Chapter 315: Driving My Beloved Bumper Car

【~Rules Introduction~

Legend has it that all kinds of incredible ingredients grow in the fields outside the Chocolate Castle, and magical delicious kitchen utensils are hidden behind the castle.

Use your hands and brain to make vehicles using the plant seeds on site and embark on a journey of exploring delicious food!

Chu Hengkong looked away from the sign: "It looks like they're going to play DIY racing."

Deep in the chocolate grasslands, a frenzy erupted at the starting line painted with syrup. Friends, both adults and children, along with animals, gathered their own random, quick-growing plant seeds and began cultivating them on the spot to assemble their vehicles.

The cartoon map on the notice board clearly outlined the entire route: they had to first grow a "plant off-road vehicle" in the city-state, drive in the free area after leaving the city to collect food, and then pass the interception of the flying pirate ship to reach the destination where the kitchen utensils were hidden.

"This circuit is quite long. It will take almost a whole day to play it." Vander commented, "So, does anyone know how to assemble the plant car?"

Ji Huaisu flipped through the manual. "From the instructions, it seems these quick-growing plants can grow in 30 seconds just by burying them in the ground and watering them... This thing looks incredibly familiar. It's probably just a civilian version of the war plants."

"Military technology is generally 30 years ahead of civilian technology." Qingye took out a shovel and said, "Let me try it first!"

She casually scattered a few seeds into the soil. Ji Huaisu poured some ice water over them, and the soil containing the seeds rose into a mound. Several peas the size of wheels, jingling hardwood bark, and reflective leaves all emerged one after another. These plant "parts" all had obvious joints, clearly custom-made plants designed specifically for the game.

"A plant version of Lego blocks, very interesting." Chu Hengkong started to work.

"I'll help too!" Ji Huaisu was very excited.

The children who arrived earlier had almost finished assembling their vehicles. The design was simple: peas for wheels, wooden planks for the carport, leaves for the windows and rearview mirrors, and a few odds and ends to complete the vehicle. Each group's finished product was largely identical, differing primarily in the vines and floral patterns used for decoration and the number of wheels.

Fander nodded repeatedly: "Don't say that the design of the amusement park is quite good. It's not difficult at all. Even children can install it. You guys can..."

It turned its head and saw Chu Hengkong and Ji Huaisu standing on a magical thing that looked like a broken raft with a ball on top.

"It's done." Chu Hengkong said.

"What the hell is this? What the hell is this car?! This thing looks like a stranded raft with troll snot on it!"

"Fander, your spatial imagination is really too poor." Ji Huaisu shook his head, "Look!"

She flipped the raft upside down and landed it on its pea-shaped side, so that the magical thing looked like a wagon...with no handles, no windows, and only one wheel.

"It's done!" Ji Huaisu said proudly.

"I can't see how it has anything to do with completion. Honestly, do you really intend to run on that poor wheel? It feels like the pea wheel is crying." Qingye ate grass.

"Xiaoye, you don't understand at all. Vehicles like this can be driven smoothly as long as there is a steering wheel!" Ji Huaisu took out a bicycle-shaped handle woven with vines and installed it. "Let's go, Feiyan Fulcrum!"

“They even gave it a name.”

The vine handlebars lit up green, and the Feiyan Fulcrum, powered by the power, surged forward! After 0.1 seconds, it lost balance and flung the two occupants onto the grass! The Pea Wheel broke free from the raft and soared into the sky!

Ji Huaisu stretched out his hand in grief: "No! Feiyan Fulcrum!"

"Why..." Chu Hengkong was lost.

"I also want to ask why. Why do you really believe that this thing can run?" Vander covered his eyes.

"Oh, plant assembly is an art form with a long history. Even if the assembly threshold is lowered to the level of an infant or toddler, it's still not something that laymen can easily accomplish."

At this moment, a male voice with a traditional aristocratic air echoed. Prosecutor Benintic shook his cape and displayed the car behind him. "Look! This is the art of Jingsha!"

Unlike the orc-like creation of the Huilongcheng duo, Benningtik's car was of moderate proportions and elegant shape. The vines used for decoration even had hand-engraved secret reliefs. It was so exquisite that it looked like a work of art from a museum.

The eyes of the children watching were practically shining, and Benintic himself crossed his arms, looking quite proud.

"It's actually quite decent..." Vander exclaimed.

"But where's the steering wheel?" Ji Huaisu noticed something suspicious. "How can you drive this car without a handle?"

This convertible plant car was perfect in every way, except for the vine handlebars that provided power and steering. Benintic pointed casually, "It seems your observation skills aren't even close to a prosecutor's... Here's the steering wheel!"

Everyone went around to the back of the vehicle, but saw a bicycle handlebar stuck on the back of the vehicle like a bicycle logo.

