Cabbage, light-duty van.

The once signature product of Coastal Automobile Factory—a reincarnation of the bootleg minivan, Golden Upgrade Otherworld Edition showcasing real skills!

It still maintains the devilishly high cost-to-performance ratio, upgraded to a crazed level of load capacity, along with the usual modding possibilities following Coastal Automobile Factory's reopening.

Also, the cucumber-same Fluid Shaping Steel frame and chassis have undergone new upgraded material stacking.

They even live-streamed real-time collision tests in another workshop onsite, showcasing a variety of car crash simulations beyond standard tests to demonstrate the new car's safety level.

Amidst all the dazzling spectacles, the central air conditioning couldn't keep pace with the crowd's gasping in awe.

Especially after Ji Jue announced the price.

From seventy to one hundred forty thousand!

The price rises depending on the engine, chassis, interior accessories, and the number of seats chosen. But even the most basic version still carries the load capacity and safety guarantees shown onsite. As for the top S100 version, it's already transitioning from being a minivan to a large bread loaf, pushing the limits of a light-duty van, maximizing all performance aspects.

Behind Ji Jue, every number appearing on the big screen made the black-market drivers in the live stream ravenously capture screenshots, exclaiming in shock, even shouting passionately.

It's back, all back!

My beloved minivan...

At this moment, in Cliff City, no, Hai Province, countless veteran drivers were likely holding a beer, stroking the new cucumber they swapped their old car for, moved to tears.

After experiencing the old minivan, losing it, how could one not feel a sense of loss?

Just like the eternal white moonlight in the heart of a poor brother, the vermilion mole difficult to encounter again after missing it, the most familiar childhood sweetheart of every veteran driver, now after years apart, seen again amidst the dim lights, the smile unchanged as before.

How can it not make one's heart flutter?

Look at this crazed load and power, friends, look at the devilish modding space, and this suspension and configuration... Whether it's transporting passengers or cargo, delivering goods or smuggling, it perfectly caters to all needs within urban roads, suburban areas, and up to twenty kilometers outside the city.

It's practically a once-in-a-lifetime minivan miracle!

Even before Ji Jue finished speaking, the recently paid server of Coastal Automobile's website started showing signs of a crash, with contact numbers on every webpage starting to line up.

Meanwhile, the number of viewers in the live stream began to surge wildly...

As Ye Chun checked the data below, he looked up and gestured an OK sign to Ji Jue, signaling to start.

"So, next, let me introduce a new friend to everyone."

In a brief silence, Ji Jue smiled and clapped his hands: "For the convenience of camping and outdoor hiking lovers, geologists, and field workers, and to avoid the predicament of applauding a breakdown and sleeping rough in bad road conditions.

After a lengthy period of development and design, breaking past former limitations and challenges, it has finally officially launched...

Now, let me introduce Coastal Automobile Factory's proud new product, the final answer submitted to long-supportive customers after reopening."

He spread his arms, "Heavy-duty pickup truck—Carrot!!!"

It's unimaginable how someone could shout a vegetable's name with such fervor. Just as everyone looked around in confusion, unable to spot the new car, they saw the panel rising slowly behind Ji Jue.

And in the darkness behind, like a monster, ferocious headlights appeared.

Ruthless and violent light bursts out, accompanied by the roar of the engine, the angular, all-black massive vehicle steps on the accelerator, driving onto the stage under the spotlight.

Massive tires and ground friction make a sharp sound. The giant beast-like body makes Ji Jue, standing in the front, seem so small.

Length 6.4, width 2.7, height 2.86.

No curves or arcs at all, the whole body sharply angular, even making turns so keen that it feels like the view might be cut. The grille, occupying most of the frontal area, looks like a monster's wide-open mouth, gleaming coldly.

Overlooking all, the enormous headlights like giant eyes, bringing unparalleled oppression.

In eerie silence, countless people fell into a stupor, even the live stream comments thinned, screen light reflecting stunned faces.

Countless question marks rose from all around people's heads, bringing confusion and puzzlement:

What the heck... is this thing?!

Bang!

At that moment, in Echo Technology's conference room, an angry table slam occurred.

Shang Tongwen flung an ashtray to the ground, his face ashen.

Pickup truck?! Is this a pickup truck?

You're fooling the idiots!

This is plainly a military armored off-road vehicle, you think I'd fail to recognize you just because you cut off half the roof of the rear compartment and modified it into a cargo bed?!

Plus the size, design, and various parameters from the manual on hand... if not mistaken, the rival is Echo Technology's currently best-selling steed!

At that moment, the live stream image showed crazed parameters from the booklet on the screen behind Ji Jue again, amidst everyone's astonishment and exclamations.

8.0L turbocharged heavy fuel element engine, curb weight 3080KG, 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds, top speed 181 km/h...

