After that, things calmed down a lot.
Without Shi Hengjun's people causing trouble in the chat room, the atmosphere was much less hostile, and every time I opened the chat room, it was peaceful.
The news that "[Boss Wei opened the ruins and split the profits 50/50 with everyone, young and old alike]" spread through Zhang Tian's mouth.
Many people contact Wei Huan as soon as they discover the ruins, and if it's not too far, Wei Huan will go and check it out.
There were also quite a few rejections.
Wei Huan also wants the rewards from the [Champion Challenge].
The second stage of the road race still focuses on survival, adventure, and racing.
The [Champion Challenge] has been transformed into a national competition, and the first person in the country to reach the finish line still receives a golden treasure chest as a reward.
After completing the beginner road challenge, Challenge World gives challengers five days to rest.
Wei Huan spent those five days on a random challenge, only staying in the enclave for one night, and returned to his car in the cemetery the next day.
They waited in their car all day, and as soon as the Category 2 Highway Challenge opened, they entered the Challenge World.
Since he was among the first to arrive, he naturally wanted to try and get his hands on the golden treasure chest.
While exploring the ruins and finding the treasure map is important, the [Champion Challenge] chest is a sure thing – a golden chest.
He could open ten silver treasure chests and still not equal the value of one gold treasure chest.
Therefore, Wei Huan would have the smart assistant analyze the situation, and if it was really not worthwhile, he would have to refuse even if the coordinates were delivered to him.
Mu Zhong's enthusiasm for cleaning up junk has waned a little these past two days, and he's finally not sitting in the living room taking apart parts all day long.
Today, back in the driver's seat, while training my spiritual power in the microscopic world, I saw Wei Huan discussing another invitation from a ruin.
He then said, "You can't have both speed championship and ruin exploration. If we want speed championship, it's basically equivalent to giving up the right to explore this map. In addition, once you cross the finish line, you can't return to the segment and can only explore the public area in the second half, so the value of developing the ruins is not high."
Wei Huan nodded, "Get to the front as soon as possible."
Mu Zhong had a slightly different opinion: "Secondary highways have limited value, so not stopping is fine, but I suggest staying on the tertiary highway for a while longer. They've given the tertiary highway a name, do you know what it is?"
"Competing for supremacy in the Central Plains?"
Mu Chong laughed: "You know everything. Yes, the struggle for the Central Plains..."
Mu Zhong was about to make a few jokes when his gaze fixed on the other party's coordinates, and he said with certainty, "These coordinates are wrong."
Wei Huan also noticed: "The coordinates are up ahead."
"Yes, it's still ahead. Since yesterday, the coordinates of the ruins we've been sending have all been at the back, which means we've completely separated from the main force. Now the coordinates are ahead, do you think it might be?"
"They are people who stayed behind from the public area," Wei Huan said definitively.
Class 2 highway, also known as the district battlefield.
Not only are Wei Huan's challengers on this road, but also challengers from previous years' 10086 districts who did not make it to the Class III highway are all here.
These "veterans" are restricted to the latter half of the road and cannot return to the "stage" to interfere with the challengers' efforts unless they pay a heavy price.
but
As they reach the finish line and enter the second half of the road, they will merge with the veterans from previous years.
Wei Huan glanced at the number of people in the chat room: 413. This was a relatively stable number, reflecting the comings and goings of people over the past few days.
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 chapters and complete chapters.
With over 600 survivors in the initial challenge and over 400 returning, the return rate is a whopping 70%, likely the highest in recent years.
It's all because of Wei Huan's celebrity status.
At the same time, these stable numbers also indicate that Wei Huan has not completely left the novice challenger zone.
Just like national channels with an ever-increasing number of users, certain conditions need to be met before entering different channels.
"So the people in front colluded with the people behind?" Mu Zhong concluded. "We haven't even entered the second half yet, and the number of people in the chat room hasn't changed. Obviously, someone is waiting for us in front... It's a trap."
Wei Huan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not going."
Mu Chong laughed: "That's right, it's not that we're cowardly, but if we know it's a trap and still jump in, then we're just crazy."
