Since they were going to keep watch, they naturally couldn't stay inside the vehicle.

Chen Ye went to the roof of the Monster Pickup Truck and sat down cross-legged.

The Pink-haired Girl stood on the vehicle roof, her pink ponytail swaying. After scanning the surroundings with sharp, electric-like eyes, she also placed the Fire Dragon Sword across her knees.

The two looked at each other and sat facing one another.

This ensured they were within each other's line of sight.

If they sat back-to-back, there would always be some blind spots.

One had to remember, Anomalies came in all strange and bizarre forms. Who knew what kind of weird monster they might encounter.

The two exchanged another glance, both seeing a hint of vigilance in the other's eyes, and then they both relaxed slightly.

The Pink-haired Girl slightly narrowed her eyes and began her cultivation.

Who knew what this girl's cultivation method actually was.

He had asked a few times, but the stubborn girl wouldn't say a thing.

Chen Ye looked up at the sky and saw no trace of the blood moon.

Without the blood moon, cultivation efficiency wasn't high, but it was better than nothing.

Seeing that the Monster Pickup Truck still had over five hours before its upgrade was complete, Chen Ye also slightly narrowed his eyes and began circulating the "Moon Devouring Technique".

In the latter half of the night, it was Iron Lion and Ding Dong's turn to take over the watch.

"Any discoveries?"

Ding Dong looked somewhat haggard, though it was unclear why.

The Pink-haired Girl replied, "None!"

Iron Lion chuckled foolishly, "Yezi, Xixi, you two rest well. Leave the rest to us!"

Leave it to you?

That's exactly why we can't rest easy!

Chen Ye thought this, but still patted Iron Lion's shoulder before heading back into the vehicle.

His insomnia was getting worse and worse.

But he still needed to rest eventually.

As a Superhuman, not resting for a short while wasn't a big problem.

But if he went without rest for too long, problems would eventually arise.

Just as Chen Ye closed his eyes, lying in bed trying hard to fall asleep, the sound of the System upgrade completing ultimately disturbed his slumber.

Sigh...

It seemed he wouldn't get any sleep tonight either.

Out of the corner of his eye, through the vehicle window, he saw Iron Lion sprawled out on the roof of the school bus, snoring loudly.

Even though many supplies were strapped to the roof, making it definitely not very comfortable to sleep on, the guy was still sleeping soundly.

Ding Dong, however, remained sitting cross-legged on the roof of that truck, motionless like an old monk.

Chen Ye rubbed his somewhat stiff face and then began checking tonight's upgrade results.

The exterior of the Monster Pickup Truck didn't show any major changes after the upgrade was complete.

It's just that several interior dome lights had been added inside the cabin.

For example, there were now two small dome lights on the ceiling of the driver's cabin.

When turned on, they emitted a warm, yellowish light.

In the future, if he needed to do any operations inside the vehicle, this kind of warm yellowish lighting would be quite suitable.

There was also one white light.

If the driver's cabin needed strong illumination, this white light would serve the purpose.

The cargo compartment also had several dome lights.

Similarly, there was warm, cozy yellowish light and white light for illumination.

Moreover, the lights on the ceiling were divided into four sections; he could light up whichever one he needed.

There was even a skylight-style lamp right in the middle of the ceiling.

If he turned on this skylight lamp, it even created an effect like sunlight streaming indoors.

Each light could even have its brightness adjusted according to need.

Truly worthy of being System-produced.

The upgrade to the vehicle lights was very suitable for the current situation.

When Chen Ye went outside the vehicle, he then noticed some changes to the vehicle's exterior appearance.

Originally, the Monster Pickup Truck's lights were somewhat yellowish.

Before, Chen Ye's attitude towards the truck's lights was that as long as they worked, it was fine. As long as they didn't consume Slaughter Points, anything was acceptable.

But now...

Not only were the lights much brighter.

There was also a roof rack on top of the vehicle.

