A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 117: Initial D

As for Xie Lili, she had truly become much more level-headed.

She was now immune to any temptation, focused only on seizing opportunities to make good money and build a career for herself.

She didn’t want to become some male Beastman’s sexual partner, nor did she want to marry a male Half-beastman only to have cubs and repeat a life of poverty.

That was why all the flashy, frivolous things no longer caught her eye.

Jiang Qin had always known that a clear food chain existed in Interstellar society.

It was a situation that couldn’t be changed by a single person, or even a small group of people.

The group’s enthusiasm waned, so they left without looking much further. Besides, she hadn’t planned on buying anything anyway.

After a quick look at the jewelry, they headed up to the fourth floor.

Unlike the shops below, this floor had a much more high-tech feel.

As they entered, a female Half-beastman approached and asked politely, "Welcome, valued guests. Miss, would you like me to introduce our products?"

Since Jiang Qin, who looked like a female Beastman, appeared to be the leader of the group, the saleswoman addressed her directly.

Jiang Qin glanced around at the vast area. ’It’s huge in here,’ she thought. ’If we look at everything individually, we could be here all night.’

So she replied, "I’d like to see your medical equipment."

"Of course, Miss. Please follow me."

The saleswoman led them past several sections, finally stopping in an area displaying many models of Medical Pods.

She began her introduction. "Miss, please take a look. These are all our latest models of Healing Pods.

Over there, we also have portable medical kits and robots with advanced medical knowledge. What sort of product are you looking for?"

"What are the portable medical kits like?"

The saleswoman led them over to the display.

On a pure white pedestal, an assortment of small, mechanical wristwatches was displayed.

The saleswoman picked one up to demonstrate.

"As you can see, Miss, there are two buttons. You just press the green one, and it will emit a blue scanning light.

Then, you scan the patient’s entire body, and it will provide a diagnosis and recommend appropriate medication."

"It also incorporates a Space Button design, so you can store various medicines inside it.

Based on the diagnosis, it will intelligently prompt you to retrieve the necessary medication."

"The red button activates a control panel, which allows you to manually select and retrieve medicine without a scan."

Having lived three lives but still feeling like a country bumpkin at heart, Jiang Qin was absolutely stunned.

’How is this any different from carrying a doctor around with you?’

However, the saleswoman added a disclaimer: "It can’t provide solutions for more complex and difficult-to-diagnose illnesses.

It can only treat common illnesses and injuries, as well as perform emergency first aid."

She then showed them the button for emergency medical transport.

The price for this portable medical device was also quite stunning—since it was the latest model, it cost 1.7 million.

Other models, even the most basic ones, started at over a hundred thousand Star Coins.

Still, the price was understandable. After all, Space Buttons weren’t cheap, and this medical watch included a small storage space.

It was like buying a personal doctor that came with its own medicine cabinet.

In the end, Jiang Qin bought the portable medical kit.

The item was a limited-release product. The latest model was currently only available in the Empire; it hadn’t gone on sale in the Federation yet.

After finishing up on the fourth floor, Jiang Qin felt like her horizons had been truly broadened.

’No wonder modern Interstellar People rely on machines and the network for everything, neglecting all else.’

’With so many convenient machines, who wouldn’t want to just kick back and do nothing?’

This was especially true for people with few material desires.

The fifth floor was a marketplace for parts.

The sixth floor mostly sold ores and other raw materials.

The seventh floor was for Flying Cars...

...

The shopping center didn’t sell Mechas. She’d heard that you needed to apply for a special permit to buy one; ordinary people couldn’t purchase them, even if they had the money.

Even Flying Cars had restrictions.

Federation citizens could only purchase models up to the T500; the T600 was off-limits.

Remembering she didn’t have a Flying Car yet, Jiang Qin decided to buy two pure-black T500 models.

This model came with an autopilot mode, so it didn’t matter if you were a bad driver.

She gave one to Shi Lichuan and told him to assign someone to drive it.

Since she didn’t have a license yet, she couldn’t drive it herself, so she had to entrust it to someone who did.

However, she wasn’t fond of her personal belongings being used for communal purposes.

That’s why she bought an extra one to serve as a communal vehicle.

The result was that her balance dropped by another 6 million Star Coins.

The speed at which her funds were dwindling was enough to give her a heart attack. Since the upper floors weren’t open to Federation people anyway, she decided to call it a day and head back.

***

For the next two days, Jiang Qin made time each day to go out and wander around the city.

In her spare time, she rented a studio and produced her anime adaptation of *Initial D*.

She managed to upload it to the short video platform associated with the Flying Car racing event the night before the race began.

For this event, the network barrier between the Empire and the Federation was temporarily lifted, but this platform was still the only area accessible to Federation people.

To capitalize on the hype surrounding this major event and ensure people from both sides could see her anime, Jiang Qin chose to release it directly as a video.

It was similar to how one might upload to a video-sharing site.

The first season of *Initial D* had a total of 26 episodes. She planned to upload five on the first day, followed by three episodes each subsequent day.

Once the Flying Car races were over, she would take down all the videos and bring the project back to the Federation.

So that night, as netizens were browsing through content hyping up the upcoming Flying Car races, they suddenly stumbled upon a particular video.

A rainy night. On a dark road, a vintage car was speeding along.

The camera cut to a pair of well-defined hands pushing a gearshift. Next to it sat a cup of water.

The surface of the water rippled, but not a single drop spilled.

The main character on screen remained calm and composed as he executed a series of maneuvers.

The view switched back to the road, this time a wide shot.

As it approached a sharp turn, the vintage car drifted through it at a smooth yet incredibly tight angle.

Paired with the sound effect of a roaring engine...

For some reason, they felt a surge of excitement.

’I don’t really get what’s happening, but it looks pretty cool...’

And so, many Flying Car enthusiasts were captivated by the opening. Only then did they realize it was a newly uploaded anime series!

The credits for producer, screenwriter, and director all listed a single name: Jiang Qin.

Production Company: None?

It looked like an indie production, which made viewers a bit wary.

But the opening was so well-made that many were willing to keep watching. If it turned out to be bad, they’d just consider themselves poison testers for the community.

Owen was one of those willing to be a poison tester.

Mainly, it was because the opening had genuinely captivated him.

The opening theme was sung in a rare language that Owen didn’t understand, but he thought the melody was pretty good.

The character models were also well-done, with a classic, vintage feel.

This raised his expectations for the anime quite a bit.

After all, he was a vintage car enthusiast himself!
