Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 235 Snow Leopard-II Off-Road Motorcycle
Player black market, underground warehouse.

The moment Lao Ma turned on the light, the fluorescent lights on the ceiling lit up in stages, and a row of brand-new off-road motorcycles came into view, dazzling everyone instantly.

'Holy crap...'

My heart was pounding. These off-road motorcycles looked like something out of a science fiction movie. The price must be astronomical!

"Ding Han, come with me."

Old Ma led me directly to the end of the warehouse and stood in front of a futuristic motorcycle with a very appealing paint job. It looked quite like the truck version of Optimus Prime from the live-action Transformers movies, with its red and blue colors exuding a powerful feel.

"This is the best off-road motorcycle in the area."

Old Ma smiled with no small amount of pride, and then said as if reciting a familiar list: "The new product from the world's best car manufacturing company, the Snow Leopard-II, is equipped with a 1550cc twin-cylinder LC8 engine, with a maximum power of nearly 200 horsepower, a maximum torque of 145 Nm, and a wheel speed limit of 7500 rpm!"

He stroked the motorcycle with obvious delight and continued, "This thing uses WP XPLOR fully adjustable front forks and M PDS progressive shock absorbers, and comes standard with 21-inch front tires and 18-inch rear off-road tires. The grip and stability are top-notch. To be honest, I work here every day and I wish I could have one for myself!"

My lips twitched slightly: "That sounds impressive, but what about the price? If it's too expensive, I won't consider it."

"Not expensive at all."

Old Ma said, "It's only 180 million!"

"That's all!?"

I almost exploded on the spot. This thing is almost half the size of a Maybach S680! Old Ma actually said it was just a joke. These unscrupulous businessmen really don't tell the truth.

However, when I'm operating alone, this new Snow Leopard will be a great help, saving me a lot of trouble, whereas the Maybach is not. It's unrealistic to drive a Maybach into the wilderness to kill aliens and the Dark Tide organization.

"Can it be cheaper?"

"With my authority, I can get you a discount of 175 million. Seriously, it can't be any cheaper. The cost of buying it is already ridiculously high, and there's only one of these in the entire Huaining City black market."

Old Ma's eyes were sincere: "Ding Han, I really didn't lie to you. This car is really expensive, but it performs well. You definitely won't regret buying it. In a few years, you'll find that the price of this car hasn't dropped at all. Then you'll know that I didn't lie to you."

"Fine!"

I frowned: "But I don't have enough money. Here's some equipment I can sell to you."

"Okay!"

So the two of them started trading equipment on the spot. Of course, this fresh equipment was something Xueying had just acquired not long ago.

The three most valuable items are a purple submachine gun, a purple psychic scepter, and a ring with a 2.4-second invincibility burst skill. The rest are some minor blue-quality items.

Xueying's equipment wasn't particularly good; it was only considered mid-to-lower tier. I don't know where he got the courage to come to Huaining City to kill me. It's probably because the Chinese players he encountered in the wilderness were all relatively weak, which made him so arrogant.

In the end, Lao Ma did the math. All the items dropped by Snow Eagle were added together, and the total price was 125 million. Then I took out 50 from my storage space to make up the difference. After that, Lao Ma gave me a 10% discount. So, after all that back and forth, when the transaction was finally completed, my little treasury was 32.5 less, which was still acceptable.

"okay."

Old Ma tossed me the keys to the off-road motorcycle and laughed, "You can drive it away now."

Did I say I was going to drive away?

I measured the length of the snow leopard's body; it was about two meters long. My extradimensional storage space could just fit it. So I gripped the load-bearing parts of the body with both hands and shouted, "With strength to uproot mountains and spirit to cover the world!"

"What the hell?!"

Old Ma took a few steps back, stunned: "Ding Han, what the hell are you doing?!"

The next second, I picked up the off-road motorcycle and gently placed it in the other-dimensional storage space.

“Worri!!!”

Old Ma looked like he'd seen a ghost: "Your extradimensional storage space is way too big!"

"Fuss!"

I glanced at him, then pulled out ten Star Coins and handed them to Old Ma, saying, "Give me two cases of gasoline for backup."

"OK!"

Soon after, the gasoline was also stored in the storage space. At this point, the storage space was a bit crowded. It seems that the acquisition of expansion crystals cannot be stopped!
As I left the underground warehouse, I sent a message to Gun Like a Dragon: "Leader Dragon, are you in the black market?"

"Yes, would you like to come in for tea?"

"Why are you drinking tea in the middle of the night? Let's meet up, I have something to tell you."

"Then you still have to come over for tea."

"..."

I was speechless for a moment, then stepped into the tea room. Sure enough, the man with the spear, who looked like a greasy middle-aged man, was wearing a string of beads and had a jade pendant around his neck. There was also an incense burner on the altar next to him. He poured me tea and said with a smile, "What's the matter? It's the middle of the night."

