I Don’t Want To Be Popular - Chapter 25
Chapter 25: Random Mission Box
Chen Chuan set the ecotourism area of the Foying Gorge as his destination on the designated driver app.
The designated driver started the car and looked at the navigation. She then glanced forward and backward before setting off.
The A6L car was spacious and comfortable for both the driver and passenger. It came with a good shock absorber, and its chassis offered great stability.
Chen Chuan adjusted his seat backward and sat in a comfortable position. He took pleasure in being the passenger as he viewed the scenery along the journey relaxingly.
After a while, the situation in the car became a little awkward as it was too quiet.
“I have experience driving an A6L, but it’s my first time driving an Audi with a 3.0T V6 engine. It’s really powerful,” said the designated driver.
“I see.”
“Why are you not driving? Is it because you’ve drunk alcohol?” The designated driver asked further.
“I’ve drunk a bit. By the way, have you ever encountered any type of car that you can’t drive when providing a designated driving service?” Chen Chuan changed the subject.
The designated driver thought for a moment. “Not really, but I’d go ahead and drive the car when I encountered such a situation sometimes. There was once where a car owner drove a Sequoia… The road conditions were unfavorable, and it took me a while to reach the destination…”
‘What’s Sequoia?’
Chen Chuan checked what Sequoia was using his phone. He found out that it was an SUV manufactured by Toyota. Sold at 1,000,000-plus yuan, the car had gone out of production.
What a large car. Despite having a slim waist and long legs, this female designated driver had managed to drive such a large car. How brilliant!
“Also, there was once… A drunk car owner who drove a Jaguar. When I got into the car, I searched for the gear selector. I couldn’t find it even after five minutes. I panicked and was covered with sweat. After giving the car owner a call, I finally learned that the gear selector will elevate after the engine has started…” The designated driver added.
“Hahaha.” Chen Chuan found it amusing.
The atmosphere in the car had become less awkward.
The two of them chatted off and on with each other. While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the designated driver glanced around the car and said, “You look quite young, don’t you? Does this car belong to your family or you?”
“My family,” replied Chen Chuan.
“I knew it. You look so young. A freshman at most. It would be too mature of you to buy an A6. Having said that, this car is really amazing. You’ll realize it when you drive the car for a longer time. It’s better to drive a new car than an old one. This new car has fine ride quality and stable chassis as well.”
“The light has turned green,” said Chen Chuan, pointing at the traffic light.
The car continued to move forward.
He had asked the designated driver to make stops when they passed by several attractions. He got down from the car and took some pictures to mark his visit to those places.
When they arrived at an internet-famous bubble tea store, Chen Chuan got down and waited in line to get bubble tea.
The slogan of the store was ‘A sip of the aromatic bubble tea is worth waiting for’.
The queue was really long, but Chen Chuan had a lot of time to spare.
When it was finally his turn, he bought four cups of Oolong Tea Latte with Taro Balls. Considering that he had waited for a long time, he bought two more cups which gave him a deeper sense of satisfaction
Chen Chuan could smell the fragrance of the tea once it had been brewed. He took a sip of the tea which was rich in flavor. He even got to savor the chewy taro balls and milky taste. Indeed, such a mixture provided him with a lingering after-taste.
[You have spent 144 yuan. You have earned double cashback totaling 288 yuan. The amount has been transferred to your account.]
After giving the designated driver a cup of bubble tea, Chen Chuan had two more cups left. He saw a young woman standing at the end of the line along with a pair of female twins, who were about five or six years old. The girls were sobbing due to the scorching weather, and the line in front of them was still very long.
Chen Chuan decided to give the two children the remaining two unsealed cups.
The young woman kept thanking Chen Chuan. She even insisted on adding him on WeChat to pay him back.
Chen Chuan did not mind such a miserable amount of money. At the woman’s insistence, he added her on WeChat.
Nevertheless, he did not click on the Red Packet that she had sent on WeChat.
Chen Chuan then got into the car. Drinking the milk tea, the designated driver raised her thumb.
She said, “How smart of you to ask for her WeChat ID.”
Chen Chuan was at a loss for words.
He then said, “I’m not the kind of person you think I am.”
“You don’t have to explain. I got it,” the designated driver replied.
After finishing their milk tea, they continued on their journey. From her conversation with Chen Chuan, the designated driver found out that he came here on vacation. Therefore, she did the honors and explained the attractions. She also made a point of driving to those destinations that were on their way so that Chen Chuan could take some photos there.
It was a long journey before they could reach the Foying Gorge. It was because they made several stops along the way, and the designated driver drove slowly.
