"Skill?"
Lin Xian found it amusing and quickly looked at the skill panel.
[Driving a Ferrari with One Hand]

10% chance to trigger the "Love at First Sight" effect.
PS: You may not be the most handsome man in the world, but the way you drive a Ferrari with one hand—now that is good-looking!
...
"Pfft!"
This skill...
Apparently, the focus isn't really on one-handed driving, but the Ferrari!
Lin Xian couldn't help but complain, but on second thought, driving a Ferrari with one hand... actually does sound cool!
Of course, that's just in theory.
Though Lin Xian didn't know much about sports cars, even he knew that Ferraris never came cheap. There wasn't a single model priced under 3 million yuan. Even the cheapest base model, the California T, started at 3.08 million. Let alone the other versions.
Based on his current system income of 680,000 yuan per year, it would take four or five years to afford one.
Would he like a Ferrari? Of course.
Few men can resist the allure of a top-tier sports car, just like few women can resist a diamond the size of a pigeon egg!
"Looks like I need to level up!" Lin Xian thought.
The faster he leveled up, the more his daily income would grow.
He was about to start college and needed a laptop.
As for the target, he had already picked one: the 2015 WXR 17R2 model, the latest version this year, priced at 14,320 yuan!
The reason he chose this laptop? No other reason—just two words: he liked it!
People online often say that rich folks don't buy the best—just the most expensive.
Lin Xian felt that people who say such things are either nouveau riche or just talking nonsense.
True Super Tycoon never look at the price. They buy what they truly like. If they love it, they'd pay a hundred million for it. If they don't, even one yuan is too much.
Nothing is more valuable than something that speaks to your heart.
Jack Ma still eats street barbecue and instant noodles. Do you think he can't afford a fancy meal?
Once he made up his mind, Lin Xian didn't hesitate. He took out his phone and started placing the order.
Enter store, choose model and specs, fill in shipping address, make payment—the whole process was smooth and quick.
After buying the laptop, he immediately looked at the system interface.
Host: Lin Xian
Level: LV2
LV1 Privilege Reward: Earn 0.2 yuan with every blink
XP: 0/100000 (XP can only be earned through spending. Money gained through loans or income will not earn XP!)
System Store: Not yet unlocked
Items: [LV2 Privilege Gift Pack]
Skill: [Driving a Ferrari with One Hand]
Balance: 86.7 yuan
As expected, after reaching LV2, his earnings per blink had doubled—0.2 yuan.
That's 3,800 yuan per day!
Which meant the laptop he just bought only cost three or four days of income.
And after leveling up, he also received a new gift pack.
"Open the gift pack!"
Ding!
Congratulations! You've opened the [LV2 Privilege Gift Pack] and received a one-time item.
[Consumption Rebate Critical Hit Card]: Use this card to specify one purchase. After the purchase, you'll receive a Critical Strike Rebate between 50%–500%, with the exact percentage randomly determined. (PS: Will you be blessed with great fortune, or suffer the curse of bad luck?)
...
"Oh, this is good stuff!"
After reading the item description, Lin Xian was delighted.
You choose a specific expense, get a rebate, and it might even hit a massive critical multiplier. At minimum 50%, and up to five times the original amount. Any way you look at it, it's a win.
The moment he got the card, Lin Xian's first thought was to borrow money from his parents.
Obviously, the more you spend, the more you earn.
If he spent 500,000 yuan and got lucky with a 3x critical hit, he'd earn 2 million. Even if luck failed and he only got 50%, that's still 250,000.
But he soon dismissed that idea.
Normally asking his parents for a few thousand yuan in allowance was fine. But suddenly asking to borrow 500,000? No way they'd agree. Plus, he had no good excuse for it.
Lin Xian did some quick calculations. After buying the laptop, his savings still had over 80,000 yuan left.
With 80,000, he might still profit 200,000 or 300,000 if he got lucky.
Should he use it?
He hesitated for a while and decided to wait.
Obviously, the higher the amount spent when using the card, the more it pays off. Now that he was LV2, earning 3,800 yuan a day meant he'd make 114,000 yuan in a month. Add to that his current savings, and he'd soon have over 200,000 yuan.
But then he hesitated again. After all, upgrading to LV3 only required 100,000 yuan of spending, and once he leveled up again, his daily income would increase even more.
In the long run, upgrading the system was clearly the more profitable move.
"Better wait a bit. I don't even have 100,000 yet anyway."
After making his decision, Lin Xian realized it was almost 2 p.m., so he stood up and said toward the cashier counter, "Mom, I'm heading to driving school."
Wang Hongmei didn't even look up and replied, "Take an umbrella. It's so hot outside, you might get heatstroke."
Though it felt odd for a guy to carry an umbrella, considering the nearly 40-degree heat, Lin Xian obediently grabbed one.
Anyone who's learned to drive knows that with a dozen students sharing one training car, you usually only get 10 minutes of practice every hour or two. The rest of the time is spent waiting under the sun. In this kind of weather, standing outside for an hour or two could definitely lead to heatstroke.
He had signed up for the VIP class at the driving school. Though it had fewer students than the standard class, the reduction was limited. Waiting was still inevitable.
The reason was simple: they had just finished the college entrance exams, and many students wanted to get their license during the two-month summer break, causing a surge in VIP students.
As he opened the front door, a wave of heat instantly hit him.
Within seconds, the scorching sun made the back of his neck sting slightly.
"Bringing an umbrella was definitely the smart move."
With one hand holding the umbrella and the other on his electric scooter, Lin Xian leisurely rode off toward the driving school.
...
"Lin Xian?"
Just past an intersection, a familiar voice called out from the side of the road.
Lin Xian paused, stopped the scooter, turned his head, and smiled. "Yo, isn't that Yan Xiaoman?"
Under the bus shelter stood a graceful girl.
She had delicate features, and even without any makeup, her natural beauty still scored a solid 90. Dressed in a white dress, with her long black hair draping over her shoulders, and standing 1.68 meters tall, she looked like someone out of a dream.
Yan Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him. "Can you take things seriously for once, Lin Xian? You're always making fun of me."
Yan Xiaoman was Lin Xian's classmate. Thanks to her looks and aura, she and two other girls had been dubbed the "Three Campus Belles" of Experimental High School by gossip-loving students.
