Chapter 4: Spending Money Can Truly Become an Addiction!

[Page 1/3]

【Task: Alloy X Series Task 3.】
【Task Objective: Cumulative spending of 10 million Dragon Kingdom Dollars.】
【Task Reward: Alloy X production speed increased to 100kg/24 hours, 10,000 system points, and unlocking the Vibranium series tasks.】

【Task: Carbon Fiber Series Task 1.】
【Task Objective: Cumulative spending of 5 million.】
【Task Reward: Supernova Technology Laboratory *1, unlocking T1100-grade carbon fiber production line, T1100-grade carbon fiber production speed of 100kg/24h, 5,000 system points.】

【Choose one of two tasks. The abandoned task will be refreshed in the future. Please make your choice within 10 seconds.】

Holy crap, Vibranium? Is that the kind of Vibranium from Wakanda?
If it is, that would be insane!
According to comic book lore, Wakanda became the most technologically advanced nation on Earth because it possessed the unique and rare resource known as Vibranium.
If Vibranium were introduced to the real world...
Just imagine if all of the Dragon Kingdom’s military equipment were made of Vibranium—that would be a beautiful sight!
However, the requirement is a cumulative spend of 10 million, and I don’t have that much right now.
Since this task will refresh later anyway, I’ll start with the carbon fiber series task.
Better to take small steps at first to avoid pulling a muscle.
Besides, T1100-grade carbon fiber is highly valuable, worth about 2,000 Dragon Kingdom Dollars per kilogram. Once unlocked, it could generate a daily income of 200,000, right?
Because high-quality carbon fiber has immense utility in the military sector—for instance, it is used extensively in intercontinental missiles and advanced fighter jets.
It is also widely applied in commercial sectors, such as supercars and carbon-fiber-framed bicycles.
Based on the host's memories, the Dragon Kingdom is currently capable of mass-producing carbon fiber below the T800 grade.
Technology for T1000 and T1100-grade carbon fiber has been conquered, but mass production hasn't been achieved yet.
Once the task is finished, I should be able to sign a big new contract with the Dragon Academy of Sciences, right?

【Ding! Task selection complete. Personal attribute interface opened...】
【Note: The system mall will be unlocked after completing three tasks in total.】

System mall?
So the system points rewarded are for purchasing items from the system mall?
If that's the case, what kind of things would be sold there?
And the Supernova Technology Laboratory sounds absolutely top-tier.

Jiang Jin: "Ahem, beauty, how about I buy a few more from you?"
The sales lady wanted to show off her split-doing skills while taking the opportunity to add Jiang Jin on WeChat.
In the end, Jiang Jin suppressed the urge to spend the full 5 million at the BMW 4S dealership.
He had basically figured out the system's pattern: completing one task immediately triggers a new one.
With insufficient funds, there's no need to rush through the tasks.
I must focus on making money first!

An hour later, Jiang Jin drove the 840i with Wu Qingya to the Shanghai International Finance Center.
Ignoring her objections, he carefully selected a set of luxury attire for her.
If Wu Qingya in a suit was a corporate elite, then Zhao Qingya in a Chanel dress was a fairy incarnate.
With a bit less maturity and coldness, and a bit more youth and sweetness.
Well, she is a girl who can be both salty and sweet!
I must get to know her better when I have the chance.
Jiang Jin made up his mind, then went to Armani to buy himself a white slim-fit suit.
Clothes make the man; Jiang Jin, who was wearing generic clothes earlier, was already the "Wu Yanzu of East City."
After changing into the Armani suit, which better accentuated his physique and temperament, even Wu Qingya’s eyes lit up.
Off-the-charts looks!

"I feel like something is still missing..."
After leaving Armani, Jiang Jin fell into deep thought.
Wu Qingya reminded him: "You're missing a watch."
Jiang Jin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "That’s right, a watch! Can you recommend a brand?"
Wu Qingya thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Patek Philippe, perhaps. Some of their models fit your temperament."
Jiang Jin asked curiously: "What kind of temperament do I have?"
Wu Qingya gave a playful smile and said half-jokingly: "A nouveau riche?"
The boat of friendship capsized just like that!
Jiang Jin sighed helplessly and said: "But then again, although 'nouveau riche' doesn't sound great, how many people want to be one but never get the chance?"
"Fine, nouveau riche it is. Still better than a loser."
Qingya smiled and comforted him: "Alright, I'm just teasing you. Actually, you have a kind of uninhibited temperament."
She didn't say more, but Jiang Jin felt much better.

