Chapter 7 Physical Enhancement
Chen Hao ordered another one—
[Child Safety Seat (Top Tier): Requires 20000 Popularity Points to redeem.]
[Note: This is a top-of-the-line child safety seat produced by our system. It features all-around collision protection, offers exceptional comfort, and is compatible with any car model.]
Chen Hao scrolled down and found that the shop had all sorts of skills and items, such as "God-level Fishing", "God-level Painting", "God-level Bamboo Weaving", "God-level Carpentry", "God-level Bricklaying", "Magic Storybook", "Sleep Night Light", "Anti-lost Bracelet", etc. The cheapest ones started at thousands of popularity points, while the more expensive skills and items even cost tens or hundreds of thousands of popularity points.
He then clicked on the "Tasks" tab, which was empty except for a line of small print: "Random tasks will be released at the appropriate time; complete them to receive generous rewards."
There are no fixed tasks; tasks are assigned randomly.
Chen Hao thought about it for a moment, and it meant that he didn't need to do any special tasks. He could just take care of the child normally, and the system would automatically issue tasks when it felt the time was right, and he would get a reward for completing them.
The "Properties" tab only contains two items—
[Host: Chen Hao]
[Constitution: 11 points (Enhanced, first-time binding reward)]
[Charm Points: 5 (First-time binding reward)]
He recalled that the first time he was bound, he did receive these two rewards.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly the physical enhancement had done, but he did feel much better starting just now. Even though he was in the hospital being treated just a few days ago, he was busy packing and driving today, and he didn't feel tired at all.
As for the charm value +5...
He glanced at himself in the rearview mirror subconsciously, and it seemed that nothing had changed; it was still the same face.
He snapped out of his thoughts; the car had already driven into the nearby commercial district.
He used his phone's navigation app to search for "car accessories store," and the nearest one was just 300 meters ahead.
He turned on his turn signal and went in, stopping in front of a store with a sign that read "Baby Car Seat Specialist".
Chen Hao turned off the engine, got out of the car, and opened the back door.
Shen Xiaoting remained obediently seated, her hands gripping the seatbelt, a little sweat on her face, probably because the car was a bit stuffy.
"Tingting, we're here. Daddy will help you get off." He unbuckled his daughter's seatbelt, picked her up, and led her into the store by her little hand.
The shop door is made of glass, and when you push it open, you can smell the leather and plastic.
The store was filled with all kinds of child safety seats, ranging from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, in a variety of colors, including red, black, gray and blue.
A male shop assistant in a blue uniform came up to us. He was probably in his early thirties, with a round face, and looked quite friendly.
"Hello, what do you need?" the shop assistant asked with a smile.
"A child safety seat," Chen Hao said, glancing down at his daughter beside him. "My daughter is three years old and weighs about 15 kilograms."
The shop assistant nodded and glanced towards the door: "What kind of car do you drive?"
Chen Hao pointed to the white SUV parked at the entrance: "That one."
The shop assistant glanced at him, then at Chen Hao, a fleeting glint in his eyes quickly concealed by a professional smile.
He walked to the shelf, took down three car seats, and placed them side by side on the floor.
"This is the basic model, 800 yuan, with ISOFIX interface and five-point safety harness, which is sufficient."
This one is mid-range, priced at 1800 yuan. It has added side impact protection and headrest adjustment, making it more comfortable.
"This is the top-of-the-line model," he said, patting the last one—a gray and black seat that looked very sturdy.
"3,500 yuan, made of aerospace-grade materials, with all-around impact protection, stepless seat angle adjustment, and can rotate 360 degrees, making it convenient to get in and out of the vehicle."
This is the best one in our store; it has the highest safety rating.
Chen Hao squatted down to look at the three chairs, touched the material, pressed the thickness of the foam, and tested the feel of the buckles.
He didn't understand these things, but he knew one very simple truth—his daughter's safety was paramount.
"I want the best," he said, standing up.
The salesperson smiled and nodded, picked up the 3,500 yuan seat, and called the installation technician out from behind.
The installation technician was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing work gloves and carrying tools. He followed Chen Hao to the car.
Chen Hao opened the rear door, and the installer bent over and crawled inside, placed the seat on the back seat, adjusted the angle, and secured it with ISOFIX connectors.
He pulled out the seatbelt and wrapped it around several times, then shook it vigorously to make sure it wouldn't budge before finally crawling out.
"Alright, it's stable now." The installer wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Hao went up and shook the seat himself, and it didn't budge at all, which immediately gave him a sense of security.
He turned around, took Shen Xiaoting's hand, picked her up, and put her in the seat.
The seat cushion is very soft, and there are thick protective wings on both sides, which completely wrap around my daughter's small body.
He pulled over the five-point harness, and the two shoulder straps came over from his daughter's shoulders, met at her chest, and were inserted into the buckle with a click, fitting perfectly.
He tugged at the seatbelt, tightening it to make sure it wouldn't strangle his daughter's neck, nor would it be so loose as to fail to provide protection.
Shen Xiaoting sat in the seat, her whole body firmly secured by the seatbelt, only her two little feet could swing back and forth.
She looked down at her seatbelt, then looked up at Chen Hao, a very faint expression on her face, it was hard to tell whether she felt curious or uncomfortable.
"Are you comfortable?" Chen Hao asked.
Shen Xiaoting thought for a moment and nodded.
Chen Hao felt a warmth in his heart, reached out and patted his daughter's head, then closed the car door and turned to the shop assistant, saying, "Thank you, I've paid. WeChat or Alipay?"
"Just scan the QR code with WeChat." The clerk took out the payment QR code.
Chen Hao scanned the code; it was 3,500 yuan. He didn't even blink.
He used to compare prices at three different stores before buying anything, trying to save money wherever possible. But things are different now. He has a three-year-old daughter, and her safety is more important than anything else.
After paying, he got into the driver's seat and started the car.
He took out his phone, opened the navigation, and set the destination—Fengshuping, which was about 1,200 kilometers away from his current location. The navigation showed that it would take 14 hours to drive there.
He glanced at the time; it was 2 PM.
If it takes fourteen hours, we'll arrive at our destination around three or four in the morning.
It's too late. It's fine for him to drive alone at night, but it's not safe for him to be with his daughter.
He decided to drive for a few hours, stop at a service area to rest, find a hotel to stay overnight, and continue driving the next day.
He shifted gears, released the brakes, and the car slowly drove out of the parking space and merged into the main road.
About ten minutes after the car started moving, Chen Hao kept glancing at his daughter in the rearview mirror while driving.
Shen Xiaoting sat in her newly installed car seat, her little hands resting on the armrests on either side of the seat, her face turned towards the car window, her expression more relaxed than before.
