Chapter 80 [Indulging in Spending Cards]

Hema Fresh, B1 floor of Huiyang Plaza.

After parking the car, Lin Shen led Lin Ping into the store.

In the past, when he came to places like this, he would just buy some bento boxes or self-heating food and treat it like a convenience store.

After all, while Hema Fresh's produce is fresh, it's a bit pricey.

For office workers like Lin Shen, there are cheaper options like farmers' markets.

But now, he can spend money without restraint, without even looking at the price.

Spare ribs, fresh shrimp, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Lin Shen would put anything he liked into Lin Ping's shopping basket, but she would politely decline.

"It seems you don't buy groceries often, boss."

Lin Ping smiled gently and began to teach Lin Shen how to select the freshest fruits and vegetables by their appearance and feel.

These tips for grocery shopping fully demonstrate her unique charm as a young married woman.

In particular, she would lean forward when picking out vegetables, outlining the curves of her full hips.

This made Lin Shen's mind stir slightly.

No wonder some people like married women; they really have a certain charm!
Although no longer young, her appearance has gained a maturity and charm that a young girl never possessed.

"These dishes should be enough."

Lin Ping checked the shopping basket and then asked Lin Shen for his opinion again.

"Is it okay to stew pork ribs, make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steam some shrimp, and then make radish soup?"

"Ah."

Perhaps it's because of his fitness routine, but Lin Shen always feels that the food he cooks at home is cleaner than any restaurant meal.

However, he was too lazy to learn how to cook, so he had to ask the experienced Lin Ping to act as the chef.

"Let's go."

After buying the groceries, Lin Shen offered to pay, which made Lin Ping feel particularly embarrassed.

"I'll pay."

"You cook for me, and you're expected to pay for it?"

Lin Shen chuckled and teased, then pulled out a QR code to pay without saying a word, which made Lin Ping feel a strong sense of domineering aura from him.

However, she did not dislike this assertive personality; on the contrary, she characterized it as a special kind of "gentleness."

Of course, Lin Ping dared not have any special expectations for Lin Shen, because she was well aware of the huge gap in their social status.

On one side is a young, wealthy second-generation heir, and on the other is a divorced middle-aged woman with a child.

Lin Ping knew her own limitations very well, so she didn't dare to be too extravagant.

The only thing she can do now is to cook a delicious meal for Lin Shen to repay his kindness.

The two left Hema Fresh and drove into the residential area where Lin Ping lived, following her directions.

Happiness Lane.

Although the name sounds warm and inviting, the layout and landscaping of the community don't quite live up to its name.

Gray and dilapidated.

The alleyway was crowded with electric bikes, and the apartment doors were plastered with advertisements.

All of this indicates that Xingfuli belongs to the kind of "old, dilapidated, and small" residential area that is often talked about online.

This made Lin Ping feel a little embarrassed, and she quickly apologized to Lin Shen.

"I'm sorry, boss, the environment in our neighborhood isn't very good; it's a bit dirty."

"fine."

Lin Shen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind.

“It must be tough for you as a single mother raising a child. The rent here should be cheap, which will save you on daily expenses.”

Thank you for your understanding.

Lin Shen's thoughtfulness once again made Lin Ping feel his gentle nature, and a strong sense of warmth gradually enveloped her heart.

Such a kind and compassionate rich kid who understands the plight of ordinary people is rare these days, isn't he?

Because the Jaguar XFL is very long, Lin Shen drove around the neighborhood for a while but couldn't find a suitable parking space.

Left with no other option, he parked his car in front of the bank outside the residential area and followed Lin Ping into the complex on foot.

Unit 3, Building 5.

Passing through the rusty iron gate, Lin Ping's home is on the first floor.

After she opened the door and went inside, Lin Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.

Compared to the dilapidated state of the outside world, her home was incredibly cozy.

The small space has no unnecessary furniture, the overall layout is simple and rustic, the color scheme is warm, and the environment is exceptionally clean and tidy.

There were even a few potted plants on the balcony, which shimmered warmly in the sunlight.

To be honest, Lin Shen really liked this kind of environment full of life.

With your eyes closed, take a gentle sniff, and the air will be filled with the fresh scent of sunshine.

"Boss, please have a seat."

Lin Ping asked Lin Shen to sit on the sofa, while she put on an apron and went into the kitchen. She first poured him a glass of warm water and then brought him a bag of biscuits.

"Because the ribs need to be stewed for a long time, you can have some snacks first if you are hungry."

"it is good."

Lin Shen sat on the soft sofa, a faint sense of happiness spreading through his heart.

He then crossed his legs, took out his phone, and started scratching the lottery tickets he had just won that morning.

Congratulations on winning the grand prize, 68888!

what?
Even the usually composed Lin Shen was taken aback when he saw the amount.

He vaguely remembered that the grand prize for the scratch-off lottery reward for completing the "Low Morality" task should have been 18888.

