Zhan Long Legendary Driving God

The Ferrari’s window rolled down in the rain to reveal a young man with dyed hair. His eyes were full of arrogance. “I see you brought a loser as well.”

34D smiled, saying: “Yes…”

My self-confidence was hit, and I clenched my fist in anger. I wanted to rush out and punch the Ferrari, but I wouldn’t have enough to pay for the damages. Forget it; I’ll resist the urge.

“Let’s start!”

The 34D at my side pushed the gear stick down and started the engine. The Ferrari at the side also started to move.

The car rushed forward, and the momentum was frightening.

The three cars rushed forward and down the mountainous road under the rain.

Straight ahead was a sharp turn, and I grabbed the armrest tightly and clenched my mouth. If the car did not drift at this speed, it would get flung into the ravine below.

The beauty beside me turned the steering wheel violently while tugging on the gear stick. Such precise drifting!

As expected, the tyres of the car skidded, taking a nice drifting arc. After completing this turn, 34D managed to pull ahead.

34D’s lips curled into a smile, laughing sweetly. She turned to look at me, but I returned a blank stare, which disappointed her. She probably wanted to scare me into kneeling on the seat and begging, “Please, spare me and let me out of this car.”

The roaring of an engine could be heard from behind. The Ferrari swerved past the TT, overtaking it. The TT could not compare to that of a race car.

The Goddess gripped the steering wheel, and her eyes were glued to the front. She continued to accelerate.

34D tried to overtake the Ferrari but to no avail. She was slightly irritated and nearly scratched into one of the guard rails.

Rainwater splashed from the front when the Ferrari turned sharply, perpendicular to the TT. 34D had no choice but to slam the brakes in visible displeasure.

34D gritted her teeth when she did so.

The man in the Ferrari continued to laugh, saying: “What’s wrong? Do you only have this much skill? Where did the fiery attitude you had when you challenged my younger brother last week go? Hahaha!”

I exited the car hurriedly, walked over to the driver's seat, and knocked on the window. “Climb over to the passenger seat; let me try!”

34D was stunned: “You? Do you have a driver’s license?”

I smiled and replied: “Nope, but you don’t have to worry…”

“You’re asking me to relax when you don’t even have a driver’s license?”

“You already lost anyway, and since you want to die with me, you might as well let me try it out!”

“Okay then…”

34D decided, climbing over to the passenger seat. A pair of snow-white legs were displayed before me, making my mouth water. If she didn’t hate me, that would be great. What a beautiful lady, snow white…

Sitting in the driver’s seat, I push down the gear stick, poking my head out the window. “Hey, it isn’t over yet. First, one to the mountain wins, deal?”

The Ferrari man’s face contorted with disdain, saying: “Tch, a security guard… let me bet with you then!”

The Ferrari flew into action, followed closely by the Camaro and me at the end. I approached the second bend and slammed the pedal while pulling up the gear stick. The tire screeching when it flew past the Camaro could be heard as I brushed past it. That was a beautiful pass. End-to-head, the Camaro guy was afraid and had no choice but to slow down. Who would dare to follow me that closely?

It looked like I wouldn't accelerate at the fifth bend, but I did when I reached the turn. The TT was now side-by-side with the Ferrari, completing a high-risk overtaking move. The muddy water splashed onto the Ferrari’s car as I completed the maneuver.

34D could not hold in her laughter upon hearing the angry shout of the Ferrari man,

A few minutes later, the Ferrari overtook another car again. I gently held on to the steering wheel this time, tilting the car's rear. This scared the man, and he also turned the Ferrari, causing the rear to scratch against the Ferrari’s number plate.

“…”

As the TT rolled to a stop, the Ferrari stopped as well. The angry man opened the door and scolded: “Lin Wan Er, count yourself lucky this time. We will meet again. Damn it!”

The Ferrari and Camaro sped into the rain as losers of the race, quickly escaping in shame.

I lie back into the seat, body poised to look out the window. The rain slowly stopped as well.

34D silently sat there for a while, saying: “Your driving techniques aren’t half bad; where did you practice?”

I laugh, “I was in the traffic police department for a while. I was known as the number one driving god.”

“…”

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, I asked: “This is horrible weather to race in; how could you not treasure your life?”

Eyes a little red, she looks out the window. “Someone like you can not understand my past grievances.”

I laugh a little. “Your grievances? Look at me; I don’t have money for the next meal, and my rent hasn’t been paid for the past two days. Look at you: you drive an Audi TT and still call it a grievance? Your mother is a grievance!”

34D looks at me pitifully with apologetic eyes. She pushed the door open and said, “You should get out…”

Of course, I got out.

Zoom

The car engine roared, and the Audi TT sped away into the distance.

Standing in the rainwater, I was dumbfounded briefly before realizing: “Damn it, I just got left on the mountaintop! Great, this is a good comeback; this is a brutal comeback!”

Wiping the rainwater off my face, I smile. Reaching into my pocket, I find less than 10 cents. There’s no way I will be able to ride public transport back. What a minor issue; this couldn’t set me back one bit.

