Wei Huan looked at the abandoned mecha.
If we say this is a level six car...
It's quite reasonable that the vehicle has level 5 technological items.
I never expected to find what I'd been longing for here!
A smile appeared in Wei Huan's eyes.
Command the facehugger to move the mech to the front of the vehicle.
Even if these things are obsolete and unusable, junior technicians can disassemble and study them, which is a new hope for Mu Zhong.
After that, Facehugger found two more damaged miniature mechs, both of which Wei Huan requested to be collected separately.
The garbage mountain was completely removed, revealing the dark iron blocks underneath.
Found it!
Treasure map fragments!
Next, Wei Huan went to two other rooms where he opened treasure chests, but after not finding any useful items, he went back to find Mu Zhong.
Mu Chongzheng was directing a cave beast guard to carefully carry a two-meter-tall black iron ball on its back.
The remaining undead skeletons are destroying the gate, clearly trying to take this thing out.
"What is this?" Wei Huan asked.
"It might be an advanced engine or some other advanced component, but I don't have the capability to disassemble it on-site; I can only transport it out as a whole."
Wei Huan nodded and asked, "Are we going anywhere else?"
Mu Zhong said with a regretful look, "This place is simply a treasure trove for pilots. I can feel my level has improved significantly."
But we can't waste any more time here.
Besides, I have enough of this to slowly digest and absorb when I get back.
Wei Huan also felt it was about the same. Not only this big iron ball, but also the cockpit controls and the three miniature mechs could keep Mu Zhong busy for a long time.
Three hours had passed when they returned to the ground.
For a road trip where every second counts, this exploration took far too long.
A jumble of items, too messy to fit into the spatial backpack, were piled up in the living room.
The space, which was beautiful and tidy in the morning, has become a mess.
Wei Huan closed the door and called out, "Butler."
"Hello, conductor, I'm here."
"drive."
"OK."
The best thing about a Tier 3 vehicle is that Wei Huan doesn't need to sit in the driver's seat to drive.
Set the speed to 500 mph and let the AI drive.
Outside the carriage, only ghost crows were flitting about. Even Little Dot couldn't keep up with their speed and was taken back into the great tomb by Wei Huan.
The car kept going, but they didn't encounter a single treasure chest.
The radar range of the intermediate AI is not as far as Wei Huan's summoning range, and the treasure chests along the way have already been opened by the Ghost Crow.
Nearly two hours of non-stop driving was enough to make up for most of the time wasted exploring the ruins.
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan spent the time organizing supplies in the living room.
Dual-class gameplay is very powerful, but it also has a significant drawback.
The problem is that a person's energy is limited. After training in a professional temple, most people will be exhausted and find it difficult to enter a second professional temple to continue training.
Mu Zhong is various
A true strong person must be even stronger.
He not only had to undergo dual-profession training, but also had to hone his spiritual power in the microscopic world.
My day is already packed with activities, and I still have to deal with the trivial matters of daily life and trading goods.
Even with his best efforts, the speed of the pilot sequence increased very slowly.
However, the problem of not being able to train [drivers] seems to have been partially resolved.
While disassembling these parts, Mu Zhong was also improving his professional skills. This knowledge might be somewhat scattered, but when he went to the "Temple of Pilots" again, he would make rapid progress.
Wei Huan lent a hand, helping Mu Zhong move the overly heavy objects.
He almost never summons spirits in his car, and he prefers his living quarters to be free of any eerie atmosphere.
After finishing his work of moving things, he would train in real combat skills on the side.
After you no longer need to drive or open treasure chests, all that's left is to desperately improve yourself.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
As the scheduled time approaches, the intelligent assistant reminds us: "Captain, we have traveled 1600 kilometers, opening one silver treasure chest, 13 iron treasure chests, and 8 bronze treasure chests, but have not yet discovered any ruins. [()]'Come and see the latest chapters_complete chapters'()"
After a pause, the smart assistant continued, "Would you like to continue?"
Wei Huan was sweating profusely, training with great enthusiasm.
Mu Zhong also focused intently on disassembling the parts in his hands.
After thinking about it, I realized that the number of treasure chest monsters following behind the car was so small that they wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Wei Huan said, "Keep moving at this speed. If you encounter ruins, or if it's two hours later, remind me."
"Received, train commander."
However, this interruption caused Wei Huan to lose the will to continue training.
He stopped training, quickly washed his face, grabbed a bottle of water, and went to the driver's seat.
