Chapter 174 High-Tech Transformation, the Aloof School Beauty is Stunned

After the heavy truck left Dali, the road conditions gradually became smooth.

After Cangshan Mountain receded behind the car, the mountain road turned into a wide provincial highway.

The crystal glasses in the carriage occasionally clinked. White noise masked the sound of tires rolling over seams.

Shen Qingci sat at one end of the living room sofa.

A tie-dyed shawl was draped over her lap. Nougat was placed beside her.

She gazed out the window at the receding hillside and flicked the silver bell at the opening of her bag with her fingertips.

A faint ringing sound drifted into the cockpit.

Chen Lang glanced at the rearview mirror: "With the drawers full, doesn't it feel a bit empty inside?"

Shen Qingci did not turn around.

"With more stuff, the car doesn't look like it was just borrowed."

"This car is registered in my name."

I wasn't talking about the car.

Chen Lang's fingers stopped at the edge of the steering wheel.

Shen Qingci lowered her eyes and turned the wooden buttons on her shawl over.

"I've lived in many places before."

"Things shouldn't be left lying around at home, school, or hotel."

"Because we don't know when we'll have to move."

Chen Lang did not respond.

He raised his hand and tapped the center console twice.

"Titan, lower the cabin lights and maintain a smooth cruise."

"Executed".

The lights in the living quarters dimmed slightly. The light from outside the windows instantly became sharp and clear.

Shen Qingci looked up at the cockpit: "Aren't you going to ask me where I went after that?"

"You'll say it if you want to."

"So when are you going to ask?"

Chen Lang leaned back in his large chair, a smile playing on his lips: "Wait until you can't fit any more room in the drawer."

Shen Qingci glanced at him, and the corner of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Chen Lang opened the armored compartment next to the driver's seat and pulled out a long, pure black plate with one hand.

There are no trademarks on the panel. A silver light guide strip is embedded around the edge.

The four wheels are suspended under the board, and their angles are automatically adjusted to the slightest bumps in the vehicle.

The board is less than three centimeters off the ground and has no physical support.

Shen Qingci walked to the partition: "When did this get in the car?"

"A toy given to me by a friend."

"What friend?"

"Friends who have more free time."

Why are toys hidden in explosion-proof compartments?

Chen Lang tossed the longboard over: "Because it's expensive. If it breaks, you'll have to pay for it."

Shen Qingci reached out and caught it.

The moment the fingertip touched the board, the light guide suddenly lit up with a cold light. The wheel hub emitted a low buzzing sound, and the board began to vibrate at a high frequency.

She quickly let go.

Chen Lang took it back into his hand, and with a flick of his finger, the buzzing sound disappeared instantly.

"She has quite a temper. She hasn't found her owner yet and won't let anyone else touch her."

"Does it recognize you?"

"Judging from the current situation, it's a good choice."

Shen Qingci automatically filtered out his narcissism, her gaze precisely landing on the wheelset.

"There is no battery compartment."

"You can even tell that?"

"The middle section is two millimeters thicker than both ends. The power module should be hidden inside the core of the board."

Chen Lang looked at her, a smile in his eyes: "Student Shen, your scores for Tsinghua and Peking University weren't just guesses."

"So this is not a toy."

"Transportation."

"Can transportation be used inside a car?"

"Short distance."

"The carriage is only ten meters long."

"I didn't say it's suitable for ordinary people."

Chen Lang tucked the central folding table into the wall and threw the long plank onto the solid wood floor.

He lifted his foot and stepped on the tail of the board.

The side mechanical latches popped open, and all four all-terrain wheels simultaneously extended, gripping the ground firmly. A dark blue power line lit up on the underside of the board.

Chen Lang stepped onto the board with one foot.

The longboard glided silently along the ground. When it passed through the floor seams, the hydraulic axles of the wheel hubs automatically lifted, making the vehicle so stable that not even a cup of water would spill.

