News from Blue Star
Chapter 74
[Get Gold Spirit Potion X1]
【Get Golden Power Helmet X1】
[Obtain engine upgrade blueprint (four) x1]
[Obtain Alloy Bow Tube X3]
…
“This is a rich box.”
After the box was opened, Mu Zhong shared the unpacked supplies.
Li Xue's eyes were red like a rabbit's. "The power helmet and the Level 4 engine blueprints, plus the alloy bow tube, which is the core upgrade material of the Level 4 engine blueprint, are all in one go. Three hundred million is a sure thing!"
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan, however, felt that the golden spiritual power potion was the most suitable.
If Mu Zhong uses it, he can refresh more BUFFs, and if Wei Huan uses it, he can summon more undead. Especially after Wei Huan has a pseudo-magic weapon, any improvement will have a 25% bonus, and taking spiritual potions is the most cost-effective.
However, in the challenge world, more than 60% of the people are farmers, mainly focusing on strength.
Therefore, the materials of the farmer sequence have always been priced extremely high, and the price of Blue Star Coins at auction can easily reach hundreds of millions.
Finally, there are the engine blueprints and core materials.
These are also materials that are not easy to open, and they are very valuable.
Captain Xue and the others' eyes were red with envy, but that was all.
It makes you happy just to look at something you can't afford. If you really need it, you can work together to get it. But if you ask for something just because you want it, what kind of person would you be?
However, this time, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong traded all the supplies from the treasure chest, except for the golden spiritual power potion, to Captain Xue, and asked them to send them back to Colonel Luo Jia.
The value of [Mofidi Scale] is indeed high, but now humans already have level 5 vehicles and level 5 professionals. [Mofidi Scale] will be obtained sooner or later, and its value has long been reduced.
On the contrary, given General Mu’s current situation, it is not easy to get the supplies from these level 4 vehicles.
Now that we have decided on our position, we must wholeheartedly support Commander Mu's return.
If General Mu stands up, Wei Huan and the others will only be better off.
Captain Xue held the warm supplies and nodded happily, confirming again: "Once you pass the third-level highway assessment, you will join the Legion, right?"
"Yes." Wei Huan answered affirmatively.
Captain Xue smiled from ear to ear, "Great, great, I'm really looking forward to it."
After distributing the supplies, everyone chatted for a while, but it didn't last long and soon dispersed.
Entering the professional temple for training as soon as night falls is a habit that has been forcibly changed by humans in the seven years since the advent of the challenging world.
Even those who have given up their status as challengers and dare not enter the challenge world again will occasionally return to the professional temple for professional training, and perhaps one day they will have the courage to return.
Taking on the world is dangerous, but it also holds endless opportunities.
It is most suitable for those who risk everything on one throw and turn the tide against the odds.
…
Blue Star.
Daxia.
While the challengers are fighting to challenge the world, the people of Daxia are still continuing to live and work.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life. Everyone knows very well who is protecting them in front.
Therefore, the people of Blue Star have long since moved on from the entertainment culture of earlier years and the hormones of handsome men and beautiful women, and are paying more attention to the big and small things that challenge the world.
In their eyes, those challengers who fight hard in the challenge world are undoubtedly the real big stars.
Today is the first round of assessment for secondary highways, the day for ranking.
It is exciting for Wei Huan to once again rank among the top and achieve such a high pass rate this year.
However, compared with these daily assessments, it is obviously not as popular as another more important thing.
That night, I don’t know how many people couldn’t eat and were talking excitedly with the people around them.
"Did you see the post on the Challenger Forum today? It said that Jingcheng Trade, Jialun Military Industry, the Challenger Alliance, and more than ten other major forces announced that they would recruit new members based on the results of this third-level highway assessment, offering generous compensation."
"Posts pop up in the blink of an eye, all offering high salaries, all targeting the third-level highway assessment the next day. They're rushed and the information is vague. It almost feels like a conspiracy that's luring you into a trap."
"It's impossible to trick people into challenging the world and then kill them. Only a madman would make such a decision. Besides, this time not only are major forces speaking out, but the legion is also backing them. I think the other voices online are more reliable."
