Chapter 21: Selling the First-Level Armor

Page (1/3)

“If I mass-produce level-one armor and sell it...” Suya was quite proactive. Since she had already completed her mileage for the day, she figured she might as well put her remaining materials to use and crafted another piece of level-one armor at the workbench.

After changing the armor’s appearance into a gender-neutral hoodie, she hung it up on her personal homepage.

Fabric and cotton were crafting materials; the remaining three basic materials were her processing fee.

Since it was still the newbie protection period, players with workbenches were few and far between, and those who had both blueprints and materials to craft armor were even rarer.

If she didn’t seize this opportunity to earn a little extra, when would she?

After setting up the trade window, Suya headed to the chat hall to promote her goods.

[The Emperor Has Passed Away: So hungry, so hungry, so hungry, is anyone selling food? The emperor is really going to starve to death~]

[White Cloud Cocoa: Who told you not to prepare more ingredients? Starving, huh? Serves you right!]

[The Emperor Has Passed Away: That’s not fair. How am I at fault if I can’t get food from boxes? No one’s selling food now, and you blame me? Don’t be so cold. If you have food, sell some to me.]

[White Cloud Cocoa: Isn’t it your fault?]

[The Emperor Has Passed Away: I ************, you ********]

[Flame Eye of Lu: Brave and fearless, fight on! Flame Eye of Lu!]

[Give Me a Reason: I want to buy food. Anyone willing to sell? I really need it.]

[Apology or Household Registration: (image)(image)(image)]

[Apology or Household Registration: Ah, lunch was really delicious today. What did everyone have? Hope no one is starving. So pitiful.]

[Joker: Shelter from the sand and wind.]

[Even the Gods Fear Me, Bai: CPDD! CPDD! CPDD!]

[Is a Bun: Ten copies of the real math exam simulation papers, trade for food. Anyone willing?]

[My Hatred for Math Is Eternal: No! Get lost!]

No sooner had Suya sent out her advertisement than a notification popped up that the item had sold.

[Trade Received Materials: Cotton ×10, Fabric ×10, Iron Block ×3]

She happily accepted the materials and prepared to make another set of armor.

Before she even started, someone initiated a private chat with her.

[Flame Eye of Lu: Hello! Hello! Are you there?]

[Flame Eye of Lu: I am an adventurer traversing the highway survival world. I’ve heard there is a hero’s garment here that can shield one from the clamor of the mundane world. Quickly! Bring forth your hidden power clothing and help me complete this epic adventure! I shall grant you endless wealth.]

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: ?]

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Speak plainly!]

[Flame Eye of Lu: I want to buy level-one armor but was too slow to grab one. Are you still selling?]

Of course, level-one armor was still for sale, but Suya now had a bold idea.

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Basic model: 10 cotton, 10 fabric, 3 any basic materials. Custom model: 10 cotton, 10 fabric, 5 basic materials; style can be specified.]

[Flame Eye of Lu: I want a battle robe so magnificent it makes heaven and earth tremble, dims the sun and moon! Only such can match my supreme status!]

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God: Speak plainly!!!]

[Flame Eye of Lu: Custom model, please make it handsome, thanks!]

Upon receiving this reply, Suya smiled mischievously.

In truth, there was no difference between the basic and custom models; both were crafted from 10 fabric and 10 cotton. But what could she do? Edgy youths just loved flashy clothes.

She wouldn’t feel right not charging for it!

Placing the materials on the workbench, Suya pictured a loose jacket with a striking black-and-white color contrast as she clicked craft.

A specially designed level-one armor was completed.

Suya immediately sent a trade invitation.

[“Level One Armor · Jacket ×1” Exchange for “Cotton ×10, Fabric ×10, Any Basic Materials ×5”]

“Flame Eye of Lu” had obviously been waiting for her; as soon as the invitation was sent, the other party confirmed the trade.

The materials automatically appeared in her backpack.

For the entire afternoon afterward, Suya repeatedly crafted and sold level-one armor.

There were plenty of buyers; some had no preference for style and bought the basic models, while others wanted armor in their favorite clothing and made various customization requests. Suya charged a processing fee accordingly.

After several hours, she had earned quite a sum.

After completing the last trade, Suya exited the marketplace and switched to her personal information screen.

She now had quite a stockpile of materials — just the basic materials alone filled several rows.

[Inventory: Level Four Backpack ×1, Workbench ×1, Vehicle Upgrade Card ×6, Nightmare Hotel Infinite Teleport Card ×1, Folding Bed ×1, Bed Sheets and Quilt Cover ×1, Wash and Care Kit ×1, Kettle ×1, Thermos Cup ×1, Tissues ×20, Basic Physical Enhancement Oral Liquid ×1, Basic Strength Enhancement Oral Liquid ×1, Basic Speed Enhancement Oral Liquid ×1, Hemostatic Bandage ×5, Plague Special Medicine ×5, Iron Blocks ×240, Copper Blocks ×160, Electric Wires ×125, Wood ×65, Plastic ×103, Glass ×76, Cotton ×48, Fabric ×34, Silver ×27, Gold ×20, Mineral Water ×20, Cola ×26, Iced Black Tea ×25, Instant Noodles ×13, Instant Coffee ×20, Potato Chips ×10, Meat Floss Strips ×5, Eight-Treasure Porridge ×5, Spicy Strips ×20, Meat Floss Cake ×5, Compressed Biscuits ×5, French Bread ×3, Whole Wheat Bread ×5, Sausages ×5, Chocolate Bar ×1, Batteries ×8, Fuel ×10, Women’s Spring Clothes ×1, Level One Armor ×1]

Seeing this long list of supplies gave Suya a strong sense of security.

Moreover, she had unlocked several functions on her workbench, so she had no worries about sourcing materials.

Suya: “Life sure feels more promising now.”

………

One minute before the highway intersection, System 2712 appeared.

[I am System 2712, pleased to meet everyone in the highway survival world. After several days of adventure, I believe you all have a basic understanding of highway survival~]

[Tomorrow marks the fifth day in highway survival. To ease everyone’s tension and anxiety, we've opened a newbie protection dungeon called “Springtime Scenery,” inviting everyone to enjoy the beautiful spring views together~]

[Open the game manual and find the dungeon interface to sign up. There’s no limit on participants, and there are mysterious and generous dungeon rewards. Come join us! Friendly reminder: participating in the dungeon will waive your daily travel mileage~ Note that no boxes will appear along the highway during the dungeon.]

Suya’s eyes lit up upon hearing this announcement.

Driving on the highway every day was getting a bit dull. Taking a detour into the dungeon to explore was a great idea.

As for the rewards, she didn’t have high expectations. Avoiding the daily mileage was already a huge gain.

Without hesitation, Suya opened the game manual and clicked to sign up!

“The dungeon—I’m definitely going!”
