Chapter 338 Arrival! Level 8 Assessment Highway!
When everyone was in place, Wei Huan spoke first: "First of all, welcome, I'm Wei Huan."
Then, in his usual concise style, he said, "Now is not the time to rest, and there is nothing to celebrate. I hope you can quickly adapt to your new roles and new jobs in the tank and complete the running-in process as soon as possible.
Next, we will enter the eighth level world in a short time. Follow me closely, improve where you need to, work hard where you need to, and don't fall behind."
After saying that, Wei Huan turned and looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong had a look of astonishment on his face, and he smiled as he replied to Wei Huan: "Everyone knows Commander Wei's temper. He doesn't talk nonsense, so every word is important and should be implemented as the core idea at hand.
As for me, I talk a lot and have a lot to say. If you don’t understand something, you can ask me. If you can’t keep up, you must tell me. After two years of getting along with you in World of Warcraft, I treat you as brothers. I hope you can all keep up and go to the level eight world together.
Okay, now I'm going to start talking about the serious stuff, including the rules in the chariot and the responsibilities of each department. It's going to be long and there are no stools, but I'll stand with you all, so listen carefully..."
Wei Huan handed the place over to Mu Zhong and went to find the director.
The old man’s class has not yet ended. Leading 100,000 people and leading 10,000 people are two different concepts. Wei Huan benefits a lot from every conversation with the old man.
However, when they were in the Monster World, Mr. Ju did not follow them. Instead, he stayed in the chariot, parked in the void, and occasionally returned to Blue Star to visit his family and friends.
The elder was old, and his cultivation talent was lacking. Under the nourishment of the World Tree, he finally managed to reach Sequence 4. If it weren't for his responsibility to guide Emperor Wei Huancheng, he wouldn't have needed to follow the chariot and take such risks.
After years of teaching, Wei Huan also regarded him as a teacher and relative, and respected him very much.
While Mu Zhong was speaking at the podium, Wei Huan talked with the director and several other elders, or just listened to them talk, and benefited a lot from it.
Finally, the three-hour conference ended. When Wei Huan saw Mu Zhong leaving the podium, he also offered tea to the bureau elders and others and prepared to say goodbye.
The downstairs had returned to its lively state, and the sounds of the newlyweds chatting happily could be heard.
"It's finally here! My dream car!"
"Is this the boss's tank? It's clearly the same level as Deputy Jacques's tank, but why is it so different and special in every way?"
"This is the aura of kingship!"
"Stupid! Didn't you notice the rich natural power in this chariot? Did you forget? There is another World Tree on this chariot! If you can carry the World Tree on the chariot, let alone our Blue Star human race, I'm afraid there won't be many on the battlefield of all races, right?"
"Right, right, right. Not only is the World Tree here, but Chef Liu is also here. I heard that you can practice by eating, and your attribute points will increase rapidly. It's simply an easy win!"
"See that dark room in the air? It's the Dark Source brought back from the Dark Beast World. It's a blessing for dark professions! It will make your cultivation more efficient!"
"My life is worth it..."
"Yes, I am already satisfied to be able to come to this chariot and become the boss's soldier."
"I'm different. I want to be a strong man like Brother Qiang, Captain Xue, and Brother Chui, or even Captain Chang, or Vice Captain Frank. Anyway, I'm already here, and I'll use this place as a platform to strive for success!"
"Ah! Wait, were we moving forward during the meeting?" Suddenly, a strange cry came from nowhere, followed by someone howling, "Everyone, go to the balcony and look! The legendary plowing the ground to open the treasure chest!!"
"What about plowing the land to open a treasure chest?! This is what I've always wanted to see!"
"Come on! Come and see!"
Wei Huan paused with the teacup that was about to reach his mouth, and looked at the smiling Bureau Chief.
The old man said: "When it's time to take action, take action. I haven't seen you group-farming treasure chest monsters for a long time."
