Chapter 5: What are luxury cars? I'll take the adorable village belle for a spin in my hover pi
Lin Xian, his face dark, threw off the bright red peony quilt, not even bothering to put on slippers, and strode barefoot across the threshold.
He just lost a million in natural wake-up critical hit rewards.
Right now, all he wants to do is shove that bastard outside who's honking like crazy into the exhaust pipe.
"Lin Xian, you good-for-nothing, what are you doing hiding in the house? Come out and take a look at my new car!"
A brand-new, bright blue BMW M4 was parked outside the gate, its engine roaring so loudly that sparrows in the trees fluttered down and fell to the ground.
Li Hao, the son of a nouveau riche from the next village, was wearing large sunglasses and leaning against the car door, shaking his leg.
Several middle-aged women from the village stood three meters away, pointing and whispering, their eyes full of envy.
"Wow, this car must have cost hundreds of thousands, right?"
"I heard it was just bought for Li Hao by his dad; it's the only one in the whole village."
Li Hao listened to the surrounding discussions, his nostrils practically flaring to the sky.
He pulled his sunglasses down and continued shouting into the yard.
"Lin Xian, weren't you making a fortune in Shanghai? Why are you back here all rolled into your bags?"
"Look at my brother's BMW M4, 300 horsepower, one press of the accelerator and it can shake your old house to its core."
"If you can't afford a car, I can be merciful and let you touch this genuine leather steering wheel."
"But remember to wash your hands before touching it, so as not to get my imported calfskin dirty."
Lin Xian kicked the large iron gate open, and the rusty hinges made a screeching sound.
Lin Xian leaned against the door frame, his eyes as cold as ice shards in the dead of winter.
"You bought a beat-up entry-level car on a loan, and now you're acting all high and mighty here?"
Li Hao was hit where it hurt, his face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he pointed at Lin Xian's nose and started cursing.
"Who do you think you are to look down on BMW? If you're so capable, why don't you get one and show it off yourself!"
Xia Anran ran out of the inner room barefoot and hid behind Lin Xian, her little hands tightly clutching the hem of his clothes.
She peeked out, her clear eyes filled with worry, afraid that Lin Xian would suffer a loss.
When Li Hao saw Xia Anran's pure and delicate face, his eyes widened, and he swallowed several times.
"Anran, what future do you have following this penniless guy? Get in my car, I'll take you for a drive around the city!"
Lin Xian pulled Xia Anran behind him to shield her from that greasy gaze.
"Going for a drive, huh?"
"You wait here, I'll go to the backyard and drive my car out."
After saying that, Lin Xian turned around and walked towards the backyard.
There was a pile of scrap metal in the backyard, along with a rusty, abandoned farm pickup truck.
Lin Xian recalled the blueprints for the fully automated intelligent quantum tool machine that he had obtained while slacking off earlier.
"System, use these scraps to sculpt a decent-looking vehicle for me, and add an anti-gravity module."
A faint blue ripple, invisible to the naked eye, appeared in the air.
Countless nanoscale mechanical tentacles appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the wrecked pickup truck.
The clicking sounds of metal being reassembled rang out in rapid succession, and sparks flashed in the daylight.
Less than two minutes later, a silver-gray pickup truck with a cyberpunk style quietly stopped on the grass.
The car body has sharp lines, and the tires are replaced by four dark blue anti-gravity engines that exude a cold metallic luster.
Lin Xian opened the wide car door and sat in the technologically advanced driver's seat.
It looks like a pickup truck on the outside, but the holographic projector dial inside is even more exaggerated than a fighter jet.
He pressed the energy start button in the center of the steering wheel.
Li Hao, who was waiting outside the door, was getting impatient and was about to honk his horn again to urge them on.
"boom--"
A deep, futuristic-sounding boom rose from the backyard of the old house.
The silver-gray hover pickup truck flew directly over the three-meter-high blue brick wall and hovered steadily in mid-air.
