Claire was lying in bed in her dormitory and she could not sleep.

Tonight, her three roommates went on a blind date with the boys from the male dormitory.

She found an excuse and said she was not feeling well so she did not have to go. In reality, she did not join this kind of activity. After all, her family background was not as good as the other three. Her family had basically used every penny they had to send her to music school. Sometimes, she would still go because she could not find an excuse to say no.

Right now, she was glad that she did not go. If not, she would have missed out on this big shot’s gifts.

He directly gave her 2.6 million. Even those popular streamers rarely encountered situations like this, let alone a small streamer like her.

Before she ended her stream, there were people from guilds contacting her. They said they wanted to partner with her and they would help her go up the ranks. They even said they would contact two popular streamers to collaborate with her so that Lil Match would be triggered. With his generosity, he might even give them tens of millions.

The guild knew the temper of this big shot. What did big shots care about the most? Their reputations of course. They could not embarrass themselves in front of their favorite streamers. As long as they could target this weak spot, then this big shot would keep giving out gifts.

Of course, the guilds boosted streamers on the rankings to scam the gullible. Claire would not get a penny of this, and might only get a percentage of the money the gullible gave her.

However, Claire rejected them. She did not want to scam David out of his money like this. Finally, she was even threatened. The other party told her that they would make her lose her job as a streamer.

Claire did not know if she would regret her decision. Plus, she also did not know if this was just a spur of the moment thing for David.

Besides, she needed to think about how she could appropriately improve her family’s living conditions with this over one million dollars she got from the donation, which was what she was allotted.

Because of all this, it was all but destined that she would lose sleep tonight.

In the meantime, David’s Instagram was blowing up. The photo of River Leeds that David posted had gotten more than 100 comments.

He managed to get a really good angle, so it was clear that he took this photo from a unit above the 30th floor in South River International Residence.

Where was South River International Residence? It was the most expensive property in South River Province. One square meter would cost 200 thousand dollars minimum, so a small unit would cost 50 million at least.

And David just posted a photo taken from here!

Comment 1: [David, where did you steal this photo from? The angle is superb!]

Comment 2: [Dave, are you working as a part time cleaner here? Can you refer me to that job? Maybe I can make some nouveau riche friends there.]

Comment 3: [Dave, are you a sugar baby to a rich woman? Do you still have any contacts? I don’t want to work hard anymore.]

There were all kinds of comments, but no one asked David whether he bought a unit there.

It was already late morning when David woke up the next day. After he washed up, he walked to the window and looked out at the scenery of the River Leeds. David still felt as if he was dreaming.

“What should I do today?

“Right, I’m going to buy a car.”

Suddenly, David remembered that he still did not know how to drive.

‘What should I do then?

‘Should I find a driver?

‘Having a driver is not as fun as driving the car myself.

‘Plus, do I even need a driver if I’m buying a sport’s car?

‘Isn’t that such a colossal joke?’

If he went to get a driver’s license now, he would only get it in at least one month.

David felt that he could not wait another month.

Then, David remembered that there was a skill column in the system and he could add whatever skill he wanted freely.

So, David pulled up the interface.

He had another lavish point. Since he topped up ten million on TikTok last night, he had spent a total of 500 million now. Hence, he had another lavish point.

David clicked the plus sign behind the skill column and entered ‘driving’.

Then, the system started loading.

A few seconds later, David felt that he that his brain had suddenly been filled with knowledge, and it was all about driving.

He knew where the brake was, where the accelerator was, and where the clutch was.

He also knew how to start the car, how to change gears, how to turn, and how to reverse the car.

It felt as if he had driven a car before and it all felt so real.

David was excited.

This system was amazing.

Right now, he wanted badly to have a car in front of him so he could try it out.

After he left his home, he walked to the Golden Leaf Hotel.

When he was at the door, Pearl came to welcome him.

“Mr. Lidell, breakfast is ready. Please come with him.”

David figured that Pearl was very professional because she knew to behave within the norms.

Last night, she was calling him darling on Instagram and it felt so intimate. Yet, today, it was Mr. Lidell.

David figured it was good for her to have a clear distinction between her work and private life.

