The Birth of GD Racers

"...The assembly process is very simple! First, prepare a chassis equipped with a GD Chip, then install the gears, add a little lubricant, attach the tires, and assemble the body.

Finally, install the remaining parts, tighten the screws, and the assembly is complete!

Of course, that alone is far from enough!

Next, everyone needs to put their minds to work and modify it. How can we make our own GD Racers run faster and farther?

A one-of-a-kind Fully Enclosed Mini Track Car will be born from your hands!

Everyone is welcome to visit Liang Xing Toys Factory's physical store at Baisha City Central Plaza!

..."

Liang Xing personally released three promotional videos.

He named the Fully Enclosed Mini Track Car the GD Racers, and one of the promotional videos introduced the assembly process.

The handsome young man struck an over-the-top pose, while the roaring motor sound was deliberately added.

With its appearance, sound effects, and cool design, the Fully Enclosed Mini Track Car easily left a deep impression on people.

Wasn't this just the Mini 4WD they played with as kids?

Big brother was so handsome!

All style and no substance. Could this thing really be fast? Wouldn't it be better to buy a Double Star Mini 4WD?

What was the chip even for?

There was no Let's & Go in this Parallel World. In the anime, a crescent-shaped auxiliary tool called a Guidance Hockey was universally used to adjust the direction of Mini 4WDs.

Of course, most of the time they ran on tracks, where the direction was basically fixed. As long as the Guide Wheels were adjusted to prevent the car from flipping over, that was enough.

At first glance, Liang Xing's Fully Enclosed Mini Track Car did seem a little unnecessary.

But the purpose of this promotional video was actually obvious. It was plainly riding on the coattails of Mini 4WDs.

Good reputation or bad, fame meant attention.

The other two promotional videos were released a little later. One introduced the GD Chip, demonstrating voice-controlled acceleration and deceleration as well as subtle adjustments to the car body for steering. The other, naturally, featured the War God's outrageous Leaping Bomb.

Fake! That had to be special effects!

Big brother was so handsome!

I can understand voice control, but making the car jump was just too ridiculous!

Liang Xing did not explain much. He simply left the address of Liang Xing Toys Factory's physical store as well.

No matter the world, there would never be a shortage of bored people.

Liang Xing's three promotional videos became trending topics on the short-video app Douyin, and many people voiced their opinions on whether GD Racers were real.

Where there was attention, there would certainly be people trying to ride the trend under the banner of exposing frauds.

Douyin Streamer, Mini 4WD Kid A Lie was the first to arrive at the scene in Baisha City.

"I'm here, I'm here! Brothers! Is that the place over there? Can you see it?"

Separated by a road, A Lie excitedly held up his phone.

The title of his livestream was: Witness the Truth Behind GD Racers!

A Lie did not actually have many followers, only a little over a thousand.

But this Parallel World had real-name registration for the internet. You had to delete your main account before you could apply for a new one.

Unless it was registered under a company name, everyone could only have one account.

A thousand followers meant a solid thousand people paying attention.

A Lie had been livestreaming for less than an hour today, yet he had already gained several hundred followers.

Many people only came back to check after some time. They simply wanted to know whether GD Racers were real.

Most of A Lie's previous livestreams had been Mini 4WD off-road runs, and only occasionally could he take part in privately organized competitions.

Having been in this circle for so long, he naturally understood the current state of Mini 4WDs.

To keep those new viewers around, A Lie began talking enthusiastically.

Mini 4WDs were toys imported from the Island Nation, and Huaxia had never really placed much importance on them.

Their peak had been from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Back then, there were all kinds of tracks everywhere, from tiny convenience stores outside school gates to shopping malls in city centers.

After so many years, the popularity of Mini 4WDs had long since faded.

On top of that, there were only so many ways to play, and the parts had seen no groundbreaking innovations.

The Island Nation still released a new track layout from time to time, but domestically, only those veteran experts who had long since reached the pinnacle were still holding on.

But niche hobbies had their advantages too. The community was cleaner.

The appearance of GD Racers undoubtedly struck right at the hearts of those experts.

As long as GD Racers were real, they would throw themselves into the embrace of Liang Xing Toys Factory without hesitation.

No player in this circle could refuse a Mini 4WD that could be voice-controlled and unleash special moves!

'Go in and take a look already! Stop dragging your feet!'

Flowers x99

'Buy one and try it.'

Cruise Ship x1

A Cruise Ship sailed across the center of the screen. It was the first time A Lie had received such an expensive gift.

Douyin only had four kinds of gifts: free Hearts, Flowers that cost 1 Huaxia Currency each, animated Cruise Ships that cost 1,000 each, and the most expensive animated Fleets, which cost 10,000.

Cruise Ships and Fleets both gave gifts to viewers in the livestream room. The difference was that Cruise Ships could only let viewers claim a few Flowers at most, while Fleets not only sent a dynamic notification across all livestream rooms, but also allowed viewers to claim gifts worth up to a Cruise Ship.

Moreover, sending a Fleet activated an exclusive effect that lasted for a month. The effect would also appear again whenever the sender entered that livestream room.

A Lie had never seen a Fleet anyway, but now that he had received a Cruise Ship today, could a Fleet still be far off?

"Thanks, boss, for the Cruise Ship! And thanks to everyone for the gifts! I'll run over as soon as the light turns green!"

Douyin split gifts fifty-fifty with regular streamers, which meant that A Lie had earned more than 500 Huaxia Currency in that short time.

Before his words had even faded, the red light had just turned green, and A Lie dashed across in a flash!

(Good kids, remember to watch the road even when the light is green.)

Liang Xing Toys Factory's Baisha City physical store.

The store name was simple and plain. Renovations were still underway inside, and it looked like they were building a track.

"Hey, miss, is your store open already?"

When A Lie saw a young girl directing the renovation work, he immediately went over to ask.

"Ah? We're open, we're open! Are you buying parts or GD Racers?" The young girl was a little slow on the uptake. She clearly froze for a moment before smiling and preparing to lead the way.

"You haven't heard of the GD Chip yet, have you? I recommend starting with the basic model. There's a simple introduction to the chip inside.

But the in-store track hasn't been installed yet, so you can't test-run it for now. Is that acceptable?"

A Lie had not even said a word when the young girl led him to pick out a box containing a basic GD Racers model, waiting only for him to pay.

"It's 499 after the discount. Would you like any other parts?"

It was the first day of the physical store's opening. The basic model was half price, while parts were ten percent off. The young girl had memorized it all perfectly.

"Half price, and it's still 499?"

'Buy it!'

Cruise Ship x1

--

A week had passed since the War God was born. Liang Xing personally got to work renovating and upgrading the Toy Factory.

For now, GD Chip production was still handled in the old factory building.

Once the workers became proficient, the production time for each batch of chips was shortened to a little over an hour. After defective products were removed, only around 120 chips remained.

The factory had been running at full capacity all week. The workers worked day and night in two shifts, and by the time Mini 4WD Kid A Lie bought the first basic GD Racers model, Liang Xing Toys Factory's inventory of GD Chips had already reached nearly 15,000.

Production would definitely decrease later. Around ten hours a day would be about right.

After all, manpower was limited, and the machines could not sustain nonstop, overloaded production around the clock for long periods.

But the birth of GD Racers was destined to carve out a broad road ahead for Liang Xing Toys Factory!

Celebrating the first proper comment!
