Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 Appointment of Deputy Train Commander

Suddenly, I was standing on my feet, having been inside the car.

From the forest to the city, on the bustling university playground.

The bustling atmosphere and abundant crowds create a strong sense of unreality.

Wei Huan squinted at the colorful world and was about to take a step forward.

Suddenly remembering something, he raised his hand and a pair of glasses landed in his hand.

It is indeed a special item.

It has no attributes, but a few can be taken out to challenge the world and are usable in reality.

Wei Huan stared at the glasses for a moment, then put them on his nose.

He pushed up his glasses, and tiny spots of light flickered one by one, finally appearing on his severely disfigured face as a film of light, imperceptible to the naked eye, reconstructing his face.

And so, everything returned to normal.

A middle-aged school worker was carrying a box and walking towards us.

He saw Wei Huan, but he never expected that at this time, the students appearing on the playground would be the main characters they were supposed to welcome.

After all, it was a full day earlier.

The school janitor assumed Wei Huan was a student who had come to help and nodded to him.

Wei Huan returned the greeting, his gaze falling on a familiar teacher in the distance. Before the teacher could look over, he took out his phone, put it to his ear, and turned away.

The call was answered in less than a second after it was dialed.

Mu Zhong's voice came from the other end: "Wei Huan!!"

"Okay." Wei Huan smiled slightly and said, "Send me your address, I'll come find you."

Mu Zhong's voice was noticeably soothing, with a hint of amusement in it: "No need for that. A lot of people will be looking for you soon. By the time we come out, the list will probably be out, and the school will definitely want to keep you. You go ahead and do your own thing. I'll come find you."

Wei Huan said, "Lie down and don't move."

"Seriously, I'm coming to find you, but don't come over..."

"I've already set off," Wei Huan interrupted him, his tone resolute.

Mu Zhong was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Alright, you can come over. The prizes are awarded the day after tomorrow, the platinum treasure chest, I'll be thinking about it even if it's not opened for a day. It's just the right time to come out, you can catch the noon flight, do you want me to book your ticket?"

Wei Huan listened to the incessant talking on the other end of the phone and laughed.

From strangers to acquaintances, time flew by. Perhaps because I was too quiet, Mu Zhong became a chatterbox.

I don't dislike him; it's quite good. Seeing him speak with such a strong voice makes me feel at ease.

Wei Huan showed no intention of hanging up, so Mu Zhong continued chatting all the way to the airport.

No sooner had I hung up than Wei Jinhong called.

Wei Huan frowned as he answered the call after seeing the incoming call.

"Are you stupid?! Did you waste your time going to university?! Where's your brain?!" The moment the call connected, Wei Jinhong launched into a tirade of abuse. "We finally managed to get our hands on the Mu family's resources, and you just let it go to waste like this? You…"

Wei Huan hung up the phone with a cold face.

Human greed knows no bounds; even the "Gold Challenge" on the speed leaderboard is a treasure chest in itself.

Wei Jinhong has never opened a single golden treasure chest, yet people want him to open several.

Besides, if the Mu family really were...

If Mu Zhong were to join his chariot, he would not.

When Wei Jinhong called again, Wei Huan did not answer.

This author, Jingzhou Xiaoyao, reminds you that the latest chapters of "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" are updated first on [website name]. Remember to visit [website name] to read the latest and complete chapters.

I only saw the long text message from Wei Jinhong when I was boarding the plane and adjusting the flight mode.

[Wei Huan, don't make me angry! Answer the phone!]

[You think you're all grown up now?]

[Alright, I won't talk about that. Just give me a report of what you got from the gold chests. Don't just do whatever you want; some things require connections to sell and get a higher value, understand?]

[Fine, I'm coming to the school to find you now. Just you wait.]

Wei Huan felt extremely disgusted by it.

Wei Jinhong's new wife is difficult to please; in order to curry favor with her, she practically treats her son as nothing.

Wei Huan could have applied to Beijing University, which is closer to him, but in the end he filled in the application for the farthest university, A University, just to stay far away from that family.

Wei Jinhong was quite something; he didn't go home for three years, and Wei Jinhong never contacted him. He only managed to earn enough for his tuition and living expenses through part-time jobs.

Later, the Mu family came looking for him. When they learned that he had been useful, Wei Jinhong bought him the latest model of mobile phone, came to the school to find him, and persuaded him to marry a man.

