Chapter 64

"You have already obtained your internship driver's license? Then can we drive my dad's car to the beach to play soon?"

In a small cafe next to the shopping street in Midtown, Gwen was slowly stirring the coffee in front of her with a spoon. Peter, who was sitting opposite her, said: "My uncle doesn't have much time. He found a shadow in his lungs at the hospital before, but fortunately, it was just not very serious inflammation. You know, he smoked when he was young..."

"Of course, their generation is all like that. My dad is also like that. Every time his coat is stained with smoke, my mom will quarrel with him."

"Although I got the internship driver's license, my uncle doesn't have time, no one accompanies me, and I can't go on the road alone. I haven't driven a car yet." Peter shrugged and said.

"Actually, I don't know how to drive yet. The internship driver's license only needs a written test. I can barely start the car now. As for how to drive..." Peter shook his head.

"I don't know when I can pass the road test. I don't even have many times when I take a car, let alone drive."

The Parker family only has an old pickup truck that Uncle Ben uses to go to work. When Peter went to Stark Company for an internship, he relied on himself to swing between high-rise buildings with spider silk.

In the United States, the internship driver's license obtained at Peter's age only requires a written test, but if you want to drive on the road alone, you must pass the road test. Peter basically hasn't touched a car now. Even if he is a genius, it is impossible to conjure it out of thin air, and passing the road test is even more remote.

Gwen heard the disappointment in Peter's tone. She changed the subject.

"I heard that Stark Group gave you a considerable internship fee and also plans to let you work in their group in the future?"

"Yes, although I told my uncle and aunt, they will be responsible for my future college tuition, but obviously, they were frightened by the expensive tuition of some good universities. They want to save all the money to avoid any unexpected situations."

"I think this is also good. Sometimes, I feel they are worrying about nothing, but when some disasters really come, I find that their worries are not unreasonable." Gwen said. Her gentleness and understanding always make Peter feel that he is not worthy of her.

"If your uncle can't accompany you to practice driving, then does he have no friends? Or do you have any other elders who are free?"

Peter thought about it and said: "You reminded me, I do have a few candidates..."

The next day, in the living room of the psychological clinic, Peter said: "... the situation is like this, I have to touch the car first before I can pass the road test."

Shiler was stunned for a moment and felt that this was not a big deal. With Peter's genius degree, driving him around once, presumably he would learn everything.

So he said: "No problem, I am very happy to help. I will drive you around first, you watch from the side, and then change to yourself. You don't need an afternoon, you will learn everything."

A few dozen minutes later, Shiler was in the driver's seat, took out a small booklet from somewhere, and while adjusting the steering wheel, looked at the booklet and said: "Let me see, the part about turning and merging... oh, here! Wait, this rule is too strange, right?"

Pikachu and Peter sat in the passenger seat and stared at each other. Pikachu said: "I guess, before he took the driver's license test, he didn't read the 'New York Driver's Manual' at all."

"Isn't this already obvious?" Peter said.

"Then why don't you think about how his driver's license was passed?"

Peter stared stiffly ahead and said: "As long as I don't think about this problem, I will feel that I am safe for the time being."

After a few minutes, Peter and Shiler were standing next to the car. The cold wind of early winter in New York made him shiver.

Shiler took the phone and said: "Hello? Insurance company? Yes... I have already sent the location information to you... oh, not serious, there is a scratch on the side of the vehicle..."

Then he covered the receiver and shouted loudly to the owner of a white Audi next to him: "Shut up!! This is all your fault! Haven't you read the 'New York Driver's Manual'? I am the one going straight, you can't..."

Twenty minutes later, a flashy red supercar stopped next to the accident scene. Stark in the car was wearing sunglasses. He waved to Peter and said: "Let's go! Your Uncle Tony will take you to appreciate the scenery of the New York coastline!"

As he spoke, he made a contemptuous nasal sound again and said: "You should have come to find me at the beginning. Look at this doctor's appearance, where does he look like a real racing driver? I bet he has never driven a car to 100 mph in his life..."