After breakfast, Pearl purposely got close to David when they were walking out of the hotel. She whispered in his ear, “David, darling, don’t forget our appointment.”

The beautiful woman’s breath landed on David’s ear, and it turned him into jelly. He cursed silently in his heart, “You minx!”

David spent another hundred of thousands to change his outfit.

As the saying went, apparel made a man.

After David changed out of his cheap clothes into branded clothes, his appearance changed beyond recognition. Plus, he also added four lavish points to his body last night.

He looked more refreshed now, and seemed completely different from yesterday.

He looked like the son from a rich family.

If he wore this to the showroom, he would not be ignored for a few minutes in the lobby.

After he changed his clothes, he walked to a Benz specialty shop.

He had his eyes on a Benz G-Class the moment he went there. After he paid, he drove away immediately.

Since he changed his outfit, none of the salespeople looked down on him and then got a slap in the face when he swiped his card to pay.

David did not feel awkward driving the brand new Benz G-Class. At that moment, he felt that the system was truly amazing.

However, he had a question. He knew how to drive, but he did not have a license.

How would he get one?

It seemed that no one around him had this ability.

Pearl?

David figured that Pearl might know how to get him one. After all, she was a lobby manager in an eight-star hotel, so she should know a lot of powerful people.

Hence, he drove to the entrance of Golden Leaf Hotel and called Pearl.

“Darling, you’re missing little old me?” Pearl’s charming voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Miss Pearl, I need your help,” David said, going straight to the point.

“What can I help you with? Just tell me. I will do it as long as I can.”

“Can you come out for a chat? I’m outside the hotel in a new Benz G-Class on the left. The one without the license plate.”

“Alright, darling. Wait for me, I’m coming.”

In less than 5 minutes of Pearl hanging up the phone, she appeared outside David’s car.

Pearl asked after she got into the passenger’s seat, “How can I help you?”

“I want to get a driver’s license. Do you know anyone who can do that? Money’s not a problem,” David said directly.

‘Driver’s license?’ Pearl was curious. How would a super rich child like David not have a driver’s license at this age? However, since he did not say anything, she did not ask.

“This shouldn’t be hard. When do you want it?” Pearl asked.

“As soon as possible.”

“Give me your identification card. I’ll snap a picture of it.”

“Alright.”

David took out his identification card and handed it to Pearl.

After Pearl took it, he snapped a picture of it before sending it to someone.

Then, she made a call.

“Hello? Girl, I’ve sent you a picture of an identification card. Can you ask your husband to get a driver’s license for me as soon as possible?

“Alright, okay, I got it. Thanks, girl. Thank your husband for me too.”

Pearl hung up and told David, “The soonest you can get it is this afternoon.”

“Alright, thanks, Miss Pearl. How much is it? I’ll transfer it to you.”

“Don’t talk about money. Since you’re showing me so much respect by calling me Miss Pearl, then don’t be so courteous with me.”

“Alright, are you free then? Go to a place with me.” David stopped being courteous.

“I’ll make time even if I’m not free if you’re the one asking.”

“Alright, sit tight. Let’s go.”

David started the car and left Golden Leaf Hotel.

David brought Pearl to a Porsche dealership.

When the two of them walked through the door, a beautiful saleslady walked over to them.

She spotted the two of them got out of a Benz G-Class, and judging from what David was wearing, he looked like a rich kid.

Thus, she asked enthusiastically, “Sir, Miss, are you here to buy a car?”

“Yes!” David replied.

“May I know what model you’re looking for?”

“Do you have stock for the Porsche 911?”

“We do.”

“Take us to have a look.”

“Please come with me, sir.”

The beautiful saleslady brought them to a Porsche 911.

“We have two of them right now, one in red and one in black. May I know which one you want to look at, sir?”

David scanned the cars nonchalantly and answered, “I want the red one. Get me the invoice now.”

“Huh?” The beautiful saleslady was stunned. He did not even look at it and was buying it? He was so rich that it was insane.

“Sir, are you not going to take a look at it first?”

“I did. The red one is pretty nice.”

The beautiful saleslady had been working here for so long and this was the first time she was seeing someone buying a car like this. He only glanced at the exterior. He did not even look inside before asking for the invoice.

