My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.

The atmosphere in Su Qing's office was much more relaxed.

Upon seeing the big boss on inspection, Su Qing immediately reported the revenue report for June.

Although there are still two days left until the end of the month, the financial forecast data is already extremely impressive—monthly revenue has exceeded 1.48 million!

This is even better than the brilliant results in May.

"The main reason is that the registration deadline for the martial arts tournament is approaching."

Su Qing explained with a smile, "In order to qualify for the competition, all the players on the server are leveling up like crazy, and the rate at which they consume game cards and monthly cards is terrifying."

When this topic came up, Chen Feng casually asked, "How many players on the entire server have reached level 40 now?"

Su Qing checked the backend data and replied, "As of this morning, more than 4,800 people have reached the target. In addition, there are still a large number of people stuck at level 39."

"When we were planning the event, the operations team listened to your suggestion and slightly adjusted the experience curve after level 35 to lower the leveling threshold."

"Otherwise, according to the original setting, leveling up from 39 to 40 would be an insurmountable barrier, and it would take at least a month to grind through. If the threshold is too high, too few people will be able to participate, and the event won't generate much buzz."

"This is perfect now. Once the tournament starts on July 10th and the three legendary artifacts have found their owners, we'll immediately release the new version and launch the War of the Dragons."

"The level cap has been raised to 60."

"This ensures both high participation rates and extends the game's lifespan, achieving two goals at once."

Chen Feng nodded approvingly.

Since handing over the entire gaming business to Su Qing, he has essentially become a hands-off manager.

Looking back now, it seems my judgment was right; this girl is indeed a skilled player, with a very steady rhythm.

"Okay, I trust you to handle the game-related matters. Also, how's the preparation for Legendary Night going? Has the guest list been finalized?"

"There's still a venue, right? It didn't break down, did it?" Chen Feng asked with concern.

Su Qing said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. We've reached agreements with the Yu Quan duo, the recently popular pop star Jay Chou, and the queen of the music scene. The contracts have already been signed."

"The venue was booked long ago, right at the Shanghai Stadium, it's definitely impressive."

"very good."

Chen Feng concluded his inspection with satisfaction.

July has quietly arrived, and the sweltering heat of midsummer envelops the land of China.

In internet cafes across the country, air conditioners hummed, and countless shirtless teenagers screamed wildly at their screens, making a final sprint for the last spot in the competition.

Meanwhile, major local TV channels in Shanghai began frequently broadcasting a video featuring a character with a peculiar style.

A cool young man rode the "Storm One" and easily climbed the steep slope under the watchful eyes of the crowd, leaving behind a dashing declaration of "I refuse to push the bike."

......

A bicycle shop on the street in Zhabei District, Shanghai.

Zhou Yang, a college graduate who had just graduated, was standing at the door, staring blankly at a row of electric bicycles.

He recently changed jobs, and the company is a bit far from his rented apartment. Taking the bus is too tiring, and taking a taxi is too expensive, so buying a small electric scooter for transportation has become a necessity.

"Hey handsome, looking at a car?"

The proprietress was a kind-hearted Shanghai auntie. She spotted a customer coming in and immediately came out, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

"Auntie, I want to buy an electric scooter to ride to work."

Zhou Yang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "But my colleagues told me that this thing is very delicate, it breaks easily, and it can't climb even a slight slope, so you have to get off and push it. Do you have any reliable ones here?"

"Well, you've come at the right time!"

The proprietress slapped her thigh and pointed to a sleek, silver-gray electric scooter in the corner, saying, "If you had come a couple of days earlier, I wouldn't have dared to guarantee it to you. But a new batch just arrived yesterday, called Storm One, and it really works!"

"Storm One?" Zhou Yang curiously leaned closer.

"Yes! It was originally manufactured by Luyuan Factory, but it has now been acquired by the big boss and the technology has been fully upgraded."

The proprietress enthusiastically introduced the car, "I heard it uses some kind of high-speed motor imported from America, the power is incredible! Other cars can only go up to 20 km/h, but this one can easily reach 45 km/h!"

"The most crucial thing is its hill-climbing ability; it's truly amazing. Yesterday, the delivery guy rode this bike all the way up that steep hill in front of our door without even breaking a sweat!"

"Really? Is it that amazing?" Zhou Yang was somewhat skeptical.

"Hey, you don't believe me? Auntie will take you for a walk!"

The proprietress was an impatient woman. Without saying a word, she pushed out the bike, straddled the seat, and exclaimed, "Get on! Let me show you what it means to go lightning fast!"

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then got on the back seat.

"Hold on tight!"

The proprietress shouted and suddenly twisted the handle with her right hand.

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by the distinctive buzzing sound of the motor, the car shot off like an arrow.

Zhou Yang was startled and instinctively grabbed the back seat armrest.

The acceleration is definitely much better than when he used to hitch a ride with his colleagues!

Before long, the two arrived at the approach bridge of a nearby overpass.

"Watch closely, we're going up now!"

The proprietress stepped on the gas, and the car steadily climbed up the slope.

