“In that case, This Penniless Monk can help you find him,” said Fangzheng.
“Thank you…”
“Jingzhi, find a chain.”
Salted Fish asked in puzzlement, “For what?”
Fangzheng said, “Tow the car. Why don’t we sell you for gasoline?”
Salted Fish grinned. “Forget it. China’s gasoline is the most expensive in the world. I can’t afford it. Speaking of which, Master, can you afford a car?”
Fangzheng was slightly taken aback before he realized bitterly that he really could not afford a car!
However, even if he left the car in the monastery, he couldn’t let it run around. If not, the car might really be torn apart and dissected.
Scrapped Car suddenly felt like it had been tricked… This monk looked very poor!
However, compared to starving, Scrapped Car decided to follow Fangzheng.
Salted Fish went to find a chain and had one end connected to Scrapped Car while Lone Wolf pulled from the other end. Thankfully, Scrapped Car let go of the brakes and they ran quite smoothly.
When they left the recycling junkyard, Fangzheng thought for a moment and left the money he had on him. After all, he had taken away the owner’s property, so he needed to show his gratitude.
Fangzheng wasn’t able to fork out any more money, but he had helped the repair factory settle a problem as compensation.
After leaving the car factory, Fangzheng opened the Scrapped Car’s door and sat in it. He was surprised that Scrapped Car’s interior was actually felt quite comfortable!
Normally, the interior of a car would be striped away at a car factory. They wouldn’t leave behind an engine either. Although Scrapped Car was quite broken down, it only looked damaged from the outside. It had everything inside.
The seats seemed to be made of black genuine leather. Although it lacked maintenance, it was very clean…
This reminded Fangzheng of his monastery. Back when the System renovated it, it was brand new. It even gave him quite a number of things.
It was the same for his phone. After the phone was blessed, it had many more functions…
Therefore, Fangzheng was not surprised by the changes in Scrapped Car. He credited it to the Spirit Awakening Talisman.
“Scrapped Car, what brand are you?” Fangzheng asked out of curiosity. He really didn’t know much about cars. Just by looking at his exterior and interior, he couldn’t recognize the car brand.
However, after careful inspection, Fangzheng realized that the front of the car was very long. The headlights were very large, and from the looks of it, it looked like a vintage car… However, such vintage cars were usually foreign brands. Furthermore, these cars were very valuable collections. It was impossible for them to be thrown into a junkyard.
“Dusenberg, have you heard of it?” Scrapped Car said arrogantly. He paused as though he was waiting for Fangzheng to exclaim in amazement.
Fangzheng shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.
Scrapped Car was speechless. “You’re really uncultured. When it comes to vintage cars, who can beat Dusenberg? I’m most vintage of vintage cars!”
Fangzheng took out his cell phone and searched. Indeed, it was an old brand, but it had long gone bankrupt.
The remaining stock had also become a most sought-after item at auctions. Therefore, Fangzheng did not believe Scrapped Car’s nonsense.
Fangzheng asked, “Don’t lie. It’s easy to be struck by lightning if you lie.”
When Scrapped Car heard this, it was instantly unhappy. “I’m lying? What a joke! I’m Dusenberg, the granddaddy of cars!”
Fangzheng sighed and shook his head to activate A Golden Millet Dream. The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck the side of the car…
“Holy sh*t! A bolt out of the blue!? What’s going on?” Scrapped Car cried out in fright.
Fangzheng said, “What do you think? Try lying again. The next bolt of lightning might strike the hood of your engine.”
Scrapped Car said, “Who are you trying to scare? I… I…”
“What brand is your car?”
Scrapped Car looked like he would continue to insist on his Dusenberg brand, but in the end, he said bitterly, “QQ…”
Fangzheng was taken aback. This… The difference was just too great.
Fangzheng said, “Don’t tease me. Although This Penniless Monk doesn’t know how cars, QQ cars don’t look like this, right?”
Scrapped Car sighed and said, “My original owner was a car fanatic, and he owns a maintenance factory. He always wanted to own a luxury car that he can call his own, and the best was Dusenberg. His family kept many models and posters of old Dusenberg’s car. Later, he personally modified me into a Dusenberg. All the components were imported. They were strictly manufctured according to the Dusenberg standards. Some that he couldn’t buy, he made them by hand…”
Fangzheng said, “China doesn’t seem to allow the modification of cars, right?”
Scrapped Car said, “Yes, I was usually placed in the courtyard for display.”
“And then?” Fangzheng asked curiously.
Scrapped Car said, “One day, he drank a lot of alcohol after getting agitated for some reason. He rambled a lot of nonsense before driving me out. I don’t know if he’s unlucky or if I was unlucky, but he accidentally slammed me into a wall… Then, the police came. I was totaled and sent here. I don’t know where he went either.”
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng finally understood why Scrapped Car which looked like a luxurious car would end up inside a junkyard. However, Fangzheng still asked out of curiosity, “How long ago did this happen?”
Scrapped Car thought for a while and said, “I don’t know. I think it’s been quite a while…”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. From the thick layer of rust on Scrapped Car’s metallic frame and the status of him being buried at the bottom of the pile, together with the principle of first-in, last out, this fellow definitely had been there for a period of time.
“Master, there’s a gas station in front.” At that moment, Salted Fish, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
Fangzheng hurriedly looked up when he heard that. Then, he widened his eyes and asked, “Where? Where? Where? Jingfa, run faster! I want to see it!”
Lone Wolf was taken aback as he looked up at the gas station’s sign that was less than fifty meters in front of him. He then looked at Fangzheng and mumbled. “When did Master become blind?”
Fangzheng shouted, “What are you looking at? Run! I want to see the gas station!”
Salted Fish said, “Master, isn’t that…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Fangzheng raised his hand and slapped him. “Don’t speak. If you miss the gas station, I’ll be blaming it on you?”
Salted Fish was instantly rendered speechless…
Salted Fish and Lone Wolf exchanged looks before looking at Fangzheng. They instantly understood that the darn baldy wasn’t really blind. He was selectively being blind!
Scrapped Car exclaimed, “Wait, isn’t this the gas station?”
Fangzheng widened his eyes as he looked at the roof of the car and asked, “Where? Where? Why don’t I see it?”
It would be weird if he could see it. Since he couldn’t see it, he wouldn’t be lying if he said that he couldn’t.
Scrapped Car: “It’s right by our side. I can smell the delicious smell of gasoline. There’s even a car there at the gas pump!”
Fangzheng said, “Is that so? Why don’t I see it? You must be hallucinating. Jingfa, accelerate and rush to the gas station!”
