Chapter 14: This Kid Is a Treasure!

"Ding-dong! Please make your choice~"

A crisp system notification rang out, and three brand-new options appeared before Qin Yuan!

"1. Obtain World-Class Jeep Driving Skills!"
"2. Obtain World-Class Jeep Design Skills!"
"3. Obtain World-Class Jeep Manufacturing Skills!"

Three options! Three completely different abilities!

"Holy cow! This is insane! Not only Jeep driving skills, but also Jeep design and manufacturing?" Qin Yuan’s eyes lit up as he stared at the options.

Jeep driving! Jeep design! Jeep manufacturing!

"Driving skills are one thing, but Jeep design and manufacturing involve the military-industrial sector! This is a massive, incredibly precious treasure! A super-fortune!"

Everything produced by the system, even at the world-class level, was considered top-tier globally! Furthermore, Qin Yuan could potentially upgrade these skills to the supreme cosmic level.

"If—if I could manufacture a cosmic-class Jeep, its performance would absolutely crush every other Jeep in existence! It could even monopolize the military Jeep market worldwide!"

Facing such a vast fortune, Qin Yuan was tempted. As the saying goes, the world bustles for profit, and the world moves for gain. Faced with endless wealth, Qin Yuan was no exception. After all, who would complain about having too much money?

"Of course, the top priority right now is to learn how to drive!"

Qin Yuan smiled and, with a thought, instantly retrieved the Jeep and placed it back where it had been. The system moved the vehicle so gently that not a sound was made, as if it had never been touched. No matter how shrewd Fan Tianlei was, he would never be able to tell that anything had happened to the Jeep.

"I choose 1!" Qin Yuan made his decision instantly.

"Ding-dong~ Congratulations to the host for a successful selection! You have obtained World-Class Jeep Driving!"

"World-Class Jeep Driving: Grants the host all skills required to drive a Jeep at a world-class level. This includes, but is not limited to, tail-flicking, drifting, jumping, and all other special maneuvers!"

In an instant, Qin Yuan’s mind was flooded with a multitude of Jeep driving techniques. After a moment, he finished absorbing the information and was left dumbfounded.

"I never imagined a Jeep could pull off such a perfect drift!"

Qin Yuan’s horizons had been broadened. In the blink of an eye, he had become a master-level Jeep driver.

"Tang Xinyi’s driving skills are laughably crude, like those of a child." Recalling Tang Xinyi’s drift through a corner earlier that afternoon, Qin Yuan couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.

From his current perspective, Tang Xinyi’s technique was far too clumsy. If she put in more effort, she could take her driving to the next level, but unfortunately, without someone to teach her, that barrier would likely never be broken.

*Thump!*

He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. The moment he touched the steering wheel, he felt as if he had become the master of the Jeep. He experienced a sense of perfect unity between man and machine! As long as he willed it, the Jeep would respond to his every command, executing any stunt he desired.

"This feeling... it’s absolutely wonderful!" Qin Yuan smiled brilliantly.

At that moment, Fan Tianlei walked out of the office. He opened the passenger door, sat down, and said with a smile, "Qin Yuan, is this your first time driving? Are you nervous?"

Fan Tianlei seemed relaxed and casual, not at all worried about Qin Yuan, a novice who had never touched a steering wheel before.

Qin Yuan chuckled, "Not nervous." He understood that Fan Tianlei was just pretending to be relaxed. After all, in the eyes of others, he was a total beginner; it would be strange if Fan Tianlei wasn't worried!

"Alright then, *ahem*, Qin Yuan, let me teach you how to drive." Fan Tianlei smiled and said, "See this? This is the gear shifter—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and R. These are the gears. Every time you drive, you need to press the clutch first..."

Fan Tianlei patiently explained the process, and Qin Yuan listened intently. After all, he didn't want to expose the secret of the system!

Three minutes later, Fan Tianlei finished his explanation. Qin Yuan, being very "obedient," began to start the car exactly as Fan Tianlei had instructed.

"Hmm, a very smooth start, not bad at all! You didn't stall—that's a huge victory!" Fan Tianlei praised, impressed by the smooth start.

"Good! That turn was sharp and precise, not too much and not too little. You handled the steering wheel perfectly!"

"Qin Yuan, it's your first time driving, don't go too fast. The speed is getting a bit high now!"

"Eh? Why is it that I don't feel any bumps while driving on this rough dirt road? Could it be... because I'm in a good mood today?"

"That's not right! The suspension on this beat-up Jeep is trash! Why is this happening?"

"Holy crap! Qin Yuan, even if there's no one else on the road, you don't have to hit 120 km/h! Slow down! There's a hairpin turn ahead; if you don't slow down, there's going to be an accident!"

Fan Tianlei glanced at the speedometer and let out a startled shout, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. His thick hand gripped the grab handle instinctively to steady himself!

Qin Yuan smiled faintly and said nothing. However, his body moved with complete honesty, executing the maneuvers. He yanked the steering wheel hard, coordinating the handbrake with the gas and brake pedals!

*Screech—!*

The heavy Jeep executed a beautiful, perfect drift! The hairpin turn that required slowing down was passed with ease, as if Qin Yuan were driving on flat ground!

Fan Tianlei was stunned to the point of numbness! He had thought he was about to die in a fiery wreck! But to his surprise, they had drifted through perfectly. During the drift, Fan Tianlei caught a glimpse of the speedometer—the speed was still 120 km/h! It hadn't dropped at all!

"My... my god..." Fan Tianlei looked at Qin Yuan with lingering fear. Qin Yuan looked as calm and composed as if he had just driven across a smooth highway.

"Qin Yuan, are... are you really driving for the first time?" Fan Tianlei wiped the sweat from his forehead, gulped, and couldn't help but ask.

He had no choice! Qin Yuan’s previous maneuver was absolutely insane! He had thought he was a goner, but instead, he had witnessed a perfect drift—using a military Jeep, no less!

"That's right, Chief of Staff. Why?" Qin Yuan smiled and replied nonchalantly. As far as he was concerned, this level of drifting was something he could do with his eyes closed.

"Why? Why?" Fan Tianlei twitched his lips in disbelief, thinking, *You brat! You're showing off way too hard!*

First time behind the wheel, yet he had already mastered drifting? And he was acting so cool about it? In all his years, Fan Tianlei had seen plenty of show-offs, but never one like this! Fan Tianlei fell into a contemplative silence.

...

*Screech!*

Suddenly, the Jeep slammed to a halt!

"What's wrong, Qin Yuan? Why did you stop the car?" Fan Tianlei asked in confusion, still lost in the shock of what he had just witnessed.

Qin Yuan smiled: "Chief of Staff, didn't you want me to take you to the Iron Fist Regiment? We're here."

"What? We're here? But this road usually takes me nearly 70 minutes to drive! You... you brat, you made it in less than 30 minutes?" Fan Tianlei glanced at his watch. Only 30 minutes had passed, and they were still halfway through the route! Yet Qin Yuan claimed they had arrived?

He suddenly recalled Qin Yuan's terrifying speed. Looking out the window, he realized that in front of them stood the Iron Fist Regiment—the very place he had intended to bring Qin Yuan to. They really had arrived!

Fan Tianlei offered a bitter smile: "Saying this is his first time driving? I wouldn't believe it even if I died! I thought he only had god-like gambling skills, but I never expected his driving to be this top-tier!"

"It seems this brat... still has quite a few secrets."

"This kid is a treasure; it's just a matter of how much I can dig out of him!"
