Eh?
Reward was activated while walking?
God loved me too much!
Young Master Wang was very excited. He woke up from that peace and opened the panel full of expectation.
[ You experience peace and tranquility in the air, so a secret reward is activated. ]
[ Tranquility ]
[ Status Halo ]
[ Your sleep is fast and deep. When you wake up naturally, you will feel extremely relaxed. ]
[ In the long run, the decline of your body’s condition will greatly slow down, and your lifespan will be effectively extended. ]
[ In your sleep, your breathing rate will slow down, but your breathing wages will be five times higher than before. ]
[ Note: Your sleep time will vary according to your physique and your level of fatigue. Normally, you only need seven hours of sleep to meet the needs of a day’s activities. ]
[ Tranquility will replace the previous strong sleep. ]
Interesting…
Wang Yan pondered over the changes, feeling a little complicated.
The new halo was undoubtedly a godly skill, but it was more suitable for a 35-year-old in his prime.
Wang Yan, who was only 20 years old, did not need the two godly effects of extending his physiological peak and life span.
After replacing the original strong sleep, he needed to sleep three hours more every day. To some extent, it slowed down the learning and accumulation of his youth.
Three hours was really not a small amount. It was enough for Wang Yan to finish his studies with [ high-efficiency reading ] and deal with the daily work of the company.
If he had to squeeze, of course, he could squeeze these three hours back from somewhere else.
But, that was equivalent to not wasting too much time…
As someone who didn’t want to waste too much time, the young master was a little unhappy.
Well, for the time being, the value of the two special effects was equal!
As for the rest of the corresponding special effects…
[ Strong sleep ] nap was a permanent god of war skill. If I lost it, I would probably fall from the throne of the Duck King?!
Oh my God, I wouldn’t be able to settle the two of them in the future…
I might not even be able to settle a rich Ye woman…
But if one were to calculate carefully, he would earn 1.4 million from rich Ye in three days. Now, he would probably earn one million from sleeping one night. It wasn’t a loss, right?
Pui!
How could it not be a loss!
How could a little money compare to a man’s dignity?
How powerful I would be waking up from a nap!
However, this brother is indeed poor now…
With much thinking, Wang Yan’s brain was about to split.
[ Tranquility ] breathing wages was a godly development skill. Originally, the daily breathing wages were around 1.18-1.23 million, and the difference wasn’t big. It mainly depended on whether there was any intense exercise that day.
In the few days that he met Ye Ziwen, the highest he got was 1.3 million. That was really satisfying and profitable.
Now, it was even more, with at least one million for seven hours, and 80 plus for 17 sober hours. The total was around 1.8 to 1.9 million.
A month… at least 55 million?!
F*ck, it could solve a lot of problems!
It was still only a level 10 system. If it was upgraded once or twice, and the [ tranquility ] state wasn’t replaced..
Wouldn’t it mean that I would have to fly?!
No, I had to think of a way to solidify the new halo!
If the nap was gone, so be it. If I spent 100 million on my physique, I would still be the Duck King Wang!
Young Master Wang, who was a little unhappy about losing the ability to nap, was now thinking about solidifying the halo instead. Therefore, the nature of humans was such…
Tsk tsk!
…
Liu Li did not realize Wang Yan’s change. She only felt that her lover had suddenly become lively, like a husky that could not be held back.
She snickered and asked, “Tired of shopping?”
Wang Yan nodded. “Let’s go and eat. I have to go back to the mountain in the afternoon.”
The snow on the mountain road had not melted yet, so it was too risky to walk at night. Moreover, there was still the matter of the blueprint, so it was not good to delay until tomorrow.
Liu Li was extremely reluctant. “You will only be back on the 5th?”
“On the night of the 4th or the morning of the 5th. We have a high school gathering on the 28th, so we will be even busier after that.”
“Are there any beauties among your classmates?”
Eh, that wasn’t a question of whether or not there were any..
The young master felt a headache coming on. He thought for a moment and very cleverly asked, “You’re not afraid of He Miaomiao, so why would you care about a few high school classmates?”
Liu Li was stunned and roared in her heart, who said that I was not afraid of He Miaomiao?!
Did you misunderstand me?!
Of course, she did not show any fear on the surface. She waved her hand casually and said, “I’m just asking.”
Hmm, it’s interesting!
Young Master Wang held back his laughter and revealed a bit of the truth.
“There was a girl that I had a crush on in high school. However, my good impression of her was ruined after the college entrance examination ended during the holiday. I haven’t contacted her since then. I don’t know if she will go to the party, but whether she goes or not won’t move me anymore.
As I already have Sanwan, the best in the world…”
Liu Li was coaxed until she was beaming with joy. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t control herself. She bared her teeth and nodded happily. “You really know how to talk! Go then, consider yourself as having passed the test!”
She didn’t ask how the good impression was ruined, which saved Wang Yan from the hassle to explain.
