Mu family
Chapter 106
"Gululu..." Mu Zhong opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He quickly spat out the foam before saying, "You just woke up too? Entered the Professional Temple?"
Wei Huan nodded, looked at Mu Zhong intently for a few seconds, then turned and left.
On the way, the smart butler detected that he had woken up and reported, "This morning, drivers Liu Chengzhi, Ding Qi, Gu Jiayang, and Teng Xiyang have all requested to return. Do you want to allow them to return?"
Wei Huan didn't have the energy to answer it. He rushed into the public restroom on the first floor with a cold face and closed the door with a bang.
The world became quiet.
Unbeknownst to him, the smart butler said to Mu Zhong the next second, "Good morning, Deputy Captain. The Captain ignored my inquiries due to an over-inflated bladder. According to the rules, I need to ask you again. This morning..."
Mu Zhong's mouth was filled with foam and he couldn't straighten his back from laughing.
After a while, he said, "Butler, there's no rush for the crew's return. We'll probably meet on Blue Star next time. Now, what I want to teach you is that if you encounter similar physiological problems again, such as an overly distended bladder, I suggest you keep silent."
"Why?" The smart butler's voice suddenly changed to a cute childish one. "But when attendants Liu Chengzhi, Jiayang, and Lin Xu were processing undigested food, they would specifically ask me to chat with them."
“…” It seemed as if I had accidentally heard some strange information.
When Wei Huan came back, Mu Zhong pretended to know nothing, and after washing up, they returned to Blue Star together.
The sky on Blue Star is bright.
There is no one at the Mu family. Commander Mu and Professor Zhou both have jobs, and Xixi has to go to kindergarten every day.
But there was a note left on the dining table, telling them that breakfast for two people was left in the kitchen and how to heat up different breakfasts. Professor Zhou's handwriting was elegant and generous, and every stroke revealed meticulousness and patience.
Mu Zhong went to heat up breakfast, and Wei Huan took out his phone to check the WeChat group.
The fastest team member to arrive is Ding Qi, who will be at the Beijing airport at 12 noon, but the person we will meet the fastest should be Liu Chengzhi, because he is from Beijing.
Liu Chengzhi kept calling in the WeChat group.
"Boss, are you guys back in the car? Let me go too!"
[Boss, when will you guys come out so we can have breakfast together? ]
[Boss, when will you guys come out? Let's have lunch together!]
[It’s out.] Wei Huan first replied to Liu Chengzhi’s message.
Then he tagged Liu Chengzhi and Ding Qi, saying, "Wait for Ding Qi to arrive and have lunch together."
Then he tagged Zhou Yong and Lin Xu, "How's Xu Qingqiang? Is he awake?"
After three messages were sent out in succession, the group immediately became lively.
Liu Chengzhi said, "Boss, I'm going to the airport now. I'll pick up Ding Qi and then pick you up. Let's go to a private restaurant for lunch. The food won't be as good as mine, hahaha."
Lin Xu said, "Brother Qiang hasn't woken up yet, but I've seen him and he seems quite normal. He has some regular aura about him, so I'm afraid he's about to advance to Sequence Four."
Wei Huan replied to Liu Chengzhi: "Okay."
He called Lin Xu and said, "When he wakes up, have him contact me to apply for return. There's a criminal's fourth-tier core potion in the car's warehouse, a reward for his contribution in the war. The other materials are relatively easy to collect. We'll discuss this when we meet."
After hearing this, Lin Xu excitedly said "good" many times, and finally said with a hint of emotion, "Boss Wei, you are a fair and good boss. Brother Qiang is very capable, but he never had the opportunity to show his abilities. It was you who gave him the opportunity and also gave him such valuable core materials. Brother Qiang may not be good at speaking, and his words are stinky and unpleasant, but I know he is truly grateful for giving him the platform to display his abilities. These past few days are the happiest I've seen him."
Wei Huan's eyes softened, though his tone remained firm: "Everyone is treated the same. There are rewards and punishments. If you contribute, you will naturally be rewarded."
