Chapter 85: Flight Mode, Start!
Chapter 85: Flight Mode, Start!
This was what happened. After Tang Chen and Yang Mi got home, Yang Mi went to the bathroom to take a shower first, while Tang Chen sat in front of the computer and logged into Yang Mi’s Weibo account.
He had not forgotten that he had used Yang Mi’s Weibo account earlier that morning to leave a comment under Huang Tao’s Weibo post. He wanted to see if there were now a lot of foolish fans replying to him or something.
Sure enough, as soon as he logged into Yang Mi’s Weibo account, he received over a hundred private message notifications. Of course, Tang Chen did not read any of them. Instead, he went to Huang Tao’s Weibo page, where his own comment had long been buried by Huang Tao’s fans. The comments below were all things like “Boycott Junyue, Young Master Tang should die!”
What took Tang Chen by even more surprise was that Huang Tao had posted another Weibo. The content was as follows: My dear peaches, you see, that Young Master Tang who hit people is so arrogant. He even came to my Weibo to curse at me. How disgusting! I haven’t been back to the motherland for a long time, and I never expected Chinese people to be so rude nowadays.
Below this Weibo post, naturally, were all sorts of reposts and comments from those idiot fans. Not only that, but there was even a verified influencer named Zheng Xiaoshuang who reposted it.
Tang Chen knew this Zheng Xiaoshuang. She was born in the 1990s and looked like she had some issues. She specialized in acting in idol dramas. A few years ago, she starred in a TV drama called “Let’s Chase Liu Xingyu Together” with the fish pond owner Zhao Han on Mango TV. Her style was very emo and alternative.
After that, Zheng Xiaoshuang became really popular. It was even rumored that she and Zhao Han went from being an on-screen couple to a real-life couple. But this little troublemaker was wild and ended up dumping Zhao Han, who was willing to take care of the entire fish pond for her, and got together with a chubby singer instead.
Originally, Tang Chen didn’t care about these entertainment industry gossip, but he never expected Zheng Xiaoshuang not only reposted and liked Huang Tao’s Weibo but also commented: “Don’t bother with it too much. There are always a lot of crazy people in this world. Arguing with those crazy people will only wear you out in the end.”
Tang Chen was completely enraged. Was this little troublemaker calling him crazy? Damn it! What business did she have meddling in his issues with Huang Tao? Was she asking for a beating?
Tang Chen directly commented under Huang Tao’s new Weibo: “Huang Tao, you little punk, listen up. Young Master is really pissed off now. I thought teaching you a lesson would make you behave, but I didn’t expect you to still act tough online. And that Zheng Xiaoshuang is your side piece, right? You two rotten couple better wait for me at home. Young Master is coming to deal with you tonight!” After clicking “send,” Tang Chen quietly waited to see if Huang Tao would dare to challenge him again.
As it turned out, Huang Tao was truly asking for trouble. He didn’t realize Tang Chen’s anger at all. Instead, he posted a few laughing emojis with the caption: “Oh, so impressive Young Master Tang! I, Huang Tao, will be waiting for you at the Golden Gate Garden Community in the capital. Also, you can insult me, but don’t insult Miss Zheng Xiaoshuang. If you have a problem, come at me!”
“Go, Tao Tao! We peaches will always support you!”
“That’s right, don’t be afraid of those bullies. I don’t believe he would actually dare to come!”
“That guy is just bluffing. Do you think he’s Superman? How dare he say he’s coming to our Tao Tao’s house to teach him a lesson? Is there no law in this society?” Huang Tao’s words made his female fans all excited. He was truly the prince charming in their hearts. Even when he was wronged, he still wanted to protect Zheng Xiaoshuang. What a good man!
Zheng Xiaoshuang quickly responded as well: “There are always so many senseless people in this world. If speaking the truth leads to threats, then we might as well stay silent and never say anything.”
Fans replied below with comments like, “Don’t be angry, Shuang Shuang, we will always love you!”
Tang Chen was so angry he laughed. He simply shut down the computer, then said to the System in his mind, “System, I remember you told me last time that the Extravagant Battle Car could fly and dive underground, right?”
The System knew what Tang Chen intended to do and tried to persuade him helplessly, “Respected Host, please don’t be so angry. Things could really go wrong if you act like this.”
