Chapter 313
Yu Xunge firmly etched the moment in her memory.
Soon, she and the dragon found a gas station at the heart of the parking lot, where cars were most densely packed. Yu Xunge pressed the brake, and the vehicle came to a halt.
Inside, rows of vending machines displayed a variety of goods: food, gasoline, repair fluids, tools, go-kart parts, and spray paint.
In the center stood a game monument.
It displayed the game for this safe zone, along with a countdown timer showing 9 minutes remaining.
**[Game: Truth and Lies]**:
Once the countdown ends, the safe zone will transform into a semi-open battle zone, with the entrance closing and the exit opening. Leaving the battle zone early will incur a parking fee of 5 Karting Coins.
After the game begins, every 30 seconds, the information of one player present will be revealed. You must choose within those 30 seconds whether the information is true or a lie.
**[Left turn signal means “True,” right turn signal means “Lie”]**
**[The person involved in the “information” does not need to answer; they are automatically deemed correct]**
**[If no choice is made before time runs out, it is considered an incorrect answer]**
**[The game consists of 50 rounds. Each correct answer earns a player one Karting Coin, the only currency accepted at the gas station]**
**[The top three players with the most correct answers will receive a rule clarification]**
**[The 100 players with the most incorrect answers will die immediately]**
**[With each incorrect answer, the player’s go-kart’s nitrous fuel capacity limit will increase by 1%]**
**[During the battle zone time, players will temporarily be unbound from their go-karts]**
**[Leaving midway does not affect the distribution of game rewards]**
**[Current player count in this safe zone: 1535]**
She had 30 seconds, and her time in the battle zone couldn’t exceed 30 minutes. Subtracting the 9 minutes she waited before the game started, she could stay a maximum of 21 minutes, meaning she could answer at most 42 questions. To be safe, she needed to leave after answering the 41st question.
Moreover, this game was riddled with traps. The rule stating, “During battle zone time, players will temporarily be unbound from their go-karts,” meant that everyone could steal each other’s go-karts or even destroy them.
Other rules were straightforward psychological games.
The rewards for correct answers were meager, and only three players could receive rule clarifications.
But answering incorrectly would increase the nitrous fuel capacity limit.
Yet, the 100 players with the most incorrect answers would die outright.
Who isn’t greedy? Who knows when to be satisfied? Who understands when to quit while they’re ahead?
Looking around, she saw powerful players from various worlds. Nearly two hundred players were gathered near the game monument. Who would dare claim they weren’t greedy?
This game was bound to spark a fierce battle. How could one maximize their own benefits while avoiding being among the 100 players with the most incorrect answers?
The answer was simple: select 100 players, destroy their go-karts, and ensure they couldn’t answer at all, resulting in all 50 questions being deemed incorrect.
How to choose between Karting Coins and the nitrous fuel capacity limit?
The answer was equally simple: there was no need to choose! Just steal from other players!
She glanced at her gasoline level. Despite having raced for nearly half an hour, she still had 73% left. She looked around and finally pressed the button in the center of the steering wheel.
In an instant, a glass jar slowly emerged, filled with more than half a jar of silver liquid, marked with a scale of 500ml.
The gasoline bottles in the vending machines at the gas station were pitifully small, resembling tiny essential oil bottles, only about 20-30ml each.
The color and texture of the gasoline looked no different; the only distinction was the model number on the jar, and she even spotted the 35-number gasoline she couldn’t use.
**[Chapter 405: Divine Game: Kart Racing 5]**
Yu Xunge’s expression grew serious. 73% gasoline was enough for now.
But if the entrance to the gas station was hidden in a glowing box, it meant she wouldn’t know when she could next enter the gas station.
She could skip buying gasoline this round, but to be safe, she needed to accumulate Karting Coins. That way, when she found the gas station again, she could buy enough gasoline and some necessary parts during the safe zone time.
Repairing her go-kart was also essential because even if she restored her health, the damage on her go-kart wouldn’t disappear.
Yu Xunge released the brake, and the go-kart started moving again. She let Tu Lan drive while she searched for the parking lot exit, opening the leaderboard to see which players were online this time.
