77: Chapter 77 A Mishaps on the Road
The wuling divine car with a VIP license plate sped along the national highway.
Yue Yun wore the badge of the Beast Suppression Army.
He rubbed the surface of the badge like he was fiddling with walnuts, polishing it until it shone brightly, as if afraid others wouldn't see it.
"Hey, Yue, that's enough. Didn't Mayor Xu say to keep the badge safe and not expose it for now?"
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu were incredibly envious.
The Beast Suppression Army was the cutting-edge force for humanity against exotic beasts; their badge represented strength and supreme honor.
Neither they nor the current Yue Yun were worthy of it yet.
But that didn't stop them from coveting it, a heroic passion for slaying exotic beasts sprouting in their hearts as they fantasized about the day they would become heroes.
What young man doesn't have a dream of being majestic?
Yue Yun carefully put the badge away.
"Do you guys think I still need to take the college entrance exam?"
The Beast Suppression Army was originally his backup plan.
Now that he had already become a member of the Beast Suppression Army, the college entrance exam was no longer that important; it had become optional.
A brief silence fell inside the car.
Naturally, Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu couldn't stand to see Yue Yun slacking off.
Xu Qingfang said, "The college entrance exam isn't important, but you still have to take it to show them your strength!"
"Exactly, we can't let you just run off!"
Mo Yu said with a grin.
The wuling divine car continued forward. After driving for a while, it slowly decelerated and came to a steady stop by the side of the road.
"What's wrong?"
"It's too stuffy in the car, I'm getting sleepy."
Mo Yu stretched lazily and casually opened the car window to let the cold wind pour in, venting out the thick carbon dioxide.
Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun looked at each other.
Who would have thought this guy had such safety awareness!
Mo Yu called Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun out of the car. The three of them stood side by side, lighting cigarettes amidst the embrace of the cold wind.
"Once the championship prize money arrives, let's get a new car."
Xu Qingfang suggested.
The prize money for the championship team was one hundred million alliance coins. Evenly split, each person would get twenty-five million alliance coins. Replacing this old wuling divine car would be child's play.
Mo Yu shook his head in refusal. "Use the prize money to train your Pet Beasts and increase your strength. We'll talk about changing cars later. Besides, I heard Pan Zi is planning to get a new car."
"Would Pan Zi give you his old car?"
"Haven't you heard? A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime!"
Mo Yu threw away his cigarette butt with great resolve.
According to the laws of the East District, children are the first in line for inheritance. Asking for a car wasn't too much, right?
Reasonable, quite reasonable!
Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun thought for a moment. After understanding his meaning, their expressions changed drastically, deeply admiring his courage to seek death.
"You actually dare to eye Pan Zi's inheritance? You're something else!"
They thought Mo Yu was just an ordinary outlaw, but now it seemed he was more than that; he was a Zhang San who repeatedly pushed his luck.
The three returned to the car.
Xu Qingfang volunteered, "Let me drive!"
Although he hadn't driven before, he had watched Mo Yu clearly and remembered all the details.
Mo Yu was happy to have someone replace him.
After a bit of guidance on controlling the vehicle, Xu Qingfang could drive quite decently and took over for Mo Yu to continue the journey.
Seeing this, Yue Yun and Mo Yu felt relieved.
"I must say, Old Xu drives pretty well."
Mo Yu lay comfortably in the back seat and fell asleep, while Yue Yun sat in the passenger seat observing the road, but it wasn't long before he also started dozing off.
Xu Qingfang became more and more proficient. His originally tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his excited mood leveled out.
Mo Yu and Yue Yun's sleeping triggered Xu Qingfang's own drowsiness.
The repetitive road conditions made his eyes dry and his eyelids heavier. Before long, he unconsciously fell asleep.
The car, with everyone inside asleep, continued to move.
...
By the roadside.
A man in thin clothing knelt on the ground, guarding his older brother who was unconscious from a car accident, wailing at the top of his lungs.
The cold wind made the man shiver.
He gradually stopped crying and rubbed his frozen arms with both hands for warmth, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.
"Big brother, can we really trick people like this?"
The unconscious big brother slowly opened his eyes.
He replied sleepily, "Don't worry. It's almost the end of the year, and people are starting to head back to their hometowns. Someone will definitely fall for it."
The man nodded, choosing to believe his big brother.
In his eyes, his big brother was a capable man who often taught him to use his brain to make money, and occasionally led by example.
For instance, a while ago.
An argument broke out at a food stall. His big brother just went over to watch the fun and took a wine bottle straight to the head, earning fifty thousand alliance coins for nothing.
Of course he believed such an impressive big brother.
But the weather was really getting colder and colder.
The man was a bit envious of his big brother who was covered with thick clothes. He pursed his purple lips. "Big brother, how about we swap?"
"Lengzi, what kind of nonsense are you talking?"
The big brother frowned and scolded Lengzi: "Your image is better than mine. Only you can make others lower their guard. If I do it and people don't fall for it, we won't make any money!"
Lengzi nodded blankly, thinking that made sense.
The big brother had an expression like 'this student is teachable'.
He lay back down with peace of mind, then turned his head and saw a car wobbling down the road, coming towards them.
"Lengzi, quick, cry!"
He hurriedly gave a reminder.
Lengzi began to wail with all his might, sounding so heartbroken it was like his own father had died; who knew how much of it was genuine emotion.
The car continued towards them.
"It's working, keep going!"
The big brother was also a bit excited. His hand gripping the sharp knife under his clothes tightened, his knuckles turning slightly white.
Lengzi's wailing grew louder, and the car swayed more as it drove, constantly closing in on them.
This car didn't look like it was worth much.
The big brother was muttering to himself when he suddenly noticed that this wuling divine car was getting closer and closer, with no intention of slowing down at all.
"Something's wrong!"
Years of experience roaming the Jianghu made him alert.
The big brother nimbly flipped up, grabbed Lengzi, and dodged to the side, avoiding the swaying path of the car.
The wuling divine car swept past them.
It crashed straight into their car, knocking it off the road into the field, which finally brought the car to a halt.
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu were jolted awake.
They looked in confusion at Yue Yun, who had woken up first.
Yue Yun had woken up at the moment of impact and pressed down on Xu Qingfang's leg for an emergency brake, preventing a major disaster.
Xu Qingfang's voice was weak: "Was there a car accident?"
"There's no one in the car."
Yue Yun first comforted Xu Qingfang, then explained, "I thought I heard someone wailing just now, and then suddenly we crashed. Luckily we didn't flip over."
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Mo Yu took out his phone to check the time.
"Whoa, we slept for half an hour!"
"It's all my fault for falling asleep. Thank goodness no one was hit."
Xu Qingfang beat his head in both relief and annoyance.
The three opened the car doors and got out.
Before they could speak, they saw the big brother pass by them and stand by the roadside, looking at the car overturned in the field.
The big brother let out a howl of despair.
"My car!"
