137: Chapter 137 One Million to Leave My Daughter

[You interacted with Ling Rui, luckily obtaining multiplier silver card * 2]

Plus the Level 4 Favorability Treasure Chest

[Obtained multiplier silver card (permanent), Attribute Point * 18]

His multiplier silver cards finally reached four, giving him a bit more confidence.

Favorability Treasure Chests could yield Skill Upgrade Cards, but since he had destroyed his previous skill cards, the upgrade cards were useless, so he chose to destroy them as well.

He didn't want to awaken such overpowered attributes.

Having played until very late last night, Xiao Sub was sleeping soundly, but Zhao Xiaoshuai, due to his precise biological clock, still woke up before seven o'clock.

Although he had been staying up late consecutively recently, his mental state did not look sluggish at all.

Generally speaking, if you don't sleep well at night, it is very difficult to make up for it by sleeping in.

That is where the saying "waking up early makes you stupid all day" comes from.

However, the Meditation method provided by the system evidently allowed him to enter deep sleep, which enabled him to make up for all the lost sleep through short periods of Meditation.

Thinking of the benefits, he performed the Meditation task again, attempting to complete the third stage reward.

This time, a full fifty-eight minutes passed before a "ding" sound signaled that he had narrowly met the task requirements.

[Task: Advanced Meditation]

[Stage Three Task Goal: Achieve the effect of three hours of sleep through less than one hour of Meditation]

[Completed]

[Control + 2, multiplier card Pack (10), Health Rating increased]

[multiplier card * 8]

[multiplier copper card * 2]

Although it seemed like it only increased by one hour, the difficulty nearly doubled with each stage increased.

"It actually rewards one point of Control, that's pretty good. But it seems this is my current limit; for higher stages, I'll have to find a master to teach me."

He had a great time playing yesterday; he could only say that the game of "obeying orders and stopping on a dime" was... indescribably wonderful.

As everyone knows, before neural excitement occurs, muscles will continue to twitch, and stopping at that moment is indeed an indescribable experience.

Although it couldn't compare to the Tenth Heavenly Palace, it was far beyond the experience most people could give.

Because he had regained his vitality, thinking of this, Uncle Chen came to visit again.

It just so happened that he had always wanted to test just how soundly Xiao Sub, who was rock-solid and impossible to wake up when sleeping, could actually sleep.

...

...

Facts proved that Ling Rui was truly amazing; she was still asleep even when he left.

Zhao Xiaoshuai left her some molten lava buns for breakfast and left her house.

However, as soon as he got downstairs, he was immediately blocked by a burly person wearing black sunglasses and a suit.

"Mr. Zhao Xiaoshuai, right? My boss wants to see you."

In broad daylight, he actually ran into a plot twist like something out of a movie?

But Zhao Xiaoshuai was not a pushover. After studying the various materials attached to [Task: The Godly Rich Man Knows Martial Arts] during this period, his combat power had reached 10, and he had obtained rich rewards of Agility +1, Strength +1, and Control +1.

This roughly meant that he could now take on two of his former robust selves.

Through Insightful Eye, he could see the combat power value; he wanted to see what kind of player this was.

"I am Zhao Xiaoshuai. Who is your boss?"

[Ding! Unlocked Stranger Codex: Liu Hu]

[Combat Power: 27]

Zhao Xiaoshuai's eyes instantly became clear.

"Our boss is Miss Ling's father."

Zhao Xiaoshuai obediently followed the man in sunglasses into the car, definitely not because of the other party's mere 27 combat power.

After all, he had just made molten lava buns for their daughter, and since her father had come looking for him, he should go meet him.

The Ling Family mansion was not in the city center, so its area was exceptionally large.

At the very least, this living room was more than twice as big as Zhao Xiaoshuai's house.

The furnishings inside were antique and elegant, and the furniture was almost all made of red sandalwood and yellow pear wood.

A dozen minutes later, a noblewoman with a rather imposing aura walked in.

The noblewoman had a beautiful face, her temperament was elegant yet carried a hint of sharpness, and she looked 70% similar to Ling Rui, so she must be Ling Rui's mother.

