108: Chapter 108 Iron Chains Linked!

Hearing Lu Yuan's teeth-gritted "praise."

The pair of geniuses before him exchanged a glance and chuckled, their faces written with the pride of "hurry up and praise me."

"The boss is too kind! This is all standard procedure!"

Shougong Geng pressed his advantage, looking as if he had received the greatest encouragement in the world.

He turned around and pulled another large lump of metal out of the tattered woven bag on his back.

"Boss, look at this!"

"This is the ultimate divine tool I invented a few days ago!"

"It's called: The Chained Linked Vehicle!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and focused his gaze.

What Shougong Geng held in his arms was actually a thick, rusty iron chain.

Wound crookedly around the surface of that chain was a low-quality black electric wire, with two battery clips attached to either end.

Shougong Geng began to introduce his masterpiece with a face full of pride.

"Look, Boss, our guild has so many people now. In the future, when we're on the road, there will definitely be cars that break down or run out of gas."

"As long as we connect this iron chain between two vehicles, the front car can directly tow the rear car!"

"Moreover, to prevent the rear car from running out of battery and being unable to run the air conditioning, I specially wrapped an electric wire around the chain!"

"This way, while the front car is towing, it can also charge the rear car at the same time!"

"Isn't it absolutely perfect?!"

Listening to this passionate introduction and seeing Shougong Geng's "praise me" expression seeking validation.

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He was utterly speechless—beyond speechless!

Isn't this just a damn ordinary tow rope with a crappy power strip tied to it?!

What the hell kind of "Chained Linked Vehicle" is this!

Lu Yuan suppressed the urge to smash the thing into Shougong Geng's face and silently cast a System Appraisal on it.

Sure enough.

On the azure light screen, an extremely mocking system prompt popped up.

[Leaking Towing Rope for Redundant Effort - [Junk]]

[Item Evaluation: A piece of industrial trash born purely to increase the risk of electric shock.]

[Not only is the chain extremely prone to snapping during towing, but that low-quality leaking wire can also perfectly achieve the 'One car leaks, two cars ascend to heaven' collective achievement on rainy days.]

[If Pang Tong from the Three Kingdoms saw this, he'd crawl out of Fallen Phoenix Slope overnight just to give you a thumbs down.]

Lu Yuan slapped his hand against his forehead.

Unbelievable.

This system evaluation was truly spot on.

As expected, this honest-looking guy's talent could only produce this kind of pure industrial waste!

Just as Lu Yuan was rolling his eyes, speechless and choking with frustration.

Old Liu, who had been silent on the side, chuckled and took the initiative to step forward, taking the rusty iron chain.

"Boss, don't be so quick to look down on it."

"It's my turn to act!"

Old Liu gripped the lump of chain judged to be "junk" with both hands and took a deep breath.

"Turn Waste into Treasure, activate!"

Buzz—!

[System Prompt: This repair and modification consumed 100 metal blocks!]

Repairing that flick-to-the-head divine tool just now only cost 10 metal blocks, but this time it actually drained 100 in one go!

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Following that, a deep purple light, ten times more dazzling than before, erupted from Old Liu's hands!

Accompanied by a burst of extremely complex mechanical restructuring sounds, the rusty iron chain rapidly melted, elongated, and reshaped within the purple light.

A few seconds later.

The purple light completely dissipated.

What appeared in Old Liu's hands was no longer a rusty iron chain and crappy electric wire.

Instead, it was a translucent energy chain emitting a faint blue sci-fi glow, composed of countless micro-electromagnetic nodes tightly linked together!

The moment Lu Yuan saw this item clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he sucked in a breath of cold air.

[Synchronic Symbiosis · Quantum Electromagnetic Towing Chain - [Purple Top-Tier Component]!]

[Quantum Link!]

[This chain can ignore physical volume and mass, forcibly linking up to a thousand chariots into a single entity!]

[After linking, the power of the lead vehicle becomes the power for the entire formation!]

[Note: As long as I don't die, the brothers will always have full health and mana!]

[True chained linked ships; even Cao Cao would call you a pro!]

...

Silence.

A deathly silence fell over the entire campfire.

Lu Yuan stared fixedly at the faintly glowing electromagnetic chain in Old Liu's hand, feeling his heart pounding wildly.

