PFRG: Chapter 107

“How about it? Do you want to join us?”

Chi Ting heard the man in front of him take the initiative to invite him. He looked up at the pair of eyes that looked very sincere and smiled back. “Of course.”

The man in the suit was obviously ready to persuade Chi Ting if he hesitated. Therefore, this answer made him slightly stunned. There was finally a hint of scrutiny in his expression as he looked at Chi Ting.

He gracefully extended his hand and introduced himself. “I am the captain of the Jazz team, Qu Leng.”

Chi Ting shook his hand. “I am the captain of the Dawn team, Chi Ting.”

“You are the Dawn team?” Qu Leng’s usual modest demeanor showed a hint of surprise, but he still maintained a smile on his face. “We all saw the system notification just now. You should’ve gained a lot from the immersive shooting hall just now, right?”

“It was a lot.” Chi Ting looked up and met this person’s eyes without avoiding it. His tone was also indifferent. “But it shouldn’t be as much as the income of your Jazz team.”

He slowly glanced at the players behind Qu Leng, and the curve of his mouth was meaningful. “If you can successfully pass a few more games, your team should’ve accumulated enough game coins. Then you can be the first to pass and leave, right?”

“Yes, we have accumulated enough.” Qu Leng thought about the question raised by Chi Ting for a while. His gentle eyes curved, and his clear words slowly fell into everyone’s ears. “But it is rare to enter such an interesting game instance. Our team members should want to play a few more games, so we aren’t in a hurry to leave for the time being.”

This answer was exactly the same as what Hang Jing had said before, but Chi Ting hadn’t expected that the gentle and elegant captain of the Jazz team could ignore the selfishness revealed behind these words without changing his expression.

He was almost openly stating that the life or death of other people had nothing to do with him.

But this was indeed the rule of survival in this unlimited world.

The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived.

Chi Ting looked at Qu Leng and the smile on his face subconsciously deepened a bit. However, this made the emotions in his words even more difficult to understand. “That’s right. The game items in this instance are indeed very interesting.”

Qu Leng had been paying attention to Chi Ting’s expression.

Before this, Qu Leng had never heard of the Dawn team. It was basically confirmed that it was an unknown, last-place team. It was only because of several system notifications he previously received that the team caught his attention.

He had just openly revealed his team’s intention to plunder the prize pool. He originally thought he could use this to exert some pressure. However, the person in front of him seemed to have clearly understood the meaning behind it. It was just that the reaction was unexpected.

Shouldn’t he be like the players they had encountered in previous instances and at least show a bit of panic due to their chances of survival being drastically decreased?

Qu Leng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure enter his field of view.

The next second, Yue Ren reached out and put a hand on Chi Ting’s shoulder. He hugged the person in his arms in front of everyone else, and this tone was also smiling. “It isn’t a familiar relationship. We just met by chance, so it should be enough to introduce yourself briefly right? Since you all want to try more games, you should take the time to pay attention to the content of the games. It is better to avoid unnecessary in-depth exchanges, right?”

Qu Leng looked at the familiar postures of the two people, paused, and cleared his throat softly. “We have already read the rules here. You should also study them a bit. We will wait for you inside.”

Yue Ren smiled. “Okay, I’ll see you later.”

The other members of the Jazz team left with Qu Leng.

Once their figures disappeared from sight, Yue Ren looked back at Chi Ting and blinked innocently. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Chi Ting raised an eyebrow slightly. “What do you think?”

Yue Ren didn’t answer. Instead, he moved a few inches closer and said slowly, “Who told him to stare at the captain for 23 seconds? If you really want to talk about appearance, I think it is better for you to look at me.”

Did he look at Qu Leng for more than 20 seconds?

Chi Ting vaguely felt that it shouldn’t have been that long, but seeing Yue Ren’s confident look, he became a bit unsure for a moment.

He briefly reflected on it before nodding. “I’ll pay more attention to you next time.”

The moment he finished speaking, he felt the gaze that was looking at him change into a questioning look. Finally, he heard Yue Ren clear his throat. “Ahem… it is good to know.”

Out of the corner of his eyes, Chi Ting caught a glimpse of the reddish tips of the man’s ears as he let go. Just as Chi Ting opened his mouth, he heard Ji Xingque’s somewhat collapsed voice. “Captain, no matter who you plan to look at, can you wait until we are free to look? Let’s look at the rules together now, okay? Let’s look at the rules first, right?”

“Yes….”

The two of them didn’t say anything else and tacitly shifted their gazes to the bulletin board.

The red and blue confrontation and relay event were what Chi Ting saw at first glance.

But in addition, as with any game, the rules that needed to be noted were clearly marked below.

