Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 47 Auto Show
"Human body scroll art?" Wu Xian's expression was strange. "Tattoos?"

The key point is that I didn't see any tattoos on Zhang Mazi's body.

The two underlings snorted and emphasized again, "It's a human body scroll art!"

"Oh, oh," Wu Xian became even more curious, "Could you please tell Brother Zhang Mazi that I also want to join your glorious evolution?"

I just casually threw out a joke, but I didn't expect my two underlings to actually take it to heart.

"A glorious...evolution?"

The two murmured to themselves, their eyes gradually brightening.

Even after the two left, they kept repeating this phrase.

Wu Xian watched the two walk away with a strange look in his eyes, then walked out of the alley and hailed a taxi.

Since Brother Zhu's truck is used, it's not very convenient for him to enter the city.

"Haha, it's a good opportunity to check out the auto show on the way. Hold on tight, young man."

Amidst the driver's laughter and conversation, he stepped on the gas and took off.

"Does the driver like cars?"

"What a statement! What man wouldn't like that?" the driver joked. "I heard that all the major car companies are holding back big surprises this year, and they started building hype a month before the auto show."

I wonder if there are any new cars suitable for ordinary people like us.

Wu Xian smiled and continued, "What do you think of our local car companies?"

"Local car manufacturers?" The driver looked at him strangely. "What good cars can local car manufacturers make? Aren't they all just utility vehicles? Any cars that sell well are either models that are licensed from or modified from big companies?"

"..." Wu Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Young man, don't be fooled by local car manufacturers. If you're going to buy a car, buy a big brand. The quality is guaranteed, and most importantly, it will make you look good."

Wu Xian smiled but remained silent.

Optimus Prime is just the beginning; there are many more Autobots waiting to line up and make their appearances.

Shortly after, the taxi arrived at the new auto show venue.

After parking the car, the driver also began to drive around with great interest.

Wu Xian followed the signs and headed straight for the Tang family's vehicle exhibition area.

I glanced at the exhibition areas of major car companies along the way. They mainly featured mid-to-high-end models, with luxury models prominently displayed, each with an outrageous premium.

However, in Wu Xian's opinion, the design and luxury were both mediocre.

When we unleash Bumblebee, Crosshair, and Drift, those sports cars will absolutely obliterate these luxury cars, leaving nothing but dust. The key is, we can also transform and fight.

Tang's Vehicles' exhibition area wasn't very large, and the location wasn't great either, after all, it's not a big company.

Even so, it still became the most popular exhibition area at the event.

On the one hand, it was because the Tang family had built up momentum in advance and spent money to bring in a lot of media. On the other hand, it was because Brother Zhu's style was out of place at the auto show.

Even many of his peers came to watch the spectacle.

Tang Zhenghong was chatting and laughing with leaders of various car companies over there, and in order not to expose Wu Xian's identity, he couldn't come over directly.

"Little Xianzi, you're here?" Tang Beng greeted him immediately.

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, "Quite a grand affair."

"No rush, let the bullets fly for a while," Tang Beng grinned mischievously, "and then we'll blind their eyes."

"Where's Sister Tiao? Is she still messing around with the Soul Divine Diagram?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"They seem a bit obsessed," Tang Beng thought to himself with a sigh. "They've only just entered the studio, what's the rush? Can't we just take it slow?"

As they spoke, more and more people came to watch the spectacle, and several local media rivals also began their sarcastic and provocative remarks.

"What's the point of Tang's Vehicles exhibiting this? A whole beat-up truck?"

"Is this a deliberate attempt to create buzz?"

"To be honest, this attention-grabbing tactic is quite effective; at least everyone has been drawn in."

"What good is just being able to puncture eyeballs? Without securing distribution rights for major brands, who would recognize him?"

On Tang Zhenghong's side, several local business partners couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks, "Old Tang has some clever tricks up his sleeve, to think of such a move, brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

"For an event like this, bringing a truck to the exhibition, does the Tang family not have any new cars to offer?" The Pang family patriarch sarcastically remarked, "Why don't you borrow a few from one of our families?"

