The Nagasaki commander looked up sharply and heard him say, word by word, "My son is in the same district as him, and I can always observe the changes in his scores on various leaderboards. It can be confirmed that after leaving the secondary highway, he obtained a high-value piece of equipment, which increased his personal combat power by more than 600 points in a short period of time."
"What divine equipment?"
"Mofidi's pseudo-demon gear comes from the Mofidi Demon Ruins on the first-class highway. His current gear score has reached the top 100 in the world."
It's another set of equipment from a demon god, and coupled with his ranking in the top 100 in the world, it's enough to deduce just how good Wei Huan's equipment is.
This also corroborates the boost he received from obtaining the Platinum Chest.
The world's top 100 fighting power rankings!
Only two challengers from the entire Mulberry Kingdom made it into the top 100, one of whom was the Guardian General, whose excellent equipment was acquired through the collective efforts of the entire nation.
How can a newbie who has only been in the Challenge World for a month get such good equipment?
This thought suddenly burst into my mind, and I couldn't suppress it no matter what I did.
Even though he knew that Wei Huan would become a key protected figure in the Great Xia Dynasty, his greed swelled to an unbearable degree in an instant.
The Nagasaki commander looked up at Ishigaki Kyo and suddenly asked out of the blue, "How is your son?"
His main purpose was to warn Shi Hengchuanjing not to be so clever, and he was even more disgusted that he was being used as a pawn. Did he think he didn't know that his son had been crippled in Daxia and was now a useless person who couldn't even take care of himself?
But the next second, Shi Hengchuanjing knelt down with a thud, staring at the Nagasaki Chief and said, "My son has been crippled. Even if the Angel of Life intervenes and heals his hands and feet, his shattered spine will never heal."
"I can abandon him..." He said, his expression filled with resentment and unwillingness, "But whether for public or private reasons, Wei Huan is worth taking down. His death would ease the pain in my heart. So I've come today to seek Lord Nagasaki's approval. Even if it completely offends the Northeast Army, I will eliminate Wei Huan."
Hearing this, the Nagasaki commander's expression softened, and a genuine sense of sympathy appeared in his eyes: "It's pitiful that you have such a deep father-son bond. Alright, this Wei Huan is indeed worth taking action against. Be discreet, and make sure the artifact is sent back to the country. If we have it, along with the one in the hands of the Protector General, we might have a chance to compete for the top prize at the Grand Ceremony by the end of this year."
"Yes!" Shi Hengchuan's eyes flashed with light, and when he came out of the office, he was filled with murderous aura.
The Nagasaki commander watched his figure disappear, then looked down at the documents in his hand.
This Wei Huan will definitely become a great general of the Great Xia in the future, but that future is too far away.
Instead of betting that a genius won't fall from grace, or that he will definitely succeed, it's better to bet that once these tools are in your hands, they will be of greater use.
Thinking this, his greed was concealed in the blink of an eye, and his expression returned to normal.
On the other side, Shi Hengchuanjing, who had just gotten into the car, had just put down his phone, a hint of relief in his eyes.
He had just checked Wei Huan's ranking changes again. In one day, Wei Huan's points rose from 12736 to 13416, an increase of 680 points.
The fact that Wei Huan could gain such a score in a day indicates that he went to the random challenge, which is in line with the usual practice of the Great Xia Dynasty. True gold is not afraid of being tested by fire, and geniuses must be sent to different battlefields to hone their skills. The random challenge is the best touchstone among them.
But it is precisely because Wei Huan was able to get 680 points in a random challenge that it is particularly terrifying.
With 680 points and 68 city lords, even if they are all first-tier lord territories, the siege will only be more difficult without vehicles on the human side.
Wei Huan's ability to achieve such results in a single day will make Da Xia pay more attention to him, and at the same time... it will also make the Nagasaki Chief of Staff wary.
The International Challengers Alliance does have one bottom line that cannot be crossed: it cannot do anything that truly impacts the interdimensional war between civilizations.
