Liu Chengzhi gets on the car
Chapter 44
Afterwards, things became much calmer.
Without Shi Hengjun's people messing around in the chat room, there is no longer such a strong sense of hostility. Every day when I open the chat room, it is peaceful.
The news that "Boss Wei split the profits from the ruins 50-50 with everyone without cheating anyone" was spread through Zhang Tian's mouth.
Many people would contact Wei Huan immediately after discovering the ruins. If the ruins were not too far away, Wei Huan would go and take a look.
There are also many cases of rejection.
Wei Huan also wants to get the reward from [Champion Challenge].
In the second stage of the road track, the focus is still on survival, adventure, and racing.
[Champion Challenge] has become a nationwide competition. The first person to reach the finish line will still receive a gold treasure chest as a reward.
After completing the primary road challenge, Challenge World gave the challengers five days to rest and recuperate.
Wei Huan used these five days to go on a random challenge. He only stayed in the enclave for one night and returned to the car in the cemetery the next day.
They waited in the car for a day and entered the challenge world as soon as the Level 2 Highway Challenge was opened.
Since he was one of the first to come in, he certainly wanted to get the golden treasure chest.
While developing ruins and searching for treasure maps are important, the chests in the [Champion Challenge] are guaranteed to contain gold chests.
Even if he opened ten silver treasure chests, they would not be worth as much as one gold treasure chest.
So Wei Huan would ask the smart butler to analyze the situation. If it was really not cost-effective, he would have no choice but to refuse even if the coordinates were delivered to him.
Mu Zhong's enthusiasm for picking up junk has faded a little in the past two days. Finally, he no longer sits in the living room all day long taking apart parts.
Today I returned to the driving place and used the microscopic world to train my spiritual power. I saw Wei Huan talking about an invitation to the ruins again.
He said, "You can't win the speed championship and explore the ruins at the same time. If we win the speed championship, it's basically equivalent to giving up the right to explore this map. Plus, after crossing the finish line, you can't return to the stage, and can only explore the public areas in the second half. There's not much value in exploring the ruins."
Wei Huan nodded, "Go to the front early."
Mu Zhong had a slightly different opinion. "Second-level roads are of limited value, so it's fine if we don't stop there. But I suggest we stay a little longer on the third-level roads. They've given them a name. Do you know what it's called?"
"Fighting for the Central Plains?"
Mu Zhong laughed: "You know everything. Yes, fighting for the Central Plains..."
Mu Zhong was about to make a joke, but his eyes were fixed on the other party's coordinates. He said with certainty: "These coordinates are wrong."
Wei Huan also noticed: "The coordinates are ahead."
"Yes, we're still ahead. Since yesterday, the coordinates of the ruins we sent have all been at the back, which means we've completely separated from the main force. Now the coordinates are ahead. Do you think it could be?"
"They are the people who stayed in the public area before." Wei Huan said affirmatively.
Level 2 highway, also known as the district battlefield.
Not only are Wei Huan's challengers on this road, but also the challengers from District 10086 in previous years who did not enter the third-level road are all here.
These "veterans" are restricted to the second half of the road and cannot return to the "stage" and interfere with the challenges of this year's challengers unless they pay a heavy price.
But as they reach the finish line and enter the second half of the road, they will merge with veterans from previous years.
Wei Huan took a look at the number of people in the chat room. There were 413 people, a relatively stable number with people coming and going in the past few days.
More than 600 people survived the primary challenge, and more than 400 people returned, with a return rate of 70%. This is probably the highest rate in history.
It’s all because of Wei Huan’s star effect.
At the same time, this stable number also shows that Wei Huan has not completely left the novice challenger area.
Just like the national channels that are now increasing in number of members, certain conditions must be met before entering different channels.
"So the people up front are colluding with those behind?" Mu Zhong concluded. "We haven't even entered the second half yet, and the number of people in the chat room hasn't changed. Clearly, someone is waiting for us up front... The Hongmen Banquet."
Wei Huan thought about it and shook his head: "No."
Mu Zhong laughed: "Yes, it's not that we are cowards. If we know it is a trap and still jump into it, then we are simply mentally ill."
