Chapter 232 The World in the Glass Tank
The excitement gradually faded away, and the people on the chariots were no longer surprised by the gold-level equipment, as they had seen it too many times.
The reason for their excitement was more due to the delayed display of thrills and high excitement after they arrived in the sixth-level world.
After the excitement passed, everyone returned to their posts, training as needed and resting as needed.
Xu Qingqiang gathered the two hundred criminals under his command together for a meeting to review the situation. He also invited Instructor Xing and the staff to help him manage his men in an orderly manner.
When Wei Huan saw it, he suddenly remembered Xu Qingqiang's information.
His father is a drug enforcement officer who works anonymously all year round. His mother takes care of him and raises him at home. Although he has not been a well-behaved child since he was young, there is nothing wrong with being naughty. If he has no major problems and excels in all aspects when he grows up, he will definitely join the military or police.
The sudden arrival of the challenging world messed up everything. Many children became orphans overnight. Although the country established an orphanage as soon as possible, Xu Qingqiang's future was completely disrupted.
Can we put things right now?
He eventually reached this position and inherited his father's legacy.
Wei Huan looked at Xu Qingqiang, who was trying hard to be serious and establish his prestige, smiled, and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
I saw Mu Zirui and Jacques together, talking in low voices. Mu Zirui's expression was respectful, and occasionally he would look as if he had suddenly realized something.
And because of the conversation with Mu Zirui, the slight melancholy in Jacques' expression dissipated even more, and he smiled humbly and spoke in an elegant manner.
Wei Huan looked around and remembered that it had been 8 hours since he entered the level 6 world. Normally at this time, he should go to the professional temple to practice.
Not today.
The road test is a process of adapting to the new world in advance. In addition, I have now lost the ability to foresee the future, so I have to be cautious in this test.
Wei Huan, who had nothing to do for the moment, could only relax, lean back in his chair and close his eyes to rest.
Before I knew it, I fell into a light sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I was woken up by the butler AI.
"Hello, Captain. We are approaching the edge of the world. The waves here are quite turbulent. Deputy Captain Mu asked me to ask you if we should continue to advance."
After hearing this, Wei Huan perked up. After sitting up straight, he did not answer the AI's questions, but contacted Mu Zhong directly.
Mu Zhong was in the cab, in his own driver's seat. His seat was at the very front of the chariot, and Wei Huan's current position meant he could no longer see him directly.
Mu Zhong said, "Our chariots should be fine once we reach the edge of the world, but the others will probably struggle. If we leave them gathered in one place and wait, a swarm of monsters might spawn."
Wei Huan saw that Mu Zhong wanted to have the best of both worlds, but that would only make things difficult for himself. Unwilling to make things difficult for him, Wei Huan said, "We've already stopped the monsters. Don't they even know how to drive?"
Wei Huan didn't want to embarrass Mu Zhong, and he didn't want to embarrass himself either, so naturally he had no choice but to make things difficult for them.
You are not a baby in swaddling clothes. You can't just ignore all risks and need someone to take care of you in everything.
Besides, if it's just a harsh environment, a level 5 tank, while struggling, won't be damaged. And since we don't have to kill world monsters, why can't we just follow?
Mu Zhong actually had the same idea, but he still had to ask.
He is indeed indecisive, and most importantly, he always wants to have the best of both worlds.
But the reality is not so perfect. Wei Huan's decisiveness is what he envies the most. This attitude of being able to take on everything is the most beautiful quality of a leader.
Mu Zhong got the answer and turned around to get back to work.
Wei Huan naturally couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and left his room and went to the cockpit.
After the cockpit is upgraded to level seven, there are only 30 driving seats. Most of the people staying here are talented people in the driver sequence. Their profession determines that they are more talented in handling these tasks.
As for the old men who originally had driving seats, the combat team, and the management staff, their seats were in the combat meeting room. However, there are not many people who sit here for no reason now. The existence of these seats is more of a symbol of position and status.
Wei Huan walked through the crowd of drivers and came to Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong had already seen Wei Huan appear in the reflection of the glass, and before he could get close, he smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Let's see." Wei Huan walked to Mu Zhong's seat, rested one hand on the armchair, and leaned close to Mu Zhong. Then he bent down slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"
Mu Zhong's ears were brushed by the warm wind, and the auricles fluttered slightly, stained with a faint crimson. He glanced at Wei Huan and smiled: "Not tired, did you just fall asleep?"
"Have you been here?"
"Yeah, it's nothing serious. I didn't call you because I saw you were asleep."
"Now that you know, let me take over the shift. You should rest."
"It's not that I insist, but I also want to see what the border of this world looks like."
"I have some guesses."
