60: Shi Li drives

The aircraft dropped the 16 strongest participants from Durian City onto an open wilderness, then ascended and flew away again.

Everyone quickly used the drone's map function to determine their current location.

Unlike the Monster Training Ground, wild demons were naturally distributed.

Therefore, their density was certainly much sparser.

Coupled with the issue of mobility, there were no specific demon locations on the map, only some possible ranges were marked.

"Alright everyone, I'll be heading off first."

Fang Jinghai quickly found the nearest target area on the map.

His target, naturally, was Three-Star Demons.

He pulled out a capsule from his pocket and threw it to the ground.

Bang!

After a puff of smoke, a lightweight hoverboard appeared before everyone.

The hoverboard was just large enough to accommodate one person, and after Fang Jinghai stepped onto it, it lifted him up.

"Wow! A Capsule Vehicle!"

"With this thing, isn't hunting efficiency greatly improved?"

"As expected of Fang Jinghai! So rich!"

Most of the students showed envious looks.

Although Fang Jinghai's expression didn't change in response to their reactions, he was secretly pleased.

"This thing is very expensive, I didn't buy it."

He sounded humble, but was actually showing off: "It's a C-Level Contract benefit from Li Card Hall."

"Oh oh oh ~" xN

Upon hearing this, even though the students knew he was showing off, they became even more envious.

Money could buy a Capsule Vehicle, but not a C-Level Contract from a Card Hall.

"Hmph."

Only Liang Dan looked disdainful.

A C-Level Contract, who didn't have one?

She, from the Star Card Hall, also released her own capsule hoverboard.

The other students could only be jealous; they would have to Movement on foot from now on.

"Aren't you also on a C-Level Contract? Where's your Capsule Vehicle?"

Gong Ping, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask Shi Li when he saw this scene.

"It's here."

Actually, even without him urging, Shi Li was already planning to do so.

Bang!

His puff of smoke was larger than both Fang Jinghai's and Liang Dan's.

When the smoke quickly dissipated, what was revealed was actually a hover motorcycle!

"Holy cow! A motorcycle?!"

"This is awesome!"

"It can even carry an extra person!"

The students' attention was instantly drawn to Shi Li's hover motorcycle.

"Huh?"

Gong Ping first froze, then immediately burst out laughing at Fang and Liang: "Hahahahaha!"

"It seems your Li Card Hall and Star Card Hall are nothing special after all, look at our Show Card Hall's C-Level Contract vehicle!"

His tone made it sound as if the hover motorcycle was his own.

"Stop blabbering, are you getting on or not?"

Shi Li, meanwhile, had already straddled it.

"Yes, yes, yes! Wait for me!"

Gong Ping quickly got on the back seat.

Then Shi Li stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle swiftly flew out.

"..." x2

Watching the motorcycle's receding back, Fang Jinghai and Liang Dan could only remain speechless.

Because Gong Ping was indeed right; the hover motorcycle was far superior in class to their hoverboards.

"For the same C-Level Contract, Show Card Hall's benefits are so much better, aren't they?"

"I originally heard that Show Card Hall was a bit worse than the other two, but it seems that's not necessarily true."

"Now that we compare them, Show Card Hall feels more powerful, right."

"I'll have to go check out Show Card Hall myself later."

The students also whispered among themselves.

Invisibly, Shi Li had essentially done a wave of promotion for Show Card Hall.

Unaware of this, he was currently enjoying the strong headwind created by air resistance.

Coupled with the boundless open space in his vision, it gave him a sense of freedom and exhilaration, as if the world was vast and he could soar anywhere.

Gong Ping looked back, and the students had already become ant-sized.

"I say, this car of yours isn't second-hand, is it?"

He had actually wanted to say this since he got on the car, and had been holding it in until now.

Both the seat cushion and the footrests had obvious but not severe tilts.

Touching any part with his hand, he could feel either a slight dent or the roughness of scratched paint.

It felt like this motorcycle had seen many years of use and weathering.

"What are you talking about? It's a new car I just got last month."

But Shi Li denied this claim.

"?"

A premonition of dread suddenly rose in Gong Ping's heart: "Don't tell me you don't have a driver's license yet."

"Don't worry."

Shi Li looked back at him: "I'm in the process of getting it."

"Oh, if you say so, then I'm relie... What?!"

Gong Ping was about to sigh in relief but then realized he had almost been fooled by the other person's tone.

"What do you mean 'in the process of getting it'?!"

"It means I've taken the test a few times last month, but haven't passed any of them."

"A few times?!"

"Yeah, it's just that I haven't had time this month, otherwise I probably could have failed a few more times."

"Don't look back when you're talking! Watch the road! Watch the road!"

"Don't worry, this car is very sturdy, a few bumps won't break it."

"Stop saying dangerous lines in that tone!"

Ten minutes later, Shi Li stopped the motorcycle.

"I'll drop you off here; let's proceed individually from now on."

"Ugh!!!"

His only answer was Gong Ping's dry retching.

At this moment, Gong Ping was both shocked and terrified.

He simply couldn't understand what kind of demon could drive a hover vehicle, known for its stability, like this.

No wonder this guy couldn't pass the driver's license test!

If this were in an urban environment, he probably would have saved cremation fees several times over by now!

"Look at you, what a mess. I'm leaving."

Shi Li gave him a disdainful look, then drove off again.

For this outdoor trial, his goal was very clear.

To achieve first place in his group, he had to surpass Fang Jinghai and Liang Dan.

So his only goal could be to hunt Three-Star Demons.

However, even though he could deal with LV5 Two-Star Demons in the Monster Training Ground, it was hard to say for Three-Star Demons.

Three-Star Demons, at a minimum, had 5 Demon Cards, and at least 1 of them had three attributes.

Shi Li could only look for Three-Star Demons he recognized and could defeat.

Fortunately, with the added benefit of the vehicle, he felt there was still some hope.

At this moment, the Qingchuan University inspection team was observing the movements of the trial participants in their monitoring room.

Because Shi Li was a key observation target, they had allocated a separate screen for him.

"It seems Shi Li intends to use the vehicle to improve hunting efficiency.

After all, 10 LV1 Two-Star Demons are equivalent to the points of 1 Three-Star Demon; as long as the efficiency is fast enough, he might not lose to those Platinum-ranked competitors.

He must be thinking this, right?"

The male Recruitment Officer chuckled.

"The ideal is plump, but reality is skinny."

The female Recruitment Officer understood her colleague's meaning: "But he still overlooked many details, for example, Two-Star Demons won't automatically come to him as he wishes.

Just avoiding the habitats of those Three-Star Demons would waste a lot of time."

She looked at the map; directly ahead of Shi Li's current direction was a large area of Three-Star Demon activity.

"Hmm?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shi Li not changing direction at all, diving straight into the Three-Star area.
