Ruins Dispute
Chapter 46
Wei Huan looked at the abandoned mecha.
If so, this is a level six car.
It makes perfect sense that there are level five technological items on the car.
Unexpectedly, the thing I had been longing for was found here!
A smile appeared in Wei Huan's eyes.
Order the facehugger to move the mecha to the front of the car.
Even if these things are discarded and cannot be used, junior technicians can disassemble and study them, which is also a new hope for Mu Zhong.
After that, the Facehugger found two more damaged micro-mechas, and Wei Huan asked them to collect them separately.
The garbage mountain was completely removed, revealing the black iron blocks underneath.
Found it!
Treasure map fragments!
Next, Wei Huan went to two other rooms to open treasure chests. After not finding any useful items, he went back to find Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong was directing a ground beast guard to carefully carry a two-meter-tall black iron ball on its back.
The rest of the undead skeletons were destroying the gate, apparently trying to get the thing out.
"What is this?" Wei Huan asked.
"It could be an advanced engine or some other advanced component, but I don't have the skills to disassemble it on site, so I have to ship it out in one piece."
Wei Huan nodded and asked, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"
Mu Zhong said with regret: "This is simply a treasure trove for pilots. I can feel that my level has improved significantly.
But we can't waste any more time here.
Besides, these things are enough for me to absorb and digest slowly when I get back."
Wei Huan also felt the same way. Not only this big iron ball, but also the controller in the cab and the three miniature mechas could keep Mu Zhong busy for a long time.
When I returned to the ground, three hours had passed.
For a road challenge where every second counts, this exploration took too long.
The messy items that could not be stored in the space backpack were piled up in the living room.
The space that was beautiful and tidy in the morning became a mess.
Wei Huan closed the door and called out, "Butler."
"Hello, Captain. I'm here."
"drive."
"OK."
The happiest thing about the Level 3 car is that Wei Huan doesn’t need to sit in the driver’s seat to drive.
Set the speed to 500 mph and let the AI drive.
Outside the car, only ghost crows were flying around. Even Xiaodian couldn't keep up with such speed and was taken back into the tomb by Wei Huan.
The car did not stop along the way, but did not encounter a single treasure chest.
The radar range of the intermediate AI is not as good as Wei Huan’s summoning distance, and the treasure chests along the way have already been opened by the ghost crow in advance.
Nearly two hours of non-stop driving was enough to make up for most of the time wasted exploring the ruins.
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan were sorting supplies in the living room during this time.
Dual professions are very powerful, but they also have a major drawback.
A person's energy is limited. After training in a professional temple, most people will be exhausted and find it difficult to enter the second professional temple to continue training.
Mu Zhong is a strong man in every sense of the word, and he is also determined to be stronger.
Not only does he have to undergo dual-professional training, but he also has to use the microscopic world to hone his spiritual power.
The day is already fully scheduled, and I still have to deal with trivial matters such as daily life and item trading.
Even though he worked very hard, the speed of the driver sequence still improved very slowly.
But now the problem of not being able to train [drivers] seems to have been partially solved.
While Mu Zhong was disassembling these parts, he was also improving his professional abilities. This knowledge might be a little scattered, but when he goes to the "Driver Professional Temple" again, he will make rapid progress.
Wei Huan lent a hand to help Mu Zhong move the heavy objects.
He rarely summons the undead in the car, and he prefers not to have a gloomy atmosphere where he lives.
After finishing the moving work, he would practice real combat skills nearby.
Now that you don’t have to drive yourself and don’t even have to open a treasure chest, all you have to do is work hard to improve yourself.
Two hours passed in a flash.
As we were about to arrive at the scheduled time, the intelligent butler reminded us, "Captain, we have traveled 1,600 kilometers. During this time, we have opened one silver treasure chest, 13 black iron treasure chests, and 8 bronze treasure chests, but have not explored any ruins."
After a pause, the smart butler continued to ask: "Do you want to continue?"
Wei Huan was sweating profusely during the training and was in high spirits.
Mu Zhong also focused on disassembling the parts in his hands, concentrating on his work.
After thinking about it, the number of treasure chest monsters following the car was not enough to fill the gap in my teeth.
Wei Huan said, "Keep moving forward at a steady pace. If you encounter ruins, or after two hours, remind me."
"Roger that, Captain."