As a result, after it was updated to version 2.0, even the base reward was increased?
sure!
「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于08月13日11:32收入RMB 68，888元，当前余额：825，000」    终于完成80万的攒钱任务了！
Upon seeing the bank text message, Lin Shen was incredibly excited and immediately clicked on the Alipay app, which had a red dot.

[Upgrade Task: Total assets exceed 80 yuan (Completed).]

[Reward: Payment Assistant lv.6→lv.7]

[10000/day → 10700/day]

[Reward Item: Indulgent Spending Card *1 (Use the 80 credit limit to spend as you please; the system will give you a rebate based on your level of enjoyment)]

[Upgrade Requirement: Total assets exceed 160 million yuan (82.5 yuan / 160 million yuan)]

After obtaining the Image Change Card and the Dream Ride Card, Lin Shen finally acquired his third card-type item.

This allowed him to thoroughly understand the reward patterns of Shoukuanbao.

APP hacking cards and various item cards are issued once every level, and the amount of the item card is consistent with the current task completion goal.

In other words, you will definitely get the APP hacking card after completing the next task!
"What could it be?"

Lin Shen is now looking forward to what the next cracked version of the app will be.

But now he faces the challenge of how to better "indulge"!
An 80 yuan limit isn't a small amount, but it's not a huge amount either.

After all, this is Shanghai, a luxurious and extravagant metropolis.

80 yuan wouldn't even last an hour in some shopping malls.

After careful consideration, Lin Shen decided to use the credit limit to improve his own image.

First, I need to buy a few more outfits and shoes, otherwise it would be too monotonous to always wear LV when I go out.

Secondly, you need to buy a watch, which is a symbol of a man's noble status. You'll need it for business negotiations and other matters.

Finally, there are bespoke suits!
As an essential "battle armor" for men on important occasions, a well-fitting suit can greatly boost confidence and establish an excellent personal image.

After having a general plan, Lin Shen took out a memo and jotted it down.

Clothes cost 20, watch cost 40, and custom-made suit cost 10.

"We're still short 100,000."

Although it was called indulgence, Lin Shen couldn't think of any other desires he had that required money to satisfy.

How about we buy Nan a gift?

Lin Shen opened WeChat and found that Qin Yuennan hadn't sent him any messages all morning.

Usually at times like this, she would ask a greeting like, "What did you have for lunch?"

It's already past midnight and it still hasn't been posted. Is it because they're busy with work?

Or perhaps you're embarrassed because of what happened last night?
Recalling that enchanting scene, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel a surge of passion within him.

At this moment, Lin Ping, who had been busy in the kitchen, brought out the prepared dishes one by one.

First came a large pot of stewed potatoes and pork ribs. The aroma of the tender meat wafted over, making Lin Shen squint and take a deep breath, which greatly stimulated his appetite.

"smell good!"

"Boss, if you're hungry, please eat first."

Lin Ping served Lin Shen a bowl of rice, and he eagerly devoured it.

"Then I won't be polite."

It must be admitted that Lin Ping's cooking skills are much better than Gu Wanqing's.

The young cook simply copied the cooking steps from the internet, and although the dishes looked good, they didn't taste quite right.

Lin Ping, on the other hand, is skilled through practice. She has her own little tricks and insights for making any dish, and her tastes appeal to the general public.

Although it doesn't look very appealing, it tastes absolutely amazing!
"Not bad!"

After taking a bite of Lin Ping's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Lin Shen knew that she must cook at home often.

The simpler the dish, the more it reveals a person's true culinary skill.

This beautiful young woman truly lives up to her name; she's the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother!
"I'm glad you like it."

Faced with Lin Shen's praise, Lin Ping smiled slightly, peeled shrimp for him, and served him a bowl of radish soup.

Three dishes and a soup, an absolutely sumptuous meal.

Lin Ping rarely cooks this many dishes; she only does it to supplement Nuonuo's nutrition on weekends.

But thanks to Lin Shen, she was no longer able to worry about daily expenses.

This made her gaze towards Lin Shen even more alluring and captivating, and she murmured unconsciously.

"Boss, I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you for doing so much for me, thank you!"

"You're saying too much."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"If you really want to thank me, just help me look after the shop."

"That's for sure!"

Lin Ping nodded solemnly. Seeing a few grains of rice stuck to the corner of Lin Shen's mouth, she took the initiative to wipe them away with her thumb and subconsciously put them in her mouth to chew.

A moment later, she suddenly realized how outrageous her behavior was. Under Lin Shen's astonished gaze, her face flushed red, and she covered her face with her hands, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Um... I'm used to doing this for Nuonuo."

"fine."

Lin Shen smiled slightly and handed the empty bowl to Lin Ping.

"Please serve me another bowl."

"it is good."

Lin Ping hurriedly fled the restaurant with the empty bowl in her hand. After arriving in the kitchen, her heart pounded wildly and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lin Shen's gentle smiling face remained etched in her mind; she could never forget it.

Could it be that I...

Lin Ping clutched the apron tightly to her chest, biting her lip, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as well as a strange feeling that she herself was unaware of.
