Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 26: Exchange for Clearance Cards

There are all sorts of item cards; as long as you have enough stars, winning the game is a breeze.

Yuanqiao said, "With a pass, who would want to compete on their own?"

[Redeem successful! Congratulations on clearing the level. You are the fourth-place winner in this PK tournament. Rewards will be calculated after the game ends.]

"32 stars left. Are you still in the game after completing it? You have to wait until the match ends to exit."

Players can hand over their vehicles to the racecourse staff for safekeeping and then ride in a sightseeing vehicle to watch the race progress.

Yuanqiao briefly explained these things to An Muya and Gao Leyu, who were standing next to him.

"What?! Yuanqiao, you cleared the game in one go!"

Gao Leyu, who only has 56 stars, expressed envy and jealousy. Just by looking at those prop cards, he knew how unserious this competition was, and he didn't even know if he could survive to drive the vehicle to the finish line.

"Senior An, do you have enough stars to exchange for a level pass?"

Anmuya: "99..."

"One star short!"

Anmuya browsed through the item cards, wondering which ones would be most useful to exchange for.

If she were to exchange for the Early Travel Card, she wouldn't have enough stars for the Location Exchange Card. After much deliberation, Anmuya decided to exchange for the Location Exchange Card.

Gao Leyu exchanged for the advance driving card, and Yuan Qiao gave them most of the supplies in the car. He kept one of the vehicle repair cards for himself, and took out the rest of the medicines, food, and batteries.

Those tens of thousands of resurrected players had far fewer advantages than others, including food, supplies, and items. Some even had their vehicles damaged and without repair cards, making it difficult for them to even drive.

Once on the sightseeing bus, the temperature inside was just right, and there was a bar where you could get free food and drinks. There were also private player booths, and Yuanqiao was lying comfortably on the sofa.

There was a large screen inside the private room displaying the real-time rankings of the PK competition.

Clicking on a name will show you the other person's driving footage. The game has already started, and Yuanqiao is watching Gao Leyu's driving livestream while drinking milk tea in a private room.

Because he set off early, his ranking is quite high, making his name easy to find. Anmuya didn't set off early, so her ranking is probably very low, among tens of thousands of people; Yuanqiao hasn't been able to find her yet.

At the start of the race, players remain on their respective tracks. Different players can be seen on both the left and right sides, but there is a virtual barrier that disappears for 10 minutes every 30 minutes.

Within ten minutes, you can use various item cards, or you can ram vehicles to eliminate your opponent.

As long as you survive and complete the final race, you'll receive a silver treasure chest as a consolation prize; there are no other penalties.

Yuanqiao lowered his eyes; the game was both merciful and cruel.

As Yuanqiao left her room to get a bowl of ice cream from the bar, she saw a bespectacled, refined-looking male player sitting at the bar.

"Hello, which player are you when you cleared the game?"

The other person seemed quite introverted, but took the initiative to greet Yuanqiao.

"My name is Starlight, and I came in third place."

Yuanqiao wasn't shy at all and answered directly:
“I’m Yuanqiao, the fourth one. Is the flavor of this yours sweet? I’d like to get a bowl too.”

The bar is automated; you put the bowl in the machine and select the flavor on the screen.

"It's alright, not too sweet." Starlight smiled shyly and then said, as if explaining her abrupt greeting.

"You look a bit like a girl I know, her name is Jinzi."

After chatting for a few minutes and not seeing any other players who had completed the game, the two returned to their respective private rooms.

The remaining stars can also be exchanged for mischievous item cards.

Yuanqiao spent 15 stars to exchange for a vehicle turn card. After using it, the player will only notice the virtual barrier disappear after driving for 30 minutes.

Use this if you see anyone bullying your own team members later.

Anmuya was driving smoothly when she received a gift card. Inside the gift card was a sachet with a refreshing scent that instantly relieved her fatigue.

With a smile in his eyes, he said it was a gift from Yuanqiao.

The first barrier disappeared after the start of the race, and the higher-ranked players were focused on driving; now was not the time to cause trouble. Xu Liwei drove slowly and helplessly; two of his tires were flat.

To make matters worse, he discovered that his vehicle's energy was almost depleted. As a resurrected player, he had no supplies and no energy batteries.

I feel a bit hopeless in this situation.

A new rule then appeared in the system.

Eliminating an opponent will earn you 2 Energy Batteries.

Eliminating five opponents will earn you 1 Vehicle Repair Card.

Upon seeing the new rules, Xu Liwei's eyes lit up, and countless ideas flashed through his mind.

Ten minutes later, the barrier was restored, and the opportunity was missed. Players with fine vehicles had already driven ahead, while the vehicles that left trails were all faulty.

Xu Liwei looked around. The vehicle on the right was in even worse condition than his own. He stared intently, waiting for the barrier to disappear next.

Yuanqiao watched the live stream and only later realized that vehicles in the PK competition also consumed energy batteries to move.

A random glance revealed that those with abundant resources were significantly ahead of the other players. Some had energy shields to protect themselves from being hit, while others had used guns and bows to blow up other players' tires.

They also help those in the next lane by handing out vehicle repair cards to help others repair their vehicles.

The content was excellent, allowing Yuanqiao to see the diversity of species.

Gao Leyu had just charged two energy batteries for the vehicle; thankfully, Yuanqiao had given him five before they set off.

Energy batteries at the star exchange point are extremely expensive; 5 stars can be exchanged for 2 energy batteries, while driving for a day requires about 6 energy batteries.

Gao Leyu also saw the new rules, and with sufficient resources, he didn't want to take the initiative to attack others.

However, some blind fools still wanted to mess with him.

The vehicle next to it looks like an SUV, and it's more imposing than Gao Leyu's red sports car.

Less than two seconds after the barrier disappeared, the opponent rushed into Gao Leyu's track and crashed into him.

Gao Leyu gripped the steering wheel and turned right. The rear of the car was hit, and the entire car lurched forward and crashed into a vehicle in the other lane.

The innocent car owner, caught in the crossfire, cursed the national treasure.

Several lanes started to become chaotic.

Gao Leyu also lost his temper. He had a repair card and an energy shield, so he used them directly.

Reverse and back up, then accelerate and charge at the off-road vehicle.

The protective shield didn't damage Gao Leyu's car, but it rammed the other vehicle, sending it spinning twice on the road and smashing half of its front end.

Pressing his advantage, Gao Leyu rammed the car several more times. Although his own car was unharmed, the feeling of being pushed back in his seat by the impact was still unpleasant.

Gao Leyu drove the vehicle closer, took out a gun, pointed it at the broken glass, and shot the driver.

Regardless of the vehicle model, the windows are bulletproof, so that only after they are shattered can one have the opportunity to shoot and kill.

After the enemy is killed, their supplies automatically appear in Gao Leyu's car.

"How dare you provoke us without weapons?"

The SUV owner didn't actually want to attack anyone, but he was out of battery power.

He exchanged his few stars for advance driving cards, forgetting that he hadn't collected many supplies in the past two days and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Looking at Gao Leyu's sports car, he thought it would be easy to wreck it.

They gave their lives for it.

The other players, seeing Gao Leyu take down an off-road vehicle, knew he was not someone to mess with.

He stopped looking down on his sports car and put his mind at ease.
