Just as the chat room was getting noisy because of the changes in the leaderboard, Wei Huan was driving around, searching for new Violent Bears.
This is indeed a great opportunity to rack up points.
Wei Huan was unaware whether there were intelligent beings controlling the world behind the challenges.
But he discovered that as soon as he killed a bear, a new bear would quickly spawn nearby.
This is similar to how in battle royale games, if a challenger can drive away from the battle, a new giant bear will spawn ahead.
In short, this unexpected event will make things difficult for every challenger, keeping them in a state of constant fear.
However, this mechanism also gave Wei Huan the opportunity to rack up points.
Without having to face two berserkers at the same time, and with the facehugger controlling him, Wei Huan can achieve almost zero casualties.
Moreover, he now has 22 summoned creatures, which allows him to end battles quickly.
He can take down a monster in an average of 10 minutes, and in 12 hours he can accumulate 70 points, which will bring him closer to his goal.
Surviving the initial challenges is no longer difficult for Wei Huan.
What he needs to do now is seize the opportunity, continue to expand his advantages, and accumulate strength in the early stages so that he can cope with higher-intensity challenges and battlefields in the later stages.
When the chat room became lively, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong both saw it. They looked at each other but didn't say anything.
Mu Zhong, who was initially very nervous and wanted to fight alongside Wei Huan, or at least be spiritually connected with him, had already unbuckled his seatbelt and left the passenger seat.
He climbed onto a stool, stood by the kitchen counter, and washed the fresh beef he had recently hunted. He said, "The small water collector isn't big enough. I'll see if I can get a bigger one later. Yak meat is really gamey. I saw people selling large pieces of meat at the auction house, but I never thought these things could be found in boxes..."
Wei Huan had already adapted to the pace of the "battle royale" game for an hour, and his ease in the game made him eager to join in.
We've driven quite a distance into the unexplored forests today; I wonder if there are any high-level chests there.
Opening boxes can be addictive; the more you open, the more addicted you become.
Silently calculating his maximum combat strength to deal with the raging bear, and considering the reserve forces, Wei Huan resolutely set aside two wolves as a group to search the forest.
Mu Zhong frowned upon seeing his actions: "What if another bear spawns?"
Wei Huan looked at the newly summoned cave beast and said, "I am confident that I can take care of both at the same time."
As Wei Huan finished speaking, the cave beast went straight to the abdomen of the other dimension, and seven or eight facehuggers fell down with a rustling sound, following behind the two running wolves into the forest.
Two wolves and eight facehuggers, even if they can't defeat the treasure chest monster, can effectively delay it until he finishes dealing with this part of the battlefield.
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm already looking forward to your return to Earth. The outside world will receive all your challenges and performances, and you'll probably gain worldwide attention immediately."
He paused, his movements slowing as he cut the beef. "Commander Mu won't let you go. All the major legions will be vying for you. It's practically a massive battleground."
"A battlefield?" Wei Huan repeated.
Mu Chong smiled, winking, but his face showed an expression of pride.
The team that went to explore the forest
Good news soon arrived: a list of supplies popped up on the windshield.
[Obtain Vehicle Engine Blueprint (Part 1) x1]

[Obtain 5 screws]
"Wow!" Mu Zhong exclaimed upon seeing this, "When luck comes, nothing can stop it; Lady Luck is on your side."
Wei Huan also found it amazing that he had actually obtained a Level 1 engine blueprint?
No wonder I felt like I missed out on a fortune after not exploring the forest and opening chests for a while.
So I almost missed out on a hundred million?
At this stage, if this Tier 1 engine blueprint were listed on the auction house, it would fetch at least tens of millions of dollars.
But does Wei Huan care about money?
Of course I don't care.
After selecting to learn, I had already collected enough upgrade materials, and the [Craft] button was immediately lit up.
Pressing the button doesn't show any visible change, but ten seconds later, the vehicle's speedometer jumps to 350 mph.
At this point, Wei Huan had fully upgraded the vehicle to Level 1, with the vehicle body itself being Level 2.
At this level, encountering a raging bear could even mean a head-on collision.
Even if it doesn't kill the car in one hit, it can easily shake off the taillights, making them unable to even see the taillights.
"Level 1 in all aspects?" Mu Zhong returned to the cockpit at some point, right behind Wei Huan. "Level 2 motorhome blueprints are hard to come by, and I haven't seen anyone selling them yet."
"Level 2 items, I'm afraid we'll have to open them ourselves."
"From a simple RV to a motorhome, then a multi-functional RV and a ground-based siege vehicle, I heard the Challenger Legion has already obtained the level 5 upgrade blueprints, called the Ground Fortress. This kind of upgrade path is like building a war fortress, it's hard to imagine what this little beat-up vehicle will be at the end?"
It is a "space fortress".
Eleven years later, the strongest human on Earth upgraded to a "Level 6 Heavy Land, Sea and Air Fortress" and learned that Level 7 was a "War Fortress" and Level 8 was a "Space Fortress".
As for Level 9, what is the final form of the vehicle upgrade?
Some experts say it's a space carrier, others say it's an interstellar warship, and still others say the space fortress is already the size of a planet. Perhaps the final form of vehicle evolution is the command ship of a powerful and unparalleled cosmic military empire.
