Pay Money! That's Right, I Paid Money!

The Tian Kong was overcast, threatening rain, and the wind in the wilderness seemed endless.

It took a little time for Bai Zhi to collect the four skeletons inside the car. Flames roared up, kicking up some dust.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

May the deceased find peace, and may the living find liberation.

-- Genesis the Bible

"The tires were completely flat, and the engine failed; these are the main reasons why this car broke down here... So what caused the deaths of those people?"

Bai Zhi inspected the entire car with his completely soaked feet, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"And why is there only one vehicle in this open field?"

While helping to collect the Corpse Bone, he also made a point of examining the circumstances of the family's deaths, but he was unable to glean any valuable clues.

To be honest, Bai Zhi couldn't understand why they would die in the car under such circumstances.

Reaching out to open the car door, Bai Zhi got inside and activated his Skill, Ouyang Xiu.

This Skill can completely repair damaged machinery, which is quite suitable for this situation. As for the consumption of 10 points of Spiritual Energy per minute, it is negligible for him, whose current Spiritual Energy limit is over 2000 points. The Spiritual Energy Value he naturally recovers every minute is more than 10 points.

With the help of the Skill, the originally dilapidated Off-road Vehicle was transformed into something brand new. Bai Zhi sat in the driver's seat and tried it out briefly. Although he felt a bit blocked, there were no problems driving it.

After walking for half an hour, this place was no longer the low-lying muddy area it had been before.

However, Bai Zhi had no intention of driving himself. After confirming that the car could be driven on this muddy ground, he went straight to the back seat to deal with his shoes, leaving only one of his Shadow Guard to drive.

He had been walking for so long in wet shoes, and if he didn't deal with them soon, he felt his feet would freeze.

As for the current Dungeon, he had no clue what to do. After all, the area was too large. He had walked for a full half hour in the wilderness and had not encountered anyone other than himself.

As for why he didn't ride Plush Cat... traveling like that in the middle of a stormy, open field, was he trying to get himself killed?

Although cars aren't much better, at least the interior is warm, and you don't have to constantly be exposed to the cold air anymore.

After taking off his soaking wet socks and changing his shoes, Bai Zhi looked out at the gloomy wilderness.

The repaired glass blocked the Gale outside, but also covered the windows with a layer of White Mist. The Shadow Guard, sitting in the driver's seat, was driving with great difficulty and an extremely bumpy ride. The headlights were turned on, illuminating a small, dim, and muddy section of the road ahead.

Although the Tian Kong remained overcast as if it were about to rain, with lightning constantly flashing through the clouds, and despite all this time having passed, there was still no sign of a downpour.

After driving for about half an hour, Bai Zhi encountered his first person by the roadside.

After spotting the other party in the distance, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then took the place of the Shadow Guard and drove up to the other party. To show that he meant no harm, he even honked the Loudspeaker a few times.

"So, are you ready to get on the bus?"

Rolling down the car window and resting his elbow on it, Bai Zhi turned to the wary Player and asked him a question.

"Since you're a student, how about I give you a 50% discount on the fare?"

"It's you?"

Upon seeing his appearance, the Player, who was struggling through the wilderness and looked somewhat disheveled, immediately brightened up.

"Hey, help me out!!"

Whether by coincidence or not, the first Player Bai Zhi encountered in this Dungeon was actually an acquaintance.

--At the very beginning of the Large-scale Campaign Quest, at the initial amusement park, he encountered High School Girl had recently become Player.

As for the name, it seems to be something like... Yay!, Add One Exclamation Mark After It?

"It's Xu Lian, her Game ID is [Yay!! ]."

After closing the car door, Xu Lian, who had gotten into the passenger seat, spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Just like before, his trousers and shoes were now almost completely soaked, and his clothes were covered in black mud. Perhaps due to Constitution weaker constitution, his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

"If I remember correctly, you've only been Player for a short time, right? You were only Level three at first, and you probably aren't much higher now. How did someone as weak as you get into this Dungeon?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the other person, rolled up the window again, and took a short quilt out of his Inventory and tossed it to them.

"This Dungeon's difficulty is B to S. I'm certainly not S, but I should be able to handle B-rank, right?"

Xu Lian took the quilt and grinned at him.

"I'm High School Girl got an S-rank in the beginner Dungeon quest, my potential is limitless, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, unlimited potential. I wonder who was freezing like a dog outside just now."

With a slight pursed lip, Bai Zhi kept his eyes on the road and continued driving.

"Remember to be fully prepared next time you enter the Dungeon. It took me almost an hour to find you. Why don't you try walking outside for another hour? Your Constitution attributes are too poor; you'll collapse at the very beginning. At least take proper precautions against the cold and pack some useful items in your Inventory."

"I'm a student, High School Girl who'll be taking the college entrance College Entrance Exam next year. Do you think I have a lot of money?"

Wrapping the quilt around herself, Xu Lian looked resentful.

"So why am I the only one who can walk, while you guys have cars? And brand new ones at that... Can you even fit this stuff in your Inventory?"

"Oh, I topped up my account."

With slightly narrowed eyes, Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at the other person before calmly speaking.

"By the way, when did you enter this Dungeon? How much of the Personally Drawn Map?"

"More than half an hour ago... I understand, Player identity, right?"

As if she had suddenly realized something, Xu Lian looked enlightened and quickly showed her ID.

"Even if it's someone I know, I have to show my Game ID immediately! I'm not that newbie anymore!!"

[No Yay"Yay!!" ]

"... Is that Title before your ID?"

https://m. hetushu. com. com "Yeah, yeah, who knows why I inexplicably got this Title? Why No Yay? I feel like this is deliberately targeting me..."

With a slight pout, wrapped herself in the quilt, and suddenly moved closer to Xu Lian Bai Zhi Bai Zhi, asking him in a low voice with a hint of worry.

"By the way, do your Teammate seem to dislike me? It feels like they're always watching me..."
