Chapter 126: War Chariot Plan

After leaving the Martial Artists' Alliance, the sky had begun to darken.

Facing Facing Cang Luo rode an electric motorcycle, using his feet as a human engine to pedal furiously, reaching a speed of at least forty kilometers per hour.

The yellow vehicle swept through the streets and alleys of Danyang County like the wind, drawing curses from street vendors lining the roadside.

It even attracted a patrol unit chasing after him—they mistook Facing Facing Cang Luo for riding a beast companion and causing chaos within the city, and thus sought to apprehend him.

This was explicitly forbidden by Chu Kingdom's laws.

Martial artists were strictly prohibited from riding beast companions at high speed within city limits, and even more so from summoning large beast companions; violators faced either corporal punishment and imprisonment, or immediate execution of their beast companion.

If they resisted, the master themselves would be killed.

When Facing Facing Cang Luo saw the soldiers chasing him, he was stunned—he wanted to stop and explain, but feared that a scholar could not reason with a soldier, and might lose his vehicle.

So, Facing Facing Cang Luo made an immediate decision to flee.

No—it was escape!

As long as he didn't hit anyone, it wasn't fleeing!

At this moment, the satellite's function became evident: the entire Danyang County lay under Facing Facing Cang Luo's surveillance, as if a real-time map of the city was projected into his mind.

Where traffic was jammed, where the traffic police were... pfft!

Wherever the soldiers were, he saw clearly; after weaving left and right, Facing Facing Cang Luo ducked into a roadside inn.

"Sir, beast companions are not allowed inside—please recall your companion..." The inn's waiter rushed forward, but his voice trailed off.

He noticed how strangely this yellow beast looked.

Where was its head?

Were those round, wheel-like things its legs?

Facing Facing Cang Luo grumbled, "Which eye do you think is seeing a beast companion? This is a mechanism vehicle crafted by Mo Family's Mechanism City!"

The waiter froze, then quickly bowed with a nervous smile: "I knew it! I've worked here two or three years—I've seen every kind of beast companion! Yours is truly unusual—it's a mechanism vehicle! Please, sir, come in."

Facing Facing Cang Luo waved his hand, entered the inn without further words, requested a room, carried the electric motorcycle upstairs, shut the door tightly, and began a careful inspection.

The tires—he'd noticed earlier—they were slightly deflated, but still held his weight.

The front and rear lights, turn signals—some little bastard had punctured them; likely that Seven-Star Bounty Hunter. Now only the taillight still worked, though its lens was cracked.

The rearview mirrors—both gone. The marks showed they'd been forcibly broken off.

The dashboard—the plastic cover was smashed, but the LCD panel should be intact...

"Damn! Did that bastard steal the battery? Is that Seven-Star Bounty Hunter named Zhou?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo startled, quickly opened the seat compartment, and immediately exhaled in relief—the battery hadn't been stolen; he probably didn't know how to open the compartment.

Inside the compartment was a raincoat—useless.

After a full inspection, the electric motorcycle was badly damaged, but all issues were minor—not enough to hinder riding.

Next, he needed to charge it and confirm the internal circuits were intact.

There were two methods of charging.

The first method was to directly insert a finger into the motorcycle's charging port and input Lei Guang energy—the same way you charge a phone.

Their battery voltages differed; he just needed to try a few times, adjusting the flow rate and output speed of the Lei Guang energy.

The second method was to directly convert the battery into a Qi battery.

Previously, Facing Facing Cang Luo had modified the Basic Lei Guang Array to make its lightning output controllable, then improved it several times.

Now, the fully modified Lei Guang Array could emit Lei Guang energy and was usable for charging.

All he needed to do was connect the array's output terminal to the motorcycle's charging port to input Lei Guang energy; the array's power source would be Qi stones.

In short, the method to create a Qi battery was to use a special array to convert unattributed Qi from Qi stones into Lei Guang energy, then output it.

The array had been developed, but several problems remained unsolved.

Where should the array be engraved? On what material? Where should the Qi stones be embedded as the energy source?

How should the array, the Qi stones, and the motorcycle's battery be connected? With what material?

Finally, how would he control it?

Facing Facing Cang Luo had no solution yet—he planned to visit a weapons shop or forge to see if he could find one; for now, he'd use the first method to charge.

Also, he should repair the damaged parts—patch the lights, repaint the scratched and chipped body shell, and inflate the tires.

As for the rearview mirrors—he had satellite surveillance; he didn't need them...

Thinking of repairing the exterior, Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly froze—why not use the Yuanwu Continent's method of forging rune weapons to fully retrofit the electric motorcycle?

Install a set of rune armor engraved with defensive arrays?

And attack arrays?

Facing Facing Cang Luo recalled his duel with Long Zhantian of the Confucius Academy—Long Zhantian's rune sword could unleash wind blades.

Engrave a set of arrays that could fire wind blades?

Then the electric motorcycle wouldn't just be a vehicle—it would become a steel war chariot!

Forge the armor from Rank 3, even Rank 4 materials...

At close range, it could charge through enemies—kill men, kill beasts!

At long range, it could launch wind blades and fireballs—become a tank, a mortar...

On ordinary days, it could replace Erha as a personal transport—absolutely stylish!

In the Yuanwu Continent, where people still relied on ordinary horses or beast companions to pull carts, a steel war chariot would be utterly unique... a dating神器!

Riding a steel war chariot, leading a two-headed Flame-Devouring Wolf—total aristocratic brat!

Facing Facing Cang Luo grew more excited by the thought, exclaiming: "Yes! Yes! Charge first, charge first—confirm the motorcycle's fine before thinking about retrofitting!"

Saying this, Facing Facing Cang Luo extended one finger and inserted it into the motorcycle's charging port to begin charging.

He slowly output Lei Guang energy, increasing its quantity from low to high, and its output speed from slow to fast.

Because of his prior experience charging a mobile phone, Facing Facing Cang Luo, after a few attempts, quickly found the suitable Yuan power flow and output speed for the electric motorcycle's battery and successfully charged it.

The capacity of an electric motorcycle battery is generally 24AH, which is 24,000mAh, while Facing Facing Cang Luo's phone battery capacity is 4,000mAh.

On the surface, the electric motorcycle battery's capacity is six times that of the phone battery.

However, because their voltages differ, with the former being more than ten times that of the latter, the actual electricity stored in the electric motorcycle battery is at least dozens of times that of the phone battery.

Facing Facing Cang Luo used Lightning-attribute Yuan power to charge the 4,000mAh phone, filling it in just one minute, so he felt charging the electric motorcycle should take about an hour...

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo stopped charging after five minutes.

Because he sensed that the Lightning-attribute Yuan power inside the electric motorcycle battery had reached saturation and could accept no more input, or it would explode.

"Fully charged? So fast?" Facing Facing Cang Luo asked in confusion.

"What is going on? Did my cultivation improve, making the charging speed faster? Or is there a problem with the battery, causing its capacity to shrink?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking and tried starting it to find out.

Turning the key, the speedometer on the handlebars, which had been smashed until only the LCD panel remained, suddenly flickered, and Facing Facing Cang Luo's little heart was lifted at that very moment.

"It's not broken! It can start!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo stared excitedly at the speedometer, and after a series of flickers, the battery icon displayed on it showed full bars!
