Background

Maqiu began as a neglected, front-wheel-less shared electric scooter in the Oddity World. Other scooters mocked it for being unable to carry passengers, but it eagerly accepted Mu Rufeng's ten-yuan fare by opening a mouth in its handlebars to eat the cash. Mu Rufeng used a Flame Vehicle Card on Maqiu during their escape from a Netherworld traffic officer, allowing the scooter to race through the city and climb a building while leaving a trail of Hellfire 150.

After Mu Rufeng took Maqiu into his Item Inventory, Maqiu began calling him “master.” It accompanied him through the Oddity World and later asked permission to aid its former scooter companions when they were threatened. Its concern for those companions remained strong even after it had become much more powerful than them 152 166 167.

Maqiu successfully entered the real world with Mu Rufeng and grew by consuming Soul Coins. Although it initially believed its Level 3 hardware was its absolute limit, later vehicle cores, components, and Mu Rufeng's support allowed it to repeatedly break through that restriction 179 267 413 414.

After Mu Rufeng's return from the Eighteen Levels of Hell, he refined Maqiu into a Level 11 Spirit Treasure. The refinement removed its ghost energy, converted it into immortal power, and enabled it to transform into a spaceship capable of void travel and cross-world traversal 561.

Appearance

Maqiu's default form is a small electric scooter with a conscious voice and a mouth that emerges from its handlebars when it eats money. Its appearance and forms change substantially with upgrades and modes 150 179 561.

• Initially lacked a front wheel and was visibly dilapidated 150.
• Can become a flame-wreathed Blazing Motorcycle or Blazing Chariot 279 304.
• Mecha Transformation can produce a three-meter-tall armored form with a chest energy sphere 276.
• Its final refined form can independently transform from a motorcycle into a mecha 561.
• Can further transform into a spaceship 561.

Personality

Maqiu was initially timid, easily alarmed by stronger vehicles and the Netherworld Police Department. Mu Rufeng's support made it more confident, though it remained aware of its limits and frequently worried about Mu Rufeng's safety 150 268.

It is lively, excitable, vain, and fond of attention. Maqiu enjoys meeting fellow scooters, filming dramatic stunts, and becoming the center of public attention; it also has a habit of addressing people close to Mu Rufeng as “mistress” or “Master's Master” 296 341 351 561.

Despite its boastfulness, Maqiu is loyal and protective. When entrusted to Long Meijuan, it treated protecting her and her unborn child as a direct command from Mu Rufeng 364 580.

• Restored its battered body after being chased by stronger vehicles by consuming 100,000 Soul Coins 268.
• Its early upgrades were limited by poor hardware rather than a lack of money 267.
• Higher breakthroughs require vehicle cores and components rather than Soul Coins alone 413 414.

• Even when its level enhancement is capped, Mecha Mode provides exceptional speed, flight, maneuverability, flamethrowers, and energy weapons 288.

Maqiu has a personal storage space accessible through its seat compartment.
