The burnt brown base color has a semi-transparent texture, with dark red filaments interwoven inside that slowly swirl.
Su Wei pinched the glass sphere between his fingers, aimed it at the hollow bone eye socket of the Kodiak brown bear king, and pushed it in forcefully.
Perfectly fitted.
Just as the prosthetic eye was inserted into the base, a low-frequency drumbeat slammed down from below the timeline.
"Dong€€€€"
A dull thud entered Su Wei's ear canal through the monitoring headphones.
On the screen, dark red threads suddenly surged.
The once-still, massive, pale white skeleton has fully come back to life.
Two dark flames shot out from the LCD screen.
Even if he personally assembled and repaired the skeleton.
Even though he personally calibrated the outward angle of that prosthetic eye.
As Su Wei watched the full-screen replay, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
This near-perfect specimen's deterrent power was not diminished by the compression of the digital signal.
This creation, which transcends the conventional physical boundaries of death, is extremely oppressive.
I took off my headphones and tossed them onto the table.
Click with the mouse to render and export.
The case fans were running at full speed, blowing out bursts of warm air from the exhaust vents.
While waiting for the rendering to complete, Su Wei switched to the backend email interface.
The unread count in the inbox is 99+ in red.
The account that documents the landscaping and the hard work involved is about to surpass one million followers.
The explosive growth in commercial value has disrupted the typical growth curve of accounts.
Scroll the mouse wheel.
The screen is filled with flashy sponsorship requests and promotions for shoddy equipment.
It even includes high-priced invitations from overseas gambling websites.
Su Wei remained expressionless, rapidly clicking the left mouse button with his index finger.
He deleted these worthless spam emails in bulk.
While cleaning up the third page, an email with a special domain name caught his attention.
From: Apex Polar Power – North America Heavy-Duty Off-Road Modification Federation.
This company has an excellent reputation in the top off-road community and has been providing extensive modification solutions for the Dakar Rally and Alaska expedition teams for many years.
Open the email.
The main text is formatted meticulously.
"Dear Mr. Su, our technical team has worked overnight to analyze the video footage of you driving your stock Raptor through the black ice road during the blizzard."
"That was a top-level polar driving test. But your original suspension and antifreeze system have a very low survival rate in the extreme cold of Kodiak Island's winter."
"We hope to offer you a complete off-road modification package for your vehicle, valued at $85,000, to be equivalent to a polar fortress."
"Includes military-grade nitrogen shock absorbers, full-coverage chassis armor, and an independent engine heating source."
"The modification fee is waived, and we will pay an additional $80,000 USD as a one-phase cooperation fee."
"There's only one request: to showcase the survivability of this Raptor, bearing the Apex logo, in extreme blizzards through your lens."
Below the text is a six-page list of modifications.
The hardness rating of each antifreeze bolt is clearly listed.
Su Wei finished reading the last line and leaned back in his chair.
Temperatures on Kodiak Island can plummet to minus thirty degrees Celsius in the dead of winter.
The lubricating oil will freeze into a gel, and the chassis metal will become brittle under the pressure of snow.
Absolute vehicle stability is the foundation for navigating the wilderness.
A top-of-the-line full car modification delivered to your door, plus $80,000 in revenue.
Su Wei reached into his down jacket pocket with his right hand and pulled out his car keys.
His thumb rubbed against the keychain pendant.
It was a roughly carved yet lifelike wooden bear head sculpture.
The metal key struck the bone and wood material in the palm of the hand, producing a crisp sound.
Commercial monetization must be exercised with restraint; one must never be led by capital.
Sometimes focusing too much on immediate profits and neglecting long-term development can damage an account.
Su Wei pressed the physical microphone button on the external microphone and recorded a voice message as an attachment to the reply.
"The hardware meets the requirements; cooperation is possible."
"The fee will be the 80,000 you quoted; I won't raise it."
"But the rules are my rules. There won't be any deliberate sales pitches in the video."
"Vehicle extrication and performance demonstrations must be based on high-intensity real-world scenarios such as towing giant logs, transporting heavy steel, or hunting in snow."
"If the shock absorbers break while hauling cargo, or if the underbody armor is punctured by basalt and leaks oil, and such a rollover occurs, then I will not send the video."
"Furthermore, you also need to compensate me for my losses."
"If you can accept this risk, I think we can continue the discussion."
Send email.
Release the button, and the microphone's red light will turn off.
He wasn't worried about being rejected.
These top-tier custom car brands that sell an image of extreme tough guys never lack the money to buy traffic.
What they lack are people who can push heavy equipment to its limits in the polar wilderness and demonstrate its excellent performance.
And coincidentally, he belongs to one of those categories.
The cabin was warm and dry.
The aroma of roasting meat sizzled in the kitchen, mingling with the scent of purple cabbage.
A loud thud came from the corner of the living room.
Su Wei turned his head to look.
The Cotton Candy, who had been playing dead after being frightened by the bear king's skeleton, has now fully recovered its vitality.
The high calories in Angus beef quickly translate into explosive power.
The Stamina Energy Storage effect of [ Simple Dietary Supplementation ] makes it energetic.
It pulled out a gray, coarse ball of yarn.
A white ball of fluff was running wildly on the wool carpet.
Four short legs blurred as they slipped repeatedly along the edge of the wooden floor.
It pounced on the ball of yarn, bit the end of the yarn, and shook its head wildly from side to side.
The ball of yarn slipped out and rolled directly into a narrow gap at the bottom of the leather sofa.
The Cotton Candy lowered its front half, trying to squeeze inside.
The gap is too narrow.
Its front half squeezed in, while its round rear and fluffy tail got stuck outside.
Its two hind legs kicked wildly in mid-air, its claws scratching at the sofa fabric, making rapid whimpering sounds.
Su Wei sat in his chair watching this scene and laughed.
The long-strained nerves of the wilderness were completely relaxed in those few minutes.
He stood up, his hands gripping the handrails, his footsteps making a dull thud on the wooden floor.
Walked to the sofa.
He bent down, pinched the thick fur on the back of the fox's neck with his right hand, and with a little force, lifted the white fur ball out.
The Cotton Candy swayed twice in mid-air.
A speck of dust clung to its pink nose.
It closed its eyes and sneezed loudly.
The [ Animal Affinity ] effect of the Beast Taming Module runs silently in the background.
Cotton Candy turned her head and licked Su Wei's hand with her warm tongue.
