Chapter 164: [Whispers of Human Nature], Bentley Continental

Answer the phone.

A familiar voice came from the receiver: "Hello, old Song, how have you been lately?"

"Pretty good, how about you? Have you finished dealing with school matters?"

"After the defense next Monday, I'll basically be free, and I can work steadily in the future." Lu Ziming's tone was very relaxed.

For him, who had already joined Tiancheng Capital, graduation was a new beginning in life, and the future was infinitely bright.

The two chatted simply about their recent situations.

Lu Ziming said, "Xie Shu Yu specially called my sister today, praising you to the sky, and also said she was grateful to me for introducing you. Xie Zong is someone I know well; she never praises people meaninglessly. Not bad, old Song, it seems you performed very well and gave your brother face."

Tang Song smiled, "We get along very well, and Sister Xie Shu Yu takes good care of me."

After the roadshow, she directly sent a 10,000 yuan red envelope and raised the part-time fee to 8,000 yuan.

From Xie Shu Yu's perspective, she had already done a very good job.

"Holy crap! Old Song! How come I feel like your smile is so lewd? Could it be that you're trying to latch onto a rich woman?" Lu Ziming's boisterous voice came through the receiver. "It's not that your brother is trying to bring you down, but people have high standards, you really don't have a chance!"

The two teased each other a few times.

Tang Song said, "By the way, Ziming, I'm not renting the house in Qingxin Garden anymore; I'll move out before the end of the month."

He came to Y

However, Lu Ziming took good care of him; the contract was signed starting from December, with rent paid every six months and no deposit.

It had been exactly half a year by the end of May.

Now that he had his own house, there was no need to keep occupying it.

Lu Ziming asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"I changed my work location recently, and Qingxin Garden is a bit far, so I moved."

Lu Ziming paused, "Alright then, take your time moving. I'm not renting that house out anyway; just give me the key whenever you're done."

"OK, thanks."

"Don't mention it." Lu Ziming said casually, "Right, there's one more thing. Qiu Yu is coming to Yancheng for a business trip next week and has invited a few old classmates to dinner. The time is Friday evening, the 26th. Do you want to come over and hang out too?"

"Qiu Yu?" Tang Song muttered, then smiled, "Forget it. We weren't that close to begin with, and she didn't invite me, so I won't go join in the fun."

Qiu Yu was a very popular girl in their major. Although she couldn't be called extremely beautiful, she was already outstanding compared to their software engineering major.

However, Tang Song and she hadn't had any interaction during college, not even WeChat friends.

"Alright then, I knew talking to you would be a waste of time." Lu Ziming laughed, "You're smart and motivated; if you were a bit more outgoing, you might even have a girlfriend by now.

Alright, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going to prepare for my defense. I'll call Lu Kai later, and we'll have a private gathering."

"Okay, bye."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Song took a sip of cold beer and stood up from the sofa.

Through the thick clouds outside the window, one could vaguely see a few twinkling stars.

Standing quietly for a while, Tang Song suddenly walked toward the study with long strides.

First, he took the sketch of Jin Mi Shu from the bookshelf, then grabbed his action camera and guitar, and stood up to go to the bedroom.

He taped the sketch to the glass curtain wall of the balcony, fixed the camera with a tripod, adjusted the shooting angle, and turned on the recording.

Tang Song held the guitar, leaned against the glass curtain wall next to the sketch, and began to play and sing softly.

"BGM: I Can

Accompany you to see the stars

No need for further explanation

I just want to be with you..."

His singing technique wasn't high, but his rich knowledge of music theory combined with a pleasant voice made singing this slow-paced lyrical song very good.

Today was Jin Mi Shu's birthday. After knowing her true existence, Tang Song wanted to see her every moment.

This NPC, who carried most of his feelings for the game, was more like a star hanging high in the night sky to him.

She was both his goal and the direction he was moving forward.

After finishing the song, Tang Song exported the video, edited it simply on his phone, and posted the entire singing video directly to Douyin.

Since she could receive his birthday gift, she should be able to see this video too.

May 21, 2023, Sunday, cloudy, 16~24c.

At 8:30 in the morning, Tang Song, who was sitting in the study reading, suddenly stopped his movements.

"Swish!" The system light screen automatically unfolded before him.

【May 20, 2023, you achieved the goal of over 10,000 followers on the Xiaohongshu platform.】

【You can already be considered a junior influencer (KOL). Your voice has a certain influence in a small range. You have successfully built a personal IP and possess certain commercial value, content dissemination power, user trust...】

【You have obtained the special item "Whispers of Human Nature."】

Checking item details.

