Chapter 3, Scanning and Modification

Sitting on the minibus, Jiang Liu Shi made a phone call to his sister... Although he knew that this call would most likely be like a stone sinking into the sea

Although Li Yuxin occasionally cast glances in his direction, there were several instances when the two passed each other by, and Li Yuxin seemed to want to say something, yet ultimately refrained from doing so

"Locking oneself in a room?" Li Yuxin was taken aback. Is there someone planning to attack them?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liushi let out a sigh. He had done his best, but he was unsure of how far Li Yuxin could go

Although there are many advertisements on the roadside saying "one-minute transfer, borrow money with an ID card," Jiang Liushi has given his student ID to Ma Hao and his ID card to the car rental company, and he has no property certificate or anything else to use, leaving him at a loss for a moment

"Don't worry about it, just tell me. Rest assured, I won't do anything bad," Jiang Liushi joked deliberately

This Li Jun... Jiang Liushi was also left speechless. Not only does this person refuse to pay him back, but he also speaks to him like this. Truly, if he doesn't show off, he will die.

"Certainly, do as I say!" Jiang Liushi reiterated once again

Model: Medium-sized passenger bus (14 seats)

After sitting in his seat for five or six minutes, Jiang Liushi gradually regained his composure. After all, the apocalypse is approaching! It is only natural for him to have such a reaction.

"It's just a small matter." Jiang Liushi first felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, then cleared his throat and said very seriously, "Please give me your home address."

He invited my friend to dinner. My friend asked him why he was looking at his phone and who he was chatting with. He said that you were asking him to borrow money. I thought, do you have some difficulties, so I asked for your phone number... Li Yuxin asked in a very calm tone

"By the way, what do you need from me?" Jiang Liushi inquired.

Jiang Liu Shi made a firm decision at that moment. He immediately made another phone call, but to his surprise, when the call was answered, Li Yuxin's tone was somewhat anxious: "What are you doing?"

In summary, this is a very ordinary minibus, likely retired from tourism and purchased by a rental company. Such vehicles tend to have many minor issues as soon as they are driven, and the rental company is essentially taking advantage of customers.

Indeed, Jiang Liushi has now emerged from the shadows of the past, yet the relationship between the two has since become distant. Even though they both gained admission to the same university in the same city, this remains unchanged. The initial flutter of emotions has also been buried deep within Jiang Liushi's heart

If it concerns their lives, Li Yuxin would definitely be even less inclined to believe it, and it would be even more difficult to persuade her parents. Perhaps her parents would even suspect that he is mentally ill and has some ulterior motive.

I am Li Yuxin. The girl mentioned a name that took Jiang Liushi by surprise

"You even wrote it down. I'm feeling a bit nervous now. Are you really coming? However, if you do come as a guest, I will definitely welcome you," said Li Yuxin

Jiang Liu Shi sat in the car and let out a deep breath. He had made various preparations today, running around busily, but now that everything was ready, instead of feeling calm, he was overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety and trepidation. The previous composure, the orderly demeanor, and the suppressed feeling of panic seemed to have erupted at this moment.

Then, Jiang Liushi closed his eyes. As if a switch had been turned on, images that should have been seen by his eyes suddenly appeared in Jiang Liushi's mind

Jiang Liu Shi couldn't help but laugh, feeling both moved and amused, "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for a refund"

"Let it be this way, you don't need to be polite, we are friends, right?" Li Yuxin said with a light laugh, her laughter as crisp as the sound of wind chimes

He originally thought that this was definitely a very business-like call, either from a car rental company or a courier service, or perhaps from the customer service of the sellers of the products he had ordered previously

During the lecture, Li Yuxin was very serious and focused, to the extent that her hair often fell onto Jiang Liushi's hand, and she remained completely unaware of it

After the first modification, this vehicle will be initially adapted for apocalyptic use

Indeed, to elaborate, the two individuals are not entirely without intersections in their lives. In fact, they have been classmates since high school, and they were in the same class and shared a desk.

Now I hear Li Yuxin's voice again, and Jiang Liushi's emotions unexpectedly stirred with a hint of turbulence. Li Yuxin's voice is like a gentle breeze, subtle and soft.

As long as she is alive, Jiang Liushi believes that he will surely be able to find her

"Boss, is this where we stop?" The driver from the rental company parked the car under the Jiangliushi building and curiously glanced around. This place is merely an old community that has almost been phased out in Jiangbei City, with houses dating back to the 1990s, each equipped with the most traditional rain awnings and security bars.

