Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Silver Crown City.

As Lin Hui stepped out through the alloy revolving doors of the administration hall, he took a deep breath.

Looking out, in the center of the huge plaza not far away, stands a massive, all-black building.

The building's surface shimmered with iridescent light, and streaks of deep blue energy rippled like breaths, making it exceptionally dazzling even in the daytime.

On the massive alloy pillar directly in front of the building, five gilded characters floating in mid-air are holographically projected: [Alliance Trading Post].

Below the text, the emblem of the Human Alliance is etched:

"The outer contour is a silver olive ring symbolizing peace, and at the center are two human hands tightly clasped together. Above the hands, a dazzling five-pointed star floats."

That five-pointed star represents the five major human player home planets in the player star system.

The Alliance Trading Post is where the official system buys and sells goods. Players can sell resources to the trading post for Star Coins, or shop there.

Lin Hui, with one hand in his trench coat pocket, watched the players coming and going, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Logically speaking, newcomers who have just entered the player star field from the third dungeon should go there first to exchange for star coins."

He doesn't need to go.

He Qiang, the vice president of the Pangu Guild, gave him an anonymous savings card with 1000 million star coins.

Starting with millions of Star Coins is definitely a great feeling.

"but......"

Lin Hui stroked his chin, recalling what Zhao Tianba had said before.

"There's also an Alliance Trading Post in the city. If you want to find some rare items or inquire about some shady inside information, you can go to the [Player Market] that spontaneously forms near the city entrance."

That's where solo players, small to medium-sized guilds, and bounty hunters set up stalls to sell their items. It's a mixed bag, but often hides unexpected surprises.

"Going there to shop is definitely more interesting than going to the official trading platform," Lin Hui thought to himself.

However, before that, we need to address a fundamental need.

Buy a "cell phone".

In the player star system, this thing is called a personal terminal device.

Without it, not only can I not check maps or read news, but I can't even do the most basic payment and communication. It's practically impossible to get around.

Lin Hui looked around and soon his gaze settled on the other side of the street.

There was a huge two-story store there, with a dazzling holographic signboard flashing in mid-air with the words: [Orange Convenience Store].

Lin Hui crossed the street and pushed open the sensor-activated glass door.

"Ding-dong... Welcome to Orange Convenience Store!"

Upon entering, Lin Hui was immediately struck by a strong sense of cyberpunk science fiction.

The convenience store is much larger inside than it appears from the outside, with a soft, natural-looking light field emanating from the ceiling.

Rows of semi-transparent shelves are neatly arranged, and small drones shuttle through the air to replenish stock.

The variety of goods is dazzling: alien food, colorful nutrient solutions, all sorts of strange daily necessities, and technological products.

Just as Lin Hui's eyes were searching among the shelves, a young female clerk in an orange uniform quickly came up to him.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" The female shop assistant asked with a sweet smile.

"I want to buy personal terminal equipment," Lin Hui said, getting straight to the point.

"Okay, this way please." The female shop assistant made an elegant guiding gesture, leading Lin Hui through two rows of floating shelves to the electronics section deep inside the store.

The display cases here are all made of transparent explosion-proof crystals, with various types of terminal devices suspended inside.

He did know something about the personal terminals here.

Mainstream devices are basically divided into two types:

One type is the "crystal plate," which is about the size of a smartphone on Earth, but is made entirely of transparent crystal. When touched with a finger, a holographic screen will rise on the surface.

Another type is the "communication bracelet," a narrow alloy ring worn on the wrist that projects a clear holographic screen above the forearm when activated. Its advantage is portability, as it does not hinder combat.

However, Lin Hui had absolutely no idea what brands these devices were or how well they performed.

"Could you give me a more detailed introduction?" Lin Hui pointed to the display case.

"Of course, sir."

A young female shop assistant walked to a display case, skillfully picked up a transparent crystal panel, and with a light tap of her fingertip, a holographic screen instantly rose from the panel.

"This is currently the best-selling 'Starry Sky-A Series' TV panel on the market. It has 40GB of RAM and 10TB of storage, which is more than enough for daily communication and entertainment. The price is also very affordable, only 2000 Star Coins."

If you prefer to wear it on your wrist, the equivalent model of the 'Starry Sky-A Series' communication bracelet is priced at 4000 Star Coins.

Lin Hui looked at the crystal plate; it was indeed a very good deal.

The average monthly salary for ordinary citizens in Silvercrown City is about 4000-8000 Star Coins, which is quite affordable.

But I still feel like something's missing.

"Is there anything even better?" Lin Hui asked.

"some."

The saleswoman immediately put down the A series display case, walked to a more upscale display case next to her, and picked up another crystal plate with a metallic sheen on its edges:

"Sir, if you have performance requirements, you can take a look at this 'Starry Night-B Series'. It's a popular mid-range model with 100GB of RAM and 20TB of storage, and the processor has also been upgraded, supporting holographic live streaming. The crystal board costs 5000 Star Coins, while the same model communication bracelet costs 10000 Star Coins."

Lin Hui glanced at it indifferently and shook his head.

Next, the female shop assistant dutifully introduced more than a dozen brands, with prices ranging from 2000 to 30000 Star Coins.

However, Lin Hui simply listened without showing any intention to pay.

The female shop assistant took a deep breath and led Lin Hui to the deepest part of the equipment area, in front of a standalone display case with the highest security level.

"Sir, this is the most premium item we have in our store right now." Her tone remained gentle as she patiently explained.

"This is the 'Mars-X series.' It has 12TB of RAM and a massive 512TB of storage. It's equipped with a miniature quantum processor, making it resistant to EMP electromagnetic pulse interference. It also has signal coverage in outer space. The chip costs 10 Star Coins, and the communication bracelet... costs 20 Star Coins."

Upon hearing the word "Mars," Lin Hui immediately became interested.

Mars Technology Group is one of the five top powers in the player star system.

They are far ahead in cutting-edge physics, weapons research, genetic engineering, AI systems, shield technology, and even medical biology.

The female shop assistant looked at Lin Hui and added softly:

"Sir, are you satisfied? Actually, the Xinglan-A Crystal Panel is a very good deal. I've been using it for ten years and have never had any problems with lag or low battery..."

Lin Hui smiled and said, "Take this 'Mars-X' communication bracelet, I want ten!"
