I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

If someone treats you to a meal of braised pork knuckle rice, would you find that person very charming?

Most people would probably answer no, but the answer from the "spiritual young lady" would be different.

Based on the original owner's memories, Chen Fei quickly remembered that the energetic young woman in front of him was the girl he had met at the billiard hall the day before yesterday.

Chen Fei happened to have a few dollars on him at the time, and in order to show off, he bought two bottles of iced tea for them.

This touched them deeply, and they immediately added each other on WeChat and even performed a dance for them.

If I treat them to a fancy pork knuckle rice, won't my charm skyrocket?

Just as Chen Fei was about to speak, two energetic young women sat down on either side of him, sandwiching him between them.

Shen Shaoting casually draped her arm over Chen Fei's shoulder, the smell of cigarette smoke mixed with perfume wafting over: "Brother Fei, we're brothers now, treating me to a meal isn't too much to ask, is it? I'll get you some people at the billiards hall next time, I guarantee it'll be lively!"

Lin Jingyi chimed in from the side, her voice sticky and sweet: "Yeah, Fei-ge, drinking is fine too. My sister works in marketing at a bar, she can give you free drinks if you sign up for a membership card, you'll definitely look good there~"

The two of them sang in unison, winking at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei swallowed the food in his mouth and waved his hand dismissively: "Go order, eat whatever you want, I'll pay!"

"Wow! Really? Fei-ge, you're so handsome!" Shen Shaoting slapped Lin Jingyi on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other excitedly before practically running to order food.

[Congratulations on accumulating 176 charm points in the eyes of the charming young lady Shen Shaoting. The system rewards you with 1760 yuan.]

[Congratulations on accumulating 176 charm points in the eyes of the charming Lin Jingyi. The system rewards you with 1760 yuan.]

The system notification popped up again, and the amount of the reward surprised Chen Fei.

I was surprised to find that I was so attractive to them, a whole hundred points more than Zhao Zhihao’s 76!

Little did they know that, in their eyes, a handsome man like Chen Fei, who was 1.8 meters tall, was the type of guy who deserved to be courted.

However, Chen Fei's former personality was aloof, ruthless and taciturn, which effectively shut out those potential good intentions.

His generous gesture of treating them to a meal at that moment, in their eyes, was no less charming than Eddie Peng taking the initiative to invite them for a photo, naturally making him more attractive.

Chen Fei, who had just transmigrated, naturally didn't understand these intricacies.

Shen Shaoting had already taken out her phone to take pictures of the roast meats, while Lin Jingyi was taking selfies with her back to the vegetable counter, striking various cute poses.

Looking at them, Chen Fei suddenly thought of his colleagues from his previous life.

Although they have stable jobs, they have never been this relaxed.

Including myself, I feel like I'm half-dead every time I step into the company.

In this light, I think the optimistic spirit of the young woman is something I should learn from.

"Hey, you're so engrossed in watching?"

Zhao Zhihao walked over carrying a bowl of soup with pork bones. He followed Chen Fei's gaze, grinned mischievously, and said, "Spending so much money, which one do you want to date, or both? They're both single, you know."

Chen Fei looked away and continued eating: "I don't want to be in a relationship yet. Being single is so liberating."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhihao didn't say anything. After handing the pork bone to Chen Fei, he picked up a piece of roasted duck skin and put it in his mouth, enjoying it immensely.

"It's only 24 yuan in total, I'll definitely save you money, isn't that a good deal, Fei-ge?" Shen Shaoting's voice suddenly came.

Chen Fei looked up and saw her waving at him, her phone screen still lit up, as if she had just posted on her WeChat Moments.

He got up and walked over.

Lin Jingyi spoke first: "We each ordered the smallest serving of poached chicken, is that okay? If not, we can change it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Fei frown. Startled, she thought she had ordered too much and quickly corrected herself:

"Oh dear, did we order too much? Boss, boss! Let's change it. Just one serving of the 12-yuan poached chicken, and extra rice!"

"No need to change it." Chen Fei was both amused and exasperated by Lin Jingyi's flustered behavior. "I just think you ordered too little. There's not much meat in poached chicken to begin with, so it won't be enough to fill you up."

Of course, what he didn't say in his heart was:

If I order so little, how am I supposed to show off my charm in front of you?

Chen Fei peered through the window and saw that there was only one whole poached chicken left. He said, "Boss, how much for a whole poached chicken?"

Upon hearing this, the owner beamed and took down the poached chicken: "Handsome, this is a Qingyuan chicken, 80 yuan a chicken, and the rice is free."

"Eighty?!" Shen Shaoting gasped, tugging at Lin Jingyi's sleeve. She lowered her voice, unable to hide her excitement, "Jingyi, look! A whole chicken!"

Chen Fei took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and made the payment.

"Rice payment received: 80 yuan".

When the payment notification sound is heard, a system prompt will also follow.

[Congratulations on accumulating 176 charm points in the eyes of the charming young lady Shen Shaoting. The system rewards you with 1760 yuan.]

[Congratulations on accumulating 176 charm points in the eyes of the charming Lin Jingyi. The system rewards you with 1760 yuan.]

The two consecutive payment notifications made Chen Fei feel more at ease.

It seems that this "charm monetization" model is very stable.

He beckoned the two girls back to their seats.

When the owner brought out the whole, glistening chicken, Shen Shaoting exclaimed "Wow!" and took out her phone to snap several photos of the plate.

Chen Fei pushed the poached chicken towards the center: "Don't be shy, eat up."

"Thank you, Brother Fei! Following Brother Fei means you'll get to eat well!" The two girls remained seated next to Chen Fei, happily picking up their chopsticks.

Shen Shaoting tore off a chicken leg with her chopsticks and put it in Chen Fei's bowl: "Brother Fei, you eat first! This leg is the best!"

The other chicken leg was given to Lin Jingyi. He casually picked up a piece of chicken breast, scooped a spoonful of ginger and scallion sauce onto the rice, and began to shovel it in, making smacking noises as he ate.

The four of them sat around a table, and the atmosphere became lively as they enjoyed a hearty meal.

Shen Shaoting, sucking on a chicken bone, asked indistinctly, "Brother Fei, are we going to play billiards later? I know a place where the afternoon sessions are super cheap!"

Lin Jingyi nodded vigorously beside her, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand: "We'll be your practice partners, helping you set up the ball and pass you the cue, and keep you entertained, how about it?"

Upon hearing the invitation, Chen Fei put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously.

Billiard halls are indeed their go-to spot; they're cheap and look classy.

But now he has more important things to do.

He didn't even want to go back to that dark and damp rented room.

Moreover, a good place to live can also help enhance one's charm, so moving is the most urgent thing right now.

"No," Chen Fei shook his head. "I'm planning to go for a walk around the neighborhood later to see if there are any good houses available, so I can prepare to move."

As soon as he finished speaking, a new notification popped up in the system.

[Ding! Changes in host's mindset detected, triggering a new quest "What is Home?"]

[Mission Objective: Please find a residence with a rating of over 80 points and move in within 24 hours.]
