(Don’t worry, it won’t take that long. The male lead is steadily making progress with the girl, and we’ll soon get to the part everyone’s eager to see. Just hold on, dear readers.)
A bit of a shame—today didn’t end with him sealing the deal with his senior.
Zhou Jialu felt that since they’d only just met, things were moving too fast. The first time should be more meaningful, more deliberate… Maybe that’s just a girl’s sense of ceremony.
Su Bai agreed—after all, it was his first time too.
At least, that’s what he said out loud. In his mind, it was a different story.
They could hold off on the final step, but that didn’t mean he’d skip all the other pleasures.
According to the system panel, Zhou Jialu was also eager… Probably pent up from her three years of university life.
Su Bai planned to take it slow, using all kinds of intimate methods to gradually claim his senior.
Out loud, he and Zhou Jialu agreed that in a little over a month—on her birthday—she would give herself to him.
But how long it would actually take? That depended entirely on Su Bai’s skills.
Good things come to those who wait. No rush.
Su Bai had already decided: when the time came, he’d make his senior beg him to take that final step ahead of schedule.
A wicked, delightfully devious plan was already taking shape in his mind.
……
……
Anyway, some time later.
Su Bai sprawled on the sofa, exhaling deeply.
Refreshed.
His mind felt oddly empty.
Entering that post-coital phase where a man contemplates the universe, life, and the inevitable heat death of existence.
Zhou Jialu had gone back to campus, saying she’d made dinner plans with her roommate.
Fine by him. For dinner, Su Bai figured he’d go explore other ways to rack up cashback.
Some methods just weren’t suitable to do with his senior around.
Of the three bags he’d bought Zhou Jialu, two were temporarily left with Su Bai—bringing them to the dorm felt too risky.
Only the vibrant, everyday-use one was slung over her shoulder as she left.
She said carrying such an expensive bag would signal to other men that she was taken, so they wouldn’t bother her.
“What if people assume you’re being kept by some rich guy?” Su Bai asked.
“Hehe, who cares? There’ve always been rumors that some wealthy old man was ‘ruining’ me. I’m used to the gossip!” Zhou Jialu nuzzled against him, her face glowing with happiness. “Being kept by my junior? That’s my good luck.”
Recalling the blissful, utterly smitten look on her face when she said those words…
Su Bai was very satisfied.
Just as he was lost in thought, the system pinged again.
[Ding! Zhou Jialu’s favorability has increased. Current favorability: 90.]
[Favorability has exceeded 90. Reward: 1 lottery draw. Total draws available: 2!]
Seriously?
She’s already this devoted?
Was it because Su Bai had spent on her so lavishly and relentlessly? Or was Zhou Jialu just naturally this pure-hearted?
Maybe it was that elusive thing called love at first sight?
Could be a mix of everything. Emotions are complicated like that.
Whatever. Time to spin the lottery wheel!
Two back-to-back draws had Su Bai rubbing his hands in anticipation.
Wait.
Better shower first. Purify himself for maximum luck.
Generally speaking, even in mid-tier cities, non-chain hotels in the suburbs might have usable bathtubs.
But the hygiene standards of those tubs? Questionable at best…
At a place like the Marriott, though, you could at least trust they cleaned the tub properly.
Su Bai soaked happily, then draped himself in a bathrobe and bowed toward the river—paying respects to the God of Wealth for good measure.
Rituals complete, he tapped the lottery button in the system interface.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Prize: 1,000,000 RMB in cash!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Prize: Primary Body Enhancement Serum!]
[Description: The Primary Body Enhancement Serum will restore the host’s body to peak health, elevating all physical metrics to the upper tier of adult male fitness. Existing strengths receive additional boosts!]
Not bad.
A year of grueling college entrance exam prep had left Su Bai’s body in a semi-functional state.
These days, chronic gastritis, cervical spine issues, and herniated discs are practically rites of passage for high schoolers.
