Chapter 2 Skateboarding

Ling Qi tidied up, took Catwoman's little hand, and planned to go out.While she was sleeping soundly, he was hungry and had almost eaten up all the food available at home.

This is a large single-room prefabricated room. They just opened the door and saw a thin and small boy holding a hoverboard in his left hand and raising his right hand as if he was about to knock on the door.

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

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

This kid is his only partner other than Kitty Catwoman, but usually he won't come to him directly, and always contact him through the communicator.

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

"It's okay, Xiaorou and I are going to have dinner. It's just right that you're here, let's go together and help pay the bill." Ling Qi closed the door, pulled him away.He didn't have many credit points in his account, so he saved as much as he could.

The thin monkey rolled his eyes, but he didn't shirk, he knew that this partner had a hard life.

The three of them sat down at a small roadside restaurant nearby and had a cheap and plentiful dinner.The thin monkey wiped his mouth and said, "It's good to know you're fine. I have a skateboarding competition with someone, so I have to go there quickly. Do you want to come?"

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

"It's in the open space not far from the scrap yard where you work." The thin monkey looked at the time and said, "Let's go, don't stay at home with Catwoman all day, and take part in activities more often to be healthy!"

Ling Qi originally planned to go to the scrap yard, but this place is just right, so he dragged the little cat girl to follow behind the thin monkey.

When he saw the skateboard that the thin 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 face: "It's not like you haven't used it before, what's so good about it?"

Ling Qi couldn't afford a hoverboard by himself, but Shouhou's family environment was not bad, so he bought one for him, and Ling Qi often borrowed it to use it, so he was no stranger to it.

As soon as I got the skateboard, a reminder from the captain system appeared in front of my eyes: "I found a good hoverboard, [-]% new. It belongs to the owner and cannot be bound as the captain's car. Do you choose to take over the driving temporarily?"

"Yes!" Ling Qi confirmed in his mind.

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

Ling Qi was helpless, and said to the thin monkey: "It's been a long time since it's used, let me try it?"

"Oh, use it, don't go too fast!" The thin monkey waved his hand indifferently.

With the consent of the thin monkey, Ling Qi immediately felt a connection with the skateboard, clearly grasped the performance of the skateboard, and could direct the skateboard to perform various skating actions through his mind.

Ling Qi turned on the energy of the skateboard, and as soon as he let go, 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.

Instead of the intelligence of the skateboard, his will has become the control center of the skateboard, and the skateboard seems 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 movements such as forward, stop, turn, climb, etc., without the need for analysis by the gyroscope.

"Great, now you only 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 driving method.

The climbing range of a normal hoverboard 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 lower the sliding height.Lingqi's takeover driving method is different. It can be forcibly controlled to slide at a height higher than the set height. Of course, the maximum height cannot exceed the limit height of one meter, which is related to its anti-gravity power output.

In front is the scrap yard, Ling Qi jumped off the skateboard and handed it back to Skinny Monkey.

"Brother, Xiao Rou also wants to play!" Catwoman looked at the skateboard and her heart was excited, but she had never learned it, so she couldn't master this self-balancing driving method at all.

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

"Yeah!" The little cat girl nodded obediently, hugged his arm, and followed the thin monkey.

The waste station is located on the outskirts of the town, closer to the foot of the mountain. The surrounding space is very open, with a large flat land more than 200 meters wide.At this time, hundreds of people had already gathered here.

Skateboarding is the most common outdoor entertainment program in small towns. Some skilled people can play various tricks such as drifting and sharp turns, which is very entertaining.People who don't like to stay at home to watch TV programs or go online for entertainment like to gather here for entertainment after dinner.

Ling Qi seldom 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 can 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 there.

Ling Qi dragged Catwoman past the scrap yard, and saw the boss casually standing at the door smoking a cigarette.This is an old man, Ling Qi doesn't know his exact age, but he still looks in good health, with a well-groomed beard.

Seeing his image, Ling Qi knew that he had finished his day's work, cleaned up, and was enjoying the leisure time in the evening.Usually at this time, Ling Qi usually does some small work under his guidance.

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

The old man usually takes good care of Ling Qi and Catwoman. He does not take care of this waste recycling station for income. Ling Qi thinks that he is more like looking for something to do and doesn't want to be idle.

"Oh, Xiao Qi and Kitty, why haven't you come to work these two days?" The old man's tone was normal, and he didn't mean to blame Ling Qi.

"I was injured the day before yesterday, and I have been resting for two days. I just wanted to come to you tonight to explain!" Ling Qi said respectfully.

