I'm not a drama god

"Li Wanhua!"

Inside an old car repair shop in the Chengtian Realm.

Li Shangfeng wiped the sweat from his face with a dirty towel and shouted towards the outside of the factory.

Occasionally, pedestrians would pass by the factory gate, peek inside curiously, and then continue on their way. Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Li Shangfeng took a deep breath and shouted a few times at the top of his lungs.

"Shouting so loudly! Are you trying to die?!"

A girl in a school uniform walked in from outside, looking annoyed.

Li Shangfeng grinned, holding a heavy, gear-like object in both hands. Unable to move, he could only gesture with his eyes to a certain spot, "Help me get that connecting part from the third shelf, quick."

"Li Shangfeng, I still have homework to do! If you need someone to help you with your work, can't you just hire an assistant?!"

Li Wanhua pouted unhappily, but still obediently walked to the shelf, skillfully searched through the parts, and tossed one to Li Shangfeng.

"Given our situation, how can we afford an assistant... Let's just make do." Li Shangfeng hooked the part with his toe, then firmly held it in his mouth and wedged it into the huge gear in his hand.

Li Wanhua, with her hands behind her back, strolled over to Li Shangfeng, examined the thing in his hands, and said with disdain:

"Where did you pick this thing from? It's hideous."

"Shh..." Li Shangfeng looked around, chuckled softly, and lowered his voice, "Do you know where this thing is stored?"

"where from?"

"Boundary Train!"

"?" Li Wanhua exclaimed in shock, "Li Shangfeng! You still dare to chip away at the parts of the Boundary Train?! Don't drag me into this if you're looking for death! I'm going to disown you right now..."

"Pah, what are you saying? This was sent over from the Imperial Observatory for me to repair."

"The Imperial Observatory? They're in charge of train maintenance?" Li Wanhua asked suspiciously. "What about the skilled craftsmen? Why aren't they fixing them?"

"Hmph, I doubt they can solve this kind of tricky problem either." Li Shangfeng waved his hand. "In the entire Chengtian Realm, who can do a better job than me when it comes to axis connections that are this precise?"

Seeing that Li Wanhua remained skeptical, Li Shangfeng added:

"Anyway, the price quoted by the Imperial Observatory isn't low. Once I fix this thing, I can take you out to buy a couple of nice outfits, hehe..."

"Who wants your clothes? If you order me around again, I'll disown you as my sister!"

Li Wanhua glared at him fiercely, then tossed her long, black hair and strode towards the door, saying, "Going to do my homework! Bye-bye!"

Li Shangfeng smiled helplessly and continued to fiddle with the parts in his hands.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The setting sun shone through the gate and cast its rays on the concrete floor of the factory.

At the same time, a figure wearing a brown coat and carrying a discreet briefcase arrived at the factory gate.

He looked up at the address on the factory door, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked around and walked inside... Li Shangfeng, who was engrossed in his work, noticed that someone was coming and immediately stood up.

"Hello, do you need your car repaired?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that this is the best car repair shop in the eastern district of the Chengtian Realm. No matter what kind of car you want to modify, I can modify it all here!"

"Today is our first anniversary! Order now and enjoy a 20% discount!!"

Li Shangfeng's face was full of smiles as he spoke earnestly.

The figure in brown carefully examined him for a few moments, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips:

"At such a young age, you're already running your own auto repair shop?"

“So what if I’m young?” Li Shangfeng said matter-of-factly. “You might not believe me, but I really am a genius in this field. Do you know the Imperial Observatory? They all come to me when they run into trouble!”

"Wow."

The figure in brown let out a fitting sigh.

"..." For some reason, Li Shangfeng felt somewhat displeased with the man in front of him.

"Are you here to get your car repaired or not?" Li Shangfeng glanced outside the factory. "Where's your car?"

"The car is in the garage, it hasn't been driven over yet, I'm just taking a look around first."

The figure in brown began pacing in the garage.

Li Shangfeng's eyes widened, and he knew that this was probably a penniless pauper pretending to be rich. Just as he was about to kick him out, the brown-clad figure shoved a gold bar into his arms.

"This is the deposit for the car repair. Please check if there are any problems."

Li Shangfeng froze on the spot.

He stared at the heavy gold bar in his hand, taking more than ten seconds to recover. It was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a large piece of gold, and his gaze toward the brown-clad figure was filled with shock!

"This...this...this is a bit too much...If it's just for repairing the car, you won't need this much..."

“I have a fleet of vehicles.”

The figure in brown responded calmly.

Li Shangfeng: ...

"Now, may I wander around as I please?" the figure in brown asked.

"Sure, of course, please feel free to do as you please!"

Li Shangfeng realized that he had really met a big shot this time. The young man could not hide his excitement. He was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down. He couldn't wait to take the gold bar to Li Wanhua and show it off.

Moreover, as long as you serve this big shot well, the future maintenance and upkeep of his entire racing team will be yours!

This is a long-term big spender!

Just as Li Shangfeng was overjoyed, the figure in brown was strolling leisurely through the factory with his hands behind his back.

The figure in brown was none other than Chen Ling after activating [Formless].

While Chen Ling was watching the ancient play, she used a thought experiment to find Liu Qingyan and asked her to help find Li Wanhua's location. In fact, Liu Qingyan didn't need to do anything special. She had already locked down the home address of Li Shangfeng, a former member of the club, a few years ago, and naturally included his sister Li Wanhua in the surveillance scope as well.

"strangeness……"

Why does it feel like the temperature has suddenly dropped?

Halfway through his joy, Li Shangfeng suddenly felt the surroundings getting colder and colder. He rubbed his bare arms together and looked suspiciously at the door.

Outside, it was still a quiet dusk. There was no cold front, no wind or rain. The glow of the setting sun shone on him, as if he were gilded with a layer of pale gold.

"Is my resistance getting weaker?" Li Shangfeng could only mutter to himself upon seeing this.

not far away,

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but smile.

His ruby-like eyes slowly gazed at Li Shangfeng's location... In the reflection of his eyes, a vast array of figures had already surrounded Li Shangfeng, leaving him no way to escape.

"Really? Is this a 9 of hearts??"

"Wow!! The 9 of Hearts from when I was little was so cute!"

"Waaaah, Little 9, come give your big sister a hug~~"

"To have opened such a big auto repair shop at such a young age, wow, no wonder he is a genius of the 'Skill God' path."

"Why does he seem so arrogant now? Was he always like this since he was a kid? No wonder he's grown up to be like a mad dog..."

"Such a cute little red heart, it would be adorable to be startled, right? Hehe..."

"..."
