Boss, come here quickly!
Chapter 49
This time, even Shuroma was dispatched.
The eight Shuromas were tall and strong, with ferocious faces and pitch black bodies, like demons.
The neighing sound of Pofeng was hoarse and unpleasant, piercing the soul directly. Then he leaped high, raising a trail of dust, and rushed towards the Sandworm King first.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It was as if drum beats from ancient times were ringing from the sky. One could vaguely hear the melodious sounds, which were the prayers of ancient sacrifices.
Layer upon layer, gathered together, the sound waves are indistinguishable.
Then, a mysterious power descended.
Shuroma's body suddenly grew twice as large as it could have been, and his figure, submerged in the red mist, looked from a distance like the god of war riding a Pegasus in mythology.
There is also the mother earth beast, which has also been blessed with spiritual power.
After eating one-star grass, the Earth Beast can summon nearly 50 Face Huggers. Now the number has doubled. Each Earth Beast has the power to summon another 100 minions.
As an elite unit, the smaller ones have stronger capabilities.
Not only can the number of summons reach about 180, but there is also a higher probability of summoning earth beast warriors and earth beast guards.
The combat effectiveness has more than doubled!
Mu Zhong's ability, combined with Wei Huan's, is too terrifying.
If other challengers still have to consider the issue of weakness, then Wei Huan doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Their combination is so perfect.
If Wei Huan is the Pluto standing on the Bone Tower, then Mu Zhong must be the most precious and beautiful jewel in his crown! !
The battle ended as quickly as expected.
The seriously injured Sandworm King was simply unable to face the eight Shuroma who had eaten one-star grass and had been given a full set of buffs.
The four legs of the Shuroma are actually four claws, which are extremely good at grasping and climbing.
Not to mention that the length of the sandworm king lifted into the sky is less than a hundred meters, they can easily climb up even a stick that pierces the sky.
The three heads and six arms are even more terrifying. Their sharp nails can cut through any hard object, and their huge strength makes them love scratching and tearing.
After the battle, Wei Huan approached the battlefield and saw a dismemberment scene.
The sandworm king was torn into countless pieces of flesh, covered in transparent sticky liquid and scattered all over the ground.
Still not satisfied, Shuroma walked proudly among the minced meat, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder. If he saw a piece that was a little bigger, he would tear it into pieces with his four legs.
The Sandworm King, like some soft-bodied insects, was neatly split into two. Not only would it not die, but it would also split into two, and its vitality was extremely tenacious.
But it is obvious that now that it has been torn into this state, it is deader than dead.
After all, the tough sandworm skin and sandworm mucus have become supplies and appeared on the screen of the car's front windshield.
The former are supplies used in the vehicle.
The latter is a necessary material for upgrading potions of a certain profession.
Less than two minutes after Wei Huan drove over, the red sand mist swallowed up the corpses before it could settle, and not even a trace of mucus was left on the ground.
All that's left is this bombed-out, messy ruin.
"Hey, you made such a big noise when you appeared, how come you are so weak?"
Mu Zhong sighed in a very Versailles way.
Then he said excitedly: "Look at the golden treasure chest, there's an advanced water collector! It's an advanced water collector! I can take a bath now!!"
This time, the golden treasure chest contained a level 5 engine upgrade blueprint and a golden level strength glove.
One is not used now, and the other will not be used in the future. It seems like it is a waste to eat it but not worth throwing away. Apart from selling it for points, there doesn't seem to be much to be happy about.
On the contrary, when he reached the end of the list of supplies, the advanced water collector that appeared almost made Mu Zhong jump up.
The water collector I had been dreaming of was finally in place. I opened a high-end one and now I can easily make water for my car! !
In addition, Wei Huan was also happy.
A pair of xenon lamps dropped from the golden treasure chest, which are the key materials for upgrading to level 4 headlights.
As soon as the xenon lamps arrived at the warehouse, the button for producing the level 4 headlights was turned on.
upgrade! !
【yes】
[Upgrade to level 4 headlights, countdown 00:59:59]
Wei Huan finished this task first, and then took back all the undead creatures, leaving only the ghost crow outside.
He overestimated the strength of the Sandworm King, or perhaps underestimated the explosive power of the Nether Fire, and this time he seemed to be sending out all his forces.
