Chapter 90: Ajiu, slow down, the vehicle is too fast!

~8 min read 1,437 words

Watching the monsters gradually disappear from his field of vision, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huff, huff—finally shook them off!" Zhao Yuxin sat down in the carriage with a thud, panting heavily.

Zhu Zhiquan came to the rear window and said to the Ice Cream Cactus, "Baobao, there is no danger now, no need to drive so fast."

Hearing this, the Ice Cream Cactus slowed down a bit, keeping the Tricycle at twenty kilometers per hour.

Zhao Yuxin complained to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, do you know? I saw so many Material Boxes on the road but didn't have a chance to open them; if it weren't for the monsters... mmph~"

Zhu Zhiquan stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth, "Eat something first. In a while, I'll help you with strength training; let's try to max out your strength before the seventh day."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuxin hurriedly refused, "Ah? This... this isn't necessary, right? I feel like I'm doing just fine right now..."

Before Zhao Yuxin could finish her sentence, Zhu Zhiquan immediately mocked, "Oh, so you mean you can't do it? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so useless... Ow, ow, ow... I was wrong, I was wrong~"

Zhao Yuxin puffed up her cheeks and tugged on Zhu Zhiquan's ear, looking unconvinced as she said, "Who's useless? You tell me!"

"I'm useless, I'm useless, Azhao~ I was just teasing you, don't take it seriously." Zhu Zhiquan pressed his palms together, his expression very sincere.

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin brushed Zhu Zhiquan aside, crossed her arms, turned her back to him, and said to Zhu Zhiquan, "After I finish eating, you help me list the Micro Plant Creation Array for sale. Remember to set the price at one Level 2 Metal per unit."

Zhu Zhiquan quickly agreed, "Alright, alright, alright, I promise, don't be mad at me, okay?"

"We'll see after I finish eating!" With her back to Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Yuxin began to eat heartily, while simultaneously crafting an Ice Cream Cactus in the vehicle to send to Ling Xi.

Zhu Zhiquan went to the edge of the carriage to take stock of the plant losses; among them, four Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters had been corroded by acid, all the Xunfeng Pea Shooters had withered due to prolonged combat and acid corrosion, and only one Sea Buckthorn Bomber remained.

Looking at the lonely Flowerpots, Zhu Zhiquan placed these Flowerpots deep in the carriage, deciding to plant some new plants when needed later.

While Zhu Zhiquan was moving the Flowerpots, the Ice Cream Cactus suddenly stopped, then hugged a Purple Material Box into the carriage before returning to the driver's seat to drive.

After Zhu Zhiquan opened the Material Box, he obtained a blueprint and fifty units of Gasoline.

Name: Short-range Engine Blueprint

Quality: White

Introduction: With this, your Tricycle's speed can increase by 20 km/h, and fuel consumption will decrease by 15%.

Materials: Metal five units, Electronic Parts ten units.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't say a word and crafted it immediately, then continued moving the Flowerpots. After clearing the Flowerpots, Zhao Yuxin also finished her bread and crafted a large number of Micro Plant Creation Arrays.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan was preparing to list these for sale, the Tricycle suddenly stopped again, and the Ice Cream Cactus kept making "mmph, mmph" sounds, with fear mixed into its voice.

Zhao Yuxin immediately got out of the vehicle holding a Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter, and Zhu Zhiquan followed closely behind with a Xuangang Spear.

After getting out, the two discovered five monsters attacking players ahead. At this moment, this group of players' Tricycle had already been overturned, and one player was carrying their teammate, standing on top of the overturned Tricycle.

In the continuous fighting, the two saw that the lower half of the teammate's body was gone, the blood had long since drained away, and this player was continuously driving away the surrounding monsters.

Zhao Yuxin watched this moving scene and almost cried. She then said to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, can we save them?"

Zhu Zhiquan did not answer; he opened the vehicle door to let the Ice Cream Cactus out, while he sat in the driver's seat, preparing to drive.

"Ajiu, can we save them?" Zhao Yuxin hugged the Ice Cream Cactus, looking at him with anticipation.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the attacked players, no expression visible on his face. He simply told Zhao Yuxin to take the Ice Cream Cactus and get in the vehicle, saying nothing else.

Zhao Yuxin took a deep breath and entered the carriage with the Ice Cream Cactus. Once they were inside, Zhu Zhiquan slammed on the accelerator, and the Tricycle, like an arrow released from a bow, knocked over several monsters and the overturned Tricycle.

The massive sound of the impact made Zhao Yuxin feel very uncomfortable; even though she covered her ears, she still felt a sharp pain in them. Afterward, she saw the Tricycle spinning in circles on the ground, as well as the struggling players.

Watching the struggling players get further and further away, she immediately felt as if a cold wind had blown over her, wondering if she would end up like this player in the future.

But she would not blame Zhu Zhiquan, because she didn't know which wave of monster attacks this was for the player. If they helped them solve this batch of monsters, but the next batch arrived and they couldn't handle it, wouldn't they end up in the same state as this player!

"Forget it, let's check the Trading Channel." Zhao Yuxin opened the panel and looked at the Trading Channel, finding that quite a few players were taking out Bulletproof Glass Blueprints to trade.

No need to guess; it was another player about to reach their limit, otherwise why would they trade such a precious blueprint? Although she didn't know why this player didn't craft it themselves.

Zhao Yuxin agreed to the trade without a second thought. After thinking for a moment, she also listed Explosive Chili and Ion Chimera Bomb for sale; this time, Zhao Yuxin set the price very low, selling them directly at cost.

"I feel like I shouldn't have set the price for the Micro Plant Creation Array so high..." Zhao Yuxin sighed as she watched the world population count continuing to drop.

At this moment, the world population had reached 1701/3000, changing on average every three seconds.

Zhao Yuxin sighed, took out her diary to record it, and then looked at the Bulletproof Glass Blueprint.

Name: Bulletproof Glass Blueprint

Quality: White

Introduction: Are you still worried because your glass isn't strong enough? Don't worry, Bulletproof Glass can solve this problem; with it, your glass will be much stronger.

Materials: Glass forty units, Rubber ten units, Level 2 Metal twenty-five units.

"That's highway robbery!" Zhao Yuxin now understood why the player selling this blueprint hadn't crafted it; such a massive amount of materials was simply not meant for humans to gather.

However, she still learned the blueprint and crafted it; after all, in yesterday's Player Group war, that massive amount of supplies wasn't looted for nothing.

Along the way, besides opening Material Boxes, they encountered players who were trying to shake off monster pursuits. Among them, there were not a few who had successfully killed all the pursuing monsters, though their Tricycles were basically covered in scars.

At a certain fork in the road, just as Zhu Zhiquan was preparing to open a box, the system prompt suddenly rang in their minds: "Congratulations on killing all the pursuing monsters. After the monster pursuit time ends, this system will reward you based on your actions."

Zhu Zhiquan guessed that the monsters originally pursuing them had been swallowed by lava. He opened the Material Box in front of him and quickly moved it into the carriage.

Zhao Yuxin asked Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, what do you think the system will give us as a reward?"

Zhu Zhiquan jumped out of the carriage, turned his head, and said, "I don't know either. We'll know when the time comes. If all else fails, you can just contact Luo Jincheng and have him perform a Divination."

Zhao Yuxin thought about Luo Jincheng's demeanor, shook her head, and said, "Let's forget about that. For something that is bound to be beneficial to oneself, it's better not to trouble others."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly, then drove the Tricycle into a wider passage to speed.

Listening to the roar of the engine, Zhao Yuxin covered her ears and shouted, "Ajiu, slow down, the vehicle is too fast!"
