Shi Hengjun had not explored the forest for two days after the "unexpected incident".
He only opened the crates he found on the highway, and if he lacked any upgrade materials or food, he would ask his underlings for them.
His father was a board member of Haisang University, and the Shi family's businesses spanned across Eurasia.
Before the world changed dramatically, his family stood at the top of the world; after the world changed dramatically, his family still stands at the top.
It's all because they used the same method—"Anything that money can solve isn't a problem."
Shi Hengjun, relying on his strong economic power and influence at the school, gathered a group of supporters around him.
If even one or two of these people can join him in the same district, they can help him with a lot of things.
He'll have what they have, and he'll buy what they don't have at a high price.
With Shi Hengjun's legendary profession, surviving the challenges is quite easy.
The focus now is on how to gain a greater advantage and acquire more resources.
Due to an "unexpected event," Shi Hengjun failed to win first place.
In addition to losing a silver treasure chest, his car's body shell and external serration reinforcements were completely destroyed in that challenge, and it took even more money to restore them.
After that, Shi Hengjun set his sights on the first place in the [Champion Challenge].
The first place winner will receive a gold treasure chest. In addition, if you occupy the top spot on one or two other leaderboards, you can also receive a gold treasure chest reward.
Only those who have opened the golden treasure chest know how abundant the resources inside are.
It can allow a challenger's abilities to take off.
Not to mention opening two golden treasure chests.
Of course, Shi Hengjun has the financial resources and strength; this wasn't his original goal.
His initial goal was to be number one on the overall leaderboard.
However, after seeing Wei Huan's high score of 525, he knew that he had no chance of winning the leaderboard reward.
Challengers who rank high on the "points leaderboard" are usually also strong on the "battle power leaderboard," as these two lists are closely related.
Of the remaining "Lifestyle Ranking" and "Vehicle Performance Ranking", Shi Hengjun could only put together the "Vehicle Performance Ranking".
The "Life Ranking" is dominated by the Challenge Legion every year. That behemoth is so powerful that even someone like Shi Hengjun wouldn't dare to challenge it.
Therefore, the two golden treasure chests, "Champion Challenge" and "Vehicle Performance Ranking," are the only ones he can get his hands on.
Three days ago, he had been speeding along the road and had not ventured into the forest to explore the box again.
Moreover, with strong financial support, his vehicle performance rankings were also impressive, with many major components upgraded to level 1, and even the vehicle speed reaching 280 km/h.
The chat room was filled with speculation that Wei Huan's speed was only 280 km/h.
Shi Hengjun also agrees with this point.
So everyone is at the same speed of 280. As long as you don't slow down, drive from dawn to dusk, Wei Huan will never catch up with you.
The championship is mine!!
[The gold medal belongs to my brother Shi!]
[Congratulations in advance to Brother Shi.]
[Brother Shi is amazing! I heard he's almost maxed out his level 1 vehicle, and he'll be able to upgrade the whole vehicle soon. 280 speed!]
Who else?!
[Highway Challenge, Highway Challenge, as the name suggests, strength of the vehicle is key; don't confuse the primary and secondary aspects. In later challenges, no matter how skilled an individual is, can they really fight against monsters? Of course, you'll use your vehicle to sweep through.]
In the chat room, one could immediately hear voices praising Shi Hengjun.
In fact, many people don't take it seriously, and they know that Wei Huan is much better than Shi Hengjun.
However, it is a fact that Shi Hengjun is currently in the lead, so let him be arrogant for a while. Many people believe that Wei Huan will catch up sooner or later.
A big shot who can kill a bear as if it were nothing more than a chicken or a dog will not tolerate such an insult.
Let's wait and see how things unfold.
Shi Hengjun and his classmates and followers made a fuss for a while, but then they got bored and gradually dispersed.
As soon as they stopped talking, the chat room started playing again.
[Mu Zhong: Acquire one bearing and one diamond support pillar, the price is M.]
...
This time, someone quickly messaged Mu Zhong privately.
[Duan Yucen: Mu Zhong, is that you? I guess you got into Wei Huan's car, right? Don't stay silent. I know I shouldn't ask this, but I thought that given our relationship, I could at least ask you one question: are you feeling any better now?]
[Duan Yucen: With Wei Huan's abilities, he can only be stronger than Shi Hengjun. Shi Hengjun's trashy level 1 parts are almost maxed out; I don't believe Wei Huan is lagging behind. You think you can hide it? The Vajra Pillar is the core material for upgrading a level 2 RV; those who should have guessed it already did.]
[Duan Yucen: Why aren't you saying anything? This isn't like you. You only broke two legs, did you break all the bones?]
The text was projected onto the windshield, densely packed and bright, and Wei Huan and Mu Zhong could see it clearly.
It's been three days now. Ever since Wei Huan made a big splash in the "unexpected incident," and Mu Zhong has been collecting materials in the chat room every day, a number of alumni from Challenger University in City A have been contacting us.
If you don't know someone, ask them politely, and if you don't get an answer, stop talking.
Those who knew him asked a few more questions, and then kept quiet.
Only Duan Yucen has been persistently knocking on Mu Zhong's door these past few days, determined to get an answer.
Nothing more.
Duan Yucen is the student council president of their A-level university.
He often collaborates with Mu Zhong and they are close.
There were some rumors circulating at school, and the two did indeed have a better relationship than the average alumnus.
It's normal to want to know the situation.
Mu Zhong, who used to have friends and brothers all over campus, now has no desire to contact any of his old friends.