Following that, Mu Zhong added, "If you survive for 10 days in the Challenge World, you can return to Blue Star once. In previous years, around the tenth day on the secondary highway, you would see the Illusion Wall and enter the second half of the race. By then, leaving once and returning would make you a veteran challenger."
But at our pace, I think we should be able to reach the Illusion Wall a day ahead of schedule, which means we have less than two days left.
Wei Huan said, "You can go slower. You're about to advance to Sequence Three. I want to wait until you advance before I go over."
Mu Zhong: "Indeed, there's probably going to be a tough battle on the other side. They've already gotten wind of it before you even arrived. Whether it's good or bad, we're too conspicuous."
A cold glint flashed in Wei Huan's eyes: "Only by overwhelming strength can we sweep away all troubles."
The so-called strength is not just Wei Huan's personal strength. In his heart, Mu Zhong is deeply bound to him, and Mu Zhong's improvement is his improvement.
He had been anticipating the shaman's "bloodlust" for a long time.
Mu Zhong, who had just come out of the Temple of Professions exhausted last night, was chased by Wei Huan and entered the Temple of Professions again early this morning.
For this reason, he had not trained his driver sequence for two days, focusing entirely on his shamanic training.
Wei Huan commanded the smart assistant to move in a "Z" pattern, expanding the search area while slowing it down slightly.
Shortly after, the smart assistant told him that more ruins had been discovered ahead.
Wei Huan, who was tidying up in the living room, secretly prayed that this time the ruins wouldn't be from the technology sector, otherwise he wouldn't know whether to call Mu Zhong or not.
Mu Zhong is now addicted to scavenging junk, just like he is to open boxes.
Fortunately, this time it was still the ruins of the Scaled Serpent.
It's just bigger than any of the previous ones.
Wei Huan summoned a full third of the undead creatures before he could barely complete the exploration of the cave and find the silver treasure chest hidden deep inside.
One silver treasure chest, three black iron treasure chests, and one bronze treasure chest.
I opened the silver and iron chests, but nothing of value came out.
But something jumped out of the bronze treasure chest.
[Obtain Return Symbol X1]
[Obtained Bronze Spirit Potion x1]
[Obtain Water Collector (Small)]
Regression symbol. ()
Look at this, who can you reason with? The stuff you get from one bronze treasure chest is worth more than three silver treasure chests.

Wei Huan took the Return Talisman out of the warehouse and held it in his hand for a while. If it weren't for the silver glasses reminding him, he wouldn't have known that it was actually an ear cartilage clip.
A very obscure piece of equipment.
Extremely delicate, only the size of a thumbnail, it looks like butterfly wings at first glance, but in fact it represents a Möbius strip that represents an endless cycle.
Wei Huan held it in his hand, thought for a moment, then took off the return charm necklace from his neck and clipped the ear cartilage clip above his right ear.
Perhaps due to its antique style and black color, it doesn't make a man look feminine when worn; on the contrary, it matches Wei Huan's overall cool black outfit very well.
Even if he wasn't good-looking, Wei Huan would still have stayed.
Ear bone clips are very rare equipment parts. Perhaps only unconventional "return charms" would think of hanging equipment here, so they won't conflict with other equipment and waste an equipment slot.
Not long after Wei Huan put on the ear cartilage clip, the undead army that had completed its exploration began to return.
First, ghost crows flew out, followed by a dense swarm of facehuggers covering the ground.
One of the facehuggers was particularly unique; it held a stone slab treasure map aloft on its front legs, with an iron block treasure map on top of it.
An insect somehow managed to get two treasure maps.
He rushed straight to the car, held up the treasure map like a precious treasure, and handed it to Wei Huan.
"Good boy/girl."
Wei Huan patted the facehugger that was almost at the elite level and named it "Doggy" to distinguish it from other facehuggers.
Anal-cleaning guy: "..."
Dog: "..."
Those who should have called him "Dog" didn't, and those who shouldn't have called him "Dog" did.
Neither side had the right to object, and both were happy.
Wei Huan took the treasure map from the dog's paw, turned around, separated the two pieces, laid them flat on the cabinet next to the driver's seat, and handed them to the smart home assistant for scanning.
