Chapter 525 New car, new gameplay
On the 20th, Xu Youyu passed the third subject and rushed home without stopping, taking Li Luo to the 4S store to look at cars.
But Li Luo thinks it would be better to wait until he gets his driver's license, so that Xu Youyu can test drive the car directly in the store. After he has tried it himself, he can compare which car is suitable for him.
Xu Youyu felt that what Li Luo said made sense, so the next day, he passed the fourth subject test and got his driver's license on the spot.
"Did you see it? Did you see it?" After Xu Youyu returned home at noon, he proudly held up his driver's license, shook it in front of Li Luo, and said with his hands on his waist, "Now I am the only adult in our family who has a driver's license!"
"Doesn't Uncle Xu know how to drive?"
"I'm talking about our home! Our home!" Xu Youyu pointed his finger at the floor, then at the ceiling, and finally hit Li Luo's forehead hard, "Idiot!"
Li Luo sat on the sofa, pretending to be knocked down by a bullet, and fell on the sofa with a bang.
Xu Youyu was amused by him, and even squatted down pretentiously, stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and touched his heart: "Are you okay? Do you want artificial respiration?"
"Whose good person needs artificial respiration after being shot?" Li Luo opened his eyes and complained speechlessly.
"That's my one-finger Zen." Xu Youyu laughed, "You're suffering from internal injuries now, let me take a good look at you."
After saying that, she started to make moves.
Just at this moment, Cui Suling just came out of the kitchen and put the dishes on the dining table, and saw two people fighting on the sofa.
Li Luo also noticed Aunt Cui and quickly got up from the sofa to avoid Xu Youyu's dirty hands.
"It's time for dinner." Cui Suling said, "Youyu, go call Xixi and Zhusheng."
"I know~"
Today is Sunday and their seven-member study group is on holiday, so Zhao Rongjun and the other three are not here.
Oh, no, since Xu Youyu finished the college entrance examination, they should be called the six-person study group.
In order to complete the selection examinations for the three minor subjects in October this year, Zhao Rongjun and the other two are working at full capacity and are participating seriously in every study group activity.
In comparison, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were much more relaxed. With 100 points in three minor subjects, they only needed to help Zhao Rongjun and others solve difficult problems and fill in the gaps, while finishing their own review of Chinese, math and English.
As for Yan Zhusheng, although her scores in the three minor subjects were less than 300, as she was planning to become a music student, she had no plans to take the second selection exam.
Just concentrate on preparing for the provincial unified examination at the end of the year and the entrance examinations of major universities next year.
Xu Youyu called Ying Chanxi, who was still reading in his bedroom, and Yan Zhusheng, who was practicing singing and playing the piano in the piano room, out for dinner.
Lin Xiuhong also came out from the kitchen with the remaining dishes and invited Li Luo and others to the table.
At the dinner table, Xu Youyu mentioned buying a car again.
Cui Suling had heard about this matter before, and since Xu Rongsheng agreed, she had no objection. She just asked Li Luo to take a closer look and give some advice to ensure that Xu Youyu would not be cheated.
So around one o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch, Xu Youyu couldn't wait to pull Li Luo out of the house and rushed to a nearby 4S store.
"My budget is between 40 and 50. I want a bigger car, similar to the one your father drives." After Xu Youyu pulled Li Luo into a taxi, he talked to him about this.
Li Luo had looked into this before, so he nodded and said, "Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, or BMW X3, take a look at these three models first, the prices are all right."
"Great~" Xu Youyu's face was full of anticipation. He couldn't help but sway from side to side while sitting in the back seat, humming a little tune, and didn't forget to show off to Li Luo, "Are you envious? I've already got my driver's license, but I don't know when I can drive."
"I will be an adult by the end of the year, so it will be pretty quick to get a driver's license." Li Luo laughed and said, "I will definitely get it done before New Year's Eve."
"Are you sure?" Xu Youyu snorted twice. "You can finish the exam in just over a month on New Year's Eve this year? It took me two months to finish it."
Xu Youyu finished the college entrance examination on June 6th, and started the driver's license test on the 8th.
Although I spent more than a week traveling in Yuzhong City, it still took me more than two months to get the driver's license.