As he passed through the living room, Mu Zhongzheng was engrossed in dismantling the device, not even raising his head.
Wei Huan's lips curled slightly.
A professional awakening is definitely the most suitable for oneself. Mu Zhong always said that he did not understand why he awakened the "driver sequence", but what is the truth?
I'm completely addicted to this profession and can't break free.
...
Back in the driver's seat, the view suddenly opened up.
The windshield takes up almost half of the room, offering a clear view of the scorching heat outside and the monotonous, blindingly bright sand dunes.
The three-level windshield is intelligently adjusted so that when you look out, you can clearly see the scenery outside without feeling uncomfortable.
Wei Huan sat in the driver's seat.
This is a soft, semi-enclosed chair that perfectly conforms to the curvature of the human body.
Right in the center of the windshield, there are no passenger seats on either side.
There are protruding cabinets on both sides, which can hold a lot of things, and empty mineral water bottles are casually placed on top of them.
Once he sits down, the seat will sink slightly, comfortably enveloping his body.
Then, as he instructed, they either sat there or moved forward about half a meter.
The seat, which pushes forward, fits perfectly into the cabinet.
A round steering wheel was handed directly to him.
Looking around to the left and right, it was a very strange feeling.
They knew perfectly well that there was a large space behind them, and that it wasn't a car at all, but a room.
But after he sat down here, his perspective and physical sensations returned to exactly the same as before the upgrade.
The familiar feeling of driving.
After he got into the driver's seat, the intelligent assistant asked, "Driver, would you like to switch to manual driving?"
Wei Huan said, "No need."
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Huan is an experienced driver with a wealth of driving experience.
But human strength has its limits; even he could not maintain a speed of 500 miles per hour for several hours without an accident.
"Autonomous driving" is a necessity for future highway challenges, and the main task of challengers has changed from tedious driving to opening treasure chests and exploring ruins.
And by rapidly absorbing the items in the treasure chests, they evolve wildly, ultimately fighting against the Dark Beast Lord on the front lines.
The focus of the road challenge has always been on survival and development, not on being a driver.
After looking out the window for a while, Wei Huan turned his gaze back and turned on the projection screen on the windshield.
He originally wanted to see what he had just unlocked and whether there were any level four components that could be upgraded.
Starting with Tier 4 vehicles, most parts will drop from opening Silver Chests.
Not only are they few in number, but the treasure chest monsters are also extremely powerful.
It's almost to the point where, unless you're part of a powerful convoy, even an individual wouldn't dare open a silver treasure chest.
Not to mention the golden treasure chest.
For the current challenge legions that are upgrading from level four to level five, every time they open a golden treasure chest, it is a war fraught with danger.
Sometimes, those who challenge the legion would rather face a visible tribe of alien monsters than the random monsters that appear when opening a golden treasure chest.
Wei Huan has opened high-level treasure chests that others can't even dream of, but he only realized this when he actually needed the resources at this stage.
There isn't a single one that can be upgraded.
The predicament of my past life suddenly came rushing back to me.
It took him a full five years to advance from Sequence 3 to Sequence 4.
Little by little, we accumulate; little by little, we persevere...
But soon, this feeling of powerlessness receded like the tide.
This life is different; I'm sure I can go much further.
After confirming that there were no upgrades available, Wei Huan finally turned his attention to the chat room.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that there was a problem.
[You weren't the only one who discovered the ruins. You're afraid to open the silver treasure chest, but I am. Why are you hogging it and preventing me from opening it!]
...
[Liu Feng, I know it's you! You stole my treasure map fragments, I'm not done with you! It's a fight to the death!!]
...
[Someone's killing people in the ruins!! Do not go to the ruins at coordinates 12334·2422, many people have died.]
...
[Give me your coordinates, do you really want to die?]
...
[Teng Jiayang: Please, everyone's cold]
Stay calm, and absolutely do not fight amongst yourselves. Our only enemy is the Dark Beast Clan.
[Teng Jiayang: You must live. Living is the most important thing. Think of your parents and relatives. Calm down. They are waiting for you to come home.]
...
Wei Huan frowned slightly upon seeing this.
What I feared has finally come to pass.
This phenomenon is not isolated, but extremely common.
When ruins appear, inevitably indicating the presence of treasure chests, challengers who leave their vehicles to explore lose their last refuge.
