Chapter 456 The Plan to Leave
When Li Chenglong returned to the villa, it was already 8 p.m. He and Han Xing each took a quick shower in their respective rooms before going downstairs for dinner. One thing that the Gods Base did relatively well was that even the four most powerful families in the inner circle didn't lavishly spend money; the food was only slightly better.
Wang Shanshan arrived shortly after dinner. This afternoon, when the class dismissed, Li Chenglong had asked her to look after something and test it out, so she hurriedly ate a quick meal at home, tidied up briefly, and rushed over.
Li Chenglong, Han Li and Han Xing (siblings), and Wang Shanshan arrived at the back of the villa. There were lighting facilities and a large open space there, making it the perfect place to conduct tests.
Looking at the bright lights, Wang Shanshan asked, somewhat puzzled, "It's already past nine o'clock at night. According to the regulations of the Gods Base, there should be a widespread power outage. Even in my house, only three or four rooms have electricity. Why do you still have it here?" Li Chenglong didn't answer the question. Instead, he took out a car from his psionic space and asked with a smile, "What do you think of this car?"
The three of them had all witnessed Li Chenglong's abilities before, so they were not surprised that a car appeared out of thin air. They all gathered around to take a look.
Li Chenglong explained from the side: "This vehicle is called Dawn Q1, or Q1 for short. It is 5.3 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.7 meters high, with a wheelbase of 3 meters and a minimum ground clearance of 0.25 meters. The vehicle weighs 2.2 tons. It has a specially designed gearbox and engine. Because it uses crystals as an energy source, it does not need to emit any exhaust gas. However, it still needs to be cooled by adding water."
Li Chenglong then took the driver's seat. After the other three were seated, he said, "Little Q, please introduce yourself." The three then saw a very cute little girl's image appear on the central control screen. She smiled and said, "Little Q, the onboard AI of the fully automatic multi-functional small crystal battle vehicle, is at your service. This vehicle is fully automatic, but can also be operated manually in a semi-automatic mode. The main frame of the vehicle is made of the same alloy as the S1 and S2 mechs, significantly reducing weight while making it more robust and reliable."
Xiao Q's introduction was quite long, taking more than twenty minutes to finish. Li Chenglong had Xiao Q drive the three of them around the neighborhood, and when they returned, he asked with a smile, "How did the three of you feel about this car?"
The Korean star spoke first: "This is simply my dream car. It has a top speed of 300 km/h and is almost silent. There is absolutely no noise, and it is very quiet when driving. The most important point is that it is very comfortable. The road is not very smooth, but you can't feel any bumps during the whole ride."
Han Li continued, "My family used to own an Audi Q7, which I thought was pretty good, but it paled in comparison to this one. The interior is very elegant, there's no odor at all, and it's very comfortable to sit in. And even though it's fully autonomous, it feels better than what experienced drivers with decades of experience can drive."
Wang Shanshan, however, had a different idea. She asked anxiously, "Mr. Li, I see there's a weapon system on the panel. Can this vehicle be equipped with weapons?"
Li Chenglong nodded: "That's right. This vehicle does come equipped with weapons, otherwise it wouldn't be called the Crystal War Chariot. Currently, there are two types of Crystal War Chariots: one is the current SUV, and the other is a two-person vehicle with a cargo bed in the back. The weapons they carry are also different."
As Li Chenglong spoke, he said to the vehicle next to him, "Little Q, activate the weapon system." Little Q replied, "Command confirmed, activate weapon system immediately." Everyone saw the two headlights on the front of the car retract, and then two gun muzzles extended. Although they were guns, their caliber was close to 5 centimeters. Not only that, two small missile launchers also retracted from the sides of the vehicle, and two machine guns that no one had ever seen before appeared in the trunk.