Upon arriving at the Patek Philippe counter, Jiang Jin picked out a pair of entry-level couple’s watches for a total of 720,000.
The salesperson asked enthusiastically: "Sir, do you have a membership card?"
Jiang Jin shook his head: "No."
The salesperson smiled and suggested: "I'll help you apply for one so we can keep your purchase records. Also, once your spending reaches a certain amount, you can upgrade to a Patek Philippe VIP member! Then, you’ll have priority access to purchase our popular models."
Wu Qingya suddenly interjected: "I have a VIP card that offers a 5% discount. Do you want to use it?"
Jiang Jin felt puzzled; if he remembered correctly, the clerk had just said that one needed to spend a certain amount to upgrade to VIP.
So, where did Wu Qingya get this VIP card?
However, the salesperson replied somewhat awkwardly: "Miss, are you mistaken? Patek Philippe VIP cards do not have a discount function."
Wu Qingya said as if it just dawned on her: "Oh, I misspoke. It’s a Diamond VIP."
Jiang Jin asked curiously: "Is a Patek Philippe Diamond VIP hard to get?"
The salesperson nodded and replied: "Hard, very hard! To become a Patek Philippe VIP, one must spend over 10 million annually. To upgrade from VIP to Diamond VIP, one needs to spend 20 million annually for five consecutive years, and possess a certain social status."

Hearing this, Jiang Jin couldn't help but gasp.
Could it be that Wu Qingya is a wealthy socialite with an extraordinary background?
Doesn't that mean my wish to have Wu Qingya act as my secretary is doomed to fail?
System, I suddenly don't want to work hard anymore, what should I do?
Wu Qingya explained: "This card belongs to someone else."
Jiang Jin remained skeptical; he hadn't known her long enough, and he would have to find a way to figure out her true depths later!
Jiang Jin shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, I'll just apply for my own card."
Am I the kind of person who cares about saving twenty or thirty thousand on a discount?
Besides, having my own membership card means I can come back to Patek Philippe to shop more often, right?

After applying for the card and paying, Jiang Jin put the watch on right there.
You have to admit, after putting on a high-end watch, Qin Ming’s temperament really improved quite a bit.
Wu Qingya didn't stand on ceremony either and put her watch on. Standing together, they really did look like a couple.
After that, Jiang Jin went to the Huawei counter to pick up some electronic devices and bought 13 extra top-tier P40 Pro+ phones.
It’s been two years since I’ve seen my classmates; it’s not too much to bring some gifts, is it?
While supporting domestic brands, he could also let his classmates help him share the pressure of spending money!

At 6:00 PM, the two left the International Finance Center, and Jiang Jin’s current spending total was locked at 1.2 million.
Adding the 1.05 million spent on the car, Jiang Jin had spent 2.25 million in a single day.
Spending money is truly addictive!

Sun Kai said enviously: "Not bad, Class Monitor Zhao, you’re driving a BMW X5 now!"
Li Ming, standing nearby, couldn't help but marvel: "Whoa—this is the top-trim X5, right? Must have cost close to a million to get it on the road?"
At the entrance of the Jinyu Mantang Hotel, five young people were standing in front of a black BMW X5, chatting.
The most eye-catching among them was a couple. The man was wearing trendy brands, limited-edition AJ1s, and a Rolex Submariner "Hulk."
However, his appearance was a bit lacking; he was 170cm tall, and his facial features could only be described as decent.
Despite his youth, he wore his hair in a slicked-back style, which gave him a bit of a "boss" temperament.
The girl beside him was quite excellent—165cm tall, sweet-looking with long, flowing hair.
She wore a white dress, and her figure was very striking.
They were none other than Zhao Wen and Yang Xue!
The three standing opposite them were Li Ming, Sun Kai, and a girl named Wang Linlin.
Wang Linlin was Sun Kai's girlfriend, and they were in the same department but different classes.
Zhao Wen laughed and replied: "It's the second-highest trim. Cost around 800,000 to get it on the road. Don't be envious; as long as you work hard, you'll definitely be able to drive one too."
