Hearing this, Xuanxuan circled Lu Yun while rubbing her nose.
"No way! You're not lying to me, are you?"
"He really is a high school classmate!" Lu Yun replied earnestly.
"Damn, Yunyun, since when did you have such a wealthy high school classmate? How come I never knew about this?!"
Xuanxuan's face was full of curiosity as she continued, "And you had dinner with him, and he even drove you back himself? You..."
It was only then that she noticed the various shopping bags in Lu Yun's hands.
Her eyes widened as she gasped, "Don’t tell me he bought all these for you?"
"Well... yeah." Lu Yun wasn’t one to lie—these things were indeed bought by Su Yang, so she admitted it openly.
"Holy crap!!" Xuanxuan bent down to inspect the bags in Lu Yun’s hands.
"Dior! Valentino!! Van Cleef & Arpels?!"
"Damn!! You... I..." Seeing these luxury brands left Xuanxuan momentarily speechless.
Lu Yun didn’t feel like explaining further and quickly changed the subject. "Ugh, stop being so nosy! I need to use the bathroom—let’s go already!"
With that, she hurried ahead into the residential complex.
It wasn’t until Lu Yun had already entered the building that Xuanxuan snapped out of her shock. She sprinted after her, shouting, "Xiao Lu!! You traitor, wait for me!! You’d better spill everything about this high school classmate of yours when we get back!"
......
Naturally, Su Yang was unaware of this conversation. He hummed a tune as he drove through the bustling streets of Haicheng at night.
[Ding! Detected host’s cheerful mood—reward: 800,000 yuan.]
—Hey System, I noticed you haven’t given me any gifts in a while. How about some watches or cars?
—Lately, I’ve been eyeing the Lamborghini Veneno, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, and oh—the McLaren W1, the successor to the P1. Heh.
—Think about it, if I were to buy these myself, I’d have to wait forever, and there’s no guarantee I’d even get one. Why not just gift them to me and save me the trouble? Right?
Su Yang rambled on to himself, but the system remained silent.
He chuckled nonchalantly. "Hah, guess I’m not working hard enough yet. Gotta enjoy life even more and excel at my ‘job’ to earn better rewards from you."
System: ......
It had seen shameless people before, but never one this shameless.
As he passed by a large spa center, Su Yang tilted his head to take a look.
On a whim, he turned the steering wheel and pulled into the parking lot.
The spa’s flashy sign had caught his eye, and the exterior looked upscale and elegant.
"Time to indulge. Back then, I couldn’t afford places like this—now’s my chance to experience it. It’s still early anyway, might as well get a massage."
With that, he parked his car and stepped out.
The lot was filled with impressive rides—a BMW 7 Series, a Jaguar XJ, and even a white Audi R8.
But the most eye-catching was undoubtedly a domineering Cadillac Escalade.
Su Yang got out of his car and grinned. "Seems like a high-end spot. No surprise—Cadillacs and spas go hand in hand."
Without another glance, he walked in with a smile.
Two hours later, Su Yang emerged, thoroughly satisfied after enjoying a full range of services—massage, foot therapy, ear cleaning, and more.
[Ding! Detected host’s post-massage bliss—reward: 800,000 yuan.]
Stretching his neck, Su Yang got back into his car and drove off.
By the time he got home, it was nearly midnight. After a quick shower, he went straight to bed.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning at ten, Su Yang stretched and sat up.
"Ugh, it’s been ages since my last massage—my whole body aches. That girl had some serious strength."
After freshening up, he headed to the kitchen and fried himself an egg and a steak, then brewed a cup of coffee.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the living room.
Su Yang enjoyed his breakfast in high spirits before opening Taobao on his phone.
"Pan Ning mentioned going camping later—might as well get some gear."
In no time, he spent over 30,000 yuan on Taobao and JD, purchasing a professional camping tent, a sleeping bag, an outdoor lamp, a set of camping utensils, and two pairs of hiking boots.
"Alright, that should cover it. As a beginner, this equipment should be enough."
[Ding! Detected host embracing new experiences on the path of enjoyment—reward: 1,000,000 yuan.]
Su Yang leaned back with a contented smile. "Can’t even spend it all—there’s just too much!"
Time flew by, and soon it was 3 PM.
Su Yang was lounging on the sofa, scrolling through dance videos, when a WeChat notification popped up.
It was a message from Pan Ning.
"When are we heading over?"
"Whenever. Where are you now?"
"Home."
"Got it. How about 4? No point going too early—we’d just be sitting around."
"Sure."
Their exchange was brief and to the point.
Soon, the group chat lit up with more messages.
Liu Bo: Hey guys, when are we setting off?
Meng Wenzhou: Let’s go early. Oh, and by the way, there’ll be some other friends joining later.
Zhang Ziming: Sounds good! The more, the merrier—always nice to meet new people.
Meng Wenzhou: You guys come over soon. I’ll head there first to get things ready.
Su Yang: Don’t forget your Iori Yagami cosplay outfit!
Meng Wenzhou: [Angry emoji] I’m starting to regret this now.
Su Yang: Too late, my friend.
Meng Wenzhou: Fine, a bet’s a bet. I’ll wear it—what’s there to be scared of?
Su Yang: Respect.
As the group chatted, Meng Qianyu, who had been silent until now, finally sent her first message.
Meng Qianyu: Hi everyone, I’m Meng Qianyu—you can call me Qianyu. I just returned from abroad and really appreciate you all coming to the party later. I’m sure my brother has already told you about me. Looking forward to meeting you all~
Liu Bo: No need to be so formal, Qianyu! Can’t wait to meet you too [Smiley face]
Su Yang smirked at his phone. "I’m kinda looking forward to it myself."
......
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
