Chapter 0009 Flooded Car
After dinner, Li Fanyu asked Li Ma for some money and sent Cheng Ke away.
He owned the X.APP which was too futuristic to be believed if he mentioned it to Li Ma. So Li Fanyu lied and decided to tell them after everything was settled.
After sending Cheng Ke away, Li Fanyu called Li Ma from downstairs, falsely claiming there was something going on at school and asked the old couple to take care of his uncle, then he went alone to the repair shop.
His uncle always kept a spare key behind the shop door, and Li Fanyu, familiar with the route, easily found it and opened the door.
In the deserted shop, Li Fanyu took out two tools from the program space and carefully examined the instructions for both.
【Universal Sheet Metal Repair Suction Cup】can perfectly repair automobile sheet metal damage. When in use, cover the suction cup over the damaged area and start it up.
【Universal Paint Repair Spray Gun】can perfectly repair automobile paint damage. When in use, align the spray gun's color adjustment panel with the paint surface for color matching, and then spray paint on the damaged area.
These tools were like bugs in the automotive repair world. With these two tools, even if things didn't work out, becoming an auto repair technician would still be quite lucrative!
Li Fanyu had a pig-like expression on his face, unconsciously plotting a way out for himself again.
But the immediate task at hand was important. Thinking of his uncle's strange situation, he took out the police contact card from his pocket and called the officer. He falsely claimed that he was willing to contact the other party on behalf of his uncle.
About two hours later, there was a honking outside the shop — presumably they had arrived.
Li Fanyu went out to take a look, and besides a damaged Mercedes, there was also a white SUV behind it.
With a bang of the car door, a tall and thin man got out of the car, leading a group of people straight into the shop.
Seeing Li Fanyu, the man casually threw the car keys on the ground and said, "I'm Wang Dong, Dongge. Heard you want to settle this privately? Fine! Here, the car is delivered to you. If it's fixed, then it's settled; if not... see you in court! Hmph, my time is limited, you have three days. After three days, I'll come to collect the car."
With that said, without waiting for Li Fanyu to speak, he waved his hand and left.
Li Fanyu picked up the keys, watched the group of people leave, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
This posture was familiar!
Obviously, it was a damn extortion!
Bastard!
But he didn't dwell on it for too long.
After the group left, he walked to the front of the car and carefully inspected the damage.
On the hood, there were several fist-sized dents, and inside the dents, the car paint had been completely smashed, exposing the primer, revealing the abrupt metallic base color.
Contrasted with the overall dark color of the car, these dents looked like ulcers, eliciting pity.
This Mercedes Y-series business sedan didn't originally exist, and Li Fanyu observed it with curiosity. The design concept was somewhat similar to the original Mercedes R-Class, but the lines were more rugged, and the size was larger.
Li Fanyu opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. It was his first time sitting in such a good car.
He couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of Mercedes. Even though reality had changed, the design of Mercedes was still outstanding. The genuine leather decoration and elegant center console reminded him constantly: I am Mercedes-Benz, I am the inventor of automobiles.
Li Fanyu found the ignition switch and pressed it lightly.
With a irregular tremor, "Hmm!" the engine sound started, and the car started.
"Huh?"
Li Fanyu was a little puzzled. What was this shaking? What was this huge engine sound?
On a car like this, this situation shouldn't happen, right?
Although he hadn't driven it before, Li Fanyu had a deep understanding of cars from his childhood experiences.
This situation was called trembling.
For cars of a slightly higher grade, this situation shouldn't happen.
Unless there was something wrong with the car.
Li Fanyu drove the car into the garage, turned off the engine, and got out of the car. Discovering this situation, he exhaled in confusion, activated his diagnostic specialization, and scanned the entire car.
After a moment, the virtual structure of the car appeared, which shocked Li Fanyu.
The structure of the car was dotted with red; from the engine cylindersSmall to air conditioning lines, all have problems!
This is simply a broken car with a beautiful appearance and shabby interior!
How could this happen?
Li Fanxiu opened the engine hood, ignoring the gloves, and followed the prompts to observe the problem areas one by one.
After looking through a dozen or so places, Li Fanxiu understood.
This is a flooded car!
The steel components, wiring, and engine inside all have varying degrees of rust. On some core components, there are also traces of refurbishment and cleaning. However, the repair traces are very subtle. If it weren't for the detailed prompts, they wouldn't be discernible to the naked eye.
Li Fanxiu had actually seen this kind of car before.
One year, there was heavy rain and the whole city was flooded, and many cars were submerged in water. After the flood receded, these flooded cars flowed into the second-hand car market.
At that time, his uncle's repair shop often repaired these types of cars.
Although such cars may not have major problems on the surface, driving them is a different story.
Due to the flooding, almost all the wires, engines, gearboxes, sensors, and connecting rods are prone to oxidation damage.
Even after drying and repair, these cars still have many problems. It's like a person who has undergone major surgery, their resistance to various aspects will decrease after the operation.
Therefore, the probability of problems occurring after a car has been submerged in water is much higher than that of a normal car.
It can be said that a car worth 1 million, driven for three years, would be valued at about 800,000 as a used car. But if it has been flooded, sold for 400,000, the seller would secretly rejoice.
Because the repair costs for such cars would be a significant expense.
Li Fanxiu wiped his oily hands and finally understood why they used this car as a trap.
Low cost! This car, in this condition, only the shell is worth anything.
He angrily closed the engine hood and cursed the bastard.
After calming down for a while, he decided not to care about these annoying details. Fixing the external damage and returning it would give them no reason to hassle his uncle.
If this dragged on, Li Fanxiu feared that the car would end up in his hands.
He took out a suction cup, and involuntarily, he was attracted by the black gloss on the surface of the suction cup. In his impression, he had never seen such exquisite metal. Even titanium alloy couldn't compare to this material.
Following the prompts, he aimed the suction cup at the dents on the car, attached it, and then activated the switch on the suction cup.
The suction cup worked, and the circular suction cup slowly began to rotate and emit a red light.
After about a dozen rotations, the light turned green and emitted a pleasant chirping sound.
Li Fanxiu removed the suction cup and cheered as he looked at the repaired area.
The dent, which was originally the size of a fist, had completely disappeared. Under the damaged paint, the sheet metal was smooth and flawless, restored to its original state.
This feeling was really satisfying, it was simply a godsend for perfectionists!
Seizing the opportunity, Li Fanxiu quickly repaired several dents, and he was looking forward to using the spray gun.
The material of the spray gun was the same as the suction cup, with a shape similar to a handheld fire extinguisher. At the top, there were two pipes, one end was a nozzle the size of a pistol, and the other end was a small brush. The brush was transparent, resembling a crystal.
Following the prompts, Li Fanxiu placed the brush on the intact paint surface and gently brushed it twice.
As the brush touched the car paint, the entire brush slowly turned the same color as the car. Li Fanxiu placed the brush on the hood. Without careful observation, one would think the brush was part of the car.
The color, from the hue to the reflection of the paint, and even the fluorescence in the paint, were all exactly the same.
After the color matching was completed according to the prompts, Li Fanxiu took a clean cloth and wiped the dust off the paint surface. He picked up the spray gun, aimed it at the damaged area, and pulled the switch.
After a burst of hissing, a miracle happened.
The repaired car was as shiny as new, as if it were born that way!