The dog and the anus-peeling guy were circling the car, one to the left and the other to the right. Unsurprisingly, after circling twice, they collided.
The dog was knocked away by the anus-cleansing guy, flying through the air with its eight legs curled up into a ball, before landing on the sand and spinning around.
The green flames in the eyes of the anus-cleaning guy suddenly surged, and he happily made "click-click-click" sounds, then went up to continue harassing the dog.
Wei Huan was watching with great interest when the intelligent assistant spoke up: "Commander, I have calculated the coordinates of the treasure using the existing map."
Wei Huan turned his head in surprise: "I thought it was still early."
"Yes, we have a total of six types of treasure maps. The largest piece has about 18 fragments. The treasure coordinates we have now are composed of six fragments. Just now we obtained crucial information. After deduction, there is a 99.99% probability that the treasure coordinates are correct."
"Where? How long will it take?" Wei Huan was a little worried that they might have to turn back.
The smart assistant said, "On the other side of the illusion wall."
A little disappointed, but not too bad, Wei Huan nodded: "Mark the coordinates down so I can be reminded later. Now, let's keep moving forward."
"Yes, Commander."
Death
All the spirit creatures had gone back, except for the guy who was still playing with the dog. Wei Huan had a thought and took them back as well.
The next second, the smart home assistant sets off again.
This time, less than three minutes later, the smart assistant suddenly said, "Driver, a visitor is requesting to log in to the vehicle."
They're moving right now.
Wei Huan was indeed stunned for a while before slowly reacting, "Liu Chengzhi??_[()]?'Come and see the latest chapters and complete chapters'()"
"Yes, he requested to board the train. Do you agree?"
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "Let him come up."
As they were talking, Wei Huan had already left the driver's seat and entered the living room.
In the middle of the living room, one of the teleportation points for retrieving warehouse items was lit up.
Then a tall, muscular figure appeared in the circle of light.
Judging by that figure, who else could it be but Liu Chengzhi?
Before the teleportation was even completely finished, Liu Chengzhi started gesturing wildly, "Boss, boss, I'm back! I've come to repay your kindness! Hello, boss!! You actually let me on the bus, sob sob sob, I'm so touched~~"
Then she rushed over, grabbed Wei Huan's leg with a thud, looked up at him pitifully, and said, "Thank you for saving me, boss. My family has only had one son for nine generations. If I die, my family will be wiped out. My grandma will definitely not be able to bear it and will follow me. All the money that my grandpa, my dad, and my mom worked so hard to earn all their lives will just go to those stinking relatives."
You are not only my savior, but also my grandmother's savior, and even more so, my grandfather, father, and mother's great benefactor in the afterlife!
My grandma said, "If you're willing, I'll give you all the money in my family. Please, let me be your servant, let me repay you."
"..." Wei Huan knew that this kid was trying to blackmail him for a favor.
He had actually discussed it with Mu Zhong long ago. It would be fine if one person got in the car first. They were both busy right now, focusing on improving their strength, so their quality of life inevitably declined a bit.
Take this pile of junk in the living room, for example. It's been there for days, just lying around like this. It's not a good thing to leave it like this for too long.
Liu Chengzhi left Challenge World in their car. His old car was put back into the garage by Mu Zhong. When it returned, it must have been in their car.
Just in case, Mu Zhong had already learned about Liu Chengzhi's background a couple of days ago.
It's not a secret; you can find the answer by asking.
The Liu family has a background as red businessmen, and they are engaged in manufacturing. Before the arrival of the challenge world, they were already producing steel cables and other products for the national military industry.
After the arrival of the challenge world, the old man, son, and daughter-in-law who were in charge of the family all passed away. The 64-year-old old lady was appointed to take over the reins in the face of the crisis, and she is still supporting the lives of more than 80,000 people in Daxia.
Interestingly, before her grandson was about to enter the World Challenge, the old lady sought help from the Northeast Army.
Unfortunately, no one can interfere with the allocation of resources in the challenge world. Even Mu Zhong, who is on the verge of death, has to come in and go through a life-or-death ordeal. There's really nothing he can do to help this old lady.