“I don’t care.” Tang Chen angrily punched the table, then said, “Young Master is not someone who can tolerate injustice. That rotten couple has gone too far. If Young Master doesn’t teach them a lesson, how can I keep my reputation in the future?”
The System was very helpless. The Host’s temper was getting more and more volatile, always talking about “dealing with people.” You’re the protagonist, couldn’t you act a bit more positive? Aren’t you afraid of setting a bad example for kids with all this violence?
“Respected Host, if you activate Flight Mode, the Extravagant Battle Car will need to rest for a week. That means after activating Flight Mode this time, you won’t be able to use the Extravagant Battle Car for a week. Are you sure you want to do this?” Although the System knew the Host had already made up his mind, as a dutiful System, it still needed to confirm.
Tang Chen waved his hand dismissively and said, “No problem. I just want to go teach that bitch and bastard a lesson tonight. Otherwise, I won’t even sleep well tonight. Isn’t there a saying? Beat up the scoundrels, and your night life will be stronger!”
System: “…”
“Yang Mi, I’m going out for a bit.” Tang Chen made up his mind, then walked to the bathroom door and knocked.
“Huh?” Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, then opened the bathroom door a little. With her wet hair, she asked softly, “It’s already past seven. Are you still going out?”
Tang Chen saw her in the misty steam, a towel wrapped around her upper body, her magnificent peaks faintly visible. Young Master Tang’s “big brother” instantly perked up, but remembering he had things to do, he forcefully suppressed his wicked thoughts.
“It’s just a small matter. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in at most two hours. Be good and stay at home.” Tang Chen chuckled, then reached out and groped her peaks, grinning mischievously, “Wash up nicely, and wait for me to come back!”
“Disgusting!” Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise at the sudden chest attack, then slammed the door shut and turned on the faucet again. She reminded Tang Chen, “Then come back early.”
“Mm.” Tang Chen casually agreed, then walked out. After arriving at the garage, he first drove the Extravagant Battle Car out, then stopped in an alley and said to the System, “System, tell me, how can I activate Flight Mode?”
The System explained, “Respected Host, it’s very simple. You just need to activate the virtual in-car service, then follow Xiao Mei’s instructions.”
Tang Chen said “Oh,” then spoke to the dashboard in front of him, “Activate virtual in-car service!”
“Ding! Virtual in-car service activated. Attendant Xiao Mei at your service. Host identity confirmed. Please select the service you wish to use.” The same emotionless mechanical female voice sounded, and the dashboard immediately dimmed.
Tang Chen said directly, “Xiao Mei, activate Flight Mode for me.”
“Ding! Sufficient materials, sufficient power. Flight Mode can be activated. After Flight Mode is activated, it will switch to autopilot mode. Are you sure?”
“Confirm, activate it.”
“Ding! Please select your destination from the following areas.” As the voice spoke, the dimmed dashboard lit up, displaying green grids with the names of different areas.
Tang Chen remembered what Huang Tao had said earlier, so he first clicked on “Capital,” then wrote “Golden Gate Garden Community” in six characters in the side column.
“Ding! Area confirmed. Activating Flight Mode now. Please fasten your seatbelt!” As the voice fell, black seatbelts appeared on both sides of Tang Chen’s seat, securely fastening him in place.
Then, a roaring engine sound started. Tang Chen heard clanking noises from beneath the car body. All four tires automatically retracted, replaced by four jet-like devices. White gas slowly lifted the car body, causing it to float. Two yellow wing-like objects appeared on both sides of the car doors.
“Ding! Flight Mode activated. Let’s go!” After Xiao Mei said this last sentence, the Extravagant Battle Car—no, it should be called the Extravagant Flying Car—suddenly lifted off from the ground and soared into the sky.
The wind rushed past fiercely, slapping Tang Chen’s face like a palm, making it sting with pain.
“Damn it, Xiao Mei! It’s too fast! Slow down a bit!” Tang Chen yelled angrily. Damn it, which lousy pilot once said they wanted to fly freely in the sky like a bird?
Damn it, if you actually got to fly, you’d know. Oh man, with this convertible and this speed, the feeling was so intense it was unbearable…
