Dungeon Cleared, Xiao Xue Went Berserk

July 30, 2023, Sunday, rain, 21~26℃.

6:40 a. m.

The raindrops fell gently to the ground, splashing up little water droplets.

"Brother Song, the rain has lessened now, you don't need to take a taxi." Qian Lele held up an umbrella, head down, and walked Yoyo forward.

Tang Song looked up and glanced at the sky, then shook his head and said, "Judging from the sky, it's going to rain heavily again soon, and the roads are full of puddles. Let's take a taxi."

"Okay." Qian Lele pursed her lips tightly.

I feel like I have so much to say, but it's all stuck in my throat, and it's making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

She really wanted to ask Tang Song what time he was leaving, so she could ask him to wait for her to get off work and help him pack up.

But I'm also afraid of putting the other party in a difficult position.

Tang Song turned his head and calmly asked, "By the way, Lele, what time do you get off work this afternoon?"

Qian Lele paused, a look of intense joy flashing in her lowered eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "Sister Zhao is at the coffee shop today. I get off work at 4 pm, so I won't stay any longer."

The early shift is from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m.

She cherishes her job opportunity at the coffee shop and usually stays until around 5 p. m. to get more work done.

However, the fact that Tang Song asked this question today suggests that he intends to wait for her to finish work before leaving.

"OK, I got it." Tang Song nodded and pointed to a taxi parked by the roadside. "Let's go, Lele, see you at 4 pm."

Qian Lele suddenly looked up at him, her eyes filled with surprise, and said, "Okay, Brother Song! Goodbye!"

If Tang Song said that, then he would definitely wait for her.

"Goodbye." Tang Song smiled and waved.

He watched Qian Lele quickly get into a taxi and slowly disappear around the street corner before turning back to his apartment.

Turn on your computer and access your company email.

At 11 p. m. last night, Lin Mu Xue, nicknamed "Luna", had finished compiling and sending over all the information about the business and operations of Lanfeng International Hotel.

Since it was just basic information collection and summarization, and with the help of staff from Lanfeng International Office.

This was a very simple job, but for Lin Mu Xue, it was a great opportunity to get some experience.

I just don't know how well she's doing with her English; we can test her later.

After downloading the attachment, Tang Song gently adjusted his glasses and began to quickly and carefully review it.

Having become accustomed to his "Study God" state, his eyes, adorned with "Tang Song's Glasses," resembled those of a sophisticated scanner.

The hotel's main business includes guest rooms, catering, conferences and banquets, and leisure and entertainment.

From operations management, employee lists, customer information, material procurement and supply chain management.

Imprinting passages of text into your mind allows for rapid digestion and absorption.

Tang Song's gaze flickered as he read and pondered.

The Branch Mission "Qualified Leader" is very important to him.

Besides the rewards of [Dress-up Gift Pack *1] and [Charm +1], this is also the most influential and complex company he currently controls.

If it were two weeks ago, it might have been a bit difficult for him.

However, with the professional knowledge system he has now built, he already possesses a wealth of theoretical management knowledge. The next step is real practice and refinement.

As a well-established luxury five-star hotel, Lanfeng International boasts a considerable network of relationships, personal connections, and social resources.

This is of great significance for him to reach a higher level and broaden his horizons and perspectives.

11:30 a. m.

There's only half an hour left until the dungeon ends.

Tang Song let out a long sigh and stood up from his seat.

A drowsy feeling returned.

After four and a half hours of intense reading and thinking, I'm physically and mentally exhausted and need a rest.

Tang Song stretched and washed his face in the bathroom before gradually recovering.

I just got back to the bedroom.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone on the table started vibrating wildly.

Tang Song glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Han Xiaoyang, my high school classmate.

The call connected. "Hello, Xiaoyang."

"Hey Tang Song, I already asked Li Ping about Liu Qingning, the last time you asked me to. Are you free at noon? How about we grab lunch and chat?"

Tang Song checked the time and said, "I'm still a bit busy. I'll be free around 12:20, is that alright?"

"Sure! No problem! You're still living in the Teacher's Apartment, right?"

"Um."

