I'll Come Clean—My New Class Is Delivery Driver

"Rumble—"

"Oh no!" Shen Bingyue's expression changed drastically as she immediately rushed toward the driver's cabin.

Through the shattered windshield, she saw a despairing sight: the Ghost Bus was speeding toward a bizarre pitch-black passageway. The space there was twisted in an unnatural way, like the bloody maw of an abyssal beast.

"Damn it, that's the ghost realm passage leading to the Place of Rest!"

Shen Bingyue's pupils contracted.

"Once we enter, we'll never be able to come back!"

She immediately activated [Ice Breath], trying to freeze the wheels.

Bone-piercing cold surged wildly from her palms, instantly encasing the wheels in a thick layer of ice.

"Crack—bang!"

The solid ice lasted only half a second before the strange impact crushed it into powder.

Worse still, waves of spine-chilling pressure emanated from the depths of that black passage.

That terrifying aura washed over everyone's souls like a tangible tide, several times more powerful than any urban legend they had encountered before.

"This is... the pressure of a B-rank entity!"

Lei Yun barely held himself upright, his face as pale as paper.

"Quick! Find a way to stop it! If we get dragged into that ghostly place, there won't even be scraps left of us!"

Enduring the pain in his body, Lei Yun forcibly circulated the little lightning power he had left. Blinding arcs of electricity gathered in his hands as he frantically blasted the control panel in the driver's cabin.

"Boom! Bzzzt—"

The lightning struck the metal with deafening crashes, but something bizarre happened. Not only did the electric light fail to damage the console, it seemed to be absorbed, making the red lights on the dashboard flash even more wildly!

The Ghost Bus actually sped up again!

"Let me try!"

Liu Min endured her headache and pulled a stack of yellow talismans from her backpack.

"By the law, be still!"

The talismans burned into golden flames, transforming into several chains of runes that tried to bind the wildly spinning steering wheel. But the instant the runes touched it, they were corroded by an icy force and turned to ashes.

"It's useless!"

Xiao Li had completely panicked. Hugging the equipment case, he frantically smashed it against the window, producing dull, heavy thuds.

"We're going to die here!"

Just as everyone fell into despair, Qin Feng remained remarkably calm.

His gaze locked onto the wildly spinning steering wheel, and a sudden idea flashed through his mind.

As if possessed, he moved closer to the driver's seat.

Just as his palm was about to touch the steering wheel—

[Item Affinity] activated!

[A special supernatural vehicle detected: Ghost Bus]

[Current state: Out of control (being dragged by a higher existence)]

[You may pay 500 Cleansing Points to "tame" it, converting it into your exclusive legendary item]

[Warning: Taming will result in a mental confrontation with a high-level existence and carries certain risks!]

[Confirm?]

"Risks?"

A cold smile curled at Qin Feng's lips.

"The rougher the waters, the pricier the fish!"

Without hesitation, he chose to confirm.

[Cleansing Points -500]

[Establishing mental connection... Mental confrontation begins!]

"Buzz—!"

In an instant, an indescribable agony shot straight into the crown of Qin Feng's head!

It was as though he saw a pair of enormous, cold eyes filled with malice slowly opening at the end of that pitch-black passage!

"Get lost, insect!"

A terrifying will that belonged to no language slammed viciously into Qin Feng's mental world through the psychic connection!

At the same time, he sensed the Ghost Bus's "emotions"—fear, unease, and deep terror toward those eyes.

This bus was truly like a living creature that had been enslaved!

"You want to steal my things? You think you're worthy?!"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, enduring the soul-rending agony as he condensed all his mental power into a single point and fiercely pushed back!

At the same time, through the faint connection he had just established, he sent the purest command to the Ghost Bus:

"Don't be afraid. I'll take you away—to the real world!"

A miracle happened!

The Ghost Bus, which had been charging madly toward the black passage, suddenly shuddered at the front and let out a piercing metallic screech. Less than ten meters from the entrance, it executed an almost ninety-degree extreme drift!

The entire vehicle scraped across the ground in a shower of savage sparks, then turned around with unstoppable momentum and sped wildly back the way it had come!

"Roar—!!!"

