"Alright."

"Then let me confirm with you one last time, you're not joking, right?"

"If you just want to go and see it yourself, you don't need me to find friends. You can just go directly."

Su Yang spread his hands and smiled, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Actually, as Zhao Mengrou had said, Su Yang could go by himself. Finding someone else was just to get a bigger discount or some gifts.

But honestly, those weren't the most important things to him. He asked Zhao Mengrou to inquire because he wanted to quickly increase her affection for him.

This way, he could not only get more rewards but also advance their relationship further.

"Okay." Zhao Mengrou let out a breath and took out her phone.

"Then shall I ask for you now?"

"Sure. Let's set a time first. But we probably can't go today, I have to go out later."

"Let me ask first." Zhao Mengrou said, opening WeChat and starting to type.

While Su Yang waited, he got up and poured himself a glass of water.

Two minutes later, Zhao Mengrou put down her phone and looked at Su Yang, "I asked. My friend also took leave today. If you want to go, tomorrow or the day after are both fine. They work on weekends."

"Okay, then tomorrow at noon. I'll contact you then."

Zhao Mengrou stood up and smiled softly, "Okay, I'll wait for your message."

She said this, picked up her small leather bag, and prepared to leave. However, she still felt a bit uneasy and reminded Su Yang, "I've already spoken to them about this, okay? Don't stand me up."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Su Yang grinned.

"Then it's fine. I'm leaving."

Zhao Mengrou said and no longer hesitated, walking towards the main entrance.

"Take care, Sister Zhao," Su Yang called out from behind, waving with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Mengrou suddenly turned around and said with a serious expression, "Stop calling me Sister Zhao all the time. Do I look that old?"

"Uh, then what should I call you, Mengrou? That doesn't seem quite right either, does it?" Su Yang scratched his head.

"What's not right about it? Call me that from now on. Don't call me 'sister' so much, you're making me sound old."

"Uh, okay, as long as you don't mind."

"I don't mind. I'm leaving." Zhao Mengrou smiled sweetly and turned to leave.

After she left, Su Yang sank onto the sofa, feeling relaxed and content. He had never felt so happy and confident in his life.

He had been completely relaxed and composed throughout his conversation with Zhao Mengrou just now. If it were before, he might not have even been able to speak properly when chatting with such a beautiful woman.

He had only exchanged simple greetings with Zhao Mengrou before.

As expected, men need money to have confidence, at least most men do.

[Ding! Zhao Mengrou's affection for the host has increased to 30 (Acquaintance)]

The system's voice suddenly sounded.

Su Yang flinched instinctively, "Damn, you scared me."

He still hadn't quite gotten used to the system's sudden voice, but to him, it was a very pleasant sound.

"It increased to 30 in such a short time? Not bad, not bad." Su Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Right, System, show me my current stats."

[Host: Su Yang] [Age: 24] [Height: 180cm] [Weight: 73kg] [Appearance: 88] [Physique: 65] [Physique: 90] [Charm: 90] [Skills: Body Management Master] [Bound Target: Zhao Mengrou] [Balance: ¥]

Su Yang looked at the virtual screen in front of him. His Appearance, Physique, and Charm attributes had all been updated.

Appearance increased from 84 to 88, which was fine. He was naturally handsome, but due to work, he didn't take much care of himself, making him look quite ordinary.

The most significant increase was in Physique and Charm, which both jumped by 20 points.

Before acquiring the Body Management Master, both of these attributes were only at 70, making them very ordinary.

Now that his physique and charm had both increased to 90, coupled with his 88-rated appearance, he could barely imagine how high the turnaround rate would be when he walked down the street.

After a moment of quiet pride, Su Yang went into the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into a simple and sharp outfit.

He planned to do a little shopping and buy himself some things he couldn't afford before.

He needed to get some LV, after all, now that he had money, he had to keep up with his clothing and appearance.

This wasn't to say that ordinary clothes weren't good-looking or of poor quality.

An LV T-shirt cost five or six thousand, seven or eight thousand, some even one or two thousand. Was it really that much better than a T-shirt that cost one or two hundred?

Not necessarily. To put it bluntly, it wasn't worth the price, but many people were still willing to spend the money.

Why?

It was all for face, to inadvertently display one's wealth, and to subtly show off.

Another point was that for most rich people, tens of thousands of yuan really wasn't a lot of money. They spent it without a second thought.

The previous Su Yang couldn't understand this because he was too poor.

At that time, he even had a bit of resentment towards the rich, thinking that those wealthy people who bought clothes worth tens of thousands were idiots and just showing off.

But when he could actually afford it, his mindset changed.

Soon, Su Yang picked up the Porsche car keys from the table and pushed open the door to walk out.

He was already eager to see his new car.

After walking a few steps downstairs, Su Yang saw a brand new 992 Silver-Grey Turbos parked about ten meters away.

His eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly grabbed the car keys and pressed the unlock button.

As soon as he pressed it, the car lights flashed.

"Damn! So cool!!"

Su Yang jumped up on the spot, then quickly ran towards the car.

The 911 Turbos wasn't a flashy sports car. Compared to supercars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, or McLarens, it was quite low-key, like a well-behaved, model student.

But when it came to a real showdown, comparing speeds, it could be very powerful.

This was why Su Yang liked it. It was low-key yet still allowed him to show off.

The saying "subtle showing off is the most deadly" meant exactly this.

Moreover, it was a Porsche after all. Just the badge alone could attract countless beautiful women to strike up a conversation.

As everyone knows, Porsches come with a built-in "pretty girl passenger" feature.

Su Yang excitedly pulled open the car door and plopped himself inside.

As soon as he sat down, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! Detected that the host's driving skills are very rusty. An additional Professional Race Car Driver Skill is being gifted to the host.]

Su Yang was stunned, then chuckled.

"System, you're truly my dad!"

"So thoughtful."

Indeed, if the system hadn't given him this skill, he might not have even known how to start this car.

After all, he only had a "wallet driver's license." He hadn't driven a car since getting his license during college.

Let alone a sports car worth several million.

After acquiring the new skill, Su Yang's mind was instantly filled with numerous driving techniques and a profound sense of familiarity with the vehicle. It felt like a professional race car driver sitting in a regular car, handling it with ease.

Su Yang smiled as he carefully examined the interior. The interior was his preferred grey and black, and every optional feature was perfectly to his taste. It seemed the system had conducted a deep scan of him from the very beginning.

He couldn't wait to test the car's ferocious performance.

As soon as he twisted the ignition knob to the left of the steering wheel.

Vroom—

The engine immediately let out a furious roar.

Su Yang's face flushed, and he felt an indescribable excitement.

"One of my dream cars, got it!"
