Chapter 57: Growing Taller and Taller

Mo Yubai’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched her body’s reflection in the water stretch out. Her legs grew longer and more powerful, and even her fingers lengthened by two centimeters!

She pressed the mirror mode button beside her, and a beautiful silver mirror appeared in front of her.

In the mirror, she saw thick, tiny new hairs sprouting from her forehead, which had been slightly balding from staying up late studying!

Her hair, which she used to be able to grasp with just one hand, now required both hands to hold!

What was more, it was smooth and silky, shining like the finest satin!

Mo Yubai put on her combat suit and stood in front of the full-length mirror, nodding in satisfaction at the tall, heroic figure looking back at her.

“Cool!”

Looking at the spacious bathroom, Mo Yubai had a sudden idea and moved the dining table directly into the bathroom.

Fantastic! With this, she would never have to pitch a tent again!

Putting her bed in here to sleep at night, with the ability to adjust the indoor temperature, was simply too wonderful!

Taking out the Three Meals a Day Stone, Mo Yubai checked the instructions.

Three Meals a Day Stone: Before use, place it on the dining table. Clasp your hands, close your eyes, and pray for the food you want, shouting, “Please, Stone King, grant me delicious food!”

Once you open your eyes again, the food will appear on the dining table. After finishing your meal, close your eyes and shout, “Thank you for the Stone King’s bounty!”

The leftovers will then automatically disappear. Remember, you must send the stone away once you finish eating!

Otherwise, the Stone King will ignore your next prayer!

Note: Waste is strictly forbidden. A single meal must not exceed ten dishes!

Following the instructions, Mo Yubai placed the Three Meals a Day Stone on the dining table, clasped her hands, and prayed for hot and sour soup, cold shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and elm leaf cornbread.

Suppressing her embarrassment, she closed her eyes and shouted, “Please, Stone King, grant me delicious food!”

When she opened her eyes again, two dishes and a soup had indeed appeared on the table!

However, the menu did not match her wish at all. There was spicy soup, potato pancakes, tomatoes sprinkled with sugar, and cola chicken wings.

Not a single item was correct.

Confused, Mo Yubai picked up the stone to examine it closely. Only then did she notice a line of tiny, densely packed text on the bottom of the stone, so small it was barely visible to the naked eye!

She took out the magnifying glass she had obtained from the treasure chest that afternoon and leaned in to look.

“Wishes are for reference only. Delivery depends entirely on luck! The Stone King reserves the right of final interpretation!”

Mo Yubai’s lips twitched in speechlessness. What a willful Stone King!

At least the quantity delivered was correct, she comforted herself silently.

She picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a cola chicken wing. The more she ate, the more satisfied she became.

The sweetness of the cola and the savory flavor of the chicken wing burst in her mouth, leaving a wonderful aftertaste!

She took a bite of a potato pancake. The crispy texture combined with cumin and chili was a match made in heaven!

The sugared tomatoes were also incredibly juicy!

Unlike the tasteless, artificially ripened tomatoes from Blue Star, these had a rich, distinct tomato flavor. One bite sent her right back to her childhood!

After enjoying her delicious dinner, Mo Yubai could now close her eyes and shout, “Thank you for the Stone King’s bounty!” without any embarrassment, and with complete sincerity.

Opening her eyes to put away the clean dining table, Mo Yubai hummed a little tune in a good mood, took out the Pickled Pepper Fish Head, and set off again!

It was now 8:00 PM. She could keep driving for another four hours!

Her luck for the day seemed to have run out. Driving the Pickled Pepper Fish Head at full speed for the rest of the evening only yielded one Wooden Treasure Chest and one Bronze Treasure Chest.

The items she opened were all things she already had, though the magic lamp scented candle ornament from the Bronze Treasure Chest was quite pretty. It would be perfect to light before going to sleep.

