54: Chapter 54 Anti-gravity Car 54: Chapter 54 Anti-gravity Car “Congratulations, you’ve obtained a green prop—an anti-gravity car: Civilian Base Type.”
—A Da Han Technology product.
Zhang Xiaoman stared at the enormous thing before him, the system’s recent prompt still lingering before his eyes.
Looking at his room, now in complete disarray, he didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.
“Is the system trying to get me to climb the tech tree or what…”
He felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.
What happened to the promised extraordinary items, the promised bluffing and deceiving?
Why did the style suddenly change?
And an anti-gravity car?
This thing must have come from some high-tech dimension, right?
Zhang Xiaoman looked somewhat painfully at the room occupied by the car, inwardly lamenting that he had forgotten the random size of the lottery items.
This time it was still okay since it was a car that could fit in the room, but what if next time it was some aircraft carrier or something?
Would his little house then be doomed?
However, as much as it hurt, Zhang Xiaoman was very satisfied with this reward.
Never mind the high-tech anti-gravity stuff, just the luxurious appearance of this car alone was enough to attract attention.
For a poor homebody who had a driver’s license for years yet never touched a steering wheel, suddenly owning such a top-notch luxury car that was ahead of its era felt like being launched on a rocket, skyrocketing to heaven in one step.
He carefully examined this peculiar car.
The main body was in a silvery-white base tone with an outer layer of transparent, curved cabin.
Zhang Xiaoman could directly see the luxurious interior structure through its exquisite shell.
Where there should have been wheels, there was nothing; at the front, a large “Han” character was stamped, like a bright flag, proclaiming its identity.
If he hadn’t just been informed by the system that this was an “anti-gravity car,” Zhang Xiaoman might have thought it was a space shuttle.
Outside, his dog Jin Bao had stopped barking, and Zhang Xiaoman heard the bedroom door open; it was his mom, awakened by the noise.
“What, what’s going on?”
His mom, opening the door, also got a shock.
She stared dumbfounded at the scene inside the room, taking a moment to realize whether she was still dreaming or not.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman also had his work cut out for him explaining what had just happened.
After listening, his mom was also amazed.
But then she made a point, saying that despite everything, she expressed strong disapproval of Zhang Xiaoman’s severe destruction of the furniture.
Zhang Xiaoman let it go in one ear and out the other.
His mind was entirely on the anti-gravity car, and his expression had transformed from initial gloom to present joy.
“Hahaha, who would have thought!
I had just thought of buying a car, and big brother System so thoughtfully delivered one to me, and not just any car— a cross-era limited edition!
What a delightful surprise!”
As he spoke, his hands couldn’t stop feeling the outer body of the car, enjoying the unique sensation he had never experienced before as his heart filled with joy.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know which switch he had touched, only to see the layer of transparent curved cabin suddenly open.
The sci-fi-filled cockpit instantly became reachable.
Who would have thought my first car would be such a huge deal…”
Zhang Xiaoman was sitting down while incessantly grumbling about something, looking excited.
His mother had been standing by, sizing up the car when she suddenly asked,
“That, Xiao Man, how do you plan to drive this car out?”
She said that and then took another glance at the small bedroom, whose largest features were probably two windows that were slightly more than a meter in height and width.
Upon hearing this, the happy expression on Zhang Xiaoman’s face instantly froze.
He stiffly looked around him, feeling as if he had plummeted into the Mariana Trench, his entire being stuck in a brief freeze.
Seeing this, his mother shook her head and walked out.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoman, who had snapped out of his daze, frustratingly scratched his head.
In the moments that had just passed, he had already thought of several methods to get out.
However, no matter which method, they all closely involved the two words ‘tear down the house.’
He feared that just as he would step out, the property management would be knocking at his door.
Actually, after the initial excitement, Zhang Xiaoman understood that, setting aside a series of other driving and entry challenges, it was also impossible for him to simply drive the car out like that.
“This car doesn’t seem to be able to become invisible.
Not to mention the satellites in the sky; just the cameras in the city could push me into the public eye in minutes…”
He shook his head and was about to disembark when his eyes suddenly got drawn to a red button in front of him.
Then, driven by intense curiosity, his finger couldn’t help but press down on it.
“This should be the start button…
Pressing it should be fine, right?
At worst, I won’t fly out, I’ll just start it to see what exactly happens…”
As he spoke, his finger had already touched the button.
With a clear electronic alert sound, the car’s interior went from dull and dim to bright, and all the lights on the car’s shell lit up.
The roof of the car immediately sealed shut, and with a “zzt~” sound, the transparent glass of the cabin flipped and transformed into a silver-white shell.
While Zhang Xiaoman was still at a loss, he suddenly heard an electronic female voice around him.
“Ding, dear car owner, hello, welcome to using Da Han Technology product.
This product is a Civilian Base Type, please do not fly above the stratosphere, for detailed functions please refer to the user manual…”
“Ding, it’s detected that this is the first start-up, please enter your fingerprint and iris information to bind with your car…”
Zhang Xiaoman was staring blankly at the LCD screen that had suddenly extended right in front of him from the right side, and his finger inadvertently pressed down on it.
“Ding, entry successful, car owner information has been bound…”
As this alert sounded, Zhang Xiaoman saw the interior walls of the car suddenly change and surprisingly turned into the environment of his own bedroom.
And now, he felt as if he was sitting on a flying carpet, with everything around him except for some function buttons of the driver’s seat switched to the outside scenery.
“Is this, is this a holographic screen?”
Zhang Xiaoman touched around him, still able to feel the structure of the car, and immediately understood that this must be some high-tech facility.
Immediately after, he saw his altitude suddenly rise a bit, as if he had floated up from the ground.
If one were to look from the outside at that moment, they would see the silver-white Anti-gravity Car quietly hovering mid-air.
