Then, he nodded to Lu Mingfei again, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Lu Mingfei looked down and examined the box.
It feels cool to the touch, with the metallic texture of a precision instrument.
He gently lifted the lid of the box—and inside lay not the banknotes he had imagined.
A card as dark as ink is protected in a specially made transparent dustproof sleeve.
The card's surface has a subtle yet sophisticated matte finish under the dim light.
The back of the card is printed with intricate silver patterns and a small laser-engraved signature—clearly Su Enxi's handwriting.
"Tsk tsk..." Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow slightly, his fingertips rubbing the cold card holder.
I've actually ended up with something I'd only ever seen in the news.
Holding this "hard currency" worth tens of millions, a smile still involuntarily spread across Lu Mingfei's lips.
He sat back down in the creaking, worn-out sofa and opened the chat window with the orchid icon that was still flashing wildly.
Potato chips are the best! See the card? The password is on the back, scratch it off yourself.
Potato chips are the best! Also, I'll be there promptly at 6 PM! You'd better have a decent gift prepared! Don't try to renege on your promise!
Lu Mingfei: So fast?
Potato chips are the best! Hmph! What? Trying to make up an excuse again? I knew it!
Lu Mingfei: Uh... how could that be!
Fearing his thoughts would be exposed, Lu Mingfei decisively closed the frantically popping and aggressive chat box.
In fact, Lu Mingfei also had doubts in his heart, namely that the operation was going too smoothly.
It was as if he really was their boss.
However, no matter what, getting the money in hand is the most important thing.
He didn't linger, deftly moved the mouse, and clicked "Log off".
He stood up and left his seat with fluid, effortless movements.
Chen Wenwen quickly stood up, just like his shadow.
The two went to the counter.
The dutiful man in sunglasses was already waiting there like a guardian deity.
The internet cafe manager lazily slapped three crumpled, slightly worn banknotes onto the greasy counter:
"Here's your change, seven yuan." — One five-yuan note, two one-yuan notes.
Lu Mingfei casually grabbed the crumpled seven yuan and stuffed it into his not-so-bulging pocket.
Well, even though I have a super black card in my pocket that can swipe for ten million...
But even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small!
At the door, the man in sunglasses asked:
"Young Master Lu, where are we going next?"
Lu Mingfei glanced at him, then at Chen Wenwen.
It seems this guy figured it out: no matter where he goes, Chen Wenwen will follow.
So it's better to just ask him directly.
However, he really liked being called Young Master Lu.
Lu Mingfei replied calmly, "Let's find a place to eat first."
It's almost midnight now. After dinner, I'll go to Century New Star to see Su Xiaoqiang.
The problem was... he glanced at Chen Wenwen again without making a sound.
Bring her along?
Su Xiaoqiang's fiery mind... would definitely conjure up dozens of episodes of melodramatic plots in an instant!
Explaining it will only make things more complicated.
Therefore, Chen Wenwen absolutely cannot be brought on the trip to the new generation of stars!
"Young Master Lu," the man in sunglasses spoke again, gesturing casually to the gleaming black Mercedes S500 parked by the roadside, "do you need a car?"
Lu Mingfei glanced at the Mercedes-Benz 500 parked on the side of the road and said indifferently, "Forget it!"
Riding in Chen Wenwen's car will affect his judgment of Chen Wenwen.
He who eats another's food is bound to do so; he who takes another's food is bound to do so.
He understands this simple principle.
He is afraid!
If the bearded man from "Dongfeng Express" who delivered the card hadn't appeared in time...
Lu Mingfei felt he was about to agree to Chen Wenwen's request.
He shook his head. He was changing, but Chen Wenwen, who had experienced that harrowing ordeal, was also changing.
And when he learned that besides himself, Chen Wenwen also retained her memories in this world.
Lu Mingfei felt a little comforted; at least he wasn't alone anymore.
If Chen Wenwen continues to relentlessly follow him like this...
"Sigh!" He couldn't help but sigh.
It's all that hero's fault for saving the damsel in distress!
Even knowing the outcome, he would still save them!
"...Thank goodness that damn system isn't on me." Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly.
If the system had been with me earlier, combined with the abilities of "emotional amplification" and "responding to expectations," I would have been able to achieve the same results.
The system might just give him a side quest where he has to kiss Chen Wenwen right then and there.
But it is undeniable.
The system is indeed a great thing; it responds to every request.
But the prerequisite is that you need to have the ability to control it.
He cannot yet be addressed as "Master" by the system like his teacher.
But most importantly, during the few days he had the system, he learned so much about this world.
Then time and spacetime were reset, giving him an advantage in every situation.
He was also wondering last night if this situation was deliberately created by the teacher.
Regardless of the circumstances, he has no choice but to endure it for now.
"Still too weak!" Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly.
Chapter 111 Actually, I am the Supreme Reincarnation...
At 2:00 PM sharp, Lu Mingfei arrived at Century Star Gym on time.
He didn't bring Chen Wenwen, and the man in sunglasses wasn't with him either.
Right now, those two are probably in the coffee shop downstairs.
As soon as he entered, Lu Mingfei caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoqiang sitting in a chair behind the counter.
He walked straight to the counter and found Su Xiaoqiang looking down at her phone.
He carefully examined Su Xiaoqiang's attire.
Her long, black hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore a gray-white tracksuit and sneakers.
It seems she really wants to "test her skills" with him.
A staff member quickly put on a professional smile and stepped forward: "Hello sir, are you a member?"
"Not yet!" Lu Mingfei replied casually, then turned and shouted to Su Xiaoqiang, "Consort Su, your emperor has returned!"
Su Xiaoqiang looked up at the sound and met Lu Mingfei's smiling face.
She immediately put down her phone, stood up, and her eyebrows furrowed in anger:
"Pah! You really think you're the emperor, don't you?"
The staff members standing nearby were stunned and didn't know how to interject.
Lu Mingfei wasn't annoyed. He took out the black card and slammed it on the counter.
"Consort Su, come here and get me a lifetime VIP card."
Su Xiaoqiang was about to retort when her gaze fell upon the black card, and she suddenly paused.
She looked up at Lu Mingfei suspiciously: "Lu Mingfei, did you... rob a bank?"
Lu Mingfei suddenly leaned closer, his body slightly leaning against the counter, his expression mysterious as he lowered his voice:
"Actually... I am..."
Seeing his posture, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but hold her breath.
He leaned even closer, as if to reveal a shocking secret:
"Actually, I'm a reincarnated genius. I told a girl I needed a million to make a comeback, and she was incredibly generous, so she just threw ten million at me!"
Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes at him—his unreliable nature hadn't changed at all.
She looked incredulous and said sarcastically:
"You wouldn't... have picked up a used card on the street and come here to pretend to be a big shot, would you?"
"Don't believe me?" Lu Mingfei smiled.
"Only a ghost can believe it!"
