Chapter 316
Fog Blade and Maple Sugar were crammed together in a tiny black go-kart, looking pitiful with nine tails awkwardly positioned. Yet, the expression on Fog Blade's face suggested she was seated on a throne, driving the go-kart without a clue as to how long she had been following.
Perched on the steering wheel was a light brown hamster, about the size of Yu Xunge's palm, its tiny hands resting in front of it, staring blankly at Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge was no longer angry, but Fog Blade was. With a cold expression, she pointed forcefully at Yu Xunge and pulled out a six-sided die, then emphatically gestured a "2": You stole two pieces of the World’s Tomb from me! Two!
Old grievances resurfacing? Yu Xunge shook her head, her eyes clear yet confused: "I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying."
Fog Blade: "…"
Glancing at the time, with only two minutes left, Fog Blade didn’t dare to delay any longer. She grabbed Yu Xunge's hand and began writing the rules directly on it.
Yu Xunge pressed down on Fog Blade's hand first; she needed to inform her that she could only stay here for twenty minutes. She didn’t want Fog Blade to misunderstand and think she was betraying her trust.
Though she said to do whatever they wanted, having one less enemy in this battlefield was certainly a good thing!
Fog Blade watched Yu Xunge gesture in silence. Each time Yu Xunge made a sign, Fog Blade frowned, her expression one of confusion: What does that mean? I don’t get it.
After at least five attempts, Yu Xunge was getting anxious, while Fog Blade remained: "Huh?"
Yu Xunge: "…" Got it, Fog Blade is pretending to be clueless to get back at me.
Seeing Yu Xunge’s exasperated expression, Fog Blade finally used sign language to indicate that she should wait for her at the door.
That was no problem; they could spare those ten minutes. After two hours of intense driving and battling, both Yu Xunge and Tu Lan were a bit tired. It was just right to eat while waiting for Fog Blade—if they all survived, that is.
When Tu Lan returned with the food, only 25 seconds were left on the countdown. Yu Xunge stuffed the food into her hoodie pocket and waved goodbye to Fog Blade before driving off; they needed to find other white go-karts in advance.
Yu Xunge said, "You’re a great driver. You take the wheel in this game; just drive however you want. Don’t worry about me; just focus on dodging skills while tailing other white go-karts. I’ll handle attacking the players."
Tu Lan had already spotted a white go-kart: "Don’t worry, I’ll show you what real skills look like!"
Yu Xunge frowned: "Are you implying something?"
Just as she finished speaking, whoosh~bang, fireworks exploded— the game had begun!
Tu Lan immediately released the brake and shot forward, while Yu Xunge quickly set up her sniper.
Though colliding with other go-karts would incur penalties, there was no rule against attacking with skills, and clearly, other players thought the same.
The moment the game started, skills began to fly chaotically. In the blink of an eye, the area with the most players was nearly submerged in various skills. Tu Lan sneered, "Time to show off some real technique!"
She drifted just inches away from a skill, and Yu Xunge felt as if she might be thrown from the go-kart.
This was the real bumper car experience!
Yu Xunge spotted Fog Blade in her rickety go-kart, chasing after another black go-kart. Just as they were about to collide with another colored go-kart, she clicked her tongue, extended her long leg, and kicked that go-kart over.
The seal inside rolled a few times on the ground, and before it could stand up, the go-kart that had rolled over was already zooming away.
Yu Xunge: 5
Tu Lan noticed too: 5
Yu Xunge immediately aimed her sniper at the seal’s head and fired—bang! She hit the jackpot!
【Ding—Congratulations, Zai Jiu Xun Ge has killed Mai Mang Dun Dun. Player Dun Dun chooses to exchange a divine talent skill for a resurrection opportunity. You will receive this divine talent skill as your loot.】
【Ding—You have obtained Dun Dun's divine talent skill—Fishing Master (Passive).】
Yu Xunge exclaimed, "Quick, quick, let’s loot the body!"
The go-kart quickly stopped beside the seal, and Yu Xunge bent down to search for the World’s Tomb. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a white go-kart charging toward them.
Yu Xunge threw out a thunder net to block the opponent for a second, buying herself a bit of time, and successfully grabbed a playing card!
With the card in hand, Yu Xunge pressed the gas pedal, and Tu Lan understood, leading her to escape.
Once they left that black go-kart behind, Yu Xunge finally had the time to check the skill and the World’s Tomb she had acquired.
【Fishing Master】(Passive): Allows you to see the current status and taboos of all targets without being detected, with no cost.