"Yes, I know. We will also work hard to improve ourselves, find our own position on the car, and integrate into the car as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Zhong came out without him knowing when. Breakfast was on the table and he was sitting at the dining table, smiling at him.
Mu Zhong said, "Brother Qiang's words are foul and unpleasant to the ear. I think you're not bad either. When it was so easy to win people's hearts, you cut off the conversation with a few harsh words."
Wei Huan: “…”
Mu Zhong then handed the chopsticks to Wei Huan and said, "Okay, I'll talk more about Brother Qiang. We also need to plan the positions of Lin Xu and Zhou Yong in the car. I'll let you know when we've finalized this. Let's eat first."
Wei Huan nodded, picked up the first bun and put it into Mu Zhong's bowl.
Mu Zhong's eyebrows curved: "Bribe me?"
"Yeah." Wei Huan served Mu Zhong more porridge and placed it neatly next to him.
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the pickles: "I want to eat that."
Wei Huan picked up the pickles and placed them in front of Mu Zhong. He leaned forward, his face close to Mu Zhong's. When their eyes met, they smiled.
An ordinary breakfast, some weird jokes, but I am extremely happy for no reason.
Wei Huan suddenly understood what it meant to be "full of love".
Wherever Mu Zhong is, even the temperature of the air seems to change subtly.
Breakfast turned into lunch. After cleaning up the dishes, Mu Zhong called his parents and they went out together.
Liu Chengzhi went to pick up Ding Qi and it would take some time for him to come back.
The two of them went out at this time because cousin Mu drove directly downstairs.
There was a brand new black SUV parked downstairs with a new license plate and not a single scratch on the car.
It was all because Liu Chengzhi said in the group that he wanted to pick up Wei Huan, which reminded Mu's cousin that Wei Huan didn't even have a means of transportation on Blue Star. So he asked the Mu family for a car, which was quickly allocated.
When Cousin Mu handed the car keys to Wei Huan, he said, "The things that can be bought with Daxia coins are just small things. Just take them. They are just a means of transportation."
Wei Huan thought about it and took the car keys. He really needed a car now.
Because of Mu Zhong, he did not reject the Mu family's goodwill towards him. This was a mutually beneficial thing. Moreover, the pattern of the head of the Mu family and the family rules of unity made him feel good about it.
He is also willing to associate with such a family.
As for this car and the two road guard vehicles sent by the Mu family, he had already thought about the value of the return.
Seeing Wei Huan take the car, cousin Mu's tense face relaxed.
"I've already asked Liu Chengzhi where to eat. Let's go there first. I'll drive."
…
It was an hour later when I saw Liu Chengzhi and Ding Qi again.
It was already past dinner time, but the kitchen staff were still there and took away the dishes when they came.
Although it was their first meeting on Blue Star, both parties were not strangers at all, especially Liu Chengzhi, who was talkative and enthusiastic, and his voice filled the entire meal.
But Wei Huan's attention was more focused on Ding Qi.
Ding Qi was one of the team leaders in his previous life. For about half a year, he had been following Ding Qi's orders, guarding a supply point on the third-level highway and occasionally exploring a ruin.
Ding Qi is not a talkative person, but with a "lubricant" like Liu Chengzhi in the car, everyone has a good relationship.
But on an ordinary morning, they received a transfer order from their superiors. Ding Qi and another teammate in the car were ordered to report to the supply point under the charge of the Northwest Corps. The remaining three stayed where they were, waiting for the new captain.
After breakfast, they parted ways, not knowing at the time that it would be a farewell forever.
Not long after, the obituaries of Ding Qi and another teammate were sent in. They died in the battle to defend the city.
Wei Huan clearly remembered that the situation of humans on Blue Star was already a bit difficult at that time.
After the Dark Beast reached level five, its relentless pursuit of the Northeastern Legion played a huge role in reversing the situation in this civilized battle.
The subsequent ancient battlefield allowed the dark beasts to further expand their advantage.