However, after this interruption, Wei Huan no longer had the desire to continue training.
He stopped training, washed his face briefly, then took a bottle of water and went to the cab.
Passing by the living room, Mu Zhong was so engrossed in dismantling something that he didn't even raise his head.
Wei Huan's lips curled slightly.
The awakening of a profession must be the one that suits you best. Mu Zhong always said that he didn't understand why he awakened to the "driver sequence", but what was the truth?
I have become addicted to this profession and cannot extricate myself.
…
Back in the cab, the view suddenly widened.
The windshield takes up almost half of the room, and you can clearly see the temperature outside that is so hot that the air is distorted, as well as the monotonous and dazzling sand dunes.
It's just a level three windshield that has been adjusted very intelligently, so that when you look out, you can see the scenery outside clearly without feeling uncomfortable.
Wei Huan sat in the driver's seat.
This is a soft, semi-enclosed chair that perfectly fits the curve of the human body.
Right in the middle of the windshield, there is no passenger seat on either side.
There are protruding cabinets on both sides of the room, which can hold a lot of things, and he casually puts empty mineral water bottles on top of them.
When he sits on the seat, it sinks slightly, wrapping his body very comfortably.
Then, according to his request, you can either sit there or move forward about half a meter.
The seat, pushed forward, fits perfectly into the cabinet.
The round steering wheel was brought directly in front of him.
Looking around, I felt a very strange feeling.
I knew there was a large space behind me, and that this was not a car at all, but a room.
But after he sat here, his perspective and physical sensation returned to the same as before the upgrade.
The familiar feeling of driving.
After he got into the driver's seat, the smart butler asked, "Captain, do you need to switch to manual driving?"
Wei Huan said, "No need."
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Huan is an experienced driver with rich driving experience.
But human power is limited, and even he could not keep driving at 500 miles per hour for several hours without an accident.
"Autonomous driving" is a must for future road challenges. The main job of challengers has changed from boring driving to opening treasure chests and exploring ruins.
And through the items in the treasure chest, he quickly absorbed and evolved madly, and finally fought against the Dark Beast Lord on the front line.
The focus of road challenges has always been survival and development, not being a driver.
After looking outside the car for a while, Wei Huan withdrew his gaze and turned on the projection screen on the windshield.
He originally wanted to see what he had just opened and whether there were any level 4 components that could be upgraded.
Starting from the fourth level vehicle, most of the parts are dropped in the silver treasure chest.
Not only are there few of them, but the treasure chest monsters are also very powerful.
It has almost reached the point where, unless one is from a very powerful team, no one would dare to open the silver treasure chest even if they saw it.
Not to mention the gold treasure chest.
For the current challenge legion that is upgrading from level 4 to level 5, every time a golden treasure chest is opened, it is a war full of crises.
Sometimes, those who challenge the Legion would rather face a visible horde of alien monsters than the random monsters that appear when a golden chest is opened.
So far, Wei Huan has opened high-level treasure chests that others cannot even dream of, but when he reached this stage and really needed to use the supplies, he discovered.
There is not a single one that can be upgraded.
The predicament from the previous life suddenly came upon me.
It took him five years to advance from Sequence Three to Sequence Four.
Accumulate little by little, endure little by little...
But soon, this feeling of powerlessness receded quickly like the tide.
This life is different, I can definitely go further and further.
After confirming that there was nothing to upgrade, Wei Huan finally set his gaze on the chat room.
Only after taking a look did I realize that something was wrong.
[You weren't the only one who discovered the ruins. You didn't dare to open the silver treasure chest, but I did. Why are you occupying it and not letting me open it?]
…
[Liu Feng, I know it's you! You stole my treasure map fragments, and I'm not done with you! This fight will last until death! !]
…
Someone is killing people in the ruins! Don't go to the ruins at coordinates 12334·2422. Many people have died.
…
[Report coordinates, do you really want to die? ]
…
[Guan Jiayang: Please, everyone, calm down and don't kill each other. Our only opponents are the Dark Beast Tribe.]
[Gu Jiayang: Staying alive is the most important thing. Think about your parents and relatives. Calm down. They are waiting for you to return.]
…
When Wei Huan saw this, his brows slightly frowned.
I know what I was worried about has finally come.
This phenomenon is by no means an isolated case, but is extremely common.
