Weighing 200g, this 10,000mAh candy-colored, flash-powered portable power bank...
Zuo Ling was charmed by the small and cute power bank and promptly bought 100 of them.
I also bought two foldable phones from a certain brand. The phones weren't a necessity, but rather a way to compensate for what I didn't need.
Zuo Ling once longed to own a foldable phone from this brand, but unfortunately, she was too short of money to buy one.
Now that I have money, of course I want to treat myself.
I wandered around for ages but couldn't find anything to protect myself or my life, which was a bit disappointing.
I stepped out of the side door of the exhibition hall to catch my breath. In front of me was a pond, and a lot of people were making a lot of noise, I didn't know what they were doing.
With nothing else to do, I decided to go and see what was going on.
When we arrived, we saw a car lurching along in the water. It swam to the shore, paused for a few seconds, and then continued to move ashore.
When the entire vehicle was revealed, its four large wheels stood out in an extremely domineering manner.
Its appearance is somewhat similar to the all-terrain off-road vehicle that Zuo Ling obtained in New Jersey, but it is even taller.
Like a stunt driver, the car slid up and down the pond wall in an S-shape, then, having had its fun, it turned around and plunged into the water...
Zuo Ling's eyes widened; it was an amphibious vehicle! There were two other vehicles of the same model by the pond.
I asked the staff member next to me, "Excuse me, may I take a test drive?"
The staff member glanced at her and pointed to the sign standing to the side:
"Sure, 1000 yuan for a test drive, 20 minutes."
A 20-minute test drive for 1000 yuan! That's really not cheap.
However, it's understandable.
The manufacturer's goal is to sell cars, not to let people play for free by paying for fuel. Of course, there has to be a charge. Zuo Ling readily paid 1,000 yuan.
A female test driver arrived, and whistles erupted from the pond, making the atmosphere even more lively than before.
The staff explained the instructions to Zuo Ling.
When the front of the vehicle enters the water, the underwater mode is activated; when the front of the vehicle emerges from the water, the land mode is activated.
The car only has forward and reverse gears; the accelerator and brakes are no different from those of ordinary models.
With a tap of the accelerator, Zuo Ling plunged directly into the water.
There is a certain drop between the bank and the water surface, so I didn't dare to walk in a straight line and carefully entered the water at an angle.
After entering the water, I could clearly feel the resistance from the water, so I activated the underwater mode.
I heard a buzzing sound coming from below; it must be the oars starting up.
Zuo Ling was disappointed as they circled the pond bank, but the speed was not as fast as on land.
Amphibious capability is a functional aspect, but Zuo Ling needs more than just functionality; he also needs speed.
In the apocalypse, there are often opportunists who take advantage of the chaos. If you can't keep up the pace, you'll just become a target.
Zuo Ling lost interest in the test drive and, thinking that he couldn't waste 1,000 yuan, showed off his S-shaped driving record along the pond wall.
She didn't dare to drive too fast, and her coolness level was clearly not as high as the previous test driver.
Disembark and hand over the vehicle.
When the staff asked about the test drive experience, the subtext was whether the person intended to buy the car.
Zuo Ling answered directly:
"Sorry, we can't increase the speed of our descent. We'll talk about it again when you can increase the speed later."
The staff quickly explained:
"Ma'am, our product is mainly designed for urban flooding. Nowadays, when it rains in the city, everyone ends up in a flood, causing great inconvenience and safety hazards for commuters. A slight delay in speed is not a big problem; getting you home safely is the purpose of our company's development of this product."
Ah, that's precisely why I won't buy it—because it can't get me home safely.
Zuo Ling smiled, shook her head, and didn't say anything more to him.
If you say too much, the staff will keep going on and on.