In short, this challenge will bring a huge leap forward in technology and superhuman strength to the victor.
Let them step from their small, isolated planet onto the grand interstellar stage.
However, this rapid evolution process is also accompanied by enormous risks.
Humanity failed, at least in Wei Huan's previous life.
As I looked up, another bear whimpered and collapsed to the ground.
[Gain 1 point]
Chat room [704br1000]
[Points increased by 1, now 107.]
[This means they solved one in less than ten minutes. I'm curious about the expert's methods.]
[Are we participating in a challenge? Why do I feel so weak?]
[Waaaaah, this is definitely not a challenge! That bear has been chasing me for ages! I wish a pro could just drop in!]
[If you're going to allow murder, carjacking, or looting, then you should probably think twice.]
Stop being so jealous, I...
I trust the big shot. Someone of that level wouldn't even consider my paltry sums. Besides, being noticed by such a big shot is my good fortune.
[Simp.]
[You're such a suck-up, nobody can compete with me for this! Big boss, take a look at me, I want to be your lackey!]
Wei Huan's relaxed response gave the challengers, who were overwhelmed by fear and despair, some breathing room.
Even though such conversations wouldn't improve their strength, and Wei Huan couldn't actually save people, the fact that someone could easily turn the tables on a challenging monster still relieved them from that suffocating feeling.
After that, the number of people in the chat room continued to decrease, dropping below 700, but the cries for help decreased significantly.
Other people also spoke.
[Damn it, it's just a bear. If I don't try to fight back like the pros, can't I at least run away?]
[It's just a big, clumsy bear.]
[Here's a secret: as long as you maintain a safe distance from the bear, you only need to deal with the bear behind you; you don't need to worry about bears spawning in front of you.]
[We already knew this, schools teach it. I just want to remind everyone not to get distracted, watch out for the huge craters in the ground, and the regular monsters that spawn on the road.]
[Don't open treasure chests, don't open treasure chests, don't open treasure chests! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If a treasure chest monster spawns, you'll be attacked from both sides.]
[Teng Jiayang: I have a suggestion. If you encounter pit traps, are ambushed by wandering monsters, or new monsters spawn during the battle royale, please report it in the chat room after you escape. This will serve as a reminder to your more cautious teammates.]
I support this.
[Can.]
[Support +1]
For a time, under the threat of death, the challengers almost stopped listening to Teng Jiayang.
They even complained that Teng Jiayang only talked, complaining that the Challenge Legion didn't give out more free energy blocks, and complaining about the injustice of the world.
But at some point, the atmosphere suddenly changed, becoming calmer, and everyone became stronger, more tolerant, and empathetic.
"because of you."
As the aroma of beef filled the car, Mu Zhong returned to the passenger seat and said to Wei Huan, "A spiritual leader can do nothing, but must be strong enough."
When most people realize that they actually have powerful backers and stronger figures supporting them, they become courageous and fearless.
Wei Huan was not used to this change in identity, and he really did nothing.
But he knew that if Commander Dong or Captain Fang and the others fell one day, he would be filled with dread.
This is perhaps the charisma of a leader.
I'm glad that in this small district, I can at least bring a little hope and a reason to keep going to the less than 700 people who are still alive.
By 5:50 p.m., Wei Huan had killed 77 bears and opened 6 bronze chests and 1 iron chest.
The score has reached 180 points.
Every increase in points sparks a heated discussion.
[Wei Huan's monster-killing speed is getting faster and faster.]
[I feel at ease every time I open the leaderboard.]
[Big Boss An]
Okay, then I'll be fine.
He drove forward calmly, taking care of every spawning bear he encountered.
Later on, the summoned creatures became more and more skilled at coordinating their attacks, and their speed in killing the bears also began to increase.
What should have been a terrifying and bloody battle royale turned into a points-based hunting ground in his eyes.
Just then, a message in the chat room caught his attention.
[Shi Hengjun: The bear isn't that hard to kill. I just tried it and killed one easily.]
Shi Hengjun?
It seems to be the strongest person in this area in the previous life.
Wei Huan didn't care about the somewhat provocative statement; he simply opened the other party's message.
[Unable to view]
[Unable to view]
There is no publicly available information, just like with Wei Huan.
However, in the standings, we can see that Shi Hengjun is now in second place. His 4 points are not many, but he has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1, except for Wei Huan.
If you can complete the challenge on the fourth day, you will undoubtedly become a legendary class.
However, in his previous life, Wei Huan was exhausted from dealing with life-and-death escapes in the challenges and didn't pay much attention to the top spot in the community.
All I remember is that their 1006th district was only slightly weaker than the other 20,000 districts in the country, and it was quickly merged into another district, with Shi Hengjun disappearing without a trace.
Surprisingly, Shi Hengjun's remarks sparked a heated discussion.
[Brother Shi is really amazing!]
[Once there's one, there will be two; surpassing it is only a matter of time.]
[Brother Shi, it's up to you! Defeat Wei Huan!]
Wei Huan didn't quite understand and looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Those who are talking are all from Hai Sang. This Shi Hengjun spent millions to buy blueprints and medicine yesterday, so his family must be very wealthy."
Wei Huan understood.
Haisang Challenger University and A-Challenge University are old rivals!
