This surprised Wei Huan, and he looked away from Xu Qingqiang: "Are the materials enough?"
"Yes, that's enough." Although Mu's cousin didn't know why there were enough materials in the car, he nodded, his face full of surprise.
Wei Huan's vehicle is currently only a Tier 4 basic vehicle. If he wants to upgrade, he needs to stay on Tier 3 roads and buy materials sold on Tier 4 roads at high prices.
Alternatively, one could pass the Level 4 highway test, then go to the Level 4 highway and hunt various wandering or ruin monsters to obtain Level 5 non-core materials.
In other words, it is very difficult to obtain level 5 materials on level 2 or 3 roads, since it involves a significant leap in levels.
Mu's cousin had seen the materials that Commander Mu had sent, a small portion of which had been taken from the Mu family.
Commander Hong's fall was too sudden. Commander Mu had been focused on building up the legion and hadn't thought about leaving himself any way out.
That's why things became so difficult after Commander Hong fell.
In short, level four materials are expensive, and level five materials are even more difficult to obtain and expensive.
There were indeed no Level 5 materials among the batch of materials sent by Commander Mu.
But now, Wei Huan's side has defeated a Platinum Treasure Chest-level monster, and as soon as the blueprint drops, he can click to craft it, which is really surprising.
How many high-level chests has Wei Huan opened? He's even collected enough level 5 materials.
How could someone like that not be strong?
Others are considered strong if they can open silver treasure chests, but for him, silver treasure chests are no longer rare. Only gold treasure chests are worth his effort.
Now, I've even witnessed him open the Platinum Chest with my own eyes.
Mu's cousin had only been on the train for a short time and had been busy with the assessment to become a leader, so Mu Zhong had many concerns and had not talked to him about the ruins of Supply Point No. 3 in District 1006.
Otherwise, Brother Mu wouldn't have been surprised that they were able to kill the Platinum Monster.
Wei Huan has opened one diamond treasure chest so far, which is the starting point for his god-like status.
Two platinum treasure chests, one of which was obtained through hard-fought battles today, and the other was the World Championship reward for the first-class highway, which allowed Mu Zhong to awaken a five-star [driver sequence].
As for the gold treasure chests, there are too many. There are five from the first-level highway reward, five from the second-level highway reward, and he opened two more himself. In addition, there are some scattered equipment from treasure map exploration. His inventory alone can support half of the legion's high-end resources.
With this calculation, it's not surprising that you'll accumulate enough upgrade materials for a level 5 blueprint.
Mu Tangge looked at Wei Huan expectantly.
Wei Huan nodded. Of course, he wanted to upgrade; there was no reason to hesitate.
Mu Tangge excitedly clicked the "make" button.
A level 5 component! You upgraded it by pressing a button with your own hand?! I'm not washing this cheat code for a week!!
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhong and Wei Huan went to check on the other equipment that had just fallen.
They also find platinum-level equipment very useful.
Xu Qingqiang, who ate the whole plate of meat, including the plate itself, finally managed to recover a little.
His healing wounds were releasing highly toxic substances, and white smoke was billowing from his face and body.
The driver's cab reeked of a pungent stench.
Xu Qingqiang pointed in one direction and said, "This direction, one..."
Keep walking straight ahead, and I'm sure they'll be there unless they move.
Wei Huan immediately stopped what he was doing and called out, "Butler, the map."
The smart home assistant projected a map onto the screen and drew a line in the direction pointed out by Xu Qingqiang.
Subsequently, the positions of the Group A teams were marked on that line.
Sure enough, there was an intersection ahead.
In other words, Group A will be attacked by traps again when they set off tomorrow.
Throughout the day, Qi Jialu had changed directions several times, presumably to avoid the Dark Beast Squad's ambush.
But the Dark Beast Squad is not going to give up so easily.
Qi Jialu's evasive tactics will only embolden them.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to set a trap for Wei Huan's team, who was clumsy, slow, and could only move in a straight line, compared to the agile Qi Jialu?
Wei Huan's open scheme worked.
They were afraid of Wei Huan.
Now, these dark beasts have their eyes on Qi Jialu's convoy.
If the next traps fail, these dark beasts will surely resort to even more extreme measures.
Wei Huan's tactics were the same from beginning to end.
Kill the Dark Beast Squad, and the road ahead will be wide and smooth!
There's not much to say. If Xu Qingqiang can accurately capture this Dark Beast Squad, he will definitely take the initiative to attack.
Now we can see the reasons behind Xu Qingqiang's request to play.
