Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

When Jiang Tao, Xu Li, and their parents came downstairs after breakfast, Jia Guilin was already waiting by the car.

"Good morning, boss."

When Jia Guilin saw Jiang Tao, he greeted him respectfully.

Although he hadn't been with Jiang Tao for long, Jia Guilin respected his boss from the bottom of his heart.

Since meeting Jiang Tao, both he and his wife have experienced a dramatic change in their lives.

The couple's current monthly income is equivalent to several months' worth of income in the past!

The two were extremely loyal to Jiang Tao.

"Good morning, Lao Jia. Come with me to the warehouse near Huilongguan Market to unload that treadmill from the car."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he walked to the back door of the car, opened it, and got in.

"Good boss."

Jia Guilin agreed and got into the car, starting it and driving towards the Huilongguan Market.

After about twenty minutes, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class stopped at the entrance of a warehouse.

After opening the warehouse door with the key Jiang Jiaqi had given him the day before, Jia Guilin then opened the trunk.

Jiang Tao walked to the trunk, reached in, and easily lifted the treadmill out.

He is now over 170cm tall and has strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. Moving a treadmill is as easy for him as breathing.

Watching Jiang Tao effortlessly lift such a heavy treadmill off the truck, Jia Guilin felt nothing but admiration.

Having worked alongside Jiang Tao for a long time, Jia Guilin's admiration for his boss grew stronger.

Besides having many women around him, all of whom are stunning beauties, his boss is also a skilled martial artist.

Jiang Tao told Lao Jia to go back to the car and wait for him, while he carried the treadmill into the warehouse by himself.

bang~
The warehouse door closed, and Jiang Tao carried the treadmill further inside, arriving at the southwest corner of the warehouse.

This location is the furthest from the main entrance, so the probability of being spied on is the lowest.

He trusted Lao Jia quite a bit, and knew that Lao Jia was a very discreet person; he wasn't curious at all about things he shouldn't know.

Jiang Tao first put the treadmill he was carrying on the ground.

Then, on a whim, another one appeared on the floor.

The one in the back is the one that was originally kept at home.

After carrying it out the door, seeing that no one was around, he simply put it into his system space with a thought.

The two treadmills stood quietly, creating a stark contrast.

Jiang Tao stood between the two treadmills, his eyes filled with anticipation.

What attributes will result from merging two treadmills that have been identified as special items by the system?

He had no way of knowing this.

Everything will be revealed once the fusion is complete.

"The combined two units will definitely be stronger than the single unit; at least that much is certain."

"Just do it!"

Jiang Tao took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, he began to concentrate, communicating with the mysterious system interface in his mind.

Below the "Body Strengthening Treadmill" option, a new "Fusion" option has indeed appeared.

"Select a fusion target..."

Jiang Tao's mind was focused on the treadmill he had just brought back from Ping County.

"Merger confirmed!"

The moment the command was given, a sudden change occurred!

There was no earth-shattering noise, nor any dazzling explosion of light.

The ordinary home treadmill seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and began to vibrate slightly, emitting a low hum.

Immediately afterward, to Jiang Tao's astonishment, its massive body began to gradually become blurry and transparent, eventually transforming into countless fine, stardust-like silver specks of light. As if summoned by some powerful gravitational force, they rapidly surged toward the ancient-looking [Body Strengthening Treadmill]!
These silver specks, like rivers flowing into the sea, quickly disappeared into the body of the [Body Strengthening Treadmill].

On the surface of the treadmill, the dull metallic patterns seemed to come alive, beginning to flow with a barely perceptible hazy luster.

The fuselage vibrated slightly, and there seemed to be extremely subtle yet rhythmic sounds of components being reassembled and strengthened inside.

It's like the internal components of a precision instrument undergoing a revolutionary upgrade.

The whole process lasted about three minutes.

After the last silver speck of light was completely absorbed, the warehouse returned to silence.

The appearance of the [Body Strengthening Treadmill] doesn't seem to have changed drastically; it still has that stable and sturdy look.

But upon closer inspection, you'll find that its metallic texture is more understated and profound, and the lines seem to be a bit smoother.

