"GT3RS? The Porsche one?" Qin Su replied.
"Yeah, from the 911 series."
"Alright, that car works."
"Oh, and preferably a manual transmission," Su Yang emphasized.
"You want a manual?"
"Yep, can you find one?"
"Should be possible. I'll contact my friend and ask later."
"Okay, that's the car I want. Do you know what He Peng drives?"
Qin Su replied, "I don't know yet. I'll ask him later and let you know."
"Alright."
"Can I ask what time you plan to come tomorrow? Not rushing you—I was thinking of booking your ticket."
Su Yang chuckled. "No need, I'll book it myself. I'll probably fly over around noon tomorrow."
"Tomorrow noon, right? Don't refuse—let me book it for you. I feel bad for putting you through all this trouble."
"Really, it's fine."
"Oh, just let me do it."
Su Yang relented. "Fine, fine."
"[Happy emoji] Then send me your ID info and phone number. I'll book it soon and let you know when it's done."
"Okay." Su Yang sent his ID info and phone number to Qin Su.
"Got it. I'll go book the ticket and ask about the car."
"Alright."
Logging off the chat, Su Yang returned to the living room and chatted with his parents for over an hour.
He hadn't planned to leave today, but since he was heading to Shanghai tomorrow, he needed to go back to his own place.
At 10:30 PM, Su Yang transferred 300,000 yuan to each of his parents, Su Dagang and Chen Liping, as travel funds, then said goodbye and left.
Twenty minutes later, Su Yang arrived home.
Every time he walked through the gate and saw the supercars parked in his yard, his mood instantly lifted.
He had too many cars to drive them all regularly, so he had set up battery maintainers for each of his prized vehicles.
In simple terms, this device was an external power supply for car batteries—plug it into an outlet, and it would keep the battery charged, always maintaining a full charge.
Of course, it didn't charge continuously. Once the battery was full, it would automatically cut off, and when the charge dropped below eighty percent, it would recharge. This cycle repeated.
Anyone who drives knows: cars aren't ruined by driving but by sitting idle.
Su Yang now had many cars, and since he was constantly traveling, it was hard to take care of every single one.
If a car sits too long, its battery drains until it's completely dead. Repeated cycles like that can damage the battery and even harm the electrical system.
So Su Yang had installed maintainers for all his cars, keeping them charged no matter how long he was away, ensuring they'd start right up when he needed them.
After admiring the lineup of supercars for a minute, Su Yang pulled open the door and walked inside. The entryway lights turned on automatically, giving the homecoming a ceremonial feel.
No sooner had he sat down on the sofa than his phone buzzed with a text message.
Su Yang pulled it out to check—it was flight info. Qin Su had already booked the ticket for him.
The flight was set to depart from Haicheng International Airport at 11:10 AM the next day.
As soon as the text arrived, a WeChat message followed.
Qin Su: "Su Yang, I've booked your ticket—tomorrow at 11:10 AM. I wanted to book first class, but that plane doesn't have it, so I booked business class instead. Is that okay?"
"That's fine. Economy would've been fine too. I'm in no position to be picky when you're doing me a favor. As long as it gets me to Shanghai."
"Great. Oh, and I've also asked about the car."
"Already? You work fast."
"Of course. I found a brand-new manual GT3RS at my friend's place, just as you requested."
"Awesome, thanks a lot."
"I should be the one thanking you."
"Haha, no worries. This isn't really a big deal for me—I do some racing myself."
"Regardless, you're still helping me out. I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow."
"You're coming to pick me up yourself?"
"Absolutely. If you're asking for someone's help, you've got to show sincerity and take action."
"Haha, alright, then I'll trouble you."
"Don't mention it. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Nothing needed for now." Su Yang typed back.
"Okay, then see you tomorrow. Get some rest early."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Logging off the chat, Su Yang picked up his suitcase and headed upstairs.
After taking a shower in his room, he packed a few more clothes. This time in Shanghai, he planned to stay several days.