Wei Huan raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, saying, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Outside the chariot, gray snow has been falling. Sister Crow and her tribe have transformed into a huge sieve with a diameter of more than 150 kilometers, just like at the beginning, and kept opening any treasure chests they came across.
The treasure chest monsters that challenge the world will never stop chasing. After being triggered by the ghost crow, they will keep chasing their summoner Wei Huan, that is, behind this chariot.
Mu Zhong spoke for three hours, and the chariot drove non-stop for three hours. While a large amount of supplies appeared on the system list, a large number of treasure chest monsters also gathered behind the chariot.
Most of these treasure chest monsters are the same as the alien races seen in the monster world and the demon world, including the galloping bull monsters, winged demons, flying Pegasus, and giant demons like dragons.
The seventh-level world is the "Mountain and Sea World". In the words of the Daxia people, this world is a "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the monsters that appear before our eyes are all those described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
They are all monsters and demons, but even the youngest newcomer, once they have entered the blessed land, will see obvious differences beneath their similar appearance.
In the real world of the blessed land, even the smallest animals and insignificant blades of grass are alive, full of energy and active souls, and have an endless future.
But these monsters that appeared in the challenge world were completely the opposite. No matter how real they looked, they were like painted skins, empty inside and emitting a foul stench. Their souls were long gone.
Wei Huan killed so many treasure chest monsters, but never saw a soul.
Whether human or alien, once they die while challenging the world, they will be swallowed up by this world, and will eventually be reduced to tools of trial and can never be freed.
However, among these monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are also some unexpected monsters.
A newcomer was the first to discover the abnormality.
"What is that? Look at that skull dragon, is it the boss's summon?"
"It seems there are no dragons in the boss's summoned army."
"That's right. The army that the boss summoned were all the undead spirits of the dead dark beasts. These undead spirits are not like that. Look, isn't there a human-shaped undead spirit over there?"
"real!"
"Where, where?"
"What's going on? I remember someone saying that the boss doesn't control the human undead. This human undead wasn't summoned by the boss, right?"
Wei Huan had also seen the human undead that were the focus of everyone's attention, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
The eighth-level world was completely different from what he had imagined.
There is a rule for challenging the world. Opening the treasure chest can reveal the secret of the next world.
Treasure chests below gold level only contain elites and leaders among the survivors, so there are naturally more monsters and demons in the mountain and sea world.
Treasure chests of gold or above will definitely reveal king-level descendants and leaders from the eighth-level world.
Among the group of monsters and demons following the car, there are figures of undead. There is no doubt that the next world may be the "Kingdom of the Dead".
It is hard to imagine that the eighth-level world that is about to reach the end of evolution is actually a world of the undead?
Wei Huan was not happy about the appearance of the undead. Instead, countless ideas popped up in his mind, but because they could not be confirmed, he had to suppress them.
Especially when he saw the human-shaped undead that came out of the treasure chest, he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
He already knew that Heroic Spirits were a kind of spiritual resonance. The appearance of Heroic Spirits could only be that they came to you, rather than you having to find them yourself. They had their own will.
Even though he majored in the way of death and played with souls, he would never be able to see them if he did not gain the recognition of the heroic spirits.
Wei Huan knew that if he brought back the heroic spirits of Xishan, his strength would definitely increase dramatically. The heroic spirits with righteous indignation had an absolute restraining effect on the undead.
But in the end, Wei Huan did not disturb the heroes' eternal sleep. They had already paid enough and lifted up the sky of mankind in those difficult years.
The road to the future should be left to future generations, the young people who grow up under their protection.
What’s hateful is that their spirits live on, but their bodies are still challenging the world’s control.
The clothes that the human undead was wearing were exactly those of the humans on Blue Star. Although he came from the West with his brown hair and blue eyes, he was also a compatriot of Blue Star.