At the same time, in the depths of darkness, it was as if the shackles of morality had been broken, and one by one, they transformed into demons.
Greed and arrogance are inherent flaws in human nature. Faced with temptation, no matter how much society appeals or schools teach, in the end, we will all succumb to the allure of desire deep in the darkness.
There will always be a period of chaos.
Only when one awakens from fear can order be restored.
Wei Huan asked the smart assistant, "If I go to 12334·2422, how long will it take?"
The smart assistant said, "The ship will deviate from its current course for 23 minutes."
Wei Huan was slightly surprised and muttered to himself, "Only 23 minutes?"
The smart assistant overheard this and analyzed, "Yes, the coordinates are 256.23 kilometers to our right. At our current speed, we can reach them in 23 minutes."
"Full speed?"
"It can reach a speed of 670 mph in just 16 minutes."
"Let's go take a look at it at full speed."
"OK."
The intelligent assistant controls the vehicle to steer to the left, and the slight tilt and acceleration can be felt in the driver's seat.
But once I got back to my room, that feeling was gone.
Wei Huan leaned slightly to the side as he pondered.
They had spent far too long in the previous ruins; even traveling at 500 miles per hour without stopping, they still hadn't broken away from the main force.
The direction we're heading is even a little ahead.
Previously, in the beginner challenge, Wei Huan's top speed was 350 mph.
After entering the Level 2 challenge, he upgraded to a Level 3 engine, Level 3 tires, Level 3 shock absorbers, and aerodynamic tires modified with special blueprints, which boosted his speed to 520 mph.
After that, the entire vehicle was upgraded, increasing the speed by 150 mph, eventually reaching 670 mph.
This speed is almost the fastest speed a small airplane can achieve in the air.
The reason for not maintaining a speed of 670 miles per hour is that the Ghost Raven can no longer keep up with that speed.
This reaffirmed Wei Huan's belief that he really needed to accelerate his professional training.
Otherwise, what you miss out on is more than just speed.
Even at 670 mph, the Ghost Crow couldn't open the box, and the smart home assistant's scanning radius didn't detect it either.
Wei Huan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he should be back on the main road. Since the road had been ransacked, there couldn't be any more boxes.
That's good, at least we didn't miss out on a lot of billions...
About seven or eight minutes later, Wei Huan saw the dust kicked up by the vehicles ahead.
The smart assistant also alerted: "Challenger vehicle spotted ahead."
"Surpass him." Wei Huan
explain.
"good."
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 come and read the latest and complete chapters.
Without any intention of slowing down, Wei Huan's car sped past the front like a gust of wind.
The young challengers, also heading to the same coordinates to see the so-called ruins and join in the fun, were enduring the high desert temperatures and getting dizzy from driving.
Suddenly a cloud of dust billowed up, and something darted ahead.
Car?
Impossible, that's way too fast!
The speed difference was so great that it felt like I was standing still.
So, is it a monster? Or a sandstorm?
Looking at the direction the sandstorm was heading, it seemed to be the same as his own goal.
The young challenger slammed on the brakes and came to a stop in place.
The excitement at the top suddenly subsided.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally turned the steering wheel and drove in a different direction.
Whether it was a wandering monster, a natural disaster, or a challenger, this speed had completely exceeded his expectations.
If something unexpected happens... I'm afraid I won't even be able to escape.
This person is very rational and knows how to adjust in time.
But Wei Huan encountered more than one car along the way.
The closer you get to the target ruins, the more cars overtake you.
The car owners, seeing the dust he kicked up after overtaking, excitedly shouted in the chat room.
[Holy crap! What just flew by? I hadn't even realized what was happening before I was hit by a pile of exhaust fumes.]
[Did you see it too? I saw it too! It's a white van with peculiar wheels; it looks like it's floating in mid-air.]
[It's nothing special. Aerodynamic tires require special blueprints, but they're not that rare. I learned them too; I'm just short of materials to upgrade.]
[That speed... upgrading just one tire wouldn't achieve it! It's incredibly fast!]
[With a whoosh, I spun around a hundred times in place.]
[Hahaha!]
The chat room was filled with bloody curses, but Wei Huan's appearance slightly changed the atmosphere.
Even though no one knew that he was the person in the car, in the road challenge, "speed" is almost synonymous with "strength".
Everyone knew that a big shot had rushed over.
The same person who threatened to kill someone by revealing their coordinates was speaking in the chat room.
