In the underground parking lot of Shimao Binjiang, Si Cong swiftly walked towards the driver’s seat of the Pagani as soon as he got off the elevator, giving Zhou Chao a glance. Zhou Chao reluctantly tossed him the keys.
“Whoa, a Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta,” Lao Piao exclaimed, staring at the blue-black Pagani in amazement.
“You can go ahead and take a closer look later. Let’s go.” Hearing Si Cong say this, Lao Piao took Xiao Ning and climbed into his own G-Wagon.
The rumbling of the engine made Si Cong’s blood boil with excitement. Zhou Chao shook his head, amused at Si Cong’s giddy demeanor.
“Let’s go to The Palms Residence,” Zhou Chao said, noticing Si Cong was still preoccupied with the car’s interior.
The two cars left Shimao Binjiang Community one after the other, heading towards The Palms Residence.
“Lao Piao, what’s the deal with the car you were talking about?” Xiao Ning asked in confusion from the passenger seat.
“You might not know; that car is limited to just three units worldwide. Do you get my drift?”
“Nope.” Xiao Ning’s response nearly made Old Piao slam the accelerator, but fortunately, he maintained his composure.
“It means even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy one. And it’s not cheap either; it costs 280 million yuan.”
“Holy crap! 1 might never be able to afford a car like that in my lifetime,” Xiao Ning said, completely stunned by the price.
“Relax, you can even get to sit in it later,” Lao Piao said nonchalantly, making Xiao Ning suspect he was showing off.
Soon, they reached the parking lot of The Palms Residence, where a row of luxury cars were already parked.
“Xiao Piao, look at that black behemoth! It’s so cool!”
“I see it; I’m not blind, you know.”
Stepping out of the car, Si Cong couldn’t help but exclaim, “Driving this car feels absolutely exhilarating.”
“Let’s go upstairs and have a seat,” Zhou Chao led the trio directly to his top-floor penthouse.
“Wow, what a view!” Si Cong stood by the glass window, looking out at the Huangpu River and the Bund.
“Have a seat; I’ll make some tea,” Zhou Chao took out some premium Longjing tea from the cupboard.
“This is too luxurious.” Both Lao Piao and Xiao Ning couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s good to be rich.”
“Lao Piao, you should see Zhou Chao’s traditional courtyard in Jingdu; that’s the real luxury—worth over a billion yuan.” Si Cong sat on the sofa, causing Lao Piao and Xiao Ning to shake their heads in disbelief.
“Young Master Zhou, I’m starting my livestream now.” Lao Piao took out his streaming gear.
“Just don’t include me.” Zhou Chao emerged from the kitchen carrying a pot of tea.
“Don’t worry, 1 won’t.” Lao Piao then launched his live room, titling it ‘Shocking! This is the Life of My Dreams!’
“Guys, today you’re in for a treat. We’re streaming from Big Brother Drifting’s house; let’s show you what a low-key tycoon looks like.”
As one of the top streamers on the Dou Shark platform, Lao Piao’s live room quickly attracted a large audience, all curious about what they were about to see.
“Lao Piao, where are you?”
“Show us the tycoon!”
“Lao Piao, why did you suddenly think of doing livestream outdoors? Is it to openly admire beautiful women?”
“Let’s see what the mansion looks like!”
“Alright, alright, folks. First, let’s take a look at the cars; we’ll check out the mansion later.” Old Piao informed Zhou Chao that he wanted to livestream the luxury cars. Zhou Chao pointed to the car keys by the door, and Lao Piao, along with Xiao Ning, headed back to the underground parking lot.
“Brothers, today I’m going to show you what a big shot’s ride looks like.” At this moment, Lao Piao and his companion had already arrived in the underground garage, standing in front of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
“Damn, is this the Phantom? This is the essential car for the legends, huh?”
“Hehe, let’s take a look inside.” With that said, they opened the car doors and got in.
“Yeah, guys, let me tell you, this car feels just average.”
“Tsk.” If it weren’t for the look of enjoyment on Lao Piao’s face, the viewers in the live stream room would have believed it. Various expressions of contempt flooded the barrage for a moment.
“Really, guys, you have to believe me. If I sit in the driver’s seat and drive it, people will still call me the driver. Isn’t that cool?” Lao Piao wanted to defend himself, but the effect didn’t change.
“Alright, let’s take a look at the next car.” Holding his phone, Lao Piao got out of the car and walked over to the nearby Bentley.
