I am not just a tycoon

As everyone knows, to excel in the sport of poker, besides accumulating experience, one heavily relies on talent.

Without talent, all techniques are futile.

Even if you have unlimited firepower, if it's like a pushpin, it's still just tickling. Smart girls might play along with you, while more straightforward girls probably can't help but roll their eyes.

Immediately after, Shen Yuan clicked "Use," and he instantly felt warmth in his lower abdomen, and a significant change occurred to his genitals.

Awesome!

Shen Yuan revealed a contented smile, subconsciously glancing towards Chen Na, who had just lost consecutively.

After the first three rounds, Chen Na was actually physically drained. She wasn't like Liew Menglu, a fitness coach who recovers quickly; Chen Na had spent the past few years mostly in showrooms and offices, barely exercising, so her physical condition was relatively frail.

So, when she saw Shen Yuan wanted to play a fourth round, she quickly shook her head in refusal, firmly unwilling to agree. However, her refusal only made Shen Yuan more excited, merely increasing his speed of attack. Read new adventures at empire

A flash of cold steel first, then charging forward like a dragon!

Thirty-five minutes later, Chen Na curled up on the bed, looking as if her body had been hollowed out.

Her gaze tender and soft, she mustered up her last bit of strength and murmured faintly, "Um… Shen Yuan…"

"Why do I feel you were a bit different this time?"

Shen Yuan chuckled, "Where was it different?"

"Um…"

Chen Na, still flushed, said weakly, "It just felt different…"

Chen Na's current state was actually a huge compliment for a man, and Shen Yuan smiled proudly.

"There will be more surprises for you in the future."

Size is certainly important, but Shen Yuan was still not satisfied. If he could also improve his girth, that would be even more perfect.

He wondered whether achieving a 90 Feel-good Index with the next female NPC might yield such an upgrade, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

However, that was all for tonight. Nana isn't the warlike class belle kind of knight, she still needs more training.

Shen Yuan asked Chen Na to rest a bit more while he went to take a shower. After showering, he checked the other two rewards.

[5 million car spending exclusive gold]

[Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card*1]

The first needs no further explanation; Shen Yuan had used it before. However, this time the amount was a whole 4 million more than before. With this budget, most luxury sports cars on the market could be bought.

However, since he already had a car, there was no rush to switch it.

What interested Shen Yuan more was the second reward. He subconsciously opened his backpack and clicked on the "Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card" to view the details.

[Basic culinary skill, basic combat skill, basic household appliances repair, basic car-racing skill, basic hairdressing skill, basic basketball skill, basic dancing skill,....]

[Note: This skill card can be exchanged for any of the above skills and takes effect immediately]

Shen Yuan instantly realized, so these were the skills.

While he could understand the combat and household appliance repair, what was with hairdressing?

If he wanted a haircut, he could just go to a hair salon. Even with this skill, he couldn't cut his own hair. Was he supposed to apply for a job at a hair salon as a hair stylist one day?

This skill was somewhat useless.

However, it would have been nice if Nai Liang had this skill back then, then Little Lu wouldn't have had to go to PGone for a haircut.

Shen Yuan completely ignored this skill and carefully reviewed the other skills.

He was more interested in the combat and household appliance repair skills.

Although it's a law-abiding society, having a self-defense skill is always better. He also considered that he had quite a few women to protect.

Next, the household appliance repair, just in case one day Lih Xiao's home range hood or TV broke down, he could go and fix it for her with this skill.

These skills weren't urgent to exchange; he could just click use when needed.

From this reward, Shen Yuan also discerned a pattern: the second NPC's reward was richer than the first. This meant there was a high probability that the third NPC's reward would be even richer than the first two.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan was quite looking forward to the next knight with a Feel-good Index of 90.

As Shen Yuan was carefully reviewing the skills, Chen Na's phone suddenly rang. It was already 10 PM, generally, no urgent calls would come at this time.

"Hello, Mom."

Chen Na, groggy, answered the call while lying in bed.

"....."

"What?!!"

Chen Na suddenly sat up from the bed.

"..."

"Is it serious? I'll come back right now!"

Chen Na's face was full of concern and urgency.

"..."

"Can you manage alone? Is my sister there?"

"..."

"Then, alright then, I'll rush back early tomorrow morning."

"....."

"Do you have enough money? Do you need me to send some?"

"..."

"Alright, then make sure to keep me updated about any issues."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Na was somewhat choked up. She burrowed into the duvet, covered her head, and soon, her sobbing sounds could be heard from under the duvet.

Shen Yuan knew something must have happened at Nana's home, otherwise, her reaction wouldn't have been so intense. He walked over and sat beside the bed, slowly pulling the duvet a bit lower to reveal a face with tears as beautiful as pear blossoms.

Seeing her made Shen Yuan's heart ache tremendously; he held her in his arms, gently saying, "What's wrong? Can you talk to me about it?"

"Um...."

Chen Na's face was streaked with tears, her speech broken and intermittent, "My dad... my dad had a stroke and was hospitalized because of drinking, and my mom is now at the hospital taking care of him. He already had high blood pressure."

"It's all... all my fault, they've been asking me to come home for a blind date recently, but I didn't want to go on a blind date, so I kept putting it off and didn't return."

