Hundreds of Treasure Chests! Dihu Emerges! (First Update)

Su Mo didn't have time to examine the new vehicle closely. After stepping onto the side skirts and getting in, he quickly turned the key to start the engine.

Sizzle!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of exhaust pipes surged out, accompanied by the powerful engine of the new vehicle!

The upgraded gear lever retains the simplest operating method, except that an additional Climbing Gear is added next to the forward and reverse gears.

With no intention of trying the Climbing Gear, Su Mo directly shifted into drive, floored the accelerator, and the vehicle lurched downwards, launching itself like a ferocious beast.

"Wow! With the addition of small crash barriers and a windshield, this is what a vehicle should be, this is what a monster should be!"

Driving through low bushes, the roadside weeds could no longer hinder the Su Mo in the slightest. The super off-road capabilities provided by the tires, which were as tall as a person, were now even more impressive.

The journey that took five minutes to cover on the way here was reduced to less than a minute this time, after Su Mo almost crashed into him.

Drive the car to the side where there was no yellow flame, and Su Mo quickly jumped out of the car.

Upon reaching the back of the car, he opened the trunk and focused intently on loading the Sterndrive, along with all the miscellaneous items, into it. After ensuring the Storage Space was empty, Su Mo quickly ran off to collect the remaining items.

Looking around, treasure chests shimmering with a strange luster were everywhere in the smoke.

"Prioritize filling high-level treasure chests!"

Looking at the various colored treasure chests at his feet, Su Mo made up his mind and increased his speed even further.

Running downhill, Su Mo ignored the Wooden Treasure Chest and Iron Treasure Chest treasure chests on the ground and put the Copper Treasure Chest in first.

"One, two, seven, ten!"

Su Mo picked up a total of ten of the previously rare Copper Treasure Chest in less than a minute.

Surrounding the explosion, Su Mo fluttered around the crater like a happy butterfly.

After going around the entire area, the three-square-meter Storage Space was now completely filled with treasure chests.

A treasure chest is approximately 50cm long, 30cm wide, and 25cm high, occupying a space of 37,500 cubic centimeters.

Three cubic meters is three million cubic centimeters, which is just enough to hold 80 treasure chests.

"We took forty-five Copper Treasure Chest this time, and thirty-five Iron Treasure Chest!"

"And after transferring these treasure chests to the car, I can collect about seventy more treasure chests. That's a huge windfall!"

Thinking of this, Su Mo sprinted to the back of the car and began moving the treasure chest into it.

The Sterndrive, miscellaneous items, and a bag of flour occupied more than two cubic meters of space. After moving 70 treasure chests, even the interior of the vehicle was completely filled.

However, at the same time, the Storage Space on the Game Panel became empty again.

Following the same path, this time Su Mo was no longer picky and accepted whatever he could get his hands on. Iron Treasure Chest were fine, and Wooden Treasure Chest were good too.

Once the Storage Space is full, if you see the Iron Treasure Chest on the ground, throw out the Wooden Treasure Chest and exchange it.

Five minutes passed in this back and forth. Seeing the city gate wide open in the distance, Su Mo stopped picking and choosing and started opening every treasure chest he came across.

"Canned yellow peaches? That's great stuff, too bad I can't bring them with me!"

"A bag of Eggplant Seeds?"

"A sickle used for cutting grass?"

"Maid Noelle Figurine?"

"Molded sex toys? What are these? Throw them away!"

Numbly opening the treasure chests on the ground, seeing more and more good things, and as they fell to the ground unclaimed, even Su Mo, who had already collected more than a hundred treasure chests, felt a pang of heartache.

Before the last minute, after opening most of the treasure chests that he hadn't had time to take, Su Mo returned to the front of the car, took out the remaining Explosive Pack, and piled them all in the crater where there was no fire.

He took out a ten-minute fuse, inserted it into the Su Mo, and bent down to light it.

Like the low howl of death, the fuse began to pop and crackle, and section by section of the yellow flame-retardant material was burned through, while the countdown began from 10 minutes.

After getting back into the car and glancing at the Storage Space, Su Mo didn't linger. He shifted into Climbing Gear, stepped on the gas, and sped up the hillside.

During the charge, the chassis began to rise slowly, and powerful energy was continuously pumped from the engine and transmitted to the wheels.

Su Mo simply rolled up the small earthen slope, cutting through thorns and brambles along the way, and quickly returned to the place where he had been crouching.

"Oreo, where are you? Get in the car and let's go!"

