How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 715

Late at night, Yang Chen quietly slipped out of bed while Ying Zheng was asleep. He got in his car and returned to the real world.

Yang Chen drove the car out of the yard and promptly fell asleep.

He didn’t wake up until nearly noon. He hadn’t slept well these past few days with Ying Zheng, so he couldn’t help but sleep in.

After lunch, Yang Chen called Qiu Yuhong.

“Hello, Chairman Qiu, I need you to acquire some more hardware for me. Besides submachine guns, if you could also get grenades or rocket launchers, anything you can get discreetly. Just make sure there’s plenty,” Yang Chen instructed.

Qiu Yuhong quickly replied, “That’s not a problem, but you must be careful.”

“Don’t worry, no matter how much you send, it won’t be traced back to you,” Yang Chen assured him.

“Okay! I’ll get it to you as soon as possible!” Qiu Yuhong replied.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen went out to work.

Hard work leads to wealth. He still needed to work when he had time.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiu Yuhong finally arrived to deliver the goods.

This time, he brought a substantial amount. All the hardware Yang Chen wanted was complete, and the ammunition was sufficient. As long as it was used strategically, it would be enough to help Ying Zheng unify the six kingdoms with relative ease.

War would inevitably cause many injuries. With the limited medical standards of the Warring States period, many soldiers would be disabled or die from wound infections.

Therefore, Yang Chen also needed to prepare some penicillin and other medicines to save the injured soldiers and make Ying Zheng more reliant on him.

Yang Chen contacted Dawn Hospital for a batch of penicillin, disinfectant alcohol, gauze, and other medical supplies. After everything was ready, he began transporting the supplies to Ying Zheng’s backyard through the portal.

Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials in the pavilion when Yang Chen’s car suddenly appeared. He immediately put down his work and rushed over to greet him.

“Mr. is back. I have missed you dearly,” Ying Zheng said excitedly.

Yang Chen parked the car and said with a smile, “I’ve prepared a lot of useful things. Come and help me unload them.”

Yang Chen opened the car door and the trunk, and Ying Zheng quickly came to help move the military supplies.

It was quite tiring to move them over bit by bit. Yang Chen had an idea. What if he threw them directly from the other side of the door? Wouldn’t the items just appear here?

Yang Chen and Ying Zheng moved everything down and put it away, then quickly moved the car away.

“Brother Zheng, just stand in this position and wait. I’ll go back and throw something over to see if you can catch it. It’s too tiring to load it over bit by bit,” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng was like an obedient child in front of Yang Chen. He quickly nodded and replied, “Okay, okay.”

Yang Chen summoned the time-space door and returned to the Prince Gong’s Mansion.

He carefully lifted a box of AK bullets and gently pushed it into the time-space door. He followed closely behind and also stepped into the time-space door. Sure enough, the box arrived at Ying Zheng’s feet first, and then Yang Chen walked out.

“Mr., it really works! This thing just appeared out of thin air. It’s amazing. Is this the magical skill of 2000 years into the future?” Ying Zheng praised excitedly.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Of course not. I am a reincarnation of a deity, and only I possess this kind of magical artifact that transcends time and space. No one else has it. It can be said that the heavens sent me to help you unify the six kingdoms, so you need to accelerate your progress.”

“Go back and throw things over, and you receive them here.”

Ying Zheng nodded excitedly and said, “Okay, thank you for your help, Mr.”

Yang Chen returned to the Prince Gong’s Mansion and directly pushed the submachine guns, bullets, medicines, etc., through the time-space door. Soon, the open space behind Ying Zheng was filled with supplies and weapons and ammunition.

Yang Chen had the system’s help, with strong physical reserves and fast recovery speed, but Ying Zheng didn’t have such an advantage. By the time everything was delivered, Ying Zheng, who was already in poor physical condition, was too tired to move.

Yang Chen walked over, and Ying Zheng still wanted to struggle to stand up to greet him.

Yang Chen quickly said with a smile, “Okay, Brother Zheng, just lie down. No need to stand on ceremony with me. These things need to be used sparingly. It wasn’t easy for me to get them.”