The overall impression is that it has undergone a complete transformation and refinement, losing some of its rustic charm and gaining an indescribable precision and power.

At the same time, the system interface, visible only to Jiang Tao, unfolded before him, displaying entirely new attribute information—

[Name]: Fitness Treadmill Plus
[Attributes]: Constitution +1, Cardiopulmonary Ability +1
【注1】：使用者每次跑步45分钟以上，有2%几率获得体质+1的奖励，1%几率获得心肺能力提升奖励。

[Note 2]: Users can receive a maximum of 50 points of physical fitness and 30 points of mental lung capacity.

[Note 3]: There is no upper limit for the host himself.

I saw the new attribute panel for the [Body Strengthening Treadmill].

Especially the prominent "Plus" suffix and the detailed annotations that follow.

Jiang Tao's eyes lit up instantly, and an overwhelming joy welled up in his heart!

"Wow! It's upgraded directly to the Plus version!"

Furthermore, the upgraded plus version has significantly improved attributes compared to the previous version.

Originally, it only gave +1 to Constitution, but now it has an additional +1 to Cardiopulmonary Ability!
This means that not only muscles and endurance, but also heart function, blood circulation, and the respiratory system can receive basic strengthening.

This is of even greater significance for overall health!

Furthermore, improved cardiopulmonary function has a significant advantage in running!
"Let Jiao Jingtong run on this treadmill more often in the future; it will definitely improve her a lot!"

"Although the chance of triggering the reward is very small, if you stretch the timeline and persevere, you can achieve your goal."

"She will definitely shine in long-distance running in the future!"

“It would be a great achievement to train a top female marathon runner in China in the future.”

Upon seeing the two upgraded attributes of the [Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus], the first person that came to Jiang Tao's mind was Jiao Jingtong, whom he had poached from Ping County. He had recognized Jiao Jingtong's talent for long-distance running through the [Talent Scout] skill, and had also triggered the special [Recruiting Talented Individuals] quest.

Therefore, he naturally did not hesitate to recruit Jiao Jingtong into his team and arranged for her to work at Jiang's Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Jiao Jingtong has been with the company for about a month now.

Thanks to Shan Yang's top-notch new media operations, her number of followers on Kuaishou and Douyin has now exceeded 10 from the initial few thousand!
Of course, Shan Yang's operational capabilities are one aspect, but Jiao Jingtong's own strength is also of paramount importance.

Her striking good looks, which are quite impressive for a running enthusiast, her long legs, and her figure are all pluses.

By fully immersing herself in running and no longer having to focus on other work, Jiao Jingtong's running performance has improved to some extent.

Before joining the company, her personal best time in the full marathon was 2 hours and 43 minutes.

It's now stable at under 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Although it was only an improvement of 3 minutes, in the sport of marathon, this is a considerable improvement.

This was even after she had been training on her own according to the schedule prescribed by a professional running coach.

If you combine it with the [Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus] that Jiang Tao just successfully integrated.

Her running performance can definitely improve even further!

In addition to adding the extra attribute of "cardiopulmonary function", this fusion has also added other features.

While the probability of triggering rewards during exercise remains unchanged, the reward cap has been significantly increased!
The maximum physical fitness reward for ordinary users has been increased from 30 points to 50 points!
This is a qualitative leap!
What does 50 points of physical fitness mean?
It is enough to transform an ordinary person who is powerless into a strong individual who is close to the limits of human strength!

Whether it's strength, speed, endurance, disease resistance, or recovery ability, they will far surpass ordinary people!

"This fusion was incredibly effective!"

Jiang Tao reached out and touched the brand-new [Strengthening and Fitness Treadmill Plus], a smile of excitement spreading across his face.

This is not just an improvement in treadmill performance, but also means that it can create a more powerful "super soldier".

Or rather, it's a magical tool that can give those close to you a more solid foundation for health!
"Although the chance of an ordinary person getting the reward is only 2%, it is still very necessary to get the full 50 points of physique reward."

"The benefits of increasing your physique by 50 points are numerous."

Just as Jiang Tao was immersed in the joy of the upgrade, the azure blue system interface in front of him rippled again.

A brand new, clearly suggestive message popped up, its text gleaming enticingly:
[Notification]: The [Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus] has been detected as unlocked.

