Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

As the system notification faded, two lines of text slowly appeared in front of Lin Hui's field of vision:

[Your performance in this battle is rated A! Comment: A reliable midfielder who didn't slack off!]

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving a special campaign reward: 5 Intermediate Starstones, 10 800mm Gustav Cannon Shells, and 2 Intermediate Mental Energy Potions. Would you like to claim them now?]

Looking at the battle evaluation given by the system, Lin Hui raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Just Grade A?"

"This means... the game didn't record my kills while I was in an 'unobservable' state at all!"

You have to understand, he only killed ruthless characters.

A weak dimensional technician at the platoon leader level, a top assassin at the platoon leader level, Setis, five anti-gravity heavy hovercraft, plus eleven lord guards, twenty-odd mechanical Eldar warriors, and hundreds of beetles that he swatted like mosquitoes!

This record is definitely S-level!

Looking at the reward in front of him, Lin Hui felt he had lost out.

But then he thought about it again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly.

This means my cheat is above the system! Wait, could it be that someone behind the game is deliberately trying to mislead me? I'm so weak, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

"However..." Lin Hui stroked his chin, "In order to get equipment and rewards, we'll have to resort to vehicle combat openly from now on unless absolutely necessary. Exploiting bugs is fun, but it can only be used as a last resort."

Bringing his thoughts back, Lin Hui looked at the system panel and silently said, "Check."

With a flash of light, the three rewards silently fell into his alternate dimension.

Just then, Lu Ge, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around.

He handed over the spatial ring, smiled, and said:

"Brother Lin, here's your ring back. It contained the materials left over from upgrading the racing car. Also... the system just gave out campaign rewards, and I got a B-rank and two mid-level Starshine Stones. I put them all in there as interest payment."

At this point, a bitter smile appeared on Lu Ge's arrogant face: "As for the remaining super alloys... Brother Lin, give me some more time, and I, Lu Ge, will definitely work hard to kill monsters and repay you."

"No rush..." Lin Hui waved his hand and then accepted the spatial ring.

Then, Lin Hui turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the hooded woman, Kim Jong-un, Byun Chan-myung, and the others, and said calmly:

"Everyone, if you have any Starstones, whether they are beginner or intermediate, you can exchange them with me for Super Alloy."

"The exchange ratio is: 1 intermediate starstone or 10 basic starstones for 1 unit of super alloy."

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then they were overjoyed after realizing what was happening.

At this stage, level 6 super alloy is definitely a rarer and more valuable commodity than intermediate starstone!

One intermediate starstone can be exchanged for one unit of super alloy. What a steal!

The middle-aged Korean man, Kim Jong-un, reacted the fastest. Without hesitation, he took out a mid-grade Starstone and laughed heartily:

"Aish...no, no, no, my friend! Your vision is too grand! It's wider than the Pacific Ocean! My name is Kim Jong-un, and I've decided to be your friend! In Iron Ridge City, let's look out for each other!"

Tang Guo rolled her eyes without any mercy and sneered, "I think you're just trying to curry favor with my captain, aren't you? With your pathetic skills, you're already talking about looking out for each other?"

Master Jin's thoughts were exposed, and his old face flushed red, but he still forced a smile and raised his chin in a pretentious manner: "Little girl, don't underestimate me! I held back my strength in the battle of Duolun City just now!"

Everyone tacitly ignored Kim Gwan-jang, who was trying to add drama to his own life, and eagerly looked at Lin Hui.

"I have three intermediate-grade ones here!"

"Captain! I want to switch too!!"

In an instant, the train carriage transformed into a bustling trading scene.

Lin Hui accepted all comers.

As a result, within just a few minutes, a total of 8 intermediate-level starlight stones appeared in his alternate dimension.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Hui's lips. "This can be considered as making up for the S-level rewards that the system deducted from these players."

However, neither Jin Guanzhang nor the other players possessed a spatial ring, so they couldn't immediately take the heavy superalloy with them. They agreed to return the superalloy to the player camp in Ironspine City.

……

Six minutes later.

A magnificent city, like a colossal beast, loomed on the horizon and finally came into clear view.

Towering Gothic spires, foundries belching thick smoke, and heavy anti-aircraft arrays on the city walls...

"Finally...we've arrived."

Lieutenant Smith's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.

He turned around and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Hui and the others:

"This rescue mission was made possible by everyone's valiant efforts! Especially Brother Lin... Without you, we would have lost even more comrades."

Lin Hui waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "Lieutenant, you're too kind."

"Oh, right," Lieutenant Smith said, as if remembering something.

"The [Merit Recorder] on your wrists has automatically recorded the merit points you earned in this battle. Once you're settled, you can go to the Star Shield Army's armory at any time to exchange them for the items you need."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui lowered his head and lit up his watch.

On the screen, a green number popped up: [666].

Below the numbers is a list of instructions on how to obtain merit points:

【机械僕从：1点；普通机械灵族战士：3点；精英战士：10点；领主近卫：200点；技师/刺客：5000点；领主级：十万点；至尊领主：一百万点。】

Looking at this line of explanation, Lin Hui understood.

The system could not record his kills while he was in an "unobservable" state, so the merit recorder issued by the Star Shield Army was even less likely to capture them.

However, even with only 666 merit points, he is still far ahead of the leader.

Not only players, but every soldier in the Star Shield Army also wears this recording device on their wrist.

Most soldiers would use their merits to exchange for rare potions that could enhance their mental strength and physical fitness at the armory, or undergo advanced cybernetic modifications. If they were lucky enough to accumulate a large number of merits, they could even exchange them for a combat mech!

Interestingly, the source of these potions all comes from wave after wave of human players who have descended upon this place.

Not only on Earth, but also from other planets in the universe, human players brought potions and materials that greatly enriched the resources of their respective local powers.

Of course, not all those who descended were human; there were also non-human players from other races.

However, the rewards dropped by players from other races are usually things like mysterious substances, divinity, or items.

Just then.

The players in the carriage also turned on their merit recorders.

"Ugh... this is so annoying!"

Tang Guo glanced at the screen, looking quite displeased:

"I threw so many bombs and only got 70 merit points! I see on the exchange list that even the most basic [Warrior-level Mech] requires a full 5000 points! How long will it take to save that up?"

Upon hearing Tang Guo's complaint, Lieutenant Smith patiently explained:

"Young lady, mechs are the Empire's strategic weapons! They can't be mass-produced on an assembly line! The barrier to acquisition is naturally ridiculously high."

"However, the mech's power is absolutely worth its price. Wearing it can increase combat strength several times over! Every soldier in the Star Shield Army longs to own their own mech!"

After the explanation.

Lieutenant Smith turned around and looked at the battle nun who had remained silent.

Sister Miran.

"We are safe now. Do you have any requests?"
