The highway merged
Chapter 39
【Bioalloy Fusion 88%】
Mu Zhong also saw it and said, "It will take most of the day."
"Um."
"I've been really curious for a long time."
"Same."
Mu Zhong's thoughts unfolded: "You said that after this upgrade is completed, will our car's appearance change into a giant spider? Or will its shell change into a biological shell?"
"Probably a biological shell."
"I'd rather have a giant spider. It's very cool." Mu Zhong glanced in the rearview mirror. "Actually, our car still looks like a minivan. How many points do you have now? Do you want to buy a skin?"
This reminded Wei Huan, and he said that there was something he had not done.
Exit the upgrade directory and open the mall this time.
Wei Huan’s current points are displayed in the upper right corner of the mall.
Points: 10037
"Hiss!" Mu Zhong's eyebrows shot up. "Even though I've known for a while that there were over ten thousand, seeing it with my own eyes is still different."
Wei Huan nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He had never accumulated so many points in his two lifetimes.
After admiring the items for a short while, Wei Huan quickly found the items he needed and clicked to buy without hesitation.

After purchase, the microscopic world is upgraded directly.
From outside the crystal ball, one can clearly see that the white mist is rapidly dispersing in all directions, revealing a large area of uncultivated land in the middle.
After the upgrade, their usable area reached 256 square meters, and the time flow rate was increased to 8:1.
Such a large space can fully meet the daily needs of a five-person team, whether for breeding or planting.
Of course, if you want to eat something delicious and different, you still need to open boxes and kill monsters.
Mu Zhong had been informed about the upgrade of the microscopic world a long time ago, although he didn't quite understand where Wei Huan's strength came from, so why was he under such great pressure to survive?
But thinking that this microscopic world is managed by myself, and the larger the space, the greater the improvement in my mental power, there is no reason to object.
But now that they had finished buying things, they still had 5,000 points left. Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan, "What other plans do you have?"
Wei Huan had already started the car and drove out, saying, "You arrange it."
"Is it okay for me to buy a cool and stylish skin?"
"Um."
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It feels like being supported by a domineering CEO."
Wei Huan didn't bother to pay attention to him. Isn't it the deputy captain's job to use the points reasonably?
Mu Zhong seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said directly, "But whose deputy captain has the right to use more than 5,000 points?" Mu Zhong glanced at the mall. "Permanent whitening cream is only 30 points. Do you know how much money this is?"
Wei Huan nodded: "I know."
"so?"
"You can buy skin care products or whitening creams, just arrange it."
Mu Zhong pouted, "Who wants to buy whitening cream? 24° North Latitude Golden Wheat Skin, I'm very satisfied. Okay, okay, let me see how to use these points appropriately."
Wei Huan smiled and released his undead army while driving.
The Earth Beast and Shuuma guarded the car, while the Ghost Crows scattered in all directions and went directly into the forest.
It didn't take long for the harvest to come.

【Get water collector (small) X1】
【Get 1 baguette】
"Water Collector! Great stuff!" Mu Zhong, who was studying the points, looked over. "In desert areas, the effectiveness of the Water Collector is reduced. It's available in the Points Mall, but the price is higher. The more of this thing, the better."
"How many do we have now?"
"Six, all small water collectors. I'm worried they won't be enough. It would be great if we could just open a large water collector."
"There's still time." Wei Huan said, looking at the army of undead outside the car.
For a second-level grave patroller, the maximum distance between the undead army and him is 3 kilometers. As he deepens his cultivation in this sequence, the number of kilometers will slowly increase.
A distance of 3 kilometers is already a very large area, and you can drive to more things, so there is no need to worry if you are missing anything.
In less than two minutes, another treasure chest was found and opened.
[Obtain tire reinforcement blueprint (1)]
【get……】
Another bronze treasure chest.
But even so, the feeling of getting free supplies is still very satisfying, and Wei Huan feels like he is opening a treasure chest to the top again.
He wished he could advance to the ninth professional level right away. By then, he would be able to conquer half of the planet in the Dark Beast Realm.
Beautiful picture.
For this reason, we cannot miss a single minute of practice.
