There's a saying that's been circulating online, "Too much money just turns into a bunch of numbers."
However, people who say this are generally still at the nouveau riche level.
For those at the very top, money is power, a weapon for setting the rules.
Whether money is meant to be spent or used depends on one's perspective and position; naturally, its value will differ.
Manhai Logistics is truly impressive.
But Bai Jiang, this young master, is nothing special.
Simply put, it's like a top-tier family spending a huge amount of money and resources to raise a useless person.
Bai Jiang's three hobbies: showing off, women, and racing.
As for management skills or business acumen, they are completely lacking.
Fanbao's summary is: A-Dou's abilities, Lü Bu's personality, Brother Kun's looks, and Cao A-Man's hobbies.
There's nothing I can do!
Bai Jiang is the only son of the Bai Clan.
The first in line to become crown prince is Bai Jiang, Bai Clan patriarch passed away three months ago. Even if Bai Jiang is useless, he still has to ascend the throne.
As for whether someone will purge the court of corrupt officials in the future, and whether the Bai Clan's business can be preserved, that's hard to say.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Ling Yi.
Fanbao had already provided Bai Jiang's coordinates, so Ling Yi naturally didn't need to ask Liu Manyun where she was going.
Following the navigation provided by Fanbao, we arrived at the destination.
However, Ling Yi's goal today is to complete the mission and obtain Fanbao Points.
If all else fails, then we'll have to resort to some unconventional methods.
A dozen minutes later, the car had entered the outer ring road.
[Host, we have detected significant hostility from the people in the three vehicles behind us. Do you wish to activate the free version of Combat Mode?]
"Hostile? Targeting me?"
[They're coming for Liu Manyun; it seems Liu Manyun plan has taken effect, Liu Yunfeng is desperate, preparing to take a risk.]
" Liu Yunfeng the demon and kills Liu Manyun?"
[Currently speaking, if Liu Manyun dies, Liu Yunfeng will indeed benefit the most.]
[Host, your chance has come!]
Ling Yi smiled slightly. Yes, the opportunity to complete the mission has arrived.
" Fanbao, activate Combat Mode."
Ling Yi issued the command in his mind, a smile of excitement curving his lips.
[ Combat Mode is now activated. Current safety assessment: Low risk.]
[Connecting to surrounding transportation network... Connection successful.]
[Scanning for three pursuing vehicles behind... Scan complete.]
[Vehicle type: Three modified black SUVs; Occupants: Three people per vehicle, totaling nine people.]
[Weaponry: Primarily melee weapons; in vehicle No. 3, one person in the rear driver's seat carries a homemade musket.]
[ Combat support scheme has been generated.]
[Host's current physical attributes: 1.2 times that of an average person.]
[Suggested tactics: Utilize vehicle mobility to create distance, combined with top-level Fighting skills for counterattacks.]
" Bao'er, that's a great suggestion. Don't make such casual suggestions next time!"
Didn't Ling Yi know to use a vehicle to pull them apart?
Don't you know to use hand-to -Fighting techniques in close combat?
Isn't that obvious, Fanbao?
[...]
Fanbao sent a bunch of ellipses.
Finally, he said six words.
[Just filling up the timeline and word count!]
No problem.
"1.2 times the average person's surname? I wonder if that's impressive!" Ling Yi grinned.
To be honest, Ling Yi really wants to fight someone right now.
Like a child who has just received a new toy.
The playability of a toy itself is not important; what matters most is whether it can be shown off.
Experiencing this for the first time, Ling Yi felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, she was extremely excited.
Damn, after two lifetimes as a nobody, today I can finally put on a blockbuster!
[Host, please don't underestimate your physical abilities, which are 1.2 times that of an average person.]
[With the support of top-tier Fighting skills, 1.2 times the power is enough to produce a qualitative change. Moreover, Fanbao will plan the optimal evasion and attack routes for you.]
"Alright, let me see what tricks I can pull off with this 1.2x."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, Fanbao's interface instantly transformed into a pale blue holographic projection on his retina.
Several virtual guide lines, visible only to Ling Yi, suddenly appeared on the previously empty road ahead.
[WARNING! The Number One behind is accelerating. A rear-end collision is expected in three seconds. Recommended action: Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and press the accelerator to 80%.]
"No, Bao'er, what is 80%? I don't know!"
[Host, step on the gas, leave the rest to Fanbao!]
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yi Earth Reincarnation both hands and slammed his right foot on the accelerator.
Just then, Ling Yi felt as if a faint electric current had passed through his hands and legs.
Then, the force he used to turn the steering wheel and press the accelerator Changes uncontrollably.
Or rather, it's Changes under precise control.
The black SUV Roar, and its massive body swerved sharply to the left lane like a nimble cheetah.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the SUV that had attempted to ram the Prado from behind struck the very spot where it had been. However, due to Ling Yi's Limit change, it only grazed the rear of the Prado.
The enormous reaction force caused the SUV to instantly lose control, spinning and crashing into the roadside guardrail.
"Boom!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and vehicle Number One was completely destroyed.
Liu Manyun, who was in the passenger seat, leaned sharply as the vehicle shook violently.
But she simply reached out and grabbed the handrail above the car door, her beautiful face showing no sign of panic, and not even her breathing became disordered.
She turned her head and glanced at the overturned SUV in the rearview mirror.
She glanced again at Ling Yi, who looked calm and even had a smile on his lips.
Her red lips parted slightly. "Good driving skills, and quick reflexes. It seems the information Gao Xiaolan gave you was indeed inflated."
"Hehe, President Liu, you flatter me. The main thing is that this car is really easy to drive."
Ling Yi said casually, his gaze fixed on the holographic projection in front of him.
In his heart, he asked Fanbao, " Bao'er, when did you develop holographic projection capabilities?"
[The host is a pseudo-holographic projection generated based on visual memory and visual imaging technology; it is not a true holographic projection and cannot be seen by outsiders.]
Regardless of the technology, for Ling Yi, practicality is all that matters.
Moreover, it looks very sci-fi and high-end.
[Warning! Vehicles Number Two and Number Three are flanking the host vehicle from both sides, attempting to force it to stop.]
[Suggested maneuver: Change lanes continuously, using the natural barrier formed by the two heavy trucks ahead to weave in from the opposite direction.]
"A reverse incursion? While that's powerful, it's not a tank after all!"
Please trust Fanbao's calculations.
Ling Yi gritted his teeth, his hands moving in a blur on the steering wheel.
This time, Fanbao didn't offer direct assistance.
They only provided a holographic projection navigation.
The rest were all maneuvers that Ling Yi pulled off on his own, relying entirely on his intuition and driving skills.
The accelerator, brake, and steering wheel—the two pedals and the steering wheel seemed to come alive under his feet and in his hands.
The Land Cruiser's imposing body glides through traffic like a fish.
Every lane change was precise to the millimeter level, narrowly missing the bumper of the car next to them.
The two SUVs chasing them on the left and right were so frightened by Ling Yi's reckless driving that they slowed down, fearing a collision.
Taking advantage of this opening, Ling Yi executed a beautiful drift and slipped directly into the gap between the two heavy trucks in front of him.