Wei Huan had been reborn and knew what kind of person he was. Coupled with some unbearable experiences from his previous life, it further extinguished any remaining affection he might have for him.

Wei Huan presented a "severance of kinship" as a condition, and Wei Jinhong, in order to get on the good side of the Mu family, or rather, to get on the Hong family's bandwagon, actually signed it.

Wei Jinhong was unaware that the "severance of kinship letter" was not so simple.

Wei Huan not only went to the judicial authorities to do notarization, but also entered information into the "Challenger APP"—it's true, and there's no going back on it.

Wei Jinhong is no longer qualified to "defect" to events like Mu Zhong's.

The plane landed in Beijing at 4 p.m.

At this moment, news of Wei Huan's completion of the challenge had spread throughout the country.

Some people are happy to celebrate this achievement, while others are indifferent, but the fastest will definitely be rewarded with a "champion challenge" treasure chest, which is very valuable.

For example, his third aunt, who was helping to look after his old house, said to her husband, "Is this Wei Huan, or is he Xiao Huan?"

Auntie San picked up her phone: "We really have to go in for the challenge this year. Just make a call and you'll know. People are in the challenge world, so you can't get through."

As soon as the call connected, both Auntie and Uncle's eyes lit up.

Even though Wei Huan didn't answer the phone in the end, the two couldn't help but discuss, "If it really is Wei Huan, how much do you think his golden treasure chest could sell for?"

"Blue equipment ranges from five thousand to one hundred thousand, with the farmer's set being more expensive. The worst silver equipment costs 300,000, and I've heard the most expensive ones cost tens of millions. As for this gold treasure chest... I estimate it's close to one hundred million, but the key is that it's priceless and there's no market for it."

"Fine, fine. Wei Jinhong is a real scoundrel. He hasn't visited my sister's grave even once since she died, and he's never come back to this old house. We asked him to transfer the house to Wei Huan, but he hasn't responded. He's already married a billionaire heiress, and he's still eyeing the money from this little house."

"No, I don't think it's about the money. Wei Jinhong is just too cunning. He's worried that the young lady will be hard to please, and he'll end up losing both his money and his wife..."

Wei Huan didn't want Wei Jinhong to bother him anymore, so he put his phone in airplane mode and never put it back.

.

Besides the calls from relatives and friends that he didn't answer, some "headhunters" and "middlemen" who somehow got his number also called.

Of course, there was also a phone call from an official source, from Commander Dong's secretary.

Wei Huan did not answer any of these calls.

When Wei Huan walked out of the airport, he was wearing the same clothes, but his appearance had changed.

The "silver goggles" are very effective at camouflage; they are undetectable by security systems and can even alter one's appearance.

Most interestingly, the Earth has also been "digitized".

Her gaze swept over the middle-aged man walking towards her.

Name:***

age:***

Gender: Male

Occupation: Farmer (Sequence 1)

Endurance: 180

Strength: 8

Agility: 5

Dark power: 5

Special status: None

This data represents the average person.

Level 1 sequence, all attributes are below 10, only participated in the challenge once, and never went again.

Judging from their appearance, they should be among the first to enter the Challenge World.

He shifted his gaze to the girl pushing her luggage and quickly passing him.

Name:***

age:***

Gender: Female

Occupation: Fraudster (Sequence 2)

Endurance: 360

Strength: 37

Agility: 66

Dark power: 12

Special status: None

Wei Huan glanced at it a few more times.

After getting off the plane, this was the first challenger he saw, and a con artist at that.

The Trickster comes from the [Gambler Sequence], follows a high-agility critical strike build, and also possesses stealth abilities; some people like to call them "Thieves".

The thief girl looked very young, probably a college student from the previous year, or maybe even a challenger from the Beijing Pro League.

After awakening her sequence, her body improved, and the exposed half of her leg was smooth and lustrous, as if she could kick a bull to death with one kick.

She was very perceptive and noticed Wei Huan's gaze immediately.

His gaze pierced straight at them, but finally settled on the gold-rimmed glasses on Wei Huan's nose.

The vehicles and equipment from the road challenge cannot be brought into Earth, but the attribute bonuses from the equipment, as well as special equipment, can be brought in.

Blue Star forbids any challengers from using supernatural powers in public areas.

Of course, challengers will not be allowed to use their professional abilities to attack each other or ordinary people.

Maintaining the rules is difficult; in fact, they are riddled with problems. But at least with the efforts of all parties, a semblance of calm has been maintained.