Ten minutes later, the tire was the first to be upgraded to level 3, and the speedometer's upper limit was raised to 400 miles per hour.
Then, the shock absorption was upgraded to level 3, and the upper limit was raised again to 450 mph.
With manual driving, it is difficult to reach the highest speed on the highway.
The speed overflowed.
"After I upgrade my Level 3 vehicle, I'll buy an autonomous driving AI." Mu Zhong had already noticed this situation. "88 points for the basic AI, 888 points for the intermediate AI, and the rest for buying materials to upgrade the Level 3 vehicle as soon as possible. As for the duplicate materials from opening boxes, what are your thoughts?"
Wei Huan thought: "Compared to the point price in the mall, it is sold at a 20% discount, and auxiliary professions can be sold at a 50% discount."
Mu nodded: "Yes, that's right. A little kindness breeds resentment, and giving away for free will only breed a bunch of parasites."
Wei Huan thought so too.
He was so generous in the primary challenge because many people had no choice but to enter the challenge world and pass this level.
It’s different now. Those who come in make their own choices, so they have to take the risks.
So you can give it a discount, but you can’t give it away for free.
Next, Mu Zhong began the tedious tasks of clearing inventory, checking prices, and listing items at the auction house.
I was busy in the system and the notebook in my hand was filled with words, so I didn't even have time to talk.
Wei Huan drove quietly and thanked Mu Chong again for getting in the car.
Otherwise, this kind of trouble will happen to you.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to do these things, it’s just that driving a car to open a treasure chest is more cost-effective.
For a while, both of them were doing what they were good at and didn't talk to each other for a long time.
Until the screen jumps again.
[Get Silver Agility Leather Boots X1]
[Obtain the car exterior sawtooth blueprint (three) x1]
【Get special-shaped screws X5】
【get……】
Silver treasure chest!!
And it just happened to be the level 3 drawing that I needed.
Wei Huan slowly slowed down the car until it came to a complete stop.
Mu Zhong, who was busy, glanced at him, then continued to bury his head in writing and painting, and asked absentmindedly: "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan said, "Brush the natives."
"Um?"
“Look at the indigenous strength of the secondary roads.”
"Oh." Mu Zhong wrote two words and said, "I'm just here to deliver food."
Wei Huan was amused: "Look."
"Uh-huh."
As he spoke, Mu Zhong put the silver agility leather boots he had just obtained on the auction house, with a price tag of 160 points.
Even with a 20% discount, it is difficult for anyone to afford it at this time.
But there is always an idea behind it. If it is more extreme, several people can pool their points on one person to create a strong person, which is also possible.
Once you reach the Level 2 highway and upgrade your car to Level 2, you no longer have to fight alone, you can get in the car and form a team like Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
At this stage, ambitious people will form strong alliances and make a big leap in strength.
Therefore, when Mu Zhong came to join the team despite being seriously injured, it was equivalent to using up Wei Huan's teammate quota for the level 2 vehicle in advance.
Mu Zhong is capable and can help. If he is incapable and is still dying waiting for Wei Huan to treat him, it would be like adding another burden.
Of course, both parties are very satisfied now.
Mu Zhong didn't think he was the type to cling to others, but he did.
Wei Huan was even happier. With Mu Zhong, he could not only increase his troops but also achieve the best "cost-effectiveness".
After waiting for a while, rustling sounds came from the forest outside the road.
Wei Huan, who had received the report from Ghost Crow long ago, arranged for Xiu Luoma and Facehugger to go there.
Then, his undead creature encountered a group of half-meter-sized living facehuggers at the edge of the forest.
In other words, the natives that emerged from the silver treasure chest turned into earth beasts.
At the current stage, there are only a few second-level professions, and even a few second-level vehicles. Opening a silver treasure chest will risk opening a three-star dark beast. The difficulty of challenging the world is increasing too quickly.
However, no matter how powerful the underground beast is, it is nothing in Wei Huan's eyes.
Even if a Shuroma four-star was only a skeleton left, he could still fight against these level 0 "kids" with one punch each, and with four legs he could stomp on them, shattering them into a mass of green juice without having to worry about being burned or contaminated.
