Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

The manager stepped forward to help introduce the car: "Mr. Cao, this Mercedes-AMG G63 is the top-of-the-line version available in China. It's equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, the AMG Night Package, matte black paint, carbon fiber exterior kit, interior and steering wheel, dual 12.3-inch screens, 22-inch AMG wheels with red high-performance brake calipers, leather interior, and is fully equipped. It's already registered, so you can drive it away right now."

Xu Niannian couldn't wait to walk to the car, reaching out to stroke the smooth body, her eyes filled with infatuation and a desire to show off.

Cao Xu took the opportunity to stand next to her, and Xu Niannian immediately took his arm, rested her head slightly on his shoulder, and playfully stuck one leg out behind her, striking a perfect pose for the photo.

The manager understood immediately and gestured. Two staff members immediately turned the confetti canisters, and with a few crisp "bangs," colorful confetti flew everywhere, landing on the car and the two people around them, instantly maximizing the sense of ceremony for picking up the car.

Cao Xu walked around to the passenger side and opened the car door for her: "Come on, Niannian, try out your special passenger seat."

Xu Niannian excitedly got into the car, enjoying the luxurious interior. She immediately took out her phone and started taking pictures of the car's interior, logo, and body. She then turned the camera around and took selfies from various angles.

Then, I quickly edited the caption: "Congratulations on getting a G-Class!", along with nine carefully selected photos—a moment of fireworks, a panoramic view of the car, interior details, a selfie of myself in the passenger seat, and a photo of me with Cao Xu, and then clicked send without hesitation.

[System notification: Xu Niannian's favorability has increased by 1 point, currently at 77 points.]

Seeing her excited expression, Cao Xu also took out his phone and took a few photos of the G63's exterior and interior, which he then posted on WeChat Moments and Douyin. He figured that a young man who doesn't show off is wasting his youth, and this was a perfect opportunity to build his persona.

Qin Shuyao's favorability rating rose so quickly because she saw his WeChat Moments and Douyin videos, including videos and photos of him attending classes, eating in the cafeteria, and playing sports, which proved that he was not only rich but also young and good-looking.

If the bald, pot-bellied old man gave her a tip of over 2 yuan, Qin Shuyao would smile and say "Thank you, big brother," but then immediately turn around and curse, "You big bastard, you want to eat shit."

Not long after the post was published on WeChat Moments, the two of them received messages one after another. Underneath Xu Niannian's Moments, there were envious comments from her best friends and classmates. She couldn't stop smiling as she scrolled through them.

Cao Xu glanced at the car casually, put away his phone, and said to the manager, "The car is fine, we're driving off."

"Okay, Mr. Cao, have a pleasant driving experience!" The manager nodded quickly. "If you have any vehicle-related issues later, please feel free to contact us, and we will handle it for you as soon as possible."

Cao Xu got into the driver's seat, started the car, and the powerful engine roared to life. Xu Niannian leaned against the passenger seat, looking at him with a satisfied expression, her eyes almost overflowing with adoration. She knew that this time, she had finally found the right person to rely on, and her all-in gamble last night had not been in vain.

Cao Xu is a pretty good driver. He got his driver's license after the college entrance examination and has been driving his family's car during the winter and summer vacations for the past few years. Not far from the 4S store onto the main road, there is a PetroChina gas station next to him. He turned the car in, stopped in front of a gas pump, rolled down the window, and said in a low voice, "Fill it up with 98 octane."

Damn it, Gan's dream has come true.

"Hello sir, the tank is full of 98-octane gasoline, and the gauge has returned to zero. Please check."

As the gas pump buzzed, the amount quickly jumped up. The Chinese-spec AMG G63 has a 100L fuel tank, and 98-octane gasoline is currently priced at 9.5 yuan per liter. After filling up with 98L, the pump stopped, and the amount displayed was 931 yuan.

Xu Niannian was speechless. Luxury cars are nice, but even if you drive one for free, you can't afford to drive it. You'd be starving after just two gas fill-ups.

