CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 206: BIRTHDAY GIFT

Anyway, Qin Miao has a stamina attribute of 99, so he runs without getting tired.

Zhou Guanyu got caught by Qin Miao after just a few steps, and then took a kick to the butt.

Even though they both wished they could kick each other into paralysis earlier, afterwards they were able to laugh it off and walk back to the hotel arm in arm.

While joking around with Zhou Guanyu, Qin Miao indeed considered bringing Zhou Guanyu along during his downtime or daily practice.

On the way back, Qin Miao did mention it, but Zhou Guanyu didn’t show much concern, playing dumb and glossing over it.

Once back at the hotel, the two didn’t play high-intensity games together; they were both tired after a day of racing, activities, and visiting a friend’s place.

Now both Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu were exhausted, so upon returning to the hotel, they washed up and went to bed.

A night passed without a word.

The next day, the Mercedes team staff started their holiday, which of course included Qin Miao. As for the Mercedes equipment, it was naturally handled by the logistics department for storage and transport.

During breakfast, Qin Miao studied his system a bit.

Yesterday’s race triggered a system task for Qin Miao, but there were no new tasks, just the usual ordinary lottery and being voted as the best driver of the week post-race by the audience.

Qin Miao received 19 miscellaneous items and also got an extra Free Attribute Point for winning the audience vote as the best driver. He also received a portable health potion.

Curiously, Qin Miao took the portable health potion out of the system.

Only when he got it in hand did he realize it was actually a bottle of Monster.

But Qin Miao knew this thing was just wrapped in a Monster skin; inside, it’s still a health potion.

After being disguised, Qin Miao could drink without worrying during daily activities, no longer needing to be cautious about cameras when sipping a drink. Now, if Qin Miao is thirsty for a drink, he just pulls out a can of Monster and chugs away.

As for the Free Attribute Point, Qin Miao naturally saved it for later, since he’s currently facing a capacity bottleneck in his attributes, this point can be preserved for future needs.

On the second day, Qimeng went sightseeing in Monaco with Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu in the morning.

Of course, Qimeng isn’t like other girls who shop everywhere. She knows that dragging Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu along would make shopping feel like jail time for them, so she led them around to appreciate Monaco’s scenery and experience local customs before renting a speedboat with a coach, the three of them raced speedboats in Monaco Bay.

The key point is, Qin Miao had just finished second place on the Monaco track yesterday, and his influence hasn’t faded yet.

So, when the speedboat coach saw Qin Miao, he was very excited, even gifting them an extra hour of fun time, and took a picture with Qin Miao after getting off the boat.

In the afternoon, Qimeng dropped Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu at the hotel while she went to meet with a Yili representative to finalize contract discussions.

Meanwhile, Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu played games at the hotel carefreely all afternoon.

Since he brought a laptop, Qin Miao didn’t stream.

In the evening, Qin Miao was whisked away by the team. Toto had called asking where he was, and upon knowing Qin Miao was still in Monaco, the team requested him to take promotional photos for another Mercedes car.

On the third day, Qin Miao, Qimeng, and Zhou Guanyu returned to the UK.

After returning to the UK, Qimeng took Zhou Guanyu home for a meal, then in the afternoon they relaxed by fishing at an artificial lake near Qin Miao’s house.

But whenever they were together, they couldn’t help but bicker, so after fishing all afternoon, they ended up catching nothing.

After dinner, Zhou Guanyu left.

Not long after Zhou Guanyu left, Qin Miao and Qimeng went out too, their destination was a company office in Brackley, mainly to sign a contract with Yili.

The details and articles of the contract were too complicated to elaborate here. Mainly, it covered the constraints and obligations of Qin Miao and the benefits he would receive.

The contract spans four years, making Qin Miao Yili’s biggest and most critical spokesperson globally.

During summer and winter breaks each year, Qin Miao needs to shoot a commercial for Yili, participate in at least one variety show sponsored by Yili, and attend at least one promotional event annually.

There are also minor details about maintaining Yili’s image externally.

Originally, the contract required Qin Miao to do more, but his impressive performance on the track led Qimeng to negotiate a higher contract price while reducing Qin Miao’s obligations.

This contract grants Qin Miao a signing fee of 5 million US Dollars, which is just the signing bonus. The total endorsement fee over four years is variable; the first year’s fee is 30 million US Dollars, and the second year’s fee depends on Qin Miao’s performance in the first year. If the first year goes well, the endorsement fee can rise.
