Chapter 315
Not only was Tu Lan's driving skill top-notch, but many of the other races might not have even played go-karting before, which gave her an advantage. The one-minute head start she had also provided her with a significant edge, allowing her to avoid the chaotic melee at the starting point.
**Chapter 408: Divine Game: Kart Racing 7**
Yu Xunge pulled up the game leaderboard and noticed that some players had only covered a little over twenty kilometers, despite the game having been underway for quite some time. It was impossible for them to be stuck in the battle zone, which meant these players were likely walking because their karts had broken down.
She glanced around and asked Tu Lan to stop the car. Stepping out for a moment, she quickly sensed the difference.
Just like when she had tried to fly with her kart, walking on the racetrack came with a speed penalty. Her impressive speed of 8500 was reduced to less than half of the kart's speed while walking, and she could only barely catch up if she used her skills.
Yu Xunge wasted no more time; after her brief experiment, she hurried back into the car and set off again.
However, Yu Xunge and Tu Lan didn’t waste their blue fuel; they only used nitro boosts when encountering other karts.
Tu Lan was in charge of driving, while Yu Xunge took aim with her sniper, indiscriminately attacking all karts and providing fuel support. The synergy between the girl and her dragon was seamless.
With the sharpshooter talent's passive ability, "I’m Getting Serious," which guaranteed a hit after three seconds of aiming, combined with the sniper Yu Xunge brought along, it was perfect for this game, especially in road combat.
During this time, Yu Xunge had violated the game rules eight times, losing 27 attribute points, 1% of her health cap, and 25% of her experience points—a significant loss. She couldn’t fathom how the other players managed to survive…
Moreover, she had no idea what she had done wrong; she was just driving normally.
Yet, she had also gained some benefits from items, including increased attribute points, enhanced mana cap, and faster casting speed… Even so, her losses outweighed her gains.
Unfortunately, the frequency of glowing boxes appearing was utterly unpredictable. Sometimes she would encounter one within minutes, but on the recent stretch of road, it had been over ten minutes without seeing a single glowing box.
Just as Tu Lan finished complaining, they turned a corner and spotted something: a row of karts parked right in the middle of the track at the end of the racetrack.
The karts were lined up neatly, and for a moment, Yu Xunge thought she had driven back to the starting point.
A small group of players sat in their karts, pressing the brakes, while others had already left their karts. It was unclear whether these players had broken down or run out of fuel, but they clearly didn’t look friendly, and there were too many of them for her to handle.
Yu Xunge said, “Get ready.”
Tu Lan asked, “Are we just going to charge in?!”
“Charge in! Floor it! I’m going to make you burn today!”
With that, she felt energized, and Tu Lan didn’t question Yu Xunge’s plan. She slammed the accelerator down, determined that no one was getting out of this kart today.
As they charged forward, getting closer to the players, they were less than a thousand meters away. Tu Lan curiously asked, “Do you have a plan?”
At that moment, Yu Xunge could see the alien players ahead. Fortunately, she understood the language of about a third of them.
Yu Xunge shouted in one of the alien languages, “What? You say who dares to hit us? Let me steal their divine gifts! Isn’t the ancient curse of Sha Leng enough to satisfy you, you greedy dragon?!”
Once wasn’t enough; like a broadcaster, she repeated the phrase in several languages.
The players standing in the middle of the road, with skills charged, were left dumbfounded.
They inexplicably noticed that several players nearby quickly moved to the side of the road, fear driving their actions. One player even started running, asking another who could communicate with him, “What’s going on?!”
The other player babbled something in response.
By the time Tu Lan and Yu Xunge approached, the group of players had cleared a path, and the white kart zoomed past.
Tu Lan asked, “What did you say to make them so scared?”
Yu Xunge explained.
A scream from Tu Lan pierced the wind, “Is this what you call high energy?!”
Yu Xunge wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, “I guess so.”
After all, in this place, most players could squash her with ease. Since she could be squashed at any moment, it meant she could do whatever she wanted.
She tried to share this toxic positivity with Tu Lan, but Tu Lan refused, “No way!”
Finally, with only 14% fuel left, the girl and her dragon entered a gas station once more.
Tu Lan drove the car right next to a vending machine, which had plenty of stock, and there was more than one vending machine selling fuel.