This game had to be played; she just needed to plan for an early exit.
Once she found the exit, she returned to the game monument, where the countdown timer showed only 17 seconds remaining.
At the moment the timer hit zero, the words “Zai Jiu Xun Ge” (载酒寻歌) on her go-kart’s data vanished, temporarily unbinding her from her vehicle.
At the same time, the monument erupted with a loud bang, and a firework shot up from it, bursting into the sky in an instant.
Yu Xunge and Tu Lan stared at the firework, their heads instinctively tilting upward, watching as it soared toward them at incredible speed.
Yu Xunge didn’t dodge. The firework exploded above her head, transforming into a line of silver mist that formed the words: **“I once walked into the hall of marriage with my sister-in-law’s sister.”**
No need to ask; like the game monument, everyone could understand this sentence. At the end of the phrase was another countdown, now showing only 29 seconds.
Yu Xunge: “……………”
This statement, while seemingly incorrect, also felt oddly right… but saying it correctly didn’t feel quite right either.
They had indeed entered… but!
Yu Xunge looked up to see all the players staring at her with strange expressions. To her surprise, no one drove their go-kart to confront her, but that didn’t stop her from immediately signaling left and nodding vigorously.
Literally speaking, the sentence was not problematic.
The players’ expressions grew even stranger. What had once been wariness and uncertainty now included a hint of bizarre fascination.
Yu Xunge sighed in relief. She was surprised that these players hadn’t crashed into her go-kart. She didn’t know if they were wary of her **“Ancient Curse”** or feared she might steal their divine gifts like she had with the **“Ancient Curse.”**
But soon, Yu Xunge learned the answer—a go-kart slowly pulled up beside her and stopped.
This was a very proactive gesture of harmlessness. Yu Xunge didn’t dodge; she frowned and looked over, freezing in place the next moment.
Tu Lan turned to look and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh!”
There sat a nearly 1.9-meter tall owl, looking pitiful in a mini go-kart, its long legs awkwardly dangling. The orange-red wings spread out behind it, making the owl seem several times larger than the go-kart, like an adult playing with a child’s toy.
This was the first time Yu Xunge had seen Feng Tang since coming out of the tower, and for a moment, she felt a bit dazed.
Compared to the Feng Tang in the tower, this one exuded a more commanding presence, her aura bolder and filled with determination. This was the Owl Emperor, not just Feng Tang.
But the moment Feng Tang smiled at her, Yu Xunge felt as if they were back in the Senhai Cabin, chatting and eating together.
Feng Tang placed a hand on Yu Xunge’s leg, which was pressing the gas pedal, and patted her knee, making it thud with each tap. With every pat, Yu Xunge’s health dropped by 0.1%.
Feng Tang’s smile twisted slightly from the **“Absurd Story.”** If the first pat had left her uncertain, by the third, she was sure: this was indeed the **“Absurd Story!”**
Shock and wariness colored her gaze as she looked at Yu Xunge, but her smile remained unchanged as she asked, “Is that so? When did you and Feng Ran go to the Bird’s Nest in Four Seasons City? Why didn’t you invite me to witness it?”
Yu Xunge replied dryly, “...Nothing happened. We just went in to look around. We’re completely innocent.”
Feng Tang naturally knew better. She glanced at the orange-red wings behind Yu Xunge, smiled, and said nothing more, only giving her another gentle pat.
Yu Xunge, seeing her health drop to 99%, dared not speak.
During their conversation, this round of the game came to an end.
A coin’s silhouette quietly appeared at the center button of the steering wheel, likely to pop out when pressed, just like the gasoline jar.
Yu Xunge didn’t rush to retrieve it. She planned to save her Karting Coins for the next gas station, where she could buy gasoline during the safe zone time.
The appearance of the Karting Coin went unnoticed by the other players, but at least half of them had begun to seek out weaker players, quietly moving closer to them.
The battle was about to erupt.
The next round of the game began!
At the moment the fireworks exploded, the parking lot transformed into a bumper car arena.
This time, the firework landed above Feng Tang’s head—**“Yes, I admit, I deceived her sister-in-law’s feelings.”**