Just thinking about them having their bodies dominated by the Challenge World, appearing in the Dark Beast Lord's "Hero Pool", appearing in treasure chests, or appearing in any other way, Wei Huan felt a nameless fire in his heart.
His fellow tribesmen have not been liberated yet, and the world he is challenging has not been overturned. How can he not work hard?
Wei Huan no longer listened to the speculations from the newcomers. He released his anger, and a swarm of undead rushed towards the group of monsters, ending the three-hour pursuit.
Group brushing.
Easy to grasp.
Wei Huan's strength once again shocked the newcomers who had just boarded the bus, even though most of them had seen Wei Huan in action in the past two years and had even participated in the battle with the celestial demon.
The extreme strength of each individual and the group of monsters mixed in with the eighth-level world level give people a completely different feeling.
They watched as the treasure chests and supplies were unlocked one by one, appearing before their eyes like a screen full of messages, filling the entire warehouse.
Who wouldn’t be excited about visible rewards?
Especially when everyone discovered that with the fall of the Undead Bone Dragon, platinum-level equipment appeared along with other bronze and silver equipment, their breathing became heavier.
No matter how Boss Wei developed the ancient god equipment, humans themselves also had the ability to make pseudo-god-level equipment, but that was equipment that only the top group of people could obtain, and it was not their turn yet.
Only the gold, platinum, and even diamonds found in these treasure chests are the supplies they can exchange for DKP.
Before boarding the Wei Lao chariot, it was very difficult to obtain a piece of gold equipment in any legion, even the main team. You had to save up DKP and wait in line for the equipment to be opened.
It's nothing like the car here, where gold equipment is the most basic level. As long as you have enough DKP, you can exchange it for diamond-level equipment.
Such abundant supplies and high-level equipment are just like bait. They all curl their mouths up and just want to take a bite and not let go.
This future is really promising!
The last treasure chest monster fell down, and its body and blood disappeared. The chariot started again and set off. It patted its sleeves and left without a trace of cloud, leaving a clean ground.
This is completely different from the real world.
In the real world, there will be corpses left behind and blood all over the ground. The corpses will not only rot, but also pollute the land.
Wei Huan can even extract the souls of the dead for cultivation, and can also use the Netherworld energy condensed on the corpses to form the Netherworld Realm.
These are all impossible to achieve when challenging the world.
If Wei Huan had just practiced step by step in the Challenge World, he probably would not have reached Sequence Seven by now, and his understanding of the Netherworld would also be relatively shallow.
The chariot moved forward, and the ghost crow followed again. A new treasure chest was opened, and soon it appeared behind the chariot and followed it, repeating over and over again.
Low-level treasure chest monsters are often unable to follow a chariot that has reached level eight, but whenever they are out of combat, the Challenge World will teleport them directly in front of the chariot, and the fight will continue until they die.
Wei Huan was like this, sometimes he would clean up every three or four hours. If he encountered them practicing, sleeping, or doing other things, he would only kill them all after a day and a night of accumulation.
But even if a diamond-level monster appeared, it did not cause any trouble to Wei Huan.
His current strength has far exceeded the ceiling of this world and is an absolute crushing force.
Therefore, the reason why he is still in the seventh-level world is simply because the assessment has just ended and there is still half a year before the next assessment. He can't wait in the world during this half year. It would be very troublesome for 100,000 people to move back to the real world without chariots. Therefore, he gallops in the mountain and sea world day and night. Even if the supplies he obtains are of no use to him, he can give them to others.
While opening treasure chests, Wei Huan maintained the momentum of creating 100 level seven undead every half a month.
Mu Zhong seized the time to integrate the 100,000-strong team. Not all of them were combatants, but there were also some talents in cultural life, enriching their lives outside of training on the chariot.
During the past six months, two couples of veteran crew members tied the knot and held their weddings on the tanks.
The chariot is becoming more and more like a big home. There will be disputes and factions, but there is no doubt that when foreign enemies come, they have only one name, that is, the soldiers of the Grand Marshal of the Pioneer Army!
