When Wei Huan opened his eyes, it was already daylight.
The alarm clock I set was blaring loudly in my ear, the hour hand pointing to exactly 6 o'clock.
Mu Zhong was also woken up by the alarm clock. He was sitting up, throwing off the covers, when he asked, "How was last night?"
Wei Huan peeked out of the car and confirmed, "It's very quiet."
Outside the vehicle were only skeletons, loyally and tirelessly patrolling; no animal carcasses were visible on the ground.
They seem to be a relatively lucky group; no monsters attacked them on the first night after the newbie protection period ended.
However, Wei Huan thought about it and realized that before the team was finished yesterday, his summoned creatures had opened some chests and killed some treasure chest monsters.
Could this be why no monsters attacked them?
It's a bit of a pity.
I didn't get any fresh meat yesterday, so I'll have to buy vegetables from the auction house today.
Next, Mu Zhong went to make breakfast, while Wei Huan washed up and woke up.
Knowing that Wei Huan hadn't slept the night before, Mu Zhong hoped that Wei Huan would get some light sleep.
Wei Huan shook his head: "It's probably because my Netherworld Power is relatively high that I have relatively abundant energy."
"How many?"
Wei Huan then remembered that they hadn't discussed this, and said, "149."
"Hiss!?" Mu Zhong gasped.
If I remember correctly, his spiritual power was only 13 points.
"A monster." Mu Zhong concluded, "Perhaps even a fifth-tier transcendent being doesn't have as much spiritual power as you."
Mu Zhong did not ask Wei Huan how he planned to deal with the "unexpected event".
After a quick breakfast, the two sat in the driver and passenger seats and started the car.
The car speed is relatively slow. After the newbie protection period, monsters will start to spawn on the highway.
Not long after, a huge, jet-black creature appeared in the middle of the road and was charging towards them.
It's a yak from the Tibetan Plateau!
As you get closer, you can see its enormous size, which is in no way inferior to that of a minivan.
Its jet-black fur almost touched the ground, and even when it was on all fours, its shoulders and back reached a height of two meters. Below a pair of sharp bull horns were a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The thick bull horns pointed directly at the vehicle, creating a powerful sense of intimidation.
Without the protection of the novice period, a yak like this can easily overturn a vehicle.
But in the eyes of Wei Huan and Mu Zhong...
"Beef!" Mu Zhong patted the armrest box happily. "Luckily, we haven't bought any meat yet, which saves us some ingredients."
"..."
As they spoke, space distorted, and white skeletons emerged from another dimension.
Six bear skeletons, along with six wolf skeletons, surrounded the yak.
soon.
"Moo!"
The yak let out a pitiful cry and collapsed to the ground, whimpering.
[Obtain 5 pieces of yak meat]
Wei Huan reminded Mu Zhong: "Yak meat has a strong, gamey taste, so you can make the flavor a bit stronger."
"good."
The yak carcass was still on the ground, but Wei Huan did not get out of the car to deal with it.
Food and items not processed through the system
There is dark energy.
Even if these monsters blocking the way are species from Earth, they still cannot be eaten directly.
Only prayers and monks can purify these dark energies and sell them at auction houses; otherwise, they will be listed as "contaminated yak meat."
Shortly after they drove away from the body, the yak carcass disappeared, and not a trace of blood could be seen on the smooth road.
It's as if it never existed.
Shortly after it was launched, the long-awaited system announcement appeared.
[Unexpected event!]
[The mighty bear has broken down the dimensional barrier and entered the highway, about to embark on a 12-hour chase of the challenger! Keep your fuel and energy levels high to survive!]
[Countdown: 30 seconds, 29 seconds, 28 seconds...]
The chat room was deathly silent; everyone was waiting for their fateful moment.
Wei Huan noticed that the number of people in the chat room had increased to 921br1000.
It seems that some people couldn't even get through last night.
Even ordinary monsters can be deadly threats to most unlucky challengers.
"10 seconds."
"9 seconds."
"8 seconds."
In the suffocating chat room, someone cursed.
[Damn it, I'll give it my all!]
Some people say that...
Everyone needs to survive, and stay healthy.
Some people were praying.
[May Buddha, Bodhisattva, the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and I, the Monkey King, protect me! One is enough! One is enough! As long as I can get out of here alive, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to repay my vow.]
"3 seconds!"
"2 seconds!"
"One second!"
There were no more new messages in the chat room.
Time seemed to have been paused.
Even though Wei Huan had made ample preparations, he couldn't help but purse his lips, his gaze sweeping across every corner in front of him as he quietly awaited the monster's arrival.
finally.
"Splash! Splash!"
From the window on the left, came the sound of a tree branch snapping.
As if to increase the pressure, the sound came closer and closer, like a hammer blow to the heart.
If it were someone else, they would be running away by now.
It's likely that the creature that emerged from the forest is the main character of this "battle royale"—the monstrous bear.
A bear's speed will not exceed 150 kilometers per hour. Every second you run earlier increases your chances of survival.
But Wei Huan released the brakes, causing the car to slide forward another ten meters or so, as if he were waiting.
He tilted his head and looked over.
Finally, deep within the dark forest, a magnificent and powerful bear emerged.