[Zhang Tian: Now we're in trouble, someone's coming, and we can't take any of them.]
[Zhang Tian: I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you.]
[Zhang Tian: Seriously, if you're so tough, don't hide in the car. Wait till I get back and find out who you are, you'll be sorry!]
The three consecutive comments revealed that the person named Zhang Tian was furious.
In the chat room, some people, not wanting to miss out on the fun, started making sarcastic remarks.
Some people were genuinely curious: "[What's the situation there? Can't they team up to explore? Even if it's a monster in the silver treasure chest, two or three skilled players should be able to take it down at this stage, right?]"
Immediately, someone replied that he was naive and foolish: "[You open the treasure chest, the supplies go straight to the car, and after all that hard work, what if you don't get to share them? Without trust, don't easily team up with others; who knows if your teammates are good or bad?]"
Trust is mutual, isn't it?
I'm a prayer seeker, and I'd like to team up with someone. We can split the supplies 50/50 as per the rules.
[At this stage, it's better for two combat classes to team up than to bring a healer. The healing output of a healer is less than what I can heal myself.]
[The Holy Light Bottle for Prayers can be bought at the auction house for a few points, why burden yourself with something like this?]
Wei Huan's gaze fell on the last name spoken, "Imai".
It's more accurate to call this a surname than a name; it's the surname of the Mulberry Tree Kingdom.
Wei Huan was so certain because, starting from the initial challenge, every time Shi Hengjun spoke, this guy named Imai would chime in.
Sometimes it's flattering and fawning over Shi Hengjun, sometimes it's helping Shi Hengjun build momentum, and sometimes it's like now, always stirring up trouble and creating controversy.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the chat room, which had just improved because of Wei Huan's appearance, was immediately filled with hostility again.
Some people support Imai's statement, arguing that there is no need to carry a healing and support role at this stage and drag yourself down.
There are many more people who, because of their regular school education, know the importance of these non-combat professions, which can only be demonstrated on the big battlefield. They are a group that needs our help and kindness.
The inflammatory remarks sparked a new round of debate in the chat room.
Imai also occasionally stirs up trouble.
It's hard to imagine what his purpose was in doing this. It couldn't have been something he simply found interesting, which would make him even more despicable—a born devil.
Unfortunately, some people are not firm in their stance and are easily fooled, so they follow the other party's rhythm.
Little did they know that they had become a "knife" in the hands of the other side, used to stab their fellow countrymen.
Wei Huan noted down the name, and when he came to his senses, the smart home assistant informed him that they were about to arrive at their destination.
The smart assistant said, "Ruins detected ahead. Would you like to switch to manual driving?"
Wei Huan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, turned it slightly, and the driving control was back in his hands.
Smart Assistant: "It has been switched to manual mode. Have a pleasant drive."
The car speed was reduced to 50 miles per hour.
Wei Huan drove the car, slowly gliding forward.
After crossing the last small hill, he indeed saw a ruin.
The ruins looked familiar; the broken eggshells on the outside and the downward-facing circular passageway suggested it was another Scaled Serpent's cave.
Outside the ruins, more than 20 vehicles were already parked.
These old, white vans lay scattered haphazardly around half of the ruins.
Yellow sand blew by, slapping against the arrow-shaped opening on the roof of the vehicle, carrying a chilling sense of impending doom. A flash of blue electricity streaked across the vehicle's surface, deflecting all the sand and dust half a meter away, forming a protective shield like a protective film.
They were almost all facing outwards, with the windows tightly closed, so you couldn't see anyone inside.
They maintained an extremely restrained and wary distance from each other.
I didn't see the supposed bloodshed in the chat room.
Could it be inside a cave?
Wei Huan weaved through the gap between the two vehicles and drove closer to the ruins.
"drop--!!"
"Beep beep—!!"
Before he could make a move, behind him...
A car horn sounded, like a warning.
Wei Huan ignored him and continued driving forward.
"Beep beep beep—!!"
"Beep beep beep—!!"
The horn blared even louder.
The sound was so loud that it came from all directions, as if all the cars were yelling.
Annoyed by the noise, Wei Huan turned the steering wheel all the way to the left, floated in the air, and turned the car 180 degrees to face everyone.
In the chat room, Zhang Tian was roaring again.
[Zhang Tian: Newbie, do you want to die? It's just a powered hoverwheel, what's so great about it?]
Zhang Tian is indeed a fool.
