Chapter 316 Fire the Cannons at the Pirate Ship
"Honestly, this is less funny and more embarrassing! A first-class gardener's plant off-road vehicle is slower than a child's bumper car!" Vande shouted.

Guli Bo deeply reflected: "All I was thinking about was making Bo green enough..."

"The most important thing about vehicles isn't color, but speed."

"It has to be green! It absolutely has to be green, the greener the plant, the more vibrant it is!"

"Speaking of which, this leaf decoration is actually quite delicious." Qingye ate a leaf.

"Stop eating the car, Xiaoye!!!"

The Gubo Smash Car struggled to travel nearly 100 meters, while the other bumper cars had long since disappeared. Ji Huaisu angrily smashed the car in an attempt to accelerate. She heard the man next to her comment, "The so-called 'the greener the better' is typical gardener's thinking. Treating a work of art with the mindset of tending plants will naturally result in an unsatisfactory finished product."

“That makes a lot of sense, but…” Ji Huaisu glanced sideways, “wouldn’t you like to look in the mirror before criticizing others, Mr. Prosecutor?”

Prosecutor Banningtik's voice came from a hundred meters away. He wasn't the last in the line, as his car hadn't started yet. Because the steering wheel was mounted at the rear, the prosecutor inside couldn't move the car no matter what he did.

He's currently trying to touch the steering wheel with a difficult backbend! But he failed because his arms aren't long enough!
Chu Hengkong sincerely suggested, "Why don't we reinstall it first?"

"No need, I've already investigated the details of this vehicle..."

"That's a car you assembled yourself. Is it really appropriate to say that like you're inspecting evidence?"

Prosecutor Banningtik recovered from his backbend and, as he stepped out of the car, elegantly adjusted the scarf at his chest. He went to the back of the car and with a sweep of his hands, two pointed planks sprouted from beneath the pea-sized wheels. Then, Prosecutor Banningtik assumed a horse stance and gripped the steering wheel at the back of the car!
"Spear of the Divine Tree, launch!"

"You even named your car..."

Finally, the perfectly crafted vehicle started, pulling Banningtik forward like a wild horse. Then, Banningtik leaped slightly, placing each foot on a long, extended plank! He steered the runaway off-road vehicle with the grace of a seasoned hunter!

Gulibo's eyes widened in disbelief: "What does this have to do with a car? This is practically a sled, Bo!"

“This is the way a gentleman travels!” Banningtik laughed heartily, pulling out a leather whip from somewhere and lashing the carriage hard. “Now we can finally conduct safety assessments at a normal speed, and the wind is quite pleasant too, hahahahahahaha!”

"You prosecutor, you're having more fun than the tourists, you scoundrel!"

Ji Huaisu watched Banningtik's departing figure and said with worry, "This way we'll really be in last place."

"No." Chu Hengkong clenched his fist. "I...don't want to..."

"Alright, buddy, I know you don't want to lose. Please, someone come up with a plan before this madman goes berserk!"

"Leave it to me," Qingxia said confidently. "I'll make this combat truck reach its full potential!"

"Qingxia, did you learn any other plant-based stimulant techniques?" Ji Huaisu asked curiously.

"No, I'll use a virus."

"……Why?"

"Hmm?" Qingxia tilted her head.

Ten seconds later, the children in front felt a gust of wind from behind. Turning around, they saw the "Goo-boo Smash Car" suddenly surge forward, its ferocity resembling a plague-ridden pig with its rear end on fire. Inside the Smash Car, laughter filled the air: "I'm carsick!" "Hahaha, so fast!" "My butt's on fire..." "Holy crap, this car's on fire!!"

The Gubo Smash Car is visibly transforming from a farm-style armored tractor into a high-octane street-racing machine, its rear half turning a vibrant red, with crimson particles constantly being released from its exhaust pipe as it drives. The Qingxia virus has driven the Smash Car to unleash its full potential, even at the cost of self-destruction; at this moment, it's moving at a speed comparable to a Formula One race car! And as the price, the car is burning with a self-destructive force!

Qingxia stepped onto the hood of the vehicle and exclaimed excitedly, "From now on, this vehicle will be renamed Red Hare! Just like the mythical rabbit in the legend, it will become incredibly fast when it catches fire!"

Chu Hengkong couldn't hold back any longer: "Red Hare is a horse! Just like you, it's a horse!!"

Qingxia was shocked upon hearing this: "What did you say..."

"Didn't I give you a proper explanation of the Three Kingdoms from beginning to end? Why would you still have such a common-sense misunderstanding?!"

"But Chu Hengkong, you didn't say that Red Hare was a horse."

"I..." Chu Hengkong felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, "You..."

Qingxia pondered, "I was wondering how General Lü rode a rabbit into battle... So Red Hare was a horse? Does that mean Dilu was also a horse?"

"Tell me first what you originally thought Lu was."

"Judging from its ability to leap across the Tanxi River, which is several meters wide, it must be an extremely large flying fish."

"It's amazing that you could come up with the fish knight Liu Bei!"

Chu Hengkong involuntarily imagined Liu Bei riding a flying fish and Guan Yu riding a giant rabbit galloping across the battlefield. His imaginative mind even filled in the blank with a fierce Zhang Fei riding a wild boar. This bizarre image made his vision go black, and he wished he could erase half a minute of his memory to avoid contaminating his brain.

The appearance of this unusual vehicle also had a significant impact in reality. Prosecutor Banningtick immediately pulled out his notebook and quickly wrote: "There is a fire safety hazard in the plant assembly process..."

