The God of Wealth: The growth journey of the poor white rich beauty

While several other heavily modified off-road vehicles were tearing through the sand and sea in the deep gullies and ridges, Bai Tang was driving the 570 with Li Wenwen and Shi Mei, having a blast. The vast, flat desert was littered with Bai Tang's tire tracks.

During this time, Li Wenwen and Shi Mei also switched places with Bai Tang and drove several laps. Shi Mei even drove up a few small gentle slopes, which made Bai Tang very excited.

It can be seen that Shi Mei and Li Wenwen have good driving skills in the desert. After all, they have been to the desert many times with the team before. The boys have more or less taught them some tips on driving in the desert. Driving on flat areas and even going up a few small slopes are not a problem.

Bai Tang looked at the off-road vehicle on the high slope in the distance, which was rushing through the sea of ​​sand as if riding the wind and waves, and the envy and desire in his eyes could not be hidden.

Li Wenwen was amused by Bai Tang's expression. "Oh, don't be envious. Play more and learn more, and you can be as good as them in the future."

Bai Tang nodded at that. Then he pointed at Zheng Long and his team's SUV and said, "What's that tall flagpole on their car for? I think almost every car has one."

Shi Mei, who was driving down a gentle slope, replied smoothly, "You're talking about the flagpole? That's so important. It's essential for navigation, rescue, and avoiding danger."

"In fact, there are many sand slopes and hills in the desert. When vehicles are driving in the desert, they often cannot see each other because of a small sandbag between them. With this tall pole, vehicles can spot each other in advance and avoid the risk of collisions in advance."

"Similarly, when a convoy is moving forward, the following vehicle may lose sight of the vehicle in front, but it can see the flagpole and thus know where the vehicle in front is, so it won't lose track. Also, if a vehicle gets stuck, the rescue vehicle can also find the vehicle being rescued by looking for the flagpole."

After listening to Shi Mei's detailed explanation, Bai Tang suddenly realized what was happening. As expected, every little detail in real life has its own lessons learned and its own necessity. If Shi Mei hadn't explained it to her, she would have always believed that the tall flagpole was only installed for show.

"That's why we didn't let your car go deep into the sand," Li Wenwen continued. "Because your car is the original one with the original tires and no safety equipment. And most importantly, you just got your driver's license and aren't even familiar with highway driving yet, let alone desert driving. We were worried about letting you drive in."

"We've seen horrific desert car accidents before when we were together. Entire cars tumbled dozens of times down steep slopes, and people who weren't wearing seatbelts were thrown out. I've also seen two cars collide simultaneously when they rushed up a sand slope from opposite sides without safety poles." Li Wenwen patted her chest with lingering fear. "I was watching from a distance and was terrified. The person was thrown out of the rolling car and flew a long way."

Shi Mei drove the car back to the starting point. The three of them got out of the car and sat in the shade created by the car body, drinking water and chatting.

"It turns out playing with sand is so dangerous."

"Yes, many people think that driving in the desert, where there are no roads and no one is watching, must be very safe. But that's not true. Every year, there are cars and people who stay in the deep desert forever."

Just then, a car, churning up a trail of yellow dust, drove up in front of the three of them. The flying sand startled the three of them, forcing them to scramble to avoid it. Zheng Long got out of the car and invited Bai Tang aboard, promising to take her on a real sandboarding adventure.

Bai Tang cheered happily, stuffed the water bottle into Shi Mei's arms, and climbed into the passenger seat. Then, with the help of Li Wenwen, he fastened his seat belt securely.

After calling Zheng Long, Li Wenwen made sure to drive slowly so as not to scare Bai Tang. Zheng Long, naturally wanting to perform well in front of Li Wenwen, quickly patted his chest to make a promise.

For the next half hour, Bai Tang's screams echoed across the high slopes, deep gullies, and sharp edges of the nearby desert. Everyone stopped driving and parked to watch Zheng Long sprint through the sea of ​​sand.

When Zheng Long drove the car back to the gathering place, Li Wenwen and Shi Mei hurried over to help Bai Tang out of the car.

At this moment, Bai Tang was so excited that her whole body turned red, and her face was covered with sweat and sand. Although her legs were a little weak, she was not afraid at all.

Zheng Long got out of the car with an embarrassed smile, rubbing the back of his head. Li Wenwen rolled her eyes at him. Ding Wei, amused, started to make fun of him.

After Bai Tang recovered his breath, Zheng Long also gave Ding Wei a beating. Zhang Shaoyang quickly handed Bai Tang a bottle of water, telling him to drink at least a little to avoid dehydration and heatstroke.

Bai Tang drank a few sips of water, stood up and jumped around to shake off the sand on his body and head, then still excitedly asked Zheng Long and Zhang Shaoyang what they were going to play next.

Li Wenwen and Shi Mei looked at each other and knew it in their hearts. This was Bai Tang who had truly opened up some of her defenses. Although she still felt isolated and introverted around strangers, once they got familiar with her, or accepted her, she was like a little sun, enthusiastic and full of energy.

Although Zhang Shaoyang was also surprised by Bai Tang's change, he still told her that it was almost noon and everyone should go to the farm house they had booked in advance to rest and then have lunch.

By the way, the farm stay we are about to visit is run by a relative of Ding Wei.

They organized the team, called the roll, and cleaned up the garbage. Then Bai Tang saw Ding Wei bring the air pump and pump up the pressure in all four of her tires again.

Zheng Long assigned someone else to drive. He took over Bai Tang's 570. Bai Tang gave the passenger seat to Li Wenwen, while she and Shi Mei sat in the back. This earned Zheng Long a subtle thumbs-up.

The convoy set off, led by Ding Wei's old 212 jeep, and continued westward along the riverside highway.

In the car, Bai Tang asked Zheng Long: "Brother Long, if I also want to continue playing in the desert in the future, how should I modify the car and what preparations should I make?"

Zheng Long thought for a moment while driving and said, "Strictly speaking, your 570 isn't very suitable. It's more geared towards highway driving."

"I can see you're not short of money. If possible, it would be best to buy a new car. This 570 is too wasteful to play in the sand, regardless of whether it's suitable."

"Also, strictly speaking, there are two types of off-road vehicle enthusiasts. One is the cross-country type, like us, who drive through sand dunes, into uninhabited areas, and on long-distance self-drive trips. The other type is the climbing type, and those people spend even more money."

When Bai Tang heard that there was a new point of knowledge, he hurriedly urged Zheng Long to explain it in detail.

As Zheng Long slowly recounted his story, a new door opened up for Bai Tang. It turned out there were so many details to learn about. Meanwhile, Bai Tang also learned from Zheng Long about some off-roading holy places, off-roading events, and some gossip and anecdotes within the industry.

Zheng Long told Bai Tang, "If you're talking about time travel, there are many suitable models, and the prices vary greatly. For cheaper options, you can choose the old Haval H3 and H5 series, the old 212 like Ding Wei, the old Jeep Cherokee, and so on. There are many."

"For something more expensive, you can choose a Pajero. Shaoyang's Prado is also fine. A Wrangler or Land Cruiser is also fine."

"There are also some like the Patrol Y62, Land Rover Discovery 4, Land Rover Defender, and even the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but they are too expensive."