When ruins appear and there is bound to be a treasure chest inside, the challenger who leaves the vehicle to explore will lose the last refuge.
At the same time, in the depths of darkness, it seemed as if the shackles of morality had been opened, and everyone turned into a devil.
Greed and arrogance are the root of human inferiority. In the face of temptation, no matter how much society appeals and schools teach, in the end, we will succumb to the temptation of desire deep in the darkness.
It's always going to be chaotic for a while.
Then, awakening from the fear, order can be restored.
Wei Huan asked the smart butler, "How long will it take if I call 12334·2422?"
The smart steward said: "We will deviate from the current course for 23 minutes."
Wei Huan was slightly surprised and said to himself, "Only 23 minutes?"
The intelligent butler heard it and analyzed: "Yes, the coordinates are 256.23 kilometers to our right. At the current speed, it will take 23 minutes to reach."
"What about full speed?"
"It can reach a full speed of 670 mph in just 16 minutes."
"Then go over there at full speed and take a look."
"OK."
The smart butler controls the vehicle to the left, and the slight tilt and acceleration can be felt in the cab.
But when I returned to the room, this feeling disappeared.
Wei Huan leaned his body slightly while thinking.
They had stayed in the ruins for too long. Even though they were driving at a speed of 500 miles per hour, they still couldn't break away from the main group.
The direction we are heading is even a little further ahead.
Previously, in the primary challenge, Wei Huan’s maximum speed was 350 miles per hour.
After entering the second-level challenge, he upgraded to a third-level engine, third-level tires, third-level shock absorbers, and aerodynamic tires improved with special drawings, and his speed has been increased to 520 miles.
After that, the entire vehicle was upgraded, and the speed increased by another 150 mph, eventually reaching 670 mph.
This speed almost reaches the fastest speed of a small aircraft flying in the air.
The reason why it did not maintain a speed of 670 miles per hour was because the Ghost Crow could no longer keep up with this speed.
This also made Wei Huan confirm once again that he really needed to speed up the pace of professional training.
Otherwise, you will miss out on more than just speed.
Even at a speed of 670 miles per hour, the Ghost Crow couldn't open the box, and the smart housekeeper's scanning radius didn't find the box either.
Wei Huan heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he should be back on the main road. He had searched the entire way and there was no way there would be any more boxes.
That's good, I didn't miss out on a lot of billions...
After about seven or eight minutes, Wei Huan saw the dust raised by the vehicles in front.
The smart butler also reminded: "Challenger vehicles have been detected ahead."
"Surpass him." Wei Huan said.
"good."
So, without any intention of slowing down, Wei Huan's car passed the front like a gust of wind.
A young challenger who was also heading to the coordinate location, wanting to see the so-called ruins and join in the fun, was enduring the high temperature of the desert and was driving dizzy.
Suddenly, I saw a gust of dust flying, and something suddenly ran to the front.
Car?
Impossible, this is too fast!
Compared to that speed, it seemed like I was standing still.
So, is it a monster? Or is it a sandstorm?
Looking at the direction the dust was going, it seemed to be the same as his goal.
The young challenger slammed on the brakes and froze in place.
The excitement above suddenly subsided.
He thought about it in doubt and finally turned the steering wheel and drove in a different direction.
Whether it was a wandering monster, a natural disaster, or a challenger, the speed was completely beyond his imagination.
If something unexpected happens... I'm afraid I won't even be able to escape.
This person is very rational and knows how to adjust in time.
But Wei Huan encountered more than one car along the way.
The closer you get to the target ruins, the more cars you will overtake.
When the owners of those cars saw the dust raised by him overtaking, they shouted excitedly in the chat room.
[Oh my god! What just flew past? Before I could react, I was already choking on exhaust fumes.]
Did you see it too? I saw it too! It was a white van with unusual wheels, seemingly suspended in mid-air.
[Rare and surprising, aerodynamic tires, special blueprints, but not too rare, I've learned it too, and I almost have enough materials to upgrade.]
"That speed, I'm afraid it can't be achieved by upgrading a tire. Fast! Too fast!"
[With a humming sound, I spun around a hundred times.]
【Hahaha! 】
The chat room was filled with bloody curses, but the atmosphere changed slightly because of Wei Huan's appearance.
Even though no one knew that the person in the car was him, in the road challenge, "speed" is almost synonymous with "strength".