"Okay, then we'll come pick you up later."

"Us?" Tang Song asked in surprise, "Who else is there besides you?"

Han Xiaoyang said excitedly, "Li Ping, knowing that you are also in Yancheng and are an alumnus, I naturally want to meet you."

Tang Song immediately realized what was going on and laughed, "You're using me as an excuse to ask girls out, aren't you?"

"Hehe, okay, see you later! Bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song leaned back wearily in his seat and put on his Bluetooth headset.

Listening to soothing music, I quietly waited for time to pass.

Around 12 noon.

The augmented reality display provided by "Special Vision" gradually disappeared.

"Whoosh!" The light blue System Interface reappeared.

The light curtain shifts, and the background image changes.

A 3D character model from the Tang Song stands in the center of the image, with dense bookshelves behind him, and figures, props, and buildings appearing around him.

He saw the monster "Piggy Bank," the NPC "Aunt Zhang of the Cafeteria," the "Mysterious Shop," the "Cloud Library," and the "Leisure Forest"...

Then, lines of text appeared one after another.

[Realistic Story Dungeon - The Self-Cultivation of a Study God, Completed]

[Evaluation settlement in progress...]

The Study God (Tang Song) rated it as: SS (Excellent)

You read extensively, absorb what you've learned, maintain self-discipline, immerse yourself in your role, and uphold your established persona.

[You have received attribute bonuses: Charisma +2, Comprehension +1, Stamina +7, Constitution +2]

The item "Magical Piggy Bank" has been opened.

You have won a cash prize of 20 million yuan.

The "mask" effect has stopped working.

At the same time, Tang Song was jolted.

The excitement in his nerves gradually faded, and the bright light in his eyes disappeared.

The halo effect completely disappeared, and my thoughts gradually returned to normal.

The stark contrast between the past and the present left Tang Song unsettled and feeling lost.

Along with that came a deep sense of exhaustion.

A while later.

Tang Song sat up straight and opened the System Interface.

First, check your personal information.

[Player: Tang Song (65' Charm)]

[Character: President of Songmei Clothing]

Height: 184cm, Weight: 80kg

[Constitution: 70, Endurance: 75, Agility: 65, Comprehension: 83]

[Asset Status:]

Balance: 30.321 million yuan (Investment Capital of 171 million yuan)

Companies: Songmei Clothing (75% equity), Slover Trust, Huashang Apparel (35% equity), Bocai Yingrui (35% equity), Lanfeng International Hotel Co., Ltd.. (80%), Stardust International Group Co., Ltd.. (15% - held on behalf of others), Qingning Technology Co., Ltd.. (3%), Tang Zong Entertainment Group Co., Ltd.. (4%)

This dungeon took a long time to complete, and he unlocked it by fusing four items with Enhancement Crystal.

The harvest was also unprecedented.

The attribute panel has become very fancy.

The balance instantly exceeded 30 million, reaching its all-time high.

Moreover, with the establishment of his knowledge system and the completion of the equity transfer, his Charm Value instantly reached 65.

Looking at his 70 physique and 75 stamina, Tang Song couldn't help but smile, feeling excited.

My current skill level is already considered outstanding.

Looking forward to their performance on the court.

Return to the main interface and enter the System Shop.

The "Whispers of Human Nature," priced at 20 million, sits quietly on the shelf, emitting a faint glow.

This seductive prop is what tempts him all day long.

Now that we've finally raised enough money, let's buy it!

"Ding! You have obtained [Whispers of Human Nature]."

[Balance: 10.321 million yuan (Investment Capital of 171 million yuan)]

Done!

Tang Song felt completely comfortable and his mind was clear.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

It's Han Xiaoyang; he should be arriving soon.

"Hey, Xiaoyang, where are you guys?"

"Okay, just wait for me at the South Gate, I'll be right down."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song noticed a new WeChat message on his Mobile Phone.

Qian Lele: "The coffee shop isn't very busy today, so work is pretty easy. Brother Song, you're still here? I'm leaving at 4 o'clock sharp; I've already told Sister Zhao."

Tang Song couldn't help but smile, realizing that Lele was worried he would slip away without a word.

