Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Hurry up!!"

"Faster!!"

At that moment, the people on the bus kept shouting.

Peppa Pig panted as it ran in the direction Chen Daozai pointed out. It did indeed increase the speed of the bus considerably, and everyone saw a glimmer of hope.

The little monk Nanjia sat cross-legged in the car, transforming into a cheerleader captain, enthusiastically encouraging Peppa Pig!

"The Buddha's power is immeasurable; none of the gods, humans, or any other sentient beings can comprehend it. The Buddha's power is fearless, his liberation from all samadhis, and all his other teachings are beyond measure..."

Peppa held her breath, her eyes wide open.

"Little monk, stop chanting!"

"I'm about to break down!!"

Nan Jia awkwardly shut up.

"I'm sorry, all I know is chanting scriptures..."

After a pause, everyone suddenly realized that it had become much darker overhead.

Nan Jia looked up.

His face was deathly pale.

"Oh no!"

"The 'little brat' is here!"

Looking up, they saw a missile, over a kilometer in diameter, hurtling towards them from the distance overhead...

This scene completely terrified the viewers in Zhao Yi's live stream!

Is this a 'low yield'?

That could probably raze a whole country to the ground!

"Hurry up, Peppa!!!"

Nan Jia shouted loudly.

"I still need to go to the Divine Tower, I still need to save the world, I still need to vanquish demons and uphold justice, I can't fall here!"

Paige sensed a deadly threat, and with the bus stop sign in front of Liucheng almost within reach, Paige let out a frantic squeal:

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"

The middle-aged woman on the bus excitedly replied:

"Bebebebebebebe!"

Zhao Yi also clapped along to the beat, giving an impromptu performance on the spot.

Nan Jia, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

The viewers in the live stream were even more stunned:

"Nip the horse!"

"Is there even one normal person left on this bus?!"

"Damn it, a missile is right on your heads! Singing and dancing at a time like this is really weird!"

"Get serious!!"

"I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved!"

Finally, just as the "little brat" was about to reach the top of everyone's heads, Peppa successfully dragged the bus into the range of the license plate!

The system's voice rang out at that instant:

[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi for completing the side quest "Life or Death Race"!]

[Rewards will be sent to players' in-game mailboxes!]

...

[Item: Gravity Gun (M-29)]

[Quality: Purple]

[Description: Inspired by Gantz, the inventor created a replica of the M-29. Compared to Gantz's gravity gun, the M-29 has no delay, operates on a single target range, and does not affect the surrounding environment.]

[Effect: Select a unit and fire at it. Upon activation, the unit will immediately experience 100 times its own weight, and any damage dealt during this time will be converted into magical damage! (Effective on spirits)]

[Inventor's Note: The M-29 was invented to treat constipation in some powerful giants. I simply wanted to break down the stubborn filth inside their bodies. When I was brought before the highest military court for trial, I never imagined that my buyer would use the M-29 to wage war...]

...

Your sin score has been reset to zero. (Including your team)

After the system broadcast a series of messages, the 'little kid' not far behind Zhao Yi and his group immediately stopped, then slowly took off and flew back...

It was a weapon used to bomb criminals.

Now that Zhao Yi's team's sin value has been reset to zero, "Little Kid" has lost his target and has returned the way he came.

"Damn it!"

"I almost got to meet a double-agent!"

Paige collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Since it became Zhao Yi's mount, his life has become much more exciting.

He's either being chased or on his way to be chased!

"We...survived!"

Having survived the ordeal, Peiqi didn't forget to boast to Zhao Yi about her good deeds.

Zhao Yi gave it a few perfunctory words, then threw Peppa Pig into the system's containment space to go to sleep.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Chen Daozai took a cigarette butt from the recess next to the driver's seat, pretended to take a puff, and then put it back.

"If it weren't for you, I would be in big trouble now..."

Zhao Yi shrugged and said:

"Forget the formalities, just tell us how to get to the Northern Divine Tower."

"Or you could just take us there directly."

Chen Daozai smiled wryly:

"In the past, I certainly could have taken you there."

"But that's not possible now."

Zhao Yi asked curiously:

Why?

Chen Daozai looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle:

"Because there's a large city we have to pass through on the way to the Northern Divine Tower, called Racing City. I used to be the coolest guy in that city, known as: the Old Lady Killer!"

"With my irresistible charm, I could strike a pose and countless old women on the street would faint..."

Speaking of those days, Chen Daozai swaggered and flicked his hair, which hadn't been washed for who knows how many years.

Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall.

Zhao Yi and Nan Jia took two steps back simultaneously, moving out of the area covered by snowflakes.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, we know you were pretty awesome back in the day... but can you get to the point?"

Chen Daozai chuckled sheepishly and said:

"Later, I borrowed money from online lenders to open a racetrack, but the business was bad and I lost it all. I couldn't pay back the money, so I had to run away and start driving a bus."

Zhao Yi: "..."

Nan Jia: "..."

As a sensible person, Zhao Yi immediately understood Chen Daozai's predicament.

"So... how much money do you owe?"

Chen Daozai counted on his fingers carefully, then held up five fingers:

"If I'm not mistaken... it should be this number."

Zhao Yi:

"Five million?"

Chen Daozai:

"Five hundred billion."

Zhao Yi, who was about to offer to help pay back the money, immediately shut his mouth.

Damn it.

Chen Daozai glanced at Zhao Yi's chest pocket.

"Mr. Zhao, could I have a cigarette?"

Zhao Yi handed him one.

ignition.

Chen Daozai took a drag of his cigarette, his tone becoming slightly more serious:

"One more question: the road to the Divine Tower is extremely dangerous; countless pilgrims have died along the way. You don't look like a pilgrim. Why do you want to go there?"

Zhao Yi casually said:

"Because I have something very important to do."

Chen Daozai froze, his fingers holding the cigarette trembling slightly.

"Is it something important?"

"Is it more important than your life?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"I can't say which is more important... but I'm willing to fight to the death."

Chen Daozai also laughed:

"You're getting me all fired up."

"Unfortunately, I'm just a bus driver..."

"I don't remember the route to the Northern Divine Tower very clearly, but it will definitely pass through the City of Racing. You can buy a train ticket in Liucheng and go to the City of Racing. You might be able to find out about the route to the Northern Divine Tower there."

Zhao thanked him, and Chen Daozai got on his dilapidated bus, ready to take the middle-aged woman away.

Before leaving, Chen Daozai called Zhao Yi back again. He took out the jar filled with three-legged toads from under the driver's seat, took one out, handed it to Zhao Yi, and said with a smile:

"This might come in handy when you get to the racing city."

Zhao Yi took the toad.

...

[Item: Three-legged toad]

【Quality: Special】

[Synopsis: What use could a three-legged toad possibly have?]

...

Carrying Chen Daozai's toad, Zhao Yi and Nan Jia headed towards the city.

After watching the two enter the city, Chen Daozai extinguished the cigarette he had half-smoked, stared at it intently for a long time, and carefully placed it in the dashboard drawer.

Like holding a delicacy.

"Master Chen, wouldn't it be too late to take me home now?"

The woman was a little uneasy.

She still doesn't want a divorce.

Chen Daozai tilted his head, smiled at the older woman, as if speaking to her, yet also as if speaking to himself:

"It's not too late... there's still time."