But after going around in circles, Liu Chengzhi eventually got into Wei Huan's car.
Or rather, by getting into Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's car, he could be considered to have received protection from the military.
Mu Zhongke was a captain in the Northeast Army.
In any case, Liu Chengzhi had a clean background and the protection of his ancestors, so he was qualified to get into Wei Huan's car.
only...
Wei Huan asked him, his gaze sweeping over his wounds, "It's only been a few days, and you're back already? Have your injuries healed completely?"
Liu Chengzhi was moved to tears: "Yes, yes, yes, it's alright now. I'm just a little lame. My grandma asked a divine healer to help me, and he saved my life that very day. If she hadn't been so determined to make me a playboy, I would have been able to come back the next day."
"A playboy?" Wei Huan wondered if he had misheard.
Liu Chengzhi blushed and hummed in response, "Grandma only has me left as her family, and she doesn't want me to come back and take risks."
So... even being a good-for-nothing playboy is acceptable? As long as you're alive? This truly shows the old man's deep love...
"Did you come back without telling Grandma?"
Under Wei Huan's sharp gaze, Liu Chengzhi shook his head vigorously: "No, no, my grandma has a heart condition, I can't upset her, she's my only family. That's why I only came back today, Grandma said..." Liu Chengzhi's face lit up with a smile, "My family doesn't have anything good to give you, my Xinggang Group doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the state, so we can't give it to you, but some of the properties we've invested in are almost all in protected areas, so they're still worth some money."
Wei Huan: "..."
Liu Chengzhi, embarrassed, said, "I know you're not short of money. A single platinum treasure chest is priceless, and legions from all over the world are envious. And there are so many gold chests... I just want to tell you that you saved my life, my money, everything I have is yours. You can tell me what to do, so please take me in, boss!!!"
It's so noisy!
When Mu Zhong got into the car, he talked a lot, trying his best to prove his worth.
But Mu Zhong knew his limits; he said what he should say and refrained from saying what he shouldn't.
And look at this kid in front of me... They're all from extraordinary families, but their emotional intelligence and life experience are really lacking.
Is this reckless "output" actually trying to gain favor or losing it?
The old lady saw things clearly; this fat grandson was indeed more suited to be a spoiled brat.
Wei Huan was getting dizzy from his non-stop talking. He struggled to free his leg from his arm and said, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's go check your car."
Liu Chengzhi was unaware that Wei Huan had already tacitly approved of his status as a driver; he only knew that Wei Huan's refusal to nod in agreement meant that he hadn't taken a liking to him.
He followed behind Wei Huan with a long face, wondering if he was about to be kicked off the bus.
On the side of the balcony in the living room on the first floor, there is also a staircase leading down.
Go down and open the door; the entire first floor is a garage.
A level 3 vehicle carries five people including the driver and can also carry four smaller vehicles.
Mu Zhong's car had long been abandoned; he no longer owned a car.
In the world of challenges, a "car" is a very special entity, much like a household registration certificate.
Mu Zhong is now without his own "household registration" and has entered Wei Huan's "household registration". Once he chooses to leave, he will completely lose his status as a challenger.
Other drivers, like Liu Chengzhi, could leave and start their own businesses as long as they got Wei Huan's permission, even if they got into Wei Huan's car.
in other words.
The relationship between Wei Huan and Mu Zhong in the challenge world is similar to "not divorced, but widowed".
We arrived at the basement.
The light was turned on.
Liu Chengzhi's mournful face couldn't hide the smile that was hidden beneath.
Hahaha! His car is now a twisted junk!
Okay, okay!
car:"..."
Liu Chengzhi feigned sadness, forcing a smile as he said, "I can't use this car right now. Can I stay in it until it's fixed?"
Wei Huan was amused by his appearance, but he didn't show it on his face and nodded.
"Okay!" The rising tone was forced down.
Liu Chengzhi rubbed his hands together, looking at Wei Huan expectantly, "To repay you, how about I grill some meat for you?"
...