“Guys, do you like this car?” Lao Piao turned the camera towards the elegant Bentley.
“We’re not interested; we want to see supercars!”
“Supercars, supercars!”
Seeing that the audience in the live stream room wanted to see supercars, Lao Piao had no choice but to move on to the next car.
“Okay, fine, 1’11 show you a supercar.” Lao Piao directly revealed the three cars nearby.
“Ta-da! What do you think, guys? Do you like them now?”
“Damn, it’s a Lamborghini Veneno.”
“Koenigsegg One:i.”
“This is too extravagant; even Si Cong doesn’t have such a badass car.”
“Alright, I’ll take you inside.” Without further ado, Lao Piao opened the door of the Lamborghini. Sitting down was quite a struggle for him, and the entire livestream room burst into laughter.
“Lao Piao, you should lose weight; otherwise, a supercar won’t fit you.” Xiao Ning held the live stream phone towards Lao Piao, saying.
“Oh, Xiao Ning, help me up, I can’t get up.” Lao Piao’s voice echoed in the livestream room, and the number of comments increased. The viewer count had already risen to over fifty thousand.
“Just wait a moment, 1’11 put the phone down.” Xiao Ning placed the phone on the car hood, and the camera was pointed directly at Lao Piao and Xiao Ning.
“Brother Piao, you’re too heavy, I think you’re stuck.” Xiao Ning pulled Lao Piao’s hand to help him out.
“Phew, finally out, that was exhausting.” Lao Piao leaned against the car, panting heavily, and his gaze fell upon the phone placed on the hood.
“Hey, Xiao Ning, you really pulled a fast one on me.” Lao Piao swiftly took hold of the phone, observing the live stream’s barrage. He was beginning to sense that he might become a laughingstock in the esports community, either tomorrow or even sooner.
Lao Piao had already thought of a trending topic name: “Esports Circle Celebrity Lao Piao Gets Stuck in Luxurious Supercar Seat Due to Being Too Fat.” He already felt utterly hopeless.
“Brother Piao, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?” Xiao Ning, standing beside him, looked at Lao Piao with concern.
“I’m fine.”
“Alright, guys, the previous wave was just an accident. The real show is coming up next. Are you excited?” Lao Piao regained his cheerful expression and addressed the audience in the livestream room.
“All, right, right, it was an unexpected surprise.”
“Yeah, I’m trying hard not to laugh.”
Seeing the barrage in the live stream room, the corners of Lao Piao’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
“Do you see this behemoth beside me? When I stand next to it, I look so small.” Xiao Ning aimed the camera at Lao Piao.
“Why does this car look so strange? Can a big shot explain it?”
Various questions filled the live stream room, as people wanted to know what kind of car it was. The car exuded an imposing and handsome aura.
“Guys, let me introduce you. This car is called the Karlmann King, a dream for off-road enthusiasts. I heard from Big Brother Drifting that the car’s body is customized and bulletproof.” Lao Piao opened the car door again, allowing the livestream audience to see the luxurious interior. When they spotted the two aviation-style seats in the back, the barrage lit up with enthusiastic comments.
“Hehe, that’s not all. I’ll show you something even more exciting.” With that, he took out a key from his bag.
“Guys, does anyone in the live stream room recognize this car?” Lao Piao displayed the key.
“Lao Piao, is this a Pagani?”
“It’s a Pagani, but I’ve never seen this type of key before!”
Lao Piao looked at the barrage; many people recognized it as a Pagani key, but they had never seen one like it.
“Hehe, today, Lao Piao will show you what the three globally limited supercars look like.” Holding the key and his phone, Lao Piao walked towards the parking spot where the Pagani was.
“Guys, are you excited?” In an instant, Lao Piao captured the attention of the viewers in the live stream room.
“Alright, 1 won’t keep you in suspense any longer, take a look.”
A blue-black Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta appeared before the audience.
Countless viewers of Lao Piao’s live stream couldn’t help but exclaim, “Damn!”
“Let me introduce you all. This is the globally limited edition Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, valued at 280 million. It’s not something an ordinary person can buy. So, guys, do you like it?”
The livestream room continued to be flooded with incoming viewers. Lao Piao instantly ignited the trending topics, all for the chance to catch a glimpse of the luxury car.
“Alright, guys, I’m done showing you the luxury cars. Now, let’s head upstairs..”
