Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Peak Meeting Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Peak Meeting “A BMW 3 Series!?” Tang Song clenched his fists tightly, his face full of joy.

Although he hadn’t received the top reward, it was still a legitimate luxury brand, a luxury model.

He turned on his phone, went online, and searched for “BMW 330i M Sports Night Set”.

The 330i, compared to the regular 3 Series, has a key difference in its longitudinal four-cylinder engine. This power system can unleash up to 245 horsepower and 400 Newton-meters of peak torque.

The official guide price is 381,900 yuan, and the dealer’s price in Yan City is 345,000 yuan for the car alone. Considering insurance, purchase tax, registration, etc., the on-the-road price is nearly 400,000 yuan, a genuine luxury car.

Tang Song stood up from the sofa, walking excitedly back and forth in the living room.

In his social circle, most people’s cars are ordinary A-class cars, ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand yuan.

Those with better family conditions might have B-class cars like Passat or Accord.

A BMW costing nearly 400,000 yuan on the road absolutely counts as having a great deal of prestige.

Then, Tang Song sat in front of the computer, browsing different colors of the BMW 330i.

The most popular colors online are undoubtedly carbon black, mineral white, and skyscraper gray.

He enlarged the pictures to view them; each color looked beautiful.

After some indecision and a few car review videos, Tang Song finally settled on the classic combination of Carbon Black (exterior) + Volcano Red (interior).

Looking at the glamorous ‘Black Knight’ on the monitor, Tang Song felt restless and uneasy.

He was a young man too, and he had no resistance against such handsome big toys.

“Whirrrr—” The window was suddenly pulled open.

Tang Song stood on the east-facing balcony, letting the April evening breeze cool his flushed cheeks.

Less than 20 days after getting the system, his life had already changed dramatically.

Successful weight loss, enhanced lung function, an increase of 1 centimeter in height, a 200-square-meter office in Cloud Stream Building, a 400,000 yuan BMW 330i…

He was utterly proud and content, full of anticipation for the future.

Gazing at the hazy moonlight at the horizon, he opened WeChat, took a photo of the view outside the window, and shared it with his first love who was far away in Shen City.

The message read: “Waiting for time’s blessing, looking forward to success! I hope your entrepreneurial journey goes smoothly, and take care of yourself in Shen City.”

No sooner had he put down the phone than Tang Song picked it up again, calling his mother 150 kilometers away.

“Dudu—”

The phone rang twice and was quickly picked up.

“Hello! You kid, finally remembered to call,” came his mother’s familiar voice from the earpiece. It wasn’t exactly tender, but it was extraordinarily pleasant.

Tang Song chuckled twice, first inquiring about their health, then asking, “By the way, Mom, how’s Dad’s hardware store doing now?”

His mother suddenly lowered her voice and said, “Your dad and I calculated, given the current trend, after deducting bad debts, losses, and rent quality, we have over 6,000 yuan in net income each month!”

“That much?” Tang Song exclaimed.

He had seen the store’s conditions himself; it was small, poorly located, only had four sets of racks, and because of financial constraints, wasn’t heavily stocked.

Making money was already tough, let alone a substantial amount.

“Mainly thanks to your dad’s connections from his previous construction work, several acquaintances often come to buy in bulk. By the way, son, how’s your job lately? Still working overtime every day? Are you tired?”

“I’ve actually had more free time now, every day is quite relaxing. Plus, I’ve lost quite a bit of weight. I’ll send you a photo later.”

“That’s good, that’s good! Health is the most important,” his mother’s voice immediately brightened, then she started chattering about family matters.

Tang Song listened quietly, chiming in from time to time.

When his mother finally paused,

he said cheerfully, “Mom, everything is going well here. Now that work has slowed down, I plan to try my hand at entrepreneurship during my free time, and I already have a promising direction.

Once I make my fortune, you and Dad can just relax and enjoy life.

You know how Uncle always loves to show off, so I’ll give you both…”

Tang Song leaned against the window ledge, gazing at the crescent moon hiding behind the clouds, sharing his beautiful dreams for the future with his mom.

On the other end of the phone, his mother didn’t interrupt, just chuckling happily from time to time.

…

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song’s suppressed excitement and joy were thoroughly released, and his whole body relaxed.

“Dingdong—” The sound of a WeChat notification chimed.

His first love, who was far away in Shen City, finally replied, “April 19, 2023, Wednesday, heavy rain and thunderstorms in Shen City, the air damp and stifling. I’m working overtime in the office, and just happened to think of a certain fool. You also keep it up, take care of your health.”

Her words seemed to flip a switch, causing Tang Song’s eyes to momentarily lose focus.

After some thought, he walked straight to his bedroom, retrieving a modestly sized storage box from under his bed.

After rummaging inside for a while, he pulled out an exquisitely crafted notebook.

He opened it to the first page.

There were a few lines of confident, soaring text.

[For my dearest friend Tang Song:

June 6, 2015, Saturday night, exactly one year until the college entrance examinations

The you now is the one decided by you ten years ago

And the you ten years from now, is decided by the you now

When your talent can’t yet support your ambition

Take a moment to learn quietly, strive heartily

Stars don’t question the hurried travelers, time doesn’t betray the earnest

All unexpected encounters are still on the way, the future will be as you wish

Let’s work hard individually, and meet at the peak!]

It was these words that had spurred him on to make remarkable progress in his studies during his senior year.

They supported him in his continuous effort, learning, and pursuit.

Now, eight years had passed since 2015.

Tang Song gently closed the notebook and returned it to its original place.

He opened WeChat and earnestly replied, “Let’s each keep up the good work!”

…

April 20, 2023, Thursday.

At 8:30 AM, Tang Song put down the book “Cognitive Nature” he was reading and called the Yan City Baode BMW 4S Store.

Perhaps because it was just the start of the day, the phone rang for a while before being answered.

“Hello, Baode BMW 4S Store, how may I assist you?” a brisk female voice spoke, her speech rapid.

Tang Song carefully chose his words, “Hello, I reserved a BMW 330i and would like to know more about the car’s details.”

“Alright, sir, could you please provide your name, mobile number, and ID number?”

Tang Song clearly recited his information.

“One moment, I am looking it up for you.”

After a little while, the customer service representative replied enthusiastically, “Mr. Tang, I found it. You ordered a [BMW 3 Series 2023, 330i M Sports Night Set] through our Desheng Automobile Trading Corporation channel last night, with a total price… 360,000 yuan, including registration, insurance, purchase tax, and optional extras.”

By the end, her voice slowed somewhat.

This price, she had never seen before; including those optional extras, essentially meant selling the car at a loss!

Hearing the precise information, Tang Song took a long breath, “Hello, I’d like to confirm the colors of the car’s interior and exterior.”

“Go ahead, I’ll note it down!” she replied with even more enthusiasm.

“The exterior is carbon black, and the interior is volcanic red.”

“Got it, Mr. Tang, you truly have great taste, this color combination is stunning on both men and women.”

“When can I roughly collect the car?” Tang Song asked, raising the question he cared about most.

According to the information he had found online, the BMW 330i generally took over two months from reservation to collection.

The customer service quickly replied, “Just a moment, I will contact the manager to confirm the collection date! I’ll call you back later, please be ready to answer.”

“Thank you.”
