Chapter 8 The Beach in My Dreams
As Xu Rui passed by a storage bin he had built, he casually granted Chen Wang the sharing permissions.
The storage bins are in a great location, right next to the automatic paving machine.
When Chen Wang opened it, he was quite surprised.
The metals, ceramics, and chiral particles needed for paving were all packed inside.
The number is just enough to build this section of highway.
Chen Wangxin understood immediately and provided the materials to the paving machine.
The rusty machine seemed to be reborn, radiating a huge blue light that outlined a wide and straight highway.
A holographic projection appeared above the machine's head.
"Thank you for your contributions to Rainbow City!"
The projection shows a middle-aged man and woman standing in front of a desk, smiling and giving a thumbs up.
Because it contributed the most material, this section of the highway will henceforth be attributed to "Chen Wang".
This is a tremendous sense of accomplishment, not only from the name marked next to the paving machine, but also from the praise given by all the deliverymen who have embarked on this road.
Taking the descending elevator, Chen Wang returned to the noisy Superpower Dispatch Center.
As he unloaded his gear and placed his hat on the shelf, he listened to the voice prompts from the automated checkout terminal.
"Less than 5% of cargo was damaged, achieving an S-level rating. Congratulations! Mission complete."
Chen Wang's phone vibrated; the 300 yuan reward had been credited to his account.
In addition, the settlement terminal also dispensed a crystal canister.
It's lightweight and convenient to hold. This is a crystal jar specifically designed for collecting chiral substances; it's portable and almost weightless.
When using surface functions such as construction, the participation of chiral materials is required, so it can be said that the more stock you have, the better.
This was the unique reward for this order. Chen Wang put away the crystal jar, changed into casual clothes, and left the company.
His upgrade panel was also displayed on the handcuffs' phone.
Melee ability upgraded to level 2
[Superpower: Sam's Power upgraded to level 2]
He recalled Sam in Death Stranding, who could indeed gain multi-dimensional ability enhancements through delivery.
In other words, training a certain skill will improve that skill to a certain extent. The so-called "leveling up" means becoming more and more proficient through practice.
This is also one of his golden touches.
Only after stepping out the door did he realize how exhausted he was.
I took the bus, passed through the bustling Hongcheng neighborhood, and finally returned to my loyal little home. I collapsed onto the bed, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
...Gurgle.
The sound of bubbles in water.
It was as if I could still glimpse a dazzling white light through the water's surface, but my body was submerged in the unknown seawater. Fortunately, I didn't feel suffocated.
The water's surface, instead, created a mirage, like a film projecting events unfolding in some corner of the world.
"What about those other kids?"
A tall man sat on a throne made of animal hide, and a flag was planted on the ground that read "King Mil".
He was wearing a skull-shaped mask, obscuring his face, and questioned his men.
"Your Majesty, they are on vacation in Rainbow City!"
King Mir roared, "Bring them back! We've had so many deliverymen on land these past few days; we're already short-handed!"
As he finished speaking, the beauties on either side of him pressed themselves against him with silky smooth skin. "King Mir, calm down~"
King Mir murmured something and then ignored his hastily departing subordinates.
The water screen movie gradually blurred, as if a transition was about to begin.
In the final moment before disappearing, King Mir seemed to suddenly sense something, abruptly raising his head and staring intently at the camera.
Chen Wang couldn't help but shudder.
Then, the screen showed the men who were supposedly on vacation, as mentioned by his subordinates.
They sat in a private room at a KTV in Hongcheng, chatting and laughing with their arms around each other.
One of them took out his phone, saw the order from King Mir, his expression changed, and he became furious. He and several colleagues then launched a verbal attack on King Mir.
But they dared not disobey, and after a short while, they dismissed the young lady and left reluctantly.
Chen Wang recognized the faces of these passersby.
It was the group of people who called out to Li Mengyao through the glass in the coffee shop that day.
……
Ta-da!
The doorbell rang, and Chen Wang opened his eyes. Outside the window, the sky was cloudless.
"It's me, Haozi, open the door! You're not still sleeping, are you?!" The shouts from outside the door grew increasingly impatient.
"Here it is!" Chen Wang pulled up his pants and glanced at his phone as usual.
He slept for ten hours straight. And next to the skill bar, the two blue squares started flashing again.
This means that the abilities of superhumans have limitations, just like how a tired person shouldn't run, and they need sufficient sleep to recover.
He opened the door, and there was a bowl of instant noodles right in front of him.
"Good things are happening soon, buddy, I absolutely have to treat you to a meal!"
Without waiting for Chen Wang's reply, Haozi walked into the room, plopped down at the computer desk, and looked up at the ceiling.
Chen Wang closed the door, looked at his best friend who was both strange and familiar, and asked with a smile, "Did the goddess agree to marry you?"
"What are you talking about! You know I never take the initiative; it's always the girls who do."
"I'm just screening people, you know, so I'm still single."
Upon seeing his own delivery uniform, Haozi stood up, placed the protective suit on the bed, and carefully folded it.
"I lent you these clothes during my vacation, but I don't know if you've used them."
"I used it and completed one order," Chen Wang said.
"How are you feeling?" Haozi had just finished speaking when he saw the jar of chiral substance crystals on the bedside table.
He grabbed it, stuffed his glasses inside, and looked at it for a long time. "Not bad, Chen Wang! Not only did you complete the run, but you also got an S-level rating! You'll even get a small gift!"
Whether you're a super courier or a regular deliveryman, an S-rank rating often means better rewards. Among these rewards, chiral substances are like toilet paper at a street lottery stall—useful and generous freebies.
He assumed Chen Wang was wearing his clothes, had copied his information, and then completed the order.
However, they completely forgot that Bida Logistics, as one of the top logistics companies in Hongcheng, would never impersonate someone else.
"But this amount isn't enough to do anything," Haozi said, shaking the crystal jar. "Once you pass the Bida Logistics exam, we'll be colleagues. We can deliver together, have company on the road, and accumulate more and more chiral materials."
Haozi is a good person, easygoing and straightforward, but also meticulous, and he cares about his brothers.
Chen Wang then asked him, "So what did you do during your vacation these past few days?"
Haozi had already packed his work clothes into the cargo box. Then, he skillfully pulled a white T-shirt from the closet and tossed it to Chen Wang.
"That's exactly what I wanted to share with you! Come on, let's go downstairs for dinner, and we can talk while we eat!"
Hongcheng, near the rental apartment.
It was afternoon tea time, but Chen Wang was still very hungry, so he spent a long time choosing a restaurant before finally settling on one.
"Ya, you really know how to pick a restaurant," Haozi said, sitting across from him at the table. "It's the middle of the afternoon, and the restaurant is so lively."
When they arrived, the restaurant was already full, but luckily the table in front of them had finished eating, which filled the empty seats.
Compared to other restaurants, this one is clearly quite special.
Most of the diners are young people from nearby apartment buildings. Their intense struggles have made them forget the importance of eating on time.
Of course, as a top-tier underground city in the country, the price of prosperity in Rainbow City is high-intensity and fast-paced work. They have no choice; perhaps this is the only leisure time they have after a busy day.
Eat a hearty meal, go upstairs to sleep, and the day is over.
