“They didn’t agree to your idea of starting the project, at least not for now...”

“Throat... what a pity... otherwise, why don’t we just ditch them and do it ourselves?”

“We don’t have the time or energy, and Golden Experience and Steel Chain Fingers are game studios, not event planning studios...”

“So, this thing’s just going to be dropped like that...?”

The sun was shining brightly.

The pitch-black Navigator smoothly parked into a spot under the guidance of the security guard at the sales office.

Click.

Gu Sheng unfastened his seatbelt and shook his head with a smile:

“No, I gave them a compromise plan, and they agreed.”

Beside him, Shen Miaomiao in the passenger seat pressed the electric seat button to straighten the half-reclined backrest, then took her feet clad in cute lace white socks off the dashboard and slipped on her sneakers.

She then pressed the sticker above the glove compartment that read [Director Shen’s Exclusive Seat]:

“The edges are peeling off; I’ll make an iron plate and screw it on with self-tapping screws later...”

Gu Sheng almost spat out his water:

“Please spare my car, okay?”

“Shout—”

Shen Miaomiao wrinkled her nose and made a funny face:

“Cheapskate.”

With that, the two opened their doors and got out.

“Oh, right,”

Shen Miaomiao grabbed her small shoulder bag and closed the door, saying:

“Did the event investment increase?”

“It did,”

Gu Sheng nodded:

“It doubled from the original 7.6 million dollars to a total event cost of 16 million.”

Not bad.

It was the third day after Gu Sheng and the Golden Bull side of Tiansi submitted the new event proposal.

After a night of contemplation and discussion, Xu Zhixing and Matt finally agreed to the risky but rewarding, silly yet extreme [Golden Bull Extreme Challenge] event.

“But one point hasn’t been finalized yet,”

Gu Sheng said as they walked toward the parking lot exit:

“Due to the increased total investment and the high risk of the event, the Tiansi side raised a small objection about their investment ratio...”

“Oh? High risk?”

Shen Miaomiao raised an eyebrow:

“What kind of event?”

“The soapbox car challenge...”

Gu Sheng briefly explained the ridiculous and absurd challenge to Shen Miaomiao.

But before he could continue with the details about the no-parachute descent, Shen Miaomiao was already laughing uncontrollably.

Hahahahaha, this is way too stupid!

How could you say “high risk” in the same sentence!

And who would even pay attention to such a silly contest?

She used to worry about Old Gu’s crazy mind coming up with some weird but brilliant challenge.

In the end, it was just having contestants ride in small cars with no brakes down a steep hill!

So dumb.

What kind of promotional effect could this broken thing even have?

Extreme sports events are rarely organized, so they attract few people, and you still make it a silly kids’ event.

No wonder Tiansi Bull doesn’t want to split the investment evenly.

Not to mention Matt and Xu Zhixing are experienced businessmen.

Even if it were me without a system, I’d probably tell you to pack up and go see a doctor right away.

Shen Miaomiao was laughing so hard.

“...Okay, okay, okay,”

She nodded repeatedly and even patted Gu Sheng’s shoulder:

“This has potential, young man. I like the idea. So how much is Tiansi Bull willing to invest?”

“Well... they want a 60/40 split. They pay 40% of the cost and take 40% of the promotion space,”

Gu Sheng gestured:

“They’re putting in 6.4 million.”

“Hey—”

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao waved her hand:

“Why so exact? Round off the extra 400,000 for them. We do 10 million, they do 6 million.”

What a big fool!

Shen Miaomiao thought bitterly.

For such a dumb event, Tiansi Bull is still willing to cover 40% of the cost?

It really feels like they’re tricking fools into spending money.

Still, Shen Miaomiao felt a little reluctant.

She had a system.

Whether it was 10 million or 20 million, she could just throw it out because the returns would definitely be much higher than what she invested.

So no matter how silly Gu Sheng’s event plan was, she could agree to it wholeheartedly.

But Tiansi Bull was different!

Their money was real cash!

If they shelled it out and got no results, it would be a real loss!

She was confident wasting her own money.

But wasting other people’s money... Shen Miaomiao felt a bit guilty.

“Hmm...”

Gu Sheng thought for a moment.

Tiansi Bull would definitely be happy to accept this.

They get to spend less and still enjoy 40% of the promotion space. Who wouldn’t like that?

