That being said...
In today's society, the beauty standard doesn't seem to favor overly muscular men.
So refined "pretty boys" like Liu Chen'ang still have quite the market.
Case in point—after getting in the car, Zhou Jialu habitually scrolled through her phone and saw a WeChat group discussing whether Su Bai or Liu Chen'ang was more attractive.
"Look, junior, you've even made it into the Finance School's group chats," Zhou Jialu showed Su Bai her phone.
"Wait, how do you still have time to browse your phone? Weren’t you the one who was even more excited than me earlier, saying you couldn’t wait to experience the passenger seat of a Panamera?" Su Bai teased.
"Ah, well, now that I’m actually sitting here, it’s not that big of a deal. Hehe, it’s just that you’ve been spoiling me with too many surprises lately, junior."
Zhou Jialu wore a delighted expression, making Su Bai unable to resist pinching her cheek.
In response, Zhou Jialu would obediently nibble on Su Bai’s fingertips or flick her tongue lightly against the back of his hand.
Every little gesture was irresistibly seductive.
Still, the discussion in that group was pretty amusing.
Both Su Bai and Liu Chen'ang were freshmen in the Computer Science department, while that group happened to be for Finance majors, who were complaining about not having any joint events with the Computer Science students.
"Pfft, not long ago, they were saying guys in STEM are too dull and lack romance," Zhou Jialu scoffed. "Let’s be real—it’s all about looks."
"Oh? Then what do you look at, senior?" Su Bai smirked, slanting a glance at her.
"Hmm… Well, obviously, I admire how my junior is 'talented and loaded'—and also how handsome he is~"
Zhou Jialu answered with complete sincerity.
"This car is brand new, but I’m sure other girls will ride in it eventually. So… I want to be the first girl you mess around with in here."
After forcing out those words, Zhou Jialu immediately flushed crimson, her face practically dripping with shyness.
Deep down, she was quite traditional and innocent.
Even so, she couldn’t help wanting to stake her claim first.
Girls cared a lot about symbolic things—various "firsts" and "onlys."
This was also the foundation of how Su Bai managed his relationships with the girls around him. Each had different priorities, but he made sure to fulfill their desires accordingly.
Su Bai actually agreed with Zhou Jialu’s suggestion.
But he deliberately kept a straight face and said coolly, "Senior, you’re being pretty domineering. How come the 'first time' in this car automatically goes to you? Didn’t even consult the other girls."
"Hey, it’s just good timing! Look, the weather’s perfect, the car’s a dream to drive—how can you even resist?"
True enough.
There was no denying that a fully loaded Panamera with all the sport packages delivered an exceptional driving experience.
Luxury brands really did have their unique appeal.
Of course, that was assuming cost wasn’t a concern…
If price was a factor, then domestic electric vehicles these days were seriously impressive.
"Wait, now that I think about it, isn’t car manufacturing crazy expensive? What if I started a company to build cars—"
"Uh, hello? It’s way too late to enter the market now! Stop changing the subject, junior!" Zhou Jialu grew impatient, pouting like a feisty little fox. "Just say yes! Please? Pretty please?"
Honestly.
Su Bai couldn’t handle Zhou Jialu when she was this sweet yet clingy.
So he drove the car onto a deserted stretch of road, turned onto a side path, and parked in a secluded spot by the fields…
A luxury car, a beautiful girl, and an ice-cold cola.
This, apparently, was the life of the wealthy.
……
About an hour later.
"Hey, Bai, you’re kinda slow—what took you so long? I was getting impatient."
Back at the auto show venue, it was now Liu Chen'ang’s turn for a test ride.
She hadn’t just missed out on the interior—she’d never experienced a Panamera with all the sport trims either.
Liu Chen'ang’s parents were strict. Superstitious as they were, they didn’t completely indulge her spending habits.
According to her, she currently drove a Lotus EMEYA, a somewhat niche million-dollar electric sports sedan.
Her family owned pricier cars, but her parents wouldn’t let her go wild with them.
"Besides, this Panamera costs nearly three million after taxes. To the older generation, that’s just burning money. They prefer splurging on high-end brands’ base models—totally clashes with my car philosophy."
Liu Chen'ang sighed.
Su Bai understood—this rich girl wasn’t lacking funds, just at odds with her parents’ financial mindset.
This kind of generational divide was common, whether among the wealthy or ordinary folks.
"Don’t worry, I think we click. When it comes to cars, we’re on the same wavelength." Su Bai felt a spark of excitement too. "If you ever have cool ideas, I’ll fund the mods. We can experience them together."
"Whoa, seriously? Then thanks in advance!"
[Ding! Detected S-tier beauty Liu Chenyang (Liu Chen'ang). Affection +3. Current affection: 78.]
Liu Chen'ang beamed.
Clearly, this girl wore her heart on her sleeve—straightforward, a little dorky, but refreshingly genuine.
Su Bai calculated silently. Liu Chen'ang’s affection had already hit 78. Two more points, and at 80, he could bind her for spending rebates.
Playing around with cars with her would be the perfect excuse to splurge—not aimlessly, but on modifications, something any guy would love.
As for how to raise those last two points, Su Bai wasn’t in a rush.
After all, Liu Chen'ang was the one making moves.
He just had to keep interacting with her naturally.
Except…
Why did it seem like Liu Chen'ang had been sniffing the air periodically since getting in the car, her face lighting up with delight each time?
Su Bai was baffled.
Meanwhile, Liu Chen'ang was in high spirits.
The car carried a scent most vehicles didn’t have.
One was distinctly feminine—no doubt from Zhou Jialu’s presence earlier.
The other matched the aura Su Bai exuded: brimming with masculine vitality.
Well… let’s just say our girl Chenyang had a thing for that.
"Chen'ang, do you have seasonal allergies or something? Why do you keep sniffing?"
"Ah! N-no, I just—"
Flustered, Liu Chen'ang worried Su Bai might think she was a creep.
So she deflected, "Uh, I just really wanna drive this thing… You mentioned you have a racing license?"
"Yep, sure do, buddy!"
"Then show me what you’ve got. Let’s see some speed…"
Su Bai was curious.
And this stretch of road was perfect—smooth and empty.
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."
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?!
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.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