After that, humans became extremely passive on the battlefield. High-level tanks and soldiers died in large numbers. In the end, even these third-level professionals were deployed to the front line, allowing him to witness a nightmarish future with his own eyes.
Every time Wei Huan sees Ding Qi, he thinks of many things, even though he knows that a lot has changed in this life and the future will definitely not be the same as he remembers.
But even so, he couldn't hide the sadness and anger deep in his eyes.
Finally, Wei Huan's turbulent emotions attracted Mu Zhong's attention.
His eyes moved back and forth between Wei Huan and Ding Qi's faces, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously tightened.
After lunch, everyone wanted to find a place to drink tea and chat to pass the time, but later they found that no place was as comfortable as their own car.
Wei Huan brought everyone into the car and allowed the crew members to enter and exit the tank at will.
In this way, Ding Qi no longer needs to find a place to live. He can live in the car for a few days and wait for the procedures at the corps to be completed. Then he can report to the Northeast Army with Wei Huan and others.
Liu Chengzhi was the first to leave in the afternoon, saying that he was going to accompany his grandmother and had an appointment with a childhood friend in the evening, so he left.
Wei Huan, Mu Zhong and cousin Mu didn't stay long. Since they had agreed to have dinner with the Mu family tonight, they naturally had to go early.
Ding Qi was left alone in the car. She summoned her three pets to keep her company, waved to everyone, and seemed quite happy.
When they returned to Blue Star and got in the car, Wei Huan discovered that Mu Zhong was a little silent.
But as a very typical straight man, he certainly wouldn't think too much about it.
The place where they met with the Mu family was a very famous club in the capital. When Wei Huan and his friends arrived, the Mu family was already there.
The head of the Mu family is an old man who is almost 70 years old. Although he does not look well, there is a gleam of wisdom in his eyes and he is very kind to Wei Huan.
The other members of the Mu family also showed no airs. They were like the elders of the family, caring and concerned about each other, giving guidance and guidance, and repeatedly reminding others when they talked about something inappropriate.
Among the people brought by the Mu family was the fourth-level driver who had helped Wei Huan a lot in the third-level highway assessment.
His name is Mu Zirui. He was originally the highest person in charge of the Mu family on the secondary highway. He was responsible for the training of family members, as well as exploration on the secondary highway and collecting resources for the Mu family.
At its peak, the Mu family controlled the mining rights to the remains of five highways and sheltered more than 10,000 challengers. Every year, they signed a large number of talents to become the backbone of the Mu group.
Mu Zirui is even a generation older than Mu Zheng, and is an outstanding descendant of Commander Mu's generation.
Now, in order to help Wei Huan pass the test smoothly, the Mu family arranged Mu Zirui and his car to participate in the highway test, which can be said to be a considerable price paid.
Wei Huan was grateful. When the atmosphere was the best and most appropriate, suddenly everyone's cell phones started ringing.
This situation usually means that Challenge World has sent a message.
Everyone was too busy chatting to pick up their phones to check.
It turns out that the final results of the third-level highway assessment are out!
Last night, Wei Huan and his team killed the Dark Beast Lord and officially passed the third-level assessment, which was half a day slower than the normal end of the challenge world.
After all, we brought so many vehicles, and the expected goal was the last day, which is the 11th day of challenging the world.
After clearing the level, the [Champion List] will be updated on the spot, and a golden treasure chest will be directly distributed as a reward.
The remaining rankings will not be awarded until 6:00 p.m. on the 11th day, after all challengers have left.
Now comes the exciting award ceremony!
【Combat Power Ranking】
First place Wei Huan Racing Team
Second place Qi Jialu Racing Team
Third place: Mu Zirui Racing Team
…
It is not surprising that Wei Huan topped the overall combat power list. Qi Jialu only has one platinum equipment on her until now, and even Xu Qingqiang, who just got on the car on Wei Huan's side, has changed to platinum equipment, not to mention the dazzling gold equipment and the extremely rare pseudo-magic weapon in the challenge world.
Not to mention compared with the fourth-level vehicles, even compared with the fifth-level vehicles, Wei Huan is better than them in terms of combat power and equipment.