Having lost both legs and being forced to marry a man, even Wei Huan, let alone Mu Zhong, wouldn't want to tell anyone about it.
What should she say? That she was forced by her father to marry a disabled man because he disliked her?
Some things may not be bad, but within the rules of this society, they are simply difficult to talk about.
Mu Zhong's silence was perhaps not without the unspoken pressure from Wei Huan.
When they got married, he was the one who married, and she was the one who was married off.
After boarding the vehicle, he was either seeking refuge or receiving.
Wei Huan was born with a strong personality, and having been given a second chance, he became even more farsighted. Some of his plans were difficult to explain, which made him even more taciturn and coldly decisive.
Mu Zhong got on the train on his first day
He knew that he had to respect Wei Huan's decisions in everything.
"Leave the challenge behind, and you can talk to each other in person for a more detailed discussion."
In the end, Wei Huan made the decision, and that's how it was done.
Gossiping in the challenge is disrespectful to those who die in the challenge.
And he was watching from the side, which was awkward.
Mu nodded, not wanting to linger in the atmosphere, and changed the subject, saying, "Shi Hengjun is in the lead, should we speed things up?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "I can drive for two more hours at night. Four hours of sleep a day is enough for me."
"You want the championship, and you want the supplies too?"
"Absolutely."
After they finished talking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the tense atmosphere from before dissipated.
Mu Zhong continued collecting materials on the world channel, while Wei Huan continued his extensive search at full speed.
A ghostly crow flew over, hovering in front of the car, uttering eerie murmurs.
"Quack quack quack!"
The words that distressed Mu Zhong sounded like a soul-to-soul communication to Wei Huan. The crow's voice couldn't be translated, but it could be understood as, "I see a different box."
This "different" usually refers to boxes of silver level or higher.
Upon receiving the report, Wei Huan immediately mobilized his troops. The fully equipped squad of the third branch of the armed forces followed the ghost crow and charged out.
A short while later, the list of supplies appeared.
[Obtained Silver-tier Longbow x1]
[Obtain Tire Reinforcement Blueprint (II) x1]
[Obtain Engine Enhancement Blueprint (1) x1]
[Obtained Diamond Pillar (Blue) x1]
[get...]
It really was a silver treasure chest.
Mu Zhong also looked over, his gaze falling on the pop-up list of supplies. He was about to say that these blueprints for increasing vehicle speed were perfect for making money, but his gaze then fell on the resources that popped up next.
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan exclaimed in unison, "The Vajra Pillar!!"
Immediately afterward, Mu Zhong became excited: "I've got it! I can upgrade the vehicle to level 2 soon! I'm currently negotiating with the bearings. What incredible luck!"
Wei Huan nodded and smiled broadly.
In fact, most of the advanced materials for upgrading Tier 2 vehicles were obtained by them themselves.
Wei Huan's unpacking skills are so good they're like plowing through the fields, better than 100 people could do it.
Wei Huan acquired the "Diamond Pillar," and Mu Zhong successfully traded the last "Bearing" 10 minutes later.
The [Create] button is lit up again.
Wei Huan stopped the car, clicked on [RV Upgrade], and turned around with Mu Zhong, waiting for this long-awaited moment.
A hazy white fog enveloped the car once more, filling the interior.
Even the chair Wei Huan was sitting on was submerged in the white mist.
There were clanging and banging sounds coming from the white mist, as if a construction team of hundreds of people were building around the vehicle at a hundred times the speed.
The progress bar countdown is 59 seconds.
The two counted down the time, and in the last 10 seconds, they straightened their backs expectantly, opened their eyes wide, and looked over.
As the last second arrived, the thick fog dissipated as expected, and the view suddenly opened up.
[RV] Upgrade complete!
if
Originally, after the upgrade to a Level 2 balcony, the vehicle looked like a long container converted into a motorhome from the inside.
So now, it's quite different from the conventional definition of a motorhome.
This author, Jingzhou Xiaoyao, reminds you that the latest chapters of "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" are updated first on [website name]. Remember to come here to read the latest and complete chapters.
First of all, the interior height has been increased from 2 meters to 3 meters, like the height of a regular building, eliminating that oppressive feeling.
Then the size of the RV was expanded to about 100 square meters.
The width is 20 meters, ten times that of the past. The length is twice that of the previous one, and with the second-level balcony included, the length is at least 30 meters.
It's like a three-bedroom, two-living-room house, with partitions separating the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, and a large balcony.
Looking back, the driver's seat appears larger.
From a minivan with a narrow driver's seat, it has been transformed into a large truck cab, with a width of up to two meters.
The driver's seat has been changed to two rows. Three people can sit in the front row, and four people can squeeze into the back row. Moreover, it can be folded down to become a bed.
Wei Huan had driven a motorhome in his previous life, so it wasn't anything special. He was just happy for a while because his wish to upgrade had been fulfilled, so he started the engine again and drove forward.
He also wants to win the [Champion Challenge] gold medal.
Mu Zhong, however, was truly entering the challenge for the first time and was filled with curiosity about the changes before him.
Following the knowledge he had been taught at school, he found the button in the middle of the seats, and the middle row of seats sank down, creating a passageway.
He walked past the driver's cab, peered into the nearest room for a few seconds, and then remembered to ask, "Aren't you going to come and take a look?"
"I'll be there in a bit," Wei Huan replied dismissively.
Mu Zhong happily went inside to explore.
Wei Huan saw Mu Chong going in and out of the car in the rearview mirror, looking very excited, and he smiled too.
"Haven't you ever seen a Tier 2 vehicle in the Dragon Group?"
