Chapter 102 The Race of the Car Gods
Meng Qingyin checked and found that apart from not wearing a helmet, the old man did not have any other unsafe driving behavior.
"Wang Aiguo, you did not wear a helmet as required. The following penalty is hereby imposed on you..."
As soon as Meng Qingyin finished speaking, the supplies in Wang Aiguo's backpack popped out automatically.
Meng Qingyin didn't look closely. "Five plastic items. Any objections to this punishment?"
"Objection!" Wang Aiguo raised his hand. "Only five plastic bags as a fine? Isn't that a bit too lenient?"
Meng Qingyin looked confused.
This is the first person to complain that the punishment is too lenient.
"I won't accept it," Meng Qingyin said calmly, then clicked on "enforce the law."
Unexpectedly, her enforcement duties for the day had been completed, and she was transported back to her train.
Meng Qingyin thought about it carefully. Could it be that Chen Leying was also included in the calculation?
Just then, Chen Leying sent me a message.
Chen Leying: "I've arrived. Send me the location of the smelter, and I'll go find him."
Meng Qingyin forwarded the location Shi Ye sent her to Chen Leying: "[Location], to correct you, Shi Ye is a woman."
Chen Leying: "Understood."
Meng Qingyin traded all the ore to her at once, and then sent a message saying, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll compensate you for the items you used by converting them into copper coins."
Chen Leying: "Forget it, it's too much trouble."
Mengmeng: "I'm so sorry, how about I order you some pea shoots?"
Chen Leying: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin went and cut some pea shoots and sent them to Chen Leying.
Looking at the lush green peas, Meng Qingyin smiled.
Pea Diplomacy is officially established today.
However, Meng Qingyin sent a message to Shi Ye: "Sister Shi, I can't go there. My friend Chen Leying will deliver the ore in my place. Thank you for your help."
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "Huh? Why did you suddenly change people? I gave you a friendly price, only because of Brother Li. If word gets out, I won't be able to do business anymore."
Mengmeng: "Sister Shi, don't worry, my friend and I are not gossipy people, we won't reveal your special price to anyone. We'll only say that you set the price for us."
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "You're Brother Li's niece, of course I trust you. But is your friend's mouth shut?"
Mengmeng: "Strictly secure, absolutely strictly secure!"
Chen Leying didn't even mention that she was a highway enforcement officer, which shows that she's not the kind of person who gossips.
She believed that Chen Leying wouldn't reveal the details of the shady business dealings.
Metallurgist Ishino: "Alright."
Mengmeng: "Thank you, Sister Shi!"
Meng Qingyin then contacted Chen Leying: "Um, Sister Shi gave us a friendly price, so please don't tell anyone."
Chen Leying: "I know, I'm not stupid."
Mengmeng: "Of course I know you're the smartest, I was just being nosy and reminding you. Okay, you go ahead and do your thing~ I'll go tell Xiaojiu so she won't worry about it."
Chen Leying: "Mm."
Meng Qingyin opened the chat window with Qin Jiu again: "We found Shijia Village. Chen Leying has already gone there. I just wanted to let you know."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Okay, then I'm relieved. I'll finish this dart soon, and I'll get 50 copper coins. Sweet!"
Since the escort mission ended, Meng Qingyin hasn't taken on any escort missions yet, which makes her a little curious.
Mengmeng: "How much is the reward for escorting goods?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "The distance, the type of goods being transported, and the identity of the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) all affect the reward, and there is no uniform standard. In summary, the farther the distance, the stronger the镖师, and the more fresh the goods, the higher the reward will be when settling accounts."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "By the way, what level of bodyguard are you, boss? Last time I asked you, you were vague and didn't give a clear answer."
Meng Qingyin remembered that Xiao Jiu had indeed asked her about it last time.
At the time, she was "possessed by a demon" and kept talking nonsense, so naturally I didn't tell her.
Mengmeng: "Ahem, you'll be shocked if I tell you my identity."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "...He must be a high-ranking bodyguard."
Mengmeng: "You already guessed it, why are you asking me!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "You're the big shot in our district. If you're not a senior bodyguard, then I don't know who is. Not just you, Chen Leying is a senior bodyguard too, right?"
Mengmeng: "..."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Hmph, you two are not being honest! But there are only 5 people in our district, and I actually know two of them! I'm so proud of myself!"
Mengmeng: "I'm not chatting anymore, I need to get down to business."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Oh, okay!"
Meng Qingyin glanced at the map, marked a supply box, and the train sped off.
A short while later, Li Zhou sent a message.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Boss Meng, you'll never guess who I ran into."
Meng Qingyin feigned cooperation: "...Who?"
"She's a highway patrol officer! She looks exactly like you! But I know you're definitely not the same person," said the man with the preserved egg and lean pork congee, his voice trembling with excitement.
Mengmeng: "What? The highway patrol officer looks a lot like me? You're not kidding, are you?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Absolutely not! I was stunned when I saw her too. I even suspected she was you, but it wasn't. It's so strange, why does a highway patrol officer look so much like you?"
Mengmeng: "Who knows? Maybe it's because I have a common face?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "What do you mean by a generic face? I've lived all these years and I've never seen anyone better looking than you! I know, maybe 007 was lazy and just stole your face when creating the NPC."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
007, you'll have to take the blame for now.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "This is copyright infringement! You should contact 007 for compensation!"
Mengmeng: "...Uh, it's okay, I don't mind, really."
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Boss, you're just too easy to talk to."
Meng Qingyin is not easy to talk to, and she doesn't dare to speak now.
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Alright, but since you don't mind, I won't say anything more."
Mengmeng: "Mmm."
When Li Zhou stopped sending messages, Meng Qingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The train happened to stop near the supply crates, so she got off, retrieved the crates, and continued on her way.
At 10:00 AM, all players received an announcement from 007.
[Hello everyone, it's been a while! At 9:50 AM this morning, all players in server 30, totaling 71,029, entered the Vitality Grassland map. The game is about to enter the next phase.]
Before we officially move on to the next stage, I've prepared one last little activity for everyone, called the "Car God Showdown."
This event offers generous rewards and is crucial for survival in the next stage, so please don't miss this opportunity and register enthusiastically!
This "Car King Showdown" will be divided into two groups, A and B. Once the event begins, the vehicle speed will be uncontrollable, and participants will race to the finish line at top speed – a true testament to speed and excitement!
Group A is the "Fast Group," and Group B is the "Slow Group," each producing a top driver. If you are confident in your vehicle, choose Group A; if you feel your vehicle has significant room for improvement, I recommend Group B.