Otherwise, he would have to tell her about the embarrassing incident at Liu Weilong’s graduation party back then, as well as the change in his mind after he had completely seen through the difference in class.
However, if he were to tell the truth, it would not explain the current image of the rich second generation…
It was really difficult to hide the fact that he was cheating. Wang Yan had done so many designs, but he still needed time to cover up many traces.
Well, another one or two years.
Therefore, in two years, he should avoid letting Sanwan meet his parents until his parents had some real nobility.
They didn’t need to be as particular as the city’s rich, but at least they couldn’t be timid when it came to spending money.
It wasn’t only Sanwan, Pingzhi, Miaomiao, Brother Hu, and all other friends, he needed to keep the distance from their families in the short term.
Personal friendship was fine, but it couldn’t go any deeper. He had to try her best to avoid it.
While Wang Yan was deep in thought, Liu Li stopped asking. She smiled while looking at the quiet side of Gouzi’s face.
It was only when turning back to the main road of the Century, she began to think what to eat.
“Do you need to control your figure during the holidays?” Wang Yan initiated to ask.
Liu Li nodded. “Of course, the amount of exercise during the holidays is small. It has to be more strictly controlled than when I was in school. I can’t even eat big meat.”
The young master pondered for a moment. “Then what about Japanese food?”
It was not that he blindly worshipped Japanese food, but in terms of low fat, low salt, and low sugar, Japanese food was indeed better.
“Okay.”
Liu Li didn’t have any objections. The two of them discussed for a while and headed straight to Ying Gu Tian on the side of the Century.
That was the best Japanese cuisine shop in Gu Jiao. The six small private rooms were not empty until lunchtime. The restaurant meal set was 598 per person. It was considered a luxury self-service meal even in a big city.
Of course, ala carte was even more expensive.
When Wang Yan and Liu Li arrived at the shop, it was already a little past one o’clock. However, the private rooms were still not empty, so they could only follow the waiter to the dining table.
Before they arrived, Liu Li suddenly tightened her grip on Wang Yan’s hand. The young master looked up — hey, the ill-fated relationship continued!
There were already two people sitting at the dining table, a man and a lady. They were Duanmu and Li Yunyin.
When Wang Yan looked up, Li Yunyin was quietly withdrawing her gaze and lowering her head to take out her phone.
Liu Li also did not like the encounter by chance. Just as she was about to call the waiter to change seats, Duanmu seemed to have sensed something and looked up, just in time to see the two of them.
“Eh? Liu Li!”
Why are you so excited, Daddy?!
That’s my wife!
Young Master Wang wasn’t angry, but he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Wasn’t that Li Yunyin smelled good when you grabbed her?
She had a good appearance, a good figure, and a special… Oh, I haven’t checked her score, mainly because I couldn’t bear to part with that Milky Way Alliance.
I was poor now…
Anyway, no matter what her score was, she was definitely a great beauty, the kind that was worthy of anyone’s attention.
In the end, when Duanmu greeted them, the atmosphere instantly became a little weird.
The two beauties had originally been quite taciturn, pretending that neither of them had seen the other, but the silly guy exposed them in one go. Now, they couldn’t continue pretending anymore.
“Hello, what a coincidence.”
Sanwan felt disgusted, but she had no choice and greeted them.
“Yes, yes, what a coincidence! You haven’t eaten either? Come and sit down!”
Duanmu happily invited them to sit down, and Li Yunyin had no choice but to stand up with him and smile politely–
Six teeth. Tsk, tsk, that was the standard.
Now that they could no longer refuse, Liu Li went up to them and kindly gave them one last reminder. “Won’t we disturb you? I feel like we’re like lightbulbs.”
Duanmu hurriedly nodded. “No, you won’t disturb us, you won’t! We’re all classmates, it’s been a long time since we last met each other. It’s a good time to chat!”
Young Master Wang almost burst out laughing. He only had one feeling: Brother, you’re hopeless!
Liu Li did not reject him anymore and sat opposite Li Yunyin with a smile.
Wang Yan was about to take out his money when he saw Duanmu open his wallet and elegantly take out a card. “It’s my treat! I have his VIP card and there’s still a lot of money in it. Please do not reject me.”
Generous!
But what were you trying to achieve?
Wang Yan didn’t understand. He felt that his experience and wisdom weren’t enough.
He looked at Liu Li, she sighed and nodded.
She mainly considered that there were a lot of customers around, so it wasn’t good to reject for such a small amount of money.
Wang Wang usually paid the bill. It was normal for him to spend more than 100,000 yuan at a time. It wasn’t worth it to fight over 1,000 yuan.
The key point was that Duanmu was a simple-minded person. He didn’t know when to stop, so he could only take a step back.
Wang Yan saw the look in her eyes and understood what she was thinking. So, he took back his wallet and thanked him generously. “Thank you for your hospitality. Then, we will not be impolite to reject you.”
Duanmu took out the money and was satisfied.
“It’s just a small amount of money. Don’t stand on ceremony! Brother, are you a local?”
