Wei Huan ordered his butler to drive the vehicle past the Jacques convoy at full speed.
He had a lot on his plate and was too lazy to stop and argue with these people. Besides, these kinds of things would take a day or two to finish anyway, and killing the dark beast and completing the assessment was the most important thing right now.
Mu Zhong didn't say anything, so Wei Huan was unaware of the immense pressure his order had put on Jacques and his Allied team.
Jacques in front of the camera only revealed his bottom line in advance and let slip his secret in his words. If Wei Huan's car had been connected to other alliance cars at that time, he would have found that the generals sent by those countries to make things difficult for him had pale and trembling faces when they actually faced him. The female prophet from South Korea even covered her head and screamed.
Wei Huan paid no attention to the ugly behavior of these people; he was more concerned about the platinum resources that had fallen from the ruins.
Since no one was able to exchange the strength potion for it, Wei Huan took it.
Jacques's appearance also reminded Wei Huan that there are many capable people who challenge the world, and a bullet hiding in a corner could strike him between the eyebrows at any time.
We must persist in pursuing our own strength.
The platinum smart earrings undoubtedly belonged to Mu Zhong. He had always worn silver-level earrings, and the ear piercings were the ones he had personally made himself when facing the attack of dark beasts on the road during the initial assessment, with blood still staining them as he put them on.
The style of those earrings was more suited to a woman; the emerald green color was very striking. However, when Mu Chong wore them, his upright and clean-cut demeanor prevented them from appearing feminine at all.
Now, it's finally time to take off these earrings and replace them with something better.
The reason Mu Zhong chose these earrings was because they were also drop earrings, and for him, who was already used to using drop earrings to cast blessings, this was the best alternative so far.
The exquisite and beautiful earrings are as pure a blue as the ocean, with teardrop shapes hanging down on both sides of the cheeks. The platinum filigree craftsmanship is very delicate, and there are tiny air bubbles floating inside the blue earrings, shimmering with dazzling brilliance as Mu Zhong moves.
On the left ear cartilage, there was a platinum clip-on earring, with a clean and neat design.
Wei Huan's gaze fell on the earrings.
One piece of equipment increased my spiritual power by more than 400 points, and there was also an attribute that increased my spiritual power recovery speed by keeping calm.
Another feature that every Platinum item comes with is: "Gift from the Stars".
Besides providing a large amount of spiritual power, the best thing about this equipment is that it increases the speed of mental recovery.
The faster one's mental energy recovers, the more energetic one becomes. For Mu Zhong, who has two professions, his biggest headache is not how to increase his spiritual power, but how to improve both professions simultaneously.
The shaman is important to the caravan, while the driver is important to all of humanity; it's a difficult choice.
Dou Lin didn't get on the train before. Considering the difficulty of the Level 4 world, Mu Zhong focused his training on the dancer sequence. Now he can only continue to persevere. He can't just do whatever comes to mind and end up pleasing neither side.
The platinum earrings were immediately exchanged for by Mu Zhongyou using DKP, so no one else needed to even think about them. Then, his gaze fell downwards.
The Platinum Agility Mask was a good thing, and everyone's eyes were on Xu Qingqiang's face, but they quickly realized that it was probably unrealistic for Xu Qingqiang to want this and that.
Xu Qingqiang knew that there were several other pieces of equipment waiting in line for him to "favor," and he was powerless to get his hands on the Platinum Agility Mask.
However, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly questioned Wei Huan: "Did you give my buffet to that Sam as a hostage?"
It took Wei Huan a full ten seconds to fully understand the sentence.
"Buffet" and "proton" both refer to that magic flute, right?
Wei Huan was amused by this remark: "I thought you ate at a buffet every day."
"I was just saying, but that thing is kind of interesting, so we should take it back."
"What's the meaning?"
"That group of people used that thing to summon the white rhinoceros. Wouldn't it be awesome if hunters used this?"
Ding Qi was still working hard for the Platinum Bow when she heard this and asked, "Brother Qiang, is that thing for hunters? But I remember it's only for the Dark class?"
