As early as three days ago, Chen Yushan had been sending him text messages, telling him that the Purple Lightning Max BYD had given him had arrived and asking him to find time to pick it up from the 4S dealership downtown.
However, Lu Zhou's phone had been switched off at the time, so he had not seen those messages. It was only a few minutes ago, after uploading his paper to arXiv, that he finally had time to go through the backlog.

Less than half an hour later, Lu Zhou was standing inside the dealership, studying the sleek black coupe beside him with considerable interest.
Feeling immense pressure from the bodyguard behind Lu Zhou, the saleswoman beside him maintained a somewhat stiff but professional smile as she introduced the basic performance of the legendary Purple Lightning Max, of which only one had been produced worldwide. Her speech alternated between rushed and halting.

The saleswoman replied politely, "Its top speed can reach 260 kilometers per hour, though that probably won't be useful on ordinary roads."
Lu Zhou nodded knowingly. His face remained expressionless, but inwardly, he was shocked.

This was no longer a matter of overtaking America—it was practically leaving Tesla on the moon... Of course, it was a little unfair to compare a no-expense-spared custom model with mass-produced cars, but for a domestic car to reach this level was already incredible.

The saleswoman smiled politely.