He was already trying to negotiate?
Wang Yan smiled and nodded. “Yes, I graduated from Experimental.”
“Yo! Half an alumnus… you also went to university in the capital?”
“No, in the South.”
“Eh? It’s a foreign land… Then when did you get together with our class belle?”
Impatient, domineering, and shrewd.
This was the so-called warm-hearted man by Sanwan?
With just three sentences, Wang Yan was able to accurately determine the characteristics of the other party. He was a little puzzled.
It was actually dark under the lamp.
Most of the boys in their 20s were of this character. It was extremely rare for someone to be as mature and profound as Wang Yan which was an anomaly.
After all, he was forcefully matured by the secret and could not be compared to normal situations.
Wang, Jiang, Yin, Li, and even the previous generation’s Ma Lei, Liu, and the others had done a lot of silly things when they were young, let alone a mere mining city’s second generation?
Wang Yan judged others based on himself. He always felt that most of the second generation of the rich should be smart, cautious, and shrewd. It was completely a deviation in his thinking.
After confirming the other party’s level, the young master became more casual. “Last August.”
There was one sentence that he answered without being curious at all.
Li Yunyin, who was opposite him, was the kind of girl who did not speak much. She quietly looked at Wang Yan and Liu Li, and her reserved smile seemed to be frozen on her face.
Duanmu asked a few more questions about how Wang Yan and Liu Li met, and Wang Yan easily dealt with them. Suddenly, the topic changed.
“Which year were you in the Experimental? I studied in the Experimental in my first year of high school, but I don’t think I had seen you before.”
“I’m one year younger than Liu Li.”
The young master turned his head to look at Sanwan, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes. “Miss, you’re an old cow eating young grass!”
Sanwan understood, and she grabbed Wang Yan’s thigh under the table. She was reluctant to pinch it, so she flicked her finger.
Pa!
Hiss…
It felt a little sour but refreshing.
Duanmu did not notice the interaction between the two of them. He continued to interrogate Wang Yan.
“Eh? Then are you in the same class as my sister? Do you know Duanmu Chuge?”
“Yes, but I don’t know her.”
The young master shook his head. He recalled that time when the nightclub booked the entire place for a carnival.
It was said that Duanmu Chuge went to sit for a while but did not go upstairs. Therefore, Wang Yan did not really come into contact with that golden flower. Presumably, she would not have any deep impression of Wang Yan.
And this was the only time the two of them interacted.
Duanmu Qinwu’s attitude suddenly had a subtle change.
“No wonder I’ve never heard of you before…”
Mining City wasn’t rich, and the upper circle was even smaller. Even if they didn’t know each other, they would still have heard of it.
They hadn’t heard of it at all. In addition, the shabby Wrangler outside made Duanmu think that he had already confirmed Wang Yan’s status.
Therefore, his next question became even more impolite.
“Brother, your luck is pretty good. How did you trick our class belle? Back then, she didn’t really care about anyone…”
Brother Doggie clearly felt the provocation, but he wasn’t angry at all. He just found it inexplicably funny.
Therefore, he seriously helped him analyze, “It should be the wrong timing. Li Li only wanted to take the Dance Group exam in high school and she didn’t have any intention of dating. After university, she gradually let go of her feelings, and then I happened to meet someone with similar characteristics… this is fate, right?”
Duanmu was so agitated by this analysis that the corner of his mouth twitched.
What Li Li? Fate? It was really heart-wrenching.
What was even more exciting was that Liu Li was in a great mood. She leaned forward and gave Wang Yan a peck on the cheek. That smile was so sweet that it made her want to cry.
Li Yunyin couldn’t take it anymore. Her smile disappeared and the corner of her mouth was pursed tightly.
Wang Yan felt that she was even more beautiful at this time. Her upper lips naturally curled up, and her shape was unique and seductive.
Therefore, Duanmu was really an idiot…
He didn’t even know how to catch such an ingratiating woman. Instead, he was reluctant to part with someone else’s girlfriend. What was going on in his mind?
Duanmu really didn’t know what was going on, or perhaps he really thought that his conditions were better than Wang Yan’s, so he still forcefully asked.
“Brother, I’m studying Political Law. Yunyin is in Central Music, and Liu Li is in Dance Group. We’re not far from each other. Which university are you in? Let’s get together if there’s a chance.”
He had already known that he was in a foreign land, so he was just being stubborn.
However, the young master did not seem to mind. He continued to speak the truth, “Xing Cheng Normal University seems to be quite difficult to gather.”
“That far?”
Duanmu’s eyes lit up. He finally found an opportunity and tilted his head to look at Liu Li.
“Old classmate, your thoughts are still so… er, unique. It’s not easy to go to the capital after graduating from second grade. The two of you have to plan ahead…”
It sounded like he was concerned, but in fact, he almost directly asked, “Liu Li, are you blind?”.
Liu Li frowned and her smile faded. For the first time, her expression became unhappy.
