Chapter 1248 - 1246: Departure

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1246: Departure

Through the sight of the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, Gu Xi could clearly feel that all the earth veins and spirit veins on the White Ghost Mountain were treated in such a manner.

And they filled the earth veins with skulls and parts of the scalp.

Looking at the city ahead, which could house at least three hundred thousand people, Gu Xi couldn’t help but wonder where these skulls came from.

"There are two ways to get to Ghost Breath City, one is to take the express train from the local station.

Or you can rent a car and drive there, both options are not far.

Going to Ghost Breath City is just a little over three hours away."

Listening to Tang Shuang’s introduction, Gu Xi suddenly asked.

"If I ride my mount there, how long will it take?"

"Ha, seventeen days."

Tang Shuang thought for a moment, "I only know the general situation. If you want to know the specific time, wait until you enroll in Netherworld University and apply for a Netherworld Travel Study.

That’s an opportunity to walk the Netherworld.

The longest time used by a player I remember went as long as twenty-one years.

However, he purely relied on walking, checking in at every place.

And precisely because of this, he had no limits at the Level 40 checkpoint, as long as his experience was enough, he could leap through.

You could say he spent these twenty-one years to trade for the best future."

Hearing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh, seems like there are naturally talented people everywhere.

"How do you plan to go now?"

At this moment, Tang Shuang asked.

"What do you think?"

Gu Xi was unfamiliar with this place, so naturally, he followed along with someone leading the way.

"If you take the train, you’ll have to check for tickets for the upcoming schedules.

But I’m always unlucky with tickets, sometimes even when I arrive, tickets are sold out.

If we rent a car, we can go now, but someone will need to drive along the way."

"I can drive, I have the Pathfinding Skill. As long as there’s a map, I won’t get lost."

Gu Xi immediately spoke of his ability.

Tang Shuang glanced at Gu Xi, feeling somewhat speechless.

"I don’t know where you come from with such off-the-beaten-path abilities, your foundational skills as an Undead Mage are poor, yet you’ve learned a bunch of odd abilities."

"There’s no choice, I’m only 20 this year, just graduated two years ago, progressed too quickly."

Gu Xi shrugged, he had already explained his situation to Tang Shuang on the way.

And expressed his desire to enroll in Netherworld University.

So Tang Shuang believed Gu Xi’s explanation of rushing levels too quickly.

About Gu Xi’s actions, she could only say helplessly.

"It’s shameless to say, if not for mastering the Death Three Divine Skills and stepping onto the path of the Lord of the Underworld before Level 5, with your flimsy foundation, you would have to attend remedial classes outside Netherworld University for at least a year."

Seeing Tang Shuang’s indignation, Gu Xi could only laugh.

He understood Tang Shuang was envying his good fortune.

She hadn’t mastered the Death Three Divine Skills; she entered Netherworld University through exams before Level 15.

For this exam, she prepared for four full years.

During these four years, her level didn’t increase by even 1, just continually filling gaps in her knowledge.

Even so, she almost didn’t pass to enter Netherworld University.

Whereas Gu Xi just needed to go, mention his profession and level, and he’d be admitted.

That’s the distance between people.

Gu Xi understood why Tang Shuang showed such jealousy.

Despite saying so, Tang Shuang didn’t forget her tasks.

She took Gu Xi to the car rental point near White Ghost Mountain, renting a two-person car.

When they rented the car, Gu Xi was somewhat surprised.

Because the car seemed like a regular car, quite shabby, with paint peeling off the body.

Inside, unlike other transportation tools, there weren’t any expansions.

Inside was just like a regular five-seater sedan.

Initially wanting to get in the car, Gu Xi got directed by Tang Shuang to the passenger seat.

"You sit in the passenger seat, watch how I operate. I’ll drive for the next three hours, after getting the Primordial Body, we’ll drive to Netherworld University.

About seven hours ahead, you drive half, I drive half."

"Alright!"

Gu Xi heard and didn’t say more. He understood this car covered the road in short three hours compared to the seventeen days the mount needed, implying some differences in means.

If not mastered, it could cause issues.

Joking aside, Gu Xi and Tang Shuang wouldn’t gamble their lives.

After getting in the car, Gu Xi fastened all the seat belts.

Then he turned to look at the control panel of the driver seat.

The car was no different from a regular car, just steering wheel to control direction and two gears.

Wait.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Xi glanced at the gears, felt something was off.

"You see this is regular speed, and this is jump driving speed."

Tang Shuang got in the car and began explaining to Gu Xi.

Also briefing about road conditions.

"When driving, the windshield will display some routes, when the route markers appear green, it’s a place to jump forward.

We’ll then hang the gear and count jumps.

Remember how many jumps we’ve made.

Because each jump could cover a day’s normal driving distance.

If we jump too much, we might overshoot."

"Don’t worry, I got it."

Only then did Tang Shuang nod, adjusting her seat.

For some reason, when Tang Shuang started introducing, it was fine, but upon adjusting her seat, Gu Xi felt uneasiness.

A sense of being dominated by a female driver.

"Hey, Senior, maybe I should drive first."

"No need, I’m experienced; you’d hardly see where my car is."

As soon as Tang Shuang finished, Gu Xi felt a strong force pushing from behind.

Then Gu Xi saw a plethora of information appear on the windshield.

Where one could jump, the next jump spot, everything came with indicators.

Now Gu Xi understood why driving by car was so fast.

This jump driving was essentially a time-free highway.

Enter one service area, immediately emerge at another.

Not a second wasted.