She replied, "Yes, I 'No rush."

After thinking for a moment, he opened Lin Mu Xue's WeChat chat window again.

The message read, "Xiao Xue, are you free this afternoon? Come with me to buy some things."

Although we know Qian Lele's body measurements, she still needs professional on-site guidance to buy suitable clothes.

Xiao Xue is the perfect candidate.

Moreover, she is 173 cm tall and weighs 53 kg.

The difference between her and Qian Lele, who is 170cm tall and weighs 55kg, is not that great.

And they are all C-cup.

Can you help me try on the clothes and see how they look?

He still cared a lot about his female college student friend.

The rain is still falling.

Tang Song, holding Jiang You Rong's transparent umbrella, walked around puddles and out of the South Gate gate of the community.

He took out his Mobile Phone, about to call Han Xiaoyang.

"Beep beep—" came the piercing sound of a horn.

A red Volkswagen Polo parked on the side of the road had its hazard lights on.

Immediately afterward, the passenger window rolled down, and Han Xiaoyang, wearing a striped shirt, called out to him, "Tang Song! Over here!"

Tang Song strode over.

As he got closer, he saw Li Ping sitting in the driver's seat.

The changes are huge compared to high school.

My impression of her is that she had a bit of baby fat and short hair.

At this moment, Li Ping had long, wavy, orange-brown hair, wore light makeup, and was dressed in a stylish chiffon blouse, giving her a rather sophisticated urban look.

Of course, for people in the Tang Song who were used to seeing beautiful women, she was not considered pretty.

Their eyes met, and Li Ping smiled politely at him, saying calmly, "Hello, Tang Song."

Because they weren't in the same class, their relationship was actually quite ordinary.

After not seeing each other for so many years, we're practically strangers now.

"Long time no see, Li Ping, you're even more beautiful than before. No wonder Xiaoyang specially transferred from Jiang City to Yancheng for the exam." Tang Song nodded with a smile.

Han Xiaoyang blushed. "Damn, buddy, you're just teasing me right off the bat. I kindly invited you to dinner."

Li Ping, on the other hand, seemed quite indifferent. She looked Tang Song up and down and said, "Get in the car, let's go eat first."

Tang Song opened the back door, folded his umbrella, shook it off, and nimbly got in.

Given his height and weight, he looked somewhat cramped sitting in the back of the POLO.

You can only lean forward as much as possible.

"Buzzing—"

The engine was started, the windshield wipers swung faster, and the car slowly began to move.

Han Xiaoyang turned to the side and said with a grin, "I have good news for you. I've found an internship at Hengming Pharmaceutical Company's R&D department."

"No wonder you're so happy." Tang Song smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Congratulations!"

"Hehe, I'm starting work tomorrow, so I'll treat you two to a big meal today!" Han Xiaoyang said, looking at the driver's seat. "Thanks to our beautiful Pingping for being so kind and even driving me around."

Li Ping smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.

Then, Han Xiaoyang enthusiastically talked about his internship.

Although it's not a well-known pharmaceutical company, it's considered a large and reputable company locally.

After graduation and becoming a full-time employee, you'll receive benefits such as weekends off, Five Insurances and One Fund, and overtime pay.

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Li Ping's profile.

Rather than introducing Tang Song, it's more like wanting to show off in front of his White Moonlight.

He completed his associate's and bachelor's degrees in Jiang City, and chose Yancheng Normal University for his postgraduate studies simply because Li Ping was there.

I'm trying hard to find a stable, good job so that I can stand more bravely by her side.

He used to be just a student, and even during his postgraduate studies, he could only barely take care of his own life.

Now I'm finally going to work, and I have something to look forward to in the future.

The car stopped at B1 of Minghui Shopping Mall.

Because of the heavy rain, there were far fewer people out and about, and parking spaces were easy to find.

They took the elevator directly to the Haidilao Han Xiaoyang.

Since I had booked the package online in advance, I could simply redeem the group-buying voucher.

The restaurant wasn't crowded, and the food came out quickly.

The three clinked their drink glasses together.

Han Xiaoyang kept putting Li Ping's favorite dishes on her plate.

