"Do you guys know why penguins have white bellies?"

You could tell from the radio that Dantai Bie's voice was quite excited.

Chen Ye held a cigarette in his mouth, completely ignoring him.

It wasn't that he disliked Dantai Bie; the guy had put in solid effort during the fight earlier.

Plus, he said whatever was on his mind and never held anything back.

Someone that straightforward came across as honest.

The only problem was, the guy talked too much.

Chu Che stayed silent too. That sly old fox only needed a brief interaction to figure out Dantai Bie's personality.

If he took the bait, the guy would only get more energized.

Sun Xixi didn't speak either.

Ding Dong was even more quiet.

Iron Lion had been pestered earlier about the "Return to the City Plan" and had already experienced how annoying Dantai Bie could be, so he didn't dare say a word either.

Even that big dumb brute knew what it felt like to be pestered by Dantai Bie.

As for Xu Lina, she was even less likely to talk. If Chen Ye didn't speak, she wouldn't either.

Ever since becoming a superhuman, Xu Lina still treated herself as Chen Ye's little sidekick.

Everyone kept quiet, but a small, crisp voice unexpectedly played along.

"Why?"

It was Little Fish's voice.

The little girl was at that curious and rebellious age where she was still interested in stuff like bad jokes.

Getting a response from Little Fish was like Dantai Bie got injected with adrenaline.

"That's because penguins have really short arms, so when they take a bath, they can only reach the front!"

"HAHAHAHA..."

After saying this, Dantai Bie's unhinged laughter came through the radio.

Chen Ye felt a line of black dots appear on his forehead.

Little Fish's cold voice rang out: "Boring!"

Even that big dumb brute knew what it felt like to be entangled by Dantai Bie.

"One day, a penguin wanted to go play with a polar bear..."

And just like that, Dantai Bie rattled off three bad jokes in a row.

But each time, he only got a two-word response from Little Fish: "Boring!"

The guy never got discouraged either. Every time Little Fish called him boring,

he just got more encouraged and told another joke he thought was even funnier.

The radio had never been this lively before.

At least it brought some life into this dead atmosphere.

But Chen Ye found it unbearably noisy.

He directly switched the radio to another channel.

Unexpectedly, the moment he switched, he heard Chu Che's voice: "You guys keep at it, try to reach Sequence 4 sooner. Sequence 4 is different."

Only then did Chen Ye realize everyone had already switched channels a while ago.

"Different how?"

Chen Ye said.

Chu Che's teasing voice sounded: "Tsk tsk... Yezi finally showed up too."

"No choice, that kid is way too noisy!"

"That's fine though, at least it brings some liveliness to our convoy!"

"Squad Leader Chu, you were saying about Sequence 4? Keep going!"

This time, Sun Xixi's voice came through the radio.

"What the hell, Xixi, are you..."

Chu Che asked, puzzled.

"No choice. Little Fish and that guy named Dantai Bie started arguing, so I had to come over to Sister Ding Dong's car."

You could hear the helplessness in Sun Xixi's voice.

Chen Ye: "..."

Those two clearly clashed from the start. He never thought the day would actually come.

Little did he know, by now, the gunpowder between Little Fish and Dantai Bie was already incredibly thick.

The two were now locked in a fierce standoff, needlepoint against spear tip.

Dantai Bie had told seven or eight jokes in total.

And every single time, he only got a "boring" review.

In the end, Dantai Bie was so pissed he challenged Little Fish to tell one.

At Little Fish's age, there was no way she could handle Dantai Bie's provocation.

So she pulled out a joke she had treasured in her heart for a long time.

Every time Little Fish had used this joke before, it got a very good reaction.

It was one of her trump card jokes.

But who would've thought, of all things...

That despicable Dantai Bie on the other end actually gave it a "unbelievably boring" review.

That really pissed Little Fish off.

Except for when it came to Chen Ye, when had Little Fish ever suffered such an insult?

The two started arguing.

In Little Fish's mind right now, Dantai Bie's level of detestability had skyrocketed, almost catching up to the annoying level of her lifelong nemesis Chen Ye.

Even after switching channels,

Chen Ye could still hear Little Fish's angry shouting coming from outside.

It even drowned out the sound of tires rolling over the ground.

Alright then...

Chen Ye rolled up the window, sealing Little Fish's racket outside.

"Squad Leader Chu, ahem... continue. How exactly is Sequence 4 different?"

Chen Ye asked.

"It's like this. Back when I was in Oasis, I heard them talk about the Sequence level system."

"From what I know, if you don't count Sequence 0, the Sequence levels are divided into nine ranks and three tiers."

Chu Che began to explain in detail, laying out everything he knew.

This knowledge was still quite valuable.

If it weren't for the trip to Oasis, Chu Che probably wouldn't even know about this kind of classification.

"Three tiers? What does that mean?"

Sun Xixi asked curiously.

"Don't interrupt. Squad Leader Chu, go on!"

Chen Ye cut off Sun Xixi's question.

Sun Xixi stuck out her tongue and silently cursed Chen Ye in her heart.

"The three tiers refer to Low Sequence, Mid Sequence, and High Sequence!"

"Low Sequence refers to Sequence 1 to Sequence 3, Mid Sequence refers to Sequence 4 to Sequence 6, and High Sequence refers to Sequence 7 to Sequence 9!"

"Before, I didn't understand why it was divided this way, or what meaning this division had."

"But ever since I advanced to Sequence 4, I finally understood the significance!"

"What significance?"

This time, the question came from the big dumb brute, Iron Lion!

Hearing Iron Lion interrupt, Chen Ye didn't stop him. The pink-haired girl felt a little bit of discontent in her heart, thinking Chen Ye was treating them differently.

Chu Che chuckled: "As for the significance, simply put, you become stronger. The gap between Low Sequence and Mid Sequence is enormous!"

"A Sequence 2 might be able to defeat a Sequence 3."

"But a Sequence 3 can absolutely never defeat a Sequence 4!"

"Even three or five Sequence 3s working together can't defeat a single Sequence 4."

"Alright, I can only say this much. You'll know when you all advance to Sequence 4 yourselves!"

This...

Sure enough, that old bastard was pulling the same trick again.

He probably guessed that Sequence 4 Pathfinders still had a huge secret. That guy just didn't want to say it.

But Chen Ye could understand.

His own secrets weren't any fewer than Chu Che's.

For instance, there was a recent one. He had drawn an ability from Ding Shen.

He still hadn't used that ability yet.

Then there was the pink-haired girl.

How did she get through the Anomaly Tides?

Was it purely with that sword of hers?

And Xu Lina. That femme fatale seemed to have her own secrets too.
