Chapter 43 "I want the December Christmas event to have no Santa Claus anymore!!!
"System Notification: 'Santa Claus' 9 reindeer have stolen Santa Claus' gift box and have fled back to the 'past' to secretly sell them."
"You've apprehended one of Santa's reindeer, No. 2378; now, the remaining eight reindeer have run back to squeal on you."
"Now Santa Claus is on his way to kill you."
"Countdown to Santa Claus' arrival: 09:22:21"
"For player's information—"
"1: 'Santa Claus' is the neutral boss of December. Except when he or his reindeer are attacked or captured, he won't hurt any player, but his strength is equivalent to that of December's boss and far beyond the abilities of players in May."
"2: 'Santa Claus' can only act at night and cannot move during the day."
"3: Santa Claus can stay in the past for a maximum of 24 hours. If players survive for 24 hours, Santa Claus will return empty-handed."
"PS: If you successfully evade the pursuit, you'll receive a large number of rewards, including limited edition titles, a large amount of Points, rare props, etc."
"..."
With a blank face, Chen Yi stared at the system notification in front of him, and after a long silence, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, muttering in a trance.
"Tuberculosis Rabbit, Yi is sorry."
"Yi promised to take you to live a good life."
"Now it seems I'm going to break my word."
"What happened now?"
Startled by his words, Tuberculosis Rabbit's face flashed with panic. He drew a cigarette from his bosom with the fastest speed he had ever mustered, lit it, took a quick drag, then laid back in the chair with a look of relief, looking up at the sky casually.
"So tell me, when do I die?"
"I'm ready."
"I remember, when watching movies, every time I saw those people who, with their last bit of strength, lit a cigarette and then died before they could take a puff."
"Back then, I vowed to myself—"
"Before I die, I must light a cigarette as fast as possible, so I won't leave behind such a bloody regret."
"For that, I've worked hard for a long time."
"Finally—"
"From reaching for a cigarette to lighting it and inhaling, this complex series of actions, I can complete in only 0.7 seconds!"
Afterward, Tuberculosis Rabbit smacked his lips with some emotion, took another satisfied drag and said, "This is the second puff, I've made a profit; even in death, it's not a loss."
"This is what effort means."
"..."
Chen Yi swept a peculiar glance over Tuberculosis Rabbit, then looked at that countdown timer with 9 hours left, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed instantly with ferocity and ruthlessness, as he fiercely tossed the cigarette butt outside the sleigh.
He pulled out the sniper rifle, holding it in his hand, his voice hoarse and threatening as he said,
"It's just Santa Claus, isn't it?"
"Even if it's a god, as long as there's a health bar, I'll show you how I can slaughter them!"
"Forget Santa Claus, not even a god could withstand my 33 shots."
"Today—"
"I will make sure the December Christmas event has no more Santa Claus!!!"
"From now on, no gods in the world!"
Just then,
a new system notification popped up on his personal panel.
"Supplementary Notification: Santa Claus can recover 100 percent of his Maximum Health Value every second, and his health bar has over a hundred million points."
"..."
"Oh, got it; no problem then."
Chen Yi once again fell silent, and after a while, he took out a notebook and began to chew on his pen, deep in thought,
"Tuberculosis Rabbit, what do you say we should do if we only have 9 hours left to live?"
"Find some girls."
"That direct?"
"Should I be more subtle?"
After a moment of thought with his head tilted, Tuberculosis Rabbit finally said, "Get a few more, I've always wanted to experience what Daughter Country is like."
"Sure."
Chen Yi sighed softly, his voice a bit low,
"I'll take 99, you take 98; is that enough?"
"Should be about right."
"Alright, then that's the plan, but you have to lend me that prop."
"Which prop?"
"Cough."
Chen Yi held a fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, "It's that one that can make you think about nothing but dirty stuff for three hours and keep you up the whole time."
"No way!"
"Hey..."
Chen Yi immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to enlighten the Tuberculosis Rabbit about who the king of the hill was.
But at that moment—
He suddenly noticed the sun overhead, which was at its zenith.
He paused, a glint of revelation flashed through his eyes, and with a voice trembling with fragile hope, he said urgently.
"Quick, quick, check for me, what's the rotational speed of Blue Star?"
"466 meters per second, equivalent to 1667 km per hour."
"Yes, exactly like that!"
"Although we're in the northern hemisphere, where the speed may vary a bit, the difference isn't that significant."
Chen Yi stood up excitedly from the sleigh, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, his voice rapidly quivering, "What does this imply?"
"It implies that if we fly over the surface of Blue Star at this speed, against the direction of rotation, we will maintain the same relative position to the sun and thus keep the sky as it was at the start."
"Which means we can keep the sky above us bright all the time!"
"And that Santa Claus guy can only move around in the dark, which means he can't possibly catch us if we keep the sky above us lit!"
"After 24 hours, Old Man will have to return empty-handed!"
"But..."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, with a puzzled look, touched the sleigh beneath him: "Yi, do you really plan to get this thing up to a speed of 1667 km per hour?"
"Is that even possible?"
"Of course, it is!"
Chen Yi, looking at the nine hours left on the countdown, opened the sleigh's modification panel with hope in his eyes, "Don't forget, vehicles can be modified."
"As long as we have enough Points, it's not impossible to upgrade the speed to 1667 km per hour!"
"Let me see, let me see..."
Soon—
He found exactly what he was looking for.
'Modification Options': Supersonic Nitrogen Injection Cylinder.
'Modification Effect': Add one, which can increase the maximum speed of your vehicle by 100 km per hour.
'Modification Price': 20,000 Points.
'Modification Limit': Up to 100 per single vehicle.
"Yes, this is it."
Chen Yi started to calculate, fingers pinching.
The current maximum speed of the Mechanical Moose Christmas Sleigh is 280 km per hour.
"Which means I only need to add about 15 to boost the sleigh's top speed to 1780 km per hour, already above the rotational speed of Blue Star!"
"15 units, that's 300,000 Points."
"Let me check my Points Balance, 229,599, almost 230,000."
"Hmm... still short by 70,000 Points."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, sitting in the backseat of the sleigh with an emotional face, looked towards the rear of the sleigh, pondering how to fit 15 Supersonic Nitrogen Injection Cylinders onto the back of this sleigh.
The sleigh's rear doesn't have a shrinking feature, is there a place to stick 15 nitrogen cylinders?
Even if it had this feature, fitting in 15 would still be somewhat abstract.
A moment later.
He still spoke up to remind.
"Yi, I have to remind you of something."
"If the speed hits 1780 km and you haven't got a windshield or something..."
"Then our demise might resemble Lao Gan Ma with added diced chicken."
"By the way, Yi, do you like eating Lao Gan Ma?"
"Especially the kind with diced chicken."