Jiang Liushi said: "Yuxin, you must wait for me at home next Tuesday. Not just you, but also your parents must be at home, and you should not go anywhere. It would be best if you could stay in separate rooms, each with a lock. In case of any unexpected situation, lock yourselves in your rooms and do not go anywhere else. I will come to find you. Is that okay? I have something very important, extremely important to discuss! This concerns my life!" I have something very important, extremely important to discuss! This concerns my life!

Jiang Liushi knew that if he spoke of the apocalypse, it would be difficult for Li Yuxin to believe him. Even if he could make her half-convinced, he would still need to persuade her parents... Just this alone would require a considerable amount of time

This material list completely exceeds Jiang Liushi's expectations regarding the price, and the quantity of materials required surpasses his imagination, possibly due to his choice of a more complex base vehicle

She also left a message behind: "A little more would be more generous; anyway, if you can't use it all, just keep it and return it to me." Finally, there was a cute expression of a face with a hand covering the mouth.

Li Yuxin comes from a well-off family, possesses an exquisite appearance, and has a pleasant personality, making her very popular in class. At that time, Jiang Liushi also gazed at Li Yuxin's serene profile as she stared out the window, her gently flowing hair captivating his attention.

Jiang Liu frowned immediately: "What did he say?"

"Promise me!" Jiang Liushi said sincerely

When VR was first released, Jiang Liushi was very interested, but he did not purchase it due to its high cost. Now, however, there is an experience that is even more advanced than VR.

Ding. The notification message has arrived. Jiang Liushi opened it and was taken aback again. The money transferred by Li Yuxin amounted to a full 20,000.

Soon, "Star Seed" listed the materials required to convert this vehicle into a base vehicle (ordinary). Upon seeing this list of materials, Jiang Liushi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement

Li Yuxin also said, "Yes, we haven't been in touch for a long time"

The situation is as follows ... ... '' Jiang Liushi explained the truth.

However, later on, Jiang Liushi's parents had an accident, and he did not attend classes for a full month. When he returned, Jiang Liushi had become considerably more introverted, sitting alone in the last row.

He just found it very strange that he had no connection with Li Yuxin, so why would she call him

I am. I saw that you called me, may I ask what the matter is? Jiang Liushi inquired

However, upon looking at the phone number, I do not recognize it

After the entire minibus was scanned, the vehicle's information also surfaced in Jiang Liushi's mind

This ... ...

Oh..." Li Yuxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "You don't need to thank me, if you thank me, then I will have to thank you for helping me in the past. Without you, how could I have possibly been admitted to Jiangbei University..."

Upon just opening his phone, Jiang Liushi discovered that he had two missed calls. After checking the time, he realized that they were likely made while he was busy on the road, and he had not heard them due to the noise.

Is your Alipay just your phone number? I will transfer some money to you, and you can pay me back when you are more comfortable. We are friends, so there is no need to be polite. In the past, you explained problems to me every day, so thoroughly that you had no spare time left at all. Haven't I ever thanked you?" Li Yuxin smiled.

According to the information provided by "Star Seed", Jiang Liushi stood up, walked to the driver's seat, then sat down and grasped the steering wheel with both hands

Malfunction: The engine is old, and various components are outdated

Maximum speed: 110 km/h

"Address? What for? Are you still planning to come to my place to pay me back?" Li Yuxin said with a smile

"No, but it is truly very important! You must believe me, absolutely! This matter is of utmost importance, I beg you!" Jiang Liushi said.

Wait a moment, that's not necessary

In his mind, the concept of "star seeds" emerged. Before he could gather more information, his sister had already gone deep into the mountains for an expedition, where the signal was intermittent

However, as soon as she heard that she was in trouble, she immediately took the initiative to call, and when she saw that he did not answer, she continued to call several times in a row

Jiang Liu Shi felt a deep sense of emotion upon reading this passage. Although Li Yuxin's family is wealthy, she leads a very simple life. The twenty thousand yuan must certainly be her own savings, not something given away casually.

May heaven not allow such a kind girl to perish in this catastrophe

This truly does not seem like a place where a second-generation rich person would live, could it be an experience of life? However, this is not the driver's concern; after Jiang Liushi signed the document, he handed over the keys to him and got out of the car.