After yawning, Chen Chuan comfortably moved his body in the passenger seat and fell asleep.
He slept soundly beside the beautiful female designated driver.
By the time he woke up, they had already left the main city. The car was moving on a highway.
Chen Chuan gazed at the soaring mountains from the car, which were shrouded in mist. He finally saw why this place was described as a mountain city.
He took a nap again. When he woke up later, he realized that the car was still.
‘Is this the destination? Where’s she?’ Chen Chuan looked around and noticed that the driver’s seat was empty. ‘Where did the designated driver go?’
He looked at the desolate land outside. ‘What’s going on?’
Then came footsteps shortly. From the rear-view mirror, Chen Chuan saw the designated driver walking out of a bush.
“What now? Is this the destination?” Chen Chuan asked while the designated driver pulled the car door open.
Looking a little flushed, the designated driver replied, “No, but we’re almost there. I just went outside to get some fresh air.”
Having yawned and taken a nap, Chen Chuan felt more energetic. He glanced at the backseat and noticed that the [Four Dreams of Linchuan] wooden sword was still there.
“Do you learn sword fighting? You’ve got a wooden sword,” said the designated driver.
“No, I don’t know how to use it. This lousy sword is merely a decoration,” replied Chen Chuan.
As they continued on their journey, he suddenly thought of the tool [White Heaven and Earth Bag].
This tool allowed Chen Chuan to transfer all of Du Hao’s special tools to his bag within the next three months.
At that moment, he opened the bag to check if there were any tools in it.
‘Each time I open the bag, I need to pay 1,000,000 yuan… What if there’s nothing in the bag after I’ve opened it? I’ll suffer a loss.’ After some consideration, he decided to open it.
It seemed like he was unboxing a gift with anticipation, not knowing what was inside.
The gift box was indeed expensive. It required 1,000,000 yuan each time before the bag could be opened.
Chen Chuan whispered, “Spending 1,000,000 yuan to open [White Heaven and Earth Bag]”
[You have spent 1,000,000 yuan. You have opened White Heaven and Earth Bag.]
[Detected Tool: Random Box of Millions]
Chen Chuan beamed with joy. Sure enough, it was well worthwhile!
It turned out that there was actually a tool called [Random Mission Box of Millions] in the box.
Du Hao had apparently gained this tool at some point, and now it had been transferred to Heaven and Earth Bag. Heaven and Earth Bag was certainly a precious item in the fourth slot.
The moment Chen Chuan wanted to withdraw the tool, he received another message. [This tool is sold at 3,000,000 yuan in White Heaven and Earth Bag. Would you like to buy it?]
Heh, this bag knew how to make a business deal!
Opening a bag would require 1,000,000 yuan!
Furthermore, the tools in the bag were not provided free! They cost 3,000,000 yuan. How expensive!
Fortunately, Chen Chuan was rich enough to afford it. He then spent 3,000,000 yuan to withdraw the tool.
Purchasing a tool from [White Heaven and Earth Bag] did not result in Expenditure Cash Return as Chen Chuan had expected.
[Random Mission Box of Millions]: When the amount of money you have exceeds 1,000,000 yuan, you can trigger a random mission under any circumstances. Once you have completed the mission, you will get a mystery reward. This tool lasts for three days with immediate effect.
Looking at the tool, Chen Chuan had figured it out.
At that moment, he had a balance of far more than 1,000,000 yuan in his card. This meant that the tool had taken effect.
In this case, what would be the mission he would instantly trigger?
Beep beep!
The designated driver honked at the car in front of her. However, the car continued to move at a snail’s pace. The sticker on the back of the front car showed ‘New driver here. Don’t rush. The closer you get, the slower I drive!’
Chen Chuan advised, “Be tolerant of the new driver. We’re not in a rush.”
“Oh well, I’ve got no idea how many new drivers got their driving licenses these days. Not only do they disobey the rules, but they also… and even…” The designated driver began to make negative comments about novice drivers.
As a novice driver himself, Chen Chuan felt as if he was in the Area of Effect. He dared not say anything.
The female driver was gentle and friendly when chatting with Chen Chuan. She was also in a cheerful mood when taking pictures of Chen Chuan at the attractions. Nevertheless, she had minor ‘road rage’, which could perhaps be regarded as an occupational illness.
At that moment, Chen Chuan received a message in his head.
[Random Mission Box of Millions] has been triggered. Check your current surrounding and trigger the random mission. After visiting 15 internet-famous local attractions within three days, you will be eligible for [3 Years of Driving Experience Certificate].