It seems that, besides realizing that Wei Huan's side lacked a "sharp edge," he deliberately made himself look so miserable in order to more accurately locate the Dark Beast Squad and resolve Qi Jialu's crisis.
Xu Qingqiang is not a good person in the traditional sense. He is a hooligan with little education and no sense of morality, but he is loyal and devoted to Qi Jialu, even at the cost of hurting himself.
It's hard to completely dislike someone like that.
"Follow the direction he points." Wei Huan nodded, not wanting to let Xu Qingqiang's sacrifice go to waste, but still reminded him, "In three hours, you will become weak, and if you don't eat and heal your wounds, you will suffer a lot."
Xu Qingqiang's smile was twisted, but deep in his eyes, one could see his gratitude towards Wei Huan. "Eating might solve the weakness problem, hehe, who knows? Hehehe..."
Wei Huan was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Xu Qingqiang intently and saw him laughing strangely and looking wicked.
Just then, Liu Chengzhi brought over the food, and Wei Huan turned his attention back to the list of supplies dropped from the Platinum Treasure Chest.
Wei Huan took the [Platinum Power Potion] directly.
What others don't know is that his attributes have always been very high, and because he insists on undergoing real soldier training, his close combat ability is also very strong.
If one day he really needs to engage in close combat, then this will be his last line of defense, and he will make all those who underestimated him regret it.
The [Platinum Agility Claw Gauntlet] is a great item, a god-tier item for rogues, and can also be used in Twisted Fist.
Wei Huan felt that giving this equipment to Xu Qingqiang would greatly enhance Xu Qingqiang's strength, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to want the [Platinum Magic Flute] first, because the [Platinum Magic Flute] could control monsters, and Xu Qingqiang treated this thing as his "buffet bell".
However, they are all exchanged with DKP, so it depends on which one Xu Qingqiang wants first.
No one else has such a high DKP.
The upgrade to [Level 5 tires] is underway, which is a very unexpected surprise.
Wei Huan took a shortcut to upgrade his vehicle from level three to level four, essentially skipping a level. From then on, no one could help him; he had to work hard to achieve it himself.
Each improvement to a single component represents a significant step forward.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Huan's gaze fell on the "super energy storage tank".
Since its name didn't reveal what it was, it was retrieved from the warehouse.
Something unexpected was described as a "jar," as I had assumed it was something like a ceramic jar.
In reality, this thing is only about the size of a palm, a flat, round, disc-shaped object that feels quite heavy in the hand. It's unclear how to use it, and it looks a bit like a toy.
However, as Wei Huan stared at it, the description of the silver glasses also appeared.
[Super Energy Storage Tank]
Note: After the user enters the type of energy they need, a certain amount of energy can be generated and stored every day.
It was a very simple explanation, but Wei Huan quickly figured out how to use it.
Mu Zhong was right beside him, looking at Wei Huan expectantly.
"What is it? How do I use it?"
Wei Huan didn't explain, but instead raised his hand and took the next item, [Platinum Glasses], out of the warehouse. After glancing at it, he handed it to Mu Zhong.
When Mu Zhong received the [Platinum Glasses], he couldn't tell at first that they were glasses, because when he held them in his hand, they looked like a black ear clip.
The ear cartilage clip, about the width of a little finger, was platinum in color. Apart from that, the design was very simple. If Wei Huan hadn't been wearing an ear cartilage clip on his ear, he wouldn't even have known where it was worn.
When Wei Huan saw him staring at him, he pointed to his ear cartilage.
Mu Zhong grunted in agreement and, with a puzzled look, clipped the ear cartilage clip onto his right ear.
After he put it on, his brow furrowed slightly, as if something had pricked him.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a "beep" sound indicating that the system was starting up, and a voice said in his ear: "Binding in progress... Binding successful... Hello master, the challenge system is at your service."
Mu Zhong raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "Is this equipment?"
Wei Huan already knew, and said, "It's an upgraded version of the Silver Glasses, with AI."
Mu Zhong had already realized the value of this item: "It should be used by you."
Wei Huan said, "I have glasses."
While listening to the AI system's chatter, Mu Zhong said, "Its functions are more powerful than the Silver Glasses."
"I'm used to these glasses." Wei Huan was already used to the feeling of wearing glasses on his nose. Besides, he couldn't bring himself to keep the good stuff for himself and give the discarded ones to Mu Zhong. At most, he would just replace them next time he got similar supplies.
Mu Zhong could see that Wei Huan treated him specially. As a subordinate, he felt apprehensive, but as Wei Huan's partner, Wei Huan's gentleness moved him.
Ultimately, he chose to accept it.