"I'm too young to participate in the challenge world. Besides, that's someone else's car, this is our own car. I've watched it upgrade like this, and the difference in my feelings is huge."
Wei Huan admitted that he was touched by those words.
More people will board this train in the future, but no one can change the fact that he is the train commander and Mu Zhong is the deputy train commander.
They remained bound together until the car was blown up or the intruders were driven away.
Their stance, mentality, and sense of honor and shame are completely aligned.
It's only comfortable when we're together.
Wei Huan continued driving, while Mu Zhong calmly decorated the "new home".
After upgrading to a motorhome, the interior only contains basic necessities; you'll need to prepare your own mattress, bedding, curtains, clothes hangers, and even a toilet brush.
However, Wei Huan has been "casting a wide net" these past few days, opening far too many boxes.
Many basic supplies don't need to be exchanged outside; they're all readily available in the warehouse.
Some good things can't be bought anywhere else, like high-end massage beds. Before, there was nowhere to put them, but now they can be placed in the master bedroom.
Mu Zhong was busy talking until it got dark.
At 6 o'clock, after dark, the car was lit up with comfortable lights for the first time.
The lights embedded in the ceiling illuminate the dining table in the living room.
To celebrate, Mu Zhong prepared three dishes and a soup today.
Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, braised wild boar, pickled chives and peppers
Stir-fried meat, and bok choy and sliced meat soup.
All the vegetables are grown by ourselves in the "microscopic world".
Before sitting down, Wei Huan took a special look at Mu Zhong's attributes.
Name: Mu Zhong
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Occupation: Soul Dancer (Sequence 2)
Endurance: 42br210
Strength: 12
Agility: 1br13
Spiritual power: 31
Special conditions: severe injury, blood loss, depression.
A terrible panel.
Mu Zhong's stamina cap has been increased to 200, but his current stamina has never exceeded 60.
This is probably related to his "serious injury" and "blood loss".
The initial "fatigue" has disappeared, and with the stable environment these past few days, Mu Zhong has had a good rest.
The only thing Wei Huan was unsure about was "depression." Mu Zhong was actually quite strong and hardworking, sometimes even more mentally stable than him. Perhaps the kind of depression that led him to suicide was a condition only seen in "severe depression."
The good news is that, thanks to the combined effects of the potion and the microscopic world, my spiritual power has reached 31 points.
With nearly three times the spiritual energy, Wei Huan's strength would also increase by about three times compared to the last time he "exploded troops".
He was already so strong, stronger than he could have imagined in his previous life. The thought that he could become even stronger filled Wei Huan with boundless energy!
That's right. If you want to be strong, open more treasure chests and sleep less. You also need to take good care of Mu Zhong and make him as strong as possible.
Mu Zhong opened a bottle of beer, and Wei Huan drank it.
The beer, fresh from the refrigerator, was ice-cold and rolled down my throat and into my stomach, instantly waking me up.
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and smiled: "Is it delicious? From the day I opened it, I knew I would need it sooner or later."
Wei Huan said, "I'll drink with you once you've recovered."
"Absolutely! We'll drink until we drop!"
Wei Huan bumped his wine mug against Mu Zhong's rice bowl.
It made a "ding" sound.
...
On another track.
After dark, Shi Hengjun stopped the car, took the hot dogs and iced tea drinks that his underlings had given him, and sat down at the dining table on the first-floor balcony to eat dinner.
The large screen in front of him displayed private chat messages.
[Shi Ge is amazing! By the end of today's match, he's widened the gap with Wei Huan to 4%. Could Wei Huan have even reached a speed of 280? This time, the championship is definitely Shi Ge's.]
Shi Hengjun swirled his glass of red wine containing iced tea, took a bite of a hot dog, and smiled smugly.
He knew that these people fawned over him not only because he gave them a lot, but mainly because they all wanted to get on the Shi family's coattails.
The Shi family already has 11 Tier 4 vehicles. The ground siege vehicle is a war machine, with the strongest defense and attack capabilities at present.
This family is considered a top-tier family even in the Mulberry Tree Kingdom.
They are even less likely to die during mandatory siege missions.
However, Shi Hengjun found it uninteresting.
What kind of people are they, trying to get on his bandwagon? The Shi family has a limited number of siege engines; you can't get on by being a bootlicker.
However, being flattered by the other party
He was still very happy.
Especially when he thought about how Wei Huan must be anxious and flustered at this moment, yet helpless, and might only be able to eat some dry bread without any meat, he felt very happy.
We finally won back a point.
Shi Hengjun took a bite of the hot dog, chewing it with a satisfying crunch and enjoying its aroma.
After the meal, Shi Hengjun handed over the used wine glasses to his underlings to wash, then lay down on the bed and entered the Temple of Professions.
Shi Hengjun is very serious about professional training.
In the competition, only strength matters, not personal connections; no matter how much money someone has, it's useless.
He feels unsafe if he doesn't get into his family's car for a day.
In the professional temple, Shi Hengjun trained for a full 5 hours, and after coming out exhausted, he went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a wild animal attacked the vehicle. As soon as it got close, it was sliced in two by the saw teeth on the outside of the vehicle.
Some beasts that managed to dodge the serrated attacks were thrown back by the electric current just as they were about to attack the vehicles. Every now and then, arrows would shoot out from the roof of the vehicles, piercing the beasts' bodies with several holes, and they would eventually fall into pools of blood.
Nothing was said that night.
Shi Hengjun was woken up by his younger brother's constant chat messages.