The two had lunch outside, then drove back to school. After registering temporarily at the school gate, they dropped Xu Niannian off at her dormitory building.

Because his roommate Zheng Bowen drove to school in his freshman year, Cao Xu had a good understanding of the vehicle situation of students at the University of Finance and Economics. Undergraduates are not allowed to apply for long-term passes and can only register temporarily each time to enter the campus. Parking on campus costs 5 yuan per hour, with a daily limit of 30 yuan.

Faculty and graduate students can apply for long-term passes, which cost 150 yuan per month or 1200 yuan per year. Therefore, most undergraduate students with cars park in the parking lot at the school gate.

Cao Xu drove his brand-new Mercedes-Benz G63 into the school to satisfy Xu Niannian's vanity and his own desire to show off. The imposing presence of the G63 certainly drew a lot of attention to the two of them.

After seeing the reluctant Xu Niannian downstairs, Cao Xu went to the school supermarket and bought two packs of Golden Leaf cigarettes, intending to upgrade his lifestyle. He usually smoked Blue Tower cigarettes. He wasn't a heavy smoker; a pack of cigarettes would last him three or four days. He would usually have one while squatting on the toilet or playing games.

Cao Xu kicked open the dormitory door and shouted, "You unfilial sons, come and greet your father!"

Zhou Lei, who was sitting behind the door, was startled. "You kicked the door again! You scared your dad to death!"

Lei Zi is a big, strong man from eastern Shandong. He has recently started speaking fluent Henan dialect. He is 185 cm tall and has a broad and thick build. He has a generous personality and is enthusiastic about participating in club and student council activities. He is Cao Xu's basketball partner and they occasionally play games together.

At this moment, Zheng Bowen, who was lying on the upper bunk near the balcony, spoke up: "What's up with your WeChat Moments post this morning? You're not replying to any of us guys talking to you. What's with the Mercedes G-Class?"

Zheng Bowen is a local from Nanjing. He comes from a well-off family and is a handsome young man. In the Xianlin University Town, there are 12 universities and more than 20 teachers and students. He drove a Mustang when he first started university. Whenever he parked it on the side of the road, the girl in the passenger seat would change every day. He was a regular at various bars and nightclubs.

Another roommate, Xu Haoran, was sitting at his desk playing games with headphones on, completely unaware that Cao Xu had come in. He was a skinny, nerdy anime fan who spent his free time in the dorm playing games when he wasn't in class. He longed for love, constantly saying he was in an online relationship, only to announce a breakup a few days later. Cao Xu called him Spring.

Um... it's like every relationship I have falls through.

Cao Xu opened a box of cigarettes and threw two packs of cigarettes onto the keyboard. "Of course I bought the car, otherwise, would I have posted a video of the car delivery? Quickly call him godfather." He then realized that Cao Xu had returned and hurriedly took off his headphones.

"If you do not abandon me, I am willing..."

Zheng Bowen jumped off the bed. "Wait, buddy, how come you're driving a G-Wagon all of a sudden? It must have cost over 300 million yuan, damn it! Did your family give you the money?"

There's a saying that goes something like this: I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover.

Knowing his roommate was joking, he teased, "My parents both work for the government. If they buy me a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, wouldn't that be a short way to getting arrested? I earned this myself. After being tortured by the A-shares market for so long, I've finally seen the light. I've switched to overseas futures and stock markets, and I've made quite a bit this summer." Cao Xu gave his prepared reason, and his million-dollar cash was indeed listed as "income from overseas futures withdrawals."

Zhou Lei couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this. "We're all classmates, and I'm even a better student than you. We're both just韭菜 (a metaphor for retail investors who are easily exploited) in the A-share market. How come you suddenly made money? How much did you make? You couldn't have bought a car with it all, could you?"

"No way, I've already made a lot of money, so I'm using it to buy a car. I also have some cash on hand, so I'd better put it in the bag first! I still have some left to play around with in the market." Zhou Lei was the one in their dorm who lost the most money in the stock market, but he was also the best student among the four of them.
