That night, Li Kai arrived at the most expensive restaurant in the city.
The private rooftop of The Imperial Crown.
Golden lights illuminated the entire skyline.
Chen Yuna stood beside him, still unable to believe how much her life had changed in a single day.
Li Kai… this place is insanely expensive.
Li Kai shrugged.
It's fine.
The system panel appeared.

A black luxury car stopped outside the restaurant.
Lin Xiaorou stepped out.
Tonight she wore a dark red evening dress that made the entire rooftop fall silent.
Even the waiters froze.
Above her head.
Favorability: 35 to 38
Li Kai smiled.
Looks like the Charm Aura is working.
She walked over calmly.
You chose quite the place.
Li Kai pulled out a chair for her.
Only the best.
They had barely sat down when a voice suddenly interrupted.
Well… well… well.
A tall man in an expensive suit walked toward them.
His face was full of arrogance.
Xiaorou, I didn't expect to see you here.
Lin Xiaorou's expression instantly turned cold.
Zhao Tian.
The system panel appeared over the man's head.

Zhao Tian looked at Li Kai with clear hostility.
So this is the guy who bought that café.
Li Kai took a sip of his drink.
Yeah.
Zhao Tian laughed.
You think throwing around a few million makes you impressive.
Li Kai sighed.
Not really.
Zhao Tian smirked.
Then let's make this interesting.
He snapped his fingers.
A waiter approached.
I'll reserve the entire rooftop.
The waiter hesitated.
Sir… this area is already booked.
Zhao Tian placed a black card on the table.
Ten million.
Gasps filled the rooftop.
He looked at Li Kai smugly.
Let's see if you can compete.
Li Kai didn't even look at the card.
Instead, he opened his phone.
"How much does this restaurant cost.
The manager nearly fainted.
W-What.
I'm asking the price.
The manager stuttered.
T-The building… the business… everything.
Yes.
Around fifty million dollars.
Li Kai nodded.
Okay.
He tapped his phone.
I'll buy it.
The entire rooftop went silent.
Zhao Tian's smile disappeared.
You're bluffing.
Then Li Kai turned the phone around.
Transfer Complete — $50,000,000
The manager dropped to his knees.
C-Congratulations… owner Li.
DING.
The system exploded with notifications.
Favorability Increase
38 to 55
Lin Xiaorou stared at Li Kai in disbelief.
You just bought the entire restaurant.
Li Kai shrugged.
I was hungry.
Her heart skipped a beat.
55 to 68
Zhao Tian's face turned red with rage.
You think money makes you powerful.
Li Kai leaned back in his chair calmly.
Isn't that exactly what you tried to prove.
The rooftop went quiet.
Lin Xiaorou suddenly laughed softly.
For the first time all night.
Above her head
Favorability: 68 to 72
Zhao Tian clenched his fists.
This isn't over.
He stormed out of the restaurant.
But Li Kai didn't even look at him.
The system panel appeared again.

At that moment, Li Kai noticed someone sitting at a nearby table.
A girl with messy hair typing rapidly on a laptop.
She looked young… maybe a college student.
The system scanned her.

But beside him, Lin Xiaorou was still staring at him.
Her eyes were no longer cold.
They were curious.
Very curious.

And rising.