This includes not taking action against the other party's genius.
The only problem is that the definition of "genius" is too difficult to define, and as long as one does things cleanly and doesn't get caught, it's always possible to achieve it.
Moreover, with the military situation so tense at the front, even if we find evidence, what good will it do? Aside from receiving some supplies and compensation, are we really going to start a war?
That's what truly impacts the war between interdimensional civilizations.
However, for each country and entity, the key question is whether or not to take action, and what the consequences would be if they did, lies in whether the value is sufficient.
Shi Hengchuan Jing exaggerated Wei Huan's value, and the price of taking him down was written in his book. The data between the lines was true, but it was full of traps, all in order to tilt the scales in the mind of the Nagasaki Chief of Staff and make him choose the side that was in his favor.
He wanted to avenge his son.
No one can understand the rage a father feels when he sees his beloved son appear before him like a human pig, a sight that makes him want to bury the whole world with him.
Shi Heng can die, like a hero dying on the battlefield, but he cannot be humiliated like this, living a life worse than death, becoming a laughingstock for everyone.
We must kill Wei Huan to quell his anger!
...
In the blink of an eye, Wei Huan had been on the Challenge World for seven days.
The lord battles are going more and more smoothly.
Although everyone, including the Dark Beast Lord, is constantly growing, no one's growth rate is as fast as Wei Huan's, nor is it as specific as Wei Huan's.
At first, he could only summon a group of scattered soldiers, but by the first day, he had 24 more Shura.
Seven days later, the number of heads in the Roman Empire reached 300.
Xu Qingqiang took away a total of 150 Shura heads, including the original ones. Combined with his own combat power, in every battle, they were like an incomparably sharp black broadsword, easily dividing a level-one territory in half.
Even if the Dark Beast Lords join forces, he can still take down a territory before they can react.
The remaining territory was just a dish he could harvest.
Wei Huan left behind a small number of spirits because Mu Zhong was with him.
With Mu Zhong's current state, he doesn't need such a large army of undead to accomplish the same task.
When necessary, there is also a thirst for blood.
Conquering territories has become easy, just like endlessly "farming points".
Of course, it's not boring at all.
Just thinking about the resources that these points can be exchanged for, and then remembering that these points are obtained by exchanging the heads of dark beasts...
Then I was genuinely happy.
Every dark beast lord killed here may well be the blood that human warriors of Blue Star will shed in the future.
Congratulations to Wei Huan's racing team...
[Gained 10 points...]
Taking advantage of the bright daylight, Liu Chengzhi was preparing dinner. While busy at the stove, his face glistening with oil, he muttered, "10 points, 10 points, merit added~"
Less than five seconds later, another new notification arrived.
Congratulations to Wei Huan's racing team...
[Gained 10 points...]
These were two small teams that almost simultaneously leveled a Dark Beast territory.
Throughout the day, you could see news like this every now and then; it was almost like a competition.
It's one thing that Qiang Ge is childish, but I never expected the boss to be just as childish in secret!!
Then, he habitually looked at the message that would always pop up next.
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Next stage: 561br1000 mission points, reward: 1 Golden Treasure Chest]
In the blink of an eye, they had already accumulated 5600 points, and were less than half of the mission points needed to obtain the golden treasure chest.
Although this is not as efficient as the "legend" that the leader created when he was a novice.
After all, they had so many people; they should have been faster.
But the reason why a "myth" is a "myth" is because it is unreplicable. Not to mention others, even the leader himself cannot replicate it.
So even with this kind of efficiency in accumulating points, Liu Chengzhi was extremely satisfied.
At least for now, not to mention exchanging for other things, these points alone are enough for everyone in the car to complete the material purchase for upgrading from level three to level four.
Can other cars achieve this? Only their leader could lead the team to such results in just one week!
Just as Liu Chengzhi was secretly pleased with himself, a new notification popped up again.
Congratulations to Wei Huan's racing team...
[Gained 10 points...]
