Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 3: Please open up

   After receiving the order, it is reasonable to say that the destination of the taxi-hailing software is fixed. It is impossible to change it halfway, and the driver can see the name of the destination. But this time I don't know why, although the navigation is on, there is no target and distance display, which makes Zhao Mai feel a little unsure.

I bit my head and left the airport and embarked on the intercity expressway. There were cars passing by. The current navigation direction is still pointing to the urban area. I did not turn to the direction of other cities when passing through several high-speed interchanges. This made Zhao Mai a little easier. Looking back through the mirror, the old man had just slept for a while and was waking up yawning. Judging from his stretched posture, he didn't look like an old man in his eighties. On the contrary, he felt like a tiger standing up and an eagle spreading its wings.

   "Boy, how's things at home? I think your expression is better than before. At least the eyebrows are stretched a bit. Is there any progress?"

   "You can't solve anything with a frown? There's nothing to say now. I earn more money, and these difficult things can be over. Thank you for your concern. If there is a good opportunity, please say hello."

"If there is a job that is very risky but can make a lot of money, would you like to try it?" The old man in the car moved his finger slightly, and took out a small iron box from nowhere. It was slightly larger than a matchbox. It outlines silver-white lines.

   Zhao Mai drove in front, naturally unable to look back at this scene. While talking, the old man tapped a little bit on the iron box, as if a piano player was playing the keyboard. "Are you satisfied with your current life, do you want to make changes?"

   If you ask a question one day earlier, Zhao Mai will definitely not agree. He has confidence in his abilities and believes that he has enough ability to get ahead as long as he has time. But life will not always be smooth sailing. When a huge wave suddenly appears and slapped over, there will be no time for slow development. Fortunately, he is not a person who is afraid of challenges. How many fights can he have in life? After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and replied: "As long as it is not illegal, I am willing to try!"

   "Well, I understand." The old man nodded, and opened the tin box with his slender fingers, which contained three gold coins. Each piece is about the same size as the five corners of a RMB, but there are no teeth on the edges, and they have been ground into an irregular ellipse. One side of the coin is a pattern of a scale, and the other side is a mountain that passes through the halo. The old man threw the coin from the back into the passenger seat, and then said: "This is a gold coin. Many people call it a destiny gold coin. Legend has it that it can change a person's destiny, but only a few people can trigger it. The power in it. Whether you can make this money depends on whether you have this life."

   Zhao Mai originally only wanted to glance at it, but after seeing the gold coin, he could no longer look away, like leaves being dragged into a deep pool by a vortex. He watched the gold coins spin in the air, just like slow motion in a movie, every detail is clearly visible. He knows the location of every stain, and he also remembers the angle and direction of every wear. If he can use this ability in sports, maybe the national table tennis team can have his place.

   This state comes quickly and goes quickly. After the gold coin falls on the passenger seat, the "dynamic vision" is over. Zhao Mailuo was taken aback for a moment, and then fell into excitement. His heart was beating frantically in his chest, and a suffocating sensation gripped his throat. Abundant imagination and divergent thinking exploded in his mind, and countless possibilities surged in an instant. Zhao Mai tried to control himself, squeezing the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and gritted his teeth, finally he could speak:

   "Sir, are you an ordinary person?"

"It has nothing to do with what I just said." The old man smiled faintly, and his voice was very calm: "Just pick up the gold coin and you can drive on an unusual road. If you don't touch it, nothing will happen, you I will forget about it."

   Zhao Mai's right hand released the steering wheel and froze in the air. He swallowed nervously, measured it for three seconds, and then, without hesitation, grabbed the gold coin.

   There is no feeling in the palm of his hand, and there is nothing to see when he spread it out. Zhao Mai laughed ridiculously. He was looking for the old man who was playing with him to settle the accounts, but he heard a prompt from the mobile phone navigation system:

   "Two kilometers ahead, please take the upward passage."

   The gentle electronic female voice said twice, and Zhao Mai was sure that he heard it correctly. The old man in the back seat pulled the safety belt, snapped it on himself, and leaned back on the seat.

   There is still a highway leading to the city in front, and there is no overpass on the straight road. Where is the ascending passage? Zhao Mai glanced at the navigation screen, and the software showing his location and surrounding maps was still running, showing no sign of malfunction. He was about to tap the screen with his hand when he heard the prompt sound again: "One kilometer ahead, please take the upward passage. Please be careful not to drive on the ground."

   "I am not an airplane, how can I drive upwards?" Zhao Mai shouted, "I must be dreaming, dreaming!"

   "How do you know if you don't try?"

   These words floated into Zhao Mai's ears clearly, and somehow a fierce impulse burst out. It is said that when people are fully focused, all the noise and chaos will not appear. Except for the target, the world is nothingness. Zhao Mai only remembered that he took a deep breath from his nasal cavity, and immediately blocked the sound of the engine, wind and vibration from the car. Only the electronic warning sound continued to sound:

   "500 meters ahead, please drive up..."

   "A hundred meters ahead, please drive up..."

   "Go up."

   Zhao Mai suddenly pulled the steering wheel, as if pulling up an airplane control stick. The outline of "THE·CHE" flashed with a golden light, and the driver who saw the golden light immediately forgot that there was a car there.

   rose in the sky and headed straight to the sky, Zhao Mai's brazen laughter came from the part-time taxi. At this time, he was only full of excitement and excitement, and he finally became a unique individual in the ordinary world.

   "Welcome to enter the tunnel road. The toll fee has been paid for one gold coin. The road ahead is smooth. It is estimated that it will take three minutes to reach the destination. Please fasten your seat belt. It may be slightly bumpy."

As soon as   's voice fell, the car window was completely dark. The original blue sky and soft white clouds disappeared, all being replaced by stars. Even in the Discovery Channel documentary, Zhao Mai has never seen so many stars, let alone they can emit such a colorful light.

   only watched for two seconds, the starlight began to spin, changing into a rainbow-like afterimage. Zhao Mai thought that he had fallen into a kaleidoscope, and was about to ask, but felt that the whole car shook, as if pressing over a small pit. Looking out the window again, all the stars disappeared, only the night remained.

   "There are about two minutes to talk, so I still say and you listen." The old man shook his neck and said calmly.