Once he handled Qin Su's matter, he intended to buy a small apartment in Shanghai.
Then he would start a new mission, leaving directly from Shanghai.
At that thought, Su Yang recalled the mission requirements in his mind; he needed to bring two male friends along.
—System?
[Here, Host. Please speak.]
—About that mission, do I have to bring two male friends? Can I skip it? I was thinking that if I bring two people, we'll probably end up splitting up anyway. Why not just go alone? I'd be freer to do whatever I want. What do you think?
[That's acceptable.]
—Really? That easygoing?
[Yes, as long as it's not a major change.]
—Alright, and the reward stays the same?
[The reward is unchanged.]
—Good, then I'll go alone—solo operation.
[Understood.]
Exiting his chat with the system, Su Yang thought of another issue: how to bring this up with Pan Ning now.
Speak of the devil, Pan Ning's call came right then.
Su Yang answered with a smile. "Hey, Pan Pan."
"What are you doing?"
"Just got home. Packing some clothes now."
"Packing clothes?"
"Yeah, I'm heading to Shanghai tomorrow."
"Seeing Mengli?" Pan Ning blurted out.
"Seeing Mengli? No. I met someone in Shanghai before who saw my racing skills and wanted me to race against a pro racer. I agreed at the time, so I'm going tomorrow."
"Oh, I remember you mentioning that."
"Right. So, are you calling this late because you want to come over?"
Pan Ning rolled her eyes on the other end. "Come over for what? I'm calling because I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I'm going on a trip too. My mom and I are heading to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."
"Going to Hong Kong?"
"Yeah, the daughter of an old friend of my mom's is getting married. This aunt has always been good to me, and our families are close, so I have to go. Then I'll stay in Hong Kong with my mom for a few days."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, just wanted to let you know."
"Alright. I also have something to tell you."
"Go ahead."
"After I finish my business in Shanghai, I might fly to Europe."
"Europe? For fun? Or for something?"
"Kind of something. An old friend [the system] asked me to come over."
"A guy?"
"A guy."
"Are you going alone?"
"Yeah."
“Go ahead, then. But whatever you do, stay safe.” Pan Ning didn’t ask any further questions.
Hearing those familiar words, Su Yang chuckled. “My dad said the same thing to me earlier.”
“As long as you don’t get into trouble, I won’t pry into whatever else you do.”
“I’m really just catching up with some old friends, then I’ll make a quick trip around Europe and come back. Shouldn’t take more than a week—maybe five or six days.”
[Ding, forgot to mention to the host: this quest requires staying in Europe for a full seven days to be considered successful.]
—What the hell...
“Uh... make that a week tops.”
“Fine, I’m not limiting how long you stay. I’ll probably be in Hong Kong for about seven or eight days myself.”
“Alright, so it looks like we won’t see each other for a while.”
“So, are you going to miss me?” Pan Ning asked.
“Definitely. I’ll be thinking about you every day~”
“Me too. Okay, I won’t keep jabbering. That’s it. Bye.”
The call ended, and Su Yang let out a soft sigh.
He really didn’t want to lie to Pan Ning, but there was no way he could tell her about the system. No matter who it was—parents, girlfriend, hell, even the literal devil himself—he would never reveal that. So there was no choice but to go along with it.
At least now he’d checked in with Pan Ning, with no other loose ends. Once the Shanghai business was settled, he could leave right away.
—System? Are you kidding me? Why didn’t you clarify the seven-day requirement when you issued the quest?
[Sorry, oversight.]
—Over...
Su Yang clutched his head. This system was flaky at times.
—You’d better double-check if there’s anything else you missed.
[None.]
—Fine. Then let me confirm: the timer starts the moment I land in any European country, right?
[Correct. Which country is up to the host, as long as it’s in Europe.]
—Got it. So just staying seven full days is fine? No issues if I stay longer?
[As long as it doesn’t exceed the quest’s forty-five-day limit.]
—Okay.
......
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