They finally stopped when the other party waved their hand in refusal.

Then he turned to Tang Song and talked about Li Ping's current situation.

After graduating from university, Li Ping joined a large state-owned enterprise in the south. Last year, she seized the opportunity to be transferred to the branch in Yancheng and became a supervisor.

I currently earn over 10,000 yuan a month, own my own car, and plan to buy a house in two years.

Han Xiaoyang's words were full of praise, and he spoke with great enthusiasm, appearing as if he were very proud of himself.

Li Ping quietly ate her hotpot beside her, Qian Qian smile on her lips, behaving somewhat politely, aloofly, and distant.

Tang Song noticed this as soon as they met.

Li Ping has really changed a lot since high school.

Han Xiaoyang, who was still in school, clearly hadn't changed his mindset and was still pursuing her in the same way he did during school.

When Han Xiaoyang finally stopped.

Tang Song took a sip of plum juice and asked, "Xiaoyang, tell me in detail about Liu Qingning buying a house in Yancheng."

Han Xiaoyang patted his head, then remembered the important matter and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Okay, okay, actually Pingping and I don't know much about this. We mainly heard about it from Wang Xiaoru in your class. She's also in Yancheng, but in the Zhengding New District."

"Wang Xiaoru?" A figure gradually appeared in Tang Song's mind.

Han Xiaoyang nodded and continued, "I heard from Wang Xiaoru that Liu Qingning spent two days in Yancheng before the Yancheng New Year to learn about the new and old housing developments there."

During the Chinese New Year, I contacted a few classmates who were working in Yancheng and asked them to keep an eye out for good housing options.

Oh, by the way, she was quite purposeful, highlighting several business districts and residential areas.

The best option is the Desheng Square area, such as Freshheart Gardens, but the total price cannot exceed 2 million yuan.

Upon hearing the words "Freshheart Gardens", Tang Song felt a mix of emotions.

Before leaving the Imperial Capital, Liu Qingning's mother called her.

The gist of it was that he should persuade Liu Qingning to go to Shencheng with the company, because it was a better place for her to develop her career.

At the end of the call, she asked tactfully, "Tang Song, when do you plan to buy a house? Do you have any plans for the next two years? Leaving aside a big city like Imperial Capital, you should at least buy one in Yancheng, the provincial capital, right?"

Because they were from the same town, he and his "White Moonlight" had an extremely good relationship.

Liu Qingning's mother knew about her family's situation and that he couldn't afford a house.

So, what he was really saying was telling him not to jeopardize Liu Qingning's bright future and to have some self-awareness.

Later, when he returned to Yancheng, weary from his journey, he saw that Lu Ziming had such a nice house and felt very envious.

I also dream of the day when I'll be able to afford a house here.

He had mentioned these things when chatting with Liu Qingning, and even video-took her to tour his neighborhood.

He was unaware that Liu Qingning had visited Yancheng before the Lunar New Year.

So it seems she did secretly make a plan, but just didn't tell me.

It was probably because they knew about his family situation and that he didn't have much savings.

"Call--"

Tang Song lowered his head and let out a long breath.

My White Moonlight, what are you really thinking? Why won't you tell me?

Seeing Tang Song suddenly fall silent, Han Xiaoyang opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

He had shared a dorm room with Tang Song for nearly two years, so he naturally knew about the complicated relationship and feelings between Tang Song and Liu Qingning.

I just don't know what their current situation is.

Li Ping, who was sitting next to him, put down her chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Tang Song, Liu Qingning is developing her career in Shencheng now, right? I heard she's starting a business?"

"Yes." Tang Song nodded and said, "She won the gold medal in Entrepreneurship Competition before, and then started her own business with this project. Currently, she is developing products in the field of AI + education."

"She's really amazing." Li Ping said with admiration, "No wonder she's Liu Qingning. She's on a completely different level from us Ordinary People. We'll definitely have less and less interaction in the future."

After saying that, she gave Tang Song a meaningful look, then shook her head with a light laugh.

The reason I came here specifically to meet him was out of curiosity; I wanted to know about his relationship with Liu Qingning.

The result is obvious.