Mu Zhong then continued, "Enter the Challenge World and survive for 10 days, and you'll be able to return to Blue Star once. Historically, on the tenth day of the Secondary Highway, you'll almost see the Phantom Wall, marking the second half of the race. By then, leaving once and returning once will qualify you as a Challenge Veteran."
But at our speed, I think we should be able to reach the Phantom Wall a day earlier, which means we have less than two days left."
Wei Huan said, "You can go a little slower. You're almost reaching Sequence Three. I want to wait until you advance before going over."
Mu Zhong: "Indeed, there will probably be a tough battle on the other side. They have already received the news before you even left. Whether it is good or bad, we are too conspicuous."
A cold light flashed in Wei Huan's eyes: "Only by overwhelming others with strength can we overcome all troubles."
The so-called strength is not just Wei Huan's personal strength. In his heart, Mu Zhong is deeply bound to him, and Mu Zhong's improvement is his improvement.
He had been looking forward to the shaman's "bloodthirstiness" for a long time.
Mu Zhong, who had just come out of the Professional Temple exhausted last night, was chased by Wei Huan and entered the Professional Temple again early in the morning.
For this reason, he had not even trained the driver sequence for two days, and focused on attacking the shaman.
Wei Huan ordered the intelligent butler to move in a "Z-shape", which expanded the search range while also slowing down the speed.
Not long after, the intelligent butler told him that ruins were found again ahead.
Wei Huan, who was cleaning up in the living room, secretly prayed that the ruins this time would not be on the technological side again, otherwise he would not know whether to call Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong has now become addicted to picking up junk, just like he was opening boxes.
Fortunately, what was discovered this time were the ruins of the scaly snake.
It's just bigger than any of the previous ones.
Wei Huan summoned out a full one-third of his undead creatures before he could barely complete the exploration of the underground and find the silver treasure chest hidden deep underground.
One silver treasure chest, three black iron treasure chests, and one bronze treasure chest.
I opened the silver treasure chest and the black iron treasure chest, but nothing valuable dropped.
But something jumped out of the bronze treasure chest.
【Get Return Symbol X1】
[Obtain Bronze Spiritual Power Potion X1]
[Obtain Water Collector (Small)]
Return symbol.
Look, who can you argue with? The things that come out of a bronze treasure chest are worth more than three silver treasure chests.
Wei Huan took the return talisman out of the warehouse, held the small one in his hand and looked at it for a long time. If it weren't for the silver glasses reminding him, he wouldn't have known that it was actually an ear bone clip.
A very rare piece of equipment.
It is extremely delicate, only the size of a thumbnail, and looks like a butterfly's wings at first glance, but it is actually a Möbius strip representing an endless cycle.
Wei Huan took it in his hand, thought about it, took off the return symbol necklace from his neck, and clipped the ear bone clip above his right ear.
Perhaps because of its simple style and black color, it does not look feminine when worn by men. Instead, it matches Wei Huan's overall black and cool outfit very well.
In fact, even if it doesn’t look good, Wei Huan will stay.
The ear bone clip is a very rare piece of equipment. Perhaps only the unconventional "Returning Symbol" would think of hanging equipment here, so that it will not conflict with other equipment and waste an equipment slot.
Not long after Wei Huan put on the ear bone clip, the army of undead that had completed their exploration began to return.
First, the ghost crows flew out, and then the face huggers swarmed densely on the ground.
One of the face huggers was extremely unique. Its front legs held high a stone treasure map, on which was placed an iron treasure map.
A bug actually got two treasure maps.
He rushed to the front of the car, held up the treasure map like he was presenting a treasure, and handed it to Wei Huan.
"Good dog."
Wei Huan patted the facehugger that was about to reach the elite level, and in order to distinguish it from other facehuggers, he named it "Gouzi".
Anal digging brother: "..."
Gouzi: “…”
The one who should be called "dog" was not called "dog", and the one who should not be called "dog" was called "dog".
Both parties had no right to object and were very happy.