He opened his eyes and looked out the window; it was still dark.
I glanced at the time; it was 5:33 AM.
[explain!]
[Brother Shi, Wei Huan ran away last night!!]
[??]
[Look, the gold medal has been renamed!]
Shi Hengjun subconsciously looked over and saw that the name on the gold medal in the upper left corner of the screen had changed to [1006 Qu Weihuan].
Shi Hengjun jolted awake and was fully awake.
I hurriedly clicked into the top 100 list.
The private chat is still popping up because it hasn't been closed; messages are automatically appearing.
[Brother Shi, he ran away last night, everyone's talking about it!]
We have to get it back!
Are you running at night too?
[That bastard doesn't follow the rules, how could he run around at night?]
[grass!]
...
Shi Hengjun stared wide-eyed at the list of the top 100.
Wei Huan is in first place with 83% progress.
Second place: Shi Hengjun, progress 81%.
"Son of a bitch!"
He gritted his teeth, sprang up, and rushed into the driver's seat.
But as he sat in the driver's seat, looking at the billowing black fog ahead, his finger on the ignition twitched.
That night, the bear suddenly burst out of the thick fog, its six paws raised, its gaping maw lunging at him...
The terrifying scene seemed to reappear before his eyes, jolting him awake.
I withdrew my cold fingertips.
The night is dangerous...
You can't get out of the car at night...
You can't drive at night...
Do not seek the darkness, for death's scythe is already raised high!
On the screen, the private messages were still popping up.
[Brother Shi, are you there? What do we do now?]
[Brother Shi? Brother Shi?]
Shi Hengjun's face twitched uncontrollably; he seemed completely petrified.
Even with all his might, his fingers couldn't press down firmly.
finally.
Jingzhou Xiaoyao reminds you that "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" is being updated as soon as possible. Remember to [] ü'come []_to see the latest chapters_complete chapters'()
Daylight broke.
It's 6 o'clock. The second day of the Gold Medal Challenge has officially begun.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!!"
Shi Hengjun cursed, not knowing whether he was cursing himself or Wei Huan, before his stiff fingers finally pressed the lighter.
"Boom boom boom!"
With his greasy hair and a crazed expression, he slammed on the gas pedal, sped forward, and drove off at breakneck speed.
...
"promise."
The bread was offered to Wei Huan's mouth, clearly intended to be fed to him. Wei Huan, not used to it, took it.
He held it in his hand; the bread was warm.
Mu Zhong put the cheese in the oven, baking it until the edges were crisp and fragrant. He also sandwiched it with tomatoes, lettuce, and a fried egg in the middle, then sliced it diagonally into a sandwich for breakfast.
Everything started with a hot and fresh breakfast, followed by a glass of equally warmed milk to soothe my stomach after a night of hunger.
When Mu Zhong took the empty box, Wei Huan said, "Thank you."
Mu Zhong said, "I was thinking that if you drove like that last night, Shi Hengjun would go crazy. He's a 280 km/h, and even if he only drives during the day without rest, the final outcome is hard to predict. You probably won't even have time to eat for the next two days, right?"
Wei Huan nodded in agreement with Mu Zhong's guess.
Mu Chong laughed: "I was guessing you were going to take in the Violent Bear next, right? The speed of the Wolf can reach 250 km/h, so it won't be far behind Shi Hengjun."
But you would never give up on any treasure chests within a one-kilometer radius.
Wei Huan smiled slightly but did not answer.
However, by pressing the accelerator harder, the car's speed increased from 150 to 280.
Moreover, the speed is uncertain, and there is no final result yet.
I kept pressing the accelerator until I reached 350!
At a speed of 350 km/h, it is three times the top speed of the Daxia Expressway.
Looking out the car window, the trees in the forest appeared as fleeting, indistinct shadows.
The road wasn't completely straight; there were occasional curves. Under Wei Huan's control, he precisely turned the steering wheel, which was a full turn larger, keeping the car always in the middle of the road.
Mu Zhong silently pulled off the seatbelt from the side.
As can be seen in the rearview mirror, Wei Huan's summoned army has disappeared.
Even a wolf couldn't catch up to that speed.
Only a flock of ghost crows remained, flashing past the car like lightning.
The ghostly nature of the ghost crows gives them lightning-fast speeds, and when they fly at full speed, they even give the impression of teleporting.
The crows became excited; they loved this speed.
They darted among the forest and vehicles, emitting excited "quack quack quack" sounds.
Subsequently, more screens projected onto Mu Zhong's side displayed lists of supplies.
[Obtained Bronze-level Stamina Potion x1]
[Obtained Bronze Agility Shoes x1]
[get...]
"What are you doing?!" Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan in surprise, realizing something.
Wei Huan said, "I'm driving at full speed and can't concentrate on anything else. Please keep track of how far we've driven."
"How many chests are needed? How many are bronze? How many are iron? And please let me know if you need silver chests."
Mu Zhong had fully realized what was going on. He lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then his eyebrows shot up and he smiled: "Good idea, we can do it!"
After saying that, he even clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Why didn't I think of that sooner? You're amazing!"
Two hours later.
Because he had driven early in the morning and hadn't eaten breakfast, Shi Hengjun finally felt hungry.
Thinking he would just grab a quick bite, Shi Hengjun had to slow down.
At 280 km/h, before [autopilot] is available, it's dangerous to even look away for a moment.
Therefore, at this moment, he turned his gaze back to the gold medal in the upper left corner of the projection screen.
The expectant gaze suddenly froze when they saw the name on it.