“Alright, sir, please come with me.”

Then, the saleslady led the duo to the front desk and started telling David the performance of the car.

“Sir, this red Porsche 911 is the latest sport’s car with the highest specs. It is equipped with a six-cylinder flat twin-turbocharged engine…”

“Before she could finish, David interrupted her, “Alright, enough. No need to say anything more. Just tell me how much it is.”

“May I know what setting you want?”

“Just get me the best one.”

“Alright, please wait. I’ll calculate it for you.”

Two minutes later…

“Sir, the total is 3.28 million dollars.”

After he paid, David and Pearl sat on the sofa to wait for the staff to go through the procedures.

Pearl figured since David came to buy a car, he should want her to drive the car for him. After all, he could not drive two cars back on his own. Even though she did not know why he chose red, she still suggested, “Darling, I don’t think red suits you. Why not the black one? I think the black one suits you more.”

“It’s not for me. It’s for you. I think the red one suits your temperament, Miss Pearl,” David answered with a grin.

“For me? Darling, are you joking?” Pearl asked in shock.

“Do I look like I’m joking? This is for you.”

“No way, this is too expensive. I can’t accept this.” Pearl quickly rejected.

“Miss Pearl, since you’re calling me your darling, you shouldn’t be so modest with me. You also know this money means nothing to me. It’s just a meal or two. If you reject this, then can we still have fun together in the future?”

“Um… Alright. Thank you, my dear David!”

Pearl was ecstatic. She was currently driving a 100 thousand dollar car, while her annual salary was only 5 or 600 thousand. Her rent every month, her clothes, and her makeup would take up half of her pay. Furthermore, she still had a little brother who had just graduated and was still unemployed, so she would send all of her remaining money back home.

Thus, even if she looked beautiful and polished outside, she did not have a lot of savings. She could never afford a luxury car like this also. Besides, any woman would like a red Porsche 911.

The beautiful saleslady walked behind them and heard their conversation. Right now, she was looking at Pearl with envy. She also wanted someone who was as extravagant as David who could give her a luxury car worth more than three million dollars without batting an eyelid.

“Sir, please give me your identification card or your identification number. We’ll help you apply for insurance and register for it.”

“We’ll just use yours, Miss Pearl.” David looked at Pearl and said.

“David, this isn’t appropriate, right?”

Even though David was buying this car for her, Pearl thought David would only let her drive it around. She did not think he would register the car under her name.

If that was the case, the car would belong to her. At this moment, Pearl was a little light-headed from this sudden surprise.

“Didn’t I say I’ll buy it for you? Do you think I’m joking?”

“Well, okay then. Darling, thank you so much!” ‘Pearl handed her identification car to the beautiful saleslady.

About ten minutes later…

The beautiful saleslady walked over again.

“Sir, it’s done. This is the key and the document. You can drive it away now.”

“Miss Pearl, take it. Let’s go.”

After David said that, he got up to leave.

When Pearl got the document and key, she went over to the car.

The two cars drove on the road next to each other.

Not long after, David, who was in front, received a call from Pearl.

“Darling, where are we going now?”

“Should we go back to the hotel for lunch now? But I’m not that hungry.”

“I’m not either,” replied Pearl.

“Do you want to go to my house?” David asked.

“Okay!”

The two of them drove to South River International Residence. After they parked the cars, they walked to Block 1.

Of course, Pearl had heard about South River International Residence. Plus, it was near to her work, so whenever she walked past this place, she would look at this place with envy. She could only dream about owning a house here.

Even though this dream was very far away, it would be good enough to come in to have a look.

When they got into the elevator of Block 1, they went straight to the 27th floor.

Even though Pearl was mentally prepared before she walked in, she was still stunned by the extravagance in front of her.

There was a brilliant chandelier above her and one of the walls of the lobby had been into into a huge french window facing River Leeds. Furthermore, the sofa, the television, and the painting were all incredibly luxurious.

Pearl would be willing to lose ten years of her life just to live in such an extravagant house.

“Please sit,” David asked Pearl to sit before pouring her a glass of water.

