8: Oil eruption, bonus explosion
The system began upgrading, and the prompt sound disappeared. There were still two weeks until the start of school, and he planned to take his parents to Shanghai for a trip during the last week.
That meant only one week left at home.
This final week was the perfect time for him to farm points.
"Shen Qian, I admit I misunderstood you slightly, and I said some harsh things before. I apologize to you."
Across the table, the girl's face was full of apology.
"It's fine, we are classmates. I'm very happy that you were still willing to see me today."
"You said you wanted to be with me before, were you serious? You know, I've never been in a relationship, so I'm very cautious about dating."
"I understand. To be honest, when you rejected me, I was happy, because the fact that you didn't agree casually means you are not a casual person. Only someone like you deserves to be liked by excellent people."
Shen Qian acted deeply affectionate. After performing this act so many times, he was no longer uncomfortable with such nauseating words. On the contrary, he even felt that what he was saying was true.
"Actually, we can try dating. Although our universities are in different cities, as long as there is love, distance is not a problem."
[The sixth one. Just one bmw was enough for me to get six targets. I wonder if the effect would be even better if I switched to a more expensive car.]
He complained internally, but his expression had already reached the excited part of the act.
"Really? Can I really do this?"
"Mhm. You're actually quite handsome and very talented."
Shen Qian stopped talking, reached out, and held her hand. The girl resisted slightly, then didn't insist further.
[If I date several people at once, I should be able to get quite a few rewards, right?]
Over the next few days, Shen Qian hardly ever contacted the girls proactively; instead, he waited for them to contact him. If they didn't contact him, he would immediately cut ties. However, none of them cut ties. On the contrary, they checked in on him daily, asking all sorts of questions, which inexplicably annoyed him.
"Honey, can you drive me to school?"
"Baby, I'm going to university right here in the city. Can't you just give me a ride?"
"Babe, can you see me off when I get on the bus?"
Looking at the requests made by the three girls, Shen Qian's mouth curved slightly.
"I'm busy."
Just two words, nothing more.
Shen Qian was a scumbag, and he didn't expect to have a serious relationship with them. His Girlfriends existed purely to farm scumbag points and obtain system rewards.
Besides, they dared to make demands after only dating for a week. If they dated for a month, wouldn't they expect him to hand over all his money?
Anyway, he was leaving soon, and the game of playing house was over. Shen Qian was grateful for their efforts in contributing to his scumbag points, but he wouldn't give them a single cent.
"Shen Qian, I am your Girlfriend!"
"Actually, after thinking about it, maybe I'm not suitable. You aren't as good as I imagined. Fortunately, we haven't taken things further. Let's just end it here."
"What do you mean?!"
"Anyway, we didn't make it official, and we didn't do anything else. You haven't lost anything. That's what I mean."
"Shen Qian, you bastard, you son of a bitch! You deceived my feelings! May you die a horrible death..."
Sixty seconds was the limit for the voice message, but not for her anger. Shen Qian couldn't understand what exactly she was so furious about. To say he deceived her feelings was nonsense; what feelings did they even have? Before formally confirming they were dating, they hadn't exchanged more than ten sentences.
Furthermore, when he first confessed, this woman mocked him, saying a toad wanted to eat swan meat. If anyone was deceiving feelings, it was her deceiving him.
Everyone knew the purpose of her agreeing to his confession when she clearly didn't like him.
But Shen Qian didn't care. She could curse all she wanted. No matter how much she cursed, he wouldn't delete her, as he still needed to farm scumbag value during holidays.
As for whether she would delete him...
It was the same old saying: he didn't care. If she left, he had others. Even if he didn't have others, he could find new ones. Keeping her was just for convenience.
This one was impatient. Compared to her, the other two were much better; they just sent a few angry emojis, and then no one bothered him anymore.
The next morning, just as he woke up, the system prompt sound, which hadn't appeared for a week, finally showed up again.
[The scumbag tycoon system has completed its update.]
[Host: Shen Qian]
[Current Targets: None]
[System Current Level: LV2. scumbag Behavior Exchange Rate: 1:20000]
[You acquired a new Girlfriend while already having a Girlfriend. This behavior meets the scumbag standard. Reward distribution in progress...]
[You had a Girlfriend while...]
[You chatted with other girls while dating your Girlfriend. This meets the...]
...Following a string of system prompts, Shen Qian felt his head buzzing, and it took him a while to recover.
[Achievement Panel Unlocked]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Achievement: She Doesn't Understand]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Achievement: Dating Two People at Once]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Achievement: Heartless Person]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Achievement: Just a Backup]
[...Current Achievement Points: 16]
[Achievement Mall Activated]
[scumbag Behavior Points have exceeded 100. A 10x Draw is available.]
Vaguely, Shen Qian felt like an oil prospector. He had been madly swinging his hoe before, and every strike was accumulating the energy that was now constantly gushing out.
Based on a rough estimate, his income in just these seven days exceeded 1 million, and his net worth immediately soared to over 3 million.
Furthermore, the items in the Achievement Mall were even more powerful than those in the Scumbag Store. Just among the cards he saw were the Gold cash card, reimbursement card, and cashback card.
According to what the system said before, the Purple limit was 200,000, so the Gold limit must be at least 500,000, right? Besides these three cards, there were also Business Cards, information cards, and a whole series of others. Each card only required 1 Achievement Point, and he currently had 16 points.
"First, let's draw! Give me a 10x Draw!"
The familiar Light Screen flashed.
This time, his luck was excellent: 2 Gold Cards, 5 Purple Cards, and 3 Blue Cards.
Shen Qian followed the old routine and opened the Blue Cards first: two cash cards and one Fragment Card.
[Used cash card, obtained 888 yuan in cash.]
[Used cash card, obtained 999 yuan in cash.]
[Used Fragment Card, obtained Porsche 911 Fragment.]
"Holy crap, there are fragments too?"
Shen Qian checked: it required 100 fragments to redeem a Porsche 911. It looked like a small consolation prize for drawing a Blue Card.
As for the Purple Cards, they were still reimbursement and cashback cards; he didn't see any other types.
[reimbursement card: Reimbursement for items within 1 million.]
[cashback card: Cashback for items within 1 million.]
"Level 2 is this awesome? Before it was 200,000, but now it starts at 1 million?"
Shen Qian opened the Achievement Mall again. His hand reached out to buy something, then quickly retracted.
"System, if I buy this card now but don't use it, will it upgrade along with your next system upgrade?"
[Yes.]
"Purchase Gold cashback card."
[Successfully purchased cashback card using 1 Achievement Point.]
[cashback card: Critical Cashback for items within 5 million.]
"Critical Cashback? How critical?"
[Cashback Multiplier: 10-30 times.]
"Holy sh*t!!!"
