Chapter 199 - The Driver's Skill Crystal
“This is the last time I'm helping you!”
“Oh, and remember—keep this under wraps. Otherwise, you're aware of the consequences.”
With those final words, Jiang Hao turned and walked away.
Lee Ya watched his retreating figure, biting her lip in frustration, but ultimately chose to trust him.
“He wouldn't lie to me.”
……
After his uncle was discharged, Jiang Hao spent a day at his uncle's place. Despite their pleas for him to stay longer, he was determined to return home.
Once home, Jiang’s mother lovingly prepared a sumptuous meal as a treat for Jiang Hao.
He had informed her right after his uncle's recovery, which had kept her in high spirits for days.
During dinner, Jiang’s father broached a new topic.
“Hao Hao, now that you've graduated, when do you plan to visit your grandparents back home and spend some time with them?”
Jiang Hao mulled it over before responding.
“Mom, I've thought it through. My sister starts her middle school exams the day after tomorrow. Once she's done, we'll visit them together.”
Jiang’s father simply nodded, offering no further comment.
After the meal, Jiang Hao stood on the balcony, gazing at the bustling traffic below, and a thought struck him.
“It's about time I got a car.”
“But first, I need to learn how to drive and get my driver's license.”
With this in mind, Jiang Hao set out to find some books on automotive driving from the past.
Unlike others, with the right books, he could quickly master the skill of driving.
……
Eventually, Jiang Hao found a copy of “Mobile Vehicle Driving Guide” at a bookstore.
He purchased the book and, finding a secluded corner, took it out.
The system's notification tone chimed in.
“Ding! ‘Mobile Vehicle Driving Guide' detected. Would you like to disassemble?”
Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Hao commanded, “Disassemble!”
The book in his hands vanished at his command.
Immediately after, the system chimed again.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for disassembling ‘Mobile Vehicle Driving Guide.' You have obtained a driving skill crystal, skill point +0.8, Experience Point +0.8!”
Driving Skills: This is the distilled essence of operating all kinds of vehicles. Once you have it, piloting a plane is a piece of cake, and pushing a train feels like a breeze!
“Decomposition complete. Would you like to proceed with extraction and integration?”
Jiang Hao stared at the description of the crystal, momentarily at a loss for words.
The system never fails to impress with its flair!
All I wanted was to quietly learn to drive a car, but the system just won't let me stay under the radar!
Flying a plane, sure, I can handle that.
But pushing a train? Really?
Since when can trains be pushed?
There's an old saying: bragging isn't like blowing smoke, and trains aren't meant to be pushed!
But in this system, it seems everything is turned on its head!
“Initiate integration!”
After a brief moment of mocking the system, Jiang Hao commanded the integration of the newly acquired crystal.
As the orb of light in his mind vanished, a flood of memories surged into Jiang Hao's consciousness.
In no time at all, he had mastered the art of driving, which had become almost second nature to him.
“Now all I need is a car!”
Having honed his driving skills, Jiang Hao felt an itch in his hands every time he laid eyes on a car.
He wasn't well-versed in cars, considering his family's modest means in the past. Owning a car was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Hence, he had never even considered getting a driver's license, much less driving.
So, to make a car purchase, he'd need to bring along someone knowledgeable about cars.
After giving it some thought, Jiang Hao decided to reach out to Soong Wan.
