I’ll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Dagger Girl+3, Subsidiary Race

Su Yang opened his eyes when he heard that voice. He looked down and saw Dagger Girl hugging him.

She did not seem to have changed. She was still the size of an arm, and when she hugged his legs, she did not look as big as his own calf and looked very cute. However, unlike before, her hands and feet were no longer blades, but flesh and blood…

Su Yang lowered his head and sized her up. She looked no different from an ordinary little girl, just a lot smaller.

She was wearing a silvery-white dress which seemed to be made of fabric but had a metallic feel to it. Also, it was exceptionally sharp.

Su Yang asked Dagger Girl in surprise, “Sister Dagger Girl, have you… transformed?”

Dagger Girl nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, Brother Su Yang.”

She nodded and did not forget to raise her hand and extended her five fingers, indicating that she was now a “human” with actual arms and legs.

Su Yang reached out and shook her hand. It was cold but soft.

Su Yang was pleasantly surprised. ‘In the past, she would injure anyone who touched her hands or feet. However, I did not expect for her to become a normal being this time after adding a point onto her.

‘However… although she’s now a normal being, her eyes still haven’t opened. They’re still tightly shut and it’s obvious that she’s trying her best to open them, but her efforts are in vain…

‘Based on the extent of her transformation, I feel that I would need to add another point before I could completely open up her eyes.

‘I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s in Dagger Girl’s eyes.’

While Su Yang was deep in thought, Dagger Girl also started to play by the riverside. Ever since she was born, she had no limbs, no eyes, no way to see and no way to touch anything. It was like the whole world was a complete stranger to her.

Now that she finally had limbs of her own, she could finally play freely.

She was playing happily by the riverside. From time to time, she would use her small hands to create a splash and giggle. After laughing, she did not forget to turn around and shout at Su Yang, “Brother Su Yang! Is this water? So this is how it feels to touch it.”

Although Dagger Girl had taken a shower before, the feeling of the water running through her skin and her touching it with her own hands were completely different.

This was the first time in her life that she had touched water, and she could not help but get excited.

The whole backyard was filled with her giggles and splashes of water.

After she was done playing with water, Dagger Girl fell to the ground again. She touched the thick soil and grabbed a handful of soil. In her cajoling voice, she murmured, “Wow, so this is soil.”

Su Yang walked over to take a look. “What you’ve caught there is grassroots.”

“Oh…” Dagger Girl threw away the grass root and grabbed another handful of soil. She continued to exclaim,” Wow, so this is soil. ”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Forget it.

‘I’ll just forgive her since she’s a child.

‘After all, this was her first time seeing those things.’

Su Yang circled a few rounds around her, wanting to see what kind of ability Dagger Girl had obtained. However, after digging for a while, Dagger Girl suddenly stood up and spun around. Instantly, her silver clothes seemed to have turned into liquid and started to flow, followed by two lumps of silvery white liquid metal thrown onto the ground.

Su Yang was confused. ‘What is that?’

‘Dagger Girl’s clothes seem to be made of mercury, but could mercury be worn on her body? Would she not be poisoned?’

Just as he was thinking about that, something even more amazing happened. The two pools of liquid metal on the ground slowly turned into two monsters the size of a mouse.

Those creatures were silvery white in color. Their bodies shone with silver light and when they moved, it looked like a silver light was revolving around them.

Su Yang gently touched them and the silver color on the little monsters started to flow like mercury. A moment later, they turned back into two balls of silver liquid and hid behind Dagger Girl.

After hiding behind Dagger Girl, they slowly turned back into mice.

Su Yang looked at Dagger Girl curiously. “Sister Dagger Girl, what are those?”

Dagger Girl raised her head and “looked” at Su Yang. “Brother Su Yang, I don’t know either. I just feel like it’s an extension of my ability or my vassal. Anyway, it feels weird.”

“However, I do know their ability. Their bodies can transform into silvery-white liquid metal, their shapes can change and they can transform freely.

“As for the rest… I’m not too sure. They don’t even have names.”

At this point, Dagger Girl grinned and said, “Why don’t you give them a name, Brother Su Yang?”

Su Yang looked at the two little monsters that were hiding beside Dagger Girl’s feet. He thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we call them Quicksilver Monsters?”

Puzzled, Dagger Girl asked, “Why is it called a Quicksilver Monster?”

Su Yang replied without thinking, “Because they are silver in color. That’s why they are Quicksilver Monsters.”

Dagger Girl stroked her chin and thought for a long time before she said, “Brother Su Yang, this name sounds awful. Can you… change it? After all, I can’t see their colors.”

At the end of her speech, she sounded very cautious.

Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “Oh, sure. Let’s call it Quickgold Monsters then.”

Dagger was speechless.

‘Does… does he have to be so casual about it?’

She silently thought to herself. ‘But… Quickgold Monster doesn’t sound good either. But… at least it’s better than Quicksilver Monster. I’ll go with Quickgold Monster then.’

At that thought, Dagger Girl nodded her head. “Alright, Brother Su Yang. From now on, they will be called Quickgold Monsters!”

Su Yang patted Dagger Girl’s head, feeling that she was really cute.

‘If the other monsters in the house were half as easy to deal with like she is, then I would have saved myself a lot of trouble.’

Just as he was thinking about this, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind. [Dagger Girl +3, Change in form, talent changed to ability, obtained a subsidiary race (The level of race will increase as Dagger Girl’s level increases, currently +3)].

‘What?

‘I’ve seen her transformation and the birth of her subsidiary race. However, talent turning into an ability? What’s going on here?

Su Yang asked, “Sister Dagger Girl, has your talent changed?”

Dagger Girl shook her head in a faze. “I don’t know…”

‘Fine, I guess I’ll have to look at the system interface.’

Su Yang clicked on Dagger Girl’s talent panel. Instantly, Dagger Girl’s newly changed talent appeared before him.

‘Dagger Girl now has two talents. The first was her original talent, [The Sharp But Kind Dagger]. It could cut through anything but could only cause pain to living beings instead of causing any fatal damage.

‘The second talent is the [Quantum Overlap] where she could turn into nothingness or change into any form she wants. There’s no weight and no form. Hence, Once someone grabbed it and gave her special characteristics, she would follow and change her characteristics accordingly.

‘Now, her first talent, [The Sharp But Kind Dagger], has changed from being a talent to an ability.

‘In other words, Dagger Girl could freely control this talent?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang got Dagger Girl to try controlling on her own.

‘As expected, when Dagger Girl wants herself to have the [Sharp Characteristics], she would become sharp. As long as anyone touched her, they would feel the pain of “cut”.

‘However, if Dagger Girl did not use this ability, she would become a normal little girl again. Of course… The prerequisite was that Dagger Girl needed to grow a few times bigger since she was now the size of a doll.

‘Furthermore, there was a change to this talent’s characteristic.

‘In the past, when Dagger Girl’s hands and feet touched an object, it would trigger her [Sharp Characteristics], but now… her entire body has [Sharp Characteristics] built into her, it’s like she’s covered in invisible daggers.

‘I would definitely be at ease if Dagger Girl were my daughter. After all, no one could get close to her unless she allows it.’

However… Su Yang was able to confirm one of his thoughts. ‘There is a difference in potential among the little monsters.

‘Some monsters will have a very high boost in their capabilities after adding 1 point onto them. However, some didn’t seem to have any changes, Little Hus for example.

‘There are even some little monsters that could directly jump and become high level monsters just from adding 1 point onto them.

‘This is due to difference in potentials.

