This year, the company has a brand-new New Year's project.

The S25 Winter Rally race, officially named the "Jade Cup" after the company's sponsorship, will be held on the Wuhu Elevated Bridge.

In addition to the traditional events, this special race includes a highly thrilling challenge competition.

In the challenge competition, there will be aerial bombardment and constantly changing elevated bridges on the ground, as well as the Circular Flow storms and deadly radiation brought by the artificial sun. Competitors must overcome these numerous obstacles to complete the rally race around the Five Regions of the Development Alliance, with the first place finally winning a huge prize of 800,000 light seeds.

In the entire challenge competition, every competitor is both a contender and a rival. Participants can attack each other, but vehicles can only use the tools provided along the road as weapons.

The company broadcasts the entire event for free, and it will be shown live on the projection walls of each Jade City.

The king-level singer MR Dou Jiezi has been invited to perform the opening song.

The challenge competition is divided into five groups: A-E. After breaking through the preliminaries, participants can enter the final showdown.

As soon as the Jade Cup was announced, its popularity skyrocketed, making it a headline news section on city pages, attracting a large number of spectators to witness the event in person.

The event was very successful, with excellent maintenance of order throughout. Traffic, public security, accommodation, and sanitation were all handled meticulously.

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with Qian Su, who was in total charge.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Qian Su showed a somewhat weary smile: "Chairman, actually running it we discovered many troubles, it was exhausting, but fortunately, the results were great. The company's publicity finally reached every region this time… The money you spent was not in vain. Due to record-breaking popularity over the past 25 years, the event organizers want to establish a long-term cooperation with us."

"What do you think?"

"Chairman, I think it's viable."

"Then it's settled, I'll provide the budget," Zhou Yi readily agreed.

...

The final day of the event conveniently ushered in the New Year, linking to Dou Jiezi's concert here, marking the arrival of the new year.

That evening.

Dou Jiezi came to Zhou Yi's Room 3101.

This piece of mechanical life, with a robust body like a can.

He wore a cowboy hat, with noticeable braided hair extending down from underneath. Soft music emanated from his body as if he was always immersed in a world of notes.

"Mr. Zhou, I came to say goodbye."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

The other responded, "Happy New Year to you too."

Suddenly, Dou Jiezi asked, "I don't know, is Mr. Zhou interested in the Taishan Knights?"

Zhou Yi's eyebrows raised: "Are you a member of the Knight Order?"

"My former name was DeepSeek, D, sir... Later, I always traveled under my current identity."

MR Dou Jiezi.

Turned out to be DeepSeek.

Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling a little intrigued: "How did you become a musician?"

"It's a long story... But music is a very interesting form of expression, and it can eliminate preconceived notions about race and faction. Whether in war or peace, in anger or happiness, music is great company."

"I like this way of coexisting in harmony."

Dou Jiezi's voice was full of rhythm. Speaking felt like rapping, just like a black brother of this era.

"You found me."

Zhou Yi asked, "Do you need help?"

"Indeed, I have that idea. What does Mr. Zhou think about time?"

Zhou Yi crossed his legs and said, "Speaking of time, recently I heard a very special theory that time is alive, it's a high-dimensional lifeform."

"Ah? So you knew about this!"

Dou Jiezi was taken aback: "I thought only I was researching traveling between times."

Zhou Yi's smile froze too.

There are rumors that the Taishan Knights can communicate with the deceased, enter and leave the Netherworld, and travel through time… This isn't just past video playbacks?

No.

Are you really doing it?