Except for the zombies, all the skeletons were summoned out in one breath.
Mu Zhong also actively refreshed the BUFF.
The result was that some undead with buffs couldn't even squeeze into the standing position, wasting an opportunity in vain.
Now we have to wait for the CD penalty of weakness.
This is equivalent to Wei Huan’s combat effectiveness being reduced by half.
Next time, I have to be more careful with my spending.
"What a waste." Mu Zhong also said so, pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing, "I was so happy that I used up all my spiritual power. I feel like fainting."
Wei Huan said without turning his head: "You feel dizzy, I will carry you up later."
Mu Zhong sat up in shock, dying: "No, it's okay, I can go upstairs by myself."
Wei Huan's attention was on the screen, he was checking the missing materials, and did not notice Mu Zhong's excessive sensitivity.
There was silence for a long time. When he came to his senses and looked again, there was no one behind him.
Wei Huan called out, "Butler."
"I'm here, Captain."
"Let's go, the ruins will call me."
"Okay, Captain."
The car drove out of the ruins and continued towards the destination at a speed of 500 miles per hour.
Wei Huan looked outside the car for a while. Seeing the same old scene, his eyelids began to twitch.
He habitually leaned back, put his feet on the steering wheel, crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in less than two seconds.
When I opened my eyes again, it was three hours later.
It's dark now.
Level 4 headlights can illuminate very far, and even in a violent sandstorm, you can see the environment more than ten meters away.
The AI's scanning device is somewhat limited in the sandstorm, but it has no problem maintaining a speed of 500 miles per hour.
However, the speed of the ghost crows was limited in such a climate. Wei Huan could feel that they were extremely struggling and their soul fire was extremely weak.
"Stop, that's all for today."
Wei Huan gave the order, and at the same time took back the ghost crow.
The car slowly stopped, and the intelligent butler said gently: "Okay, Captain, we have stopped as you ordered.
During the autonomous driving period, we drove a total of 2032.58 kilometers and opened a total of 8 treasure chests, including 5 black iron treasure chests and 3 bronze treasure chests.
Do you need me to give you a detailed list of supplies?"
"No."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows. After two thousand kilometers, he didn't even open a single silver treasure chest.
Could it be that encountering that golden treasure chest used up his good luck?
I suddenly felt sad.
He not only wants quality, but also quantity, and he must do both well.
Wei Huan frowned. He felt that the fundamental problem was not luck, but his professional level, which limited the distance his summoned creatures could explore.
So, how long will it take to advance to the third-level tomb worshipper?
Wei Huan left the cab and returned to the room.
The lights were bright, but there was no one.
The parts Mu Zhong brought back were piled on the floor with no room to step, and he was nowhere to be found. Wei Huan went upstairs and saw the door was closed, so he must have fallen asleep.
Today, I have been busy since dawn.
Wei Huan explored three ruins, while Mu Zhong had been training in various aspects, almost draining his physical strength and energy.
Having autonomous driving is no easier than driving a car.
In particular, they are all extremely self-disciplined people.
Mu Zhong was resting, so naturally no one cooked dinner.
Wei Huan felt his empty stomach and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Wei Huan never defined Mu Zhong as a "chef" or "nanny". Mu Zhong was just demonstrating his own value, and just right.
This is the initiative that a good partner should have.
Now with autonomous driving, both of them have their own things to do, and cooking has become a hassle.
Wei Huan walked around the kitchen and didn't feel like doing anything himself, so he turned on the system projection in the kitchen and searched for food in the auction house.
It was only after this observation that I realized that the challengers in this area were still at the stage of eating hot dogs and bread.
There are a few pancakes and rice, and someone is specifically selling a dish of pickled vegetables and minced meat. A large jar costs 1 point, and the sales are good.
Wei Huan bought two bowls of ready-made rice and a portion of pickled vegetables and minced meat.
Then I continued to slide the screen and saw a menu called [Barbecue (Large Skewers)] pop up, so I bought one, which came with five skewers.
After buying it, I saw the seller’s name, Liu Chengzhi.
Wei Huan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Liu Chengzhi's ridiculous and shameless behavior this afternoon.
Only seen in my lifetime.
For a moment, it seemed that the barbecue no longer smelled good.
