Chapter 415 God's Game: KartRider 14
Tu Lan hesitated for two seconds. She did want to go back to normal, but she also really wanted to play this game, a real game where she could face severe punishment and death at any time. Moreover, she was having a lot of fun playing with Yu Xunge.
Tulan said, "I want to play this game. Can the recovery process wait until next time?"
Yu Xunge: "Okay"
What she didn't say was that even if they made it to the end, they might not meet Sharleng, because Sharleng was ranked over 500th.
Although the safe zones are randomized, and those entering from the same track may find completely different safe zones, as the game progresses, this god-like game still divides the safe zones according to the players' skill levels.
For example, the most skilled player she sees in this safe zone, MaiMangXieXie, is currently ranked below 5,000th on the leaderboard.
But this crab's combat power is a terrifying Tier 17. It's just that perhaps it's not very good at driving go-karts, because it's only ranked 5,000th in the game so far.
Yu Xunge and Tu Lan drove go-karts to observe the roads and parking spaces nearby, familiarizing themselves with the examination venue in advance.
Soon, the game countdown timer sounded, indicating that there were only 3 seconds left.
With a whoosh, it was gone.
A mechanical voice sounded.
[Question 1: Please parallel park into a parking space of the same color while using nitrous oxide acceleration]
Tu Lan pulled out a stick from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and shouted with a pout, "Hold on tight! Load up the parts and gasoline!"
Yu Xunge shouted, "Didn't you already install it?"
Tu Lan: ? ? ?
No time for being teased! A new storm has arrived. Tulan floored the accelerator and sped off, weaving between the other go-karts that hadn't even reacted yet, switching between the accelerator and brake, turning the steering wheel left and right like a DJ.
Yu Xunge had no idea how Tu Lan operated it. In just a few seconds, the go-kart swerved sideways into a parking space marked by four white lines.
With a whoosh, the go-kart came to a smooth stop.
Tu Lan slammed on the brakes, rested a small hand on the steering wheel, and turned around to ask, "What's wrong with you, sis? Are you implying something?"
Yu Xunge, who had just straightened his upper body, clutched the brim of his hat tightly: "No, no!! I wouldn't dare!"
Tulan snorted.
Yu Xunge had wanted to ask earlier, "Where did that little stick in your mouth come from?"
Tu Lan casually pointed to the road in the parking lot: "I picked this up while I was getting familiar with the area."
Yu Xunge glanced in the direction Tu Lan pointed, and then his gaze froze.
Tulan, puzzled and filled with worry, looked over and saw an oval-shaped alien creature covered in small wooden sticks.
This alien creature looks a bit like a cactus at first glance, except that cacti are green, while it is entirely made of wood with wood grain, has a small white flower on its head, and is covered with dense wooden thorns.
The cactus-shaped player was sitting in his go-kart, staring resentfully at Tulan.
Tulan took the small splinter out of her mouth and looked at it, then glanced at the Wood Palm tribesman named Zhaba. She asked in confusion, "It's just a small splinter, is it really that big of a deal? And it fell on the ground."
Just then, a screech of brakes sounded, and a blue go-kart successfully pulled into the parking space next to them.
After parking the car, the driver couldn't believe his own words: "I actually succeeded on the first try!"
Crab language?
Yu Xunge happened to know how to do this. She turned her head and saw an orange-red crab sitting in the parking space that looked like it had already been cooked—a Wheat Mang Crab.
The crab was very outgoing. It looked at Yu Xunge and said, "Ah, carrying wine and songs, huh? Why is your dragon carrying a child that just hatched from the Wood Palm Clan?"
Huh?
Yu Xunge stared intently at the small wooden splinter and noticed that it did indeed appear to have two small black dots that looked like eyes.
Her eyes lit up. She whispered something to Tulan, who then looked at the small wooden splinter and nodded at her.
Yu Xunge spoke to Mai Mang Crab in the Heavenly Crab Language: "Crab, do you understand the Wooden Palm Language?"