This is also the reason why Wei Huan can easily cross levels and kill the dark beast.
The equipment is amazing.
【Vehicle Performance Ranking】
First place Qi Jialu Team
Second place: Wei Huan Racing Team
Third place: Mu Zirui Racing Team
…
He tragically lost a golden treasure chest and lost to Qi Jialu in vehicle performance.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other, and Mu Zhong smiled comfortingly at him.
There was no way around it. Upgrading Wei Huan's car from level three to level four was equivalent to cheating. He relied on the resources of the Mu family and the Northeast Army. It was just a basic level four car.
If they hadn't opened a platinum treasure chest in the middle of the assessment and obtained a blueprint for a level five tire, they might not even have made it into the top three.
【Scoreboard】
First place Wei Huan Racing Team
Second place: Mu Zirui Racing Team
Third place Qi Jialu Racing Team
…
The scoreboard is based on accumulated points. The more than 10,000 points Wei Huan received as a reward from the random challenge are still very useful today.
This also shows that, apart from the challengers specially arranged by the military, no private forces or individuals are willing to take random challenges and risks.
But if you want to accumulate points by killing dark beasts on ordinary roads, even for leaders of forces like Qi Jialu and Mu Zirui, the points are very limited.
99% of the famous "killing gods" on the leaderboard are military personnel, including those from Daxia and foreign soldiers.
Containing the enemy's manpower is a strategic task. No matter how dangerous it is, someone has to do it, and more people will sacrifice for it.
Finally, there is the life list.
The first place still belongs to Wei Huan Team.
After all, the life list is closely related to the points list in some aspects. Without enough points, you cannot upgrade the micro world.
The microscopic world is a very important part of the life ranking score.
In addition, Ding Qi's points, as well as the twins and Sun Yiling's microscopic world, are all counted in Wei Huan's car.
Cultivating the strength of the crew is also one of the ways to improve the overall strength of the vehicle.
There are five gold treasure chests on the list, but I only took four this time.
Wei Huan didn't really have any regrets. Rather than standing still for a few treasure chests, he wanted to rush forward as quickly as possible and contribute his own strength on the battlefield.
But even so, this achievement made the Mu family happy as if they had received a reward.
They came over to toast and praised: "Heroes have always emerged from youth!"
"The Mu family is fortunate to have you!"
"Okay, okay, let's have a drink first. I wish you a successful career!"
Mu Zirui also came over with a glass of wine. After clinking glasses with Wei Huan, he smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you this time. When you want to upgrade your car and expand your team, remember to contact me."
"You want to get in the car?" Wei Huan was a little surprised.
Mu Zirui nodded: "Is it okay?"
Wei Huan said, "Okay."
When the lively scene died down a little, Mu Zhong and Wei Huan looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Mu Zhong then approached the head of the Mu family and said, "Grandpa, Wei Huan said we can't come empty-handed on our first meeting, but you have everything you need from Blue Star, so we brought some stuff for challenging the world. Where's your phone? I'll trade it to you."
"No use." The head of the Mu family laughed, but did not refuse. After all, there was such a statement, and he deserved it.
As soon as the supplies were distributed, the head of the Mu family's eyes bulged out.
One platinum-level item, four gold-level equipment, plus a bunch of valuable materials.
A rough calculation shows that the challenge materials are close to 1 billion Daxia coins.
so much! ?
He knew that Wei Huan had a lot of good stuff, and he also thought about preparing to get one or two gold-level equipment.
But he didn't want more. He trained Wei Huan not to be a vampire and covet the supplies he provided, but to hope that after he really grew up, he could protect the Mu family and ensure stability in this chaotic world.
Now that Wei Huan took out such high-value materials in one go, in the eyes of the head of the Mu family, this was not a good thing.
The more Wei Huan took, the more he had to repay the favor and distance himself from the Mu family.
But the head of the Mu family's gaze finally fell on Mu Zhong's smiling face, and he also realized that Wei Huan took out these things not just to repay a favor.