But for Li Luo, with his current ability, he could finish the exams for Subject One and Subject Four quickly even without using the Memory Palace, let alone the existence of such a thing as the Memory Palace.
You can memorize the knowledge points at a glance and pass the exam in one day.
As for subjects two and three, since he knew how to drive in his previous life, he simply reviewed them in his memory palace and mastered them easily.
The only thing that limits him is the time interval between registration for each subject.
If he could use his connections to get in through the back door, Li Luo might be able to pass the driver's license test in just one day.
By this calculation, he only has more than four months left before he gets his driver's license.
"Want to make a bet?" Li Luo narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Excluding the time for registration and waiting, I passed all the subjects from subject one to subject four on the first day."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him and knocked on his head. "Safety comes first, don't you know? I won't make such a bet with you."
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then he felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't expect Xu Youyu would care about him because of such details.
"By the way." Xu Youyu finished the above topic. Seeing that they were still a long way from the 4S store, he said to Li Luo, "I have almost finished preparing my new book. I am thinking about when to start writing."
Li Luo had already read the first version of the opening written by Xu Youyu.
To be honest, the pace of the book "Gu Dao Changqing" in my previous life was indeed a bit slow at the beginning.
But this is also Xu Youyu's own writing style. Li Luo did not intend to interfere too much. He just made some appropriate suggestions, and tried to make her opening content more eye-catching while starting with a slow pace.
However, it is only the end of August, and Xu Youyu will soon start school and participate in military training at Qianjiang University. If he starts a new book now, it may affect his writing status during the new book period.
So Li Luo said, "Didn't you say that you can start reading after the military training?"
"It's mainly because my hands are itching and I can't hold it back." Xu Youyu rubbed his hands expectantly. "And I think the concept of spiritual energy revival you mentioned is quite novel. I think the sooner it happens, the better. At least I can get a taste of the first soup."
"Why is there such a rush?" Li Luo shook his head. "The first person to post is not the one who gets to drink the first soup. The first person to write about this topic and achieve results is the first person to be considered the first."
Before Chen Dong’s book “The Sacred Ruins” came out, “Gu Dao Changqing” had already been published in the previous life.
Before "Gu Dao Chang Qing", there may have been books with similar themes.
But when the concept of spiritual revival is mentioned in later generations, most people’s first reaction is the book "Sacred Ruins".
Then there are some other popular books.
As for who came up with this concept? Which work was the first to write about this subject?
No one will particularly care about this.
What online literature lacks the least is imagination and gimmicks, and the most important thing is to write a good story.
"I received the admission letter before," Xu Youyu said, "and then I joined the QQ group for this year's freshmen of the College of Arts, and asked my dad for the WeChat of my counselor."
"Then what?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows.
"Then I asked if there were any ways to slack off during military training." Xu Youyu smiled and winked at Li Luo, "There are similar slacking positions in the university military training."
"During military training at the No. 1 Middle School, the squad leader had to attend meetings occasionally, so he didn't have to stand at attention with the rest of the group."
"There is a temporary organization called the Political Work Group during the military training at the university, and freshmen are required to participate in it and be responsible for some propaganda and organizational activities."
After hearing what she said, Li Luo naturally knew what this guy was planning.
"So you plan to sign up for this political work group?"
"Hmm~" Xu Youyu smiled complacently, "People in the political work group only need to participate in half a day of military training every day, and the rest of the time they have to help with the work assigned by the political work group, such as copywriting, publicity, photography, etc."
"I have already asked my class assistant and established a relationship with the counselor in advance."
"When the time comes, sign up for the political work group, and it'll be a done deal."
Seeing Xu Youyu patting his chest with a smug look on his face, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh.
But he still said: "With your physical strength, even if you only participate in half a day of military training every day, it will be enough for you to bear."
"So don't worry about the new book. Let's talk about it after the military training is over."
"During the military training, you should just attend the training honestly. It's okay for the political work group to join you. The intensity of half a day's training is about right for you."
"Okay." After hearing what he said, Xu Youyu nodded and agreed, no longer in a hurry.
When the taxi arrived at the 4S store, the two people began to look at cars under the guidance of the shopping guide.
