I'm A Baller - Chapter 108
Chapter 108: Hit the Jackpot
Wang Yan asked a few more questions, then thanked Chi Haomiao and hung up the phone.
It’s over, it’s over!
The salesgirl watched this scene with despair. Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t help but ask herself: Why am I still standing here?
If I’m not standing so close, I wouldn’t have heard it, right?
If I did not hear it, at least I would still have hope in my heart and I wouldn’t be so depressed! !
When she talked to Wang Yan again, the young lady forced out a smile. “Handsome, the bracelets and earrings are over there. Please follow me…”
Before she could finish, the young man waved his hand. “I don’t want to look at them anymore. I just want this watch.”
“AH? !”
The young lady cried out in astonishment. Her eyes and her mouth opened wide enough to swallow… a hamburger.
She quickly closed her mouth and asked, “Sir, are you sure you want this Pasha Series WJ123221?”
Wang Yan asked, “Can it last for a year?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The salesgirl immediately vowed, “It is tougher than that; even if you take it to…”
Wang Yan didn’t give her time to elaborate. He waved his hand and smiled, “Good. I’m ready to pay.”
(⊙ O ⊙)
When the salesgirl walked to the counter, she felt as if she was floating, her mind full of philosophical questions.
Who Am I? Where am I? What happened just now?
She had sold many watches, but this was the first time she had sold one under such circumstances.
Ahhh!
I’m so jealous of that woman!
A 260,000-yuan watch, and she would only wear it for a year? !
Why isn’t this guy my boyfriend?
Why? !
As a salesgirl in a luxury shop, whenever a man came to buy expensive gifts for his girlfriend, she’d feel sour for a while.
It happened every time.
However, today she felt particularly sour.
F*ck, my teeth!
…
It was really hot in the capital city in August. Even if he traveled in a car, he was still sweating profusely when he returned to the hotel.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he applied the body wash, he found the scabs from the wounds had fallen off.
Eh? He recovered so quickly?
Wang Yan was overjoyed. He looked left and right in the mirror and found that the color of the wounded skin was a little lighter. Other than that, he couldn’t see any difference.
Okay, in that case, he could go swimming!
Because of his injury, Wang Yan had not done exercise for two days. He had nowhere to vent his energy and felt extremely uncomfortable.
He went to the swimming pool and was about to dive into the water when he recognized the three people in the pool.
Fu Yushi, Reyi Nawu, and Lu Yuanyuan.
The three girls were floating in a corner of the pool, pretending to be dead. They didn’t seem like to be doing sports, but more like they were here to cool off.
They were wearing swimming caps and goggles, so how did Wang Yan recognize them?
Well, when they were doing backstroke, one of them had revealed her outstanding feature.
Wang Yan waved at them but they didn’t see him. So he started to swim in his own lane.
A round trip of 50 meters was completed in about 30 seconds. He was as fast as a swordfish.
In fact, he was as fast as a national second-class athlete. After all, he hadn’t been trained and his skills were far from good. However, in a public swimming pool, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
After a few rounds, most of the people in the pool had noticed this amateur. Na Wu recognized Wang Yan very soon.
“Eh? That’s Wang Wang! God, he swims so fast!”
Fu Yushi widened her eyes and forgot to kick water. She slowly sank down and spat out a lot of bubbles.
“Cough cough! Pah Pah!”
“Wait a minute, does Gouzi have such skills? ! Are you sure it’s him?”
Looking at each other, Fu Yushi and Lu Yuanyuan couldn’t recover from their astonishment.
Little Liu Li was a lucky girl!
After staring at Wang Yan for a while, they realized that he was swimming with his head down. The girls were a little hesitant.
“Do you want to go and say hello?” Lu Yuanyuan asked.
“No.” Fu Yishi shook her head decisively. “We just stay here.”
Lu Yuanyuan smiled. “Little Princess, you always wait for men to come to you…”
But she was just saying it and didn’t actually mean to go.
After all, they were in a public swimming pool and there was no reason for a girl to go near a man who wasn’t her boyfriend.
Wang Yan didn’t come over, which meant that he knew the boundaries. Girls naturally had to be more reserved.
Just like that, they went their own ways.
Wang Yan swam for a few laps before the tension in his muscles started to relax. It was so comfortable.
Just as he was about to take a break by the pool and check on Na Wu and the others, a man patted him on the arm.
“Handsome, you swim pretty well, huh?”
“Huh? Not bad.”
Wang Yan was stunned. He glanced at the guy and found he was wearing a half-sleeved shirt and casual pants. His face was young, and from his attire, one could tell that he was not here to swim.
F*ck!
Wang Yan suddenly felt a little scared.
Could it be… that he became so charming that even a guy was attracted to him? !
Wang Yan was so frightened by this thought that his face turned ashen. Just as he was about to swim away, the young man suddenly spoke with a lecherous expression.
