Win-Win

"How was business?"

The sky outside gradually darkened, and there were no longer many customers still absorbed in the track.

After A Lie finished racing that afternoon, he left with a huge pile of parts.

Too many people in the toy store wanted to challenge Qi Tian, and the modification area was even more packed.

Compared to Mini 4WD, GD Racers could perform every function of Mini 4WD—and even do better.

Even if the entry barrier cost several hundred more Huaxia Currency, and the parts were generally more expensive.

But in this day and age, how many people who still stuck with Mini 4WD were poor?

Besides, when you got down to it, GD Racers belonged to Mini 4WD anyway.

So their transition was especially natural, as though they had merely switched to a new car.

And GD Racers had more parts, so they could spend more time chatting and exchanging ideas with everyone in the modification area.

Once they accepted the existence of the GD Chip, there was no going back.

What was the point of Mini 4WD having a high top speed?

If you could not even see its shadow on the track, how could it compare to the sense of involvement from chasing along with a GD Racer?

Modification, command—they could experience something entirely different.

These were our own one-of-a-kind GD Racers!

The transformation of Four-Wheel Kid A Lie was the most obvious.

He felt the noisy environment was not ideal for streaming, so he hurried home with some new ideas, effectively setting the tone for his future streams.

Racing was one part of it; modification was another.

And over the entire afternoon at the toy store, only one person successfully completed the challenge.

That was only because Qi Tian's War God had run out of battery. The little guy was still not particularly skilled at replacing batteries, allowing someone else to finish the course.

After all, those challengers had all copied Qi Tian's War God without any especially impressive modification skills. Naturally, counterfeits could not beat the original.

Some drivers with ideas of their own, on the other hand, had also spent the entire day at the toy store.

Liang Xing gave them quite a few suggestions as well, prompting them to buy plenty more parts.

Once they finished their modifications in a few days, the races would finally become interesting.

Otherwise, they were basically all bumper cars right now. They even ran four cars at once on a track that was only half a meter wide at its widest point.

The moment they let go, they crashed. It was thrilling as hell!

Anyway, Liang Xing saw that they were happily buying parts and having a great time.

Since it was a win-win situation, why not?

Only when the little guy could not run anymore did Liang Xing take him out for some Jumping Frog, while also packing several takeout meals for the toy store workers.

At noon, Qi Tian had been fully absorbed in modifying his car, and Zhou Shuya had conveniently ordered takeout for them as well. Liang Xing naturally returned the favor.

"Almost two hundred thousand. Most of it came from online orders.

"I also followed that streamer. When he ended his stream, he said he'd come again tomorrow."

The toy store's official website still used its old address. During the breaks while Qi Tian and A Lie assembled their cars, Liang Xing tinkered with it a little and basically rebuilt the whole site.

The old official website had been completely useless. It was simply a domain Liang Xing's grandfather had bought because other companies were doing the same.

Its only function was telling anyone who stumbled across it that there was a Liang Xing Toys Factory in Baisha City, mainly selling all kinds of toy cars.

The toy cars listed on the website had never been updated. When Liang Xing clicked in to check, the prices were still the original ones—basically two to three times the in-store price.

And that was it.

The only good news was that searching "Liang Xing" brought the toy factory's official website up on the first page. Rebuilding it had not been a waste of time, at least.

There were simply too many parts, and there had also been plenty of customers that afternoon. Entering the parts and their prices was not something Liang Xing could tally up just by thinking for a moment, so the site still was not completely finished.

Anyway, he left the website account to Zhou Shuya. She could add the remaining parts whenever she had time.

She was quite responsible. Even while eating, she was still thinking about entering prices.

"They're selling several copies right after I list them? Aren't these people taking this way too seriously?"

Liang Xing had linked the official website to Zhou Shuya's phone, so it sent her a notification whenever an order came in. It was a perk he gave the main store—free commission.

The notifications rang nonstop all afternoon. Only after the interested crowd had bought nearly everything they wanted did the frequency gradually fall.

But whenever Zhou Shuya listed a new part, the notification sounds would immediately become frantic again.

No wonder she complained that those drivers were taking things too seriously.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Liang Xing was delighted to see it, but he needed to take his little nephew home.

"I'll leave this place to you, then. I need to take Tiantian back first."

The little guy had already fallen asleep against Liang Xing. He had truly exhausted himself that afternoon.

Yet he had been so caught up in playing that he had not felt tired at all while running around like mad. Instead, he fell asleep halfway through his meal.

Liang Xing carried the little guy on his back and prepared to head home.

But the changes he had brought to this world were only just beginning.

Douyin, 2233 Barrage Network, and numerous other video sites all began seeing a huge wave of GD Racer-related videos.

Naturally, the most common were all sorts of unboxing videos.

In today's society, same-city delivery was absurdly fast.

Then came races filmed from every possible angle. The entire afternoon's bumper car festival was all there, from every perspective imaginable.

Qi Tian even became inexplicably popular, with netizens affectionately calling him the "Bumper Car Flow Founder."

And, as expected, A Lie was awarded the title of "Fight 5 Scum." Four-Wheel Kid A Lie immediately renamed himself GD Racer A Lie.

He even found a meme video of himself. One second, he was looking down on everyone and completely dismissing Qi Tian; the next, he was outclassed, smiling broadly as he repeatedly said he would come back next time.

He swore to heaven that he had never looked down on Qi Tian.

These people were toxic!

With some editing and subtitles, it really did have that feel.

Anyway, Liang Xing laughed when he saw it and even deliberately shared it with A Lie.

A Lie was quite the character too.

He could slack off between modifications, stream himself watching his own meme video, then complain bitterly a few times. Wouldn't that bring in more traffic again?

In fact, as long as A Lie submitted an application through the Internet Intellectual Property Protection Platform, he could immediately demand money from the creator of that meme video.

In the Parallel World, unboxing videos and meme videos like these were considered borderline cases. As long as the relevant person filed a claim, they would definitely be able to get paid!

The amount was generally tied to the revenue generated by the video, though there was a cap, so it would not be much.

Besides, for content with promotional value, basically no one would demand money from them.

This was also an unspoken rule in the Parallel World: creators were assumed to be promoting things for free.

As for critical videos, as long as they made reasonable points, there was no need to worry about extra costs at all.

But if they could not produce evidence, they might as well wait to die.

Every lawsuit was a guaranteed win!

Compensation was calculated based on view count and the other party's assets.

Even if the other party had nothing, the compensation would at least equal the view count.

A Lie's meme video was a borderline case among borderline cases, using editing and captions to twist A Lie's true thoughts.

If he insisted on suing, he could make the creator delete the video and apologize. But after finally getting an opportunity like this, A Lie wanted nothing more than to appear in even more videos.

This was a win-win.

Since you've read this far, why not invest a little?

Let's fleece Qidian together!