“David, darling, your house is so beautiful. River Leeds at night must be very beautiful from this angle, right?” Pearl asked while pointing at the french window.

“It’s fine. You can come anytime you want if you want to look at it.”

“Really?” Pearl asked in disbelief.

“Of course! Right, where are you from, Miss Pearl?”

“I’m from Cloud City. I’ve been working in River City for three to four years.”

“Have you bought a house here yet?”

Not yet. The housing prices here are so expensive. I don’t even know when I can afford it,” Pearl sighed ruefully.

“I think you should be able to get a mortgage on a house in River City with your salary, right, Miss Pearl?” David asked curiously.

“Actually, my salary is not that high, and I still need to take care of my parents and little brother. I need to pay rent, and my clothes and makeup are not cheap, so that’s why I can’t save much money,” Pearl said in a sad voice.

“Do you want to move in with me then? I can’t stay in such a big house by myself. This way, you can even save on rent.”

David did not know why he said that. Rationally, he had only known Pearl for two days and it was so sudden for him to invite her to stay with him. However, since he said it, he still felt a little longing in his heart.

Actually, David did not know how petty and low he was when he was with Sarah. He would always listen to Sarah, and he rarely had the right to speak.

However, it was different with Pearl. Pearl would let him make the decision when they were talking or going on about something, and she would also ask him for his advice about anything.

Of course, all men would have some machismo. Who would not want a woman who would treat them like a leader? Therefore, David was fond of Pearl’s way of talking and behaving, and subconsciously liked being around Pearl.

“Is this… appropriate?” Pearl asked, a little hesitant.

Even though she was saying that, she was very excited. If she moved here, she would be depending on a powerful person like David.

As for whether David would do something inappropriate to her, she did not care. She was even deliberately seducing David.

Pearl was an ambitious person. She was always the most beautiful girl in her high school and her university. There were a lot of people pursuing her, and among them were some of the most handsome boys in school or even some rich kids with money and power. However, she rejected all of them.

This meant that Pearl had never dated anyone until now. She knew what she wanted. She could fall in love if she merely wanted to find a normal man to spend the rest of her life with. She could even have dozens of them if she wanted to.

However, she did not want that. She wanted to realize her self-worth. She wanted to change her fate and wanted to change her family’s fate. When it came to those people capable of helping her realize her worth, there was a difference between someone who was used and someone untouched.

So, she never dated anyone because she was waiting for this day. David was the target whom she would use to fulfill her life’s purpose. As long as she could rely on David, she did not even need to climb up to the top. She just needed to attach herself to one of his limbs and it would be enough. She never wanted to marry a super-rich kid like David because his family would find someone suitable for him.

She knew her position. Since she wanted to venture down this path, then she would not think about marriage for the rest of her life.

So, when David asked her to stay with him, she felt that this happiness came too suddenly, and she did not even know how to react.

“What’s so inappropriate about this? I can’t stay in such a huge house anyway. It’s good to have someone to talk to sometimes. Of course, if you have a boyfriend then just pretend I never said such a thing so that there won’t be any unnecessary misunderstanding,” said David.

“No! I don’t have a boyfriend. Actually, don’t laugh at me, David, I’ve never dated anyone in my life. I just wonder if I’ll disturb you like this,” Pearl said quickly in case David misunderstood her.

‘She never dated before? No way!’ David thought in his heart. However, he said, “Not at all. I like having people around. The house looks empty now that I’m staying here by myself. If you don’t come, then I’ll find two more people from my campus to make this place livelier.”

“Since you’re saying that, then I’ll thank you for the offer. Should I move in tomorrow?”

“Alright, it’s settled then. Do you need my help?”

“No need. I can manage. Plus, I don’t have a lot of things.”

“Alright! You can look around and see which room you want to stay in. You can choose any room on this floor,” David said.

“Miss Pearl, didn’t you ask me to go swimming with you? Now, we can do it anytime we want. There’s a pool upstairs.”

“Alright, should we go now?” Pearl enticed.

“Cough cough… I don’t think so. Let’s do it another day.”

David felt that he was not as good as Pearl when it came to talking. Plus, Pearl was almost lying down and looked so seductive. This woman was born to be flirtatious.