After buying dinner, Wei Huan only took out a bowl of rice and kept the rest in the space to keep warm. He ate it with pickled vegetables, minced meat and barbecued meat.
He did not wake Mu Zhong, but before leaving, he left a note on the table to remind him that there was hot food ready.
Then he went upstairs.
The water collector has been replaced with a large one, and the shower water is sufficient and powerful, pouring from head to toe and removing the fatigue in the bones.
Halfway through his shower, Wei Huan's eyes fell on the round bathtub not far away. He stared at it for a few seconds before turning his head back.
After taking a shower, he found folded pajamas under the washbasin. Mu Zhong had put them there at some point. They were all in sizes that suited him, and there were several sets.
The pure cotton pajamas are very simple, made of soft and sweat-absorbent cotton with a light lavender scent.
Wei Huan picked up the clothes and put them on. They were a little tight around his shoulders and arms. His strength had increased a lot recently, so he simply wore only pants and walked out shirtless.
The big massage bed was actually useless. After using it for the first time, Wei Huan never used it again.
He didn't bother to take care of his wet hair, and just fell asleep on the pillow, saying, "Housekeeper, turn off the lights."
The last trace of light disappeared and darkness fell.
The wind and sand outside the car cannot penetrate the protection of the protective cover, and everything is silent.
Wei Huan's consciousness entered the professional temple and continued today's training.
He could feel that he was close to a breakthrough.
In the chat room of area 1006.
Liu Chengzhi cried: [Boss, look at me, you bought my meat again, add me as your friend, and I will grill you meat every day, oooh oooh~~]
In addition, seven cars were parked in front of a remote ruin, seemingly waiting for daybreak to explore the ruins.
These cars formed a circle, which provided good protection against wind and sand, and they could even set up private channels for communication through walkie-talkies.
Shi Hengjun's voice was ringing through the intercom at this moment: "Tomorrow, the same old rules will apply. Imai will continue to create conflicting topics in the chat room to attract their attention and try to slow down everyone's driving speed.
Iijima, I gave you two silver agility equipment today. You must guard the door for me. Anyone who breaks into the ruins will be killed without mercy. We don't want the situation like today to happen again.
Mingmei, keep an eye on the auction house sellers. If Wei Huan puts items up for sale again, buy them for me immediately. That idiot, he thinks he's selfless and great, but he's actually giving us points..."
Mingmei was a woman, speaking in a sly and coquettish voice. "Yeah, that's stupid. Support class equipment is 50% off, and I'm selling it at 10% off, and there are still people willing to buy it. By reselling this equipment, our team has already earned over 3,000 points."
Shi Hengjun: "Also, I reminded you to keep the resources you left behind. You must preserve them well. These are the resources the mulberry trees need."
Mingmei: "Don't worry, I remember that these materials are very cheap. Wei Huan is really stupid."
…
A night passed.
At six o'clock, the sky brightened on time.
The temperature that could freeze a person into an ice cube in the last second suddenly rose to 50°, leaving no time for people to adapt.
Liu Chengzhi had finished his breakfast and dinner, and sat in the driver's seat at 5:55 sharp, making all the preparations. As soon as the sun rose, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
His car is already at level two.
He was lucky yesterday. Not only did he encounter a black iron treasure chest, but he also got high-level core materials, which allowed his car to upgrade to level two.
He even saw Boss Wei Huan with his own eyes and spoke to him!
Although he did not fulfill his wish to get in the car, he was in a very good mood today. He drove his beloved little car, humming songs all the way, feeling very comfortable.
But soon, after he climbed over a hill, he found a ruin.
And outside the ruins, there were seven cars that had been waiting there early.
Liu Chengzhi hurriedly stopped the car, stretched his neck, and looked around.
After yesterday's experience, he no longer dared to go to these places casually.
However, if I don’t go back, I won’t go…
Liu Chengzhi's eyes rolled, and he remembered the majestic look of Boss Wei when he came charging towards him yesterday.
So, if I tell him the coordinates, can I see Boss Wei again?
Moreover, Boss Wei is a man of the rules and is willing to split the profits 50-50. In his opinion, this is basically freeloading.
so……
Liu Chengzhi: Boss Wei, I found another ruin! Add me as your friend! I'll tell you the coordinates!
[Liu Chengzhi: Boss Wei, come quickly!]