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, “What are these?”

Yang Chen replied, “These are guns and bullets, and some more powerful grenades. When I train the soldiers later, you can witness the power of these grenades firsthand.”

Ying Zheng nodded.

Yang Chen then took out penicillin, gauze, disinfectant alcohol, etc., and carefully explained the uses of these items to Ying Zheng.

After listening, Ying Zheng’s eyes filled with tears. He grabbed Yang Chen’s hands and said, “Mr. is truly sent by the heavens to help me. With these medicines, many soldiers can be spared from disability or death. The combat effectiveness of my Great Qin will be stronger, and the unification of the six kingdoms is just around the corner!”

“How has the fighting been these past two weeks while I was gone?” Yang Chen asked.

Ying Zheng asked with a look of surprise, “Two weeks? Hasn’t it been a full 14 years?”

Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, forgetting that the two times were different.

Yang Chen explained with a smile, “Oh, I am a reincarnation of a deity, so I am accustomed to the previous time calculation method. One day for me is equivalent to one year in the human world. When I say half a month, isn’t that what you call 14 years?”

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said, “What Mr. says makes sense.”

Calculating the time, it should be 225 BC, and the Qin State was about to attack the Chu State.

Yang Chen quickly asked, “Did you send Li Xin and Meng Wu to attack the Chu State?”

Ying Zheng said with a shocked expression, “Oh my, Mr. is truly a god; you can even predict this. That’s right, I did send Li Xin and Meng Wu to lead 200,000 troops to attack the Chu State. After destroying the Chu State, the remaining Yan and Qi States will not be a concern. I originally wanted to send Wang Jian to lead the army, but he refused, saying that this battle would definitely be defeated. In a fit of anger, I didn’t use him and let Li Xin and Meng Wu command the war.”

Yang Chen quickly asked, “Have the troops set off?”

“They have been gone for three days. Li Xin is attacking Pingyu, and Meng Wu is attacking Linchuan,” Ying Zheng said.

Yang Chen immediately said, “Immediately write a letter and send someone to deliver it to the two generals as quickly as possible, ordering them to withdraw their troops immediately. General Wang Jian is right; you will definitely be defeated in this battle. This defeat will greatly reduce your morale. Later, you gave Wang Jian 600,000 troops to defeat the Chu State. Therefore, there is no need for Li Xin and Meng Wu to lead the soldiers to their deaths. Let’s first train a commando team with guns, distribute the medical supplies, make full preparations, and then let Wang Jian lead the troops to attack the Chu State.”

Ying Zheng deeply believed in Yang Chen’s words.

He quickly ran to write two letters, then called the guards to send the letters to the post station, ordering the post station to deliver them to Li Xin and Meng Wu as quickly as possible.

The 100,000 troops led by Li Xin had just arrived outside Pingyu City and set up camp, preparing to have a hearty meal tomorrow and then attack the city.

Just after dinner, Ying Zheng’s letter arrived.

After reading Ying Zheng’s letter, Li Xin frowned.

“What does the King mean? We finally came here; why are we retreating again? He also said that the Prime Minister said this battle would be defeated. The Prime Minister has been missing for more than ten years; is he back?”

Although his mind was full of doubts, Li Xin still strictly carried out Ying Zheng’s orders.

“Pass my order! The entire army will return to Xianyang tomorrow after eating!”

The soldiers were all dumbfounded. They finally came here, and they were going back without even engaging in battle?!

How demoralizing would that be!

“General, why is this?”

“Yes! We finally came here; why are we going back like this? The morale of the soldiers will be affected.”

“What kind of letter did the King send?”

…

Li Xin replied, “This is the King’s order; we must return tomorrow. The Prime Minister who has been missing for more than ten years is back. It must be the Prime Minister who asked the King to call us back. Alas… what is this Prime Minister thinking? Anyway, pass my order; we will return to Xianyang tomorrow after eating. Although we are not attacking Pingyu, we cannot relax our vigilance tonight.”

The deputy generals nodded and quickly went to convey the order to their respective departments.

