Hearing the System’s voice.
Lin Feng froze for a second, then a wave of euphoria washed over him.
’I can get a System reward just for coming out to shop and having a satisfying experience?’
This Cashback Card.
Lin Feng was all too familiar with it; it appeared in a lot of novels.
’If I use it when I make a purchase, I can get up to 5x cashback. This thing is amazing!’
Although the spending was capped at 50,000 yuan for the cashback calculation.
But if he got lucky, he could potentially receive a cashback of up to 250,000 yuan!
’As expected of the Perfect Life System!’
’What kind of perfect life would it be if you couldn’t spend money freely?’
"Old Lin, why are you smiling so sleazily!"
Just as Lin Feng was pondering how to maximize the benefits of this Cashback Card.
Yang Qiniang suddenly spoke up.
His voice snapped Lin Feng back to reality.
At that moment, it wasn’t just Yang Qiniang; even Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi were looking at Lin Feng with confusion.
They had no idea why he had been standing there, grinning like an idiot.
Lin Feng shook his head with a helpless sigh and said to the sales associate, "Hi, miss. Please bag all these clothes for me."
"Could you ring me up and tell me the total?"
Hearing this, the sales associate took out a calculator and tallied up the items. "Sir, you’ve purchased two shirts, two pairs of pants, and one pair of casual shoes from our store."
"The total comes to 38,500 yuan."
"I can round it down for you, so let’s just make it an even 38,000 yuan."
Lin Feng was quite pleased that the associate offered to round it down. Every bit saved was a bit earned.
However, Lin Feng noticed a problem.
The maximum purchase amount the Cashback Card applied to was 50,000 yuan.
He was only spending 38,000 yuan right now.
’Wouldn’t it be a huge waste to use the Cashback Card on this?’
Even though Lin Feng could now earn over ten thousand yuan a day without lifting a finger.
He still abided by the principle that you’d be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.
He looked at the sales associate and asked, "Excuse me, do you sell belts here?"
He had enough clothes now, so he had to start looking at accessories.
The pants Su Ruoxi had picked out for him earlier required a belt.
Since Lin Feng wore a school uniform every day in high school, he didn’t even own a belt.
Buying a couple of belts now would be a perfect way to get his total purchase closer to the target.
Why not?
With the sales associate’s help, Lin Feng quickly picked out two belts. Seeing that the total was still under 50,000, he bought a few pairs of socks as well.
All together, the total came to just over 49,000 yuan.
Seeing this, Yang Qiniang and the others were stunned. Yang Qiniang exclaimed.
"Old Lin, you’ve already spent over 50,000 yuan today!"
"Is your allowance really that generous?"
Yang Qiniang couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.
His family was considered quite wealthy by Yang City standards.
But his monthly allowance was only 20,000 yuan.
Yet here was Lin Feng, casually spending over 50,000 yuan on a whim.
It made him, a rich second-generation kid, feel rather inadequate.
’Compared to Lin Feng, I feel a bit shabby!’
Lin Feng glanced at Yang Qiniang and said with a smile, "I’ve been playing the stock market lately and made a little money, so I’m just buying a few more things."
Lin Feng didn’t mention his family’s financial situation.
Instead, he just made up an excuse, saying the money came from stocks.
In fact, this explanation wasn’t wrong.
The money the System rewarded him with was all transferred to his bank account via the stock market.
This method helped avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Even if Yang Qiniang had someone investigate, they wouldn’t find a single clue.
Of course, Yang Qiniang probably wasn’t that bored anyway.
"Oh, good!"
"For a second there, I thought you were some kind of secret tycoon, Old Lin! The kind with a million-yuan monthly allowance!"
After hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, Yang Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the money wasn’t from his family, it was fine.
Otherwise, he, the rich kid, would have felt too ashamed to even face Lin Feng.
[DING!]
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully used the Cashback Card.]
[You have received 4x cashback. Total cashback amount: 198,000 yuan!]
After paying, Lin Feng immediately used the Cashback Card.
’I can’t believe I got 4x cashback.’