"What is it?"
“In recent years, the Dark Beast Sniper’s highway assessments have become more and more frequent, and many people have been stuck in the third-level highway advancement process.
At the beginning, it was every six months, and the Legion organized geniuses and concentrated its forces to lead and send challengers all at once.
But since last year, this method has been ineffective. The number of lords sent by the Dark Beasts has also increased dramatically. Last year's losses were so severe that the whole country was in mourning."
"Yeah, I remember. Too many people died. The enemy had five eight-star, third-level lords. Almost all of our team's geniuses were killed. The only ones who survived were ordinary challengers hiding in the back. Their number was less than 40% of the original number. They said over 20,000 people died in one go."
"Yes, after that, our human development lagged behind the Dark Beasts. If Wei Huan hadn't opened the platinum treasure chest and turned in the fifth-level materials, perhaps the great disaster for humanity would have arrived earlier."
"so?"
"So, with the Level 2 exam just concluded, they're immediately expanding the influence of the Level 3 exam. Is it possible that Wei Huan is about to enter the Level 3 exam right after? With his abilities, it's entirely possible he could have protected and transported a group of challengers. You probably haven't heard about the scene Wei Huan created in the Level 2 public area, have you? I heard he even chased off a legendary treasure chest monster."
"I know that, but even so, Wei Huan can't protect many people. Even if the video hasn't been leaked, everyone knows how terrifying the five eight-star dark beasts were last year. They are definitely stronger than a second-level highway legendary treasure chest monster."
"This time it's so sudden, the Dark Beasts shouldn't be prepared, right?"
"Who knows? What if there is one? The more people who go in hoping for a lucky break, the greater the pressure on Wei Huan. Don't forget that a large crowd will spawn more wandering monsters, and resources will be tight. Unless we split up into multiple teams and break through, but that would require a very high number of leader vehicles. Counting our rookies this year, there are indeed quite a few with strong abilities, but in my opinion, they are far inferior to Wei Huan and simply cannot bear the responsibility of a leader."
"Shh, now that you mention it, I'm really confused. So what does the country mean by this? Could such a big move be a dead end?"
"Not really, but I did think of a possibility?"
"What?"
"It doesn't take a new driver to be in charge of a leader's car. There are quite a few big guys who have parked on the secondary highway to recuperate over the years..."
"Ah, you said this..."
…
When Mu Dehao returned to Blue Star, he thought he would slam the table and have a good talk with Commander Chai.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in front of Commander Chai and said a few words, a new task came.
It was a task assigned by his two children who were challenging the world.
"...So, the number of people who have signed up has already exceeded 10,000, and the total number of people is estimated to be 30,000, which is the largest number of people ever to take this test. The number of leader vehicles must be increased. Commander Dong's intention is to contact the old man and negotiate terms."
The person who came into the room to report was Commander Chai's adjutant. He glanced at the faces of his two superiors and continued, "Also, Qi Jialu's people took the initiative to contact us."
"Qi Jialu..." The two bosses who were on edge just a moment ago have now adjusted their facial expressions and stared at each other for a long time.
After a while, Mu Dehao said, "I have some impression of her. She's the female leader of the secondary highway. She seems to run a fairly large bounty hunting group, and people come from all over the place. She even monopolizes the development and maintenance rights of three districts."
Speaking of this, Commander Chai's face immediately turned ugly.
"It sounds good, but it's called the right to develop and maintain. It sounds bad, like a landowner's banditry, exploiting the people's wealth by collecting protection money. What the hell!"
Mu Dehao shook his head. "Daxia originally had 2,009 districts, and in recent years, it's been at least 1,500. Our army's strength is limited, and we simply can't protect all the secondary roads. Over the past few years, with the army's mediation, we've been able to cooperate with these bounty groups, which has at least alleviated a large part of the pressure on the rear."
Commander Chai shook his head. "What kind of cooperation? They occupied it first, and our people couldn't get in. They didn't want to increase the sacrifice, so this situation occurred. How can this be considered helping us relieve the pressure? If our people go in, can't they watch it? Are they incapable of it?"