On the other side, the seasoned Meng Wu was about to reach Linchuan when Ying Zheng’s letter arrived.

After reading the letter, Meng Wu did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw to Xianyang.

A few days later, Li Xin and Meng Wu returned to Xianyang and came to see Ying Zheng together.

Yang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, “Hello, Generals, long time no see.”

Li Xin and Meng Wu also quickly greeted Yang Chen.

“The Prime Minister has been gone for 14 years, but he doesn’t seem to have changed,” Meng Wu said with a smile.

Ying Zheng laughed and said, “Mr. is a reincarnation of a deity, naturally different from you and me.”

Yang Chen explained, “Actually, it’s just a difference in time. For me, a day has passed, but for you, a year has passed. So, I just went back for 14 days, but you have passed 14 years here. However, fortunately, this trip back was not in vain. I brought you a lot of useful things. Brother Zheng, the generals are all here; let’s go to the training ground.”
Ying Zheng nodded and immediately went to the training ground.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Everyone has seen the submachine gun, so I won’t introduce it. Now, I would like to introduce a new weapon to you. This is called a grenade. Look, pull the pin like this, swing it around like this, and then throw it out immediately.”

Grenades generally have a 4-5 second delay. If the distance is not very far, swinging the arm around and throwing it out can ensure that the enemy has no reaction time before it explodes.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, a rock 30 meters away was shattered by the grenade.

Even Ying Zheng was startled, and the other generals, although battle-hardened, couldn’t help but tremble.

Ying Zheng was the first to react. He rushed over to check the stone, and the others quickly followed.

Ying Zheng looked at Yang Chen with a shocked expression and said, “Mr., the power of this grenade is so great. Such a big stone was shattered, and it left such a big pit in the ground.”

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “Of course. Everything I bring is definitely top-notch. Generals, imagine what it would be like if hundreds of such grenades were thrown into the enemy’s camp at once? Wouldn’t it be easier to fight like this, and would the battle damage be smaller?”

Wang Jian and others started to use their imaginations, and smiles of anticipation appeared on everyone’s faces.

“Prime Minister, please be sure to allocate more grenades to me. I will definitely take Linchuan at the smallest cost,” Meng Wu said excitedly.

Li Xin also quickly said, “Prime Minister, give me more, and I guarantee to take Pingyu in one day.”

Originally, Wang Jian did not agree to attack the Chu State, but now with such powerful equipment, he had no worries.

Wang Jian immediately said to Ying Zheng, “Your Majesty, your subordinate is willing to personally lead the troops to attack the Chu State. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request!”

Ying Zheng laughed heartily and said, “Good! I will grant you! Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Li Xin, listen to the order! Appoint Wang Jian as the commander-in-chief, Meng Wu as the left general, and Li Xin as the right general, leading 600,000 troops to attack the Chu State. Be sure to destroy the Chu State at the smallest cost and the fastest speed. If the situation allows, go north and destroy the Qi and Yan States as well. I will definitely reward you handsomely!”

Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Li Xin immediately accepted the order.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Yang Chen, and asked, “Prime Minister, how should these weapons and equipment be distributed? You decide.”

Yang Chen waved his hand and said, “Since General Wang Jian is the commander-in-chief, it is his responsibility to decide how to distribute them. I will not interfere. I only need to help the generals train the soldiers to use grenades. Oh, by the way, I also have to teach the military doctors how to use these medical supplies. When these are all prepared, the 600,000 troops can set off.”

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said, “That’s good too. Then let’s do as the Prime Minister says! Wang Jian, you few should cooperate well with the Prime Minister to train the soldiers to use submachine guns and grenades, and also arrange for the military doctors to learn how to use the new medical supplies from the Prime Minister. I will go and prepare the food and military pay for you. We will act separately and strive to set off as soon as possible.”

The crowd nodded and immediately separated to act.

Ying Zheng went back to raise enough food and military pay for the 600,000 troops, while Yang Chen trained the commando members selected by Wang Jian and others.

After more than half a month of intensive training, the commando members were all able to skillfully and safely use submachine guns and grenades.

Yang Chen came to Ying Zheng’s backyard and found Ying Zheng reading a book.

