CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 61: GAINS

After chatting, the car arrived at the destination, and the three of them got out.

Since they were in Shanghai, they naturally had local cuisine and drank yellow wine.

Actually, Qin Miao didn’t really like drinking alcohol, but he had no choice. Yu Jialiang had just gifted him a Ferrari. Regardless of whether the Ferrari was influenced by some system to end up in Qin Miao’s possession, he still had to acknowledge the favor, so he had to drink.

Fortunately, it was just a simple meal today, finished in about half an hour. The two of them didn’t drink much, totaling a bottle and a half.

After dinner, the three of them stepped out and saw a brand-new Ferrari 488 Pista parked at the entrance.

A staff member was waiting at the door.

Upon seeing the trio, he approached them with a smile, handing the car keys to Qin Miao and saying, "Mr. Qin, these are your car keys. The purchase and registration processes have been completed. The license plate number is Shanghai A0307Q. All necessary documents are placed in the front trunk, the fuel tank is filled, and the vehicle has been broken in. Please check the car."

Qin Miao, still relatively sober, subconsciously took the keys, marveling at how convenient it was to have money. The other party not only filled the tank and registered the car but even broke it in for him.

"Thank you, I appreciate your hard work," Qin Miao replied politely.

The other person simply nodded with a smile, and seeing that Qin Miao had no further requests, he asked, "Is there anything else we can assist you with?"

Qin Miao shook his head.

"Then I won’t disturb the three of you. If there are any quality issues with the vehicle, feel free to call the dealer anytime. We will do our best to assist you."

After saying this, the man left under the gaze of the three.

After he left, Yu Jialiang patted Qin Miao on the shoulder and said, "Tonight, I have plans with my three friends. Do you want to bring your partner to experience the nightlife of Shanghai?"

Without thinking, Qin Miao shook his head and said, "Not tonight, I’m a bit tired after the race, and I’ve had some drinks, my head’s starting to feel a little fuzzy."

Yu Jialiang didn’t insist, since the evening plans had nothing to do with Qin Miao, he was just being polite.

"Alright, since you’ve had a drink tonight, you shouldn’t drive. Can your partner drive? If not, I’ll get a driver for you."

At this point, Qimeng stepped forward and supported Qin Miao’s arm, saying, "No need, Yu, I can drive."

"Alright, I’ll be off then. Let’s keep in touch."

"Sure, stay safe on the road."

Yu Jialiang didn’t drive himself away. Truly wealthy people cherish their reputation, and they won’t engage in illegal activities.

While Qin Miao and Yu Jialiang were having dinner, Yu’s driver was already waiting in that Maybach. After Yu got in, the car drove off.

Now all external distractions had been eliminated, and both Qin Miao and Qimeng turned their gazes simultaneously towards the bright red supercar parked at the restaurant’s front.

Even though this wasn’t an area bustling with people, the rare sight of such a supercar still caught the attention of many passersby.

But those desperate for fame are few. Most of these bystanders stood at a distance, using their phones to take pictures of the car. No one dared to touch it.

After all, in this age of information, everyone knows that a car with the prancing horse badge isn’t cheap. If you accidentally damage it, you’ll have nowhere to cry about it.

Qin Miao looked at the car and then at Qimeng, asking softly, "Mengmeng, will you be okay?"

Qimeng could easily guess Qin Miao’s thoughts, which were just fears that she might accidentally scratch or crash his precious car while driving.

However, Qimeng didn’t intend to tease Qin Miao’s nerves and confidently gave him a thumbs-up, saying, "Leave it to me!"

After putting their things into the front trunk, Qimeng carefully got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

This wasn’t because Qimeng was afraid. She could actually drive faster, and doing so wouldn’t cause issues.

But Qimeng knew that ever since the car appeared at the restaurant’s entrance, Qin Miao had been anxious, glancing at the car now and then, eyes full of the joy and longing for his beloved toy.

It could be said this car was Qin Miao’s treasure, possibly holding higher value in his heart than Qimeng.

So to give Qin Miao peace of mind, Qimeng drove cautiously, not daring to press the accelerator hard.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Qin Miao relaxed upon seeing Qimeng’s gentle driving.

Due to the effects of alcohol, Qin Miao’s head felt a bit dizzy. Even though he hadn’t drunk much with Yu Jialiang, Qin Miao usually didn’t drink at all, and the kick from the yellow wine was strong, leaving him somewhat dazed.

