Five times the return
Li Wei didn't push her away.
He stared at the ceiling, his mind racing with calculations.
The system was activated.
The consumption cashback card had to be used within 24 hours.
The blind box had revealed a three-million-yuan car.
And 1000 points.
Li Wei opened the Points Mall and took a look.
It was densely packed with various items.
[Beginner Fighting Skill: 500 points]
[Intermediate Business Acumen: 2000 points]
[Advanced Medical Mastery: 5000 points]
[Luxury Villa (Random Location): 10000 points]
Li Wei looked at these items and felt a sense of clarity.
Points could be exchanged for skills or assets.
He now had 1000 points, enough to get a Beginner Fighting Skill for self-defense.
But Li Wei thought about it and decided to save them for now.
The most important thing now was to use the consumption cashback card.
He needed to find a place to spend a large sum of money.
Li Wei picked up his phone and searched for nearby luxury stores.
The LV Flagship Store in Guangzhou-Shenzhen would open at 10 AM tomorrow.
Li Wei checked his bank card balance.
147,823 yuan.
If he spent it all, with good luck, he could get a 5-times rebate, which would be 730,000 yuan.
But that was too risky.
If it only returned 1-time, he would have wasted over 100,000 yuan for nothing.
Li Wei thought for a moment and decided to spend 100,000 yuan.
Even if it was only a 1-time rebate, he would break even.
If it was a 5-times rebate, that would be 500,000 yuan.
Safe.
Li Wei turned off his phone and closed his eyes.
Yang Yun's breathing was even beside him; she was fast asleep.
Li Wei reached out and put his arm around her waist.
The feel was really good.
Much better than Wang Ting.
Li Wei suddenly felt a little glad he had lost his job.
If he hadn't lost his job, he wouldn't have been bored enough to browse the Social App.
If he hadn't browsed the Social App, he wouldn't have met Yang Yun.
If he hadn't met Yang Yun, the system wouldn't have activated.
A blessing in disguise.
Li Wei's lips curved upward as he fell into a deep sleep.
...
At 9:30 AM the next day, Li Wei was woken by his alarm clock.
Yang Yun was no longer beside him.
Her body heat still lingered on the sheets.
Li Wei sat up and saw a note pressed under a lamp on the nightstand.
"I'm leaving first. Last night was fun. Let's meet up again sometime. —Yun Yun"
Li Wei smiled and put the note in his pocket.
He got up, washed, and changed into clean clothes.
Then he went downstairs.
In the parking space downstairs, a black mercedes-benz s65 was indeed parked.
The car body gleamed with a subtle luster in the sunlight.
Li Wei walked over and took out the car key from his System Backpack.
He pressed the unlock button.
The car lights flashed twice.
Li Wei pulled open the car door and got in.
Leather seats, wood trim, and the Mercedes logo on the center console sparkled.
Li Wei gripped the steering wheel, his heart beating a little fast.
This was the first time in his life he had sat in a three-million-yuan car.
And it was his own car.
Li Wei started the engine.
A deep roar sounded.
He stepped on the accelerator, and the car smoothly pulled out of the parking space.
Destination: LV Flagship Store.
---
At exactly ten o'clock, Li Wei parked the car in the mall's underground garage.
He went upstairs and headed straight for the LV Flagship Store.
Two uniformed sales associates stood at the entrance. Seeing Li Wei approach, they politely nodded.
Li Wei pushed the door open and entered.
The store was luxuriously decorated, with soft lighting and a faint scent of perfume in the air.
Several sales associates were attending to customers.
A young female sales associate walked over, her smile professional.
"Hello sir, what would you like to see?"
Li Wei glanced at the displays in the store.
Bags, belts, wallets, clothes.
The price tags started at five digits.
Li Wei pointed to a handbag in the display window.
"How much is that one?"
The female sales associate glanced at it.
"This is this year's new model, priced at 128,000."
Li Wei nodded.
"Take it down, let me see."
The female sales associate paused, but complied.
She carefully took the bag out of the display window and placed it on the counter.
