Chapter 630: 621, Busted!_1

The most common air rifle on the Chinese market now must be the lead pellet-shooting bald eagle, which can achieve a precise range of 100 meters and has the power to penetrate a pheasant. The rifle barrel has rifling, and the price of such a gun ranges from 4,800 to 6,800 yuan, with the rifled barrel alone worth half the price.

Compared to that, sniper rifles are many, many times more exaggerated...

If Ren He wasn’t truly wealthy, no one would be willing to get this thing for him. You know, just the number of people who have been arrested for making bald eagle air rifle parts in small workshops...

But since Ren He could get his hands on it by paying extra, he didn’t ask too many questions and hung up the phone after scheduling a delivery time with Steve.

Next was the task of speedboarding this time. The number of people who speedboard in China is actually quite small; it’s more popular in Europe and America. It resembles a surfboard on land, a bit longer than a regular skateboard, with wheels that are softer and wider.

Essentially, longboarding is all about speed, so when people talk about longboarding, they generally mean speedboarding.

The current world record is 141 kilometers per hour, and the Divine Punishment System required breaking that speed, meaning Ren He only needed to exceed 141 kilometers per hour for a moment to complete the task. He could use a tow rope behind a car for assistance, but he had no idea what kind of rating he would receive.

Ren He felt this was a new domain for him, and he saw no need to cheat. Who would want to cheat in the field of their dreams? What’s the point? Was it deceiving others or oneself?

Now, speedboarding is considered a separate event and even has competitions with the highest honors.

Typically, for extreme speedboarding, the boards are generally harder, medium in length, with high technology content, featuring professional speedboarding wheels that grip the ground well. The hardness of the wheels is adjusted according to different racing surfaces.

So Ren He had An Si custom-make everything for him, including slide gloves used for drifting, which essentially act like brake pads.

But if Ren He were to speedboard down from the mountain top, he would still need to reduce his speed when turning, so gloves were essential.

During speedboarding, when racers use gloves to slow down, the sparks generated between the gloves and the ground are also quite spectacular.

Customizing speedboarding equipment wasn’t difficult and was expected to be delivered to Ren He before the end of the year. By then, Liu Erbao would follow An Si to Luo City to film the entire speedboarding process.

The place tentatively chosen was Mount Laojun. There are plenty of steep cliffs around Luo City and among them, Mount Laojun has the best maintained roads. If it were White Cloud Mountain, the cracks in the road surface could very well take Ren He’s life.

If he happened to trip when breaking through 141 kilometers per hour, Ren He could be flung off the cliff entirely.

In the process of the speedboarding challenge, choosing which section to break the record on is a meticulous matter, and it must be a straight stretch following a steep downhill, as it’s the safest option.

In winter, Mount Laojun is closed, but this isn’t a big issue. As long as it doesn’t snow during those days, even if it is closed, Ren He can pay to go up.

If it really snows, whether he changes the location or uses an exemption to waive the task, Ren He would not be reckless enough to complete the mission in the snow. Although he loves risking his life and enjoys the thrill of escaping death, he doesn’t seek a hopeless end...

He indeed broke the world record in speed skiing, but this is a different matter...

Upon arriving in Luo City, the two of them first went to the largest supermarket to buy a bunch of items as gifts for Yang Xi’s first New Year visit, such as Jinhua smoked pork legs and other festive items...

The closer they got to Ren He’s home, the more nervous Yang Xi became. But as soon as she entered the house and saw Mrs. Ren’s figure cooking in the kitchen, she suddenly felt at ease.

Back when Yang Xi first arrived at Ren He’s home, she was in a daze, always being fed by Mrs. Ren who cooked for her. Mrs. Ren had even put her business aside for those two days to take care of her.

Latter on, Yang Xi felt a bit embarrassed. Every time she knew that Mrs. Ren and Ren would be home for a meal, she would casually prepare something, and neither Mrs. Ren nor Ren ever complained about the taste.

It was during those days that Yang Xi felt that compared to Su Ruqin’s treatment of Ren He, she really owed Ren He too much, which was one of the reasons she didn’t answer calls from Su Ruqin or Yang En.

At that time, to be honest, she harbored some resentment towards them.

Yang Xi unconsciously walked to the kitchen and started to help Mrs. Ren cook, and just a casual request from Mrs. Ren to peel some garlic made Yang Xi feel like she had returned home.

Ren He wanted to give his mom a thumbs-up on the spot. In fact, it’s true that sometimes when you visit someone’s home, the more courteous they are with serving you food and pouring water, the more uncomfortable you feel.

However, if they truly treat you like family and ask you to do something simple on a whim, you might feel more at ease.

One is the way of hospitality, the other is the wisdom of life, and Mrs. Ren who could manage the Luohe Group certainly understood this. So, the apprehension that Yang Xi had carried all the way was smoothed out while peeling garlic...

Sometimes Ren He would wonder whether the saying "marrying within one’s class" in love was important. He couldn’t be sure.

At the very least, if it were a family of more modest means, a mother-in-law might not dare to have an international superstar peel garlic at first. And the problem is, although they might not let the daughter-in-law do chores in the beginning, if she ends up not doing any work, the mother-in-law might hold some resentment, leading to a poor relationship.

All of these depend on the individual; there are no absolutes. But it seems true that if the social levels are mismatched, conflicts could be more frequent.

"I’ll have Ren He take you out for fun before the New Year, since you haven’t had time to enjoy yourself before," Mrs. Ren said while eating, "Ren He, you’ll wash the dishes later. If I had a daughter-in-law as pretty as you, I wouldn’t have the heart to let her hands touch cold water. Don’t be like your dad!"

Pfft, Ren He was confused upon hearing this, as it was a direct hit on himself and Ren, awesome! He turned his head and saw that Ren’s expression was also a bit awkward...

Of course, Ren He also knew that Mrs. Ren was still upset about him risking his life in America, and remembering how Yang Xi’s first visit home had made Mrs. Ren worry until now, he always felt that his son owed his daughter-in-law something.

That evening, Ren He sought out Mrs. Ren, "Mom, please get me a comforter, I’ll sleep on the sofa."

Eh, as soon as he said it, Ren He inwardly cried out in dismay!

Mrs. Ren’s eyebrows shot up to the sky, constantly urging this rascal to give her a grandchild. He always said he was working on it, but now it seemed like they were even going to sleep in separate beds, what could he make on his own? Surface-to-air missiles?!
