Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

This world, filled with martial artists and technologically advanced, seems to have little impact on ordinary people. It's only in recent years, with resources being distributed to the upper echelons who are already incredibly wealthy, that there's a surplus left for the lower classes.

People at the bottom of society are no longer starving, and their income has increased considerably.

When Zhang Huolong was a child, those kids enjoyed tilting their heads up. In their eyes, it was perhaps a way to break the rules of entertainment, to show off their uniqueness, and to do crazy things at an age when they were seeking self-satisfaction.

Even now, Zhang Huolong occasionally takes Shen Qiangwei out to play like this.

From childhood, a desire to modify things had taken root in Zhang Huolong's heart.

His first vehicle was a traditional scooter, a gasoline-powered motorcycle.

Later, after dropping out of school, he worked as a passenger driver using an electric 125cc motorcycle.

After giving birth to Zhang Chaoqiang, he used a modified "Ghost Fire" motorcycle, which had strong power, to deliver food.

New regulations for electric vehicles were introduced, prohibiting gasoline-powered vehicles from the road, so Zhang Huolong completely switched to electric vehicles.

Electric cars are even better. After modifying the motor (which is the rear wheel), controller, battery, etc., they accelerate more powerfully and faster.

However, it was later punished again by traffic police regulations.

Even now, he can't move anything on his electric scooter. Because he still clings to the childlike ideal of riding in a car, he feels something's not quite right unless he modifies it…

And then, that damn thing appeared.

To be honest, Zhang Chaoqiang only found out in the last two years that Zhang Huolong's Ghost Fire had been modified to be so "awesome"...

Achieve the "Zhang Huolong's somewhat lackluster modification history" milestone, growth value +300.

[Far Ahead]: 4860/6000

As Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong reminisced back and forth, Zhang Chaoqiang surprisingly discovered that his growth value, which he hadn't paid much attention to for a long time, had increased.

The next stage is just around the corner. After each stage is completed, the increase in growth value will be slower compared to the previous stage.

However, it can bring him an increase in physical stats, spiritual power, and other aspects, as well as a faster increase in physical indices.

This is very important to Zhang Chaoqiang.

After the two finished reminiscing, Zhang Chaoqiang had a sudden inspiration: "Dad, have you ever thought about it? There's actually one more thing you could modify about your electric scooter?"

"Where?"

Zhang Huolong was very puzzled. Now that he was not allowed to touch anything related to the battery, motor, or wiring, what other way was there for him to start?

Stopping the modification is impossible, absolutely impossible. Zhang Huolong has always had a unique mindset, making him willing to ride the exact same electric bike as everyone else. That's impossible!

"From the perspective of the driving method."

"Drive method?"

Zhang Chaoqiang forced himself not to laugh out loud, and said seriously.

"Dad, you can remove the motor and battery completely and replace them with a human-powered one!"

"Human-driven?"

"It's like a bicycle, where you pedal to move the chain and drive the rear wheel. Dad, don't you think it's quite unique that the Ghost Fire looks like a bicycle but actually moves in the same way?

Who would have thought that beneath that unrestrained exterior lay such an embracing heart?

Embrace, ah, yes, embrace, Zhang Chaoqiang completely convinced himself.

From the initial fuel-powered system to electric power, and finally to human-powered power, it is indeed gradually embracing the world.

Zhang Huolong pondered for a moment, then smacked his lips and said thoughtfully, "Although modifying it according to Chaoqiang's idea is a bit stupid..."

*Slap* Shen Qiangwei gently patted Zhang Huolong's mouth, and the latter quickly corrected himself: "It's a bit silly, but the concept of embracing is really cool."

I can already imagine those people watching me ride my bike, and then falling into endless contemplation; they will ultimately be amazed by the depth of my inner world!

"It feels like the performance art performed by those so-called artists online, which makes people reflect. This is so interesting!"

Very well, Zhang Huolong's attention has been diverted by Zhang Chaoqiang, and this matter is now over.

That evening, Shen Qiangwei suppressed Zhang Huolong's urge to immediately run off and buy a new Ghostfire motorcycle for immediate modification:

"Hurry up and pack your things, we're leaving tomorrow!"

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong spent two hours cleaning up, but when Zhang Chaoqiang came out, it was still a mess…

To be honest, my parents have never traveled far from home.

But you shouldn't be unaware of what you should and shouldn't bring, right?

I opened the bulging suitcase…

Frying pan for cooking, shower gel and shampoo, insecticide...

fan…

Zhang Chaoqiang packed away all the unnecessary items.

Half an hour later, the two people and one child, along with two large suitcases, were enough.

Their most prized clothing was carefully wrapped together in plastic bags.

Zhang Chaoqiang took them out so they could wear them when they set off tomorrow.

The next day, 8 o'clock.

The flight was at 1 p.m., and Lao Chen and Tan Yue hadn't arrived yet. Shen Qiangwei, who had gotten up, checked her suitcase and found...