Peter looked back at Shiler who was talking to the insurance company, still holding Pikachu, and got into Stark's sports car.

Not long after, Pikachu covered his two ears tightly and shouted at Peter in the strong wind: "Why does he！！！！Speed！！！！Not close the roof? ！！！！"

"How would I know！！！！！！" Peter also shouted.

"This is called！！！Speed and Passion！！！！！！Understand? ！！！！!" Stark also shouted.

After a few minutes, the sports car also stopped on the side of the road. Stark didn't know where he found a small booklet, looked at it while saying: "Damn... how to close the roof? I almost never drove the car manually myself... no no no, Jarvis, I don't need your help..."

"Let me see... oh, here! What?? Vehicle intelligent management system？？？？Why is it damn intelligent again？？？I want to drive manually! This is teaching, understand？？Is there no button or something？？"

Twenty minutes later, Steve picked up Peter, whose hair was blown into a bird's nest, on the side of the road. Pikachu pulled hard on the hair on his body that was blown into knots and said: "I shouldn't have believed your nonsense about going for a ride! I'm just a mouse, and I don't need to learn to drive, why on earth should I come out with you?"

Peter comforted him and said: "It's okay, Captain America will definitely not be as unreliable as them!"

Indeed, the car Steve drove was a plain black Cadillac. After Peter got in, Steve's movements to start the car were also very skilled. At least he didn't take out a small booklet from somewhere and look at it while driving. Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. Steve's speed was getting higher and higher, and he didn't slow down when turning. Every time he drifted, the tires would leave scorched black marks on the ground, and Peter would be hit hard on the car door on the other side. Pikachu, who was held in his arms, almost flew out of the car window.

Then, when passing the speed bump, Steve didn't mean to slow down at all. In the horrified eyes of Peter and Pikachu, the car rushed over straight. After the front wheels of the vehicle touched the speed bump, there was a fierce bump, and the front part of the whole car tilted up directly.

Steve still didn't care. The whole car almost flew over the speed bump in the air. Peter was directly bumped up from the seat, his head hit the roof of the car hard, and when he fell, his waist was hit by the seat again. He screamed: "Oh!!! My waist!!"

At this time, Pikachu had been slapped onto the windshield.

Steve was still driving on his own. He saw Peter's miserable appearance and said with a smile: "The suspension system of this vehicle is already very advanced. When I drove on the battlefield, I would get a few bruises on my legs and arms in less than 20 kilometers..."

"Learning to drive always has this process. The speed bumps on the road are much better than the nail traps and anti-impact road obstacles on the battlefield, right?"

Twenty minutes later, Coulson drove S. H. I. E. L. D.'s special car and picked up Steve and Peter. Steve complained: "I take back the words I just praised this car. Its quality is too poor, why did it stall?"

Coulson said: "Captain, even if you are Captain America, you can't drive without a license and speed on the main road in New York..."

"Damn driving without a license, how could I not have a driver's license?!"

"Driver's licenses before 1940 don't count."

Steve pursed his lips and said: "Fine, but at least I didn't speed."

"Traffic regulations before 1940 don't count either."

Pikachu sat in Peter's arms like he was lifeless and said: "... you are really too good at making friends."

Peter also said lifelessly: "I thought there would always be a reliable one."

"That's just what you thought."

Coulson turned his head and asked: "So you wanted to take the driver's license test? Why didn't you call and ask us? S. H. I. E. L. D. can bypass the Motor Vehicle Administration and issue you an official driver's license directly. We still have this bit of power."

Peter said: "If you told me this before today, I would definitely be happy to let you print me an official driver's license immediately."

"But now I have learned a lesson. I'd better practice slowly by myself. Before driving on the road, I will definitely memorize the driver's manual and vehicle manual, and then update the driver's license information on time every year."

Coulson seemed quite surprised. He looked at Peter appreciatively and said: "There are not many young people like you who hold themselves upright and do not pursue privileges."

Peter said tiredly: "That's probably because I am really too good at making friends."
