Chapter 2425: Don’t You Need a Helmet When You Learn How To Drive?
The flying car’s driving mode was very different from that of a regular car. Mag found it difficult to get used to it, whether it was the range at which one turned the wheel or the acceleration of the vehicle.
Luckily, this vehicle had a tutorial mode and an anti-collision mode. Even so, Xi still had her helmet on when she got in the car.
“Isn’t there even basic trust between two people?” Mag said as he looked at Xi, who was wearing her helmet.
“Safety first,” Xi replied calmly.
“In that case, do you have an extra helmet?” Mag asked.
!!
Xi turned her head and looked at him seriously through her helmet screen and considered if she wanted to get out of the car.
“Just kidding. Sit tight. I’m starting the car.” Mag smiled. He pressed the start button on the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
The inertia from accelerating to over 1000 kilometers an hour within two seconds did not happen as he had expected. The flying car sped forward at 60km/h.
Mag: “…?”
“What’s wrong with the car?” Mag asked.
“To ensure the safety of the learner, the car’s speed is capped at 60km/h under the tutorial mode,” Xi replied calmly.

“This tutorial car is so boring.” Mag dissed. He thought he was really going to start practicing.
After all, it was his first time driving a flying car. It was very novel and compared to a regular car, there were more possibilities for maneuvering the flying car, which was suspended more than 100 meters above the ground.
After familiarizing himself with the car and mastering how to turn, ascend, and descend, Mag started driving the flying car at 60km/h around the magic beast mountain range, and he had fun chasing the magic beasts around.
A man’s happiness was just this simple!
Xi had already taken off her helmet. She looked at Mag with a complex gaze, as though she was looking at a freak.
This fellow had actually mastered the techniques of driving the flying car in less than an hour since he got into the car.
When she first learned it, she got scolded by her coach for half a month before she got her driving license.
Two hours later, Mag stopped the car above a dense piece of forest. He turned to look at Xi and said, “Now can I remove the tutorial mode?”
“Today’s tutorial has ended. You can go back to learn the Underground City language now,” Xi said expressionlessly.
“Can I drive this car away?” Mag tried to sound her out.
“This is my personal car.”
Mag laughed embarrassedly. That’s true. Xi did not look like the kind of woman who would drive a cute pink car. This wild-looking kind of car fitted her more as a ruthless sniper.
“I’m going to drop myself off at the city gate first, then.” Mag started the car and drove towards Chaos City.
The flying car stopped outside the city gates silently. Mag jumped off the car and smiled as he watched it disappear into the distance.
He felt as though he had suddenly transmigrated into a world of steampunk from a world of magic casters.
He was getting even more excited for the upcoming trip to the Underground City.
Back in the restaurant, after washing up, Mag went into the study room and activated the bangle. He received the language course package from Xi and started learning.
The language and writing system of the Underground City was completely different from that of the Norland Continent’s. However, Xi sent him the language and word recognition course package for toddlers. Other than the fact that the word recognition nursery rhymes were very addictive, the lessons were very easy to understand.
After two hours, Mag closed the cartoon word recognition video and opened the window as he pondered over why, with his demi-god memory, he had to learn words by watching nursery rhyme videos.
“Can you send me some videos for adults?” Mag sent Xi a message through the bangle.
Around 10 minutes later, Mag received a reply.
“I don’t watch those kinds of videos.”
Mag: “…?”

Mag spent the entire night watching toddler word recognition videos and mastered the language and words of the Underground City at the toddler level.
Mag felt the need to explain the message he sent over last night when he went to Xi’s place for the foreign language class today. At the same time, he wanted to ask Xi for the learning materials for adult language learners.

“It seems like he will adapt very quickly to life in the Underground City.”
In his office, Ferdinand deleted Xi’s report and continued reading the morning papers.
When he saw the headline of ‘Case of Missing Congressman Tamm’, he paused for a while before tapping in to read the latest updates.
“The perpetrator has yet to be found. No one had yet to step forward to admit the planning of this incident. However, what can be said with certainty, was that Congressman Tamm was still alive when he disappeared, and the matter…”
Ferdinand looked at the photograph in the report. It was a photograph of a tall and skinny middle-aged man. He was wearing rimless spectacles and was bent over as he stepped into his flying car. This was the last image of Congressman Tamm before he went missing.
Ferdinand was pretty fond of this citizen congressman. They had met unofficially on several occasions and had also shared many common beliefs, including limiting the plutocrat’s special rights.
Due to the negative incident that happened previously, Ferdinand had especially enforced Congressman Tamm’s security but he still went missing on his way to a meeting.
The abductor was very professional. There was no other valuable evidence left at the scene other than the bodyguards’ corpses.
This incident caused an uproar on the internet. Congressman Tamm was a very popular congressman among the citizens and was very well-loved. After he went missing, there had been many demonstrations happening in the different states.
Abducting a congressman at Tuck City was a highly-arrogant move.
Ferdinand was very certain that this was related to the bill that Tamm was about to suggest at the meeting.
Before he set off, Tamm sent Ferdinand a message saying that he was already ready to be assassinated after walking out of the meeting venue.
However, no one expected that he would be abducted even before he reached the meeting.
“Congressman Tamm better be alright. Otherwise…” Ferdinand stared at the words ‘McCarthy Family’ that he had circled in red coldly.
This was the eighth case of a missing person in the past year. Congressman Tamm was not the first and he would not be the last.

Mag brought Xi a helping of red braised pork when he went for the driving class at night.
He would soon be allowed to drive once he satisfies his driving coach.
As he watched Xi bury her head in her rice, Mag went over to her with a stool and said, “Don’t misunderstand the message I sent you last night.”
Xi paused. She recalled the message Mag sent her late at night and felt embarrassed. However, she maintained her calm and aloof expression as she said, “I’ve said it before. I don’t watch that kind of thing.”
“I already said that it’s not that kind of thing!” Mag felt like he was getting even more misunderstood. This lass looked pretty normal but what is in that brain of hers?
“What I mean is the learning videos for adults. You only sent me word recognition nursery rhymes. I’m about to explode from listening to those,” Mag said as he looked at Xi sincerely.
Xi froze and looked at Mag. She blushed.
Gosh!
The videos for adults he was referring to were actually proper learning videos?!