[Death Go-Kart Competition Rules:

Players who want to compete should register at the workbench after forming a team of three. Players can only officially state the competition as the red or blue team after the other team has completed the registration.
Participants are free to confirm the relay order. The next player can only start after the previous player reaches the finish line. The team whose last player arrives first will win. Please be careful not to rush or delay the start. If the previous player hasn’t reached the finish line or the next player hasn’t started the next round of relay within 10 seconds of reaching the finish line, the entire team will be disqualified.
Since the race track is randomly updated and the route is complicated, please make sure that you are on the correct course at any time during the race. If you accidentally deviate from the track, please press the communication button and the staff will lead you back to the race route.
If you aren’t off the track, please do not press the communication button. If you are lost, just continue driving according to the road signs at the fork. If there are no road signs, please take the left fork.
Go-karts will never break down during the race. Please do not stop at the roadside. If you find that the fuel is insufficient, you can follow the road signs to drive into the gas station for help. During refueling, you can use game coins to exchange for supplies at the gas station according to the rules. But please note that the stop time at the gas station shouldn’t exceed eight minutes.
Each team is allowed to have a maximum of two substitute players. Substitute players aren’t allowed to enter the field during the game. They are only allowed to replace the players who are injured and confirmed to be unable to continue the game. Once they enter the field, they will replace the original player and need to start again from the starting position. But they will inherit the time taken by the original player and the time will count from there.
The game process in this area is absolutely safe. If you find that your teammates haven’t returned for a long time after leaving, it is very normal. Please wait patiently. If you are really worried, you can choose to go to the monitoring area to watch the situation inside.
In order to increase the fun of the race, there are many accompanying vehicles and various Easter eggs arranged on the field. But two go-karts of the same color aren’t allowed to appear at the same time in the same section of the field. If a vehicle of the same color appears in your field of view, please avoid it as much as possible and make sure it is out of your field of view for more than ten seconds before continuing the race.
Do not take off your helmet at any time.
After the game is over, the winner will receive corresponding rewards according to the time taken. In addition, the winner can receive a corresponding number of game coins from the loser according to the percentage of time in which they led.
Safety is the top priority in this game. Please pay attention to the traffic rules during the competition. There are thousands of roads, but safety comes first. If you drive irregularly, your loved ones will shed tears.]

As his gaze fell on the last rule, Chi Ting frowned and fell into a long silence.

Yue Ren noticed the gaze in his expression. He followed the gaze and asked, “What is the problem?”

Chi Ting slowly looked up and over. After a while, he asked the other two people, who were also very concerned. “Do you know what the traffic rules are?”

Yue Ren: “………”

In the apocalypse world where Chi Ting and his companions lived, it was already a very good thing to meet other people’s cars on the road, let alone heavy traffic. The so-called traffic rules did exist, but they basically existed in name only.

After all, in the apocalypse where the profession of traffic police no longer existed, it was more valuable to spend more time figuring out where to find more living people rather than spending time understanding the regulations that only existed in peacetime.

Therefore, it was obvious that Chi Ting wasn’t the only one who was confused at this moment. Ji Xingque and Song Xuefeng were also confused.

Of course, what made them feel powerless to complain was the rule setting of this game. Wasn’t it go-kart, a bumper car game that didn’t require a driver’s license test? Why bother with all these traffic rules?

There was no other way. Yue Ren could only wave to them, motioning for them to come over. Then they gathered together and slowly squatted down, starting a last-minute lesson on traffic rules.

In fact, Yue Ren himself wasn’t very confident, but he at least knew the most basic content compared to Chi Ting and the others.

No matter what, it was much better than going into the game without knowing anything.

The audience in the live stream room couldn’t hear Yue Ren’s voice, but they could vaguely guess what the mushroom-shaped figures squatting down were doing based on Chi Ting’s words. They couldn’t help falling into a long silence.

After a long time, the barrage of comments started again in a worried manner.

[What do they mean, they have no knowledge of traffic rules at all?]

[Where did they come from that they don’t know the most basic common sense?]

[…This is the first time I’ve seen someone do a make-up class in an instance. In addition, the opponent is the Jazz team. Is it really okay to fight like this?]

[Am I the only one who thinks it is ridiculous to compete in speed and obey traffic rules at the same time?]

[Also, there can only be two substitutes at most. If they have four people and three of them are on the field, then they can only leave one person on the bench, right?]

[In fact, I think it is a good thing that the substitutes don’t have to be used. After all, the premise of this substitution was…]

[I can’t explain why, but the rules of this game make me feel uneasy. However, compared with these rules, what I am most worried about is their opponent this time.]

[Indeed, that is the Jazz team! I’ve been in an instance with them before, and I still remember it vividly.]

In the midst of the scrolling discussion, the audience once again looked at the ‘mushrooms’ squatting in a circle on the screen. After thousands of words, in the end, only sighs filled the screen.

Alas.

They finally found a new team that they thought was very interesting. The team had to hold on!
