Lin Feng leaned back on his creaky old couch, stretching his legs across the tiny coffee table. He absentmindedly stirred his instant noodles, letting out a sigh.
Just a few hours ago, he had dropped tens of millions on a penthouse—and then handed it over like a freebie.
And yet, here he was, sitting in his tiny rental apartment, sipping on two-yuan instant coffee like a broke college student.
"…Maybe I should've at least kept the furniture," he muttered.
Ding!
A crisp sound rang in his head. Lin Feng lazily glanced at the floating blue screen.
[System Mission Complete!]
Mission: Spend Money Like a Maniac (Success!)
Reward: 15% cashback on total spending.
Processing…
Lin Feng's eyes widened.
15% cashback?!
He did a quick mental calculation. He had spent around 80 million on the penthouse. That meant…
12 MILLION was coming back to him!
His shock only lasted a moment before the system's next notification popped up.
System Processing Fee: 2 million deducted.
Final Refund: 10 million.
"…Damn you, System."
[System: Processing fees keep the universe running, buddy.]
Lin Feng rubbed his temples. Fine. 10 million was still good. At least he wasn't totally broke.
Right then, his phone buzzed.
[Heavenly Circle Group Chat]
[Zhao Rui]: No way he just gave away a penthouse?!
[Chen Yuze]: Bro, even my dad doesn't spend like that…
[Guo Wenbin]: Mr. Poor Cigarette? More like Mr. Burn-Money-For-Fun.
[Yan Xiaoyu]: [Image] Thanks again, Mr. Poor Cigarette. Let's have dinner sometime.
[Lu Zhe]: ??!!
[Wang Haoran]: SHE JUST ASKED HIM OUT??
[Fang Kai]: This guy wins at life…
Lin Feng chuckled. Ah, nothing felt better than seeing a bunch of rich brats losing their minds.
But then, another system notification appeared.
[Ding! New Mission Unlocked!]
Mission: Climb the Social Ladder
Objective: Get officially recognized by a high-society figure.
Reward: System upgrade + mystery bonus.
System Note: Maybe try NOT giving away another penthouse this time? Just a suggestion.
Lin Feng scoffed. "I'll think about it."
He glanced at his phone, scrolling through the chat. He had gotten their attention. Now…
It was time to shake up high society even more.
