After completing my life's work, I achieved financial freedom.

As the sun sets, its afterglow illuminates the plaza of in77.

After an afternoon of shopping, Gu Bai finally completed the purchase of the items needed for the mission.

"No, Gu Bai, are you planning to quit? Or have you really struck it rich?"

Xu Zhixia stared blankly at Gu Bai, holding the aluminum EZ63 keyboard that Gu Bai had just bought.

In just half a day, Gu Bai spent nearly 100,000 yuan in front of her.

Take the keyboard she's holding as an example.

She just couldn't understand why a keyboard cost 1,500 yuan.

Isn't it said that men's spending power is second only to dogs? How come reality is different from what's said online...?

"No, I just feel that I've been living too miserably in the past, and I want to improve my quality of life."

Gu Bai casually responded to Xu Zhixia, but most of his attention was on the system panel floating in front of him.

[Task 2: Obtain something unattainable in youth (Progress 10/10)]

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Mission score is being tallied.]

[Scoring complete, task rating: A]

[Reward: Unlock the Wealth Pyramid and upgrade the host's wealth level to A7]

[Since the host has no assets to upgrade, the system will automatically replenish the host's savings to 100 million yuan, and the host will receive a fixed monthly income of 15000 yuan.]

......

The reward for completing the task is to directly upgrade your wealth level to A7!

Gu Bai became excited as he read the lines of system instructions.

He had only seen the concept of wealth levels on Douyin. His original wealth level was A5, which wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good either.

Unexpectedly, after only one day of obtaining the system, I jumped two ranks directly from A5 to A7.

With just a little more improvement, A8 and A9 would be a piece of cake.

With a system in place, what's the point of doing any work?

Working is out of the question! I'll never work in my life; I can only make a living by doing system tasks.

Of course, increasing your wealth level doesn't necessarily mean increasing your social circle; you still need to figure things out on your own to improve your social standing...

However, 15000 yuan a month is actually enough for him to live a comfortable life of lying around, eating and waiting to die.

As the system panel slowly disappeared, Gu Bai's phone emitted a text message notification tone as usual.

The sudden phone notification instantly caught Xu Zhixia's attention.

Out of the corner of her eye, she also saw the text message on Gu Bai's phone.

"Holy crap, Gu Bai! You still say you don't know martial arts!"

Whether someone is truly shocked can be completely sensed from their words.

Just like now, Xu Zhixia simply exclaimed "Holy crap!" which left Gu Bai completely bewildered.

Gu Bai had known the other person for more than two months. They weren't exactly close friends, but they were at least familiar with each other.

This "Holy crap" was the first time Gu Bai had heard the other person use such a vulgar language since they had been in contact.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't you at least maintain some ladylike manners?"

Gu Bai coughed lightly, signaling the other party to stop acting like they'd never seen the world before.

Although this was the first time I'd ever held a million-dollar sum in my hands, I still needed to stay calm when necessary...

Xu Zhixia seemed to realize her lapse in composure, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her chubby round face, the blush spreading from her small face to her ears under Gu Bai's gaze.

Gu Bai was afraid that if things continued like this, the other party would be directly exposed because of this, so he changed the subject.

"Since you spent the whole day shopping with me and even picked out watches and shoes for me, how about I treat you to a nice dinner tonight?"

What is the meaning of making money?

That's definitely spending money!

If you don't make money to spend, then making money is meaningless.

Having received a million, Gu Bai felt he had to splurge a little, at least treating his apprentice who had helped him get an A rating to a meal.

If we're going to have a nice meal, then we should naturally go to a high-class hotel.

This was a complete blind spot for Gu Bai, who was always struggling financially.

After all, even if there are social engagements, the stingy boss at the company will arrange the hotel, claiming that he is familiar with the hotel owner and that the hotel won't let him down at crucial moments.

In reality, they were afraid their employees would take kickbacks...

Fortunately, we live in an era of information overload, so finding out which upscale hotels and restaurants are nearby is incredibly easy.

Gu Bai quickly set a goal.

"How about we go to Lakeside 28 for a meal?"

Although he had made the decision, Gu Bai felt it would be better to ask for the other party's opinion.

If the other person doesn't like the restaurant's cuisine, they won't enjoy the meal, so there's absolutely no need for that.

"What place is Lakeside 28?"

Xu Zhixia was completely dumbfounded after hearing the location Gu Bai mentioned.

It was obvious that she, coming from an ordinary family, had no knowledge of these places.

So she took Gu Bai's phone and looked at the information on it.

Is this a Hangzhou cuisine restaurant? Is their signature dish West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?

Upon seeing the message on her phone, Xu Zhixia instantly perked up.

As everyone knows, Hangzhou is a food wasteland.

The most famous local dish is West Lake Vinegar Fish, which is neither too sweet nor too sour.

This dish is famous not because it tastes particularly good, but because eleven out of ten people who have tried it would like to dump it into West Lake.

The main reason it is famous and has been preserved is that countless brave souls who dared to defy the odds have tried to taste this dish over the centuries.

Looking at Xu Zhixia's expression, Gu Bai could tell at a glance that she also wanted to be a warrior...

"Let me tell you, you bear part of the responsibility for why dishes like West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce haven't been eliminated," Gu Bai teased, as if you were deeply sinful.

Xu Zhixia pursed her lips indifferently.

"So what? So many people have a responsibility to go, it won't make a difference if I do too. Besides, there are clearly several restaurants nearby listed, but you chose this one, which means you're actually quite curious about the fish, right? Pfft, no man wants to call you out on that!"

Feeling embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through, Gu Bai touched his nose and didn't continue arguing with the other person.

This girl has a sharp tongue; at least in the past two months, Gu Bai hasn't won an argument with her.

Not only Gu Bai, but even her former employees rarely managed to win an argument with her.

Especially when this girl is in good form, it's practically a 1v17 advantage for me.

Anyway, Gu Bai was always trembling with fear as he watched from the sidelines.

The Lakeside 28 Chinese Restaurant is actually located inside the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The Grand Hyatt Hotel is not far from where Gu Bai is now; it's only about a three- or four-minute walk away.

The two of them simply carried their bags and walked towards the Grand Hyatt.