Tang Song, whom she met today, did not leave a good impression on her.

Her hair has grown too long and she hasn't cut it; it's all frizzy and messy.

He was dressed simply and plainly, and his shoes were even cheap knock-off Nike.

Her overall attire resembled that of a college student.

Although she has an outstanding figure and appearance, she looks very tired and listless.

I heard from Han Xiaoyang that he was doing live-streaming e-commerce, but he's been at the Teachers' University for the past two weeks, so it's probably a failure.

Clearly, this high school classmate couldn't keep up with Liu Qingning's pace.

"Ring ring—" The Mobile Phone phone suddenly rang.

Li Ping picked up her Mobile Phone, glanced at it, stood up, and said, "I'm going outside to take this call and go to the restroom. You guys talk first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Watching Li Ping's slender figure disappear down the corridor, Han Xiaoyang reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He whispered excitedly, "So, Tang Song, my taste is pretty good, isn't it? Aren't you amazed by Li Ping? Isn't she even prettier than before? And she's a leader in a state-owned enterprise, a true business elite, a goddess of the workplace!"

"Hmm." Tang Song nodded absentmindedly.

Han Xiaoyang sighed for a long time.

He sighed, "I feel like I'm not good enough for her, so I haven't dared to confess. Let's have a drink! We're in the same boat here! Keep it up!"

After saying that, he raised his drink glass and clinked it with Tang Song's, then took a big gulp.

The reason he kept trying to find a good job was to narrow the gap between himself and Li Ping.

Unfortunately, his basic academic qualifications were too poor, and his graduate school was also mediocre.

The sound of footsteps approached, "Tap tap tap."

Li Ping, dressed in a stylish and beautiful outfit, walked back.

"I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of after dinner, so I'm afraid I can't take you back to the Teachers' University."

Han Xiaoyang quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright, we can just take a taxi back, it's not far! Your matter is the most important!"

Li Ping Wei Xiao and nodded, then continued eating her hotpot without saying anything more.

"Ring ring—" Tang Song's Mobile Phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

It's Lin Mu Xue.

Yi Sha Beauty Salon.

Inside the luxurious and grand VIP Room.

Amid soothing music and pleasant fragrance, Lin Mu Xue, having just finished a full-body beauty spa treatment, slowly opened her eyes.

I took a good look at myself in the mirror.

Her skin was delicate and smooth, like silk, with a subtle sheen.

Every pore feels like it's breathing freely, clear and comfortable.

He exudes a light and relaxed feeling.

Having become Shareholder Member and with 200,000 yuan in savings in her account, how could she possibly resist?

Like Zhao Yachian, she now gets a full-body treatment every weekend.

Make sure your physical condition is at its best.

"Madam Lin, here's your fruit." A beauty consultant in uniform approached and placed a beautifully presented fruit platter beside her.

Lin Mu Xue nodded slightly and began to eat in small bites.

The refreshing and sweet fruit juice made her feel even better.

"Hand me your Mobile Phone."

"Okay, Madam Lin."

Lin Mu Xue unlocked her Mobile Phone while eating fruit.

I haven't checked my WeChat for over two hours, and there are already quite a few unread messages.

After a quick glance, Lin Mu Xue paused, then quickly put down the fruit in her hand and sat up straight.

His face was full of panic and regret.

An hour ago, Tang Song actually asked me to go shopping!

The key issue is that I wasn't able to reply immediately.

Will he be angry? Will he replace him?

This is of paramount importance! How could I possibly miss it!

Lin Mu Xue pinched her thigh hard and nervously dialed the phone.

"Dudu beep beep—"

Hearing the call finally connected, Lin Mu Xue quickly explained in a low voice, "Hello, I'm sorry Tang Song, I was just getting a beauty treatment, so I didn't see your message. I'm free! Anytime!"

"Okay, I'm all done here! Can I come find you now?"

"It's alright, it's alright. You can eat in peace. I can wait for you downstairs."

"Okay, send me your location, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu Xue hurriedly called out to the beauty consultant, "Xiao Lin, go find me two makeup artists, I need to leave right away!"

