"What did you say? Full payment?!"
The boss scratched his ear, completely dumbfounded.
"That's right, full payment, settled on the spot." Su Bai glanced toward the back of the warehouse, where a tarp-covered presence loomed. "Haven't seen the actual car yet, but my gut tells me we’ve got some kind of connection..."
"Bro, seriously??" Wu Hanyu was stunned. "You’re really paying in full?"
"Haha, Old Wu, you just don’t get it. Su Bai here is an investment prodigy—money’s no issue for him. This is just pocket change!" Liu Chen'ang hyped Su Bai up like there was no tomorrow.
Wu Hanyu’s gaze toward Su Bai grew increasingly solemn.
Unfathomable. Absolutely unfathomable.
This guy looked like a complete outsider in the supercar world.
Yet here he was, impulsively dropping full payment on a JeSkO?
Honestly, it was kind of insane.
Truth be told, Su Bai’s wealth wasn’t that exaggerated.
If he hadn’t been grinding hard to stack cash recently, his savings wouldn’t have covered this.
"So, Old Wu, wanna follow suit and go full payment too?"
"Alright, alright, I’m officially impressed." Wu Hanyu waved his hands in surrender and clapped Su Bai on the shoulder. "You’re a legend, man. Let’s swap WeChat? Hit me up for car meets—I know this club inside out."
After adding Su Bai, Wu Hanyu made a swift exit.
He’d thought victory was in the bag, only to get utterly outplayed in one move.
Yeah, no way he was sticking around after that.
Still, silver linings and all—at least he’d made Su Bai’s acquaintance. Not a total loss.
But who was this guy? Wu Hanyu racked his brain but couldn’t place Su Bai anywhere in Jiangcheng’s elite circles.
Whatever. He’d dig around later.
Casually, of course—just friendly curiosity, not some aggressive background check.
People with untraceable depths hated that.

Inside the warehouse.
[Ding! Detected S-tier goddess Liu Chen'ang (Liu Chenyang). Favorability +3. Current favorability: 85.]
Liu Chen'ang was practically giddy.
"Haha, did you see his face? Priceless. Bet he’s never seen anyone buy a car like this."
"True. I don’t actually know much about Koenigsegg, but if you vouch for it, it’s gotta be good."
"Heh, right? Wait till you take it for a spin. You play games, yeah? Ever tried Forza Horizon? This thing’s basically the fastest in the game."
"Damn, now you’re speaking my language."
Su Bai didn’t drag it out—he followed the boss to finalize payment.
A transaction over 31 million required meticulous bank verification. No simple swipe-and-go here.
Which made those melodramatic urban revenge novels where someone wakes up to find 80 million drained by their lover seem downright ridiculous...
[Ding! Host’s extravagant purchase of a multi-million supercar (31.12 million) triggered 5x cashback. Reward: +155.6 million yuan!]
[Congratulations, Host! Total savings exceeded 100 million. Reward: Mystery Growth Package. Check system interface to claim!]
Su Bai kept his composure, but inwardly, he was soaring.
Over 100 million in the bank!
And his first single cashback exceeding nine figures.
Felt pretty damn good.
A 5x multiplier wasn’t the highest, but it wasn’t shabby either.
Still a flex-worthy payout.
Honestly, it was pure luck stumbling onto Liu Chen'ang’s reserved ride.
Otherwise, snagging a hypercar like this would’ve meant months of waiting—no way he’d have scored such a hefty cashback so fast.
As Su Bai mused whether single-transaction cashbacks over 100 million came with extra rewards...
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving "Single Cashback Exceeding 100 Million." Reward: All attributes +3.]
Hell yes.
The immediate, all-around upgrade sent a wave of euphoric warmth through his body and mind.
Su Bai checked his stats:
[Host Attributes]
[Physique: 88]
[Intellect: 78]
[Appearance: 89]
[Special: 93]
[Skills: Military Combat (Master), Swimming (Master), Finance & Business Management (Master), Hand Techniques (Proficient), Everyday Driving (Expert)]
Forget intellect for now.
Physique and looks were nearing peak human levels.
And "Special" had hit 93—yikes. Guess his senior would be in for a rough night again.
Even 78 intellect was plenty.
The system’s money-making was brain-dead anyway...
No IQ required.

To Su Bai, the payment process was tedious but secure.
To the boss, it was the smoothest multi-million deal he’d ever seen.
I mean, this was a hypercar worth tens of millions.
Yet Su Bai signed off as casually as if he’d bought a 99.8k BYD.
"Thanks a ton, Young Master Su. This full payment... man, you just saved me a mountain of hassle."
"Oh? I figured luxury importers like you would be swimming in cash."
"You flatter us. The high-end market’s brutal these days—globally, top brands are bleeding sales, especially domestically. Dealers like us? Surviving’s a win. Half the guys I know already went under."
"Damn."
Listening to the boss vent, Su Bai pieced it together.
The economy was shaky.
Even the wealthy were tightening belts—hence slumping supercar sales.
Plus, the rise of domestic EVs gave buyers alternatives.
With paperwork done, Su Bai moved to unveil the Koenigsegg JeSkO.
Rumor had it this car had stayed shrouded since leaving the factory—waiting for its owner’s first reveal.
"By the way, what’s the color scheme?"
Standing before the car, Su Bai stroked his chin and suddenly turned to Liu Chen'ang.
The boss: ...
Bro.
You bought it without even knowing the color?
What kind of next-level spending is this...
Or was Su Bai just that trusting of Liu Chen'ang’s taste?
"Just pull it off and see. Guaranteed to blow your mind."
Liu Chen'ang teased, withholding the answer.
Su Bai chuckled. Following the boss’s guidance, he undid the locks and yanked the tarp aside.
Whoosh—
A sleek, predatory beast materialized before him.
Low-slung, with a front splitter aggressive enough to intimidate traffic.
The exposed carbon fiber body gleamed with metallic depth.
Dihedral synchro-helix doors blended function and flair.
The base? Premium white, accented by vibrant green.
Gotta hand it to Liu—the man had taste.
"So? Love it?" Liu Chen'ang watched Su Bai eagerly, cheeks faintly pink—like a girl waiting for her boyfriend to praise her gift.
"Looks great!"
"Heh, it's more than just good looks. Come on, let's take it for a spin—you drive!"
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
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.
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
