Chapter 1737: Li Wanhua
"Li Wanhua!"
In the Chengtian Domain, inside an old auto repair shop.
Li Shangfeng wiped the sweat from his face with a dirty towel and shouted toward the outside of the workshop.
Occasionally, pedestrians passing by the workshop entrance would glance inside curiously before continuing on their way. Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Li Shangfeng took a deep breath and shouted a few more times at the top of his lungs.
"Stop shouting so loud! Are you trying to die or something?!!"
A girl in a school uniform walked in from outside, looking annoyed.
Li Shangfeng grinned, his hands holding a heavy, gear-like object, unable to pull away. He could only gesture toward a certain spot with his eyes, "Help your brother get that axle part on the third shelf, hurry up."
"I’m telling you, Li Shangfeng, I still have homework to do! If you need someone to help you work, why don't you hire an assistant?!"
Li Wanhua pouted in dissatisfaction, but still walked obediently to the shelf, rummaged through it skillfully, and tossed a part to Li Shangfeng.
"With our family’s situation, how could we afford an assistant... Just make do with it." Li Shangfeng hooked his toe, flipped the part up, caught it steadily in his mouth, and forced it into the huge gear in his hands.
Li Wanhua walked over to Li Shangfeng with her hands behind her back, examining the object in his hands, and said with disdain:
"Which trash heap did you pick this thing up from? It’s so ugly."
"Shh..." Li Shangfeng looked around, chuckled softly, and lowered his voice, "Do you know where this thing is installed?"
"Where?"
"The Domain Train!"
"?" Li Wanhua was shocked, "Li Shangfeng! You dare to chisel parts from the Domain Train?! If you’re looking for death, don't drag me into it! I’m going to sever our sibling relationship right now..."
"Pah, what are you talking about? This was sent over by the Taishi Division for me to repair."
"Taishi Division? They manage train repairs?" Li Wanhua asked suspiciously, "What about those skilled craftsmen? Why aren't they repairing it?"
"Hmph, such a tricky problem, I suppose they couldn't solve it either," Li Shangfeng waved his hand, "In the entire Chengtian Domain, when it comes to axle connections this precise, who else can do it better than me?"
Seeing that Li Wanhua remained skeptical, Li Shangfeng added:
"In any case, the quote from the Taishi Division isn't low. Once your brother fixes this, I can take you out to buy two nice outfits, hehe..."
"Who wants your clothes? If you order me around again, I’ll sever our sibling relationship!"
Li Wanhua glared at him fiercely, then swung her long, dark hair and walked out the door, "Going to do my homework! Bye!"
Li Shangfeng smiled helplessly and continued to tinker with the part in his hands.
Time passed minute by minute.
The sunset of dusk passed through the gate and spilled onto the concrete floor of the workshop.
At the same time, a figure in a brown coat, carrying a low-key briefcase, arrived at the workshop entrance.
He looked up at the address on the workshop door, confirmed it was correct, and then walked inside while looking around... Li Shangfeng, who was buried in his work, noticed someone had arrived and immediately stood up.
"Hello, are you here to repair a car?"
"It’s no exaggeration to say that we are the... best auto repair shop in the East District of the Chengtian Domain. No matter what kind of car you want to modify, I can modify it all!"
"Today is our one-year anniversary, place an order now and get 20% off!!"
Li Shangfeng’s face was full of smiles as he spoke eagerly.
The figure in brown examined him carefully for a few moments, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth:
"At such a young age, you’re running an auto repair shop all by yourself?"
"What’s wrong with being young?" Li Shangfeng said righteously, "I told you, don't believe me if you don't want to, but I really am a genius in this area. You know the Taishi Division? They have to come to me when they run into trouble now!"
"Wow."
The figure in brown sighed in cooperation.
"..." For some reason, Li Shangfeng felt a bit annoyed by this man.
"Are you here to repair a car or not?" Li Shangfeng looked outside the workshop, "Where’s your car?"
"The car is in the garage, I haven't driven it over yet. I’ll just take a look around first."
The figure in brown began to pace around the garage.
Li Shangfeng’s eyes widened, knowing it was likely a poor man pretending to be a rich guy. He was just about to kick him out when the figure in brown reached back and stuffed a gold bar into his arms:
"This is the deposit for the repair. See if there’s any problem."
Li Shangfeng stood frozen on the spot.
He looked at the substantial gold bar in his hand, and it took a full ten seconds for him to recover. He had grown up never seeing such a large piece of gold, and his gaze toward the figure in brown was filled with shock!
"This... this... this is a bit too much... If it’s just a car repair, it won't cost this much..."
"I have a fleet of cars."
The figure in brown replied faintly.
Li Shangfeng: ...
"Now, can I walk around freely?" the figure in brown asked.
"Yes, of course, please feel free!"
Li Shangfeng realized that he had truly encountered a big shot this time. The boy’s excitement couldn't be hidden; he was so happy he could jump, wanting to immediately hold this gold bar and go show off to Li Wanhua.
And as long as he served this big shot well, the future maintenance and care of that fleet of cars would all be his!
This was a long-term gold mine!
Just as Li Shangfeng was overjoyed, the figure in brown was walking leisurely around the workshop with his hands behind his back.
This figure in brown was none other than Chen Ling after activating [No-Form].
While in the Ancient Treasury of the Drama Path, Chen Ling had found Liu Qingyan through a thought storm and asked her to help check Li Wanhua’s location... In fact, Liu Qingyan didn't need to check deliberately. She had locked onto the home address of Li Shangfeng, a former member, years ago, and naturally included his sister Li Wanhua in her monitoring scope.
"Strange..."
"Why does it feel like the temperature suddenly dropped?"
Li Shangfeng, who was halfway through his excitement, felt the surroundings getting colder and colder. He rubbed his two exposed arms and looked suspiciously at the gate.
Outside the gate was still the quiet dusk. There was no cold front, no wind or rain. The glow of the setting sun shone on him, as if plating him in a layer of pale gold.
"Has my resistance gotten worse?" Seeing this, Li Shangfeng could only mutter to himself.
Not far away,
Chen Ling heard this and couldn't help but curl his lips upward.
His ruby-like eyes looked leisurely toward Li Shangfeng’s position... In the reflection of his eyes, a vast crowd of figures had already surrounded Li Shangfeng tightly.
"Is this for real? Is this Heart 9??"
"Wow!! Heart 9 as a child is too cute, right?!!"
"Wuwuwu, Little 9, come here and let big sister give you a hug~~"
"Opening such a big auto repair shop at such a young age, tsk, worthy of being a genius of the Craft Divine Path."
"Why does he sound so cocky when he talks now? Was this guy like this since he was a kid? No wonder he’s like a mad dog when he grows up..."
"Such a cute little Heart, he’d definitely be cute if he got scared, right? Hehe..."
