Chapter 60: Scrambling for Verification

[Pre-match warm-up, a small test of skills. The battle for vehicles begins now!]

[Players only have one chance to choose. During the motorcycle verification process, the verifying player cannot be attacked. Once verification is complete, it cannot be changed.]

[00:14:59]

Just as the announcement ended, eighteen motorcycles appeared in the parking lot!

Although they were all motorcycles, their styles and conditions varied wildly. Some looked like sleeping steel beasts, a perfect combination of wildness and sophistication!

Others were brand-new domestic motorcycles, simple and unadorned, quietly waiting for their owners.

Some were cute pink scooters, adorned with clinking doll accessories, looking absolutely adorable.

Still others were dilapidated and heavily worn, their bodies mottled and showing severe signs of aging!

Almost instantly, except for Guan Sheng and his opponent who were still locked in combat, everyone else rushed toward the cool steel beasts in the southeast corner!

Mo Yubai walked side by side with Wen Ruyan. “Ready, Xiao Wenwen?”

Wen Ruyan met her gaze, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Mo Yubai’s lips curved into a smile. “Go!”

The two coordinated seamlessly, quickly clearing the obstacles around them. Only the sister duo from District 4 and Zhang Binglin from District 6 kept pace with them.

Looking at the three cool motorcycles in front of them, determination flared in everyone’s eyes.

Jiang Lan looked at Mo Yubai and Wen Ruyan, who were clearly working together, and then at the solitary Zhang Binglin.

“Zhang Binglin, want to team up with us? You definitely can’t beat the top two on the combat power leaderboard by yourself, but the three of us together might stand a chance.”

Zhang Binglin was a slender, green-haired youth wearing a floral shirt. His skin was so pale it lacked any trace of color, giving him a deeply sinister look.

He looked at Mo Yubai and Wen Ruyan, who were clearly a team, and then at the sisters. He realized that with only three motorcycles, he might not be able to snatch one from the duo on his own.

Mo Yubai had been keeping a close eye on Zhang Binglin ever since Jiang Lan spoke. The moment she saw him nod in agreement, she struck!

Soon, the five of them were locked in a chaotic free-for-all. As the battle quickly spread, some of the surrounding players gave up and went to grab other vehicles.

Others were unwilling to back down, hoping to seize an opportunity while the five were fighting.

They quickly fought their way to the front of the motorcycles. Jiang Taoqi scrambled onto one of them, but before she could start the verification, Mo Yubai kicked her off!

Jiang Taoqi sprang back up from the ground. As she launched an attack at Mo Yubai, she whined petulantly, “Sis! Mo Yubai kicked me!”

Mo Yubai tapped her toes lightly, dodging Jiang Taoqi’s fierce Mantis Fist strike.

Feeling mischievous, she mimicked Jiang Taoqi’s whiny tone. “Wenwen! Jiang Taoqi is hitting me!”

Wen Ruyan was currently fighting off two opponents at once. Hearing Mo Yubai’s overly dramatic voice, she was momentarily distracted, allowing Jiang Lan to press the verification button and begin the process.

Noticing the commotion over there, Mo Yubai instantly fell quiet, not daring to disturb Xiao Wenwen, who was now clearly in a bad mood.

Jiang Taoqi, however, couldn’t resist rubbing salt in the wound. “Hahaha! Serves you right for copying me. Your teammate couldn’t block it, could she?”

Seeing her smug expression, Mo Yubai blocked Zhang Binglin’s attack, quickly coordinated with Wen Ruyan, and climbed onto a seat to start her own verification.

Now it was Mo Yubai’s turn to mock. “Take notes, loser.”

Before Jiang Taoqi could fire back, she was sent flying by a pink motorcycle that suddenly burst onto the scene.

Zhu Ou was riding the pink motorcycle with high spirits, attempting a stylish brake to send both of the people opposing her friends flying!

Instead, she was shoved by Yang Xiaoji, a District 6 player who suddenly lunged out, which sent Wen Ruyan flying along with her!