"Sir, you can feel it."
Li Wei picked up the bag and weighed it in his hand.
The feel was indeed good.
But he didn't care if the bag looked good or not.
He only cared if the price was high enough.
128,000.
Just right.
Li Wei put down the bag.
"Anything else?"
The female sales associate's eyes lit up.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
She turned and went to the back to get a few more bags.
Each bag was priced above 100,000 yuan.
Li Wei glanced at them and finally pointed to a black handbag.
"How much is this one?"
"This is a limited edition, priced at 186,000."
Li Wei nodded.
"I'll take it."
The female sales associate was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, are you... not going to look at anything else?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"No need, just this one. Card payment."
A hint of excitement flashed in the female sales associate's eyes.
She immediately went to the counter to get the POS machine.
Li Wei followed her, pulling out his bank card.
186,000.
This amount was almost one-eighth of his savings.
But Li Wei didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
Because he knew this money would soon double back.
The female sales associate took the bank card and swiped it.
"Sir, please enter your password."
Li Wei entered the six-digit number.
The POS machine made a 'beep' sound.
Transaction successful.
The female sales associate printed the receipt and handed it to Li Wei with both hands.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll package it for you right away."
Li Wei took the receipt and stood at the counter, waiting.
Just then.
A system notification sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Detected host's consumption of 186,000 yuan!]
[consumption cashback card has been automatically used!]
[Drawing rebate multiplier...]
Li Wei's heart rate instantly accelerated.
It's here.
He stared at the system panel in his mind.
A spinning wheel appeared on the panel, its pointer rapidly rotating.
1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x...
The pointer spun slower and slower.
Li Wei clenched his fists.
Don't be 1x.
Please, don't be 1x.
The pointer slowly came to a stop.
Finally pointing to—5x!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a 5-times rebate!]
[Rebate amount: 930,000 yuan!]
[Rebate has been credited to host's bank card!]
Li Wei froze.
930,000?
5-times rebate?
He spent 186,000, and the system directly rebated him 930,000?
Wasn't this just giving him over 740,000 for free?
Li Wei took a deep breath, trying to appear calm.
But his heart couldn't be controlled.
He pulled out his phone and opened his banking app.
Balance: 1,077,823 yuan.
It had arrived.
It had really arrived.
Li Wei stared at the numbers on the screen, his hands trembling slightly.
Yesterday, his savings were only over 140,000.
Today, it had surpassed a million.
Was this the power of the God-tier Tycoon System?
Li Wei closed his phone and looked up.
The female sales associate had finished packaging and handed it over with both hands.
"Sir, your item."
Li Wei took the shopping bag.
"Thank you."
He turned and walked out.
Just as he reached the door, he stopped again.
Li Wei looked back at the female sales associate.
"What else expensive do you have in your store?"
The female sales associate was surprised for a moment.
"Sir, would you like to see something else?"
Li Wei nodded.
"Yes, do you have any recommendations?"
The female sales associate's eyes lit up.
She immediately walked over.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll take you to the VIP area."
Li Wei followed her to the innermost part of the store.
The items displayed here were clearly more high-end.
Price tags started at six digits.
The female sales associate pointed to a suitcase in the display window.
"This is this year's limited edition; there are only 50 worldwide, priced at 520,000."
Li Wei glanced at it.
The surface of the suitcase was inlaid with tiny crystals, sparkling under the lights.
"Anything else?"
The female sales associate then pointed to a suit next to it.
"This suit is custom-made, hand-stitched in Italy, priced at 380,000."
Li Wei thought about it.
The consumption cashback card had already been used.
Buying these items now wouldn't get him a rebate.
But Li Wei suddenly realized a problem.
The system said it would "regularly issue consumption cashback cards."
This meant there would be more in the future.
So what he needed to do now was to accumulate more wealth as quickly as possible.
Then wait for the next cashback card.
Li Wei looked at the female sales associate.
"That's all for today, I'll come again next time."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the female sales associate's face, but she maintained her professional smile.
"Alright sir, welcome back anytime."