The blue plasma tail flames billowed out from under the car, blowing dust up in all directions.
The entire room fell silent; everyone looked like a duck being choked.
The sunflower seeds in the hands of the older women all fell to the ground, and one person was so shocked that her dentures fell out.
Wang Fugui had just reached the door when his pipe slammed against the back of his foot with a "thud," and he forgot to even cry out in pain.
The village hooligans who had been circling the BMW just moments before were now terrified, lying on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Li Hao's sunglasses slipped off his nose and shattered in two on the asphalt road.
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his mouth agape enough to fit a light bulb.
Is this supposed to be a personal transportation vehicle?
Isn't this an alien spaceship that only exists in science fiction movies?
The hover pickup truck slowly descended next to the BMW M4, the airflow so strong that Li Hao couldn't even open his eyes.
Compared to the massive size of the anti-gravity engine, the bright blue BMW looked like a cheap plastic toy.
The car window rolled down, and Lin Xian, with one hand on the steering wheel, waved to Xia Anran, who was stunned.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car, I'll take you to see the scenery in the sky."
Xia Anran's mouth formed an "O" shape, and she floated over as if she were walking on cotton.
The car door opened automatically, and she sat dizzily into the soft, smart passenger seat.
The seatbelt automatically extended, securing her firmly in place.
Lin Xian looked at Li Hao, who was slumped on the ground, and pressed the horn.
"drop--"
The deafening sound waves caused the BMW's anti-theft alarm to scream wildly, and several spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the car windows.
"Next time you go out, make sure to block the exhaust pipe properly. If it keeps disturbing my sleep, I'll throw you and your car into a ditch next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the anti-gravity engine unleashed a powerful surge of acceleration.
The hovering pickup truck transformed into a silver streak, instantly soaring hundreds of meters into the sky, leaving a long contrail.
Li Hao, lying on the ground, was panting heavily, his back soaked with cold sweat.
High in the air, the view suddenly opens up.
The Qingshui County beneath our feet has been transformed into an exquisite sand table model.
Vast fields of farmland and houses scattered about in a neat and orderly fashion rushed past in the sunlight.
Xia Anran pressed her hands against the bulletproof glass, excitedly looking at the clouds outside the window.
"Lin Xian, we really can fly!"
She turned her head, her forehead beaded with sweat, and looked at Lin Xian with eyes brimming with almost overflowing adoration.
Being with this man makes it seem like all the miracles in the world can be eaten as food.
Lin Xian held the steering wheel with one hand and leisurely rested his chin on the other.
He followed Xia Anran's gaze and looked down casually.
This is already the central area of the county town.
The shops on both sides of the street were densely packed, and the bustling crowds moved like ants.
His gaze suddenly fell on the tallest building.
That was the only three-story internet cafe in the county, and it used to be a holy place for young people throughout the county.
At this moment, the internet cafe's doors were tightly shut, and even the signboard at the entrance had several large holes in it.
A red banner with yellow characters, more than ten meters long, hangs on the outer wall.
The banner read in large characters: "Collapsed funding, this shop is for sale at a low price, including all equipment."
Lin Xian's eyes lit up, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel.
The village's internet speed is so slow that even watching a live stream of a pretty girl is like watching a slideshow, which is the biggest stumbling block on the road to a life of hardship for working people.
Now, luxurious venues are being delivered right to our doorstep.
He stepped on the hover pedal, and the pickup truck drew a graceful arc in the air, heading straight for the roof of the internet cafe.
"I think this place is quite spacious, I'll buy it and play a couple of ranked matches."
Xia Anran turned her head blankly, not reacting for a moment.
"Buy it? That's a plate worth millions! Where would you get that much money?"
Lin Xian held the steering wheel with one hand, pressed the vertical descent button, and a lazy smile appeared on his lips.
"A few million is nothing. This little bit of pocket money isn't even enough to fill up the gas tank once."
