Ready

16: My stomach hurts so much... I'm going into labor.

Lei Jun reclined lazily on the sofa, scrolling through her phone while taking small bites of Häagen-Dazs.

The cool, sweet texture melted on her tongue, making her squint her eyes comfortably.

Just then, the familiar crisp sound of the system notification rang in her mind:

[Ding, System upgraded to Level 6]

[Source of Wealth: As a Godly Tycoon, for every second you live on Earth, you will receive a cash reward of 0.5 yuan]

[Upgrade Experience: 0/500,000]

[Large consumption triggers critical hit reward. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a lucky draw chance]

0.5 yuan per second?

That's 43,200 yuan a day.

Facing such a large amount of money daily, Lei Jun was already very calm.

With a slight thought, she started the lucky draw.

The deep blue virtual wheel spun rapidly, finally stopping on an icon shimmering with musical note light.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Sound of Nature]"

"Your voice will receive god-level optimization and enhancement. The tone is clear and ethereal, extremely penetrating and infectious, making anyone who hears it feel enchanted."

Sound of Nature?

Lei Jun blinked, feeling a bit curious.

She instinctively cleared her throat and tried saying, "Hello?"

With just those two words, the cool and pleasant quality of the sound made even her startle slightly.

This voice... it really seems different!

She couldn't help but softly hum a familiar pop song.

The ethereal and graceful melody flowed out naturally. Every note was precise and full, the tone so pure it didn't seem like something a mortal could possess.

With an indescribable magic, it echoed gently in the spacious living room.

She herself was a bit mesmerized listening to it. After the song ended, she still wanted more, deeply intoxicated by the perfect voice coming from this body.

Not bad.

Sweet.

[Ding!]

[Mission Refresh: host, please go to the city's most high-end 'Phantom Styling' art salon for a comprehensive hair design and care. Mission Reward: 1,000 godly tycoon coins.]

Get my hair done?

Lei Jun touched her long silver hair.

Sure.

Change the hairstyle, change the mood.

She put down the ice cream cup, picked up the Hermès bag beside her... then headed out, nimbly straddling the black harley-davidson parked in the underground garage.

The engine let out a low, powerful roar as she sped toward the mission location.

Just as Lei Jun turned past the third intersection, she suddenly heard a cry filled with a sobbing tone.

"Help... help me... my stomach hurts so much... I'm about to give birth!"

On the sidewalk by the road, a pregnant woman was curled up on the ground, her hands tightly clutching her bulging lower abdomen.

Strands of hair on her forehead were stuck to her pale face, and every breath she took was filled with tearing pain.

Lei Jun didn't hesitate for a second. She swung her long legs over the bike, got off, and rushed to the pregnant woman's side.

When her palm touched the other's arm, she only felt a cold dampness.

"Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

The pregnant woman looked up with difficulty. Seeing that exquisite face with silver hair and snow-white skin, a flash of daze passed through her eyes, which was immediately pulled back to reality by the intense pain.

Lei Jun supported and held her, carefully avoiding her abdomen, and steadily helped her onto the back seat of the motorcycle: "Hold tight to my waist, don't let go."

The pregnant woman reached out with trembling hands and tightly wrapped them around Lei Jun's waist.

The engine roared again, and the black harley sped like an arrow from a bow toward the nearest Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital shown on the navigation.

Before long, they were at a busy intersection, where they were completely blocked by an endless line of traffic.

It was peak rush hour; vehicles were barely moving, and horns were blaring one after another.

The moans of the pregnant woman on the back seat became increasingly painful, and her fingers gripping Lei Jun's waist almost dug into her flesh.

Lei Jun felt the pain at her waist, but she could feel the urgency of the life behind her even more.

Time waits for no one!

She suddenly twisted the handlebar. The engine let out an even more violent roar. The harley motorcycle, like a wild horse off its leash, instantly accelerated. The needle quickly passed 80 km/h, 100 km/h... Soon, the motorcycle approached an exceptionally crowded fork in the road where vehicles were intertwined and gaps were narrow.

Seeing that it was about to collide with the two cars ahead, the surrounding drivers and pedestrians all saw this thrilling scene.

"Hey, are you crazy? Stop!" a driver shouted, poking his head out in horror.

"Watch out, you're going to crash!" a girl on the roadside covered her mouth in fear, trembling.

Many people didn't even dare to keep their eyes open.

The pregnant woman on the back seat also closed her eyes in despair.

However, at the moment everyone thought tragedy was inevitable... Lei Jun was terrifyingly calm. Her god-level driving skills made the world in her eyes slow down; every angle and every gap was crystal clear.

With a flick of her wrist, the bike tilted slightly at a near-impossible angle, passing through the narrow gap between those two cars with incredible precision.

The speed was so fast that it only left a black afterimage and a long engine roar.

The people who had covered their eyes didn't hear a crash for a long time. They lowered their hands only to see that the harley had already sped away, and they were all instantly stunned.

"I... holy crap, she made it?"

"How is this possible?"

"That rider... is a silver-haired beauty! Those driving skills are insane!"

"Going that fast with a passenger, she's like a cow chasing a bull..."

"What's the punchline?"

"She's freaking awesome!"

...On the other side, a traffic policeman on duty at an intersection received a report from the command center.

"Attention!"

"A black harley motorcycle is severely speeding and heading in your direction. Set up a blockade immediately!"

Just as the words were spoken, a bolt of black lightning accompanied by a massive engine roar whistled past him, the strong airflow even lifting the edge of his clothes.

The traffic policeman stood there dumbfounded.

An anxious inquiry came from the walkie-talkie: "What's the situation? Did you stop it?"

The traffic policeman swallowed with difficulty and muttered: "I... I think I saw a gust of wind... that speed was definitely over 140 kilometers per hour!"

...However, on the last mandatory road leading to the nearest hospital, a car accident had occurred, and the road was completely blocked. Even Lei Jun's god-level skills couldn't pass through here.

The pregnant woman's wails became more frequent and painful.

Lei Jun gritted her teeth and turned the bike around without hesitation... She could only take the long way around and go through the mountain pass!

Although it was far, it was the only option that wasn't blocked.

She drove toward the famous Dragon's Spine Mountain Road on the outskirts of Dragon City.

This mountain road was famous for being steep, rugged, and having sharp turns and steep slopes.

It had the deadly nine consecutive hairpin turns.

At the same time, it was also a holy land in the hearts of extreme racing enthusiasts, attracting top drivers from around the world with its ultra-high difficulty.

And today, a world-class professional road race was being held here: the Dragon's Spine Mountain Extreme Challenge.

Top drivers from around the world and modified racing cars worth tens of millions were gathered here.

The crowds on both sides of the mountain road were massive, and the atmosphere was fanatical.