Everyone knew that a big boss was rushing over.
Just like before, the person who threatened to die if he gave his coordinates spoke in the chat room.
Zhang Tian: That's good now. Someone's here, and we can't take anyone else's money.
[Zhang Tian: I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you.]
Zhang Tian: Damn it! If you can, don't hide in the car! I'll find you when I get back. You'll be in trouble!
After reading three consecutive messages, it was clear that the man named Zhang Tian was furious.
In the chat room, some people were watching the fun and started making jokes.
Some people were genuinely curious. "What's going on here? Can't we team up and explore together? Even if it's a monster in a silver treasure chest, two or three professionals should be able to kill it at this stage, right?"
Someone immediately responded that he was being naive and foolish. "I opened a treasure chest and the supplies went straight to my car. I finally finished the game, but what do I do if I can't share them? If there's no trust, it's best not to team up with others easily. Who knows if they're real or not?"
Trust is mutual, right? I'm a praying person, and I hope to team up with someone. We can just split the supplies in half according to the rules.
[Rather than bringing a nanny, it's better to team up with two combat classes at this stage. The Prayer's healing is not as fast as my own healing.]
[The Prayer's Holy Light Bottle can be purchased at the auction house. It only takes a few points. Why would you bring a burden with you?]
Wei Huan's eyes fell on the name that spoke last, "Imai".
It’s more like a surname than a name, the surname of Sangshu Country.
The reason why Wei Huan was so sure was that since the initial challenge, every time Shi Hengjun spoke, this guy named Imai would speak.
Sometimes he flatters Shi Hengjun, sometimes he builds momentum for Shi Hengjun, and like now, he is always stirring up trouble and creating controversy.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the chat room, which had just improved due to Wei Huan's appearance, was immediately filled with hostility again.
Some people support Imai's remarks, believing that at the current stage there is no need to bring healing and support professions with you and burden yourself.
There are many more people who, because of their usual school education, know the importance of these non-combat professions, which can only be reflected on the battlefield. They are a group that needs their help and kindness.
The inflammatory remarks brought about a new round of debate in the chat room.
Imai would occasionally fan the flames.
It's hard to imagine what purpose he has in doing this. It can't be that he just does it for fun. That would be even more hateful. He must be a born devil.
However, there are still some people who are not firm in their stance and follow the other party's rhythm once they are fooled.
Little did they know that they had become a "knife" in the hands of the other side, stabbing their compatriots.
Wei Huan wrote down the name, and when he came back to his senses, it was the smart butler informing him that he was about to arrive at his destination.
The smart butler said: "Ruins detected ahead. Would you like to switch to manual driving?"
Wei Huan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, turned it gently, and the driving rights returned to his hands.
Smart Butler: "Changed to manual mode. Happy driving."
The speed dropped to 50 miles per hour.
Wei Huan drove the car and slowly slid forward.
After climbing over the last small hill, he saw a ruin.
The appearance of this ruin looks familiar, with a broken eggshell on the outside and a circular passage leading downwards. It should be the cave of the scaly snake.
Outside the ruins, there were more than 20 cars parked.
These old, dilapidated white vans were scattered all over the place, forming a half circle around the ruins.
Yellow sand blew past, hitting the slits in the roof, a chilling feeling like a bow being drawn. A flash of blue electricity flashed across the car's surface, deflecting all the wind and sand half a meter away, forming a protective shield like a film.
Their car heads were almost facing outwards, with the windows tightly closed, so no one could be seen inside.
They maintained an extremely restrained and vigilant distance from each other.
I didn't see any blood all over the chat room.
Is it inside the cave?
Wei Huan passed through the gap between two cars and drove closer to the ruins.
"drop--!!"
“Ding Di—!!”
Before he could move, a car horn sounded behind him, like a warning.
Wei Huan ignored him and continued driving forward.
“Ding ding ding—!!”
“Ding ding ding—!!”
This time the whistle was even louder.
The sound was so loud that it came from all directions, as if all the cars were honking.
Wei Huan was annoyed by the noise, so he turned the steering wheel to the left as far as it would go, floated in the air, and turned the car 180 degrees to face everyone.
In the chat room, Zhang Tian was roaring again.
Zhang Tian: New here, you want to die, don't you? It's just a powered hover wheel, what's so great about it?
This is indeed a stupid one.