Wei Huan took the treasure map from the dog's paw, turned around, separated the two pieces, spread them flat on the cabinet on the side of the driver's seat, and handed them to the smart butler to scan.
Over there, Gou Zi and the guy who was digging anus were circling around the car, one to the left and the other to the right. Not surprisingly, they collided with each other after circling twice.
The dog was directly knocked away by the anus-digging guy. It flew in the air with its eight legs curled up into a ball, and landed on the sand, spinning around.
The green flames in the anus-digging brother's eyes suddenly swelled up, and he cried "kakaka" with joy, and went up to continue to attack the dog.
Wei Huan was watching with great delight when the intelligent butler spoke up, "Captain, I've figured out the treasure's coordinates using the existing map."
Wei Huan turned around in surprise: "I thought it was still early."
"Yes, we have a total of six types of treasure maps. The largest map has about 18 fragments. The coordinates of the treasure we have now are composed of six fragments. We just obtained key information. After deduction, there is a 99.99% probability that the treasure coordinates are correct."
"Where? How long will it take?" Wei Huan was a little worried that they would have to go back.
The intelligent butler said, "On the other side of the phantom wall."
A little disappointed, but okay, Wei Huan nodded: "Mark the coordinates and remind me when the time comes. Now keep going forward."
"Okay, Captain."
All the undead creatures went back, only the anus-digging brother was still playing with the dog. Wei Huan had an idea and took them back.
The next second, the smart butler set off again.
This time, before even three minutes had passed, the intelligent butler suddenly said, "Captain, a visitor is requesting to log in."
They are on the move.
Wei Huan was indeed stunned for a while this time before he slowly reacted, "Liu Chengzhi?"
"Yes, he requested to board the train. Do you agree?"
Wei Huan thought about it and said, "Let him come up."
As he spoke, Wei Huan had already left the driver's seat and came into the living room.
I saw that in the middle of the living room, one of the teleportation points for collecting warehouse items was lit up.
Then a tall and strong figure appeared in the circle of light.
Looking at this figure, if it’s not Liu Chengzhi, then who is it?
Before the transmission was completely over, Liu Chengzhi began to dance with joy, "Boss, boss, I'm back, I'm here to repay you, hello boss! Boss, you actually let me get in the car, woo woo woo, I'm so touched~~"
Then he rushed over, hugged Wei Huan's legs, raised his head, and said pitifully, "Thank you for saving me, Boss. My family has only one son for nine generations. If I die, my family will be extinct. My grandmother will definitely not be able to bear to die with me. The money that my grandfather, father, and mother have worked hard to earn all their lives will go to those stinky relatives for free.
You are not only my savior, but also my grandmother's lifesaver, and even more so my grandparents, my grandparents, and my great benefactor!
My grandmother said, if you are willing, I will give you all the money in my family. Please, let me work like a slave for you and let me repay you."
“…” Wei Huan knew that this kid was trying to demand repayment for a favor.
In fact, he had already discussed it with Mu Zhong. It would be fine if one person got in the car first. They were both busy now, concentrating on improving their strength, so their quality of life was inevitably declining.
Take the junk piled up in the living room, for example. It has been there for several days, scattered here like this. It will become a problem over time.
Liu Chengzhi left Challenge World in their car, and his broken car was put into the garage by Mu Zhong. When he returned, he must have been in their car.
To be on the safe side, Mu Zhong had already learned about Liu Chengzhi's background two days ago.
It's not a secret, just ask and you'll have the answer.
The Liu family has a family background of red businessmen. The family is engaged in industry. Before the advent of the challenge world, they produced steel cables and other products for the national military industry.
After the advent of the challenging world, the old man who was in power in the family, his son, and his daughter-in-law all died. The 64-year-old old lady was entrusted with taking over the power and is now supporting more than 80,000 people in Daxia.
Interestingly, before Jin Sun was about to enter the Challenge World, the old lady sought help from the Northeast Army.
It’s a pity that no one can interfere with the distribution of the challenge world. Even Mu Zhong, who is dying, has to come in and fight a life-and-death test. He really can’t help this old lady.
But after many twists and turns, Liu Chengzhi finally got into Wei Huan's car.
