33: Adrenaline surges

With the formalities completed, the sales consultant and manager personally led them to the vehicle delivery area.

Lei Jun and the others looked at the car.

The matte black paint flowed with a liquid metal-like sheen under the custom spotlights, and the low-slung body resembled a predator poised to strike.

The honeycomb-shaped front grille was embedded with a bright silver 'EB' emblem, and the carbon fiber front splitter was so sharp it seemed capable of slicing through the air.

The most stunning feature was the full-width LED taillight at the rear, forming an aggressive arc with the exaggerated double-decker spoiler. Even parked, it exuded an intimidating presence.

"So this is the Chiron Super Sport 300+?"

Su Man couldn't help but step closer.

She had seen posters of this car model in fashion magazines, but the visual impact of the real thing was a hundred times stronger than any printed image.

The manager immediately stepped forward to introduce it.

"You have a discerning eye. This is the top-spec version, limited to just 30 units worldwide. It's powered by an 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbocharged engine, producing a maximum of 1600 horsepower, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 2.4 seconds."

"The paint is a custom matte black, infused with 2000 ultra-fine metal particles that create a sparkling, star-like shimmer in sunlight."

After the introduction, the manager respectfully presented the key with both hands.

"Ms. Lei, here are your keys. We wish you a pleasant driving experience."

Lei Jun took the keys and turned to Lin Wei and Su Man, who were still in a state of shock. "Want to go for a test drive together?"

Both nodded vigorously in unison.

Lin Wei directly stated that she would leave her own car parked nearby for now and pick it up another day. Right now, she absolutely had to experience this supercar.

The three walked towards the sports car.

They settled into the low-slung, form-fitting carbon fiber racing seats.

The interior was filled with a race-ready atmosphere while also being the epitome of luxury, with Alcantara upholstery and carbon fiber trim panels everywhere.

Lin Wei excitedly suggested, "Lei Jun, I know a place—the section of Lingang Avenue leading to the Donghai Bridge. The road conditions are excellent, and there's very little traffic. It's perfect for... experiencing the performance!"

Lei Jun nodded and started the engine.

A deep, powerful roar instantly erupted from the rear, like a beast awakening, vibrating through their chests and making their hearts race.

She lightly tapped the accelerator, and the car smoothly drove out of the showroom, merging into the traffic of the Shanghai.

When this dazzlingly cool, extravagantly styled Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ appeared on the streets, it instantly became the absolute center of attention.

Wherever it went, almost all eyes were drawn to it.

"Holy shit, a Bugatti! And it's a Chiron SS!"

"Look at that car! It's so damn cool. How much must that cost?"

"Wait, the driver is a woman, a silver-haired beauty. My god, which wealthy family's heiress is this?"

"This is way too cool! A luxury car paired with a beauty. I've truly witnessed it today!"

Pedestrians stopped in their tracks, casting looks of amazement, envy, and disbelief.

Even a sports car carrying a live-streaming influencer pulled up close. Seeing the Bugatti and Lei Jun in the driver's seat, the streamer became so excited they were practically speechless, and the live chat instantly exploded.

Lei Jun was already accustomed to all of this and remained perfectly composed.

Following Lin Wei's directions, she drove the car onto Lingang Avenue.

As the road widened and traffic became sparse, she glanced at Lin Wei in the passenger seat and Su Man in the back, warning them, "Hold on tight."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she pressed the accelerator hard. The immense G-force, like a massive wave, instantly pinned all three tightly against their seats. The scenery outside the windows blurred into streaks of color as it flew past.

The roar of the engine filled the cabin, stimulating their adrenaline to skyrocket.

Lin Wei and Su Man couldn't help but scream, but their shrieks were filled with sheer excitement and thrill.

After an exhilarating, full-throttle drive, Lei Jun slowly brought the car to a stop at a roadside viewing platform.

The three got out of the car. With the sea breeze brushing their faces, their moods were incredibly uplifted.

Lin Wei and Su Man still had excited blushes on their faces. Looking at the gleaming mechanical beast before them in the sunlight, and then at Lei Jun, who remained as calm as ever, their feelings of awe and admiration reached a peak.

The sea breeze tousled Lei Jun's silver hair as she leaned against the car door. With a slight thought, she summoned the system interface.

[Congratulations, host! Your system level has increased to 8!]

[Cash Source: As a Godly Tycoon, for every second you live on Earth, you receive a cash reward of 0.7 yuan.]

[Upgrade Experience: 0/20,000,000]

[A large expenditure has been detected, triggering a critical hit reward. Congratulations, host! You have obtained one lottery draw opportunity!]

0.7 yuan per second meant nearly 60,000 yuan in pure income per day.

Twenty million upgrade experience.

Having just spent 11 million, finding another 20-million-yuan expenditure project in the short term would indeed require careful planning.

Buy a private jet?

Or a yacht?

Those weren't bad options. No need to rush.

As for the lottery opportunity... Lei Jun decided to suppress her curiosity for now.

The previous few lottery draws had been surprises best enjoyed with focused anticipation. While it was lively having Su Man and Lin Wei around, it lacked a bit of the joy of opening a mystery box alone.

It would be better to wait until tonight when she was alone and quiet to draw. That way, she could also properly ponder the uses of any prizes.

Next, she opened the task list and found a new task had refreshed.

[godly tycoon mission: Go swimming at the Shanghai's 'Cloud Peak Horizon.' Mission Reward: 1000 godly tycoon coins.]

Cloud Peak Horizon?

Lei Jun checked on her phone. It was an extremely famous, top-tier club in the Shanghai, renowned for its transparent infinity pool located a hundred meters high in the air. It was a favorite social spot for celebrities and the wealthy.

Go swimming there?

Sure.

She closed the system interface and turned to Lin Wei and Su Man, who were excitedly taking photos around the car, and made a proposal.

"How about we find a place to relax?"

"I heard there's a nice rooftop pool in the Shanghai called 'Cloud Peak Horizon.' How about we go for a swim?"

"My treat."

Hearing this, Lin Wei and Su Man's faces briefly showed hesitation and a hint of embarrassment.

Although their family backgrounds were decent, a place like 'Cloud Peak Horizon' was still beyond their usual spending level. Having a newly-made friend treat them felt somewhat awkward.

They both waved their hands in refusal.

Lei Jun smiled and said sincerely, "I'm genuinely happy today. I picked up a new car and met two kindred-spirit friends like you."

"Swimming alone is boring. Consider it keeping me company, alright?"

Her words expressed her happiness while also giving the others a graceful way to accept.

Seeing Lei Jun so insistent and sincere, Lin Wei and Su Man exchanged a glance, stopped being coy, and happily nodded in agreement.

"Alright then. Today, we'll take advantage of your generosity and go see the legendary 'Cloud Peak Horizon'!"

The three of them drove towards the most upscale shopping mall in the city center.

Since they were going to a high-end venue, their swimwear naturally couldn't be an afterthought.

Lei Jun directly led them into a flagship store of an Italian luxury brand famous for its design and expensive fabrics.
