Double the Happiness (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The night was growing late. After returning to his apartment, Zhang Yang sent a quick message to Xiong Yaqian to let her know he had arrived home safely.

"Good, good, as long as you're home. By the way, what do you usually like to do in your free time?" To his surprise, Xiong Yaqian was still in the mood to chat, stubbornly finding topics to keep Zhang Yang engaged for a while longer.

Zhang Yang offered a few perfunctory replies before making an excuse to shower, at which point she finally said goodnight, sounding somewhat reluctant to end the conversation.

Time to check the loot. At this moment, Zhang Yang had been holding back for quite a while.

First, the two rewards for completing the mission.

The first was five experience points. With these five points, Zhang Yang's level rose directly to three, and his current daily cashback had reached a staggering twenty thousand.

Double the happiness! Zhang Yang was instantly immersed in the joy of an annual income of 7.3 million.

Over seven million a year! If he were back in his hometown, earning this much in pure profit would make him a bona fide big boss, a cut above the rest. He could have villas, sports cars—after a few years of grinding, he'd have it all.

Even in Magic City, this was well beyond the scope of an average wage earner; he was at least on par with the high-level executives of major corporations.

Zhang Yang let out a soft breath and claimed the second reward.

Height increased by two centimeters.

He stood before the mirror, witnessing with his own eyes as his height jumped from 1.76 meters to 1.78 meters.

Two centimeters was actually quite insignificant.

However, his entire appearance felt completely different because of those two centimeters.

Zhang Yang genuinely felt that his physique in the mirror looked more slender and leaner, and his facial features even seemed more defined. According to the conservation of energy, it must have been because his height changed while his weight remained at 140 jin.

140 jin at 1.76 meters and 140 jin at 1.78 meters were two completely different things.

When will I reach 1.8 meters? Just like how all guys are particularly sensitive when people say they are 1.78 or 1.79 meters, Zhang Yang really hoped to hit 1.8 meters himself.

But height was something that had long since set for him; he couldn't change it through his own efforts. He could only hope that the system would add height-related rewards in the future to fulfill his 1.8-meter dream.

System, claim the gift pack! Zhang Yang thought to himself.

Every time he leveled up, there was a level-up gift pack, and this time was no exception.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony series ultra-thin perpetual calendar watch, valued at 700,000.

A watch? And a Vacheron Constantin at that?

Zhang Yang had actually been wanting to buy a watch for a long time, and that desire had only intensified after his daily income hit twenty thousand. How could a man's wrist be left bare?

He had planned to save up for ten or twenty days to buy a watch worth a few hundred thousand, but he hadn't expected the system to arrange it for him directly—and a 700,000-value Vacheron Constantin, no less. The system provided instructions on how to claim it: simply go to the designated store.

Just like that, he had the man's car and the man's watch all at once. As for the next step, that would likely be a house.

He just wondered if the system would arrange that for the next level-up.

Zhang Yang checked his current level: three.

He was twenty-four experience points away from level four. Once he reached level four, his daily cashback would reach an astonishing fifty thousand—a massive breakthrough. By then, his annual income would soar to over eighteen million.

Thinking of that day, Zhang Yang felt a burning sensation in his heart.

As for now?

Zhang Yang stretched his body, which was now two centimeters taller, and wantonly immersed himself in the joy of earning twenty thousand a day.

Waking up to twenty thousand every day naturally meant he was in a good mood all day long.

On Little Blue Book, many netizens were asking for updates.

"Brother, how did it go today?"

"I reckon it went smoothly. After all, your image improved so much thanks to the sisters' makeover. As long as you pay a little attention, there definitely won't be any problems."

"Exactly! With the eyes of so many of us girls providing comprehensive guidance, there's nothing you can't conquer!"

With everyone so expectant and enthusiastic, Zhang Yang naturally gave a reply right away.

"Everything went smoothly!"

How could it not? The mission was complete, and he had returned tonight with a full haul. As for the blind date itself, it was no longer important to him.

"Take a deep breath!"

"Brother, remember to strike while the iron is hot. But remember, definitely don't be a simp. Keep it light and leave them wanting more—that's the best approach."

"Right, right, just say goodnight tonight and call it a day."

Having never enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by girls in all his life, Zhang Yang had finally experienced it today. Wasn't this equivalent to having hundreds of girlfriends giving him advice the whole time? This feeling was truly beyond words.

The next morning, the first thing Zhang Yang did upon opening his eyes was check his balance. Sure enough, starting from midnight, the system had begun its daily cashback of twenty thousand.

Immersed in the joy of earning twenty thousand a day, Zhang Yang was in high spirits. Throughout his morning workout, he felt like he had an endless supply of energy. It was like this: carrying a hundred jin of rice would exhaust you to death, but if you were carrying a hundred jin of hundred-yuan bills, would you ever hear anyone complain about being tired?

After arriving at the office in the morning, Zhang Yang felt like he was walking on air the entire way.

"Holy crap!" As soon as he sat at his desk, Xiang Youde across from him exclaimed in shock. "No way, Zhang Yang, why do I feel like you've turned into a different person after just one weekend?"

He was left stuttering.

"What kind of change is it? Speak your mind." Zhang Yang encouraged with a smile, full of anticipation.

"The way you've dolled yourself up, it's actually, it's actually..." Xiang Youde's face flushed red. Though he was loath to say it, he still managed to choke out the words.

"It's actually starting to look handsome... damn it!"

How could he not be handsome?

From 1.76 meters to 1.78 meters, weighing 140 jin, with top-tier hair quality and a Hong Kong-style side-part that cost over a thousand to style, his forehead was a perfect replica of Bosco Wong, complemented by eyes optimized by the system.

The most crucial factor of all was the confidence brought by earning twenty thousand a day.

As long as a man is confident enough, that vibrant, spirited aura truly cannot be hidden.

"Morning, Brother Zhang!" Bei Wei was wearing a Chanel-style dress today and greeted him sweetly as she passed by.

Xiang Youde's gaze followed Bei Wei's retreating figure, only pulling back once she sat down.

"Zhang Yang, why do I feel like even Bei Wei's attitude toward you has changed? Is it just my imagination?" Xiang Youde asked, puzzled.

"What could be different? Isn't Bei Wei always sensible and well-mannered at the company? Who doesn't praise her for being polite?" Zhang Yang opened his computer and said nonchalantly, while taking a moment to reply to a few messages from Xiong Yaqian.

"Is that so?" Xiang Youde muttered to himself, scratching his thinning hair before diving into his work.

The morning's work passed without incident. Zhang Yang sipped his tea, his expression gradually becoming focused without him even realizing it.

Not far away, Bei Wei worked for a while before looking up out of boredom, and that was when she saw Zhang Yang working intently.

As she watched, her expression suddenly froze.

"The way Brother Zhang looks when he's focused, he's actually... actually kind of handsome?"

That clearly ordinary face now wore a look of concentration, and the eyes half-hidden behind the computer screen seemed unexpectedly profound as he focused.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was about to look up, Bei Wei quickly lowered her head, though a strange flutter had inexplicably sprouted in her heart.
