"A Peng, what kind of drone did that kid use? Such high stability, how have I never seen it before!"
Sun Peng frowned, "He's using a min2, which was discontinued five or six years ago. It's perfectly normal that you don't recognize it, Brother Long. However, he definitely modified it, otherwise, you wouldn't have lost to him."
Liu Shunlong waved his hand grandly, "I lost, I lost, I'm not that petty. But if he can modify an old machine from five or six years ago like this, what about my drone..."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Liu Peng picked up his drone and ejected the memory card. "I just shot some video, and it seems to have a glimpse of the controller. I'll send it to you when I get home."
On the Dongyang City Drone Forum.
A video of a small obstacle course race suddenly went viral, with tens of thousands of comments and thousands of shares.
If it were just an ordinary drone race video, it wouldn't have garnered such attention. After all, many people like to upload videos of their races online to show off their skills.
But today was completely different. This was an old model min2 drone, discontinued five or six years ago, navigating the entire obstacle course at full speed and far outperforming the current mainstream Silverwing drones.
On the forum, people from all angles offered their opinions.
"How can the min's speed be this fast? This video must be sped up!"
"If this video is sped up, it's even more incredible. The rope on the basketball hoop is falling so slowly, the laws of physics are being rewritten."
"That Silverwing flew so poorly. If it were me, I'd just lap it!"
"This drone has definitely been modified, I just don't know where it was done..."
As more and more people participated in the discussion, the attention of many netizens on this min2 drone escalated.
Jing Mingqiu, who caused the entire stir, had already returned to his shop. After a simple clean-up, he lay in bed ready to sleep.
After personally experiencing operating the drone, Jing Mingqiu finally understood the terrifying power of the system's modifications.
Without any special parts, just by adjusting some internal structures of the machine and adding some parts salvaged from old appliances, a qualitative breakthrough could be achieved.
This was only a level one system. Jing Mingqiu couldn't even imagine the power of higher-level systems. Mechs, Gundams, and spaceships, these grand creations that only existed in science fiction novels, might not be impossible to realize in his hands.
With dreams of the future, Jing Mingqiu fell asleep.
In his dream, he piloted a giant mech and pulverized the insect swarm attacking Earth into dust.
At six in the morning, Jing Mingqiu was woken by his biological clock, and his stomach grumbled in sync.
"I'll go eat something before I sleep again. I haven't had Aunt Zhou's soy milk for a long time."
Jing Mingqiu got out of bed, washed his face perfunctorily, and walked to the breakfast stall at the village entrance. He bought three yuan worth of fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk.
"Slurp, gulp!"
With fried dough sticks and soy milk, Jing Mingqiu was enjoying his meal when Sun Heng burst in. Without hesitation, he grabbed a fried dough stick from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, gossiping as he ate.
"Brother Ming, do you know about our Dongyang City drone forum? Yesterday someone uploaded a video, an old model min2 drone actually beat the current mainstream Da Jiang II series Silverwing drone in an obstacle race."
"I don't know how he modified it. If my drone could be this powerful, that would be great! Hey, Brother Ming, is my drone repaired?"
"It's repaired," Jing Mingqiu pointed to the drone on the adjacent table, "I improved its stability. It shouldn't lose control easily now."
"Really? Let me try!"
Sun Heng, impatient, picked up the drone and ran outside.
A short while later, Sun Heng returned, his face full of satisfaction. "Brother Ming, you're amazing! When I was testing it just now, I actually managed a 720-degree spin climb. This competition is definitely in the bag."
"By the way, Brother Ming, isn't your repair shop not far from the square where the obstacle race in the video took place? It was you last night using my drone to beat that Silverwing drone, wasn't it!"
"I was test flying at the small square to the east last night, and a Silverwing wanted to fly with me, but I easily outran it," Jing Mingqiu nodded indifferently. "But I don't know if it was the one you're talking about."
Sun Heng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but kiss the min2 drone he was holding. "The time and place match, it was definitely it that dominated the Silverwing. Great, this competition is in the bag!"
"Brother Ming, how much for the repair fee?"
"One hundred, no! You can give me fifty!"
Since they were old brothers, Jing Mingqiu felt awkward about making money off him and casually offered a friendly price.
"Fifty is too little," Sun Heng shook his head vigorously. "A drone that can dominate a Silverwing would cost at least ten thousand on the market. I'm a bit tight on cash right now. Brother Ming, you take these two hundred yuan first, and when I win the competition prize money, we brothers will split it!"
With that, Sun Heng slapped two hundred-yuan bills onto the table and quickly ran off before Jing Mingqiu could refuse.
Watching Sun Heng's receding back, Jing Mingqiu's lips curved upward. He casually put the money in his pocket, then enjoyed his breakfast while contemplating which appliance to modify next.
Meanwhile, below the video of the min2 old model drone dominating the Silverwing drone in the obstacle race online, a netizen named "Baixiaosheng" suddenly proposed a new viewpoint.
"A min2 brand drone modified to this extent? Stop joking, this is clearly a high-end drone with a min2 shell!"
This viewpoint exploded like a thunderclap, instantly drawing a large number of supporters.
"It does seem like it? If pure modification can reach this level, give him a mainstream Da Jiang II series, and wouldn't he just go into space and travel around the universe."
"It's definitely a shell swap. If there were really a master with this ability, there would be plenty of high-end products for him to practice with, why would he bother modifying an outdated min2 drone!"
"Just a clown seeking attention, pretending to be a master modifier with a shell swap, it's disgusting..."
Soon, the discussion about the min2 on the forum took a different turn.
Liu Heng, sitting in his car, saw this and immediately became anxious. He couldn't tolerate Jing Mingqiu being slandered as a clown and quickly typed out an explanation.
"You don't need to doubt it, that drone was indeed modified from a min2, not a shell swap."
As soon as Liu Heng's words were posted, "Baixiaosheng," who had raised the initial doubts, immediately replied.
"You're that clown-like modifier, aren't you! If you want to fool people, use a more clever method. This obvious shell swap, anyone can see it. If this min2 drone is truly purely modified, I'll eat it on the spot!"
As soon as the post appeared, people immediately followed up, furiously posting.
"666."
"A gentleman's word is his bond!"
"Someone's trying to cheat us out of food and drink again!"
Seeing the replies, Liu Heng couldn't help but freeze. He didn't expect someone to try to cheat him out of food and drink. He quickly typed a retort!