Having no time to criticize Zhu Ou’s self-destructive driving skills, Wen Ruyan scrambled up with a cold face and lunged toward the last unverified motorcycle alongside Zhang Binglin!

[Beep. Verification started.]

“Thanks, Big Boss Wen!” Zhang Binglin looked at Wen Ruyan provocatively, unable to hide the smugness on his face.

Seeing this, Mo Yubai snorted coldly and unleashed all ten of her throwing knives!

She ruthlessly shredded both the front and rear tires of the motorcycle!

The rules only stated that players could not be harmed during verification; they said nothing about the vehicles!

Looking at the furious Zhang Binglin, Mo Yubai smiled sweetly and said, “No need to thank me. It’s the least I could do!”

With that, she turned her gaze to Jiang Lan, only to see Jiang Taoqi shielding Jiang Lan’s motorcycle, staring at her warily!

Seeing her cautious stance, Mo Yubai curled her lip in disdain. After successfully provoking her, she let out a couple of loud laughs.

Seeing this, Wen Ruyan’s anger dissipated. She swung herself onto the back of Zhu Ou’s pink motorcycle and patted Zhu Ou’s back. “Let’s go, quick! We need to grab another vehicle!”

Just as they set off, Jiang Lan’s verification finished. She accelerated, catching up to them with Jiang Taoqi in tow.

Sitting on the back seat, Wen Ruyan sneered at Jiang Taoqi, who was making faces at her. “Childish.”

“Sis! Look at her!”

Jiang Lan frowned and spat out two cold words: “Shut up.”

Seeing this, Zhu Ou’s frustration at failing to secure a good vehicle for Sister Wen vanished, replaced by an involuntary look of schadenfreude.

She accelerated, mocking in a teasing voice, “Oh my, your sister told you to shut up!”

Staring at her smug face, Jiang Taoqi trembled with rage. She pointed at Zhu Ou and yelled, “Why are you District 7 players all so shameless?!”

Seizing the moment while Jiang Taoqi was distracted by her anger, Wen Ruyan leaped forward and kicked away Zhao Facai, who was about to start his verification. Her finger pressed the verification button without hesitation!

[Beep. Verification started.]

“Pardon me.”

“Wen Ruyan!!”

The angry roars of Zhao Facai and Jiang Taoqi echoed simultaneously. The two glared at each other in disgust, left with no choice but to scramble for the remaining beat-up vehicles.

Guan Sheng gave Wen Ruyan a deep look, nodding in gratitude before chasing after Zhao Facai!

Once the verification was complete, Wen Ruyan patted Zhu Ou’s head to comfort her. “Don’t blame yourself. What happened just now wasn’t your fault.”

Zhu Ou hung her head in dejection, stripped of her usual energy.

“But Sister Wen, I…”

“It really wasn’t your fault. If you hadn’t come, Jiang Taoqi’s sister would have finished her verification first, and the last one would have gone to her anyway. Besides, the girl who suddenly pushed you is Yang Xiaoji from District 6. She’s with Zhang Binglin and was waiting in ambush. You couldn’t have avoided her.”

Mo Yubai rode her motorcycle over to them, offering words of comfort to the teary-eyed Zhu Ou.

“Really?” Zhu Ou looked up at Wen Ruyan tentatively.

Wen Ruyan gave her an encouraging nod. “I was too late with my verification. Even if you hadn’t shown up, the last one would have been snatched by either Jiang Taoqi or Zhang Binglin.”

Mo Yubai chimed in at the right moment. “And your Sister Mo didn’t let him off easy either. His front and rear tires are completely shredded. Unless he can strip someone else’s tires after verification, that top-tier bike is basically trash now.”

Seeing both of her friends comforting her, Zhu Ou felt too embarrassed to stay upset. She forced a smile and nodded. “Okay!”

Wen Ruyan and Mo Yubai exchanged a glance, both letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

They were experts at fighting, but comforting people was definitely not their strong suit.

The three of them rode together to the exit of the parking lot, where almost all the players had gathered!

Chug, chug, chug… sputter…

The raspy, sputtery sound of a dilapidated motorcycle engine drifted from behind, prompting all the players to turn their heads in curiosity.
