Chapter 319: External Assistance
Hearing Qian Feng mention Fatty Qin, Hua Ji’s voice was full of disdain.
"You’re talking about Fatty Qin, I know him, that guy has the worst character. Last year, I went to Earth Sea just to watch that road race. Honestly, Fatty Qin’s car is modified pretty well, probably that bastard Liu Daming helped him with it. Just from the sound of the engine, I could tell Liu Daming did it."
Qian Feng continued, "Brother Hua Ji, tonight, your Brother Xu is racing against Fatty Qin. From the stadium to the West Suburb Zoo, Fatty Qin is likely using that Lamborghini again, while Brother Xu is driving a newly bought Porsche; it definitely can’t match up to that modified Lamborghini."
Upon hearing that Xu Xiangbei is racing against Fatty Qin, Hua Ji let out a surprised "oh" and after a moment of silence, asked, "What Porsche did Brother Xu buy from you?"
Qian Feng did his best to describe Xu Xiangbei’s Thundering Car: "It’s a limited edition Porsche imported from Germany, the body is silver, and the wheels are red. It’s the one you showed me in a photo six months ago, and I got my boss to bring in one."
Hearing this, Hua Ji recollected, "Isn’t that the one I gifted to Brother Xu? Is Brother Xu with you now?"
Qian Feng nodded, "He’s right here next to me, listening too."
"Brother Qian, give him the phone, I have a few words for him."
Qian Feng smiled and handed the phone to Xu Xiangbei, indicating that Hua Ji wanted to speak to him.
Xu Xiangbei took the phone with a smile:
"Hua Ji, hello, long time no see."
From the phone came Hua Ji’s familiar voice: "Hello Brother Xu, long time no see. What brings you to Earth Sea City, for work or leisure?"
Xu Xiangbei explained, "I’m in Earth Sea for some matters, I’ll head back to Jiangcheng once they’re resolved."
Hua Ji’s voice was sincere, "Brother Xu, although Qin Daming is a highway race champion, his driving skills aren’t as good as yours. With your skills as Jiangcheng Mountain Road’s car god, I’m sure you can beat him. But I saw his Lamborghini last year, modified perfectly by my rival Liu Daming. Unless you modify that limited edition Porsche similarly, from start to top speed, it can’t match that Lamborghini."
Hua Ji, a master of car modification, was always in the racing circle; his analysis must be valid. In this era of technology, everything is about the tech.
Xu Xiangbei slightly frowned, "What to do then? I can’t just concede the race before it starts, right?"
Hua Ji laughed, "Don’t worry, Brother Xu, I’ll help you modify your car to ensure a win."
"But you’re in Jiangcheng, how can you help me?"
Hua Ji let out a dry laugh, "When’s the race?"
"Starts at midnight tonight."
Hua Ji’s tone was firm, "I just checked online, there’s a flight from Jiangcheng to Earth Sea at noon. I’ll catch it and be there in two hours. Then spend a few hours modifying your car, we have enough time. I’ve modified that Porsche model half a year ago, I’m very familiar with it now, it won’t take much time. Have Qian Feng get me a fully equipped repair shop, I’ll head there to modify your car right after I land."
Seeing Hua Ji’s eagerness to help, Xu Xiangbei was touched, "Thanks a lot, Brother Hua Ji. Call me when you arrive in Earth Sea, I’ll drive to pick you up."
The new car emitted a faint scent of fresh leather, the genuine leather seats were soft and comfortable. Xu Xiangbei smiled at Xiao Lin in the passenger seat, "Beautiful lady, fasten your seatbelt, we’re about to set off."
Shifting gears and pressing the accelerator, the silver Porsche roared like thunder, transforming into a bolt of lightning as it merged into the traffic.
Feeling the soft seats and the back-thrust generated by the Porsche coupe, like the wind with extreme speed, Xiao Lin’s face was flushed with excitement, her fair cheeks tinged with red.
Xiao Lin enviously praised, "Brother Xu, this car is really awesome. No wonder that Young Master Qin wants to compete for it with you."
Xu Xiangbei looked indifferent, "That guy, he’s not worthy of driving such a good car. He wants it to satisfy his vanity, pursuing thrill and enjoyment, whereas I treat it like a friend."
In Xiao Lin’s deep ocean-like blue eyes, there was a hint of concern, "Are you confident you’ll win tonight? That Young Master Qin is so shameless, insisting on racing with you."
Xu Xiangbei looked relaxed, "Don’t worry, Sister Xiao Lin, your Brother Xu is Jiangcheng’s mountain road car god. Why would I fear that fatso? Are you free tonight? Come to the stadium to cheer for me?"
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I’ll definitely go cheer for you. I’ll call Jia Hui now, to have her join us tonight, the more the merrier."
Xu Xiangbei glanced at Xiao Lin’s graceful figure, grinning cheekily, "After I win Young Master Qin’s villa, we can all move into the new villa together, no more worrying about the old apartment’s faulty elevator."
Hearing about moving to a new villa, Xiao Lin was quite looking forward to it, but noticing Xu Xiangbei’s lewd expression when he mentioned us living together, she knew Xu Xiangbei was being improper again.
She raised her slender, fair hand and lightly punched Xu Xiangbei on the shoulder, part scold, mostly shy.
She pouted and chided, "Brother Xu, if you keep teasing me like this, I won’t cheer for you anymore."
"Hehe, I’m not teasing you. I just said we’d live together, didn’t say sleeping in the same bed, nothing wrong with that."
Hearing Xu Xiangbei’s increasingly inappropriate explanation, Xiao Lin’s face turned even redder, "You’re still talking nonsense, see if I don’t hit you."
The slender, fair hand came at him again, and Xu Xiangbei quickly begged for mercy.
"Sister, I’m driving, you really shouldn’t touch me. If you really need me, you can have your way with me once I park."
Xiao Lin’s face turned red up to her neck, and she pinched Xu Xiangbei’s ear again, causing him to yell out in mock pain, "Ouch."
Xu Xiangbei’s ear was twisted like a pretzel by Xiao Lin, he didn’t feel pain at all; rather, he felt the warmth and softness of Xiao Lin’s fingers, and actually enjoyed it.
He was grinning foolishly, "Sister, where are you heading now?"
The blush on Xiao Lin’s face gradually faded, and she smiled, "I’m heading to Thunderbird Company now, I have a photo shoot this afternoon."
"Still theme photos for the ’Ancient Moon Red Dust’ game?"
Xiao Lin’s blue eyes sparkled like bright stars, her expression excited, "Brother Xu, I have good news for you, Thunderbird Company made models of some virtual weapons from the game and a few new cosplay costumes. I’ll be portraying the Elf Princess and the Empress today, want a sneak peek?"
Xu Xiangbei smirked, "I’m not interested in those, but are there any photos without clothes?"
"Ouch."
Xu Xiangbei’s ear got twisted into a pretzel again, this time genuinely feeling the pain.
"Beauty, cross two more streets and we’ll reach Thunderbird Company."