Pearl stood up and walked in front of David. Then, she bent down and blew against his ear. She said, “Well, David, darling, you can ask me out at any time. I’ve already bought my swimsuit and no one got to witness it yet.”

David’s body became hot after Pearl flirted with him. He wanted to push this little minx down and punish her right there and then, but he still controlled himself. Then, he stood up and said, “Miss Pearl, look around. Um… I’ll go upstairs to get something. We’ll head back to the hotel later.”

David’s face turned red as he found an excuse to go upstairs. He could not handle this. Right now, he felt that it was a bad idea to invite Pearl over. Who could endure such seduction every day? Wasn’t this torture to his poor little soul?

Pearl stood her ground and was giggling uncontrollably. She felt that David was too cute.

However, she was also quite sure that David might be a virgin. Having said that, a super-rich kid like David being a virgin? Who would dare to believe that?

‘Does he have something wrong in that department? No way! If that’s the case, how will I show him my advantage? How will I attach myself to this powerful person?

‘No, this can’t be.’ Pearl could only comfort herself silently in her heart.

If David knew what Pearl was thinking right now, he might have already punished her. How dare she doubt his abilities! This was so humiliating.

On the top floor.

David threw himself on the luxurious bed.

He came here to hide from Pearl. That woman was such a seductress that David could not endure it anymore. However, he was not disgusted by it.

He took out his phone and opened Instagram.

He noticed the photo of River Leeds he posted last night had garnered more than 100 comments.

David read a few of them and they were basically making fun of him.

He only replied to the comments of a few of his close friends. However, he did not tell them he bought a house here. No one would believe him anyway.

When he went to his direct messages, he saw a few people had sent messages to him.

Jenny had sent him good morning.

There was another one from his cousin. It was his youngest aunt’s eldest daughter. Her name was Lily Greg and she was only two years younger than him. She was currently in the first year of university in another city.

They were pretty close. Throughout the three years in high school, he stayed with his youngest aunt for the first two years. Only when he was in senior year did he move in with his eldest aunt.

Since senior year was very stressful and his youngest aunt had a very mischievous son who would affect his studies, he decided to move in with his eldest aunt. His eldest aunt had a daughter who was two years older than David. Right now, she had already graduated and was working.

Lily: [David, where did you take this picture? It’s stunning!]

David replied to her message.

David: [I took this in River City. If you like it, you can come to have fun here when you’re on break. I’ll take you around.]

Lily replied quickly.

Lily: [Really? Don’t lie to me!]

David: [Of course. When did I ever lie to you?]

Lily: [Alright, that’s settled. I’ll go to find you the moment I’m on break.]

David: [Ok.]

Lily: [David, I’m streaming on Whale Streaming tonight. Please come and support me if you have time.]

David: [You little lass, you even know how to stream?]

Lily: [ David, you’re so outdated! All four of us in my dorm are streaming. Not only is it fun, but I can also make some money.]

David: [I’ll go and take a look tonight then. I’ll boost your popularity for you.]

Lily: [Right, David. Are you still working part-time? I made about 3000 dollars from streaming last month and then mom gave me 1500 dollars. I’ll transfer 2000 for you later so you can take Sarah for something nice.]

David was a little touched when he saw that. Even though they rarely saw each other after he moved out of his youngest aunt’s place when he was a sophomore, they were still close.

David: [No need. You should buy some nice clothes for yourself. When you come to River City, I’ll give you a surprise.]

Lily: [What surprise?]

David: [It’s a secret.]

Lily: {Aww, you meanie! David, I have to go now. Class is starting. Bye!]

David: [Bye!]

After a while, David saw Lily transferring 2000 dollars to him.

David hesitated before accepting it.

‘I’ll give you back a thousand times, no, ten thousand times that tonight.’

David felt that it was almost time, so he went downstairs to toss Pearl a set of keys.

Since he offered, he would need to do it. If he could not stand it anymore, he would move out and buy a new house. He had all the money in the world to do it anyway.

To him, when a man and a woman had not yet established their relationship, they could not fool around. He had to be a responsible man.

After this, the two of them went back to Golden Leaf Hotel.