“Handsome, you are not a year-card member yet? Since you swim so well, do you have any plans to upgrade your membership? Recently, we have some special promotions, and I can give you a discount…”
F*ck! You scared me!
Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly felt like laughing.
Discount? !
Please don’t mention discount to me, okay?
I just want to spend money, and I hate discounts the most!
Are you going to make up for my lost experience points?
He didn’t bother to say anything. He shook his head and swam away.
The young man was so eager that he shouted from the shore, “70% discount! Handsome, aren’t you going to consider it? !”
Wang Yan had just emerged from the water when he heard this sentence. Before he could react, the system suddenly sent him a notification.
[You have enjoyed a great deal in the exercise and received a secret reward. ]
A thought suddenly appeared in Wang Yan’s mind: F*ck, could it be a 70% discount sports card?
A 70% discount on sports clothes and shoes? !
Wang Yan was almost amused by his own nonsense, so he quickly looked at the interface.
[Sports discount card ]
F*ck, he actually guessed it right…
Looking at it again, he found that it was not quite what he had expected.
[One-time card ]
[You can specify an item related to sports. You can buy it for only 70% of the total price. ]
[The system will pay for the remaining part.]
[Note: You can still get the experience points equivalent to the total price.]
Oh, not bad, huh?
If not for the note, this card wouldn’t worth much.
However, a 70% discount didn’t reduce his experience points, which meant a huge profit for him.
Immediately, Wang Yan decided to save the card and buy a Ferrari or something in the future.
Racing was a sport, right?
He heard that the best sports car cost 20 million yuan. A 70% discount would save him 6 million…
Fine, I’ll keep it then.
He’d have another item for his collection. It felt great!
Wang Yan happily did another 20 laps at his fastest speed.
When he was tired and went ashore, the three girls were still soaking in the water. They were drifting from the northeast corner to the northwest corner.
Wang Yan turned around and greeted them. “I’m ready to leave. Do you guys want to have dinner with me?”
Na Wu was always the most enthusiastic when it came to eating and playing. However, she declined regretfully today. “Shishi and I have things to do. You can ask Yuanyuan.”
Lu Yuanyuan was very gracious. She nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll take another good meal from you.”
Wang Yan said casually, “Why don’t we go out to eat? After we eat, you can show me around the city.”
Recently, when he wasn’t busy, Wang Yan would go out for a walk. There were too many places that were worth visiting in the capital , a thousand-year-old imperial city.
Moreover, going out with Lu Yuanyuan wasn’t a burden, because he wasn’t afraid of anyone overthinking it… After all, she was the ugliest one among them. Haha!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh. Nana and the others were baffled.
“Stupid!”
“Wang Wang, Bye Bye!”
Then, they parted ways and went on with their own business.
On the way back to school, Fu Yushi suddenly asked Nana, “Hey, have you noticed? It’s very comfortable to get along with Wang Yan.”
“Ah?” Na Wu was a little confused. “Isn’t it what it should be?”
“That’s why it’s so weird!”
With a look of disgust and disappointment, Fu Yushi asked, “Do you know another person like him in our acquantances?”
“Yes! Old Han!” Na Wu looked unconvinced.
“Old Han is our classmate. But we have only known Wang Yan for a few days!” Fu Yushi sighed. “Moreover, they are different. Look, who’d ask Old Han to treat them to meals? We all treat him like our little brother, right?”
Na Wu was completely confused. She really couldn’t tell the difference.
There was a difference? !
What was it? !
Therefore, Fu Yishi completely gave up on this topic. She couldn’t talk sense into an idiot.
In fact, the difference was obvious.
Han Luzhou was Wang Xue’s boyfriend and everyone’s classmate. If he was stripped away the first identity, he would be just an ordinary classmate, and they would treat him like a casual acquaintance.
Wang Yan, on the other hand, was a good friend who gave them a very comfortable feeling when they dealt with him. His relationship with Liu Li played a role in it but not a big one.
Even if he wasn’t Liu Li’s boyfriend, they who would still treat him as a friend and get along with him as before.
This was a very scary kind of charm.
Moreover, this kind of charm was increasing each day.
Fu Yishi, Lin Weiwei, and Lu Yuanyuan all felt, except for Na Wu who seemed to lack something in her brain.
Big Bear was brainless!
…
Lu Yuanyuan brought Wang Yan to eat Baodu, another classic delicacy in the capital.
While eating, Wang Yan couldn’t help but wonder why the capital’s delicacies were all related to animal’s internal organs?
Just like how everyone in the mining province loved to eat vinegar, it simply didn’t make sense.
While they were chatting, Lu Yuanyuan suddenly asked, “When are you two going to have sex?”
Oh My God…
Was this a question that a girl should ask? !
Wang Yan found it was almost impossible to talk to Lu Yuanyuan. Girls from the northeast were even harder to deal with than the native girls in the capital.