Xu Qingqiang said, "If we really want to use it, it's simple, we'll just become a Fallen Dark Elf."
"???"
Xu Qingqiang saw that Ding Qi really didn't understand, and the others also looked ignorant, only Wei Huan seemed to be thinking.
He lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Back then, when we went back to the ruins, we ran into the Zhan Clan group subduing that white rhinoceros. Among them was a hunter with dark skin, holding this magic flute in his hand."
Ding Qi blinked: "Are you talking about the African region?"
Xu Qingqiang rolled his eyes: "I'm not stupid. That's a secondary highway. Where would foreigners come from? And do you think I can't tell if they're African or not?"
Ding Qi listened to the explanation, then laughed as she thought about it: "I was just overthinking it. What are those Dark Fallen Elves? I know elves are good at archery, but elves are a race, right? Can you change your race?"
Xu Qingqiang said, "I don't know either, it seems that spirit witches have this ability."
[The Sleepless] → [The Soul Soother] → [The Spirit Witch] → [The Fallen Spirit Witch] → [The Calamity Spirit Witch] → [The Dark Apostle]...
That's right, this is the advancement sequence of the Night Apostle.
When this sequence is mentioned, Wei Huan's first thought is Agris Fraggling of Osam, the Night Apostle who possesses [Night Wound].
As the profession most deeply involved in dark magic among the three major dark professions in the twelve sequences, Wei Huan was also very secretive about this sequence, and he was even less clear about the extent to which their true abilities could reach.
But spirit witches are also known as sorceresses, a profession from legend, which inherently possesses elements of seduction, disaster, and corruption. He believed that they could corrupt other professions.
Xu Qingqiang was still saying, "Anyway, that's how it is. The Magic Flute has so many limitations, its power won't be lacking. Besides, equipment that can even recruit platinum monsters, how bad can it be?"
Ding Qi nodded, though she was a little reluctant, but quickly came to terms with it. First, she didn't have enough DKP; saving up for a platinum bow was already difficult, and the second piece of equipment seemed even further away. Besides, how could she "fall from grace"? She didn't want to; things were fine as they were.
Wei Huan thought about it for a moment. Jacques was a hunter, and Agris was also an Osamite. But he quickly confirmed that Jacques, as a genius of Osam, had been a leader on the Osam front in his previous life, persisting to the very end and deeply respected and loved by Osamites and the humans of Earth.
After they finished talking, the butler reminded them, "Commander, we only need a small amount of materials to upgrade to Level 6 protective shield. Would you like to upgrade?"
Wei Huan hadn't expected to upgrade to level 6 components so quickly, but there was no reason to hesitate. He nodded and said, "Upgrade."
Subsequently, Wei Huan's car lost 40,000 points, and the protective shield was upgraded to level 6.
That's too fast.
In fact, the further along the way, the faster Wei Huan will catch up with the main group, and he may even be far ahead.
He opened too many high-level treasure chests, which contained many blueprints and core materials of level six or higher. The moment of his breakthrough is coming.
Upgrading to level six components would take a day, but Wei Huan wasn't in a hurry. The chariot sped back, stopping for about ten minutes at each of the two marked Dark Beast territories before pushing them away and continuing onward.
Finally, before dawn, they returned to the army.
The legion, who had been tense all night, relaxed. Although it was just a car and a few people leaving, it felt like they had taken away everyone's backbone, and their souls felt light and adrift.
Now that the leader's car has returned, they have the stone to pacify the sea.
Two escort vehicles, which were assigned to serve as the temporary leader's vehicle, were parked in the war platform's parking spaces.
The first thing Li Xue did after getting out of the car was to look at the main vehicle's storage compartment, and then she exclaimed, "Wow!" "Was that a platinum treasure chest last night?"
Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly went to check the main vehicle warehouse.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure it's just that there's more platinum equipment."
"With an additional platinum-level agility mask, gamblers and hunters are in luck."
"Lieutenant Xu doesn't want it? He definitely has the most DKP."
"I heard Lieutenant Xu has his eye on a pair of agile trousers and is about to get one."
"So that means we can try to get our hands on this platinum gear?"