‘When I have more and more little monsters in the future, I could judge their potential through the first 2 points added before deciding whether to give them more points.

‘Since I’ve already added a point for Dagger Girl, I might as well make this week’s special item as well.

‘My procrastination disease is getting weaker. I should be able to get it cured soon.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the system store and took a look at the items in the store that week.

[Protection Talisman]*3

[Random Point]*0

[Driving License Of Unknown Ability]

Nothing.

‘There were 5 [Protection Talismans] and 1 [Random Point] previously. However, I already bought all of them in order to add a point for Dagger Girl.’

The third compartment contained the recipe for this week’s item.

‘[Driver’s License With Unknown Ability]?

‘What’s that?

‘This looks strange.

‘Could I be able to pilot a tank or a spaceship with this license?

‘However, even if I have the license, I haven’t got the transport anyway.

‘Am I supposed to use the sticky note and make the transport?’

As he complained, Su Yang clicked to see what he needed to craft the item, +1 item, 10 clumps of grass, 1 stalk of bamboo…

‘There aren’t too many things, but all of them looked weird.

‘What are all these for?

‘Am I making paper?

‘Or is it going to be like the previous item where I just begin to cook the ingredients directly without any pattern?’

Su Yang was confused.

He could not figure out the logic behind the ingredients required for the recipe. He stopped researching and left the virtual space, intending to go out to purchase some items…

Chapter 407: Be Careful When In Contact With Him

After exiting the virtual space, Su Yang went downstairs. However, before he left the neighborhood, he bumped into Qu Xuan, who was also walking out as well.

Qu Xuan was wearing short-sleeved sportswear that day and was holding a football in his hands. He still looked handsome as usual.

The only flaw to his handsomeness could be that he was humming a song. “There is no fragrance of flowers, no tree taller than me. I am a little wailing grass that no one cares about.”

Su Yang was speechless when he heard Qu Xuan’s song.

‘Is this person crazy?

‘Should I pretend not to know him?

‘Even though there were not many people in the residential area, singing like there was no one else around is too uncultured.

‘Of course… it would have been fine if he sang as well as I did. After all, it was a form of enjoyment. However, to sing as badly as he does is simply disturbing for others!’

Just as Su Yang was complaining, Qu Xuan noticed him as well.

The moment Qu Xuan saw Su Yang, his eyes lit up. He dashed over and wrapped his arms around Su Yang’s neck as he greeted him enthusiastically, “Hey! President! Long time no see! What a coincidence!”

Su Yang felt that his neck was about to break from Qu Xuan’s strangle. He quickly patted Qu Xuan’s hand and said, “Let go, let go. My neck’s about to be broken.”

Qu Xuan chuckled and let go before asking, “President, are you going out to play?”

Su Yang rubbed his sore neck and felt that it was a little weird for Qu Xuan to call him President.

After all, this nickname was used by Chuxia in the past.

‘In the past, Chuxia would always sweetly refer to me as “Mr. President” whenever she saw me. But now, Chuxia has changed that to “Mr. CEO”. I did not expect for this nickname to be taken over by Qu Xuan.’

As Su Yang was thinking, he said, “No, I’m just going out to buy something.”

Qu Xuan’s eyes lit up again. “What are you going out to buy? Is there something that I can help you with?”

Su Yang glanced at him. “Help? Can you help me pay then?”

Initially, Su Yang thought that anyone would back off at the mention of this topic. Unexpectedly, Qu Xuan did not seem to care at all. He said nonchalantly, “Sure. I can help you pay.”

Su Yang looked at him weirdly. [Heaven’s Eyes] judged his words to be true.

‘Is he being serious?

‘Does he really mean it?

‘What is he thinking?

‘Why can’t I understand what he’s thinking at all?

‘This guy is too mysterious. This is the kind of person that… I need to be careful when I’m interacting with him…

At that thought, Su Yang said, “After thinking about it, I think I would rest easier if I spent my own money. Let’s leave it at that. Thank you.”

Su Yang walked past Qu Xuan and walked out of the neighborhood.

After taking a few steps, Qu Xuan caught up with him again. He brightly smiled and his teeth shone brighter than the sun. “By the way, Mr. President, should we recruit some new students for the new semester for our society?”

Su Yang glanced at him. “I think… we should.”

Qu Xuan’s eyebrows twitched. “I feel that I can shoulder this responsibility. I’m going to be welcoming the new students this year so I feel that I can help to scout for some pretty girls for our society.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘Is there any connection between recruiting and scouting for pretty female students?’

Looking at Qu Xuan’s cheeky face, Su Yang really wanted to use the word ‘wretched’ on him. However… he could not bring it upon himself to do it.

‘Qu Xuan is the kind of person who’s so handsome, you can’t pin any negative description on him.

‘Despite using a wretched tone, despite having a wretched expression, all of those would cease to exist thanks to his handsome face.

‘Anyone would feel that he is a “straightforward” and “handsome” person, so long as he doesn’t speak…’

Su Yang sighed. ‘I would have been able to avoid a lot of troubles if I had his looks. Should I create a special item that could change my looks someday?

‘When the time comes, I’ll change faces with Qu Xuan and go flirt around with others. Nonsense! I’ll be doing all sorts of good deeds anonymously…’

Glancing at Qu Xuan’s face enviously, Su Yang asked, “When are you going to welcome the new students?”

Qu Xuan stuck out his fingers and counted. “Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday… I’ll be going all week.”

Su Yang was confused.

“Is there a need to go for so many days?”

Qu Xuan grinned as bright as the Sun. “Who knows, I might be able to meet my true love on either day?”

Su Yang laughed.

‘Jerk.’

Su Yang could not be bothered with this guy whose mind was only filled with women. He continued walking towards the supermarket.

In the end, Qu Xuan continued to follow Su Yang and chatted with him continuously. However, it was not known if was on his way or he followed Su Yang intentionally. Furthermore, he even went to the supermarket and picked up Su Yang’s things for him.

In the end, Su Yang managed to get everything he needed with his help.

When they were settling the bill, Qu Xuan truly intended to pay, but Su Yang rejected his offer.

After he was done buying his items, Su Yang thought that Qu Xuan would continue following him. Unexpectedly, Qu Xuan said goodbye to him and went to school to play soccer.

According to him, their soccer team was supposed to be training before school started but he had been delaying it for a long time.

Su Yang was confused. ‘Then why did you accompany me for half an hour just now? Bonding session?

‘I can’t figure it out. I don’t think that a good man like me should be affiliating myself with a jerk like him.

‘I feel like all my tendencies of being a jerk have all been influenced by him.

‘Yeap… Qu Xuan is the one to be blamed.’

When he reached home, Su Yang put the things down and started preparing to produce the special item.

He opened the system store and clicked on [Driving License With Unknown Ability]. Immediately, a video of the production process for the recipe appeared before him.

Su Yang watched the entire video.

‘It feels…

‘Quite tedious.’

He fixed the video guide before his eyes. After confirming that there were no problems, he clicked [Produce].

As he clicked [Produce], a small table appeared in front of Su Yang out of thin air with a thud.

On the table, there was a pressure cooker, a sieve, a few planks, and a pile of other things…

Su Yang did not proceed to produce the item in a rush. He went upstairs to retrieve the fragments of the Little Monster Beans as well as the grass and the bamboo that he had collected into the pressure cooker, added water and boiled them.

‘This pressure cooker seems to be the same pressure cooker that I used to cook the pork shoulder previously. It even smells like pork shoulder inside. Does the system even know how to recycle items?’

There were still 2 buttons on the pressure cooker as usual and it started after Su Yang pressed [On].

