The male salesperson approached with a knowing smile that all men would understand. He pulled out the chair next to Wu Yun, sat down, and said, "See, sir? I wasn't lying! The car's charm is working its magic before you've even gotten the keys. You've already charmed away our most beautiful model!"
Then, the salesperson sighed dramatically. "Buy a car and get a model for free? We're taking a huge loss on this one! Haha! But on to business. Mr. Wu, are you interested in this one on the floor, or would you like to do a private configuration and customize the color?"
The salesperson took out a tablet displaying photos of the Aventador LP 700-4 in various colors.
Wu Yun flipped through the photos, and his eyes froze when he saw the black Aventador LP 700-4. He couldn't look away.
"I want the black one," Wu Yun said, pointing at the photo of the supercar, which looked like a black phantom.
"Excellent. Now for the optional features. Please check off the configurations you'd like," the salesperson said, handing him a form listing various features and their prices.
Wu Yun glanced at the list, barely looking at the prices next to each item, and started ticking his way down the page with a pen.
Watching Wu Yun flaunt his wealth, the salesperson felt a pang of envy. 'At eighteen, other guys get fast cars and beautiful women,' he thought. 'At eighteen, I was cluelessly watching romance dramas.'
Just as the salesperson's mind began to wander, Wu Yun finished checking the boxes and said, "All done. Calculate the total for me."
The salesperson quickly took the form, furiously tapped at his calculator, and after checking the sum two or three times, he said, "Mr. Wu, the total comes to 8.2 million yuan. Will you be financing or paying in full?"
"In full, of course! Oh, and help me get the license plate sorted before I pick it up. Just add the cost to the total," Wu Yun said, thinking of what a hassle getting plates could be.
"Our company provides complimentary registration services, Mr. Wu. We also have a selection of premium vanity plates. Would you be interested in taking a look? A cool car needs a cool license plate to truly complement your dashing image," the salesperson added, starting his next upsell.
Wu Yun thought it made sense. Driving a supercar was already a high-profile statement, so getting a vanity plate to show off his status could informally solve a lot of potential problems down the line.
In the end, Wu Yun chose the license plate Shu A·Y6666. Including the plate, the Aventador LP 700-4 cost him a total of 8.3 million yuan.
After receiving a confirmation call from the bank, Wu Yun successfully paid for the Lamborghini.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wu, on becoming a distinguished Lamborghini owner! Your car will be ready for pickup in approximately two to four weeks. Let's add each other on WeChat so we can contact you when it arrives."
Wu Yun and the Lamborghini salesperson, whose name was Qiao Xin, added each other on WeChat. Afterward, Wu Yun was invited to have a staff meal behind the scenes at the Lamborghini booth.
During lunch, Wu Yun took a picture of the signed contract, showing the price, and made his first-ever post to his WeChat Moments: "My first car in life!"
The auto show didn't stop for lunch; the staff just ate in shifts.
After finishing his meal, Wu Yun left the Lamborghini booth with Qiao Xin seeing him off.
As he was leaving, Wu Yun glanced back at the spot where the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 was displayed and saw Wen Meng make a "call me" gesture at him.
This caused the surrounding crowd, who might have been there for the cars or the models, to stare at Wu Yun, wondering who this divine being was that had managed to hook a beautiful model.
Having achieved his goal for the day, Wu Yun didn't leave right away. Instead, he continued to wander around the other exhibits.
What Wu Yun didn't know was that the news of an eighteen-year-old buying the "Big Bull" had once again spread like wildfire through the convention center's group chats.
Wu Yun was just wondering why the salespeople at these other booths were so enthusiastic. At every exhibit he visited, a salesperson would come up and ask to add him on WeChat.
........
After a busy half-day, Wu Yun retrieved his things from the hotel and finally returned to his old house via a DiDi.
He took a refreshing shower and lay comfortably on his bed. Tapping open his WeChat, he saw the red notification icon on his Moments tab and knew his post had blown up.

'Jeez,' Wu Yun thought, looking at the first dozen or so comments. 'Did I stumble into a nest of salespeople?'
After replying to each of them, Wu Yun continued scrolling down.
Aunt Tang: "Young man, when are you going to meet my daughter?"
Wu Yun slapped his forehead. 'How could I forget to block her?'
Qi Fei: "Well now, junior, you've really been holding out on us!"
Wu Ying: "Little brother, you're the one to cling to now! I want in!"
Jiang Xinyi: "Little brother, that spot is mine."
The subsequent comments were just Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi bickering with each other.
Wu Yun replied to Qi Fei: "Senior, I'm saving the passenger seat for you… [smirk]"
Then he replied to both Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi: "Don't fight. You can each have a thigh. You can share the middle one."
After replying to the messages, Wu Yun focused his attention on his character panel.
Character Level 4 (8,571,087/10,000,000).
A level-up was within sight. Wu Yun opened the system store and purchased the Intermediate Detection Glasses.
System EXP +1,000,000. Character Level 4 (9,571,087/10,000,000). New balance: 43,800,030.5 yuan.

Then he spent another 500,000 to raise all five of his base attributes to 70.

Seeing that the level-up would take a while, Wu Yun picked up his phone and started replying to messages.
"Junior, come rescue me! My feet are about to fall off from practicing, and the instructor yelled at me again today!" Qi Fei sent, along with a miserable-looking emoji.
Wu Yun: "I'll be there to practice tomorrow morning!"
...
In the three-person group chat with Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi, Wu Yun @-mentioned both women and said, "My startup capital has arrived! Tell me about any development plans you have, or put together a proposal. If it's viable, I can invest some money."
Wu Yun planned to look into business development plans later, but his main focus definitely wasn't here. The massive trend of the internet was waiting for him to jump on it.
"At your command, our benefactor!"
"Little brother, can you tell us how much you can invest?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"Is five hundred million enough?" Wu Yun said, making a suggestive joke.
"Hey! I'm being serious."
"It depends on your plans. And I'll have to consult some experts, too!"

DING. System upgrade successful.