"Me too, so I want the answer even more."
"Okay, I'll stay here with you." There was a hint of doting helplessness in Wei Huan's eyes. His hand that was on the back of the chair fell down, hooked into Mu Zhong's hair, and slowly and tenderly wrapped around it.
Wei Huan's chariot is level six, and most of his vehicle components have been upgraded in the past few months.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky. They had collected enough materials for the level 7 protective shield, but the blueprints had not dropped.
There is no acquisition in the world.
If it is a level seven protective shield, after the shield is expanded, it can protect the chariots following behind. This journey to the border of the world will be no different from a tour.
But now, if the level six protective shield is expanded too large, the consumption will be greater and it may be broken by undercurrents at any time.
Mu Zhong's final method was to let the chariots with level six protective shields protect the chariots without them separately, and to shrink the protective shields as small as possible so that they could withstand stronger winds and waves.
Jacques and Xu Qingqiang's cars were both sent out.
Although Wei Huan could not open the seventh-level protective shield, the sixth-level protective shield kept coming out. He kept two tanks with upgraded crews and handed the rest to Mu Dehao and the country.
The chariots of these two people, plus the upgraded protective shields of most of the major powers, can basically provide one car with one person, and the extra three cars are in the protective shield of Wei Huan's chariot.
After a little reorganization, we set off again and everything went much more smoothly.
Although most of the people who followed him did not understand why Wei Huan had to take the risk to the border of the world, they had no right to object and could only follow him.
There are also monsters in the wind and waves, and there are relatively more high-level treasure chests.
After entering for more than an hour, three silver treasure chests were opened. The monsters seemed to be well adapted to this turbulent environment. They grew stronger while others declined, making them a little harder to kill.
Of course, no matter how difficult it was to kill them, it couldn't stop Wei Huan from moving forward. They all returned to the darkness of the challenging world and contributed materials and equipment to Wei Huan.
Finally, three hours later, they arrived at the edge of the world.
In fact, we all felt a little embarrassed when we got here.
The level six protective shield will soon run out of energy and break into pieces when it fights against the wind and waves of the level six world.
Everyone had to rush into the protection range of other tanks on time.
After all, it takes about three minutes for the shield to recharge. During this time, if only a level 5 tank is exposed to the impact, it will explode in just a few hits.
In addition, the energy consumption is also very high.
Fortunately, with everyone's increasingly tacit cooperation, we got through the whole journey safely.
Now the chariot is parked at the edge of the world. Almost no one here has ever been to such a place, and they can't help but look with their eyes wide open.
"Record it all, this is key intelligence."
"What are you here for? Just to take a look?"
"Oh my god, I feel like I'm in a fish tank full of water, and there's like a piece of clear glass in front of us."
"So, this world really is just water, with no sky? No land? Only an endless seabed?"
“This world is so suffocating.”
Faced with this result, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong both showed an expression of "as expected" in their eyes.
They often run to the border of the world. After all, the worse the environment, the more good things there will be.
So we guessed at the beginning that this world might really only consist of sea water.
Mu Zhong said, “I wonder if the Assessment Highway is the same as the Level 6 World.”
Wei Huan shook his head: "Just go and see when the time comes."
Mu nodded, then changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I asked Orange Juice to connect a pipe to bring the seawater here directly to the World Tree Bud. So far, everything seems to be going well. It obviously prefers this complex seawater to purified water."
Wei Huan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mu Zhong to make such an attempt.
Mu Zhong said, "So if everything goes well, when Captain Fang brings the World Tree here... perhaps the final result will be even better than we imagined."
Wei Huan nodded, that’s true.
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then prepared to go back.
Now that I've seen it all and know the answer, it's time to return to the normal adventure environment. This is too energy-consuming, and the assessment world has a time limit.
But Wei Huan said, "Let's go down this time."
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows.
Wei Huan has less and less clues about the future that he can grasp, but he knows that except for a few floating ruins, the real relics are all on the seabed.
If you want to get good things, you have to go to the bottom of the sea.
Wei Huan didn't explain, and Mu Zhong didn't ask.
Because once Wei Huan made a decision, Mu Zhong only needed to execute it.
Mu Zhong is a very perceptive person. He knows very well what to ask and what not to ask. Even though the two of them are very close, precisely because he cherishes this relationship, he has to manage it carefully and not touch areas that should not be touched.
The ones who were most happy about the decision to leave were of course the other tanks that followed.
Most of them have no interest in exploring the edge of the world, and are unwilling to bother thinking about how humans can establish bases in the deep sea world.
In short, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, so it’s not their turn to worry.