…
"Be careful, you are about to enter a Class 8 highway."
"Countdown begins, ten, nine... three, two, one!!"
As the last number sounded, Wei Huan and the others' eyes suddenly lit up, and then everything turned white and they could not see anything.
Wei Huan had never noticed it before, but now he found that even with his own strength, he couldn't see the surroundings clearly during the teleportation process.
This shows that when they were teleporting through space, they were involved in laws, and the laws were very profound, so ordinary practitioners could not get a glimpse of them.
From realizing the existence of laws in the fifth-level world to now entering the eighth-level world, the breath of laws has become stronger and stronger, omnipresent, suppressing everywhere, and using various means to make them walk on the path of laws.
To be honest, even though Challenging the World is extremely cruel and makes people want to overthrow and destroy it, its test of civilization can be seen to have good intentions.
I just don’t know what the outcome will be at the end of this road?
As the white light fell, Wei Huan's eyes quickly adapted and he could see the environment of the assessment road clearly in an instant.
This is a world shrouded in twilight. Both the sky and the grass and trees appear gray and dead, especially the gray dust covering them. It looks particularly familiar, reminding people of the gray snow in Sister Crow's Netherworld.
The air is indeed filled with the smell of death.
However, Wei Huan soon discovered that although it was the power of the underworld and the power of death, he could not use these laws.
It must be described. Just like if he feeds on bones, even rotten flesh and bones can still nourish him. Then the power of death in this world is like bones that have been dead for countless billions of years. They have become fossils. Apart from being placed here to see their former shapes, they have no nutrition and are meaningless.
Even Wei Huan felt an indescribable discomfort in this world, as if he was being pressed by something.
"Is this really the kingdom of the dead?" Mu Zhong also saw the appearance of this world clearly and asked, "Is it the same as your Great Tomb World?"
Wei Huan shook his head, it’s different.
He ignored the discomfort, endured the stuttering of his breath, and said, "This world is dead."
Mu Zhong didn't understand: "What's dead?"
Wei Huan said, "The law of death has become the framework of the world, no longer lingering in the atmosphere, invisible and intangible, yet nowhere to be found. In such a world, if you stay long enough, even the living will become dead."
Mu Zhong was surprised: "Is the world killing people?"
Wei Huan said, "I don't know either. It's not surprising that the living dead appear in this world."
"What are the living dead? Are they zombies? Or are they zombies? Are vampires considered the living dead?"
Wei Huan shook his head and nodded: "It's possible that it's both, or it's possible that it's neither."
Mu Zhong pondered and said, "Anyway, the consciousness is dead, but the body is still alive by instinct? Are those level eight monsters we encountered in the level seven world considered living dead? Skeletons don't count, but zombies do."
Wei Huan shook his head this time: "The walking dead don't count either. They are dead and resurrected, existing in the world in another form. The living dead are between life and death, not dead."
"The more I talk, the less I understand."
"Walk and see first, and you will understand when you see."
"good."
While Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were expressing their feelings, the other crew members in the chariot were also discussing the situation after seeing the world clearly.
"It really is the kingdom of the dead."
"We're on the boss's turf now. Can we rule the world like a tyrant?"
"Maybe we can fly just like that and reach the ninth level world."
"I'm not ready for what to do. If all the ninth-level worlds are at the level of the Heavenly Demons, I'm afraid we're still not good enough."
"Don't be afraid, I have the boss here. Let alone the ninth-level world, I'm not afraid even of the tenth-level world!"
There was a lot of discussion in the chariot, and everyone was full of confidence in Wei Huan.
After all, anyone who sees the appearance of this world will have increased confidence.
Mu Zhong thought so at first, and even talked about the topic of "living dead" with Wei Huan. When he stopped, he found that Wei Huan's expression was not right.
Wei Huan's face was very gloomy, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was a little pale.
