Chapter 139 "Hello."
Mu Zhong walked over, looking a little awkward, but he tried to walk steadily and stopped in front of Wei Huan.
It was the first time their eyes met like this. Wei Huan saw the distress in Mu Zhong's eyes and heard him say, "What are you busy with? You didn't even have time to eat?"
Wei Huan actually didn’t care about being hungry. All his attention was on Mu Zhong’s prosthesis.
"Prosthetic limb manufacturing" can be produced with real-world technology, and advanced pilots also have this ability.
At first, they all agreed that Mu Zhongyao should make the prosthetic limb himself, but in the end, because he was too busy, the production of the prosthetic limb was handed over to Commander Mu.
This prosthetic limb was completed by a mecha technician from Tula.
[Mecha Technician] is the fifth-level profession in the driver sequence. This profession allows you to manually control the mecha.
It was because of this mecha technician that the Tula Kingdom formed a mecha corps.
But the emergence of the professional training ground - "Steel Factory" instantly wiped out Tula's four-year lead.
When Commander Mu found the mecha technician, Tula Nation asked for Wei Huan's ability to extract stray supplies from discarded mobile phones.
The mecha technician himself requested a Level II mecha produced by a steel factory, and also hoped to make a reservation for Level III, Level IV, and other mechas. He said that he was willing to pay for all the materials and spend the full amount to purchase the mecha.
When it comes to mecha technology, Mu Zhong has no desire to be selfish. Every single one of the world's only professional training grounds is very important and will greatly improve humanity's war against dark beasts.
Not to mention that the mechas produced by this steel factory can be directly traded and sold for money, even the "Battle Tower" with daily entry and exit restrictions will be allocated quotas by Daxia, simply because the destiny of mankind is common.
As for why they had to go so far to find a foreign mecha technician to make the prosthetic limb, it was of course because of his high level.
and……
"This prosthetic limb is a special item. I can take it out into the world of challenge." Mu Zhong tapped his thigh and smiled. "This way, when I return to Blue Star, I won't have to use a wheelchair anymore."
"Good." Wei Huan pinched Mu Zhong's waist and kissed his smiling eyes. "Very good."
Mu Zhong also took the opportunity to hook his arm around Wei Huan's neck and whispered in his ear: "Let me hold you for a while, I'm not used to it yet."
"Yeah." Wei Huan tightened his arms around her waist.
Mu Zhong has been losing weight, and he is much thinner than two months ago. In the past, he would exercise, be in a good mood, and eat more.
But after these three months, the flesh on his waist and abdomen became soft and he could feel the bones.
Wei Huan felt distressed and hugged him tightly, saying, "Go down and have a meal with me."
"good."
Wei Huan supported Mu Zhong, who was still adjusting, down the stairs. The two of them walked slowly downstairs, chatting about what had happened during the day since they last saw each other.
Mu Zhong said, "I'm almost done with my work, and we'll be leaving in three days at the latest. You should gather your abilities and get some rest during these few days."
Wei Huan said, "No rush, there's still more than a week until the Level 4 exam."
Mu Zhong said, "I've interrogated the group of people you brought back. I think you might be a little interested in this Holy Son. And what about the War Sons? These children who can't return to the Challenge World are also the country's concern. We must find a way to get them back to Blue Star."
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong deeply, and indeed nothing could be hidden from Mu Zhong.
He did have the idea of going to the so-called "Holy Son's Palace" in the near future, and the sooner the better. After all, he had captured people, and he might have alerted the enemy, which would be bad if they escaped.
He was not interested in anyone else, he just wanted to find Dou Lin.
Dou Lin is a genius prophet.
There were so many sixth-level experts in that era, but only Dou Lin was able to emerge, of course, because of his extraordinary talent.
Even if Wei Huan didn't keep such a genius in the car, he would hand him over to the legion for training.
In short, the Zhan clan is destined to be wiped out, and Dou Lin is about to become a wanderer. For such a young child, it is better for him to work for the country and live a more stable life.
Wei Huan did not say much about the arrangement for Dou Lin. Mu Zhong was too smart and would make mistakes if he spoke too much.
"Also, the coordinates overlap." Mu Zhong said again.
Wei Huan didn't understand.
Mu Zhong explained in detail: "The coordinates of this Saint Son's Mansion coincide with the platinum treasure map we obtained."
Wei Huan was surprised. This was completely beyond his expectations.
At this moment, Liu Chengzhi came downstairs, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen with sleepy eyes: "Boss, what else do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Wei Huan came back to his senses and said, "No, I'll heat up the food in the kitchen."
Liu Chengzhi yawned and continued to go to the kitchen: "I'll make you something fresh, it will be quick."