His face was filled with disbelief.
impossible!
He had been driving at full speed for two hours and would have to risk driving in the dark to catch up with Wei Huan, so why was he still ahead of him?
Wei Huan's speed is only 250 km/h, isn't it?
Shi Hengjun clicked on the gold medal until he saw the list of the top 100.
Above his wide-open eyes, a drop of murky, greasy sweat rolled down his forehead.
Wei Huan is in first place with 86% progress.
Second place: Shi Hengjun, progress 83%.
His progress and Wei Huan's progress not only did not shorten, but widened by another 1 percentage point.
In the chat room, people were discussing this again.
[This guy is incredibly ambitious! After setting a new challenge yesterday, he was driving all night. It has to be said, where there's a will, there's a way; heaven will save opportunities for those who put in the effort.]
[Two more days until the intense push for the championship, and the monsters at the finish line will increase, so think carefully.]
[Support the big shots to fight for it. The strong will always get stronger. All the big shots at the forefront of our Great Xia have grown stronger along the way.]
This time, there were no messages from my younger brother in the private chat.
They clearly knew Shi Hengjun would get angry, and dared not walk into the line of fire.
Shi Hengjun remained silent for a long time, and finally, his face flushed, he secretly knocked on Wei Huan's door.
What's your top speed?
The next second, the system automatically replied: "[The other party has set their contacts to be unavailable for chatting.]"
Shi Hengjun gritted his teeth in anger, grabbed the beef jerky from the passenger seat, tore open the packaging, took a big bite, crunched it a few times in his mouth, and then swallowed it with the cold mineral water.
Then, he stepped on the gas again and continued to accelerate.
But the more I drove, the more hopeless I felt.
By noon, their gap had reached 5 percentage points.
Moreover, Wei Huan's total time was also 90% after half an hour.
By the time it was getting dark, their gap had reached 8 percentage points.
Shi Hengjun stared at the glaring 95% progress.
They sensed an insurmountable gap between them.
Surname Wei?
Wei Huan from Challenger University in City A, which family does he belong to?
Shi Hengjun does not admit that he has not developed well enough, and prefers to believe that Wei Huan has the support of his family's glory.
Faced with such a challenge, the only solution is to pool the resources of a few individuals.
Only within a single person can a strong person be born.
Once we get out, we'll have to investigate. If it really is some reclusive family, that'll be fine, but if it's nothing at all...
Just before nightfall, a ruthless glint flashed in Shi Hengjun's eyes.
...
With 10 minutes left before dark, Wei Huan stopped the car and decided not to drive any further.
He summoned all his summoned creatures and glanced at his current stats in the rearview mirror.
A few days have passed.
The changes are enormous.
Name: Wei Huan
...
Endurance: 378br460
Strength: 56 + 20 (Silver Strength Bracers)
Agility: 33+15 (Silver Agility Dagger)
Dark Power: 137 + 30 (Silver Sage's Robe)
Special state: Dark energy erosion
Special Skill: Golden Needle Condensation Technique
Number of summoned creatures: 64.
24 Ghost Crows, 18 Running Wolves, 15 Violent Bears, 5 Hidden Cats, and 2 Cave Beast Mothers.
He had 64 summoned creatures. If it weren't for the fact that it was very difficult for the Crypt Beast Mother Beast to light the Death Flame, he could have summoned even more.
The ghost crows were the most numerous, but they lacked combat power and could only intimidate with their souls. However, Wei Huan still felt it was worthwhile.
Without Ghost Crow, his speed in collecting treasure chests would never have reached this level.
A day of lightning speed, with the ghost crows traversing the forest at 350 miles per hour, opened a total of 37 bronze treasure chests, 11 iron treasure chests, and 2 silver treasure chests for him.
I've never heard of anyone being able to achieve this level of efficiency.
However, now it's time to wrap things up.
While Wei Huan was making preparations for the battle, Mu Zhong was not idle either.
He laid out a coffee-colored plush carpet on the balcony at the back of the car, sat in the middle, and was hanging his equipment on his body.
[Silver Intelligence Dagger][Black Iron Intelligence Circlet][Black Iron Intelligence Ring][Black Iron Stamina Belt][Black Iron Stamina Ring][Black Iron Stamina Earrings].
Mu Zhong held the earring in his hand, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
He has no pierced ears, but his earring has an attribute that restores 0.1 stamina per minute, which he got from a silver treasure chest not long ago.
If it weren't for the glasses Wei Huan was wearing, which indicated that the earrings not only increased stamina by 8 points but also restored stamina when worn, he would never have put them on his ears.
Finally, Mu Chong gritted his teeth, heated the earring post with fire, and with a forceful pull on his earlobe, stuck it in.
!!
"..."
Without uttering a sound, he waited until the pain subsided before releasing his lower lip, where the teeth marks had been left.
The space had become larger, and Wei Huan turned around to look for Mu Zhong, only to see a blurry figure from behind.
"Are they here?"
Wei Huan asked, his voice carrying from the front of the car to the back.
The next second.
The internal communicator light came on, and at the same time, Mu Zhong's voice came from inside the vehicle: "Two eagles caught up first. They're very cunning. When they saw the undead legion by the vehicle, they didn't dare to get off."
"knew."
Wei Huan answered, and the five ghost crows transformed into a cloud of black mist, shooting forward like lightning.
Go to the sky.
Less than three seconds later, the two eagles froze, their wings stiff as they plummeted to the ground, where they died instantly.
A list of supplies popped up on the screen.
