《My Hermit Life》Chapter 40
Advertisement
' Lets see, I spent 50 years making different car designs and
blueprints. I then spent 100 years perfecting those designs, then
upgrading them. After making an oval track and then racing the cars, I
spent 70 years making and perfecting motorcycles. After that I spent
300 years upgrading and designing my cars and bikes. After I coudnt
think of anything more to do with vehicles I moved onto Landscaping.
After beautifying the island I spent 1,000 years land scaping one of
the smaller continents inside of my and Lorettas world. Hehehe that
was quite the project. '
" 'Sigh' I just dont know what I should spend my next 490,000 or so
years. "
' I really dont feel like creating more skills and techniques simply
because its annoying and tedious. I am comprehening my Strength Dao
thanks to my self hypnosis same with my Mastery trick. '
' Sigh ' " Maybe I could try increasing my Int. and Wis. stats with
Gabby and the kids. "
Saying that Solomon slowly shook his head and then layed down to take
a nap. Inside of his Dream World Solomon wwas running around the
universe as an elephant the size of planet. The elephant Solomon was
portraying himself as was a World Holding Elephant or World Elephant
for short. Solomon was portraying himself like a World Elephant for a
reason of course. The reason is that World Elephants are classified as
one of the top 10 physically strongest races in existence. So Solomon
portraying himself as one allows him to comprehend his Strength Dao
and his World Dao, though the later not quite as well.
Solomon wasnt really doing anything special other than flying around
the universe.
It wasnt until 20 hours later that Solomon was woken up by his son and
Deams son.
" Dad, Fear and I were wondering if we can take our cars around the
track a few times. We want to see if we can finally beat our tie. "
The track Skyddsud was talking about was one Solomon built all around
the Mini-Dimension. It was a simple oval dirt track that was made of
compact dirt. The cars that Skyddsud mentioned were two racing cars
Solomon made for them. Solomon made them for the two because Sud and
Fear both loved racing.
" Sure kids, I was just thinking how bored I was so this will keep me
entertained. I cant wait to see who wins. "
Like that Solomon and Sud took Fear who was waiting outside of the
room and went to the starting area of the track.
The track itself is litterally a dirt oval with the only change to its
shape being a small square in the middle for spectators. There wasnt a
pit stop built onto the track simply because their wasnt a need to
change fuels, tires, or anything else that needs to be changed on the
cars. This was because the materials to make the cars was that sturdy.
To start the race Solomon went with a drag racing light, the light was
hung above the track.
As soon as the green light started to show the slightest hint of
lighting up, both of the boys launched off of the starting line. Fear
seemed to have the advantage likely due to better reflex training.
The cars the two boys were using should be equal but different types
of uses as well as a variety of other circumstances would influence
the abilities of the car. This lead to Sud catching up to Fear soon
after the start despite Fear starting quicker than Sud. The track,
Advertisement
despite covering the 500 feet long world was actually 20 miles long.
The track was so long simply because of how fast the cars Solomon
built were.
The cars Solomon built for the kids could reach up to 300 M.P.H. This
speed allowed Fear and Sud to to get to the bend of the track in a
little under 5 minutes. Going around the bend both Fear and Sud slowed
down and started to fight for the inner lane. This lead to Sud and
Fear speeding up and slowing down doing multiple manuevers. Eventually
Fear got the inner lane, though he only got it so easily because Sud
gave it up.
The instant Sud gave it up he sped his car up and over took Fear
around the corner. Back onto the straight Sud was still in the lead,
but he might not be able to hold it till the end.
After an intense hour of racing both Fear and Sud were starting to rin
low on Mana, from powering their cars. It was the last turn before the
finish of the race. Sud was in the lead but Fear was right on his
tail. Sud thought he was finally going to complete the tie between him
and Fear but litterally right before the finish line . . . . . Fear
caught up. Aaaaannnnnnddddddd it was a tie.
Both of them slammed the breaks and did a cliche turn burnout in
perfect tandem. Both hopped out of their cars, slammed their doors
shutm and then both yelled.
"" God Damn it. ""
Solomon simply found the entire situation funny and showed it by
falling over laughing.
Both of the kids just stormed to the teleportation formation, and went
home.
Solomon after he finished laughing grabbed the cars and teleported
himself back to the house.
When he got back Solomon was right back into his earlier problem. And
so Solomon went back to sleep. Right before he went to sleep he
imagined himself as Azathoth from the the Cthulhu Mythos created by
Lovecraft.
Of course Solomon knew he would likely never reach such a level of power.
But a man can dream, right?
Solomon didnt wake up until from his dream until one week later, though to him it felt like a few billion years. He wasnt woken up by an outside force, but from a natural alarm he set for himself. When he woke up he decided to be average for once and went into seclusion in order to study the Dao. His seclusion lasted for 3 years before he eventually left from boredom. When he left he noticed Skyddsud and Skyddsande sparring using not only there totems but also their fists.
Skyddsande seemed to have the advantage but Skyddsud was grinning and smiling as though he wasnt taking the battle seriously. Solomon watched the battle through to the end and walked up to Sud to ask him what was up.