He raised his hand and pressed the ear clip, and a virtual light screen appeared before his eyes, bringing the whole world to life with data.
Looking again at the super energy storage tank, the same explanation appeared on the virtual screen in front of him.
"This..." Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Could storing Nether Power solve the problem of Netherfire?"
Wei Huan knew that Mu Zhong would think the same way. He nodded and said, "That's what I think too. I just don't know how many can be filled in a day."
"You'll know once you try it."
Wei Huan nodded, fumbled around on the "energy tank" for a bit, found the switch, and input his inner energy.
After the Nether Force entered the "energy tank," the two exchanged a surprised glance, and the data on their glasses changed!
[Super Energy Storage Tank]
Dark Power: 1 unit (maximum 3000 units)
Note: After the user enters the type of energy they need, the system can generate and store a certain amount of energy each day.
Wei Huan silently calculated that his current Nether Power was 1640, which allowed him to infuse 1.5 Tier 3 Netherfire Bombs every day.
If this energy tank can generate 3,000 units of Nether Force per day, he can obtain three Netherfire Bombs every day.
This is just the initial use of the energy tank. Whether the energy tank can be used to replenish Wei Huan's Nether Power consumption, allowing him to recruit an extra 3,000 Nether Power undead every day, has not yet been tested.
In short, this Platinum Treasure Chest was well worth the effort, perfectly matching Wei Huan's assessment of its value.
Not only did they obtain high-level equipment and blueprints, but the two special items that dropped also have extremely high usability.
Even the actual effectiveness still needs to be verified through testing.
Regardless, the discovery of this treasure chest is enough to lift one's spirits.
Just as Wei Huan was feeling happy, a message popped up on his projected screen.
The "Platinum Agility Claw Gear" was redeemed by driver Xu Qingqiang for 500 DKP.
Wei Huan looked up and saw Xu Qingqiang, whose complexion had improved slightly, already holding the claw gloves in his hand and putting them on one finger at a time.
During this process, his fierce and twisted face, coupled with the sharp nails of his claws, made him look utterly perverted.
But Liu Chengzhi, standing to the side, was drooling with envy, saying, "Brother Qiang, what attributes does this equipment add? It looks so cool!"
"Agility" is the innate attribute of the [Gambler Sequence], but unfortunately, Liu Chengzhi has put all his talent points into cooking, so he is really lacking in combat ability.
He had just fought a platinum-level monster and didn't dare to make a move, and even if he dared to act recklessly, Wei Huan wouldn't let him go.
You can earn combat DKP as a chef, but don't overestimate your abilities.
"Hehehe..."
Xu Qingqiang had not fully recovered yet, and after getting the equipment he wanted, he laughed even more wildly.
Platinum-level equipment is so rare that an ordinary challenger may never have seen it in their lifetime.
Even though Qi Jialu has reached this level of power, she only has one platinum-level piece of equipment, which she bought at a high price and which doesn't quite suit her.
Xu Qingqiang originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could have a few pieces of gold-level equipment in his life.
He never expected that he would receive the platinum equipment that suited him on only the sixth day after he got into Wei Huan's car.
When he discovered that he had enough DKP to redeem the equipment, he was a little worried, afraid that Wei Huan wouldn't give it to him.
To his surprise, when he took out the equipment and put it on his wrist, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong simply looked at him with a smile in their eyes that he couldn't quite describe, as if they were happy for him.
This is
Platinum gear!!
With Blue Star, you could buy a medium-to-large company, and you just gave it to him like that?
He fiddled with the claws in his hands, his eyes like those of a wolf guarding its prey, but this ferocity gradually dissipated amidst the calm smiles of Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
For the first time since he had not eaten enough, his distorted gaze calmly returned to normal.
The demonic markings on his face also faded away.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Qingqiang said, "Killing a Platinum-level monster gives you a high DKP."
"Of course.?_[()]?'Come♂read the latest chapter♂complete chapter'()" Mu Zhong smiled, "Risk and reward will always be proportional. Just arm yourself well, and next time, we'll go fight a god-level monster."
Xu Qingqiang bared his teeth, not out of malice towards Mu Chong, but because the potential gains from the god-level monster had spurred his ferocity. He nodded hoarsely, "Okay."
Liu Chengzhi and Mu Tangge witnessed this scene, and they felt both envy and joy.
Their team is getting stronger and stronger, and even though they aren't the ones who reap the rewards, they are still genuinely happy.
Moreover, with the team implementing the DKP system so fairly, they will eventually be able to get a set of high-level equipment that they like.
Next, Xu Qingqiang ate a lot of meat, which barely healed his external injuries, and then he stopped eating.
