ABT Chapter 0027 The Cycle Dilemma

Lin Lei had just finished a meeting, and this case was just too smooth; from receiving the tip-off, to seizing the stolen cars, to capturing the mastermind, the whole process didn't take more than an hour! Lin Lei had been in criminal investigation for over twenty years, and he had never handled a case like this.

The leaders of the bureau and the city praised the efficiency of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and as the main hero, Lin Lei naturally felt good.

As he walked out of the meeting room, he immediately dialed a number, "Hey? Li Fanyu, I was just in a meeting. How could you disturb me? You're our hero! How to handle those smuggled cars? Of course, they will be auctioned off by the court! What, do you have any ideas?"

Li Fanyu tentatively asked, "Um... I want to ask, if they're auctioned, how much can one of these cars sell for?"

Lin Lei sighed like he had a toothache, "I looked at those cars this morning, those damn bastards, they cut the frames of the cars like cakes, and the machinery inside is severely damaged. Similar cars auctioned by the court before, if nothing unexpected happens, will only sell for tens of thousands each."

Li Fanyu was greatly surprised, "So cheap?!"

Lin Lei frowned, "You brat, are you interested in buying to drive? Let me tell you, you mustn't buy such cars. These cars are usually bought by 4S stores, dismantled, and sold for parts. It's too dangerous to drive them yourself, it's like playing with your life."

Li Fanyu felt a warmth in his heart at the words and hurriedly explained, "No no, my uncle owns a repair shop, and he also plans to sell parts."

Only then did Lin Lei generously say, "That's okay, the case isn't over yet, I'll keep an eye on it for you. If everything goes smoothly, it'll probably be resolved in a little over ten days. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news from the court."

Li Fanyu hung up the phone and calculated in his mind.

Over a hundred and twenty cars, even if each one sells for 80,000, that's still over ten million! He only had 4 million from making movies, and his mom gave him 2,000 yuan for living expenses, totaling only 4,002,000 yuan...

He looked around the dormitory, the eldest brother was playing Lol, the second brother was washing his underwear, and the third brother was cooking instant noodles.

He cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, there's something I want to ask you for."

The three beasts didn't even raise their heads, "What's up, speak!"

Li Fanyu said, "Brothers, I want to do something big, but I'm short of money. Can you guys chip in?"

The three beasts still didn't raise their heads, "How much, tell us!"

Li Fanyu said, "About six million..."

The three beasts raised their heads and focused their gaze on him.

After a while, the eldest brother spoke, "Brother wants to start a business, as brothers, I must support him!"

The second and third brothers: "..."

The eldest brother slapped his thigh, stood up, and said, "In that case, Benben, you go to the intersection, get hit by a car and kill yourself, and the three of us will burn the money to you at night."

The second and third brothers: "Right!" "Yeah!"

Li Fanyu: "..."

A penny can stump a hero, let alone six million.

Li Fanyu calculated repeatedly, thinking about his savings, and then thinking about those shiny luxury cars, his heart twitched.

That feeling was like having half of the concubines he raised about to be snatched away by an outsider.

Damn, it hurts.

Unable to come up with a solution, Li Fanyu entered Xapp.

The points were slowly increasing at a rate of over two hundred per day, and the total was almost reaching 1000.

Without thinking, it was definitely the contribution of the taxi drivers.

The rest of the items were quietly displayed there, and Li Fanyu flipped through them repeatedly. Currently, all his possessions were here, but relying on these things to make six million in a short time was nothing but wishful thinking.

He certainly couldn't stand on the roadside with a suction cup and spray gun, foolishly flagging down cars and asking, "Master, need bodywork repair? Five hundred bucks each time, a thousand bucks for overnight service..." Ugh, that's just like a massage parlor...

Now, the only way to make a quick profit was that universal component repair device. But the prerequisite for making a quick profit was to seize this batch of smuggled cars. And the prerequisite for seizing this batch of smuggled cars was to make six million in a short time...

Well, this was simply a dead-end loop.

Just as Li Fanyu worried about money, the screen in his space flashed.

Li Fanyu approached to take a look; hey, another task!

"Your points are nearing 1000, about to reach level 3. You need to complete a preliminary task to level up. Task content: Obtain any award in the automotive field. (The award must be internationally recognized.)"

WTF! How can an internationally recognized award be called "any award"? This task seemed so casual, but then came a sudden twist. What kind of task is this!

Li Fanyu almost went crazy in the dark space. Where am I supposed to go to get an award? Can you at least give me a hint? Just a snap, and you want me to challenge the world, is that really appropriate?

Annoyed, he exited the space and calmed down, carefully sorting out the situation. The task must be completed, or else he wouldn't be able to continue leveling up, and his tech tree would remain stagnant.

Now, he needed to figure out where he could obtain an award related to automobiles.

Li Fanyu opened his computer and quickly searched for any recent car exhibitions or forums.

After searching for more than half an hour, he finally found some useful information.

"The Frankfurt Motor Show will be held this September..."

Oh my god, are you telling me to go to Frankfurt? That's the world's largest car exhibition, known as the Olympics of the automotive industry! Major car manufacturers from Europe, America, Japan, and Korea, as long as they're reputable, all attend this grand event.

I don't have a brand or a manufacturer, Xapp, can't you be a little more merciful?

Just as Li Fanyu was going crazy on his bed, someone outside shouted, "Come and watch, Professor Zhang and the school leaders are having a fight!"

Li Fanyu perked up, which Professor Zhang? Could it be the Professor Zhang from the history of automotive industry?

He immediately put on his slippers and ran towards the school office building with the students.

Outside the office building, Professor Zhang, panting, was confronting the vice president.

Seeing more and more students gathering, the two were pulled back into the building by other teachers.

The two department heads dispersed the crowd with stern expressions.

By the time Li Fanyu arrived, the crowd was already dispersing. The school was the best breeding ground for gossip.

As the students walked and talked, they discussed the recent dispute.

"What happened just now, classmate?" Li Fanyu grabbed a guy with bare arms and asked.

"Hey! I heard that Germany is hosting a car design competition, inviting students from the top industrial universities in the world, and our school also received an invitation."

Li Fanyu's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Then what happened?"

"Then the school leaders didn't approve the funds, saying that even if we went, we might not win, and students who are interested can organize themselves, but they have to cover the expenses themselves. Professor Zhang didn't agree, saying the school's education is poor and the logic is absurd. The vice president disagreed, and the two of them started arguing. Ah, if it weren't for my major not being related, I would want to go too. I heard that the first prize in the competition comes with a 500,000 euro prize!"

Li Fanyu's eyes were shining like searchlights. 500,000 euros!? That's equivalent to almost 4 million yuan! A side quest that brings money and completes tasks, isn't it tailor-made for me?