However, Qin Miao was merely groggy, with slowed thinking, not entirely incapacitated.

Back at the hotel where they were staying, they parked the car, gathered their belongings, and returned to their room.

Once inside the room, Qimeng first placed Qin Miao’s helmet and racing suit in the bathroom, carefully storing the trophy and medal, and taking out important documents and car purchase information.

After browsing through everything briefly, Qimeng put them all into a single file folder.

When Qimeng was done and turned around to call Qin Miao for a shower, she found Qin Miao had already collapsed onto the bed and fallen asleep.

Qimeng pursed her lips helplessly but quickly smiled again.

Though this guy couldn’t hold his liquor well, getting drunk before finishing a bottle of huangjiu, Qimeng liked the fact that Qin Miao didn’t care for drinking. Plus, after drinking, Qin Miao was very quiet — as soon as he hit the bed, he’d fall asleep, without making a fuss.

However, Qimeng didn’t let Qin Miao continue sleeping. While she knew that Qin Miao really wanted to sleep at this moment, he’d been driving all day, and his body was full of the smell of sweat.

At night, not only would she be uncomfortable with the sweat smell lying next to him, but Qin Miao himself would also not sleep well with the sweat sticking on him.

So Qimeng forced Qin Miao awake.

"Don’t sleep yet, shower first and then sleep!"

Qin Miao was still a bit dazed, but after hearing Qimeng’s words, it was as if by instinct, he groggily wobbled out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower.

After showering, he quickly dried himself and slipped back under the covers.

...

Without speaking through the night, Qin Miao woke up early the next day.

After opening his eyes, he spaced out for a while, then his mind went over everything that happened yesterday.

In just one night, Qin Miao felt like the world he was facing had undergone a massive change.

After a day’s time, not only did he have the Ferrari he’d longed for as his ride, but he also became a GT3 team driver in the China GT. Although, in the eyes of the team owner, he seemed more like a wealthy amateur driver.

Perhaps last night, Qin Miao still thought that if he was capable enough, he might be able to compete based on this contract.

But after waking up more clear-headed, he realized that unless he could utterly outclass the team’s two drivers, he absolutely couldn’t replace them as official team drivers.

Realizing this, Qin Miao silently sighed. Last night’s joy was for nothing.

Even though he couldn’t use this identity to compete in official GG3 races, the contract still had benefits for Qin Miao.

He could use this contract to get the team to provide him with free data support. No matter what, with his own GT3 race car, he could have the team’s engineers analyze his driving data, guarantee his vehicle, and provide logistics, which was all stipulated in the contract.

However, Qin Miao didn’t plan on contacting the team right away.

Firstly because he didn’t have the money to buy a car, and secondly, after running a few races these days, he felt the improvement he needed most wasn’t driving skills, but his stamina.

Yesterday’s race was alright; the speed of the AMG GT was slower than in the F4, but the comfort was better. Over the 19 laps and more than 100 kilometers, his stamina held up.

But after three sessions in the F4, he was nearly mentally exhausted on the spot, so Qin Miao thought that what he really needed to improve now was his stamina.

Before addressing this, Qin Miao glanced towards the bedside table, spotting a bunch of red car keys—the iconic prancing horse emblem was so striking.

Just as he was about to reach out and grab the keys to take a good look, he felt his hand restrained and unable to lift up.

Looking down, he saw Qimeng tightly holding onto his right arm, her small face pressed against it.

Too lazy to try and get the keys, Qin Miao simply opened his system interface.

After finding the lottery feature, he used all his 10 blue lottery draws in one go.

He originally thought the blue lotteries would have different effects. To his surprise, like the white lottery, there were no special effects. With just a thought, the information of the ten prizes popped into Qin Miao’s mind.

[ (Blue) *2]

[Health Drink (Blue) *3]

[1 Million RMB *1]

[10 Million Racing Fund *2]

[Skill: Calming the Machine Soul (Blue)]

[Skill: Strong and Healthy (Blue)]

These were all the gains Qin Miao got from this race.

However, this lottery indeed gave Qin Miao a pleasant surprise because he noticed that the prize background colors from the white lottery were white, and those from the blue lottery were blue.

As someone who frequently played games, Qin Miao easily judged that blue item names indicated a higher level than white items, and without a doubt, their effects would be better.