"Okay, Madam Lin! I'll arrange it right away!"

Lin Mu Xue jogged into the changing room and quickly changed into her own clothes.

Back in the private room, the makeup artist was already waiting at the dressing table.

Lin Mu Xue plopped down and began instructing the two on what to do.

One person was responsible for her facial makeup, and the other was responsible for her hair.

Ten minutes later, everything was done.

Looking at the radiant and beautiful woman in the mirror, Lin Mu Xue's eyes sparkled with excitement.

It's been half a month since I last saw Tang Song.

She had just had a full-body treatment and felt incredibly strong.

She picked up her beloved bag and hurried downstairs.

"Boom!" The longitudinally mounted 6-cylinder engine unleashed its powerful output.

The matte gray Porsche 911 accelerated out of the underground parking garage and plunged into the layers of rain.

The car's smooth lines appear elegant and noble under the reflection of raindrops.

Han Xiaoyang asked in surprise, "Who was that on the phone just now? It sounded like a girl's voice?"

"A friend is coming with me this afternoon to run some errands," Tang Song explained casually, then added, "It's raining quite heavily outside, and it'll probably be hard to get a taxi. My friend will be coming to Minghui Shopping Mall later; I'll have her take you back to the Teachers' University."

Han Xiaoyang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, thanks."

"Don't mention it, you've gone to so much trouble this time. I'll treat you to a big meal next time."

"Hehe, okay." Han Xiaoyang turned to ask, "Pingping, if Tang Song is treating, do you want to come along?"

Li Ping gently shook her head, "I'm quite busy with work here, you guys just eat."

"Um... okay then." Han Xiaoyang looked disappointed, but quickly recovered.

More than half an hour later.

Li Ping took a sip of lemonade, put her Mobile Phone in her bag, and said, "I'm finished eating. Are you leaving now, or would you like to eat a little longer?"

Han Xiaoyang turned to Tang Song and said, "I'm fine with anything, what about you?"

Tang Song glanced at his Mobile Phone and said, "Let's go down together then. My friend is waiting in the Underground Parking Lot."

"When did you arrive?" Han Xiaoyang patted his shoulder and laughed, "I say, that's so ungentlemanly of you, making that girl wait for you downstairs."

"Hehe, I just arrived not long ago."

After packing their things, the three of them left Haidilao and went up the elevator.

"Ding—" The elevator came to a smooth stop on B1.

Li Ping walked ahead with a calm expression.

She carried an elegant handbag on her arm and wore a silk shirt and brown skirt, looking quite eye-catching.

Han Xiaoyang's eyes sparkled, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure.

Stepping out of the B1 elevator lobby, Li Ping paused, took out her car keys from her bag, and waved them. "I'll be going now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a parked car suddenly approached slowly and stopped next to them.

The matte gray Porsche 911 still had rolling water droplets on it.

The unique body lines are subtly revealed under the lights, exuding elegance, luxury, and dynamism, showcasing a distinctive texture.

It instantly attracted the attention of many people around.

The car door opened gently, revealing a stunning Bordeaux Red interior.

A pair of long, shapely legs stretched out, appearing incredibly white in the dimly lit basement, their skin seemingly radiating a faint glow.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure appeared in sight.

Her long hair was slightly curled and casually draped over her shoulders.

Her exquisite makeup looked especially charming under the soft lighting.

"Tap tap—" Lin Mu Xue stepped out of the Porsche 911 as her shoes gently stomped on the ground.

A simple yet stylish black dress that accentuates a tall and sexy figure.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes sparkled with a bright light.

It possesses both the confidence and elegance of an urban elite and the noble charm of a woman.

It complements this Porsche 911 perfectly.

The combination of sports cars and beautiful women creates a unique visual impact.

Li Ping, who was fixing her hair, paused for a moment, then lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

Han Xiaoyang's gaze was also drawn to it, and his expression became somewhat dazed.

Customers entering and leaving the mall couldn't help but slow down, casting complicated glances at them.

Having just finished a full-body beauty spa treatment, with full makeup and wearing her newly bought haute couture dress, Emperor Mu Xue drove her Porsche 911 like a madwoman!
