After returning to age eighteen, Lin Bei misses the Gaokao, the exam that could have changed his life.

He also doesn't want to work in a factory, becoming a tool who does nothing but tighten screws.

So he leaves home and heads to the mountain city to drive a taxi.

Taxi fares in the city are high, but compared with the veteran drivers, who are all professional “flying” racers, he has no advantage at all. He's also likely to run into all kinds of eccentric passengers.

Fortunately, the System arrives, rewarding him with a mecha supercar from the start.

If he can't win on skill, he'll just have to use a cheat.

Just then, a pregnant woman goes into labor and needs to be taken to the hospital.

In the emergency, Lin Bei has no choice but to take a shortcut in his mecha supercar, accidentally driving onto the track of a national professional racers' friendship race.

And so, footage of a taxi crushing a field of professional racers is broadcast live across the country!

At first, viewers think the organizers hired an actor to drum up publicity!

But when the taxi goes faster than the supercars, and then even takes to the skies, the whole internet is stunned!

“You were supposed to drive a taxi, so why are you driving a flying mecha?”

In an instant, Lin Bei becomes famous worldwide and a coveted talent in the eyes of every major power!

Qingbei University: “This is the genius we've been looking for all along!”

Tejila: “I'll pay ten million to buy the flying-car patent!”

But the Dragon Academy of Sciences, which has already made Lin Bei an academician, says they've been thinking too small. They need to raise their sights!
