I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

Why?

"We must ask about the cup first."

"What is a 'Question Cup'?" Shen Chilie's eyes were filled with the question, "What does that mean?"

"It's about asking the gods for their will; there should be a cup here."

Qin Yuanshan began searching around: "Everyone, look for it too. It's two crescent-shaped pieces of wood, one side flat and the other bulging."

Finally, Qin Yuanshan found it under the incense table.

The two wooden cups were covered in dust, clearly indicating they hadn't been used for a long time.

Qin Yuanshan wiped them clean and showed them to the others: "These flat and drum-shaped surfaces are also called the yin and yang sides. The divination cups are thrown out. If one cup is heads and the other is tails, it means the gods agree. If two cups are heads, it means the time is not right or the question has not been asked clearly. If two cups are tails, it means the gods disagree or refuse."

"Then who should ask?"

As soon as the question was raised, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Yuanshan.

Qin Yuanshan chuckled sheepishly and touched his nose: "Well... maybe it's my mouth... it's just..."

understood.

"Then Huo Yunzhi, you can do it."

Wen Zhaoye made the final decision: "Logically speaking, shouldn't the patriarch be the one to surrender? We are all of the same generation, but without Huo Yunzhi, we would all perish here today."

"I agree!" Qin Yuanshan immediately echoed loudly.

"I think so too."

"no problem."

"Alright."

Huo Yunzhi didn't refuse, took the cup and jujube from Qin Yuanshan, knelt on the futon that Su Anning had brought, and prayed with the cup as Qin Yuanshan had instructed, then threw the cup and jujube.

The wood chips fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Seven pairs of eyes all looked at the floor.

One positive and one negative, one yin and one yang.

The Holy Grail! This can be accomplished!

Wen Zhaoye immediately perked up: "Everyone, grab your things and get ready to go!"

As Miao Miao struck the gongs and drums, the originally heavy palanquin instantly became an ordinary palanquin, which was carried out of the back hall by Huo Yunzhi and the others.

"Sister Xiuxiu, firecrackers!"

Xu Xiu responded, lit a string of firecrackers and threw it out, then ran outside, calculating the speed of the palanquin, and lit the firecrackers that had appeared on both sides of the road at some unknown time.

The joyous sound of firecrackers instantly filled the entire old house.

Without the vengeful ghosts blocking their way, Huo Yunzhi and her companions didn't need to make way or solve any puzzles, and they arrived at the entrance of the old house in just about half an hour.

The moment the palanquin carrying the deity stepped out of the entrance gate.

[Congratulations to players Crayon Shin-chan Eyes, Steel Wolf, I Have a Logic Cat, Bang Bang Gives You Two Punches, The Best is Like Water, Ruthless Rice Machine, and I Don't Want a Lot of Money for clearing the SSS-level dungeon, Qiao Family Mansion. The total time for the dungeon was 01:28:38, setting a new record for the fastest clear of this dungeon.]

A server-wide announcement will be released shortly; rewards will be distributed after you leave the instance.

[Note that after the countdown to the instance closing appears, highway time will be used.]

Upon hearing this voice, Huo Yunzhi and her group exchanged bewildered glances, none of them quite daring to believe it.

Only when the palanquin and various parade items disappeared from their hands, the gate of the old house closed, and the countdown to the dungeon closing in one hour appeared in the waiting area, did they believe that they had successfully cleared the dungeon.

"That's it... over?" Xu Xiu asked, somewhat bewildered.

"But rather, it's finally over!"

Having been highly focused and constantly using his brain, Wen Zhaoye was exhausted and all he wanted to do was go back to his vehicle and get a good night's sleep.

"I wonder what the reward will be like."

"After all, it's an SSS-level dungeon, the rewards are bound to be pretty good. Maybe it can even upgrade your vehicle to level three!"

"Wait!" Shen Chilie realized he hadn't gotten what he was really looking forward to: "What about the next model for highways?"

Shen Chilie's words reminded everyone that round after round of recharging had made them almost forget their original purpose for coming to this instance.

Wen Zhaoye was no longer sleepy. He walked around the preparation area and finally looked at the closing countdown at the door.

"Let's wait until the countdown ends. It might not be announced until later. Leaving early will only mean missing out."

"Wow, this is just like the post-credits scene in a movie!"

"We've already come this far, one more hour won't make a difference."

Su Anning sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a small square box from her system backpack, which had a familiar pattern drawn on it.

"How about a thrilling game of turtle-slinging?"

Huo Yunzhi and the others exchanged glances and sat down in perfect unison: "Come on."

The ensuing turtle-drawing game was a true testament to everyone's unique skills.

Wen Zhaoye only glanced at the cards, but he remembered all the cards that others had thrown out. Su Anning and Qin Yuanshan couldn't remember the cards, but they were lucky. Xu Xiu could tell whether the card she had chosen was a "turtle" just by observing the expressions of others.

In the end, only Shen Chilie, Miao Miao, and Huo Yunzhi remained, evenly matched... their faces covered with notes.

[00:05:00 remaining until the dungeon ends]

With five minutes left in the countdown, the notification sound finally rang again, indicating that the dungeon was about to end.

[Data aggregation complete. We will now begin settling accounts for the duplicates.]

Wen Zhaoye breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it."
