SRGA Chapter 16 Master-level Driving Skills
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian was thrilled. With nearly one hundred thousand yuan in tips, he could keep about sixty thousand, which could alleviate his urgent financial situation.
"I should use this money to buy a better erhu. The fans are giving this money because they want to hear better music," Lin Tian thought to himself.
"I wonder if Mr. Wu has any connections to get me a better erhu in the price range of ten thousand?" Lin Tian messaged Mr. Wu.
The level he was looking for was already at the performance level, and it was unlikely to be found in ordinary stores. Even if the price was right, the quality might not be guaranteed.
Mr. Wu didn't reply immediately, so Lin Tian went to the store.
Luo Bingning had already picked out clothes for him.
"Lin Tian, try this set on and see if the size fits."
"Sure."
Lin Tian quickly went to the fitting room with the clothes.
Glancing at the prices, both the clothes and pants were over a thousand yuan each. In the summer, his clothes usually didn't exceed two hundred yuan in total.
Lin Tian felt warm inside.
Luo Bingning's credit card was frozen, so if she spent more on him, she would have to cut back on her own expenses.
"Bingning, how does it look?"
Lin Tian quickly changed into the clothes and came out.
Luo Bingning's eyes lit up. "You look great. It seems like you suit their clothes."
"Try this set too."
Luo Bingning handed another set of clothes to Lin Tian.
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian had tried on three sets of clothes.
All three sets fit quite well, and Luo Bingning was very satisfied.
"These three sets will do. Wrap them up."
Luo Bingning instructed.
Lin Tian was surprised. He thought Luo Bingning was only going to buy one set, but she ended up buying all three sets of clothes to give to him.
"Bingning, one set is enough."
Lin Tian whispered to Luo Bingning. The three sets together cost seven or eight thousand yuan, and Luo Bingning's monthly salary was only twenty thousand yuan.
"How could one set be enough?"
"The property fees are prepaid until next month. After buying clothes for you, I still have over ten thousand yuan left this month, which should be enough for me."
Luo Bingning said as she walked towards the checkout counter.
Her credit card was frozen, and she didn't have a bank card. She just wasn't used to saving money, so there wasn't much in her bank account.
"Alright, let's buy them all."
"I should be able to afford a monthly income of ten thousand yuan."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
Today's tips were unexpectedly high, but Lin Tian believed that once he changed his erhu, his income would return to normal levels.
Even if it decreased, even if he didn't endorse products or take advertisements, with his number of fans, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month should be no problem.
"Let's go buy a few pairs of shoes."
Luo Bingning called Lin Tian, and they went to another shoe store.
Half an hour later, Luo Bingning bought three pairs of shoes for Lin Tian, spending another five thousand yuan, which was most of her salary for the month.
"Let's go, back home."
"I'll have to tighten my belt this month."
Luo Bingning calculated silently. There were still twenty-five days until the next payday, and there was less than ten thousand yuan left in her bank account.
For someone who usually spends over a hundred thousand yuan a month, ten thousand yuan is quite tight.
"Eating frugally isn't necessary. We have food and drink at home. I can't earn big money, but earning some pocket money shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
The two quickly drove back home, with Lin Tian sitting in the passenger seat, looking at Luo Bingning's profile with a faint smile on his face.
"Lin Tian... what are you looking at?"
Luo Bingning's face turned slightly red as she asked.
Most people couldn't tell at night, but Lin Tian could see quite clearly.
"I'm looking at a beauty."
"Experts say that looking at beautiful women can prolong your life."
Lin Tian chuckled.
"Do you believe what the experts say?"
Luo Bingning asked with a coquettish tone.
Just then, a treasure chest slowly appeared above Luo Bingning's head. The chest was bronze in color and looked quite exquisite.
"Hmm?"
Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised to see another treasure chest appear.
He hadn't been with Luo Bingning for long, but if treasure chests continued to appear at such a high rate, that would be fantastic.
Even if it was only one per month, it would still be great.
Soon, Lin Tian touched the treasure chest.
"Ding, Bronze Treasure Chest opened."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining master-level driving skills."
A large amount of information flooded Lin Tian's mind, providing him with countless driving-related skills. Whether it was motorcycles, cars, trucks, or even tanks, he could drive them all. And his driving skills had reached the master level.
While a master-level martial skill was powerful, Lin Tian estimated that even if his driving skills didn't reach the level of a "car god," they would still be world-class.
Luo Bingning's driving skills had seemed quite good to Lin Tian before, but now he noticed many flaws.
Of course, for ordinary driving, Luo Bingning's skills were more than sufficient.
"Master-level martial skills come from silver treasure chests, while master-level driving skills come from bronze treasure chests. It seems that the chests correspond not to the level, but to the difficulty of improvement or the value of the items."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
Master-level martial skills were powerful, but master-level driving skills were clearly inferior in terms of difficulty of improvement and value.
"Hmm—"
Luo Bingning suddenly groaned in pain, her face contorted in agony.
"Bingning, what's wrong?"
Lin Tian asked quickly.
Luo Bingning pulled over to the side of the road. Her hand tightly gripped the steering wheel. "I have stomach pain. Can you drive for a while?"
"It's okay to bump around a bit. We have insurance."
Lin Tian nodded and quickly took over the driver's seat. With his expert-level driving skills, the car moved smoothly and swiftly through the traffic, faster than the other cars.
Despite her discomfort, Luo Bingning noticed this.
Lin Tian drove fast and steadily.
This didn't seem like the driving of a novice.
But Luo Bingning knew Lin Tian's background. If he had never touched a steering wheel before getting his driver's license, he shouldn't be this good.
After about ten minutes, Lin Tian drove the car back to the residential area.
"Lin Tian, your driving skills are surprisingly good. Aren't you a novice? Most experienced drivers can't drive as well as you."
Luo Bingning said in astonishment, feeling a bit better after resting for a while.
Lin Tian smiled, "If I can't find a good job, it seems like I can go work for Didi or deliver food. It's also a good choice."
Luo Bingning regretfully said, "You have a natural talent for this. If you had been trained from a young age
, maybe you could have become a racing driver."
"But racing is dangerous, so it's better not to do it."
Back at home, Luo Bingning lay down on the sofa.
"Lin Tian, can you pour me a glass of warm water?"
"Sure."
Lin Tian quickly poured water for Luo Bingning. After she finished drinking, she lay down again, her brow furrowed in pain as her stomach continued to ache.
"Bingning, let me check your pulse."
Lin Tian said, pressing his hand against Luo Bingning's wrist pulse.
As a master of martial arts, pulse diagnosis was a basic skill. How could someone become a master of martial arts without understanding the human body?
"Lin Tian, you know pulse diagnosis?"
Luo Bingning was very surprised. In traditional Chinese medicine, only one in ten people knew how to diagnose pulses, and many of the ancient practices were gradually being lost.
"I studied it by reading books."
Lin Tian replied.
Luo Bingning: "..."
If any other man had said that, she would have pulled her hand back. Saying he learned from books, was he trying to take advantage of her by checking her pulse?
"Hmm?"
Lin Tian frowned.
The result of his pulse diagnosis showed that there was something in Luo Bingning's Dantian.
