"Uh, Little Huanghuang," Wang Hao looked at Lan Zihuang with a horrified face and exclaimed, "You can’t be serious, right? Putting a supercar engine into a Wuling Hongguang?!"
It sounds so fantastical, doesn’t it?! What if I step on the gas and the car’s chassis shoots out, but I’m still stuck in the same spot?
"What else did you think I was here for? Come on, we don’t have much time!" Lan Zihuang slammed the car door shut and said, "Stick close to me, and don’t get lost!"
"Alright," Wang Hao still thought Lan Zihuang’s idea was quite audacious...
The two quickly left, and the mechanic stared at the two cars departing, utterly dumbfounded, and said, "I, Old Wang, have been repairing cars my whole life and this is the first time I’ve seen something ... Putting a supercar engine in a Wuling Hongguang? Awesome..."
Following Lan Zihuang, Wang Hao finally left the city center and drove to an industrial park on the outskirts of Jinhua City. Lan Zihuang found a large gate and drove the car slowly in.
Wang Hao followed her through the gate and then looked around.
The place they had entered was quite a large factory within the industrial park, covering at least three thousand square meters. Inside were parked at least a dozen sports cars, the least impressive of which was a Maserati GT. What caught Wang Hao’s eye was a Bugatti Veyron placed prominently among them! The sports cars were neatly lined up, and many were already significantly disassembled. Some were obviously modified and were being painted. The floor was littered with various tools—spanners, pliers, screwdrivers, welding machines, jacks, and so on, neatly arranged, a far cry from the Hongda Auto Repair Center that Wang Hao had previously visited.
"This is it," Lan Zihuang got out of the car and waited for Wang Hao to get out, then introduced, "The largest car modification factory in Jinhua City. This is where you can find everything you need."
At that moment, five or six young people, both male and female, gathered around. One young man, who bore at least a sixty percent resemblance to Lan Zihuang, asked, "Sis, is this the guy you told me about today, the one who drifts in a Wuling Hongguang?"
Wang Hao turned to look. The young man, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, had a somewhat mischievous smile that carried a bit of a wealthy young master’s aura, though his gaze was not so friendly.
"Yes, that’s him," Lan Zihuang quickly introduced Wang Hao, "This is my brother, Lan Qinglong. Isn’t he handsome?"
More than just handsome... His name is also pretty cool, isn’t it?
Zi Huang, Qing Long, you guys are really a nest of mythical creatures!
"Hey, nice to meet you," Wang Hao quickly extended his hand, "Wang Hao, I’m a colleague of Miss Lan."
"No need for formalities," Lan Qinglong waved his hand, and with a "snap," he slapped Wang Hao’s hand away, saying, "Come on, first let me see what your car is like."
This was a bit awkward, but Wang Hao, being the supernatural being he was, naturally stroked his hair with the hand that was rebuffed and smiled, "It’s just a Wuling Hongguang, what else could it be?"
Lan Qinglong did not pick up on the broken thread of conversation, but simply walked up to the Wuling Hongguang, kicked it several times around, and said, "This old heap, is there even a need for modifications? Sis, how many times have I told you before? Even if you’re looking for a boyfriend, find someone reliable, don’t bring just anyone in front of me. A guy driving a Wuling Hongguang and you still want me to change the engine for him?"
Hey, how can you talk like that? Who’s your sister’s boyfriend? Brother Hao has his own targets, okay?
"Who... who said he’s my boyfriend?!" Lan Zihuang immediately turned pale with anger, "How can you talk like that?! He’s just a co-worker, besides, that car isn’t even his, isn’t his own car wrecked and under repair?"
"If he’s not your boyfriend, why are you in such a hurry to have me help? And you want me to install my newly imported W16 engine in this piece of junk?" Lan Qinglong clearly had a sister complex, looking at Wang Hao as if he was a villain who stole his toy, "Look at this guy, what’s good about him? He’s not even that handsome, dresses shabby and old-fashioned, and drives a crappy Wuling Hongguang! With all the people chasing you, couldn’t you choose someone a bit more high-class?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people nearby immediately chimed in—
"That’s right, Sister Lan, it’s your fault this time; you shouldn’t choose someone like him no matter what!"
"Sister Lan, you’re my idol, I don’t even have a chance to pursue you, how could you settle for him!"
"Sister Lan, why don’t you just choose me? I’m definitely better than him no matter what!"
Lan Zihuang got furious, grabbed Lan Qinglong by the ear, pinching it till he grimaced with pain: "I already said he’s not my boyfriend! What, you have wings now and don’t believe what your sister says? You think Brother Hao is someone you brats can mock?!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Lan Qinglong hopped on one foot, crying out as he did, "You’re totally being unreasonable! My engine costs millions, and his crappy car is only worth twenty thousand! How am I supposed to install it? Besides, if he isn’t your boyfriend, by what right or capability should he use my engine?!"
Damn, you really do excel at arguing! If he’s the boyfriend, he’s not good enough, and if he’s not, what right does he have?
Do you really think I can’t race without this engine?
"Um, Zi Huang," Wang Hao patted Lan Zihuang’s arm and laughed, "Actually, it’s no big deal. I feel that if I change to this engine, it might not even be compatible. It’s all good as is, it’s just a race, and if I use the Bugatti Veyron’s W16 engine, it might seem like bullying. No need to change it. If you have time, just help me check the tires, and if not, I’ll find a place myself."
"How can that be?!" Upon hearing this, Lan Zihuang immediately became anxious, shouting, "Your crappy engine hasn’t even started racing and you’re already falling behind! No, the engine must be replaced today!"
As the two spoke, Lan Qinglong became even more displeased!
You guys are literally flirting and torturing me right in front of my face, where’s the justice in that!
"Fine! I’ll change it for you, okay?!" Lan Qinglong said indignantly, "We’ll see if you can handle it then! Hey, you’re Wang Hao, right? I can’t just change this engine for nothing, you have to show some sincerity, right?"
"Sincerity?" Wang Hao looked baffled, asking strangely, "What sincerity?"
"Not only are you dressed like a bumpkin, your brains don’t even work well," Lan Qinglong really couldn’t stand Wang Hao, "You’re going to race, of course, I need to see your skills, big brother! Otherwise, the more powerful the engine, the faster you die if your skills aren’t up to it! Enough talk, follow me! Today, I’ll show you what professional racing is! Don’t think knowing how to drift qualifies you to race, you’re still tender!"
