Chapter 217 Picked Up Someone

After chatting with the squirrel spirit, Lin Liuyi unexpectedly received a distress call from Peng Shanshan.

What's going on? She remembered that this little girl was incredibly lucky.

She fed the other girl snacks, and the little girl gave her car stones as a reward.

"June 1st, it's extremely urgent!" Peng Shanshan said anxiously.

"Why is it another urgent matter? There have been so many urgent matters lately!" Lin Liu thought to himself.

However, she still comforted Peng Shanshan, telling her to speak slowly and wanting to hear what was so urgent.

"On Children's Day, I picked up a person!"

"What?"

Night fell over the seemingly endless highway, and Peng Shanshan's car sped along with the roar of its engine.

The dashboard lights flashed, and outside the car window, the wind howled and darkness stretched endlessly. Only the headlights pierced through a small patch of dim light, illuminating the road ahead.

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of the car.

Peng Shanshan braked suddenly, the tires screeching against the ground, but thankfully no one was hit.

"Two-player mode activated!"

After Peng Shanshan heard the game's announcement, the woman in front of her appeared in her car the next second.

"Save me, I don't want to die!" the woman said before fainting.

Peng Shanshan then realized that she and this woman had become teammates.

Before she could figure out what was going on, acid rain started falling from the sky, corroding the car body.

Peng Shanshan frantically activated the protective devices inside the car, which barely managed to withstand the corrosive effects of acid rain.

As time went on, the scenery along the road became increasingly eerie, with unidentified objects occasionally darting through the darkness.

Peng Shanshan was on edge, staring intently at the unconscious woman.

"Liu Yi, what should I do? Should I save her or not?" She was very distressed.

"Why don't you save them? They're your teammates now, they shouldn't hurt you," Lin Liuyi made the decision for her.

Regardless of what happened to this woman before or why she fainted, the two are now teammates, and two people are better than one.

Peng Shanshan thought about it and realized it made sense. She used the game to check on the other person's condition and found that the other person had actually fainted from hunger.

Peng Shanshan quickly took out a chocolate from the food supplies, gently pried open the woman's mouth, and fed it to her.

A short while later, the woman slowly woke up, and Peng Shanshan quickly handed her water and more chocolate.

"Thank you," the woman said weakly.

"Who are you? Why are you in front of my car? And how did we become teammates?" Peng Shanshan asked a series of questions.

The woman gave a wry smile and slowly said, "My name is Su Yao. Before entering the game, I was a game tester. As for how we became teammates, I don't know."

"How could you faint from hunger? The game has been going on for so long, this shouldn't be happening!" Peng Shanshan said, puzzled.

Maybe she's just lucky and doesn't worry about food, but she's been checking the game chat, where you can exchange anything you find on the road for food, so she shouldn't be starving.

Then Lin Liuyi and Peng Shanshan listened to Su Yao's story.

Su Yao said that as soon as she entered the game, she received a tricycle. As a game tester, she quickly understood how to play the game.

Then she started collecting things along the way to exchange for food and equipment. Gradually, her level increased, and she upgraded her vehicle to a four-wheeled sedan.

"Isn't this great? You're much luckier than me. When I first came in, this damn game actually gave me a unicycle!" Peng Shanshan could hardly forget how she pushed her unicycle across the road when she first entered the game.

"Everything was fine when I first arrived here, but things went wrong after I got a new car." Su Yao recalled her previous days with a sense of satisfaction, but in an instant, only bitterness remained.

Ever since she got a new car, monkeys have been causing trouble whenever she encounters something on the road, making it impossible for her to collect anything.

She couldn't exchange items for food or drinks, nor could she upgrade her car. One day, while driving like this, her car suddenly cracked open.

After the split, her level plummeted, forcing her to start all over again. This time, the game gave her a unicycle.

"Great! At least I'm not the only one pushing a wheelbarrow now!" Although it was a bit out of place, Peng Shanshan still felt a sense of comfort.

After getting the unicycle, Su Yao didn't give up. She started collecting things again from scratch and continued to upgrade it.

Strangely enough, after her level dropped, those mischievous monkeys stopped coming, and she gradually saved up enough to buy a four-wheeled vehicle again.

Her good fortune didn't last long; the same thing happened again. Her car came apart again, and she fell back down.

"Huh? You can do that?" Peng Shanshan didn't understand.

Su Yao was not defeated. With experience, she simply felt that she should start over.

This time, she didn't dare upgrade to a four-wheeled vehicle, but instead chose to upgrade to a three-wheeled vehicle with a canopy.

She thought she would be safe this time, but before long, her car fell apart again.

Su Yao didn't know if she was cursed or if the game was deliberately targeting her. After experiencing the car scattering again, she wanted to give up.

The road was deserted, but she finally decided to get up and continue pushing the wheelbarrow forward.

This time, leveling up seemed to be more difficult for her, and the monkeys reappeared while she was collecting items.

She had to fight the monkeys while collecting things, and it wasn't until she met Peng Shanshan that she upgraded to own a bicycle.

"Sister, you're in a bad situation!" Peng Shanshan looked at her with a complicated expression.

"No, I'm quite lucky to have met you before I fainted from hunger. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid the acid rain outside! I still want to thank you a lot!" After the initial shock subsided, Su Yao regained her resilient personality. She was very grateful that Peng Shanshan hadn't abandoned her.

"Ah, no need, no need, you're my teammate, it's only right!" Peng Shanshan scratched her head shyly.

“As for our teammates, I think the game has moved beyond the first stage and entered the second stage of competition. It’s possible that the game has forcibly paired us up,” Su Yao analyzed the current situation with Peng Shanshan based on her experience playing the game.

However, the two still had no clue how to fight.

Just then, the acid rain stopped, and the surrounding scenery returned to normal.

Su Yao suddenly noticed that there was an extra car on their road, and she quickly alerted Peng Shanshan.

"Is it going to mean we have to compete with them?" Peng Shanshan said nervously.

"I think so, Shanshan, we need to work hard!" Su Yao instantly understood how to play this round.

She shared her guess with Peng Shanshan. Unfortunately, Peng Shanshan's level was low and she didn't have a car, so she couldn't offer Peng Shanshan much of a boost. As a teammate, she could only share her experience.