Wei Huan's glasses are a challenge set, so they are indeed a bit special, but at first glance, they look just like ordinary glasses.

The thief girl glanced at Wei Huan's glasses a couple more times, then left suspiciously.

Wei Huan got into a taxi, gave the name of the hospital, and then looked back at the bustling crowd at the airport gate.

Almost all of them were ordinary people in Sequence 1.

Challenges may be a shortcut, but they come at the cost of one's life.

Faced with this road, the vast majority

People all retreated.

The taxi drove for almost an hour in Beijing before Wei Huan stepped out, bathed in the orange glow of the setting sun.

The hospital where Mu Zhong is recuperating is a private hospital with an excellent environment.

Following the address given by Mu Zhong, Wei Huan arrived at the ward door.

Then a little girl's voice came from the ward, calling out in a clear, crisp voice: "Daddy, don't cry! Brother, don't cry! Mommy, don't cry! Xixi won't cry either! Xixi is the best! Xixi is the best!!"

Mu Zhong took out his phone again and checked the room number once more.

The little girl's voice kept ringing out: "When Xixi grows up, she will protect her brother! Xixi wants to be the strongest challenger!"

506 is this ward.

I saw a little girl from kindergarten, half of her body hanging off the hospital bed, her little feet dangling precariously.

Mu Zhong lay on the hospital bed, his missing half-body lying right where the little girl had thrown herself.

As soon as Wei Huan appeared at the door, Mu Zhong saw him.

She immediately straightened up, her eyes shining, which dispelled all of Wei Huan's anxiety from the journey.

I've been trying to call you but haven't been able to get through.

As soon as Mu Zhong spoke, the little girl turned her head, and a miniature version of Mu Zhong appeared before her eyes. The two siblings looked so alike.

Wei Huan glanced at the little girl a couple more times and sensed that she seemed a bit nervous, so he didn't go any closer to the bedside.

He walked around the hospital bed to the window, peered down, and said, "It's alright now, but we'll be entangled in this for a few days. We need to prepare."

"Hmm?" Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan with a puzzled expression.

Wei Huan reminded him: "Grades."

"Oh, right." Mu Zhong realized, his expression turning serious.

The rules of the beginner challenge are that, in theory, a champion will emerge on the tenth day, after which challengers will gradually reach the finish line.

The challenge to the world will be given a one-day buffer period, with the final time being 6 PM on the second day.

As darkness falls, the highway will also be closed, plunging into eternal darkness.

All challengers who slack off and haven't even reached 80% of the race schedule will be forever lost in it.

After that, the challenge world will collect statistics and issue rewards.

Wei Huan is aiming for the top spot on the overall leaderboard and is confident he can take it.

He knew very well how valuable a platinum treasure chest was.

Even if we disregard the fact that Wei Jinhong would definitely be eyeing this treasure chest like a hungry wolf, the Challenge Legion cannot ignore its value.

Wei Huan was not a selfish person. Having witnessed the extinction of humanity, he knew all too well the importance of mutual help and support.

However, he also needed these supplies, and the platinum box was something Mu Zhong had fought over. He would never hand it over to a third person until he had figured out what to do with it.

Moreover, he was well aware of the magnitude of the crisis that a mismatch between strength and financial resources could bring.

There are always some people who like to covet other people's livelihoods, resorting to any means necessary and being extremely ruthless.

Wei Huan took out his phone, found [My] in the Challenger APP, and opened the [Tank] section.

Upon opening, a 3D model of a white minivan appears before your eyes.

It was their RV.

The car looks shabby, but the data underneath is quite surprising.

The human body, almost 80% of its components, has been upgraded to level 3.

This is a number that even challengers who have attempted the challenge seven or eight times would likely find difficult to achieve.

Click below the vehicle, and you'll also see a [Job] section.

After clicking, it displays:

Motorhome (Level 2)

Passenger limit: 2

Train Commander: Wei Huan

Deputy conductor: None

Train attendant: None

Wei Huan clicked on the deputy commander's section, which contained three options: [Appointment], [Resignation], and [Powers].

He pressed the [Appoint] button, took a picture of Mu Zhong's face, and clicked [Upload].

The next second, Mu Zhong's phone lit up.

I received a message from the Challenger app.

Mu Zhong read aloud as he looked at the document: "Is it true that Captain Wei Huan has appointed you as the deputy captain? Of course not!"

