Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 331 - 248 Little Surprise_2

Who?

I searched the internet for Feng Yi’s various news stories, and it does look a bit like him.

Feng Yi, who had returned to the mission team, didn’t pay attention to the online buzz. Although he saw the online topic in conversations with his butler and contacts, he didn’t look further. The heat would subside in a few days anyway.

Another week later, Feng Yi took some time off to return to Yang City.

He specifically came back to sign for a parcel.

When he returned last week, Uncle Zhen’s gift hadn’t arrived. According to Uncle Zhen, some formalities were still needed, and it would be delayed by two days before it could be delivered to his home.

Since the signature was required to be made in person by Feng Yi, he scheduled the delivery during his vacation time, so he made the trip back.

If it weren’t for the delivery, Feng Yi might not have been able to take this break. Since coming back from tomb-sweeping, he had become noticeably more efficient at catching sea snakes. The team leader was very pleased, and the team members’ enthusiasm for work increased, so they were reluctant to let Feng Yi go.

The delivery was made by a large truck. After contacting the property management, Feng Yi had the truck enter through a specified gate, where there was an area designated for large item inspection and delivery.

The delivery person confirmed Feng Yi’s identity and then unloaded the item.

It was then that Feng Yi finally saw the gift Uncle Zhen was talking about.

A car?

It was shaped like a sports car but slightly larger than a typical one.

The design of the front and the stripes and color combination of the body reflected elements of the natural king cobra to some degree.

It looked very cool.

Upon closer inspection, many parts of the body showed seams, but the pattern cleverly reduced the sense of assembly.

At this moment, a car came out of the community.

The people living here all had more than one car in their garages, and there were quite a few that played with sports cars. Seeing a car they had never seen before at the scene, they were all very curious.

Just coming out of the underground garage, a few young people who were originally planning to go out saw this unfamiliar model and were no longer in a hurry. They found a nearby empty ground parking space, pulled over, and parked.

They recognized Feng Yi, but their demeanor was calm. There were many celebrities living here, so they just treated each other as ordinary neighbors.

"Which brand is this car? What model is it?"

"Never seen it before, shall we go ask?"

Talking among themselves, they walked over towards Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was also surprised when he saw the car.

According to Uncle Zhen, this is just... a toy?

A scaled-up remote control car?

"Is there an instruction manual, or some kind of operating guide?" Feng Yi asked the delivery person.

"Ah? The boss said he would send you an electronic version. Has he not sent it yet?" the person said.

"I’ll ask."

Feng Yi sent a message to Uncle Zhen:

[Uncle, the car has arrived. Is this the main unit you were talking about? [Picture]]

Uncle Zhen quickly made a video call.

Feng Yi adjusted the camera towards the car.

Uncle Zhen: "Yes, yes, that’s it. However, you can’t get a license for it there and can’t drive it on the road. There are too many restrictions, so you can only play with it at home. If you have a private track, though, you could take it there for a test drive. I remember at the house by Cui Lake, there’s a rather large space in the courtyard."

"Then I’ll drive it back and try it in the courtyard," Feng Yi said.

"Don’t. I think this place is spacious and flat enough, quite suitable for a test drive. The courtyard is too small, plus there are flower beds and lawns; it’s okay for parking but not spacious enough for a test drive. I’ll send you the electronic manual later, you don’t need it for the inspection; I can guide you online, starting with, connect to the main unit..."

Uncle Zhen guided Feng Yi through the setup process online and explained that he hadn’t sent the electronic manual beforehand as he wanted to surprise Feng Yi.

After answering some questions, the delivery person left, freeing up even more space.

"Yep, it’s just a bigger remote control car. You can use remote control for automated driving, or switch to manual driving mode. In that mode, a real person can sit in and drive it, but it won’t be as good as a professional sports car. You’ll have to figure out the other features yourself; many are preset, and you can customize them later based on your preferences. The management interface also has an activation option. Yeah, that’s it; take your time experimenting, and you might encounter some little surprises," Uncle Zhen added.

Before Feng Yi could ask anything else, Uncle Zhen cut the video call.

This hurried appearance made me feel there might be pitfalls inside.

Feng Yi hesitated about whether to drive it back to his own courtyard to try it.

But the space here was indeed larger, which made test driving more convenient.

Seeing that Feng Yi hadn’t moved, a few young onlookers who had been watching came over to ask:

"Do you need help?"

"How about driving it out for a trial?"

Feng Yi said, "No license plate, can’t hit the road. This is just a toy car."

"Toy car?!" A young man nearby exclaimed in surprise.

"I was wondering why I’d never seen it before. No wonder, tsk, that texture, it’s a big-time operation!"

Knowing it was a toy car, their curiosity grew even stronger.

"Then just try it here! The space is quite alright, and there are no other cars blocking the way. Even if it’s a toy car, you still have to test it to see if there’s anything wrong with it!"

Feng Yi thought to himself: Fine, I’ll test it here.

However, just to be safe, he asked the few young onlookers to step back a bit, so that in case of any sudden emergency, they would be able to duck out of harm’s way.

After they stepped back, Feng Yi also moved a bit further away, and then pressed the activation option that Uncle Zhen had mentioned.

Beep—

The car lights flickered, and then, amidst a symphony of moving and assembling parts, it transformed into a standing giant robot.

Feng Yi: "..."

Ah, just as I thought.

Viewing those joints on the car’s body, he had guessed it might be something like this.

It wasn’t exactly a novel concept; people had been playing with these types of modifications for years, but compared to the older models from back then, the one in front of him was cooler, more cutting-edge, more rugged and domineering!

That is to say, it had a higher aesthetic value.

He didn’t know about the performance, though.

"Cool!" one of the onlooking young men sighed.

To some people, it was just a fancy stunt toy car, but with its exquisite flexibility and enhanced practicality over previous trial modifications, it was still very tempting!

Someone came over, wanting to have a closer look.

The robot’s eyes hummed to life, its head turned, and its eyeballs scanned left and right, as if recognizing the people nearby.

The crowd of onlookers quietly watched it at this moment.

Feng Yi, meanwhile, was paying attention to the dial on his watch, which changed from "Scanning" to "Confirmed."

The robot’s eyes finally settled on Feng Yi, it went down on one knee, and performed a knight’s salute. The cold hardness of metal seemed to engulf him, as if a warrior clad in armor was expressing its loyalty.

Then, a clear, sweet, soft, and cute voice rang out, carrying far across the spacious area:

"Are you my master~~"

The scene fell silent.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Feng Yi, their looks filled with deep meaning: [We didn’t know this was your taste!]

Feng Yi: I’m not, I didn’t!

He frantically flipped through the interface on his watch, looking for how to change the voice mode.

The rugged, sharp-edged robot in front of him continued with its sickeningly sweet voice:

"I’m really happy to serve you~~"

Feng Yi: ...

Shut up!

Just morph back already!
