Arthur left the school dorms to meet the seller and take a test drive of the car. He also wanted to meet the 'legendary' piece of shit that was selling such a run-down car with so much boldness.
"After buying that car, I will have only 21000 credits left. By the way how much will I get after winning the race?" Arthur remembered that he didn't even know the prize for winning the race.
[Winner will get 500,000 F.C. or 500 cosmic coins along with an Enhanced Gene serum.]
"What the fuck- oh that's very fucking nice." When he heard that he will only get 500 cosmic coons for winning the race he was pissed off but as soon as he heard the latter half of the sentence, he became delighted.
An Enhanced Gene serum cost around 700 to 1100 cosmic coins. If he sold it, he would get plenty of cosmic coins to unlock the first area in the sub-dimension of his.
He immediately left the school grounds and stood in front of the gates. He gently pressed the ring and called public transport to reach the mentioned location.
In a few seconds, a car came flying in his direction and stopped directly in front of him. It was completely transparent, had no steering wheel or any wheels, and had a small seat enough for a single person only. Looked like a semi-flat-floating-transparent capsule.
"Where is the engine in this thing? How the hell is it flying like that? Is it even safe?" Arthur was perplexed at the design of the car. It just looked like a small pod covered in glass and there was no place to fit an engine in that thing.
[It uses superconducting material to repel the magnetic fields of the planet. Superconductors have the ability to repel the magnet field and act as a diamagnetic material. Thus it can float easily on the surface and just need to control the magnetic field of the superconducting material to move forward and backward.]
Arthur didn't get even a single word he listened to. He felt some kind of time dilation as soon as Adam started speaking. His brain didn't register a single thing although his ears listened.
"Yeah, that's what I thought... some magnetic shit was the reason after all." He spoke in an embarrassed tone. After all, knowledge hasn't been his best of the traits.
He quickly sat on the car in front of him and fed the destination through his ring. The light inside the car became green and the glass became opaque. Then it started moving forward.
He could see everything from the inside but the glass blocked the view from the outside to inside.
Arthur looked at the estimated time and distance. It showed that he would cover a distance of 60 miles in 15 minutes. That meant that the speed of the car was 240 mph.
"Hey even with all the levitation and shit, it is still slower than the cars of my era," Arthur spoke in an amused tone. Back on earth, many cars had faster speeds than this.
[I have discovered that the speeds of these vehicles are limited due to the restrictions placed on them. Their real capacity is double this speed and they could levitate up to a height of 100 meters.]
"Shit! This is awesome" Arthur looked out and saw that at the moment it was flying at a height of 2 meters at max. He looked around and really found some cars flying at even higher heights.
"Why can they fly at that height? Isn't there any restriction on them?" He asked while looking at those cars.
[You could also buy one and fly that high. Remember you are riding public transport and don't even own it, to begin with.]
Soon he came to a not-so-run-down shop dealing with- well, everything. He contacted the seller and waited for his arrival for the next hour or so.
"Seriously how long am I supposed to wait for the dude... It's fucking annoying."
As he was going to kill more time, the seller finally arrived and contacted him.
He arrived at the told location and saw the much-awaited, shit-looking bastard flirting with a salesgirl. Behind him was a black-streamlined car, which looked pretty banged up.
"Eh? mate do you wanna buy my car? You are too fooking early to ride my beauty... go back, I am not selling ya anything.. any-fooking-nothing. Not selling to an amateur."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Arthur could see his rotten teeth- well, at least whatever remained of them... All in all, he looked like a sailor that drowned years ago and somehow came back to life momentarily.
"Why the fuck do you care about what I do with 'My' car after I buy it from you? Hell, I would burn it down if I wish it and you shouldn't give a shit about that."
"And why are you selling it at such a cheap price?"
Arthur was very annoyed with his opening remark. The fucker was looking down on him a little too much and he clearly didn't want to sell it but still put such a low price for it.
The guy was taken aback but then laughed it off.
"Li'l guy, you are too early to curse me and tell me what I should do and who should I sell my car. It's my life for fucks sake."
"And let me tell you... this beauty is very fast. FAST! You hear that? Not like those turtley shit you get around here... It's pure beauty!"
"I don't want to sell it even in my dreams but life is a bitch. Circumstances make us who we are, we are-"
"Stop with your philosophical bullshit and just get to the fucking point already." Arthur hurriedly interrupted him as he got increasingly excited.
"Sigh, well hear me out, will you mate? I am really sad these days..." The man sighed heavily as if the burden of the world was upon his shoulders.
