!"
...
"Are these guys treating the [Trading Channel] as a chat room?"
Ye Feng was a bit speechless, and then he reached an agreement with Guo Jia, who had the ID "Guo Jia who loves to eat small bean pastries."
After all, the flashlight beam from the [Shop] he had bought before was already quite dim, and he needed to plan ahead for lighting at night.
A flash of light passed, and a board similar to the water purifier blueprint appeared in Ye Feng's hand. He casually placed it into his portable space.
Next, Ye Feng began to examine the map Xiao Xiao had drawn.
It had to be said that Xiao Xiao had a real talent for this. The drawing was excellent, with clear lines and distinct directions. Some iconic peaks, rivers, and buildings were specifically marked.
"Wait... this location!"
As he scanned the map drawn by Xiao Xiao and then flipped through his own notebook, Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed.
"Xiao Xiao, are you sure the place we're going to next is this location?"
Ye Feng pointed to a place on the map for Xiao Xiao to see.
"Mm-hmm!"
Xiao Xiao leaned over, looked for a moment, and nodded, asking with some confusion, "What's wrong, Big Brother?"
"It's that place!"
...
