Chapter 48: Chapter 42: Another WorldSeeing the system task and the information from Zhuang Yuqin, Qin Miao knew he had no choice but to participate in this race, and furthermore, he had to secure a top-three finish. After all, the reward for first place was too tempting. Not to mention the money and All Attributes boost, even just the 10 Purple Lottery entries were enough to make Qin Miao drool. However, judging from the rewards given by the system, getting into the top three in today’s race is destined to be challenging. After all, as a general rule, the greater the reward, the tougher the task. Qimeng also understood what this opportunity meant for Qin Miao, so she calmly asked, "Is there anything in today’s event that we absolutely must participate in, or that is highly recommended?" At this moment, Qimeng was thinking of letting Qin Miao run a few more laps on the track before the race starts, hoping he could become more familiar with it. Zhuang Yuqin hardly hesitated: "I strongly recommend the two of you to experience all today’s activities because each is meticulously organized and offers guests exquisite little gifts." Having been reminded by the other party, Qimeng realized the necessity of participating in all other activities as well. After all, the racing competition’s complimentary offerings are contracts with major racing teams that many outsiders dream about but cannot attain, so-called "little gifts" might not be small at all. Most importantly, neither of them had a car; they arrived in a hurry, and Qimeng didn’t rent one like she would do in Changsha. But given they were in front of outsiders, it wasn’t appropriate for Qimeng to make decisions for Qin Miao, so she turned to ask Qin Miao: "Honey, what do you think?" What idea could Qin Miao have? Of course, he would participate in whatever he could. Because they mentioned O’Kang would only come down to guide during new car launches, Qin Miao definitely didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Plus, Qin Miao wanted to get some practice on the track; Qimeng was right after all, sharpening the sword before battle, better late than never. Although a boost of tens in Track Proficiency might only slightly improve lap times, any increase is valuable. Just as Qin Miao was about to ask if they could take a lap around the track, he suddenly recalled the bits and pieces shared with Qimeng during this period. Although they set out to play together in name, it seemed like Qimeng was the one busy with his affairs all along. They did go out to have fun, but most of their time was occupied dealing with Qin Miao’s matters. With a chance to relax right in front of him, Qin Miao suddenly felt that spending quality time with Qimeng was more important than his undoubtedly bright hobbies, which were only a matter of time. After all, Qin Miao had a system; regardless, his hobbies had a promising future, the distinction was just a timing issue. Moreover, they chanced upon this high-end private gathering that they might only attend once in their lifetime. So hobbies can take a backseat; relationships are more significant. Besides, he had a backup plan. "Since it’s recommended, let’s experience everything," Qin Miao decided aloud. Qimeng showed a worried glance, at least clinging to some last-minute preparation. What if lack of practice led to poor results, missing this precious opportunity? She felt somewhat anxious. Qin Miao held Qimeng’s hand, smiling at Zhuang Yuqin before she could voice her concerns, asking, "When do the activities start? Can the two of us find a more secluded place to rest a while?" "We have a resting area here; there’s still some time before the activities commence, feel free to wait there. I can explain today’s event schedule to you there." Qimeng wouldn’t disrespect Qin Miao in front of outsiders, thus allowing Zhuang Yuqin to lead them to a relatively secluded resting area. While in the resting area, they learned about the day’s event schedule. The first event starts at 10 a.m., lasting two hours for the auction, followed by a lunch banquet, some rest, then the internal new car presentation. Afterwards, the wealthy can drive unreleased prototype cars for a few laps on the track. Then there’s an hour of car-ordering time, concluding with the race. The race finishes around evening, followed by a dinner banquet and a celebrity performance. After the performance, those wishing to leave can do so; plenty of other activities remain for those staying, though the specifics were kept under wraps with a mere smile. Qin Miao was confused. What activities, spill the beans already! Keeping people in suspense is no way to do things! Qimeng scrunched her little nose, full of disdain. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. What activities could they possibly be? Likely just post-stage performances in the room. With the schedule explained, they waited quietly for the auction to begin at ten in the morning. In the meantime, both weren’t bored; Qin Miao and Qimeng were in a passionate phase, so they always had endless topics to chat about when together. Time flew by as they indulged in their romance, and soon gentlemanly business people in suits began to appear at the doorway. Some were young and handsome, others had paunches, yet carried an unmistakably wealthy and noble aura. Though aura is this elusive thing, through clothing, speech, and subconscious actions, one can easily perceive someone’s exceptional nature. Previously, Qin Miao didn’t believe aura existed, being a student surrounded by uniform-clad peers, making it hard to identify individual differences beneath such attire. Though he barely stepped into society, merely attending a high-end gathering showed him the gap between individuals. Truly affluent people appeared outwardly approachable, as those with character flaws wouldn’t climb high in social ranks. Even if flawed, they hid it well in public settings, showing no negative emotions publicly, at least on the surface. As time passed, more people gathered, yet they didn’t idle like Qin Miao and Qimeng in the resting area. Once here, they had clear objectives, first seeking familiar faces to maintain connections. Upon encountering desired individuals, they approached with warm handshakes and exchanged business cards. As topics deepened, conversations became increasingly enthusiastic. Every face radiated joyous smiles and kind expressions. Everyone was engaging socially, making Qin Miao and Qimeng a peculiar pair among the crowd. Still, not everyone attending was instantly identifiable as accomplished businesspersons. Some appeared ordinary in attire, their unassuming fronts akin to Qin Miao’s. Yet no one suspected they lacked funds; attendees couldn’t possibly be without means at such occasions. Everyone recognized their modesty. Most discreetly positioned themselves near their favored supercars, communicating with the staff alongside them. Those who conversed pleasantly often departed with the staff. Qin Miao guessed they might even proceed to pay and pick up cars immediately. After all, this was an event organized by supercar dealers; despite the generous perks offered, their main goal remained car sales.
