The villa Lü Tong booked had three floors and was fully loaded with a karaoke room, a pool table, board games, and a mahjong machine—it had everything.
The rooms came in various themes as well.
A honeymoon suite, a large communal room, a room for the elderly—the setup was pretty decent.
Qi Sheng and his friends had no complaints. They were his boys; they wouldn't be picky.
Besides, with all the entertainment facilities, they were more than satisfied.
After a quick tour of the place, they picked out their rooms.
The guys couldn't wait to get their hands on the phone and experience the charm of Huawei's top-tier flagship model.
"Tsk, look at these curves. They're so damn sexy."
"No wonder it costs over ten thousand. The feel is just incredible."
"512GB of storage. This thing is gonna fly!"
Looking at his friends acting like they'd never seen anything so amazing,
Qi Sheng smiled. 'He hadn't been much better himself when he first got it.'
"Alright, that's enough. It's just a phone. No need to hype it up so much."
He said that, but he couldn't stop fiddling with his new phone.
A rare, vanity number and a price tag of nearly twenty thousand.
It all still felt a bit unreal to him.
'Making over two million a year is just this awesome.'
As for the upgrade requirements, the system had already given him instructions.
All he needed to do was date one girlfriend with a comprehensive rating of A-Level or higher to complete the initial advancement mission.
In the system's words, for a guy like him with a cheat...
...if he couldn't even get a high-scoring girlfriend, he might as well just slit his own throat.
They'd just finished a bit of karaoke when the bride's relatives started bringing over the food they had cooked.
There were eight dishes in total: fish, shrimp, ribs, and some simple cold dishes. It was quite a spread.
There were no outsiders in the villa, just the guys from their dorm.
So it wasn't awkward at all.
They laughed and joked, enjoying the meal immensely.
"Great Saint, hold off on the drinks for a bit. Come with me to pick up two groups of guests. I'm leaving the bridesmaids to you."
Lü Tong winked at Qi Sheng.
It was supposed to be his job, but now he was "gloriously" passing the torch.
"Pick up the bridesmaids?"
Qi Sheng had just raised his glass when a thought struck him.
'If I remember correctly, the bridesmaids for Lü Tong's wedding are pretty high-quality.'
'One of them was stunning, someone he couldn't forget for a long time in his past life.'
'He just didn't know if she would qualify as an A-Level beauty by the system's standards.'
"Yeah, your sister-in-law has too many relatives coming, so we're short on people to pick up the bridesmaids."
"We can't just have them take a taxi, so I have to trouble you with this."
Lü Tong added with a teasing smile,
"And just so you know, none of the four bridesmaids have boyfriends. Don't say I didn't give you a heads-up."
"Holy shit, Brother Tong, you for real?"
Aside from one roommate who was already engaged and not serving as a groomsman,
the remaining three "hungry wolves" started rubbing their hands in glee, already fantasizing about playing some of the more... stimulating wedding games with the bridesmaids.
"Your sister-in-law is actually the plainest one in her dorm. Among these four bridesmaids, there's a famous beauty from their university."
"Even though it's a tech university, this girl's looks are seriously off the charts. I've seen her picture. She's an absolute campus belle."
Lü Tong declared, patting his chest confidently.
"Sigh, with Brother Sheng around, we've got no shot at the prettiest one," Wu Peng said. "I'm not picky. I'll be happy with any girl who doesn't look down on me."
Wu Peng knew his own league and didn't dare to dream of catching the eye of a campus belle.
In their dorm, Qi Sheng was the only one with the real capital.
'With an Audi A8 in the picture, what girl could he not win over?'
...
After a quick bite, the others stayed at the villa to hang out.
Qi Sheng followed Lü Tong to the parking lot.
They got into their respective cars and headed straight for Jia City Railway Station.
Once they reached the underground parking garage, the two of them checked the train schedule.
They still had a few minutes, so they chatted casually to kill time.
Truth be told, Lü Tong was feeling a little down.
He'd always thought he was the best off in their dorm, but then Qi Sheng had gone and completely blindsided him.
Before long, a wave of passengers surged toward them.