Can’t be helped—the Gaokao is brutal, and the grind is relentless.
No wonder people joke that university students are made of glass.
After the abuse their bodies take in high school, it’s a miracle they’re still standing.
This enhancement serum would fix those health problems nicely.
As for the physical upgrades? Su Bai was all for it. What man doesn’t dream of a stronger body?
After skimming the serum’s details, Su Bai summoned it immediately.
A small glass vial, about the size of a soda can, filled with clear, odorless liquid.
Downed in one go.
Sweet and refreshing, it seemed to absorb the moment it touched his tongue.
Then he lay on the bed.
No dramatic fever, no oozing black toxins, no bone-cracking sound effects…
Just an hour-long nap. When Su Bai opened his eyes, the world felt subtly different.
First, his vision and hearing were sharper.
Then came the surge of vitality—something he hadn’t felt since before high school. Years of nonstop studying had worn him down, but now? He was back at his peak… No, even better.
Striking a few bodybuilder poses in the mirror, he admired his newly optimized physique.
Very pleased.
“On paper, I’m probably still behind serious gym rats, but those over-the-top muscles look weird anyway. This balanced look is way more stylish.”
Su Bai had zero interest in turning into some Arnold-esque meat mountain. Staying handsome was the priority.
Outside, dusk was settling in.
His stomach growled.
Room service it was—a full Western-style dinner.
Never tried it before. Time to taste-test.
Since he planned to drive around later, Su Bai skipped the wine.
The classic trio: appetizer, soup, and steak, with a side of bread.
Premium ingredients with understated seasoning. Not mind-blowing, but decent.
Mid-meal, Chen Yusheng’s message popped up.
[Rainstop: Gaming tonight?]
[Crispy Goose: Yeah, I’ll ping you when I’m ready.]
[Rainstop: K.]
[Rainstop: Gonna head out then. Roommate’s here—hard to talk.]
[Crispy Goose: [Goose_OK]]
[Rainstop: [CatRoll.gif]]
Su Bai did the math. He was staying at the hotel tonight, but his gaming laptop was back in the dorm. Too lazy to fetch it.
Using a MacBook for League of Legends? Felt wrong.
Like reading fast-food web novels on a premium e-ink reader—just unnatural.
A quick map check showed a cybercafe right below the hotel.
One of the nicer ones, according to reviews: smoke-free, high-end PCs, plenty of seats. Even at peak hours, vacancies were guaranteed.
Su Bai guessed why: it was a bit far from Jiang University’s main campus, plus the prices were steep. Students wouldn’t bother.
The surrounding neighborhood was upscale too—exactly the kind of place where people wouldn’t frequent internet cafes.
Perfect. Tonight’s gaming spot, sorted.
I wonder if this internet café has any recharge promotions—maybe they’ll give Su Bai a cashback of a few thousand bucks…
By now, Su Bai had fully embraced the mindset of a "reckless tycoon," always looking for ways to milk the system.
When Chen Yusheng finally texted that she was ready, Su Bai headed downstairs and followed the map to the internet café’s address.
The moment he stepped inside, he spotted a familiar figure at the counter paying for her session.
They locked eyes for a beat.
Su Bai broke the silence first: "Seriously? You came all the way out here just to grind ranks?"
"It’s precisely because it’s far from campus that I won’t run into anyone I know!" Chen Yusheng retorted, her cheeks flushing slightly. "More importantly, why are you here…?"
"Oh, I’m staying at the hotel upstairs tonight. Figured I’d just game here."
The hotel upstairs… seemed pretty upscale.
Probably cost over a grand a night, huh?
Chen Yusheng wasn’t too familiar with that world, but given Su Bai’s wealth, booking a five-star hotel wasn’t exactly surprising.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she brightened. "Since we bumped into each other, why not get a couple’s booth? This place has them."
The words slipped out before she realized how they might sound.
Immediately, she ducked her head, suddenly too flustered to meet Su Bai’s gaze.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
