Chapter 314
Two arrows appeared beneath the two characters "她," pointing directly at Yu Xunge, who was currently having her leg touched by Fengtang.
All the players present were busy. The high-powered players hunted down the weaker ones, destroying their karts, while the low-powered players drove for their lives, occasionally taking a moment to breathe.
But at this moment, all players simultaneously stole a glance at Zelan Fengtang, their eyes wide with surprise. Who would have thought…
Yu Xunge, whose kart was parked next to Fengtang and temporarily out of the fray: "..."
Was she being deceived? It felt like it! But it also seemed like a mutual pursuit; that Su seemed all too willing…
Fengtang had also noticed the information displayed above her head, and her smile froze instantly.
From that day on, the cheerful Feng Huang became introverted.
Yu Xunge had already seen several players park their karts at the edge of the battle zone, starting to frantically click on something in the void…
She quietly opened the world battlefield chat channel and, sure enough, she saw the first-hand gossip.
— "Oh my god, that Zai Jiu Xunge who stole the ancient curse from Donghai Shark, her sister-in-law, was deceived by Zelan Fengtang!"
— "Is that for real?!"
— "It’s true, I swear."
— "Fengtang, don’t interrupt! But didn’t she say she was Zai Jiu Xunge’s mother?"
— "But Zai Jiu Xunge married the daughter of Zelan Fengtang! She admitted it while playing, and the game system verified it. This news is legit."
— "By the Beast God, what kind of family is this?"
— "Is Zelan Wurou still around? Do you know about this?"
— "I don’t know them."
— "Liar! You two teamed up with Zelan Fengtang to take me down last time! Zelan Wurou, are you that sister-in-law?!"
— "Could be."
— "…………Fengtang, can you please shut up? Don’t drag me into this."
— "Calling each other so intimately, and you say you don’t know each other."
Yu Xunge could feel Wurou’s exasperation even through the screen, but why was the fire burning her way?
And how could there be players doubting that Zelan Fengtang could do such a thing? That was just too careless; she had to make sure everyone got the real scoop.
Without blinking, Yu Xunge reached out to turn on her left turn signal, then frantically nodded at all the players driving around in their karts.
Fengtang opened her arms and pressed down on Yu Xunge’s head, stopping her nodding motion. The clever Tulan took over this task, starting to nod like crazy; after all, Yu Xunge had shared everything with her!
Fengtang: "…"
Yu Xunge whispered in Owl language to comfort Fengtang, "It’s okay, there are no familiar faces here. Let’s keep this between us, and it’ll be fine."
Fengtang stared at her for a few seconds. Yu Xunge felt puzzled by the gaze, but Tulan understood.
Having spent so long in the tower, Tulan was quite familiar with Owl language. She understood every word of their conversation and quietly whispered in Dragon language to Yu Xunge, "You don’t have familiar faces, but Fengtang does. She’s been around here for so long, ranking so high; everyone must know her."
Yu Xunge replied softly in Dragon language, "…I know, I’m just playing dumb."
Just then, Fengtang, who could understand Dragon language, took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Fine, for the sake of this wing and the "Ancient Curse," she’d just smile.
For the next ten minutes, Yu Xunge felt like she was part of a prank rather than a game of truth and lies. The game monument seemed to know everyone’s secrets.
Yet it cleverly avoided the core secrets, instead focusing on all the ridiculous gossip. Strangely, it even connected known players, leading Yu Xunge and Tulan to spend their time exclaiming "Wow," "Oh my god," and "No way."
What an eye-opener, indeed.
Was this a battlefield or a village square?
Moreover, the parking lot had turned into utter chaos, transforming into a bumper car paradise.
Everyone was attacking each other in their karts, determined to destroy at least a hundred players’ karts to ensure they wouldn’t end up on the inevitable death list of a hundred players, all while sharing the latest gossip in the battlefield chat channel.
Tulan maneuvered her kart in a serpentine pattern, while Yu Xunge took charge of the attacks.
She was also one of those wanting to eliminate a hundred players; otherwise, leaving early would be tantamount to suicide.
With her 30% power restored from the soul shock, and armed with "Absurd Story" and "Midnight Exile," she was no longer the defenseless newbie she had been when she first entered the world battlefield.
Every player attempting to attack her would suffer 100% backlash!
