Chapter 489 - 403: Sending Qi Fei to Hengdian

July was a special month for Wu Yun. It marked exactly one full year since his rebirth.

The past year had brought about earth-shattering changes for Wu Yun. He had gone from a recent high school graduate to a nationally renowned business tycoon—a story so incredible it bordered on unbelievable.

To commemorate the first anniversary of Wu Yun bonding with the system, it had thoughtfully sent him a "First Anniversary Random Gift Pack."

This pleasant surprise naturally delighted Wu Yun. That evening, after "rewarding" Qi Fei and Wen Meng, who was visiting Modu, Wu Yun went into the bathroom.

After washing up, Wu Yun leaned against the edge of the bathtub and gazed out at the dazzling Modu cityscape. ’System,’ he thought, ’open the First Anniversary Random Gift Pack.’

A beautifully wrapped gift box materialized in Wu Yun’s sea of consciousness. Scrawled crudely across it were four large words: Anniversary Random Gift Pack.

CREAK~

The gift box opened, and three balls of light floated out.

"Congratulations, Host, you have received the All Attributes +1 reward."

"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Holographic Projection Technology files!"

"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a 70% Off Yacht Card!"

’Holographic Projection Technology!?’ This was a pleasant surprise. Wu Yun had seen this technology in the system store before, back when he’d purchased the development plans and concepts for the next decade of lithium, hydrogen, and graphene batteries. It was valued at 1 billion Huaxia Coin!

At his current stage, Wu Yun knew he would never have spent that much to acquire it.

Even the development plans for lithium, hydrogen, and graphene batteries had only cost him 40 million Huaxia Coin.

This just went to show how valuable this high-tech was.

Of course, the complete graphene battery technology package was even more expensive than the holographic projection tech; Wu Yun just didn’t have the funds to afford it.

After stashing the USB drive containing the technology and the 70% Off Yacht Card into the system’s inventory, Wu Yun thought, ’System, absorb the attribute point.’

A point of light merged into Wu Yun’s body. He felt a wave of heat wash over him, and the fatigue from their recent "intense battle" was instantly swept away. His muscles felt pumped and full of blood again. Wu Yun felt a surge of energy. ’I’m good to go again!’

A mischievous grin spread across Wu Yun’s face. He stood up from the tub, hit the switch to drain the water, and hastily wiped himself down with a towel. Then, he swaggered out of the bathroom.

"Hey! What are you doing? We were talking!"

"It’s fine! You two go ahead and talk!"

...

「August 1st」 The Modu sun was scorching. Even in the shade, you could feel the oppressive heat in the air.

Wu Yun watched Qi Fei and Wen Meng packing bag after bag, a headache already forming. ’Traveling with women is so much work.’

"Try to pack fewer clothes! You don’t need to bring so much. You’re going to a film set, you won’t get many chances to wear your own stuff!" Wu Yun said, looking at the two suitcases Qi Fei had already filled with all kinds of outfits.

Qi Fei rolled her eyes at him. "So you want me to go without a single change of clothes?"

At this, Wen Meng chimed in from the side, "Exactly! Such a clueless guy. You have no idea what it feels like for a woman to have nothing to wear!"

Wu Yun glanced at the rainbow of colors in the suitcases, speechless. "You call this ’nothing to wear’!?"

Then he noticed the massive pile of shoes set to one side and sighed. "It’s not like you’re heading into the deep wilderness. You’re just going to Hengdian."

He then adopted a goofy tone. "Besides, it’s not like we’re short on cash. If you find you’re missing something, you can just buy it there! Think of it as a chance to enjoy some shopping!"

The two women thought about it and decided he had a point, so they stopped bringing more clothes out of the walk-in closet.

Even so, Qi Fei still ended up with two large suitcases, and Wen Meng had a travel trunk of her own.

"All packed?" Wu Yun asked. "If you forget anything, you can just buy it there or have someone deliver it!"

’If we weren’t taking the private jet, we would’ve been late for sure after all this dawdling!’

"Xiaoyunzi, you seem awfully eager to get rid of us. Do you have some new plans?" Qi Fei pouted, giving him a look that said, *You’ve got another woman, don’t you?*

Wu Yun put on a wronged expression. "Heaven is my witness! I’m flying over with you! You think I’d try to pull something right under your noses?"

Zipping up her suitcase, Wen Meng giggled and said, "Why would that be impossible!? I saw one of the flight attendants on your jet. The way she looked at you... she wanted to eat you alive! What if you can’t resist the temptation and film your own little ’Mile High Club-dot-avi’ with her behind our backs~"

Hearing Wen Meng’s long, teasing, and slightly seductive tone, Wu Yun replied firmly, "Impossible. Absolutely impossible! The flight from Modu to Yiwu isn’t nearly long enough for that!"

The two women immediately covered their mouths and burst out laughing.

"So you *have* thought about it~ See if I don’t chop it off!"

...

The production team for *The Immortal Ascension* had actually started filming at the end of July. But since Qi Fei’s scenes were scheduled for later, it wasn’t a problem for her to arrive a few days late. Besides, even if she were tardy, few would dare to say a word.

When they arrived at Hengdian, Wu Yun visited the set in his capacity as an investor. He generously had Luckin Coffee deliver two hundred cups of coffee, making sure there was enough for everyone, including the extras.

So, when Wu Yun appeared on set, he was met with a warm welcome. After all, a wealthy investor was the foundation for a stable and orderly production. Plus, with the recent, endless stream of news about him, anyone who was paying attention couldn’t have missed seeing his name everywhere.