As he was joking, Wei Huan received a system notification.

[Deputy Train Commander Mu Zhong appointed successfully]

Mu Zhong became the deputy train commander and seemed very happy. He pulled his younger sister over, stroked her fur, and said, "Call me brother."

The little girl was quite introverted; she glanced at Wei Huan but remained silent.

Mu Zhong and Wei Huan's marriage was very hasty.

Wei Huan flew back from Island A and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Mu Zhong was pushed in in a wheelchair, looking like he was about to die.

The two did not speak a word the entire time, and even eye contact was minimal.

The wedding was like a funeral; the younger sister, Muxi, didn't even show up, and this was the first time they had ever met.

Wei Huan stared at the little girl for five seconds before looking away before she cried.

Mu Zhong chuckled beside him, then picked up the little girl, held her in his arms and comforted her for a while before asking Wei Huan, "So, what do you think we should do next?"

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Wei Huan's embarrassment lessened.

"I'll find a place to get into the car. I plan to book the challenge now and we'll talk about it when I come out."

Mu Zhong understood as soon as Wei Huan explained.

"To improve our strength and prove our worth?" He was also a little worried. "The pre-registered challenge will put us on the Lord's Battlefield, where the situation is very unfavorable for us."

"Don't worry, we can do it."

Mu Zhong was pleased that he used the word "we".

He nodded in agreement: "Okay, tell my mom we'll be discharged now."

As if in response to that remark, a woman carrying a handkerchief walked in through the door.

This woman had a dignified and beautiful appearance, a tall and slender figure, and especially a pair of bright black eyes that seemed to be able to see into one's soul and penetrate one's heart.

The person who came was naturally Mu Zhong's mother, Zhou Xian.

A glint flashed in Wei Huan's eyes behind his own.

Name:***

age:***

Gender: Female

Occupation: Celestial Watcher (Sequence 3)

Endurance: 480

Strength: 53

Agility: 30

Spiritual power: 241

Special Status: Job Sealed

241 spiritual power, Sequence 3 [Sky Watcher]!

The [Sequence of Diviners] clearly points to the future, directly indicating the prophets.

[The Diviner] → [

Astrologer → Celestial Watcher → Prophet → Seer

Mu Zhong once said that his mother couldn't bear to see his life end like this, so she paid a price by divining a way out for him, which led to this absurd marriage.

Presumably, this "professional seal" is the so-called "price".

"Auntie," Wei Huan greeted.

Zhou Xian nodded and smiled, without reminding Wei Huan to change his form of address.

Her gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Mu Zhong's face, and she said, "I have a small house here that you can use before the wedding. You can go there first, then log into the car. Two days is enough time for you to absorb all the resources. It's a great idea to book this challenge."

Then, her gaze fell on Wei Huan's face, and she actually bowed to him. After standing up, she said solemnly, "Mu Zhong's path is under your feet, and I will have to trouble you to take care of him from now on."

Wei Huan straightened up and nodded.

Without further ado, Wei Huan placed Mu Zhong in a wheelchair, and Zhou Xian escorted them all the way out of the hospital gate, watching them get into the car and drive away.

Mu Xi was held in Zhou Xian's arms and asked, "Does brother have to go to school?"

Zhou Xian blinked her moist eyes and hummed in agreement.

Just then, Zhou Xian's phone rang. She picked it up and saw the name "Mu Dehao" on the screen.

Zhou Xian frowned, suppressing the worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Yes, he's gone. Wei Huan has taken him away. I told them to go stay at the old house first. He should be back in the car, right?"

Don't worry, Wei Huan is a good boy and will take good care of Mu Zhong. My prediction will not be wrong. Only by Wei Huan's side can he survive. They will help each other succeed.

Don't worry, children will eventually grow up and leave their parents, even if it's far away... it's okay. If you really want to spoil them, you'll always find a way, won't you?"

Zhou Xian's pre-marital house, located on the Third Ring Road in Beijing, is an old, low-rise building, yet its value is astonishing.

The apartment is on the ninth floor, 150 square meters in size. Although the furniture is a bit outdated, it must have cost a lot of money to buy back then.

After entering the house, the two did a quick clean of the living room and master bedroom, without stepping into any of the other rooms.

At 8:30, Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan, "Are you hungry?"

Wei Huan nodded.

When Mu Zhong spoke again, he was a little excited: "Let's go, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back."

The two took out their phones and opened the Challenger app.

