Chapter 280: The Little Guys' Cozy Home

In the morning, when the viewers opened the live stream, the first thing that caught their eyes was a pitch-black off-road vehicle.

The Karlmann King looked incredibly rugged and domineering, its exterior somewhat resembling an armored car. The sharp, angular lines of its body gave it plenty of character and delivered a massive visual impact.

The vehicle carried a heavy sci-fi vibe, looking almost like the Batmobile.

"What a badass car!"

"Can someone tell me what kind of off-road vehicle this is? I want to buy one."

The viewers immediately started asking questions the moment they entered the stream and saw the Karlmann King.

"Is this Temple Master Ning's new car?"

"This car is seriously gorgeous. What's the layout inside?"

"I study cars every day, but I've never seen this model before."

"This definitely isn't some ordinary mass-market vehicle."

"It looks so domineering."

At that moment, Ning Fei stepped out of the vehicle and greeted his viewers.

"Good morning, everyone."

"My master just gifted me this car. I'm planning to head out tomorrow for another wilderness expedition, so I'm inspecting its condition today."

Seeing Ning Fei, the viewers immediately pressed for more details.

"Temple Master Ning, what kind of car is this? Tell us about it."

However, Ning Fei was entirely focused on checking the car's interior components. He wasn't looking at the screen, so he didn't respond.

In the chat, everyone continued discussing Ning Fei's new ride.

Those who knew nothing about cars waited for an expert to explain, while the car enthusiasts admitted they had never seen this model either.

But netizens were a knowledgeable bunch. Nowadays, meeting a real billionaire in person might be difficult, but there was no shortage of people talking big online.

Making a few thousand a month didn't stop them from debating whether Lamborghini or Porsche had better performance.

"I think this is a car that premiered at the Dubai International Motor Show a couple of years ago. Let me go look it up."

A viewer named Brother Bao of Mount Akina said.

It didn't take long for him to return.

"Holy shit! I found it! That car is the Karlmann King! It's the absolute top-tier domestically produced SUV, ranked number one among luxury off-road vehicles in the world!"

His comment instantly sent the chat into a frenzy.

"What? The number one off-road vehicle in the world?"

"It's true! It's on Baidu, I just found it too."

"It's limited to twelve units worldwide. Temple Master Ning actually got his hands on one? Seriously?"

"Didn't he say his master gave it to him?"

"The starting price for a Karlmann King is 12 million? That's ridiculous."

"Bro, that was the price when it first launched. Its collector's value now has probably more than doubled."

"Is Temple Master Ning really that hardcore?"

"The global limited edition was probably just for the first batch. They definitely produced more later, but it still targets the absolute elite. Ordinary people will never see this car in their lifetime; it only trades hands among the billionaires at the very top."

"Is this car real or what?"

It had to be said, once everyone learned the truth about the Karlmann King, the live stream completely exploded.

Disbelief washed over everyone.

An off-road vehicle worth tens of millions?

That kind of value was completely beyond the comprehension of the vast majority of people.

At that moment, Ning Fei addressed the viewers again.

"Hello again."

"This off-road vehicle is a Karlmann King, though it's been modified a bit."

"The sharp, angular design was inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber, which significantly reduces its air resistance."

"The body is constructed from carbon fiber and steel. It's incredibly sturdy and can withstand heavy impacts without deforming."

"Now, let me show you the interior."

Ning Fei opened the rear door.

The viewers had never seen such a massive luxury off-road vehicle before, so they were extremely curious.

They stared unblinkingly at the screen.

After all, this would be prime bragging material later.

"The exterior of this car is cold and wild, but the interior decor is quite lavish."

"It is a toy for the wealthy, after all."

"I'll be making some modifications to it later. I'm not really a fan of this style."

As Ning Fei opened the door and the viewers got a clear look at the interior, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Whoa!"

Inside the cabin, the decor was exceptionally extravagant.

First was the starlight headliner on the roof, featuring a yellow diamond-shaped light panel that looked like an ornate ceiling.

