Chapter 13: Honey Trap

Zhu Zhiquan saw the conditions were met and immediately chose to upgrade. A white light enveloped the Tricycle, and after a short while, the white light dissipated; the Tricycle's cargo bed was larger, and the railings on top were higher.

Name: Yunsongxing Tricycle v3

Maximum Speed: 20/h

Description: Possesses more space, is faster, and the structure is sturdier.

Upgrade Conditions: v1 electronic parts 15, metal 30, wood 30, Buli 80.

After upgrading the Tricycle, Zhu Zhiquan made a large quantity of Bangdai and listed them for sale at a price of two Buli each, then went beneath the Tricycle to start sleeping.

…………

"Ajiu~"

"Ajiu~"

"Ajiu, where are you?"

In the early morning, Zhao Yuxin's shouts spread throughout the entire desert. Zhu Zhiquan crawled out from under the Tricycle and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "I'm here."

Zhao Yuxin ran over following the sound. Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan was safe and sound, she let out a sigh of relief. "I finally found you! I didn't see a shadow of you the moment I woke up; I thought you'd been eaten by a wild beast!"

Zhu Zhiquan went to the driver's seat, preparing to drive. Zhao Yuxin suddenly asked, "By the way, when I got up, I checked the Tricycle upgrade conditions. This time it requires electronic parts. But no matter how I look on the Trading Channel, I can't find them, and there's no clue on the World Channel either."

Zhu Zhiquan guessed, "Maybe they don't exist at this stage."

"That makes sense." Afterward, Zhao Yuxin sent her own attribute panel to Zhu Zhiquan.

Name: Zhao Yuxin (Yangguang Xujie)

Constitution: 7 (23%)

Strength: 4 (20%)

Speed: 6 (77%)

Health: 100%

Talent: Bat Wing Ear

Profile: This lazybones seems to have broken the habit of oversleeping, though her lopsided skills are still a bit serious!

"Ajiu, don't you believe what's in this profile; I'm actually very diligent!" Zhao Yuxin subconsciously bit her lip.

In fact, she knew clearly that she hadn't broken the habit of oversleeping, but rather it was because the sun was too intense. The cargo bed had nothing to block the sunlight, causing it to be incredibly scorching; otherwise, why would you think she got up early?

Zhu Zhiquan had no interest in whether what she said was true or false, so he also sent his own attribute panel to her.

Name: Zhu Zhiquan

Constitution: 7 (68%)

Strength: 8 (6%)

Speed: 8 (37%)

Health: 100%

Talent: Boiling Blood

Profile: Congratulations, you have reached the peak of your physical strength from when you practiced Muay Thai, and your strength and speed have already surpassed your peak state.

"Little brother and little sister over there, could you come over and do me a favor?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came over.

Zhao Yuxin judged based on the surrounding echoes, "Ajiu, be careful, this is a honey trap! Her teammates are hiding under that sand dune!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan increased the speed of pedaling, and the Tricycle's speed instantly reached its maximum.

That woman revealed a look of terror and hurriedly jumped off her own Tricycle.

Boom!

The woman's Tricycle was knocked off the road, and the cargo bed was also deformed from the impact. "Scared the life out of me! Good thing I reacted quickly, or I would have been killed by this dog thief!" The woman panted heavily, still shaken.

At this time, her teammate walked out from under the sand dune, "Sister, why didn't you activate the shield?"

The woman looked annoyed, "How could I have had time to activate it? This kid's Tricycle is too fast! It's clearly not an ordinary Tricycle! It's very likely a v3!"

The man chuckled, "No matter, no matter what level their Tricycle is, I can catch up! Sister, let's get on the vehicle together and get our own back!"

Having said that, the two jumped onto the Tricycle together. The man used his talent in the driver's seat, and the next second, they and their Tricycle arrived at the front left of Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle.

The moment they landed, the man pedaled hard to ram into Zhu Zhiquan's Tricycle. Zhu Zhiquan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly turned the handlebars all the way to the right while simultaneously pedaling violently.

The Tricycle swerved sharply, barely dodging the collision. But because the movement was too large, Zhao Yuxin almost fell out of the cargo bed; fortunately, she grabbed the railing in time. At the same time, some supplies were thrown off the vehicle.

After both sides came to a steady stop, Zhao Yuxin scolded, "What are you doing! Are you sick?"

"Doing what? Hmph, I should be the one asking why your teammate rammed me?" the woman said disdainfully.

Zhao Yuxin was so angry she put her hands on her hips, "It was clearly you who started a honey trap to harm us, and we only accidentally hit you while trying to dodge legitimately. Now you're the ones accusing us first!"

The woman sneered, "Who can prove what you're saying is true? I think it was you who intentionally rammed us, wanting to rob our supplies."

The man also chimed in from the side, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the supplies, or you'll have a hard time."

"You..." Zhao Yuxin had only finished one word when Zhu Zhiquan had already pedaled hard to ram the opponent again. The opponent did not show weakness and also followed by pedaling hard.

Boom!

This time, Zhao Yuxin and the others' Tricycle was knocked off the road but did not flip, while the opponent's Tricycle was left sideways on the road, and an extra layer of earth-colored shell had appeared on their Tricycle.

"Hahaha~ You didn't think we were unprepared, did you!" The woman mocked Zhu Zhiquan and the others for overestimating their capabilities. Zhao Yuxin frowned, not knowing what to do.

Zhu Zhiquan observed carefully and discovered that only the opponent's vehicle had a shell covering it, but the people themselves did not. After that, he thought of something and immediately said to Zhao Yuxin, "Azhao, prepare to hand me a Dagger Spear."

Zhao Yuxin held the Dagger Spear, keeping only a railing's distance from Zhu Zhiquan, and whispered close to his ear, "Be careful, don't get hurt."

Zhu Zhiquan took the Dagger Spear and reminded Zhao Yuxin to hold on tight, then pedaled toward the opponent again.

"Hmph! Seeking death!" The man let out a cold snort and pedaled violently to collide with Zhu Zhiquan.

Just as the two Tricycles were about to collide, Zhu Zhiquan leaped up suddenly, jumping over the man's head to stab at the woman in the cargo bed.

Puchi~

Boom!

The woman clutched her abdomen and looked at Zhu Zhiquan with a face full of shock, while at the same time, their Tricycle was knocked off the road again; after coming to a steady stop, the man turned his head to look, his face first showing surprise and then anger.

"Sister!" the man shouted silently; Zhu Zhiquan pulled out the Dagger Spear, spun it in a flourish, and looked at the man with a gaze of contempt.

The man ignored Zhu Zhiquan's gaze and appeared out of thin air behind his sister.

"Sister, sister, how are you?" the man placed his sister on the ground and covered her wound, hoping to delay the time it would take for the Grim Reaper to take her away.

But he overlooked one very important thing, which was that he had not put any distance between himself and Zhu Zhiquan.

"Bro, brother..." the woman raised her hand to touch her brother's face, her eyes filled with despair.

"Sister, don't speak, you'll be fine! You'll definitely be fine!"

"The road ahead... you... must walk... alone..." Before she could finish her words, the woman's hand dropped abruptly, and her eyes closed.

"No! Argh..." the man was looking up to the sky and wailing when Zhu Zhiquan stabbed a spear into his spine.

Zhu Zhiquan first gripped the front end with one hand and pressed the tail end with the other, then exerted force to press down, and the Dagger Spear followed his spine, carving a gash across his back.

The man collapsed to the ground with a boom, "Sister... I didn't think I would... come to join you so soon..." After saying this, the man's head tilted to the side and he died.
