Wei Huan glanced at the top of the screen, and sure enough, a gold medal appeared.
The name on the gold medal was unfamiliar; it wasn't Qi Jialu.
This is normal, though, as the main lead vehicle is in the middle of the convoy, and those ranked higher now are definitely some lead vehicles and reconnaissance vehicles.
"There are also those who sneaked away," Mu Zhong said after seeing this.
Wei Huan nodded, "They can't escape."
"Yes, no matter how fast he runs, he will be stopped by the dark beasts at the end of the level, and he might just run into them. This kind of person has no bottom line and acts selfishly. I guess Sister Lu is too lazy to remind him."
"Hmm," Wei Huan responded, of course he wouldn't offer any further advice.
The "80-line" is also known as the "bottom line," which is the progress promised by the authorities.
Challengers who reach the "80th line" will be teleported back to Earth on the night of the 11th day of the challenge world, thus completing the assessment for this stage.
But truly capable racing teams certainly have more goals than just this.
Five major lists:
There are five golden treasure chests in total: [Points Ranking], [Combat Power Ranking], [Vehicle Performance Ranking], [Life Ranking], and a [Champion Ranking].
Even if you don't win the championship, as long as you complete 100% of the stages, you will still receive other basic rewards.
For example, there are silver treasure chests for the top ten, black iron treasure chests for the top one hundred, and bronze treasure chests that everyone can get.
Moreover, a 100% completion rate will be an impressive resume, making you an invaluable asset when you join various factions on the third-tier highway.
Wei Huan and Qi Jialu couldn't stop at Line 80, but they still needed to make arrangements for the fleet first.
Therefore, when those self-righteous people who actually know nothing and sneak ahead appear, they are utterly despicable.
Without a grateful heart, one is destined to be abandoned by the collective.
Let them move forward for now.
However, Mu Zhong was still petty and silently memorized the names of the dozens of people who ran ahead.
These people were able to appear on the screen so quickly and in such a consistent manner because they hitched a ride with Qi Jialu.
After looking at the names over and over, Mu Zhong said, "It's dark and the road is long, so let's be careful."
Wei Huan was amused by Mu Zhong's rare taunts and turned to look at him.
Mu Zhong said dismissively, "I may look kind on the surface, but I curse people horribly inside. Don't mistake me for an innocent little rabbit."
"Little black rabbit?"
Mu Zhong grimaced, finding the description disgusting, and the way the two of them were talking was also disgusting. "Let's eat, let's eat."
Wei Huan stood up and smiled.
After finishing their meal, everyone went back to their own busy work.
Wei Huan is on duty tonight, so Mu Zhong will take his leave to rest.
Mu Tangge gradually became familiar with his work and his efficiency improved a lot. He got up and left after 9 o'clock, leaving only Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang in the driver's seat.
The two were perfectly in sync when fighting, but had nothing to say to each other when they were together.
Xu Qingqiang only informed Wei Huan when he entered the Temple of Professions.
After Xu Qingqiang finished training, he fell asleep on his chair. Wei Huan then told him and went back into the Temple of Prodigies.
Sleepers are more easily awakened.
Temple of the Professions, etc.
When one is lost in thought, there is no strong stimulation; one's perception of the outside world is completely blank.
The two remained silent throughout the night, and before they knew it, it was early the next morning.
After daybreak, the convoy set off smoothly. After a non-stop journey throughout the morning, at 11:44 a.m., the reconnaissance vehicle of Group B spotted the tail vehicle of Group A.
The two groups have met up!
When the good news arrived, cheers erupted in the chat room.
[We can see Group A! We've reached line 80!!]
[Aaaaaah! Am I really going to pass the test? Oh my god, at first I thought I was going to die here.]
[Anyone else like me? Tears are streaming down my face. It's been so tough. Thank you to the country, thank you to the army, thank you to Commander Wei! Even a useless person like me has the chance to set foot on a third-class highway!!]
[Boss Wei, I love you, I love you, I love you!!!]
Amidst the cheers, Wei Huan received a request from Teng Jiayang to return to the team.
