The next morning, when Xia Chuhe and his group set off, they ran into the representative of Dream City who brought a group of people to dig the ground.
The representative drove a small four-wheeled car, while the workers rode motorcycles in groups of two or three.
The representative glared at Li Yue and spoke to the workers with an unfriendly tone: "A bunch of ugly, old bumpkins, thinking they can get into our Dream City? They're dreaming!"
The workers flattered him: "Yes, the Dream Star tour is coming to our West District soon. Those out-of-towners will definitely be smitten when they see it."
The representative scoffed, "Do they even deserve to see Dream Star? The tour is about to begin, and security at the city gates needs to be increased. I'm going to help the district chief prepare for the tour's reception and selection process. You all do a good job, and the Moon Goddess will reward you."
The workers were overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes, Goddess Moon, we will definitely work hard!"
The representative got into the four-wheeled car, slammed on the gas, and sped away.
...
Xia Chuhe ignored the veiled sarcasm from Dream City; she was looking at the living map with Zhu Guanshan.
The map shows that Dream City is divided into five districts: East, West, South, North, and Central. The West District is the closest to them. To get to the North and South Districts, they would need to pass through an additional dungeon. Since they didn't obtain any of the dungeons along the way from the locator, entering them rashly is not a good choice.
Xia Chuhe pointed to the direction leading directly to the West District on the map, roughly halfway down the road: "Qiusheng, go here and wait for me. You know what to do, right?"
Li Qiusheng shook his head excitedly, looking like he had ADHD: "Of course, boss, please have some fun!"
Li Qiusheng used his supernatural ability to leave first, while the remaining seven people got into two SUVs and drove towards Dream City.
...
The newly appeared area is noticeably better than other places; outside the original site of the five-star hotel instance, a sandstorm is raging.
In the distance, Xia Chuhe saw a small black dot growing larger and larger ahead, with tiny white figures standing on it, waving frantically at them. As they got closer, they realized the black dot was a car stuck in a sand pit, and the waving figure was a representative from Dream City.
Xia Chuhe slowed down and, on behalf of the driver, chased after the car, shouting, "Friend, please help me tow my car out!"
Xia Chuhe deliberately rolled down half of the car window: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
The representative's smile froze on his face. He gave a dry laugh and said, "Haha, what a coincidence. We're old acquaintances. Could you please help me tow my car out? I have a rope in my trunk."
Xia Chuhe slowly rolled up the car window, turned to Lu Dangui in the passenger seat and said, "I heard that the Dream Star tour is about to start. We have to hurry and get into the city before the West District strengthens security."
Xia Chuhe stepped on the gas, splashing a mouthful of sand onto the representative.
The representative, cursing and swearing, vowed to get rid of Xia Chuhe. He jumped back into the small black car and waited for passing vehicles. He sent a message to the city requesting a tow truck, but there would be no available truck until evening.
Unexpectedly, not long after he stood on the car, another car arrived.
The representative rushed to stop the car, and the driver rolled down the window, revealing Li Yue's smiling face.
The representative wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but he was also afraid of staying in the wild too long and being eaten by wild animals. He also hoped that Li Yue was more soft-hearted than Xia Chuhe and might agree to help him...
He pleaded with Li Yue to help him tow the car.
Li Yue laughed and said, "We ugly, old country bumpkins wouldn't dare touch your car. Just wait a little longer, maybe a pretty young lady will come to help you!"
After saying that, Li Yue rolled up the car window and stepped on the gas.
Ahead, Xia Chuhe had already stopped the car and picked up Li Qiusheng, who had come early to dig the hole.
"Well done!" Xia Chuhe couldn't help but laugh as he recalled the representative's furious expression.
Li Qiusheng laughed and said, "The eldest brother taught well!"
Following the route, Li Qiusheng arrived early and waited on the road. Once she spotted the representative's car in the distance, she dug a pit in the ground beforehand. It wouldn't be visible from the road surface, but once the car entered the pit, it would be too late!
Xia Chuhe said, "He estimates we'll have to wait a while on the road. Hopefully, we can get into Dream City smoothly."
Zhu Guanshan said, "It's not a big deal if we can't get in. We can just take another tunnel, which is even faster."
Xia Chuhe sighed softly. She naturally understood the importance of traveling quickly. But if she didn't experience more now, what would be the point of saving that little bit of time once the time loop ended and she died?
Bored on the journey, Zhu Guanshan inquired about what had happened in the Happy Five-Star instance.
Bao'er chattered on, summarizing: "There's a kind girl in the instance named Mao Xiaotian. She kindly escorted an old lady back to her room, but little did she know, the old lady was actually a bad guy in disguise, and a group of bad guys were waiting for her in the room. Luckily, Mao Xiaotian was clever and resourceful, not only escaping successfully but also leaving us clues. Our mission is to find the hiding Mao Xiaotian and eliminate the bad guy organization. Oh, and we also need to be careful not to be interfered with by the robots."
Zhu Guanshan commented: "Your adjective is incorrect. In my opinion, Mao Xiaotian is a complete idiot!"
"Don't talk about her like that!" Bao'er said angrily. Although she had never met Mao Xiaotian in person, she had seen him many times in her dreams. How could Mao Xiaotian, who could scare her so much that she couldn't sleep, be an idiot!
Zhu Guanshan said, "If she were smart, she wouldn't have taken the old lady home. Meddling in other people's business and getting tricked is not a wise move."
Li Qiusheng realized that Zhu Guanshan's point of view was problematic. In the past, she might have shared Zhu Guanshan's opinion. However, after spending a long time with Xia Chuhe and others, her thinking had gradually changed.
“You’re wrong.” Li Qiusheng sorted out his thoughts. “Helping others is kindness, not stupidity. If anyone is to blame, it’s the swindlers for being too wicked and cunning. Mao Xiaotian just hasn’t learned how to protect herself yet. If she had ever heard of similar scams and human trafficking tactics, she definitely wouldn’t have fallen for it.”
