Chapter 364: Miss art student?

"Full Payment," Luofeng cut in. "I want to drive it away today. You handle the paperwork afterward!"

The salesman couldn’t suppress the urge to curse.He’d assumed these two were just browsing for fun. They didn’t even want a test drive? Straight to Full Payment?

"Right this way, sir. Please hold on for a moment while I contact the manager to get you a discount!"

The salesman warmly invited them to the waiting area and brought them some Perrier.

Luofeng didn’t refuse the discount.Mainly because he had no Prop Cards he could use. So, of course, he’d take the discount. It was a good way to subsidize his fuel costs.

Less than five minutes later, the salesman returned.

"Hello, sir. We’ve managed to get you a 5% discount, plus a complimentary XP Invisible Car Cover worth 100,000, and a fuel card worth 10,000."

Luofeng glanced at the man’s nameplate. Duan Tiancheng.

"No problem. Let’s tally up the total price," Luofeng said.

"Oh, Mr. Luo, one more thing," Duan Tiancheng said. "The car that arrived the day before yesterday has an added seat ventilation system, for an extra 80,000!"

"No problem. Factory-installed seat ventilation is better. If it didn’t have it, I’d have it installed myself anyway. Let’s get to the pricing!" Luofeng said again.

Finally, after some rapid calculations, the total came out to 2.91 million. Of course, this was just the base price of the car. With the 5% discount, it was around 2.76 million, effectively reducing the price by about 140,000 to 150,000.This discount alone could cover his fuel costs for two to three years.

The seat ventilation system was an undiscounted addition, costing another 80,000.

There was a ten percent vehicle purchase tax. The luxury car tax was also ten percent. So, those taxes added up to around 550,000. Registration services and the like were complimentary.

The final price came to 3.4 million.

No wonder this car was highly acclaimed but didn’t sell well. A top-spec Audi Q8 only costs around one million. Upgrade it with a Stage Two tune, tweak the intercooler, exhaust, brakes, and so on? At most, that’s an additional 200,000, and it could go toe-to-toe with a Lamborghini Urus. So why spend over 1.8 million more for the Urus? Of course, the brand cachet for showing off had to be worth at least 1 million of that, right? But even so, it still felt like a bad deal. Under such circumstances, aside from someone like Luofeng, who wasn’t short on cash, anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn’t buy it, right?

Luofeng currently had just over 10 million in his personal account, so a price tag under 3.4 million was of no concern to him.

He swiped his card and signed the contract. Everything was settled quickly.

"Thank you for your patronage, sir!"

Duan Tiancheng was thrilled.He was just an intern; this one sale probably meant he could become a permanent employee, right?

"By the way, Mr. Luo, would you like to have the XP Invisible Car Cover applied today?"

"Not today. Let’s add each other on WeChat. Come to Shu City Economics University on Sunday afternoon to apply it for me, and help me with the license plate registration while you’re at it." Luofeng didn’t have time to wait around.

"No problem!" Duan Tiancheng nodded.

At this moment, without a second thought, Luofeng opened his Casual License Plate Prop Card and chose one: Sichuan A168LF.

The System also indicated that this license plate number was obtained via a random draw at the Motor Vehicle Inspection Station.

A quarter of an hour later, Duan Tiancheng drove the Lamborghini Urus out from the garage.

Upon Luofeng’s inspection, the car’s odometer showed just over twenty kilometers. The paintwork was flawless, and all the lighting equipment functioned perfectly. Overall, there were no issues.

"Mr. Luo, we will handle the necessary registration paperwork for you at the Motor Vehicle Inspection Station next door. I just don’t know if you’d prefer to select a license plate online or get one randomly assigned on-site?" Duan Tiancheng explained.

"Random draw on-site," Luofeng said. "Call me when it’s time for the registration; I’ll come over in person."

"Alright!" Duan Tiancheng nodded.

Then, Luofeng started the car.

Although Luofeng had grumbled that it was just a high-spec Audi Q8, the reality was that the difference between the two was still significant. The key was the V8 engine—that made it a completely different beast, okay?

"Damn! A V8 engine! Just the sound of it is on another level!" Li Hu, sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, remarked with awe.

"Want to give it a try?"

"This..." Li Hu hesitated.

"Hey, don’t be polite. You drive it back later, and I’ll drive your Mercedes!" Luofeng said, pulling up next to Li Hu’s Mercedes. "Car key!"

"Alright, thanks, Brother Feng!" Li Hu didn’t stand on ceremony and handed his Mercedes key to Luofeng.

Soon, the two set off, one after the other, heading back to the open-air parking lot at the school.

Li Hu said excitedly, "That was awesome! This car has instantly given me a new life goal! I’m going to work my ass off after graduation and strive to buy one!"

"And then what? You work hard for a year, save up ten thousand yuan from your own blood, sweat, and tears, and then your family has to chip in another 2.99 million to buy you a 3 million Lamborghini?" Luofeng teased.

"Hahaha, you’re ruthless, Brother Feng!" Li Hu rolled his eyes. "But you’re right; that really does seem like the only way I could ever afford it!"

"Showing off your wealth?" Luofeng raised an eyebrow.

"Get out of here! Who would dare to flaunt their wealth in front of you, Brother Feng?" Li Hu grumbled. "Actually, my family’s financial situation is decent, but... well..." He sighed.

Every family has its own unspoken struggles, huh?

Luofeng had known for a while that Li Hu’s family was well-off; otherwise, Li Hu wouldn’t have casually transferred four hundred thousand to him last time, right?

Luofeng patted Li Hu on the shoulder. "When I’m not at school, feel free to drive it!"

"Forget it, the pressure is too much. My little Mercedes is definitely good enough for picking up girls, but with your car, I’m afraid I’d be drained dry!" Li Hu laughed. "By the way, should we go check out the Academy of Fine Arts?"

Earlier, when they were heading to the parking lot, their conversation had turned to the Academy of Fine Arts. Word was that there were many pretty female art students there.

"Do you know someone over there?" Luofeng asked.

"I know a girl there who studies oil painting. Shall I lead the way?" Li Hu snickered.

Luofeng nodded. "Let’s go then, take a look. The pretty girls aren’t important. It’s just that I have zero artistic sense and want to soak in some of the atmosphere!"

"Hahaha, that’s rich coming from you! I figure if you have a child with one of them, the kid will inherit artistic talent, right? That’s the quickest way to cultivate artistic talent in the next generation!"

"But isn’t that also the most difficult method?" Luofeng countered.

Isn’t that the truth. Want to win over a goddess? Don’t you need a million-dollar luxury car, handsome looks, and assets worth over a hundred million?

Soon, they set off. This time, Li Hu led the way, and Luofeng followed. The two of them planned to make an appearance at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Actually, Luofeng was also curious about what kind of girl Li Hu had found there.