This roof rack was also upgraded incidentally during the recent light upgrade.

Around the perimeter of the roof rack, there was a row of light beads on each side serving as supplementary light sources.

If he turned on all these supplementary light beads, he could illuminate all four sides of the vehicle body.

Of course, he could also control them from inside the cabin to illuminate only one side.

Furthermore, each direction also had two large auxiliary vehicle lights.

These two lights were different from the light beads; they could project light very far.

When the Eternal Night descended.

The Monster Pickup Truck wouldn't have to worry about insufficient light sources while driving.

Previously, Chu Che and Sun Xixi's vehicles had supplementary light sources.

They just rarely had much use for them.

Only occasionally used a little during night driving.

But this time, the Monster Pickup Truck had also filled its lighting shortcomings.

Chen Ye expressed satisfaction with the System's upgrade plan.

Everyone was sleeping soundly at the moment.

Therefore, Chen Ye didn't turn on all these lights one by one to test their effects.

Anyway, System-produced items definitely wouldn't cut corners or use shoddy materials.

Six thousand Slaughter Points wasn't much for the currently flush-with-cash Chen Ye.

After upgrading the lighting system.

Chen Ye began planning the next upgrade project.

The Eternal Night was definitely dangerous.

There were many areas currently in need of upgrade.

Chen Ye mentally calculated.

Originally, he planned to upgrade the vehicle's exterior.

But after thinking it over, Chen Ye still decided to upgrade the tires.

The tires had blown out before, and the new ones he put on weren't a great match either.

He originally intended to find an Insect Breeder to get a few Tire Worms.

But that guy demanded an exorbitant price.

So he abandoned that idea.

Of course, according to the Insect Breeder, cultivating Tire Worms wasn't easy.

Upgrading the tires wasn't just about upgrading the tires alone.

He also needed to upgrade the vehicle's suspension, preferably making it adjustable for height—able to raise or lower.

Raising it could improve the vehicle's off-road capability.

Lowering it could increase speed on relatively flat roads.

For example, Chu Che and the others' off-road vehicles had front and rear triple differential locks, and things like disconnectable sway bars and such.

That meant there were many aspects to upgrade.

One had to know, these configurations were present on both Chu Che and the Pink-haired Girl's vehicles.

But Chen Ye's vehicle lacked these functions.

Because of this, every time they encountered troublesome road sections, it was the little monster hidden in the vehicle that intervened.

But under certain road conditions, even if the little monster intervened, it was still somewhat troublesome, although these troubles never truly stumped the little monster.

Still, Chen Ye was very willing to improve the vehicle's physical performance.

Fortunately, Chen Ye was still somewhat rational.

If the upgrade took too long, and they encountered an emergency situation, it would be troublesome.

In the end, Chen Ye still chose an upgrade plan that included vehicle body lift plus tire upgrade.

As for other functions, he could upgrade them later when he had more free time.

If he hadn't developed some suspicions towards the System.

The vehicle upgrades could have been completed much earlier.

But Chen Ye didn't regret wasting some time due to his caution.

Because he was inherently a suspicious character by nature.

If not for his prudence, he probably wouldn't have made it this far.

He'd rather go a bit slower, but ensure his own safety.

That was Chen Ye's philosophy.

As for the tire upgrade plan.

This time, Chen Ye chose the off-road tires produced by the System. The thick tread pattern looked reassuring just by sight.

According to the System's introduction, this type of tire wasn't any known tire currently known to mankind.

This System-produced tire could handle most terrains currently known.

Moreover, its anti-burst properties were maxed out; there was simply no possibility of a blowout.

Because what filled these tires wasn't gas, but a special type of rubber. While ensuring it could absorb ground energy, it also had extreme durability.

The System's quote was three thousand Slaughter Points for one such tire.

Even though Chen Ye was currently flush with cash, he still couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.

Damn, that's too expensive.

As expected, fleeting wealth was just an illusion.