When the Earth Beast Warriors came out, Shuroma could have fought them one on one, but under Wei Huan's order, they fought four against one.
After an inhumane beating, the Earth Beast Warrior was turned into a pulp.
Finally, the mother earth beast arrived late.
It was huge, with one of its legs being ten meters long. It squeezed a path out of the depths of the forest, shaking the treetops, and the feeling of passing through was very oppressive.
But when he walked out of the forest, he saw the corpses of his summoned creatures and a huge group of undead who were staring at him covetously.
The spider stretched out its legs and then tremblingly retracted them, as if it was cautiously thinking it had taken the wrong path. It twisted its body, and all eight legs flew up, trying to run away.
“Crack!”
The anus-digging brother suddenly pounced up and bit the female ground beast on the butt.
The female earth beast screamed miserably.
Run faster.
But no matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as Rome.
As a higher star species, whose size gives them the advantage of running, the Xuroma are extremely terrifying both in sprinting and in endurance.
In a blink of an eye, the Earth Beast was surrounded by nine Xiu Romes.
The green flames in the nine pairs of eyes were jumping, eerie and cold.

[Get Diamond Canine Teeth X2]
[Get Yak Milk (Bucket) X1]
…
While fighting the mother earth beast, other treasure chest monsters also rushed over one after another and joined the melee.
But this amount is nothing, and they are no match for Wei Huan at all.
He stayed there for only five minutes and killed all the treasure chest monsters, only losing two wolves, some facehuggers, and half a Xiu Luoma.
The mother earth beast's counterattack before death was quite powerful.
Wei Huan had always treated the Earth Beast as a mobile mount + arsenal, ignoring that it also had combat capabilities.
As a result, half of the body of a Xiu Luoma was grabbed by the female earth beast and thrown in the air, and was almost torn apart.
After sending the damaged souls back to the tomb, Wei Huan's consciousness also sank into the tomb. With a time difference of 5:1 between the inside and the outside, it took only two seconds for him to repair Shuroma and summon him back.
Wei Huan started the car again and drove along the road. After getting over his excitement, he felt less nervous after understanding the difficulty of the current world.
He reduced the speed of the car to a level that he could fully control and focused his attention on the chat room.
There are 357 people online in the district?
If Wei Huan remembered correctly, in his previous life, when he entered the road challenge again, the first time he saw there were only 89 people online.
Is this nearly five times the number of people? How could this change be so dramatic?
But soon, he got the information he wanted from the chat content in the chat room.
[Seeing Boss Wei schedule a challenge, I immediately signed up for one too.]
【Me too. 】
[Hehehe, I confess, I'm here just to cling to the boss's thighs.]
"No, I just wanted to thank Boss Wei for donating weapons and equipment during the primary challenge. Not only did I survive, but the materials Boss Wei donated on Blue Star also gave us a Level 5 vehicle. I came here just to thank Boss Wei."
[I'm grateful for that, really. My grandfather told me that if I followed Boss Wei, I'd definitely make it big. So as soon as the app notified Boss Wei that he was ready to sign up, I signed up.]
[+1]
[Wow, am I the only one who's different? My mom forced me to sign up, and the reason was exactly the same: life is easy with Boss Wei. Wow, but I don't want to be a challenger!]
The difficulty of the highway challenge increases significantly from the first-class highway to the ninth-class highway, and it is a step-by-step process. Without the corresponding strength, it is impossible to move forward.
Participation on the first-class highway is mandatory. It is an individual battle and survival on your own. Unless you are a special case like Mu Zhong, you cannot get on the car and form a team.
Secondary highways are a regional battle.
The third-level highway is a national war.
The fourth-level highway is the Blue Star Battlefield, and it is also the area where the "Blue Star Force" is currently located.
A large number of alien beast tribes will appear on the fifth, sixth and seventh level roads. Before Wei Huan was reborn, he heard that these alien beasts were the defeated party in challenging the world and became NPCs of the world. Their only value was to be killed and then drop items.
