180: System upgrade again

"You two, if there are any products you're interested in looking at, I can have a colleague assist you."

Qin Manyun and her companion were still university students, right at the age when their sense of shame was at its peak. How could they possibly endure the mocking gaze of the sales associate?

"No, we aren't buying anything. We just came in to say hello to him."

Upon entering, Jia Zhiqiang had already noticed that even a nail twisted into a circle in this store would sell for tens of thousands.

Never mind that his pockets were empty now after paying for the car repairs; even before the incident, it would have been impossible for him to come here to buy these things.

"If you aren't buying anything, please do not disturb other customers."

"Oh, okay!"

Jia Zhiqiang couldn't even be bothered to be angry anymore and urged Qin Manyun to leave with him.

It was all this woman's fault. If she hadn't insisted on coming in just now, he wouldn't have been mocked by a sales associate!

Qin Manyun couldn't stand the sales associate's gaze either, but since she had no money, she couldn't speak with any confidence, so she had no choice but to let Jia Zhiqiang pull her away.

Before leaving, Qin Manyun cast a complex look at Ye Su.

But Ye Su was busy picking out a watch and didn't turn back from beginning to end, leaving her with only his back.

He knew that this little episode today would definitely add insult to injury for their already crumbling relationship, but Ye Su couldn't have cared less.

Seeing the two leave, the sales associate immediately put on her signature smile again and continued to serve Ye Su:

"I apologize, sir. Shall I continue introducing these two watches to you?"

"No need, I'll take the one with the stainless steel strap."

After playing with it on his wrist for a moment, Ye Su felt that the stainless steel strap looked better.

Although only the strap was different, the price difference was three thousand yuan.

However, since he was already spending over forty thousand on a watch, Ye Su didn't mind being a sucker for another three thousand.

"Very well, sir. The total is 48,300 yuan. I'll wrap it up for you right now!"

"Hmm."

Now this is a proper customer who came to buy things!

From the time he entered the store until now, the two hadn't even spoken five sentences, and he had already bought a blue balloon watch worth nearly fifty thousand yuan!

If every customer who came to the store could be this straightforward and generous.

She could buy a house and settle down in Yangcheng just from the commissions alone!

Hearing that Ye Su decided to buy the watch so quickly, the other sales associates also cast envious glances in this direction.

They weren't just envious of their colleague for securing a commission without any effort, but also envious of the woman who was about to receive this watch.

Who on earth is dating such a handsome, wealthy, and generous man!

Why can't I meet a man like this!

"Sir, here is your item. Please take care of it."

After payment was completed, the sales associate immediately handed the gift bag containing the watch to Ye Su.

"Is there anything else you need? Or perhaps I could recommend a few bracelets that go well with the watch."

After Ye Su took the gift bag, the sales associate didn't forget to press her advantage to see if she could secure another sale.

"Not for now, maybe next time."

"Understood."

She didn't feel disappointed; upon hearing there would be a next time, the sales associate immediately took out her phone:

"Why don't we add each other as friends? That way, if you have any other needs, you can contact me on your phone, and I will definitely satisfy your requests."

Besides a suggestive look, the sales associate also specifically emphasized the word "needs," fearing that Ye Su might not understand her implication.

The other sales associates were used to this and were only filled with regret that they didn't have the opportunity to add him as a friend.

"No need. If I have any needs next time, I'll come by."

Ye Su pretended not to understand the implication and left the store carrying the bag, leaving the sales associate behind, watching his departing figure with eyes full of regret at having missed out on such a tall, rich, and handsome man.

...

In one afternoon, he mailed out the reward claim forms, signed the jewelry profit-sharing contract, and bought the gift prepared for Chen Xinyi.

With nothing else to do, Ye Su drove home first and stealthily hid the watch in a storage box in the guest bedroom.

Just as he wanted to sit down and rest for a while, the courier arrived, delivering some of the computer parts Ye Su had purchased, along with the large television Chen Xinyi had ordered.

After the courier helped install the television, Ye Su had a sudden whim and ordered a PS5, planning to use this television to play games when the time came.

Besides, Ye Su knew that even though Chen Xinyi said she wanted to exercise, she would definitely be inconsistent when the time came.

Using the television for him to play games was the only way to make the most of it, so the money wasn't wasted.

"Time to do some real work."

After placing the order, he took a look at the balance on the calculator and summoned the system again.

"Spend 600,000 yuan to upgrade all level 2 intelligence for [tuesday, wednesday, thursday] to level 3 intelligence!"

In order to possess a level 3 system as soon as possible, Ye Su spent the largest sum of money he had ever spent in his life.

[Deducting funds, please wait, Host...]

Beep—

[XX Bank: Your card ending in 9539 had an expenditure of 600,000 yuan on May 19th at 15:19. Current balance is 95,721 yuan.]

[Intelligence upgrade complete!]

"Done!"

Ignoring the fact that his bank card balance had dropped to less than 100,000 yuan in the blink of an eye, Ye Su watched the virtual screen in front of him with anticipation.

Under Ye Su's tense and excited gaze, the system indeed jumped to another page.

[Detected that the Host has completed all level 3 intelligence upgrades, successfully activating the level 3 system upgrade!]

[Upgrading, please wait...]

And so, Ye Su lay on the sofa, staring at the system upgrade progress bar without blinking.

[Upgrade successful!]

[Congratulations to the Host for activating the system function: Item Appraisal]

[Item Appraisal skill introduction: Can help the Host identify the information and price of items]

[Note: This can only be triggered if the item is owned by the Host, or if the owner of the item actively initiates contact with the Host.]

[Fee standard: 99 yuan per item, per time]

"Another new skill!"

After carefully reading the skill introduction, Ye Su understood what the [Item Appraisal] skill was about.

"In other words, it's either things I've already bought, like the inkstone, cabinet, and such that I bought together last time when I bought the [Mid-Qing Dynasty · Huanghuali Official Box].

Or someone wants to sell me something, and that's when I can trigger this [Item Appraisal] skill?"

Ye Su had been thinking that since it only cost 99 yuan a time, he could just spend 100,000 yuan, go to an antique market or jade market, and use it a thousand times to see if he could pick up any bargains.

Now that he saw the limitations of this skill, Ye Su had no choice but to honestly abandon that idea.

"That's fine too. At least when others are selling things to me, I can use this skill to check, preventing me from being cheated and having my lifelong reputation ruined."

"Although it can't be used to actively pick up bargains, it can still be considered a practical skill."

Ye Su forced himself to feel that he "didn't lose out."

[Congratulations to the Host for activating the system function: Mysterious Surprise Item]

[Mysterious Surprise Item introduction: Future intelligence refreshes may possibly refresh items with hidden functions, which can bring the Host a mysterious surprise]
