Chapter 225: The Night's Battle (Part 7)

Zhao Yuxin waited patiently on the spot for fifteen minutes before she woke him up.

Luo Jinrui opened his eyes groggily, and upon realizing it was Zhao Yuxin, he asked slowly, "Did I oversleep?"

Zhao Yuxin stuck out her tongue and said, "Not at all. There are players approaching us right now; if there are two of them, we'll split them fifty-fifty."

Luo Jinrui agreed quickly, and Zhao Yuxin returned to her own Tricycle to adjust the vehicle's direction. Luo Jinrui drove his Tricycle alongside Zhao Yuxin's and opened the Map Channel to check the players' distance.

While the players hadn't arrived yet, Zhao Yuxin poked her head out and asked, "Little Ruirui, have you been driving like this all night?"

Luo Jinrui: "Yeah, if the cost of logging out wasn't so high, I would have chosen to commit suicide with my brother long ago."

Zhao Yuxin: "That's true~ Losing all our blueprints and half our supplies would basically cost us half our lives!"

Luo Jinrui: "Who's to say it wouldn't? Every one of these blueprints and supplies was something we risked our lives to get. I don't know what this damn system is trying to do day after day!"

Zhao Yuxin: "Speaking of which, what's going on with your brother? He hasn't woken up for so long."

"My brother used a forbidden technique in the previous world, which is why he still hasn't woken up."

"Is that so? What's that skill called? What are its specific effects?"

"I don't know what it's called, but I can tell you clearly: once that thing is unleashed, no player at the current stage can withstand it!"

"Really? Keep bragging."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, our prey is almost here, so get ready quickly."

"Alrighty~" Zhao Yuxin stopped chatting and focused her entire being on the upcoming battle.

Soon, their opponents drove over slowly. Under the illumination of the headlights, one could see a Tricycle covered in Spikes speeding toward them.

"Let me go first!" Zhao Yuxin said as she stepped on the accelerator to collide with the opponent.

Boom!

The two Tricycles crashed into each other, their Spikes interlocking like two horned dragons wrestling.

Luo Jinrui wanted to drive to the side to ram the opponent, but the other vehicle was like a hedgehog, covered in Spikes of various sizes; if he crashed into it, wouldn't his own vehicle end up full of holes?

"Forget it, I'll provide fire support instead." Luo Jinrui immediately fiddled with things inside his vehicle, and a mechanical arm instantly extended from the cabin.

The mechanical arm was holding a giant grenade, likely the kind specifically designed to deal with tanks; just by looking at it, one could tell its power was not small.

Suddenly, all the Spikes on the opponent's Tricycle were launched. For a moment, a dense barrage of Spikes struck their vehicles with a pattering sound.

After the loud noise, Luo Jinrui's vehicle was stuck full of Spikes of various sizes.

"Wow, that was dangerous. Luckily our vehicle has the Guardian Goddess Statue, otherwise it definitely would have ended up like this!" Zhao Yuxin muttered, already gripping a Plant Transport Bag in her hand.

"Be careful!" Luo Jinrui saw the Spikes on the opponent's vehicle emerging again and shouted as he used his talent.

A light shield appeared in front of him, blocking the space between Luo Jinrui's and the opponent's vehicles.

Luo Jinrui didn't need to remind her; Zhao Yuxin had already noticed the opponent's move. She immediately opened the Plant Transport Bag in her hand, and the Lock-Hook Tree Demon emerged through the opening and quickly threw out its Vines.

These Vines hooked under the opponent's vehicle, and then, with a heavy swing from the Lock-Hook Tree Demon, the opponent's Tricycle spun twice in the air before crashing to the ground upside down.

However, this still didn't stop the opponent's Tricycle from firing Spikes, and countless Spikes covered the surrounding area.

Zhao Yuxin quickly retracted the Lock-Hook Tree Demon and released a Durian Warrior, which braved the numerous Spike attacks to rush to the vehicle's chassis and cut a hole with a Wave Energy Scimitar.

"Bring them out." At Zhao Yuxin's command, the Durian Warrior jumped into the vehicle and threw out one of the players who hadn't woken up yet.

The player in the driver's seat knew the situation was hopeless and jumped out of the Tricycle, prepared to fight to the death, but as soon as they emerged, they were bound by a blue iron chain.

This player tried to struggle, but a sense of powerlessness flooded their brain. This made them immediately realize the danger, and they hurriedly bit their tongue to keep themselves awake.

Afterward, they turned their head to look at where the chain extended from, but as soon as they turned, they felt something pierce through their forehead.

As their body began to dissipate into white light, the player clearly saw a blue iron chain extending from Luo Jinrui's body, and one of his hands reaching out of the window; he had been holding something that now appeared to have been thrown.

Seeing that Luo Jinrui had finished off one, Zhao Yuxin had her Durian Warrior kill the other player.

After killing this pair of players, Zhao Yuxin and Luo Jinrui split the dropped items equally and continued to look for the next unlucky soul.

The two cooperated to take down several more groups of players. During this time, Luo Jinrui almost caused a major traffic accident due to severe fatigue, so Zhao Yuxin gave him some fruit.

Name: Joy Fruit

Quality: Blue

Description: This is a fruit created by the player Zhao Yuxin. If you feel exhausted or are overwhelmed by negative emotions, then you must consume this fruit! It will keep you excited for two hours, during which you may laugh for no reason.

{Note: This fruit is ineffective on organisms with a Constitution exceeding 30 points. }

Luo Jinrui played with it for a while and asked in disbelief, "You created this?"

Zhao Yuxin tilted her head haughtily and replied with pride, "That's right. I actually created this thing a long time ago, but it didn't have much of a market, so I shelved it.

Sigh~ If only our cabin were a bit bigger. Then I could take this out to sell; I guarantee a large group of players on the World Channel would give it a five-star review!"

Luo Jinrui agreed wholeheartedly. "You're right. Now, in order to keep their supplies and avoid being erased by the system, everyone is driving all night to hunt other players. Players who have lost their teammates for rotation are the most dependent on things like this!"

Zhao Yuxin: "That's the logic, alright. But first, we have to consider that the players we kill only drop half their supplies. I can only trade for higher-level items on the Trading Channel, but where would players get so many high-level items?"

Luo Jinrui: "Saying all this is useless. Let's just think of a way to make it to seven in the morning."

Zhao Yuxin: "Okay."

As time passed, more and more players were eliminated. Although they wouldn't truly die on Blue Star, many players chose to form alliances so that their supplies and blueprints wouldn't be lost.

Some players even tied their vehicles together with ropes or similar items after forming alliances so they could get enough rest, only waking the others when they encountered other players.

Of course, some players had thought about trading for things to stay alert, but due to large-scale looting, the prices of various resources were inflated, to the point where almost nothing on the Trading Channel was being bought.

It was just like a country printing money recklessly, causing a social economic crisis, which resulted in almost no one buying anything on the Trading Channel anymore.