It saw the dilapidated white car, parted its lips to reveal sharp teeth, and was about to roar.
Immediately afterwards, a group of white bones scattered out from behind the car, numbering more than 20!
Ten of the bear skeletons had already stood upright, revealing six claws, their eyes burning fiercely with green flames!
"Aww...woo?"
The bear's roar died in its throat, its eyes fixed, and then it began to shrink back.
Holy crap, this is beginner level!
Highway? Am I sure I haven't been teleported to the wrong place?
It came to kill the intruders and have a good meal, not to die.

The bear had already begun to retreat.
It wanted to run away.
But Wei Huan disagreed.
Switching between offense and defense.
Is battle royale just about escaping?
No!
He's going to fight back!
Every indigenous person is a valuable point; there's no reason to miss out on them once you've seen them.
"Awooooo!"
"Roar roar roar!"
The summoned creature emitted a whistling, leaky cry, and surged forward like a giant white wave.
"Mmm~"
There was also a cry that sounded like a sigh, not loud, but not to be ignored, carrying a subtle spiritual power, which landed directly in the bear's head.
The bear, which had already turned and fled, was terrified out of its wits!
It was crystal clear what kind of creature the sound came from.
Aaaaaah! A cave beast!?
How could this be?! How could this happen?! Is this really a beginner's road?! Why are there even cave monsters here?!
"Mmm~"
Another ethereal cry rang out, and the bear's paws clenched, as if it wished it could sprout eight more legs.
However, it was no use; the rustling sound approached rapidly from behind.
It looked down and, sure enough, there were those infamous little bastards of the cave beasts.
A facehugger, about a meter long, with wisps of rotting flesh still clinging to its pale bones, suddenly leaped up and landed on the bear's face.
The bear opened its mouth to bite, then violently shook its head, just managing to shake off the facehugger, when another facehugger pounced on it.
One after another.
It struggled to break free, but gradually became buried in the ever-covering white bones, its eyes filled with despair.
Why?
Wasn't it chosen to create fear?
It should be the most terrifying presence on this highway, a nightmare for any challenger to Earth.
Why?
[Obtained 2 Bear Teeth]
[1 point earned]
Wei Huan commanded the summoned creatures to return, and they gathered in front of the car, filling the road with 22 summoned creatures.
He was quite pleased with the skeleton of the cave beast mother that he had spent an entire night summoning.
Just as he expected, with the facehugger under control, his summoning squad encountered the Berserker again without suffering any losses.
This unexpected event is about to become his hunting ground.
"Mmm~"
When the cave beast emerged from behind the vehicle and cast a shadow, Mu Zhong looked up, utterly speechless.
"Are you about to become a god?" Nan nan...

Chat room participants [899br1000]
Chat room participants [843br1000]
Chat room participants [798br1000]
...
Within ten minutes of the battle royale starting, the number of people in the chat room plummeted by nearly 150.
In the chat room, no one spoke for a long time.
Faced with the "ceiling-level monster" that is the first level of challenge, everyone has no choice but to run away.
Moreover, on a track
It wasn't just one bear.
"Battle Royale" is a challenge of chasing and fleeing. Even if you shake off one pursuing bear, there will be another bear waiting on the road ahead.
At this point, the driver needs sufficient psychological qualities and driving skills, and also needs to consider the developmental results of the previous three days.
Whether it's the car body shell or blueprints to increase speed, obtaining either one and upgrading the vehicle will greatly improve your chances of survival.
However, the number of people in the chat room is still decreasing rapidly.
Half an hour later, the number of people dropped to 776br1000.
An hour later, the number of people dropped to 745,100.
Finally, the most tense hour passed, and those who survived had acquired some skills and adapted to the rhythm of the battle royale.
People started talking in the chat room.
[A moment of silence for those who have passed away.]
[Liu Mo! Liu Mo! Are you still alive? Answer me if you're alive!]
[My childhood friend is dead! Dead!! This damn challenge! This grass tower!!]
[I thought it would be difficult, but it's not that hard. As long as you make good use of the first three days to develop, you can manage.]
[This bear was easily shaken off, everyone don't be afraid, keep going!]
[Agreed. The school has repeatedly emphasized the importance of making good use of the first three days of development. Are there still people who are complacent and think that challenging the world makes them philanthropists?]
[Holy crap! Three monstrous bears were blocking my way! I narrowly avoided them all, the hood flipped up halfway, but I immediately upgraded to a level 1 shell and it was fixed in seconds. Being shrewd and having a plan is also very important.]
[Requesting Level 1 shell blueprints!]
[Looking for engine, tire, and shock absorber blueprints at a high price!]
[Nothing to brag about, what's there to show off? Why don't you guys check out the leaderboard and see the amazing plays by the pros!]
[Holy crap, 106 points?!]
[106 points! That's awesome!]
[What does this mean? What happened?]
[101 points is the first kill record-breaking reward, the extra 5 points... what do you mean? This pro player in battle royale, he actually killed a bear! I'm totally blown away! That bear was chasing me so hard I could barely breathe, but this pro player has already turned the tables!]
[Are the bosses in Battle Royale games actually killable?]
[Hehe, the big boss can be killed, but you can't!]