"If I had been more filial and gone home to deal with the blind date, I could have reminded my dad, and maybe he wouldn't have drunk so heavily..."

Chen Na cried even harder, her face full of self-blame and regret.

In reality, this had nothing to do with her, but she still took all the blame upon herself, making Shen Yuan even sadder, and he held her tighter.

"Do you want to go back now? I can drive you home, I remember you're from Ling County, right?"

Shen Yuan asked.

Ling County is a county governed by Zhu City, about 200 kilometers from Star City. By highway, it takes just over two hours.

Chen Na shook her head, sobbing, "My mom... my mom said it's not safe to drive at night, and asked me to go back tomorrow morning."

Shen Yuan gently stroked Chen Na's sleek back, "Alright, then I'll accompany you back tomorrow."

Feeling Shen Yuan's care, Chen Na felt a bit warmer inside, but the two were not officially in a relationship, and with her dad being sick, it wasn't appropriate to bring him home.

Chen Na leaned in Shen Yuan's arms, gently shaking her head, "I'll go back by myself, it's okay."

Shen Yuan also knew this was a bit presumptuous and didn't insist, "Call me if you need anything, whether it's money or a transfer to another hospital, just tell me."

"Mm-hmm."

Chen Na felt somewhat relieved, nodding her head while choking back tears.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Chen Na's forehead.

Among the three in his harem group, Shen Yuan actually favored Chen Na the most. She was neither materialistic like Coach Liew nor possessive like the class belle.

She asked for very little.

The house and the car were both things he had insisted on giving her, even the coffee shop was his idea, and she always thought about saving Shen Yuan money, like the last time he bought a house.

Chen Na still harbored fairy-tale notions of romance and was quite emotional.

It was also based on a certain goodwill index that she had started interacting with Shen Yuan.

The key was that she was sensible, knew her place well, and would not overstep. When faced with the matter involving Liew Menglu, even if she felt aggrieved, she would cry and tell herself to try and accept it.

How could Shen Yuan not love a woman like her?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Shen Yuan gently wiped the tears from the corner of Chen Na's eyes, comforting her slowly until nearly midnight, when they both eventually fell into a deep sleep.

When Shen Yuan got up the next day at eight o'clock, Chen Na had already gone back to Ling County, leaving a message on WeChat: "Breakfast is kept warm on the stove. You can eat when you wake up. I've already returned to my old home in Ling County."

Shen Yuan sighed silently. Nana was in such a hurry to go home yet still made me breakfast.

Then, he sent Chen Na a WeChat message, "Where are you now? How is uncle doing? Keep in touch with me if anything comes up."

Thinking it over, he could also help improve Chen Na's family situation, like buying her parents a new house or a new car; after all, it can all be put in Nana's name, a win-win situation.

But that would have to wait until her uncle was better.

Hope everything goes well!

While having breakfast, Shen Yuan received a video from Fu Yingzi.

Turns out she didn't have class this morning and took several people to clean the activity classroom. From the video, it was evident that all the old desks and chairs had been cleared out, including the floors and walls, all cleaned spotlessly.

After that, she went to the furniture mall and sent Shen Yuan several sets of decent-looking mahogany desks and chairs for his approval.

"This girl is something, setting aside how well the job is done, this proactive attitude is excellent."

Shen Yuan nodded approvingly.

A pro-active and professional voice actress like her, if she could be added to the harem group, wouldn't that be great?

Capable of working hard and well, why not?

Meanwhile, at the Red Star Furniture Mall, Fu Yingzi was in a high-end office furniture store, selecting mahogany desks and chairs.

Alongside her stood Feng Zegui, who had bought her boba tea yesterday.

Feng Zegui, puzzled, asked, "Yingzi, you're a student office holder, not his subordinate, so why do you run around doing things for him?"

Fu Yingzi frowned slightly, "I told you not to follow me, but you insisted on coming. Now you're here nagging again. Maybe you should just go back to school and not bother me while I pick the office supplies."

Feng Zegui immediately looked discouraged and pleaded, "Yingzi, please don't send me away."

"I just don't understand why..."

"If you don't understand, then stop trying to understand!"

Fu Yingzi cut him off abruptly, her tone cold, just as distant as it was yesterday.

Inside, Feng Zegui felt a chill, unable to believe that after pursuing Fu Yingzi earnestly for three years, he couldn't compete with a man she had known for only a day.

Just because he was better looking and had some money?

What's so great about that!

Fu Yingzi herself was very clear-headed, knowing fundamentally that the startup base was a losing business and that Shen Yuan wouldn't mind losing 10 million RMB, indicating he was prepared to take the loss.

This meant he didn't care about the 10 million RMB at all.

Therefore, his net worth must be at least in the hundreds of millions, possibly even several billion!

Being only 21 years old with such wealth—what did that imply?

Fu Yingzi couldn't believe someone of that stature was actually right beside her, and not just that, but they were from the same school and same year!

A man like that was not to be missed. Although he seemed to have a girlfriend, she could still stay close to Shen Yuan by showing her work capacity and other unique qualities and highlights.

That could be a tremendous opportunity to leap social classes!

Fu Yingzi had thought she'd need to wait until working to meet such a person, so she was surprised to have stumbled upon him now.