Unlike Xu Qingqiang, who possessed special abilities and returned halfway due to special circumstances, this driver was different.
Teng Jiayang, Teng Xiyang, and Ding Qi were assigned to carry out the right-wing guard duty and were called back only at this moment.
Their car returned to the garage, and they immediately went to report to Wei Huan.
Those trained by the legion possess an extremely standard military bearing, are disciplined and absolutely obedient in their work.
The twins are from Southwest Challenge University and are also Southwest's new recruit mentors, having already spent two years in the Legion.
Ding Qi is a newcomer to Northwest Challenge University, but she is an unexpected member who is not part of the official staff. She was just an ordinary person before entering the Challenge World, until she opened the Black Iron Treasure Chest and luckily obtained the "Three-Star Hunter Potion" and the special ability of "Beast Heart".
This allowed her to reach Sequence 3 without taking any advancement potions, and also gave her the ability to recruit one more beast for each rank.
Ding Qi made a stunning debut, achieving a remarkable third place in the national standings during the second stage of the competition.
According to her, the authorities contacted her and asked her to make a choice.
Alternatively, one could join the Northwest Legion and be trained as a prospective elite tank commander, waiting six months before participating in the Tier 3 highway assessment.
You can either join Wei Huan's team and, if Wei Huan approves, stay as a member of his team, or disembark on the third-tier highway and return to the Northwest Legion to await training to become an elite tank commander. However, going with Wei Huan carries certain risks, which you must bear yourself.
Ding Qi chose the latter.
She could give many reasons, but ultimately she could tell everyone that she didn't regret it.
She can become an elite tank commander by working on her own.
But when she was with Wei Huan, she was a member of the leader's car.
Even though Wei Huan is not officially recognized as a "leader" and he has not even joined any legion.
But everyone could see that his future was limitless.
People strive for higher positions, and Ding Qi dared not say that she had no ulterior motives in standing here, but everything Wei Huan had shown these past few days made her hope to stay in the car and work with him.
She firmly believed that they could reach the other side of their shared ideals and realize that ambition together!
So whether it's twins or Ding Qi.
After getting on the bus, they didn't even have time
After spending time together and exchanging ideas, we went our separate ways to keep busy.
But when he returned, his attitude had completely changed. In his eyes, he looked at Wei Huan with only the purest respect and fervor.
"Reporting, Train Commander! Teng Jiayang reporting!"
"Reporting, Commander! Teng Xiyang reporting!"
"Reporting, Commander! Ding Qi reporting!"
Wei Huan glanced at the three of them, nodded and smiled: "You've worked hard. From now on, you will not remove your armor for rest until 5 p.m. Pay attention to the butler's notifications."
"yes!"
Liu Chengzhi chuckled and greeted him, "Everyone's here, and I've prepared the meal. We can eat anytime!"
The first one to jump up was Xu Qingqiang.
However, after taking two steps, she seemed to remember something and looked at Wei Huan awkwardly.
"Those who aren't working right now, go eat!" said Mu Zhong, then added jokingly, "Brother Qiang, save some good food for us."
"Tsk!" Xu Qingqiang waved his hand, put his hands in his pockets and walked away, followed by his two henchmen Lin Xu and Zhou Yong.
Following behind them were Sun Yiling and Xiao Zhi.
These past two days, they've been noticeably downcast. The assessment is over and they're facing separation. Although there's no harmony on this vehicle, only a tense atmosphere and endless work, it's precisely this that makes them realize the vehicle's unlimited potential.
Unfortunately, they have a special status; they are logistics personnel trained by the state and must report to the logistics unit.
The thought of leaving this car made them feel a bittersweet feeling.
Finally, there are the twins and Ding Qi, who just returned.
They chatted and laughed as they left, suggesting that their relationship had grown quite close during their nine days together.
Now, only Wei Huan, Mu Zhong, and Mu's cousin remain in the driver's cab.
Brother Mu, nicknamed "Old Ox," is busy with heavy tasks and is exceptionally hardworking; he's indispensable in situations like this.