"That's right! It has to be Major Wei's car. What kind of incredible strength is that? He goes out in one car all night, and he can easily take down even a Platinum Monster."
"Keep it up, everyone. With Boss Wei leading the way, we'll become even stronger in the future."
Some observant people noticed immediately that the treasured platinum magic flute was missing and pointed it out.
But most people didn't think it was anything important, and they moved on after a few words.
The main point of the discussion was just one thing: "This vehicle's warehouse is so beautiful, even more upscale than the Legion's. You can't get there without working hard and giving it your all."
I don't know who came up with the DKP system, but it really solved the equipment distribution problem very well.
A fair system gives everyone a chance, which in turn motivates them. Most importantly, this kind of thing doesn't need to be bothered with Wei Huan; he only needs to bring the equipment back, and everyone will naturally follow the established rules.
As the army marched forward, the Dark Beast Lords' territories expanded, but none of them posed any threat to Wei Huan's convoy. They pushed through territories one after another, and before they knew it, it was the eighth day of their challenge to the world.
Generally speaking, if you travel for another day on the eighth day, you can arrive around the second day.
With the 80th line, Wei Huan's leadership duties were complete.
The remaining 20% is when he will climb the leaderboard for himself.
The Dark Beast Lord's territory will definitely block the way to pass the level. As long as the Dark Beast Lord is defeated, they can complete the test.
In previous years, the assessment roads at this level were incredibly tough, with challengers from all over the world gathering together for the first time to compete against each other. It was not uncommon for them to fight each other to win rankings.
Everyone predicted that this highway assessment would be a chaotic battle.
Wei Huan's high-profile announcement of the assessment date raises questions about how many countries and organizations will be interested in him.
Some speculate that Wei Huan will be targeted by the alliance of racing teams and may die here.
The reason why the Great Xia sent two thousand convoys to protect Wei Huan's safety is precisely this.
But what is the reality?
Today is the eighth day, and the world of highway testing can be described as calm and peaceful.
Many people noticed that at first, challengers from all over the world would argue and curse, but later the hostility in the chat room disappeared without anyone noticing, and the challengers from all countries became more peaceful than ever before.
When did this situation begin?
It was roughly the case that Wei Huan led his convoy in a straight line, and none of the Dark Beast territories that appeared on the road could stop them for more than 20 minutes.
Sometimes, Wei Huan would even drive a single vehicle to the route of the foreign country seeking help, and just as easily wipe out the Dark Beast territory.
Once or twice, some people might feel resentful and speak rudely, saying a few sarcastic things.
After the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth times, the sarcastic tone disappeared. The difference was simply too great; Wei Huan's strength was practically common knowledge. If he continued with the sarcastic tone, he would feel embarrassed.
Just a couple of days ago, there were messages in the chat room saying that Wei Huan killed Sang Shuguo's generals this year, killing several hundred people.
But the topic faded away without making a ripple.
Many people said: "Who is Boss Wei? He is a great hero who has made great contributions to mankind. Putting aside whether he killed the general of Mulberry Tree Kingdom, even if he did, I can tell with my own eyes that it was definitely the leader of Mulberry Tree Kingdom who was in the wrong."
Yes, that's how biased it is, that's how unreasonable and unfair it is.
But that's the impression Wei Huan gives people!
Powerful, benevolent, and fair.
The general of Sangshu Kingdom deserved to die, as did those people of Sangshu Kingdom who were killed by Wei Huan. They were accomplices to evil and deserved to die.
This prevailing sentiment greatly disappointed the remnants of Shi Heng's family.
After Shi Hengchuanjing died, they knew the Shi Heng family was finished. Of course, there were still second-generation members in the Shi Heng family, but even if someone were still alive, it wouldn't matter. Shi Hengchuanjing took away all the remaining strength and resources of the family; this desperate attack on Wei Huan had directly drained the Shi Heng family of its lifeblood.
From now on, it will be very difficult for them to stand up.
Feeling sad and wronged, the remnants of the Shi Heng family exposed this matter not to denounce Wei Huan, as they dared not provoke him anymore. They simply hoped to evoke some guilt and sympathy from Wei Huan, so that he would give them a little something to compensate for their losses and make their future lives less difficult.