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Next stage: 562br1000 mission points, reward: 1 Golden Treasure Chest]
"???" Liu Chengzhi was puzzled. The speed at which they conquered the territory was illogical. There were only two teams, so it was impossible for them to conquer a third territory so quickly.
Even if you have overwhelming strength, you still need time to travel, right?
Liu Chengzhi kept working, but had already shifted his gaze to the distant battlefield.
As an important member of the logistics department, he was surrounded by the undead from the beginning, well protected in the back, far from the battlefield and only able to vaguely see the smoke of gunpowder.
Although each time a territory is flattened, the Crypt Beast Mother Beast will carry him to continue moving forward.
However, he remained isolated from the battle and could not see what was happening ahead.
Even lunch was delivered to the various battlefields using the kobolds' special abilities.
He hadn't been informed of the war's progress for almost a day.
However, looking at the time, everyone will be gathered together in a little while, and he will also receive the war news for the day.
Six seconds later, the notification came again.
...
[Next stage: 563br1000...]
One minute later.
...
[Next stage: 564br1000...]
Three minutes later.
...
[Next stage: 565br1000...]
[Next stage: 566br1000...]
[Next stage: 567br1000...]
After receiving three kill notifications in a row, Liu Chengzhi, who was already losing his composure, became completely anxious.
What's going on?
Has this stirred up a hornet's nest? Or has it launched a full-scale attack? Have these dark beast lords decided to walk right into the line of fire?
Because they didn't understand, they were even more anxious, scratching their heads and wishing they could drop what they were doing and rush out.
Someone please come and tell him what's going on.
He's about to explode!
...
[Next stage: 568br1000...]
[Next stage: 569br1000...]
[Next stage: 570br1000...]
Looking at the battlefield raging ahead, even though their territory had not yet been destroyed, these kill notifications clearly told them that something unusual had happened.
"Why have these dark beasts gathered together again?" Mu Zhong said, but continued to use his abilities.
The sudden and fierce resistance made the battle tense, and he had to start casting various blessings on each of the undead army that resurrected and charged into the Dark Beast territory again.
The situation was urgent, and they were forced into a war of attrition before they even had time to understand the enemy's situation.
And judging from the current situation, this battle is far from over.
"The territory opposite them clearly only appears to be at the third tier." Mu Zhong felt the pressure and had to say, "Just to be on the safe side, I suggest calling Xu Qingqiang back."
Wei Huan had one green eye and stared solemnly into the void.
Looking down at the changes in his territory, he said, "No need, it'll be over soon."
Mu Zhong asked, puzzled, "This is the territory of a high-level dark beast, isn't it?"
Wei Huan nodded: "Yes, the territory of a two-headed hidden demon."
Mu Zhong was deeply wary of the two-headed demon's ability to launch sneak attacks. Upon hearing this, he glanced around and then looked at his cousin, Mu: "Come closer and protect yourself."
Mu Tangge is a real soldier. Here, in addition to serving as the head of internal affairs, he will also be responsible for tasks such as intelligence gathering, analysis, and communication during the war.
In addition, he also arranged for himself to be the security guard for Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, the two "fragile guys in the back row".
Of course, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's extraordinary qualities are their trump card.
Mu Tangge didn't know that the two of them... especially Wei Huan, had physical attributes comparable to a fourth-tier soldier king, and could easily tear apart a third-tier two-headed hidden demon with their bare hands.
Mu's cousin was called over by Mu Zhong, and he warily shielded the two of them behind him.
The three pieces of equipment he conjured were all items belonging to a security personnel, not combat personnel.
Therefore, the large shield in his hand, along with an electromagnetic radar device with a range of 10 meters, were enough for him to detect the attacking dark beasts immediately and block their attacks.
That's not the intention.
Si Muzhong, watching his cousin's actions, was speechless.
He thought for a moment, but didn't stop them. Instead, he continued his analysis with Wei Huan: "So, was it our excessive killing that caused the dark beasts to enter some kind of swarm mechanism, or does the Two-Headed Hidden Demon just like to do this kind of thing?"
