PDLP Chapter 21 After becoming rich, the world is filled only with flattery.
Chapter 21 After becoming rich, the world is filled only with flattery.
"Boss, you're amazing! Even without us, your Han Xin would have been a national champion sooner or later!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Boss, hurry up! They only have Da Qiao left on the enemy team. If we kill her, we'll get a pentakill!"
In the villa at Yunqi Butterfly Valley.
Gu Bai lay comfortably on the soft sofa, the voice of a top-tier gaming companion constantly coming from his phone. With the companion's deliberate cooperation, Gu Bai successfully secured his sixth pentakill of the day.
Hearing the pleasant praise, Gu Bai casually put a piece of cut fruit from the coffee table into his mouth.
It has to be said that he has become increasingly enamored with the feeling of being rich.
Because he found that ever since he became rich, he was surrounded by flattering words and compliments...
"So that's why so many emperors in history loved sycophants... It feels really good..."
No one in this world likes harsh words unless they have some special trait. At least Gu Bai doesn't.
"Alright, let's start the next round. If we win the next one, I'll reach the national ranking, and I'll give you guys a big red envelope!"
Gu Bai glanced at the time on his phone, interrupted their flattery, and urged them to get started quickly.
There's no way around it, we have to be fast. Every minute counts in the task score, and the system's task score equals the task reward.
The previous task about renting a house earned him a guaranteed house worth over 80 million.
Even if this side quest is relatively simple, as long as the score is high enough, the rewards will definitely not be too bad.
About twenty minutes later.
Gu Bai's phone once again emitted the sound of a game victory.
At the same time, a system notification indicating that the task has been completed also appears.
[Side quest completed, rating being tallied]
[Task Rating: A]
[Task Reward: Three million yuan in special automotive funds]
.......
"Why did the task only get an A grade? I was already fast enough, is there an even faster way?"
Gu Bai was completely baffled by this, but the system had not given any clear explanation. It was like a pre-defined program that would issue tasks at the appropriate time and then distribute rewards after the tasks were completed.
Customer service doesn't exist at all...
Well, it would be terrifying if there were customer service representative Gu Bai involved.
After the system panel slowly faded away, Gu Bai's phone emitted a text message notification sound.
Gu Bai didn't even need to think about it; the three million had definitely arrived in his account...
The system has always been very generous when it comes to transferring money.
"What kind of car can you buy with three million...?"
The first car that came to Gu Bai's mind was a car he had often seen on short videos.
He still remembers very clearly what its GG language was.
"The six horizontal and twelve vertical axes of the heavens and earth will fulfill your childhood dream of first love, or something like that."
For a period of time, short videos were almost entirely dominated by Horch and Maybach.
He didn't understand why the short video creators thought he could afford the car, given his impoverished and down-on-his-luck appearance at the time...
This led him to believe that his phone was being unreasonable, constantly showing him things he didn't understand.
Now he understands.
It's not that he's ignorant about the technology, but rather that he has the potential!
He currently has over 3.5 million yuan in hand, which is more than enough for him to buy one of these two cars.
"I remember Horch was around two million, and Maybach was around three million..."
Gu Bai hesitated for a moment.
Should we buy a Horch or spend a little more to buy a Maybach...?
If only there were a system task to show him the way...
Just as Gu Bai was thinking this, the system panel that had disappeared not long ago reappeared in front of him.
[Side Quest: My Childhood Car Dream]
[Task Description: Every teenager has had a car they've always wanted. This car doesn't necessarily have to be expensive or luxurious, but it's definitely the car that teenager wanted most at that time.]
[Task Requirement: Buy the car you wanted most when you were young]
[Task Reward: The 300 million yuan car-specific fund has been expanded to 1000 million yuan]
.......
After reviewing the system's tasks, Gu Bai slumped onto the sofa, closed his eyes, and pondered what kind of car he had wanted most when he was young...
This system is good, but it's a bit taxing on the host's brain cells.
He's at least 26 years old now.
Having experienced both the baptism of education and the devastation of society, he can no longer clearly remember what he wanted when he was a child.
If we're talking about the cars he wants, then he has a lot to choose from.
But if you add a superlative, Gu Bai finds it really hard to think of one.
And so, Gu Bai lay on the sofa like a statue for two hours.
This led the other group of companions on the other side to believe that the red envelopes Gu Bai, the boss, was just empty promises...
Half an hour later, when the sunlight outside the villa had completely faded, Gu Bai, who had been sitting listlessly, suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up from the sofa.
"I remember now!"
But as soon as he jumped up, his legs went numb from sitting for too long, and he collapsed to the ground.
Gu Bai didn't care about this. While rubbing his thigh, he picked up his phone to check where he could buy the car he wanted when he was a child.
As a result, I saw the same few people still playing with me in the game room.
He then remembered to send red envelopes to the players who were playing with him.
Gu Bai touched his nose, slightly concealing his embarrassment, and directly opened the WeChat group chat with the group, sending each of them a transfer of 5,000 yuan.
Although they didn't get him the highest score, they still received 300 million yuan in special funds for automobiles, so it's only right that they get a little more.
As soon as Gu Baiqian sent it out, he received thanks from the players.
"Thanks for the red envelope, boss! Let's hang out again sometime!"
"Thanks, boss! Remember to rank up together sometime, I'm always available!"
.......
Ignoring their flattery, Gu Bai immediately began investigating what he wanted to know.
He soon found his destination – Hangzhou Auto City, No. 589 Shixiang Road, Gongshu District.
"I wonder if they'll still be open at this hour..."
Gu Bai glanced at the dark sky outside the window and the gentle streetlights along the roadside. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go tomorrow...
Since there was no time limit for this mission, Gu Bai wasn't in a hurry.
Besides, even if you find the car you want by this time, you can't transfer the ownership.
Late at night, who's going to be kind enough to handle the property transfer for you...?
I forced myself to suppress my excitement and it took me a long time to calm down.
As a native of Guangdong province, he watched a lot of the "Young and Dangerous" movies when he was a child, and he always wanted one of the vehicles in the movies that netizens have been joking about.