" Son what was that battle about? You might not be able to beat Sande but you shouldnt lose so easily. "
" I dont need to beat my sister, which I could do easily, I just need to beat Fear. Who I finally beat in not only racing but also in a spar. "
" Congrats son, I knew you could beat him eventually. What finally changed for you to beat him? "
" I comprehended a bit in my Strength Dao. For beating him in a race I cut some pieces off my car and it lost some weight. Thats the reason I won. "
" Hmm maybe I should teach you two engineering, that way you two can start beating each other as best you can. "

" WOULD YOU! Oh my god thankyou dad, we have actually been thinking of asking you to teach us but we didnt want to interupt your seclusion. "
" Son unless I say not to bother me, you can always find me for anything. "
" Alright dad. So when can you start teaching us? "
" As soon as we find Fear. "
After that Solomon and Sud went off to find Fear for some school time. When they found him he was doing some shadow boxing just like he was taught a long long time ago by his mother. When Solomon and Sud told him about his chance to learn engineering Fear was almost as excited as Sud.
The first thing Solomon started teaching them is how to take apart a car engine replica from his previous life. It didnt take long for either of the kids to reach a level of being able to take the engine apart and put it together in their sleep. After teaching them how to work with a basic stock engine Solomon started adding in other stock parts until eventually he made an entire car for them to work with. After both of the kids mastered the basic stock engine Solomon started adding different types of parts or new parts all together. Solomon also started showing them other types of engines and parts for the kids to learn from. After they could work on the internals of most ground vehicles, Solomon started teaching them about tuneing, aerodynamics, how to work with certain special parts.
After Solomon was confident in there abilities to start working on their own projects without supervision. He had been teaching the kids for over ten years but not quite eleven. After that he brought up a challenge for them.
" You kids want to do a 1 vs 1 vs 1 racing challenge? We will each make a car and then race it at the end of . . . hhmmm lets say two years. "
"" Heck no. ""
" How are you two so similar, literally there like on in a billion chance that you two are so close. Whatever, why do you two not want to do the challenge? "
" You have half a million years of experience on us. Plus you are our teacher, and you are the one who introduced not only engineering but also cars to us. "
" Alright Mr.Fear you really live up to your name, Ill give you two a 2 year handicap and Ill use a bike instead of a car. "
" Nice try dad we know that your bikes are way faster than your cars. Anyway Ill take your challenge, you can have two years but you have to do a trike. "
" Aww come one you know I dont like trikes. How about this year and a half but I do a car. "
" Hmm what do you think Fear, you in? "
" Sure, itll be nice kicking your butt. "
" Alright, lets meet in three years. Oh and dont think Ill be going easy Im totally going to destroy you two. "
" Heh you wish old man. "
" See you then. "
After that they all went their seperate ways, though in the end they all ended up in the same garage.
Solomons car design was alot like the old school jet engine cover cars youd see in the salt flats, Belly Tankers. Solomon did this because he loved those old school monsters and he wanted to see if he could make a race car out of such a design.
Suds car seemed to be similar in design to your average super car from earth, with a small spoiler, cutting lines and edges, and even a roof scoop. Apart from that his car seemed to have been a very low riding one, maybe even a floor scraper.
Fears design looked like a box with holed and edges all over it. It was very unique and looked like something that could be in a museum of weird vehicles. Of course he seemed to have a method to his madness that would make his car very fast.
Solomon had finished his car before his alloted year and a half. His car looked completely different than it did when he started to origonally started to work on it. At the beginning his car looked alot like a go cart, but now it looks. . . . . . different. His car looked like a cartoon car, its similar to an actual plane engine complete with a small propeller. But the main body even had lines and edges, with the body itself being barely big enough to fit Solomon.
When he was done Suds car now looked like the kind of car an alien would drive around in. It was small, short, and edged, it even took inspiration in some areas from motorcycles.
For Fear his car didnt change much except for the fact that it got shorter and longer. It was no longer as body with some add ons and take aways.
All three challengers arrived at nearly the same time, Sud first, Solomon second, and Fear last. They all tried trash talking, but they were all so familiar that any attempt was simply embarrising or completely silly. So they decided to simply start the race.
When the light hit green Solomon was the first off of the start line, this was thanks to his higher stats. His car also seemed to have higher acceleration so he got an earlier lead. This didnt last long though both Fear and Sud were catching up with Sud being a little faster. When they got to the first bend, Sud and Fear were both ahead of Solomon, but not by much. Luckily for Solomon his sacrificed speed let him have much better manuverbility. It was with this that Solomon not only got ahead of them on the bend but also reached the straight before the were done with the turn. Like this Solomon could barely keep the lead for the entire race. When it got to the last turn Solomon assumed he had the race in the bag. But it seemed that both Sud and Fear were keeping some tricks up their sleeves.
Fears trick was that he had a great reserve of Mana giving him a massive burst of speed. Suds trick was instead of a massive burst of speed his car would litterally jump the car in front of him. Like this Solomon ended up in second while it was once again a photo finish tie between the both of them. Solomon jumped out of his car apalled.
" What the hell? I didnt know we were doing tricks like that. I thought we were keeping it all legit, you cheating little shits. "
" Whatever dad, your just angry you didnt think of anything good. "
" Excuses excuses uncle Solomon. "
" Alright lets go home you two. I think Im going to re-vamp this little baby and spank you two in the future. "
" You wish old man. "
" Good luck uncle. "
" Hehehe. "

8 119This Game World is rigged against Mobs!!!