【"Whispers of Human Nature": When the player encounters a matching scene and object, the prop will automatically trigger, generating a special event dungeon. Completing the dungeon will help the player better understand human nature, charm +1.】

Seeing the prop introduction, Tang Song's hand holding the beer tightened slightly. It was actually a prop that directly rewarded charm points!

【Event Dungeon】 is a special mode of dungeons in the game, which often only requires experiencing a special event to clear, with short time and high rewards.

The only problem is that this prop cannot be triggered actively.

Taking out his phone, he opened Xiaohongshu.

Looking at the 10,000 follower count, Tang Song smiled and took a screenshot to keep as a souvenir.

This account was truly started from 0, completely recording his transformation process, which could be considered witnessing his own metamorphosis.

Opening the most recent note.

2400+ likes, 600+ saves, 700+ comments.

This note mainly shared his experience in fitness and weight loss, and the save ratio was very high.

He clicked on the comments below to take a look.

Most of them praised his execution and willpower, and quite a few people offered suggestions for the "hobbies" he asked about.

Swimming, writing, badminton, photography, outdoors, etc., were all mentioned.

Tang Song recorded them carefully.

Just as described in the system task 【Pleasing Myself】: Life can have twists and turns, but always remember to please yourself.

He used to put his heart and soul into studying and working, and his life was actually particularly boring.

Now that he was financially free, besides improving himself, he should also cultivate more hobbies.

Only in this way could he better enjoy life, enjoy his life, and experience new things he had never touched before.

For example, swimming, which not only strengthens the body but is also an important survival skill.

For example, photography, which can capture the beauty in life, and occasionally he could invite beautiful girls to take private photos.

Flipping down further, a familiar ID popped up.

【Yao Yao Ling: "Do you want to try a motorcycle? I've always felt that boys riding motorcycles are super cool! Leaving all worries behind, riding freely in the wind. This is my beloved car, I often ride it to play outdoors."】

Below was a photo of her riding an electric scooter on a bridge.

Blue sky and white clouds, a black and white scooter, an orange jacket filled with wind, a pink helmet, a youthful and energetic girl, a blurred background...

It looked very cool.

Tang Song's heart skipped a beat, feeling inexplicably moved.

He had always liked motorcycles. When he was a child, his father's vehicle was a dilapidated motorcycle, which was also their family's main means of transportation.

It carried many of his beautiful memories.

Owning a motorcycle of his own was a dream he had when he was a child.

This was also the main reason he took the motorcycle driver's license test during college.

He had this thought when he saw Cheng Qiuqiu last time, and now it was even more unstoppable.

Opening WeChat, he sent a message to Yao Lingling: "Lingling, I saw your message. Do you have any motorcycle recommendations suitable for beginners?"

"Ding-dong—"

【Lingling: "I'm working on a pattern sheet, wait for me to finish and I'll help you research it."】

Chatting with Yao Lingling for a few sentences, Tang Song started browsing the internet to check out recent popular motorcycles.

3:00 PM.

"Ding-a-ling—" A rapid phone ringtone sounded; it was an unfamiliar number from Modou.

Tang Song's heart stirred, and he answered immediately, "Hello, hello."

A polite and steady male voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Tang, I am a staff member of Sheng Tang Security. We have a commissioned shipment for you that has arrived in Yancheng. When are you free? We will deliver it to you."

"Now is fine."

"Okay, we will arrive at Yanjing Tiancheng in about half an hour, please keep an eye out for our call."

"Okay, thank you."

Waiting for another half hour, the phone rang again.

After communicating simply and agreeing on the car parking location, Tang Song walked downstairs quickly.

Walking out of the east gate of the residential area, he immediately saw a flatbed trailer on the side of the road.

The trailer's lifting platform had already been lowered, and a sedan covered with a dust cloth was parked quietly on it.

Several security personnel in black suits were surrounding it, burly and solemn-faced; one look and they were clearly tough characters.

Some curious people around, seeing these people, avoided them one after another.

Noticing Tang Song walking toward this side, a young man with a flat top walked up quickly and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Tang, my name is Wang Xiaojun, and I am an employee of Sheng Tang Security."

"Hello." Tang Song nodded politely and followed him to the side of the car.

"The entire transportation process was carried out by us personally, ensuring there are no problems. Please inspect the car first." Wang Xiaojun waved at the security personnel.

Immediately after, the heavy dust cloth was carefully pulled away.

A glacier-white sedan was gradually revealed.

Graceful and luxurious white, noble and pure.

The streamlined body, the transparent and bright oval headlights, the gleaming chrome trim, and that iconic wing-shaped Bentley logo.

Many passersby around cast stunning gazes over.

If it weren't for the presence of the black-suited security guards around, it's estimated that quite a few people would have come up to join in the fun.