Because Li Luo had bought a million-level Mercedes-Benz SUV before, and the shopping guide who brought him was the same one as last time, so there was no scene of looking down on young people.
After a test drive at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, Li Luo took Xu Youyu to other 4S stores to test drive the BMW X3 and Audi Q5.
Among them, Xu Youyu felt that the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLC was not very pleasing to the eye. She thought the Audi Q5 was quite good-looking, but the interior was too ugly and did not conform to her aesthetic taste.
So in the end they chose the BMW X3, which happened to be in stock. Xu Youyu was too lazy to look at it any more, so he signed the contract and paid the full amount without hesitation.
The people at the 4S store also greeted him with a smile, and served him at his beck and call, satisfying Xu Youyu's needs throughout the whole process.
According to Xu Youyu's idea, he also added a Romanee red color-changing film and got a red BMW X3.
It fits Xu Youyu's temperament very well.
After signing the contract and paying the full amount on the 21st, Xu Youyu received the car pick-up notice on the 23rd, and immediately took Li Luo to the 4S store again.
When he saw his beloved car with his own eyes, Xu Youyu excitedly walked around the car several times, and was reluctant to touch the paint.
Li Luo stood aside and watched with a smile, his arms folded across his chest as he waited for Xu Youyu to test drive the car.
After the guide had explained all the precautions, Xu Youyu finally opened the car door and waved to Li Luo: "Get in!"
Li Luo, who was standing by, accepted the car owner's invitation, got in through the passenger door, sat in the passenger seat, and reached out to fasten his seat belt.
But at this time, Xu Youyu, who had just got into the driver's seat, leaned over to stop him, then laughed and crossed the middle partition, personally pulled out the seat belt for Li Luo and fastened it.
Halfway through, Li Luo only felt the right side of Xu Youyu's chest being squeezed and deformed in front of him, and a faint fragrance seemed ambiguous in the small space.
When Xu Youyu fastened the safety belt for him, Li Luo saw her clapping her hands, nodding with satisfaction and saying, "I've wanted to try it for a long time, but it feels so tiring. I almost didn't touch it."
"Have you watched too many dramas about overbearing CEOs?" Li Luo complained helplessly.
"Hmph, woman, stop talking." Xu Youyu put on a poker face and said seriously, "From now on, I will only allow you to sit in the passenger seat of this car."
"It looks like you are seriously ill." Li Luo reached out and touched Xu Youyu's forehead. "Looking at your symptoms, I have to consider whether I should ride in your car or not."
"It's just for fun." Xu Youyu immediately returned to normal, rolled his eyes at him, then started the car, rubbed his hands, and got on the steering wheel.
Fortunately, Xu Youyu's scores for subjects two and three were spotless, so he had no problem driving.
After simply driving the car out of the 4S store, Xu Youyu took Li Luo and drove towards Bihai Lanting.
However, she took a detour along the way, deliberately passing through several more intersections, and had a great time. After more than 20 minutes, she successfully returned to Bi Hai Lan Ting.
But after parking the car, Xu Youyu had no intention of getting out.
Li Luo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and saw Xu Youyu still sitting in the car after turning off the engine, so he asked with a smile: "Are you reluctant to leave? It's not like you won't drive after you get out of the car."
"That's not that exaggerated." Xu Youyu touched the leather texture on the steering wheel, then unbuckled his seat belt and turned his gaze to Li Luo, "I just suddenly thought of something fun."
"What's so fun?"
"For example..." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "You know there's a button on the right side of your seat? That can adjust the angle of the seat back."
"I know." Li Luo's right hand touched the button, and the next second, the backrest of his seat began to fall back.
"How low can this be adjusted?" Xu Youyu asked after taking a look.
Upon hearing this, Li Luo tried it out, leaning the chair back all the way down until the end of the chair back touched the back seat.
"It's quite comfortable." Li Luo lay down and tried it.
The next second, Xu Youyu crawled over from the driver's seat and sat astride Li Luo.
"……What are you doing?"
"Don't you think it's exciting?" Xu Youyu blinked and leaned over. "I haven't put reflective film on my car window yet. If you get close to me, you can see inside."
"Then you still... um..."