It has indeed been a long time. Jiang Liushi could not help but exclaim

It was an unexpected person who helped him at such a moment. Moreover, throughout the entire time, Li Yuxin never asked him what he needed the money for

It is evident that she feels a bit awkward. Jiang Liushi is aware that his request is rather abrupt, but there is no time to concern himself with that now. Although it may seem a bit sudden, it is all necessary.

However, he did not expect that it was indeed a girl he knew, and moreover, she was a very popular girl. Although Jiang Liushi rarely communicated with girls over the phone, he would not be so flustered upon receiving a call.

After listening, Li Yuxin was also very angry: "I knew you weren't that kind of person. He even said you were shameless, really... people like that, I quickly told my friends to never associate with him. By the way, does this mean you really are short on money?"

"This ... ... I ... ... well ... ... alright ... ..." Li Yuxin reluctantly agreed, as this matter indeed sounded too bizarre.

"Jiang Liushi, do you have some significant difficulties? Is it related to loan sharks or organized crime..." Li Yuxin asked anxiously

A girl's voice came through the phone, sounding very sweet and gentle

He borrowed from a loan shark, but that has nothing to do with it... He is not worried at all

Jiang Liushi knew that this was the "Star Seed" scanning him. However, knowing it was one thing, but experiencing this sensation firsthand, Jiang Liushi still found it to be very magical, evoking a sense of VR science fiction.

There are several modification directions for the "Star Seed"; Jiang Liushi thought for a moment and chose the "Base Vehicle" type. The base vehicle is actually a choice that consumes a considerable amount of materials, but its practicality is the highest

However, Jiang Liushi knows through Xingzhong that neither his sister nor himself will be infected by the virus

As for whether Li Yuxin will survive, it is entirely up to fate

You said, let me take note of that. Jiang Liu turned on the hands-free and then recorded Li Yuxin's home address in the memo.

Hello?" Jiang Liushi replied.

I heard Li Jun say that you are currently in need of money. I am not well acquainted with him, but I happened to overhear him talking about it to a friend of mine

His tone is very firm and very serious

Good, very well

Engine: Displacement 5.014L, water-cooled inline four-cylinder turbocharged direct injection

Jiang Liu Shi was momentarily taken aback, and Li Yuxin's laughter was still as pleasant as ever

With both hands gripping the steering wheel, he glanced left and right, and to his surprise, his field of vision rapidly elevated, encompassing the entire vehicle. Subsequently, the car's body became transparent, revealing all its components clearly.

The remaining money, as well as the proceeds from various sales, is uncertain whether it will be sufficient

Power: Gasoline-powered type

The younger sister is in the deep mountains, and at this moment when the apocalypse is about to break out, there could not be worse news.

Of course. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liushi felt a warmth in his heart

The examination of my younger sister should conclude in the next couple of days, which makes Jiang Liushi particularly relieved. He and his sister have grown up relying on each other; if the end of the world were to come and his sister were still missing in some remote valley, Jiang Liushi would surely go mad.

"It's nothing, I have already thought of a solution..." Jiang Liushi said

However, at the very least, she should stay at home. She is a kind-hearted person, and as long as she is concerned about his safety, she will heed his request to remain at home

Steel X one hundred jin, copper X one hundred jin, screws of various specifications, titanium alloy ten kilograms, leather ten square feet, and various peculiar materials. To say nothing of the rest, just the first few items alone, Jiang Liushi knew it was not a small sum. He vaguely recalled that titanium alloy costs around five to six hundred per kilogram, and among those strange materials, some names also appeared to be quite expensive at first glance.

Indeed, when this call was made, it prompted that the other party was in a powered-off state. Jiang Liushi then sent a text message to his sister, asking her to contact him immediately after seeing the message, assuring her that he would be available twenty-four hours a day waiting for her call. Based on his understanding of his sister, he was certain that under such serious circumstances, she would definitely return the call as soon as she reached a place with signal.

Alright, alright, my home address is ... ...

Vehicle age: 10 years

However, although Li Yuxin excels in many areas, she finds mathematics particularly challenging, while Jiang Liushi happens to be quite good at it. As a result, Li Yuxin often asks Jiang Liushi to help her with her math problems

However, these minor issues are of little concern to Jiang Liushi, as he spent a little over 10,000 yuan to acquire a minibus, which is already quite a bargain

Forget it, let's first order everything that can be purchased... Jiang Liushi took out his phone
