Chapter 12 Night Raid on the Parking Lot

Hearing Dong Qi say this, Dong Hao was unable to refute it for a moment.

"So, brother, if you trust me, you don't need to go bankrupt. Just stock up on supplies in the next couple of days."

Anyway, rice, flour, and cooking oil are cheap now, so I'll stock up on 20,000 to 30,000 yuan worth at once before prices go up.

After listening to Dong Qi's reminder, Dong Hao really prepared to go back and stock up on some supplies. In fact, if he only bought basic living supplies such as rice, flour, and cooking oil, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan could really meet the living expenses of a family of three for about a hundred years.

However, seeing that Dong Qi's expression was still somewhat gloomy, Dong Hao still asked with some curiosity, "It's not that I don't trust you. There's a wholesale market right here. I'll ask for leave when we leave."

Upon hearing Dong Hao misinterpret his thoughts, Dong Qi explained, "Actually, hoarding supplies is a minor issue. What I'm worried about now isn't the shortage of supplies, but rather the subsequent chain of disasters."

It's important to know that in most novels, whenever the awakening of supernatural abilities is involved, it's usually accompanied by the revival of spiritual energy.

Although the revival of spiritual energy will bring benefits such as universal cultivation and increased lifespan of awakened individuals, the early stages of the revival will be anything but peaceful, whether due to natural disasters or man-made calamities.

Compared to man-made disasters, which can be resolved as long as the imperial court is determined.

I still have some fear of natural disasters that are beyond our control. I won't say much more, but I suspect that in the future, there may be natural disasters that are difficult for ordinary people to withstand.

Unlike this snowstorm, this time it won't be like before, where you could get through it safely by just staying home.

Seeing that Dong Qi was still going on and on, Dong Hao suddenly shuddered and immediately stopped him, saying, "Alright, stop jinxing me. I'm glad you're alright. I have things to do here, so I'll be going now. Don't worry about anything else."

Watching Dong Hao leave, Dong Qi felt even more anxious.

Sometimes, when we don't pay attention to something, we don't think about it deeply. But once we start paying attention, we can't help but delve into it.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to continue upgrading my natal item. As long as I am strong enough, I can easily face any problem.

Thinking of this, the panel in Dong Qi's mind reappeared.

My specialty: light passenger vehicle.

Rank: Mortal Artifact

Body frame: Basic reinforcement (20%)

Power System: Basic Enhancement (20%)

Electrical equipment: Primary reinforcement (20%)

Other equipment: Unenhanced (0%)

Manifestation of ideas

Number of occurrences: 1

Unknown special energy value: 10.1

(Each manifestation consumes a minimum of 100 energy points, with no maximum limit.)

After the last enhancement, I saw changes in the unknown special energy value. I thought this energy would be automatically absorbed and increased every day.

However, since the last upgrade, the energy value has remained at 10.1 without any change.

It seems that the increase in energy value is not related to time. So the only change in the process of increasing from 0.1 to 10.1 is that I upgraded my natal item.

Although we don't know what this unknown energy is, we have figured out a way to increase the energy value.

The next goal is quite simple: by consuming a large number of vehicles, one can quickly improve their own destiny item.

In this day and age, although cars are still not cheap, they have become something that can be seen everywhere.

If Dong Qi were bold enough, he could go to the city at night, where vehicles were everywhere on the streets, and he could probably complete several enhancements in one night.

However, if Dong Qi really acts so recklessly and arbitrarily takes over parked cars on the roadside, it probably won't be long before someone comes to check the water meter.

So now, we need to find places like his parking lot, which not only have a large number of vehicles parked there, but also don't usually attract much attention.

There are other parking lots similar to this one around Pengcheng. There should be three more similar parking lots in the north, east, and south of the city.

However, Dong Qi didn't know much about this, but it was very easy to find such a place; he could ask any traffic officer for the address.

However, the vehicles in the parking lot on the west side of the city have all been devoured by Dong Qi's natal object. Although it has not been discovered yet, this matter cannot be kept secret and will be discovered sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the others noticed that Dong Qi had specifically asked about the locations of the other three parking lots. Anyone with a brain could connect the disappearance of vehicles from the West City parking lot to Dong Qi, so they couldn't ask him directly about it.

As for searching online, that's even less likely. Parking lots with a large number of abandoned vehicles are usually not directly displayed on navigation systems or maps.

Besides parking lots, the only other place Dong Qi could think of with a large number of cars was the parking area of ​​a 4S store.

However, compared to the older cars parked in the parking lot, all the cars parked over there are new cars.

The parking lot there is also more strictly managed than the one here, but it's still much more relaxed than the city parking lots which are full of cameras.

There probably aren't many people there at this time, since the snowstorm has only just ended.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi was also afraid of missing this opportunity.

Although the 4S stores in Pengcheng are not in the west of the city, they are mostly concentrated in the south of the city. Fortunately, those concentrated areas are also relatively remote, so people who do not usually need to buy a car will not wander around those places.

Just as Dong Qi had guessed, at night, although the lights for the cameras in those parking lots were on as usual, none of the guards who were supposed to be on duty showed up.

Dong Qi may not know how to effectively avoid monitored areas, but he knows how to destroy surveillance cameras.

The enhanced body greatly improved Dong Qi's control over his body, and his accuracy also improved significantly. With just a few pieces of gravel, he successfully destroyed the surrounding cameras.

Although he didn't know if there were any hidden cameras around, Dong Qi couldn't care less at this point and started devouring again.

Unfortunately, even after absorbing all the vehicles in the parking lot, Dong Qi's natal item's upgrade progress only reached 72%.

Although there was no direct upgrade, the upgrade process indirectly completed a powertrain transformation by absorbing some hybrid electric vehicles and a number of pure electric vehicles.

At this point, the power system of the vehicle changed from simply burning gasoline to a hybrid system, and the small battery pack inside the car was replaced by a large battery pack similar to that of an electric vehicle.

The maximum energy reserve has reached 100 kWh, which is enough to run for 300 to 400 kilometers under normal circumstances, unless there is extreme weather.

In fact, at first, Dong Qi did not expect that after absorbing hybrid and pure electric vehicles, his pure gasoline vehicles would also undergo changes.

Fortunately, this change is only an enhancement and has no impact on other aspects.