"Please don't be in a hurry, everyone. There are reasons why the Tang family is doing this," Tang Zhenghong said confidently.

The Pang family patriarch and his companions secretly scoffed. However, several agents from major brands were intrigued. One of the young talents, his eyes flashing, said, "I've heard that your son has entered the world of mechanical scroll painting. Could this heavy truck be your creation?"

"I suppose so," Tang Zhenghong said with a slight smile.

This was something he and Wu Xian had discussed beforehand, with Tang Beng temporarily taking the lead.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and all the media immediately turned their cameras toward Tang Beng.

"Hey~ So it turns out it was all to promote his son?"

"I was wondering why this heavy truck looked so unfamiliar. Turns out it's an original model designed by Mr. Tang."

"But the heavy truck market is so small, why bother with a heavy truck?"

"The key is that someone has to be willing to pay for it. Who knows if Young Master Tang's heavy truck is any good?"

"What good stuff can a rich kid make? Anyone who buys it is an idiot."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a figure dressed in tattered clothes and with disheveled hair squeezed through the crowd, his eyes lighting up when he saw Wu Xian and Brother Zhu in the exhibition area.

That's right, it's the same motorcycle taxi driver from before.

"Haha, bro, you weren't kidding me, it really is a Tang's vehicle!" The motorcycle driver excitedly rushed into the exhibition area. "Who's in charge? Is there a discount for the first order?"

The receptionist rushed forward, "Hello sir, the first car owner can enjoy a 30% discount."

"30% off? Not bad," the motorcycle driver nodded. "Here you go~ swipe your card, I want the copy, don't get me wrong."

Wu Xian watched from the side, his eyes wide with disbelief.

It's worth noting that the initial price of the Pillar Brother [Dungeon Edition] was 200 million!
Are motorcycle taxi drivers that rich?

The key point is that this guy doesn't look like a rich person at all.

"Wow, someone actually placed an order? Or is it a shill?"

"What the hell? A beat-up truck, with a starting price of two million?"

"Who gave Young Master Tang the nerve?"

"Why didn't they hire a more professional shill? What's wrong with this guy?"

"Does this young master from the Tang family really think his original works are worth a lot of money?"

At the same time, amidst a chorus of questions, Tang Beng slowly walked to Zhu Zi Ge's side and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"You all don't really think this is just a heavy truck, do you?"

"Is not it?"

A chorus of mocking laughter rose from the crowd.

"Please open your eyes wide and look carefully," Tang Beng smiled slightly, his mind flickering, "This scroll is titled [Optimus Prime]!"

As the voice faded, the red and blue heavy truck behind him made a series of clicking sounds.

Then, in complete silence, it rose from the ground and transformed into a cool mechanical warrior five or six meters tall.

"Fuck!"

It's unclear who started swearing, but the entire exhibition hall erupted in chaos.

Cameras and flashes from various media outlets clicked incessantly as they swarmed forward to conduct interviews.

The local car companies, led by the head of the Pang family, were dumbfounded on the spot, while Tang Zhenghong was already surrounded by representatives of various brands.

On this day, the name "Optimus Prime" was destined to ignite the entire vehicle industry.

Wu Xian retreated to the side as if concealing his merits and fame, exchanged glances with the Tang family father and son on the stage, and then leisurely prepared to leave.

"Hey bro, don't go! When are you going to deliver this vehicle?" The motorcycle driver chased after them.

"A week at most."

"That's great!" The motorcycle driver was overjoyed.

"Seriously, are you that rich, bro?" Wu Xian asked curiously. "Or do you usually dress like this just to experience life?"

The older brother waved his hand dismissively, lit a cigarette in a nonchalant manner, and said:
"Young man, you're still young and don't understand my carefree attitude. I have neither a wife nor children, and I live wherever I go. This little bit of money is nothing to me!"

Wu Xian silently gave his older brother a thumbs up.

He is truly a role model for us all!
