Chapter 166: Chapter 124: Old Shen, Flush With Cash!

Shen Qiushan finally came back to his senses.

At the last family gathering, he had slipped his father-in-law a bottle of “Endurance Spray.”

Obviously, his dear father-in-law had tried it out!

And even gave it a thumbs up!

Shen Qiushan couldn’t help but smile, replying quietly, “Yeah, I got it.”

“I’ll give you some later!”

Shen Qiushan had tried that Endurance Spray himself once—worked damn well, no side effects, and it even seemed to have something like a tonic effect on the kidneys.

It’s just that Shen Qiushan had already bumped all his basic attributes to 90, so he never bothered with that stuff again.

But for someone normal like Lin Moxuan, the effect was definitely obvious—or else, his proud father-in-law wouldn’t have brought it up on his own initiative.

Shen Qiushan’s guess was pretty much on the money. If you had to sum up Endurance Spray with a commercial tagline, it’d be: “You won’t know until you try it!”

After all, it was a system product—not something churned out by some back-alley workshop.

That tiny bottle was only good for two uses. After trying it, Director Lin not only felt his kidney function was back to prime, but also had zero side effects.

It was basically a magic potion!

Lin Moxuan had wanted to ask Shen Qiushan for more of this stuff for ages, but he was too embarrassed to bring it up.

Dude even tried to search all over the internet but couldn’t find anything similar.

Tonight, with a little booze for courage, Lin Moxuan finally popped the question.

“What are you two whispering about over there?”

“Since when did you start telling secrets?”

Chen Qingzhu asked with a big smile—she was clearly in a great mood tonight.

Because Lin Moxuan and Shen Qiushan, this pair of “father-in-law and son-in-law,” had finally buried the hatchet.

Look at that—they even had secrets to share now.

Which used to be completely unimaginable before.

“Brother-in-law, what are you and my dad chatting about?”

“I wanna know too!”

“It’s not like there’s any outsiders here. Why don’t you just say it and let us listen in!”

Lin Jiayu joined in, egging them on. She was genuinely curious what personal stuff her dad and Shen Qiushan could even have to talk about.

After all, before this, whenever her old man brought up Shen Qiushan at home, he was always frowning and scowling.

His nose wasn’t a nose, his eyes weren’t eyes!

Now her dad was whispering with Shen Qiushan? The change was just wild.

Hearing his youngest daughter Lin Jiayu, Lin Moxuan’s face immediately darkened: “Why are you butting in?”

“Of course, your brother-in-law and I were talking about important matters!”

Leadership instincts on full display—Lin Moxuan could lie with a straight face.

Lin Jiayu stuck her tongue out, “Judging by your expressions, it didn’t look like anything important.”

Shen Qiushan straightened his face, correcting her: “Jiayu, that’s where you’re wrong.”

“We were really talking about something major!”

But deep down, Shen Qiushan was grumbling to himself: The kid doesn’t know anything—this is about how much of the family inheritance you’re gonna get, how is that not a big deal??

Seeing that both of them insisted, Lin Jiayu just pouted: “So mysterious.”

“Fine, whatever, don’t say it then!”

When the dinner was over, Shen Qiushan slipped into the restroom, grabbed two bottles of Endurance Spray from his system backpack.

When they left the restaurant, Shen Qiushan handed the two little bottles to Lin Moxuan.

Director Lin was already seventy or eighty percent drunk, but still clutched those two bottles like precious treasures.

Back at home.

Chen Qingzhu helped her old man back to the room, but as soon as they got in, Director Lin perked right up, pulled the two little bottles Shen Qiushan gave him out, all mysterious.

Chen Qingzhu recognized them—old man had used them before, so she couldn’t help but spit, “Horny old man!”

“Qiushan gave these to you again?”

“He insisted, what could I do?”

“Qiushan just wouldn’t take no for an answer!”

Lin Moxuan put on his straight-faced nonsense, maintaining his lofty Director Lin image.

“Unbelievable, that kid!”

Chen Qingzhu shook her head, a bit speechless. At her age, needs happened sometimes but nothing urgent.

Men, though, as long as they aren’t hung up, they’re never honest.

“Qiushan’s not even remarried, hasn’t started dating, how come he has so much of this stuff?”

Chen Qingzhu asked, kind of confused.

“At Qiushan’s age, as long as he takes care of his responsibilities and doesn’t mess around, it’s understandable.”

Lin Moxuan was even defending Shen Qiushan—before, that would have been unthinkable.

“I’m not some stick in the mud.”

“I have nothing against him finding someone. The kids are grown, after all.”

“But honestly, Qiushan really doesn’t have anyone now. Otherwise, he’d never have this much energy, you see? He has to take care of Xiaoxiao and Yanran, still hits the books hard, and writes novels to earn money…”

Chen Qingzhu honestly felt for her son-in-law, especially when she found out he was both studying and writing novels.

And even so, he managed to ace the college entrance exam—pretty amazing!

“So really, Qiushan’s a good kid!”

Lin Moxuan let out a sigh, rare positive feedback from him.

