Chapter 18: Even Getting a Car Can Be Suffocating?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ding! You have automatically checked in and received a poison pistol! This pistol’s bullet can instantly corrode any creature it hits, including those that have mutated! Moreover, it has infinite poison ammo!”
It was the following morning. Before Su Chen could even open his eyes, he already heard the system’s voice.
A gun barrel as thick as his wrist appeared in his hand.
It was a short, stout pistol with a blueish-green glow at the tip.
Su Chen examined it.
This was the real thing!
Just in time too.
Based on what the woman had described yesterday, there should be more than just the mutated wolves at the abandoned nuclear power plant.
In fact, there might be a boss monster.
This equipment would definitely come in handy.
With that, the preparation for the nuclear power plant was basically completed.
Su Chen planned to look around the nuclear power plant before taking the next steps.
He picked up his phone. The nuclear power plant was located in a town called Xiao Mei village.
It was about eight o’clock when Su Chen tried to book a taxi.
However, no one was picking up his order.
Not a single driver.
One of them even left a message for him.
“Don’t go to that d*mned place! If you go, you’ll be digging your own grave.”
Since he was unable to book a taxi online, Su Chen decided to personally halt one downstairs.
Someone would definitely agree to take him there if offered double or triple the price!
After breakfast, Su Chen packed his equipment along with two energy bars and set off.
As soon as he left the hotel, he saw a row of taxis waiting for customers.
The drivers had nothing to do, so they gathered in groups and chatted.
Su Chen approached one of the drivers who was playing with his phone in the car. He asked through the window, “Hello, are you on duty?”
“Yes! Yes!”
The driver immediately perked up. He put away his phone and sat up straight!
“Where would you like to go?”
“To this location.”
Su Chen handed his phone to the driver.
When the driver saw the location, his expression immediately changed.
He looked troubled and shook his head.
“Sir, I’m sorry, I’m not going here.”
“You won’t? I’ll double the price.”
Since Su Chen was unable to book a taxi online, he was already mentally prepared.
He tried to use money as an enticement.
However, the driver shook his head again.
“Sir, this isn’t about money. It’s just too dangerous. I’m not going. Maybe you should ask the other drivers. Recently, that place has been attacked by wolves. The wolves are as big as cows! I’m really scared. Seriously, try asking someone else. They might be brave enough to agree!”
As the driver spoke, he pointed to the other drivers who were having a conversation beside him.
Then, he quickly rolled up his car’s window.
Su Chen was speechless.
He had no choice but to turn to the other drivers.
As he walked towards them, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and held it in his hand.
Perhaps no one would reject him once they saw the money.
“Hello, I want to go to this place. Could any of you take me there?”
The drivers looked at Su Chen.
They saw the hundred-dollar bill in his hand. This seemed to be a big job, so they immediately stopped chatting.
One of them approached Su Chen.
“Sir, where would you like to go? I’ll take you there.”
“I can take you there as well. Besides, I’ve just cleaned my car this morning so it’s really pleasant.”
“Sir, where are you going? I can even give you a discount.”
“I’m really friendly and good at making conversations. Tell me, where do you want to go?”
The drivers started to fight for the job!
Su Chen turned on his phone and showed them the location.
Once the drivers took a look, they subconsciously stepped back.
“Old Wang, you can take the job. I have to go home for lunch so I’m afraid I won’t make it back on time,” said one of the drivers to another who was older.
“That place has a nuclear power plant nearby! There might be nuclear radiation!”
“I’m not going. I won’t go even if you beat me to death!”
“That’s right. I’ve heard about how wolves have been attacking people! Sorry, I dare not go.”
“Sir, why don’t we go somewhere else? If you go to that place, you might end up dead!”
“Yea, I don’t want to become a wolf’s lunch!”
The drivers spoke all at once and over each other.
After they had finished talking, they immediately dispersed.
A couple of them returned to their cars while others went some distance away to continue chatting.
Su Chen had never suffered such humiliation! He did not even get the chance to bargain!
Shortly after, a middle-aged man who did not have much hair on his head walked past Su Chen and whispered, “Sir, that place is too dangerous. No one is willing to go there. I also strongly recommend against it. You have plenty of other options! This is not a joke!”
Su Chen did not want to waste any more time.
Most of the drivers were burly men.
It was really funny to see them be scared of a village.
‘Traveling by taxi is so inconvenient.’
Su Chen thought to himself.
Although he had the scamper skill, it was not suitable for a long distance.
‘I’m going to buy a car!’
Su Chen decided to drive to Xiao Mei village by himself.
Besides, if he ever wanted to go to other remote places, it would also be more convenient!
Since he had the ability to turn stones into gold, it would be a waste not to use it.
Su Chen left the group of drivers.
He went behind some bushes and found two stones. Then, he returned to the hotel.
When Su Chen entered the hotel lobby, the receptionist noticed the stones he was holding.
She stared in surprise as Su Chen got into the elevator.
Once he got back into his room, Su Chen placed the stones on the table.
He focused his mind and touched the two stones separately.
In an instant, the gray stones turned into actual gold.
Su Chen smiled.
Perfect!
The shape of the gold was a little strange, so he held them in his hands and began kneading them.
It was like kneading clay.
Soon, the gold pieces were shaped into gold bars.
However, he could not just use two gold bars to buy a car.
The salesperson would think he had robbed a bank and have him arrested.
He needed to change the bullion into cash!
There should be a gold store somewhere.
Su Chen immediately turned on his phone.
He looked up the address of the nearest gold store and quickly went there.