Mu Dehao sighed. He really didn't want to argue about such a meaningless topic with this guy who had just gained power.
In the past few years, he has been helping Commander Hong handle similar tasks.
He knew better than anyone that challenging the world was impossible without a legion or powerful private forces.
Then he looked at the adjutant: "What happened to Qi Jialu?"
The adjutant was Commander Chai's man. Seeing Commander Chai nod, he continued, "She said she could personally go down and act as the leader's car, but one of the conditions was that her people be released."
"Who to release?" Mu Dehao frowned.
"A man named Xu Qingqiang..."
…
"You Wuyi, don't sign up this time."
After You Wuyi completed the assessment yesterday and left the challenge world, he returned to Blue Star and slept for most of the day. When he opened his eyes, he found that the world had changed.
The big operation to break through the constraints of the third-level assessment was about to begin, but no one notified him.
You Wuyi rushed into the leader's office with messy hair.
Unexpectedly, his superior shook his head and said, "Commander Dong specifically instructed that you cannot participate this time. Have a good rest. You have worked hard this time."
You Wuyi's face wrinkled. "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with this operation? This time, Wei Huan is the leader, right? You can't do anything reckless. Wei Huan is the most talented of our group. He must not be lost in the challenge world."
The superior was amused by You Wuyi's words and praised him: "You are a good-tempered person. Not jealous at all?"
You Wuyi scratched his messy hair and sighed, then sank down on a chair. "What's the point of being jealous? I've tried my best to catch up with him, but I haven't succeeded. He's ahead of me because of his real talent. Why should I be dissatisfied?"
"That's fine. Commander Dong has mentioned it twice. Let me talk to you."
You Wuyi waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm open-minded."
"Ha ha."
After joking around for a while, the superior said seriously, "Wei Huan's action this time was rather sudden, and he also planned to catch the Dark Beasts off guard.
But we can't underestimate the intelligence work of the Dark Beasts. Their high-level Dark Beasts have very high IQs. Maybe this operation will lead to some crisis, so we can't put all our hopes on this one.
The ideal situation is that Wei Huan leads a group this time, and half a year later you and outstanding challengers of the same period serve as the leader car and lead another group.
You can’t put all your eggs in one basket, you know.”
Of course You Wuyi understood.
It is difficult to say when the Dark Beast will concentrate its strength, but no matter what, the "main artery" that supplies talents upward cannot be cut off.
It didn't matter that Wei Huan left first, since he would only be half a year behind, and they would meet sooner or later.
I just hope that by then, the gap won’t be too big.
…
In addition, those who were also left behind included Shao Yuan, who was trained in the Southeast Military Region, Qi Lin, a dual-professional trained in the Northwest Military Region, and outstanding talents from major challenger schools, all of whom received unified orders.
They were ordered to stay put and remain in the secondary public area for half a year.
But there are also talents who are not in these official institutions but are cultivated by private forces, and a minority of people have different opinions.
There are always some people who are as insightful as candlelight and have a long-term vision. On this night, they recruited the outstanding children in their families and issued family orders.
“Some of you have already been on the secondary highway for a long time. Some of you have just passed the secondary highway assessment.
But no matter what, you are able to stand here as challengers, and your success is worthy of my family's pride in you."
The person who said this was an elderly man in his twilight years. He was sitting in a wheelchair and met with the outstanding young people in his family in the living room of his mansion.
The old man had many age spots on his face and his skin was dry and wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree, but his eyes were bright and he looked like someone who had been in a high position for a long time and was very powerful.
He spoke slowly and in a deep voice, but every word he said could strike deep into people's hearts.
"Go sign up for the Level 3 assessment, join Wei Huan's team, follow him closely, and obey his orders just like you respect me."
"Yes!" The young people here did not show any surprise at such an order. Their clear and determined eyes showed that they deeply agreed with this order.
"Also..." The old man looked at a tall, thin, and handsome young man standing in the middle and said, "When Mu Zhong's leg was broken, I know you were sadder than anyone else, but the outside world has many speculations about you. Now is the time for you to change these rumors.
