My sampan can be upgraded

Ling Qi tidied up, held Kitten Girl's little hand, and planned to go out. While she was sleeping, he was so hungry that he had consumed almost all the food in the house.

This was a large single-room wooden house. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a thin boy holding a floating skateboard in his left hand and raising his right hand as if he was about to knock on the door.

"Uh, what a coincidence!" The skinny boy was stunned.

Ling Qi was confused: "Shouhou, why are you here?"

This guy is his only friend besides Kitten Girl, but he usually doesn't come to him directly. If anything happens, he always communicates through the communicator.

The thin monkey looked him up and down: "I just heard that you were beaten and seriously injured. How are you now? Why don't you look like you to me?"

"It's okay. Xiaorou and I are going to eat. You're here just in time. Let's come together and help pay for the bill." Ling Qi closed the door, pulled him and left. He didn't have many credits in his account, so he would save money if he could.

The thin monkey rolled his eyes, but he didn't shirk it. He knew that this friend's life was tight.

The three of them sat down at a nearby roadside restaurant and had a cheap and filling dinner. Thin Monkey wiped his mouth and said, "It's good to know that you're okay. I've made an appointment with someone for a skateboarding competition and I have to get there quickly. Do you want to come?"

"Where is it?" Ling Qi saw that Kitten Girl wanted to see the excitement, so she planned to take her to have a look.

"It's an open space not far from the scrapyard where you work." Shouhou looked at the time and said, "Let's go, don't stay at home with Catwoman all day, it's healthy to go out and participate in activities more!"

Ling Qi originally planned to go to the scrap station, but this place was just right, so he pulled Cat Girl and followed Slim Monkey.

When he saw the skateboard that Skinny Monkey was carrying on his shoulders, he felt moved and said, "Show me your skateboard."

The thin monkey handed it to him with a puzzled look on his face: "It's not like you haven't used it before. What's so interesting about it?"

Ling Qi couldn't afford to buy a floating skateboard, but Shou Hou's family environment was not bad, so he bought one for him. Ling Qi often borrowed it, so he was no stranger to it.

As soon as I bought the skateboard, a prompt from the captain's system appeared in front of me: "Found a floating skateboard in good condition, 70% new. It belongs to the owner and cannot be bound to become the captain's car. Do you want to temporarily take over the driving?"

"Yes!" Ling Qi confirmed in his mind.

"You need to obtain authorization from the skateboard owner!" A prompt appeared in front of you.

Ling Qi was helpless and said to Shouhou: "It's been a long time since I've used it. May I try?"

"Oh, use it, don't go too fast!" Thin Monkey waved his hand nonchalantly.

As Shouhou agreed, Ling Qi immediately felt a connection with the skateboard. He clearly mastered the performance of the skateboard and could command the skateboard to perform various sliding actions through his mind.

Ling Qi turned on the energy of the skateboard. As soon as he let go of his hand, the skateboard was suspended in the air half a meter above the ground. As soon as he stepped on it, he immediately found that this way of taking over driving was very unusual.

His will replaced the intelligence of the skateboard and became the control center of the skateboard. The skateboard seemed to have become a part of his body. When driving a skateboard, Ling Qi only needs to issue relevant instructions in his mind, and the skateboard will make corresponding actions such as moving forward, stopping, turning, climbing, etc., without the need for gyroscope analysis.

"Great, now you just need to control your body balance. It's much more flexible and easier to drive!" Ling Qi slid back and forth between them for a while, and then he was completely familiar with this new way of driving.

The climbing range of a normal floating skateboard is only half a meter high, and if it detects that the distance from the ground exceeds half a meter after climbing, it will automatically and gently reduce the sliding height. Ling Qi's takeover driving method is different. It can be forcibly controlled to slide higher than the set height. Of course, the maximum height cannot exceed the limit height of one meter. This is related to its anti-gravity power output.

Ahead was the scrap station. Ling Qi jumped off the skateboard and handed it back to Shouhou.

"Brother, Xiaorou wants to play too!" Cat Girl was excited when she saw the skateboard, but she had never studied and could not master this self-balancing driving method.

"Don't worry, brother will buy one for you later!" Ling Qi said, rubbing her head.

"Yeah!" Kitten Girl nodded obediently, hugged his arm, and followed Skinny Monkey over.

The scrap station is located on the outskirts of the town, closer to the foot of the mountain. The surrounding space is very empty, with a large flat land more than two hundred meters wide. By this time, hundreds of people had gathered here.

Skateboard racing is the most common outdoor entertainment program in small towns. Some people with strong skills can do various tricks such as drifting and sharp turns, which is very entertaining. People who don't like to stay at home and watch TV programs or surf the Internet for entertainment like to gather here after dinner.

Ling Qi rarely participated in such occasions. He had seen it from a distance before. They set up many signs and obstacles in the open space to form a "track" with various curvatures. The length of the circuit could reach more than three kilometers.

I heard that there is a thrilling real track on the other side of the mountain, but Ling Qi has never been to see it.

Ling Qi took Kitten Girl by the scrap station and saw the boss standing casually at the door smoking. This is an old man. Ling Qi doesn't know his exact age. He looks very strong and has a neatly groomed beard.

As soon as she saw his image, Ling Qi knew that he had finished his day's work, cleaned up, and was enjoying his leisure time in the evening. At this time, Ling Qi usually does some small jobs under his guidance.

"Grandpa Grant, good evening!" Ling Qi and Cat Girl greeted him together.

