58: Diligently being a scumbag
Because he had already stayed at the Peace Hotel and Center J, even though the Bulgari's decor was more extravagant now, Shen Qian only felt it was decent, without the shock he felt the first time at Center J.
But Qin Lan beside him was different; she had specifically worn her sexiest and most expensive clothes today, and besides that, earrings, necklaces, she didn't miss a single piece—it could be described as dressing in her finest attire.
Despite this, while walking in the hotel lobby, she still felt a bit of stage fright.
Confidence is something that needs to be cultivated, even though she had already prepared herself mentally, knowing she would be coming to the Bulgari.
But the high prices and the people coming and going all formed an invisible pressure on her, because she knew that her so-called elegance and composure were faked.
And when she looked at the scenery outside from within the Bulgari, joy was no longer enough to describe her current mood.
"Senior, do you like it here?"
"I like it, of course I like it, this is the Bulgari after all!"
"Then Senior, do you know what we're going to do next?"
The girl looked at Shen Qian without a hint of shyness; after all, she was already prepared since she dared to come.
Moreover, in her view, Shen Qian's Looks and physique were both top-notch, and in such an environment, it was hard to say who was really getting the better deal.
Shen Qian had excellent stamina; the two stayed like that from morning until afternoon, only stopping to go out for a meal when Shen Qian felt a bit hungry.
The two didn't go to any high-end restaurant, but just had a four-person meal at a barbecue place. Even though both were starving, the girl across from him still thoughtfully wrapped the grilled meat in lettuce to feed Shen Qian.
"Senior, are there any seniors chasing you at school?"
Ever since Shen Qian got money and became a scumbag, it seemed that besides those few Campus Belles, no woman had ever lost her temper with him.
Liu Xinyao had indeed gotten angry, but she only sent a message, and didn't even use harsh words.
"Lately, there have been one or two juniors chasing me, but I've rejected them all."
Shen Qian wasn't sure if she had rejected them, but he wouldn't believe Qin Lan's one-sided story. In today's society, women keeping multiple prospects on the hook has basically become a passive skill; anyway, there's no loss in stringing them along, and maybe a surprise will pop up one day.
"How about you, Junior? Is anyone chasing you?"
Shen Qian shook his head.
"How is that possible? I don't believe it."
"What I mean is, I don't need others to chase me, I'm always the one chasing others. When school just started, I confessed to all the girls in our class, but unfortunately, not a single one agreed."
"Then what if someone had agreed?"
"Then I'd pick a few good-looking ones to date."
He was unashamedly a scumbag, which was within Qin Lan's expectations. After all, in her eyes, Shen Qian was an extremely free-spirited young master, and such a man could never be sincere in love.
Even if there was sincerity, it couldn't last, as he faced more temptations than even an average beautiful girl.
"Junior really doesn't hide anything at all."
She feigned unhappiness, complaining.
Shen Qian looked at her without much feeling. After all, he knew from Liu Xinyao that if a man is powerful, being a philanderer isn't a flaw at all, but a necessary quality.
Those who can be tamed are dogs; those who cannot be tamed are men.
Originally, Ni Zixin yesterday had inevitably made him waver a bit, but this senior today had strengthened his resolve.
He wandered the streets with the girl for a while longer before finally returning to the hotel for a night of passion.
[Entangling with a girl you don't like, behavior fits scumbag criteria, reward being issued...]
[Rejecting a Girlfriend's call while spending time with another girl, behavior fits scumbag criteria, reward being issued...]
[Calling a girl you have an ambiguous relationship with while dating another girl, behavior fits scumbag criteria, reward being issued...]
Shen Qian looked at the senior who was still sleeping, very satisfied with her performance. It was just a bit of a pity; he thought that since she liked keeping prospects on the hook so much, she would have a long-distance Boyfriend or something.
Or a Boyfriend at a different school.
But there wasn't; among the series of rewards, there was no bonus for that part. However, it wasn't a wasted trip. The system recorded two new scumbag behaviors, and through his series of efforts and the cooperation of Ni Zixin and Qin Lan, he could perform two more 10-draws.
"System, perform two 10-draws."
The light swirled once again. Luck was good this time: 4 gold cards, and the rest were actually all purple cards—not a single blue one, which Shen Qian hadn't expected.
Among the purple cards, cashback cards and reimbursement cards accounted for 5, and the rest were all experience cards.
These experience cards were also good things. No matter what knowledge it was, as long as it was basic, using a few experience cards could make it comparable to a professional level; use a few more, and it could even reach master level.
What Shen Qian focused on most were the gold cards. Among the four gold cards, there was only one connection card, and the other three were two information cards and one enhancement card.
"enhancement card? A new card."
Shen Qian clicked on this gold card, and the card's information was displayed.
[enhancement card, choose any aspect to enhance]
Then, one small button after another appeared in front of him.
[Wealth Luck] [Fortune] [Longevity]... Shen Qian's eyebrows twitched repeatedly as he looked.
This card was somewhat divine. If the previous cards simply gave money or connections, the existence of this card was a presence that directly transcended understanding.
He had originally thought this card could enhance the body or something; now it seemed it could not only enhance the body but even enhance fate.
"System, can Luck in Love be enhanced?"
Suddenly, a small box moved from a position below to the very top.
[Luck in Love]
Shen Qian thought about it but ultimately didn't click enhance on Luck in Love. The reason was simple: the girls he encountered now were either after his money or his Looks. If his Luck in Love was enhanced and someone didn't care about money or Looks but just wanted to be with him for him, he would have to reject them, which would be quite troublesome.
As for Wealth Luck, Fortune, and Longevity—with the system, he didn't lack money at all. Fortune? Having the system, wasn't that already having Fortune? Longevity? If an accident came tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to dodge it anyway.
Instead of thinking about those what-ifs, it was better to live well in the present.
So, he clicked enhance on the Looks button.
Almost the instant he clicked it, a slight burning sensation appeared on his face, but it was only for a moment before the sensation disappeared.
He walked to the mirror and took a look. The changes in his features weren't very obvious, but just these slight changes made the entire structure of his face much more pleasing to the eye.
Touching it with his hand, there seemed to be some oil or something on his face. When he finished washing his face, his true Looks were revealed. Shen Qian didn't know how to evaluate it. To say he was just handsome seemed superficial; one could only say that this face was now on par with Yanzu.