Tang Song, who had been relatively calm, instantly became spirited.

He was also a young man who loved cars, and now his Dream Car, a Bentley Continental worth nearly 4 million, was placed before him.

The excitement and joy in his heart were hard to suppress.

His fingers slid lightly over the car body, his gaze full of love.

This car was indeed beautiful, and not flashy at all, with a high-end and fashionable exterior design.

On the side of the car body, the straight and smooth waistline outlined a curve full of power toward the tail.

The biggest feeling when looking at the whole car was elegance, elegance refined to the extreme, with a kind of subtle and confident gentlemanly demeanor.

The license plate number was from Modou, very pleasing to the eye, all numbers, with three 8s at the end.

"Mr. Tang, these are the vehicle's driving license, insurance policy, keys, and other documents. Please take a look."

Taking the exquisite plastic bag handed over by Wang Xiaojun, he took out the car keys from inside and pulled open the car door.

LED welcome lights, Bentley door sills, and colored derivative pedals all came into view.

The interior was a mix of linen white and deep red, with precious wood inlaid in top-grade leather.

Personalized embroidery, panoramic sunroof, rotating screen...

Elegant and noble, luxurious and atmospheric.

Adjusting the seat and steering wheel position, he stepped on the brake and pressed the START button.

"Boom—" The vehicle ignited instantly.

The 6.0T W12 engine was like a roaring beast, but the top-tier NVH kept the noise inside the car very low.

Driving the car off the lifting rack, he moved forward along the wide road outside Yanjing Tiancheng.

Acceleration, braking, steering...

After driving around the residential area once, Tang Song pulled the car over and parked.

He said to Wang Xiaojun, "The car is fine, thank you all for your hard work."

"That's good." A smile appeared on Wang Xiaojun's face as he handed over a document, "Please sign here, and our mission will be considered complete."

Tang Song took it casually and signed his name "Swish, swish, swish."

"Mr. Tang, then I won't disturb you anymore, goodbye." Wang Xiaojun bowed and said goodbye.

Soon, the truck's lifting rack started, and a group of security personnel got into an off-road vehicle with Modou license plates on the side of the road.

Tang Song sat back in the Bentley's driver's seat and started the car.

The clouds in the sky were like flowing scrolls, sometimes thick, sometimes thin.

Sunlight shone through the gaps, landing on the Bentley's bright and beautiful car body, refracting colorful halos.

Gazes were cast toward it from time to time, and when waiting for traffic lights, he could see many people raising their phones to take photos and videos.

Soft music played in the 20 high-quality Naim speakers.

Tang Song sat on the comfortable leather seat, his fingers lightly gripping the smooth and soft steering wheel, shuttling through the busy city streets, feeling an indescribable sense of confidence and satisfaction.

The car gradually drove out of the urban area and came to the outer ring with sparse traffic.

Stepping on the accelerator pedal, the 635 horsepower instantly erupted with extremely strong acceleration performance.

Outside the window, it was like lightning, while inside the car, it was stable and quiet.

After 4 PM, Tang Song parked the car on the side of a tree-lined road.

Picking up his phone, he took a few beautiful photos and leaned against the elegant car body to admire the surrounding scenery for a while.

Immediately, his heart stirred.

Like the house, the car was also an asset inherited from the game. He wondered if there were any good things he left in the game inside this car.

Opening the trunk, there was indeed a blue and white folding storage box inside.

Tang Song pulled the storage box out and opened the lid on top.

The first thing he saw was a rolled-up poster.

Opening the poster, Tang Song raised his eyebrows.

It was actually a promotional poster for Su Yu's "Related to You" concert on June 20th.

Looking at her beautiful face and the black ring on her finger, Tang Song pursed his lips, seemingly understanding her meaning.

Flipping down further, an exquisite black wooden gift box came into view.

There was also a beautiful pattern mark engraved on it, which looked somewhat familiar.

Lifting the lid, in the middle of the brown soft cushion in the shape of a "hui" character, was a watch that looked very high-end.

Matte blue dial, 8 long diamond hour markers, black leather strap...

A line of English letters was printed on the lining: PATEK PHILIPPE.

Combined with the LOGO he just saw, a word popped into Tang Song's mind.

Patek Philippe!

He had naturally heard of this world-renowned top watch brand.

Although he didn't know the specific model of this watch, just looking at the appearance, he knew it was definitely a high-end series.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Song slowly closed the box and put it back into the storage box.

He took out a thick envelope from inside, on which the two characters "Tang Song" were written with a marker, the handwriting neat and powerful.

Tearing open the sealed envelope, he pulled out a thick stack of white printed paper.

Checking the content of the top sheet.