Taking to my heels, I ran an entire 20 kilometers back to the company. An incredible sight occurred – a young man dressed in a security guard uniform continuously running past public transport and rental cars, dredging deeper and deeper into the stream of traffic, stopping for no one at all.

After over an hour, I arrived at the entrance to the company, short of breath and panting heavily.

Naturally!

I only managed to return to the company at 5 p.m., which greatly worried me. I did not have any dinner prepared, but since it’s the rush hour now, I couldn’t also go to the company’s cafeteria to eat.

I left the company building after changing out.

As the night fell, the city’s lights shone brightly, as if a graceful woman had just worn her evening gown. What a pity, this sight could only be enjoyed by rich people and as for people like me… I belonged to the group known as ‘city garbage.'

Oh well, it’s time to earn money now.

Clang clang clang

The sound of the food banging against the wok clamored into the night. This was a stall that only opened at night. Fried rice, fried noodles, fried vegetables, and small dishes like this were sold, and there were many customers.

After cooking about 20 plates of fried rice, my head was full of sweat; the boss patted my shoulder and said: “Well done, Xiao Li, you’ve worked hard today. Here’s your pay for today…”

I ecstatically took the five yuan and set off for the next destination.

Beside the big road was a red light district club called Bi Hai Lan Tian. This is the place where rich people gather and waste money. As I slowly walked up to the entrance, the young bouncers ahead recognized me immediately.

After entering, a fatty looked at me and smiled heartily, saying: “Ah, you’ve finally arrived, Li Xiao Yao!”

I nodded my head, asking: “How many songs today?”

“3 songs, 10 yuan each!”

“Okay, thanks, Brother Biao!”

“Hold on, wear your attire first!”

A Western-style top was thrown at me, and I quickly put it on. Walking deeper into the club, I walked up the stage and sat before a giant piano. Putting my fingers to work, I played three songs in total – the first Tian Kong Zhi Cheng, the next being Xiao Gou Yuan Wu Qu, and the last being Yu De Yin Ji. After finishing the last song, the club erupted into applause.

I quickly exited the stage, smiling for the audience before leaving. Just as I was leaving, a tender arm grabbed my hand. It was the arm of a beautiful foreign lady, who hurriedly put a piece of paper into my front pocket. On it was a string of numbers. She smiled seductively and said: “Hi, call me!”

I smiled lightly and exited the main entrance, removing my attire, taking the three 10 yuan bills from the fatty, and walking away.

Looking at my back, Brother Biao lets out a deep sigh-

“My gosh, what a talent!”

Spending 5 yuan on a plate of omelet rice, I guess I managed to get by another day. Slowly walking along the big street, I see a huge LED screen displaying a “Destiny” advertisement. This game was a breakthrough many video game addicts have been waiting for. I am also a video game addict and wanted to dive into the world of “Destiny.” However, I did not have enough money at hand.

Moreover, only 1 million helmets were sold worldwide, and the black market sells them for 10000RMB a piece. There’s no way I would be able to play. Forget it; I should slowly save up and wander around.

It’s such a shame; the day after tomorrow will be the launch of “Destiny.” I’ll surely fall behind the rest if I miss the first-day launch!

I returned to my lodging, Long Hua Xiao Qu. It was a two-room flat with only a bedroom and living room, with a rent of 800 yuan. However, I have not paid the bill for two days now, and the sarcastic old landlady whose heart is cold and criticism is fiery would not let me stay for much longer. There was no other way to deal with this kind of woman at this age than to endure it.

Arriving at the first floor of the building, I reached for my keys and tried to open the door. Hmm? It wouldn’t open!

What’s going on?

Looking closely, I realized the lock had been changed. There was also a note above saying: ‘Li Xiao Yao since you haven’t paid the rent in two days, there are people coming tomorrow to decide if they want it. There’s no choice; I’m kicking you out. Your stuff is beside the kitchen!”

I turned around to find a blanket and some toiletries on the floor, all collected in one place.

Racking my brain to understand what’s happening, I finally understood-

Damn it, I’ve been evicted!

Lifting my head, I see countless bright stars in the night sky. It would be great for poetic inspiration…

Today is a weekend, and there will be countless mushy and romantic lovers in the park. I definitely can’t sleep there. I guess there’s no choice; I will have to sleep on the lawn outside Long Hua Xiao Qu. It’s summer anyway, so there won’t be much to disturb me besides the mosquito bites. I’m a strong man and know martial arts, so I won’t be scared of robbers.

Around 11 p.m., the night was cooling, and I was cuddled in the blanket. In the corner of the lawn, my consciousness slowly drifted away.

The mosquitoes buzzed incessantly around my head. This task was challenging, but I wouldn’t let it affect me. I placed a thick mosquito net over my head, which covered my face and protected me from the mosquitoes but did not obstruct my breathing.

The night passes, and at dawn, the rooster does its job.

I open my eyes and see the morning sky, which reminds me of a poem: I wake from my dreams, the willows billowing in the dying of the moonlight.

Before I finished reciting the poem, an arm suddenly rested on my shoulder. “Brother Xiao Yao, what are you doing sleeping outside?”