[Obtained 10 Eagle Feathers]
[Obtained 8 Eagle Feathers]
"Why is there an eight and a ten?"
"One big and one small. €_[()]€'Come. See the latest chapter. Complete chapter'()"
"Or one male and one female."
"hehe."
They both laughed at the same time. There wasn't anything really funny, but they just laughed.
After waiting for quite a while, the army of treasure chest monsters they had been waiting for finally appeared.
The most eye-catching one is the wolf running at the very front.
Behind them were a group of wild beasts from Earth, including tigers, bears, leopards, elephants, and giraffes.
Watching these treasure chest monsters, who were relentlessly fighting to the death because of the rules, being gathered and sent to their vicinity by the rules, and then launching a combined attack on them.
"Roar roar roar!"
"Awooooo!"
aggressive!
"..."
Mu Zhong remained silent.
After being chased by 300 monstrous bears, this ragtag monster horde made Mu Zhong suddenly realize that life was not worth living.
Using the speed of the ghost crows and the rule that summoned creatures touching treasure chests is equivalent to Wei Huan personally touching the treasure chests, they frantically opened the treasure chests in the forest.
It's all planned out; after stopping, they'll be attacked by a number of treasure chest monsters roughly equal to the number of treasure chests.
Furthermore, considering their influence on the rules, some rule penalties might also be taken into account.
Fully armed and ready for battle.
That's it!?
"Relax…" Mu Zhong was about to speak when Wei Huan's voice rang out from inside the car.
Wei Huan's voice was serious, even when facing this ragtag army of herbivores, he spoke with the tone of someone on a regular battlefield: "Solve this quickly, in case things change at night."
Mu Zhong answered instinctively, "Yes!"
Wei Huan left behind the summoned creatures protecting the vehicles and dispatched half of his forces to confront the monster tide.
As agreed beforehand, Mu Zhong swayed his body and entered the state of a soul dancer.
With the rhythm of clapping hands, buffs were applied to two raging bears, a running wolf, a hidden cat, and a ghost crow.
With his full set of equipment and a spiritual power of 55, Mu Zhong easily applied an average of three buffs to these summoned creatures, and still had plenty of spiritual power left over.
At the same time, his powerful spiritual energy also extended the duration of his buff to an astonishing 165 minutes!
With just a little more improvement, he can reach the maximum time of a Soul Dancer, three hours!
At that time, he could begin Sequence 3 [Shaman] training.
Once he passes the training and takes the three-star potion to advance smoothly, he can unlock the "Bloodlust" skill, which enhances his attributes tenfold!
Only then can the true value of a dancer be revealed!
Mu Zhong watched as the undead squad, buffed by him, charged in and out of the monster horde, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
The beasts of Earth are no match for the strength of the alien natives, let alone these enhanced undead, who can easily devour even without flesh.
Scratch the blue planet beast to death.
Before the real undead army arrived, half of the wild beasts had already fallen on the battlefield.
The wolf was the only native, but even its brother, the bear, met a tragic end when it appeared. How much more so for the wolf, which was all alone and unable to survive.
With a howl, it was struck by the skeletal remains of the bear, its neck snapped with a single blow.
What was thought to be a major battle is now coming to an end.
Suddenly, there was some noise beside the car.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, one at the front and the other at the back of the car, peered out of the vehicle.
Then they saw a hidden cat, a size larger than the Blue Star Leopard, which had somehow crept up to their vicinity and attacked the vehicle.
No wonder he's known as the infamous back-row killer!
Unfortunately, Wei Huan had left half of his fighting force outside the vehicle.
Even without leaving any undead guards, the attack accessories on the outside of the vehicle alone would be enough to leave this hidden cat with nowhere to attack, and might even cause it to bleed to the ground.
Mu Zhong said, "So the monster in the second silver treasure chest is here."
As soon as the words were spoken, the hidden cat was engulfed by the wave of white bones, leaving only its mournful cries of "Meow! Meow!"
Gradually, even that sound disappeared.
Mu Zhong sighed, "This is so unchallenging..."
Wei Huan said, "They've gone mad."
Mu Zhong said, "Hey, you can't?"
"Hmm." Wei Huan chuckled. "Okay."
When night fell completely, the monster horde had not been completely wiped out, but darkness did not affect Wei Huan's combat power.
Not long after, the last monster also collapsed.
Outside the car, which had returned to calm, Wei Huan slowed down and continued driving, reverting to the "conservative mode" of the previous day, waiting for dinner.
Mu Zhong washed the blood off his ears with water, then took out fresh vegetables he had just picked from the "microscopic world" and washed them.
At the same time, he said to the screen in front of the kitchen counter, "Do I have to work overtime tonight?"
"No, thank you," Wei Huan's voice came from the screen. "I'm going to level up to level two."
"So fast?" Mu Zhong was pleasantly surprised, then looked at the data on the screen and said, "I thought the upgrade of the bio-alloy would be faster."
Upon hearing this, Wei Huan's gaze also fell upon the upgrade progress bar of [Bio-Alloy].
When I was using a level 1 basic RV, the progress bar increased very slowly, only 3 points per day. It took 7 days to upgrade to 21 points.
But yesterday they upgraded their RV to level 2, and the loading speed of [Bio-Alloy] increased dramatically, like a rocket launch.
A day and a night passed, and it increased by 32 points.
In theory, the loading process should be completed in about a day and a half.
Unfortunately, Wei Huan couldn't wait any longer.
To win the gold medal in the [Gold Medal Challenge], he must race against time and finish the competition as quickly as possible.
