The evening sun painted the sky in hues of crimson and gold, but Zhao Feng's mind was elsewhere.
Back in his dorm room, he lounged on a leather armchair that hadn't existed this morning. After the system's rewards had poured in, his shabby little room had transformed. The cracked walls were now lined with sleek wooden panels, and a massive TV screen dominated one side. A minibar stood in the corner, stocked with the finest liquors — none of which he'd even paid for.
Ding!
The familiar chime rang in his mind.
[New Mission: Attend the Campus Gala and Dominate the Night.]
[Bonus Objective: Arrive with a Goddess of Your Own.]
[Reward: 5 Million Simp Coins + Exclusive Limited Item]
Zhao Feng smirked. "The system really knows how to keep things interesting."
The Qinghe University Annual Gala was an event only the elite attended — a celebration of the school's top students, wealthy heirs, and influential alumni. Naturally, Luo Shao and Bai Xinyue would be there, basking in their usual limelight.
But this time, things would be different.
A notification flashed.
[System Reminder: Would you like to browse the Gala Collection?]
"Why not?" Zhao Feng murmured.
His phone screen shifted, revealing a digital catalog of luxury suits, designer watches, and high-end vehicles. Every item gleamed, labeled with its extravagant price in Simp Coins.
- Platinum Tailored Suit – 1.5 Million Simp Coins
- Limited Edition Diamond Rolex – 2.2 Million Simp Coins
- Lamborghini Veneno (Customized) – 25 Million Simp Coins
Zhao Feng chuckled. "Let's go big."
[Confirm Purchase?]
[Confirmed. Transaction Complete.]
The shimmering light surrounded him once again. His old outfit vanished, replaced by a tailored silver-black suit that hugged his figure perfectly. The diamond-studded Rolex glinted on his wrist. Outside the dormitory, the roar of an engine echoed as the sleek Lamborghini awaited.
But Zhao Feng wasn't done.
"Bonus Objective: Arrive with a Goddess of Your Own."
He could think of a few candidates. Bai Xinyue wasn't the only beauty on campus. There was Su Ling, the fiery student council president, whose cold demeanor concealed a passionate spirit. Then there was Lin Xiaoyu, the adorable school belle often pursued by countless suitors. And, of course, the mysterious transfer student Yan Ruo, whose aloof presence intrigued everyone.
Zhao Feng smirked. "Why settle for one when the system has my back?"
Just then, his phone buzzed.
[Incoming Call: Su Ling]
"Well," he mused, "this night's already getting interesting."
