Chapter 115: The New Halo from Sleep
Today, Wang Yan planned to go for a stroll in Beihai Park.
Imperial Garden, City Center Lake, 4A grade scenic spot, any of these tags was enough to make the tour worthwhile.
He came out early, knowing it would be very hot in the afternoon. Instead of walking, Wang Yan asked the hotel to assign a chauffeur to him.
When he arrived at the park, there were lots of visitors but the air was very fresh.
Summer was Beihai Park’s peak season for tourism. The admission was 20 yuan per person. He bought a pass and strolled into the park through the East Gate.
There were many tour guides at the gate, but they were not interested in Wang Yan, who was a single customer.
Wang Yan was happy and relaxed. He didn’t care about any scenic spots or attractions. He just strolled around without a purpose in his mind.
His hometown was a mining city with poor environment and air quality. Wang Yan had never seen such a good park before. He strolled around with great interest and a relaxed mind.
After he was tired of walking, he sat under a pine tree by the lakeside and chatted on wechat with his old classmates and pretty girls. He also made up a few paragraphs about his recent work and life to feed his parents, making them happy.
Then he got hungry and went to eat in the famous Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop.
The shop wasn’t big, and it was just next to Yong ‘an temple.
There was no table service in the shop in this the scenic spot. Everything was self-help.
Three buns cost six yuan, which was expensive. With each breath he took, Wang Yan could earn four yuan, which wasn’t enough to buy three buns. It was ridiculous.
He ordered three buns with pork and scallion filling and three with dried vegetables, one bowl of small wontons, one serving of custard, one serving of spiced beef tripe, and one serving of preserved egg and tofu. The meal was too simple to be a tycoon’s supper, but it was very delicious. When he finished, his forehead was covered in sweat.
After eating, he left the park. At 7:30 pm, the sky was still bright, but the sun had already set. It was the most comfortable time of the day.
Wang Yan ate a little too much, so he simply continued to walk.
He went out of the park and continued to the east. Everything he saw along the way was interesting.
Without the pressure of making a living, touring aimlessly was the most relaxed thing in the world.
He walked into a completely unfamiliar area and saw thronging crowds everywhere. In comparison, he looked even more free and relaxed.
Spending money extravagantly was not the only way to enjoy the benefits of being rich.
After happily strolling around for more than two hours, Wang Yan stretched his body and felt a little sore in his muscle.
He liked this feeling. When he went back, he would go to the spa and enjoy a major body nurture service. He would feel even better.
When the taxi drove forward, Wang Yan saw a building through the window. His pupils instantly dilated slightly.
Wow, what a handsome facade!
It was a huge metal-style building with an artistic facade.
Mechanical, geometric, metal, industrial, and polygonal blocks stacked upon each other and extended up to create a large entrance.
The layers gave people the visual impression of a collapsed beehive.
The two beams of light that cleverly shone on the three-dimensional geometrical shapes crossed over each other and formed the shapes of two crossed swords on the surface of the building.
Right above the intersection of the beams was a nameplate that was shining brightly in the darkness. It was shaped like a sun and emitted a warm yellow light. There were some characters carved on it, which made people want to come closer and explore.
Cool! Handsome! Trendy!
That clever design made the country bumpkin Wang Yan exclaim in admiration.
Just the design of the gate wall had set up the style of the place. It could only be described in one word: grand!
Wang Yan asked the taxi driver curiously, “Bro, what’s that place?”
The driver turned his head to the building and said, “You mean that building? Mr. Thirteen! A nightclub that has only been open for less than two months! It has many young ladies in there. Every night, we come here to wait for work and often meet big customers!
It was said that once a taxi driver in the capital began to chat, you’d have no way to stop him. It proved to be true.
“Little brother, are you a tourist from another city? If you can afford to stay in Shangri-La, then you should not be short of money. Let me tell you, it’s okay that you don’t go to the bars in Houhai or Sanlitun, but you must go to the nightclubs near the Workers Stadium!
“If you haven’t been there before, it means that you haven’t experienced the nightlife in the capital!
