Chapter 229 The Great Collection
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
Upon hearing this, Matsuda immediately called out to Morofushi Kagemitsu and Amuro Tooru behind him, but to avoid any mishaps, he called out their code names instead: "Bourbon, Scotland, hurry up, let's go to the bumper cars."
Upon hearing his greeting, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Bourbon knew that they had something to do, so they quickly walked over and said, "Coming."
Is there anything special about that place?
Matsuda smiled upon hearing this: "It's about discovering some good things that can be used to their fullest potential..."
With Matsuda and Hagiwara's explanation, the two walked towards the bumper car area with clear eyes. Once there, they helped each other remove obstacles that were preventing the bumper cars from being stored in their backpacks, while exchanging more information.
After all 30 multi-seater bumper cars in the bumper car area were collected by Feng Xing Shou in the instance dimension, Feng Xing Shou was about to go to other places to collect those odds and ends that seemed somewhat useful!
Hagiwara looked around, thinking about what had happened since he arrived at this instance, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the giant Ferris wheel. He said to the others, "Feng-chan! There's not much point in collecting anything else in this aquarium right now."
The people at the Ferris wheel have all been evacuated because of the explosion. Why don't we go over there and collect all the bombs? We can get chemical materials from those bombs after breaking them down. I have a feeling that these things will be very useful in the future.
Furthermore, the suspended tour carriages are collectable items that can be stacked. Judging from the materials used, disassembling them would yield a considerable amount of glass and metal. Since these items are within the instance area and will be completely destroyed in reality once the instance ends, collecting them won't go to waste.
"Huh?" Feng Xing Shou's mind went blank for a moment. She stared in shock at the huge double-wheeled Ferris wheel in front of her. Although it couldn't compare to the amusement park in Zhongzhou in 2025, it was already considered top-of-the-line in this day and age.
In her shock, she blurted out what was on her mind: "How many billions of yen would such a huge double-wheeled Ferris wheel cost to build! Can we really collect it?"
She wouldn't even dare to think about collecting this stuff. It felt like she was stealing a huge sum of money from Japan. -_-|| Especially when she was working with a group of Japanese police officers, she subconsciously told herself to be more restrained when collecting supplies.
Don't cross the line of the officers, but unexpectedly, the Japanese officer thought of something that he didn't dare to think of. At this moment, Feng Xingshou seriously doubted whether he was really an officer.
"What's the problem? Anyway, if we don't remove it, it will eventually be completely destroyed by the bomb in the real world when the time comes." When Hagiwara heard Fuu-chan's words, he almost immediately guessed why she said that, and couldn't help but smile and ask her in return.
Matsuda and the others guessed from Hagiwara's words what Kazesei-no-Mori had just said, and they were all quite surprised. It turned out that after they learned that the organization had planted a bomb on this giant Ferris wheel, they subconsciously thought that the destruction that had occurred here was a tragedy.
The organization's bomb completely destroyed the giant double-wheeled Ferris wheel, and the area within the instance was also affected by the bomb's explosive force. Therefore, no one paid any attention to Hagiwara's plan.
Matsuda even added reasonably: "Moreover, if those bumper cars and sightseeing vehicles want to be upgraded to trailers of the same level that can be used to upgrade vehicles, it should be done according to the upgrade standards of the previous sports car."
It's estimated that a large amount of materials such as metal, glass, plastic, and electronic components will be needed. If this giant two-wheeled Ferris wheel can be disassembled and collected before the dungeon ends, it should be enough to cover the upgrade costs of the sightseeing cars and bumper cars.
.
"Feng Sang, don't worry about us. In my opinion, it's a very good outcome that these things destined for destruction can help my friends." After guessing what Feng Xing Shou had probably said to Hagiwara.
Bourbon gradually realized that Hiro's analysis of Gin's sister's personality was probably correct. At the same time, he also understood that even if he knew that the steel frame and other heavy metals of the giant Ferris wheel could be recycled and reused after the explosion, it would still be a problem.
Hagiwara has become disconnected from Japanese society and has no concrete experience of it, but for him, who is not disconnected, or rather, along with Matsuda and Hiro, they all know too well the darkness of various aspects of the Japanese system.
During the cleanup after the explosion, due to the greed of various Japanese systems, these heavy metals were taken over by them. Even if these large quantities of metal could be reused, they would only be quietly resold by certain individuals, with the funds flowing into their pockets.
Then we have to ask the Japanese government and insurance companies for a large sum of money for waste disposal. Since that's the case, we might as well give it to Fengxingshou and his friends to reuse, so that our friends can have a better time in the survival game.
Furthermore, if their plan to eradicate the Symbiosis Cult fails, preventing their friends from returning to their own time before the end of the time travel, then the vehicles will be upgraded according to Hagiwara's description.
