Wang Fan had never been to izhou, but he couldn’t say he had no connection to it; the i Cai Kou Rou he made before was a specialty from there.
While he was lost in thought, the system prompt suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Ding, a sudden event detected—izhou Flood."
"Special mission issued: Go to izhou to provide support, and use your own influence to guide more social forces to aid."
"Reward: All donated supplies can be increased by 100% (limited to food ingredients). Other rewards will be given based on the host’s contribution (PS: You are just a chef, let professionals handle professional matters, don’t cause trouble for them)."
"If you accept this task, the weekly task will automatically terminate, and you can receive half of the rewards."
"If you do not accept this task, the original task remains unchanged, rewards unchanged. Please confirm whether to accept within 1 day."
"Yes/No"
"Countdown: 23:59:59..."
Wang Fan frowned deeply.
Is this sothing he could handle?
Plus, using his influence...
What influence did he have? He wasn’t a big star, attracting people to eat and drink might be possible, but attracting people for disaster relief...
Wang Fan wasn’t that narcissistic.
Should he accept the task or not?
After just a mont of hesitation, Wang Fan had already made up his mind.
Accept!
Wang Fan never considered himself a big deal, but he had received quite a lot of help from society. Now that he has a chance and the ability to contribute, there’s no reason to shrink back at this mont.
Wang Fan cherished his life; having brushed with death once, he knew how terrifying it was.
But so things need to be done by soone; if it weren’t for this system-given attribute, he might hesitate, but with this defying attribute, he believed his contribution would greatly improve.
"Task accepted, please set off towards izhou’s fire departnt within 24 hours and participate cooperatively in the operations."
"Ensure your safety, wish you safety and good luck."
Wang Fan chuckled, wasn’t that necessary?
This was only the sixth place he’d visited, he hadn’t had enough of life yet.
"Ding, task completed (1/2), reward: Chef Level 2.5, 5000 points."
"Ding, special task completed (1/2), obtained all kitchenware including a permanent multifunctional machine (green), Chef Level 5, 25000 points."
"RV upgrade."
Once the points were credited, Wang Fan gave the command directly.
"Ding, RV upgrade complete, obtained the Thirteen Diamond Wuling RV War God Edition."
"Thirteen Diamond Wuling RV War God Edition (Type A RV), exterior dinsions: 10990×2500×3640(mm), with 40 square ters of luxurious space. Equipped with AI interaction, L5 autonomous driving, satellite antenna, GPS, audio-visual entertainnt, rear-view monitoring system, anti-collision alarm system, hydraulic leveling, full bathroom, safety alarm system, and more. Whatever you can think of, it has it; whatever you can’t think of, it also has!"
"Feature: Its existence is reasonable; the RV changes won’t catch anyone’s attention."
"Host automatically receives A1 driving license and driving experience."
Damn, looking at the giant that expanded in an instant, Wang Fan couldn’t help but be astonished.
The previous RV could barely be called a car, still within the C1 license’s range, but this one before him could only be called a bus; no wonder even his license got upgraded to A1.
Also, this upgrade was likely the most profitable one yet, just based on the RV’s size and decor, the starting price would easily be over a million.
Now he didn’t have to worry about not fitting all his kitchenware; every piece could be arranged perfectly.
But how to tell Zhuo Qianqian about this?
Sneak away without telling her?
Wang Fan felt a bit stressed, but evidently, there wasn’t much ti for such stress; disaster relief is like fighting fire; getting there early is far better than late.
"I’m going out; should be back in a week or two at the earliest. Study well and prepare for exams."
He sent a text, and Wang Fan decisively drove straight towards izhou.
With the auto-driving feature on, the bus RV moved very smoothly and soon reached the highway.
Wang Fan pulled out his phone to check the ssages.
The hot search was filled with celebrity scandals, popular variety shows, TV dramas, young math prodigies, but there wasn’t any news from izhou.
Only when Wang Fan manually searched did a few videos appear.
"Heavy rain started at 2 AM on the 20th and lasted 20 hours, with Pingyuan County National Station recording 284 mm rainfall, second in local history. izhou city’s maximum rainfall reached 375 mm, far exceeding the local rivers and drainage system’s capacity."
"Currently, rescue activities are underway, but due to the vast affected area, it still feels like a drop in the ocean."
"Water, power, and road cuts, looking around, there’s only one devastating scene after another, but fortunately, there were no massive casualties."
...
Wang Fan’s frown deepened, he didn’t expect izhou’s situation to be this dire.
Such a big issue, and there wasn’t a hint online?
"Where is this, why is the flooding so serious?"
"izhou...?!"
The fully-focused Wang Fan suddenly heard a voice behind him, answering unconsciously, and when he ca to his senses, he was nearly startled out of the driver’s seat.
What the...? How is she here?!
Seeing Wang Fan’s shocked and puzzled eyes, Zhuo Qianqian rubbed her sleepy eyes: "We have no class this afternoon; I ca back for a nap after lunch. Where are we going?"
Oh crap!
Even with Wang Fan’s threshold, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
After leaving the kitchen, he went straight to the RV, and after upgrading, drove off without checking if anyone was on board!
What now?
He looked at the GPS; it’d been only 60 km from Tianjin, he could find an exit and send her back without too much trouble.
"Um... I need to go sowhere, how about I drop you back at school first?"
"Huh?"
The still groggy Zhuo Qianqian hesitated, then her mind started racing, connecting back to what Wang Fan was just reading...
"Boss, you’re not heading to that flood-stricken place, planning to just dump back to school, and go alone?"
Wang Fan rubbed his temples; sotis having a smart girlfriend was too much—no secret goes unnoticed!
Since she guessed, he might as well be straightforward: "Yes, I want to see if I can help sohow, but it’s hard and exhausting, so you’d better not go. Let find a highway exit and send you back to school."