But the tide had turned, and before they could do anything more, Jacques' warning came.
He sent a message warning them not to provoke Wei Huan again, and stated that if it happened again, he would not protect the Shi family.
Thus, it wasn't a big deal to begin with, and Shi Hengchuanjing's death was even more quiet and uneventful, and the matter was simply turned over.

It was a powerful and influential force in the Mulberry Kingdom, yet it ended up in such a state.
Not only can one die a gruesome death, but one cannot even be discussed or live in the minds of others.
A leader who can't even assess the situation is better off dead.
The journey was peaceful. Around noon, Jacques contacted us with another set of coordinates, saying, "This is the last high-level ruin that Kim Sang-won divined, and he asked me to deliver it to you immediately."
Seeing this obvious act of weakness and goodwill, Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan, "Are you going?"
"Go," Wei Huan replied.
Mu Zhong said, "At this point, aren't you afraid they'll pull some tricks again?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "I have already figured out their strength. Even if they try to pull a fast one, they won't be a match for me."
Therefore, there's no need for underhanded tactics. Both sides know there's a huge gap in strength, and if they continue to be relentless, Shi Hengchuanjing will serve as a cautionary tale for them.
Who wants to die when they can live?
Besides, Jacques is right. Rather than taking a huge risk and continuing to fight with Wei Huan, it would be better to cooperate with him to find a way to unlock the abandoned phone. The real benefits are right in front of us. Isn't that better than Shi Hengchuan and Jing Jing getting a handful of dirt?
However, talk is cheap. That night, Wei Huan still used Xu Qingqiang and Dou Lin's abilities to divine the fortune of his trip.
When they heard "great victory" and "tasteless," everyone could clearly see the regret on Wei Huan's face.
No, you know that look on your face like you're trying to cause trouble.
Mu Zhong laughed and said, "It seems it's not a diamond, but even if it's just a gold treasure chest, it's still worth the trip."
Wei Huan nodded.
The day's march had just ended, and the convoy was resting in the heavy snow when Wei Huan's vehicle departed.
However, if he hadn't made this trip first, Wei Huan would never have imagined that the situation would be so bad.
A large number of Dark Beast Lords are stationed in the latter half of the assessment road, a density that is more concentrated than the territories encountered in random challenges.
A rough estimate suggests that at least 20,000 to 30,000 Dark Beast Lords have entered, along with a considerable number of level 4 high-level territories.
Therefore, it's almost certain that the final boss is a level 5 royal.
Only royalty could command so many dark beasts, including an eight-star royal beast named Jisi, who sacrificed his life to test Wei Huan's abilities.
Wei Huan went along the way, originally intending to try the previous method: first go around to open the treasure chest, and then kill the enemy on the way back.
Then they discovered that they couldn't find a place to stand on the road ahead.
The Dark Beast territories stretched out one after another, almost forming a continuous expanse.
After some discussion, they decided that the ruins could be explored when they had time, but the Dark Beast territory had to be destroyed.
The dark beasts that could be sent to intercept and kill Wei Huan were not bad; they were all similar to the level of the Blue Star Special Forces.
Normally, these dark beasts hide away, serving as the main fighting force on the battlefield, or they sneak in and out to ambush human challengers participating in the assessment, making them very difficult to capture.
Now things are fine, give...
With the whole pot of people right in front of us, it would be a waste of our trip not to kill a few.
Xu Qingqiang rubbed his platinum claw gloves and said, "I'm going to earn DKP."
The others also appeared to be in high spirits.
However, Mu Zhong reminded, "We are not far from the convoy. We need to notify the other crew members before we can proceed. Everyone wants to go to the front line, so we need to make proper arrangements."
Staying behind to perform missions and going out to develop the ruins both yield the same DKP. The only difference is when attacking the Dark Beast territory. Humans and Dark Beasts have a deep-seated blood feud, so there will be an extra DKP reward.
The new crew members were eager to prove themselves, and Wei Huan always took the veteran team members outside, which was indeed not conducive to unity.
