The name “scooter” may make this mode of transportation seem easy to learn, but in practice, it can be rather challenging, particularly when it comes to water scooters. Ordinary individuals may need 2-3 months to learn, and others may need more than three years to become competent. It is propelled by wind energy. Its frame was very lightweight, and it could only carry a single rider. The design was similar to that of a standard automobile. All controls are on the right-hand handle, and if you twist it, it will accelerate and achieve a maximum speed of 120 mph.
However, few would really attempt to achieve such a goal. The braking mechanism would not take action quickly since the scooter was light and speedy. If an accident happens at high speeds, it is quite likely that the riders will be killed. When the scooter neared the water, it would retract its little wheels, like a “sail.” It would be more like floating on water than riding on it. It takes a good sense of balance to master. As a result, although there were not many individuals engaging in the water scooter as a game project, there were many people observing.
The majority of contestants were males, with just two women among them, which was notable. When the participants came out, the crowd screamed, particularly the girls and “new females,” practically breaking their necks.
Cheng Jin had never seen a scooter race before, but now that he had, he knew why they yelled.
It was really… He, too, wanted to shout.
The image of a row of half-naked guys with fantastic physiques emerging together was disorienting, and he had no idea where to look. Cheng Jin, of course, stared at his partner first. Lu Tao was not the tallest or strongest of the group, but his physique was the most appealing. Under the sunlight, his wheat-colored skin gleamed softly. His shoulders were wide, his waist tight, and his physique was sleek and proportionate. He was neither muscular like the Rigel family nor skinny, but rather a well-defined block. The approaching mermaid line made people’s lips dry under the unmistakable abdominal muscles.
Participants often wear swimsuits during competitions so that they may cut down on the amount of resistance they face throughout the event to the greatest extent feasible. Men will directly wear swim trunks.
“Fuck, if I’d known sooner, I’d be here too.” Eureka’s tone was laden with sadness as he heard the women’s gasps of appreciation.
Cheng Jin chuckled and said, “Asher is greeting you.”
Asher was certainly waving to them. He was also a dominant figure amid a bunch of half-naked males. His long blond hair remained braided behind his ear. His face was so pale that it glowed in the light, and his eyebrows were so deeply etched with charm that they were more attractive than the eldest lady of the YouSi family, who stood by his side.
Eureka sighed. “There’s no difference, it’s all two eyes and one mouth.”
“You really…” Cheng Jin was dumbfounded. He instantly realized there was another member of the crew. It was Yan Qi. Yan Qi’s towering figure stood out among the crowd, and just by looking at him, he would never have guessed that Yan Qi’s body was so powerful, his muscles were full, and his eight-pack abs appeared firm. “He and Asher…wouldn’t be kept by mistake, right?” Cheng Jin couldn’t help but wonder.
The tournament had not yet begun when the players appeared. They seemed to be still prepping. During this period, Lu Tao and Asher came over.

Cheng Jin’s cheeks blushed even more as he saw his spouse draw closer. He yanked on the hem of his skirt again, unconsciously. The number of people’s gazes that landed on him grew after what had happened before, but this time it was not to scorn or ridicule him; rather, they were shocked and even jealous.

Lu Tao’s tone was tinged with envy. “I asked you to cheer for me. Where did your eyes go just now?”
Cheng Jin hastily glanced up, wanting to establish his innocence, but his partner’s eyes were filled with grins. He was relieved when he learned he was kidding. Asher approached him and smiled, saying, “I just noticed Xiao Jin staring at me.”
Cheng Jin was astonished for a minute, trying to reject it but being wordless. Lu Tao glared at his partner and said, “It was just a casual glance.”
The two started joking. Cheng Jin noticed that Yan Qi was also heading over, expecting that he wouldn’t say anything nice. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Yan Qi suddenly raised his wrist, quickly opened his light screen, adjusted to the shooting picture, and pressed the shutter on Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin’s eyes widened, and he said suspiciously, “W-Why are you taking a picture of me?”
Yan Qi raised the corners of his mouth, “Your clothes look so ridiculous, of course, I took it and sent it to your gege to appreciate.”
“Hey!” Cheng Jin felt embarrassed and tried to seize his wrist, but when Yan Qi lifted his hand, he couldn’t. This wicked individual also purposefully opened the light screen in front of him and displayed the transmitted symbol. “It was already sent.”
“Yan Xiao Qi!” Cheng Jin stomped his feet in anger, but out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
Although he only glanced at the communication information on the photo, why did he seem to see the words “eat well”?
It’s too strange for this dialogue to appear between Yan Qi and his brother, isn’t it?
Before he could think about it, Lu Tao had already stood in front of him, frowning at Yan Qi. “Young Master Yan, Xiao Jin is my partner, please don’t take photos of him casually.”
“Ah, I deleted it after I sent it.” Yan Qi responded lazily and added, “I’m not interested in him, Lord General. If I was, we would have been married long ago.”
