338: Chapter 318: Passing the Baton 338: Chapter 318: Passing the Baton “She really pulled it off. Perhaps giving her to Meow was indeed the right choice.” Information is one thing, and actual combat is another, and it became clear at the very start of the obstacle-road race how unconventional it was going to be. Obstacle races – the terrain is an obstacle, the enemies are obstacles, mechanisms are obstacles, even competitors are obstacles. “… Randomly mark two competitors, make a full-speed dash in one minute, the winner will gain a position further ahead…” The Chasers, no doubt, represent an unfair existence in the race. They love races that go all the way and appreciate the persistence of the Chasers but despise overwhelming victories. One unlucky duck and one lagging lucky guy get marked. If the person in front can’t run farther in a certain amount of time, the positions of the two will be swapped directly. With such a rule, a full-on dash is actually quite foolish. “… New weather forecast, sun showers plus snowstorms here…” “New Magic Monster alert, a group of famished ogres rush out of the cave…” “… Good news, there are no minefields ahead. Bad news, the good news is fake…” Upon hearing these words, the leaders first showed a face of disdain, but after hearing the last part… they were stunned. “Kacha.” There seems to be something under their feet. “Boom!” Sitting in the audience, Lu Ping’an had a completely new view of the Chasers. They’re not the symbol of sportsmanship, they’re downright entertainers. The only somewhat reassuring factor is… “The first stage of the race is drawing to a close, and only two have died and more than twenty have been injured – the rest have retired successfully. It seems that the information about the Secret Realm being safe is true.” In Lu Pingan’s view, these losses are overly conservative. Both fatalities could have completely avoided their deaths if they had been a bit more cautious. “The reputation of the Runner’s Secret Realm, especially the Chasers, is quite good. At least if they want to continue being officially authorized Proper Gods, the safety of their Secret Realm can be guaranteed.” Guan Xinxian is also thinking, as he too has to join the race as an “examinee”, pondering the question style of the examiner in these races. Meanwhile, the Ghost Clan behind them once again witnessed the brutality of the professionals. “… Shuiyun really did great, she’s completely different from before.” Guan Xinxian can’t help but exclaim, this girl’s progress is so obvious that he feels like an old fuddy-duddy. Lu Pingan looked at Meow, stable in the top ten, and nodded. The increase in combat power and profession is actually small. The crucial part is her decisive and ruthless actions, the attitude of only observing the situation when the opponent is down. She’s always observing, contemplating, preparing to take action… there’s no need to worry about her going out on her own anymore. But apart from all this, the combat power she shows is a 2-tier standard, and this is an underestimation. Too sophisticated and compatible equipment, the outrageous quality of the talent abilities, as long as she makes a full-out effort, even a third or fourth-tier could be possible…. Lu Pingan suspects that history is repeating itself, he might not be able to take on Meow right now. This is clearly a pleasant surprise, Meow had completed the transition from green to professional warrior so quickly. Part of it was due to the twists and turns of fate and stimulation, but the other half was… “…She’s talented, and she’s met a good teacher suitable for her. Of course, she’s also met a decent investor.” Lu Ping’an relaxed his shoulders, stood up, and began to warm up. Meow staying in the top ten exceeds expectations. Keep in mind, there are at least four or five 4-tier runners on the field… The overly young Meow has already caught their attention. This time, it is not only the dispute for half plane of the Ancient City University, but also the first public group race of the Runner’s Secret Realm in the Ancient city. Not to say this city, but even the neighboring city districts. Many professional runners who are interested have tried every means to participate. A group of fourth and third tiers gathered together is a grand scene, and it is also destined that this time, they will explore and understand the situation, and naturally consider the benefits, whether to participate in this “race” regularly… unless the reward is incredible, next time it is likely to be a round-robin competition for the fourth tier to win the championship. Clearly, the reason that Meow can enter the top ten is not just her astonishing talent, but mainly because of two pieces of equipment that have stacked her mobility to the level of a “4-tier runner” with the ability of “Wind Control Acceleration”. They might have already remembered Meow. This might be a good thing or maybe a bad thing, depending on how you deal with it… the special agents’ signboard has always been the basis for peace. “Gotta talk to her when I get back.” Looking at Meow, who has been spurred on, competing with the top racers. Lu Ping’an feels a bit helpless. In a sense, the big bosses might not be able to beat Meow… She uses taboo items to use her abilities, while the others use abnormal abilities with their flesh. When entering a war of attrition, the others have to avoid the possibility of abnormal abilities getting out of control and must be restrained. And that cat with astonishing talent, but is still able to maintain an unusually good state due to the reduced effect of triple consumption caused by talent abilities, taboo items, and professional skills. As the race went on, Meow not only entered the first echelon of the top ten, but even began to show a tendency to overtake… Being overtaken by a girl who’s the only age of their granddaughter/daughter, the powerful professionals naturally couldn’t bear to lose face. “How can I lose to a cub?!” So, someone got serious. But if the leader speeds up, the people behind want to keep up, they must also forcibly speed up. One by one, they curse while using their trump cards, brutally accelerating the rhythm of the race. The first echelon and the second echelon have already pulled quite far apart, and this distance is expected to grow even longer. “It’s my turn, I can’t lose too badly.” He doesn’t care about winning or losing, but since his teammates are taking it seriously, and fortunately overperformed, if he slacks off on his side, it would seem a bit embarrassing. “One two three four…” On the stands, one figure after another was teleported into the race field, Lu Ping’an silently counted. “…the Ninth!” With a flash of light, Lu Ping’an entered the field, and behind him was Meow, panting heavily, standing on the mid-point line of the stage. Without turning his head, Lu Ping’an immediately got onto his Motorcycle, stepped on the gas, and started speeding. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win. I won’t let your efforts go to waste….” While Lu Ping’an’s words were still ringing in her ears, a smile appeared at the corner of her tired Meow’s mouth. Watching Lu Ping’an’s back, she collapsed directly on the ground. She knew that this man who’s always rambling like a running train is always reliable when it comes to the crunch. This is trust that comes after going through life and death together, the trust that doesn’t need express words, until… “Boom!” Until the next second! That Motorcycle didn’t go far at all, it just made a sharp turn directly and went to the lane next door, hitting a truck that hadn’t started yet! “Crap, why are you blocking my way?! Is this how you drive a truck? Are you blind?!” Someone, in the face of a stunned truck driver, is the first to complain about an injustice.