He is indeed far ahead right now, but who knows if the challengers behind him will find an even more effective method.
He must maintain his advantage and capture as many high-level treasure chests as possible along this road.
Leave the challenge, come back, and the car is still here.
But if you miss this track, you won't be eligible to come back and win an award.
Wei Huan had his own plans, so he asked, "Mu Zhong, are there many people with naturally awakened professions now?"
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "You want to ask about the conditions for natural awakening upgrades and the track rules, right? Currently, there are no more than 30 people in Great Xia who have achieved natural awakening. There are 3 in this round, and I am the only one in our A-level competition."
"Hmm." Wei Huan gestured for him to continue.
"The probability of awakening dual classes is relatively low. The first one was Captain William Fang, who was both a Holy Knight and a Prayer, making him a Holy Knight who could both tank and deal damage, and he was very powerful. Four years have passed since then, and no more than 10 people in the Great Xia have awakened dual classes."
Will opening high-level treasure chests increase the chance of awakening dual classes?
"Yes, it's said to be even higher."
Wei Huan thought for a moment, then asked, "How do you level up a naturally awakened profession?"
"Similarly, you need to drink an advanced potion."
"The Soul Dancer is Sequence 2?"
"Natural awakening is like opening a treasure chest. There are also star levels. I don't know what star level I am. I just leveled up on my own. But there are also cases where I get stuck at level 1 after natural awakening and can only level up when I enter a challenge and get a potion."
Wei Huan stopped asking questions and slowly digested this new knowledge.
He was reborn and knew some of this information, but not all of it.
I wasn't really close to Mu Zhong before, so there were some things I didn't feel comfortable asking. Now I can finally start a casual chat.
Mu Zhong didn't hide anything from Wei Huan, and continued talking even though Wei Huan didn't ask.
Wei Huan focused on driving most of the time and didn't speak, but he heard every word and would respond at crucial moments.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Then Mu Zhong's smiling voice rang out: "Dinner's ready!"
Wei Huan stopped the car, got up from the driver's seat, walked into the restaurant, and smelled the aroma of the food.
Mu Zhong beckoned to him and said, "Eat quickly, then go to the Temple of Professions to level up by 2."
It wasn't a lavish dinner, but because it was made with fresh ingredients, it became a rare treat in this world of challenges.
I enjoyed my dinner very much.
Mu Zhong continued, "...It's hard to say whether the rules of the Highway Challenge will take into account the strength of Natural Awakeners, but it has nothing to do with me. My joining you is equivalent to forfeiting to save my life."
However, I should be the only one who reached Sequence 2 before even entering the challenge.
Wei Huan looked up at Mu Zhong.
Mu Chongxiao: "Before I was injured, I was only Sequence 1, but this serious illness made me break through to Sequence 2 in a daze."
I haven't told anyone about this; you're the only one who knows.
Wei Huan swallowed the last bite of rice in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and looked deeply into Mu Zhong's eyes: "I'm very happy. I need you very much, very much."
Mu Zhong paused for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Alright, alright, put down the dishes and I'll wash them. You go and train."
"Um."
Wei Huan went to the master bedroom, where the electric luxury bed was set to automatic. After he lay down, the massage rollers rolled all over his body, helping him relax from the fatigue of a day of focused driving.
Wei Huan's consciousness had already entered the Temple of Professions.
Just yesterday, he walked out of the dark side of the tomb.
Compare the length of the shady side with your own level of mastery at this stage.
Wei Huan basically determined that he was not far from leveling up.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night.
Of course, it would be even better if he could level up tonight, then he would be absolutely certain of success on the combat power ranking.
Tomorrow is fine too. If he leaves the challenge tomorrow, he can go home and still enter the Temple of Professions. The six-star awakening potion will allow him to directly advance to Sequence 6 without needing to collect advancement potions.
Wei Huan rode wildly on the back of the wolf, searching for the end of Sequence 1.
Time passed by, second by second.
At five times the speed of the flow, Wei Huan has been in the Temple of Professions for more than 20 hours.
Finally, a strange feeling appeared.
Wei Huan stopped Benlang and landed happily.
He gazed at the massive tomb before him, which stretched as far as the eye could see, and finally took his first step toward it.
The familiar repulsive force emanated from the great tomb's protective barrier that had once prevented him from stepping into it.
However, when Wei Huan released the Netherworld Power connected to the Great Tomb, the repulsive force began to gradually decrease.
He resisted the repulsive force with all his might.
finally.
After a brief standoff, his feet landed on the dark earth of the great tomb.
The dense, tangible power of the underworld snaked up his legs and coiled around him.
They swarmed in, penetrating every pore of his body, seeping into his skin, lungs, and marrow.
In this process, he is becoming stronger.
It felt like I had suddenly gained 100 points of Dark Power; the sense of power was very obvious.
But the biggest change came from his body, which had been altered after being entangled by the Netherworld, and was completely released from the restrictions of the Great Tomb.
His body suddenly felt light, and his entire body was completely inside the tomb.
Then, a clear understanding emerged.
He has advanced to Sequence 2 and become a [Grave Ranger].
During the tomb tour, he needed to understand the lives of all the dead in the large tomb, as well as find the burial chambers at the bottom of the tomb.
Once he has completed these steps, he can advance to Sequence 3, [Gravekeeper].
Wei Huan looked up at the enormous tomb before him, knowing that exploring the entire tomb would not be easy.
But he was full of energy.
Every path leaves footprints; as long as you keep moving forward, you'll eventually be able to explore the entire tomb!