"Chaoqiang, why did you take the pot out of my suitcase?"

"And what about insecticides, shampoo, and oscillating fans?"

Zhang Chaoqiang: "..."

There's no need to bring these.

Thus, the two sides began to argue.

Shen Qiangwei kept emphasizing how useful the things she brought were. Goodness, it turns out that she and her father only had two sets of clothes and two sets of underwear; everything else was brought by Shen Qiangwei.

Only after Zhang Chaoqiang's insistence did Shen Qiangwei agree to completely let go of those inexplicable things.

"Mom, I think you might as well just move the whole house there. Then it can't be called a vacation anymore..."

Zhang Chaoqiang sometimes thought that if he could achieve growth goals like complaining now, he would definitely be able to complete them in a very short time.

Shen Qiangwei smiled shyly: "No need for that. I know very well what I can and cannot bring."

Just like with the dog, pets aren't allowed on airplanes, so I've decided to temporarily have it looked after by Han Han.

Awooo... The dog looked at Zhang Chaoqiang's family, who were dressed up and going out in their finest attire, and let out a helpless woof, seemingly very unhappy that it could only stay here.

"Super Mom, you're wrong. Who said you can't bring pets on airplanes?"

Old Chen's voice came from the stairwell. Shen Qiangwei opened the door and turned her head to look. She saw Tan Yue ahead of Old Chen, her cheerful footsteps tumbling up the steps and running towards the house.

"Zhang Chaoqiang's mother, Zhang Chaoqiang's father, Zhang Chaoqiang!"

After quickly exchanging greetings, Tan Yue called out "Lang Gou" again, then squatted down and vigorously stroked Lang Gou's head.

"Old Chen, aren't large pets not allowed on airplanes?"

Old Chen gave them a reassuring nod: "Large pets are not allowed, but hamsters are!"

Wow, it seems Old Chen is quite capable; he even managed to break this rule.

Langgou looked at Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong with great longing.

"Take her along, Tan Yue likes to play with Lang Gou."

"Then take it with you."

"It's almost time. We still have some time to get to the airport from here, let's set off."

Everyone glanced at the time; it was around nine o'clock. It just so happened that Zhang Huolong had arranged for Han Han to come over and take care of Langgou for a while.

Since it's no longer needed, and it's almost time for them to arrive anyway, I might as well go downstairs and tell them.

Meanwhile, Han Han and his two companions arrived right on time. Since learning the news yesterday, Han Wen has been in a state of constant excitement and has been unable to sleep at all.

The thought of Langgou falling into their hands, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhang Chaoqiang and his family to leave Tianan City, made him unable to suppress the urge to grin wildly upwards.

The cold wind howled, yet it felt warm against their skin. This was the feeling of a powerful martial artist.

Zhang Huolong, Shen Qiangwei, and Tan Yue, whose physique was even worse than Zhang Chaoqiang's, were coming downstairs.

They did feel the chill in the wind, which was quite biting.

February temperatures are ridiculously low. Even in Cheonan City in the southern region, the temperature is already around 2 degrees Celsius, not to mention Jungju City, which is closer to the north.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong didn't consider any of this; it was Zhang Chaoqiang who brought them the warm clothes.

Otherwise, in Zhongzhou City where the temperature is below zero, they would freeze to death.

"Phew, it's so cold..." Shen Qiangwei and Tan Yue said in unison, while Zhang Huolong also felt a bit cold, but he was more tolerant of it!

He couldn't very well shout in front of the children and women. He was about to take off his coat and give it to his wife when he suddenly felt a warm sensation, like being in the sun, even though there was no sun shining on him.

The more it is used and the more time it takes to master this skill, the more it will increase.

Now, Zhang Chaoqiang's ability to spread his attacks is increasing. The original 3-centimeter landing point of [Blinding Eyes] has been expanded to 5 centimeters, which is now the limit.

Now, with his skillful manipulation, it can spread more than 20 centimeters. In addition, he did not increase the temperature of [Burning Eyes] much, so when his burning eyes enveloped his parents and Tan Yue,

This can raise the body temperature of the three people, which is why they suddenly felt warm.

"Unexpectedly, this time, everything went exceptionally smoothly, M3!"

"There's another reaction, and this time it's very intense. It's not far ahead!"

They spotted Zhang Chaoqiang's family coming downstairs, leading their dog, Lang, on a leash.

Han Han was certain that his reaction just now was the slight movement made by the strange beast inside Lang Gou's body!

With an excited heart and trembling hands, even the usually composed Han Bing felt immense joy at this readily available gain.

However, in reality, the so-called reaction that Han Han received was generated by the "diffusion" effect used by Zhang Chaoqiang.

As soon as their eyes met, Zhang Huolong waved to Han Han and the other two.

"You two go have fun without worry. Leave Langgou to us, we'll definitely keep a close eye on him!" Han Wen said quickly before Han Han could even speak. He was overjoyed.

However, he was too happy too soon.