In this way, Liu Chengzhi shouted for a full ten minutes and rejected all those who sent him private messages and wanted to buy information.
Finally, the scene he had been waiting for happened.
【Mu Zhong requests to add you as a friend】
Ahhhhhh!
Mu Zhong knows! Boss Wei’s partner!
Finally, has my sincerity moved the heavens?
Liu Chengzhi hurriedly accepted Mu Zhong's friend request.
Just say one sentence.
[Boss Mu! The coordinates are 13242.232! Bring the boss here, I'll keep an eye on him for you.]
As soon as this sentence was sent out, Liu Chengzhi heard a "boom" and then the earth shook, and he and his car flew up.
The windshield shattered and he was thrown from the hill to the bottom of the valley. Even the second-level car could not protect him from the blood gushing out of his chest.
With a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted onto the windshield.
The broken lines were stained with blood, and three cars could be vaguely seen driving down from the sand dunes.
Discovered.
But...how could he attack directly?
Just give him a warning and he'll leave. Why did these people just attack without even seeing him?
As the vehicle approached, diamond arrows were shot out from the enemy's arrow tower.
“Swoosh!”
Shoot straight at the driver's seat, it's going to kill him!
Liu Chengzhi was so frightened that his scalp went numb. He rolled over and off the driver's seat. At the same time, his talent as a fraudster came into play and his body blurred and quickly disappeared.
He hid in the car, and the car shell was shot into a hedgehog by the diamond arrows, and he was also shaken from side to side by the strong impact.
He swallowed the blood in his mouth and looked around, trying to find a place where he could survive, but found in despair that there was no way to escape.
Immediately following.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Two more loud bangs!!
The other party actually used □□ to blow him up!
Fight till death!!
Liu Chengzhi was bounced high up and fell on the edge of the table, making him dizzy and his back was licked by flames, leaving large areas of skin burned.
One of my feet suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then I lost feeling.
He let out a hoarse "Ahhh" cry and could barely maintain his hidden form.
Fear and pain made tears flow uncontrollably.
For the first time, I felt the cruelty of challenging the world so realistically.
No.
It's not about challenging the world's cruelty, but about challenging people.
They are their compatriots who should watch over and help each other.
It’s just a few boxes, is that a big deal?
Is that so?!
Is that so?!
Liu Chengzhi turned around and looked at his broken leg, tears streaming down his face in pain...
Faintly, he heard laughter outside the car, and someone yelling, "Is he dead? Fire a few more rounds! It looks like it's a Level 2 car. Don't let him live, kill him!!"
…
Mu Zhong saw the coordinates sent by Liu Chengzhi and said to Wei Huan, "This guy is quite nice. He contacted you specifically to tell you the coordinates. You said that you split the profit 50-50 with someone yesterday. Is that what he meant? That's right. The probability is higher than relying on luck, and the benefits are higher."
Wei Huan recalled Liu Chengzhi, and he was sure that the other party did not want to split the profits with him.
But getting on the car was not that simple. He gave the right to get on the car to Mu Zhong, and his car would eventually go to the front line. His teammates were not necessarily extremely powerful, but at least they had to complement each other and improve.
I always feel that Liu Chengzhi is... not suitable.
Mu Zhong was still saying, "It seems our rush last night was having some effect. The coordinates are going backwards. Are we back to square one again?"
“Exploring the ruins does slow things down,” Wei Huan said.
There was another point Wei Huan didn't mention. He always felt that the chat room was full of hostility and there were quarrels whenever it was opened.
As an "old challenger", he was very sure that the atmosphere was wrong, as if someone was deliberately pushing it.
It’s like… everyone is busy arguing, gossiping, and eating melons, so how can they concentrate on driving or opening treasure chests?
On the long challenge road, alone with one person and one car, in the current situation where most people only have level one cars, the only way for challengers to pass the time is the liveliness of the chat room.
It was obvious that someone was playing tricks in the center of attention.
So is it to win the speed championship?
Wei Huan was lost in thought when Mu Zhong suddenly said, "We have too many supplies in our warehouse, and many people have contacted me, hoping to buy them at a higher price."
Wei Huan wanted to say, if you are not angry anymore, just sell it.
Mu Zhong sneered, "According to my intuition, I have run into someone in the same industry.