A bottle of fuel was 25ml, costing one kart coin per can. Filling a fuel tank required 20 small bottles, and they had enough kart coins for that.
The problem was that there were too many types of fuel—at least fifty different kinds. She only had one rule telling her not to use fuel type 35, but were there any other types she couldn’t use? Or was there a limit on mixed fuel quantities?
Time was running out; the countdown on the game monument showed only 9 minutes left. She still needed to buy parts for her kart, as one of the wheels was severely worn down. Tu Lan mentioned that it always skidded when turning, and the steering wheel was loose, so they needed to replace some parts to secure it.
Yu Xunge decided to randomly pick two types of fuel, excluding type 35, and bought one bottle of each, spending 2 kart coins.
She pressed the kart coin icon on the steering wheel, and with each press, a kart coin popped out. Standing in the car, Yu Xunge tossed the coins in, and bottles of fuel rolled out.
She took off her hoodie, flipped the hat around, and put it back on, using it to collect all the fuel, tying the drawstring to make a makeshift pocket.
Once Tu Lan finished, she released the brake and drove the kart to the parts area, discovering not only parts but also a pair of glasses that cost 50 kart coins. Using them would allow a player to see one rule clearly, but they could only be used once.
Comparing the prices, the parts didn’t seem too outrageous.
The securing part under the steering wheel cost 3 kart coins, while tires were a bit pricier, with the cheapest costing 8 kart coins. Better tires came with various attributes.
No matter how carefully they calculated their purchases, in the blink of an eye, they had spent 13 of their 33 kart coins.
The girl and her dragon drove to a corner, where Tu Lan changed the tires while Yu Xunge tested the fuel.
First, she poured in a bottle of type 25 fuel, but there was no reaction. Then she poured in a bottle of type 85, and still no violations.
Yu Xunge ran back and bought eight more bottles of each of those two fuel types.
After filling the tank with a total of 85 bottles of 25ml fuel, she had only one bottle of 20ml type 85 fuel left, which she stored in her hat.
At this point, Yu Xunge had only 4 kart coins left, but those coins were quickly spent on repair tools.
Tu Lan initially thought her strength was enough to handle it without tools, but once she tried, she realized the kart was tricky; she couldn’t manage without tools… she just couldn’t muster the strength.
In the end, those last 4 kart coins were gone too.
Tu Lan grumbled, “I need to step up my game; otherwise, I won’t have enough to spend.”
Yu Xunge nodded silently.
She had already seen the game in this safe zone—**[Game: Kart Bump]**.
**Chapter 409: Divine Game: Kart Racing 8**
**[Game: Kart Bump]**:
Once the countdown ends, this safe zone will transform into a semi-open battle zone. The entrance will close, and the exit will open, lasting for half an hour. Leaving early will incur a parking fee of 10 kart coins.
After the game starts, players must collide with the rear of karts of the same color in acceleration mode. Completing a rear-end collision will allow them to absorb 10% of the other player’s mileage. If they collide with a kart of a different color, both players will lose 0.1 of their nitro fuel limit.
**The top 100 players who absorb the most mileage will receive kart coin rewards based on their rankings, with the top three receiving a rule explanation.**
**For every kart of the same color that is completely destroyed, players will be rewarded with 10 kart coins.**
**At the end of the game, the bottom fifty players in terms of absorbed mileage will be eliminated.**
**During the battle zone time, players will be temporarily unbound from their karts.**
**Current player count in this safe zone: 805.**
At this moment, there were only 3 minutes left on the countdown to the game starting.
Including the time Yu Xunge and Tu Lan had before the game began, they would only have 22 minutes to play this **[Kart Bump]**. To be safe, she planned to start leaving by the 20-minute mark, which meant she would have to pay the parking fee.
—“Cough…”
Tu Lan didn’t care about that; after fixing the kart, she drove around looking for the exit while searching for opportunities among the passing kart players.
Just as Yu Xunge was formulating her escape plan, she looked down and noticed 5 kart coins had appeared on the steering wheel. They had also found the exit.
—“Cough cough cough…”
Who was that, following them and coughing at her? How rude! She had been holding back her irritation for a long time!!!
Yu Xunge slammed on the brakes and turned to glare at the person, but the next second, her anger dissipated.