After the pressure cooker started, Su Yang began waiting patiently.

After waiting for a while, he felt a little bored, so he sat down on the sofa and sent Mr. Shen a WeChat message to ask him about the loan.

Su Yang texted him, ‘Mr. Shen, have you settled my 50 million yuan loan?’

Su Yang honestly felt that he was being a little annoying as he sent the text message.

‘I was the one who hung up the phone on him and said that I would not be accepting any other conditions, yet now I’m asking him about the status instead. I’m definitely asking for it since I seem like I’m provoking him on purpose!

‘If I were Mr. Shen, I would probably be very furious when I read the message!’

As expected, not long after Su Yang sent the message, he received a notification. [The other party is no longer one of your friends. Please add the other party into your friendlist first.]

Su Yang was speechless.

‘I’ve been deleted.

‘Alright, I guess I really angered this person the other time.

‘However, I really don’t care.

‘I’m not afraid of anything, I have my special item!

‘That didn’t seem to rhyme…

…

Just as Su Yang had expected, Mr. Shen was experiencing the most peculiar day in his career.

As the manager of the bank credit department, Mr. Shen actually had a lot of connections. Even though he had not taken the initiative to improve his sales, he had still helped quite a number of people. This was the advantage that naturally comes with a big company.

Especially since he was working in a big bank, many companies had begged him for a loan. Because of that, Mr. Shen had connections with people from various backgrounds.

Previously, he had been too lazy to utilise it, but now he began to tap into his connections, he realized that it was terrifying.

Many companies had received Mr. Shen’s saying that he would be relaxing the terms of their loans. Therefore, each and everyone of them began to contact him.

Mr. Shen was a little overwhelmed at first as he received calls after calls. He was completely over the moon. After all, the more companies that came to contact him, the more money he could get.

But very soon, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

When he received the emails from those companies that had called him, he realized that most companies were not eligible to receive a loan. In fact, some companies don’t even have mortgages to be used and were just trying their luck.

‘What’s going on?’

After analyzing for about an hour, Mr. Shen came to a conclusion, ‘The highly eligible customers have already had their loans approved a long time ago, hence there was no need for them to take advantage of the more lenient loan terms.

‘Therefore, 70% of the people who came to ask for loans were companies who normally wouldn’t be able to get their loans approved while 20% of them were those who were at the final stages of getting their loans approved which I could probably try getting it approved. As for the remaining 10%, they’re all scams.’

‘I remember a company that had applied for a 20 million yuan loan with 100% share of their company as mortgage. However, the company literally had nothing aside from a few employees.

’20 million yuan for a shell company? If that wasn’t a scam, what was?’

At the thought of this, Mr. Shen could not help but think of Su Yang again. ‘Well, it’s just a lousy film company with only one movie, yet they’re planning to apply for a 50 million yuan loan. Do they really think that they own the bank?’

He shook his head and started his preliminary screening. After the selection, he gave it to his subordinates to commence their investigations. If there were no problems, they could submit it to the Risk Assessment Department to assess the risks involved.

‘If those could still be approved, I could start releasing their loans.

‘Normally speaking, the process wouldn’t be so fast. However, I’m currently lacking in projects, so I’m definitely going to urge the management to review and release the funds as soon as possible.’

As the number of phone calls became less frequent, Mr. Shen had more time to think. ‘It’s almost the end of August, that means it’s also the time for the half-yearly report to be released. I’m guessing that my poor performance has been noticed by the higher-ups, even Director Zhao can’t help him this time.

‘However, as long as I can close more sales as soon as possible, it would be enough for me to catch up before the year-end report is released.

‘As for Su Yang’s 50 million yuan loan… No way. Does he really think that I won’t be able to survive without him? Not only did he dare to hang up on me, he even had so little collateral to put up? Dream on!

‘I told him to put Jiadian Technology as his collateral, yet he insisted on mortgaging his film company. Only an idiot would get his loan approved!’

As he thought about this, Mr. Shen felt like he was floating. He could not help but secretly take out a small glass bottle from the drawer. Then, he looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him before he lowered his head and took a sip.

“Ah ~” Mr. Shen raised his head comfortably. He felt really good. ‘Wine really is a previous thing…’

…

At that moment, Su Yang did not know that Mr. Shen’s heart was racing. He knew that his item had finished cooking when he saw a green tick before his eyes…

‘It’s time to get it out of the cooker.’

Chapter 408: Unrestricted Driver’s License

After completing the first step, Su Yang opened the pressure cooker and realized that the fragments of the Little Monster Beans, bamboo and grass had all turned into a pot of glue… or rather… paper pulp?

Su Yang followed the system’s instructions and scooped out the sticky liquid from the pressure cooker before cooling it down.

When the paper pulp had cooled down, Su Yang scooped the paper pulp onto the sieve.

Then, he picked up the sieve and started to shake it. Soon, the excess water from the pulp was siphoned out until only a thin layer of paper pulp was left on the sieve.

Su Yang scooped another spoonful of paper pulp and continued to pour it onto the sieve.

He repeated this procedure 5 to 6 times continuously until all that’s left from the paper pulp was basically the thickness of a piece of paper.

When he was done, he turned the paper pulp upside down onto the wooden board, clamped it tight with another wooden board and flattened it. Then, he squeezed the remaining moisture out.

After he was done, Su Yang picked up the hairdryer and started blowing on the half-dried paper.

Soon… a piece of paper that looked yellowed and ragged was done…

‘Can this even be considered to be paper?’

Su Yang was confused.

However, when he saw the green tick on the system interface and felt. ‘I think it should be paper.’

Then, he repeated the entire production process and made about 10 more pieces of the ragged paper.

When he had accumulated 10 pieces of it, he stacked them together and used the stapler to staple them together. A booklet of sorts was produced.

After he was done stapling the booklet, a system notification appeared in his mind. [Item production completed. Please submit the produced item.]

‘That’s it?’

Su Yang took a glance at the uniquely shaped booklet and felt that he had cheated.

‘Can this even be considered to be completed?

‘Why don’t I try this again! I could get it done better!

However, It was a pity that Su Yang did not have the materials to produce the whole thing from scratch, so that was out of the question.’

However, looking at the paper on the table, Su Yang suddenly had a bad premonition. ‘The latest recipes from this lousy system seem to be related to producing items by hand in real life.

‘I’ve cooked pork shoulders, made handmade lipstick and produced some models. Now, I’ve even made paper…

‘Could the system be planning to throw me onto some deserted island in exile?

‘Is that why it’s making me learn how to produce a wide variety of items? So that I could survive on a deserted island?

‘That can’t be right… Without the Little Monster Bean fragments, the paper pulp could not have been made so easily, could it?

‘This is so strange…’

After thinking for a while, Su Yang realized that he could not figure out what the system was up to. He could only gather his thoughts and clicked [Submit].

Three notifications popped up in front of him:

[Incomplete materials detected]

[Precious materials detected.]

[The special items will give birth to additional abilities, talent or more unknown changes. Confirm to submit?]

Su Yang clicked [Confirm].

Suddenly, the completed booklet, the wooden boards, the pressure cooker, and all the other items disappeared into thin air with a bang.

Moments later, a small booklet that looked like a driver’s license appeared out of thin air and fell onto the ground with a thud.

Su Yang bent down and examined the driver’s license. He realized that the cover of the booklet was no different from his own driver’s license.

He went to the study room and took out his driver’s license. He placed it beside the special item and realized that the materials for the cover of the two items were exactly the same. The only difference was that Su Yang’s driver’s license wrote, [Motor Vehicle Driver’s License], while the special item had the words [Unrestricted Driver’s License] on it.

