Chapter 17: Returning Still a Youth

Wei Jun was stunned!
The latest Lamborghini Aventador, the ultimate model being the SVJ63 special edition, is equipped with a 6.5L V12 engine producing 770 horsepower.
It costs nearly 11 million yuan after taxes!
Where on earth did Jiang Jin get the money to buy this?
What’s more, his tone was as casual as if he were buying a cabbage at the market — wasn’t he showing off?
The salesperson greeted Jiang Jin with a professional smile, her voice warm but measured: “Hello sir, the top-spec Aventador is available in stock.”
Jiang Jin’s eyes lit up slightly, intrigued: “Oh? What color is it?”
The saleswoman smiled and replied with clear enunciation: “Blue Mans.”
Jiang Jin couldn’t help but exclaim softly, “Wow, that’s a nice color. Alright, swipe the card.”
In fact, Jiang Jin had spent considerable time browsing Lamborghini models on car apps, and he was quite taken with the Blue Mans color — a translucent blue, exactly his taste!
“Huh?”
The saleswoman was momentarily dumbfounded.
Though she had dealt with many wealthy buyers, she had never encountered a client as straightforward as Jiang Jin.
Wei Jun couldn’t help but mutter to himself: Just asked about the color and immediately swiped the card?
You must be really loaded to play like that!
But hold on, Jiang Jin was supposedly a real estate agent; if he really had that kind of money, why would he be doing this job?
Nearby car enthusiasts were also stunned by Jiang Jin’s boldness, and the showroom fell into a brief silence.
Fortunately, the saleswoman quickly regained her composure and invited Jiang Jin to the back office.
Wei Jun hesitated briefly but followed, eager to see if Jiang Jin could actually make the payment!
Five minutes later, the POS machine slowly printed out a receipt.
“Sir, congratulations on becoming the owner of a Lamborghini Aventador. Please keep your bank card.”
The saleswoman respectfully handed the card back to Jiang Jin.
Wei Jun’s face turned pale with envy!
Jiang Jin had just swiped 10.92 million yuan right before his eyes, crystal clear!
Even more shocking, Jiang Jin deliberately let him see the bank notification showing a balance of 168.78 million yuan!
The card balance alone far exceeded Wei Jun’s entire net worth!
So Jiang Jin was actually a wealthy heir trying out life as a real estate agent?
What right did Wei Jun have to act superior in front of Jiang Jin?
Just thinking about it made him feel ashamed!

So there really was a T2000 level carbon fiber task!
There’s a saying: a boast once made must be fulfilled, even if through tears.
He had already boasted a few days ago; the associated task had appeared, and the funds were ready — now it was just a matter of completing it!
Maybe it was best to first boost the X Alloy output?
Jiang Jin pondered briefly but chose the Carbon Fiber Series Task (3).
A gentleman does not harbor grudges overnight; these past days, Laqiu and a group of Dragon Kingdom haters had been lively on Weibo.
If he didn’t produce some solid evidence soon, those trashy people would just treat him like Hello Kitty.
The only pressure was the cumulative spending target — a bit daunting. What should he buy?
Alright, later he’d post a question on Zhihu, where the average salary was in the millions — those kings of debate would surely have ideas!
As for the 10,000 system points he just received...
Jiang Jin planned to complete the current consumption task, then with 100,000 system points, buy the skills for X-ray vision, invisibility, and wall-passing.
After all, the points were still too few; he needed to save them for emergencies.
Jiang Jin forced a slightly embarrassed smile: “Ah, I made a fool of myself in front of Mr. Wei.”
Wei Jun’s eyes flickered with confusion: “Mr.... Jiang, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“I didn’t listen to you, Mr. Wei, and just bought the Aventador outright — the top model, no less. I guess I was aiming too high!”
Jiang Jin said with mock anguish.
Wu Qingya’s face instantly flushed red.
This guy was practically about to take all the bamboo shoots from the old panda’s hometown mountain!
Wei Jun forced a smile: “Mr.... Jiang, you’re joking. With your financial strength, buying an Aventador is a breeze. I... I have some business now; we’ll talk later.”
With that, he slunk out of the back office.
Afterward, Jiang Jin and Wu Qingya went to the Lamborghini dealership to complete the paperwork.
While waiting to pick up the car, Jiang Jin saw a sensational post on Weibo.
He eagerly called out to Wu Qingya beside him: “Qingya, get on Weibo quickly!”
Startled by his sudden outburst, Wu Qingya showed a puzzled look and mumbled, “What, did you stir up another big news?”
Just two posts had unleashed an online battle; Jiang Jin’s knack for causing a stir was truly impressive!
A large number of netizens were now fiercely debating whether Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. could mass-produce T2000 level carbon fiber in a short time.
However, Jiang Jin smiled lightly, shaking his head with a hint of teasing: “You’re half right. It is big news, but it wasn’t me making it — it was your idol.”

Wu Qingya murmured, “My idol? Yu Manli?”
Jiang Jin nodded gently: “Yes, she’s releasing a new single tonight at 8 p.m. She posted a teaser on Weibo just ten minutes ago.”
Come to think of it, Yu Manli got the sheet music only nine days ago, and now she’s already recorded the song — lightning fast!
Wu Qingya hurried onto Weibo and saw #YuManliNewSong# had already topped the trending charts.
After two years of silence, Yu Manli’s comeback carried influence comparable to the famous “We” Weibo on Earth.
Of course, it still fell short of the viral “Hi everyone, let me introduce my girlfriend” post.
To surpass that kind of heat, Yu Manli would have to fall in love and publicly announce it.

Yu Manli’s Weibo content:
“For the past two years, I’ve been searching for a song that truly moves me. Now, I’ve found it.”
“Tonight at 8 p.m., Qiuqiu Music Platform, ‘Return as a Youth.’”

Return as a Youth?
Wu Qingya glanced at Jiang Jin.
If she remembered correctly, Jiang Jin said the song he wrote for Yu Manli was titled “Youth.”
Could everything he said be true?!
Jiang Jin shrugged, full of swagger.
Wu Qingya rolled her eyes and continued scrolling through Weibo.

“Oh my God, the goddess is releasing a song? I’m so thrilled!”
“Ahhhh! I can’t wait to hear the goddess’s new song!”
“The goddess hasn’t released a song in two years, finally a new one! So excited!”
“The goddess hasn’t sung for two years, her skill must have dropped a lot, don’t listen to it so I can be the first to hear it — just kidding.”
“My 40-meter broadsword is already unsheathed; let’s dress this brother in friendly colors for a proper farewell.”

Yu Manli’s fans were exuberant, like it was the New Year.
Xue Ting jumped on the hype, commenting: “If I’d known Sister Manli was releasing at 8 p.m. tonight, I would have picked a different time. Now I just hope I don’t lose too badly.”
“Don’t be afraid, Tingting, you have us, you won’t lose~”
“In my heart, Tingting is always the best!”
“Not a fan of either, but honestly, Xue Ting’s singing is better than Yu Manli’s. If I had to choose between their new songs, I’d pick Xue Ting’s.”
“I’m not a fan either, but I do think Xue Ting’s voice is a bit stronger.”

Within five minutes of Xue Ting’s comment, replies soared past a thousand with over ten thousand likes, quickly becoming the top comment!
Soon, #XueTingNewSong# surpassed #YuManliNewSong# to take the number one spot on the trending list.
In both views and discussions, #XueTingNewSong# was more than ten times that of #YuManliNewSong#.
