As An Wuyang walked out of the written test venue for the driving exam, he checked the feedback from the Happy Life System in his mind.
The original car blind box reward had been upgraded to a Luxury Car Blind Box, with a guaranteed minimum of a luxury car worth over 500,000.
"A car over 500,000 counts as a luxury car?" An Wuyang silently grumbled.
In truth, a car in the 500,000 range was practically the ceiling for most people.
But An Wuyang had maxed out his luck in the life lottery—he was born into a wealthy and influential family. To him, a "mere" 500,000 car was hardly a luxury.
He commanded in his mind, "Use the Luxury Car Blind Box."
"Ding!"
"Luxury Car Blind Box drawing..."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained [2021 BMW M3 M xDrive Competition Package in Bixihui]."
"Congratulations, host, you have additionally obtained [License Plate: Sheng A168]."
"Special note: The system has begun financial operations. Please proceed to [Baosheng 5S Store] in three days to claim your reward."
An Wuyang immediately pulled out his phone to look up details on the [2021 BMW M3 M xDrive Competition Package in Bixihui].
This was BMW Group's latest-generation performance model, just released in April this year, with an official guide price of 899,900 Xia Guo Yuan.
Although this generation's M3 had sparked controversy over its oversized grille, its market price currently exceeded the official guide—commonly known as a "markup."
An Wuyang scrolled through the specs on his phone. It was equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo engine, codenamed S58.
That engine delivered up to 510 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.
These numbers meant the new-generation BMW M3 could accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.5 seconds.
Maybe in the 2021 era of electric vehicles, a "mere" 3.5-second zero-to-hundred time was "nothing special."
But internal combustion engines and electric motors were on completely different tracks!
Their potential customer bases weren't even the same crowd.
At least buyers willing to go for a BMW M3 wouldn't choose a 200,000 or 300,000 electric car just because of the zero-to-hundred time.
"It's actually a BMW M3?" An Wuyang was a bit dissatisfied.
He would've preferred a Porsche 911 Turbo S, or at least a 911 Targa 4, but wasn't the family business in trouble now?
So the BMW M3 wasn't unacceptable.
After all, factoring in the purchase tax and all the miscellaneous fees, this BMW M3 M xDrive Competition Package would cost over a million to get on the road!
The only pity was that he had to wait three days to pick it up—that added to his dissatisfaction.
"Coach, can I get my driver's license today?" An Wuyang asked.
"Let me check first." The driving school coach didn't answer directly but pulled out his phone to start asking around.
Within five minutes, the coach replied with certainty, "You're in the first batch to pass. You can get your license before five o'clock today. If you don't have anything else to do, you can wait here. If you do, you can choose to have it mailed."
"I'll wait, then," An Wuyang responded.
"You're fine heading back on your own, right?" the coach asked, then quickly added, "I'm heading back to the school first—there's something I need to handle."
An Wuyang agreed easily, "No problem."
He had already passed the driving test. Theoretically, his contract with Great Wall Driving School was over, so the coach had no obligation to stay and wait with him.
In fact, barring any surprises, An Wuyang and the coach would likely never cross paths again, so the coach's reluctance to stick around was perfectly natural.
After the coach left, An Wuyang settled into the waiting room at the vehicle management center. He put on his earphones and scrolled through short videos to kill time.
"Xia Yuqing: You there? You there?"
"An Wuyang: How am I supposed to know if I'm there if you don't say what it's about?"
"Xia Yuqing: Hey, I've got good news for you."
"Xia Yuqing: I got into Magic City Academy of Drama!"
"Xia Yuqing: What do you think?"
"Xia Yuqing: Pretty impressive, right?"
"Xia Yuqing: [Praise me.jpg]"
"An Wuyang: Impressive!"
"Xia Yuqing: I'm coming back to Shengqing today."
"Xia Yuqing: I'll treat you to dinner tonight—we're celebrating."
"Xia Yuqing: How about Xiao Fang Fresh Meat Barbecue?"
"Xia Yuqing: I'll be home around four-something, need to freshen up, so let's meet at six."
This Xia Yuqing was being way too enthusiastic. She wasn't in his class—she was an art student from the neighboring Class Nine.
Back when An Wuyang's classmate Yang Kai was harassing Xia Yuqing in the hallway, An Wuyang stepped up to speak out for justice, which made Yang Kai lose face.
Maybe that's why Yang Kai became Sun Zhiming's lackey, always looking to pick a fight with An Wuyang.
But Xia Yuqing did get closer to An Wuyang because of it.
Xia Yuqing was a dance arts student, stunningly beautiful. Even though An Wuyang's high school didn't have an official school beauty ranking, she was definitely on that level.
At least An Wuyang's ex-girlfriend, Su Yueling, wasn't as good-looking as Xia Yuqing!
Still, Su Yueling had her own strengths.
Not just fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs—she was especially good at sucking up, in every sense of the word. She could provide emotional value and also...
'Xia Yuqing: Oh, by the way, you can bring Su Yueling along.'
'An Wuyang: ?'
'Xia Yuqing: I'm just worried your girlfriend might get jealous.'
'Xia Yuqing: I know, if I go out to eat alone with you, she'll definitely be mad.'
'Xia Yuqing: She doesn't trust you at all!'
'An Wuyang: Why are you suddenly sounding so catty?'
'An Wuyang: Talk normally!'
'Xia Yuqing: Hey, I'm just worried about you!'
'Xia Yuqing: Someone screenshotted a message from your class group and leaked it.'
'Xia Yuqing: From the screenshot, I can't tell who did it—they only cut out Sun Zhiming's chat log.'
'Xia Yuqing: That Su Yueling person.'
'Xia Yuqing: Before, she was your girlfriend, so I didn't want to say anything.'
'Xia Yuqing: But judging by the current situation, I think she's definitely going to break up with you.'
An Wuyang watched as Xia Yuqing sent one message after another, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
'An Wuyang: Should I praise you for being so spot-on?'
'Xia Yuqing: You two broke up?'
'An Wuyang: Not officially yet, but I don't think it makes a difference.'
Based on the messages Su Yueling had sent him earlier and the questions she'd asked, An Wuyang had already mentally accepted that they were broken up.
He just wasn't good at academics—it wasn't that he was stupid. How could he not notice something was off with Su Yueling?
