Chapter 33: Combat Hovercar
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Being the symbol of ultimate luxury, the hovercar was coveted and l.u.s.ted by throngs of people, a very desirable item indeed. One of these was occupied by two men, enjoying every last bit of comfort the vehicle had to offer.
“Guess what cousin, this car is awesome! I’m going to make d.a.m.n sure I’ll get myself one when I graduate!” said the young man at the driver’s seat. He even started to imagine the attention that he would get when he drove around with this car.
“It’s really awesome, but it’s too d.a.m.n expensive! Eight freaking million! Luckily, you have acquired the Ancient Warrior disposition; if not, it would have been impossible for us to get this car!”
“You are right!”
“Hey, I think you’ve just gotten yourself a chance to get one. I heard Ms.Lui, and you are in the same cla.s.s. She is the daughter of the richest person in Chengbei Colony! All you need to do is woo her. If you succeed, you can even get yourself a heavy machine!”
“Are you really going to let your girl buy you a car? If it were to be me, I’d be d.a.m.n embarra.s.sed to even drive it. Keep in mind the word freedom will cease to exist once you rely on her financially! I would rather work hard until I can afford it myself!”
Inside his heart, he was actually boiling with anger. The thought of wooing Lady Lui had its consequences. Grave consequences that might dictate his future. With that thought in his mind, the hovercar suddenly didn’t seem so attractive anymore. After what he had been through, he did not dare to venture into the wilderness anymore.
At the same time, Qin Feng had his attention glued to the car. He could recognize one of them. He was one of Lu Meng’s cla.s.smates named w.a.n.g Kai. Although he recognized the person, he decided not to greet him, considering they were simply acquaintances. Qin Feng blinked twice before he snapped out of his thoughts and summoned a salesman over.
“What excellent taste you have, sir. The Phantom series hovercar is our most versatile off-road vehicle. It’s compact enough to pa.s.s through obstacles with the utmost confidence! Our double-seated model here is the more comfortable one! It features a large rear compartment, and we have even included a small chiller for you to store your loot!”
“Not only that, but the Phantom series’ bespoke sh.e.l.l is also tough enough to endure attacks from F-tier beasts! We have incorporated a light-absorbing system that enables the vehicle to recycle used energy, giving it unprecedented range when compared to our compet.i.tors!”
“We have even upgraded the regular safety features. Exclusive to our customers, we have incorporated an ultra-powerful signal transmitter for every Phantom grade. It scans for dangerous creatures within a 1,000-mile radius and alerts the driver. Our interactive user interface enables you to see a perfect 3D rendering of the discovered beast.
The salesman was well trained and eloquently spoken, not missing out on a single feature he thought would attract Qin Feng. Though Qin Feng did not have his ability user badge with him, his combat suit was enough to show others that he was someone to be reckoned with.
In fact, the main reason why the salesperson was so eager to explain the car was that she saw the energy gun that he carried with him. Besides, he exuded a cold aura, making him more formidable. It would be hard for anyone not to notice it. Just as the salesperson was about to continue her sales-pitch, w.a.n.g Kai exited the car.
WIth a quick persuasion, she asked Qin Feng, “Sir, you should experience sitting in the car!”
“Alright!”
Qing Feng nodded. At the same time, w.a.n.g Kai looked up and saw Qin Feng.
“It’s you!”
w.a.n.g Kai glared at Qin Feng with hostility. Initially, Qin Feng had no intention to bother w.a.n.g Kai. However, there he was, in between Qin Feng and the car, refusing him entry.
“Excuse me,” said Qin Feng.
“Let you through? Why should I do that? It’s not even your car! I still need more time to experience this ride!”
Immediately, w.a.n.g Kai entered the car again as a sign of defiance.
BAM!
He slammed the door in Qin Feng’s face and raised his eyebrows in scorn.
Qin Feng was speechless.
“Haha… leave this place if you don’t have the money! Who do you even think you are! You really thought you could afford this?” said w.a.n.g Kai.
“Let’s go!” said Qin Feng to the salesperson, ignoring the provocation.
“I’m really, really, sorry! Please, sir. Allow me to introduce another car to you!”
In embarra.s.sment, the salesperson apologized profusely to Qin Feng, secretly disgusted at w.a.n.g Kai’s childish antics. w.a.n.g Kai, on the other hand, was smug with the thought that he had managed to embarra.s.s Qin Feng in front of a woman.
All it took was a few seconds for w.a.n.g Kai to immediately regret his impulsive actions.
“I don’t need to look at other cars. Go get the paperwork settled. I’m buying this car now!”
“What?!”
The salesperson’s jaw suddenly dropped.
“This car will be mine soon. I want it clean. I’d hate for others to damage it!” said Qin Feng.
w.a.n.g Kai instantly knew Qin Feng was referring to him. Truth was, he could never afford to repay Qin Feng if something terrible did happen to the car.
In a blur of rage and impulse, w.a.n.g Kai refused to believe that Qin Feng was about to purchase the car here and now.
“F*ck! Are you trying to scare me off? ! I will eat the tires in front of you if you can afford to buy this car!” shouted w.a.n.g Kai.
COMMENT
This time, he managed to capture the entire showroom’s attention, albeit not the kind of attention that he wanted. Others would be jealous if he was the one who had bought the car. Instead, everyone was now silently tuning in for a drama to unfold before them.
After a while, as Qin Feng did not return, he started to smile, relieved but at the same time, still wild and reckless.
“F*ck! I think the b.a.s.t.a.r.d played us!
w.a.n.g Kai figured that Qin Feng would leave him there and let him embarra.s.s himself. He smirked in a moment of victory. The moment he got down from the car, however, he saw a man in a black suit. The man turned out to be the security detail of the car gallery. w.a.n.g Kai also noticed that there was a G3 medal on him.
An ability user!
“Mister, I’m sorry, but this car belongs to someone now. Please stop fiddling with the vehicle! Your cooperation is most appreciated!”
“What?!”
“Cousin, is that person your enemy? I checked him out just now and saw that he seriously just spent eight million yuan on the car!”
Hoping that his little trick would bear fruit, w.a.n.g Kai sent his cousin in pursuit of Qin Feng, seeing if he had really purchased the hovercar. If so, the two of them would further embarra.s.s him. After all, his family1 had to rely on w.a.n.g Kai’s family.
“Qin Feng is the one that bought the car?” squealed w.a.n.g Kai in utter disbelief.
“Sir, please exit the car!” the ability user security guard repeated, this time, in a louder and stern manner.
Immediately, w.a.n.g Kai opened the car door and left the car with his palms sweating.
“Let’s go!” he said, hoping for a quick exit. He was not about to wait for Qin Feng to come back to embarra.s.s him. Unfortunately, time wasn’t on his side.
“What? You are going to leave now? How about eating the tires?” asked Qin Feng.
“Hahaha!”
Everyone in the car gallery burst into roars of laughter.