She skillfully set up traps around the bathroom. Mo Yubai did not even light a Campfire tonight. With this level of defense and sealing, nothing from wild wolves to tiny ants could get in!

After taking a relaxing hot shower, she tossed her dirty combat suit into the washing machine, changed into comfortable pajamas, and walked over to the bed.

She took out the scented candle she had just received, lit it, pulled up the soft quilt, and enjoyed a brief, relaxing rest.

However, she still hid her throwing knives under her pillow. Even in such a secure environment, she could not let her guard down.

She would probably only be able to break this little habit after completely leaving Highway Survival and returning to the peaceful environment of Blue Star.

Thinking about tomorrow’s competition, Mo Yubai did not even plan to do any business tonight.

She simply opened the chat channel to lurk and see what everyone was thinking.

“I’m so excited. I really hope tomorrow comes quickly so I can contact my mom.”

“No, make it slower! I really don’t want to face it.”

“Stop thinking about unhappy things. Just think about how if Boss Mo wins, we get to rest in the Service Area for a whole day. That’s going to be amazing!”

“Looking to buy sanitary pads. Can trade glass or wood!”

“Girl, didn’t you snag the discounted pads from the Cat Snack Shop?”

“Sob, sob, no. My period has always been irregular. Sometimes it doesn’t come for half a year, and sometimes it lasts for half a year when it does. QAQ”

“Oh man, that’s rough.”

“Hey girl, I sent you a DM. My flow is pretty light, and I haven’t used up the pads I bought. I can share some with you.”

“I have some left over too. I can share.”

“Thank you, thank you everyone! A few girls just traded with me, so I have enough pads now.”

…

Reading these messages, Mo Yubai first opened the Cat Snack Shop, took out thousands of raw materials, and continued processing and production to try to list another batch tomorrow.

Next, she opened her inventory to check the Menstruation-to-Hidden Menstruation Prescription she had bought from the Wandering Merchant today, clicking to view its details.

Menstruation-to-Hidden Menstruation Prescription: Clear Spirit Grass x2, Moonlight Bud x1, Flame Heart Flower x3, Bamboo Leaf Ginseng x1.

Mix with Shuilan Tree Sap. A basic medicine crafting table can produce 30 doses in half an hour.

Painless and imperceptible after consumption. Takes effect after one day. Ovulation and hormones remain normal, with no negative health effects.

Good stuff!

She had just finished her period before entering the game, so she still had plenty of time before her next one.

However, since it was the end of the month, many female players were probably on their periods. It seemed she needed to replenish the supply of sanitary pads in a timely manner, while also collecting these herbs and medicine crafting table blueprints.

Ding-ling! The notification sound for her starred contacts rang. It looked like Ou Ou and the others were chatting again.

Putting away the prescription, Mo Yubai rolled over, found a comfortable position, and opened the group chat.

“Sister Mo, Sister Wen, let me tell you, you almost never saw me again!”

“Since it gets more dangerous at night, I tried not to pick up night chests and just drove with my headlights on to rack up mileage.”

“But some jerk must have thought I was an easy target and somehow tracked my highway out of nowhere.”

“I saw the highways about to merge and knew something was wrong! Fortunately, a Service Area suddenly appeared ahead. The merger was interrupted once I entered it, and I managed to escape!”

Reading this, Mo Yubai frowned, her expression darkening. It seemed Ou Ou’s position in the top three of the wealth rankings had indeed made people envious.

She just did not know if the person targeting her was a player from District 7, or if someone from another district had used a Cross-Region Positioning Coin to eliminate a competitor ahead of tomorrow’s match.

“Ou Ou, don’t let your guard down just because you’re in the Service Area. It’s not safe in there either.”

“Got it, I’ll be careful, Sister Mo.”

Mo Yubai thought for a moment and asked, “How many gold coins do you have on you right now?”

Zhu Ou scratched her head in confusion and replied hesitantly, “1,930 gold coins. Why, Sister Mo?”
