Yi Nian Zhi Jian: "Okay."
Qiao Nian had no objections whatsoever.
The other party initiated the trade, and Qiao Nian hurriedly went to the online shopping app to purchase the items needed for the exchange.
She not only needed to buy the materials for the trade, but she also made sure to arrange for the self-heating hot pots she had promised to give away.
Since the other party did not specify any particular needs, Qiao Nian simply bought them in bulk wholesale quantities.
When the trade was completed, Qiao Nian's collection of materials had grown by four new types.
The assist spring, rubber pad, storage module fragments, and anti-slip tire tread patches had all arrived, and there was even a surplus in quantity.
She was now only missing a sealed engine oil and a high-intensity LED light set away from the next upgrade.
Qiao Nian's mood was extremely excited.
If she upgraded again, even if she couldn't upgrade the vehicle into one with a roof, she would at least be able to expand the space once more.
As long as the space could be increased, even by just a little bit, she wouldn't have to curl up in such a cramped and stifling way as she was doing now.
Sister-in-law I am My Brother was indeed a very reliable person. In less than half an hour, he came to trade with Qiao Nian again, and this time, the last two remaining materials were finally all gathered together.
Without a single moment of hesitation, Qiao Nian immediately clicked on the upgrades one by one, and finally confirmed the overall vehicle upgrade.
Thus, the players in the entire district, and even the players in the entire server, once again heard the system broadcast.
[Congratulations to player Yi Nian Zhi Jian for becoming the first player in this district to successfully upgrade to a Level 3 vehicle! Special reward: Red Treasure Chest * 3!]
[Congratulations to player Yi Nian Zhi Jian for becoming the first player in the entire server to successfully upgrade to a Level 3 vehicle! Special reward: Golden Treasure Chest * 3!]
Happiness came so suddenly—so suddenly that Qiao Nian didn't even have time to examine the changes to her vehicle in detail before her whole body gave a jolt and she fell over.
The tent that was originally wedged diagonally into the shopping cart now completely toppled over to the side, and Qiao Nian's previously curled-up legs instinctively stretched out.
They stretched out, and they stretched out completely straight at that.
"I can stretch my legs and lie down?!"
Qiao Nian kicked her legs a few times in pleasant surprise, and after confirming that she could indeed straighten them completely, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Not only did she laugh, she even rolled around.
Although she could only roll two and a half turns to the left and two and a half turns to the right, she was finally able to roll around after all.
Rolling from the left to the right, and then from the right back to the middle, Qiao Nian finally climbed up and went to the tent entrance.
Originally, the distance between the tent entrance and the side wall of the shopping cart was only about ten centimeters, but now it looked like it was at least twenty or thirty centimeters.
The space had indeed increased, but the smile on Qiao Nian's face slowly faded piece by piece.
The shopping cart was still a shopping cart, just enlarged and widened; its exterior was still that of a shopping cart.
And because the size of the shopping cart had increased once again, the sunshade net that could previously barely cover the body of the shopping cart had transformed directly from a floor-sweeping skirt into a knee-length skirt.
The plastic sheeting could also no longer maintain its pinned-down state because the shopping cart had grown larger; at this moment, one side had been blown away, fluttering in the wind directly against the other side of the shopping cart and making a rustling sound.
Qiao Nian silently retreated back into the tent and zipped it up securely.
Very well, until the heavy rain stopped, she had no intention of stepping out of the tent.
Just from those few glances she had just taken, she had been pelted in the face by rainwater, which was ice-cold and carried a rather complex odor.
"Don't tell me it's acid rain!"
Realizing this belatedly, Qiao Nian no longer cared whether the water was cold or not; she immediately started washing her face with water made from melted ice cubes.
Hiss!
Refreshing to the core and thoroughly exhilarating was the only way to describe it.
After washing her face, she didn't dare open the zipper to pour the water out, so she simply stored the washbasin into the system space.
[Master, how can you store dirty water in here?]
The Golden Finger suddenly threw a fit.
Qiao Nian rolled her eyes: "What dirty water? Do you even know how to talk? What I'm doing is not wasting water resources; the water can still be used to wash clothes, wash rags, and even wipe down my body, and finally mop the ground. How can you call that dirty water?"
The Golden Finger jammed.
Was it even possible to put it that way?
This seemed a little different from its system settings!
Actually, Qiao Nian was also worried that the Golden Finger System would throw a tantrum over such a small matter, and just as she was thinking of smoothing things over, she heard the Golden Finger speak again.
[Al-, although what you said sounds like it makes a teeny-tiny bit of sense, b-, but water that has been used more than three times, even if it might still have many uses later, must absolutely not be put into the system space anymore! If you insist on putting it in, th-, then put it into the game System Inventory instead!]
Tsk, what a classic move of sacrificing others to save oneself!
Qiao Nian was almost amused to laughter, but she managed to hold it in and nodded with utmost seriousness: "Okay, I'll remember that."
She remembered it now, but whether she would still remember it in the future—well, she would deal with that when the time came!
How could the Golden Finger possibly anticipate all those twists and turns, and even less could it imagine that its bottom line would be breached over and over and over again?
With the vehicle upgraded once more, Qiao Nian was in a great mood and decided to open a treasure chest to celebrate.
The red treasure chest she had opened previously yielded an item that could expand inventory slots; if she could pull another one out, she would have even more usable space.
The red treasure chest appeared before her, and just as Qiao Nian was about to reach out and open it, she heard the Golden Finger System speak up again.
[Master, the storm is about to pass!]
Qiao Nian's outstretched hand paused, and she instinctively wanted to look outside, but she couldn't see a thing.
She was inside the tent now, not wrapped in plastic sheeting, making it completely impossible to see the situation outside.
"Right, use the navigation!"
Qiao Nian thought of the navigation that cost one yuan per minute—if she didn't use it now, when would she?
Opening the navigation app and zooming in on the screen, sure enough, it displayed the real-time imagery of the surrounding ten-kilometer radius.
Truly, you wouldn't know unless you looked, but looking at this made her heart clog up like a lump of iron.
