“Why does it feel like I’m always so busy whenever 1 return to Modu?” Zhou Chao sighed while lying on the sofa.

“System, I want to check-in!”

“Ding, check-in successful! Congratulations, the host has won a Hennessy Venom GT.”

Zhou Chao was about to ask where the car was when his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but after a moment of contemplation, he answered.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou, I’m Annie, the head of Hennessy’s Huaxia region. Your customized Hennessy Venom GT has arrived. When would you be available for a car inspection?” Zhou Chao listened and then got up from the sofa.

“Where are you guys located?”

“Mr. Zhou, our headquarters are located at Lujiazui.”

“Alright, I’m nearby. I’ll come right over!” Zhou Chao got up, grabbed the keys to the Lamborghini Veneno, and headed out.

The engine roared to life as Zhou Chao drove out of The Palms Residence.

“Oh my god! Veneno, Veneno! It’s actually the Lamborghini Veneno!”

“Wow, it’s the Lamborghini Veneno! There are only ten of these worldwide! It’s incredible to see one here in Modu. The owner must be incredibly wealthy!” Zhou Chao heard excited exclamations from nearby lanes as he waited at a red light. He glanced over, but the people there appeared to be quite young, so he didn’t pay much attention to them and patiently waited for the light to turn green.

Soon, the light turned green, and Zhou Chao disappeared into the flow of traffic. His journey attracted a lot of attention, and some people even posted about it online. Although he hadn’t driven the car much, every time he took it out, it drew the attention of onlookers.

In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the headquarters of Hennessy’s Huaxia region’s modification factory. As soon as Zhou Chao drove in, he caught the attention of everyone. He parked the car in a vacant spot, and a beautiful lady approached.

“Hello, sir, may I assist you?”

“I’m here to see Annie!” Zhou Chao looked at the sexy lady in her black LO professional attire with an appreciative glance. He then turned his gaze inside.

“This way, sir.”

“No need, I’ll wait for her outside!” The lady was tactful and didn’t insist. She turned and walked inside.

“Mr. Zhou, hello!” Soon, a foreign lady came out.

“Hello, where’s my car?” Zhou Chao got straight to the point, leaving Annie momentarily surprised.

“Mr. Zhou, please come this way.” Zhou Chao followed Annie to a nearby open area. There was a container on the ground, and three middle-aged men soon arrived with tools to start unpacking it. In less than ten minutes, an eye-catching supercar appeared before Zhou Chao.

He drove the car out directly, and the yellow body made him extremely pleased. It had a different feel from the Veneno, and Zhou Chao instantly fell in love with it.

“It’s perfect!” Zhou Chao parked the car next to the Veneno after a quick test drive, and he was very satisfied with it.

After completing the handover procedures with Annie, Zhou Chao was ready to drive the Hennessy Venom GT back home.

“Miss Annie, could you please find a gentleman to drive my car back? My home is just nearby”

“Certainly, Mr. Zhou!” Annie promptly organized for an employee to drive Zhou Chao’s Veneno, accompanying him as they left the modification factory.

With both supercars on the road, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and even many pedestrians took out their phones to snap pictures. Zhou Chao’s journey back home was smooth, and soon both supercars arrived at The Palms Residence, leaving some passersby in awe.

“Thank you. Here’s some money for a coffee.” Zhou Chao handed several hundred yuan to the male employee and then walked away with the keys.

The next morning, Zhou Chao slept in until around 10 o’clock, stretched lazily, and got out of bed. He saw the bright sun outside and realized it was going to be a beautiful day.

Zhou Chao spent the morning leisurely at home, indulging in various activities until 1 o’clock when he embarked on his journey in the Hennessy Venom GT. Approximately thirty minutes later, he arrived at the Modu Racecourse, drawing the attention of bystanders once more during his journey.

Upon reaching the racecourse, Zhou Chao was unsurprisingly stopped again, and it was the same security guard. Zhou Chao chuckled and took out his phone to call Qin Fen.

“Qin Fen, I’m being held outside again! Can you send someone to help me?” “Chao’er, are you trying to amuse me? Alright, I’ll call Qin Lang to come out!” Zhou Chao hung up, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, a gift from Xiao Yang when he was in Jingdu. He had already smoked two packs.

“Hey sir, want a smoke?” Zhou Chao took out a cigarette and handed it to the middle-aged security guard.

“I won’t refuse your kind offer.” The middle-aged security guard accepted it and began puffing on the cigarette, releasing a cloud of smoke.

“Hey, this cigarette is amazing, much better than what I used to smoke!” Zhou Chao didn’t explain and lit one for himself. When he had almost finished smoking, he saw Qin Lang coming out.

“Brother Chao, you’ve changed your car again!!!” Qin Lang leaned on the car, stuck his head inside, and inspected it.

“It just arrived yesterday!”

“Brother Chao, what kind of car is this?” Qin Lang was into cars too, but he hadn’t seen many of them in person. He might know their names, but recognizing them solely by the logos was a different story.

