163: Three-level system, within easy reach

"You go wait in the room first; I'll go in later."

In the evening, after the two of them finished showering and it was time to get down to business, Chen Xinyi mysteriously pushed Ye Su to go into the room first.

"What time is it? What are you still doing!"

"Don't worry about it, just go in and wait for me."

Chen Xinyi insisted on pushing Ye Su into the room and then closed the door behind her.

"So weird." Ye Su didn't know what Chen Xinyi was up to again.

"Right, I haven't upgraded tomorrow's intelligence yet."

After the jade pendant was sold, his savings became 435,000, enough to continue upgrading the intelligence.

Remembering the important matter, Ye Su, taking advantage of the gap while Chen Xinyi was outside doing who-knows-what, summoned the system:

"Spend 200,000 to upgrade the Saturday Level 2 intelligence to Level 3 intelligence."

[Upgrade successful!]

[Time until the next intelligence refresh is 00:53:49, please wait patiently, Host!]

"Open the intelligence details page."

[Level 2 Intelligence: tuesday, Wednesday, thursday]

[Level 3 Intelligence: Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday]

"Still missing three days."

Ye Su's original plan was to try to upgrade all intelligence to Level 3 before the [Intelligence Upgrade] gifted by the system arrived on the 21st, and then use the [Intelligence Upgrade] to upgrade one Level 4 intelligence, saving 200,000.

As it turned out, plans couldn't keep up with changes. He couldn't bear to sell the aged tangerine peel he got from Ye Kaijun, and he took the Fei Wenyuan Silver Shop · Gold Diamond Emerald Jewelry Design Drawing to Li Mengyao and exchanged it for a 10% dividend.

Because he missed out on two pieces of Level 3 intelligence, totaling 600,000 in income, Ye Su was now exactly short on the money needed to upgrade the remaining three pieces of Level 2 intelligence.

"The next three days are all Level 3 intelligence. I hope Brother System can be reliable and give me a million or so; that way, I can upgrade the system to Level 3."

When upgrading to the Level 2 system, he unlocked the [Sleep Aid Service] skill and the [hidden easter egg] reward. Ye Su was faintly looking forward to what new functions the Level 3 system would unlock for him.

Tap—tap—

"Hmm?"

While Ye Su was thinking about the system upgrade, the sound of hard objects tapping on the floor suddenly rang out outside the door.

Relying on his years of experience watching short videos, Ye Su instantly determined that this was the sound of high heels.

"Could it be!"

The next moment, Chen Xinyi pushed the door open and entered, immediately confirming Ye Su's guess.

Without looking at her face, Ye Su looked at the floor first, and what came into view was a pair of black high heels.

Following his line of sight upwards, there was a section of black silk exposed at the ankle, followed by a tight-fitting, high-slit camisole "stepmother dress" that perfectly outlined Chen Xinyi's physique.

Xu Song was right; purple really is very charming!

Finally, Ye Su's gaze fell on Chen Xinyi's face.

Sure enough, Chen Xinyi was wearing the same silver-framed glasses as Jane Zhang, and she even had the same "married woman" curly ponytail hairstyle.

In an instant, a spring thunderclap exploded in Ye Su's mind like it was on dry land. Everything about the system upgrade was thrown to the back of his mind, and he even subconsciously touched his nose to prevent his loss of composure from being exposed.

That's not right?

It's not a holiday or anything; why would she put on such a big production tonight?

Ye Su suddenly remembered that when he didn't want to get up in the morning, he had casually complained that it was all Chen Xinyi's fault for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a girlfriend last night, which made him toss and turn all night, unable to sleep, and left him without energy when getting up in the morning.

Could it be because of this reason that Chen Xinyi felt guilty, and that's why she prepared such a surprise for him tonight?

Ye Su's conscience pricked slightly. He felt that he should be more careful in the future and not always tease Chen Xinyi; he shouldn't actually fool her into being silly.

As for Chen Xinyi, watching the dazed expression on Ye Su's face, in addition to feeling shy, she was also secretly pleased: It seems I am still quite full of Charm.

Actually, this outfit was something Chen Xinyi had secretly prepared a few days ago, wanting to give Ye Su a surprise on 5.20.

It was only to compensate Ye Su for his insomnia last night that she brought it out early.

Furthermore, Chen Xinyi also thought that 5.20 was a tuesday, and for some reason, Ye Su's physique had been getting better and better lately.

If she really wore this outfit to spend 5.20 with Ye Su, Chen Xinyi was really worried she wouldn't be able to get up for work the next day.

Combining the two, Chen Xinyi decided to give the reward to Ye Su early.

"How is it? You're mesmerized by me, right?"

After the shyness, Chen Xinyi looked smug and even gently pushed up her glasses.

With the "divine gear" buff, her attack power was naturally incomparable to the past.

The conscience Ye Su had just awakened was instantly pushed to the top of Baiyun Mountain by that push.

"Awoo—"

With a wolf howl, Ye Su instantly sprang up and pounced on Chen Xinyi.

"Ah—"

With a shriek, Chen Xinyi was scooped up by the waist by Ye Su and placed onto the battlefield.

...

After the great battle, the scene was a mess. Chen Xinyi lay powerlessly on the bed, beginning to reflect on whether she was playing with fire.

Ye Su, on the other hand, was refreshed and invigorated, showing no signs of having just fought a tough battle. This made the exhausted Chen Xinyi increasingly suspect whether college students nowadays had undergone some kind of mutation.

However, what Chen Xinyi could be sure of was that if she had worn this outfit on 5.20, she definitely wouldn't be thinking about going to work the next day.

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence (Level 3): The lucky draw event currently being held at Guangzhou Hui Shopping Center. This afternoon at 4:37 PM, a grand prize will be added to the prize pool. The prize is a bearer dongdong e-card with a total value of 200,000.]

[hidden easter egg (Attribute Reward): Successfully draw the grand prize, and the Host can receive a +4 [Physique] reward.]

"A bearer dongdong e-card with a total value of 200,000; this is a good thing!"

Of course, Ye Su couldn't spend 200,000 on dongdong e-cards himself, but this item was considered hard currency. On second-hand platforms, he could easily cash it out at a 5% discount.

"200,000, even at a 5% discount, that's 190,000. Doesn't that mean the 200,000 I just spent is basically earned back in one go?"

"That doesn't seem right either. Even if I hadn't upgraded to Level 3 intelligence, the Level 2 intelligence that refreshed early this morning would have at least been worth a few tens of thousands. So, theoretically, I should have only earned back a little over 100,000 today."

Although a flash of inspiration helped Ye Su figure out the math, it didn't hinder his good mood.

"Hey, what are you smiling about by yourself? Are you up to no good again?"

Chen Xinyi lay on the bed and looked in Ye Su's direction, just in time to see the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What kind of bad ideas could I be having? Don't slander my character."

"Character? You?" Chen Xinyi used her expression to write the word [Suspicion] on her face.

"I was just thinking about taking you to Guangzhou Hui Shopping Center tomorrow afternoon to see if there's anything you want to buy. Doesn't that count as having good character?"

"Taking me to buy things..." Chen Xinyi was just about to nod and admit that Ye Su did have a bit of a conscience, but then she immediately realized something was wrong.

He wouldn't be thinking of taking me to buy a few more sets of the clothes I was just wearing, would he!

For a moment, Chen Xinyi was in a dilemma, not knowing whether she should praise Ye Su for having a conscience or suspect him of having some ulterior motive, judging a gentleman by the yardstick of a villain.
