When Scrapped Car saw this, he was so scared that he shuddered… He thought to himself: I thought I was a weirdo. But these guys are each more perverted than the other!
Salted Fish said, “If my Eldest Senior Brother were to get angry, he would eat you bit by bit, screw by screw! He wouldn’t leave you any paint!”
“I was wrong…” Scrapped Car had already recognized the reality. It was unable to run away on an empty stomach, so before it was full, it was best for him to be more cowardly.
However, he had his own plans. As long as he was full, he would definitely run away!
Far from these sickos!
“Amitabha!” At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation sounded.
Fangzheng chuckled and walked over. “Jingzhi, don’t be so fierce.”
Salted Fish curled his lips and said, “Master, I’m already gentle enough. According to my temper back then, he will just be a pile of junk now.”
Scrapped Car was so frightened that he hurriedly hid to the side. He felt that among the three things, this bald, furless fellow looked the kindest. He was the easiest to swindle. Getting some shelter from him first until he could have a meal was his plan. He would immediately run after that.
Hence, Scrapped Car came towards Fangzheng and said, “That… Your disciple is so terrifying.”
Fangzheng said, “Patron, don’t be afraid. Watch a video and relax.”
“Watch a video?” Scrapped Car car said excitedly, “Can we watch a movie?”
Fangzheng said, “Of course. Take a look…”
With that said, Fangzheng took out his cell phone and played the video. A black background and white text appeared—Car Scrapping Process…
At first, Scrapped Car didn’t really want to watch it. However, he ended up seeing his own kind being violently torn apart into components and stuffed into a huge pit. A large machine pressed down, turning the car into a tiny cube. His car alarm sounded.
“You… Why are you showing me this? Let me tell you, I’m not a scrapped car!” exclaimed Scrapped Car.
Fangzheng said, “It’s best you turn off the alarm. This is a car scrapyard. If you attract people here, bear the consequences yourself.”
Scrapped Car immediately turned off the alarm. He reduced the amount of thick smoke he emitted…
Fangzheng said, “Come, let’s watch the second video.”
Scrapped Car took a glance and saw the words: Dissection of Unknown Creatures and Aliens Unraveled.
Fangzheng sat by the side and said, “Humans are the rulers of the world, but there are many things they don’t understand. What if they don’t understand? They study it… How do they study it?”
Salted Fish immediately echoed, “Dissection.”
Lone Wolf added, “Does no one resist?”
Salted Fish smiled. “Those who resist are eradicated… However, a car that gains sentience would be considered as an unknown creature, right?”
Upon hearing that, Scrapped Car’s alarm almost went off again. “You’re the unknown creature! A fish who knows how to talk. It’s so strong and has such a bad temper!”
Salted Fish laughed out loud. “I’m an unknown creature, but I’m a monk of One Finger Monastery. I have some privileges in this world. No one dares to offend me! You’re different. You are just a scrapped car. You can be captured and dismantled to your components before they slowly study you. What can you do about it? Do you think you can resist with your crappy metal frame?”
The moment Scrapped Car heard that, his headlights lit up. “Aren’t monks of One Finger Monastery afraid of being dissected?”
Lone Wolf said, “Who would dare? One Finger Monastery’s monks are awesome!”
“Really? Then can I join One Finger Monastery as well? How do I join? Do I need to do an annual inspection?” Scrapped Car asked excitedly.
Lone Wolf and Salted Fish looked at Fangzheng at the same time. Scrapped Car was stunned as he looked at the bald monk in front of him. He exclaimed, “Don’t tell me it’s through you?”
“Amitabha. This Penniless Monk is One Finger Monastery’s abbot, Fangzheng!”
Scrapped Car gave a dry laugh and said, “Why do I feel like you’re lying to me? Do you really think I’m that easy to fool? Although I’ve only just gained sentience, my previous owner was a news fan. I play him the radio every day, and I know a lot of things! I’m smart!”
Fangzheng said, “Then you should have heard of the Internet, right?”
Scrapped Car said, “I’ve heard of it before. Why?”
Fangzheng took his cell phone and searched for Fangzheng… One Finger Monastery…
He was all over the news…
There were even people who helped Fangzheng and One Finger Monastery make special music videos…
After Scrapped Car finished watching, he asked, “Why are they making music videos to commemorate you? Are you dead? Am I dead too? Are we all dead? Are you still trying to trick me when I’m dead?”
Fangzheng raised his hand and gave the front of the car a slap. The car’s butt was lifted up as it nearly flipped over.
Only then did Scrapped Car realize that the monk was very violent! He was extremely ferocious!
Scrapped Car fell silent…
Fangzheng said, “Nonsense. This Penniless Monk is still alive, and so are you. As for why people think I’m dead, it’s a long story. Patron, although you have gained sentience through This Penniless Monk’s Spirit Awakening Talisman, you now possess a complete spirit and intelligence. You have your own autonomy. This Penniless Monk will not force you. Whether you are willing to follow This Penniless Monk is up to you. If you are willing, leave with This Penniless Monk. If you are unwilling, This Penniless Monk will take his leave.”
“Take your leave? You aren’t forcing me to follow you?” Scrapped Car asked in surprise.
Fangzheng smiled. “Everyone has their own choices. Why should This Penniless Monk force you? Patron, feel free.”
“Ah… Roar! Bye bye then!” Scrapped Car turned around and with a bang…
Cough, cough, cough…
Scrapped Car’s engine died…
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Salted Fish asked with a chuckle.
“I’m out of gasoline… Previously, there was still some remnant gasoline in the pump. Now, there’s nothing left. I can’t run anymore…” Scrapped Car said bitterly.
Fangzheng said, “Patron, This Penniless Monk can’t do anything about not having gasoline. However, This Penniless Monk can help you get someone over. Perhaps they will help you.”
“Thank you…”
“Salted Fish, they might help you, but they might also send you to be dissected.” Salted Fish chuckled.
Scrapped Car’s heart sank to rock bottom. Thinking back to the two videos he had just watched, and watching Fangzheng and company leave, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Wait!”
Fangzheng turned his head and asked, “Patron, do you have any questions?”
Scrapped Car said, “Then… May I join One Finger Monastery? What conditions do I need to meet to join One Finger Monastery? I might not pass the annual inspection.”
Fangzheng and company were immediately amused when they heard that.
Fangzheng said, “One Finger Monastery doesn’t need an annual inspection. Now that you have joined One Finger Monastery, you can only be a mount. As for officially joining One Finger Monastery, that will depend on your performance in the future. How about that? Do you want to join?”
Scrapped Car said with a bitter smile, “Do I have any other choice now? I don’t want to be dragged away and diced into pieces just after I gained sentience. However, I have a request!”
“What request?” Fangzheng asked out of curiosity.
Scrapped Car said, “I want to look for my original owner. Don’t worry, I’m only going to see him. I don’t have any other intentions.”
Fangzheng nodded. “Sure. Do you know where he is?”
Scrapped Car said, “I have some impression of him. If I drive on the road and take a familiar road, I will definitely recall. And I will be able to find him.”
