As soon as he entered the workshop, Yuan Qi's attention was deeply attracted by some strange phenomenon in the air.
Under the illumination of the lights, there were floating strands of gold threads, whose diameter was no more than one-tenth of a hair.
Occasionally, some extremely thin and almost transparent gold foil could be seen floating in the wind, turning the modification workshop into a dream-like ocean.
"This is..."
The gold threads and gold foil danced around Yuan Qi as if they were living spirits.
He couldn't help but reach out to grab them, but the gold threads and gold foil were too light, too soft, like a breeze, like running water, quietly slipping through his fingers, leaving only a touch of glossy grease.
Before this, Yuan Qi had never known that the touch of metal could be so wonderful.
As for the ALKAID lying quietly on the modification rack...
Yuan Qi kept blinking. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
If Li Yao had modified the ALKAID beyond recognition, added seventeen or eighteen stabilizing fins, and added several sets of glittering aerodynamic parts, and even changed all the anti-gravity array glyphs, he wouldn't have been so confused.
The experts he had hired before had all been modified in this way.
However, the ALKAID modified by Li Yao was almost exactly the same as yesterday. At first glance, there was no change at all.
Calming himself down and pondering carefully, there was a subtle difference that could only be sensed but not explained in words.
As the light and shadow flashed, the ALKAID became sharper, fiercer, and filled with an irresistible killing intent.
After pondering for a long time, Yuan Qi finally knew how to describe his feelings.
It was like, in the past, what he had seen were the copied works of students, but today, what he saw was a painting by a master himself. Although each stroke was almost the same, when they were combined, the difference was like heaven and earth!
It was also like, in the past, what he had seen were demon beasts locked in cages, with restrictions imposed on them.
But at this moment, he had encountered a demon beast on a narrow path in the wilderness, and that demon beast could unscrupulously release the aura from the deepest part of its bone marrow!
Essence! Qi! Spirit!
At this moment, the ALKAID had spirit, and soul!
"Grandmaster Fang, what is going on …"
Yuan Qi's heart was in turmoil. He watched for a long time as if he was intoxicated. Only then did he notice Li Yao, who had been meditating in the dark. Seeing that Li Yao was motionless like a stone Buddha, Yuan Qi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
This time, he called Li Yao "Master Fang" sounded completely different from yesterday. He also had the same "essence, qi, and spirit". He really regarded Li Yao as a super expert, a master.
"Shh …"
In the darkness, Li Yao's eyes sparkled as he placed his finger on his lips.
At this moment, not only did Yuan Qi not dare to speak, Boss Sun and the other maintenance technicians did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and strode to the ALKAID.
First, he gently stroked the left side of the car. Then, a cold light flashed between his fingers, and an extremely thin white blade appeared.
The blade was only the size of a fingernail. It was refined by Li Yao from a fragment of the tailbone of the mutant lion dragon. It was extremely hard and flexible, and it also carried a trace of vitality. It could be connected to one's blood, making it perfect for sculpting delicate magical equipment components.
Li Yao didn't hesitate. White brilliance flowed crazily like a bolt of lightning jumping between his fingers. He quickly stroked the car, and a golden thread thinner than a hair was immediately pulled out.
Yuan Qi gasped in astonishment.
It was not until then that he realized that all the gold threads and gold foil flying in the workshop had been polished by Li Yao from the shells of the cars by hand.
No wonder the ALKAID seemed to have spirit, qi, and soul all of a sudden, even though it didn't seem to have any changes. Besides …
After being pulled by Li Yao, the thin golden thread that was pulled out was like the finishing touch. The ALKAID suddenly came to life and turned into a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and lunging at Yuan Qi.
"Ahhh!"
Yuan Qi couldn't help but take a step back.
When he took a closer look, he found that the ALKAID was still where it was, except that it was emitting an air of anxiety.
It was like a restless horse that was eager to charge on the battlefield, waiting for him to conquer and tame it!
Li Yao snapped his fingers, and the lightning turned back into a white bone blade. He flicked his fingers again, and the bone blade disappeared.
He blew on the ALKAID softly and narrowed his eyes, sensing every change in the air flowing over the surface of the super shuttle.
Ten seconds later, Li Yao nodded his head in satisfaction and asked casually,
He asked casually, "Is your heart okay?"
"Huh?"
Yuan Qi was dazed. He shook his head and said, "No."
"Then go and fly!"
Li Yao patted his shoulder and smiled.
…
The Aurora Autos was in an uproar!
This deafening, blood-boiling morning was destined to belong to Yuan Qi and the ALKAID!
In the amateur super shuttle racing circle of Serpent City, Yuan Qi was one of the best. He had a bunch of friends who were also passionate about super shuttle racing.
After he got the brand-new ALKAID, he couldn't wait to call his friends and gather them in the Aurora Autos.
One by one, they were slaughtered, slaughtered, and tortured!
"What kind of strengthening drug did Yuan Qi take to make him so strong overnight?"