【World’s Tomb·Ace of Hearts】: Belongs to the Mai Mang civilization; players from other civilizations can only use it as a ticket.
【Chapter 410: Divine Game: Go-Kart Racing 9】
Yu Xunge asked Tu Lan, "Did you get Fishing Master?"
Tu Lan replied with a laugh, "Yep!"
Yu Xunge looked around at the other players and noticed that information had appeared above everyone’s heads, somewhat similar to the energy-saving mode of a pocket watch, but more detailed.
For instance, for Fog Blade:
【Fog Blade 15th Rank 75%┃53%┃Irritable·Extremely Dangerous┃Taboo: Third Fox Tail┃Weakness: The tip of the Ninth Fox Tail.】
Yu Xunge watched as Fog Blade successfully tailgated a black go-kart. After the collision, she didn’t stop; instead, she shoved that go-kart against the wall of a gas station.
She pressed the gas pedal to the floor! Finally, she flipped the opponent’s go-kart over and smashed the rear tire with a punch before turning her car around, leaving with a satisfied, elegant smirk.
Hmm… this 【Fishing Master】 is quite accurate.
But what Yu Xunge liked even more was that this skill could display taboos and weaknesses. She just didn’t know the difference between the two—did the former offend people? Or would it make the latter furious? She would have to experiment to find out.
This skill could, to some extent, replace the Sharpshooter’s 【You’re Too Weak (Passive)】, and might even be better.
Because with 【You’re Too Weak (Passive)】, she couldn’t see Fog Blade’s weaknesses, but 【Fishing Master】 could tell her directly.
That third fox tail—could it be the first tail when Fog Blade was still a little fox?
She wondered how Dun Dun could have discarded such a useful skill—was it because it didn’t have enough S-level skills to spare, or did it have a scouting skill item that could replace this divine talent skill?
…
Tu Lan’s driving skills were still very reliable, and she wasn’t greedy. If she could catch up, she would, but she never lingered in battle; preserving their go-kart was the most important thing.
Moreover, Yu Xunge always managed to keep the acceleration fuel topped up, ensuring Tu Lan wouldn’t run out of fuel at a critical moment.
To avoid finishing in the last fifty and facing death, Yu Xunge aimed for the tires of other players, taking out one whenever she could, and occasionally counting how many players had lost their go-karts.
Other players also coordinated with their pets, but most of the time, it was the owner driving while the pet attacked.
Of course, there was also Fog Blade, who did everything herself.
Her white hamster pet just stood on the steering wheel, washing its face, seemingly oblivious, and was less effective than Fog Blade’s tail, which could whip passing players into the air for a full four and a half spins before they landed.
During this time, Yu Xunge once again "mysteriously" violated the rules twice.
She recalled the scenes of her previous rule violations and tried to say, "I suspect one of the rules is that acceleration time cannot exceed ten seconds."
The next second, a rule in her game instructions lit up, translated into Chinese.
【Rule Ten: Acceleration time must not exceed ten seconds.】
While stealing go-kart coins, Yu Xunge muttered to herself, running through various guesses, but there was no response.
Tu Lan asked, "Do you think we need to guess after breaking the rules for it to be effective?"
Yu Xunge thought the same.
Just as she finished speaking, they were rear-ended. Yu Xunge turned her go-kart around and shot at the player behind them, but the player dodged by tilting their head. However, as Yu Xunge fired, she pushed her right palm forward and used a skill—Drunken Dream.
The player in the go-kart instantly fell unconscious. Tu Lan glanced back and immediately turned around, chasing after them. One hit wasn’t enough; she kept pursuing!
She grabbed onto one player, not only reclaiming the mileage she had lost but also making a hefty profit.
By the time the opponent regained consciousness after losing more than 10% of their health, Yu Xunge’s gun had already hit the back of their head.
Tu Lan slammed into the back of their go-kart again, while Yu Xunge fired her second shot. Unfortunately, the player reacted quickly, realizing Yu Xunge was a threat, and used a blink skill to escape, leaving only a go-kart behind.
It could only be said that the players here had no lack of combat awareness; their skills varied, but they were all decisive in battle.
Tu Lan didn’t hesitate to tailgate several times, smashing that go-kart to pieces.
Yu Xunge glanced at the steering wheel; Tu Lan had already stolen 19 go-kart coins, and with the additional 10 coins from the rewards, they had enough to leave, but it still wasn’t enough.
This round of the game was too costly for the go-karts. At the next gas station, they would definitely have to spend a lot on repairs, not to mention buying fuel.
The game had already been going for 12 minutes, and their mileage had exceeded 1500 km.