Seeing that the Oreo had disappeared, Su Mo quickly got out of the car and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Suddenly, a black and white shadow flashed out from the bushes and pounced into Su Mo's arms! Looking at the drastically changed car, Oreo was full of doubt. Su Mo didn't bother to explain and put Oreo in the back seat.

After turning back to the driver's seat, this time Su Mo did not climb the hill, but instead sped off towards the plains.

About four or five minutes later, upon hearing a loud rumbling sound behind him, Su Mo's tense body finally relaxed, and he drove the car onto a high ground.

Getting out of the car, Su Mo took out his binoculars and looked at the blast wave rising from the explosion, as well as the faint screams that reached his ears. The tension he had been feeling for a long time finally eased a lot.

"This time, I've dealt a heavy blow to the kobolds. To recover from these losses, either the kobolds or the lion-men must initiate a war. Only through a fierce battle and victory in the tribal war can we open the portal to make up for these losses."

"But I've angered both the lionmen and the kobolds. But it's alright, I'm all alone. They'll have to think twice before trying to take me down!"

After staring into the distance, Su Mo lowered his head again to examine the traces he had left behind.

Unlike the Dune Buggy, this upgraded vehicle has clear and obvious tire tracks on the ground.

Some small hills were flattened out, and the grass stems along the way were crushed by the grooves of the wheels.

"Wow, this vehicle item with nearly 2000 points is truly extraordinary!"

Su Mo clicked his tongue, turned his head, and took a good look at the upgraded vehicle for the first time.

The vehicle was painted in Tricolor Camouflage pattern of white, gray, and yellow camouflage, with several sturdy-looking iron railings added to its body.

Compared to before, the chassis of this vehicle has been raised again. When Su Mo got closer, he tried to measure it and was shocked to find that the chassis of the new vehicle was even higher than his thighs, a full 50cm off the ground (see this chapter for pictures).

Such a powerful device consumes a lot of oil on Earth. If the shock absorption is not done well, the whole person will feel like they are sitting in a boat, swaying and dizzy with every movement.

But on the rotten roads of the post-apocalyptic wasteland, they are steel monsters that everyone envies.

As Su Mo was surprised to find Oreo lying on the hood, frantically rubbing his head against the windshield.

The new vehicle's hood is no longer as long and thin as Bouncy, and the Oreo can't even lie down upright.

In terms of center of gravity, it remains a rear-wheel drive vehicle, placing all the weight and engine in the middle and rear of the car body to ensure extremely strong explosive power and kinetic energy.

While such vehicles cannot be used for ramming, they are better suited for navigating roads, allowing for better observation of road conditions and more informed decision-making.

As for the tires, instead of HT and MT tires, all-terrain tires, also known as AT tires, were chosen.

AT tires are more compatible with road tires in terms of design, with a more rugged tread pattern and slightly larger tread spacing.

The downside of this design is reduced on-road performance and increased noise, but it is more durable and has better grip on unpaved roads than HT tires, making it a tire that balances off-road and on-road performance.

"It's much better than Dune Buggy already, and I don't expect to upgrade it for a long time. So, how about we give it a name..."

On Earth, cars are often referred to as a man's second wife.

Su Mo hadn't understood this before, but now, the more he rotated along the chariot, the greater Su Mo joy became.

"With this color, power, and climbing performance, I'll call you that from now on."

"Earth Tiger!"

With its extremely imposing name and a chassis that's half a meter high, this new vehicle is more than capable of handling the wasteland!

Once inside the car, Su Mo began to examine the interior.

The exterior of the vehicle was made of steel, without the slightest bit of frills, and the interior was exactly as Su Mo had expected.

The interior has completely sacrificed comfort, except for the leather upholstery brought from the previous Bouncy on the main seat.

The passenger seat was just a metal plate, nothing else.

As for the back, the seats were cut off and replaced with treasure chests that emitted a faint glow, twinkling and very tempting.

"It seems the system understands me. This upgrade has cut everything that could be cut, and it doesn't include any electronic devices!"

Touching the mechanical-feeling center console, Su Mo was both amused and exasperated.

Apart from the radio being moved over intact, none of the functions found in high-end vehicles on Earth are present.

Without a trip computer or electronic power steering, and with purely mechanical operation, this monster is truly "violent" when driven! After figuring out how to use the vehicle for a while, Su Mo found the button with the fuel tank symbol on the simple center console.

Press the button gently.

Bang! The vehicle made a sound. Su Mo got off the vehicle again and went to the right side of the vehicle. Sure enough, under a camouflage paint, he saw a slightly raised metal plate.

"Wow, this fuel tank is huge, it must hold at least a hundred liters!"

Silently focusing his attention, Su Mo saw the attributes of the new vehicle appear before him.
