Chapter 532 I Prefer You the Way You Are Now
Seeing the old man's helpless expression, Li Ji asked, "Grandpa, are you really sure you know how to drive?"
"Back then, we could drive them, but this tank is quite different from the one we had back then."
"Isn't this just a car? I can drive it!"
Without saying a word, Shark Baby casually tossed the old man out, and he spun two and a half times in the air, scaring everyone into screaming. If Li Ji hadn't caught the old man, his old bones would have been shattered.
The old man nestled in Li Ji's arms and said confidently, "Don't worry, I was in a much worse situation when I parachuted into Germany. The German devils even shot my parachute in, but I'm still perfectly fine—click!"
The old man coughed out a tooth.
Li Ji really suspected that these old men might die on the way.
Li Ji repeatedly reminded Shark Baby, "Be careful, don't be reckless."
"understood."
Shabao closed the cover.
Everyone stepped back 40 meters, held their breath, and stared at the tank.
A long time passed, and not even the sound of a tank engine could be heard.
The hood opened, and Shark poked its head out: "Li Ji, something's wrong with this car."
Li Ji quickly went over to check.
Is this tank broken?
"It's definitely broken! Look at this joystick, the cart won't move no matter how I push it."
Shark kept fiddling with the manual transmission grip, almost to the point of taking it apart.
"You haven't even started the car, of course it won't work, get out now!"
Li Ji decided to try it himself.
Modern tank driving systems are so simple that they really don't look much different from those of cars.
The gear shift, steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, etc. are all pretty much the same.
He started the engine, gently pressed the accelerator, and the tank began to move.
I was a little nervous at first, but after driving for a while, I found that it was indeed similar to a car, or even more stable.
Li Ji stopped the car, opened the hood, and heard a round of applause.
Shark Baby jumped up and down, shouting, "Li Ji is amazing!"
The veterans exclaimed, "I've never seen such a talented tank driver even during the Great Patriotic War! He was driving the tank like it was nothing short of genius, without any instruction, on his very first time in the vehicle!"
An old man looked bewildered: "Has the Great Patriotic War ended?"
Li Ji just thought this group of people were being ridiculous.
You bunch of people can't even scrape together one driver's license!
After Dailulu paid, the arms dealer told Li Ji that he had another batch of missiles that could be delivered within three days if needed.
Li Ji promptly paid the deposit.
In modern warfare, firepower is everything; it's much better than those four guys struggling to tear apart a tank by hand.
They agreed on the time and place for the transaction, which took place three days later in the Wawulue mountain area.
The two shook hands and said goodbye. Li Ji asked, "I still don't know your name?"
The other person said expressionlessly, "Your name isn't important. What's important is that I have what you want. Therefore, I won't ask your name. In our line of work, the less you know, the safer you are."
"But I still need to have a way of addressing you."
"Just call me Mr. L. Goodbye."
Mr. L and his bodyguards boarded the helicopter. The rotors stirred up dust and sand, and the plane gradually disappeared into the gray haze.
"Mr. L."
Li Ji repeatedly pondered the meaning behind the name.
Whether you are from China, South Korea, or Japan, you can use L as your name code.
He couldn't discern anything from him at all. He then asked Delulu, "During our conversation just now, could you sense anything about this person's background?"
"I can't feel the meow at all."
"Investigate him."
Over the next hour, Li Ji sensed the despair of the driving school instructors.
No driving instructor could teach three aliens and five Soviet veterans on the verge of dementia at the same time.
"Shark, don't floor the gas pedal!"
"Milia, can you stop touching me? The gear shift is over there."
"Sir, this is really a tank, not a car from American imperialism."
On the contrary, Delulu learned very quickly and mastered it in no time.
She shifted the gear and looked at Lee Ki expressionlessly.
"I've learned how to meow."
"Your reaction is really unusual to me. Shouldn't you be very excited?"
"Too many emotions will only affect my study progress, meow."
"Indeed, once you stop being emotional, your IQ takes over."
Upon hearing this, Delulu began to inwardly gasp for breath.
What do you mean by "intelligence reigns supreme, meow"? I've always been very intelligent, meow! If you can't see it, that's your problem, meow!
She was anxious inside, but her words remained remarkably calm: "Looks like you're quite satisfied with me now, meow."
Lee paused for a moment, looking at Dailulu in front of him, who seemed completely unfamiliar.
When she revealed her true form, she had a familiar face, only her expression was different.
Now, wearing the skin of an Earthling, they are completely like strangers.
I actually prefer you the way you were before.
Dailulu's heart was like a drop of water falling on a calm surface. She couldn't understand how such a small drop of water could create so many waves.
She gently squeezed the bracelet in her hand, her tone as calm as ever.
"What's so good about me, meow? I have a terrible temper, violent tendencies, I'm arrogant, I get angry easily, I like to dress up, and I don't consider other people's feelings..."
Delulu prayed in her heart: Stop scolding meow, stop scolding meow! Why am I so cruel to myself when I scold myself, meow!
Li Ji's next words were like a stone thrown into a lake in her heart, stirring up even bigger waves.
“But that’s who you are. Although you have many minor flaws, I always think how wonderful it would be if you didn’t have them. But without them, you wouldn’t be like yourself.”
"I'm a better me now, meow."
"Maybe so. But I just feel a sense of estrangement. It's not that I don't want you to become better, I just don't like you becoming like a robot, without that distinct, passionate, and energetic personality. Sometimes I get annoyed by you like that, but if you don't act like that for a while, I feel uncomfortable."
Delulu's heart trembled; no one had ever said these words to her before.
No one has ever been so open about accepting their own personality.
They always say, "You need to change. You shouldn't be like this."
Or perhaps they keep quiet because they're too proud to talk about it.
But you could tell from their eyes that they didn't like him.
Even if you take away all those bad habits, you might still be an unpopular person.
People who are flamboyant and unrestrained are the most annoying.
But Li Ji actually thought that was fine too.
Delulu seemed to understand the answer to the question she had always been afraid to touch.
The reason I didn't dare to face that question was because I didn't understand why I liked Lee Ki, but now everything seems clear.
Human nature is like a stubborn rock; no matter how much you try to polish it, its edges will always remain.
If someone is willing to embrace those sharp edges with passion, what reason do you have not to love them in return?
Dailulu clutched the bracelet, her lips slightly parted. (End of Chapter)
