Chapter 217: Chapter 154: So You Play Speeding Frenzy Too! (Part 2)
So he ended up with the na Xuan.
Looking back, he feels it’s a pity. If his grandfather hadn’t persuaded against it, he might have been traveling across Dou Qi Continent by now, returning to his youthful days to reach new heights.
But then again.
Every cloud has a silver lining!
Although he missed the chance of traveling to the Otherworld and becoming the Fla Emperor, his life now isn’t too bad either.
The elders at ho said they missed their grandson, so early this morning, Xiao Xuan got up and drove his wife and kid to his hotown.
It was all highway driving and they arrived quickly.
However, just after getting off the highway near his hotown on the national road, Xiao Xuan collided with a white sedan that was crossing the street.
Fortunately, the speed wasn’t fast, and they had seat belts on. It just left a dent on the car door and scraped so paint, but nothing major.
The other party was fully responsible. After the accident responsibility was clearly determined, since the other party didn’t want to go through insurance, they decided to settle privately.
"How about fifteen hundred?"
"Oh! Such a precise estimate?"
"Of course, I play Speeding Frenzy, and you can tell this kind of car damage at a glance. The repair costs at most a thousand, the rest is just my apology to you."
Upon hearing that the other party also played Speeding Frenzy, Xiao Xuan was taken aback, then laughed: "What a coincidence? I play Speeding Frenzy too!"
Upon hearing this, the two began to chat.
Since they are both veteran players, they’ve experienced in-ga crashes at least hundreds of tis, what accident haven’t they gone through?
For damage like this, it would cost at most a thousand in the ga, and that’s being generous.
"No way, did you two settle it so quickly?"
Seeing her husband settle the private negotiation with the other party in a few words, his wife was a bit surprised: "Shouldn’t you find a professional car repair person to look at it?"
"No need!"
Xiao Xuan, speechless: "Why find a professional? I’ve played Speeding Frenzy for two or three hundred hours, you need soone else to estimate this kind of car damage?"
Who do you think you’re underestimating?
Even if he can’t repair it, basic damage assessnt like this is not a problem, given the frequent in-ga crashes and his substantial real-world experience.
The other party is also a Speeding Frenzy player.
That’s why the negotiation went smoothly; after all, this car damage was obvious, and comparing it to in-ga repair costs, settling privately and agreeing on a price was effortless.
Spoiling people is impossible.
Firstly, Xiao Xuan’s upbringing doesn’t allow him to do such things, and secondly, trying to spoil soone in front of a Speeding Frenzy player?
What kind of international joke is that?
Everyone’s repaired cars countless tis in the ga; the basic repair costs are well-known—shouldn’t it be clear by now?
"You are enchanted by the ga! Repairing a car in-ga, isn’t the sa cost as real-life repairs?"
His wife was still dissatisfied.
It’s not that she wanted to play the bla ga; she just thought her husband handled things too hastily, the private settlent price should be reconsidered.
But with things at this point, there wasn’t much to say.
Back ho, handing the child over to the grandparents, Xiao Xuan took his wife and headed to the auto shop intending to repair the car and buy so snacks.
"It’s really a thousand?!"
Upon hearing the repair shop quote, which was exactly as her husband and the car owner said, Xiao Xuan’s wife was greatly shocked.
"I told you."
Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow: "I’ve repaired so many cars at Darun Market... oops! I an in Speeding Frenzy, I know these tricks better than anyone."
"He quotes a thousand, he’s making profit; had the quote been more than a thousand, I would’ve turned around imdiately, do you believe ?"
"Wow!"
His wife rolled her eyes: "You sure gain so self-confidence from playing gas, huh?"
"That’s why you don’t understand!"
Xiao Xuan didn’t bother to explain to his wife.
Only players who have played Speeding Frenzy, like the car owner who collided with him, know where his confidence cos from.
The most real physics engine is the primary reason; only the most real physics engine can make him aware of the approximate damage after a crash.
Secondly, in-ga, the entirely realistic repair process and the transparent parts pricing system.
In other words.
The sa car damage situation, real-life repair costs compared to the ga, only differ in terms of "labor cost".
That’s why he dared to say this.
He knew that for this car damage, a thousand is more than enough, and the repairman would still make a profit. More than a thousand would be treating him as a sucker.
In Speeding Frenzy’s online mode, many players run repair shops.
Xiao Xuan, who frequents these player-run shops for car repairs in-ga, roughly knows the standard labor costs. So he said, if this shop prices more than a thousand, he’d turn around and leave.
"You guys are really..."
The old repair master, hearing the young couple’s conversation, couldn’t help but interject: "I don’t know where you all learned this, one smarter than the next."
"Yesterday I t a young guy, just like you, he quoted a price right off the bat, even told
the labor and parts replacent cost precisely."
"The most absurd thing is, while I repaired the car, he even said my skills were lacking, he repaired cars faster in the ga."
"A whole set of theoretical knowledge, I handed him the tools to let him do it himself, he said he couldn’t, he wasn’t a repair guy..."
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Xuan couldn’t hold his laughter.
There’s no need to think, the person the master was talking about must also be a Speeding Frenzy player.
It’s the only explanation for why he’s so inford, with theoretical knowledge all set, yet couldn’t figure out even basic car repairs.
"What’s the na of the ga you guys play, sothing Frenzy..."
"Speeding Frenzy!"
"Oh yeah, Speeding Frenzy!"
The master sighed: "This ga is truly harmful, you say, how can anyone negotiate prices for car repairs anymore?"
The owner knows everything except how to repair themselves, even when encountering apprentice repairn, they can point out what needs disassembling and replacing...
My goodness!
The more the master thought, the more uncomfortable he beca, fearing that the car repair industry might collapse.
"Not really, most people are just bookish strategists. They read ga guides, filled with theoretical knowledge, but once in action, their shortcomings are exposed."
Xiao Xuan explained.
Although the Speeding Frenzy ga community is jokingly called the "auto repair crash course