Wheat Mang Crab scratched its face with its claws: "Don't call me so affectionately! Here, please call me Wheat Mang Crab, I understand, what's wrong?"
Yu Xunge pointed to the small wooden splinter in Tu Lan's mouth: "Is it difficult for this to hatch?"
Wheat Crab: "It's probably difficult. The Woodclaw Clan is covered in wood thorns, so maybe only two or three can hatch."
Yu Xunge: "How about I sell it to you for 2 Karting Coins? You can go ask that Woodclaw Tribe if they still want their own child, and how much they'll pay you to buy it. I don't care, I just want 2 Karting Coins from you."
Wheat Mango Crab: "..."
Mai Mang Xie Xie asked sincerely, "Then why don't I just rob it?"
Yu Xunge replied sincerely, "Wouldn't that mean there would be no fun in trading?" He was just spouting nonsense; there was no harm in trying anyway.
Mai Mang Xie Xie asked in a more sincere tone, "Do I look stupid?"
Yu Xunge replied sincerely, "No, I never underestimate any strong person. I just feel a sense of kinship when I see you. Our Zaijiu Star also has a race like yours, and I especially like you."
Mai Mang Xie Xie always felt that the phrase "carrying wine to find songs" sounded strange, but his skills told him that it was true.
In the end, the crab actually agreed to pay the money...
Because the Woodclaw Clan has something that can only be obtained by the Woodclaw Clan giving it willingly; it cannot be obtained by stealing. However, there is no need to explain this to the story of Zaijiu Xunge.
As for why not just rob it from Zaijiuxingge...
Crabmang held two Karting coins in his hand and asked, "Answer me one question and I'll buy from you."
Yu Xunge: "You speak!"
Wheat Crab: "Ze Lan Maple Syrup, did you really deceive your sister-in-law's feelings?"
Yu Xunge's expression turned solemn:
"It's hard to say, but my sister-in-law killed almost her entire family for her sake, and she even invited me to join their extended family. I think it's outrageous. I called her stupid, but she told me that she was willing to be a fool! If she's lying even once, may I be struck by lightning!"
As she spoke, she handed over the wooden spike and took two Karting Coins from the shocked-looking crab-faced crab.
Tu Lan asked Yu Xunge in her mind, "What did you say made him so shocked?"
After Yu Xunge told her the truth, Tu Lan, who knew the truth, fell silent.
It doesn't seem like he's lying, but it sounds so strange.
The player in the other parking space originally wanted to take the opportunity to sneak up on the wine-loving singer, but she happened to be engrossed in listening to the gossip because she could understand the language of the crab. After listening to the gossip while leaning to one side, she silently sat up straight with the same look of shock on her face.
At that moment, the edges of all the parking spaces lit up with lights of the same color as the spaces themselves, signaling the start of the check-in process.
Tulan was a little nervous. She said, "I have really bad luck. What if it explodes?"
Yu Xunge hugged Tu Lan and comforted her, "It's okay. It's already amazing that we've been able to play together this far. And it's all thanks to your driving skills, otherwise I wouldn't have made it this far."
At the same time, she thought to herself, "We have the Despicable Dragon! Don't worry!"
A shrill voice suddenly came from above the head of the Wheat Crab. Its tone was both mournful and angry, and it was unclear what it was complaining about. As a result, the Wheat Crab also stared at her and Tulan with a resentful look.
Yu Xunge searched for a long time following the direction of the sound, and finally found a small seahorse hiding behind the crab's eyes.
Yu Xunge smiled, then looked away, her heart heavy. These players' pets were too well hidden; if they were to fight, they'd be at a huge disadvantage...
Just then, explosions came from all directions!
Ten seconds have passed since the check-in timer started, and the minefields that had successfully checked in began to explode.
All the players immediately looked toward the exploding parking space.
As the smoke cleared, many players' faces instantly darkened.