In the past two days, I have had some free time to pay attention to the trends of the auction house. The materials we released were put up for sale again at a higher price, and some of them were sold several times.
Small things are fine, but silver-related supplies cost two or three hundred points each, but they can still be sold quickly.
If this wasn't a team effort, I would have taken my head off and played with it like a ball."
Wei Huan lowered his eyes and his gaze turned cold.
In fact, how to bring good deeds to the hands of those who really need it has been a difficult problem since ancient times.
There are always people who are good at throwing things down and can seize the opportunity at the first moment and make a fortune from it.
Mu Zhong: "It's not impossible to bypass this group of people, but it's very troublesome. As long as we limit purchases, it will have a significant effect. However, the auction house does not have a purchase limit function, so we need to operate manually.
It takes a lot of energy, and it's not worth spending the whole day here. I can only control silver-level and above materials at best."
"Perhaps I can help you solve your problem." The smart butler suddenly said, "I can compare the data and complete the auction purchase limit."
The intelligent butler continued, "I've retrieved all of your transaction records during this challenge. One challenger, Mingmei, purchased a total of 8 pieces of silver equipment, 21 pieces of black iron equipment, and 56 sets of supplies from you. From yesterday to today, Mingmei sold 54 of these pieces of equipment and supplies at the auction house. She perfectly fits your definition of a surrenderer."
In addition, Mingmei is in your friend list, Deputy Captain."
When Mu Zhong heard this, his eyebrows were twisted with tears.
When I opened the friend list of my account, I saw Mingmei's name in it.
Before this, he had communicated with Mingmei.
Mingmei: I'm a prayer. I haven't dared to get out of the car to open the chests yet. I've relied on healing potions to get here. Can you sell me some auxiliary equipment at a lower price?
Mingmei: Look at my information. I'm not lying. I'm satisfied as long as I can open a bronze treasure chest and reach Sequence 2.
[Mingmei: Thank you! It's already 50% off, and you gave me a pair of Black Iron Spiritual Gauntlets. I just opened a bronze treasure chest, and it's really different with the gear. I killed my first treasure chest monster.]
Mingmei: Boss Muzhong, I just opened another chest. They're all bronze, but why are the monsters so much stronger? I almost couldn't make it back. I'm covered in wounds, and my spiritual power is almost gone. It hurts so much...
When Mu Zhong saw this, he almost vomited.
When he saw this sentence, he gave Mingmei three bronze items that increased strength for free. He believed that the main reason why the praying man could not kill the treasure chest monster was not because of his insufficient treatment, but mainly because of insufficient strength.
But now, knowing that she was the biggest surrenderer... Although the three bronze equipment were not worth much, the fact that he was tricked into giving them away for free still made him feel as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
The key point was, as soon as he looked up and met Wei Huan's eyes, Mu Zhong's 'manly virtue', which he had never dreamed of, instantly awakened. He explained anxiously, his face pale and anxious, "Don't overthink it. I don't have any other intentions towards her. Look, many of my friends who are support professions, I give bronze equipment directly to them. I only give it to this woman because she is a praying person."
But Wei Huan was obviously not concerned about these.
Wei Huan asked, "What's the connection between these two names, Mingmei and Imai?"
After hearing this, Mu Zhong still had nothing to understand: "These are all surnames from the Mulberry Country."
Wei Huan: "Add Shi Hengjun."
Mu Zhong's forehead twitched, and he whispered, "Are you saying...we've aided the enemy?"
I would rather my meat rot in the pot than be eaten by the termites in the mulberry kingdom!
So after saying this, Mu Zhong's face looked extremely ugly. If it weren't for the reminder from the smart butler, he would have been unaware of the blood being sucked away.
"From now on, this Mingmei should never appear in my trading directory again. No..." Mu Zhong learned a lesson from this experience. "Please help me reject all those who have done business with me."
"Okay, deputy captain." The intelligent butler answered gently without any sadness or joy.
Then he reminded her, "One kilometer from the destination. Scans have detected traces of combat. Speed has been reduced. Would you like to switch to manual driving?"
"No, keep driving at a low speed." Wei Huan had already stood up and walked to the windshield, leaning on the operating console to look out. "What traces of battle? Describe them in detail."
A photo similar to a satellite image, taken from the air, appeared in front of Wei Huan through the projection screen on the windshield.
