Chapter 4 Buying a Car
With one last thing to take care of, Li Younan quickly composed himself. He took out his phone and called Yang Ting.

Seemingly in retaliation for not answering his previous three calls, this call quickly turned into a "The user you dialed is busy" message, clearly indicating that the call had been hung up on.

Li Younan wasn't annoyed. He sent Yang Ting another WeChat message, asking if she was home. But after clicking send, he discovered that he had been blocked by her.

He chuckled to himself, thought for a moment, and realized that he hadn't left much with Yang Ting. Apart from a laptop, some clothes, and a few pairs of shoes, there was no need to take anything else with him.

As for those clothes, Li Younan thought for a moment and realized they were all summer clothes.

Because Yang Ting felt that winter clothes took up too much space, she forced him to send them home a while ago.

In Yang Ting's words, the walk-in closet is only so big, it simply can't hold that many clothes, and anyway, she doesn't wear winter clothes.

In reality, Li Younan didn't have many clothes. He only had a small compartment in the entire walk-in closet, less than a quarter of the space. The rest of the room was filled with Yang Ting's clothes, including winter clothes.

Overbearing?
Actually, these were all minor matters, and Li Younan didn't care. But now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little disappointed.

Since they're all summer clothes, they're not worth much money. If it's really not worth it, it's okay to just throw them away.

As for that computer, he bought it when he first entered university. Both its configuration and performance were already outdated, so he left it at home and rarely used it.

Thinking about this, Li Younan realized that there wasn't really anything in the house worth tidying up. Those clothes, if Yang Ting needed them, she could keep them; otherwise, she could simply throw them in the trash.

With that in mind, Li Younan decided not to call Yang Ting anymore. It wasn't too late yet, so he could prepare for the next part of the plan.

His plan, of course, was to fulfill his dream.

When he was very young, his mother lived with him in the county town, which was not an easy thing for a single woman.

His mother was a quiet woman who preferred to stay comfortably at home when she had nothing to do. From a very young age, Li Younan had very few memories of traveling far from home.

When Li Younan was a child, after learning about some famous tourist attractions in his textbooks, the teacher would ask, "Which of you have been there?" All the other children would raise their hands, and Li Younan would look at them with great envy.

However, Li Younan did not blame his mother, nor did he ever make a fuss or demand that she take him, just as his mother would gently accept his choice.

The first time he truly traveled far from home was when he went to university. It was then that he took a long-distance bus and a high-speed train for the first time to study in a place thousands of kilometers away, to experience a different life in a place with a completely different environment and culture from his hometown.

Such an experience is undoubtedly exciting.

However, there weren't many opportunities to travel during university. He needed to study diligently and acquire a skill that could pave the way for his future. During holidays, being precocious, he would choose to stay in the city where the university was located and find a decent part-time job to earn money. He thought to himself that after graduation, he would definitely travel around.

However, when graduation came, because of his good abilities, he entered this company for an internship during his senior year. He then seamlessly transitioned into a full-time employee, which was followed by high-intensity work. Fortunately, the rewards were also good. Although he didn't have time to travel, he has persevered to this day.

Now that he has finally let go of everything and awakened a check-in system, he can finally travel to every place that can make him feel new and exciting.

The most convenient and suitable way for him to do this is to have a car.

Li Younan carefully studied the check-in points on the map. Some were cultural landscapes in cities, but most were in the wild. These points were scattered across mountains, deserts, grasslands, rivers, beaches, and even some remote, untouched places.

Having a car will make life's journey more pleasant and convenient.

Li Younan opened his phone and checked his bank account balance. It was pretty good, over 10 yuan. After the company's 2n+1 compensation arrived, it would probably reach a little over 20 yuan. For a 25-year-old, saving this much money was quite impressive, and Li Younan was very satisfied.

However, using this amount of money to start a trip still seems a bit tight, with the biggest expense naturally being the car. To get a car that can take me around, there are two main options: buy a new car or buy a used car. At the same time, whether to buy a new energy vehicle or a gasoline car also needs careful consideration.

If Li Younan hadn't completed the first check-in, he might have been more conflicted. But now that he had car repair skills, making a choice became much easier. This skill not only allowed him to fix a broken car, but its greater significance lay in its ability to assess the condition of a vehicle. Therefore, Li Younan's choice was undoubtedly a used gasoline car.

Li Younan hailed a taxi and headed straight for the used car market.

With a limited budget, Li Younan naturally couldn't focus on luxury cars. When choosing a car, his first priority was durability, followed by ease of maintenance, and then space—because he would be carrying a lot of things.

Of course, Li Younan didn't intend to keep driving the same car forever. Although he gave up a stable source of income to travel, because of the system, Li Younan felt that he would become richer and richer. He felt no anxiety whatsoever. Although he didn't know why, he felt that he would probably get a better car soon—a kind of mysterious confidence, perhaps.

After Li Younan briefly explained his needs to the salesperson, the salesperson quickly recommended several vehicles that met his requirements. The first one was a 2013 Dodge pickup truck. The salesperson spoke enthusiastically, describing the vehicle's performance parameters: "Look, it's only driven a little over 7 kilometers. This car is very popular in America."

Li Younan did not reply. 17 yuan wasn't a low price, although it was a significant discount from its original cost. After circling the car a few times, Li Younan decided to discard it—it was too fuel-inefficient.

The salesperson then recommended several more cars, but Li Younan wasn't satisfied with any of them. Some didn't meet his expectations in terms of condition, while others exceeded his budget. It seemed finding a satisfactory car in the used car market wasn't an easy task.

The salesperson said somewhat helplessly, "Brother, how about you come back to check it out in a while?"

Li Younan didn't mind. Anyway, there were still two checkpoints in the city. Li Younan decided to go and complete those two checkpoints before slowly setting off, so waiting a few days wouldn't be a problem.

However, just as he was about to leave, a flatbed truck towing an accident-damaged Land Cruiser stopped at the market entrance.
