?
Four hundred thousand?
’Did I see that right?’
Lin Shen subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After rereading the text ssage in disbelief, he slowly recovered from his shock and accepted the reality before him.
A brief mont of stupefaction was followed by an irrepressible wave of excitent and joy, making him want to throw his arms in the air and cheer.
"Nice!"
Lin Shen knew he would get a rebate, but he never expected it to be this much!
Four hundred thousand!
’This is enough to complete the next stage of the ReceivePal mission directly!’
Lin Shen quickly tapped it open. Sure enough, the Red Point indicating a completed mission had already appeared.
[ReceivePal:]
[Upgrade Mission: Total assets exceed 400,000 yuan (Completed).]
[Reward: ReceivePal Lv. 5 → Lv. 6]
[4,500/day → 5,000/day]
[Reward Item: Basic Random Cracking Card x1]
[Upgrade Mission: Total assets exceed 800,000 yuan (420,000/800,000)]
Lin Shen didn’t hesitate for long. He imdiately used the [Basic Random Cracking Card] he had just obtained.
Instantly, his phone’s screen automatically jumped to the cara app and began downloading a cracked version of it on the side.
[Cara and Album Lv. 1]
[Decryption Effect: Photography skill increased by 20% (improves based on the "Cara’s" level).]
[Upgrade Mission: Please purchase a cara and begin your photography career.]
[Congratulations on successfully activating a cracked app (4/20)! The Decryption Effect of "ReceivePal" has been doubled!]
[Current Main Quest Progress: 20%]
[ReceivePal Decryption Effect: 5,000/day → 10,000/day]
’Cara and Album?’
When Lin Shen had daydread about this before, he had actually considered this very cracked app.
After all, photography and travel went well together. While sightseeing and enjoying the beautiful scenery, he could also earn industrial funds through [GoGo Maps].
’Killing two birds with one stone!’
Lin Shen’s heart began to race with excitent again.
His current daily inco had skyrocketed to a terrifying ten thousand. He could afford to cultivate so expensive hobbies now.
’I’ll look into what kind of cara to buy when I get back.’
Lin Shen closed the [Cara and Album] app and noticed he had received many ssages on WeChat.
Most of them were from the sa person.
——
11:30 AM
[Gu Wanqing: Lin Shen, I’m on the bus!]
[Gu Wanqing: Cute-peace-sign-selfie.jpg]
12:00 PM
[Gu Wanqing: I saw the guy who was with my sister. He’s not as handso as you, not as tall as you, and just worse than you in every way.]
1:21 PM
[Gu Wanqing: It’s so boring on the bus~ What are you up to, Lin Shen?]
1:45 PM
[Gu Wanqing: I’m going to take a nap. I’ll ssage you when I get to the station. Good afternoon~]
——
Ever since he quit his job, Lin Shen rarely opened WeChat or received private ssages.
Gu Wanqing’s stream of ssages left him in a bit of a daze, as if he were once again experiencing the sweetness of a new relationship.
’This girl is pretty clingy.’
Lin Shen sent Gu Wanqing a "Good afternoon" voice ssage and then checked the rest of his WeChat ssages.
One of them was from his university group chat.
[Zhao Ye: Bros! Don’t forget the monthly get-together this weekend. Whose turn is it to treat?]
[Guo Haoran: Lin Shen’s, right? @Lin Shen]
[Qi Junxian: This kid hasn’t said anything in the group lately. You think he’s been secretly making a fortune behind our backs?]
Seeing that the ssages were just sent this afternoon, Lin Shen quickly typed a reply.
[Lin Shen: What do you guys want to eat?]
[Zhao Ye: Barbecue, of course! Sumr’s no fun without booze. We’re not going ho until we’re drunk this ti!]
[Guo Haoran: Barbecue it is, then.]
[Qi Junxian: 1]
[Lin Shen: Okay, I’ll find a place and post it in the group later.]
Lin Shen smiled knowingly.
