Continuous Harvest

After picking up the Bentley, Zhang Yang didn't forget the other highlight of the day.

The newly acquired task: Skincare starts with cleansing the skin.

There were two rewards for the task.

Zhang Yang truly didn't care about some skin optimization; he wasn't a woman, so why would he need fair skin? Did it really think he was some male god described in a romance novel, with skin as crystalline as jade?

Regardless, he was quite satisfied with his current skin condition.

However, he did need the other reward: three experience points.

With these three experience points, he could immediately level up to four and enjoy the thrill of a 50,000 daily return.

Moreover, leveling up usually came with a level-up gift package.

He just didn't know if the system would be generous enough this time to reward him with a house in Magic City.

Saving up on his own wouldn't be a big deal; at a rate of 50,000 a day, he could afford a river-view flat in a few years, but if he could save those few years of time, why not?

Inside Global Harbor, Zhang Yang headed straight for Watsons.

He didn't understand skincare or cleansing, but the young ladies at Watsons certainly did.

"Do you have any facial cleansers that are particularly good at cleaning? Please recommend one." Zhang Yang called over a store clerk.

"Then you must try this one." Seeing a tall, handsome man, the clerk recommended it with a sweet voice and an excellent attitude.

A moment later, Zhang Yang borrowed a space in the store to give it a try.

The foam of the amino acid cleanser was gentle.

Although it lacked the icy, refreshing sensation of his previous cleansers, it seemed there was indeed something different about it.

Ding!

A series of system notifications in his mind forced Zhang Yang to focus his attention.

Task: Skincare starts with cleansing the skin (Completed)

Task Reward 1: Three experience points

Task Reward 2: Primary skin quality optimization (Pending collection)

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for reaching level four.

Current level: Level four (0/50)

Current daily cashback: 50,000

You have a pending level-up gift package.

This wave of rewards was instantly refreshing, leaving Zhang Yang feeling invigorated from head to toe.

After a month of hard work, starting from five years of fitness experience, the successive gains were simply dizzying.

Level four, which he had been looking forward to day and night for a month, was finally achieved at this moment as a matter of course.

It wasn't an overnight success, but the result of bit-by-bit accumulation.

Earning 50,000 a day could be considered the first small milestone since having the system.

It was worth celebrating.

As for the next level, he would be earning 100,000 a day; that would be a truly massive milestone, and there were still a full fifty experience points to go before leveling up.

To be honest, he really didn't have a direction on how to earn those fifty points.

"No rush, let's collect all the gains on hand first." Zhang Yang muttered to himself; in any case, after every harvest, he needed to digest it properly and calm his mood before fighting again.

First was the skin quality optimization.

Zhang Yang silently recited "collect" in his heart.

A wave of coolness washed over his skin, and then... nothing?

He walked into the restroom and found a mirror to take a good look.

Hiss? It was different.

Zhang Yang stood before the mirror, examining his own skin.

Compared to before, his complexion was fairer and more delicate; even looking closely, it was hard to find any flaws. While not exactly flawless, his overall skin condition had improved by a significant margin.

In terms of appearance, the mere fact that his skin had become fairer could significantly boost his looks, and at this moment, Zhang Yang's current skin condition undoubtedly elevated his attractiveness even further.

His physique was already at its peak, and now his looks had reached a new level as well.

Although Zhang Yang had just been saying he didn't care about skin and that a guy just needed a decent hide, now, facing skin that could hide a hundred uglinesses with its fairness, he couldn't help but exclaim that it was truly worth it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

No wonder girls always say they like those boys with fair skin and a youthful vibe; so that was why.

Zhang Yang thought about himself, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist like a Greek god; hmm... a youth's physique is usually quite thin, so it looked like he wouldn't be becoming that kind of boy in a white shirt in this lifetime.

The only thing he had going for him was probably this fair skin.

Zhang Yang never dreamed that his thick-skinned self would one day possess such fair, flawless skin.

"Right, claim the level-up gift pack."

Zhang Yang hadn't forgotten about his level-up gift pack; it was a staple of every level-up, and this time, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.

He truly hoped to pull a house.

As someone with deeply traditional values, a house was always synonymous with putting down roots.

As long as he didn't own a home and was still renting in the Magic City, it meant he hadn't truly taken root in this land.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining one 10% discount real estate voucher, with a total property value cap not exceeding 100 million.

Zhang Yang savored the prize from the gift pack, his excitement tempered by a nagging feeling that something was off.

He had gained something, yet it felt as if he had gained nothing at all.

The item was certainly a good one.

A house with a total value of up to 100 million! 100 million!

What kind of house could 100 million buy in the Magic City?!

Forget about those super-luxury mansions worth hundreds of millions; those were for the ultra-wealthy. A 100-million-yuan property was enough to overlook the Huangpu River, enjoy the shifting clouds and gentle breeze, and was something countless people dreamed of their entire lives but could only ever look up to.

Zhang Yang was just a young man from a small town; if he could own such a mansion, wouldn't that be an instant leap to the top?

Looking at it this way, this 10% discount real estate voucher was an absolute steal.

But even using the voucher, he would still have to pay ten million in cold, hard cash. Calculating his current savings, there was still a significant gap. As for selling his car and watch to cover it, that was completely unnecessary.

That left only one path.

Grind! Level up as fast as possible.

After all, with a daily income of 50,000, saving up several million would take months. But what if his daily income reached 100,000? The difficulty would drop significantly.

Thinking about how a mansion worth over 100 million was no longer so far out of reach, Zhang Yang felt a surge of heat in his chest.

That was a mansion worth over 100 million!

A true leap in social class was already within his grasp.

As for today?

Zhang Yang stood in Global Harbor, savoring the joy of his 50,000-yuan daily income.

"Right, since I'm in a good mood, why not pick out a bag for Bei Wei?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

He had seen that Coach bag of hers, worth a few thousand, many times, and he could tell that Bei Wei cherished it dearly.

But looking at the photo of Bei Wei and Gu Jiani from the other day, the contrast was stark.

Gu Jiani was decked out in luxury brands, while the most expensive thing on Bei Wei was that entry-level luxury bag.

When the two stood together, although Bei Wei's beauty ensured she wasn't overshadowed, the bag in her hand definitely paled in comparison.
