By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Let's learn from Chapter 7.

After leaving Yang Ting's house, Li Younan found a chain hotel and booked a room for 10 days at once.

He planned to spend the next period of time here. After putting away his few belongings, he would focus on the wrecked Land Cruiser.

In fact, Li Younan was also gambling. There was no doubt that the car's engine was damaged, and the bulk of the repair cost would be on the engine. As for the transmission, although Li Younan only glanced at it, he judged that it probably didn't have any major problems.

Whether it's a bargain or spending 6000 yuan to buy a pile of scrap metal, the key point is whether that engine can be repaired.

Li Younan had to admire the system's "vehicle repair skill +1" boost it gave him.

If +1 is this powerful, then +2 would be incredible!
While he was inspecting the engine, although he didn't open it to see what was inside, he had a strange confidence that he could fix the car for a maximum of 10 yuan.

It was based on this feeling that Li Younan made up his mind to buy it.

He took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

He was very popular in college and had many friends, one of whom opened a car modification shop after graduation.

Li Younan planned to fix the car himself. The first problem to solve was where to get it repaired, since repairing a car requires a lot of professional tools.

After hearing about Li Younan's needs, the guy agreed without hesitation to provide Li Younan with his own venue and tools.

With the biggest problem solved, Li Younan immediately had the cart towed over.

His friend's name is Lu Haibo.

After the car was towed to its destination, Li Younan jumped off the cart and looked around curiously. The location was rather remote, with no decent buildings around; the entire street was lined with various auto repair shops and tire shops.

Lu Haibo's modification company was simply furnished, a steel-framed warehouse with seven or eight professional repair bays. Just as he was looking around, Lu Haibo was already in front of him, lightly punching him in the chest, and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at? Can't a grown man like me attract your attention?"

Li Younan smiled and said, "With your help, I feel much more confident."

Lu Haibo's gaze fell on the badly damaged Land Cruiser on the cart. He blinked before asking, "I didn't ask in detail on the phone earlier. What did you need my workstation for? Repairing a car? This one?"

Li Younan nodded.

Lu Haibo frowned, looked at the car with some suspicion, and asked, "Is the engine okay?"

Li Younan did not respond, but simply said, "Let's take it off first."

Lu Haibo found a few workers to help unload the car and put it on the work station.

Li Younan said, "I'll have to come here often these days."

Lu Haibo shook his head and said, "It's nothing." His expression was somewhat puzzled and confused: "Although I'm not a professional car mechanic, there are many commonalities between modification and repair. Is there any need to repair your car?"

He then said to a worker known as Master Yang, "Master Yang, could you take a look?"

Master Yang chuckled and said, "Of course it can be repaired, but the engine looks broken and needs to be replaced. These things aren't cheap; a brand new engine costs almost half the price of the car."

Lu Haibo let out a "whoa!" and then asked Li Younan, "Dude, what's your budget?"

Li Younan thought for a moment and said, "The tentative budget is 10 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Haibo was stunned for a moment, while the workers present exchanged glances with somewhat strange expressions.

Master Yang, who was clearly the most senior, said decisively, "10 yuan? Don't be ridiculous. You can't even buy half an engine with 10 yuan. How is that possible?"

Li Younan had already started fiddling with the repair tools. He checked them over; although he had never seen them before, or even most of his life before, he had a familiar feeling of having used them hundreds of times, like using chopsticks. He already had a clear plan in mind for how to disassemble the car.

He turned his head and said with a smile, "I can't afford to replace the engine, let's see if we can fix it."

Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Master Yang seemed to have heard an unbelievable joke and said, "You think you can fix the engine? Are you kidding me?"

Li Younan calmly shook his head: "We need to take it apart to see how badly the engine is damaged." Then he looked at Lu Haibo and said: "Brother, I'm a bit pressed for time. I'll start taking it apart tonight, so you can have this workstation for now."

Lu Haibo looked at Li Younan with a puzzled expression and said, "Of course, there's no problem lending you the workstation, but where are your workers?"

Lu Haibo confirmed that Li Younan had never worked in car repair. After all, they had been in the same city and had always kept in touch. He knew what Li Younan had been doing since graduation.

So when Li Younan asked to borrow his place, Lu Haibo's first thought was that Li Younan must have his own people.

But Li Younan just gave a meaningful smile, then pointed to himself and said, "I can do it myself."

Lu Haibo frowned immediately and said, "You, you can fix cars? Seriously, this is no joke."

Li Younan could only vaguely say, "Yes, I was already involved in auto repair when I was very young in the county town." Although this was nonsense, Lu Haibo couldn't verify it for the time being.

Lu Haibo shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is really shocking. You said you've worked in auto repair? Don't cause me any trouble... I'm not too worried about my equipment, I'm just afraid you'll hurt yourself."

Not only did Lu Haibo not believe it, but his workers also looked at Li Younan with skeptical and serious expressions. If it weren't for Lu Haibo's presence, they probably would have started mocking him.

Li Younan didn't intend to explain. He immediately started operating the hydraulic lift, which startled everyone, and they almost stopped him. But they quickly calmed down because they realized that Li Younan had indeed used the equipment before and was very skilled at it.

Li Younan adjusted the car to a suitable height, then picked up the pneumatic wrench and, without saying a word, found a hole and drilled it in.

An expert's skill is immediately apparent; this single action stunned everyone present.

Anyone who has ever disassembled a car knows that if someone has never done it before, even if they are given professional tools, they won't know where to find the first screw that needs to be removed.

Li Younan said, "It's still early, I plan to do it myself for a while. If you're busy, you should go and rest first."

Lu Haibo was dumbfounded. He felt that Li Younan in front of him was a complete stranger. When did he learn to use auto repair tools?
Although Li Younan said that, the other workers were still a little worried, and of course, there was also an element of curiosity. They didn't leave, but stood silently to the side watching Li Younan operate.

Li Younan's movements were as if he had practiced thousands of times; there were no superfluous actions, and every move was precise and skillful.

Gradually, the workers' expressions changed, from initial doubt and suspicion to shock, followed by a long silence.

Li Younan is incredibly efficient.

Moreover, the way he arranged each disassembled part was meticulously planned. As the saying goes, a true expert's skill is immediately apparent; the difference between taking ten minutes and two minutes to disassemble a part is night and day, while most of the people present took twenty minutes…

The scene fell completely silent. Li Younan worked quietly for a while, then looked up and said, "Everyone, go and rest first. I can't finish this matter in a short time."

Only then did Lu Haibo feel somewhat relieved to leave Li Younan alone here.

Although he was still puzzled, confused, and even had his worldview turned upside down... he coughed and said, "I, I'll go order you some takeout."

Li Younan worked for a while longer, and the two young workers had already left, but when he looked up, Master Yang was still standing there.

Noticing Li Younan's gaze, Master Yang's eyes darted away, and he coughed, saying, "I... I'll learn a bit."