A gentlemanly and decent man followed one step behind her and eventually sat in the seat beside her.

It seems these were Ling Rui's parents.

Ling Weiqin had obtained Zhao Xiaoshuai's profile before the New Year.

She took one look at it at the time and stopped paying attention, to the point that she couldn't be bothered to look at the subsequent updated investigation contents.

What was there to see?

Thirty years old, an employee of a small subsidiary under their own company, who had also become unemployed a while ago.

This kid had been working at that company since graduation, and his family situation was clearly stated in the profile.

Except for the photo not quite matching, the content inside had nothing of value.

But it was such an ordinary kid who had nothing, who actually dared to take her precious daughter's first time!

Ling Weiqin was suppressing her anger, so when she spoke, her tone was very impolite:

"One million, leave my daughter."

Zhao Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment.

He was still thinking about how to explain that it was actually their daughter who was clinging to him, and he was just reluctantly satisfying their daughter's strange hobbies.

He just suddenly heard this sentence.

He leaned back and smiled contemptuously.

Ling Weiqin frowned, "What, is it too little? Young man, stop dreaming of a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Wanting to marry into a wealthy family is not that easy."

The Ling Family Son-in-law adjusted his appearance.

Zhao Xiaoshuai laughed even more happily; the other party actually thought he was pursuing Ling Rui and even wanted to marry into the family?

Calming his mood, he held up one finger and said indifferently: "Ten million."

[Ding! Unlocked Stranger Codex: Ling Weiqin (7.68)]

[System Prompt: Target is over forty years old, it is not recommended for the host to pursue]

[Congratulations to the host for luckily obtaining a multiplier silver card]

"Young man, your appetite is quite big, but aren't you being a bit whimsical? Do you know that I have ten thousand ways to make your second half of life worse than death?"

"No, no, no, Mrs. Ling, you misunderstood. It's just that since you can put a price tag on your own daughter, then I won't be polite either."

"My meaning is, ten million, I will buy your daughter. From now on, she will be my servant, and you cannot interfere in the slightest."

Zhao Xiaoshuai could be considered very kind, raising a request that had already been realized.

But Ling Rui's parents obviously did not appreciate it.

"Unreasonable! Kid, I think you're tired of living!"

Father Ling slammed the table and stood up, about to grab something to fight him, and several bodyguards also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Ling Weiqin raised an eyebrow but waved her hand to stop everyone, "Everyone calm down."

Orders were obeyed, and everyone, including Father Ling, quieted down.

Only Father Ling was still glaring angrily at Zhao Xiaoshuai.

Ling Weiqin took a little interest in this young man who remained calm throughout, "Young man, empty words and bluffing are of no use."

"You had better think about what kind of life you can live for the rest of your life with one million, instead of acting on impulse."

Zhao Xiaoshuai became increasingly brazen, crossed his legs, and said casually:

"Then go draft an agreement. I will buy Ling Rui for ten million cash right now, full payment."

Ling Weiqin was truly surprised this time; the other party's aura, tone, and demeanor did not look fake.

Could he really have ten million?

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful; she had waved her hand and thrown the latest investigation data delivered to her this morning into the trash can.

But this could only be remedied afterwards; now she could not weaken her stance.

"My daughter is a priceless treasure, naturally not something money can measure."

"But if you can truly prove that you have ten million in assets, then it is not impossible for me to give you a chance to pursue my daughter."

Although in her expectations, her precious daughter should at least find a husband of equal social status.

But since the deed was done, she could take a small step back.

Zhao Xiaoshuai was a bit helpless.

It's not like I'm pursuing your daughter; it's your daughter, that lunatic, who clings to me every single day.

If I don't TJ her, she'll cause me trouble every day!

But after interacting for so long, there was some affection that had grown over time; now, asking him to give up Xiao Sub, he really was a bit reluctant.

The current Zhao Xiaoshuai was no longer an unknown person; legends about him had already begun to circulate in the world.

"Uncle, Aunt, you must have just returned to the country. If you had paid attention to the local news, you wouldn't have asked this question."