As Wei Huan entered, the surrounding spirits excitedly collided with the bones, making a "crackling" sound.
The sounds were dense and piercing, and the sheer number of them was immense, as if the whole world was welcoming Wei Huan's arrival.
After Wei Huan advanced, he gained more Netherworld Power.
But this time Wei Huan wasn't in a hurry to form a contract. He touched the nearest wolf skeleton and recognized the "Anal-Cleaning Guy".
Pat its skull to show approval.
His undead protected him, and wild undead could not penetrate the heavy defenses.
He sat on the back of "Anal Grinding Guy": "Let's go."
The anus-cleaning guy threw his head back and roared, banging his teeth together: "Crack! Crack!"
Led by the army of the undead, they began their first patrol of the mountain with great momentum.
He had his own plan, from
The lowest point is reached by spiraling upwards to patrol the mountain.
This approach might be a bit too rigid, but it eliminates the possibility of unexpected problems and avoids creating gaps that are impossible to find.
Having served as a [real soldier], Wei Huan knew very well that there were no shortcuts to training in the Temple of Professions; one had to complete each stage of training diligently.
That is why the combat skills of [True Soldiers] are engraved in Wei Huan's soul, and he will not forget them even if he is reborn.
...
After leaving the Temple of Professions, Mu Zhong was still awake.
Hearing Wei Huan start driving, he went to the driver's seat and looked him up and down.
Wei Huan smiled and said, "You've advanced to level 2."
"No wonder!" Mu Zhong looked Wei Huan up and down and said, "I knew something was different. It turns out the underworld aura was stronger."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhong patted Wei Huan on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, you're just as handsome."
Wei Huan pushed up his glasses and looked at him.
Mu Zhong tried to salvage the situation: "A real man doesn't care about looks. Okay, I'm going to sleep. Tonight's going to be a bit turbulent, be careful."
Listening to the sounds behind him until they disappeared, Wei Huan curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
His gaze fell on the thick black fog outside the window, and then his eyes turned cold.
5% remaining, we've reached the finish line.
The world doesn't easily let challengers complete their tasks.
In the next stage, more monsters will spawn and attack the challengers.
But what does that have to do with him?
Not even afraid of being chased by more than 300 bears, Wei Huan doesn't think there's a more outrageous challenge on this stage.
In fact, he has already won this challenge!
Wei Huan did not sleep that night.
Where would he get so much sleep? The finish line was so close, and once he left the challenge world, he could sleep until he passed out.
Wei Huan drove all night.
Outside the vehicle, the roars and howls of monsters could be heard from time to time.
Countless bodies and blood were left behind along the way.
Until dawn!
[Holy crap! The pro was up all night again?! I woke up and it's already 98% done?!]
[We're definitely not participating in a challenge.]
[Leave your contact information before you leave, sir! I'm a legendary player, and I'd like to join your group. I'm willing to pay, or even just take your person!]
[Dream on! Look at me, big shot! I'm a beauty! A master's degree holder! A three-star violent strategist! Having me along is both pleasing to the eye and useful!]
[Waaaaah~ How am I supposed to get through this without any powerful players? How much longer will I have to live in fear in the challenge world? It's so hard!]
As dawn broke, Wei Huan decided to take a rest and then saw the messages in the chat room.
The challenge has entered its ninth day, and the number of people in the chat room is 623br1000.
In other words, 377 people have died in a short period of time. This is better than the previous life when only 400 people remained. Even in the entire Challenge World, it is a good result.
However, it is, after all, a living, breathing life.
Each of them has parents and relatives who love them and are waiting for them to come home; they all have ideals, aspirations, and an endless future.
But it will remain here forever...
Wei Huan pulled himself out of that deep, intense...
Looking inward, pulling it out, letting go before sadness descends.
General Dong Chujian once said, "Keep moving forward and don't look back."
He wanted to keep moving forward, all the way to the front, and together with his comrades, his brothers, and General Dong, break down the door called "Despair".
Smash it!
Step over it!
Stepping into a new future!
Licking his chapped lips, Wei Huan accepted the milk and sandwich Mu Zhong offered and ate them quickly.
The final journey has begun.
Mu Zhong also fastened his seatbelt and sat in the passenger seat.
With a serious expression, he organized the warehouse, calculating the remaining values that could be improved, while also taking time to manage the micro-world, seizing the last opportunity to ensure the overall ranking was flawless.
The wandering monsters that spawned earlier were no match for Wei Huan.
Even a huge elephant, if hit head-on by a Class 2 vehicle, will only fly away in a parabolic arc.
The closer they got to the finish line, the denser the monsters became, appearing directly on the road to intercept vehicles and prevent them from reaching the finish line.
At that moment, Mu Zhong suddenly pointed to a place in the distance where the Great Xia flag was flying and asked, "Wei Huan, is that the end?"
"Yes." Wei Huan was certain.
But before they could finish speaking, everything went dark.
From the distorted space emerged a ferocious bear with a distinctly different aura.
They descended onto the highway, blocking their path.
finally!
The final boss has appeared!!
A giant bear stood upright, its six claws raised high, sharp claws extended. It was four meters tall, almost as tall as a large truck.
Unlike other bears, it has thicker fur, longer nails, and its black bean-like eyes gleam with intelligence.
"Roar!"
It roared, spitting as it watched the challenger speeding towards it with a cruel and mocking gaze. The challenger's exterior hadn't been upgraded and still resembled a dilapidated van.
Being chosen as the final boss, it's no ordinary bear!
it!
He is an elite lord who has completed a round of lord challenges!