This look obviously does not indicate a person is comfortable, but rather extremely nervous. But this is clearly the world of the dead, why?
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan.
Wei Huan, who had been trying to hold on, looked at Mu Zhong in confusion: "Don't you feel the pressure?"
"What kind of pressure? If you're talking about the environment's color tone and the suppression brought by the world level, then there is some."
"No." Wei Huan shook his head, but looking at Mu Zhong's expression, he quickly realized that their feelings were obviously different.
With Mu Zhong's intelligence, he also noticed Wei Huan's thoughts at the same time. He quickly contacted several core giants on the chariot and asked them.
Captain Xue, Hammer Brother, Big Foot and others felt the same as him. They felt the pressure of the world, but they did not feel like they had difficulty breathing.
However, Xu Qingqiang and Changle both said that they felt very uncomfortable in this world, much more uncomfortable than entering a new world in the past.
Jacques, who was also a dark type and was transformed into a fallen elf, shook his head and said, "No, I feel the same as Captain Xue and the others."
After asking around, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong had serious expressions. Mu Zhong said, "Find the Death Department in the car, or anyone who has dabbled in the Law of Death, and have them come over. And let them talk nonsense."
Mu Zhong immediately issued a gag order, but there was no need to hide it from the core group.
Amidst everyone's sudden nervousness, Mu Zhong said, "It seems this world has a suppressive power over challengers who also possess the power of death. Don't be nervous, everyone. This is easy to understand. Everything has a first come, first served order. This world has been taken over by the power of death, and the death system is a dominant and invasive system. It's normal to reject new death controllers. As long as we give everyone a chance to adapt, things will get better."
Mu Zhong then avoided the crowd and told Wei Huan alone, "Iron Heart told me this. The world's will is rejecting the death system. If you can't adapt to this world quickly, you will be invaded, infected, and dominated by the other side's death power.
You majored in the Law of Death, which makes you different from Brother Qiang and the others. Once you are invaded by the will of the world, you will..."
Mu Zhong paused and didn't want to say anything.
Wei Huan continued, "A living dead?"
Mu Zhong thought about it and added: "King of the Living Dead."
Wei Huan: “…”
This supplementary explanation really makes me want to complain.
Wei Huan paused before asking, "Is there a time limit?"
Mu Zhong shook his head: "Steel Heart doesn't know either. Invasion is the control of the energy of the law, and it is also a battle of willpower. Those with a strong will will inevitably persist longer."
Wei Huan, however, extracted the necessary information from this sentence and muttered to himself, "A contest of laws?"
The black cube floating on Mu Zhong's shoulder seemed to shake. Mu Zhong noticed something was wrong, looked down, and smiled.
When he looked up again, he winked at Wei Huan.
Wei Huan's lips curled slightly, it seemed that he had been tricked out of key information.
This man of steel will never release his eagle until he sees the rabbit, especially in the world of challenges, where he is as stubborn as a clam.
However, in front of Mu Zhong, these are not big problems. The system is indeed smart, but its cleverness lies in its massive database. It is far less flexible than the human brain, and it cannot avoid the "traps" set by Mu Zhong inadvertently. This allows them to often predict a lot of information in advance, and also allows Wei Huan, who does not have foresight, to avoid many mistakes.
Of course, Iron Heart would let the cat out of the bag because it was leaning towards humans. If it were another host, as long as it didn't speak, it wouldn't have to worry about whether it let the cat out of the bag.
Mu Zhong always has the ability to make people like him, even the system AI is no exception.
Wei Huan now has guidance and no longer has to grope his way through detours. Now that he knows which way to go, things become easy.
He said, "Let's go ahead and open the boxes slowly. First, understand the level of this world, and then decide on the next step."
Mu nodded: "Of course. Then, shall I suppress the matter about the Law of Death for now?"
Wei Huan was puzzled: "Why?"
Mu Zhong said, "Since we are competing for the rules, there must be more and less."
"You have so little confidence in me?" Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
