Chapter 28: Chapter 28: A Car Under One Million
With a chuckle, Li Yuqing lifted her hips slightly and gracefully settled into the nearby bathtub, continuing the conversation:
"Honey, we just picked two video themes. We were going to ask you tomorrow, but since you're free now, how about giving us some direction?"
"Sure, what are the two options?"
"One is a pet-themed channel, and the other is centered around traditional Hanfu. Which do you think we should test first?"
"Start with the Hanfu theme. It's quite popular, and both boys and girls love it," Zeng Shen suggested.
"Then Tongtong and I will go to the Trade Tower tomorrow to pick out outfits and convert our studio's spare room into a Hanfu room. If you're free, you can come and help us record."
"Of course. Oh, by the way, I plan to buy a car tomorrow."
"Great! What kind of car are you thinking?"
"Something big, maybe one that can climb walls. I heard Wuling might have something like that."
"Haha, you're joking, right?"
"Nope, not kidding."
After a bit more chatter, Zeng Shen ended the call and went to sleep.
[Congratulations, host! Your followers have contributed 270 faith points.]
The next morning, Zeng Shen got up, heeding the system's prompt as he washed up. He entered his divine realm, fed the cats again, and left some extra food before exiting. He planned to farm nearby survival points and then pick up Li Yuqing.
Driving through pedestrian and commercial streets, he finally stopped at a park plaza. As he walked to the entrance, he felt like he had forgotten something yesterday.
Seeing Master Ma teaching tai chi to seniors in the park, he suddenly remembered.
"Ah, I forgot to visit Li Zhiyuan's dojo for survival points. That's 1500 points missed!"
Determined to manage his time better, Zeng Shen vowed to maximize his survival point gains daily before nightfall.
With a plan in mind, he strode into the park to find Master Ma for his daily points.
Master Ma was engaged with the seniors, unaware of Zeng Shen approaching. Zeng Shen cheekily high-fived Master Ma, triggering a system warning.
Startled, Master Ma turned to scold, but upon recognizing Zeng Shen, he hesitated.
"Master Ma, let's continue our spar from last time," Zeng Shen suggested.
"Uh, no sparring today, maybe another time." Master Ma quickly excused himself, heading for the park's back exit. "I have matters at the dojo."
[The host has subdued and repelled a Tier 3 Fire Deity, gaining 200 survival points.]
"Ha!"
Laughing at the system's notification, Zeng Shen called after Master Ma, "Please tell Li Zhiyuan I was busy yesterday and couldn't come. I'll visit this afternoon."
Not waiting for a response, Zeng Shen left the park and drove to the pedestrian street for survival points before heading to the Gathering Spirit Office Building to pick up Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong.
[Warning: The host is nearing a Tier 3 Undead Deity.]
Ignoring the prompt, Zeng Shen parked at the Trade Tower.
Soon, Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong, dressed in chic black and white stockings, emerged from the building.
Li Yuqing, exuding a fragrant scent, sat beside him in the passenger seat, while Liu Tongtong took the back.
"Let's buy a car first, then head to the Trade Tower for Hanfu," Li Yuqing suggested.
"Sounds good."
At the city's largest car dealership, Zeng Shen, with the two beautiful women, became the center of attention as they entered.
A sharp-eyed saleswoman, Xiaoya, quickly approached, immediately discerning the decision-maker.
"Hello, sir. I'm Xiaoya, a sales representative here. Have you found a car you like or a price range you're considering?"
"No specific model yet, but something under one million," Zeng Shen replied.
Xiaoya's eyes lit up, intending to guide him to international luxury brands.
After a few steps, Zeng Shen veered towards the Wuling models.
"Sir, this way," Xiaoya corrected.
"Aren't these Wuling cars under one million?" Zeng Shen questioned.
Feeling slightly tricked, Xiaoya's colleague couldn't help but laugh. "Xiaoya, even a fifty-thousand car is under one million."
Seemingly at odds with her colleague, Xiaoya shot her a glare but quickly regained composure, enthusiastically asking, "What Wuling model are you interested in? We have popular models ranging from seventy to two hundred thousand."
Zeng Shen ignored her, scanning the Wuling models, and pointed to a two-million model at the back.
"That one."
Taken aback, Xiaoya confirmed, "Are you sure about this Wuling?"
Li Yuqing, also surprised, asked, "Isn't this a camper van? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, it's cool. It can carry people in the front and back, with plenty of space for sleeping and other activities," Zeng Shen said, whispering to her, "I heard the suspension is great. We should try it out at night."
Understanding his hint, Li Yuqing blushed.
Liu Tongtong coughed, reminding them of her presence.
"Would you like to test it first, sir?" Xiaoya offered.
"No need, I'll take it," Zeng Shen said, ready to pay.
"Alright, sir," Xiaoya replied, thrilled.
In no time, Zeng Shen swiped his card, driving the large Wuling camper away, heading to register it.
Meanwhile, Li Yuqing drove her car with Liu Tongtong to the Trade Tower to shop for Hanfu.
