"Boom!!"
Along with the roaring of the engine, the sled carrying Chen Yi and his companions accelerated to over a dozen Mach in just a few seconds, shooting towards the horizon!
This level of acceleration was unprecedented in the entire history of Blue Star.
And that was without Chen Yi flooring the throttle.
Although the prop panel didn't explicitly record it,
he could roughly feel that stomping the throttle all the way down would probably take about a dozen seconds to reach sixty or seventy Mach.
Reaching the maximum speed of eighty-seven Mach would probably take only about half a minute.
"Mother of God..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit's back was stuck to the seat, his hands death-gripped the handrests beside him, as he looked at the swiftly reversing scenery on both sides, already feeling a bit dizzy; with the sled reaching around twenty to thirty Mach, he could hardly tell whether he was moving forwards or backwards anymore.
One mont, the scenery on both sides appeared to move backward, the next, forward, feeling like performing acrobatics.
Unlike the train they took in Aweso Starfield, although it was equally fast, it didn't offer much of an experience, perhaps because they'd modified the sled too crudely, resulting in a strong push-back.
Fortunately, they installed so facilities, like air pressure regulation.
Which prevented them from fainting on the spot as the sled instantly accelerated to over a dozen Mach.
A normal person, without any protective asures, boarding a craft that instantly accelerates to over a dozen Mach, would probably not have many opportunities to reunite with the world in this lifeti.
The current speed was pretty much at the limit for Blue Star.
If they went any faster, their flight path would beco elliptical, and Blue Star is spherical...
...
It wasn't long before Chen Yi and his group arrived at the Arctic Circle.
They had incredible luck.
The sky was clear and cloudless that night, visibility was extrely high.
Just as they reached the Arctic Circle, they happened to witness the aurora blossoming on the horizon.
Stunning beauty.
As if an oil painting were recreated in reality.
Chen Yi brought the sled to a hovering stop mid-air, lifted his head to look at the aurora on the horizon with a slight smile, silent, the spectacle was too beautiful. Before the advent of the leveling up ga, it's unlikely they would have had the chance to see the aurora in their lifeti.
But with the coming of the leveling up ga, they got their chance.
It was a respite amidst hardship.
"It's so beautiful."
Jiaye leaned into Chen Yi's embrace, whispering as she looked up at the aurora in the sky.
No one spoke; instead, they quietly huddled together, silently enjoying this mont of comfort.
Jiaye lay in Chen Yi's arms, Sword Without End and Tuberculosis Rabbit huddled together, leaving Tie Chui alone, sitting there, scanning the surroundings with a confused expression, his heart feeling lost.
...
"..."
"Phew!"
Chen Yi tiptoed out of bed and walked toward the rooftop, stretching comfortably as he looked towards the rising sun, then glanced at the clock on the wall.
'October 5th, 07:37.'
It was October 5th.
The National Day event had long ended, that sand table ga imitating The Rim of the Land, he didn't play, Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others did, but they didn't spend any points, nor did other players.
Although points could make you a big shot, everyone wasn't dumb; in such a dangerous environnt, points were extrely precious.
It would be a waste to spend them on points simply for the sake of being a big spender.
Even the most mischievous kids wouldn't spend their points on the ga; these days, the truly foolish have all died off, while those still alive were all smart as whips.
The main thing was that the ga was only around for three days of play, who would be silly enough to spend their points on it? If it were a permanent feature, maybe indeed so players would be willing to top up for entertainnt.
A three-day experience card that costs money? Pure foolishness.
The only useful activities for him this ti were two: one was vehicle enhancent with no upper limit, and the other was that players could purchase any item on the Star Map, exempting new players from the rule about not getting items from the outside world.
He took the opportunity to buy a Head Therapy Device for Tie Chui, later upgrading it to the Ultimate Edition, though it didn't have any effect. Tie Chui's imagination had no diseases; why it was so, he couldn't figure out at the mont.
As for Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others, after browsing the Star Map for half a day, they each purchased a prop they fancied.
It was not long since Sword Without End and the others had joined him, and on regular days, they didn't have many opportunities to earn points and didn't have much of a points balance.
Jiaye, Tie Chui, Sword Without End, Tuberculosis Rabbit,
He gave each of them two million points.
Spending eight million.
That was as spending money, giving them enough options on the Star Map.
And with that, his own points balance, which had been over fifty million, was now only 17.88 million.
He had many props, skills, and titles that needed to spend points, he needed to save so for ergencies.
Besides, there were other places where points needed to be used.
He needed to find a way to earn more points.
He was running short on points, and the idea Tuberculosis Rabbit had ntioned about opening a mall in Sky City to make money didn't seem feasible either, only... To open a mall in Sky City would require a lot of money, and his funds were still far from enough.
Chen Yi shook his head, stopped his wild thoughts, and decided to take things one at a ti. Of the eight Zenith Radiance devices he brought from the White Phoenix Clan, he had only used one; there were still seven unused.
