"Smelly brat, I think you’re really asking for a beating, aren’t you?!" Lan Zihuang once again pinched his ear, saying, "What exactly do you want Brother Hao to say?! Huh?!"
"Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!" Lan Qinglong winced in pain and then carefully observed the two, a clear case of reading the room. After a long while, finding nothing out of the ordinary, he finally felt satisfied and said, "Alright, I’ll take it you two aren’t having an affair."
What do you mean, ’take it’? There never was one, okay?
"Even though this engine can’t fit in," Lan Qinglong straightened his clothes, and then slowly said, "there could still be a way to modify it."
Can it really be modified?
"Really? It can be modified?" Wang Hao looked at the Wuling Hongguang and then at Lan Qinglong, puzzled, "Can such a big engine really fit in?"
"Who said the engine would fit?" Lan Qinglong huffed, "Forget about swapping engines, that’s impossible. However, the engine might not fit, but the car is a different story. Speaking of which, the Wuling Hongguang really is quite spacious..."
Eh?! Fit the car in? What does that mean?
"Boys, time to get to work." Lan Qinglong called out, and the surrounding youngsters immediately responded, "Okay!"
"The next step is to witness a miracle," Lan Qinglong said proudly, "Although my Bugatti Veyron is quite expensive, it’s worth it if I can beat that guy just once. Come on, let’s do something big today!"
Wang Hao listened, utterly confused. Do something big? What does that mean?
Lan Qinglong led the group straight to his parked blue and black Bugatti Veyron in the garage and immediately sprang into action.
That’s why they say birds of a feather flock together. Everyone present was skilled in car modifications, and Wang Hao saw hammers and pliers flying in no time – the good-as-new Bugatti Veyron was stripped to its shell in the blink of an eye, leaving only the core components.
"The engine definitely can’t be replaced," Lan Qinglong, with a welding torch in his mouth, continued to dismantle the car as he spoke, "but the shell is absolutely doable. So, my plan is to keep all of Bugatti’s parts and replace the shell with that of a Wuling Hongguang."
Wait, wait, wait, man, isn’t that joke a bit too much?
You mean to keep all the Bugatti’s underpinnings and just modify the Wuling Hongguang shell?!
As it turned out, Wang Hao’s guess was correct...
The variety of parts in Lan Qinglong’s workshop was truly impressive: cutting machines, welding torches, spray-painting equipment, tires, and so on - everything!
And so, Wang Hao watched as the Wuling Hongguang he had arrived in was transformed within half an hour; its entire shell turned into pieces of metal. The Bugatti Veyron’s shell was removed, and then they began to weld the metal around the Bugatti’s frame. And you know, after welding it...
The shape of the Bugatti Veyron really didn’t look much different from a Wuling Hongguang! Of course, the chassis was raised, the driver’s seat was raised, and components like the steering wheel and pedals were all designed according to the smaller Wuling Hongguang.
The transformation took almost a day, but when it was all finished and the paint sprayed on, with the Wuling Hongguang logo affixed afterward...
A new Wuling Hong Guang, or Bugatti Hong Guang, was born!
It was so cool that, at first glance, it looked just a bit shorter than the original Wuling Hongguang. There were the cool sliding doors, the square body, the beautiful four exhaust pipes on the tail, and especially the badass Wuling Hongguang logo on the rear...
"Alright, that’s pretty much it!" Lan Qinglong patted the new Bugatti Hong Guang’s body, proud as he spoke, "How about it, my technique isn’t bad, right?"
Wang Hao gaped, staring at the Bugatti Hong Guang in front of him...
"You’ve just transformed such a good car into this," Wang Hao said with a face full of horror, "Don’t you feel any pain?"
"Why would I feel pain?" Lan Qinglong said matter-of-factly, "I’ve given you this car and even the modifications. You, of course, have to pay for it. Don’t worry, I won’t cheat you. The car’s original price is around 26 million, I’ll give you a discount, 20 million."
That’s outright robbery, big brother!
Silent tears fell as I heard camel bells in my ears...
Just coming out for a spin and now I owe more than 20 million in debt!
I don’t even have 20 million in total assets, okay?!
"Wahaha! Look how scared you are!" Seeing Wang Hao visibly jump with fright, Lan Qinglong burst into laughter, pointing at Wang Hao as he continued to laugh, "Look at how scared you are. You’ve even turned pale, hahaha!"
"No kidding!" Wang Hao wished he could kick him to death, "That’s coercion, you know? Who knew you’d even charge money?!"
"Alright, alright, no more joking," Lan Qinglong was just teasing, of course, he knew Wang Hao wouldn’t take it seriously, "Let’s be serious. Do you know why I went to the trouble of modifying my baby for you? I heard about your race tonight at Jin Ming Mountain a long time ago. I have just one request; bring me a beautiful championship! Any issues?!"
"Eh?" Wang Hao looked at him curiously, "Now that you mention it, I haven’t noticed. With such good skills, why don’t you race yourself? What are you all still doing here at this hour?"
As soon as Wang Hao finished his question, a sudden silence fell around them.
