Shuihua was in a daze for a good while.
After snapping back to reality, she swiftly blocked that boyfriend as well.
Finally, looking at the remaining girlfriend, she hesitated briefly but still decided to keep her.
“What if she’s involved in subsequent plot developments?
Better keep her for now and see how things go this evening,” Shuihua explained.
“Now, let’s head to the deceased insured person’s last known location and investigate the situation.”
She left the office while pulling out her mobile phone and pressed the car icon.
In the underground parking garage, her big red SUV started on its own, slowly exiting the parking spot, and by the time she walked out of the Shield Security Company gate, it was just stopping in front of her.
Shuihua entered the destination in the car, and it started moving on its own again.
Ignoring the viewers’ exclamations of wonder at the “auto-navigating” feature, she started figuring out how to change the car’s paint job to white on the central control console.
——[Mimicry Paint] not only allows the owner to change colors at will but also to draw or import images in order to create their own “Itasha.”

In stark contrast to the calm and mundane daily grind of a [Company Employee] start, the Wanderer’s start was much more intense.

Super Tomato chose the Wanderer start.
After watching an introduction about the culture and customs of the border regions, he was stuffed into a pickup truck to participate in an off-road race.
The car he was driving was nowhere near as advanced as Shuihua’s.
No automatic parking, no self-driving, no mimicry paint…
not one luxury!
Moreover, the car was covered in dents and scratches–– in a word, it was a total clunker.
Fortunately, his competitors weren’t rich either, each driving old cars, making them evenly matched.
“Bang!”
A gunshot sounded.
Engines roared as more than a dozen cars charged past the imaginary starting line, kicking up clouds of dust.
Super Tomato started off driving seriously, aiming to get to the front.
But he quickly realized: this kind of rough terrain was not made for racing at all!
The car’s terrible suspension was killing his backside!
If it weren’t for the seat belt, he could have slammed his head through the windshield.
“Hahaha!
Keep it coming!”
A loud yell came from the right, and Super Tomato turned his head to find a spirited young man with a head full of blond hair throwing a can into his window.
He grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and picked up the can to look—it wasn’t what he had expected.
——It wasn’t a soft drink, but alcohol!
Canned fierce wine!
“What the…
Who drinks alcohol while driving??”
“Are all you Wanderers this hardcore?”
Super Tomato complained bitterly, but as he did, he noticed the “brother” beside him holding the steering wheel with one hand and chugging the drink with the other, making his heart skip a beat.
Yet, despite his enthusiastic singing, there were no signs of impairment, and the car drove steadily.
Super Tomato then remembered: Wanderers have stronger physical bodies and resistance to negative states, perhaps not just in combat power, but reflecting in daily life as well, enabling them to drink without getting drunk?
He eyed the alcohol for a few moments, but still shook his head and put it down.
It was better to stay cautious during the live stream.
Though he refrained from drinking, the other competitors did, enjoying themselves while singing at the top of their lungs across the wilderness as they drove.

The car radio blasted music that harmonized with everyone’s singing, merging into an uplifting background track that quickly made Super Tomato forget the bumpy ride and feel a sense of wildness and freedom.
So he floored the accelerator, laughing as he surged toward the front.
And then—
“`
He flew into the air.
The ground exploded as if bombed, generating smoke and dust several meters high and hurling the Super Tomato’s man and his car into the sky.
But it wasn’t bombing; instead, a colossal beetle burst from the underground, flipping the car over!
Super Tomato had not expected this twist.
The car tumbled through the air, spinning wildly, with various trinkets flying about.
The unopened can of Fierce Wine also cracked open on his forehead, spilling liquor everywhere.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!” After three heavy impacts, the car finally came to a stop, upside down.
Super Tomato, his face covered in blood and alcohol, cut the safety belt and clambered out through the broken window, looking back to see what had happened.
What he saw left him dumbfounded — he almost thought he had entered the wrong game!
He actually saw a group of people hunting monsters!
All the NPCs who had been drag racing were no longer racing; instead, they were shooting at the giant beetle that had emerged from underground.
— That wasn’t a beetle; it only looked somewhat similar because its body was covered with a thick shell.
In fact, the monster had not only a shell but also knife-sharp forelimbs and pointed rams.
The Wanderers sprayed bullets, which only sparked off the shell, hardly causing any damage.
But if the monster got a chance, it could smash a car to pieces with a single charge of its head!
“What the hell is this?”
“A mutant beast!” the blond-haired guy shouted, “A perfect mutant beast without disfigured genes!
We’re gonna be rich!”
Super Tomato found a weapon in his car and joined in, shooting while he asked, “Rich?
How so?”
“A perfect mutant beast without aberrant genes!
Selling it to Spirit Wing Pharmaceuticals would get us at least three B-grade genetic enhancements, or even an A-grade one!
If we convert those to cash, after splitting it, we’ll have enough to buy half a year’s worth of grain!”
Super Tomato didn’t know the market rates, but he felt that things might not be so optimistic—
“I have a feeling it’s not looking too good… Our firepower can’t pierce its defenses, can it?”
As he spoke, the beetle monster charged headfirst into another car, this time hitting the gas tank, causing the entire car to explode violently in flames.
Luckily, the person who took cover behind the car was agile enough to dodge in time, avoiding death.
“Can we really win this fight?” Super Tomato stammered.
When he turned around, what he saw was no longer the spirited young guy from before, but a nearly man-sized armored giant wolf!
— Of course, it could also be a dog.
Super Tomato wasn’t sure.
Mainly because this big fellow’s fur color was off; it was actually golden!
Since when were there golden wolves?
There were plenty of golden dogs, though…
“Brother, is this a dog or a wolf?”
Asking this question might be asking for a beating, but Super Tomato couldn’t curb his curiosity.
“Cough cough cough!”
The Brother, who was about to declare his presence with a howl, choked on the question, coughing fiercely several times before angrily saying:
“Landon!!
My nickname is Landon!!
Are you questioning if I’m a wolf or a dog??”
“Wolf, wolf, wolf!” Super Tomato instantly backed down.
The big dog bared his teeth at Super Tomato, shook his golden fur imposingly, and turned to charge at the beetle.
Meanwhile, the former drivers were also completing their transformations and gear changes, becoming animals or half-beasts like leopard-men or tiger-men; only a few used prosthetic weapons.
It was evident that the introduction stating Wanderers’ reverence for nature was not an empty claim.
Super Tomato watched the intense collisions in front of him between armored beasts, half-beast men, and the giant mutant beetles, and felt a profound sense of dissonance.
“Is this game really called ‘Cyber Chang’an,’ and not ‘Fury Battles Mutant Beasts’?”