But because of his dedication and hard work, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong can no longer do without him.
Next, they need to communicate with the other leaders' vehicles and also contact Qi Jialu's side.
If you want to conquer the challenges together and achieve 100% success, then join them on their journey now.
But let me preface this by saying that Wei Huan wasn't very confident about passing this challenge, and war is brutal, so people will definitely die.
Who can guarantee that they won't be the ones who die?
Since that's been said, those who are still willing to go together will hitch a ride with Qi Jialu and speed towards the final boss.
The final battle is about to begin.
Both Mu brothers are skilled communicators. Although Wei Huan is not good at it, he is not intimidated when he needs to speak or do something.
The list, confirmed a day in advance, can be changed at any time; Wei Huan doesn't care how many people come or not.
However, Mu Zhong still imposed a minimum requirement: only vehicles of the third tier could participate.
The deadline is 12:30.
Arrive at the designated coordinates within the specified time.
The remaining Tier 2 vehicles and some Tier 3 vehicles that do not want to participate in the challenge will be left at Line 80.
To avoid excessive crowds, from now until tomorrow night, people will disperse in a wide area towards the finish line.
The Legion has brought them there.
Here, not only are there risks they themselves must face, but for some vehicles, this time can also be used to strengthen themselves.
Without a deliberate attack from the Dark Beast Squad, the challenger has a very high chance of surviving the night.
As for the official leader vehicle, it does not participate in the final boss battle.
Since they lack the ability to compete with big names like Wei Huan and Qi Jialu for the rankings, and since both their vehicles and themselves were trained by the legion, they won't take risks in places where they shouldn't.
Once they complete the assessment and enter the third-tier highway, the material rewards they receive are no less than those earned by competing for rankings.
Trying to compete for rankings might come at a cost, making it a losing proposition.
Both of the Mu family's cars followed Wei Huan away.
They were Wei Huan's "guardians," following him wherever he went, whether it was risky or dangerous. Their only mission was to protect Wei Huan's safety.
In addition, there are some elite vehicles driven by highly skilled and daring individuals.
Among them were Chang Le and Huang Jun's cars.
These two vehicles left a very deep impression on Wei Huan during this assessment trip, and Wei Huan accepted their defection.
Once this assessment is over, they will be sent to the Northeast Army Corps for training for a period of time. If Wei Huan is serving in the corps at that time, they will be useful talents under his command, or even generals.
In this way, Wei Huan will have four cars with him, while the remaining B-group leader cars will all be left behind, perhaps to rescue some ordinary challengers that night.
Of course, there are also some elite cars that have the capability and want to achieve something.
Or perhaps the third-tier vehicles, which only wanted to take advantage, also arrived at the designated coordinates one after another within the allotted time.
Wei Huan's car had already met up with Qi Jialu.
That red supercar was incredibly eye-catching, floating in mid-air, breathtakingly beautiful.
Around her feet were more than seventy Tier III vehicles, all with a strong "bounty hunter style".
This style is exactly the same as Xu Qingqiang's car.
Qi Jialu brought her entire team this time to attempt to upgrade to a Class III highway.
She makes no secret of her ambition to make a name for herself on the third-level highway and become a powerful force, revealing the female city lord's true ambition.
As for the ordinary Tier 3 vehicles in Group A that wanted to join, they were gathered together because they were out of step with Sister Lu's faction, and there were as many as two hundred of them.
A level 3 vehicle can accommodate five people, so there are fewer than 1,500 people here. Compared to the 20,000 people that Qi Jialu took with her, it's not a lot.
Clearly, Qi Jialu didn't want to bring too many burdens, so she conducted a basic screening.
It's different from Wei Huan's side.
Qi Jialu sent a video call and said unhappily, "Why bring so many useless people? They only waste my magic power and are of no use on the battlefield."
Wei Huan put it succinctly: "A show of force is also a kind of force. If the other side is waiting for us to come to us, and we go there alone with weak forces, the balance of power will shift, and before the battle even begins, defeat will be inevitable."
Qi Jialu frowned: "Where did all these different interpretations come from?"