Wei Huan didn't speak. He had almost lost sight of the target when the two-headed demon entered its mimicry state, and now he needed to concentrate fully.
Moreover, there are currently Dark Beast Lords and Hero units mixed together in the territory. The former are for points, while the latter are key to conquering this territory. He must make good use of his troop deployment to achieve greater results.
Even saving a single life is a form of command art.
Wei Huan was unaware that he was unknowingly walking the path to becoming a true leader through the characteristics of his duties.
He is rapidly developing into a qualified battlefield commander.
Mu Zhong received no answer. After his imagination ran wild, he could only turn to his cousin and said, "Until now, in any battlefield between humans and dark beasts, there has never been a situation where humans unilaterally slaughtered a large number of dark beasts. So no one knows whether dark beasts will activate the swarm mechanism when they encounter this situation, just like when the queen bee is in danger, she will instinctively summon the surrounding dark beasts to her aid."
Since Mu Tangge's job included analyzing intelligence, he also said, "There are indeed no reports or studies on this. The number of dark beasts is thirty times that of humans, but the vast majority are just low-intelligence beasts, and they are food for high-level dark beasts."
Therefore, our killing of lower-level dark beasts may not be the reason for their gathering. I personally believe that our route was already known to the dark beasts, and that this two-headed hidden demon only called for reinforcements after confirming our path.
Mu nodded: "In short, it's almost certain that the two-headed hidden demon possesses a swarm mechanism, after all, this is the first case we've encountered."
After a pause, Mu Zhong's expression was complicated: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
Mu Tangge sighed, "If it's confirmed that this is an ability possessed by all high-level dark beasts, it means that so far in the war, our frontline army has not posed a real threat to the dark beasts. However, from another perspective, this mechanism is very advantageous to us right now."
"That's right." Mu Zhong laughed as he said this. "Another one killed. The joy of mass killing has finally arrived. I even hope there are more Twin-Headed Hidden Demons the better."
Mu Tangge laughed too: "Yes, suddenly I'm a little reluctant to kill it."
Wei Huan suddenly looked over, his two eyes, one black and one green, staring straight at Mu Cousin. Mu Cousin's expression turned serious as he repeatedly recalled where he had gone wrong with what he had just said.
Wei Huan said, "I think so too, it's a pity he's dying soon."
Mu's cousin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As Wei Huan finished speaking, a new notification appeared.
Congratulations to Wei Huan's racing team...
[Gained 10 points...]
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Next stage: 571br1000 mission points, reward: 1 Golden Treasure Chest]
After the Lord's Core was destroyed, the jagged city walls in front were completely reduced to ruins, the watchtowers collapsed, and the heroes and peasants were recycled by the challenge world and disappeared into the depths of the black hole.
In the ruins, three recruited dark beast lords, exhausted from their struggle, remained, being torn apart by the undead.
Soon, the three dark beast lords were reduced to cold, hard numbers in the system notification.
[Next stage: 574br1000...]
The latest chapter of "Highway Survival: A God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" by Jingzhou Xiaoyao is first updated online. Visit [website address] to read the latest chapter.
Just then, Xu Qingqiang, who was also shocked by the system notification, rushed over with his team.
He asked from a distance, "What's wrong?"
Wei Huan looked at him and said, "Go back to the rear and talk slowly."
"Now tell me." Xu Qingqiang jumped onto the back of the seven- or eight-meter-high underground beast mother and came to Wei Huan. The demonic markings on his neck had not completely faded. "I can't eat dinner properly if I don't tell you."
Mu Zhong then smiled and said, "Come, let me tell you."
Back at the rear, Liu Chengzhi had already prepared dinner, which was placed on the shell of the cave beast. Everyone gathered around and chatted about the day's events.
This kind of conversation while eating isn't a formal operational meeting, but it's more relaxed and fosters a true sense of team spirit.