The eighth-level highway is more like a star road than a highway, because the tanks at that time have become [space fortresses].
As for what the ninth-level highway was, Wei Huan had no idea. He only knew that the victorious civilization was destined to break out of the universe.
Every time you complete a road challenge and return to the real world, a star will light up in the Challenger APP, and the reservation channel for the next road challenge will be opened.
[Appointment Channel] has a countdown, a total of 30 days.
As long as you make an appointment to enter the challenge within the time and stay in the challenge for the required minimum time, you can not only return to the real world in the middle of the challenge, but the countdown will also be refreshed, and your "challenger" status will be retained.
in other words.
After leaving the Novice Village, challengers have much more freedom in exploring the challenge world. They are no longer forced to move forward, but focus more on exploring the world.
Even on secondary roads, you can see some high-level challengers who spend a lot of money to come back from the front to "protect the road".
Of course, this kind of "return" is not normalized.
The cost was too high, and those who came back couldn't drive, so their combat effectiveness was halved.
Instead of arranging people to come back to "protect the road", some parents who love their sons dearly might as well spend a lot of money to buy some equipment outside, which can also provide good protection.
But most people in this world are ordinary people.
There are also many parents who are ordinary themselves but still want their children to be successful.
They have neither money nor connections, so they can only arrange their children's lives based on their own understanding.
For example, some parents, or challengers themselves, firmly believe that if they follow Wei Huan into the challenge world, they will be protected and have a greater chance of survival.
So when Wei Huan opened the chat room, he saw his own name all over the screen.
I'm afraid that most of these 357 online challengers are here for their own reasons.
What Wei Huan felt was not pride, but full of pressure.
Only he himself knew that he was not as great and selfless as they thought, nor was he a saint at all.
The reason why he gave away the equipment for free was simply because he had too much of it.
His ability to open a treasure chest alone is comparable to that of a hundred people, so it is not a loss for him to take out some things that he can't use.
What's more, once he reaches the secondary highway, his equipment will not be given away in vain.
At least, he wants to recover part of the cost.
This also led to the emergence of other voices.
"What? The things at the auction house are so expensive? Silver equipment costs 160 points? How many points does everyone have these days? Why don't they just go grab them?"
[Isn't this just robbery? Just as greedy as the capitalists.]
[Silver 160, Iron 32, Bronze 8, I'm just laughing. I came here for the boss's name, but ended up getting my life sucked and treated like a leek. Who understands, my family?]
The so-called "greed leads to greed" phenomenon occurred as expected.
There are always some people who wish they could complete the challenge by lying down, and believe that the strong should give them equipment for free and support them.
Even though Wei Huan had already offered a 20% discount on the goods according to the points mall, many people still felt that the price was too high and wished for a 10% or 20% discount, or even wanted to give them away for free.
[縢嘉阳: Thanks to Wei Huan for selling equipment at 20% off. Many support class equipment is also 40% off. If you have the right class, you can buy it directly. Don't miss out.]
After Jiayang’s statement, many people in the chat room followed suit.
[Thanks to Wei Huan, the boss. He gave me a piece of equipment during the initial challenge, and now I'm buying another piece. As a support profession, I feel the kindness of this world.]
[Thanks to the +1, I pooled my points with my friends and bought a Black Iron weapon. It's super powerful. I used it right after opening the Black Iron treasure chest and immediately earned it back.]
How can some people be so shameless? They're already offering such great deals, yet they're still complaining. Do they think they can just sit back and make money and enter a challenging world?
[Hey, I know this question. Some people see the boss win and just come in to curry favor. Curb it if you want, what's your attitude? Look at me, godfather. I'm obedient. My 180cm tall son can fight, carry, and clean. He can be your confidant. Godfather, can you give your son a chance to show your filial piety?]
Overall, Wei Huan's actions received positive rewards.
And even if there wasn't, he wouldn't change his decision. It was impossible to give it away for free.
As time went on, there were fewer people discussing him, and many people were complaining about the difficulty of the level 2 challenge.
[I opened a Black Iron treasure chest and got a Stealth Cat, which nearly killed me instantly! Luckily, I bought a piece of endurance armor, and with a layer of health back, I got back to the car and successfully killed it.]