Mu Zhong's reminder was correct, so Wei Huan nodded: "You make the arrangements, we'll kill all night tonight."
Mu Chong smiled and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing that there were dark beasts to kill, the people who remained behind roared excitedly and ran off with their pants up.
Those left on duty were so envious they were practically tearing their handkerchiefs to shreds. But thankfully, Major Mu said that they would work through the night, with one team consisting of Captain Xue, another of Mu Zirui, and a third of the veteran drivers, taking turns going to the front lines and then returning to the rear to stand guard.
This arrangement is for the sake of fairness, and also because there are people in the convoy, so that if any accident occurs, Wei Huan can get back faster.
As for Wei Huan, Mu Zhong, Xu Qingqiang, and Dou Lin, they always stayed at the front.
The two attribute bonuses are crucial. Xu Qingqiang is the strongest fighter on the vehicle. Although he also needs to use DKP to get equipment, providing him with more opportunities to fight and get better equipment faster is of great benefit to the team.
This battle was very satisfying.
It reminds me of the time I fought my way through the Dark Beast Trial in the random challenge. It was the same thing – just keep killing and smearing the earth with the Dark Beasts' blood. It was so satisfying!
Especially the two squads that had just joined Wei Huan's caravan, they discovered for the first time how enjoyable it was to fight the Dark Beast Lord. The undead provided a great sense of security, able to block bullets for them and finish them off. The undead were absolutely reliable in both advancing and retreating, just like having powerful teammates around them, allowing them to attack recklessly.
What surprised Xue the most was the Kobolds' teleportation technology.
At that time, he had just led his team to the battlefield. Wei Huan did not wait for them; the undead army was already attacking the territory's city walls.
In the darkness, the situation ahead was unclear. Only towering city walls, cannonballs, and flashes of light from magic illuminated the darkness. The imposing behemoths bombarded the ground in the intermittent light and shadow, stirring up the world as if the end of the world had arrived.
Such a battlefield is a nightmare for melee classes.
No matter how strong a combat force is, once caught up in the meat grinder of the front lines of war, a stray bullet could easily take the life of an advanced melee fighter.
Therefore, melee classes can usually only drive to the front lines; if the vehicle is destroyed, the person dies, making it difficult to make full use of their class's advantages.
But now that they've arrived, Wei Huan immediately ordered a close-combat special forces team to work with Xu Qingqiang to carry out targeted eliminations within the city.
Tactics were provided, and tactical command headsets were also issued. Fully armed, Captain Xue was leaving his armored vehicle for the first time to carry out a mission, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
He saw Mu Zhong smile at him, raising his hand and tapping his azure earring with his fingers. With each "thump-thump" sound, his strength and endurance were greatly enhanced.
Immediately afterwards, the child in the car was seen holding a scale, moving the stars, and shouting, "Great victory!" His already high attributes doubled again.
With the added bonus of titles that every member of Wei Huan's car received, he felt so powerful that he was becoming a superman.
Then, five small dog-headed people, each the size of a palm, appeared in front of them, hooking their arms together, squinting and smiling, their lined up in a very funny way.
Mu Zhong asked one last question: "Are you ready?"
Team Leader Xue replied, "Ready!"
He was prepared to take a huge risk and launch a frontal attack, cooperating with the undead army to break through the city walls, and then enter the city to eliminate key buildings. He was determined to complete the mission.
But who knew that as soon as he finished answering, he saw the little dog-headed men open their mouths, and those mouths suddenly became infinitely large, as if they contained the entire world.
A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and before he could regain his footing, he heard a "tui!" and was spat out.
I looked around in a daze.
This is actually inside the walls of the Dark Beast Territory?!
The fighting outside the city remained fierce, yet he had already penetrated deep into enemy territory?!
Wei Huan's voice came through the tactical headset: "You have successfully entered the designated drop zone. Follow the tactics and kill."
Kill them.
Looking at the "Hero's Temple" not far ahead, which was completely defenseless, Captain Xue suddenly became excited.
Yes, kill them!
"Kill them! Hahahaha!!"