Shen Qingci reached out and steadied himself on the bar counter: "The car is still moving."

That's why I advised you to stand firm.

"I wasn't standing on it."

"You can give it a try."

Chen Lang walked around the living room once on the longboard.

Using the tiny gap at the edge of the bar, he twisted his waist slightly and completed a clean, zero-radius turn.

The board brushed against the leather armrest of the sofa, and the power instantly ceased.

The toe of the shoe touched the ground. The skateboard came to a steady stop in its original position.

Shen Qingci looked at the flawless wood grain on the ground: "You practiced this in the car?"

"The carriage is too small, which allows you to practice precision."

"It can also damage furniture."

Furniture is cheaper than people.

Shen Qingci squatted down to observe the set of wheels with its striking industrial aesthetics.

Four magnetic latches connect the wheel hub.

She reached out and touched one of them, and the mechanical mechanism immediately retracted with a "click".

"It can still be dismantled?"

"You asked a very sincere question."

Chen Lang touched the hidden buttons on both sides of the board with his toes.

The middle section of the longboard folds inward, and the tail clips quickly reassemble. The board is shortened by nearly half, and the wheel spacing is correspondingly narrowed.

In the blink of an eye, a long plank became a short plank on the street.

Shen Qingci took the shorter plank and weighed its weight: "Suitable for narrow terrain."

"For example, the farmers' market."

"You knocked over the stall?"

"No. I'm just ruling out one possibility for you in advance."

Shen Qingci recalled the morning market in Dali.

That day, she bargained with a stranger for the first time and bought a bag of junk food that her mother would absolutely forbid her from touching.

The shopkeeper gave her two extra dollars in change. She chased after him and slapped the money back into his hand.

On her way back, she knocked over half a basket of vegetables.

She handed the weak link back: "You were the one who bumped into me that time."

"I'll take responsibility for losing money, you take responsibility for losing face."

"You remember it very clearly."

"My memory only remembers bad things."

Why?

Good things tend to repeat themselves, but bad things need to be prevented in advance.

After those words, the carriage fell silent for a few seconds. Shen Qingci stopped laughing.

Chen Lang didn't explain, and instead raised his hand to press the mechanical lock button in the center of the panel.

The short board extends outwards at both ends and curves upwards at the front. The wheels are completely retracted into the bottom of the board, and the surface has highly traction anti-slip patterns. The surrounding LED strips are cut in a cool white.

The securing straps pop out from the side of the board.

A top-of-the-line individual ski has taken shape.

Shen Qingci stood still: "Is it the same piece?"

"Um."

"How many different uses did your friend actually use it for?"

"He's free."

"You already said that."

"That means he really has plenty of free time."

Chen Lang flipped the skis over and tapped the groove on the bottom of the skis.

The magnetic structure slides open to both sides. The front and rear ends converge, while the middle section widens.

Two hidden water surface fins popped out from the original wheel slots, the power lines turned light blue, and a water-resistant shield floated on the surface of the board.

The surfboard is complete.

Shen Qingci reached out and pressed down on the board.

The board automatically senses gravity and adjusts the cutting angle. A slight vibration from the high-frequency water flow cutting through your fingertips is felt.

"This is not an ordinary means of transportation."

"What's your friend's name?"

Chen Lang paused for a moment.

"It's not convenient to disclose at the moment."

Shen Qingci looked up: "Can't I say?"

"The main problem is that I can't make it up."

She stared at him for two seconds, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Lang casually clicked on the car's holographic projection.

Longboards are for highway cruising, shortboards are for narrow urban terrain, skis are for snow slopes and scree slopes, and surfboards provide water propulsion.

The parameters of the wheelset, core, and fins rotate synchronously in mid-air. The switching time is less than two seconds.

Shen Qingci looked at the floating terrain simulation map: "Is there snow on the Phoenix section?"

"There are some high up."

"What about the water area?"

"Tuojiang River".

"Did you prepare this in advance?"