He remained in the driver's seat, feigning sleep. Although he didn't speak, everyone knew he was keeping a close eye on the movements of the Dark Beast squad.
The situation is special tonight, so Mu Zhong and Wei Huan also stayed behind to take turns on duty in the driver's cab.
However, both of them entered the Temple of Professions to train and restore their combat power.
After fighting the Gold Monster, they fought the Platinum Monster, and both of them were quite exhausted.
We have another match to fight, so we need to conserve our energy.
The driver's cab was quiet; only Brother Mu was actually on duty.
He needed to maintain continuous contact with the army group while also keeping an eye on any potential accidents that might occur during the vehicle's journey.
Brother Mu is like an "old ox." He's not particularly outstanding in combat, and he's still learning and growing in housekeeping. But he's conscientious, hardworking, and willing to do these unremarkable and unambitious jobs.
Everyone gradually found their place.
Even Lin Xu and Zhou Yong, the two "burdens" that Xu Qingqiang brought along, knew they couldn't just coast along like this.
She got up at four in the morning to go downstairs and clean the house. After waiting for Liu Chengzhi to wake up, she followed him to the kitchen to help.
With the help of the two men, Liu Chengzhi was no longer so tired and even had time to go to the training room to work on his physical fitness and try to lose some weight.
He held a grudge against the term "fat thief."
Time flew by and it was already 5:30 in the morning.
It was time for the convoy to assemble and prepare to depart.
Some of those who witnessed Wei Huan leave stayed up all night, and after confirming that Wei Huan really hadn't returned, they were all a little panicked.
Like the unease of losing your umbrella on a cloudy day.
Wei Huan's existence has unknowingly become the "courage" of most people.
It was as if as long as Wei Huan was around, even if he did nothing, they were guaranteed to be safe.
Many people have forgotten that they originally...
Distrust and doubt about Wei Huan.
From allowing Peng Zheng to grow stronger by remaining silent, to demonstrating his strength to seize power, and finally easily defeating Peng Zheng, Wei Huan used these methods to easily gain command of the entire convoy.
Nearly 50,000 people followed Wei Huan's lead.
A 20-year-old, a college student who wasn't even a challenger a month ago, has become a qualified leader.
Sometimes when people talk about Wei Huan, they use a tone of astonishment and admiration.
"What was I doing when I was 20? Look at others, they've already gotten to this point."
...
"But why hasn't Wei Huan come back yet? Did he encounter something outside? And why did he leave in the first place?"
"I hope Wei Huan can come back soon. I feel uneasy without him."
Everyone eagerly awaited his return, but when dawn broke, Wei Huan still hadn't come back.
Someone in the chat room is asking a question.
But the tone was very tactful.
"Excuse me," "Can you," "Answer," "Thank you"...
Three days ago, if something similar had happened, the tone of the inquiry would have been questioning, or even tinged with insults and sarcasm.
But today, when Wei Huan is mentioned in the chat room, the wording becomes very cautious.
The other leaders also answered their questions.
[Military secret.]
It's better to be safe than sorry; who knows if there are any fools among the humans who might tip off the Dark Beasts?
Although the language barrier and different energy systems have placed the two sides on an absolute opposing side, don't underestimate the level of idiocy some humans can exhibit.
Take, for example, the "War Clan" that has been gradually exposed recently. Who would have thought that humans would do such a thing?
A single military secret silenced everyone.
They could only silently pray that Wei Huan would return soon, and that the Dark Beast Squad wouldn't come looking for them while Wei Huan was away.
Without Wei Huan around, advancing so brazenly like a target is truly terrifying!
Even the leader's car was unusually tense today.
The commander of the Mu family's fourth-level vehicle hadn't closed his eyes since Wei Huan left yesterday; his eyes were bloodshot from tension.
No one expected that the difference would be so great with or without Wei Huan.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of a leader's existence.
...
At six o'clock sharp, as dawn broke, Group A also set off.
Everyone has gotten used to waking up every day and being carried a distance by Qi Jialu.
But today, Qi Jialu didn't lead them on a flying trip. Instead, she had everyone maintain a speed of 500 km/h and drive forward.
Yesterday, in order to avoid the Dark Beast Squad, they took several detours, and the distance they traveled was less than half of what they had covered in the previous days.
This annoyed everyone.
Most importantly, there's the risk of unpredictable monsters jumping out from who-knows-where.
Unbeknownst to them, Qi Jialu's act of leading them into hiding meant that, psychologically, they had already accepted a disadvantage against the Dark Beast Squad.
