Chapter 3: The Benefactor Who Does a Good Deed Every Day

Page 1/3

Suya packed the fresh strawberry cake into her backpack, instantly taking up 10 units of capacity. After opening three boxes, she slung the backpack over her shoulder and returned to the shared bicycle, pulling out the game manual once more.

She tapped into the communication hall, where a message was prominently displayed at the top.

[Congratulations to player “Daily Good Deeds” for upgrading their vehicle to level two, becoming the first in the entire zone to upgrade a vehicle. Truly amazing!]

“Vehicle upgrade?” Suya’s eyes lit up as she slapped her thigh excitedly. “How did I forget about this?”

In this road survival novel, players can upgrade their vehicles using basic materials. Different vehicles require different materials and quantities. It’s widely known that the higher the vehicle’s level, the more convenience it offers the player.

Suya glanced at her shared bicycle, a strange gleam flickering in her eyes.

She had no desire to compete with the top players over daily mileage, nor was she a perfectionist who had to max out her vehicle. But if she could upgrade her shared bicycle to an electric bike, she wouldn’t need to pedal so hard anymore.

Wouldn’t that mean she could slack off even better?!

At the thought, Suya was thrilled beyond measure. After spying on the communication hall for how to check vehicle upgrade requirements, she immediately scanned her shared bicycle with the game manual.

[Basic Vehicle: Shared Bicycle]
[Speed: 10 km/h]
[Materials required for upgrade: Iron Blocks (2/10), Plastic (0/10), Electric Wire (1/5)]

The materials needed to upgrade to a level two vehicle weren’t too many. Suya calculated that with her current luck, she could gather everything in five, six, seven, maybe eight days.

“Done! It’s decided! My goal for the next few days is to slowly collect materials and upgrade this shared bicycle to an electric bike!”

Just as her ambition was set, her stomach rumbled inconveniently.

Looking at the time, it was already noon.

She had gotten up early but skipped breakfast. After entering the game world, she’d been busy rushing to meet daily mileage goals and opening the boxes she found. Until now, she hadn’t had a bite to eat.

If she didn’t eat soon, Suya feared she’d starve to death here, becoming the first player to die in this road survival game.

“Food is as important as iron—skip a meal and you’ll be starving!”

While muttering this, Suya reached for the fresh strawberry cake in her backpack. But just as her fingertips touched the box’s lid, she suddenly withdrew her hand.

The cake was her only food. If she ate it all at noon, what about dinner? The description clearly stated that once opened, if not eaten, the cake would spoil. Splitting it between lunch and dinner was impossible.

Other players might just eat the cake now and find more food later by opening boxes in the afternoon.

But Suya couldn’t.

Her identity was “Salted Fish”—the lazier she was, the luckier she got. In other words, the harder she tried, the worse things turned out.

She firmly believed that if she continued traveling this afternoon, she’d end up with nothing.

Unable to rely on boxes for more food, Suya hesitated briefly, then decided to save the fresh strawberry cake for dinner and find another way to deal with lunch.

After all, the trading interface in the communication hall was a great resource.

With ten thousand players, someone was bound to have surplus food and put it up for trade.

With this in mind, Suya opened the trading hall.

Sure enough, several sale offers glared at the top of the interface.

[“Compressed Biscuit ×1” for “Iron Block ×1”]
[“Compressed Biscuit ×1” for “Electric Wire ×1”]
[“Compressed Biscuit ×1” for “Plastic ×1”]

There were ten listings in total, all selling compressed biscuits in exchange for basic materials. The prices were reasonable, even charitable in nature.

Curious, Suya checked the sellers of those compressed biscuits.

What she found shocked her.

All ten listings belonged to “Daily Good Deeds.”

“The big shot is really doing charity!” Suya exclaimed.

Returning to the trading interface, she tried to exchange iron blocks for compressed biscuits.

But just as she clicked to buy, before she even reached the payment screen, the item was marked as sold out.

She clicked on the other listings, but every single one was sold out.

“Damn it! I was careless!” Suya lamented.

She should have known—selling food so cheaply during mealtime would cause a frenzy. She even wasted time checking who the seller was. What a waste of brainpower.

Her stomach growled again.

Suya immediately searched for other food listings. Many were on sale, but all required five or more basic materials.

She simply didn’t have that many materials to spare.

Was fate conspiring against her?

Not willing to give up, Suya scoured the trading hall back and forth but couldn’t find another seller like “Daily Good Deeds” offering food at such low prices.

“At this point, I have no choice.”

She gave herself a pep talk, then found “Daily Good Deeds” and opened a private chat.

[Invincible T-Rex War God: Big shot, do you still have compressed biscuits? The kid missed out and is starving~]

She swore this was the boldest thing she’d done since entering the game.

The reply came quickly.

[Daily Good Deeds: ?]

Suya stared at the question mark sent back and felt a chill sink deep into her heart.

“Oh no, the big shot must think I’m just a freeloader.”

The game manual beeped nervously, and Suya hesitated to look.

But the next second, a compressed biscuit appeared in her hand.

Startled, her first reaction was to clutch the biscuit tightly, fearing it might vanish. Then she checked the chat window.

[Player “Daily Good Deeds” has sent you a small gift.]

Now it was Suya’s turn to send a question mark.

Was the big shot really this kind and generous? No questions asked, just sent her the biscuit.

[Invincible T-Rex War God: Big shot, I’ll pay you back with materials.]

She typed quickly and immediately sent iron blocks to “Daily Good Deeds” as a gift.

But “Daily Good Deeds” declined the gift.

[Daily Good Deeds: Keep the materials yourself. I mean no offense; I just can’t stand to see anyone go hungry.]

[Daily Good Deeds: You might be a bit shy, not comfortable talking much with me. I’m just going to give you the compressed biscuit directly. Eat it, don’t starve.]

Reading those words, Suya almost burst into tears.

There really are still good people in this world!

— Meanwhile, elsewhere —

Yu Zhu saw the “thank you” from “Invincible T-Rex War God” and closed the private chat.

She had found plenty of food and, seeing so many players without meals, had given it all away.

The reason was simple: she just couldn’t bear to see others go hungry.

“Kindness detected in player. Identity automatically assigned. Your identity: Philanthropist. Identity description: Good deeds will be rewarded!”

“Each gift you send grants double rewards! Spread kindness throughout the world!”