Liu Chengzhi quickly brought out a bowl of stomach-nourishing century egg and lean meat porridge. The food stored in the auction house was not only kept fresh, but also had its temperature locked. Liu Chengzhi used this method to prepare some simple food for Wei Huan.
There were also braised spare ribs, steamed chicken and a portion of pickled pepper beef, accompanied by a large bowl of steaming rice, which were served to Wei Huan.
"I'll go fry two more vegetables. Boss Mu, have something to eat too." Liu Chengzhi was about to leave when someone came down from upstairs.
It’s Xu Qingqiang.
"Add some bowls and chopsticks for me too." Xu Qingqiang sat down on the other side of the table, lit a cigarette for himself, and glared at Wei Huan, saying, "When are we leaving? Let's leave tomorrow. It's so boring."
Wei Huan wanted to wait until Mu Zhong was done with his work.
Xu Qingqiang added, "Next time you go out, take me with you. With me here, those idiots will never come back."
If this incident hadn't been mentioned, Wei Huan would have almost forgotten that he had been followed and attacked.
The attacking group was really too weak, cowardly and useless. They were not as strong and more noticeable as the wandering monsters.
However, Wei Huan remembered that the Zhan clan had attacked him.
This matter is not over yet. Anyway, he knows where the base camp of the War Clan is. He will settle the score when he reaches the fourth-level world.
"Don't go out tomorrow." Wei Huan said, "You can play for two more days."
Xu Qingqiang was helpless and continued, "Let your monkey out so I can see. Lin Xu is useless because he is a warrior."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows. This idea was correct. They all had dark professions, so maybe it would be useful.
Wei Huan thought about it, a portal appeared, and the flying monkey flew out from it.
I don’t know which one it is, but Wei Huan still hasn’t found the elite flying monkey. It seems that different races have different ways of creating elites.
Brother Taozong has found his 16th elite wolf. Recently, after the third elite wolf evolved into the heroic level, Brother Taozong automatically evolved into an epic hero, with attributes ten times that of an ordinary wolf.
He couldn't even find the elite flying monkey.
However, as soon as this palm-sized little monkey came out, it attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Chengzhi, who was coming out of the kitchen, saw it and exclaimed, "How cute!"
Mu Zhong said, "It's indeed cute."
Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows: "This rubbish can be exploded with just one finger, what's the use?"
There is a backup copy of the [Dark Beast Manual] in the car, but Xu Qingqiang will definitely not read it.
Wei Huan didn't explain, but ordered Fei Hou to go over and directly bind Xu Qingqiang in kite mode.
Facing the monkey's tail wrapped around his neck, Xu Qing endured it so hard that veins on his forehead popped out, and he didn't take action.
Just like that, after forcing himself to hold it in for three seconds, Xu Qingqiang asked, "How is it?"
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan: "Did you see it?"
Wei Huan nodded: "I see."
Xu Qingqiang's attributes were revealed in Wei Huan's glasses.
Name: Xu Qingqiang (Title attribute +25%)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Occupation: Berserker (Sequence 4)
Stamina: 3210 (+1800)
Strength: 680
Agility: 700
Spiritual Power: 120
Special status: None
The brackets around Xu Qingqiang's endurance attribute are the extra numbers that appear after the flying monkey kite. The fact that they appear in the attribute glasses proves that they do exist.
In other words, as a dark profession, Xu Qingqiang can indeed "plug in health packs".
"Let me try." Mu Zhong was eager to try.
Wei Huan then summoned a flying monkey again and kite-lifted Mu Zhong.
The first thing Mu Zhong said when he was entangled was, "I don't feel well. The dark energy attributes conflict, and there's also the chilling underworld power. Am I ineffective?"
Wei Huan's silver glasses flashed, and Mu Zhong's attributes also jumped out.
Name: Mu Zhong (Title attribute +25%)
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Occupation: Shaman (Sequence 3) Junior Technician (Sequence 2)
Stamina: 1400
Strength: 240
Agility: 180
Spiritual Power: 1800
Special status: Depression
Wei Huan's gaze lingered on the "special status" for a moment, then he said nonchalantly, "There really is no bonus."
Mu nodded. "Sure enough, the discomfort is obvious. There's no way there's any bonus in this state. Besides, I'm a nature-based person. I heard that the healing effect of the Druid's Tree state is effective against Shamans."
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "The advanced world is an attribute world. We must stock up on some high-resistance equipment and potions in advance."
Wei Huan remembered that the sixth-level world was the ocean world. In that world, there would be many ocean monsters with elemental damage.