Even so, Qi Jialu did not object.
Through this collaboration, Wei Huan earned her respect, and even if she disagreed with Wei Huan's words, she would not directly refute them.
Since Wei Huan said it was necessary
Even if she believed it for now, it wouldn't cause her much loss.
Fifteen minutes later, more cars arrived, but none left.
When the time came, Qi Jialu used time magic to roll up all the cars, including Wei Huan's car, and drove them to the end of the highway.
The challengers who remained in place sent their blessings in the chat room.
[Wishing you a resounding victory!]
[Kill them all!! Boss Wei is the best!! Sister Lu is the best!!]
[Although I lack the ability and can't offer much help, I sincerely wish the big shots a triumphant return!!]
[Go, Wei! Go, Lu! Go, everyone! Let's get this going!!]
Everyone in Wei Huan's car, including himself, was looking out of the car.
Witnessing Qi Jialu's methods firsthand evokes a profound sense of the myriad forms and complexities of the world.
[Time Mage] is a variant of the Five Elements Mage, representing an element other than metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
For example, lightning and spatial magic are also considered variations of spells.
It's not exactly rare; there are hundreds of exceptional [wise men] found worldwide.
In the Time System, there are currently four "wise men" who have reached the "Grand Mage" level worldwide. The Great Xia government also has one, a 40-year-old male wise man who is a member of a leader's vehicle and has a very high reputation.
The Time Mage can control time.
It is said that they can have longer training time in the Temple of Professions. After using time-based magic, they can manipulate time at will, extending or shortening it, making them unpredictable and extremely mysterious in battle.
She is an excellent support mage.
According to Wei Huan, the Time Mage in the late game can directly strip away "Years" during attacks, which is extremely powerful.
Of course, in the later stages, all professions are very strong, and many techniques become ineffective between people of the same level.
Wei Huan was not afraid of any ultimate profession.
He looked out of the car and saw other cars enveloped in white light. Affected by time, all the cars, including his own, were traveling through the same time tunnel as Qi Jialu, and were experiencing the same speed of time.
In fact, not only did many cars travel at speeds far exceeding the limit, they didn't even consume any energy.
There were about 900 cars in total, enjoying the feeling of being carried by Qi Jialu's spiritual power.
It took more than two hours to slow down at a speed of 1200 miles per hour.
Qi Jialu sent a message to Wei Huan, telling her that she needed to rest and that she should be able to come again around 4 p.m.
Wei Huan nodded: "I'll go ahead and clear the way."
Are you alone?
This is also what puzzled Qi Jialu. So far, they haven't discussed the formation, nor have they selected a reconnaissance vehicle or a lead vehicle.
However, Qi Jialu was just asking. A leader who can bring more than 40,000 people to the 80th tier must have his own abilities and should not be underestimated.
Wei Huan nodded: "800 miles is fine."
Wei Huan also held back some things.
If we only consider the forward speed of his ghost crow, it can catch up to 1200 miles per hour, unless it needs to turn back to report, in which case it definitely won't be fast enough.
But he didn't need to expose his bottom line.
Therefore, I conservatively estimated it to be 800 miles per hour.
800 mph was the standard speed for this trip, which can basically reflect whether a car meets the required level.
If they can't even reach 800 miles per hour, those guys who ignore the warnings and try to take advantage of the situation will naturally be left behind.
Wei Huan always takes the initiative and has already given the necessary reminders, so it has nothing to do with him that these people have fallen behind because of their own greed.
The two lead vehicles completed their shift without slowing down in a valley.
Wei Huan reached the very front and moved forward at a speed of 800 miles per hour.
At the same time, a portal appeared on the roof of his car, and the ghost crow transformed into a dark cloud, flew out like lightning, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
[The leader has changed!]
[Wei Huan is ahead!]
[Ah! Boss Wei!]
At this moment, everyone in the driver's cab was present.
There are 12 people, 11 of whom sit on the edge of the rounded section, close to the window, each with their own seat and control system.