Vande squinted: "Can you please wake up, Prosecutor? You're in the Divine Tree City-State. Show me something non-flammable here!" Banningtik paused, his face darkening, and changed his pen: "Upon being reminded, the Thorn Robe City-State has significant fire safety hazards..."

"I didn't ask you to change the range, you idiot."

"...I recommend conducting a city-wide fire hazard inspection next month." Banningtik concluded. "Please stop that burning vehicle immediately! Your actions have seriously threatened the municipal safety of Jingsha!"

Vande slapped his eye, thinking that there was absolutely no room for rebuttal on that one sentence. He whispered a reminder: "Shouldn't we put out the fire first..."

"Gulibo, can we test fire this cannon?" The only knight who could splash water asked in an innocent and cute tone.

"Sure, I've prepared bomb pumpkins as cannonballs!" the little animal replied in an even purer and more harmless tone.

"And then they started dealing with weapons! Do you guys even have any self-awareness about being in an amusement park?"

"But we do need weapons for the road ahead."

Vande took out his leopard-gazing tube and saw various glittering snacks and candies appearing on the road ahead. These "drops" were arranged at very guiding intervals, all pointing to different race routes. A few floating candies were even marked with clear numerical scores, and Xiaoye was using a machine gun to fire a net at them one by one.

"In other words, it's the Ma X Ao racing car," Chu Hengkong said.

"Moscow racing probably doesn't allow cars with such supermodel-like features to participate in races..."

Objectively speaking, the track design is ingenious, and the reward distribution is reasonable, even comparable to maps in the game. However, the Red Hare Smash Car is simply too large and too fast, causing it to snatch up all the reward food in the four lanes ahead. The other toy cars couldn't even get a scrap.

The kids on the next track were already sulking. "This is so unfair!" "Make that car retire!" "That awful gardener..."

Ji Huaisu poked his head out, not to be outdone: "This is the power of an adult, hahahahaha!"

"Hey, there are shameful adults arguing with kids here. Can you please control your girlfriend?"

Chu Hengkong gently advised, "We should concentrate our efforts on getting the more difficult prizes."

"Speaking of high difficulty..." Qingye peered through the lookout hole, "There's a big reward at a 65° angle ahead!"

“That…” Vande muttered, “That thing does have a high score, but… it should be a reward for the next round, right?”

At the center of the scope was a pirate ship floating in the sky, about 5,000 meters away from the group. The ship was painted with an extremely tempting, glittering gold "1000".

·
On the airborne pirate ship, the man in the suit put away his binoculars, and the voice of another assassin came through his earpiece.

"What is Young Master Chu doing?"

“You know, I made a lot of decisions before taking on this surveillance mission. I thought Snake must have a purpose for coming here, and we would be able to glean the enemy’s next move from him,” the man in the suit said. “But it seems that he just came out to have fun with women. My biggest takeaway is that I learned he’s cheating on me.”

A loud cough came through the earpiece: "Huh? Him? Cheating?"

The man in the suit picked up his binoculars and glanced at her: "Not only is she cheating, she's having affairs with three men at the same time."

To make his point more convincing, he emphasized: "Three boats!"

“My God, I really can’t imagine… You should have taken a picture. If you mess this up, we can use the evidence of the Snake of Life’s infidelity to buy our lives,” the man behind the earpiece urged him.

“Forget it. The snake probably won’t care about sparing your life, but he’s bound to kill me,” the man in the suit said. “That’s what makes this mission interesting.”

NO.7 wasn't here today. The woman cut off all communication immediately after receiving the news, intending to play the coward to the end, but she knew the other party would eventually come. Compared to that manic-depressive guy, NO.5 was much more decisive. This man named Guo Yutu didn't have a blood feud with Verus, which was perhaps why he dared to act.

The man in the suit adjusted his binoculars: "Are you sure this surveillance camera is working properly? I'm terrified that a snake might suddenly turn its head and stare at me."

“I don’t have any surveillance cameras; the ones watching him are the surveillance cameras at Feiyan Amusement Park. I just ran a cable through the surveillance system, and that cable went through 37 relay stations to reach my studio in the third pulse sequence, and then through three layers of firewalls before reaching your binoculars,” Guo Yutu said. “If Young Master Chu can even detect this, it means his aura is so sharp that he can sense even a single extra twitch in a cell of the divine plant’s camera. If he’s that strong, I suggest we forget about any missions and just jump into the sea together and commit suicide; that would be faster.”

"So the surveillance footage is working properly."

"No problem. The reason your image quality is so bad is because I don't dare to take any risks. I also chose the observation point in advance. They won't make contact with the pirate ship until the second half of their flight, which is more than enough time to gather intelligence."

“Very well. So, automata expert.” The man in the suit lowered his binoculars. “Could you explain what I just saw?”

"Let me see……"

Guo Yutu, far away in the third vein, choked for the second time: "What do you mean by a pumpkin bomb flying in from five thousand meters away?!"

The man in the suit jumped off the pirate ship without hesitation. The next moment, the pumpkin bomb cannon struck the ship's hull, causing the treasure inside to spill out prematurely, creating a rain of candy above the amusement park. A glittering 1000-point number flew towards the speeding Red Hare. The knight lady waved her fist: "Hit!"

"Bad news, Snake's new girlfriend is also a lunatic."

"The future looks bleak," the assassins said in unison.