Zhou Yang originally thought the speed would slow down, and was even prepared to jump off the vehicle and push it forward at any time.

Unexpectedly, the car drove like it was on flat ground, with a continuous flow of power and no signs of weakening.

We sped to the top of the bridge in one go. The shopkeeper stopped the car, turned around, and asked triumphantly, "How was that? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Zhou Yang was completely convinced and nodded repeatedly: "That's amazing! This power is simply unbeatable!"

Back in the shop, Zhou Yang looked at the "Storm One" from all angles, liking it more and more each time he looked at it.

"Auntie, how much is this car?"

"Seeing that you're a straightforward person, here's the price: 2680!" The proprietress held up two fingers.

"2680?"

Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat. "This is several hundred yuan more expensive than the car next to it."

"You get what you pay for!"

The proprietress patiently advised, "Don't you think about it? Can other cars go this fast? Can they climb such steep hills? Besides, this car uses a BYD battery, which is very durable!"

"If you buy a cheap car, it'll break down every few days, and the repair costs will be enough to buy another one. It's better to go for a reliable one from the start."

Zhou Yang thought about it and realized that it made sense.

"Okay! Auntie, could you give me a discount? I'm a recent graduate and I'm a bit short on cash."

The proprietress sighed, feigning difficulty, "Oh dear, this car was expensive to buy... Oh well, since you're such an honest young man, I'll round it down for you, 2600 each! And I'll throw in a big lock for free!"

"make a deal!"

Zhou Yang paid the money readily, rode off happily on his brand-new "Storm One".

"That's too fast! That speed is absolutely overwhelming."

On the road, Zhou Yang gripped the handlebars, listening to the wind whistling past his ears, and watching the bicycles and other electric bikes he had easily left behind. An unprecedented sense of exhilaration welled up in his heart.

When he encountered a slow car blocking his way, he naturally honked his horn, making two crisp "beep" sounds to signal the other car to give way.

After the passersby scattered in panic, Zhou Yang gently twisted his right hand, and the car shot off like an arrow, leaving the passersby with only a dashing silhouette.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Zhou Yang caught a glimpse of the astonishment and envy in the eyes of passersby, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

This "superior" riding experience became somewhat addictive for him.

So much so that in the latter half of the journey, whenever he saw a car ahead, he couldn't help but honk his horn to overtake it, enjoying the thrill of leaving others far behind.

......

"Holy crap! Zhou Yang, has your car been modified? It's like it's flying!"

I had just ridden into the staff dormitory compound when I bumped into a few colleagues who were about to leave.

The group watched in disbelief as Zhou Yang suddenly stopped in front of them from dozens of meters away. They all stared wide-eyed and crowded around, asking him all sorts of questions.

Zhou Yang parked the car, patted the brand-new seat, and said with a smug look, "Just got a new car, it's called Storm One. How about it, cool, right?"

"This bike is incredibly powerful, with a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour! The best part is its hill climbing ability; you don't need to get off and push it at all. Just twist the throttle and it goes up. It's way better than those old-fashioned bikes we usually ride."

The colleagues were stunned.

"Really? 45 kilometers? And you can go straight down the slope?"

Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow: "Why would I lie to you? When I bought the car, the shop owner's wife personally drove me up and down the ramp of the overpass, right? I went up it with ease. On the way back, I also tried several hills, and it was like driving on flat ground."

"If you don't believe me, who wants to come up here? I'll take him for a spin and see."

Having "showed off" all the way back, Zhou Yang was still not satisfied. Seeing his colleagues' skepticism, he became even more interested and couldn't wait to show off again.

Several colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although it sounded a bit far-fetched, seeing Zhou Yang's confident demeanor and the car's undeniably sharp design, I was already 80% convinced.

After all, everyone knows each other well, and Zhou Yang isn't usually the type to brag.

Someone crouched down, tapped on the car's exterior, and asked, "This car looks nice, it must have been expensive, right? How much did you pay for it?"

All eyes were once again focused on Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang said casually, "It's alright, not too expensive. The proprietress gave me a fair price of two thousand six."

"Two thousand six?"

The group exchanged glances, each pondering their own plans.

"This price...is really reasonable. Those no-name brand cars on the market cost over two thousand these days, they're slow and the batteries are prone to failure. This car has such great performance, and it's only a few hundred more, it's worth it!"

"Yeah, just the fact that you don't have to push the bike uphill makes it worth the price of admission. The frame looks sturdy too, much better than my old, beat-up bike."

Zhou Yang then added, "This uses imported technology for the motor, and the battery is from BYD. I had to haggle and plead to get this price down; I heard the cost of this configuration is quite high, and the manufacturer's profit margin is very thin."

Hearing this, the colleague who had first inquired about the price finally became interested and eagerly asked, "Zhou Yang, where is this shop? We're off today anyway, can you take us to see it? I also want to get a new one; pushing this cart up the bridge every day is too much of a hassle."

"Yes, yes, let's go together! If it's really that good, let's form a group, maybe we can even get a better price!"