Although there were various reasons for the two children's union and they were both men, it was obvious that there was a real friendship between them.
It seems that these challenge supplies are more than just returning a favor.
"Hahaha, good! You guys are so thoughtful!"
The head of the Mu family immediately decided to accept these supplies, and even said in front of the most core members of the Mu family, "Platinum-grade materials, real stones, are in short supply. There is also gold equipment that increases different attributes such as spiritual power, strength, agility, and endurance. Finally, add the gold-grade supplies. These things are enough to double our Mu family's resources."
As the head of the Mu family read out these supplies, the bigwigs of the Mu family held their breath, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Can four pieces of gold equipment be given out at once?
And that platinum-grade real stone, if I remember correctly, seems to be the core material of the "Gambler Sequence" Sequence 5?
One of the "Warrior, Priest, and Mage" triad, a Sequence Five of the Rogue class! How long had the Mu family been waiting for this core material? They didn't expect it to be delivered right now!
In this way, the Mu family finally has the foundation to enter the fifth-level highway.
For a large family, being unable to keep up with the Legion and always staying in the first echelon is a manifestation of falling into the second-rate family.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the family has been depressed recently, and many people have suggested that they should make a desperate effort to send Commander Mu back to the core of power.
Who would have thought that today, right now, a young man who still needed care and protection in their hearts would hand over the most precious thing to them.
For a moment, everyone looked at Wei Huan and Mu Zhong with passionate eyes, as if they were looking at lovers.
There were also people who were full of admiration for the head of the Mu family. It was because he adhered to the family rules and treated others with sincerity that he received a huge reward today.
The revival of the Mu family is not far away! !
An elder from the Mu family approached Wei Huan with jealous eyes. Wei Huan recognized him and said he was a direct uncle of the Mu family's patriarch. Under the influence of alcohol, he took Wei Huan's hand and asked him, "I heard that two people have left your car. My youngest son became a challenger last year and is now also a Sequence Three..."
But before he could finish his words, he was dragged away by someone nearby.
Three minutes later, this uncle was called to the side of the head of the Mu family to be scolded.
The Mu family has already got two people on the car. If there are more people, it won’t be helping and it will cause resentment. The Mu family must not arrange for more people to get on the car in the near future.
The uncle was scolded and understood the head of the family's concerns, but he also had his own plans.
Wei Huan's car will be upgraded to level 5 or 6 sooner or later, and it will be able to accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. By then, there will definitely be a seat for the Mu family.
They arranged the younger generations to ride on the bus not because they wanted to control Wei Huan, but on the contrary, they hoped that their descendants would be valued by Wei Huan.
I think Wei Huan will sooner or later be at the forefront and become a rare and important figure. Those who follow him are destined to achieve extraordinary success in the future.
The uncles and elders of the Mu family already paid enough attention to Wei Huan, but after meeting him today, their attention only increased.
As a result, General Mu, who was already the "dragon horn" of the Mu family, also became the shining star today, surrounded by circles again and again.
The dinner was over and everyone dispersed. Commander Mu got into Wei Huan's car.
Slightly tipsy, he smiled and said, "I met Commander Chai today and was told that my car and I will be returned soon. The suffering is finally over, thanks to you two."
Mu Zhong was curious: "How much power was transferred?"
"Four level five vehicles, 33 level five professionals. These are all challengers I personally trained. When they return, I am confident that I can double this number before the Ancient Battlefield opens!"
Wei Huan calculated secretly.
Doesn’t this mean that after I hand over the star beast skins, Daxia will have about 50 level five vehicles?
This force is already very great.
In the previous life, humans with only 4 to 5 level 5 vehicles managed to withstand the attacks of the Dark Beast Legion for more than half a month.
This time it has increased tenfold, or maybe even more, so the outcome probably won’t be too bad.
After thinking this, Mu Zhong said, "I have an idea. Let's see if it works. The Ancient Battlefield will open in ten days. We might be able to use this time to do something that will affect the morale of the Dark Beasts.
For example, if we go to slaughter them in the novice area, this bad news will definitely have an impact on the ancient battlefield."