"It's no big deal."

I plopped down, picked up the tea he poured and drank it all in one gulp. Then I took out the USB drive from my storage space and said, "You already know that I just killed a Dark Tide white player outside the black market not long ago, right?"

“I know.” Gun Like a Dragon said, “The body has been sent out for autopsy. The Guide wants to know the person’s identity and what Dark Tide’s next plan is.”

Here, take this USB drive.

I pushed the USB drive over and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry about researching it. This person is a Dark Tide player, belonging to the Dark Tide Psionic Officer organization. He was most likely on a mission to infiltrate Huaining City to kill me. This is the USB drive I found on him. I've already cracked it. It contains a lot of coordinates and data from Dark Tide's laboratory in the wilderness."

"No way?"

Gun-Dragon frowned: "How could such an important USB drive end up in the hands of such a novice player?"

"do not know."

I shook my head: "Perhaps he obtained it during one of Dark Tide's missions, or maybe this person wanted to steal Dark Tide's secrets to sell for money or something, who knows? But the end result is that this USB drive has fallen into our hands. You should hand over this USB drive. I believe it will be of some help to the Crimson Dragon Kingdom in dealing with Dark Tide. I think the Crimson Dragon Kingdom should at least take down all the Dark Tide bases near its territory, especially those around Xicheng, otherwise Dark Tide will really think that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom is easy to bully."

"Yes, there are too many things involved in this."

Gun Chu Rulong grinned: "Although the Minister of Defense's speech last time was very pleasing, the upper echelons of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom may not be a monolithic entity. There are supporters and opponents of waging war against the Dark Tide. I even suspect that some people in the upper echelons are doing business with the Dark Tide and have colluded with it. It's all uncertain. Moreover, the Star Maple Federation is on the side of the Dark Tide. It's also uncertain whether our upper echelons have been infiltrated."

"Damn, this is really complicated..."

I frowned: "As an ordinary player, sometimes I really don't want to care about these things at all. If only I could just fight and kill."

"fine."

Gunshot Like a Dragon said, "I will submit this USB drive directly to the intelligence agency in Huaining City. I don't know what kind of impact it will have. As players, we will just do our best."

"alright."

I stood up and said, "Then you continue drinking. I'm leaving; I have something to take care of."

……

After leaving the office where he was as sharp as a dragon, he took a deep breath and then took out his phone to send a message to Lin Qingying: "Qingying, I'll be away for a day or two. Take care of yourself."

"You too, be careful!"

Lin Qingying replied quickly, and her reply was pointed.

She's so smart, could she have already guessed my identity as a player?

That's actually quite possible...

Without further thought, I headed straight to the underground teleportation array and selected the teleportation point outside Creek City. I decided not to rest tonight and would take advantage of the darkness to rescue Irelia in one fell swoop!
"Shh!"

With a flash, he appeared in the wilderness outside Xicheng.

……

"brother!"

Not far away, someone shouted, "Want to go kill some aliens on the Tidal Coast? Want to join? We're one short, just need a front-line tank, wanna come?"

I looked over and saw a few level 40 players who had just completed their fourth job advancement. Judging from their equipment, they were all basically wearing blue gear, and some even had a hint of green light. However, all four of them had a hint of hostility in their eyes, so they didn't seem like serious players.

"Oh, is it so?"

I smiled slightly, stepped out of the teleportation array, and appeared in the wilderness with the words "Chasing Shadows" appearing above my head.

"I rely on..."

One of them shuddered and said sullenly, "So it's the great master Zhu Ying... Never mind, never mind, the great master definitely won't level up with us noobs."

I smiled, turned around and left.

These four people are mostly "pests" among players. After teaming up with a player who isn't too strong, they go to the wilderness and immediately start a PvP battle to kill the opponent and get all the loot, thus improving their own strength.

I had heard from Cai Cai and others that such people existed before, and some players had fallen victim to them and died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

I couldn't be sure if they were those kinds of people, and they wouldn't give me the chance to verify, so I ignored them and focused on saving Irelia!

In the wilderness, I simply took out my off-road motorcycle.

"Shh!"

I skillfully mounted the bike, and with a roar of the engine, I rode into the fertile fields. As expected of a high-end bike, it was extremely fast and quite stable!

Open the large map, mark the location of Laboratory 205, and then, leaving a trail of dust, ride your off-road motorcycle straight to your destination!

……

One o'clock.

I turned off the lights on my off-road motorcycle, and in the distance, I could see a building standing in the moonlight. It was the 205 Laboratory belonging to Dark Tide. We had arrived!

I quickly turned off the engine, put the off-road motorcycle into the storage space, and then, carrying the Winter AMR, I kept approaching in the night. I turned on the night vision system, and sure enough, on the outer perimeter facing my direction, there were two Dark Tide Sentinels crouching on two trees about 50 meters apart.
