How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

"Where's your car parked?"

"You want a favor for just taking a spin in your car? What does that make me?"

"When you get your own car, just lend it to me for a drive, that'll do."

Saying that, Tong Jingcheng took Gu Heng to where his car was parked, then after a brief talk with the staff, he came back.

"OK, I just spoke with the staff, and they are opening up the track entrance. You just follow the directions to get on the track."

Gu Heng nodded, got into the car and acclimated to the driving feel of the SF90...

What should be said and what shouldn't...

Indeed, it's quite something...

Gu Heng drove at low speed toward the track entrance, a total of about 200 meters. Even at that short distance, he could sense that unique handling sensation that only a supercar can offer...

This driving experience is simply unattainable in a business car like the Bentley Flying Spur.

"How does it feel?"

As if he couldn't quite be at ease, Tong Jingcheng had followed over at a quick trot and was standing by the window, asking Gu Heng.

"It's really quite nice."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing his own car praised, Tong Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh, "Drive with confidence, I've filled the tank with 102 octane race track fuel today, energy levels totally maxed out."

"As long as you're not scared, you can slam on the gas pedal as hard as you want!"

"Really?"

Initially, Gu Heng just wanted to get a feel for the supercar's driving sensation...

But hearing what Tong Jingcheng said, he started to have some other ideas...

"Of course it's true! But still, safety first."

Giving Tong Jingcheng a slight nod, Gu Heng started communicating with the system in his mind.

"System, how much does it cost to upgrade Basic Driving Skills to Mastery?"

[Upgrading Mastery of Primary Driving Skills to advanced level will cost 10 million yuan.]

"How much?!"

Although he had anticipated the price to be steep, he hadn't expected it to be this high! Basic for 1 million, and advanced jumps to 10 times that amount?

Up to now, the most he ever spent was 10 million yuan on a house. And now, upgrading driving skills would cost another 10 million? Were they trying to bankrupt him?

"What if I don't go up to advanced, but to intermediate instead?"

[There is no intermediate level; after basic comes advanced.]

Gu Heng: "..."

It was probably because he had been exploiting the system too much lately, so now the system was planning to fleece him in return...

But even as he complained internally, Gu Heng confirmed the purchase.

Mastery of Primary Driving Skills was definitely enough for daily driving, but if he wanted to experience speed and excitement on a professional racetrack, it was clearly insufficient...

And if his driving skills weren't up to par and something happened on the track, it would be even more unworthy...

So... some money still had to be spent...

[Mastery of Primary Driving Skills has been upgraded to Mastery of Advanced Driving Skills, remaining balance: 92.75 million yuan.]

Oh great...

After so much effort to break 100 million...

One swipe from the system, and it's back to a measly eight figures...

Fortunately, the shortfall isn't too large, just a few million. A couple of indulgences and it can be earned back in no time...

Just as Gu Heng was focusing on his improving driving skills, the countdown had already started on the board at the racetrack entrance...

After receiving [Mastery of Advanced Driving Skills], Gu Heng suddenly turned back and smiled at Tong Jingcheng standing by the car window, "After I'm done driving, I'll pay for the vehicle inspection fees."

Tong Jingcheng: "???"

With a smile still on his face, Tong Jingcheng felt an ominous premonition upon hearing Gu Heng's words...

Just as he was about to ask for clarity, he saw Gu Heng had already rolled up the window under the staff's instruction...

As the timer hit zero, Gu Heng pressed down hard on the accelerator...

Accompanied by a soaring roar, the red body of the car shot out like a sharp arrow...

That's right, it flew, skimming just above the ground!

As a civilian-grade professional race car, the Ferrari SF90's maximum horsepower reached 780, once hailed as the fastest mass-produced supercar, accelerating to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. This figure alone vividly demonstrates just how powerful the SF90 is.

With "Mastery of Advanced Driving Skills" under his belt, Gu Heng felt confident and bold...

His face was very steady as he looked ahead...

The speed on the dashboard kept jumping, quickly surpassing 260, and it continued to soar, with the engine's roar growing fiercer and fiercer.

In the blink of an eye, the speed reached 300 km/h. This velocity could be considered the limit for supercars; a slight wobble of the car body could result in a rollover and fatal crash.

Feeling the scenery on both sides rushing backward, and watching car after car being left behind...

Gu Heng's face started to flush red...

This was a response of blood rushing to the brain after extreme excitement...

Gu Heng didn't know what his heart rate had reached, but he could clearly feel the thumping in his chest...

Supercar!

This was the true romance of a man!

The total length of the Shanghai International Circuit is 5451.24 meters, with seven left turns and seven right turns. As the nearly kilometer-long straight track came to an end, the first bend was now approaching...

At that moment...

Even with "Mastery of Advanced Driving Skills," Gu Heng could no longer keep his composure...

If 300 km/h represents speed...

Then the graceful drift around a bend is the true passion!

There's a saying, isn't there? It's the one who is fast on the bends that is truly fast; who can't accelerate on a straight?

Gu Heng took a deep breath, gradually eased off the accelerator, and the speed slowed down a bit...

When it came to taking the actual turn, he yanked the steering wheel forcefully. The front of the car immediately swerved, the body began to sway, and the tires screeched against the ground in harsh friction.

Drops of sweat streamed down Gu Heng's forehead, the ticklish tingling sensation reaching his brain, but at this moment, he had no way to wipe it off...

Squinting slightly to prevent the sweat from getting in his eyes, as soon as the front of the car was adjusted, Gu Heng stared dead ahead and stepped on the accelerator without hesitation!

A perfect drift around the bend!

At that time, the SF90 was like a red dragon. Nobody could see the car's specific shape clearly; all they saw was a red streak passing car after car...

And Gu Heng, in the driver's seat, rightly became the most dazzling figure of the entire racetrack!

Workers and ticket-buying visitors surrounding the track all fixed their gazes on this red beam of light, many taking out their phones to capture the moment...

"Damn, is this guy playing with his life? Driving like that?"

"Shit, if I hadn't glanced and seen today isn't a race day, I'd suspect this guy is some professional racer..."

"Hey bro, can you send me the video you just took? I want to post it on TikTok; damn, that's too thrilling."

Gu Heng was unaware of the discussions about him outside the racetrack at the moment. As the turn ended, he drove the SF90 back onto the straight and once again shot forth like a beam of light toward the distance...

Leaving behind on the track those black tire marks still smoking...

"Awesome!!!"

A shout filled with intense pleasure burst from Gu Heng's mouth...

[Host experiences speed and passion, repeatedly dancing on the edge of death, successfully indulging in desires. Reward: 8 million yuan, balance 100.75 million yuan.]

The balance, which had just dropped from nine digits, was back up to nine digits...

But at that moment, Gu Heng no longer cared about that as he continued to focus on driving the SF90 on the track...

Gu Heng suddenly felt that the so-called indulgence he experienced before was child's play compared to this...

This was the ultimate romance of a man!

The romance between life and death!

With a press of the accelerator, you either experience the ultimate speed or meet a grisly end along with your car.

Compared to the swagger of throwing money around in a nightclub, nothing beats the thrill that comes from a rapid secretion of adrenaline. It's even more exhilarating than being with ten women!