For every attack that came her way, they dodged what they could, and for those they couldn’t, they used skills like Thunder Net to reduce damage. In the end, any damage that reached Yu Xunge was mitigated by a blood shield. Whenever she sensed danger, she would spend 3 points of her essence to activate the SSS divine skill "Bedtime Fairy Tale."
They couldn’t kill her, not at all.
As long as Yu Xunge wasn’t taken out in one hit, Tulan could heal her. They both had essence, so their healing skills wouldn’t run dry.
Moreover, every player who attacked Yu Xunge was gritting their teeth, as if they were the ones being hit, not her.
And Yu Xunge wouldn’t mindlessly tank damage; even with "Bedtime Fairy Tale" in hand, she could still die if the damage piled up.
Though she hadn’t brought a pocket watch into the game, she had opened the leaderboard while Tulan was looking for an exit, scanning through all the online players. With her body data-processed, her intelligence had shot up to two hundred, allowing her to remember everything at a glance.
So even without a pocket watch, she could quickly discern whose skills she could try to counter and whose she should avoid at all costs.
Besides, the skills these players brought into the battlefield weren’t too diverse. The most powerful skills wouldn’t be wasted on a Tier 5 player; most were saved for stronger opponents.
In contrast, Yu Xunge focused on one player at a time. If she couldn’t take them out with the first shot, it was fine; under the passive effect of "Midnight Exile," her second shot would deal five times the damage, and the third shot would deal twenty-five times.
Basically, any player who had been hit by her second shot would flee in terror.
Even more astonishingly, Tulan discovered she had somehow stolen a Kart Coin from someone’s kart!
After quietly sharing this news with Yu Xunge, the two of them began to circle the edge of the battle zone, avoiding combat but not straying too far from the battlefield.
Yu Xunge was responsible for providing cover with various skills, while Tulan focused on stealing Kart Coins.
During this time, she also inadvertently violated the game rules twice.
She received divine punishment twice: once losing 5 agility points, and the second time, a more severe penalty resulted in her randomly losing a B-level skill—"My Silence is Deafening"!
She immediately spent 2 essence points to use "Thief Dragon," but it didn’t work; the punishment still stood, and she ended up violating the rules again, losing 5 strength points.
Yu Xunge felt a pang of pain; losing attributes was one thing, but losing a skill was truly heartbreaking. She only lost a B-level skill when she died in the tower, but here, it vanished for no reason.
She couldn’t even recall what she had done that was so special.
For a moment, she even doubted whether she had entered the world battlefield or a theme park.
She was determined to play until the end, to see what the final reward would be!
As for the gossip information that the game monument exploded with during this time, Yu Xunge simply turned on her left turn signal.
Until the 38th round of the game began, Yu Xunge didn’t hesitate to turn the steering wheel, signal left, and hit the gas, making her escape.
Yu Xunge had earned 21 Kart Coins from the game and stolen 17 more, increasing her fuel limit by 17%.
However, her kart was in pretty rough shape, rattling as it drove, with damage at 32%, and only 50% fuel left!
This battle zone was toxic; it felt like the more she played, the more she lost!
Tulan shouted to Yu Xunge, "Look at the pets outside! Look at that pig-headed one! Can it drive?! If you get me, you can shout all you want!"
Yu Xunge nodded repeatedly, "No way, none of them can! Their legs can’t even reach the gas and brake pedals; those weirdos outside can’t compare to you!"
Tulan frowned, "Are you implying something about me?"
Yu Xunge replied, "No! Absolutely not! Just take it easy! I’m not wearing any gear on my feet!!!"
There weren’t many players chasing after Yu Xunge, and she successfully left the battle zone before the 40th round began.
She was charged a parking fee of 5 Kart Coins.
A few minutes later, she received the notification that the "Truth and Lies" game had ended. She hadn’t gained any rule analysis, nor had she died.
Once back on the track, she noticed there were far fewer players than when she first started, but this track was clearly different from the previous one. The mountains on the left and the sea on the right had transformed into an endless desert, and she was already sweating after just a few seconds of driving.
She took a moment to check the leaderboard.
To her surprise, she found her mileage at 80 km, ranking her over 8,000th place among more than 20,000 players!
She keenly sensed that she had an advantage in this game.
