Chapter 172: The Drainage Channel Car God

Chapter 172: The Drainage Channel Car God

"Are you ready?"

Lin Qingshan asked confidently, looking at the people in the car.

Indeed, he had recently bought a car. After acquiring a powerful driving skill from the system called [Drainage Channel Car God (Platinum)], he decided to buy a car for himself.

The [Drainage Channel Car God (Platinum)] skill greatly improved driving stability and increased drift speed and success rate by 50% on roads with drainage channels. Given Lin Qingshan's previous experience as a seasoned driver, this new ability was too tempting to ignore.

To his surprise, the original owner of this body had a driver's license. This meant he didn't need to retake driving tests in this world. After renewing the license, Lin Qingshan bought a luxury car outright.

However, today he was driving a rented seven-seater SUV instead of his own vehicle. Since the signing event was not in Magic City, they needed to drive.

"Ready..."

Somehow, although Ito Ayumi and the others were not initially scared, Lin Qingshan's question made them inexplicably nervous.

Gu Qianli blinked. She wasn't worried about Lin Qingshan driving because she knew he wouldn't cause trouble. Yet now, she couldn't shake a feeling of unease.

"Great!"

Lin Qingshan nodded with satisfaction and immediately stepped on the gas!

"Ahhhh—!"

Instantly, except for Lin Qingshan, everyone in the high-speed machine screamed loudly!

On the highway, a driver was cruising along when suddenly a shadow shot out from the side—

The sudden appearance startled him, "What the heck!"

Looking ahead, he saw the shadow perform a perfect drift around a bend, speeding by swiftly.

Such a flawless arc!

Such speed!

And it was a seven-seater SUV?!

"Wow! Drift!"

The driver was astonished, "Which expert dares to play like this on the highway?"

Although the highway wasn't congested, performing such daring drifts without reducing speed was extremely reckless!

...

Lin Qingshan, seeing the highway was clear, decided to showcase his skills with a high-speed drift.

This thoroughly scared Gu Qianli and the others!

Drifting at 90 km/h was genuinely terrifying!

"Alright, we've arrived."

Lin Qingshan completed a perfect reverse drift and said to the others with satisfaction.

He was thrilled!

Although limited by the car's configuration and his desire to ensure safety, which meant he held back a bit to keep everything under control, he was still very satisfied.

Indeed, speed, passion, and being a mountain road god were every man's ultimate dream!

However, Natsuki wasn't among them!

"Sorry..."

Ito Ayumi covered her mouth and said indistinctly.

Then she quickly opened the car door... and vomited!

After a while, everyone managed to recover.

Seeing Ito Ayumi's pale face, Lin Qingshan felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry, Ayumi."

He said awkwardly.

"I'm fine..."

Ito Ayumi waved her hand quickly but still looked pale as she said, "Just... next time, let's take a car instead of you driving, teacher."

She was determined that in the future...

No, definitely not taking Lin Qingshan's car again!

However, they would probably still have to ride in Lin Qingshan's car on the way back...

Ito Ayumi felt a bit despairing.

"Is this Mr. Qingshan?"

At that moment, a voice came from the side. It was the staff organizing the signing event, who had been waiting there for a while.

They clearly knew Lin Qingshan's appearance and came over to ask.

"Yes, that's me."

Lin Qingshan responded.

Next came the work for the signing event. With his previous experience, Lin Qingshan was exceptionally relaxed this time.

The event wasn't held at a convention but in a large shopping mall. Due to the huge success of the "Edgerunners" anime, this signing event featured more cosplays of characters from "Edgerunners," with more professional cosplayers involved.

They saw several cosplayers as David with real abs and chest muscles, not just painted or costume muscles.

Even the cosplay of Adam Heavy Hammer was quite professional, standing at 1.9 meters tall. Although even with heightening pads, he couldn't match the real Adam Heavy Hammer, his costume and props were spot on.

This Adam Heavy Hammer cosplayer, along with those cosplaying David and Lucy, performed a "Fantasy Time" act.

Once Lin Qingshan arrived, the signing event was ready to begin.

The event started with the usual interview and interaction segment, similar to the previous signing event.

Lin Qingshan followed the planned script and completed this segment.

At the end, the host, following the pre-arranged schedule, asked with a smile, "Mr. Qingshan, do you have any other hobbies?"

[Translator: sauron]

"Hobbies?"

Lin Qingshan had prepared for this question. He said, "I'm actually very good at skipping stones. I can skip more than 20 stones in one go!"

The host was momentarily stunned by this answer.

However, the fans in the audience were clearly excited.

"20 skips!"

"Wow, really? Mr. Qingshan has this skill too?"

"I can only skip 17 stones at best. Mr. Qingshan says he can do 20?!"

"Is this for real? There's no place to show it now."

...

Lin Qingshan thought of something and said, "How about this, I'll record a video for everyone later! For now..."

"I'll give everyone a live demonstration!"

He went to the front of the stage and addressed the fans.

"Watch this! Ignore it!"

With a swift motion, Lin Qingshan performed a flawless backflip on the spot!

The smoothness of it was astonishing.

This wasn't a skill from the system but something Lin Qingshan could do himself.

His on-the-spot backflip stunned everyone present...

How did he suddenly do a backflip?

But, it was actually successful!

"Awesome!"

Someone shouted, and soon, all the fans in the audience erupted in applause...
