CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 373: PROFESSIONAL MOTORCYCLIST SKILLS_2

Very quickly, she resolutely shook her head, her attitude firm:

"No way, I’ve been riding motorcycles for less than a year, going too fast is dangerous.

Think about it, you’re someone worth billions, how could I actually let you get hurt on my bike."

Li Jing looked at Sophie seriously, understanding that her concerns were genuine and not perfunctory.

He pondered for a moment, suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

Previously, Li Jing had received a system message saying he could exchange money for points, though it cost two billion for one point, a high price.

But recalling the skills he drew previously with points, those skills brought value far beyond monetary costs.

Moreover, if this task fails, the lavish rewards of the second phase will be gone, and the loss wouldn’t be trivial.

Thinking this way, he had to find a way to achieve his goal no matter what.

He stood by the seaside, the wind blowing loudly, waves crashing against the shore, but he was too busy to care about these, quickly activating the system in his mind.

Searching the system interface with his gaze, sure enough, he found the motorcycle riding skill item.

There was a note attached to the skill, stating that extracting this designated skill requires five points.

Li Jing silently calculated in his mind, five points equate to ten billion.

Spending ten billion to exchange for professional rider motorcycle riding experience, perhaps only he would be "extravagant" like this.

But thinking about the task goal, after hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind, decisively operated the system to exchange ten billion for five points, then drew the skill of professional rider experience.

The whole process took but a moment.

Instantly, a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Li Jing felt as if a brand new knowledge system had been implanted into his mind, those complex motorcycle riding techniques, and experiences for handling various road conditions, suddenly became extremely familiar.

His body also seemed to be reshaped, muscles seemed to have memory.

Although he couldn’t specify the changes for the moment, relying on past experiences with system skills, he was definite that he could now ride a motorcycle more proficiently than most.

After spending 10 billion, Li Jing checked his account, currently, he still had over 105 billion in savings left.

Seeing his assets shrink by nearly one-tenth, his heart ached a bit.

Once thinking 100 billion was an astronomical number that couldn’t be spent, now it seems that exchanging several designated skills would rapidly deplete his wealth.

Thinking about going abroad for travel later, where he may encounter various unexpected situations, he couldn’t help but think to himself, it seems he still needs to earn more money.

Seeing Li Jing silent beside her, Sophie couldn’t help but ask with concern: "What’s wrong?"

She assumed Li Jing’s mood was down because he couldn’t speed up, stepping forward to explain and comfort:

"Alright, the speed earlier was already exciting enough, safety comes first after all. You’re the affluent one, easily getting injured here won’t do.

How about this, I’ll practice more during this period, and six months later when you come find me, I’ll definitely let you experience faster speeds, okay?"

Looking at Sophie earnestly comforting him, Li Jing felt amused, and subconsciously reached out to pinch her face gently.

Sophie was stunned by this sudden intimate gesture, then quickly pushed Li Jing’s hand away, her cheeks slightly reddened, pouting:

"What’s up with that, don’t you know men and women shouldn’t be so forward?"

Li Jing’s lips curved into a smile, responding: "I was already holding your waist, what’s a little pinch on your face? Besides, you looked so cute earlier, I couldn’t resist."

Sophie put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes dramatically: "You couldn’t resist so you can touch like that? Really are a scumbag."

Despite saying this, she wasn’t truly angry, but rather showed a tinge of bashfulness in her demeanor.

Li Jing took in Sophie’s subtle shift and said nothing more, instead asked:

"Your bike seems different from others, does a better bike mean faster speed?"

Although Sophie didn’t understand why Li Jing was asking this, she still nodded:

"Of course, if you buy a better bike, its performance would be more exceptional in every aspect, speed would naturally be faster."

Li Jing nodded again, then asked: "Did you buy this bike? Didn’t we fly by helicopter to Yashi earlier, where did this bike come from?"

Sophie explained: "I borrowed it from a friend specifically for you to experience riding a motorcycle.

My friend opened a motorcycle shop; she usually sells but doesn’t rent, I had to coax her for quite a while before she agreed.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the chance to enjoy the thrill of riding a motorcycle."

Hearing this, Li Jing’s heart was moved, then he said:

"How about you take me to see your friend’s shop, to check if there are other motorcycles."

Sophie was full of doubts, and pursued: "Why go there to look at motorcycles?"

Li Jing smiled but didn’t explain, instead teased: "What’s up, your friend is your boyfriend? Feeling embarrassed letting me meet him."

At hearing this, Sophie immediately widened her eyes, like a cat with its tail trodden on, retorted:

"She is a girl, alright, don’t talk nonsense. I’m still single now, where would I get a boyfriend."

While saying this, she rolled her eyes at Li Jing and muttered under her breath, "You think everyone is like you, surrounded by so many partners, I’m not a scumbag female, I’m devoted in relationships."

Li Jing found the seriousness of her words quite amusing, and quickly appeased:

"Alright, you’re the most devoted. Quickly take me to your friend’s place, I just want to check out other motorcycles."

Sophie couldn’t beat him, so she had no choice but to remount the motorcycle, taking Li Jing to her friend’s shop.

The shop wasn’t far from where they were, just a few kilometers away.

Upon arrival, Sophie’s friend immediately greeted her with a smile, as if she were a breeze.

She looked a good six or seven years older than Sophie, with an ordinary appearance but a keen intelligence, clearly adept at socializing, with high emotional intelligence.

Seeing Sophie and Li Jing come together, she was warm and lively, as if meeting a dear friend after a long absence, beginning conversations naturally and heartily, without making the two feel uncomfortable.

After a brief chat, Li Jing learned her name was Wang Yazi.

Apparently, she met Sophie when Sophie was an air stewardess on a plane; strictly speaking, they’re not particularly close, just ordinary friends.

Nevertheless, Wang Yazi was particularly good at making friends, though she hadn’t known Sophie long, interacting as if they were longtime best friends, willing to break her no-rental policy for Sophie, it was no wonder Sophie trusted her so much.

When Wang Yazi discovered Li Jing wanted to look at the shop’s most expensive motorcycle, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn’t ask much, astutely beginning her introduction.

She enthusiastically led Li Jing to the stock area, introducing a motorcycle with a cool design, which was also the priciest one in her shop currently.

Wang Yazi pointed to the cool motorcycle in front and explained: "This Kawasaki NINJA 400, equipped with a twin-cylinder water-cooled engine, powerful, flexible handling, high aesthetic appeal, favored by many motorcycle enthusiasts..."

Add after listening to the introduction, Li Jing nodded slightly, turning to look at Sophie beside him.

Only to see Sophie’s eyes sparkling slightly, staring intently at the motorcycle, full of affection.

Li Jing asked with a smile: "So, you really like this motorcycle?"

Sophie snapped back to reality, pouting: "Of course I like it, this is the dream bike for many people.

But it’s really expensive, I’ll save for another year or two for the Honda I rented; I should have enough then."

Wang Yazi didn’t push them to buy the expensive bike, with high emotional intelligence, she echoed:

"Buying a Honda is more than enough for a young girl like Sophie.

Young people don’t need fast bikes, that one’s performance should satisfy most situations, perfect for daily fun, not like you need a professional rider."

Sophie heard that and smiled happily, nodding repeatedly, clearly finding the words comforting.

While Li Jing saw Sophie’s affection for the Kawasaki, he spoke to Wang Yazi:

"Boss Wang, if I buy this motorcycle now, can I take it with me immediately?"