He was pretty lucky to have t a group of like-minded roommates in college.
After graduation, they all ca to Modu to make a living, looking out for each other. They had a standing agreent to get together for a al once a month, taking turns to pay.
Friendships between guys don’t need constant chatting to be maintained. Even if they don’t talk for months, their bond remains as strong as ever.
It’s like a ga save file; you just need to load it up next ti.
If a bro hits you up every day just to "save the ga," now *that* would be a big problem!
Lin Shen took a taxi ho, searching for barbecue restaurants with high overall ratings on food review apps and Xiaohongshu along the way.
[Lin Shen: [Location Shared]]
[Lin Shen: How about this place on Shouning Road? We can get so crayfish, too.]
[Zhao Ye: What a boss!]
[Guo Haoran: What a boss!]
[Qi Junxian: What a boss!]
After receiving his roommates’ unanimous praise, the corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curled up slightly, a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
’I wonder how they’ve been doing lately.’
’Probably better than , since I just went through a breakup, right?’
*
「5:00 PM.」
After returning ho, Lin Shen packed his gym clothes, preparing to head to the company.
He had slacked off on his workouts for a few days because he had been busy taking Gu Wanqing all over Modu.
Now that he had free ti, and since Qin Yuenan had also been urging him, he decided to drop by.
Lin Shen picked up his bag and took the subway, the scenery along the way all familiar to him.
Except this ti he wasn’t going to work, so his mood was much more relaxed than usual.
After this period of indulgent testing, Lin Shen discovered there was indeed so truth to the "No Regression" feature in the cracked [Sports Health] app.
Not only did his weight show no signs of rebounding, but even his chest and abdominal muscles maintained their clear definition.
This was a huge, pleasant surprise for Lin Shen.
For anyone into fitness, controlling one’s diet is the top priority and also the most difficult form of self-discipline.
But Lin Shen didn’t have this concern now; he could eat whatever he wanted.
It was all about being carefree and following his heart!
Lin Shen exited the subway station and headed straight for Huamao Mansion.
Swiping his card and entering the company with a different status felt completely different too.
Gone was the confusion and anxiety of his old work days, replaced by a spirited and confident air.
"Shen?"
Just as he stepped into the elevator, as luck would have it, Lin Shen bumped into his forr colleague, Xu Lei.
She hadn’t changed much, though her expression seed a bit more haggard.
"What are you doing back here? Didn’t you quit?"
"Just ca back to visit."
Lin Shen smiled and changed the subject.
"How’s work been lately?"
"It’s been... okay."
As soon as work was ntioned, Xu Lei sighed.
"After you left, our team lead gets chewed out by President Qin every day. Then she cos back and chews us out. It’s like she’s going through nopause."
"Why?"
"Her work’s not up to par."
Xu Lei complained in a low voice.
"Before, it was always you, Shen, doing all the work. The team lead just knew how to randomly assign tasks to you."
"Now that you, the main pillar of the team, are gone, the whole group is a complete ss. We’re all being worked to death."
"You’ve actually worked very hard too."
Lin Shen said with a calm expression, but inwardly he felt a trace of smug satisfaction.
’Nan is aweso!’
"By the way, Shen, how did you get in?"
Xu Lei couldn’t help but ask curiously.
"I thought non-Pet Guardian Ho employees couldn’t get into the company?"
"Maybe my access hasn’t expired yet."
Lin Shen made up a random excuse to fob her off, then said goodbye to Xu Lei and headed straight for the fourth-floor gym.
There were quite a few more people than usual today; there was even a line for the squat rack.
Lin Shen spotted Qin Yuenan running on a treadmill with a single glance. After all, her sexy and beautiful figure was simply too eye-catching.
So much so that soone actually dared to approach this cold and proud queen and brave her thorny aura.
"Hello, beautiful."
A man in his thirties with a gentle and refined appearance walked up beside Qin Yuenan and smiled.
"This treadmill next to you isn’t taken, is it?"