‘[Unrestricted Driver’s License]?

‘What is this?’

Su Yang did not open to check its contents because he did not dare to touch it, Su Yang could not open it. Therefore, even though he was curious, he could only return to the sofa and patiently wait for the system interface to appear.

As he waited, Su Yang felt a little bored. He went online to check his TikTok and realized that he had over 20 million followers.

‘It seems like I’ve been neglecting my fans recently… Should I record an advertisement for them to watch?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang put on his mask and recorded a short clip in the living room. The content of the video was basically to recommend everyone to watch his movie, “Fighting The Buddha”.

After he was done recording, Su Yang took a snippet of “Downhill”, a song that he sang that night together with the clip.

His intention was simple. Watch the movie after his fans listened to his song, the best of both worlds.

“Downhill” was one of Su Yang’s cover songs. That night, he felt that the song sounded nice, so he learned it once and sang it.

Recently, in TikTok’s comments section, some people began to suspect that he only knew how to sing covers and did not know how to compose his own songs. However, Su Yang could not even be bothered with them. ‘If I had the ability to compose and write the lyrics of my own song, I wouldn’t have to rely on the system. Furthermore, singers were originally divided between ordinary singers and cover singers.

‘Although there’s a gap between the two in the music industry and the history of music, but… I’m not part of the industry!

‘I’m merely singing just for the fun of it.

‘Could you ask Ma Yun to act and win the Best Actor award?

‘Isn’t that just ridiculous?’

Hence, Su Yang continued to sing as he pleased.

After editing the video, Su Yang uploaded it onto TikTok. He wanted to see if he could increase the popularity of his movie.

After almost a month since the movie was released, “Fighting The Buddha” was starting to show signs of losing its popularity. The box office for a single day had already dropped to 300,000 yuan. Therefore, Su Yang wanted to give it another boost.

‘After all, no matter how good I sang on TikTok, it’s still difficult to earn money.

‘However… I’ll be able to receive money every time a person watches a movie!”‘

After Su Yang was done with everything on hand, an interface finally showed up from the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] which was on the floor.

[Special Item, Unrestricted Driver’s License]

Ability: When you have this driver’s license, you are able to unlock the affinity system of the living being who is of the same species as yourself. When your affinity reaches 100, you will be able to activate the “Drive” mode.

Restriction 1: This license can only be used once during the first day of each month. You may only unlock the affinity system of one living being.

Restriction 2: This item is effective towards the same gender as well.

Restriction 3: The increase in affinity has nothing to do with this item. Please upgrade it on your own.

Note 1: Charge! Young man!

Note 2: There really won’t be any limit once your affinity reaches 100…

Note 3: Press “F” to enter the tank, “E” to fire.

Note 4: Let me drive your car.

Note 5: I wish to drive you…

After reading the description of the driver’s license on the floor, Su Yang could only say, ‘What the hell is this?!

‘There are 5 notes!

‘It’s even more than the ability’s introduction on its own.’

Su Yang hid the notes and re-read the ability again. Then, he felt, ‘This seems very useful.

‘I’ve noticed that I’ve been able to unlock the affinity of others ever since Silver points came into play. However, I’ve never been able to use it since I cannot bear to spend my Silver points on it.

‘Then, I’ve obtained [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] which allows me to increase the affinity of others. However, it was a pity that I did not have any items that could unlock the affinity system.

‘Because of this, I’ve been looking at the system shop over the past few days, hoping to see if I’m able to purchase a voucher that could unlock affinity which yielded no results.

‘Now, I’ve finally obtained a special item that could unlock affinity. This feels really good.

‘In that case, I could at least use this item to unlock the affinity of others. Then, I would be able to increase the affinity of others!

‘Right now, I know of two methods to increase affinity points. The first is by using [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] which allows me to increase 10 affinity points.

‘The other method is by using [Random Point].

‘There was a hint previously when I was using the Silver point that I could increase affinity by using [Random Point]. However, I have no idea how many points can be increased per use.

‘I could give it a try when I’ve got enough money.

After half a month of accumulation, he had a few thousand coins, meaning that he had the capital to begin his experiments.

Su Yang picked up the driver’s license from the ground and opened it. To his surprise, it was no different from a normal driver’s license with a picture of himself inside, including his birthday, age, address and so on. However, on the column that said [Permitted vehicle models], the word “human” was written beside it.

The record on the second page was also different.

The second page of a normal driver’s license should be a record of the probation period, but the second page of [Unrestricted Driver’s License] was a record of “Affinity” instead.

‘From the looks of it, it seems like the person whose affinity I have unlocked will appear here.’

Su Yang took another look at the ability introduction of [Unrestricted Driver’s License] and realized. ‘This driving license was similar to [Burning Reincarnation Circus] and [Lucky Disfiguring Brick]. They could all be used once a month only.

‘However, the difference is that the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] can only be used after the countdown ended.

‘[Burning Reincarnation Circus] is available on the 15th day of every month.

‘[Unrestricted Driver’s License] can only be used on the 1st day of every month.

‘In other words, it’s the end of August now. Once I use this, it will be refreshed on the 1st of September.

‘Then, it will be refreshed on the 1st of October, 1st of November and so on.

‘Plus, no matter which day of the month I was to use this, it would be refreshed on the 1st day of the next month.

‘This seems to be… much better than the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] and the [Burning Reincarnation Circus].’

Su Yang looked at the time. ‘It’s already the 25th of August, 6 more days before the next month arrives.

‘It would be a waste if I don’t make use of this opportunity.

‘The question is, whose affinity should I unlock first?’

…

While Su Yang was trying to figure out who he should “drive” first, a commotion had stirred on TikTok…

Ever since Su Yang had uploaded his first 2 videos, his TikTok had become one of TikTok’s biggest VIP accounts.

As a VIP, his videos could directly be uploaded to the high traffic pool.

Hence, Su Yang’s video had been promoted to the 100,000 users traffic pool as soon as he uploaded it.

It was no different from his previous video. In just a few minutes, those who had seen his video started to like and forward it.

In fact, because Su Yang chose a song that he thought was good, the statistics were even higher than his previous videos.

The best part was that he thought that the “advertisement” for “Fighting The Buddha” would lower his statistics on TikTok. However, not only did his statistics not reduce, it even helped to increase it in return…

The people who watched his video had quietly listened to his song. Then, a completely unrelated video suddenly appeared at the end of the song and they were immediately stunned by it…

‘Is this an advertisement?

‘Such a… hard selling advertisement?’

Chapter 409: Becoming The Champion Again

Su Yang’s advertisement was indeed hard selling because he had only put on his mask during those ten minutes. Then, he said to the camera, “Hey, my fans. I’ve recently discovered a movie that’s really good called “Fighting The Buddha”. It’s being broadcasted on iQIYI. Everyone should watch it. The movie is really awesome and its special effects are amazing. It’s practically the best domestically produced movie at the moment.”

‘Yeah… that should do it.

‘Anyway, no one knows who’s behind the mask so it’s fine for me to exaggerate however I want.

‘Advertisements are meant to be hard selling anyway.

‘It’s supposed to be exaggerating.’

And so came the most hard selling advertisement in history…

Many fans who had watched the video and the advertisement started to doubt it. ‘We can understand that you’re trying to advertise the movie, but can you not promote it so directly? It sounds so fake…

‘We could somewhat understand even if you were to promote it directly, but could you not promote it while you’re recording a song?

‘You were actually so lazy that you recorded an advertisement and pieced it together with your music video!