The seats and surrounding trim were covered in lavender genuine leather, looking remarkably comfortable.

The entire setup looked exactly like the luxury rides of the mega-rich in blockbuster movies from Mei Country.

Toss in a few beautiful women and a couple of glasses of champagne, and you could host a whole party in there!

"This car has a very high-end configuration," Ning Fei explained. "It has high-fidelity audio, a fold-out table, a coffee machine, a neon ambient lighting system, a retractable 4K flat-screen TV, and more."

"But these things are pretty useless to me. Aside from the audio system, which doesn't need to be touched, I plan to rip the rest out."

"If there's one thing I actually do like, it's that this car comes with a built-in refrigerator."

Ning Fei climbed into the car and opened the fridge door.

Only then did the viewers realize there was an actual fridge inside.

As for the TV and the coffee machine, they were completely useless to Ning Fei and would definitely be removed later.

He wasn't like the tycoons in those movies, lounging in the back with a chauffeur up front, an arm around a group of beauties, sipping champagne.

Much like the grand entrance of Baoqiang's character in Detective Chinatown 2.

"This car is so majestic."

"The life of the rich is truly so simple and unpretentious."

"Thanks to Temple Master Ning, I've caught another glimpse into the world of billionaires."

"Temple Master Ning said his master gave it to him. I had no idea the old temple master was secretly loaded."

"I remember Qingfeng Temple used to be really run-down. The old temple master is such an enigma."

"Temple Master Ning, I'm just a student. Can you give me one of these cars? I strongly advise you to know what's good for you."

The discussion was incredibly lively.

Ning Fei looked over the car.

Aside from the overly flashy decor in the back, he was actually quite satisfied with it.

The reason was simple: the vehicle had excellent performance, massive interior space, and a refrigerator.

That was enough.

If the tycoons in the Middle East knew his reasoning, their jaws would probably drop.

After all, billionaires bought this car mainly to enjoy the luxury of the back seat.

Not because it came with a built-in fridge.

"Because it's loaded with so many extra features, the vehicle is extremely heavy and burns a lot of fuel. Luckily, the fuel tank is massive enough to compensate."

"It looks like I'll need to contact an auto repair shop to rip all this stuff out early and reduce the vehicle's weight."

Everyone had different needs for a vehicle. Since Ning Fei was using it for wilderness expeditions, a lighter body was naturally better.

Afterward, Ning Fei contacted an auto repair shop in Kuncheng.

Usually, jobs involving tens-of-millions-level luxury cars weren't easy to take on. However, there was a large repair shop in Kuncheng staffed with highly professional mechanics. Upon hearing Ning Fei's request, they agreed immediately.

It was nothing more than ripping out the coffee machine, the retractable TV, and similar accessories. They weren't troubleshooting or replacing core parts, which made the job significantly easier.

Around the same time, Ning Fei's newly purchased batch of outdoor expedition gear arrived. Now that he had ample funds, he only bought the absolute best equipment.

Once everything was prepared and packed, Ning Fei planned to set off and pay another visit to the snow domains of the Kunlun Mountains.

This time, Ning Fei planned to take the little guys along with him.

He stocked the car's refrigerator with the little guys' food, some raw meat, fresh vegetables, seasonings, and so on.

Where the fold-out table and coffee machine used to be, he placed several cozy beds for the animals.

The back seat, originally designed for tycoons to revel in luxury, had now been transformed by Ning Fei into a warm, cozy home for the animals.

In the evening, all the members of Qingfeng Temple gathered together.

Ning Fei opened the rear door and let the little guys climb inside to familiarize themselves with the environment.

They piled in one after another, all of them visibly excited.

The back seat of this car was miles more comfortable than the seats in the Wrangler Jungle Hero.

It was spacious, soft, and gave them plenty of room to move around.

Seeing how the little guys reacted made Ning Fei very happy as well.

In his heart, his anticipation for the upcoming expedition grew even stronger.
