Today was different.  

He adjusted the cuff of his luxurious suit, the fabric shimmering subtly under the sunlight. Every step he took radiated confidence, each stride filled with purpose. Students passing by immediately noticed.  

"Who's that?"  

"Wait… is that Zhao Feng?"  

"No way. The same guy who got rejected by Bai Xinyue?"  

Zhao Feng didn't bother responding. The attention that once made him shrink now only fueled his satisfaction. Every glance, every hushed whisper—it was proof of his transformation.  

Ding!

The system's notification flashed in his mind.  

[Daily Charisma Bonus Activated: +10 Charisma]

[Admiration Points Gained: 30]

"Admiration Points?" Zhao Feng whispered under his breath. But before he could explore further, the inevitable happened.  

"Zhao Feng!"  

A mocking voice echoed across the courtyard. Luo Shao, Bai Xinyue's boyfriend, strutted toward him. Dressed in designer streetwear, the heir to the Luo family exuded the typical arrogance of a second-generation rich kid. A crowd quickly gathered, hungry for drama.  

"Well, well," Luo Shao sneered. "The campus simp finally upgraded from his second-hand rags. Did you rob a store or something?"  

Laughter erupted from the onlookers. Zhao Feng remained calm.  

"Good morning, Luo Shao," Zhao Feng greeted, his voice low and steady. The hint of a smirk tugged at his lips. "It's funny. For someone so obsessed with proving his worth, you sure spend a lot of time worrying about me."  

Luo Shao's grin faltered. "What did you just say?"  

Zhao Feng stepped closer, his polished shoes gleaming. "Or is it that you feel threatened? After all, money can't buy confidence."  

The murmurs grew louder. Luo Shao's jaw clenched. "You think a fancy suit changes anything? You're still nothing compared to me!"  

Ding!

[System Mission Activated: Humiliate the Arrogant Young Master]

[Reward: 1 Million Simp Coins, +50 Charisma, +30 Confidence]

Zhao Feng smiled. The system had handed him the perfect opportunity.  

"Is that so?" Zhao Feng's voice remained composed. "How about a little bet, Luo Shao? Right here, right now."  

The crowd leaned in, eager to see what was coming next.  

"Name your terms," Luo Shao scoffed.  

Zhao Feng's smile sharpened. "Simple. Since you're always boasting about your wealth, let's see who can spend more in the next five minutes. No limits. No rules."  

Gasps filled the air. Luo Shao's eyes narrowed. "You think you can outspend me? Fine. But don't come crying when you're bankrupt."  

[Mission Confirmed. Timer Set: 5 Minutes.]

"Let's begin," Zhao Feng declared, his phone glowing with the system's interface.  

[Initiating Spend Mode.]

- Purchase 1: Limited Edition Rolex – 1.2 Million Simp Coins

- Purchase 2: Custom Lamborghini – 15 Million Simp Coins

- Purchase 3: VIP Penthouse in the City Center – 120 Million Simp Coins

Within seconds, Luo Shao's face twisted in disbelief as the numbers climbed on Zhao Feng's screen. The crowd erupted in shock.  

"You're lying!" Luo Shao barked. "That's impossible!"  

Ding!

[Total Spent: 136.2 Million Simp Coins]  

[Rewards Gained: +500 Charisma, +300 Confidence, +150 Influence]

Zhao Feng's phone flashed, the system confirming his victory. Luo Shao stood frozen, his fists trembling.  

"Looks like I win," Zhao Feng said, his voice unwavering. "And Luo Shao? Next time, bring a bigger wallet."  

The crowd roared, their admiration undeniable. The tables had turned. Zhao Feng, once a campus laughingstock, now walked away a legend.  

[Mission Complete. Reward Claimed.]

But as the notifications faded, one final message appeared.  

[New Mission: Confront the Goddess Bai Xinyue.]

[Do you accept?]

Zhao Feng's smirk remained.  

"Bring it on."
