New System Feature: Chen Yusheng's "Potential"

As for Su Bai getting laid, Wang Haoran didn’t feel the slightest bit of jealousy.

After all, he only had eyes for 2D girls.

So Wang Haoran simply left a "Congrats!" under Su Bai’s social media post before diving back into his gaming grind.

Aside from mobile gacha games, Wang Haoran had recently started exploring other pay-to-win online games—especially the kind where whales could spend without limits, like those "attack the sandcastle" MMOs.

According to Su Bai’s theory, these games offered a higher return on investment. Once Su Bai set up his gaming studio, he planned to delegate the task of farming premium accounts to Wang Haoran.

This prospect thrilled Wang Haoran. He’d never imagined he could play the role of a top-tier player in games dominated by big spenders.

Motivation surged through him.

Meanwhile, the most unexpectedly quiet one in the dorm was Chu Mingzhe.

Chu Mingzhe stared intently at the "officially taken" announcement on social media, lost in thought.

If Su Bai and Chen Yusheng were now officially a couple… then what was the deal with the "Benz Guy" from West Gate?

There was no way that was Su Bai’s car.

Sure, Su Bai had come into some money lately, but not enough to afford a GLE.

And Benz Guy hadn’t just picked up Chen Yusheng—he’d also given the Wan Sisters a ride.

So… was it possible that Benz Guy was the real mastermind?

A player even more formidable than Su Bai?

Pulling strings behind the scenes, targeting not just two, but three campus beauties…

The more Chu Mingzhe thought about it, the more horrified he became.

A chill ran down his spine.

"Yo, Shanghai boy, why you shivering like that? You sick or something? Go see a doctor," Xue Tao said warily, keeping his distance from Chu Mingzhe’s bunk.

He didn’t want to catch whatever bug Chu Mingzhe might have.

Fortunately, Chu Mingzhe snapped out of it quickly. "I’m fine. Just zoned out. Don’t we have class soon?"

"Probably. Still got like ten minutes. No rush," Wang Haoran replied casually. He’d timed it perfectly—finish this dungeon run, then head out just in time for lecture.

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of the Marriott Hotel…

Chen Yusheng took another shower.

Well, she had to—she was heading to class, after all.

……

"Why? It’s not necessary. We’re already together."

Clearly, Chen Yusheng had fully accepted Su Bai as her own.

And why wouldn’t she? Su Bai had spent a fortune saving her mother—the only blood relative she had left.

True to her straightforward nature, she held nothing back from him now.

……

"Mmph!"

Chen Yusheng’s cheeks flushed slightly as she muttered under her breath, "Yeah… I really need a break these next couple days."

When it came to endurance, she far outclassed Senior Zhou Jialu.

But everyone had their limits. After all, Chen Yusheng didn’t have a "system" like some people.

Stupid Su Bai. Mean Su Bai~

Her heart pouted playfully as she interlaced her fingers with his, walking hand in hand out the door.

She loved holding his hand, loved this feeling of having someone to lean on.

"Coming back to the hotel tonight?"

"I said I need a break…"

"We can just rest together. Doesn’t have to lead to anything."

Su Bai wore an earnest expression. Thanks to his [Sigma Aura] skill, his self-control was ironclad—he’d never let his girl suffer.

But Chen Yusheng shook her head repeatedly, surprising him with her answer:

"I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself."

"…Alright then."

Honesty really was her strong suit.

……

"Big White Goose, I suddenly feel like you're getting the short end of the stick by keeping me."

"How so?"

"Even if we ignore the money part, dating you feels like I’m the one benefiting—maybe even scoring big!"

Chen Yusheng’s logic might sound outrageous at first, but upon closer thought, it actually made sense.

In typical sugar-baby relationships, one party is after money, the other after looks.

But Chen Yusheng was genuinely satisfied with Su Bai as a person. That meant Su Bai was spending both money and effort—totally getting the raw deal here!

Su Bai burst out laughing and reassured her, "If you really think I’m losing out, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

"If you ever want to start a tech-related business, I’ll fund it as the major shareholder. Then you can make money for me later—that’ll even things out, right?"

"Deal. Absolutely, no problem!"

Chen Yusheng’s eyes lit up, but soon a flicker of doubt crossed her face. "Honestly, I’m not sure if I can... live up to your expectations. The startup world is full of geniuses..."

"Don’t worry. I believe in you. You’ll definitely become an AI prodigy and push the boundaries of cutting-edge tech for the country."

Su Bai’s rare seriousness took Chen Yusheng by surprise.

Huh, Su Bai... since when did you start talking like a motivational speaker?

Chen Yusheng almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.

But then again, being trusted like this...

Not bad at all.

Who wouldn’t want their talents recognized by the person they love?

What Chen Yusheng didn’t know was that Su Bai could now see something extra on her profile—beyond the usual details.

[Name: Chen Yusheng]

[Relationships: 1]

[Measurements: 173cm, 54kg, B-cup]

[Affection Level: 95]

[Potential: Exceptional creativity and project integration skills—ideal as a chief engineer for tech-driven startups.]

The "Potential" category was a newly unlocked feature, visible only after an S-tier goddess’s affection reached 95.

Su Bai hadn’t bothered checking the character stats before, so he’d missed this module entirely.

While waiting at a red light earlier, he’d absentmindedly tapped on Chen Yusheng’s profile and stumbled upon it.

Seeing her potential laid out so clearly, Su Bai was thrilled.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect!

According to the system’s detailed rules, investing in Chen Yusheng’s startup would also trigger cashback rewards.

And startups? Without a doubt, they were one of the most expensive ventures in the world.

The money they burned through? A bottomless pit.

In other words, this would become Su Bai’s ultimate cashback source!

Tsk. I knew it. Chen Yusheng... this woman is something else.