“It’s a Hennessy Venom GT.” Zhou Chao took out a cigarette and offered one to him.

“Is this the legendary fastest supercar?” Zhou Chao almost regretted giving Qin Lang the cigarette when he saw his overly enthusiastic reaction.

“Wow, Brother Chao, you’re becoming more and more remarkable!” Qin Lang accepted the cigarette, noticed that there was something unusual about it, and after taking a puff, realized it wasn’t a commonly found brand.

“Brother, Brother Chao! Do you need a new follower, a little brother? Just give me a pack of these cigarettes, and I’ll be at your service!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but laugh at Qin Lang’s playful antics.

“Let’s go, get in the car. Your older brother can’t wait any longer! Sir, could you please open the gate?” Zhou Chao said as he got into the car, and Qin Lang promptly opened the door.

As the gate swung open, Zhou Chao stepped on the gas and drove inside.

Upon entering, he saw Qin Fen, Yang Shuo, Yin Keting, and some second-generation rich kids and internet celebrities standing together. Some female internet celebrities were even live-streaming.

“Wow, what’s that? A Hennessy Venom GT? How can Modu have a car like this!” Several of the wealthy youngsters were astonished as they witnessed the car’s arrival.

Qin Fen, seeing the car, had a pretty good guess as to who it belonged to. He looked at the Hennessy Venom GT parked in the open space, but no one had gotten out of the car yet. So, he approached it.

“Why haven’t they come out?” Qin Fen leaned against the car window, and Zhou Chao handed him a cigarette.

“They don’t want to show their faces because of those female streamers!” Qin Fen took the cigarette, and his eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. He smelled the aroma.

“Impressive! To be able to get your hands on cigarettes of this level, I’m afraid it won’t be long before 1 start calling you ‘Brother Chao’!”

“You can start calling me that now if you like!”

“Get lost!” Both of them burst into laughter, and Qin Lang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car.

“Qin Lang, go tell those female streamers to shut down their broadcasts!” Qin Lang thought for a moment and then walked over to them. He spoke a few words, and the female internet celebrities quickly ended their live streams, leaving the viewers on the internet astonished. Even Qin Fen had to take care of his reputation, and for a while, various marketing accounts on the internet started stirring up trouble!

“Come down, my young master Zhou!” Qin Fen personally opened the car door, and Zhou Chao quickly stepped out.

“Oh my god!”

“Brother Chao!”

“Wow, so cool!” For a moment, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Yang Shuo and Yin Keting were taken aback when they saw the person stepping out of the car. It was a display of extreme wealth. They hurriedly approached. “Brother Chao, you’re here!” Zhou Chao nodded in response to Yang Shuo and Yin Keting.

“Brother Chao, you already own the Veneno, the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, and all those supercars. Why did you choose to add a Hennessy Venom GT to your collection again? This car is just as impressive as your Veneno!” Qin Fen was curious. Even with a lot of wealth, this seemed like quite a lavish purchase.

“I pre-ordered this one a while back. It’s a custom build based on the Lotus Exige. The powertrain boasts a supercharged LS9 6.2L V8 engine sourced from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, producing a staggering 1200 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a mere 2.4 seconds. Since there’s a race today, and the car arrived yesterday, 1 thought it’d be fun to bring it along!” Qin Fen was left utterly flabbergasted when he heard Zhou Chao’s explanation. This car’s speed was arguably among the fastest in the world.

“You’ve got money, you’re extravagant!” After thinking for a while, Qin Fen managed to squeeze out this sentence.

“Let’s go, we’ll join them!” The group of rich kids and internet-famous beauties in Modu had been eagerly waiting. Qin Fen led Zhou Chao and the others over.

“This is Young Master Zhou!” Qin Fen introduced Zhou Chao simply to these rich kids from Modu.

“Young Master Zhou!” Hearing these rich kids call him in unison, Zhou Chao felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, summed up in one word: “awesome”.

As for the beautiful internet celebrities nearby, their gazes toward Zhou Chao seemed like they wanted to devour him, but Zhou Chao automatically filtered them out.

“Qin Fen, you mentioned there’s a race today. Where’s the guy?” Qin Fen’s expression soured at the comment, and Zhou Chao immediately understood that the other party was deliberately keeping Qin Fen waiting by arriving late.

As they walked, Zhou Chao pulled Qin Fen aside and asked, “What’s the situation now? Who are the people on the other side?”

“He’s another rich kid from China. He’s actually quite skilled in racing; you could call him a professional racer. He came to Modu and challenged a few clubs, boasting that there’s no one in the Modu racing scene who can beat him. We got into an argument.”

“Who is this guy? Is he here just to embarrass himself?”

“His last name is Liu!” Zhou Chao immediately understood upon hearing this, and without further questioning, the two chatted for a while before a supercar arrived.

“Here he is!”