“Brother Zheng, reading?” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Ying Zheng immediately got up to greet him and said with a smile, “Prime Minister is back. Is the training done? How effective was it?”

Yang Chen nodded and replied, “The training is complete, and they can be deployed into battle. I’ll go back first and come back in a few days.”

Ying Zheng quickly said, “Then Mr. should keep an eye on the time and not come back after more than ten years again. I still want to witness the unification of the world with Mr.”

Yang Chen replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I will calculate the time and come over when you ascend the throne and become the First Emperor [Qin Shi Huang]. I will bring some things to celebrate.”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, “Okay, then it’s settled. Mr., take care; I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Anyone who didn’t know would think this was a couple saying goodbye, making it so reluctant.

Yang Chen bid farewell to Ying Zheng, got in the car, and returned to the real world.

### The Robot Girlfriend Officially Goes on Sale

The robot girlfriend launched by Star Technology Company has been officially launched for sale after internal testing.

Yang Chen was very confident in this product and did not do much preparation or publicity. He directly put it on sale in the 4S store of Star Motors.

Star products never need overwhelming advertisements. Yang Chen always adheres to the principle of good quality and good sales to operate products.

The Star Motors Beijing flagship store was crowded.

In the past, customers who bought cars came to see and test drive the cars. Today, many customers who don’t like new energy vehicles also came. They all came to see the robot girlfriend.

Customer: “Why do I think this robot looks a bit like Yang Mi [a famous Chinese actress]? The voice is also similar.”

The salesperson immediately replied with a smile: “This one is the current top configuration. It is indeed modeled after Yang Mi’s appearance and figure, and the voice is also hers. If there are no specific requirements in this regard, you can look at other configuration versions.”

Customer: “How much is this top configuration version?”

Salesperson: “388,000 [yuan, Chinese currency].”

Customer: “It’s a bit expensive, but it’s okay, cheaper than the bride price in our hometown. Is it certain that it can have children?”

Salesperson: “It is certain. But it needs to transplant the embryo into the body and provide nutrients for the growth of the embryo through regular supplementation of nutrient solution. However, our country’s laws do not support this. If customers need to use this function, they must go abroad. We have after-sales teams in many countries that legally support surrogacy and in vitro fertilization for non-legal couples to ensure that customers’ needs are met. It’s just that this requires additional payment, which needs to be negotiated between the customer and our after-sales team. Because the country chosen by the customer is different, the cost is different. For example, if the customer chooses to give birth in the United States, the cost will be higher. If you choose to give birth in Africa, it will be much cheaper. Because this is also related to the issue of the child obtaining nationality, it involves very complicated legal issues, which I can’t explain clearly here, and the customer needs to discuss it with our after-sales team in detail.”

Customer: “Then I just want to buy a robot with a strong sense of realism like this, and I don’t need high-end functions such as pregnancy. How much does it cost?”

Salesperson: “That’s our entry-level version, which only costs 99,800 [yuan]. You can choose loli [cute young girl] voice, royal sister [mature woman] voice, tomboy voice, etc. The initial settings will be in Dragon Country [China] language and English, and customers can also spend money to update the version to make her speak more languages. In addition, the primary version is also equipped with simple cleaning, laundry, cooking, and other functions. Basically, it can be regarded as a virtuous and housekeeping wife.”

Customer: “What about after-sales?”

Salesperson: “Three years of free full insurance, 10 years of chip insurance, and lifetime free system updates.”

Customer: “Isn’t this silicone skin guaranteed for life?”

Sales: “This cannot be guaranteed for life, because everyone treats it with different degrees of care, and even everyone’s ideological awareness is different. To put it bluntly, some people just want to replace it with a new one after using it for a long time. If they deliberately break it and ask us to replace and repair it for free, then we don’t have to do business. These require a lot of research and development costs, and we have to make some money; otherwise, there will be no funds to continue research and development in the future, and we will not be able to continuously upgrade product functions for customers, and customers will not be able to continuously upgrade their experience.”

Customer: “I heard that you can also customize the appearance and figure of the robot girlfriend?”

