19: check in

A week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Qian had to go and register. However, his parents didn't accompany him to the school.

The reason was simple. Other parents came to drop off their children and help them with many things, but if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to help and would instead require Shen Qian to travel back and forth to see them off. So, after discussing it, the two of them took a bus back the day before Shen Qian's registration.

Shen Qian originally wanted them to stay, but then he thought about his reputation. If the old couple heard anything about it, they would worry. Since the goal of letting them enjoy themselves had been achieved, he simply sent them to the station.

During these past few days, he had also sent a few messages to Xia Mengling. His suggestion to take her to registration was politely declined, and the girl basically didn't reply to any of his other messages.

Shen Qian understood that this was the second step of dog training: the cold shoulder.

His goal was to be a scumbag to Xia Mengling, so he had to break through the crowd of her simps. As for how to do it, it was simple: simp occasionally, then continuously radiate his own charm.

Focus on attraction, with simping as a supplement. As long as he was high-quality enough and maintained a posture of being easily snatched away by others at any time, he wasn't worried she wouldn't come looking for him.

If she really found someone she liked more and decided to give up on him, then Shen Qian would wish her happiness. Anyway, he had plenty of fish in his sea, and there would only be more after he went to university.

Campus Belles and goddesses were just ordinary people propped up by simps; in his eyes, they were just slightly more valuable cash cows.

Suddenly, Shen Qian thought of Liu Xinyao. He hadn't messaged her much in the past two days either.

"Do you want me to go with you to register tomorrow?"

In any case, he had farmed some points and a few achievement points from this girl. Although he wouldn't give her money, he could still do some favors.

On the other side, Liu Xinyao looked at the message on her phone, and a wave of mixed emotions instantly washed over her.

She had thought a lot over the past few days, and Wu Gao had also said a lot to her. The thought that occurred to her most often was that regardless of whether it was intentional or not, this boy's reputation was already ruined. If she stayed with him, her reputation would be ruined as well.

Shen Qian was indeed very good, but what if there was someone better? If she was tied to him now, how would the other boys in the school look at her?

She couldn't lose her right to choose a partner as soon as she arrived at university, could she?

"No, I'll just go by myself."

Shen Qian looked at her response and understood what she meant after a brief thought. Since she had already made her choice, there was no need for him to press his warm face against a cold butt.

The next day, he wasn't in a hurry to go to school. Anyway, he had the whole day. These past few days, he had been buying clothes for his parents and eating and drinking, so he hadn't had time to package himself a bit.

His reputation was already ruined, but that didn't matter. As long as society's values didn't change, once he showed his strength, people would naturally speak up for him.

After checking out, he headed straight for a rolex store.

Seeing that he was a young man without any luxury goods on him, the staff immediately pushed forward a clerk who clearly didn't have much seniority to attend to him.

"Hello..."

"I want a Gold Rainbow Rolex. Is it in stock now? Do I need to make an appointment?"

Shen Qian looked through the watches on the market and found that only this one was closest to 1 million. Moreover, this was a 1-million-yuan watch, which could buy a house in his hometown. If it weren't for the reimbursement card and cashback card, he might not have bought it even with the system.

Shen Qian's words stunned the clerk for a moment, but then she immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll introduce it to you."

When the clerk took the watch out of the counter, Shen Qian's eyes were practically dazed. It truly was a watch worth a house. He used to think people wearing gold watches were tacky, but until he saw this watch, he realized that a watch could actually be made so beautifully.

Just this one watch was actually a bit dazzling under the light.

He used to think those so-called dazzling diamond watches in TV dramas were a joke. Now it seemed it was because the lives of the wealthy were too far removed from him back then, which was why he thought they were being ostentatious.

"I'll take this one."

He decided that even if it exceeded 1 million by a bit, he still wanted to own this watch. It was also at this moment that he understood why those women cared so much about the watch on a man's wrist.

Because women just like things that sparkle, and expensive things often sparkle.

"You'll... take it?"

"Yes, I'll pay."

Sitting in the car, he examined the watch back and forth, and it took a long time for his mood to calm down slightly.

"System, use the cashback card and reimbursement card. Stack them."

[reimbursement card used. This reimbursement amount is 1 million yuan.]

[cashback card used. Critical hit triggered, 7x cashback. This cashback is 7 million yuan.]

"What!!!"

Shen Qian originally thought it would only be a 1-5x cashback this time, but he didn't expect it to be 7x.

[Level 2 Cashback Cards have a critical hit attribute.]

8 million instantly became 16 million. His net worth had directly doubled. Shen Qian felt that it was his tireless efforts as a scumbag that had infected the system, which was why the system was helping him so unreservedly.

"System, I won't say anything more. Just you wait, I'll definitely earn the title of Ultimate Scumbag King for you."

[Your choice to purchase luxury goods to attract girls fits the scumbag standard. Rewards are being issued...]

"Oh, holy crap!!"

Shen Qian felt that it was lucky the system didn't have a physical form; otherwise, he would have had to place it on an altar and kowtow to it a couple of times.

As for clothes, Shen Qian felt there was no need to buy them specifically. The reason was simple: having one or two big brands on you is called being wealthy and restrained, but being covered in big brands is being a nouveau riche.

He was indeed a nouveau riche, but he understood that his core goal was to be a scumbag.

The attraction of a wealthy and restrained person to girls is several levels higher than that of a nouveau riche. Again, you have to hide it appropriately and let girls understand your strength bit by bit; exposing everything makes you seem lacking in confidence.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Shen Qian drove to the school.

Since today was registration day, before he even reached the school gate, Shen Qian was put off by the traffic that hadn't moved for ages. He simply found a parking spot near the school and walked to handle the registration with his backpack.

"Student, are you a freshman?"

Just as he reached the gate, some senior sisters warmly greeted him. Shen Qian had a good face, and his short sleeves couldn't hide his sturdy arms. Immediately, two senior sisters came up to help.

"Hello, senior. I'm a Human Resource Management major. Which way do I go?"

"I know, I know. Follow me, junior."

One of the senior sisters beamed. Shen Qian took a look; this girl was slightly plump but not bloated, belonging to the cute type.

"Junior, how about we add each other's contact info? If there's anything you don't know later, you can ask me."

"Sure."

"My name is Li Ran. What's your name, junior?"

"Shen Qian."

"Oh... what did you say your name was?"

"Shen Qian, a freshman in the Human Resource Management major."

He revealed a faint smile.

"Junior, let me ask, do you know if there's someone in your major with a name similar to yours?"

"Are you talking about the one who made the crazy confession?"

"Yes, yes, that's the one."

"That's me."
