I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 63 A whim
After sending Tian Jingyi to the classroom, Chen Yan officially began his plan—to buy a piano.

In fact, the idea of ​​buying a piano came purely from a sudden whim last night; I just had this idea all of a sudden.

then……

Now that you have the idea and the money isn't a problem, why not take action?

After getting on the bus, Chen Yan quickly searched for nearby piano stores and prices of various piano models on his phone...

According to his current plans, he intends to buy a piano worth around 500,000 yuan. Pianos in this price range are generally of decent quality, and at the same time, it won't affect his savings too much, so that he won't feel so bad about buying it that he can't sleep at night.

only……

Before the search engine results appeared, his brain first heard the system notification.

[Task Name: Piano Selection]

[Task Introduction: As a male god, and also a male god who is skilled at playing the piano, how can he not have a piano that matches his status? To help the host make a better choice, the host will receive a reimbursement of 50% to 500% of the amount spent on purchasing this piano.]

[Task Rewards: Reimbursement of monetary amount (random multiplier), skill (level affected by piano price)]

[Evaluation: Although there is reimbursement, please do not choose a piano that exceeds your spending level. Otherwise, if you only receive the minimum 50% reimbursement, you may find yourself heavily in debt.]

As the system notification sounded, Chen Yan's face instantly lit up with joy. If he hadn't managed his expression so well, his mouth would probably have stretched all the way to his ears.

'System, you're the best system I can be.' Chen Yan felt apologetic for the "useless system" he had called it a few days ago, and then quickly changed his target.

Despite the generous reimbursement, Chen Yan didn't set the budget too high, only increasing it from the original 500,000 to around 3 million.

Generally speaking, three million is the upper limit for the price of a regular piano. Pianos that exceed this price are basically either limited editions or custom-made.

Limited editions were too difficult to purchase, so Chen Yan immediately ruled them out. As for personalized customization...

A customization period of six months to two years or more would be enough to make Chen Yan give up on this option.

Since the budget has increased, Chen Yan's brand selection has also changed... At this price, who cares about the brand? He'll just choose from Bechstein and Steinway.

After a brief search, Chen Yan finally settled on a Steinway store located 25 kilometers away, based on the distance.

With the navigation on, the parking lot parked, and the accelerator pressed, the car steadily drove towards its destination.

……

Thirty minutes later.

Hangzhou City Building, 2nd floor of Block D.

【A salesperson who looks down on others】【A rich guy who makes sarcastic remarks and then gets slapped in the face】【A female protagonist who is shocked by the male protagonist's extravagant spending】These three tropes often appear in novels. Even the salesperson Chen Yan encountered was not a woman.

Standing before him was a man in his thirties, with a refined demeanor, dressed in a dark blue suit… Judging solely from his appearance, Chen Yan would never have associated him with sales…

Even if you say he plays the piano, it's more convincing than saying he sells pianos...

"Hello sir, what kind of piano would you like to buy?"

"Well, my budget is around three million. Do you have any recommendations?" Chen Yan didn't hesitate and directly stated his price range.

Upon hearing the figure of three million, Zhuang Yang was taken aback. He then quickly looked the other party over to make sure they weren't joking before saying seriously, "At this price, it's usually for custom orders. If you want it to be available now, I would recommend the D274 model."

After saying that, Zhuang Yang led Chen Yan towards the area where the D274 was located. The Steinway D274 piano, with its excellent and stable performance, is frequently seen in large-scale concerts and is known as the pinnacle of concert grand pianos, even having the nickname of the "Emperor of Concerts".

Even though it has been around for over a hundred years, it remains a standard feature of top-tier concert halls.

On the way here, Chen Yan was also inclined to buy this piano, and now that Zhuang Yang said so, it was exactly what he wanted to hear.

Soon, Zhuang Yang led Chen Yan to a pure black Steinway D274.

The instrument has a slender and elegant body, covered in matte black lacquer, giving it a low-key and understated sense of composure from afar.

Lifting the lid reveals eighty-eight keys that appear as if ivory and ebony are intertwined. The white keys are warm and smooth like snow, while the black keys are deep and dark like ink. The moment your fingertips touch them, you can feel the coolness and delicacy of the wood.

"The Steinway D274 is a favorite among many pianists, and it has strong appreciation potential. According to the current five-year report, it has appreciated by more than 2% every year."

Just as Zhuang Yang finished speaking and was about to pause and continue praising, Chen Yan suddenly interrupted him.

"May I try it?"

"Yes, you can try it first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan's fingers swept quickly across the piano keys, and less than ten seconds later his hands left the keys.

He had no intention of showing off his skills; he simply wanted to test the quality of the instrument. Although it received high praise online, once he bought it, he would definitely want to try it out himself.

After confirming that the pitch was accurate and the tone was smooth, Chen Yan looked at the "black behemoth" and nodded in satisfaction.

He was quite satisfied with both the tone and the appearance, so satisfied that he couldn't find any fault with it.

"Let's choose this one, this one."

After confirming that there were no problems, Chen Yan had no intention of delaying any longer; buying directly would save everyone time and effort.

Upon hearing Chen Yan confirm his intention to buy, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhuang Yang's eyes, as this deal had come far too easily.

She immediately started looking at pianos in the million-dollar range, and confirmed her purchase less than ten minutes after looking at them. She's practically the perfect customer.

Often, he would spend most of his time talking, only to have people leave after he finished, leaving him with a dry mouth and no results.

"This is a display piano, not for sale. However, we happen to have three in stock. If you buy it now, we can deliver it to your residence tonight."

"Okay, where do I pay?" Chen Yan nodded, ready to swipe his card and leave.

"This way, please come with me for a moment."

……

When paying, Chen Yanshun also bought the "silent system" and "ivory white keys" at the same time.

Having already bought a piano worth over two million, they don't care about the extra two hundred thousand in accessories...

The moment I swiped my card to pay, my phone displayed the payment notification, and the system notification sounded.

I wonder how many times I'll be reimbursed, and it would be best if the skills they give me are also practical.

Chen Yan let out a soft breath and silently prayed in his heart.
