Chen Xing took the jade box, which was warm to the touch.

He opened a crack, and a surge of intense fire energy instantly poured out.

This caused the Qi and blood of the "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven" within his body to stir slightly.

It's definitely a good product.

"Thank you." Chen Xing closed the jade box, put it into his spatial ring, and nodded to Zhao Feng.

His attitude remained calm, but Zhao Feng saw this calmness as making him appear even more composed and extraordinary.

"Of course, of course."

Zhao Feng waved his hand repeatedly, his attitude becoming increasingly polite.

"If you need anything in the future, whether it's intelligence, supplies, or assistance with missions."

"Come find me at the base station. Linjiang City Base Station will always welcome Chen Xing."

At this point, the staff had also completed the transfer.

Chen Xing's phone vibrated slightly; a bank transfer notification popped up.

+11,340,000.00 Dragon Kingdom Coins.

11.34 million arrived instantly.

In addition to the several hundred thousand yuan he had left in his account, and the scholarship given by Lu Ya.

His current personal assets have exceeded twelve million!

"Brother Xing!!! We're rich!!! 11.34 million!!!"

"The money's in!!! You're a multi-millionaire now!!! (≧▽≦)"

Xiao Xiao's excited, distorted voice screamed in Chen Xing's mind.

Chen Xing's lips twitched slightly, and he replied to Xiao Xiao with two words: "Keep a low profile."

He put away his phone and nodded to Zhao Feng again.

Then he picked up the Sky-Splitting Cudgel, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the hall.

Chen Xing got into the driver's seat of the Mammoth V-type SUV and closed the door.

The noisy crowd outside the base station.

The flashing lights and countless probing gazes remained outside.

He glanced through the dusty car window at the still-commotion outside.

"Brother Xing, aren't we taking the high-speed train back? It's business class! It's spacious and comfortable, and we can get Crazy Lu to reimburse us! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

Xiao Xiao's voice came from the wrist recorder, tinged with confusion.

Chen Xing's gaze swept over the rugged and powerful interior of the car.

The wide steering wheel, the heavy armored body, and the solid outline outside the window.

This car accompanied him for two weeks as he drove through the wilderness, experiencing sandstorms and crushing gravel.

Having withstood the onslaught of the monsters, even though it was just rented, it was indeed easy and reassuring to drive.

"This car is nice."

Chen Xing said something casually, turned the key, and started the engine.

Buzz—Boom—!

A deep, powerful roar filled the car, causing the vehicle to vibrate slightly.

The exhilarating power is transmitted through the steering wheel and seats, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride than a high-speed train.

It has gained a bit more control and wildness.

"what?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and her pixelated eyes instantly brightened to be comparable to car headlights.

"Brother Xing! You're going to buy it?! This 'Mammoth-V' off-road vehicle."

"This car's maintenance history and actual condition are absolutely top-notch!"

"The market price for this new car is at least 1.2 million Chinese Yuan!"

"Although this car is a bit old, it has been modified well and is in excellent condition."

"With a little haggling, we can definitely get it for under a million!"

"Moreover, these military-grade vehicles have great modification potential, are durable and reliable, and will definitely turn heads on the road! (✪ω✪)"

Chen Xing held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other.

Click on the contact information for Zhao Feng, the supervisor of the Linjiangcheng base station.

I sent a short message:

[Manager Zhao, Mammoth SUV, for sale?]

Messages replied instantly:

[Is Chen Xing interested? Although this vehicle is public property, according to regulations, decommissioned vehicles can be disposed of internally.]

[You know the car's condition; a fixed price of 900,000.]

【I'll handle all the paperwork, including the transfer of ownership, insurance, and annual vehicle inspection—I'll take care of everything. What do you think?】

Zhao Feng was clearly a smart man; he knew that using this car to do Chen Xing a favor was far more important than the hundreds of thousands of yuan price difference.

Chen Xing: [Okay. Send me the account details.]