Deputy Commander Mu Zhong was at the very front of the driver's cab, while Wei Huan was behind everyone else. Both of them were on the central axis of the vehicle, and could see the scenery outside the vehicle and the screen projected on the windshield with just a glance.
The map is always present in the upper right corner of the screen.
The video feed to other vehicles is in the lower left corner.
The treasure chest fell in the lower right corner.
The chat room is blocked, but it can be viewed on your private system. If there is any special content, the smart assistant will also connect after reporting it.
The top left corner of the screen used to display the number of treasure chest monsters that followed Wei Huan's "plowing" attack. However, it's now forcibly occupied by the "Champion Ranking" gold medal icon, and the names on it have changed several times in the past two hours.
"Another one died." Xu Qingqiang spoke again.
He opened the "Champion List" and saw that the top few hundred were people who were secretly trying to get a head start.
These people may not be weak, but they underestimated the difficulty of the Class III highway. They had been protected and overestimated themselves. Now that they are going out alone, they are facing a real challenge.
In this short period of time, at least 10 names disappeared, and the top spot on the leaderboard changed hands seven or eight times.
Xu Qingqiang was a combatant, so he wasn't needed for traveling. When he had nothing to do, he would watch who lived and who died, looking like he was watching a thrilling TV series.
He not only looked, but also spoke.
Wei Huan thus learned about the changes in the champion rankings.
It's also worth mentioning that Wei Huan has now established his authority in the car, and the other passengers don't dare to joke around with him. Only Xu Qingqiang is not afraid of him.
It's not fair to say that Xu Qingqiang was disorganized or undisciplined; rather, it's more like a strong sense of self-confidence. Because of his high level of self-confidence, he was not afraid of Wei Huan.
Then Xu Qingqiang looked directly at Wei Huan and asked him, "How do you plan to get first place?"
Wei Huan hadn't thought about it yet.
Xu Qingqiang was also at a loss: "Once the territory is destroyed, someone will definitely try to take first place. Some people are just backstabbers. They take the reward and then hide. It's really hard to find them. We need to think of a way to stop those scumbags."
Mu Zhong continued, "The final boss is quite difficult. We're only trying it out this time, and we might not succeed."
Xu Qingqiang said, "With me here..."
"What can't I succeed at? If time weren't so tight, give me another month or two, and I'd reach Sequence Four. These are all trash."
Mu Zhong asked with delight, "The upgrade potion is ready?"
Xu Qingqiang choked up for a moment and remained silent.
Mu Zhong smiled knowingly and said, "It's alright. After you finish the assessment, I'll help you collect materials for Sequence 4. We'll have our first Sequence 4 in the car now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiang pointed his nose at the ceiling again and waved his hand: "No problem, you help me collect them, and I'll help you collect them. When I reach Sequence Four, collecting these things will be a piece of cake."
Mu Zhong smiled but remained silent.
He and Wei Huan are both awakened at five stars and six stars respectively, so they don't need to worry about "advancement potions" in the short term. Wei Huan might even become the first person in all of humanity to advance to Sequence Six.
The new drivers don't know these things yet, but they'll gradually find out.
After chatting for a while, Wei Huan's lead car and reconnaissance car did a very successful job, and the convoy moved forward without any obstacles.
But at the back of the convoy, people began to fall behind one after another.
As expected, there really are people who disregard their own safety and well-being to take advantage of the chaos.
Those who lack self-awareness and only want to take advantage are often the group that Xu Qingqiang describes as the ones who will ultimately "betray" others.
It's better to be eliminated early.
At 800 miles per hour, after driving for another two hours, the atmosphere in the convoy became a little tense.
Those vehicles that had upgraded their intelligent systems were warned by the system, and a number of treasure chest monsters were following behind them.
If Wei Huan opens a treasure chest but doesn't kill the monsters, the monsters' hatred will forever follow him. Even if he's not fast enough, the Challenge World will use its teleportation ability to send them to Wei Huan's car.
Once we stop, it will be a fierce battle.
Who has ever opened a box like this before?
This isn't opening a box, this is playing with fire!
But if it's Boss Wei... well, it's not impossible!