[I passed the primary challenge with a low score. It was too difficult. I don't even dare to open the black iron box now. I regret booking the challenge.]
[The little shrimp died in a corner with no one paying attention. With all his passion, who knew if he had walked into a death trap?]
However, although this is a tough battle for survival for some challengers, it is full of opportunities for some people who are confident enough to embark on the "challenger's path".
Early on, people formed teams, with one party temporarily giving up their own car and joining the car of a teammate with stronger development.
In this way, even if you open a treasure chest and get a native treasure chest monster, a two-to-one situation can basically be solved relatively easily.
And there are points rewards for killing natives.
Including the points earned from completing the primary challenge and the points from teammates, the black iron equipment that Mu Zhong put in the auction house sold the best.
Especially the 50% off auxiliary profession equipment. I thought it would be more difficult to score points for auxiliary professions, but as long as you find teammates you trust, their presence will make the survival rate of the entire team higher.
The output profession will also continue to invest in the auxiliary profession.
Besides, it’s 50% off.
After the black iron equipment was snatched away one after another, some people were eager to try and set their sights on the silver-level equipment.
160 points is a lot, but it also increases a lot of attributes.
For the healing profession, only 100 points are required.
Wearing a set of silver equipment, with the cooperation of two people, he even dared to open the silver treasure chest.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhong, who had suddenly come to his senses, said, "The environment is changing little by little."
"Um."
Mu Zhong looked outside the car: "The trees have become much thinner and shorter."
"Um."
Just then, a road extended from the other side of the forest, and the two roads merged into one.
"And so."
Wei Huan was driving fast. Mu Zhong turned his head to look at the road that was going away and said, "I heard that during the first two years of the challenge, this road was littered with the corpses of our own people.
They regarded this place as a lawless world, where extremely vicious people would kill and plunder. There were even rumors during that time that killing people could get vehicle cores and allow them to upgrade to a higher level for free.
Later, it was the state’s promotion of science that put an end to this unhealthy trend of internecine violence.”
Wei Huan nodded: "The purpose of challenging the world is not to completely destroy a race, but to make a race evolve through war."
After thinking about it, he added, "It's just that the process is too cruel, and it's forced."
Mu Zhong reminded: "Still have to be careful. It is true that looting can speed up your leveling. There are always some people who want to improve their strength quickly."
Wei Huan was reminded, thought of something, raised his hand and tapped on the screen.
[District Channel] became [National Channel].
Only those who can speak on the national channel at this time are truly talented and powerful.
Wei Huan opened the [National Channel], but there was not much content on it.
The first message came from the number one in District 302, Du Yiluan.
Du Yilun (302-1-Du Yilun): Am I number one?
One minute later.
Du Yilun (302-1-Du Yilun): I'm number one! Number one in 302! Number one in all of Daxia, hahahaha!
[Shao Yuan (12321-1-Shao Yuan): Idiot.]
One minute later.
Du Yilun: You're the idiot! Are you sick? Did I provoke you? Did you grow up eating poop guns?
Shao Yuan: Your name isn't even on the leaderboard. There are at least Wei Huan and You Wuyi ahead of you. You think you're better than them? Are you shameless? And Daxia has 20 million people joining the challenge every year. There are so many geniuses. Those who make it into the top 30 in the world have basically advanced two levels in their careers after just the initial challenge. Seven of them from Daxia. Are you among them?
There was no sound in the channel after that.
2 hours later.
That is, 13 minutes ago, new news appeared.
You Wuyi (1567-1-You Wuyi): Is Wei Huan here? Add him as a friend.
This is the final news.
After reading it, Mu Zhong said, "It's You Wuyi. Do you want to add him?"
You Wuyi, a genius cultivated by the Southwest Army, is Commander Dong’s true confidant.
When he saw You Wuyi, Mu Zhong remembered something, but he glanced at Wei Huan and didn't say anything.
Genius is indeed precious, but it can never compare to a person who is both a genius and a confidant.
I don’t know whether Wei Huan knows this.
