MM Racing Chapter 182 I've put on flight mode
Chapter 182 I've put on flight mode
Chen You's agitated mood improved somewhat after reading the message sent by Moon Arrow.
It’s good news!
He tapped his finger lightly and replied with two words.
[Chen You]: Where?
The message was sent and received a reply almost instantly.
【Moon Arrow】: Qirui City.
Chen You frowned. "Qi what city?"
I've never heard of it.
[Chen You]: Where is Qirui City?
There was a two-second silence on the other end.
【Moon Arrow】: West of East Iron Castle.
[Chen You]: Where is Dongtiecheng?
……
This time, the dialog box remained silent for a full ten seconds.
In Qirui City, Yue Zhiyi looked at the righteous questioning on the screen, and a rare look of speechlessness appeared on her beautiful face.
She glanced at the mysterious merchant shaking his head in front of her and suddenly realized what was going on.
Qirui City is a main city area that only players level 50 and above can enter, and it is surrounded by monster areas of level 45-55.
Given Chen You's current level, it's naturally impossible for him to know.
In the Origin Realm, areas that haven't been personally explored are simply an eternal fog on the map.
Location information, teammate markers, mission markers, etc. will not be displayed.
Having realized this, Moon Arrow finished thinking.
Previously, she subconsciously thought that by using the teleportation between cities, plus some unavoidable map running, she could easily get through it.
The reality, however, is completely different.
The straight-line distance between Qianguang City and Qirui City is over 5,000 kilometers.
Even with the best mounts, running non-stop, it wouldn't take long to get here.
Not to mention the high-level monsters on the road that can tear low-level players to shreds.
Just as she was pondering how to explain, Chen You's new message popped up again.
[Chen You]: Tell me the direction and approximate distance relative to Qianguang City.
Moon Arrow was startled.
Is he serious?
She quickly pulled up the map and made a careful estimate.
【Moon Arrow】: Southwest direction, approximately 5200 kilometers.
After sending that sentence, she immediately added another.
[Moon Arrow]: It's too far, how about I arrange for someone to pick you up?
[Chen You]: No need.
[Moon Arrow]: The mysterious merchant will appear in 52 minutes. Even if I send someone over, they might not make it in time. You're alone...
Her words were tactful, but the subtext was very clear.
Maybe we should just skip this one.
There wasn't enough time, and there wasn't enough strength.
You... can't come.
However, the next second, Chen You's reply completely stunned her.
[Chen You]: I'm in airplane mode now, I'm not going to chat anymore.
Moon Arrow: "???"
Flight mode?
What is that?
She stared blankly at the line of text, her mind blank for a moment, unsure how to process it.
Was it some kind of special prop that she didn't know about?
Or is it some kind of hidden special skill?
……
Ten Thousand Fox Cave.
Chen You closed the chat window.
He didn't know where Qirui City was, but he had his own methods.
He opened the map, found the location of Qianguang City, and calculated its approximate location 5,200 kilometers away.
Then, based on this, we can determine how to proceed from the Ten Thousand Fox Cave.
"Simple geometry".
In just three seconds, Chen You confidently closed the map and exited the instance.
There wasn't a single person in sight at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Fox Cave.
Manchester has already left.
Other adventurers either left or went into the dungeon to verify the strategy Chen You had given them.
"rise."
With a thought, Yu Huang emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, instantly appearing at his feet and lifting him up steadily.
The next second, the sword light shot into the sky, tearing through the clouds and transforming into a streak of light that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, shooting off toward the southwest.
Flying on a sword!
This is the most orthodox way for cultivators to travel!
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen You pushed the flight altitude to its limit, reaching the air wall above.
The wind whistled in my ears, and my clothes fluttered in the wind.
"Southwest direction, 5,200 kilometers..."
While maintaining flight, Chen You silently calculated in his mind.
Starting from the location of Wanhu Cave, you need to shift slightly eastward...
He had blind confidence in the math knowledge he had forgotten from his physical education teacher.
The flight was not without its obstacles.
Occasionally, some huge flying monsters would appear in the air, but Chen You was too high up, almost out of their perception range.
The greatest threat, on the contrary, comes from the cities situated on the ground.
Every major city in the Origin Realm has a no-fly zone; once you enter the no-fly zone, you're in big trouble.
Therefore, whenever the outline of a city appears below, Chen You has to carefully avoid it in advance.
……
Qirui City.
Moon Arrow pondered all the possibilities, but still couldn't figure out how Chen You could arrive in time.
She knew that Chen You had demonstrated his flying ability before, but there were also flying monsters in the air, which would be more dangerous than those on the ground.
She began to hesitate about whether she should wait any longer.
"President, what's wrong?"
Beside her, a core member of the Elven race noticed her unusual expression and asked in a low voice.
Moon Arrow gently shook his head, his gaze returning to the disheveled figure not far away, squatting on the ground and teasing ants with a dry twig.
That's the mysterious merchant.
It lacked the dazzling brilliance and profound aura I had imagined; it was just like a homeless person you could see anywhere.
"How much longer until he disappears?" Moon Arrow asked.
"Reporting to the Chairman, there are 41 minutes left."
Moon Arrow nodded and said nothing more.
It'll only take 40 minutes, just wait.
……
Thirty minutes later.
Chen You estimated that the distance was about right and began to slowly descend.
Through the thick clouds, the outline of a magnificent city gradually became clear below.
This is it!
Chen You was overjoyed, adjusted his direction, and landed precisely outside the city gate.
Everything went smoothly and perfectly!
He looked up at the towering city gate with a cheerful expression, where three large characters were carved in a vigorous and powerful style.
【Eastern Iron City】.
The smile on Chen You's face froze instantly.
East...Iron...City?
He slowly deciphered each word, even wondering if he was hallucinating.
What about Qirui City?
Where is Qirui City?
He hurriedly opened the map, found his location cursor, and the map clearly marked East Iron City...
He... flew off course.
"..."
Silence is the tone of Dongtie tonight.
Damn it! I should have paid more attention in math class back then!
We absolutely mustn't let Director Li find out, otherwise it'll be a headache if he arranges for a math expert to give us extra lessons.
He mentally ranted, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, he quickly mounted his sword again and headed west.
Two minutes later, Chen You landed again.
The three large, elegant characters on the city gate, "Qirui City," were confirmed to be correct.
Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did I open my friends list and send a team-up request.
……
Moon Arrow stared at the mysterious merchant, entering a state of mental blankness.
Chen You... can't possibly make it in time.
She waited, more like it was some kind of ritual.
It was as if she was just waiting for the time to end so that she could tell Chen You with a clear conscience: I've done everything I could.
There are only 18 minutes left before the mysterious merchant disappears.
Just then.
A crisp system notification sounded in her ear.
【Ding! 】
[Player 'Chen You' invites you to join the team. Do you accept?]
Moon Arrow: "..."
Her beautiful eyes slowly widened, her long eyelashes trembling gently.
Team invitation?
He... has arrived?
How is that possible!
She hurriedly accepted the invitation and then eagerly opened the map.
A blue dot representing a teammate appeared prominently at the north gate.
He really came!
She was momentarily at a loss for words and just stood there, stunned.
Soon, a white shadow stopped in front of her.
The night breeze that followed lifted her hair.