"Are you kidding me? Gao Rong was forced to hit the wall by him again!"
"Wow, his time is 3: 49.31, which is 12 seconds faster than his own best time. 12 seconds!"
The top experts in the amateur super shuttle racing circle were all defeated one after another before they had the chance to scream in front of Yuan Qi's marvelous performance, as if he had been possessed by a devil.
The competition between amateurs was greatly influenced by their mentality. The more Yuan Qi raced, the more excited and relaxed he became. His body seemed to have turned into a drop of water and melted into the ALKAID. The difficult movements that he had never dared to imagine were all performed smoothly, which raised exclamations again.
"No way! He did four Rattlesnake Rolls in a row!"
"Gosh, he kept accelerating when he was in a vertical dive and didn't make a right angle turn until he was only three meters away from the ground. The demands for both the driver and the super shuttle driver are astounding. This is a movement that only a professional can perform!"
Everyone, including the staff of the Aurora Autos, was shocked by Yuan Qi's crazy performance.
Such a crazy performance was definitely not something that could be explained by his excellent state. Finally, many people remembered that Yuan Qi had said that his ALKAID had been professionally modified by a super expert.
In the beginning, no one paid much attention to it.
As amateurs, although they could see that the ALKAID was different from usual, they couldn't tell what had changed. It was just a regular super shuttle.
Compared with their strengthened versions that had been modified beyond recognition, the ALKAID was "shabby".
It wasn't until this shabby ALKAID blew up their strengthened super shuttles that they remembered the "Master Fang" that Yuan Qi had mentioned.
"Was Yuan Qi really lucky enough to meet a super shuttle modification master?"
While many super shuttle fans were puzzled inside the Aurora Autos, Li Yao was sitting quietly outside the metal bird nest.
His eyes were half closed, while he listened to the roars inside the bird nest as if he were enjoying the music. He was thinking about his future plans.
Modifying super shuttles was just a hobby.
His main focus was on the refinement of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and the construction of the Fiend Star Refining Workshop.
Of course, before that, he had to discuss the Demon Beast Detector with Qiu Guanyu, the 'Shark' of the Zephyr Guild.
And all of this required a generous amount of start-up funds.
After learning the price of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the price of Yuan Qi's decryption, Li Yao realized that Cultivation was really a money-burning business.
No wonder most Cultivators stayed in the Refinement Stage for their whole life. The more they earned, the more they spent.
"What can I do to make a large sum of money quickly?"
Li Yao scratched his chin and pondered.
To get rich, the fastest way to make money in Serpent City was undoubtedly gambling.
There were seven super casinos in Serpent City that catered to Cultivators. Tens of billions of yuan could be earned in a minute!
However, Li Yao knew himself well.
He had sharp eyes, fast hands, and the 'Thousand Fingers Supple Bone Art' that he had been practicing day and night was an ancient art of theft, which made him a natural candidate for gambling.
But he was just an insignificant Refinement Stage Cultivator after all.
The big casinos in Serpent City must be guarded by Building Foundation Stage or even Core Formation Stage Cultivators. A half-baked expert like him would be the first one to die if he went into gambling.
"Maybe I should modify a few super shuttles for Yuan Qi's friends and make some money?"
The idea only flashed in his mind for a moment before it was rejected.
He was well aware that the value of modifying a super shuttle was nothing compared to the value of Yuan Qi's decryption of the super shuttle.
Yuan Qi was crazy about cars. That was why he proposed such a condition.
In the market, modifying a super shuttle for amateurs would only cost a few million at most.
Besides, modifying a super shuttle was very tiring, too.
Yesterday, he didn't make any major changes to the internal structure of ALKAID. All he did was to optimize the outer shell, which made him feel exhausted.
If he really put his mind to it, he wouldn't be able to modify more than a few super shuttles in a week.
It was too slow for him to make money like this.
He didn't have much time to waste in Serpent City. Everything had to be finished in three days.
While he was having a headache, Yuan Qi swung his arms and staggered to him like a monkey riding on a cloud.
Many people were following behind him. They were all staring at Li Yao hungrily.
"Are you done?"
Li Yao stood up.
"Wait a moment, Master Fang. Do me a favor. I want to challenge the Hell Storm Racetrack!"
Yuan Qi's shout made everyone present gasp, revealing a mixture of astonishment and excitement.
Li Yao could tell from their expressions that the Hell Storm Racetrack was unusual. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Qi in confusion.
Yuan Qi was full of confidence after his consecutive victories. He rubbed his hands and said,
"The Hell Storm Racetrack is the most difficult, dangerous, and unpredictable racetrack in the Aurora Racing Circuit. Nine out of ten racers can't even finish one lap in a normal way. The current best result on the racetrack is 11: 47.35!"
"In order to attract more experts to challenge the racetrack, the Aurora Autos has offered a reward.
"As long as someone can break the best result, the Aurora Autos will pay him one million for every 0.1 second improvement.
"One second improvement is ten million!"