“I’m tired after swimming. I’m not in the mood to think about such a complicated question.”
Wang Yan tried to dodge the question.
“Tck!”Lu Yuanyuan curled her lips in disdain. “Men are all the same. If you were given a chance, you wouldn’t say you’re tired.”
Wang Yan was about to change the topic when a thought struck him.
Eh?
Wait..
Emm, maybe… she was right? !
Wang Yan instantly thought of the product that he couldn’t bring himself to buy in the mall and the [Sports discount card] that he had just obtained.
He didn’t have the time to deal with Lu Yuanyuan. Immediately he opened the mall in the system and murmured silently to the [The Chosen One] in the middle of the screen, “Use the sports discount card!”!
The system immediately gave him a response.
[You are about to use the sports discount card for a long-term sports item. From now on, you will receive a 70% discount for every sports purchase under this item. Do you want to confirm? ]
Wang Yan pondered for a while and finally confirmed… he seemed to have hit a jackpot!
He quickly asked again, “Is there a 70% discount every year when I use the special function of [The Chosen One] ?”
[Yes.]
“What about the purchase price?”
[You’ll enjoy the same discount.]
F*ck!
With a 70% discount of 5 million, it was 1.5 million cheaper.
If he used 10 million for the first time, he would save another 3 million…
Most importantly, he would still get the experience points!
Then what was he waiting for?
Buy It!
“Use confirmed!”
With a flash of light, [The Chose One] lay in the inventory, standing side by side with the king of tough-acting card, the gourmet card, and the drunken sincerity card.
Originally, Wang Yan was not interested in this item. Firstly, he felt that it was too expensive, and secondly, he thought it was not practical. But now he found it was a good deal to buy it with the discount card.
He just did not know if it would become his favorite purchase one day… Emmm.
After spending this huge sum of money, he felt better as he checked his experience points again.
585/2500. Finally, one-fifth of it had been reached.
There was still a long way to go before he could level up… Forget it, forget it. He was too lazy to do the math.
As for the cash, as of today, it had risen from 5.15 million to 540 million. He had spent a little more than 3.77 million, with only 1.63 million left.
However, it was enough to cover his expenses. The most recent large amount of spending was nothing more than a sea of flowers. Then he would just have to put a little deposit in the hotel.
However, the lottery plan had to be postponed
Of course, it was not a big problem.
After ten days of university, there would be half a month of military training. It would be easy to save money and build up the funds again.
Moreover, life was full of surprises. Who knew what would happen next?
Turning off the system panel, Wang Yan smiled in satisfaction, which made Lu Yuanyuan grin.
“Forget it, I can’t talk to you about Liu Li. Look at your lewd expression!”
What? I wasn’t thinking about that at all, okay? !
Fine, I’m in a good mood. You can say whatever you want.
After eating, Wang Yan decided to tour the nearby Eight Alleys.
Walking through alleys in the middle of the night… Emmm, as long as you guys are happy.
…
They walked until they were exhausted and then went back to sleep.
When he woke up, Wang Yan felt energetic and excited.
Before he finished his breakfast, Chen Xiang sent him the first version of the design, with a total of eight effect pictures.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Seeing this sentence from Wang Yan on her QQ, Chen Xiang could not help but feel comforted.
Then, at the next moment, another line of text appeared on her QQ.
“Redo it. I’m not satisfied.”
Ah? !
She was dumbfounded.
Chen Xiang was extremely anxious. She asked, “Can we talk on phone?”
Of course.
Wang Yan was really not satisfied, and he was not polite about it at all.
“This design of yours is too tacky. The girl I want to impress is 19 years old, a student of the Imperial Dance, and she has a very high aesthetic standard. I’ve already told you all this information. What were you thinking?”
Because he was young, he would definitely be looked down upon, no matter how rich he was.
On the surface, Chen Xiang respected Wang Yan very much, but in her heart, she still had a secret sense of superiority. She thought that since she was an expert, it would be easy for her to satisfy the romantic needs of a rich kid like him.
Obviously, it wasn’t easy.
Moreover, when Wang Yan lectured others, his words weren’t harsh and his voice wasn’t loud, but his aura was extremely intimidating.
“If the next edition is still this rubbish, our cooperation will end here. That’s all, Goodbye.”
Listening to the dead tone coming from her phone, Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment before she suddenly jumped up.
“Xiaomei, go and get me a cup of coffee!
“Bring me the design album from previous years!
“Go and bring all the flowers I asked for to match the colors!
“Get a lighting technician for wedding parties to tend to the lights!
“What are you all staring at? Hurry up!”
The studio was in a state of chaos as everyone got busy.
Wang Yan did not know about this and was not interested.
As long as the result was good, he would pay generously. If it was not good enough, he would fire her. It was the fairest thing in the world.