Thirty seconds later, Chen Xing's mobile banking app displayed a successful transfer notification: -900,000.00 Dragon Kingdom Coins.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Feng sent over the complete electronic transfer documents and insurance policy.

And one sentence:

[Chen Xing, the paperwork is complete, and the vehicle information has been updated to your name. Welcome back anytime!]

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Xiao also received the updated vehicle data.

A virtual license plate selection interface was projected onto Chen Xing's phone screen:

"Brother Xing, pick a license plate number! I recommend this one: [Shenzhen A·JX001]."

JX is the first letter of the pinyin for "Extreme".

It can also be associated with awakening, while 001 represents the starting point.

Chen Xing nodded.

Shift into gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator.

The heavy "Mammoth" roared and slowly drove away from the Linjiang City base station parking lot.

They merged into the sparse traffic on the highway outside the city and headed towards Shenzhen.

As night deepened, the desolate highway was shrouded in endless darkness on both sides.

Only the headlights pierced through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead.

The car was quiet, with only the steady roar of the engine and tire noise.

Xiao Xiao seems to still be processing and digesting the massive amount of combat data Chen Xing has collected over the past two weeks.

Occasionally, it would let out a suppressed gasp or two, or report some trivial road condition information.

Chen Xing remained silent for most of the time, with one hand resting on the steering wheel.

His gaze was calmly fixed on the road ahead.

However, their minds remained instinctively vigilant.

……

After driving for about two hours, we entered a section of barren Gobi desert on both sides.

Remote sections of roads in rare villages and towns.

Chen Xing's brow twitched slightly.

His gaze swept towards the center rearview mirror.

In the mirror, about one kilometer behind.

Two bright headlights shone steadily, maintaining that distance at all times.

The car appeared shortly after he left the Linjiang City base station.

He deliberately changed his speed at several intersections and bends.

The car adjusted accordingly, following closely like a persistent boil, neither too close nor too far.

"Brother Xing,"

Xiao Xiao noticed it too; a voice echoed in Chen Xing's mind, tinged with a hint of wariness.

"That car behind us...it seems like it's been following us ever since we left the city."

"Should we speed up and shake them off? The mammoth's top speed makes it easy to leave ordinary cars behind on this kind of road."

Chen Xing's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at the two stubborn headlights in the rearview mirror.

After a two-second silence, he said calmly:

"No need. Let's see where they came from."

He neither sped up nor deliberately provoked.

I was just maintaining a normal cruising speed, but my mind was already mostly occupied with it.

Perception spread backward like an invisible spider web, trying to capture more information about the car—

The car model, the engine sound, and the general atmosphere inside the car.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the night was too deep.

All that can be determined is that it is a high-performance black SUV, and there seems to be more than one person inside.

His aura was restrained and elusive.

The other party was clearly an expert, with skillful tracking techniques.

Always maintain that safe distance.

It neither gets too close to arouse strong alert, nor loses track of the target.

And so, the two vehicles traveled nearly a hundred kilometers, one after the other, on the dark, desolate highway.

The atmosphere was eerie yet calm.

Until a fork in the road appeared ahead.

The main road continues north, leading to cities further north.

The other is a relatively narrow secondary road that winds its way toward Shenzhen.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.

Just as he was about to cross the intersection, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator hard!

Whoosh—boom—!

The mammoth roared furiously, its massive body carving a sharp arc across the road.

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, and the car tilted slightly to one side.

Then it abruptly turned onto the secondary highway leading to Shenzhen!

Hurry up and leave!

The black SUV behind clearly hadn't expected Chen Xing to suddenly turn so drastically at the fork in the road.

It hesitated visibly for a moment, its speed suddenly decreased, and it paused at the intersection for two or three seconds.

Through the Mammoth's rearview mirror, Chen Xing could see the car's headlights swaying at the intersection.

It seemed the people inside the car were having a heated discussion.

Ultimately, the black SUV did not follow.

The headlights turned, and the car continued north along the main road, quickly disappearing from view in the rearview mirror.

"Phew...did I shake them off?"