But don’t forget, Gu Sheng was not someone to be taken lightly!

He could let go of that 400,000 cost but only if it was worth more than that!

Like...

Gu Sheng’s eyes flicked.

Like the safety net for the no-parachute high-altitude descent.

The reason why both Golden Wind and Tiansi Bull were hosting this joint extreme challenge was to promote their brands.

In other words, they wanted all the ad space in the event:

such as on the venue barriers, the soapbox car logos, the airplane used for the parachute drop, and especially

that huge net catching Ike’s landing!

If their logos or project symbols were printed on it,

when Ike succeeded, he would safely fall into the giant net under everyone’s eyes, covered with their brands!

Originally, according to the plan, Golden Wind and Tiansi Bull had clearly divided ad spaces in the no-parachute drop—

the airplane body belonged to Golden Wind, the wings to Tiansi Bull.

Ike’s professional parachuting suit had Golden Wind on the back and Tiansi Bull on the chest.

The two professional parachute coaches around Ike wore outfits fully printed with Golden Wind’s logo.

As for the safety net,

it was supposed to be a 50/50 split between the two.

But now!

Little Nezha proactively offered to waive 400,000 for Tiansi Bull.

It was their first cooperation, and Tiansi Bull came running to them.

Gu Sheng didn’t have such a kind heart to hand over 400,000 so easily.

That money, he could give.

He could even make some concessions on the plane, flight suit, coaches’ clothes, and parachute canopy, letting them have some small logo placements.

But that huge 2,500-square-meter super net—

he wanted it all!

Thinking this, Gu Sheng nodded:

“Alright, I’ll talk to Tiansi later to see if they accept.”

Hearing this,

Shen Miaomiao paused, looked at Gu Sheng strangely, then smiled:

“Would they not accept free money? It doesn’t affect their ad space share.”

“Mm,” Gu Sheng didn’t explain further but smiled gently and nodded, “I’ll tell them later.”

As they spoke,

the two arrived at the entrance to the landscaped tree-lined path outside the sales office.

“Hey, wait!”

Just as they were about to go in, Shen Miaomiao suddenly stopped and grabbed Gu Sheng.

“What?”

Gu Sheng looked at Little Nezha in confusion, wondering what mischief she was up to again.

“Look!”

Shen Miaomiao held out her small hand.

Gu Sheng blinked in confusion, then raised his hand and gave Little Nezha a high five with a slap:

“...Yeah?”

A flock of crows flew over Shen Miaomiao’s head as she pulled Gu Sheng’s arm:

“I’m teasing you, big-headed ghost!”

Saying that, her small hand slipped inside Gu Sheng’s elbow, hooking around him: “Today is the collective handover day for the owners! Peng Qianqian will come too! If we’re putting on a show, we have to go all out, understand?”

“See...”

Gu Sheng opened his mouth.

My bad, I forgot to tell her before.

We’re just pretending. That chubby guy Peng Qianqian already has someone special—his iron hammer sister.

You don’t like him and treat him like a monster, but he’s pouting ‘Going to Sichuan and Chongqing wives to enjoy a miserable life’!

“How to pass?”

Seeing Gu Sheng hesitating, Little Nezha raised an eyebrow and asked:

“What else?”

“Hand out.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Sheng lifted his arm to signal Little Nezha to withdraw her hand,

then held Shen Miaomiao’s small hand:

“This is more like it.”

Shen Miaomiao was first stunned, then a blush floated onto her cheeks as she intertwined her slender, scallion-white fingers with his:

“This... this is more like it...

...

“This this this... what kind of look is this! No, redo!!!”

That day!

At Zhongjing Yiyou Technology Company.

Inside the CEO’s office.

Yan Sheng looked at the design drawing in his hand, his brows twisted into a knot.

The drawing in his hand was of a four-wheeled small car.

The chassis was very simple, with only a drive linkage and four small wheels.

But!

The car’s shell was quite fancy—

Under Yiyou’s blue and black theme, the whole body was designed in the shape of a low-slung racing car, somewhat like a Koenigsegg supercar.

“What can you see from this? Hm?”

Yan Sheng was very dissatisfied with the design:

“We’re a platform for games and motion-sensing pods. You design a racing car shape? Are we selling supercars?”

