Running All Night with a Car on His Shoulders

Mo Shuying was glad that this Singularity space had everything except living creatures.

Earlier, he had only had time to hastily make two Molotov Cocktails. Now that he had time, he could make all the good stuff he wanted.

First came the Molotov Cocktails. They were incredibly useful. Mo Shuying found a supermarket, humming a zero-dollar shopping tune as he pushed a cart around picking things out. Before long, he had filled an entire cart.

This was a large supermarket. The lights were still on, and the refrigeration and air-conditioning systems were running.

Mo Shuying did not really understand how it worked. It was clearly just an incomplete composite space, so why did everything inside feel so real? Was this magic?

"Huh? What's this?"

As Mo Shuying wandered around, he reached the outdoor sports section. There, he saw an entire row of Baseball Bats, but those were not what caught his attention. What attracted him were the Entrenching Tools.

"This shovel seems pretty good."

He casually took one down and swung it a few times. The weight was decent, and it felt good in his hand. He touched the exposed section beneath the blade guard; it was quite sharp. At around 1.2 meters long, it looked far more damaging than his metal baseball bat no matter how he looked at it.

"A multifunctional entrenching tool. It has quite a few functions. Not bad, I'll take one."

Mo Shuying picked a suitable one and put it in the cart. After wandering around a little longer, he finally sat down right in the liquor and beverage section. He casually grabbed a bottle of soda, opened it, took a sip, and began making tools.

Molotov Cocktails were also known as Molotov Cocktails. They were simple to make but enormously powerful weapons. All they needed were a bottle, some flammable liquid, and a stopper at the bottle mouth soaked in flammable liquid, whether paper or cloth.

Mo Shuying quickly made twenty bottles. It was not that he could not make more or lacked materials; he simply could not carry any more.

Even these twenty were hard to transport. Mo Shuying loaded them onto the cart and pushed them out along with the other items. He was extremely careful the entire way. It was a cart full of dangerous goods, after all. If they exploded from a bump, he would be in trouble too.

Fortunately, the trip went smoothly. Mo Shuying placed more than a dozen bottles around the crossroads where the monsters appeared, leaving the remaining few in the cart.

Then, since there was electricity, he could make use of that too.

Several hours later.

"Whew, this should be about right."

Looking at the crossroads now encircled by coils of steel wire, Mo Shuying clipped two energized wire clamps onto the coiled steel wires. A faint spark traveled along them. They should be connected to the power now.

Mo Shuying swallowed as he looked at the steel wires flickering with faint sparks. He did not dare test whether they were truly live. Turning around, he dragged the cart into a nearby coffee shop. From a seat by the window, he could directly observe the crossroads. After watching for half an hour, Mo Shuying grew bored again.

He checked the time. It was around nine in the morning by normal time. The old Mo Shuying would probably still have been asleep at this hour, but after becoming a Heroic Spirit, even the weakest kind, he seemed to need very little sleep.

He had stayed up all night and was still energetic. He had worked for hours without feeling the slightest fatigue. Mo Shuying deeply felt that this body of his was no longer human.

Just as Mo Shuying was sighing inwardly, the system's voice rang out beside his ear.

"Ding~ Detected that the host is idle and about to enter a couch potato state. The system is issuing a Daily Quest.

Quest One: Explore this alternate-dimensional space and locate the dimensional boundary. Rewards will be issued according to exploration progress."

"..."

Mo Shuying was stunned when the system suddenly issued a quest. His first reaction was—

"Can I not go?"

Bored as he was, it was also true that he did not want to move.

"If the host refuses to complete the Daily Quest, the system will disable the Daily Quest function. The host is reminded that Daily Quests can provide large amounts of items and experience."

"..."

Since the system had put it that way, he had no choice. Mo Shuying could only get to his feet reluctantly, walk out of the coffee shop, pick up a bicycle from the roadside, and begin exploring this space.

The moment he got on the bike and lightly pushed down with his foot, he shot forward a great distance. Surprise appeared in Mo Shuying's eyes. He could feel that his strength had grown again.

Thinking about it, that made sense. As time passed, the effects of Gathering Storm would continue to manifest. It was an A++ super skill. Given enough time, it could absolutely create a terrifying existence.

Moreover, this enhancement was incredibly comprehensive. Every point of attack increased Mo Shuying's own strength. Every point of spell power brought his mental strength along with it. Increased mana strengthened his entire body in every aspect. Given enough time, all of Mo Shuying's attributes would surely improve.

"Ha ha! This feels amazing!"

Mo Shuying had never imagined that riding a bicycle could feel this exhilarating. He seemed to have fallen in love with the sensation. Man and bike swept up a gust of wind as they raced down the empty streets. All he lacked was a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand; otherwise, he would definitely put on a performance of Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles.

Mo Shuying rode through street after street before stopping at the entrance to a bridge.

Fuyuki City had only one bridge. A long river connected to the sea split Fuyuki City in two, and the bridge was also one of the city's landmarks.

Mo Shuying stood at the entrance to the bridge without proceeding any farther. It was not that he did not want to cross it; there was simply no road ahead.

"Is this the boundary?"

Before him, he could clearly see the magnificent bridge, yet a transparent barrier blocked his path.

Mo Shuying got off the bike and touched the invisible obstruction. Then he threw a hard punch at it, but there was not the slightest reaction.

After that punch, Mo Shuying understood. The barrier before him was an insurmountable gulf. At that moment, he felt like a bird trapped in a cage.

But Mo Shuying quickly shook his head and cast that thought aside. He got back on the bicycle and began riding along the barrier. Once he started, he rode for more than half the day.

"Finally reached the end? Ryuudou Temple should be up there, right? It's blocked off too!"

After riding for a long time, Mo Shuying arrived beneath a small mountain. Ahead lay a shadowy road leading uphill. Mo Shuying was certain this was the mountain road to Ryuudou Temple. Do not ask why; there was a sign at the foot of the mountain.

From Fuyuki Bridge to Ryuudou Temple, Mo Shuying had finally covered nearly half of the alternate space. The direct distance had not been that great, but the boundary barrier had forced him to take many detours. By the time he reached the foot of Ryuudou Temple's mountain, it was already dark.

When the sky darkened, Mo Shuying, who had just been about to turn back, suddenly sensed a mysterious spiritual force piercing into the sky of the Singularity space. However, it did not get far before it was exhausted and erased.

The moment Mo Shuying noticed this, his soul nearly left his body! He did not dare linger for even a second! He pedaled away as fast as he could!

But he quickly found the bicycle too slow. He got off, hoisted the bicycle onto his shoulders, and kept running!