"Well, are you going to watch the game? Young people just like to be lively, go ahead and talk about it after watching it." The old man waved his hand.

"Okay, see you later!" Ling Qi dragged the little cat girl to chase the thin monkey, who was already close to the crowd.

Skateboard competitions include two-person competitions and multi-person competitions, and the form is not fixed, depending on the agreement between the participants and the organizers.Thin Monkey is not participating in a competition organized by others, he is making an appointment with a friend who has a bad relationship.

Yosai means a game between two people, usually with a bet.

"I lost [-] credits to him in the afternoon, and that kid has been ridiculing him all the time. I'm really mad!" Shouhou pointed to a young man and said to Ling Qi.

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

At this time, there happened to be a pair of people on the track who were also about to compete. Chen Zhen noticed the pointing and talking of the thin monkey, looked at them with a sneer smile, said something to his companion, and the two walked over together.

"How much is the competition this time?" Chen Zhen said coolly, and even took a few more glances at Catwoman.

I heard that alien races are very common in big cities on some developed planets, and they live in peace with the human race, but they are rare in this small town, especially such a beautiful little catwoman.

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

Ling Qi looked at him in surprise, when did this kid become so rich?You must know that a hoverboard with ordinary performance needs more than 5000 credit points, and his Ling Qi's account has never exceeded [-] credit points.

The thin monkey leaned close to Ling Qi's ear and explained in a low voice: "My eldest sister came back to visit relatives yesterday, and secretly gave it to me!"

Ling Qi suddenly realized that his eldest sister married a wealthy man in a big city, and it is said that her strength is much stronger than that of the Ling family.

"There's nothing you dare to do, 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!" The thin monkey despised him.

When Chen Zhen's companion heard this, he frowned and asked him the details in a low voice.After understanding the process, he also thought that Chen Zhen was really lucky, but now that he has accepted the challenge, he cannot regret it.

He rolled his eyes, pointed at Ling Qi and suggested: "How about we change the way and let our respective companions compete, you two bet against each other, how about me and your friend?"

Shouhou refused: "Don't do it, Ling Qi doesn't know how to play games at all."

"I won't either. How about this, I'll add another [-] credits, and we'll bet you [-] with [-]!"

The thin monkey hesitated, he looked at Ling Qi and asked for his opinion.

"No problem!" Ling Qi was actually eager to try, and he would never give up this opportunity to make money.Comparing the performance of the two people in the race just now, with the cheating method of taking over the driving, he is confident that it will not be too bad.

Shouhou was a little worried, he knew that Ling Qi only knew how to use a skateboard, and never participated in such high-speed competitions.It's just that it's okay to lose the credit points, but I'm afraid that if one loses the balance and falls out, it will hurt the muscles and bones.

"It's okay, I will control the speed and not be impulsive!" Ling Qi comforted.

Thin Monkey thought of this guy's nerdy nature, he was indeed not impulsive, so he agreed, but he still reminded in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you lose, don't fall!"

"Since everyone doesn't know how to do it, let's choose the simplest 500-meter heart-shaped track. Start from here, come back from there and finish here!" Shouhou fought again at the end.He didn't know Chen Zhen's partner, and he didn't know the details of the other party. Although the other party said he couldn't play games, he couldn't really believe it. He could only try 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, and the gathered onlookers heard that someone was about to race again, so they immediately gave way, and some people started to be the dealer, betting on the outcome of the two.

Ling Qi and his opponent stood at the beginning of the track, and the skateboard was suspended at their feet.

Someone arranged the lights by remote control, and the wireless lights on some obstacles were turned on, and the other lights were turned off. In this way, the lights that were still on were connected to form two hearts, one big and one small.Between them is the track, which measures two meters at its widest turn and less than one meter at its narrowest.

The ground of the track is not flat either. In some places, obstacles of about 30 centimeters suddenly appear. If you do not climb some heights in time, you will hit them due to inertia.The top speed of the hoverboard can reach [-] kilometers per hour. Once it falls out of balance, it will cause serious injury even if it is not dead.

As soon as the referee whistled, Ling Qi and his opponent stepped on the skateboard almost at the same time.At this time, it can be seen that Chen Zhen's partner is obviously a veteran. When he stepped on the skateboard, he kicked his supporting foot hard to send his body forward. The person and the skateboard had already slid out. Put on the skateboard.

But Ling Qi was inexperienced, so he stepped on the skateboard obediently, stood still and then slid forward, already a few meters behind. .