A few stunning figures stood out from the crowd, striding toward them on long, pale legs.
The most dazzling of them all was a girl with long, straight black hair who stood about 170 cm tall.
Her silky hair, dark as ink, cascaded down to her delicate shoulders.
Her features were as exquisite as a painting, utterly flawless.
Even her companions, who were pretty in their own right,
were reduced to being unremarkable wallflowers next to her.
"Hello, are you Yang Wanying's boyfriend?"
The girl's eyes landed on Lü Tong. Her voice was clear and gentle, instantly endearing.
"Yes, I'm Lü Tong. You must be Wanying's roommates, right? This is my roommate, Qi Sheng!"
Lü Tong was stunned by her beauty as well. He snapped out of his daze after a moment and eagerly took the other girls' luggage.
He deliberately left the suitcase belonging to the girl with the long, straight hair for Qi Sheng.
"Hi, thank you for coming all this way to pick us up."
When the girl saw Qi Sheng walk over and take her suitcase, she thanked him politely. "Thank you. My name is Tan Hua."
"Nice name. I'm Qi Sheng."
'It was the first time Qi Sheng had ever met anyone with the surname "Tan".'
'The name suited her perfectly.'
[Name: Tan Hua]
[Age: 22]
[Height: 170cm]
[Weight: 50kg]
[Appearance: 93]
[Figure: 94]
[Special: 100]
[Overall Rating: A]
'A woman rated A-Level by the system was bound to be extraordinary in real life.'
'An Appearance score of 93. A total knockout.'
'Her figure was also stacked. Even in a loose-fitting dress, her curvaceous body was obvious.'
Her long, straight, pale legs were especially dazzling under the lights.
In that short time alone, at least twenty or thirty men had let their gazes drift over Tan Hua.
When they reached the parking spot, Tan Hua and her friends weren't surprised to see the E300.
They'd already heard in their group chat that Lü Tong's family was well-off.
The E300 had also made an appearance on Yang Wanying's social media feed.
However, the Florett Silver A8 parked next to it gave them quite a shock.
A million-yuan luxury car was in a completely different league.
Especially since the owner was their age.
The other three girls subconsciously left the front passenger seat for Tan Hua.
'A rich guy and a beautiful girl—that's just how society works.'
Tan Hua wasn't shy. She sat down gracefully in the passenger seat and skillfully buckled her seatbelt.
While chatting with her friends, her beautiful eyes would occasionally sweep over Qi Sheng's fairly handsome face.
Thanks to his enhanced looks, combined with the million-yuan A8,
the girls' impression of Qi Sheng was through the roof.
Before long, they had managed to get most of his basic information out of him.
Graduated from a second-tier university, an only child, the car was in his name, and his monthly allowance was in the tens of thousands (averaged out after the car purchase).
Qi Sheng didn't mind sharing these less important details.
'With Tan Hua's appearance, the system's upgrade mission finally seemed possible.'
'Qi Sheng felt a sense of relief.'
'Even without the system's requirement, he would have definitely looked for a girlfriend who was outstanding in every way.'
'When he was broke, he couldn't afford to be picky. But now that he had money, why not find a total knockout for a girlfriend?'
'Things like "solo work" could finally be a thing of the past.'
By the time they got back to the villa, the "hungry wolves" who had been waiting with bated breath were already gathered near the parking lot.
As soon as the engine cut off, they rushed over.
Tan Hua stepped out of the passenger seat, and everyone was instantly captivated.
Even Lü Tong had to silently remind himself of the groom's code of conduct to keep from losing his composure.
Tan Hua wasn't surprised by the reactions of Wu Peng and the others.
She had been on the receiving end of such gazes from men her whole life; she was used to it.
As long as she paid them no mind, their stares were meaningless.
If she hadn't been so close with Yang Wanying, she probably would have never set foot in a small city like this in her entire life.
But fate worked in mysterious ways sometimes.
Especially for someone like Qi Sheng, who, with his new cheat, had just run into a knockout beauty who ticked all his boxes.
'Let's be real, if he couldn't win Tan Hua over, he'd go wash his hair while doing a handstand!'
