Chapter 429: Pick Up in A Supercar?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang still had a lucky treasure chest to open. He had been busy playing the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, but it was about time to open it.
Mr. Fang chose a good day with warm suns.h.i.+ne.
After was.h.i.+ng his hands, he drank some c.o.ke to celebrate this event.
Then, he opened the treasure chest.
[Beep! You got Pega.s.si Osiris (Unlimited).]
“Wu…” Mr. Fang almost spat out the c.o.ke in his mouth. This was a d.a.m.n race car?!
It was a remake of a car from Grand Theft Auto 5.
Many cars appearing in Grand Theft Auto 5 originated from the world where Fang Qi had been before he traveled through s.p.a.ce and time. For example, the Pega.s.si Osiris was a supercar based on the Pagani Huayra and Enzo Ferrari Ne.
If Mr. Fang had gotten such a car before he traveled through s.p.a.ce and time, he would have been thrilled. But now…
He glanced at the low antique buildings and the wide roads. Although the street was wide and flat, there were cultivators walking around, and demon beasts and beast-drawn carriages ran. Then, he thought of his car…
Mr. Fang scratched his head. This isn’t good…
However, he thought back to Dungeon Fighter Online. If this game was released, these people were going to witness Satellite Beam, Gaebolg Punch, etc.
Then, he looked at the spiritual boats flying in the sky. The people here had flying spiritual artifacts, and his was a spiritual artifact for driving on the ground…
Emmmm…
Suddenly, Mr. Fang didn’t think that his car would pose a problem.
– The Inner section of the Taiw.a.n.g Inn –
Everything here was more luxurious than the outer section.
Each person here lived in a separate cottage which was s.p.a.cious and equipped with high-level cultivation infrastructure.
In fact, the Heavenly Academy’s exam was a threshold for ordinary people to see if they could enter the school, which was the Heavenly Academy’s initial purpose of the exam.
However, it gradually started to change. Some geniuses had begun to use this opportunity to examine each other’s strength and see who was stronger.
Even though they wouldn’t show all their trump cards and fight until the death, they could use this occasion to compete with each other in front of all the talented people from all over the world to figure out a rough ranking.
Of course, this year’s Heavenly Academy exam meant more than this. Otherwise, it would be the same as the previous exams.
This year’s academy exam was especially grand for three reasons.
The first reason was the Mystic Fate Jade. Nangong Zhuo came for this treasure. Even though no one knew about its power yet, it was from Fortune Golden Palace, and it was enough for people to go crazy over it.
The second reason was…
Jiang Xiaoyue was sitting in the courtyard of her private cottage.
“Princess Your Highness, Gongzi Xun of the Xun Family had this gift delivered to you…”
“Why did he give me a gift? Do I know him that well?” Jiang Xiaoyue was busy playing with her communication jade; a penguin icon kept jumping. She said impatiently, “Return it!”
“Princess Your Highness, Young Master Nangong of the Nangong Family…”
“Aya! I told you to return it!”
“Princess Your Highness, Gongzi Xu of the Xu Family is waiting outside, hoping to see you…”
“Tell him I’m not back!” She continued to play with the communication jade.
After all, Xiaoyue was very popular.
However, the most important reason lied with the Heavenly Academy. It was said that the winner of the exam would become the final disciple of Gu Tingyun, the Old Academy Master, and be taught his world-famous Heavenly Insight Scroll.
It was said that Gu Tingyun had used this technique to predict several disasters for different clans and families. In fact, even the locations of previous openings of the Fortune Golden Palace and some of the treasures in the palace were obtained by him ahead of time.
Many geniuses who had never come out of their respective families came to the exam for this purpose.
…
– At the entrance of the internet café –
When Li Lanruo and the others came to the shop, they saw Mr. Fang playing with a strange sapphire-colored spiritual artifact in front of the shop.
The streamlined body of the spiritual artifact looked like a small spiritual boat. But instead of the usual weaving-shuttle or sword shape for spiritual boats, the front of this spiritual artifact looked like a weird snakehead.
It had the same unique metal l.u.s.ter as the square spiritual artifacts (computers) in the shop.
This artifact and all the artifacts inside the shop looked as if they came from a different world.
“Guild President, what’s this spiritual artifact?” Li Lanruo asked curiously, “It doesn’t look like a spiritual boat… Can it fly?”
“No.” Mr. Fang glanced at the street and said, “Flying is strictly forbidden inside the city, right? This thing runs on the ground.”
“It runs on the ground…?” Li Wuya studied the strange spiritual artifact curiously. “Why don’t you buy a mount if you want to run on the ground? It’s cheap and just needs a little time to tame. Why did you get a spiritual artifact?”
For cultivators, they could produce ground artifacts but didn’t think it was necessary with so many demon beasts around.
At this moment, some pa.s.sing cultivators pointed in their direction. “Look at that guy… Is that thing a spiritual boat?”
“You’re kidding. What kind of spiritual boat has wheels?”
“Can it… fly in the sky as well?”
“I wonder who designed this weird spiritual boat. What a sucker…”
Ignoring them, Mr. Fang glanced at his communication jade.
“Hey! Guild President, how come your communication jade looks different.” Li Lanruo looked over curiously. Usually, communication jades were rectangle or round, but the one in Fang Qi’s hand was a thin jade slip with complicated patterns.
When the jade lit up, a virtual screen appeared on it, and a spiritual cursor moved on the virtual screen.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoyue walked out of her private cottage holding a communication jade that looked exactly like Fang Qi’s.
“The young master of the Xun Family is holding a banquet in Essence Celestial Pavilion today and invited many people to tour Yuanyang City. Why didn’t you reply to his invitation? You must express your appreciation to the people who send you gifts even if you don’t accept them…”
The message came from her mother.
“Why should I accept his invitation? I won’t go today. Boss released a new game, and I’ll go play the game!” she quickly said to the communication jade, “Boss, when will you come and pick me up? I don’t know the way!”
Glancing at this message, Mr. Fang thought for a moment and then looked at the race car before him. [Should I drive over and pick you up?]