Sales: “That’s right! We provide customization services. The figure can be customized at will, as long as you like it. But the appearance must be agreed upon by the person concerned, and if the person concerned dies, the written consent of the guardian or direct relative must be obtained. For example, if a customer’s girlfriend dies, he misses his girlfriend very much for four years and comes to us to customize a robot that looks exactly like his girlfriend. Then the customer needs to bring the girlfriend’s parents to sign some disclaimers and agreements so that we can accept the customization.”

…

The customers asked all the questions they were concerned about. Without any worries, many single men directly placed orders and even bought the top-of-the-line version.

Hai City, Synthetic, Shenzhen, Shu Du…

The Star Motors 4S stores in various cities are crowded, and the orders for robot girlfriends continue to increase. The first day’s big order exceeded 50,000, which is better than the data when many best-selling models were launched.

As a competitor, Max’s Catwoman robot has been on sale for a while, and its cumulative sales in Dragon Country have reached 80,000, and its cumulative global sales are 100,000.

It can be seen that his Catwoman robot is not selling well, mainly because their Catwoman robot’s appearance is too biased towards white people, which does not conform to the aesthetics of Dragon Country people.

Foreign women are generally more humble, and they don’t need betrothal gifts or other complicated things. The cost for ordinary people to find a girlfriend is very low. They don’t need to buy a Catwoman robot, and ordinary people don’t have the money to buy it. Rich people don’t need it because they can change real girlfriends at will, or they can use real servants.

The situation in Dragon Country is very special. Men generally awaken and no longer be simps [people who excessively praise and cater to women in hopes of gaining their favor], and women also feel that they have awakened, which means that robot girlfriends have a large market.

Therefore, the Star Robot Girlfriend, which is more in line with the aesthetics of Dragon Country people, has more thoughtful service, and more comprehensive technology, is destined to sell better.

After receiving the report from the president of the Dragon Country region, Max also analyzed where the problem of poor sales of Catwoman robots lies, that is, the head was not made according to the aesthetics of Dragon Country people.

Older Dragon Country people like dignified and atmospheric faces, and young people like internet celebrity cone faces. It is necessary to stimulate the aesthetics of these consumers to have good sales.

Max immediately ordered the R&D department to collect the facial features of Dragon Country women and develop a Catwoman head that meets the aesthetics of Dragon Country people as quickly as possible.

The best-selling robots quickly aroused opposition from female groups.

Now, even second marriages with sons in some rural areas are not worried about marrying, and they can also ask for very high betrothal gifts.

For example, a child of a relative of the author’s family, he just couldn’t find a wife. Later, his family went to Guangxi to buy one back, but he encountered a professional marriage scam. While his family was asleep, she quietly went out and got on the car of the person who picked her up and ran away.

The family didn’t dare to buy it anywhere else, so they found a divorced woman from their hometown.

Not long after, they found a divorced woman with a newborn daughter, gave a betrothal gift of 200,000 [yuan], plus other normal three golds [gold ring, gold necklace, gold earrings], betrothal gifts, banquets, etc., for a total of more than 300,000 [yuan].

As a result, not long after, this woman chatted with a netizen online, left her child, and ran away. It is said that she has changed two families now, and each family has given birth to a child.

Later, this relative’s family despaired and directly found a divorced woman with an 8-year-old son, gave a betrothal gift of 260,000 [yuan], plus 80,000 yuan [yuan] of gold jewelry, and spent nearly 400,000 [yuan]. The woman’s parents returned two quilts, and they also felt that their daughter’s second marriage was very embarrassing, and they didn’t let her go home to pick her up but picked her up at the hotel.

The reason why they sold everything, spent their life savings, and had to borrow money to do it was to leave a descendant for their son.

Think about it, if there is now a robot that belongs exclusively to him, is absolutely loyal, and can solve the problem of continuing the family line, does he still need to spend so much money to take over a woman with an 8-year-old son?

If he doesn’t take over such a woman, where will this woman who even her parents think is embarrassing go in the future?

Therefore, their opposition to the emergence of girlfriend robots is “understandable.”