There were clearly more than 20 cars here, and most of them honked their horns, but no one took the initiative to do anything.
Only Zhang Tian was shouting: "[No matter how you want to divide it, I won't accept it. I discovered the ruins first, and we saw the treasure chest first. If you want to stay here, the dungeon will close, and we'll all die together!]"
[Hey you in front, get out of the way! It's not your turn to go in! I'll count to three, and then I'll make my move!]
[one]
[two]
[three!]
As soon as he finished speaking, three of the four vehicles closest to the ruins simultaneously opened the arrow towers and moved the vehicles forward by three meters.
Zhang Tian said in the chat group: [Get lost! Don't force me to go on a killing spree!!]
Only after seeing this did Wei Huan understand why this Zhang Tian was so arrogant.
He has allies.
Three vehicles, and they all appear to be level 2 arrow towers.
No wonder he's so arrogant.
At this stage, most people have not yet formed a team and are still using level 1 vehicles. Level 2 arrow towers are enough to easily destroy a vehicle.
The key is that there are still three of them.
If it weren't for the fact that driving wasn't allowed when exploring the ruins, with the capabilities of their three vehicles, they could indeed have fought the Scaled Serpent in the Silver Treasure Chest and ultimately emerged victorious.
This leads to the conclusion.
It's likely that Zhang Tian was indeed the first to discover the ruins.
While waiting for his teammates to arrive, he was discovered by outsiders who also revealed his coordinates.
That's why he's so irritable.
Successfully opening a silver treasure chest can be worth around 2 million. If you're lucky, you might get the most in-demand farmer-series equipment, which can be sold for even more.
make money!
It is the main purpose for most people to risk death and return to challenging the world.
Let them see that they can't get their money; that's tantamount to denying them their lives!
As Wei Huan was thinking, the three cars moved a little closer.
They've already counted to three, but they still haven't launched an attack.
It doesn't seem to be particularly crazy or without any bottom line.
Wei Huan neither spoke nor summoned his army of the undead.
Simply notify the smart home manager: "Activate defense mode."
So, under everyone's gaze, this vehicle, which was just like them except for its wheels being horizontal and floating in mid-air, was nothing more than a dilapidated white minivan. But in the next second, a blue protective sphere of light with a radius of 3 meters appeared.
Below the car, there was also
Two rows of rolling serrated edges appeared.
If these two external parts of the vehicle are not obvious, then when the two-story arrow towers on the top of the vehicle rise up, his identity will be obvious.
...
"It's a level 3 arrow tower!?"
...
"Look, this protective shield should be level three!"
...
"So, is this a Class II vehicle? Or... a Class III vehicle?"
...
"Tsk! Who cares if it's a level 2 or level 3 car? Right now, only Boss Wei in our district has upgraded to a level 2 car, right?"
Various thoughts collided in the mind, and the clever ones immediately made the correct association.
[Is that Boss Wei?]
[Aaaaaaah!? I saw her in person, Mom!! This trip was totally worth it!!]
[Wei Huan! It's Wei Huan!! Who else dares to be this awesome? Only my godfather!!]
Immediately afterwards, the chat room was filled with conversation.
[What? Where is Boss Wei Huan?]
[Could it be that Boss Wei just overtook me? Wow, the dust he kicked up was spectacular!!]
[Those exhaust fumes, so cool!]
[Ugh, I was just a few seconds too late! Can someone describe what that car looks like? Is it a sports car or an off-road skin? I think that guy should buy a rocket skin.]
[Pfft! Help! Am I the only one who thinks the rocket skin is the ugliest? It looks like a dick flying away! Hahaha...]
Strangely enough, the atmosphere instantly became more relaxed.
It's like an umbrella suddenly being put up over your head; even though you're still walking in the storm, you inexplicably feel a little protected.
Even a slight difference in ability can lead to jealousy and competition.
However, if the difference in strength is vast, it's like a mortal meeting a deity, leaving only worship and the expectation of protection.
The chat room was in an uproar, and the conflict and argument that Imai had deliberately created just now vanished instantly.
Many people even lined up in the chat room to shout.
[I'm going to visit Boss Wei at 12334·2422, not to compete for resources, thank you.]
[I also want to see Boss Wei, but I won't compete for resources.]
[Look at Boss Wei, he doesn't fight over resources.]
[look...]
The following comments were all identical, with hundreds of people lining up to see "Boss Wei".
Boss Wei himself: "..."!