There were clearly more than 20 cars here, and most of them honked their horns, but no one showed up.
Only Zhang Tian was shouting, "No matter how you divide it, I won't accept it. I discovered the ruins first, and we saw the treasure chest first. You must stay here. At worst, the dungeon will close and we'll die together!"
[The one in front, why don't you get out of here? It's not your turn to go in! I'll count to three, and then I'll start!]
【one】
【two】
【three! 】
As soon as he finished speaking, three of the four cars closest to the ruins opened the doors of their arrow towers at the same time and moved the cars forward three meters.
Zhang Tian said in the chat group: [Get lost! Don’t force me to go on a killing spree! !]
When Wei Huan saw this, he finally understood why this guy named Zhang Tian was so arrogant.
He has allies.
There are three vehicles, and they all look like second-level arrow towers.
No wonder he is so arrogant.
At the current stage, most people have not yet formed a team, and in the case of a level one vehicle, a level two arrow tower is enough to easily blow up a vehicle.
The key is that they still have three.
I think, if they had not been unable to drive when entering the ruins to explore, with the strength of their three cars, they could indeed fight against the scaly snake in the silver treasure chest and eventually win.
This is the inference.
Perhaps Zhang Tian was indeed the first to discover the ruins.
Just when he was waiting for his teammates to come, he was discovered by outsiders and his coordinates were exposed.
That's why he's so irritable.
Successfully opening a silver treasure chest can be worth about 2 million. If you are lucky, you can get the most in-demand farmer series equipment and sell it for even more.
make money!
It is the main purpose of most people to risk their lives and return to challenge the world again.
Letting them watch as they can’t get their money is denying their lives!!
While Wei Huan was thinking, the three cars moved a little closer.
He had counted to three, but he hadn't launched the attack yet.
It doesn't seem to be particularly crazy or without bottom line.
Wei Huan neither spoke nor summoned his army of undead.
Just notify the smart butler: "Turn on defense mode."
So, under the gaze of everyone, this car, which was just a shabby white mini van, was the same as them except that its wheels were sideways and suspended in the air. However, in the next second, a blue protective shield light ball with a radius of 3 meters appeared.
Under the car, two rows of rolling serrations appeared.
If these two exterior parts are not obvious enough, then when the two-story arrow tower on the roof rises, its identity will be clear.
…
"Is it a level three arrow tower!?"
…
"Look, this protective shield should be level three!"
…
"So, is this a Level 2 vehicle? Or... a Level 3 vehicle?"
…
"Tsk! Regardless of whether it's a tier 2 or tier 3 vehicle, right now, Boss Wei is the only one in our district who has upgraded to a tier 2 vehicle, right?"
Various thoughts collided in the mind, and the smarter ones immediately made the correct association.
[Is it Boss Wei? ]
[Ahhhhhhhh!? I saw the real person, mom! This trip was worth it! !]
[Big Brother Wei Huan! It’s Big Brother Wei Huan!! Who dares to be so arrogant? It can only be my godfather!!]
Then, the chat room started talking.
[What? Where is Boss Wei Huan?]
[Could it be that Boss Wei was the one who just passed me? Oh my god, the dust he kicked up is so pretty!!]
That exhaust, cool!
[I hate it, I was just a few seconds late! Can someone describe to me what the boss's car looks like? Is it a sports car, or an off-road skin? I think the boss should buy a rocket skin.]
[Pfft! Help! Am I the only one who thinks Rocket's skin is the ugliest? It looks like a stunt! Hahahaha...]
Strangely enough, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
It was like an umbrella was suddenly opened above my head. Although I was still walking in the storm, I inexplicably felt that I had some protection.
If there is a slight difference in strength, there will be jealousy and competition.
But if the difference in strength is huge, it would be like a mortal meeting a god, and all he could do was worship him and hope for his protection.
The chat room was already in an uproar, and the conflicts and quarrels that Imai had just deliberately created were instantly resolved.
Many people even lined up in the chat room to call out.
[I'm going to 12334·2422 to see Boss Wei, not to fight for resources. Thank you.]
[I also want to go see Boss Wei and not compete for resources.]
【Watch out for the boss and don't fight for resources. 】
【look……】
The speeches below were all exactly the same, and hundreds of people lined up to see "Boss Wei".
Boss Wei himself: "..."