The host can spend 1000 million RMB to permanently unlock the system shop purchase permission for this item.

After activation, you can purchase unlimited "Strengthening and Fitness Treadmill Plus" in the store. The price of a single unit is 30,000 RMB.

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Tao was first stunned, then a flash of inspiration struck him.

Previously seemingly scattered clues were suddenly connected, and everything became clear!
"Activate purchase privileges? I see!"

Jiang Tao suddenly remembered the information about prime locations marked "suitable for opening a gym" that the system refreshed today!

And the system's intelligence report mentioned that He Jing is "suitable for the fitness industry"!

The emotional system was already planned out; it was waiting for me here!
"This treadmill has such amazing stats, and you can even unlock purchase privileges for it—it's unbeatable!"

Activating the system's online store requires 1000 million yuan, an astronomical figure for ordinary people. However, for Jiang Tao, who earns a fortune every day and has tens of millions of yuan flowing through his coffers, it is still a considerable expense, but it is entirely within his means.

The key point is that after activation, he can buy an unlimited number of units! And the price of a single unit is only 3 yuan!

For just 3 yuan, you can buy a magical treadmill with basic attributes of +1 to Constitution and +1 to Cardiopulmonary Ability, and a chance to permanently increase the user's Constitution (up to 50 points) and Cardiopulmonary Ability (up to 30 points)?!
This price-performance ratio is ridiculously high!

In the future, this will definitely be a game-changer that could revolutionize the entire fitness industry!
Even the more high-end commercial treadmills cost tens of thousands of yuan.

However, aside from offering running features and some fancy data displays, they provide minimal fundamental improvement to the user's physical fitness.

The [Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus] truly strengthens users from the very foundation of life!
This is no longer just a simple fitness machine; it's a machine that creates the path to becoming a "superman"!

The 1000 million yuan activation fee was absolutely worth it!
This is not just about buying a license; it's about investing in a super industry with unlimited potential!

On a larger scale, this is a matter of great significance to all of humanity!

With that thought in mind, Jiang Tao no longer hesitated.

"Confirmed expenditure of 1000 million, activation of the [Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus] system shop purchase privileges!"

As soon as he confirmed his intention, his phone received a notification from the bank almost simultaneously that a large sum of money had been transferred.

At the same time, the previously grayed-out icon representing the "Body Strengthening Treadmill Plus" on the system interface was instantly lit up.

The price is clearly marked below: ¥30,000.

Furthermore, the purchase quantity option displays an infinity symbol (∞)!
Become!

Looking at the lit-up icon and the unlimited purchase sign, Jiang Tao felt a surge of pride.

Another significant piece has been added to his business empire.

He Jing will thus have a broad stage where she can fully realize her potential.

"The existence of this incredible fitness treadmill plus may not be immediately apparent."

"After all, the probability of it triggering the reward is only 2% and 1%, which is quite low."

"But if we extend the timeline to 10 years, 20 years, 30 years..."

"In short, this is definitely a great thing that will benefit all mankind."

"At only 3 yuan a unit, it's quite a bargain."

My gaze returned to the brand-new [Strengthening and Fitness Treadmill Plus].

Jiang Tao reached into his pocket, took out his phone, found Jiang Jiaqi's number, and dialed it.

beep-

The call was answered in less than 10 seconds, and Jiang Jiaqi's sweet voice came from the other end.

"Hey Uncle Tao, is there anything I can help you with?"

“Jiaqi, when I went to Huilongguan Building yesterday, I saw that they were renting out the second floor.”

"Go contact the property management and help me rent it."

Jiang Tao didn't waste any words with Jiang Jiaqi and directly stated his purpose.

One advantage of being a boss is that you can simply have your subordinates do what you want without having to put in the effort yourself.

"Okay, Uncle Tao! I guarantee I'll complete the task! I'll call the property management right away."

Jiang Jiaqi didn't ask why they needed to rent two floors; she just did whatever Uncle Tao told her to do.

"If you have any questions, just call me directly."

After giving Jiang Jiaqi one last instruction, Jiang Tao casually hung up the phone. (End of Chapter)