Even in front of Wei Huan, everyone became more and more comfortable with each other.
After listening, Liu Chengzhi, finally satisfied with his curiosity, excitedly said, "If this continues, won't we be able to rack up a lot of points before we leave? Is it possible to get a platinum treasure chest? Or... a diamond?"
When the platinum treasure chest was mentioned, Liu Chengzhi's nostrils flared up, not to mention that when he actually said the word "diamond," his face couldn't help but beam with joy.
Even after witnessing grand scenes with Boss Wei, he still couldn't remain calm when faced with treasure chests of silver rank or higher.
The value of the Platinum Chest is always extremely high. Many people have been challenging it for seven years, and they have never even seen a Platinum Chest or Platinum equipment within a kilometer of them, let alone seen one.
The value of high-level treasure chests will not decrease as the road level increases; they will only become more difficult to open and thus more valuable.
Liu Chengzhi's fantasy stimulated everyone to look forward, and even Wei Huan couldn't help but think that if there was enough time, the diamond treasure chest might not be out of the question.
It's just time... what I lack most is time.
The "Ancient Battlefield" will open in four days. I won't be able to make it this time, but I still hope that my rebirth can bring a different ending than my previous life, allowing the humans of Blue Star to win, the Northeast Army to stand firm, and then expand such victories to the larger battlefield, further reversing the inevitable defeat of humanity.
There are also the things about the Northeast Army Corps, catching the corrupt officials, killing those who harmed Mu Zhong to avenge him, and Chang Le, Huang Jun and others are also waiting to join his ranks, and so on, until they catch up with the main force and stand on the front line of humanity's fight against the Dark Beasts.
In addition, there's the collection of "Mofidi False God" equipment, the need to quickly upgrade the professional level to level four, and the search for the technological ruins to help Mu Zhong train the pilot sequence so that he can stand up as soon as possible... These are all things that need to be done.
It's impossible for him to focus solely on "farming equipment" in one place.
Thinking this, Wei Huan had to interrupt everyone's wonderful daydream.
"We'll stay here for three more days at most, then we'll leave." Before anyone could ask why, he explained directly, "The ancient battlefield on the Level 5 highway will open in three days."
Many people only realized this after it was mentioned.
"The Ancient Battlefield is the opening battle after the fifth-level world is opened."
"I've heard that every time a new world is opened, there will be..."
The opening match.
"The outcome of the opening battle will affect real land resources. In the past four opening battles, we won two and lost two. When the land on Earth that was taken away returned, it was very barren. However, we also frantically mined resources from the rewarded land. These resources are completely absent on Earth, but they are important materials for making replicas in the challenge world." This was said by Brother Mu, whose professional knowledge was very solid.
Xu Qingqiang and his two companions, along with Liu Chengzhi, were academic underachievers. Before entering the Challenge World, the former didn't even have many opportunities to go to school, and the knowledge they possessed consisted only of the basic science popularization provided to the common people of Daxia.
Therefore, there is insufficient understanding of this so-called "opening battle" and the consequences of the rewards and punishments in the opening battle.
All they knew was that if humanity won the opening match, great; if they lost, terrible.
However, Xu Qingqiang also had his own thoughts, saying, "We can't help with the opening match even if we go back. It's not worth it just to watch a live broadcast. Instead of setting a time, we should set a standard. I think the standard for the Diamond Treasure Chest is very good."
Wei Huan then looked at the others. Some clearly agreed with Xu Qingqiang's idea, while others just looked at him, waiting for his decision.
When Wei Huan was in charge of the lead car, it was because there were too many people, and most of them would take advantage of you if you were polite and courteous. So only by being firm and not giving them a choice could he lead such a large convoy to the finish line.
However, within his small team, Wei Huan hoped to gather diverse opinions, at least some of whom could offer him different perspectives, preventing him from inadvertently going down a dead end.
Faced with this situation, Wei Huan nodded: "Is that what everyone thinks too?"
