56: Chapter 56 Powerful Potion!
"Xiaoran, do you like this scent?"
Shen Zhou looked at the various fragrance options displayed on the button, ready to switch at any moment.
"Let's go with this one."
Chen Xiaoran's voice became even softer,
yet her eyes grew brighter.
Brother Shen really has such a sense of ceremony.
No wonder he wanted to bring me here to watch a movie.
At this moment, Shen Zhou couldn't help but praise Brother System in his heart.
"Praise be to Brother System, your attention to detail is simply impeccable!"
Soon, a two-and-a-half-hour movie began.
Accompanied by ships entering the harbor, waves continuously crashed against the shore.
The seagulls on the shore kept crying out.
Finally, the tsunami erupted, and everything returned to complete tranquility.
Chen Xiaoran was so tired she fell asleep.
As for Shen Zhou, he had his standard cigarette, went to the living room, and sprawled out on the sofa in a star shape.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Host, you have successfully captured a youthful and beautiful delicacy!]
[Warm reminder: The preparation of a delicacy requires constant roasting, and even more so, proper insulation!]
[Task Reward: Potent Potion.]
[Item Description: Every man longs to put red underwear on his head and soar freely in the sky; the Potent Potion will help the Host take the first step!]
"What the hell? Brother System, why have you become so abstract this time?"
"This item description is less straightforward than just giving nothing at all."
Shen Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Out of trust in the system, he quickly drank the potion in one gulp.
And waited quietly for the potion to take effect.
However, nearly ten minutes passed, and Shen Zhou still didn't notice any difference in himself.
"Is this potion fake?"
"No side effects, but also no effective effects?"
Shen Zhou got up, feeling somewhat disappointed, and casually gripped the armrest of the sofa.
With a snap, the armrest he had pressed down on collapsed on the spot.
On the surface of the sofa, which cost over three hundred thousand, a clear palm print appeared just like that.
"What? Where did I get such great strength? Could this be the effect of the Potent Potion?"
Shen Zhou was overjoyed and rushed into the bathroom with swift strides.
He gently tugged at the door, and with a snap, the bathroom door was pulled right off.
"What the f*ck..."
He didn't have time to worry about the door; instead, he carefully examined his body in front of the mirror.
Taking off his shirt, he discovered that his upper body had become even more toned.
The lines of every muscle were just that perfect.
Simply put, what was in the mirror wasn't a human body, but a perfectly sculpted statue.
"Holy crap, simply perfect!"
Shen Zhou couldn't help but exclaim.
Just then, the sound of pitter-patter rang out.
Wearing slippers, Chen Xiaoran had just arrived in the living room and couldn't help but scream.
"Brother Shen, did a burglar break into the house?"
"Not just the sofa, why did the door fall off too?"
The pitter-patter sound approached the bathroom.
"Gulp!"
Then, the sound of swallowing saliva followed.
Chen Xiaoran stood at the bathroom door like a wooden statue.
Her eyes were fixed straight on Shen Zhou.
She almost drooled right on the spot.
"Brother Shen, so your physique is actually this good?"
As Chen Xiaoran spoke, she was screaming internally.
"I scored, I scored, I really scored this time!"
"I didn't expect Brother Shen to be so well-built!"
Just now in the media room, the lighting was very dim.
Plus, it was her first time, so how could she have managed to observe Shen Zhou's physique?
Not to mention that Shen Zhou had now been reshaped by the Potent Potion.
In terms of body fat percentage and other metrics, Shen Zhou was now close to the perfect human form.
"Xiaoran, let's try again!"
"Ah..."
Soon, Shen Zhou brought Chen Xiaoran rushing back into the media room.
This time, a full hour passed.
When Shen Zhou sat on the sofa again, for two consecutive hours, no sound came from the media room.
"As expected of a girl who studies art, her stamina is truly abundant."
"It's a good thing I had the blessing of the Potent Potion, otherwise this time would have been quite strenuous."
Shen Zhou shook his head continuously, his right hand gently swirling a red wine glass.
"Ding-dong!"
The phone notification chimed.
It was a message from Lin Lan.
"Oh, Sister Lan, do you have new tricks again?"
Shen Zhou continuously swiped the screen to the right, seeing one hot photo after another appear.
The person in the photos didn't show their face, but that extremely seductive body, paired with that familiar black uniform...
Shen Zhou was certain that this was absolutely Lin Lan herself.
"Uniform temptation?"
"Too bad it won't work tonight."
Shen Zhou sent a lecherous emoji, then ignored it.
After all, he had to properly accompany Chen Xiaoran tonight.
Not to mention, this was official business Lin Lan had entrusted to him.
Just then, Shen Zhou received another text message.
It was a greeting message sent by the Ziyu Mansion property management.
The message stated that if Shen Zhou needed it, they could immediately arrange a 24-hour housekeeper for him.
"A housekeeper?"
"Better forget it for now."
After a slight hesitation, Shen Zhou declined the property management's kind offer.
This housekeeper would definitely have to live in this villa permanently.
And this housekeeper would also very likely become someone close to Shen Zhou.
He still hoped to slowly find the best candidate for the housekeeper himself.
The next day, Chen Xiaoran went to report to the company.
Shen Zhou was just preparing to go to the 4S dealership to find Xiao Shen, when he suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
Shen Zhou was a bit puzzled.
"Shen Zhou, have you forgotten me?"
A slightly warm voice came from the phone.
"Sorry, I've always had a bad memory, may I ask who you are?"
Shen Zhou's voice was calm.
"I am Lin Manzhi."
The voice on the phone had a hint of trembling.
"So it's you."
Shen Zhou suddenly realized.
This name had always existed in the depths of his memory.
Because this was the girl he liked the most back when he was in high school.
Back then, he had written several love letters to Lin Manzhi.
The two of them also had a hazy, short-lived romance.
It's just a pity that Lin Manzhi ultimately chose another boy.
Because that boy was not only good at studying, but his family background was also extremely outstanding.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Zhou at the time didn't hesitate to get into a fight with that boy.
It's just a pity that Shen Zhou was the one who got beaten up.
But regardless, that memory made Shen Zhou feel very warm.
"Lin Manzhi, is there anything the matter?"
A bit of emotion appeared on Shen Zhou's face.
He really didn't expect Lin Manzhi to take the initiative to contact him.
"Shen Zhou, I'm getting married, tomorrow at twelve noon, at the Haoqing Grand Hotel."
"You will come to attend, right?"
Lin Manzhi said.
"Why would you invite me?"
Shen Zhou was a bit surprised.