My Mu family stands tall because we stand upright and are united. Those with ability should step forward, and those of us behind should assist them wholeheartedly and understand what a family is.
The old man looked at the other person deeply, and finally said: "I arranged for you to get on Wei Huan's car. Do your best to help your cousin. You must also let Wei Huan know that the power of the family is not inferior to that of the legion. Let him trust the Mu family."
The young man, who bore some resemblance to Mu Zhong, nodded solemnly.
"I understand. I will do as you say."
"Good, good boy."
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Third Uncle is in a difficult situation right now. This is a crucial moment for us to weather the storm together. Everyone must remember that only by unity can the family prosper forever.
Only when your family is strong can you get the best resources."
…
But compared to these people, Wei Jinhong was stopped by Gong Lianying.
Gong Lianying looked unhappy, her nose poking a hole in the sky. "What's wrong with your son? Ever since he entered the Challenge World, there's been no news from him. You called him but he didn't answer. You waited at the university gate for so many days but still didn't show up. Is he still your son? He just achieved some success, right? Why is he so selfish? It's as if he's afraid we'll take advantage of him."
After saying this, Gong Lianying looked at her biological son Wei Shuai with a much gentler gaze: "Children raised by our side are more sensible. Yesterday, he said that when we enter the Challenge World, all the resources we get will be given to mom and dad."
After saying this with a hint of meaning, Gong Lianying looked at Wei Jinhong: "Some people think that writing a letter of severance is enough. If family affection in this world is so simple, what is the need for court arbitration? You have raised him since he was a child. Can he repay all the investments from money to emotions? Wei Jinhong, can you act like a man? He is your own son, and you can control him.
Tell me, how many gold boxes does he have now? Did he give you one? You didn't even get the worst material. You are such a disgrace to your father!"
Wei Jinhong's face turned red when his wife scolded him in front of his young son. He even saw some disdain in his young son's eyes.
I know that my child looks down on him, and it is because I, as a mother, dislike him that I speak ill of him in front of my son.
But he couldn't teach Gong Lianying a lesson.
It was he who coveted Gong Lianying's youth and beauty, as well as her wealthy family background. He was the first to give in to his greed, and now it is difficult for him to raise his head again.
He is almost under the control of the people here at home.
Even though his eldest son has become successful now, he has not only failed to change his status in the family, but is instead ridiculed for not being able to control his son.
Faced with this series of sarcasm, Wei Jinhong could only hold his nose and endure it. Finally, he cursed: "Evil son! Wait until he passes the assessment this time and officially enters the third-level highway, and then you will see how I will deal with him!"
…
On the blue planet, the storm is brewing.
Because of this emergency and unexpected event, countless people spent sleepless nights speculating about future changes.
In the challenge world, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong also did not sleep well.
Shortly after they came out of the Professional Temple, they were informed by the intelligent butler that they were about to upgrade to a level 4 vehicle.
After three hours, the final vehicle upgrade can be completed.
Who can sleep in this situation?
None of the three returned to the room, but squeezed into the cab. White fog surrounded them, completely blocking their vision. They could not see anything and could not get in. They could only hear the clanging sounds.
Liu Chengzhi curled up on his sofa, with various cookbooks bought from the auction house piled at his feet.
He found a sense of meaning in cooking and has recently become obsessed with researching recipes.
Although he knew that personal strength was the most important thing in the challenge world, he also understood that his little fighting power was far less important than a delicious meal in this car.
But after watching for a while, Liu Chengzhi gradually felt very sleepy.
He yawned and was about to put down the recipe in his hand when he looked up and saw that the bosses had sat together at some point. Two of them were holding a microscopic world in their hands and were diligently cultivating the land in the small world.
Liu Chengzhi's admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
The boss is worthy of being the boss. He has been practicing to such a strong level that he can even take care of farming when he has time.
Although, he also knew that managing the microscopic world had the benefits of exercising spiritual power.
But if a person is really tired after a day, his greatest hope is to be able to have a good rest and a sweet sleep after dark, right?