It's not just water attacks. The ocean is so big, there are still volcanoes, soil, and metal, which means there are five elements attacks, and even additional damage from darkness and light.
Mu Zhong also said, "Sequence 4 High Shamans can place totems to increase resistance. This indeed indicates that the future world will have additional attribute damage."
The two chatted back and forth. "Hey!" Xu Qingqiang interrupted their conversation and asked, "How many health packs can you tie to this? Why don't you try it? You're suddenly talking about elemental damage. Isn't that going too far? I'm still hanging by my neck!"
Mu Zhong laughed at this. He held up the flying monkey, rubbed its furry head, and said with regret: "What a pity."
Then he threw the flying monkey towards Xu Qingqiang.
The flying monkey came to Xu Qingqiang's head and wrapped its tail around Xu Qingqiang's neck in the same way, so two monkeys floated behind Xu Qingqiang's head.
"How is it?" Xu Qingqiang asked expectantly.
Mu Zhong shook his head. "Let's add 1800. Don't worry, Brother Qiang. The reason the Flying Monkeys' attributes can't be stacked is because each one is a separate entity, so you can't simply add up the values. I'm more inclined to assume that after the first Flying Monkey dies, the next damage will be distributed by the second Flying Monkey."
Xu Qingqiang thought for a moment and said, "My guess isn't true after all. How about letting me go out and have a fight?"
Mu Zhong laughed, "Within a hundred miles of this area, there's no monster that can leave Brother Qiang with low health, not to mention he has 50% damage reduction now. Wait a little longer. In a couple of days, when I'm done with my work, we'll go explore some distant ruins. You still remember the platinum treasure chest reward we got from the random challenge. It contained a platinum-level treasure map. Try your luck with this ruin."
Yes, trying it out with platinum relics, anyone who hears this will say it’s arrogant.
But everyone present looked as if it was a matter of course.
Xu Qingqiang also nodded: "If it's platinum, it should be possible to detect it."
After saying this, Xu Qingqiang glanced at the flying monkeys behind his head, then looked at Wei Huan and said expectantly, "How about we try and see if you can tie a few around my neck?"
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan: "..."
…
Two days later, Mu Zhong finally completed the work at hand temporarily, and their chariot finally started, ready to leave Qinglong City.
I'm afraid this departure will be forever.
They planned to first look for the Holy Son of the War Clan, and then develop the Platinum Ruins. If they had time, they would wander around the nearby ruins. If not, they would directly enter the Level 4 Highway Assessment.
This assessment will be difficult, as many countries are watching them, and there are bounty hunters and killers waiting for an opportunity.
Wei Huan has already prepared to face the whole world in one car. Even though he might die on that road because of his arrogance, he only has two options: move forward or die in battle. He will never look back.
Once you enter the fourth-level highway, the car can no longer turn back.
It is likely that it will be difficult to return to Qinglong City.
"I don't know how long it will be before we meet again." Li Xue wiped her tears and looked at Mu Zhong, who was about to cry. She said with a sigh, "Qinglong City, goodbye~"
Captain Xue, who was standing by, wiped his wife's tears distressedly and said, "If you want to come back, I will bring you back later."
Li Xue sniffed and held back her tears, "You don't have to force it."
"No need to force it..." Captain Xue hadn't finished his words when he saw Li Xue's face light up with joy. "I heard that Qinglong City on the fourth-level highway is more prosperous and has been developed like a cyberpunk. Hurry up, don't waste time, let's get going."
"..." Captain Xue's tenderness was wasted!
Mu Zhong and City Lord Liu Fei couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
City Lord Liu Fei said with a lonely look on his face, "Captain Xue and the others are my good assistants. They have made great contributions to my success as City Lord. Although I know that with their abilities, they will eventually move to the front, I still feel reluctant to let them go after the transfer order came."
Then, City Lord Liu Fei looked at Wei Huan and Mu Zhong. One was calm and dignified, the other a young and energetic man. Mu Zhong stood up again, his whole body seemed to be glowing.
City Lord Liu Fei glanced at Mu Zhong a few more times before turning to Wei Huan and saying, "I wish you a safe journey. The assessment on the Level 4 highway is fraught with danger, so be careful."
Wei Huan nodded, shook hands with City Lord Liu Fei, took a last look at the first big city built by Da Xia in the Challenge World, turned around and stepped onto the chariot.
When he moved, all the crew members followed suit.
After saying goodbye, waving, and getting in the car, only Mu Zhongduo was left to say a few words to City Lord Liu Fei, then turned around and got in the car.
Wei Huan's eyes fell on his legs.
In two days, Mu Zhong had almost adapted to the prosthetic limbs, and when he walked, it was almost impossible to tell that his legs were disabled.