“But...”

Facing the CEO’s criticism, the art design team leader looked very innocent:

“Boss, we wanted to just slap the logo on it, but they didn’t agree...”

“Pfft!”

Yan Sheng frowned at this:

“No logo means no design elements of our own? Tell me, how did Xunteng do it?”

“See...”

The art leader thought for a moment and lowered his voice:

“Apparently, theirs is a polar bear-shaped three-wheeler.”

Slap!

“That’s perfect!”

Yan Sheng clapped his hands and patiently explained:

“Xunteng has been copying for a lifetime. Now it’s our turn to copy their design idea.”

“Their symbol is a polar bear. What’s ours?”

“Ah... a shark,” the art leader said.

Yes.

Yiyou’s logo was a simple shark fin breaking the water’s surface, symbolizing dominance in the sea of game art.

“That’s right!”

Saying this, Yan Sheng grabbed a pen and sketched on the design drawing:

“The shark image represents our original corporate image.”

“Then, on both sides of the shark car, we add a pair of eagle wings, symbolizing our omnipotence, soaring through sky and land.”

“Not only does it have a good meaning, but it can also help stabilize airflow.”

Hearing this, the art leader carefully raised his hand: “Boss... it has no power, so it doesn’t need a tail wing to stabilize airflow...”

“Tsk,”

Yan Sheng clicked his tongue and pushed the sketch aside:

“So many pointless words, just change it like this! We want the design to be way ahead of Xunteng!”

“Alright!”

The art leader quickly nodded, took the CEO’s design drawing with both hands, and left the office.

Walking down the corridor, the art leader carefully examined Yan Sheng’s design drawing.

The more he looked, the stranger it seemed.

Shark...

Eagle wings...

This damn...

The art leader stopped in his tracks.

Yan Sheng was designing a shark sculpture car!!!

Yes!

After the deal between Gu Sheng and Tiansi Bull was finalized!

The two sides signed a cooperation agreement with an investment ratio of 10 million to 6 million, deciding to jointly hold the [Golden Bull Extreme Challenge—Soapbox Car Challenge]!

After signing the cooperation agreement, both sides immediately took action.

Although the soapbox car challenge was not their world’s original creation,

it was the first time this was treated as a competition with a dedicated track and event.

Thus, an awkward situation arose—

no one signed up!

After all, this thing was way too silly, it looked obviously fake.

Even when Golden Wind’s official Twitter and Gu Sheng’s personal social media jointly announced the event, responses were sparse.

Most players thought it was some new game teaser from Golden Wind.

They all replied, “Little Yellow is making abstract games again, looking forward to it...”

When the news came,

Shen Miaomiao burst out laughing.

Because at this moment,

her first [Promotion Project] order had been created—

[Promotion Sub-Project: Golden Bull Challenge]

[Project Investment Amount: 10 million dollars]

[Project Settlement Time: 7 days (+0 days)]

[Project Return Rate: 100 times (+0 times)]

[Current Revenue: 0 dollars]

[Expected Return: 1 billion dollars]

[Remaining Settlement Time: Waiting to start]

Not bad!

Although the event was classified as an [Event Project], since it was a real extreme sports event derived from Peak Kingdom,

it still belonged to Peak Kingdom’s sub-projects, inheriting and enjoying the 100x multiplier Shen Miaomiao had previously set!

Small investment, big returns!

Shen Miaomiao was proud!

Shen Miaomiao was confident!

Shen Miaomiao was solidly in command!

Little did she know!

Seeing that recruiting ordinary players was hopeless, Gu Sheng, Xu Zhixing, and Moriya immediately changed tactics after a meeting!

Since outsiders wouldn’t join,

they had to rely on their circle’s partners!

So!

Both sides started mobilizing their connections, pulling in various companies to participate.

Who Tiansi Bull specifically invited, Gu Sheng didn’t know.

But without a doubt, on his side, none of the game companies could escape.

From big ones like Yiyou and Xunteng, to medium-sized ones like Meiying Technology, Qunfeng Games, Jiahua Games, Jifeng Studio, and so on.

Even large game media like Dada Youbao, Player Campfire, and Motion-Sensing Pod media were pulled in, joining this silly little car carnival!

Once this massive mobilization started,

the unprecedented hype for this silly competition exploded beyond control...