‘Both parts of the recording had different settings, locations, and clothes. Other than the mask and the person in it being the same, there are no connections between the 2 recordings and were forcefully edited together. It’s a complete insult to your fan’s intelligence…’

‘Is the uploader contracted to advertisements now?’

‘Is this free advertising? I’m guessing other advertisers would be so mad when they see this.’

‘Isn’t this too forceful already? It’s literally 2 separate videos being edited together. Can’t you record it while you’re recording your song?’

‘Did anyone notice that these music videos all seem to be recorded in the same setting, the same clothes? It’s even recorded in the same angle. Could he have sang all of it in 1 sitting?’

Many people suddenly realized it after it was mentioned.

Netizens are always the people who had the most free time. Ever since they found out about this, they started to compare Su Yang’s videos.

The more they compared, the more surprised they were because the videos were indeed from the same setting and he was wearing the same outfit, even the creases on his clothes were similar.

This meant that the videos were recorded on the same day, maybe even recorded in 1 sitting.

Actually, it was public knowledge that music videos online were a result of the same song being recorded dozens of times. Then, the uploader would select the better ones through the litter, edit the voice and choose the best one to upload as their final product. This was also why music videos online were much better than singing live.

But now… someone had actually sang 7 to 8 songs in 1 sitting and every song was sung well which was simply unheard of!

This speculation attracted many reposts and comments.

Many people were speculating whether Su Yang had recorded it on the same day whilst they were also discussing his shameless commercial being edited together with his music video.

This made the video even more popular than usual.

Very soon, someone managed to obtain evidence through a very soft voice within the music video, a woman was requesting for a specific song.

Then someone noticed some other voices in the audio.

The truth had been revealed, Su Yang’s videos were recorded during his live performance and then cropped out.

The fans who heard about this news were all shocked. ‘Could this be real? He’s actually able to sing so well in a live performance. This is something that many famous singers fail to do!’

Hence, with the help of those videos, Su Yang’s cover songs instantly went viral on the internet.

Ever since TikTok used one of Su Yang’s music videos as an advertisement and obtained a bunch of new users, they would promote Su Yang’s music videos again whenever he uploaded it. This time, they would not miss the opportunity.

They went according to their standard procedure and used Su Yang’s muic video as a promotional video to upload it onto Zhihu and Weibo.

Many users who were not using TikTok had also downloaded TikTok because of the promotional video. They did so to be subscribed to Su Yang and to be able to listen to his cover songs.

Even though TikTok had intentionally hid the second half of Su Yang’s music video, those who downloaded TikTok for Su Yang very naturally scrolled through his music videos in 1 sitting.

Of course… they would watch the most awesome, most hard selling advertisement as well.

After reading it, all of them were stunned. ‘What a hard selling advertisement. Plus, it’s been edited together? Isn’t that too shameless? Has the advertisement company offended you?

However, it depended on each person to determine if it was a hard selling advertisement or not. Perhaps it was because they had seen too many soft advertisements previously that their curiosity had been piqued the moment they saw such a hard selling advertisement. ‘Is this movie really that awesome? Is it worth advertising it so strongly?’

As a normal online movie, “Fighting The Buddha” could not escape the inevitable fate of only being popular for a short amount of time.

After continuously promoting the movie for a week and stabilizing for another half a month, the box office began to plummet.

Of course, it was a straight decline. Compared to the tens of thousands of yuan in box office for “Xu Qingling” which had been released in the same period, “Fighting The Buddha” was still extremely stable, its box office was approximately 300,000 yuan per day.

After more than three weeks of screening, the total box office of “Fighting The Buddha” reached 35 million yuan.

It seemed that achieving 40 million yuan would not be an issue.

As the summer vacation was coming to an end, there would be other movies that would take advantage of the summer vacation as well.

For example, there was a new A-rank online movie, “New Justice Bao In The Snow Valley”.

This movie’s momentum was not bad as soon as it was released. It had taken over the throne of “Fighting The Buddha” with a box office of 958,000 yuan on the first day, 1,309,000 yuan on the second day and 917,000 day on the third day. Its momentum was very stable.

As the producer of this movie, Liuye Pictures was also very excited. Even though it was the almost end of the summer break, it was still something worth celebrating since they won a few box office awards.

After all, they would be able to brag about it if they were the champion for that summer’s highest box office award.

In the end… when Thursday’s box office rankings were released, they were dumbfounded.

“New Justice Bao In The Snow Valley”, 852,000 yuan.

This was a very normal result, but… the most shocking thing was that “Fighting The Buddha” actually made a comeback with an increase in their box office at 998,700 thousand yuan.

Although it did not break the 1 million yuan barrier, it still surpassed the newly released “New Justice Bao In The Snow Valley”.

This crazy box office performance stunned the production company of “Justice Bao”. They had wanted to win a few more awards so that they could receive more investments for the next movie. Who would have thought that they would spiral down into failure just as their movie was released.

The box office sales of ‘”Fighting The Buddha”‘ also surprised the people in the online movie industry.

‘Why has its box office suddenly exploded again?

‘This movie’s box office is way too scary.

‘Could it have been tampered with?’

However, as soon as this suspicion was aroused, the news that the most popular singer on TikTok had inserted an advertisement for “Fighting The Buddha” at the end of his latest music video began to spread.

The people who had been doubting the data immediately shut up.

If that amount of fans were to promote “Fighting The Buddha” and bring up its box office again, it would be understandable.

After understanding the situation, the people within the industry no longer cared.

This was because other than propelling “Fighting The Buddha” towards the number 1 spot in the online movie box office, there was nothing that could be done to affect it.

Oh… it affected “Justice Bao” from the crown…

The production company for “Justice Bao” was on the verge of tears since they were on the steady road to victory before it got cut off.

And what would sadden them even more was yet to come. Over the next few days, the box office of “Fighting The Buddha” stabilized at around 1 million yuan, putting “Justice Bao” below them for four days in a row.

When the popularity of “Fighting The Buddha” died down and dropped back to 300,000 yuan, the box office for “Justice Bao” was only at 230,000 yuan…

Therefore, three days after becoming the champion, “Justice Bao” remained below “Fighting The Buddha” for the entire week.

On the other hand, “Fighting The Buddha” had miraculously won the weekly box office championship again. It had even continued to steadily hole onto the highest box office in 1 day after having it had been overtaken for 3 days…

While the box office was soaring, Su Yang was not idling around either. He had been thinking of ways to use the [Unlimited Driving Certificate].

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he only wanted to use it on Chu Xia.

‘But… do I still have to use it on Chu Xia?

‘I think I should be the one who needs to have my affinity unlocked for her instead.’

However, Su Yang was also curious about how Chu Xia felt about him. Hence, after thinking for a long time, Su Yang still called Chu Xia to ask her out.

Unfortunately, Chuxia said that she wasn’t in Shanghai at the time and would not tell Su Yang where she was when he asked.

He asked her if she could come back before the 1st of September, but Chu Xia said that it was unlikely after hesitating for a while.

And so… he failed his first objective.

‘Is there another girl that I would like to unlock their affinity other than Chu Xia?’

After some thought, Su Yang felt that Lin Jiali was the only one.

Thus, he tried to trick Lin Jiali into returning to Shanghai. However, even after several days, Lin Jiali did not fall for his trick since she had gone to film the big production that she had previously mentioned, hence she did not have time to return to Shanghai.

Both candidates were out of town and had no time to come back. Hence, Su Yang was out of candidates.

In the end, he decided to take things one step at a time. Perhaps he would meet someone whose affinity he wanted to unlock later on.