If you’re not interested, don’t come here ah!!!
Cheng Jin roared in his heart, his face turning pale. Lu Tao frowned and glared at Yan Qi. He was about to say something when an announcement came that the game was about to start.
Seeing that his partner was going to make preparations, Cheng Jin quickly said, “Jiayou, husband!” Then added, “Don’t get hurt.”
The lord general’s expression only softened then. He pinched his cheek again, and said with a light smile, “Wait for your husband to bring you the prize.”
When they started to prepare, Cheng Jin asked Eureka, “What’s the prize for this competition?”
“Great Master Quan’s posthumous work, a necklace with blue gems embedded in it. It’s called a Sea Casket.” Eureka replied casually, obviously still lamenting for not participating in this game competition.
“Ah…” Cheng Jin was stunned. “As expected of the YouSi family, it’s really a literary piece.”
The scooter was a remarkably significant feat in science and technology since it utilised aerodynamic energy and included an internal kinetic energy conversion system. Strictly speaking, as long as it was running, it would never run out of electricity because as it moved ahead, it would capture wind and turn it into energy, allowing people to utilize the automobile. This innovation was very powerful, but since only one person could use it and mastering it was extremely tough, it did not become widely known across the globe. After all, people have more efficient and pleasant modes of transportation. Most individuals would not choose to ride scooters if they were not looking for thrill.
So the scooter has essentially become a tool for competitions.
After the command was given, the participants started their machines one after another and surged towards the magnificent ocean. The content of the competition was very simple. Just follow the established road, from the starting point to a small island 50 kilometers away from here, sign the name on the signature table above, and then go back the same way. The first person to arrive would be the winner.
There was satellite monitoring throughout the competition, and those who weren’t participating could sit on the balcony or in the hall and watch from the huge light screen.
The round-trip distance was only 100 kilometers. Normally, the results of the game could be obtained within an hour.
Those who dared to participate in the competition were all proficient in scooters. After just two minutes, people could no longer see the contestants’ figures with their eyes. When Eureka saw them set off, he was a little bit intrigued. “I’ll go see if there are any other games.”
Cheng Jin didn’t move, and said, “Go, I’ll wait for my husband to come back.”
Just as Eureka was about to leave, he heard a specially invited commentator shouting, “The first player to overturn has appeared, we have the first player who overturned!!! It’s Qi Kongkong, the young master of the Qi family. What a pity, he went ten kilometers ahead and fell down during a sideslip.”
The screen also showed Qi Kongkong falling down. The scooter seemed to be light and ingenious, but when it fell, it stirred up a wave, which scared some watchers. Fortunately, Qi Kongkong was quickly pulled up by the rescue team. Eureka raised his eyebrows. “I’d better stay here, it doesn’t look bad.”
Cheng Jin became nervous. He had a deep understanding of his husband and he even joined his “fan group”. However, there was too little effective information that was collected about Lu Tao. He only knew that his husband could scoot, but he didn’t know exactly how he drove it. He clenched his palms tightly, his voice trembling a little, “Is the strength of falling down so great? There…wouldn’t be an accident, right?”
Eureka didn’t understand his mood at all, and said, “When I was studying, I almost broke my head once.”
“Ah…” Cheng Jin panicked even more, but fortunately, everyone present could connect to the video of this game on their screens, and they could also select whose individual players they’d watch. He quickly turned on the light screen and found Lu Tao’s exclusive camera. After clicking on it, he was finally relieved to see the figure still steady on the scooter. But before he could relax, his heart tightened again.
Lu Tao drove so fast!
Judging from the speed next to him, he’s already driving 115 miles!
This number made Cheng Jin’s face pale, and he couldn’t help but grab Eureka, “W-Why is he driving so fast… It’s too dangerous.”
“In order to win the first place, why else?” Eureka said with a “why are you suddenly acting stupid” expression. “Can’t you see? My cousin is chasing after him.”
Cheng Jin did see the figure closely following Lu Tao, but his mind was in a confused state that he couldn’t tell who it was for a while. He knew it was Yan Qi when he heard Eureka saying ‘cousin’. His heart was in turmoil. Every time Lu Tao went up and down with the waves, his teeth would grit. He wasn’t excited to witness the stimulating competition; instead, he was scared and worried.
The participants were returning at an unusually rapid pace. When they halted, three of them fell out, and when they got back up, they couldn’t catch up to the folks in front of them. Finally, just three individuals ran ahead of the pack.
“The speed limit has been used! General Lu Tao, Young Master Yan Qi and Lieutenant General Asher Rigel all used the limit speed! 120 miles! I can already see their figures! So fast! Come! Come! They have passed the checkpoint and are docking! Docked successfully! Now, let’s see who the winner is! The winner is — it’s General Lu Tao!”
The narrator’s passionate voice surrounded the entire banquet, and after uttering the name, the audience cheered.
Cheng Jin was stunned, his legs softened, and if he hadn’t held the railing, he would have collapsed right there.
