Chapter 25: Far Traveler

The weather today is not very good, it is cloudy, and there was a drizzle last night, so the ground is wet.

Buti and Lake had breakfast early in the morning, and Lake checked it one last time under Doka's instructions.

There isn't much in the backpack, just a change of clothes.

But even these things were stuffed to the brim, including spring, summer, and autumn clothes. If Buti hadn't promised that he could keep Lake warm in winter, Doka might have even put one or two more in his backpack.

A heavy winter coat.

Before setting off, Doka hesitated again and again but still did not choose to see Lake off. She kept mumbling about cleaning up the house for Martha and Aya, and did not dare to look at the reluctant child again.

"Lake, are you finally ready to go out?"

Lao Wei walked out of the hut on duty and pinched Lake's cheek. Because Lake's face was a little baby fat and chubby, it naturally became a way for Doka's friends to express their friendship to him.

"Uncle Wei, I don't know how long it will be before we meet next time. I have to leave for a long time this time."

Lake rarely evaded, and spoke in a low voice.

"It's great to be young, you can do whatever you want."

How could Wei, who stayed up most of the night with Doka, not know what Lake meant, but he was not Doka, and he was quite optimistic about the young man's passion.

"Lake! Here we come!"

Buti stood beside the cab and shouted loudly.

"Okay, kid, let's go! Have a safe journey. Listen to Mr. Buti's words more on the way. Don't just read books all day long. Life is still very long. There are plenty of books to read, and you can't go back after the time has passed."

Old Wei pushed Lake to the car and kept mumbling as he walked, Lake was the smartest and obedient among the children in their group. Everyone liked him very much, and at the same time, they also liked his big personality.

Bumai looked very distressed.

With this great opportunity in front of him, I would definitely advise him to take it seriously.

"I understand, Uncle Wei, why are you as nagging as my father? He has told me this several times."

"You kid." Lao Wei slapped Lake's butt vigorously, "After a while, you will be wishing we were nagging in your ears."

Lake rubbed his butt and looked at Lao Wei with a look of resentment. He was obviously a great young man, so why did he still treat him like a child?

"Okay, Lake. I need to explain something to you before we leave. There's a lot, but you have to listen."

Buti nodded to Wei, and then planned to tell Lake about his precious car before setting off to prevent this confused and curious baby from breaking something when he wasn't paying attention.

"Dad, do you want to talk to me now? Shouldn't it be started after I pass the test?"

After Lake heard this, he looked at Buti excitedly.

"It doesn't matter if you say it sooner or later, it's better to do it in advance. Maybe, this precious car will be yours from now on."

As expected, Buti was not surprised by his speculation. Lake was particularly curious about the Farstrider.

"Ah? I, am I still in the inspection period?"

Accidents always come so suddenly. The day before yesterday, I was still a reserve apprentice as mentioned by Father Buti. Today, I passed the inspection period and became my father's successor?

"It's broad daylight now, why are you just dreaming? What I mean is, if you pass my inspection and get my approval, you will be my disciple of Buti Stu!

Then study with me on a study tour, and then when I am old enough to be unable to walk, then this Far Traveler will belong to you.

But don’t be too happy. If you don’t pass my inspection, then I will only take you to travel for two or three years and then send you back here as an answer to your father Doka An. Lake, you understand

Yet?"

Lake didn't care whether he really understood what his father said, he just nodded his head as soon as he finished speaking.

"Okay, having said all that, I should introduce to you this precious car of mine. It is a RV that took me most of my life's savings to make."

"RV? You mean a car that can be used as a house? Well, it's really big enough. I don't think those large cargo-powered vehicles can compare to your car, dad."

Lake walked around the front of the car and looked at it carefully. It was the cab of a large van freight truck. The tires were very large and should have been specially made.

A rough estimate is that it must be nearly one meter, and what is unique is the way it is placed, with two in a group and four groups on the left and right.

"Tires are installed to enhance power. After all, a heavy carriage cannot work without some real stuff."

Buti noticed that Lake was really studying the wheels, so he patted the car behind him and explained to him.

"Then how to solve the power problem? I think this compartment is larger than the compartment of an ordinary large truck. The things in it are probably heavier than ordinary compartments."

Hearing this, Lake discovered a fatal problem with the car. If this RV was an enhanced version of a large truck, then its power would definitely be insufficient.

The most powerful power axle recorded in the journal "Element" can only pull five tons of objects. If there are two to three power axles installed under the cab, it is impossible to be so small, at least it will have to be more

One size up.

But the cab in front of me is only a little over two meters long, and the wheels are nothing special like those of an ordinary large truck.

"Hey, Lake, you have to know that although mechanics has only been around for more than a hundred years, elemental science has been around for thousands of years. It's not a good habit to forget elemental science after you have mechanics."

Buti released an elemental trick, and a small water ball slowly formed in his hand.

Looking at the water balloon in Buti's hand, Lake suddenly realized that he was too concerned about Buti's status as an expert in mechanics and had forgotten the fact that elemental science was the foundation of mechanics.

"If it's ancient elemental science, the method of solidifying elemental inscriptions should be used to strengthen the car body, whether it is to increase power or reduce load."

"The idea is very clear. I solidified the levitation technique directly on the outside of the rear compartment. You can see it in this large area. Although it cannot make the compartment float, it can indeed greatly reduce the demand for power."

Lake looked in the direction of Buti's finger. The lower part of the carriage was covered with colorful patterns. He originally thought that these patterns were decorations painted by his father himself, but he did not expect that these were actually elemental inscriptions.

He gestured with his fingers and roughly calculated the length of the rear compartment, which was probably more than six meters long. In terms of width, he couldn't even reach the sides of the front of the car with his hands stretched out, which was also more than two meters.

"No need to measure. Let me tell you that the carriage is six meters long, two meters wide and two meters high. Including the towing chassis and tires, the total height is two meters six. Nearly one-third of the manufacturing expenses are spent on

On top of this.”

Buti stood aside, watching Lake running around happily, and said with a smile.

"Ah? Only one-third? There are so many elemental inscriptions, and the solidified ones are high-level spells. How is it possible that only one-third is used?"

Lake didn't believe it, because curing a high-level spell requires a lot of materials and energy, and such a large carriage should require more than a little.

"I found many of the materials I used myself, and asked familiar friends to do the work. Can you tell me if it will be cheap? And I didn't say how much I spent."

Lake scratched his head and narrowed his eyes.

"Dad, don't tell me. Let me guess how much your Far Traveler cost."

"Okay, guess it. But let me explain beforehand, even if you guess it right, there will be no reward."

Buti put the backpack in his hand into the open compartment, sat on the open ladder, looked at Lake and smiled.

"Dad, I'm not that kind of person. But I guess it cost at least five thousand lindobutiers?"

"More than that, guess again."

"Ah? Five thousand isn't enough. That's fifty thousand coppers. The most expensive car I've ever seen at Lake Car Dealer is just over six thousand."

"Young man, let me tell you, I spent 10,000 yuan on this car! A total of 10,000 yuan, I have saved for decades, and this car cost me 77,888 yuan."

Lake stared at the old man in front of him in stunned silence. This was the first time he felt shocked.

"Dad, I didn't realize that you are so rich."

"That happened in the past, and I am a pauper now. Okay, let's get in the car. We should set off."