Li Chenglong explained, "These are all the weapons on the Dawn Q1. It carries fewer weapons than the Q2, but it's definitely enough. At the front are two crystal beam guns that use crystals as energy. The missile launchers on both sides can each hold four small crystal missiles. The two machine guns at the rear are dual-purpose machine guns that can fire both crystal bullets and regular bullets, using 7.62mm ammunition. Moreover, the entire vehicle is covered with a beam coating and a special alloy, so even if it is hit by continuous fire from anti-tank rockets, it will not suffer any damage."
Wang Shanshan's eyes sparkled as she excitedly asked, "Mr. Li, you brought out such a nice car, it can't just be for showing off, right? To be honest, I'm very interested in this car, please name your price." Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Talking to you is so simple, no need for so many beating around the bush. The cost price of this car is 5 level 8 crystals, and I'll sell it for 8 level 8 crystals."
Even though Wang Shanshan was among the top three in the Gods' Base and had hunted many high-level beasts and zombies, acquiring a considerable amount of crystals, she was still somewhat shocked by the price. She said with some difficulty, "To be honest, Mr. Li, crystals from zombies, zombie beasts, and other beasts are extremely rare. Even I have only collected less than 40 level 8 crystals this year, only 8 level 9 crystals, and we estimate that there are less than 5 level 10 crystals in the entire base. We've never even seen a level 11 crystal."
Li Chenglong then realized that the drop rate of Earth crystals in this world was so low. However, he couldn't sell them at a loss, so he said, "Alright then, I'll lower the price a bit, 6 level 8 crystals, how about that?"
"Really?!" Wang Shanshan said with great joy, "Then it's settled. I want four. I wonder when Mr. Li can deliver them?" Li Chenglong immediately took out four more: "These four, one yellow, two black, and one white, are yours."
Wang Shanshan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone come and pick up the car right away. I also need to go home to get the crystal for you." Without waiting for Li Chenglong to speak, she left.
Li Chenglong parked the four cars in the villa's parking lot and then said to Han Li and Han Xing, "This car that we just drove is yours. To be honest, I may be leaving this place in about ten days to go and see how things are going elsewhere. Before I leave, I want to leave something behind for this base so that you can live a better life here."
Upon hearing that Li Chenglong was leaving, the siblings hurriedly said, "We'll go with you!"
Li Chenglong smiled and waved his hand: "I can't agree to your request this time. I have two reasons. First, I believe you have also realized that I am not from this world, and I am about to return to my original world. So even if you continue to follow me, I can't stay with you for too long."
He continued, "Secondly, taking you all with me would be a burden. Although Han Xing is now a dual-elemental ability user, he is only at level 2 and his strength is relatively weak. Han Li is just an ordinary person, so it's even less suitable for her. But don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for you when I leave."
Although the siblings were very reluctant, they didn't say anything more since Li Chenglong had already put it that way.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chenglong took out a psionic apple and handed it to Han Li: "Here, take this. I originally wanted to test Han Xing before giving it to you, but after truly understanding this base, I realized that this world still needs me to do something, so I abandoned my previous plan. Go and eat it quickly, let me see what kind of superhuman you can become."
With tears in her eyes, Han Li accepted the glowing psionic apple and quickly left. Li Chenglong gave Han Xing a wink, and Han Xing followed her.
Half an hour later, Wang Shanshan and several other ability users came again. She first handed a small box containing a sufficient number of level 8 crystals to Li Chenglong, then chatted with him about tomorrow's plans before leaving in her Dawn Q1.
When he returned to the second floor, Han Xing ran over excitedly and said, "Captain Li, my sister has become a superhuman!" Li Chenglong looked ahead and saw that Han Li had become a Level 1 dual superhuman of wood and water elements. He couldn't help but praise her and said, "A dual superhuman, very good. You must work even harder in the future."
Han Li wanted to say something, but seeing that Li Chenglong had already entered the bedroom and closed the door, she didn't follow. Han Xing then passed on everything Li Chenglong had taught him to his sister. He finally said, "Sister, I want to leave here when we're stronger and build our own base. Let's call it Dragon City. What do you think?"
Han Li nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's call it Dragon City, and Dragon City will always have an honorary city lord, whose name is Li Chenglong!"