Moreover, the mechanical prosthesis created by the "Mecha Technician" is not just a prosthesis, it even has some combat and weapon-mounting capabilities.
With just these two prosthetic limbs, Mu Zhong can jump five meters high and easily kick a blue whale to death. If he were equipped with rockets, he could even fly like Astro Boy.
You get what you pay for, and Wei Huan thinks this deal is a great value.
Mu Zhong, who walked with a breeze, finally got into the car. He turned around with a smile on his face that had not faded yet. His eyes were full of charm, which made Wei Huan unable to take his eyes away.
When he came to his senses, he found that many people were looking at him. Wei Huan said with a stern face: "All departments prepare..."
The chariot started, gradually moved away from the ground, and floated seven meters into the air.
Behind them were two other level 4 vehicles following closely.
One car belongs to Captain Xue and Li Xue. After Mu Dehao regained power, he immediately delivered the materials for the fourth-level car. Now Captain Xue and his team also have their own fourth-level car.
The other car was a level 4 car sent by the Mu family to guard the road. The driver was Mu Zirui. It was the car that always guarded Wei Huan's car on the level 3 highway.
They will follow Wei Huan into the Level 4 highway assessment and face the hail of bullets with him.
When necessary, they will even stand in front and use themselves as shields.
Wei Huan refused, but it was no use. He was like an old man who was always worried about his juniors and would give them everything he thought was good no matter what.
Captain Xue and Mu Zirui even insisted on being with Wei Huan no matter what.
It was such a kind gesture that Wei Huan couldn't refuse.
In addition, he knew that the Qinglong Army had prepared a big gift for him, and the country and other legions also shared the same hatred and made many preparations for him.
In short, you will know once you enter the highway test.
Wei Huan was touched by the care and concern from all sides, and at the same time he also realized that he meant something different to Daxia. He was a true pillar of the country, so he had to hold on even though the pressure was enormous.
"Set off!"
Wei Huan gave an order, and the three cars floating in the air disappeared above Qinglong City with a "buzz" sound like bullets.
The speed of the fourth-level vehicle exceeded the speed of sound, turning into a white light in the sky and covering a hundred miles in an instant.
Wei Huan asked the housekeeper to keep in touch with the other two cars, and left the driving and communication to cousin Mu, and he no longer took care of it.
The consolidation of combat power for advancement to the fourth level has not yet been completed. The fourth level of forage takes too long, and his undead army is large. If he wants to advance all members, it will take at least ten days or half a month to complete.
This is only the fourth level. If it reaches the eighth or ninth level, I'm afraid I can only train it in a targeted manner.
In this way, they traveled for a day and a night before finally arriving at their destination.
This place is still a hilly area. From the outside, there is nothing unusual and no trace of human activity.
But Wei Huan, who is familiar with challenging the rules of the world, is well aware of the secret.
The chariot stopped five kilometers away, and Wei Huan's undead army was dispatched.
The ground army slowly rushed over, but the Ghost Crow and the Demon Eye Lord arrived first.
"That one, on the side of the hill, hidden by three large trees, is the entrance to a ruin..."
The bearded team leader, Sun Jianxing, was very honest and was afraid of angering Wei Huan and others, so he described the location in great detail.
Liu Chengzhi, who happened to be carrying food in, heard it and asked, "The entrance to the ruins? Ruins can be lived in? No, wait, it seems that ruins can really be lived in!"
Liu Chengzhi was shocked to open up the new world and looked at Wei Huan: "Oh my god, why didn't I think of this before? As long as a small treasure chest is left unopened, won't this ruins exist forever? It's like a free shelter!"
Lin Xu looked at Liu Chengzhi as if he were an idiot: "You are a college student after all, you don't know this, right?
The ruins are buried deep underground, and the atmosphere is thick with darkness. Different tribes have different nest structures. Ordinary people would become stupid if they lived in such an environment for too long! Moreover, ruins that can disappear at any time are not suitable for investment and construction. If you want to preserve them permanently, of course, it is safer to build a city yourself!
At the same time, Mu Zhong was also asking Sun Jianxing: "What ruins are inside?"
"The technological side of the Bluebeard ruins is more suitable for human habitation." Speaking of this, Sun Jianxing sighed, "But the underground is definitely not suitable for human habitation. The atmosphere inside is eerie, especially for children. Lately, the Holy Child has been saying there are voices behind the wall, and they keep calling out 'star, star, star'. Living in such an environment is really too cruel for children."
But these words made Wei Huan and Mu Zhong look at each other, and they both guessed a possibility at the same time.
The coordinates of the platinum treasure map are confirmed to be here. Perhaps there really is a treasure trove hidden here.
