I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1433 - 1432: The Arrogant Tricycle (First Update!)
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhou," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He sat down on the sofa, lit a Panda cigarette, took out his phone, checked the contact list, found the phone number of the president of Tianlong University, and dialed it.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
"This is Bai Youcai!" A voice full of authority came through the phone.
"This is Zhang Xiaohao!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Zhang Xiaohao? Do we know each other?" Bai Youcai asked puzzled.
"I’m the manager of the Public Relations Department of Bai Xue Company. Today, I want to discuss holding a recruitment event at your university on behalf of my company, aiming to recruit about a hundred people," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"The Bai Xue Company that deals in cosmetics?" Bai Youcai thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Mr. Zhang, is your company planning to hold a recruitment fair at our university?" Bai Youcai asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mr. Zhang, are you free this afternoon? If you have time, why not come to our university for a meeting; some things are hard to explain over the phone," Bai Youcai suggested.
"Alright! I’ll head over shortly," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
After hanging up, he put away his phone.
"Sir, the meal is ready," Sister Zhou said.
She laid out the dishes on the coffee table.
It was two dishes and a soup: braised chicken, braised lobster, tomato and egg soup, with some bread and milk.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Xiaohao wiped the oil from his mouth with a napkin.
"Sister Zhou, I have to go to Tianlong University. If I’m late coming back and Xue’er and the others ask, please tell them honestly," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Alright, sir," Sister Zhou replied.
With that, Zhang Xiaohao left the villa, walked on the wide tree-lined avenue, found an empty spot, and summoned the electric tricycle from the Shennong Ring at will.
"Hehe! A tricycle is still a vehicle, but with its current charge, it might not reach Tianlong University. Hmm, let’s give it an upgrade," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He took out a low-grade Spirit Stone, some wires, wound the wires around the stone, then opened the seat and connected the wires to the tricycle’s wiring.
All set.
Zhang Xiaohao formed a hand seal, changing in the air; symbols dropped from his palms, embedding into the low-grade Spirit Stone.
"Yin Yang Integration Array—activate!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted softly.
A flash of golden light appeared, and he put away his hand seal, beaming at the electric tricycle.
"Hmm, let’s test how it works for now," Zhang Xiaohao said satisfactorily.
He got on the tricycle, revved the throttle, and it roared forward.
In no time at all, it reached a hundred miles per hour.
"Not bad. It wasn’t a waste to use a low-grade Spirit Stone to upgrade you!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
If someone from the cultivation world saw this, they would definitely call him a wastrel: A low-grade Spirit Stone, if sold, would fetch at least ten million on the black market, perhaps even more—enough to buy a supercar. Yet he used it to upgrade an electric tricycle, even adding an array to it. Isn’t that squandering?
Half an hour later.
The electric tricycle was nearing the downtown area.
"Damn! Honey, what’s up with you? Got the runs? Your car worth over three million was just overtaken by an electric scooter?" Suddenly, as Zhang Xiaohao passed by a black sports car, a flamboyant woman inside complained.
"Dammit! I’m already at 110 mph, and it can still overtake me? Seriously? Is this even an electric tricycle? Is it a plane?" The young man was visibly annoyed.
"Yes! We’re already over 80 mph, and it still overtakes us. Could it really be an ordinary electric tricycle?" The flamboyant woman was shocked.
"Babe, hang on, and let your hubby overtake it! No matter how crazy a little electric tricycle is, it can’t be arrogant in front of a supercar. Watch me beat it easily!" The young man boasted proudly.
"Alright, honey, go for it! If you beat it, you can do anything tonight; if you lose, you’ll be kneeling on a washboard!" The flamboyant woman said.
"Hand me a Zhonghua to hype me up, honey. I’ll overtake it in no time!"
The flamboyant woman lit a Zhonghua cigarette for him.
"Hurry up, honey! That electric tricycle is about to disappear!" The flamboyant woman urged.
"Sit tight, baby. I’ll give you a thrilling ride!" The young man said, puffing on his cigarette smugly.
He took a deep drag, floored the pedal, and charged forward like a whirlwind.
A minute later.
The supercar finally caught up with the electric tricycle, and the young man opened the convertible top, whistling at Zhang Xiaohao.
"Nice one, buddy! You managed speed from an electric tricycle like a sports car! Imagine what you’d do with a supercar," the young man teased.
"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled proudly, lighting up a Panda cigarette.
"Want to race?" The young man challenged.
"How?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in return.
"Let’s bet a pack of smokes. We’ll race ten kilometers, no holding back! How about it?" the young man proposed.
"Alright! Let’s start!" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a grin.
"I’ll give you a three-second head start! Otherwise, one step on the pedal, and I’ll be far gone; you won’t catch up," the young man boasted gleefully.
"Is that so? Be careful then," Zhang Xiaohao chuckled.
He revved the throttle, and the tricycle zoomed forward.
"Wow, it’s pretty fast! Breaks 200 in seconds! But against my three-million-dollar supercar, it’s just a paper tiger," the young man said arrogantly.
Smoking and stepping on the pedal, the sports car roared and chased after Zhang Xiaohao.
"Hurry up, honey! Step on it!" The flamboyant woman urged anxiously.
They were ten meters behind Zhang Xiaohao’s tricycle but just couldn’t catch up.
"Babe, my foot hurts! But this car just won’t catch up. I’m out of ideas!" The young man said bitterly.
"Worthless! I told you to take it easy last night, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look at you, can’t even muster the strength to hit the gas! Let me handle it!" The flamboyant woman said irritably.
She kicked off her high heels and stomped down with her left foot.
Ten kilometers flew by.
Zhang Xiaohao’s tricycle kept ahead and reached the finish line first.