In other words, he got into Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's car, which could be considered as having the protection of the military.
Mu Zhongke is a captain in the Northeast Army.
Anyway, Liu Chengzhi has a clean background and is protected by the legacy of his ancestors, so he is qualified to get on Wei Huan's car.
only……
Wei Huan asked him, his eyes sweeping over his injuries, "It's only been a few days, and you're back? Are your injuries healed?"
Liu Chengzhi was moved to tears: "Yes, yes, yes, it's okay, I'm just a little lame. Grandma asked a divine healer to save my life that same day. If she hadn't refused to let me come back and hadn't wanted me to be a playboy, I would have been able to come back the next day."
"Dandy?" Wei Huan suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Liu Chengzhi blushed and said, "Hmm," "I'm the only relative my grandma has left. She doesn't want me to come back and take risks."
So... even if I'm a useless idiot, I'm fine with it? As long as I'm alive? This truly is the old man's deep love...
"Did you come back without telling grandma?"
Being stared at by Wei Huan fiercely, Liu Chengzhi shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, my grandma has a bad heart, and I can't make her angry. She's the only relative I have. That's why I didn't come back until today. Grandma said..." Liu Chengzhi smiled brightly at this point. "My family doesn't have anything good to give you. Our Xinggang Group is not ours, it belongs to the country, so we can't give it to you. But some of the properties we have invested in are almost all in protected areas, so they are still worth some money."
Wei Huan: “…”
Liu Chengzhi was embarrassed. "I know you're not short of money. A platinum treasure chest is worth a fortune. Legions from all over the world would be jealous of it. And there are so many gold chests... I just want to tell you that you saved me. My life, my money, everything I have is yours. I won't go west if you point the way east. Just take me in, Boss!!!"
It’s just... so noisy!
When Mu Zhong got in the car, he talked a lot and tried hard to prove his worth.
But Mu Zhong knew his limits. He said what he should say and didn't say what he shouldn't say.
Look at the one in front of me...he is not born in an ordinary family, and his emotional intelligence and experience are indeed far behind.
Is this reckless "output" intended to gain favor or to lose it?
The old lady could see clearly that this fat grandson was indeed more suitable to be a playboy.
Wei Huan felt dizzy from his relentless chatter. He struggled his legs out of his arms and said, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's go check on your car."
Liu Chengzhi didn't know that Wei Huan had already secretly accepted his identity as a driver. He only knew that Wei Huan didn't nod in agreement, which meant that he didn't like him.
He followed Wei Huan with a gloomy face, wondering if he was about to be kicked out of the car?
There is a staircase leading down on the side of the balcony in the living room on the first floor.
Go downstairs and open the door, the entire first floor is a garage.
A level 3 vehicle can carry five people including the captain, and can also "carry" four small cars.
Mu Zhong's car had been abandoned long ago; he didn't have a car.
In the challenge world, "car" is a very special existence, equivalent to a household registration book.
Mu Zhong now has no "household registration book" of his own and has been included in Wei Huan's "household registration". Once he chooses to leave, he will completely lose his status as a challenger.
As for other crew members, such as Liu Chengzhi, even if they get on Wei Huan's car, they can still leave and start their own business as long as they get Wei Huan's consent.
in other words.
The relationship between Wei Huan and Mu Zhong in the Challenge World is similar to "no divorce, only widowhood".
Got to the basement.
As soon as the light is turned on.
Liu Chengzhi's sad face couldn't be hidden, and it was all smiles.
Hahahaha! His car is a twisted mess!
Good, good, good!
car:"……"
Liu Chengzhi pretended to be sad, and said with a hard smile: "I can't use my car now. Can you let me stay in it until I can fix it?"
Wei Huan was amused by his appearance, but it didn't show on his face, and he nodded.
"Okay!" The rising tone was suppressed with great reluctance.
Liu Chengzhi rubbed his hands and looked at Wei Huan expectantly. "To repay you, how about I grill some meat for you?"
…
When Mu Zhong came down with dark circles under his eyes, Liu Chengzhi had already set up a barbecue grill on the first-floor balcony. Large pieces of meat were tumbling over the charcoal fire, and the rich aroma of barbecue was wafting out amid the sizzling sound of oil.