However, the captain of the Osham chariot was talking to his deputy on the way back: "Wei Huan advocated bringing the World Tree sapling to the sixth-level world. At that time, almost all countries were opposed to it. There was also a large voice demanding that the World Tree be planted directly to benefit mankind.
But now I understand why Daxia insisted on Wei Huan's proposal.
The horrors of the deep sea world are beyond human imagination. If there were no World Tree, the natural environment alone would destroy us in this world."
His deputy also said with emotion: "Colonel Wei is a great man. His appearance changed the fate of the human race on Blue Star. If humanity can ultimately win in the future, the greatest credit will go to Colonel Wei."
"Extreme personality cult?" The captain said this, then smiled reassuringly at his deputy's suddenly panicked eyes. "I also admire Wei Huan very much, and I trust him more than I trust myself. That's why I would come here even if it meant signing a life-or-death agreement. I think you all do too. You all believe that Wei Huan can lead us to victory and ultimately build a new world in the Level Six world."
Wei Huan naturally didn't know about this conversation.
I don’t know that in fact, these chariots from various powerful countries, and the people in the chariots, all admire him very much and voluntarily sign up to follow him.
Luckily on the return trip, they came across another golden treasure chest.
Wei Huan chose to kill it on the spot.
This is a giant western dragon with two heads, even longer than Dian Ma. When it appears, it casts a huge shadow like a mountain. Being locked in its cold and ruthless eyes, one will be enveloped by a strong sense of powerlessness and fear.
Moreover, this dragon can control water with one head and wind with the other head, and coupled with its hard body, it is extremely difficult to kill.
Wei Huan fought for a full half hour, causing the earth to shake and the waves to surge, before he finally killed it with great difficulty.
Two consecutive encounters with gold-level monsters also made everyone speculate about the seventh-level world.
"Like a mythical creature."
"Yes, it has some shadows of Blue Star mythology, but it is a divine beast."
"The Hydra and the Two-Headed Dragon aren't mythical beasts. They're legendary beasts at best. I just didn't expect that legendary beasts like those in human legends would appear in the Challenge World."
"Legends are born from imagination, and some come from word of mouth from ancient times to the present day. Perhaps the ancients really did see these monsters?"
"If that's the case, then the myths and legends of many countries all mention that this world is enormous, hundreds or even tens of thousands of times larger than it is today. Could this also be true? Could the legend become reality?"
"It's very possible. Every time a major battlefield is won or lost, Blue Planet gains or loses a piece of land. The extra land seamlessly connects with the original land of Blue Planet. Perhaps Blue Planet has truly been folded up?"
“Challenging the world…perhaps in the process of challenging it, we are gradually unraveling these mysteries.”
While the two-headed dragon was fighting, the twins had been observing carefully. This battle had a great impact on them. After a period of trial and error, they pushed their ice and fire combination skills to a new level. Regardless of damage or endurance, the combined combat power of the two of them ranked among the best in the long-range group.
Now that the battle is over, the melee professions have returned, and the ranged professions have also retreated from the war platform. There are only 18 chariots left in the vast ocean, floating under the purple protective shield.
After waiting for a few minutes, the ghost crows returned to their positions and once again formed a plowing area with a diameter of 60 kilometers around the chariot.
This time, go diagonally downward.
Another day passed, and their total progress was less than 20%, but they arrived at the border of the world again.
This time it's the seabed.
Everyone is used to it now. Since we can't resist, we can only enjoy the journey.
So when they saw the bottom of the sea, everyone started talking enthusiastically.
“So there’s an ocean floor?”
"I thought the seabed, like the surface, was obscured by something invisible. It turns out there's mud. But this mud looks dead. There's no marine life living on it."
"The soil is white, and from a scientific point of view, it has almost no nutrients."
"It's a dead sea. It's hard to imagine how we humans can survive in such an environment. The seabed environment is too harsh."
The more you understand, the more you realize how difficult the predicament facing humanity is.
At this time, even some people who lacked foresight began to come to their senses and understood why Wei Huan was so stubborn in searching for this road.
"I can only say that leaders have different perspectives than we do. Every day when I open my eyes, I only think about how to earn DKP to buy equipment, but some people have already been thinking about the future of humanity."
"This is a road test, with a time limit. Should we say it's due to skill and courage?"
"I was really scared of the time limit at first, but now I don't know why I'm not scared anymore. Wei Huan has long taken control of his own destiny. He won't put himself in real danger."
"That's right. Before entering the sixth-level world, he obtained another artifact fragment. Is he almost collecting the complete artifact? For a big shot like this, all you need to do is follow him. No need to ask any more questions."
"I also want the artifact..."
"I don't want to think about the artifact anymore. I just want to know when I can get in the boss's car."