“Young people nowadays, when night falls, will rush over here. There are not so many people here today since it’s Sunday, but it’s very lively if you come here Friday or Saturday!
“But remember not to visit Sanlitun. There are a few dirty streets there. You can’t get out if you go in!
“They’d pulling you in and promise all kinds of things, but if you enter the door and ask for a beer, they’d ask you to pay before you begin to drink. You can’t get out without throwing two or three thousand yuan…”
Listening to the driver’s non-stop talk, Wang Yan felt his vision was greatly broadened. He made up his mind to visit the nightclub he had just seen.
Visiting nightclubs was part of his plans. Previously, he had to watch over Liu Li, so he had been quiet. Now that the young lady was busy, he could have some fun.
He didn’t care about the girls there; he just want to gain some experience.
As a young man who was about to go to university, he was curious about everything. When he didn’t have money, he could only do these things in his imagination. Now that he had money and time, why should he suppress his curiosity?
It was decided!
He went back to the hotel to take a bath and have a massage
When he returned to his suite, he felt as if his body would fall apart, tired but also relaxed.
He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Feeling as if he was floating on the clouds, he slept soundly until dawn.
When he opened his eyes again, Wang Yan felt great. The quality of his sleep was very high.
He rolled on the big bed and opened the system. He was ready to see the updated mall.
Before he saw the item, he suddenly found a notification on the interface.
[You have a good night’s sleep and are in a good mood. You have activated a new status reward.]
[Face value fusion halo: under the influence of this halo, every time a girl with a face value of more than 90 points shouts out “You are so handsome” from the bottom of her heart, your face value will + 1. ]
[You have thus activated a level 2 attribute. ]
[Your current face value is: 74]
[Note 1: each pretty girl can only increase your face value once ]
[Note 4: this status will disappear when you receive a new buff ]
[Note 5: your refreshing buff has disappeared ]
[Note 6: the face value attribute is directly related to the body’s basic attributes, but it’s not completely the same ]
..
F*ck!
The Charm Halo was gone? !
Wang Yan jumped up and rushed into the large bathroom.
After studying his face in the mirror for a while, he finally saw the difference — his eyes were no longer as deep as before, and they lost the light that made him look intense and focused.
How should he put it?
Before the second puberty period, his appearance might only have been around 60 points, but because of the refreshing buff, his eyes looked very special and appealing.
Now, although his overall face value had risen to 74 points with the advancement of the second puberty, his eyes had lost that appeal.
Compared to yesterday, Wang Yan’s aura and eye charm had been weakened, but he had received a new buff that could permanently increase his face value.
Was it a loss or a gain?
Wang Yan thought for a long time and felt that it was a gain.
No matter how strong the buff was, as long as it was temporary, it would definitely not be as valuable as permanently increasing his face value.
He’d never know when he’d wake up and found the buff was replaced.
But his face value was his. Every additional 1 point would result in solid progress in his appearance.
If he could increase it to 90 points, he would become a handsome man. How cool would that be?
Many male bosses might say, “I don’t care if I’m handsome or not, because my ability, mind, and power are more powerful than a pretty face.”
Indeed, they didn’t need to please anyone.
But there was a truth that they didn’t say — beauty could always please themselves.
They claimed they didn’t care because they couldn’t have it; they had gradually conceded to the fact or pretended to not care.
To be honest, who didn’t want to be beautiful?
I’ll be very handsome without trying, and I’ll be 10,000 times more handsome when I’m trying to look good!
Eh?
Wait a minute!
If one day, I can raise my face value to 99 points, then I can raise San Wan’s face value to 99 points, too? !
San Wan was already very pretty, but she was still far from the top-notch beauties. Compared to the Little Princess who had a 96-point face value, San Wan was still no match.
Of course, Wang Yan would not think less of her because of this. It was just that, to be able to make the woman he loved even more beautiful, how fulfilling would that be?
In an instant, Wang Yan forgot his disappointment about his temporary “decline in charm” and started dancing happily.
“Elephant, Elephant, your nose is long ~ ~ ~”
After dancing for a while, he bared his teeth and smiled at the mirror. Then, he opened the mall, and then… His pupils suddenly constricted.
