Chapter 165 - 136: Reward
An Old Item Upgrade Voucher?
This was a reward Lin Shen had never expected.
’You always manage to come up with something new.’
Lin Shen smiled knowingly and tapped it open. A flash of light burst from the screen, and three options suddenly floated into view.
[Bone-Enhancing Calcium Tablets (Enhanced Version)]
[Vision Recovery Eye Patch (Enhanced Version)]
[Please select one, Host.]
"..."
Lin Shen propped his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
’I’m already 182.5 cm, which is just right. Any taller and my proportions would be off.’
’So I’ll pass on the Bone-Enhancing Calcium Tablets.’
’I already have 20/20 vision. How much better could it get?’
’Develop fiery, golden eyes?’
After weighing his options, Lin Shen chose the last item.
As a man of science, Lin Shen instantly understood the description of its effects.
To sum it up in one phrase: an all-around enhancement!
"Good stuff!"
Lin Shen returned to the bathroom, took out the new item he had just obtained, and used it.
The sensation was about the same as before.
"It’s true. Once you have money, the best investment is in your own body."
Lin Shen walked into the bedroom. He had planned to lie down and make his routine nightly call to Qin Yuenan.
But just then, his exclusive consultant from Lizxing, Wang, sent over a list of properties.
[Exclusive Consultant Wang: Hello, President Lin. Please take a look at these listings. Do any of them catch your eye? If not, I can find others.]
’That was fast.’
Lin Shen was a little surprised.
After all, he had only told him his requirements last night, and he already had results in a single business day.
’Not bad!’
Lin Shen was very satisfied with Lizxing’s efficiency. He immediately tapped open the property list Wang had sent.
It listed each property’s location, neighborhood environment, size, and interior design style, and even included a few actual photos.
Lin Shen gave it a quick look and was most interested in a property located in Huangpu Binjiang.
After all, if a balcony was going to have huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the surrounding environment had to be suitable.
And a prime river-view apartment was an excellent choice.
Among them, Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard was a perfect match for Lin Shen’s requirements.
Unit 2102 in Building 8. The floor wasn’t low; from the balcony, you could practically overlook the entire river.
The surrounding area had high-end commercial plazas as well as famous cultural facilities.
The amenities were top-tier, and the location was in the heart of the city.
It had an interior area of 230 square meters, an Italian neoclassical design style with a black-and-white color scheme, and the luxury was maxed out.
A large, 10-meter-wide great room, an open-concept living and dining area that felt incredibly spacious, and a master suite.
On top of that, the entire apartment was equipped with central air conditioning, floor heating, a fresh air system, and a smart home system.
Judging from the pictures alone, Lin Shen was very satisfied. Plus, the price was only thirty million.
That was about 130,000 per square meter.
For such a prime location in Modu, Lin Shen actually found this price to be quite cheap!
So, he examined the property’s description more closely and finally found the reason for its low price.
It turned out it wasn’t a newly-built, move-in ready home, but a second-hand property!
Lin Shen realized.
’In that case, I’ll have to pay around two million in taxes alone.’
’Added to the thirty million, the total would be right at the limit of my Dream Real Estate Card.’
"I’ll go with this one!"
’Viewing it is free anyway. If I don’t like it, I can just pick another one.’
Lin Shen didn’t dawdle. He sent the property he’d chosen directly to his exclusive consultant, Wang.
She replied immediately.
[Exclusive Consultant Wang: Understood, Mr. Lin. Since this apartment is being sold through us by the owner, we need to contact them personally to arrange a viewing for you. I’ll get back to you the moment I have an update. Is that alright?]
[Lin Shen: Okay.]
Just as Lin Shen sent his one-word reply, "Okay," a call came in from Qin Yuenan.
He answered it as usual, only to find it was a video call this time!
On the other end of the call, Qin Yuenan was sitting at her desk at home, working on her laptop. She glanced casually at her phone screen, then froze for two seconds before exclaiming in shock.
"Why aren’t you wearing a shirt?"
"Nan, why would I need to wear a shirt in my own home!"
Lin Shen was speechless for a moment. He then got out of bed with his phone, a playful grin on his face.
"Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before. Why are you so shy?"
"Exhibitionist."
Qin Yuenan chided him quietly, but her gaze, which had been fixed on her computer screen, started darting frequently to her phone. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from Lin Shen’s well-built chest and abs.
Gradually, her heart began to race, and an inexplicable heat surged through her chest.
Qin Yuenan subconsciously squeezed her legs together, then quickly changed the subject.
"So, what did you do today?"
"The usual."
Lin Shen placed his phone on a stand and, as if on purpose, started doing push-ups and sit-ups on the spot. He panted as he exercised, HUFF... PUFF...
"What about you, Nan?"
"Same as always. Working overtime."
Watching Lin Shen’s testosterone-fueled workout on her phone, Qin Yuenan’s gaze became somewhat fixed and unfocused, gradually turning hazy.
She was suddenly reminded of that wonderful night she had spent with Lin Shen in the hotel.
He had been just as full of sexual tension back then, and his panting sounded exactly the same!
Qin Yuenan could even remember what Lin Shen had whispered in her ear at the time.
!?
’What am I thinking?!’
"At the office today..."
Qin Yuenan started talking about the fun or frustrating things that had happened to her throughout the day, trying to distract herself.
But!
Lin Shen kept exercising, and the sounds he was making made it impossible for Qin Yuenan to calm down.
She couldn’t even work anymore.
’He’s doing this on purpose!’