When Mu Chong came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, Liu Chengzhi had already set up a barbecue grill on the first-floor balcony. Large chunks of meat were turning over the charcoal fire, and the sizzling sound of oil released a rich aroma of grilled meat.
"He's up here?" Mu Chong moved closer to Wei Huan and looked at the figure outside on the balcony. "Are they eating barbecue in the middle of the day?"
Wei Huan said, "I made you a light soup, and the rice is cooked in the pot too. You can eat this."
Mu Zhong was still recovering from his injuries and shouldn't eat too much strong-flavored food, but the smell made him crave it: "Half a skewer."
Wei Huan neither said yes nor no, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your injury is no ordinary injury, is it? Liu Chengzhi's injury was so serious that even a divine healer would have been back in three days."
Mu Zhong chuckled: "You're really patient, only asking me now."
Wei Huan paused for a moment, then explained, "It's just out of respect for you."
"Yes, you respect me, and I respect you. We just care too much about each other's feelings. Actually, there are many things we should have said a long time ago, but we always hold them back until the last moment."
Mu Chong glanced out the window at Liu Chengzhi, who was happily grilling skewers and singing and dancing: "The Dragon Group is responsible for harassing the Dark Beast Lord's development in random challenges and killing as many of his geniuses as possible. Although not everyone knows this, anyone who wants to find out can find out."
Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong continued, "I can't even get into the Challenge World, so my internship in the Dragon Group is just a formality. In reality, I'm involved in national security work within the Northeast Army's jurisdiction."
Wei Huan: "Military security and intelligence gathering?"
"Yes." Mu nodded. "Counter-espionage."
After saying this, Mu Zhong fell silent.
Wei Huan looked at him in confusion. They had already talked about this much, so why did he fall silent again?
Mu Zhong was also embarrassed. He thought for a moment and said, "Wei Huan, my life is yours. You have to believe me. I don't want to hide anything from you, but my injury is indeed a highly confidential matter, and I can't explain it to you very clearly."
All I can tell you is that if challenging the world is a battle concerning human civilization, then the actions taken in the shadows on Earth are even more of a power struggle.
Moreover, it's not just the various legions plotting in secret; in fact, deep within Earth, there's an undercurrent more terrifying than you can imagine.
Wei Huan frowned.
With this limited information, he seemed to be able to guess something. It seemed that the only ones who could be called "thunderbolts" in the previous life were those guys.
"What is the undercurrent?" Wei Huan asked deliberately.
"this..."
"inconvenient
explain?"()
"They're a bunch of lunatics."

"Hmm, what's so scary about a madman?"
"No, those madmen gained some authority to challenge the world, I…" Mu Zhong thought for a moment and shook his head, "My knowledge is also limited."
Hearing this, Wei Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that those guys had been "seen" by the authorities and were not far from being completely exposed.
Wei Huan could tell that Mu Zhong really didn't know much, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about confidential matters."
"Um..."
"Let's get back to your leg... So, while you were on a mission, the other side used a special item from a world-challenging realm, which injured you and prevented the Divine Healer from saving you. You could only heal yourself by increasing your own strength, right?"
"right..."
"Which faction is it?"
"I don't know. Of the 16 comrades who were on the same mission, 11 were killed on the spot. Another senior brother and I were seriously injured at the same time. I barely woke up, but he didn't make it." When talking about this, Mu Zhong's shoulders were heavy. The grief that he usually suppressed surged up like thick ink, threatening to engulf him.
Before he could be pulled down and suffocate, Wei Huan grabbed his wrist, as if trying to pull him up, and said with force, "Time to eat."
Mu Chong snapped out of his daze, blinked, and, following Wei Huan's lead, struggled to climb up. "Okay, I'm really hungry."
She looked up and smiled at Wei Huan, but the smile was forced.
Wei Huan didn't like it, but he also thought it was great and deserved all the praise, so he reached out and ruffled his hair.
The soft hair slipped through my fingers, and I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to let it go.
Halfway through the kneading, both of them froze.
"Boss!"
Liu Chengzhi carried a plate of roasted meat into the house and saw the two of them staring at each other.
Holy crap! This is love!!
Liu Chengzhi slowly, bit by bit, carefully shrank himself.
