26: Chapter 26 Rewards: Body Enhancement and Longevity Pills

Wang Yang leaned against the headboard, smiling as he watched her.

Chen Xuemiao blushed and walked out quickly.

Reaching the door, she turned back to look one last time.

"Then I'm leaving?"

"Mm."

Wang Yang nodded. "Take it slow on the road."

Chen Xuemiao opened the door and walked out.

The moment the door closed, she stood in the hallway and let out a long breath.

Three hundred thousand.

One hundred and fifty thousand a month.

She looked down at her phone, then at the transaction notification message.

She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She walked toward the elevator.

One step, two steps.

Her legs were trembling a little.

They felt very weak and sore.

Between last night and this morning, her entire body felt like it was falling apart.

Yet, her heart felt sweet.

The elevator doors opened; Chen Xuemiao stepped in and pressed the button for the first floor.

The elevator descended smoothly.

She leaned against the elevator wall, her legs trembling.

In the mirror, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were watery.

It was obvious she had been thoroughly cherished.

She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

It was worth it.

On the 28th floor, in the bedroom.

Wang Yang leaned against the headboard, looking at the transaction record on his phone, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Chen Xuemiao.

A clean girl with a comprehensive score of over ninety, now she was his.

Thinking of how she looked when she left just now, her legs trembling, unable to walk steadily.

Wang Yang smiled.

Satisfied.

Very satisfied.

He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

In his mind, the system's voice rang out again.

[Ding — System detected that the host has established a stable relationship with the target, Chen Xuemiao. Please continue your efforts and strive to complete the pregnancy task as soon as possible.]

Wang Yang's lips curled into a smile.

No rush.

Take it slow.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time.

If she really couldn't get pregnant, ten million was enough to handle minor situations back home.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining onto the bed, feeling warm.

Wang Yang lay there for a while longer.

Chen Xuemiao had left, and the room grew quiet, with only the occasional honking of car horns from outside the window.

He stared at the ceiling, turning things over in his mind.

Chen Xuemiao was taken; who was next?

Su Xincheng.

When this name popped up, Wang Yang's eyes lit up.

He had added her on WeChat back then, but hadn't had time to get to know her better.

He had to speed things up.

One more woman meant twenty million more, and another system reward.

Things like this couldn't be delayed.

Wang Yang reached for his phone, opened WeChat, and found Su Xincheng's profile picture.

He typed.

[Are you there? Are you free today? Want to meet up?]

After sending it, he leaned against the headboard and waited.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

His phone vibrated.

Su Xincheng replied.

[I have to work today.]

Wang Yang's lips curled.

Work?

He continued typing.

[How much do you make a day? Take the day off; I'll pay you triple.]

After sending it, the other side went silent.

Wang Yang waited for a dozen seconds, but there was no reply.

He smiled, went directly to the transfer feature, entered 500 yuan, and sent it over.

[Is that enough?]

This time, the reply was lightning fast.

[Enough, enough, enough! Mr. Wang, you are too kind!]

It was followed by several "thank you" emojis.

Wang Yang looked at the screen, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

You little thing, you think I can't handle you?

He typed.

[Where are you now? I'll come pick you up, let's grab a meal.]

Su Xincheng quickly sent a location, which was a bus stop near the Shopping Mall.

[I'll wait for you here!]

Wang Yang glanced at the address and got out of bed.

He walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Still that black turtleneck sweater and dark gray casual pants.

He put on that black long down jacket over it.

He took a look in the mirror.

Spirited, handsome.

He picked up his phone and car keys, and headed out.

Soon, the black X5M drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic.

The sunlight of the twelfth lunar month shone on the car body, and the matte black paint gave off a cold luster.

Wang Yang held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the gear shifter, a faint smile on his lips.

Triple wages plus a five-hundred red envelope.

A young girl who hadn't been graduated for long, where would she have seen this before?

He stepped on the gas, the car accelerated, and the engine's roar was low and deep.

Scene change.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up beside a bus stop.

Wang Yang turned off the engine and looked out the window.

There weren't many people at the bus stop, just a few standing here and there. He scanned the area but didn't see Su Xincheng.

He took out his phone and sent a message.

[I'm here, where are you?]

Su Xincheng replied quickly.

[Right away, right away! I'm nearby, I'll run over right now!]

Wang Yang smiled, put his phone down, and leaned back in the seat to wait.

Sunlight shone in through the car window, feeling warm.

As he waited, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Last night, he had taken Chen Xuemiao.

The Ten-Chain-Kill task should have another completion, right?

From Zhao Yaqin to Chen Xuemiao, that was exactly two.

But why was the system silent?

Wang Yang frowned and thought silently in his mind.

"System, I've completed two of the Ten-Chain-Kill tasks, right? Why didn't you give me the rewards?"

Silence.

A few seconds later, the system's mechanical voice rang in his mind, carrying a subtle hint of guilt.

[Ding! According to system detection, the host has completed the first-chain-kill and second-chain-kill tasks. Because the system was busy monitoring the host's nighttime activities, it neglected to distribute the rewards, and hereby apologizes.]

Wang Yang was stunned.

Busy monitoring my nighttime activities?

His lips twitched.

This system was quite good at making excuses.

"So, where are the rewards?"

[Ding! Distributing second-chain-kill rewards...]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the second-chain-kill. Reward obtained: Physical Enhancement x1!]

[Note: Physical Enhancement can be performed up to three times. After each enhancement, the host's physical fitness, strength, endurance, recovery speed, and other indicators will be comprehensively improved. After one enhancement, you will reach the level of a professional athlete.]

Wang Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

Physical Enhancement?

Professional athlete level?

He recalled the frenzy last night; after five or six rounds, he was exhausted.

He only recovered after getting some sleep.

If his body was enhanced, then wouldn't it be...

Thinking of this, Wang Yang's lips curled into a smile.

Just as he was happy, he suddenly remembered something.

"System, you gave the rewards so late. If I hadn't asked, would you have not given them at all?"

The system was silent.

Wang Yang continued.

"And this Physical Enhancement, isn't it what I deserved? I put in so much energy and worked hard to complete the task, and you're being this careless? Shouldn't you compensate me?"

The system was silent again.

A few seconds later.

[Ding! Detected that the host's request is reasonable. The system is initiating a compensation mechanism...]

[Distributing compensation reward...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the compensation reward: longevity pill x3!]

[longevity pill: Each pill can increase the user's lifespan by ten years and restore their skin to a youthful state. The effect is permanent and cannot be stacked. It can be used by yourself or given to others.]

Wang Yang's breathing stopped.

longevity pill?

Increase lifespan by ten years?

Three pills meant thirty years!

Several people instantly popped into his mind.

Parents, grandpa, grandma...

His parents had toiled their whole lives, and their health was getting worse every year.

His grandparents were old, too.

If he gave it to them...

Wang Yang's heart was pounding.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said in his mind.

"System, that's more like it."

[Ding! As long as the host is satisfied. The system will definitely be more rigorous in the future and will not miss any reward distributions.]

Wang Yang smiled.

Physical Enhancement, plus three longevity pills.

This wasn't a loss at all.