Vander glared. "Not being able to notice this has nothing to do with observation. What kind of thinking would put the handlebars on the back of a bike?!"

Benintic wiped his glasses. "This is... for aesthetic reasons..."

"You're obviously feeling guilty! You simply forgot! You were so proud of yourself that you finally realized there was an important part missing, so you just randomly plugged it in, right?"

Chu Hengkong's focus was on practical matters: "How are you going to drive this car?"

"If you turn your back to the car window and use your arm to control the rear steering wheel..."

"It's a pretty serious safety hazard. If I were a traffic police officer, I would definitely give you a ticket."

Banningtik wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said seriously, "Don't criticize me if you don't even have a car."

"He's starting to change the subject. This guy is so lame."

"The competition will start in one minute. You should think of a solution for yourselves instead of me!"

Sai Silun hurriedly struck a gong, alerting the competitors that the rally was about to begin. Ji Huaisu pondered, "It seems the Feiyan Fulcrum needs further improvement..."

"Your broken car is beyond repair by improvements. Start from scratch and build a new one."

Chu Hengkong offered a groundbreaking insight: "Should we add another wheel?"

"It should at least have three more wheels," Qingye pointed out. "Plus, there's only 30 seconds left. Instead of struggling pointlessly, it would be better to see if there's another car we can use."

"I'll just cut through the steel armor and fly over..."

"Sister Huaisu, we are here to play. Do you realize that you are playing games?"

At this moment, Qingxia in the distance waved happily: "Everyone come quickly~ Our car is ready~~!"

"Done!"

Fander slapped his forehead, thinking he'd been hanging out with idiots for so long. Why hadn't he thought of calling in professionals? He turned confidently and said, "Gulibo, we're all relying on—what have you planted?!"

That thing was suspected to be the accidental product of a large transport truck and a heavy tank after a serious alcoholism. It went to a medieval knight training camp and received a full set of antique modifications. It looks so majestic.

It's nearly four meters wide and six meters tall, its bronzed hardwood armor seamlessly fitting together, creating a visually impenetrable fortress. The front armor forms a dangerous curve, densely covered with wooden spikes, leaving no doubt that anyone who dares approach will be instantly blasted skyward. Scythes and cleavers are mounted on either side of the vehicle, while the rear houses an anti-aircraft turret and machine gun control console. A uniquely large, pure wooden predator claw is also ingeniously mounted on the rear, likely used to snatch away precious food, enemy infantry, or, unbeknownst to some unfortunate individual, their mother.

Gulibo stood on the high turret, raised his nose proudly and said: "Gubo smashed the car and it was done."

Finder was shocked: "Even if you give it a cute name, it can't hide its vicious nature! What the hell is this thing?!"

"These are the traditional farming tools of our Gubo people. They are very large and green. During the busy farming season, we use crushing trucks, rollers, and specially modified roller tankers to harvest the rice."

"Stop talking nonsense, you mean this is a farm tool? This thing is so scary that the Demon King's army would cry!"

The eyes of the children around him were like the Milky Way: "So cool!"

Prosecutor Benintic couldn't help but nod. "I hate to admit it, but...everyone wants to have a car like this when they were little..."

Fander's eyes were lifeless. "I can no longer tell whether it's the Gubo tribe or your Jingsha city-state that's more terrifying."

"By the way, because the soil in Jingsha is rich in nutrients, this child's food tastes better than the ones I grew before."

"Who dares to eat this! I'll be thankful if it doesn't eat me!"

Chu Hengkong patted the outer armor of the "Gubo Smashing Car" and exclaimed in admiration: "What a great car. Who will be the driver?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Qingxia rushed to the driver's seat impatiently.

"You so easily put the most dangerous weapon into the hands of the most dangerous person, you bastard."

Chu Hengkong dragged the out-of-breath Fan De into the side seat of the truck. Ji Huaisu took the gun port, and Qingye occupied the machine gun platform. Gulibo sat in the exclusive passenger seat and said proudly: "Let's go~"

"Let's go and crush the pirate ship into a pancake~~"

Fander almost couldn't breathe: "You don't understand what you are playing at all, you horse!"

"Are you all ready, fellow passengers? We're about to depart!"

The turtle employee, perched atop a small cloud, blew his whistle. A fleet of crooked, twisted plant-based buggies simultaneously took off, charging forward. Even more deafening than the laughter and cheers was the thumping sound of the "Gubo Smashing Cars" starting up. The muzzles swung, the wooden claws extended and retracted, and the massive vehicles, like living creatures, took off, arriving in a flash...

The last one in the team!

"I forgot to mention that smashing cars is a bit slow."

"So it's an armed tractor!!!"