"A trip should always include one route that doesn't follow the beaten path."

"Did you prepare this specifically for Fenghuang Ancient Town?"

Chen Lang casually waved the projection away, leaving only the three-dimensional lines of the mountain road, the water surface, and the snow line.

"no."

"Why is that?"

"Because next time I need to save someone, I can't just know how to drive."

The carriage fell silent again.

Shen Qingci looked at his back.

The wounds from the mudslide rescue have scabbed over, and her black windbreaker covers most of them, but she knows they are not fully healed inside.

"How many more people do you need to save?"

"Rescue them if you encounter them."

"What if we can't meet them?"

"Then let's get the equipment ready first."

Shen Qingci reached out and took the notebook from the bar counter.

She turned to the page with the phoenix route drawn on it and opened the watercolor box.

She didn't choose a color. She first drew a wheel with a black pen, then a snow line and a patch of water.

Chen Lang glanced at it: "It's quite abstract."

"The equipment you sent is also quite abstract."

"This was a gift from a friend."

"Your friend has terrible taste."

Chen Lang raised an eyebrow: "Navigator Shen is starting to evaluate the equipment?"

"I'm recording the route."

"What is the fourth symbol?"

Shen Qingci held the pen and drew an arc through the mountain road on the paper.

"Escape routes".

Chen Lang glanced at her.

"So this time you know to leave yourself an escape route?"

"You said that bad things should be prevented in advance."

"She learns very quickly."

"I learned it from you."

Chen Lang stopped teasing her.

He walked back to the driver's seat and pulled out a thin, silver-gray piece from under the center console.

The thin sheet, only the size of a fingernail, was attached to the side of the longboard the moment it was placed, and a faint mechanical meshing sound immediately came from inside the board.

Chen Lang's eyes flickered slightly.

[Ding! Successfully redeemed a God-tier All-Terrain Skateboard and its accompanying specialization, consuming 300,000 reputation points.]

The system notification sounded deep in his mind, but he ignored the semi-transparent panel that popped up in the void.

A vast amount of muscle memory and braking skills for all kinds of extreme terrain are instantly instilled into every part of the body.

Chen Lang stepped back onto the longboard.

Perform a low-speed emergency stop, glide, and take off inside the carriage, then press the switch button with one foot in sequence to complete the seamless transformation of the four modes.

The whole process was smooth and quick, taking less than ten seconds.

Shen Qingci watched as he flicked the board back into his hand with the back of his foot.

"Have you trained before?"

"I know a little."

"Can you cut it into four different shapes in ten seconds?"

Practice makes perfect.

"This was your first time using it."

Chen Lang tossed the board into the storage compartment without changing his expression: "This shows I have extraordinary talent."

Shen Qingci didn't expose him; her gaze fell on the thin, silver-gray piece that had been removed.

"What is this?"

"Performance calibrator".

"Did a friend who had more free time give it to you?"

"He's so bored he'll do a little bit of anything."

Shen Qingci raised her cool eyes and looked at Chen Lang, asking a question.

"Chen Lang".

"Um?"

"This car, and all these things, were you planning to take me away all along?"

Chen Lang's smile faded. He rested his hand on the edge of the bar.

"The car was acquired by accident."

"I'm asking you."

The mountain road outside the window turns a corner.

Sunlight streamed through the bulletproof glass, landing on her slender, white left wrist, where the black sandalwood prayer beads gleamed softly.

Chen Lang looked at her.

"Shen Qingci, you don't need to doubt everything that's left behind just because you're afraid of losing it."

Her fingers, which were holding the candy wrapper, turned slightly white.

"I have no doubt."

"That makes it even simpler."

Chen Lang took a step forward and bent down.

Her fingertips casually rang the little silver bell tied to the nougat bag.

The crisp sound of bells rang out between the two of them.

"You can put things in the drawer."

"People can too."

Shen Qingci raised her head and looked directly at him.

"And you?"

"I'll drive."
