At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, we should plan some entertainment this afternoon, right?" Zheng Hao leaned back in his chair, picking his teeth as he suggested, "Brother Xiao, Fatty, how about we go somewhere else? Let's go straight to my Golden Diamond KTV. I'll have Manager Wang bring the batch that just arrived yesterday..."

"Stop! Go by yourself, don't drag me along." Zhou Yanhuai waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his round head like a rattle drum, cutting Zheng Hao off without any mercy.

Zheng Hao was taken aback for a moment. "Wait, Fatty, this is such a big celebration for us brothers, aren't we going to relax a bit?"

"Relax my ass! Do you think I'm going to die?" Zhou Yanhuai glared at him angrily, pointing to his own nose. "You expect me to follow you to a den of iniquity like Jinzuan in broad daylight? If some malicious person takes some pictures and posts them online, or sends an anonymous letter, not only will I lose my 5% stake, but you two will be serving me jail food by this time next year!"

Although his words were exaggerated, the logic was sound. Places like Golden Diamond KTV were a melting pot of all sorts of people, and for Zhou Yanhuai, whose status was special, it was a dangerous, high-voltage line that meant certain death if he got involved.

"Fatty's right, you better wake up." Li Xiao wiped his hands with a hot towel and took the opportunity to give Zheng Hao a warning. "From today onwards, we're doing legitimate business. I don't care what you do in private, but whenever our team is involved, especially when Fatty's around, all those frivolous parties are off the table. Don't ruin our business for a little fun."

"Alright, alright, I see now. Turns out I'm the only ordinary person here." Zheng Hao awkwardly rubbed his nose, not really angry. "So, what are we doing this afternoon?"

"Get to work." Li Xiao stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Go to the building materials market and find Uncle Zheng to study the land boundary map. Fatty, go back and think about the company's compliance structure. I need to go home and practice my driving test questions."

"Practice questions? No, Brother Xiao, is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss over just the theory test? Just tell me, I'll go to the vehicle management office and make a call, it'll be fine."

"Don't you dare! My husband specifically told me not to ask anyone for help with this. Getting a driver's license requires real ability. It's about being responsible to pedestrians and to myself. These are basic rules that I must follow."

Before Zheng Hao could react, Zhou Yanhuai nodded first, a hint of approval on his round face, and continued the conversation.

"Rat, do you think Uncle Li specifically gave this instruction? What can't the Li family get done in Jiangyang County? Why bother with something as trivial as a driver's license? This isn't about the license test at all; Uncle Li is watching his son to see if he can uphold his principles. If you go to the vehicle management office to put in a good word for Xiao Ge today, and it gets back to Uncle Li, do you think he'll dare entrust Xiao Ge with anything more important next time?"

Zheng Hao was speechless after hearing this. He scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "I... I really didn't think of it that way. I just felt that it wasn't worth putting in so much effort for a theory test."

"From now on, you'll stay by my and Fatty's side. Think things through more deeply. There will be plenty of times when you'll need to use your brain over that piece of land in the south of the city."

The three of them walked to the entrance of Guilan, where Old Zhang's black Maybach with consecutive license plates had been waiting for a long time.

Zhou Yanhuai and Zheng Hao each called a car and left, while Li Xiao opened the car door, bent down and sat in the spacious back seat.

"Young Master, shall we go straight home?" Old Zhang glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Okay, let's go back." Li Xiao leaned back in the leather seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Actually, taking the driving test was just an excuse he used to get rid of those two people. With the [Photographic Memory] skill rewarded by the system, those two thousand-plus questions had long been engraved in his mind like a high-definition stamp.

Let alone getting a passing score of 90, even if he went to the exam room with his eyes closed right now, he could easily get a perfect score.

Li Xiao leaned back in his leather seat, his eyes closed, but his mind was racing with something else. Although he hadn't been deliberately accumulating the happiness points the system had given him, he now had over three hundred. He hadn't really browsed the system's shop yet.

"System, open the store panel," Li Xiao silently said to himself.

With a slight thought, the pale blue, semi-transparent light screen that only he could see reappeared in front of his retina.

In the upper right corner of the interface, his current assets are clearly displayed: [Happiness Points: 350 points].

Clicking the shop icon unfolds a screen that is divided into four categories: [Skills Zone], [Physical Enhancement], [Special Items], and [Real-World Assets].

Driven by a man's innate desire for wealth and power, his first reaction was to click on [Real Assets].

He only glanced at it before he gasped in shock.

[15% absolute controlling stake in a multinational pharmaceutical group], Price: 800 million Happiness Points.

[Landmark commercial complex in the heart of Manhattan, New York (five adjacent luxury office buildings) freehold], Price: 1350 million Happiness Points.

[100% ownership of a top international private armed security group (equipped with global covert routes and three overseas military bases)], Price: 1850 million Happiness Points.

[Complete set of core technology blueprints and fully automated production line for next-generation 1-nanometer lithography machine], Price: 3500 million Happiness Points.

……

Li Xiao looked at the various products on the screen and couldn't help but gasp.

Goodness, the sourcing channels for this system's store are really something else! They can openly price and freely exchange even Middle Eastern oil fields, private warlords, and top-of-the-line lithography machines?

Despite his inner grumbling, Li Xiao didn't completely give up.

He quickly swiped his fingertips across the semi-transparent screen, dragging the long product list to the very bottom.

Sure enough, just like all pay-to-win mobile games leave some options for newbies, there are quite a few cheap items at the very bottom of this shop list that he can afford right now.

Patek Philippe 5002P Star Moon Tourbillon Watch (with complete legal purchase records and certificates) , Price: 150 Happiness Points.

[1000 million RMB in cash from a legitimate source (automatically deposited into the host's account, tax already paid)], Price: 100 Happiness Points.

[A riverside luxury apartment in the core business district of Tianshui City (600 square meters, fully furnished)], Price: 250 Happiness Points.

[Limited Edition Ferrari LaFerrari (with a unique global serial number and custom paint)], Price: 300 Happiness Points.

His gaze swept back and forth between the Patek Philippe and the millions in cash twice, before finally settling on the cash section.

The watch is a good watch, but right now he only has a small amount of liquid cash left in his bank account. The ten million he invested in the Chengnan project is an investment, and he won't see any returns in the short term.

Although his father could transfer funds at any time, since he had said this deal wouldn't go through the Li family's public accounts, he didn't want to ask for anything over such a small matter. One million happiness points for ten million in cash—it was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.

"Confirm redemption".

A notification popped up on the screen, instantly deducting 100 happiness points, leaving a balance of 250.

Immediately afterward, my phone vibrated, and a bank message popped up on the screen. My account number ending in 6688 had received a remittance in the name of dividends from an overseas investment company. The amount was ten million, and the remarks column said "tax paid".

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow. This system was indeed meticulous in its work, having thought of every step for him.