Which, of course, had nothing to do with the two “Little Blue Bottles” in his hand.

In the living room.

Lin Xiamo and Lin Jiayu, the sisters, were chatting away.

Lin Xiamo had a bit to drink herself tonight, and it was Lin Jiayu, who’d only had her license for less than a year, driving them home.

“Sis, let me tell you something super funny.”

“You know my roommate Fang Xiaoya?”

“Yup, heard you mention her.”

Lin Xiamo leaned her head on the couch, rubbing her temples. Her drinking skills were just so-so, so even a little tonight had her feeling a bit tipsy.

“Xiaoya actually wants to be Yanran and Xiaoxiao’s stepmom!”

“Hilarious, right?”

Lin Jiayu told her sister, treating it like a joke.

When she heard that, Lin Xiamo froze for a sec before reacting: “Wait, you’re saying your roommate Fang Xiaoya’s interested in our brother-in-law??”

“Yeah!”

“She said she likes older guys, and brother-in-law’s just her type.”

“When he came to pick me up today, she even dressed up and added him on WeChat.”

Lin Jiayu laughed, teasing: “When I told Yanran about it in the car, the girl was stunned.”

“Xiaoya and I are the same age, only two years older than Yanran!”

Lin Xiamo frowned a little, and couldn’t help but complain, “Girls these days are really open-minded!”

Lin Jiayu just shook her head, “Xiaoya’s an exception, okay? I’m not like that!”

“I still want a boyfriend about my age.”

“Got someone in mind?”

Lin Xiamo asked.

“Nope.”

Lin Jiayu sighed, “All the guys are so childish, none of them are reliable yet!”

“So you want someone your age, but then call them childish.”

“Good luck with that!”

Lin Xiamo joked right back.

Honestly, she didn’t have any romantic experience to share either.

She stretched, ended the chat and went back to her room.

But while showering, she kept thinking about what Lin Jiayu had said about Fang Xiaoya.

It’s said men always like young girls.

But now a 20-year-old was into Shen Qiushan?!

While she thought it was all sorts of weird, she couldn’t help but feel an odd sense of crisis deep down!

She couldn’t even say where it came from.

Or maybe, she just didn’t want to face that feeling head-on.

Shen Family.

Old Shen was drunk out of his mind—fell asleep the second he got home.

His snoring was already bad, but now, after all that alcohol, it was even louder.

Shen Qiushan could hear him clear as day from his own little room, but it didn’t put the slightest dent in his good mood.

After the college entrance exam rewards were tallied up—

Shen Qiushan had 6.04 million Scholar Index points!

The system panel was showing his Initial Tier Attributes.

Appearance: 90

Figure: 90

Strength: 90

Speed: 90

Endurance: 90

Health: 90

Right now, all six Initial Tier Attributes were at 90.

According to system rules, after 90, adding even one point would cost 100,000 Scholar Index points.

Shen Qiushan’s 6.04 million Scholar Index points were just about enough to max out all six Initial Tier Attributes.

But Shen Qiushan wasn’t planning on doing that. After all that hard work saving up 6.04 million, he wasn’t about to blow it all in one go.

After thinking a bit—

Shen Qiushan decided to max out Appearance, Health, and Endurance.

The other three were already at 90—darn good for any normal person. No rush to cap them out.

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Appearance +10!

Current Appearance: 100!

Congratulations, Host has obtained the title “Divine Face.”

(Divine Face: Increases same-gender favorability by 20%, opposite-gender by 40%)

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Endurance +10!

Current Endurance: 100!

Congratulations, Host has obtained the title “Endurance King.”

(Endurance King: Can work or exercise non-stop for 24 hours when fully energized)

Ding!

Scholar Index -1,000,000!

Health +10!

Current Health: 100!

Congratulations, Host has obtained the title “Immune to Hundred Poisons.”

(Immune to Hundred Poisons: Immune to toxins; theoretically won’t get sick again)

The system notifications came one after another, and with three maxed attributes, Shen Qiushan bagged three different titles.

After reading over those title descriptions, Shen Qiushan was honestly stunned.

Stacking this many buffs on himself—Shen Qiushan couldn’t even imagine how sweet life was about to get!

Sure enough, living life with cheats is just built different!

At first, Shen Qiushan had been a little pained about spending 3 million Scholar Index points all at once!

But now, it looked totally worth it!

Shen Qiushan was tempted to max out the remaining three attributes, but then he figured—he was already buffed out enough for now.

No need to rush it.

Right now, maybe it’s time to use some Scholar Index for a little lottery gamble.

So Shen Qiushan opened up the lottery page again.

Now, his pockets were deep, after all.

No more boring single draws.

He started right off with a ten-pull!!

Ding!

Congratulations, Host has won a consolation prize.

Endurance Spray.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host has won a consolation prize.

Charm Perfume.

…

That ten-pull? All ten were consolation prizes.

Damn!

Still the same old scam as ever.

Shen Qiushan grumbled under his breath and immediately started another ten-pull…