Turning away from thrifty days, it's completely an oil guzzler. But even for an oil guzzler, countless eyes shone bright, seemingly glued to it, unable to look away.

Drool involuntarily trickled down.

Can't even imagine how awesome it would be to drive this thing in the wilderness...

Not to mention, uh, buddy, what's with all these interesting-looking ports on your truck bed, roof, and body?

Meanwhile, on stage, Ji Jue kept droning on about its cargo capacity or payload... Seriously, who's even concerned if it can haul now!

Is that the point, man!

Tell us something exciting, I'm begging you!

Let's not talk about the terrifying traction and torque, or its potential to transform into a hundred-ton king of the wilds, and we can even skip the Coastal's fluid shaping steel frame that's become a signature since their reopening.

As for crash tests and such, we've seen enough of that already, just get it over with.

The real highlight is a piece of bulletproof glass slowly descending from the top of the factory, so solid it separates the audience from the stage.

After Ji Jue glanced back, someone naturally pushed a huge box onto the stage with a cart.

"As we all know, the environment outside the city is extremely harsh. At the beginning of the design, our factory's most important design consideration was safety, to prevent drivers from being attacked by wild beasts and various sudden disasters in the wilderness."

"Next, let me demonstrate our Coastal Automobile Factory's new patent—the multi-layer binary protective body."

Click, a slight sound.

Ji Jue pulled out a submachine gun from the box, skillfully released the safety, and then turned around to madly shoot at the radish behind him.

The thunderous noise was endless, with shell casings continuously hitting the ground.

After firing off a magazine, Ji Jue reloaded while changing positions and began shooting again. The shooting stopped only after he fired off hundreds of rounds.

Exclamations in the live chat kept pouring out like a waterfall.

Just as the smoke settled, Ji Jue dropped the empty submachine gun, waved his hand, and someone immediately came up to take the weapon away as the bulletproof glass rose again.

Finally, he gestured to the stunned audience: "Alright, the guests present can now come up for a closer look."

When Ye Chun's plant in the crowd was the first to raise their hand, other curious ones couldn't stop themselves, and the camera zoomed in, scanning over the bullet holes on the car body, the cracked windows, and... the perfectly intact cabin and rear compartment!

An entirely bulletproof vehicle!

Someone curiously leaned toward the bullet holes and peeked inside, seeing the completely deformed bullets and the complex structure beneath the heavy car shell, like layers of mille-feuille, resembling a honeycomb, and some kind of liquid oozing out from inside?

"Based on the integration of fluid shaping steel molding, we've upgraded it further by filling it with just-developed patented liquid material, utilizing multiple layers for cushioning and the properties of non-Newtonian fluids to absorb bullet impact as much as possible and ensure the safety of the cabin."

Ji Jue explained with a smile: "Of course, if you encounter a bomb... then I suggest you drive away quickly. I guarantee that in the engine's overload mode, although maintenance might be a hassle, no one can catch up with you in the wild's complex road conditions."

The entire radish, from the engine frame to the body, all technologies are independently developed by Coastal.

Or to be precise... developed by the Little Mustang!

This is the result of Ji Jue's modifications and reorganization after the natural evolution of the Little Mustang during the previous departure from Spring City, abandoning a large amount of alchemy and dragon blood enhancements, recreated through engineering!

Rather than engineering, it's more like biomimicry.

Under this framework, there's no design more mature than this.

The biggest change was merely the addition of new bulletproof materials derived from fluid alchemy for the entire body, using a fluid shaping steel framework.

Thanks to Little Mustang for generously donating its intellectual property to its owner!

I'll feed you some chicken drumsticks later.

Next, after experiencing hundreds of bullets, the radish was restarted and put on a stunt-driving display outside the factory for everyone on site.

The employee in the driver's seat got out and started vomiting.

Anyway, he just pretended to put his hand on the steering wheel, and the car started showing off by itself!

A barrage of aggressive maneuvers!

Now he finally understood why when he signed up, Yan Gong looked at him with such a complex expression and gaze...

And finally, with everyone eagerly watching in anticipation, Ji Jue slowly spoke standing in front of the big screen:

"The heavy-duty... ahem, pickup truck Radish, will officially be launched next month.

Thanks to the merger and restructuring of Coast Group and social capital, we need not worry about the capacity issue anymore. By next month, the first batch of pre-ordered owners will be able to pick up their vehicles, and we will further expand the related positions and production lines to meet the market demand.

As for the most important price..."

Ji Jue paused, shrugged slightly: "Unfortunately, we can't give back to the community like with previous models. After internal discussion, we've decided to price the Radish's base model at 1.1 million."

As soon as he finished speaking, in the dead silence, no one spoke.

Only pairs of innocent, bewildered eyes looked at Ji Jue from the live stream and on-site.

Unbelievable.
