The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 992 Instantaneous Speed ​​(Part 7)

Liu Sheng really doesn't plan to continue delivering packages for the time being.

At least that's true today.

Although I only achieved 0.8015% of the target, which is less than 1%.

As for the money she had just received, she estimated it to be 3.624 Singapore dollars, which, according to the exchange rate here, was equivalent to 3.624 standard gold bars.

The new currency is a new currency issued by the Bureau of Special Effects after the Great Cataclysm.

Initially, everyone bartered or traded with gold. After order was restored, the Special Bureau collected the gold from the people, melted it down into standard gold bars for centralized management, issued currency based on gold, and even reopened electronic payments.

Initially, some people protested, feeling that it was something they couldn't see or touch, but as the financial order gradually stabilized, people got used to this monetary payment model again.

Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu took the money and went directly to a scrap metal recycling station to buy a discarded pickup truck.

Even though it's a scrap car, it's not cheap.

Liu Sheng then had the shopkeeper pack up a bunch of scrap metal and broken electronic devices, which allowed him to spend all his money.

Although the boss was puzzled as to what they wanted with all this junk, he was very happy to see that he had finally sold the items and made more money than when he bought them.

He muttered to himself, "If it weren't for the fact that you bought such a big item, I wouldn't have sold you these little things so cheaply!"

Liu Sheng smiled and didn't argue with him.

"But young ladies, how will you take them? I have porters here. It's only five yuan per person for a delivery within the city. It's a great deal!"

"no need."

Liu Sheng casually responded, took out a large bundle of bright yellow "ropes," and neatly tied up the pile of broken copper and scrap iron.

"Oh dear, even if this young lady is strong, she can't carry this much!"

The boss gave a wink to the few idlers who were rubbing their hands together at the door, signaling them to start carrying the food—the die was cast, and they had no choice but to pay.

He figured the two of them wouldn't refuse—but the next second, his eyes widened as he saw the tall, strong girl squat down, her arms bulging, her muscles working, and she lifted the entire body of the small pickup truck onto her back.

It's as light as carrying a blanket.

The idle men who were carrying the goods were also dumbfounded. They had originally wanted to rush over to help and maybe get some money, but now they were frozen in place, all with the same blank expression.

Compared to Qiao Yu's size, this small pickup truck, though not large, was enough to completely engulf her. Yet, she moved steadily and quite quickly.

After a while, the boss finally came to his senses and saw that the bundled junk was still there. He couldn't help but ask, "Then... do you want me to help you with the rest of this pile?"

"unnecessary."

This time, the girl who looked much thinner spoke up.

Without a word, she lifted her slender arms and carried all the bundled items on her back effortlessly, keeping up with the rapidly moving vehicle with light steps.

The two of them disappeared at the street corner, one after the other.

Only the boss and a group of movers were left frozen in place.

After a long pause, someone muttered under their breath, "As expected of the stingy Special Affairs Bureau... Is it really necessary to use their abilities here?"

……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu carried the junk out of the city, and with the help of Qiao Yu's concealment talisman, they successfully shook off the "little tail" behind them before stopping in front of an abandoned courtyard.

They discovered the courtyard the day before while delivering packages. It was originally supposed to be a gathering place for survivors, but now it's deserted and has become a small, eerie place.

The Special Affairs Bureau clearly hasn't had time to clean it up yet.

However, this did not deter them. They quickly dealt with the strange creatures that were entrenched there and then used the place as a temporary base.

In this way, Wang Qingguang no longer needs to run around the mountains and fields with them.

After all, she was only a six-year-old child, and not a new human who followed the "physical enhancement" route. She would get dizzy and her vision would go black even when standing on a flying sword, let alone go with them to deliver packages.

Just then, as soon as Liu Sheng entered the door, the little one immediately rushed over.

"Hey, watch out! I'm carrying something!" Liu Sheng quickly reminded him. "Luckily, I can sense it, or it would have really hit you."

The other person stood silently to the side, watching the two put away the broken copper and scrap iron on their backs.

"Sheng Sheng, is it too late?" Qiao Yu asked with some concern.

She knew Liu Sheng's goal, but today was already the third day. If he had to complete the promotion by the seventh day, wouldn't that be a bit too aggressive?

"It's alright." Liu Sheng had already crawled under the pickup truck, his voice coming from underneath. "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work. Once this thing is installed, the mission will be much easier."