"He's coming up?" Mu Zhong moved to Wei Huan's side and looked at the figure outside the balcony. "Eating barbecue in the middle of the day?"
Wei Huan said, "I made you a light soup, and the rice is ready in the pot. Please eat these."
Mu Zhong was still recovering from his injuries and wasn't suitable for eating anything too strong, but he was tempted by the smell: "Eat half a skewer."
Wei Huan didn't say yes or no, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your injury is not an ordinary one, right? Even with a divine healing master, Liu Chengzhi recovered in three days after such a serious injury."
Mu Zhong smiled calmly: "You are really patient. You only asked me now."
Wei Huan was silent for a moment and explained: "I just respect you."
"Yes, you respect me and I respect you too. We just care too much about each other's feelings. In fact, there are many things we should have said a long time ago, but we always hold them back until the last minute."
Mu Zhong glanced out the window. Liu Chengzhi was happily grilling skewers, singing and dancing. "The Dragon Team is responsible for randomly challenging and harassing the Dark Beast Lords, and trying to kill as many of their geniuses as possible. Not everyone knows this, but if you're willing to inquire, you'll find out."
Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong continued, "I can't even enter the Challenge World, so my internship with the Dragon Group is just a nominal one. In reality, I'm involved in national security work within the Northeastern Army's jurisdiction."
Wei Huan: "Military security and military intelligence gathering?"
"Yes." Mu nodded. "Counterintelligence."
After Mu Zhong said this, he stopped talking.
Wei Huan looked at him in confusion. They had already talked so much, why did he become silent again?
Mu Zhong was also embarrassed. He thought for a moment and said, "Wei Huan, my life belongs to you. You have to believe me. I don't want to hide anything from you, but my injury is indeed a highly confidential matter. I can't explain it to you clearly.
I can only tell you that if challenging the world is a battle concerning human civilization, then the actions in the dark on Blue Planet are even more of a game for hegemony.
Furthermore, it's not just the major legions plotting in secret; in fact, deep within the Blue Star, there's an undercurrent even more terrifying than you can imagine."
Wei Huan frowned.
Through this limited information, he seemed to be able to guess something. It seemed that those guys were the only ones who became "thunderbolts" in the previous life.
"What is the undercurrent?" Wei Huan asked deliberately.
"this……"
"Is it inconvenient to say?"
"They are a bunch of lunatics."
"Well, what's so scary about a madman?"
"No, those lunatics have gained some authority to challenge the world. I..." Mu Zhong thought about it and shook his head, "I know only so much."
After hearing this, Wei Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that those guys had been "seen" by the authorities, and they were not far from being completely exposed.
Wei Huan saw that Mu Zhong really didn't know much, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about confidential matters."
"Um……"
"Let's talk about your leg... So, when you were on a mission, the other party used a special item from the Challenge World, which damaged you. As a result, the Divine Healer couldn't save you, and you could only heal yourself by increasing your own strength, right?"
"right……"
"Which force is it?"
"I don't know. Of the 16 comrades who took the action together, 11 died on the spot. Another senior brother and I were seriously injured. I barely woke up, but he didn't make it." Mu Zhong's shoulders felt heavy when talking about this. The sadness that was usually suppressed surged up like thick ink, trying to swallow him up.
Before Wei Huan could be pulled down and suffocate, he grabbed his wrist, as if to pull him up, and said with force: "It's time to eat."
Mu Zhong came back to his senses. He blinked and followed Wei Huan's strength to climb up. "Okay, I'm really hungry."
He looked up and smiled at Wei Huan, but the smile was forced.
Wei Huan didn't like it, but he felt that he was great and worthy of any praise, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head.
The soft hair passed through my fingers and I couldn't let it go.
Halfway through kneading, both of them were stunned.
"Boss!"
When Liu Chengzhi entered the room carrying a plate of barbecue, he saw the two of them entangled in each other's gazes.
Holy shit! This is love!!
Liu Chengzhi shrunk himself up little by little, carefully.