‘If all else fails, I’ll just wait for the 31st of August and choose someone randomly from the streets. I’ll try using the item and see what functions it has rather than wasting it.

‘Of course… this is the worst case scenario.’

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday. Su Yang received a call from Li Runze early in the morning.

Li Runze asked, “Where?”

Su Yang was playing with Dagger Girl in the backyard. Both Quickgold Monsters scurried around them, causing the backyard to be filled with laughter.

Su Yang replied, “At home.”

The genius replied, “Welcoming new students today, you coming?”

Su Yang looked at the time. “Isn’t it still early?”

The genius replied, “We need to account for traffic on the way.”

‘That makes sense…

‘However, why is the genius welcoming new students as well?’

Su Yang asked, “Why are welcoming new students anyway?”

The genius said concisely, “Mission from Student Union.”

‘Wow… Even the genius has joined the Student Union?’

Su Yang asked, “Which department are you in?”

The genius said coldly, “The learning department.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘Is there such a department in the Student Union? What’s it for? Is it specifically for learning?’

Su Yang, who was clueless about the Student Union, was confused.

However, since he had someone he knew, Su Yang felt that he would not be bored today.

‘There are only two more days left before September ends, if he doesn’t use the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] now, this month’s quota will expire. Who knows, I might be able to find the perfect opportunity to use it today!’

With that thought in mind, he packed up and got Pan Zhaodi to drive him to the train station.

Chapter 410: We’re All Men So It’s Understandable

Pan Zhaodi was very efficient. After Su Yang suggested buying a car, she had already bought a black Mercedes-Benz as their company car and even hung their license plate.

Hence, Su Yang did not need to take a taxi to travel anymore.

When they arrived at the train station, Pan Zhaodi stopped the car and opened the door for Su Yang. Her professionalism as a top secretary was extremely eye-catching.

The other onlookers at the train station had all turned to look at them.

Everyone was envious when they looked at the luxurious Mercedes-Benz and Pan Zhaodi’s beautiful figure.

“Another female secretary who has been seduced by the boss.”

“F*ck. This boss is so lucky.”

“Rich *ss…”

“That secretary is so pretty.”

Just when everyone was feeling envious and jealous, Su Yang got out of the car. He was wearing a simple T-shirt and flip-flops which made him seem like any common bystander.

He did not have the elegance of a businessman, nor did he radiate any brilliance. He looked like a student, a student who was too lazy to tidy himself up in fact.

When the onlookers saw him get out of the car, they were stunned. However, after a while, they became even more envious.

“F*ck, it must feel good to be reincarnated into a wealthy family!”

“Won it all the way.”

“He hasn’t got the style at all, could he be an illegitimate son of some mafia?”

“I envy him…”

It was a pity that Su Yang did not know what they were thinking. If he had known, he would definitely spit on their faces with words like, “I’ve gotten to this point through hard work! How shameless could you be! Can you find out more about the facts before asking?”

However, he obviously did not know what the onlookers were thinking. He only knew that once he got out of the car, [Heaven’s Eyes] kept flicking on the window. He counted casually, and felt that there were more than 20 people secretly sizing him up.

He had just gotten out of the car and was confused about everything that was going on since he was completely unaware. ‘What’s wrong? Have I become more handsome today?’

Su Yang could only temporarily close [Heaven’s Eyes] since the windows kept popping out and he found it annoying.

Then, he looked around and saw a group of familiar people waiting at the exit of the train station with a small table and a banner [Shanghai University’s New Student Reception Center].

‘Li Runze, Qu Xuan and Xu Lu are all here.

‘There’s actually so many familiar faces?

‘Are all of them so free?’

While thinking, Su Yang told Pan Zhaodi to go back and get some rest first. He would contact her when he needed a ride again.

Pan Zhaodi nodded. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly stopped and said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su, your status is different now. It’s not good for you to always stay in this old neighborhood.”

“Erm,” Su Yang replied. “I think it’s alright. I’m quite comfortable here.”

Pan Zhaodi shook her head. “It’s not a good place to stay, whether it’s about privacy or safety.”

When she saw that Su Yang did not want to accept her advice, she added, “It’s mainly because your Ferrari… has no place to park.”

Su Yang was speechless…

‘This is indeed a problem.’

He thought about it and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you to make the arrangements, so long as it’s not too far away from my school. It’s best if I can stay somewhere nearby my school.”

Mrs. Zhao nodded. “Understood, Mr. Su.”

After they were done chatting, Pan Zhaodi started the car and drove off. Su Yang, on the other hand, walked slowly towards the reception area for the new students.

When they arrived at the reception area, Su Yang patted Li Runze’s shoulder and greeted a few familiar faces. “You’re all here.”

They turned around when they heard Su Yang’s voice. Li Runze nodded casually. “Morning.”

Qu Xuan smiled wickedly and said, “Mr. President, what a coincidence.”

When Xu Lu saw Su Yang, she was pleasantly surprised. “Su Yang, you’re here too? I didn’t see you on the list.”

Su Yang replied, “I’m here on behalf of Chu Xia.”

Xu Lu nodded in enlightenment. She looked at the name list in her hand and seemed to have thought of something. She said, “She’s your class secretary, right?”

Su Yang did not deny it, but added instead, “We’re also very good friends.”

Xu Lu took a glance at Su Yang and seemed to have understood what he meant. However, she did not reply.

After that, a few unfamiliar people started chatting with each other because of Su Yang’s arrival.

Su Yang finally understood what was going on.

‘The Student Union of Shanghai University is mainly the ones responsible for welcoming the new students with volunteers as assistants. They are then divided into two batches, one batch stays at the train station while the other stays at the airport.

‘Actually, although it’s said to be a reception for new students, since most of the students at Shanghai University were students from within the city, their duties were relatively easier. They wouldn’t have any work to do usually, all they need to do is to pull up a banner at both locations. When the new students arrived, they would help them carry their luggage to the school bus and send them to school when it was time.

‘Moreover, this isn’t a compulsory thing for new students to comply with.

‘Normally speaking, if the new students had their own things to do or if they did not want to wait for the bus to arrive, they could go to school on their own. Therefore, there isn’t a list of new students at the reception area, it’s just a matter of luck.

‘Xu Lu is the vice president of the Student Union’s Art Department and is the person in charge of picking up new students at the train station this morning. Qu Xuan, Chu Xia and Li Runze are also members of the Student Union.

‘Qu Xuan is from the Disciplinary Department. Although… I can’t understand why is such a sloppy person from the disciplinary department. What right does he have?

‘Li Runze is from the Learning Department, I’ve found out that it doesn’t take a learned person to enter that department. Rather, It’s more like the secretarial department for the head secretary of the Youth Organization…

‘Chuxia is the Student Union’s Organizational Department. However, according to Xu Lu, she is very likely to be the assistant secretary this year or be transferred to another department as their secretary instead.’

Su Yang was confused everytime he thought about this. He did not know much about the Student Union. He did not feel that it was interesting so he chose not to participate in it. All he needed to know that they were from the Student Union anyway.

Very soon, other than a few familiar faces, the other second and third-year volunteers had also arrived. Su Yang realized that most of the volunteers were boys with only 1 or 2 girls.

Very soon, Su Yang found out about the gender ratio. ‘Many male volunteers are being so enthusiastic about this because they wanted to get in touch with the first-year female students…

‘These are guys who have been desperately wishing to leave their single days by getting a girlfriend as soon as possible or even leave a deep impression with a girl, all so that they can welcome the new year.

‘To them, as long as they showed a little more enthusiasm and helped their female juniors today, they might just get a girlfriend.’

