"Vroooom, vroooom, vroooom—"
The roar of supercars thundered down the road.
Upon hearing the thunderous engine, every passerby took out their phones and started filming.
"Holy shit, th-this is a Bugatti Veyron? It has to cost forty or fifty million at least. What a rich guy."
"Forty or fifty million? You're thinking too small. I just looked it up—this is the world's only limited-edition top-tier supercar. It costs three hundred million!"
Hiss—
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone nearby sucked in a sharp breath.
Three hundred million, just for a sports car?!
It had to be said that ordinary people simply could not understand the world of the rich.
Not only the pedestrians, but even the other cars on the road slammed on their brakes when they saw the supercar passing by, leaving enough space for three cars between themselves and it.
They did so to stay far away from such a luxury car. They did not want to accidentally scratch or bump into it.
"What are you doing? Couldn't you at least warn me before slamming on the brakes? I almost smashed my face into something."
A beautiful woman in one of the cars spoke to the driver, who happened to be her boyfriend.
"If I hadn't braked, was I supposed to wait until I became a beggar?"
"A beggar? If your driving sucks, just admit it. Stop trying to scare me. Isn't it just a sports car? At most, it's worth one or two million. Our car insurance covers five million, so what if we hit it?"
The man looked at her mockingly. "Five million? Do you know what kind of car that is?"
"Forget five million. Even if your insurance coverage were multiplied tenfold to fifty million, you still couldn't afford to compensate for it."
"This is the world's only limited-edition Bugatti Veyron!"
"Bugatti Veyron? Is it expensive?" the woman asked in confusion.
"Is it expensive? Ordinary Bugatti Veyrons cost at most forty or fifty million, but this one is the world's only limited edition. It costs a full three hundred million!"
At that point, the woman could no longer remain calm. A three-hundred-million car—if they hit it, forget becoming beggars. Even beggars would be beyond their reach.
After parking his car, Lin Chen headed straight into the mall.
However, not long after entering the commercial center, he ran into someone he deeply resented—his ex-girlfriend, Liu Wei.
At that moment, Liu Wei was flirting intimately with her new boyfriend inside a watch store.
"Darling, I want this watch."
Liu Wei clung to the man and coquettishly pleaded with him.
Seeing the price of the watch, the man frowned slightly but still nodded.
A two-hundred-thousand watch was expensive, but it was still within his means.
"Fine, this one. You'd better serve me well later," the man said with a lewd grin.
"You're so naughty!"
Just like that, amid Liu Wei's coquettish voice, the two-hundred-thousand watch was bought and placed on her wrist.
Her eyes were filled with the satisfaction of vanity.
Lin Chen, Lin Chen, thank goodness I left you. Otherwise, I'd never get to wear such an expensive watch in this lifetime.
Just as Liu Wei was smugly thinking this, she caught sight of someone walking toward them from nearby.
She thought she was seeing things, but when the person came closer, she finally saw clearly.
"Lin Chen? What are you doing here?"
Before Lin Chen could speak, Liu Wei continued, "I get it. You must still be unable to let me go, so you came begging to get back together."
"But let me tell you, there's no way we're getting back together. A poor loser like you is destined to be single for the rest of your life."
"See this? My new boyfriend just bought it for me. Do you know how much it costs? A full two hundred thousand. Even if you worked yourself to death, you still wouldn't be able to afford a watch like this in your lifetime."
After saying that, Liu Wei deliberately showed off the watch she had just put on, proving how correct she had been to leave Lin Chen.
The commotion had already drawn a crowd. When they heard Liu Wei say that the watch cost two hundred thousand, they were all astonished.
"Two hundred thousand? Damn, this watch costs two hundred thousand? That's way too extravagant."
"Of course. It's a Rolex—the aristocrat of watches. It may not be the very best, but it's still not something ordinary people like us can afford."
"As expected of a Super Tycoon from Zhonghai. He casually spends two hundred thousand. That's enough for us ordinary folks to work and save for years."
They were all ordinary people who had come here to eat and drink, and only incidentally to see the luxury goods that only rich people could afford.
Listening to the passersby's discussion, Liu Wei's new boyfriend looked even more smug and proud.
Although this two-hundred-thousand luxury watch was nothing remarkable among high-end watches, there were only a handful of people in Zhonghai's circles who could afford one.
Being able to buy a two-hundred-thousand luxury watch before turning thirty made him one of the elite.
Lin Chen sneered. "Looking for you? Why would I look for a worn-out woman like you?"
"Isn't it just a two-hundred-thousand watch? What's so impressive about it? It's not like I can't afford one."
"You..." Liu Wei immediately flew into a rage when she heard Lin Chen call her a worn-out woman.
However, when she heard Lin Chen belittle the two-hundred-thousand watch on her wrist, her anger vanished completely, replaced by a lofty, superior attitude.
"Just two hundred thousand? Lin Chen, take a look at yourself. Your entire outfit probably doesn't even cost two hundred, yet you have the nerve to stand here and say it's just two hundred thousand?"
"If you have what it takes, go buy one. Aren't you afraid the wind will sprain your tongue from all that boasting?"
Clearly, Liu Wei did not believe Lin Chen at all and thought he was just bragging.
"Ding! It has been detected that the Host has been humiliated. A mission is now being issued: slap the ex-girlfriend in the face. Rewards will be granted based on the degree of mission completion." "Note: To ensure that the Host can successfully slap her in the face, the system has gifted a temporary unlimited-balance bank card. It can only be used during this mission and is invalid for all other purposes."
"A mission? I wonder whether Liu Wei can withstand the anger that's about to come her way," Lin Chen said coldly before going downstairs and hailing a taxi.
Lin Chen froze for a moment, then sneered and walked straight in.
"How much is the most expensive watch here?"
"Hello, sir. The most expensive watch in our store costs ten million."
Although the saleswoman did not believe Lin Chen could afford it, company training required her to greet every customer with a smile.
"So cheap? Swipe the card."
Lin Chen took out the temporary unlimited-balance card given to him by the system and handed it directly to the saleswoman.
Now it was the saleswoman's turn to be stunned.
"Y-you're sure?"
"Is there a problem?" Lin Chen asked.
"N-no problem. I'll process it for you right away."
The saleswoman took the bank card to swipe it, half-believing and half-doubting.
However, Liu Wei laughed.
"Lin Chen, I never expected you to be so good at acting. I didn't realize you had that talent."
Clearly, she did not believe even two hundred percent that Lin Chen was going to buy a ten-million watch.
What a joke. I was with you for three years. How could I not know exactly how much money you had?
Yet not long after she sneered, the saleswoman returned.
Only now, the saleswoman's face was filled with respect.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. It is an honor to serve a distinguished guest like you."
"Here is the watch you purchased. Would you like us to wrap it up for you, or would you prefer to wear it directly?"
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The passersby who had been waiting to see Lin Chen make a fool of himself all sucked in cold breaths.
They had never imagined that the seemingly ordinary man had truly bought a ten-million luxury watch.