Beside them, wrenches, screws, and other tools flew through the air, precisely being inserted under the vehicle according to instructions.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and take the order first. Anyway, I don't have anything to do here, so I'll use your account."

Liu Sheng did not refuse.

Putting all KPIs on one account is certainly more efficient.

“Once you’ve delivered it back, I should be almost done here too.” She said, handing over the bracelet with her little tentacles. “Also, see if we can connect to the StarNet.”

Qiao Yu then took the tablet and phone from the little tentacle.

These were all personally modified by Liu Sheng.

If you randomly open an app called "Doubo," a heavily made-up, muscular man will immediately appear on the screen, dancing seductively.

"Hey, isn't this Jiang Caibin?" Liu Sheng said from under the car, while the little tentacle's eyes, still hanging on Qiao Yu's shoulder, peered curiously.

Qiao Yu grinned and said, "Jiang Caibin doesn't have such a thick and flexible waist."

"Oh, yes, they do look somewhat alike."

"...and the face doesn't resemble it either."

"Ahem, as long as I can get online, that's fine." Liu Sheng quickly changed the subject. "The cell phones I got from the village before quickly lost internet access because no one paid the bills. Now I've changed it. I directly use SkyNet to access StarNet, bypassing the toll collection channel. The latency is almost zero, and I can communicate in real time."

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up: "That's great!"

She was still a little unaccustomed to the fact that StarNet was charging fees, after all, in the Tang Kingdom, StarNet was free and could even provide cultivation energy.

But actually, she remembered her parents saying that internet access fees had always been like this, and that this seemed to be the norm.

Not only that, StarNet is also divided into different levels. In fact, it was because Old Zhang bought the cheapest StarNet package that the delay reached 24 hours, turning the live broadcast into a pre-recorded broadcast.

While the more upscale Premium plan offers smooth service, it's outrageously expensive—5000 Singapore dollars per month, an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and even high-income delivery drivers can't afford to use it.

The "world" directly connects to the Star Network via the SkyNet and uses the Seven Mysterious Tokens to bypass the speed limit, thus naturally enjoying the highest speed.

"Isn't this a bit unethical?" Liu Sheng said.

"Well, at most we can help them optimize their StarNet as payment. But they might not even need it."

"The world" murmured, its meaning clear.

I have traced the relay path of the signal, which does indeed originate from distant deep space, but the location is too far and the data packets have undergone multiple transfers, so I cannot determine the exact coordinates at this time.

However, based on the comparison of latency and frequency shift data, it is very likely that it is located in the same place as the branch headquarters of Shunfeng Express.

At this moment, the little tentacle patted Liu Sheng gently, indicating that "I can evolve."

Okay, okay, but where is your next evolutionary opportunity?

The little tentacle shrugged, indicating that it didn't know either.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu had already gone out.

A message arrived shortly afterward.

Why is Douyin (TikTok) charging for live streaming now?

Liu Sheng glanced at it and saw that in Qiao Yu's screenshot, the page displayed "Today's viewing time has been used up. You can purchase a membership to unlock more content."

Besides the Basic version with an initial discount of 8 SGD, there are also Pro, Plus, and Premium plans, as well as an Enterprise plan. Of course, the prices increase exponentially.

However, the viewing time and the number of videos only increased exponentially.

[What a trap!] Liu Sheng exclaimed.

Do you want me to help you... crack it?

"No need, it doesn't look good," Qiao Yu replied.

But Liu Sheng knew in her heart that if it really wasn't good, she wouldn't be scrolling through it while walking.

Let the "world" give her the entire enterprise version right now.

We need a company.

[Shall we start a company?]

[Okay, the procedure doesn't seem complicated. It's just a matter of registering on the StarNet, though the entry point is hidden.]

Then the "world" fell silent.

After a while, they asked again: "What is the name of the company?"

Liu Sheng took a second to think.

Let's call it "New World Group".

[Should we choose "Information Technology Services" as our industry?] "World" suggests.

【Can. 】

Registration successful.

Congratulations! Besides "Instant Delivery," this planet finally has another company that can operate normally.

……

As darkness fell, Qiao Yu returned to the sound of upbeat music, her eyes still glued to her phone screen.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Fortunately, the journey wasn't boring."

Qiao Yu grinned, her phone still playing a video of a group of older women dancing.

"Oh, right, here you go."

She took out Liu Sheng's bracelet and handed it to him.

