Chapter 12 Teacher Shuxiao
Pei Hening has completed today's target milestone.
Right now, she's holding up the pretty parasol her boyfriend gave her, and eating the chocolate ice cream he gave her to cool off.
During this short break, she and 002 sorted out the vehicle upgrade materials they had acquired through the trade.
As soon as she received the upgrade materials, she upgraded her "enhanced electric skateboard".
The upgrade took ten minutes.
Her upgrade wasn't the fastest across the entire server, and it didn't trigger a server-wide announcement.
Vehicle: Enhanced Little Sheep Electric Scooter (Level 3)
Maximum speed (per hour): 50 km/h
Power consumption (per 100 kilometers): 4 kWh
Current mileage: 0 km
Today's target mileage: 100km (Completed)
Upgrade materials required: Vehicle Upgrade Card*30, Slab Iron*12, Iron Sheet*4, Gear*30, Screw*60, Glass*8, Spring*20, Cloth*10, Tire*4, Battery*5, Energy Stone*1
She only needed the energy stone to upgrade to level four, but she had never seen an energy stone before.
Different vehicles require different upgrade materials.
Chu Xuange's vehicle leveled up to level two in the middle of the night on the fifth day of the newbie protection period, transforming from a dilapidated tricycle into a dilapidated van.
She gave Chu Xuange the materials needed to advance to the third rank.
"I need special materials to upgrade to level four. See if you need them too."
Chu Xuange was utterly helpless when he saw her new vehicle.
How could some unlucky guy upgrade his vehicle three times in a row and still not be able to upgrade it to a vehicle that can provide shelter from the wind and rain?
Well, in some ways his baby is pretty lucky. At least the current map is "scorching hot" instead of the despairing weather like hail, thunderstorms, acid rain, heavy snow, hurricanes, etc. that require hiding in vehicles.
"I'll upgrade and see."
Vehicle: Dilapidated RV (Tier 3)
Maximum speed (per hour): 120 km/h
Fuel consumption (per 100 kilometers): 10 liters
Current mileage: 0 km
Today's target mileage: 100km (Completed)
Upgrade materials required: Vehicle Upgrade Card*40, Wooden Plank*40, Gear*80, Screw*90, Spring*160, Tire*8, Sheet Metal*50, Iron Sheet*40, Iron Block*16, Plastic*20, Cloth*80, Glass*20
He sent over the materials needed to upgrade to level four.
"I don't have any special materials. What are your special materials? Let me see if I have any here."
Pei Hening saw that the materials she had were enough to upgrade Chu Xuange's vehicle one more time, so she gave them to him: "Energy stones, I don't even know what these are."
Chu Xuange frowned: "Energy stones are the top ten rewards in random game dungeons. If I encounter them, I'll win them back."
The road game has two types of game instances: random game instances and fixed game instances.
Random game instances are triggered randomly; you might find yourself in one while driving, or it might be triggered randomly at a game site.
Fixed game instances include "shuffling" games, regional games, and "competition" games before the end of the map.
Compared to Chu Xuange, who was frantically trying to level her up, she wasn't in such a hurry. "You've got all the upgrade materials~ When are you going to level up to level four?"
"In a little while."
Chu Xuange prepared a bowl of fragrant cold rice noodles, a dish of cucumber salad, and a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice for her.
They finished eating and then set off on time.
——
Parking lot for the highway school.
There were twelve cars parked sparsely inside, indicating that twelve students had already arrived.
After Pei Hening parked her electric scooter in the parking space, a dilapidated RV was parked in the space next to it.
The man opened the car door, strode to Pei Hening's side, naturally held an umbrella for her, put his arm around her waist, and happily buried his head in the crook of her neck.
His cool lips brushed against the soft flesh of her neck, sucking on it until he said in a muffled voice, "Baby, I missed you."
Pei Hening nudged his head: "Are you wearing your student name tag?"
Chu Xuange knew she was hot, so he cooperated with her movements and let go of her: "I've put it on."
Pei Hening squinted at him; Chu Xuange had changed.
Before the arrival of the road game, he was like a high and mighty god, strategizing and looking down on all living beings; but now he is like a peerless divine weapon with a sharpened edge, dangerous, powerful, and unruly from the inside out.
Pei Hening gazed at him for a long time, then gently hugged him back and said tenderly, "Gege, you've worked hard."
He must have suffered a lot, otherwise how could a top young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth into a wealthy and powerful family have changed so much?
Chu Xuange's eyes burned with desire. He turned his head slightly, not wanting her to see his disheveled appearance, and calmly said, "Let's go, to the teaching building."
The buildings of the highway school were like a dream, and Pei Hening also saw several small floating islands.
The teaching building is like a giant, hundred-meter-tall tree that blocks out the sky.
Huge bird nests are perched on the branches of the giant tree, where all sorts of birds fly about. Circles of white, misty light swirl around the tree, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Beneath the giant tree, a large expanse of pale purple flowers blooms, creating a dreamlike scene as the wind blows through them, resembling purple waves.
They walked along the stone path toward the giant tree.
Once inside the giant tree's range, Chu Xuange turned the umbrella into a card and put it into his card album, then led Pei Hening inside.
Beneath the giant tree stood a creature that resembled a human, with shoulder-length green hair, wearing a white-gold magic robe, and a leather belt around her waist adorned with various gems. Unlike humans, she had two ears on her head, which drooped listlessly.
Pei Hening saw her nameplate—Shuxiao.
Shuxiao had dark circles under her eyes. Upon seeing the people, she said directly, "I am your instructor. I'm here to arrange your courses. What would you like to learn first?"
She seemed to be suffering from severe insomnia; her eyelids were constantly drooping.
Chu Xuange said, "Teacher Shuxiao, we need to learn close combat first."
Shuxiao nodded, raised her left hand, and two red feathers condensed in her palm: "It will guide you to your own classroom, where your teacher is already waiting."
Having said that, the two feathers searched for their respective owners, preparing to lead them in two different directions.
Pei Hening pondered for a moment and asked, "Teacher Shuxiao, aren't we taking the same course? Why aren't we in the same classroom?"
Shuxiao's ears were tangled together. She reached up to straighten them, and upon hearing this, tilted her head to look at Pei Hening: "Your personal attributes aren't even a tenth of his, so of course you're divided into a preschool class and an advanced class. Do you want to be in the same class?"
Pei Hening: "...No, teacher, I was just curious."
Shuxiao untied her knotted ears, feeling a little better: "Go ahead."
Pei Hening arrived at the door of the private classroom, looked at the cute animal graffiti on the door, and raised her hand to knock.