Therefore, not everyone can be the boss.
It is this sense of responsibility that he feels he lacks.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengzhi's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and he let himself sink into a sweet dream.
I really can't bear it anymore. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I'll just take a nap first.
Liu Chengzhi's breathing gradually became heavy, and his snoring could be heard in the room for a moment, even the escalating noise was temporarily suppressed.
However, the two people who held the microscopic world and put all their mental energy into it did not feel any movement in the outside world at all.
They are very focused on cultivating the land, using their mental power to fertilize the plants, weed, and comfort poultry and wild boars, soothing their physical and mental states.
In fact, the initial intentions of both parties were not that simple.
When the microscopic world is brought in front of you and your eyes meet, you will know what the other person wants.
It’s just spiritual resonance, which is not as easy as imagined. The more deliberate it is, the harder it is to find the key point of the same frequency.
Fortunately, there was plenty of time tonight, and the two of them adjusted their steps little by little and began to enjoy the joy of farming together.
finally!
The expected entanglement of spiritual power appeared, and their minds seemed to have wings, flying out of the world, flying into the universe, shuttling through nebulae, exploring black holes, and stopping to admire the brilliant scenery among the exploding stars.
Their spiritual powers were so close that they seemed to be one body, transforming into a spiral of light speed, whistling away into the distance, rushing towards the end of the universe.
Until it breaks through the dark dome!
Splendor returns suddenly!
With his body shaking, he opened his eyes and saw the person opposite him.
There was a thin mist at the corners of Mu Zhong's eyes, giving him a look of being bullied, which made people salivate.
Wei Huan felt that at this moment, being looked at by such eyes, he might do anything.
But in the end, he just raised his hand and restrainedly wiped away the tears that oozed from the corners of Mu Zhong's eyes, saying: "Rest for a while. You can't go back to the room for the time being. Relax."
Mu Zhong nodded and was about to say yes when Wei Huan suddenly asked in surprise, "Do you have any special feelings now?"
Mu Zhong shook his head in confusion.
Wei Huan's gaze fell on his face, and a green code seemed to flash across his glasses. "The data shows that your spiritual power has increased by 5 points in the past few moments."
Mu Zhong came back to his senses, "You mean, after doing this, spiritual power will be greatly improved?"
5 points of spiritual power may not seem like much, but it is a bottle of bronze potion that increases the maximum value.
The most important thing is that after they consumed five bottles of medicine, it is now ineffective.
Now they have found a way to make further significant improvements.
"What about you?" Mu Zhong asked.
Wei Huan looked at his own data in the mirror, which was more than Mu Zhong's, and his spiritual power increased by 7 points.
It may be related to the fake artifact.
But 7 points of spiritual power!
When Wei Huan saw this number, his eyes became hot.
"Come again." Wei Huan spoke directly.
"..." Mu Zhong's gaze fell on Wei Huan's overly tense chest muscles, then slowly slid down a few inches, "Are you sure?"
Wei Huan tried to be patient for a moment, then shook his head a little frustrated.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the throbbing, Wei Huan calmed himself down before reluctantly turning his eyes away.
"There's still a little time left. I'll go to the Occupational Temple and come out after I finish upgrading."
"Well, I also..." Mu Zhong put the microscopic world down, thought about it and said, "When I have time, the more the better."
Mu Zhong said this with a calm look in his eyes, but his invisible fingertips were slowly rubbing the dampness on his palms.
There was also a heat that kept his body tense, which made his voice slightly hoarse.
With only one hour left for upgrading, Wei Huan can stay in the Professional Temple for five hours.
With this ratio of five, even the most passionate heart can calm down.
Besides, the aura of those high-level undead made him very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the time was up, he left the tomb without stopping.
Wei Huan only hopes that he can become stronger faster.
Let these high-level undead understand what it means that you ignored them in the past, but now you can’t afford them.
However, Wei Huan was still a little slow in opening his eyes.
Mu Zhong and Liu Chengzhi had both woken up and were standing in the cab, watching the changes here.
Level 4 vehicle, the upgrade has been completed.