Once you mentally admit defeat, it's hard to muster the courage to fight back, and you'll live in fear for a long time.
This morning was no different. The atmosphere in the convoy was very strange. These people followed Qi Jialu without saying a word, and they didn't speak in the chat room either.
I don't know
What can I say when I feel like I could die at any moment?
It wasn't until they saw a message in the chat room from Group B saying that Group B's leader, Che Weihuan, had left the team and hadn't returned all night, and they still hadn't seen him.
At the time, some people speculated, "Has Wei Huan come to help us?"
Others countered, "They left before dark yesterday afternoon. A Class IV vehicle can get here in a short time."
"I really wish he would come over and switch places with Sister Lu. It's not that Sister Lu is bad, it's just that I feel that if he comes over and wipes out the Dark Beast Squad, we can switch back."
"It's a good idea, but unfortunately... doing this would be a slap in the face to Sister Lu."
Qi Jialu in the car.
Just as everyone guessed, apart from Qi Jialu, all the men looked unwell.
Long Hao, in particular, looked at the latest news on the screen with a dark and cold expression, as if he wanted to devour someone.
[Wei Huan: We'll reach the area where the Dark Beast is in 10 minutes. Proceed slowly and maintain your direction.]
"Does that mean we're going to be used as bait?" After Long Hao came to this conclusion, the veins on his neck bulged out.
The group of crew members, who usually bicker and create chaos in the car, were unusually united with him in their hatred of the enemy.
Is he looking down on us?
"A mere squad of dark beasts, if we could capture them, we could easily wipe them out."
"Get him out of here, we don't need him."
"Who gave them the audacity to use us as bait?"
Inside the driver's cab, a group of arrogant and conceited individuals were roaring. Qi Jialu put on her headphones, trying to ignore them and calm her mind.
Fingers tap on the screen.
[Qi Jialu: Sure, do you want me to help?]
[Wei Huan: Whatever.]
[Qi Jialu: You're so confident! Well then, I'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Call me anytime if you need anything.]
No further message was received.
Qi Jialu slowly sipped her coffee, pretending not to hear the increasingly heated and impulsive words spoken by the group around her.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Qi Jialu didn't really have much confidence that she could keep that group of Dark Beasts.
Her abilities at Sequence Four make her more suited to be a support role.
However, the combat effectiveness of the crew members in her vehicle was not particularly outstanding.
Long Hao is the main combat force on the vehicle. Presumably because he was originally a world martial arts champion, his professional temple automatically evolved into "King of Soldiers Martial Arts Combat Skills", which is 30% more lethal than other King of Soldiers. If he is further aided by her time magic, he will have the ability to fight three people at once.
However, this was not enough for Long Hao to win the battle against the entire Dark Beast Squad.
The other people on the bus were all relatively ordinary professionals; it would be good if three or five of them could hold off a single dark beast.
Besides, the Dark Beast Squad wouldn't fight a hard battle with them. Lacking control over these beasts, they wouldn't be able to keep them here, and they'd be at risk of a lose-lose situation.
So this is why Qi Jialu agreed to let Wei Huan take action.
This isn't about saving face; it's about her genuine lack of ability. There's no need for her to put on a brave face.
Moreover, the fact that Wei Huan only notified them 10 minutes before his arrival shows that Wei Huan was determined to go.
Since that's the case, then the capable should do more; she doesn't care that Wei Huan is stronger than her.
Qi Jialu is an ambitious woman, but her ambition is not in the legion. She only wants to build her own great power in the challenge world and be a female overlord without restraint.
Therefore, Wei Huan, who was determined to join the legion, had no conflict with her in the slightest.
She even longed for the government to have a strong leader like Wei Huan, because only when they could hold up the sky could she live the life she wanted without any constraints.
Qi Jialu understood it very well.
Why did Wei Huan and I become enemies when we could have been friends?
Wouldn't a win-win situation be better?
Unfortunately, the men in her car looked extremely agitated.
Qi Jialu listened to the indistinct sounds coming from outside her earphones, blaming herself for being young and impetuous, and being blinded by all the temptations.
Next time the vehicles are upgraded, I'll definitely recruit some girls to help out, so these guys won't have nothing better to do than stare at me all day.
The feeling of being the center of attention, once experienced, is just another thing.
After a while, Qi Jialu suddenly spoke up: "Coordinates 329.9456, I'm going to go check it out, but be quiet."
The men who were still spouting nonsense all shut up and looked over.
"Lulu?" Long Hao frowned.
Qi Jialu smiled and pointed at him, "Go take a look, or you'll become a frog in a well."
Long Hao: "..."!
