Chapter 23: Unexpectedly, Brother Chen, You Like This

They sat in the car.

Qiu Guang was still savoring Su Chen’s words from earlier.

He felt even more admiration for Su Chen in his heart.

“Drive carefully; once we reach the outskirts of town, go as fast as you can.”

Su Chen looked at Qiu Guang, who had a strange smile on his face.

He reminded him again.

“Yes, Brother Chen.”

Qiu Guang nodded slightly.

The outskirts of town had quite a few things.

They needed to rush over as quickly as possible.

The current city was nothing like before.

There was a vast suburban area between each city.

It was all a place for survival.

One could even say that each city was surrounded.

Reaching another city from this one was very dangerous.

Under normal circumstances, no one would cross cities.

Unless they had special classs, like hunters.

Or perhaps some business people.

Su Chen wanted to go to Zhentan City because he had matters to attend to.

He discovered that there was also a treasure chest in the neighboring city.

According to his current situation, it was impossible for him to go.

After all, riding his own bike, he wouldn’t be able to cross the city in a day.

And the intercity buses only ran once a week.

There were none today.

But now that Qiu Guang had a car, it was different.

They could go directly.

They could open another treasure chest.

Su Chen was certainly willing.

“By the way, I haven’t checked what the try again fruit was.”

Su Chen suddenly remembered.

He had obtained the try again fruit from the Night Bureau.

He hadn’t had time to check its effects.

【try again fruit: After consumption, time rewinds by one hour, giving you another chance.】

Hiss!

Su Chen gasped in surprise.

This try again fruit was surprisingly terrifying?

“To rewind and try again, that’s what it means!”

Time rewinding by one hour.

It didn’t seem like a long time.

But if it was truly an emergency situation, one hour was enough to do many things.

“I need to keep this; it might save my life in the future.”

Su Chen didn’t need to use it just yet.

“Brother Chen, we’re almost at the outskirts of town; hold on!”

At that moment, Qiu Guang reminded him.

Su Chen nodded slightly.

The car quickly left the city.

Qiu Guang showed no hesitation and pressed the accelerator.

Suddenly, they sped up.

The cars nowadays were all specialized.

Under normal circumstances, they could escape even when encountering Rank 1.

However, if they faced a group, it would just depend on luck.

Although Zhentan City was the neighboring city, the distance between the two cities was still quite far.

At Qiu Guang’s current speed, they should arrive before evening.

“Brother Chen, what exactly are you going to Zhentan City for?”

Qiu Guang was a bit curious at that moment.

He wondered why Su Chen had to go to Zhentan City.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Su Chen hadn’t thought of a good excuse yet.

After all, the matters regarding the System couldn’t be known by anyone.

Since Su Chen didn’t say anything, Qiu Guang didn’t ask further.

They chatted intermittently along the way.

“Brother Chen, I recently flirted with a girl again and want to ask her out. How can I say it in a more sophisticated way?”

Qiu Guang asked.

His last girlfriend had made him feel uncomfortable for a long time.

But now that he was Awakened, even if it was a bad gift.

For ordinary people, that was someone they would need to look up to.

For Qiu Guang, he had regained the right to choose a partner.

“This is simple.”

Su Chen said while playing with his phone, “Just say, ‘I crave your body, craving it a lot.'”

Qiu Guang: ……

“Brother Chen, although I lack culture, don’t put me in a difficult position.”

Qiu Guang felt that this was not a good thing to say.

Saying it like that to a girl, even if she was Awakened, wouldn’t be good, right?

Along the way, they didn’t encounter any groups.

However, they did come across a few scattered ones.

Fortunately, Qiu Guang’s speed was fast enough.

Those creatures didn’t catch up.

By evening, Su Chen and Qiu Guang finally arrived at Zhentan City.
