[DING!]
[Congratulations, Host. Side quest triggered.]
[Please purchase a Patek Philippe watch within 24 hours.]
[Quest Completion: Reward of three Cashback Cards.]
[Quest Failure: No further side quests of this type will appear.]
Just as Lin Feng was thinking this, the System’s voice sounded once more.
Well!
No need to think about it anymore!
For those three Cashback Cards, he had to get a Patek Philippe watch to wear, no matter what.
’The System seems to be popping up a lot today!’
Lin Feng guessed that this Perfect Life System...
...was likely triggered whenever he was about to experience something new.
"Let’s go!"
After receiving the System’s quest, Lin Feng made his decision at once, leading Yang Qiniang and the others out.
Seeing Lin Feng make such a quick decision, as if he were just going to the market to buy groceries, Yang Qiniang and the other two felt a bit helpless.
’Is stock trading really this profitable now?’ they wondered.
Originally, they had come out to accompany Yang Qingqing and buy her some makeup.
But as they shopped, Lin Feng had unwittingly become the main character.
The three of them, on the other hand, felt like sidekicks.
Not that they minded. Getting to go shopping with a big shot...
...even if they couldn’t afford anything themselves, was a pretty cool feeling, wasn’t it?
Just like now, with Lin Feng going to buy a watch.
Yang Qiniang seemed even more excited than if he were buying it for himself.
After leaving the clothing store, Yang Qiniang had been constantly giving Lin Feng a crash course on various high-end watch brands!
"Old Lin, since you’re so rich now..."
"...if you’re buying a watch, my first recommendation is Patek Philippe. The brand is a jewel of the Swiss watchmaking industry and has been independently family-owned since its founding in 1839!"
"Patek Philippe isn’t just an icon for watch enthusiasts; it’s a symbol of success. A big shot like you should be wearing a watch like this!"
As they reached the mall entrance, Yang Qiniang was still chattering away nonstop.
It was as if, if he didn’t buy a Patek Philippe in this lifetime...
...his life would be utterly tasteless.
Hearing this, Lin Feng looked at him in confusion and said, "You get twenty thousand a month for living expenses, plus your New Year’s red envelope money and all that. If you saved a little, you should be able to afford a Patek Philippe, right?"
Lin Feng had just looked it up.
An entry-level Patek Philippe watch could be had for just over a hundred thousand.
If Yang Qiniang really liked it that much, he could totally afford one if he just bit the bullet.
At worst, he’d just have to live frugally for a few months!
At this, Yang Qiniang looked utterly heartbroken and shot a look at Yang Qingqing beside him.
Being stared at like that by Yang Qiniang, Yang Qingqing looked a little sheepish.
She tilted her head and said defensively, "What? Is there a problem with you buying your little sister a birthday present?"
"Besides, for your birthday, didn’t I also..."
As Yang Qingqing spoke, her voice began to trail off.
"You have the nerve to bring that up!"
Yang Qiniang looked as if someone had just brought up a painful memory.
Before Yang Qingqing could finish, he stepped forward and accused her, "The two hundred thousand I managed to save by scrimping and saving, you took it all for your birthday!"
"And you said you were helping me save up a ’wife fund’!"
"And what happened? For my birthday, you just gave me a phone case—a used one at that!"
Seeing Yang Qiniang’s furious expression...
...a scared Yang Qingqing quickly ducked behind Su Ruoxi and waved at a distant taxi.
"Driver, over here!"
"The cab’s here, let’s go!"
Yang Qingqing opened the car door and dove into the back seat, not wanting to face Yang Qiniang’s wrath any longer.
Seeing this, Yang Qiniang could only calm himself down and walk towards the taxi.
However, he sat directly in the front passenger seat.
"Brother Nian..."
Lin Feng had originally wanted Yang Qiniang to sit in the back.
After all, there were two girls.
One was his sister; if he sat on the side with his sister in the middle, it wouldn’t have been so awkward.
But thinking about how the two of them had just been acting, he gave up on the idea.
Four people in one taxi.
It was inevitable that three would have to squeeze into the back.
But when Lin Feng got in, he discovered that Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi had taken the seats on the far left and right.
Left with no choice, he had to sit in the middle.
Sandwiched between the two girls, Lin Feng was at a bit of a loss, forced to let their fair, shapely legs and the fullness of their chests brush against him from time to time.
On top of that, there was the faint, pleasant fragrance coming from them.
It made his heart beat a little faster, and his breathing grew hurried.
Smelling the faint, elegant fragrance from the two girls...
...suddenly gave Lin Feng the idea to buy a car.
A fine car and a beautiful woman...
This was the ultimate dream for countless men.
If he weren’t buying a watch, his savings of over three hundred thousand could easily get him an entry-level BBA model.
But now, a BBA was nothing special to Lin Feng.
Why not wait a while and just get a sports car to drive?
「Half an hour later.」
The taxi arrived safely at Wanxiang City.
This was another mall that specialized in luxury goods.
However, this mall sold fewer clothes and focused more on things like jewelry and watches.
Lin Feng, having spent the whole ride in the back smelling the girls’ fragrance, found his legs had gone a bit numb.
After getting out of the car, the first thing he did was stomp his feet.
Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi also stretched. It really hadn’t been comfortable for three people squeezed in the back.
"If I’d known, I would have just called for the company car to pick us up!"
Yang Qingqing mumbled, rubbing her sore legs.
The fact that Yang Qiniang’s family was quite influential in Yang City was already an open secret in both of their dorms.
For Yang Qingqing to say that, she must have been really squished.
"Alright, we just came out to buy something."
"There’s no need to trouble them."
After such a long car ride, Yang Qiniang’s anger had long since dissipated.
He said to Lin Feng, "Let’s go, Old Lin! Let’s go see just how extravagant Patek Philippe really is!"
Since the System had specifically told him to buy a Patek Philippe...
...and since Yang Qiniang held it in such high regard, Lin Feng saw no need to visit any other watch stores.
An entry-level Patek Philippe could be bought for just over a hundred thousand.
That was more than enough for him to upgrade the System.
The group arrived at the Patek Philippe boutique, its entrance lined with all kinds of luxury cars.
Among them were sports cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris.
"Huh?"
"What’s Dad’s car doing here?"
Just then, Yang Qingqing pointed to a Rolls-Royce with a license plate of five 6s.
Lin Feng didn’t know much about luxury cars; he could only judge them by their license plates.
But from its appearance, the car had to be worth a fortune—at least several million.
"It really is. Don’t tell me Dad is here buying another watch?"
Yang Qiniang muttered.
Then, he turned to Lin Feng and said, "Old Lin, you’re really in luck!"
"My dad has the Patek Philippe black card."
"If we use his membership card to buy the watch, it’ll save a lot of trouble."
"Most importantly, you won’t have to wait!"
Yang Qiniang explained to Lin Feng.
As an internationally renowned brand, Patek Philippe has exceptionally high quality standards for its products.
You could say they embody the true spirit of craftsmanship.
Because of this, their annual production is limited.
A lot of the time, you can’t necessarily buy one even if you have the money.
The entry-level models are one thing.
You only have to wait a month or so to get one.
But for the models that cost millions, you have to wait at least half a year, and even then, having money doesn’t guarantee you’re qualified to purchase one.
After hearing Yang Qiniang’s explanation...
...Lin Feng felt he had really come to the right place today.
If he really had to wait a month or so...
...the System quest would have long failed, and he would have had to say goodbye to those three Cashback Cards.
More importantly, the System would no longer activate side quests afterward.
That would be a huge shame...