Make eye contact with each other, and simultaneously press the spherical icon at the bottom center of the page.

[Returning Home]

The familiar teleportation sensation returned, and when Wei Huan came to his senses, he found himself back in the car, sitting in the driver's seat.

He was still wearing the strange outfit he had worn before he left, the one he had chosen to boost his stats.

Mu Zhong was in the passenger seat, his emerald earring on his left ear dazzling and swaying with every movement.

As soon as he returned, he picked up the crystal ball-like microscopic world and peered at it.

"Thank goodness, if we had come back any later, the chicks would have eaten all the vegetables."

Wei Huan observed outside the car.

After they left the Challenge World, the car entered a gray, gloomy space.

It floats in nothingness, neither touching the sky nor the ground.

This area is known as the "rest and recuperation zone" by the humans of Earth.

The car will remain floating here until it enters the challenge world again, at which point it will start moving again.

There is no water, no air, no treasure chests here. Humans cannot leave the vehicle to enter the gray fog, and nothing from the outside can be brought in.

If you can't feed yourself inside the car, returning here is like returning to a dead zone.

certainly.

The ultimate level of the vehicle is the "Interstellar Fortress," a massive structure capable of sustaining the entire planet's population.

Being able to live in a car is just the basics; there are many other ingenious uses as well.

The vehicles that became dead zones were because they were of too low a class, and their owners had already given up on their status as "challengers".

In this space.

The car is absolutely safe.

This car and the space it occupies are open to only the owner and the second passenger.

Passengers need the owner's consent to board the vehicle and can only move within designated areas.

Therefore, the first thing Wei Huan did upon seeing Mu Zhong was to find him and appoint him as "Deputy Captain".

After confirming that there were no changes outside the car or in his memory, Wei Huan turned his gaze away and turned on the projection screen.

The screen is projected onto the windshield.

After leaving the Challenge World, they no longer have the [Chat Room], but the [Rankings], [Shop], [Warehouse], and [Crafting] functions are still available.

Wei Huan selected [Warehouse], and the most eye-catching item was a golden treasure chest.

Mu Zhong stopped looking at his microscopic world and instead gazed at the golden treasure chest as if it were a dream lover.

"Open now?"

"open."

Wei Huan took out the treasure chest, but this time the items did not appear in the passenger seat.

There are two pickup points for the second-level vehicles.

One was in the living room, and the other was in the train commander's compartment.

Wei Huan chose the living room, so when he turned around, he saw the golden treasure chest placed in the middle of the living room from behind the two rows of seats.

The golden treasure chest is nearly 80 centimeters tall and measures 100 x 80 centimeters in length and width.

The golden shell is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, and the twisted lines are illuminated by the light, revealing a dazzling array of colors.

It was also the first time Wei Huan had ever seen a golden treasure chest, and he felt as if his eyes had been stung.

Then, a golden luster appeared in his dark eyes.

"The gold treasure chest is worth at least 100 million." Mu Zhong turned around and gazed at the chest with "deep affection" as he slowly said, "Three years ago, a gold blind box was auctioned on the black market and the price reached 550 million."

"Not only that." Wei Huan opened the passage and walked towards the golden treasure chest.

Mu Zhong didn't move, but twisted his body and leaned against the back of the seat, and continued, "Indeed, it's more than that. The things in the golden treasure chest are priceless. The gold-level potions are priced at 100 million, but there are almost no transaction records. Whoever has them drinks them themselves. One's own life is worth more than 100 million."

Wei Huan was getting closer to the golden treasure chest, and his heart was pounding a little.

Even though he's someone who's opened diamond chests before, he was still very excited to see the gold chest right in front of him.

His hand stopped abruptly before touching the golden treasure chest, and he looked at Mu Zhong: "Should I open it?"

Mu nodded: "Of course, you can open the gold treasure chest, and I'll open the platinum treasure chest."

"Are you so sure we can get platinum?"

"Brother, others may not know, but don't you know yourself? Is that what you call an unpacking challenge? That's plowing the field!" Mu Zhong propped himself up, his excited eyes filled with a kind of worship for Wei Huan that he himself was unaware of. "The points leaderboard is a sure thing, the vehicle performance leaderboard and the combat power leaderboard are also 100% sure thing, it doesn't matter if the remaining life leaderboard drags us down a bit, Platinum is definitely ours."

Wei Huan was amused and, without further hesitation, reached out to open the box.