Liu Sheng glanced at the interface and found that his KPI points had increased by 30.

"It's really not easy."

Qiao Yu nodded: "We finished the difficult tasks yesterday, and now most of the remaining ones are low-weight tasks with low individual point values."

"From now on, we can only focus on volume," Liu Sheng said, patting the small pickup truck behind him. "We'll rely on this!"

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up at the sight.

Although it still looked old, dilapidated, and rusty, she could tell at a glance that it was just a disguise. The entire vehicle exuded a kind of deliberately suppressed energy. She tapped the body shell, and the sound was solid and dull, indicating that it was made of high-quality materials. The cargo bed had also been enlarged considerably, allowing it to carry more goods.

You can even see several dark openings hidden inside, and Qiao Yu guesses that there is plenty of firepower inside.

“And it can fly!” Liu Sheng said with a smile. “Now we don’t have to worry about wasting time on those potholed abandoned roads and rugged mountain paths.”

"But...won't this be too eye-catching?" Qiao Yu asked worriedly, remembering that Liu Sheng had mentioned something about "OOC".

"Not afraid."

Liu Sheng smiled and said to the air beside her:

"Qingguang, come here, show it to Sister Qiaoyu."

After he finished speaking, the courtyard became quiet and still.

However, the next second, the entire pickup truck vanished from reality without a trace, like a phantom blown away by the wind.

The spot where the car was originally parked is now completely empty.

……

Old Zhang returned after delivering the goods, it was already late afternoon of the next day.

We set off yesterday afternoon and spent the entire day driving at full speed, finally reaching three survivor settlements and completing the delivery of a truckload of goods.

However, when he arrived at the branch exhausted, he found a row of electric bikes parked haphazardly at the entrance, leaving him nowhere to park his bike.

Even more outrageous, all the usually busy deliverymen were gathered at the door.

Whether leaning, sitting, or standing, they were all staring down at the screens in their hands, their necks bent as if they were about to break, their faces glaringly bright from the screens. Various music and voices emanated from their phones and tablets, creating a cacophony of noise.

"What's going on? Why aren't you delivering the goods?"

Old Zhang frowned and asked several times, but his voice couldn't travel across the noise.

He had to give the young man with sallow hair sitting on the car seat a push before the other man looked up as if he had been startled awake, glancing at him with a confused look in his eyes.

But upon seeing who it was, their expression instantly changed.

Yellow Hair's eyes blazed with anger as he said in a vicious voice, "You old Zhang, you still have the nerve to say that! I'd like to ask you, where are your two masters?"

"What do you mean, two masters?" Old Zhang was a little angry when he was suddenly scolded. "What nonsense are you spouting, you blondie!"

When Huang Mao saw that Old Zhang was pretending to be ignorant, his temper flared even more, and his voice grew louder:
"Oh, still pretending!"

"Weren't you getting along pretty well with those two girls? Call them back right now, we need to settle this score! Are they trying to cut off our livelihood by doing this?!"

His voice was so loud that it startled the deliverymen around him who were engrossed in "Douyin Live".

The noise gradually subsided, and faces began to rise, glaring at Old Zhang with unfriendly expressions.

"So it's Old Zhang back! What? Didn't you go make a fortune with your master?"

"Hehe, their master probably doesn't want him either, lest he get in the way of their making money."

"That's true. How much do they earn from such a trip?"

"I'm afraid they'll be too greedy and won't be able to finish it. In that case, they'll have to cancel the order, and their performance bonus will be deducted, and they'll probably have to pay the company money."

"Exactly! Don't think that just because you're a high-level superhuman, you can outrun us old deliverymen. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye!"

Hearing this, Old Zhang finally vaguely discerned some clues.

This matter seems to be related to Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu.

"Wait, what's going on?"

The blond-haired man sneered, "Your low-level StarNet package is no good, is it? You can't see any updates, huh?"

As he spoke, he gestured with his chin toward the warehouse: "Go and take a look yourself."

Old Zhang was completely bewildered.

But clearly no one intended to explain it to him.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth, squeeze through the throngs of electric tricycles and the cold stares, and head towards the warehouse.

However, he was stunned as soon as he stepped into the warehouse.

The warehouse, which was once packed full, is now completely empty, with only the metallic reflection of the neatly arranged shelves remaining.

On the task display screen, almost every task's executor's column prominently displays one name:
Liu Sheng.