Therefore, when Su Yang saw them that day, all of them were dressed like gentlemen. None of them were wearing T-shirts and slippers as Su Yang had.

‘Even Li Runze is wearing a checkered shirt.

‘But I seem to remember him always dressed like this…’

After chatting with a few people and getting to know each other better, Qu Xuan crept up to Su Yang and asked, “Mr. President, are you here to attract some girls today?”

Su Yang was confused.

“No, I’m here to replace Chu Xia.”

Qu Xuan nudged Su Yang gently with his elbow and blinked his eyes. “Don’t worry. We’re all men so it’s understandable. I won’t tell my sister.”

Su Yang was still confused.

‘What does this have to do with your sister?’

Just when Su Yang could not understand Qu Xuan’s weird thoughts, there was a commotion at the reception. A few new students had arrived.

Su Yang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few honest-looking boys walking over. They looked like they came from the countryside. Their skin was dark and they looked rustic.

The new students arrived at the reception area. They looked up at the banner and asked carefully, “Hello, is this the reception area for the new students of Shanghai University?”

Seeing that it was a few boys, the volunteers who came to help were not interested. Xu Lu, on the other hand, answered them enthusiastically. She explained Shanghai University to them and explained the procedure of the reception.

The boys nodded although they did not seem to fully understand what had been said. Then, they looked at the less enthusiastic seniors in confusion.

Su Yang noticed this and hurried over as he smiled. “I’ll bring you guys to the bus.”

“Oh, okay.” The new students quickly nodded.

Su Yang then called for Qu Xuan and Li Runze to help move the new students’ luggage onto the bus.

Noticing Su Yang’s wave, Li Runze stood up slowly and expressionlessly helped the freshmen pick up their luggage before following Su Yang.

On the other hand, Qu Xuan was a little reluctant. For a playboy like him, it was obvious that he was there to welcome new female students. However, as his president and the ‘brother-in-law’ in his heart, Su Yang’s words were still effective. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the new students’ luggage resentfully and carried them to the bus with Su Yang.

Among the three of them, one was silent while the other looked unhappy. Hence the new students did not dare to interact with either of them and could only chat softly with Su Yang.

Su Yang treated them warmly and answered their questions with a smile.

When he saw them, Su Yang actually felt very close to them. That was because he recalled the moment when he came to Shanghai from the village last year. He was also so down to earth, honest, and cautious.

Su Yang led the freshmen onto the bus and helped them set up their luggage. He even added a few of their WeChat accounts so that they could contact him if they needed anything. Then, he received a bunch of thanks from them.

‘Helping them seems much more comfortable than obtaining [Random Points].

‘Of course… it would be better if there were [Random Points].’

After settling the rookies, the three of them chatted as they returned to the reception area. However, halfway there, they saw that the reception area was as lively as a market.

Qu Xuan took a glance from afar and slapped his thigh. “Oh no! Someone beat me to it!”

As he said that, he rushed over.

Su Yang and Li Runze exchanged glances. They could both tell that the other party was speechless…

However, it was not just Shanghai University that had the culture of getting to know the new female students while using welcoming them as an excuse. It happened in every school.

Furthermore, these seniors were merely getting to know their juniors earlier. Nobody could interfere with them since it wasn’t being done forcefully.

However, people like Su Yang and Li Runze, who did not have such thoughts, were different. It was ironic.

The two walked to the reception area and realized that there was indeed a group of new female students. They might not be very pretty, but at least they looked young and fresh. They had the innocence and curiosity of someone who had just entered university.

Of course, many of the girls had their parents by their side, which made this group of young men even more enthusiastic. After all, everyone knew that modern girls were easy to coax these days, but mother-in-laws were very hard to please. If they managed to leave a good impression beforehand, they might be able to turn the tables.

‘Kids nowadays are so naive…’

Before long, everyone had left. Although Qu Xuan ran fast, he was still too late and did not get the chance to perform.

He looked at the empty reception area and complained to Su Yang, “Mr. President, it’s all your fault. My plan to woo a female junior failed before it even started.”

Just as he was saying that, a playful female voice suddenly came from behind him. “Hi, is this the reception area for the new students at Shanghai University?”

Chapter 411: A Big Project Worth 1.3 Billion Yuan

Although most of the students recruited by universities were either local residents or at least from the local provinces, there were also many from foreign provinces.

For those students from foreign provinces, it would be easier for them to converse if they were from the big cities. However, those from smaller cities or even the countryside would have a harder time conversing since they would have an accent.

Therefore, the first 2 batches of new students that Su Yang had received earlier all had some accents.

However, this woman’s voice did not have any accent. Not only did she not have an accent, her words were so precise she sounded like a host at an event.

Xu Lu, Qu Xuan, and Su Yang, who were standing at the same spot, could not help but look in the direction of the voice. In the end, they realized that the person standing before them was an extremely beautiful girl. Her eyes were very big and it would actively blink as though it could speak.

She did not have the anxiety and discomfort of a new student, only courage and curiosity.

Su Yang and the other two were looking at her. She was also looking at the three of them curiously. She was not shy or embarrassed at all. Instead, she looked very confident.

‘This is a girl with a very strong heart.’

The girl was not alone. There was another girl in black who wore glasses behind her. The girl in black had a book in her hands.

The two girls held hands like best friends.

When he saw the two girls, Qu Xuan’s eyes lit up and he quickly welcomed them warmly. “Hi there, are the 2 of you new students from Shanghai University?”

The girl blinked at Qu Xuan and ignored him. She said to Xu Lu, “Is there a bus to pick us up?”

Xu Lu had just regained her senses when she said enthusiastically, “Yes, don’t worry. Our school bus will drive you directly to the school. I’ll ask these seniors to bring you there.”

The girl with large eyes looked at Qu Xuan before shifting her gaze to Li Runze and Su Yang. After a while, she smiled at Su Yang. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Since the girl had taken the initiative to ask for help, what else could Su Yang say? He could only step forward to help.

Qu Xuan, who was standing at the side, felt awkward. However, other than being handsome, he also had the ability to be thick-skinned. He quickly said to the other girl who wore glasses, “I’ll help you as well.”

The girl tightened her grip on her luggage and ignored him.

Seeing this, Su Yang called for Li Runze’s help. Li Runze walked over expressionlessly, picked up their luggages and left.

Seeing the four of them walk toward the bus, Qu Xuan did not feel embarrassed. He quickly followed them and surrounded the two girls while saying, “Which faculty are the 2 of you in?”

The girl in glasses ignored him, but the big-eyed girl spoke up instead. She looked at Qu Xuan with a sly look in her eyes. “Guess.”

Qu Xuan asked, “Will there be a prize if I guess correctly?”

The girl blinked. “Yes.”

Qu Xuan replied, “Arts Faculty.”

The girl looked at him in surprise. “How did you guess?”

Qu Xuan smiled smugly. “I saw the registration form in her hand.”

Su Yang looked in the direction Qu Xuan was pointing at. The girl in glasses was indeed holding a registration form in her book. A portion of the registration form was outside, and it had the words “Arts Faculty” written on it.

Qu Xuan said proudly, “Now that I’ve guessed correctly. What’s my reward?”

The girl smiled and said, “Nothing.”

Qu Xuan was stunned. “You’re not upholding your promise.”

The girl spread her hands and said smugly, “My mom told me that there’s no need to keep my promise to a scumbag.”

“Huh?” Qu Xuan was indignant. “How am I a scumbag?”

The girl said, “It’s written on your face.”