Mu Zhong asked a question with great concern: "Have you always lived here?"
"That's not the case." The other driver shook his head. "After the Holy Son was selected as a candidate for the Holy Son, he moved out of the Zhanzi Mansion and lived here. We were all arranged by the leader to take care of him. It's been less than two months now."
Xu Qingqiang scoffed, "Isn't taking care of a brat just being a servant? So you don't want freedom and equality, but come to be someone's slave."
This time, Sun Jianxing was a little angry: "A death row prisoner like me can't go back to Blue Star. Do you think I can't go home if I want to wander around like this?"
Xu Qingqiang bared his jagged teeth. "Am I being too good to you? You dare to speak like that? Do you think I won't kill you? What are you complaining about? Is there a single innocent prisoner on death row?"
Sun Jianxing's tail instantly tucked up, and his back, which had just straightened, arched again. "Yes, I'm sorry, I spoke too loudly. Please don't do anything. I don't mind being sent back to Blue Star and being imprisoned. I just want to live. Please."
Xu Qingqiang then gave up and put away his ferocious expression.
Here, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong had already received the answer. They looked at each other and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Mu Zhong whispered, "The Treasure Palace."
Wei Huan nodded: "The Bluebeard Man's Treasure Palace."
Mu Zhong frowned: "It's too much of a coincidence."
Wei Huan saw his worry, took his hand and said, "Just be careful."
Mu Zhong had no other choice but to do this. They were determined to get this treasure. Fortunately, the platinum level also demonstrated the difficulty of the underground palace from another perspective.
They should be able to handle this level.
However, just in case, Mu Zhong still reminded: "Deal with the Zhan Clan first, to prevent them from attacking from both sides."
Wei Huan nodded: "Okay."
"And that Holy Son..." Mu Zhong hesitated, "What are your plans?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Wei Huan was not sure now. He planned to make a decision after meeting the person.
"good."
After the two chatted for a few words, Wei Huan's vision had already reached the sky above the ruins.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about the ruins. They looked like all the ordinary ruins they had seen, like a crashed advanced tank buried deep in the soil, with only a very small part exposed, allowing entry and exit.
Looking inside from the entrance, it was pitch black, without a trace of light.
When the undead troops on the ground arrived, Wei Huan ordered the Demon Eye Lord and the Ghost Crow to enter together.
Walking in the front was an elite running wolf. This level 4 running wolf was huge in size and had ferocious bone spurs like the anus-digging guy. It looked majestic as it ran.
Every three or four meters behind him, there were two running wolves walking in the passage, one in front and one behind, like a line, very disciplined.
Compared to the disciplined running wolves, the facehuggers walking on the walls and ceilings seemed much more undisciplined and free. White bones were spread all over the walls wherever they could squeeze into.
Almost quietly and soundlessly, the entire undead army went deep into the ruins.
Three minutes after walking out, Wei Huan, who had not been attacked yet, vaguely sensed something was wrong.
How come there is no defense at all?
Even if it was for concealment, since I had already gone so deep, there would be no abnormality.
There were no attacks, no crowds, and nothing like what ruins should look like.
Got cheated?
But before Wei Huan could question Sun Jianxing, a glimmer of starlight in front of him drew his attention again.
The speed of the undead army suddenly increased.
The perception of the undead is much stronger than Wei Huan, who only borrowed the vision of the Lord of the Magic Eye.
The running wolf showed its fangs and bit the crack under the facehugger's belly with a "crunching" sound. The ghost crow, who was holding it in, finally couldn't help but let out a "quack" sound.
Then it rushed forward like a strong wind and huge waves.
Wei Huan cheered up.
There are not only lights ahead, but also attack targets!
Wei Huan shouted to stop them, and the undead that were about to bite the other party's throat obeyed his order and retreated like a tide, turning into a solid cage.
Wei Huan drove the Lord of the Demon Eye to fly over. As the light got closer, a scene appeared before his eyes that he could never have imagined.
In this dark and deep ruin, there was a boy wearing clothes that obviously didn't fit him, holding a lamp in his hand, looking at him.
The boy looked thin and small, as if he was only four or five years old. Half of his shoulders were exposed from his overly wide collar, and the shoes on his feet were so black that they looked like they were picked up from a garbage dump.
Everything seemed so bad, but the boy's eyes were round and bright, with light reflected in his black pupils, and a hideous eyeball covered with black bloodshot, but he was still so calm, as if he was fearless and had been waiting for a long time.
He opened his mouth and made a sound.
Wei Huan couldn't hear, but he could still hear the boy's lips moving as he said, "Hello, we finally meet."