The ability to summon to reality, the impending disasters on Earth, and the ability for vehicles to provide shelter for friends in their future lives after rapid star upgrades—these are the reasons why Bourbon did not object and even actively agreed.
Morofushi Kagemitsu also did not object. In his view, the Japanese Public Security Bureau was a professional at illegal operations, and he did not have any concept of the sanctity of Japanese law.
On the contrary, as long as the interests of the Japanese people are not harmed, then it is not a crime. And the Ferris wheel itself was destined to be destroyed by the organization's bombs. Kazesei was just taking advantage of a loophole in the survival game.
Reusing something destined to disappear into history was not a bad thing for him, and there was no need to object: "Heh... perhaps we can look forward to the fact that when we get back, the vehicle will have been upgraded to have bedrooms for the rest of us."
“Alright, let’s focus on dismantling and collecting all the supplies on this giant Ferris wheel from now on.” Hearing Morofushi Kagemitsu’s words, Kazesei Mori realized that the few of them were still sleeping in the vehicle’s living room, and immediately made a decision.
Seeing that she had come to her senses, Hagiwara quickly relayed her words to the others: "Kaze-chan agreed, so next..."
Matsuda was calculating in his mind that if the interior space of the carriage doubled with each star level, it would be too high to upgrade to 5 stars, given that the vehicle is currently 6 meters tall. He wondered how the game developers planned to design this aspect, whether they would increase the number of layers inside the vehicle or have other functional arrangements.
.
Having decided on their itinerary, the group quickly left the bumper car area and headed to the Ferris wheel where people were evacuating, security personnel were setting up a cordon, and they were busy waiting for the explosives disposal team to arrive.
The first thing they collected was, of course, the extremely dangerous item—explosive bombs. Under Bourbon's leadership, their operation went quite smoothly, although Bourbon did help out.
They also didn't forget to use the police's mobile phone number to urgently notify the police that the aquarium's two-wheeled Ferris wheel was in a dangerous state and that no one should be sent to approach or investigate within an hour, in order to avoid innocent deaths and injuries.
As for Kazesei-no-Mori! When Hagiwara suggested using this giant Ferris wheel as a target for collecting supplies, she was the only one who objected. But once the collection began, she was undoubtedly the most proactive.
Moreover, this giant Ferris wheel looks enormous, and ordinary people would have no way to reach it without the help of large machinery. However, for Feng Xingshou, who has backpack space, dismantling it is a piece of cake.
No matter how tightly the screws are tightened, as long as they are not materially fused and linked, the target object can be completely collected by using the spatial separation function and covering the area without material linking with mental power.
For example, the multi-person sightseeing carriages hanging around the Ferris wheel were completely absorbed by Feng Xingshou through his mental power, and he simply put them into his backpack space.
During this process, since even the air was excluded from the range of her mental energy, and all the tour carriages were of the same volume and could be stacked, her backpack did not take up much space, allowing her to collect everything.
For example, the steel frame of a double-wheeled Ferris wheel. No matter how good people's welding skills are, it is not possible to melt and cast a huge object of the same volume in a steel furnace. Feng Xingshou's spiritual power can completely penetrate into the welding area.
After using her mental power to separate the space, she directly stored the objects on both sides of the welding area into her backpack space. The steel frames of each area on this giant Ferris wheel are of a uniform standard size, making it easy to collect them even when stacked together after storing them in different lengths.
Even those seemingly enormous wheels are actually assembled and structured from countless sections through welding and steel connections. Once covered with mental energy, they can be easily collected into her backpack space...
Even with all these conveniences, the Ferris wheel was still a behemoth. By the time Feng Xingshou had completely dismantled it in the dungeon dimension, her backpack, which had been upgraded to a sufficient size, was once again filled to capacity.
Meanwhile, they only had 4 minutes left before leaving the instance space. Feng Xing Shou looked around and realized that with her backpack full, she didn't have the time or space to collect the items from the food stalls around her.
He could only whisper somewhat apologetically in Hagiwara's ear, "Hagiwara, please tell your friend that I have completely dismantled this Ferris wheel. Tell him not to let anyone go up before it collapses, otherwise, when the time comes, there will be a high-altitude crash."
It's a pity I can't stay in reality and see with my own eyes the scene of this giant double-wheeled Ferris wheel collapsing after I dismantled it so thoroughly, and whether it will be an explosion just like in real life?
Or, as Bourbon mentioned before, did the cargo hold at the rear of the vehicle vanish into thin air after they left yesterday, leaving only some remaining fragments? The Wind Star Guardian, who also believed that the destruction of this instance was caused by an explosion, silently speculated.
