80: Guardian

Jiang Yuan picked up his phone and replied calmly.

"No need to make a fuss, just handle it as you see fit."

"This is just the first batch. I have some other assets overseas that are being transferred, and about 30 billion more will be gradually deposited in a while."

To soothe her emotions, Jiang Yuan casually fabricated a reason about "overseas assets."

The other side was silent for a full minute.

Finally, Gu Xinyu, with trembling hands, replied with one word.

"Awesome!"

She truly didn't know what to say; there was nothing left but to worship him.

Jiang Yuan smiled, his fingers rapidly tapping the screen, issuing new instructions.

"You have only one task now: manage Prosperous Stars well for me."

"Quit that bank job; it's meaningless."

"From now on, you are the CEO of the Prosperous Stars Foundation."

"I just transferred 1 billion in working capital to the company's public account."

"Go all out; I hope Prosperous Stars can develop quickly."

The send button was pressed.

Jiang Yuan looked at the golden roof of the Potala Palace outside the window, his gaze profound.

As his wealth expanded exponentially, his vision naturally broadened with it.

Since he possessed such heaven-defying abilities and endless money, he might as well do something truly meaningful.

"Our goal is to benefit all humanity."

This was not just a slogan.

When a person possesses resurrection and eternal life, their pursuit in the mortal world naturally transforms into leaving an indelible mark on this planet.

"I understand, Brother Jiang, I'll start handling it right away!"

Gu Xinyu's reply was quick. Although it was just simple text, one could almost feel her excited and trembling mood through the screen.

Jiang Yuan put away his phone and followed the navigation provided by the system.

This parking lot was located in a remote wasteland on the outskirts of Lhasa. As it was late at night, the surroundings were utterly silent.

Not to mention passersby, not even a stray dog could be seen.

Just as he turned a corner, Jiang Yuan's steps suddenly halted.

At the end of his vision, a massive object lay silently dormant in the darkness.

It was a vehicle that completely subverted Jiang Yuan's understanding.

Its size was between a heavy truck and a semi-trailer, two full sizes larger than the brabus g900 next to it, exerting immense pressure.

The body featured an ultimate black and white contrasting design, devoid of the clumsiness and bulk of traditional armored vehicles.

The lines were extremely smooth, as if it were a concept car driven directly from a sci-fi movie into reality.

Simple, yet exuding a breathtaking industrial aesthetic.

Jiang Yuan had just approached within three meters of the vehicle.

"Beep—"

There was no key, no fingerprint input.

A streak of light flashed across the side of the vehicle, and biological iris recognition was instantly completed.

That heavy yet silent side sliding door opened as smoothly as silk.

An electric running board with breathing light effects automatically extended to his feet, as if welcoming its monarch.

Jiang Yuan didn't rush to the cockpit but stepped into the rear living area.

The moment the door closed, the coldness and noise from outside were completely cut off.

What met his eyes was a sense of future technology that made him stare in awe.

There was no vulgar leather or solid wood; instead, there were unknown silver-white alloys and warm nano-materials.

"Hello, Master, I am your exclusive consultant—Xiao Jiu."

Light and shadow shimmered in the air.

A holographic projection of a two-dimensional girl dressed in a butler's uniform appeared out of thin air.

She bowed gracefully to Jiang Yuan, her voice as gentle as jade, without a hint of electronic synthesis or mechanical coldness.

"Hello."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, unable to hide the astonishment in his eyes.

Looking around, this was not a car at all; it was a mobile future palace.

Upon entering, there was a spacious small living room connected to an open-plan multi-functional kitchen.

Through an induction door was a cozy master bedroom.

The rear even featured a separate wet and dry bathroom, with every inch of space utilized to the extreme.

Though small, it had all the essential organs.

Jiang Yuan sat on the seemingly simple bed, and the rebound felt even more comfortable than the mattresses in the best hotels he had stayed in.

In this confined space, he felt no sense of oppression; instead, there was an indescribable sense of security.

"I'll sleep here tonight."

Jiang Yuan made the decision immediately.

Since everything was here, there was no need to bother with a hotel.

He took out his phone and contacted a professional shipping company.

The white brabus g900 that had accompanied him on his journey had served its purpose.

It would be shipped back to Beijing.

Before this, Jiang Yuan had already asked Gu Xinyu to purchase a detached villa under renovation on the outskirts of Beijing.

It had a sufficiently large underground and above-ground garage, where not only the pagani was parked, but also where this brabus would eventually reside.

Having arranged all trivial matters.

Jiang Yuan came to the foremost cockpit.

Sitting in the main driver's seat, which provided a strong sense of enclosure, his palm caressed the futuristic half-yoke steering wheel.

"Xiao Jiu, introduce the functions of this vehicle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge panoramic windshield in front of him instantly transformed into a transparent display screen.

Xiao Jiu's figure playfully appeared in his field of vision.

"Master, the vehicle you are currently in is named—[Guardian]."

"It is a top-tier creation custom-built by the system based on the rules of this plane. With current technology, it cannot be measured by money; it is priceless."

"The on-board intelligent system can scan and infiltrate 100% of global networks within three seconds."

"In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor, supplemented by high-efficiency solar and air energy harvesting devices, giving it theoretically infinite range."

"It is a standard amphibious vehicle, capable of not only all-terrain off-roading but also deep-sea navigation."

At this point, Xiao Jiu paused, seemingly to display the most impressive data.

"In terms of defense, the outer shell uses cosmic alloy, which can ignore any physical and energy attacks except for the central explosion of a hydrogen bomb."

"In terms of performance, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 0.3 seconds, and its top speed is locked at 680 KM/h."

Listening to this string of absurd data.

Even though Jiang Yuan had mentally prepared himself, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

Is this even a car?

This was clearly an invincible fortress disguised as an RV!

0.3 seconds to 100 km/h?

If the gravity damping system wasn't activated, this acceleration could directly crush the internal organs of an ordinary person!

"System products are indeed unreasonable."

Jiang Yuan looked at the night outside the window, his eyes gleaming with fervent light.

That night, he didn't feel like he was sleeping in the cold wilderness of Lhasa.

Instead, he was resting in the vast and boundless cosmic galaxy.

"Holographic simulation mode, activate."

With Xiao Jiu's soft whisper, the physical barriers within the cabin seemed to dissolve and vanish instantly.

His vision was infinitely stretched.

Up, down, left, and right were no longer metal walls but dazzling, profound nebulae billions of light-years away.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, as if his entire being was suspended in the vacuum of deep space.

He reached out curiously, grabbing at the most dazzling point of light in the void.

The next second, a miniature "sun" actually slowly fell into his palm.

If it were merely visual deception, this wouldn't be considered black technology.

But what made Jiang Yuan's scalp tingle was that he actually felt "weight."

It was a tangible sense of mass.

A slight tremor came from his palm, accompanied by the unique warmth of a burning star, and he could even feel faint gravitational waves flowing between his fingertips.

If he didn't look around, relying solely on touch, he would absolutely believe he was holding a living thing in his hand.

This force feedback technology had completely surpassed humanity's existing VR concepts.

Jiang Yuan, feeling playful, squeezed the simulated sun like a child with a new toy.

It felt springy, and the warmth was just right.

A moment later, with a thought, he issued a command.

"Turn off holographic."

Whoosh.

The galaxy dissipated, and the sun extinguished.

Darkness enveloped him once more, and by the moonlight outside the window, he saw his palm was still empty.

This extreme contrast, straddling the line between illusion and reality, was simply miraculous.

In this transcendent "Guardian" vehicle, the boundary between dream and reality had been completely broken.