From the depths of the pitch-black passage came a roar filled with fury and unwillingness. That terrifying pressure surged one final time like a collapsing mountain and a tsunami, but the Ghost Bus, now racing in the opposite direction, left it far behind.

"What?!"

Shen Bingyue clung desperately to a handrail to avoid being flung away, her eyes wide.

"How... how is this possible?"

Lei Yun was utterly dumbfounded. He watched Qin Feng hold the steering wheel with one hand, looking as relaxed as if he were driving his own Wuling Hongguang.

Then he looked at the control console he had just bombarded, sparks still crackling over it, and his mind went completely blank.

"Stop smashing it."

Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Li, who was still using an equipment case to smash the window, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"If you keep smashing, we really won't be able to get out. This bus is mine now!"

"Y-Your bus?"

Xiao Li stared blankly at him, the equipment case in his hand frozen in midair.

"What do you mean, it's your bus?"

Shen Bingyue strode over, her sharp gaze fixed firmly on Qin Feng.

"How did you do it?"

Qin Feng gave a mysterious smile instead of answering directly. "Trade secret."

Of course, he couldn't say that he had a system, so he could only pretend to be unfathomable.

"Trade secret?"

Shen Bingyue narrowed her eyes.

"What kind of profession has that ability?"

"Delivery Driver." Qin Feng spouted nonsense with a straight face. "Haven't you heard? In 1999, Blue Star overlapped with the game world. Dungeons descended and began merging with the real world. As a result, every high school student could awaken a profession at eighteen. It determined whether they would become combatants or support personnel, and it was the moment that decided whether they would live an ordinary life. I had bad luck and awakened an E-rank lifestyle profession, [Delivery Driver]. I have a special affinity with all kinds of vehicles, including but not limited to electric bikes, motorcycles, cars, and buses. You can even let me try a starship—maybe I can fly that too. Too bad it's not a combat profession, or I'd have gotten rich long ago."

Everyone looked at one another, falling into an eerie silence.

Lei Yun opened his mouth. The words "bullshit" reached his lips, yet he couldn't bring himself to say them.

After all, he was still on the bus, and they had not yet completely left the Ghost Realm passage.

As the Ghost Bus smoothly drove out of the Ghost Realm passage, the scenery outside the windows changed from a bizarre, warped space back into the familiar nighttime cityscape.

They... were back.

"Mission complete." Shen Bingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but the look in her eyes as she watched Qin Feng became even more complicated.

This man had far more secrets than she had imagined.

Half an hour later, the Ghost Bus stopped on a secluded street in the city.

"Alright, everyone get off."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Qin Feng announced it like a real bus driver.

"What about this bus?"

Liu Min pointed at the Ghost Bus and asked.

"Obviously, I'm driving it home."

Qin Feng said it as though it were only natural.

"Such a huge spoil shouldn't go to waste."

"Oh, right, Captain Shen. I only have a C1 license, so I can't legally drive a bus yet. Help me get one later."

"Do you think the Special Cases Department is some privileged agency? Go take the test yourself!"

Shen Bingyue replied coldly.

After everyone had gotten off, Qin Feng drove the Ghost Bus alone into the night.

Sitting in the driver's seat, he sensed the Ghost Bus's "emotions" through their mental link.

After its earlier panic and resistance, the Ghost Bus had become exceptionally quiet, even conveying a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

"Interesting." Qin Feng smiled. "Looks like I've taken in a pretty decent little brother."

Upon returning to his residence, he willed it and tried to store away the Ghost Bus.

Sure enough, the enormous bus turned into a streak of black light, branding a scorching tattoo onto his arm.

It was a simple bus-shaped design that looked utterly ordinary, but Qin Feng knew it represented the powerful mobile fortress he now possessed.

"Not bad. This haul was worth it."

However, the moment he entered the room, an unprecedented wave of exhaustion mixed with searing mental pain engulfed him like a tide.

The high-intensity battle, the repeated use of the Legendary Armament, and especially the mental confrontation with a B-rank existence when he had forcibly subdued the Ghost Bus had nearly wrung his soul dry.

"Damn it... I can't hold on..."

Before the words had even faded, Qin Feng's vision went black. He toppled stiffly onto the bed and fell into a deep coma.

He slept for three days and three nights straight.