It wasn’t the highest multiplier.
But it was still pretty great!
’An extra 200,000 yuan out of thin air. How sweet!’
Adding this to the savings in his bank account, Lin Feng’s total net worth had now reached as high as 350,000 yuan.
He went on a spending spree.
And turned around to find his bank balance had nearly doubled!
What kind of feeling was this, really!
Lin Feng felt incredible.
But he soon discovered a problem.
At this rate, it seemed he had already bought everything he needed to buy.
’I’m already carrying so many bags, I can’t possibly hold any more clothes!’
He was still 50,000 yuan short of being able to upgrade the System, but after thinking about it, he couldn’t come up with anything else he needed.
’Could this be the legendary problem of having money but not knowing what to spend it on?’
"Brother Nian, what do you think I’m still missing?"
In all his life, Lin Feng had never encountered such a problem.
Before, it was always wanting to buy things but not having the money.
Now, he had the money but didn’t know what to buy.
More importantly, he was completely clueless about luxury goods.
His family’s financial situation had never allowed him to pursue such things.
Hearing Lin Feng’s question.
Yang Qiniang first blanked, then sized up Lin Feng with a strange expression. "I think," he said, "you’re still missing a loyal hanger-on!"
"What do you think of me? For just twenty thousand, you can sponsor me for a month."
"I’ll follow you around every day, cheering ’You’re the man, 666!’"
"How about it? Is that a good deal or what?"
As he spoke, Yang Qiniang even pretended to lunge over and hug Lin Feng’s thigh.
It was so cringey Lin Feng almost broke out in goosebumps.
Still, the idea seemed pretty tempting.
’Having a rich kid follow me around, calling me ’boss’... just thinking about it feels pretty awesome.’
Unfortunately.
This kind of behavior was considered cheating, and the System wouldn’t recognize it.
Because just as the thought popped into Lin Feng’s head, the System’s voice sounded.
[System Experience Points can only be obtained through the Host’s daily consumption behavior. Any form of gifting does not generate Experience!]
The System’s single sentence completely blocked that path for Lin Feng.
’Sorry, Brother Nian!’
’As much as I’d love to have you follow me around cheering ’Boss, 666’...’
’...the damn System won’t allow it!’
"Stop joking around."
Lin Feng pushed Yang Qiniang away and said with a serious expression, "I’m being serious. What do you think I’m still missing?"
Yang Qiniang sized up Lin Feng again, then glanced over at Su Ruoxi, a meaningful smile spreading across his face.
They had been expecting some constructive advice from him.
But seeing that look in his eyes.
Lin Feng and the two girls were instantly speechless.
Was he implying that what Lin Feng was missing... was a girlfriend?
"Brother Feng, how much money do you have on you?"
Just then, Yang Qingqing looked at Lin Feng and suddenly asked.
"Around three hundred thousand, I guess. Why?"
Lin Feng didn’t hide it and stated his savings directly.
"No wonder..."
Yang Qingqing said, looking thoughtful.
’If he has over three hundred thousand in savings, spending fifty thousand probably doesn’t hurt that much.’
Then, she looked at Lin Feng again and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, if you’re still looking to buy something, I have a suggestion."
"As it happens, I need to get my watch repaired."
"If you want to spend money, you could come with me and buy a watch for yourself!"
"That’s right!"
Hearing Yang Qingqing’s words, Yang Qiniang had a sudden realization.
"As the saying goes, ’The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches!’"
"A guy like you with so much money, you’ve got to get yourself a nice watch to wear, right?"
As he spoke, Yang Qiniang even raised his arm to show off his 50,000-yuan Vacheron Constantin mechanical watch.
Even Su Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"I felt like something was missing earlier."
"Now I know. Add a watch, and this whole outfit will be perfect!"
With the enthusiastic recommendation from Yang Qiniang and the two girls.
Lin Feng was also getting tempted. A watch was a symbol of a man’s status.
A decent one could easily start at tens of thousands of yuan, and some of the more absurd ones could even reach into the millions.
If he just bought one, he could upgrade his System Level immediately.