Wei Huan and Commander Mu both raised their eyebrows when they heard this.
Zhou Xian covered Xixi's ears and whispered in her ear, but Xixi still pushed her mother's hands away and listened attentively. Her bright eyes were full of hatred for the dark beast.
Zhou Xian sighed inwardly when she thought of something, but did not stop her.
Commander Mu sobered up a bit at this suggestion. "Random battlefield? So you're going in?"
Mu nodded. "We had this plan originally. We discussed it with Wei Huan during the highway assessment. There are too many things in our car that need upgrading. The smart butler and the microcosm are the biggest ones. In addition, some crew members need to exchange DKP for materials, which we need to exchange for points. Slaughtering the Dark Beast region and putting psychological pressure on the Dark Beast leaders is just killing two birds with one stone."
Commander Mu also had concerns: "What if it's exciting? Will it make them even crazier?"
Mu Zhong smiled: "That only means that we didn't kill enough people, nor were we cruel enough to leave any psychological scars."
Commander Mu was stunned for a moment. This was indeed the logic.
"I know your strength, but I also know that Wei Huan suffered a great loss this time. How about this, I'll help you apply for something. I've always felt that it's very suitable for Wei Huan."
"What? A way to remove the cooldown of weakness? Or a divine weapon?" Mu Zhong said jokingly.
Commander Mu glared at him and said, "Not long ago, I led my troops to open a platinum treasure chest, and inside it fell an energy storage tank. It can..."
"Energy tank!?" Mu Zhong was surprised.
Even Wei Huan, who was driving, couldn't help but glance at Commander Mu in the rearview mirror.
"Do you know what it is?" Commander Mu asked again to confirm.
Mu Zhong nodded with shining eyes. "Yes, we opened a platinum treasure chest. For Wei Huan, it's not just useful, but extremely useful, comparable to a divine weapon. If it weren't for it, we probably wouldn't have been able to finish the final boss battle in such a short time."
After hearing this, Commander Mu immediately took it seriously. "I just guessed it would be useful to you, but I didn't expect it to be so useful. Okay, send me directly to the military headquarters later. I can only sleep well after I have finalized this matter."
Mu nodded, also looking forward to it: "Shall I go with you?"
"Goodbye, go home and be with your mother and Xixi. They miss you too."
Mu Zhong stopped talking and met Xixi's gaze. As soon as he opened his arms, the little girl nimbly crawled over and snuggled into his arms.
This scene made Wei Huan look at it a few more times. Looking at the smile on Mu Zhong's face and the dependence and admiration in the little girl's eyes, he felt a little bit of family at this moment.
Wei Jinhong destroyed his expectations of family, and now being held back by Mu Zhong prevented him from becoming even more broken.
The car went around to the headquarters and dropped off Commander Mu, then returned to the compound.
At home, Mu Zhong played Lego with Xixi, and Zhou Xian cut some fruit for Wei Huan and sat next to him.
The few of them chatted for a long time, and it was far past the time when Commander Mu should have returned, so Zhou Xian picked up her phone and called him.
Commander Mu answered the phone, his tone a little bad: "I have something to do. I may not be back tonight. You guys should rest first."
Zhou Xian said, "What's wrong?"
Commander Mu didn't say anything, which meant that it was a military matter and even Zhou Xian shouldn't know about it.
The smile on Mu Zhong's face faded, and he said, "Mom, give me the phone."
Mu Zhong took the phone and went to the bedroom, where he could hear vague conversations.
After talking for a while, Mu Zhong came out with a bad look on his face. He said to Zhou Xian and Xixi, "It's getting late. We still have training at the Professional Temple today, so we'll go back first. We should be up normally tomorrow morning, so we can have breakfast together then."
Zhou Xian nodded and picked up her daughter: "Let's go, Xixi, brush your teeth and go to bed."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other and then went back to the car.
"What happened?" Wei Huan had just returned to the car and didn't even have time to open the treasure chest. He looked at Mu Zhong with a serious expression.
He could guess that something big must have happened.
