Finally.
Half an hour later.
They finally put down their tools and wiped the sweat from their cheeks.
It was only then that they noticed Wang Ye sitting beside them at some point.
"Wang Ye, you’re just in time, take a look at this motorcycle." Carlos immediately grinned and said.
Although the configuration of this motorcycle had already been adjusted excellently by him.
He still wanted Wang Ye to take a look.
After all, Wang Ye was now considered the top in the field of extreme sports.
Carlos now also unconditionally trusted Wang Ye’s judgment.
Wang Ye nodded and sat on the off-road motorcycle.
The moment he sat down, the various parameters of the motorcycle appeared in his mind. After a bit of thought, he said, "The rear can be loosened up slightly, and the front shock needs to be adjusted accordingly. Doing this can probably increase the top speed by about 5 km/h, but you might need to lower your stance when riding, it’s your choice."
"So there’s this kind of adjustment!" Carlos realized suddenly upon hearing this.
At the same time, his evaluation of Wang Ye rose another level in his heart.
As expected of Wang Ye, he could spot something Carlos hadn’t noticed as soon as he got on.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment, continuing to give Carlos more advice.
Even though he basically hadn’t ridden a motorcycle, due to having a very high skill level in riding.
He still retained an extremely high level of motorcycle knowledge in his mind.
There might be some gap from the peak of humanity, but guiding Carlos wasn’t a problem.
After the two finished their discussion.
Li Weimin, who was sitting by the side, asked Wang Ye:
"By the way, did you just go for off-road training?"
"Yes." Wang Ye nodded.
Li Weimin continued to ask, "How’s the custom bike for you?"
Wang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "It’s good, though there are some flaws in certain areas that I can adjust myself."
Li Weimin breathed a slight sigh of relief, "That’s good, let me know what parts you lack, and I’ll arrange for someone to get them for you."
Wang Ye nodded silently.
Li Weimin suddenly thought of something and continued to ask, "By the way, why didn’t I see you wearing a helmet just now?"
Wang Ye said, "I don’t need it, I’m mainly just testing and training now, not maintaining high speeds for long periods. It’s not as dangerous as you think."
"No, off-roading is a very dangerous sport, you should wear a helmet even if you’re riding slowly." Li Weimin frowned and said, "I’ll have someone prepare a full-face helmet for you later, remember to wear it, or it’ll be easy to encounter danger. Don’t think you won’t get in trouble just because you react quickly, the road conditions in Utah are very complex, and nobody knows when danger will strike."
"Alright." Wang Ye had no choice but to agree.
After bidding farewell to Li Weimin and others, Wang Ye went back to the hotel to take a nap.
After about half an hour, he woke up,
but it was already evening.
Wang Ye sat in the room practicing the Innate Skill until the sky was completely dark.
Then he left the hotel to continue training in the nearby wilderness.
Unfortunately, there had been no thunderstorms in Utah recently, so Wang Ye couldn’t use the Thunder Forging Body. He could only do simple flying training and use the damage from high-altitude drops to temper his body.
The efficiency of such training was naturally very slow, but given the current situation, he could only take this approach.
After all, he was still living in human cities for now. He couldn’t exactly buy a small missile to fire at himself.

The next day.
Eight in the morning.
Wang Ye got a brand new full-face helmet from Ah Gui.
He put the helmet on his head.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, he examined the shape of this helmet.
This full-face helmet was specially for motorcycle off-roading, reportedly priced over five thousand USD, very sturdy, with more than ten channeled air vents on the top, sides, and back, allowing incoming wind to flow out along the channels. This design not only reduces the weight of the helmet but also makes it more aerodynamic, causing minimal speed loss.
Similar in style to an electric scooter helmet, but made of more high-end material, more crash-resistant, and lighter in weight, it won’t be as heavy as a regular electric scooter helmet, weighing down on your neck and spinal bones. Even if it accidentally hits the ground, or your head strikes a sharp rock, it can absorb the impact well. But the helmet might be more prone to cracking.
In fact, helmets that crack immediately upon impact are often better in protection, as the helmet breaking means it has absorbed most of the impact.
Compared to this, those iron bucket helmets that only deform on impact have horrible shock absorption capabilities, making it easy to get a concussion from a slight fall.
Plastic helmets on construction sites work on the same principle. Although they are lightweight and fragile, snapping with slight force, providing little sense of safety, they actually offer the best protection on construction sites, as they absorb the most shock during a falling object incident.
But all in all, no matter how high-end the helmet is.
Its protective performance can’t match his own Gang Qi body protection.
However, Wang Ye didn’t mind wearing a helmet.
Wearing a helmet has minimal impact on vision, and having extra protection is not a bad thing.
After putting on goggles, a mask, and other equipment.
Wang Ye left the room, ready to go out for some riding training.
At this point, Carlos was already fully geared up and waiting on the road.
It seemed he planned to go out for off-road training with Wang Ye.
But when Wang Ye rolled out his custom bicycle,
Carlos was dumbfounded,
"Is this... a bicycle?"
"Yes, it’s a custom mountain bike, I call it ’Polar’." Wang Ye replied.
Since Carlos had just joined the Anta team.
He didn’t know beforehand that Wang Ye’s vehicle was actually a bicycle.
So when he discovered that Wang Ye’s bike was pedal-driven,
his heart was immediately hit with a strong shock.
Carlos had a wealth of experience, been to countless places, and met countless people.
But he felt that all his life experiences combined didn’t bring as much surprise as Wang Ye did.
Mentioning bicycles, most people think of downhill, riding from high ground to low ground. But off-roading requires handling various complex terrains, meaning traversing very rugged areas. Bicycle climbing ability is very limited, and riding in rivers is very difficult, so hardly anyone considers using a bicycle for off-roading. Even motorcycles designed for forest off-roading struggle with such terrains, requiring technique to improve traction.
Although some people might manage to ride bicycles uphill, it would surely deplete energy significantly. Maintaining agility in steering under extreme effort and body posture distortion seems impossible.
Moreover, Wang Ye’s custom bicycle appeared not to have gear shifts, just two high-ratio front and rear gears, even more extreme than track bikes, which astonished Carlos even more.
Carlos wanted to express skepticism.
But since Wang Ye challenged conventions and performed miracles every time before.
He forcibly swallowed the words of doubt.
"Let’s... let’s go then."
Carlos put on his helmet, twisted the throttle, and started his ride.
Vroom.
The engine roared.
His tires quickly gained speed, reaching 70 km/h within three seconds.
But the Wang Ye behind him was still as slow as a turtle.
Unable to speed up due to the exceedingly high gear ratio.
"Can such slow acceleration really handle off-roading..."
Carlos turned his head, seeing Wang Ye struggling to speed up, couldn’t help but complain.