What kind of heaven-defying auxiliary divine tool is this?!

Linking up to a thousand chariots?!

And all power is shared?!

What does this mean?

It means that as long as Shougong Geng builds more leaking iron chains and Old Liu mass-produces "Turn Waste into Treasure," they can distribute them to the two hundred battalions of the entire guild!

The entire guild's army of two hundred thousand will completely transform into two hundred steel dragons, linked head to tail, racing like the wind!

...

That night, Shougong Geng and Old Liu worked overtime through the night.

Supported by the guild's massive supply of metal blocks, two hundred [Synchronic Symbiosis · Quantum Electromagnetic Towing Chains] were rushed to completion.

That night, Lin Zihao personally led men to install these chains, glowing with a faint blue light, between the lead and trailing vehicles of the two hundred battalions.

The next day.

Endless Bloody Wilderness, the 6,000-kilometer mark.

Chen Feng, the leader of the independent players from the outer districts who had set out early from the Steel Fortress, was driving a battered off-road vehicle down the highway.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and a low-quality cigarette in the other, taking a deep drag.

Recalling the locust-like behavior of the Red Wolf Guild people who had dismantled the system fortress overnight and dug three feet into the ground, Chen Feng still felt it was as absurd as a dream.

"This isn't playing a survival game; it's a bunch of bandits entering a village..."

Chen Feng blew out a smoke ring and muttered with lingering fear.

Just then.

A world-shaking, terrifying roar of engines suddenly came from the highway behind him.

Before Chen Feng even had time to look in the rearview mirror.

Boom—!

A blood-colored heavy tank, like an ancient behemoth, whistled past his off-road vehicle with an unparalleled, violent airflow!

The fierce wind, mixed with sand and stone, blew Chen Feng's vehicle so hard it shook violently on the highway, nearly flipping it and its driver directly into the roadside ruins.

Chen Feng was so startled he quickly threw away his cigarette butt, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and cursed loudly.

"Fuck! Driving so fast, are you in a rush to..."

However, when he stabilized the car and saw the scene behind the Red Wolf Tank.

The unuttered curses got stuck in his throat, and his eyes nearly popped out.

Behind the Red Wolf Tank, an electromagnetic chain emitting a faint blue light was being towed.

On the other end of the chain, it was actually connected to a heavy armored vehicle!

And behind the armored vehicle, another off-road vehicle was connected...

One after another, linked head to tail, without a single gap!

Under the terrified and stunned gazes of Chen Feng and countless passing players from the outer districts.

A full thousand red-painted chariots, like a high-speed train with no end, roared past on the wilderness highway like a whirlwind!

And it wasn't just this one column!

Following closely behind were the second column, the third column...

Two hundred "steel dragons" rampaged across this wilderness.

The cross-district public channel was instantly flooded with screens full of question marks and exclamation points.

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!! What did I just see?!"

"What the hell kind of train is that! Who can tell me why the Red Wolf Guild people are running a high-speed rail on the highway?!"

"Damn, scared the life out of me!"

"I was eating their exhaust for a whole damn minute on the side!"

"Crazy! This game has been completely broken by the Red Wolf Guild!"

"They even saved on fuel costs, just relying on the lead car to pull the rest?!"

"Please, Red Wolf big shots, do your high-speed trains sell standing tickets? I really don't want to step on the gas myself anymore!!!"

While all the players on the server were frantically complaining and questioning their lives over this bizarre "Doomsday High-Speed Rail."

Lu Yuan, racing at the very front, watched the mileage numbers constantly ticking on the car's radar.

7,500 kilometers.

7,800 kilometers.

8,000 kilometers!

Buzz—!

After passing through an invisible cross-district energy barrier, a dazzling system prompt box suddenly popped up on Lu Yuan's system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations on reaching the 8,000-kilometer mark!]

[The Endless Bloody Wilderness stage is about to enter its final phase!]

[District Union Announcement: All Super C Districts will completely merge after the 8,000-kilometer mark!]

[Good luck!]

Looking at these lines of large characters on the panel, Lu Yuan's hand on the control lever paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a meaningful arc.

"All Super Districts merging?"

"It seems the road ahead is going to be much more lively than I imagined..."
