The morning sun poured through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the large, soft, custom-made bed in the Donghu Private Club.
Su Bai opened his eyes and gave a deeply satisfying stretch.
Accompanied by a few crisp pops from his joints, a surging, seemingly inexhaustible energy coursed through his entire body.
The practical test he conducted last night in the basement gym, testing his superhuman physique of 160 points, had been incredibly exhilarating.
The result of the test was that Su Bai woke up early this morning feeling completely refreshed and radiant, as if he could work for three days and nights without feeling tired. Meanwhile, Xia Lin, who served as his sparring partner and test subject, was currently sitting in the passenger seat, quietly rubbing her aching lower back. Her long, straight legs, even wrapped tightly in tailored professional suit pants, still showed a faint, subtle tremble.
To accompany Su Bai on his inspection of the newly acquired company today, the young lady from Shanghai had specially changed into an extremely capable, powerful businesswoman outfit.
However, the lingering affection and dewy softness in her eyes significantly diluted the dignified authority she usually carried as a counselor.
What's wrong? Xia can't take it anymore? Last night on the yoga mat in the gym, you confidently vowed to challenge my limits, Su Bai teased wickedly, steering with one hand.
You... you shut up!
Xia Lin glared at him in embarrassment and indignation, her cheeks instantly turning completely red.
Last night was no challenge at all; it was a one-sided crushing defeat! Who would have thought that this physical monster, after breaking the world bench press record, would still have such terrifying explosive power!
The car drove smoothly into the Jiangcheng High-tech Development Zone, finally stopping in front of the headquarters building of the First Generation Maternity and Baby Products Company.
A few retained senior executives, led by Operations Director Lin Hui, were already waiting outside the company gates in sharp suits, their expressions exceedingly respectful.
President Su! Miss Xia! Welcome to the inspection!
Seeing Su Bai step out of the car, Lin Hui immediately came forward to greet him, his weather-beaten face now glowing with excitement.
Just this morning, the legal team Xia Lin brought had swiftly completed the 100 percent controlling acquisition agreement, and the life-saving fund of fifty million was already sitting securely in the company's corporate account!
To Lin Hui, this excessively young man standing before him was the true god who had saved half a lifetime of his hard work!
Director Lin, let's skip the pleasantries. Take me directly to see your foundation, those core laboratories, Su Bai waved his hand decisively, his aura fully unleashed.
Understood, President Su, right this way!
Under Lin Hui's lead, the group passed through the office area, went through extremely strict dust removal and disinfection procedures, and entered the core research and development area located at the back of the building.
In the domestic maternity and baby market, many so-called high-end brands actually have no core technology of their own.
Most of them just find an OEM factory to slap their label on, and then spend heavily on marketing and packaging. As for the laboratories they publicly claim to have, they are often just window dressing, featuring a few microscopes set up to handle inspections and promotional photos.
But when Su Bai stepped into the First Generation R&D center, a flash of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
This place actually had real substance!
In the constant temperature and humidity dust-free workshop covering thousands of square meters, various extremely expensive precision instruments were neatly arranged.
President Su, this is our fabric toxicology analysis room. Many baby clothes on the market that claim to be pure cotton have trace amounts of formaldehyde and fluorescent agents left over from the dyeing process. Our quality inspection standards here are twice as strict as the highest standards in the European Union, Lin Hui pointed to a running spectrum analyzer, his tone revealing the pride of a technical professional.
Su Bai nodded; this perfectly aligned with Lu Yuning's concept of making the safest high-end custom children's clothing.
Next, they visited several core departments, including the ergonomics testing area and the pacifier silicone material aging laboratory.
Looking at the R&D personnel in white coats who were fully engrossed in recording data, Su Bai felt that dropping fifty million here was truly worth the money. These people were genuinely putting their hearts into making products.
Wait, what is that for?
Just as they were about to leave the hardware R&D area, Su Bai's gaze was suddenly drawn to a metal frame half-covered by a dust cloth in the corner.
It seemed to be the chassis of a baby stroller, but unlike the common strollers on the market, its wheel hubs were fitted with extremely complex micro-motors, and there was a metal black box covered in cables in the center of the chassis.
Following Su Bai's gaze, a hint of regret and embarrassment flashed across Lin Hui's face.
President Su, that is an abandoned project that was left halfway. It was a highly forward-looking concept product proposed by our R&D department last year, an all-terrain electric-assist smart baby stroller.
Lin Hui walked over, lifted the dust cloth, and sighed as he explained, Today's young parents, especially the high-end customer base, care not only about appearances when taking their children out but also about ease and safety. Traditional strollers are very strenuous to push when encountering uphill or uneven roads. So we envisioned adding micro servo motors to the rear wheels and integrating pressure sensors into the push handle.
When parents push the stroller uphill, the motors automatically engage to provide assistance, making it as easy to push as on flat ground. When going downhill or encountering an emergency, the moment the parents' hands leave the handle, the gyroscope and sensors will instantly detect it and trigger the electronic brakes within 0.1 seconds, firmly locking the wheels. There will absolutely be no danger of the stroller rolling away or sliding down a slope.
Speaking of this, Lin Hui shook his head helplessly. Unfortunately, although the idea is good, the research and development costs were too high. Just the tooling costs for that smart algorithm and lightweight motor were an astronomical figure. The former boss felt the return on investment would be too slow and forcibly halted the project, leaving it to gather dust here.
Hearing Lin Hui's description, Su Bai's deep eyes instantly lit up.
This thing perfectly hit his sweet spot!
High-end, smart, ultimate safety, and it could save effort for modern parents, such as his future female companions.
Most importantly, this was a top-tier product that burned an extreme amount of money and could easily cause a sensation in high-end circles!
Wasn't this the perfect trigger for his system's cashback feature?!
Lin Hui.
Su Bai turned around, staring at the Operations Director with burning eyes, his tone revealing an unquestionable dominance. I don't just want you to restart this project immediately; I want you to build it to the highest specifications!
The chassis is too heavy? Then go order aviation-grade carbon fiber materials for me! The motors aren't smooth enough? Then poach the top domestic drone motor engineers to match them! As for the exterior, I'll have my private haute couture designer personally take charge, using top-tier genuine leather and waterproof, stain-resistant tech fabrics for the cabin!
Su Bai extended a single finger and tapped the metal frame with extreme arrogance.
"Money has never been an issue! If fifty million isn't enough, throw in a hundred million. If a hundred million isn't enough, throw in a billion! Once this electric-assist baby stroller is built, I want it to instantly become the ultimate standard for the global elite when they take their kids out! Can you do it?"
Listening to Su Bai's R&D directive, which was filled with the crushing weight of pure capital and bordered on absolute madness, Lin Hui felt the blood boil in his veins.
No budget cap! Building a baby stroller with aerospace-grade materials!
Now this was the style of a true tycoon!
"Yes! Mr. Su, as long as the funds are in place, I will bet my life on it. Within half a year, we will absolutely deliver a mass-production model that will shock the industry!" Lin Hui's voice trembled with excitement as he stood up perfectly straight.
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
