Chapter 397 Rules of Mischievousness
At six o'clock in the morning, before Lu Youyou was fully awake, the bed beneath her was replaced with an airbag car.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw Denny sitting in the passenger seat, which immediately woke her up.
"Why are you sitting in my car? And when did this beat-up car get a passenger seat?"
Dennis said matter-of-factly, "The adults gave the notice last night that we can form teams now. The number of seats in the airbag vehicle will increase by the number of people in each team."
"what?"
Lu Youyou opened her watch and indeed saw a notification on the main screen.
The new team mode for the Fog Bumper Cars allows all team members to share one airbag car. Rule cards are randomly distributed, and points are awarded for each collision, increasing with each player.
Example: Your rule card states that you get 2 points for bumping into one person, so if you bump into a team of 10, you'll get a total of 20 points.
The message notification appeared to be from three hours ago.
How sleepy must I be to not hear my watch vibrate to alert me?
"Here, these are our rule cards."
Denny picked up a card from under his feet and handed it to Lu Youyou.
[5 points are awarded for knocking down one person. The scoring condition is that any teammate shouts "Little cripple!" after the collision.]
What kind of twisted rule is this?
They actually replaced her previously excellent rule card.
Previously, after using the invisibility card and meeting the speed requirement, a silent effect could be triggered, allowing the user to crash and run away without being detected.
Is this guy... afraid she won't get beaten up?
The only fortunate thing is that the performance of the airbag car hasn't been changed; it still has the speed and springiness that I upgraded yesterday.
"Run! Someone's coming!"
Denny pointed to his watch and showed it to Lu Youyou; there was a red dot on it that was rapidly approaching his car.
Lu Youyou didn't run away; instead, she turned the car around and stepped on the gas.
As they drew closer, Lu Youyou spotted an "airbag ship".
There are five rows of seats, with two people in each row, so there are ten people in that line!
"boom!"
Her airbag car was ejected more than ten meters away, while the airbag car opposite remained motionless.
"Holy crap! I didn't get any extra points."
Denny yelled, "Add points my ass! The rule card says you get points for knocking people over. Did you knock anyone over?"
It's impossible to knock them over; after all, they have more people and their weight is considerable.
Since there was no hope of getting points from here, Lu Youyou immediately stepped on the gas and sped away.
Thanks to her car's good springiness, she was able to quickly create distance after being hit.
Fortunately, her airbag-equipped car was fast enough that the people behind couldn't catch up.
Lu Youyou drove while Deng Ni looked at the map and kept telling her how to get there.
Finally, the ten-person team stopped chasing, and Lu Youyou slowed down to catch her breath.
"Wait, is it an airbag car or an airbag boat? What's going on? Did they get their whole team together?"
"Who knows? Anyway, next time you see a car that big, you can't rush up to it. Even if other people's airbag cars don't have added weight, the weight each person carries is still not low."
Lu Youyou nodded: "I understand. Next time I see a big truck, I'll just run away. Looks like I'll have to earn some points to add weight to my truck."
But a new problem came again.
Upgrading your car's performance requires using points, which you earn by crashing into other players.
However, now that the team-up function has been added, both teams and individuals are represented by a red dot on the universal map.
The red dots are not clustered together, but scattered.
She doesn't even know who's alone and who's in a team, so how can she decide who to bump into?
"Forget it, let's just rely on luck."
Lu Youyou found a small red dot on the map that was relatively far away from her; this was the center of the area between the red dots.
If you can't handle this airbag car yourself, you won't waste too much time looking for other "little red dots" (referring to other car models).
Denny hummed a song the whole time he was driving.
The melody was cheerful, but Lu Youyou had never heard of it before.
"What song is this? It's quite nice."
Dennis: "This isn't a song, it's my language."
"Huh?" Lu Youyou was surprised again: "What country are you from? I've never heard this language before?"
"I am not from Earth."
"Aren't all of this group of humans from Earth?"
"Who told you that?"
"I guessed. I thought the adults would select the same group of people from the same planet."
Actually, she should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, since Yu Qian was in the previous batch, and was considered part of the same group as the people from other planets.
She and Yu Qian had grown up together since childhood, and although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still quite close. So she selectively forgot that Yu Qian was from the previous batch.
"Which planet are you from? I might have even learned about your planet in my textbooks," Lu Youyou asked.
"I am a star person."
"Wang Xing? Uranus or Neptune?"
"No, let's call you Wang Xing. Have you studied it?"
Lu Youyou shook her head.
"Of course you haven't learned it, because your Earth's technology is relatively backward, and you haven't explored my planet yet."
"Is your technology very advanced?"
"Of course, the average lifespan of people in our area is 200 years, and some elderly people can even live to be 250 years old."
“That’s good. You’re over seventy and still in your prime. No wonder you were chosen to participate in the survival game.”
Denny turned his head away and smiled bitterly. He was no longer in his prime; he was just an old man.
If he were still alive, why would he be in such a hurry to find an heir?
"Lu Youyou, have you ever been in love?"
"If kissing a little boy on the cheek in kindergarten counts, then I've been in a relationship."
"It's over," Denny wailed, his mouth agape.
A strong gust of wind blew into his mouth, choking him so much that he bent over and coughed violently, his face turning red all the way to the roots of his neck.
"What do you mean it's over? It's over just because you've never had a serious relationship?"
"You've never been in a relationship. What if you inherit my fortune and a smart man eats it all up?"
Lu Youyou was in an unstable state of mind, and the car was driving erratically on the road.
She adjusted her direction and said irritably, "Am I stupid? Or is my fighting ability really that low? And did I say I wanted to be in a relationship?"
"How can you have a baby if you don't date?"
Lu Youyou: "How can you have a baby in this environment? Lao Deng, are you out of your mind? You're pushing for more babies to the point of survival."
"How will you inherit my things if you don't have children?"
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I can use all the things you gave me by myself. I don't need the child at all."
"More than enough..."
The wind was too strong, and Denny's voice was too soft, so Lu Youyou couldn't hear what he said.
She asked, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing, just drive carefully, we're almost there."
"Ok."
A minute later, Lu Youyou saw a car ahead with only two people, a man and a woman.
The car was driving very slowly, probably because it didn't have any props like the Golden Glasses that could see through the fog.
Therefore, we can only move slowly, adjusting our direction based on the one-meter range within which we can see clearly.
Lu Youyou stepped on the gas and crashed into it.
Boom!
"Little Pocai!"
My watch vibrated; I received 10 points.
A man and a woman went up into the sky and then fell back down. Someone must have used a seven-leaf clover in the air. Before Lu Youyou could drive away, the fog dissipated.
"Youyou?! I'm Zhang Yuning! This is my dad!"