After saying that, she gave him a look that said, “What are you going to do about it?” Then, she ignored Qu Xuan and pulled the girl beside her as they moved forward.

Su Yang and Li Runze were not as shameless as Qu Xuan. The two of them had no intention of chatting with the two girls. When Qu Xuan caught up with them, the two of them had already dragged their luggage and walked ahead, not wanting to get involved with Qu Xuan.

After sending the two girls into the bus, the girl with big eyes bowed to Su Yang warmly. “Thank you. Xiao Ya and I wouldn’t have been able to move these things without your help.”

Then she reached out her hand and said, “My name is Guo Xiaoying. You can call me Little Ying. This is my best friend, Xue Ya.”

Su Yang looked at the luggage in his hand and then looked at Guo Xiaoying’s hand. He smiled and said, “Hello, my name is Su Yang. This is Li Runze. The one down there is Qu Xuan. I really don’t have any extra hands anymore so I’ll have to skip the handshake.”

Guo Xiaoying stuck out her tongue and reached out to take one of Su Yang’s luggage. “I’m sorry for having to let you carry everything.”

As Su Yang placed his luggage on top of the luggage compartment in the car, he said, “It’s fine. We’re here to help the new students, so it’s part of our duty.”

Guo Xiaoying pouted and said, “I don’t think so. I think someone with ulterior motives has sneaked in.”

As she spoke, she shot a glance at Qu Xuan.

Qu Xuan was waiting for Su Yang down by the bus with nothing to do. Suddenly, he felt his nose itch and sneezed. He felt as though someone was talking about him.

After they were done stowing the luggage, Su Yang got off the bus with Li Runze after greeting Guo Xiaoying and Xue Ya.

Seeing this, Qu Xuan inched closer to Su Yang and whispered, “I won’t be heading back first.”

Su Yang glanced at him. “Scumbag.”

Qu Xuan chuckled and did not reply.

Su Yang could not be bothered with him and returned to the reception area with Li Runze.

However, not long after he left, Little Deeny’s voice suddenly rang in his ears. “Master, Master. Little Hus has something to tell you.”

Su Yang could not reply and could only listen quietly.

A moment later, Little Hus’s hoarse voice rang in Su Yang’s ears. “Su Yang! Su Yang! Let me tell you! It smells good! Very good!”

‘What smells good?’

Little Hus seemed to know what Su Yang was thinking as it explained, “The girl who was near you smelled nice.”

Su Yang looked at Xu Lu, Li Runze, and the other volunteers. He walked away quietly and asked in a low voice, “There were two girls just now. Which one?”

Little Hus thought about it and said, “How would I know which one? Anyway, there’s one that smells really good!”

Su Yang was speechless.

He asked, “What kind of smell is it?”

Little Hus said, “I could smell opportunity on her. A kind of smell that could earn you a lot of money.”

‘Opportunity? A lot of money?

‘Could it be that… 1 of those 2 girls have potential?’

Su Yang voiced out his thoughts.

However, Little Hus denied, “It’s not that they have potential, but they have the potential for projects. Make sure you don’t miss it.”

Su Yang asked, “Why?”

Little Hus said loudly, “Because it smells super good! I feel like I could almost die in suffocation from the smell alone! It seems to smell 30 times better than that “Fighting The Buddha” project!”

Su Yang opened his mouth…

’30 times better than “Fighting The Buddha!

‘The profits of “Fighting The Buddha” are close to 10 times! Could the profits of this new project be 300 times?

‘Even if I don’t count like that and base it on the amount of profits.

‘The box office of “Fighting The Buddha” is about 40 million yuan, and I am able to earn more than 30 million yuan. Multiply that by 30 times, could this new project earn me 1.3 billion yuan?!

‘What kind of project is this?

‘It’s so profitable!

‘Could I be establishing a football team for the country?!

‘I definitely can’t let it go. After all, I’ve spent 50 million yuan on the recent Silver mission. The next Silver might even make me spend 100 million yuan instead of allowing me to earn 50 million yuan!

‘Where am I supposed to find that much money!

‘Hence, I need to be well prepared and earn as much as I can!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang said to Little Hus, “In that case, I’ll try to get in contact with those two girls while you find out which one of them has potential.”

Little Hus said, “No problem!”

Following that, nothing else happened in the morning. Perhaps because there was still some time before school reopened, there were not many new students coming out from the train station in the morning. They did not manage to fill up a whole bus in the morning.

When the next shift from the Student Union and volunteers arrived at noon, Su Yang, Xu Lu and the rest returned to the bus as well. They intended to follow the bus back to school. Su Yang’s substitution for Chu Xia had been completed.

When they returned to the bus, Qu Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

Su Yang looked around the car. Some of the new students were chatting passionately. They had come from all over the world, but they were able to come up with a lot of topics to talk about.

Of course, the older students gathered around their favorite juniors and explained.

There were some decent people who were there purely to volunteer. They were chatting about the school’s stories to the people around him. Many of the school’s gossip and supernatural stories were spread from here.

Su Yang looked at Xue Ya and Guo Xiaoying. The two girls were sitting in a twin seat and chatted with their heads lowered. Xue Ya listened quietly while Guo Xiaoying was laughing so hard that her eyes were almost out of their sockets. She seemed to have found something fun.

Su Yang walked over and coughed. After attracting their attention, he lowered his head and asked, “Was it too long of a wait for the both of you?”

Guo Xiaoying looked up at Su Yang and blinked her bright eyes. She seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she smiled. “No, it wasn’t.”

Su Yang nodded. “That’s good then.”

Guo Xiaoying added, “After all, we just got here. The other students are probably the ones who had to wait much longer than us.”

Su Yang felt a little awkward. He felt that Guo Xiaoying must have thought that he was up to no good and had finally shown his true colors.

However, he had already achieved his goal. While he was chatting with the two of them, Su Yang had already asked Little Hus to identify who among the 2 of the girls was emanating the fragrance that was worth 1.3 billion yuan.

Little Hus quickly confirmed that the fragrance came from Guo Xiaoying.

‘So… Guo Xiaoying has a 1.3 billion yuan project?

‘Logically speaking, she should not be the one to have this project, so could the project be her family’s?

‘I really want it…

‘But how am I supposed to begin the topic and get involved with this project?’

Su Yang was a little troubled.

He got out of the car and hid under a tree to think of a solution.

This girl was sharp-tongued and cunning. She did not seem easy to deal with. It was impossible for her to trust him easily and even bring him the project…

‘So… is it time for my [Unrestricted Driver’s License] to shine?’

‘I could use the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] to unlock her affinity and then use [The Pork Shoulder That Can Roast] to criticize her continuously. After I’ve increased her affinity up to a certain point, I will be able to get this project from her.’

After thinking through this plan, Su Yang had a feeling that…’This strangely seems like an RPG game where I defeat monsters and gain their loot. It also feels like the plot of some drama as well.

‘Anyhow, it doesn’t feel like a conventional method.

‘Also, I don’t think I would be toying with other’s feelings, would I?

‘Why does this plan seem like a horrible scam…’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang took out the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] and opened the system interface. He wanted to see if there were any other explanations for this driver’s license.

He moved the system’s question mark to the driver’s license’s [Affinity], and as expected, a line of explanation appeared, [When the Unrestricted Driver’s License is unlocked, you can choose Love, Friendship and Kinship.]

‘Well… That’s a relief.

‘I don’t have to be a scammer.

‘I don’t have to be a Cassanova either.

‘Let’s start with [Friendship] then.

‘I don’t think… anything bad will happen again if I choose [Friendship], will it?’