This old man usually takes good care of Ling Qi and Kitten Girl. He does not manage this waste recycling station to earn income. Ling Qi thinks that he is just looking for something to do and does not want to be idle.

"Oh, Xiaoqi and Xiaomao'er, why haven't you come over to work in the past two days?" The old man said in a normal tone and did not mean to blame Ling Qi.

"I was injured the day before yesterday and have been recovering for two days. I was planning to come over to you tonight to explain!" Ling Qi said respectfully.

"Well, are you going to watch the game? Young people just like the excitement, so go ahead and come back after watching it." The old man waved his hand.

"Okay, see you later!" Ling Qi pulled Kitty Girl and chased Shouhou, who was already close to the crowd.

Skateboarding competitions include two-person and multi-person competitions. The format is not fixed and depends on the agreement between the participants and the organizers. Shouhou is not participating in a competition organized by others. He is competing with a friend with whom he has a bad relationship.

A game means a game between two people, usually with bets.

"I lost 500 credits to him this afternoon, and that kid kept sarcastic and sarcastic. I'm so angry!" Shouhou pointed at a young man and said to Ling Qi.

Ling Qi recognized that it was a member of the Chen family, named Chen Zhen. The Chen family is a family no smaller than the Ling family, and is quite powerful in the small town.

At this time, there happened to be a pair of people on the track who were also scheduled to compete. After Chen Zhen noticed the thin monkey pointing and talking, he looked at them and smiled coldly. He said something to his companion, and the two walked over together.

"What's the comparison this time?" Chen Zhen said coolly, and looked at Cat Girl a few more times.

I heard that alien races are common in big cities on some developed planets and coexist peacefully with humans, but they are rare in this small town, especially such a beautiful Kitten Girl.

The thin monkey raised his head and said proudly: "A thousand credits, do you dare?"

Ling Qi looked at him in surprise, when did this kid become so rich? You should know that a hoverboard with ordinary performance requires more than 5,000 credit points, and Ling Qi's account has never exceeded 200 credit points.

Shouhou leaned into Ling Qi's ear and whispered, "My eldest sister came back to visit relatives yesterday and secretly gave it to me!"

Ling Qi suddenly realized that his eldest sister was married to a wealthy man from a big city and was said to be much more powerful than the Ling family.

"What are you afraid of? Just don't cry and deny it if you lose!" Chen Zhen teased.

"Tch, you're the one crying. You were just lucky this afternoon. If I hadn't made a small mistake, how could you have won?" Thin Monkey despised him.

When Chen Zhen's companion heard this, he frowned and asked him for details in a low voice. After understanding what happened, he also believed that Chen Zhen was indeed lucky, but now that he had accepted the challenge, he could not regret it.

He rolled his eyes and pointed at Ling Qi and suggested: "How about we change the method and let our respective companions compete. The two of you will bet against each other. How about me and your friend competing?"

Shouhou refused: "No, Ling Qi doesn't know how to play the game."

"Neither do I. Let's do this, I'll add one thousand more credits, and we'll bet you one thousand with two thousand!"

Shouhou hesitated and looked at Ling Qi, asking for his opinion.

"No problem!" Ling Qi was actually eager to give it a try. Given this opportunity to make money, he would not give it up no matter what. Comparing the performance of the two people in the competition just now, with his cheating method of taking over the driving, I am confident that it will not be too bad.

Shouhou was a little worried. He knew that Ling Qi only knew how to skateboard and never participated in such high-speed competitions. It's okay just to lose the credit points, but I'm afraid that if I don't have a good balance, I will fall out, which will hurt my muscles and bones.

"It's okay, I will control my speed and won't be impulsive!" Ling Qi comforted.

Shouhou thought of this guy's homely nature and that he was indeed not an impulsive person, so he agreed, but still reminded him in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you lose, don't fall!"

"Since no one knows how to do it, let's choose the simplest 500-meter heart-shaped track. Start here, come back over there and finish here!" Shouhou made another effort at the end. He didn't know Chen Zhen's companion and didn't know his background. Although he said he didn't know how to play games, he couldn't really believe it and could only try his best to create favorable conditions for Ling Qi.

"Okay!" The other party said it didn't matter.

They walked towards the starting point of the track. When the crowd gathered to watch heard that someone was planning to race again, they immediately made room. Some people started to bet on the outcome of the two people.

Ling Qi and his opponent stood at the starting point of the track, with the skateboard hovering at their feet.

Someone remotely arranged the lights. The wireless lights on some obstacles turned on, and other lights were turned off. In this way, the lights that were still on were connected to form two heart shapes, one large and one small. Between them is the track, which is two meters wide at its widest turn and less than one meter at its narrowest.

The ground of the track is not flat. In some places, obstacles of about 60 centimeters suddenly appear. If you don't climb some height in time, you will hit it due to inertia. The top speed of the hoverboard can reach 30 kilometers per hour. If it loses balance and falls out, it will cause death or serious injury.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Ling Qi and his opponent stepped onto the skateboard almost simultaneously. At this time, it was obvious that Chen Zhen's partner was obviously a veteran. When he stepped on the skateboard, he pushed his supporting foot hard on the ground and pushed his body forward. The man and the skateboard had already slid out. At this time, he put the supporting foot in the air. Put away the skateboard.

Ling Qi, on the other hand, was inexperienced. He stepped on the skateboard honestly and stood still. He then slid forward and was already a few meters behind. .
