Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

In Wildfire Town, at Bernice's usual cocktail bar.

Bernice had washed the dirt off her face, and her skin was now rosy and radiant again.

Cheers! To celebrate the new life of our motorcycles!

"Cheers to celebrating our early completion of our work."

Two thick-walled mugs collided, causing the purplish-red liquid inside to ripple and produce a crisp sound.

Glug, glug!

After drinking two specially made fuel-rich drinks, I felt very refreshed.

"How was it? Not bad, right?"

Bernice looked at Su Chen with great anticipation, her eyes sparkling.

She was impressed by Su Chen's skills in motorcycle modification.

She also hoped to gain Su Chen's approval when it came to making her own oil-based drinks.

"The top notes are stimulating, with the alcohol dancing on the taste buds like a flame. The middle notes are agarwood, with a subtle woody aroma that is captivating. The base notes are refreshing, with a pleasant apple scent that leaves a pleasant aftertaste."

Su Chen savored it carefully and praised, "A very good specialty drink, just my taste."

"You understand so well!"

Bernice looked at Su Chen and felt as if she had met a kindred spirit.

Brands like Caesar, Pai Pai, and Wright only know how to praise the taste after drinking it. Although they are sincere, it still feels quite lacking.

Lucy can talk a bit, but unfortunately she doesn't praise often; it takes a long time to make her feel good.

It's wonderful to hear Su Chen's praise now.

"A master chef's taste is something you can trust."

Su Chen raised his cup and smiled casually.

Among the many skills he drew, Little Chef's purple cooking skill is his favorite.

Combining imagination with reality, you can eat whatever you want anytime, which is really great.

This same principle can be applied to appreciating spirits and beverages, yielding many insightful observations. While not a professional wine taster, I can still offer fairly accurate assessments.

"A master chef? That's so cool!"

Bernice got excited and immediately mixed a brand new energy drink with several base spirits, pushing it in front of Su Chen: "Come on, have another one, this one has a different flavor!"

Su Chen downed the drink in one gulp, squinting his eyes to savor it: "Delicious! This cup has a smooth texture, a rich and mellow flavor, and is a very full-bodied special blend."

I have to say, Bernice really has some skills.

The drink he mixed was so innovative that he wanted to try a few more.

"Mmm-hmm!" Bernice nodded repeatedly and poured herself a drink.

It's hard to find a true friend, so she'll have a drink with me!

"Come again!"

She then handed over a new cocktail, with a completely different recipe.

"It tastes great, lively but not irritating, with a very refreshing fruity flavor."

Su Chen drank it down in one gulp and gave an objective evaluation.

Bernice: "Again!"

Su Chen: "It tastes good..."

Bernice drank a glass: "Have a drink with me!"

So she used all her skills to prepare the oil-based drink and brought it to Su Chen.

Su Chen accepted all the drinks offered, enjoying the various flavors of the beverages. Some contained alcohol, some did not, but they all tasted quite good.

To add some accompaniment, he also created several refreshing snacks, which, when combined, have a unique flavor.

Bernice listened to the comments, and if she felt comfortable with them, she would have a drink with them.

The two clinked glasses, ate the side dishes, and drank with great enjoyment.

……

the other side.

On the Hellfire Cycling route.

Ling, Zhe, Pai Pai, Wright, Billy, and their group are diligently collecting data and creating guide maps.

Emerging from another hole, the group finally stopped to rest for a while.

Pai Pai took out non-alcoholic fuel drinks from the truck's refrigerator to quench everyone's thirst.

Zhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a sip of his fuel-rich drink, and said, "We've collected nearly a third of the data so far. We expect to complete half of the work today, and all the data collection will be finished tomorrow. We'll come back to verify it the day after tomorrow, and then everything should be fine."

Ling leaned back on the car with a relaxed expression and nodded, saying, "In short, we'll definitely be able to finish the work before the Hellfire Ride begins, and we'll even have two more days to get used to it."

Looking at her frail brother, she couldn't help but feel pity.

She was the main player this time, but she was fine. However, she got exhausted following her brother, who was doing the work of her assistant.

It seems that she will have to take on the responsibility of protecting her brother from now on.

She's already annoyed enough by her and Su Chen, and she can't let her brother be bullied by outsiders.

"As expected of Phaethon, his work efficiency is indeed high."

Wright gave a thumbs-up and praised sincerely.

He had also seen many rope craftsmen work very slowly, often requiring several measurements for a single data point.

This is the first time I've seen something as efficient as Phaethon.

"Of course! Before Boss Su Chen arrived, the store manager and the others saved us many times!"

Billy put his arm around Zhe's shoulder and said with great pride.

This is the Rabbit House's permanent ally, the most reliable ropemaker!

"Being rescued so many times shouldn't be something to be proud of, right?"

Ling touched her forehead and said, somewhat speechless.

"Hehe." Billy wasn't embarrassed at all: "I'm just promoting you guys, so the Wright brothers know how great you are."

"No need for publicity, I can already tell."

Wright pushed up his sunglasses, feeling exasperated by his unconventional senior.

Suddenly, he looked back and said, "Things are going well here. I wonder how our locomotives are doing."

He was in the passenger seat the whole way. Although the speed was fast, it was definitely more comfortable to ride a motorcycle.

"You can rest assured about my boss Su Chen's skills."

Billy immediately jumped out and patted his chest to assure him.

In his excitement, he took out the Star Knight Transformation Device and said proudly, "This is Boss Su Chen's masterpiece. After transforming, my kicking power is 103 tons, my punching power is 85 tons, and I also have the Metal Leather and Wood Bending and Strength..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Who asked you?"

Ling quickly stopped her, otherwise they would bring up the fact that she had once defeated a lowly soldier.

"This person has heard these words eight hundred times along the way."

Pai Pai lowered his head and said weakly.

She was quite interested at first, but now she's indifferent.

"LOL, really?"

Billy scratched his head, then stopped, still seemingly unsatisfied: "What I mean is, Boss Su Chen is really good at this; four motorcycles definitely won't be a problem for him!"

Ling looked in the direction of Wildfire Town and guessed, "He's probably working hard right now, isn't he?"

"It should be. This person spent a week modifying the metal teeth before."

Pai Pai nodded, corroborating with his own experience: "Motorcycles are simpler, but they're not that fast either."

"Alright, since Su Chen is working diligently, let's continue!"

Ling perked up and said seriously.

So the group explored the Fire Hell Cycling route again, carefully collecting data at every point.

……

evening.

Ling and her group finished their work for the day and returned to Wildfire Town.

Nicole and her friends had already made contact with the right people and carefully selected a prime location in Wildfire Town to set up their temporary stall. Everything was going very smoothly.

When everyone returned to Wildfire Town, they saw Su Chen and Bernice enjoying a drink together.

Bernice sat there drunk, occasionally leaning against Su Chen.

Ling, who had been thinking about how hard Su Chen worked that morning, was now rolling her eyes.

I thought you were busy screwing in your motorcycle, but it turns out you were passionately drinking with a beautiful woman?

Is it really necessary to enjoy yourself like this?!
