Chapter 33: The First "Competition" Game – "Extreme Speed"
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: I admire no one but Princess Sister.
[C6]: Cough, this involves Princess Sister's privacy, so I can't say.
[The Runaway Mermaid]: Keeping you in suspense
[I'll bury you in money]: Keeping people in suspense
[Just a passerby]: Keeping people in suspense
[A glass of iced Americano]: Holy crap, I ran into a ghost!
[A glass of iced Americano]: You probably don't know, this ghost is a wandering merchant! Wow, so many good things!
Pei Hening breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that C6 had no intention of exposing their privacy.
But a wandering merchant?
That little ghost?
It does indeed have quite a few good things.
She did want to see that little ghost again.
She gathered her thoughts and prepared to message Chu Xuange to inquire about his situation.
He called.
Pei Hening asked, "Is everything settled?"
Chu Xuange's drawn-out voice made her ears itch. "Of course, baby, are you doubting my abilities?"
"Weren't you out there walking the pursuit team? How come you have time to look at the chat channel?"
"I don't look at it, it's 001 that's looking at it. I've made it focus on information related to you, as well as the acquisition of affiliated props."
Pei Hening sighed and asked the question she was most worried about: "What will happen to your sin points?"
Chu Xuange prepared dinner and delivered it over, explaining earnestly, "After killing red-named or wanted players, you can choose to reduce the corresponding sin value or receive the bounty reward. I still have some sin value to use. Players with high sin values may enter the Sin City, and I have to go in."
Vice City is another special large city besides the main city of wanderers. The sin value of the beings living in Vice City exceeds 100,000, and there are even lawbreakers. They are not to be trifled with.
Vice City doesn't follow the fair and just rules of road survival; it's all about strength. Chaos, disorder, struggle, and death are commonplace in Vice City.
Chu Xuange was going inside to retrieve something and, incidentally, acquire two professions—"Professional Assassin" and "Freelancer."
With these two professions, he could freely enter the main city of wanderers, making many things much easier.
[Good evening, this is 999. The 999 section will launch its first "competition" game, "Extreme Racing," tomorrow morning at 6 AM. At that time, the system will form teams of 30 players, and each team will race on a track that includes curves, straightaways, and slopes.]
[To allow players to focus on the game, tomorrow's target mileage has been cancelled.]
[The track is dangerous. Please maintain your speed while paying attention to safety.]
[Group rankings 1-10 receive generous rewards; rankings 11-20 receive no reward or penalty; rankings 21-27 have their chest-clearing attempts halved for 7 days; rankings 28-30 are eliminated.]
[999 wishes everyone the best of luck in winning the championship!]
The system notification ended, but the players' hearts were still unsettled!
Pei Hening sensed obvious malice.
Chu Xuange said, "I gave you a vehicle protection card and a vehicle repair card. The scooter is a level 3 vehicle, and you have 002 assisting with driving, so tomorrow's 'Extreme Speed' will be fine. Just be careful of other players trying to sabotage you. Now check how much battery power is left. Replace the battery if necessary, don't wait until tomorrow, it will waste a lot of time."
Pei Hening checked the little sheep's battery level and found that it was only 10% charged, so he replaced it with a new one.
Chu Xuange comforted her, "Wife, don't be afraid."
Pei Hening relaxed a little: "I have plenty of props on hand, so tomorrow's game will definitely be fine."
Chat channel.
[Just a passerby]: Three out of every thirty players will die? The death rate is as high as one in ten!
[Spicy and Sour Lemon Duck]: Vicious, this is too vicious.
[Creamy Mushroom Crispy Tart]: This game is so vicious, it's practically rife with cannibalism!
[Lemon Yozi]: You stupid game, I'm not staying up all night to mess around with you!
[Lamb of Desperation]: We've only been in this damn game for eleven days! They really want us to die!
[Shark Ten Years]: Annoying.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: Isn't this elimination mechanism too harsh?
[The Runaway Mermaid]: I'm speechless! You damn game, I'm going to sue you for human trafficking!
[Old Invisible Man]: Everyone, calm down.
[I'll bury you in money]: Dead fish, don't die, or I'll get so bored.
[The Runaway Mermaid]: I knew that Brother Qianqian loved me the most~ Come here for a kiss~ Mwah mwah mwah~.
[I can bury you in money]:...
[I'll bury you in money]: That's disgusting, you should just die.
[C6]: I only have one life, why does everyone want it?
[Young Master laughed again]: Does that mean that thousands of players will die after the competition ends tomorrow?
[Spicy strips with steamed buns]: This is not going to let us lie down.
[Sad Frog]: This is boring, friends. I'm deleting my account and quitting. Hope you have fun.
[Sad Frog]: "Red Envelope"
[Young Master laughed again]: @SadFrog Don't be impulsive, calm down!
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: @Sad Frog, don't give up!
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: His profile picture is grayed out.
The chat channel fell silent for a moment, the players' moods heavy.
Pei Hening also felt uneasy.
[DibiDibi]: If you die now, you're really dead. If you participate in the dungeon, there's a 90% chance of survival. Don't get emotional.
[Drip Ratio]: Check battery level and fuel level, and repair the vehicle.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: @DibiDibi, you're so calm, I love you so much. Everyone, stop arguing and go get ready.
[I'm freezing]: Please, stop being so negative, I can't even stay submerged anymore.
[Old Invisible Man]: Everyone, get some rest. We have to participate in a dungeon tomorrow.
Pei Hening had said everything she needed to say and didn't want to continue reading the pessimistic comments in the chat channel, so she took out the Sweet Dreams Bed, washed up, and lay down on it.
She winked at Chu Xuange: "Gege, you should get some rest too. Don't stay up late tonight, we have a dungeon to run tomorrow~"
Chu Xuange watched her movements and said gently, "I know, darling, get some rest."
——
No matter how unwilling the players were, the 12th day of road survival arrived on time.
At 6:00 sharp, all the players disappeared from the road and appeared at the entrance of a race track.
Pei Hening was positioned in the very middle of the track, with a red van to his left and a truck to his right.
The driver of the van was a young man with dyed blond hair. He looked tense, his eyes filled with vigilance as he watched the people around him. His hands were tightly on the steering wheel, as if he was ready to sprint at any moment.
The player driving the truck was a pretty girl in a white dress. She was eating a steamed bun and holding a carton of milk. She seemed relaxed and not frightened by the one in ten mortality rate.
She saw Pei Hening look her over and then give her a friendly smile.
