Chapter 208: Chapter 24: Name Token (First Update, Request for Monthly Votes)

In this world, there is no such thing as a rainy day during the day.

At most, there might be a sunshower.

Because the sun is simply too resilient, even if you have a downpour in the middle of the night that beats down on the banana plants, by morning, at sunrise, any storm has to calm down and make way.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no traces left behind.

Xu Shu looked out the window at the distant sky, where rainbows crisscrossed east to west, stretching into landscape bridges, followed by the flying mirrors of the sun and the cloud-formed seascape buildings.

This rare and beautiful scenery indeed subdued the fierce behavior he had just displayed in his journey playing the Holy Maiden Cup.

The convoy still followed its planned route, and halfway through, when avoiding a twisted little town’s ruins, Xu Shu suddenly signaled to the driver, "Stop here for a moment, I need to relieve myself."

As soon as the car door opened, he bent his body and, like an arrow leaving its bow, rushed straight toward a half-collapsed building about five hundred meters ahead.

This startled Hong Yan, who was nearby.

"Lazy people always need to go, and he still thinks he can pursue me..."

Hong Yan watched Xu Shu’s rapidly retreating figure and initially just pursed her lips.

Suddenly, her expression froze; she tilted her head to listen, sniffed the air, and a few seconds later, her expression changed: "Wait, don’t go, there are lurking monsters over there, not just one, First Rank, but I don’t know what level...wait, hey!"

She desperately shouted.

However, with a burst of speed, Xu Shu had already sprinted nearly a hundred meters away and couldn’t hear her at all.

"Damn it!"

Hong Yan immediately panicked.

Is there something wrong with his brain?

So, now carrying a huge bundle of steel rebars as a weapon and sticking out from his back like a peacock is fine.

But as a grown man, can’t you just casually relieve yourself by the roadside? Would I even watch?

Why are you running, huh? And right towards where monsters lurk?

But alas, he was too far gone, shouts no longer reaching him.

So, Hong Yan had no choice but to get out of the car, and under her teammates’ puzzled looks, she sprinted after him.

As a "Rascal" from the Martial Arts trio, known for their swift and deadly ambushes, Hong Yan was very fast, faster than both Red Rabbit Horse and Diao Chan.

Even if a Warrior was given a hundred-meter head start, she could catch up in half a minute.

However, she quickly realized something was off.

Because the distance between her and Xu Shu was not closing.

Instead, it was getting farther.

"???"

Hong Yan was truly frustrated.

Really?

Are you kidding me?

Is that the speed of a Warrior?

After her confusion, anger erupted.

Is he using this method to show off his power to me?

Foolish, I won’t easily admit defeat!

She increased her pace to a sprint, a tailwind invisible to the naked eye propelling her from behind.

"Rascal," basic skill: "Sprint!"

Whoosh!

Hong Yan’s speed drastically increased, covering great distances in a single stride.

"Holy shit! She’s catching up?"

At this point, Xu Shu, who was running ahead, also noticed the figure closing in from behind and involuntarily sped up.

The reason he got off early was of course because of the two Nemesean beasts they had encountered earlier on the road!

The ambush route of these two monsters was something Xu Shu had long foreseen and was familiar with.

If the team had continued on their normal path, they would have run into them in about three to five minutes.

However, they were currently behind some ruins, gnawing on a few unfortunate Scavengers’ corpses.

Therefore, Xu Shu got off early in order to hoard the experience for himself.

"Right, she’s a Rascal, able to sense monster positions within a certain range."

Xu Shu felt tense.

Was she coming to steal kills from him?

He really needed Contribution Points now, and while he knew everyone did, he definitely wanted to snatch some.

Otherwise, once they moved further into the Wasteland, it would be more challenging.

Right then, Xu Shu gritted his teeth and pushed his Ultimate Skill to the limit.

Ultimate Technique! Kua Fu Chasing the Sun!

His speed also massively increased, charging forward like a wild bull.

A Warrior and a Rascal.

One looking like a rocket with its back full of spears, the other running light and swift as a galloping horse.

Thus, they started an extreme sprinting race on this Wasteland!

Soon, the slanted building was right in front of them.

"No, the monsters are lying in ambush ahead... Stop! Don’t go any further!"

Hong Yan clenched her teeth, wanting to shout.

However, Xu Shu could only hear fragmented phrases like "Don’t...stop...don’t...ah~."

Looking back, Xu Shu had to admit that the Rascal’s speed was truly fast, already closing the gap to a few dozen meters.

If it had just been a forty-meter headstart, she would have caught him.

"Ha ha, lucky I’m slightly better, started with a 100-meter lead!"

Boom!

Xu Shu, like a tornado, crossed a corner of the wall.

"No, don’t! Don’t go in there, arghhh!"

Seeing this, Hong Yan let out a cry of despair.

Now she could only hope that the local monsters weren’t the kind with lethal power capable of instantly killing an unguarded teammate, hoping that Xu Shu could survive until the nun healer arrived.

Otherwise, if the Warrior died here, today’s Wasteland expansion plan would be declared a failure, and they would have to go back and regroup.

Does this blockhead even listen when I call?

If you need to pee, just pee, why the hell are you seeking death?

At that moment, near the corner, already faintly hearing the commotion and knowing someone was approaching, the lurking Nemesean beasts arched their back muscles, revealing their sharp claws and fangs.

These two Nemesean beasts, with one having yellow and the other white fur on top of their heads, and robust limbs, were actually a slightly mutated type.