"The conductor should interact more with the big guys, but it's a pity that our conductor is a woman."
"Men won't work either. Look at Boss Mu. Is he just an ordinary person? A hundred of you and I can't match him. With his abilities, looks, and family background, I heard that they were friends in times of trouble. If it weren't for Boss Mu, Boss Mu would have failed the initial assessment."
"Boss Mu is a double-sequence pilot and owns a professional pilot training ground. All the mechas on Blue Star are now sourced from Boss Mu. He said production would be suspended for half a month for this assessment, and all the nations are crying their eyes out, praying for Boss Mu to pass the assessment."
"These two are both powerful people, so there's no need to even think about honey traps or anything like that."
"Hahaha……"
The seabed probably doesn't reach the edge of the world, so there aren't many undercurrents, but there are many more world monsters lurking in the mud than in other places.
These monsters will not only lurk, but will also organize joint actions with their own kind to form an encirclement in front of them, and then launch an attack after all of them have entered the encirclement.
Logically speaking, there should be no living creatures in this dead seabed. Perhaps these monsters have adapted to such an environment, or perhaps they were temporarily thrown in for the purpose of testing them.
But no matter what it was, it couldn't stop Wei Huan and the others.
Wei Huan was too lazy to kill these world monsters, which could be called minions, and just drove his car into them.
Monsters scattered throughout the world have no guaranteed kill aggro, so they will only track you for a certain distance before escaping the battle and returning.
There are not many treasure chests on the seabed, but there are various ruins.
Wei Huan had wasted some time in the past two days in order to explore the world's borders, so he decided to only explore ruins above the gold level. Since only one or two gold-level ruins could be seen in a day, the travel speed would be greatly increased.
Everything went smoothly.
There were no dark beasts blocking the way, and with Wei Huan's strength, he was like a fish in water in such a world. He opened boxes and killed monsters, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
They had already surpassed the 80th line half an hour ago. After successfully securing the bottom line, they are now heading towards the final boss.
As long as they kill the final boss, they will officially enter the level six world. At the same time, the Dark Beast Clan will also be notified, and the level six opening battle will begin.
Let’s not talk about the news that all mankind will like to hear, how shocked the Dark Beast Tribe will be when they get it, let’s just talk about Wei Huan, he has also gained a lot in the past few days.
On average, I open one gold treasure chest a day, and I open so many silver treasure chests that I am tired of them. However, there are fewer low-level treasure chests.
In addition, they did not encounter any platinum or diamond-level treasure chests along the way. Wei Huan guessed that it was because they were too well-behaved this time and did not take any dangerous routes, so they did not encounter any high-level supplies.
What a pity.
Wei Huan always thought that the supplies in the highway assessment were given for free, and that there would definitely be high-level treasure chests in them.
If you can find a platinum treasure chest in ten days, you will make a lot of money. Not to mention that there must be more than one platinum treasure chest on this road. Maybe there is even a diamond-level treasure chest in some hidden corner.
Without encountering any of these, they had already crossed the 80th line.
The possibility of encountering a high-level treasure chest after that will be much lower.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. What do you think the final boss is?"
"It must be a monster that has reached the current world's advanced combat capability."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were talking. Since they couldn't open the high-level treasure chest, it was all in the past and they could only let it go. They couldn't go back and continue looking.
Now the important thing is to successfully defeat the final boss.
"In the past, the Dark Beasts would send out royal lords to build cities at the end of the level, and when the world challenged them, they were tacitly acknowledged as the final bosses." Mu Zhong and Wei Huan analyzed, "This time, we're ahead of the curve, and the Dark Beast Lords haven't come in. The final boss might be a gold one, or one above gold level. While that won't yield as much as a treasure chest, it will drop level 7 core materials."
Wei Huan nodded: "If you think about it this way, it's not a bad deal. Level 7 core materials are extremely valuable at any time."
"But if it's just a boss, it would be easy for us to kill it. With our strength, the difficulty lies in finding high-level treasure chests. This boss at the end of the level is a reward delivered to our doorstep."
"That's right."
After chatting like this, the depression that was already in their hearts disappeared.
There is still a lot of time. When you reach the sixth level world and there is no time limit, you can explore freely and you will find high-level supplies sooner or later.
The most important thing is that at present, only they can open the high-level treasure chests. Even if the pioneers come in half a year and find the high-level treasure chests, we must tell them, otherwise it will take a long time for us to open it.
When Wei Huan opens a treasure chest, he will also be given a considerable amount of information fee.
"Anyway, take your time." Mu Zhong finished his conversation and suddenly changed the subject, "How's your cultivation going? Is it going more smoothly?"
Speaking of this, Wei Huan's face frowned and there was some sadness in his eyes.
