I had nothing to do. So I thought, why not go and get this task done," Lin Hao said calmly, his tone casual but firm as always.
"Nice. I should get started with the paperwork. Oh! Would you be buying the one we rented you or a new one?" Manager Wang asked, looking eager yet professional.
"I think I would be buying a new one, but with the same features. Is it available?" Lin Hao asked in return, nodding lightly.
"Yeah. It is," Manager Wang replied, his face brightening with excitement. "Mr. Lin, follow me. I'll take you to see your awesome Big G."
Lin Hao gave a small nod of satisfaction and followed behind.
The two walked across the glossy marble floor of the dealership, where the soft scent of leather and motor oil mingled in the air. Neon lights reflected off the sleek bodies of various luxury cars, creating a symphony of colors — black, silver, pearl white, and metallic blue.
Manager Wang led him to a separate display area surrounded by transparent glass panels. Behind them, standing proudly under a spotlight, was a beast of pure power and prestige — the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Special Edition AMG V12.
The matte obsidian black body shimmered subtly under the lights, every curve exuding dominance and precision. The front grille, plated with dark chrome, bore the iconic Mercedes emblem that gleamed like a king's crown. The massive 23-inch forged alloy wheels carried red brake calipers engraved with the AMG insignia, and the side exhaust pipes whispered of unrestrained horsepower waiting to be unleashed.
Manager Wang stood beside it with a proud smile. "This, Mr. Lin, is the G-Class AMG V12 Special Edition — one of only thirty units available in all of China. Each one is handcrafted, customized from Stuttgart's factory, and personally inspected by AMG's chief engineer before shipping. The exterior color is called Phantom Obsidian, and the engine—"
He placed his hand reverently on the hood, "—is a 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 capable of pushing out 720 horsepower with a peak torque of 1,000 Nm. Zero to a hundred in just 3.9 seconds, and that's for a vehicle that weighs nearly three tons."
Lin Hao stepped closer, his fingers brushing along the door frame. The metal felt cool and alive, as if humming with restrained strength.
"The paintwork is flawless," Lin Hao commented quietly. "And the rims… these are custom, aren't they?"
"Sharp eyes, Mr. Lin," Manager Wang said, impressed. "Those are Matte Titanium AMG forged wheels, exclusive to this limited edition. Even the stitching inside the cabin is done by hand — nappa leather, triple diamond pattern. Oh, and one more thing…"
He gestured for Lin Hao to step inside.
The moment Lin Hao opened the door, a rush of that familiar new-car scent filled the air — rich leather, subtle cologne, and the faint hint of machine oil. The interior glowed softly under ambient lighting strips that lined the dashboard and doors, shifting colors from deep blue to crimson.
"This is… luxury and power fused perfectly," Lin Hao murmured, running his hand over the black and red leather steering wheel. The engraved AMG logo shimmered faintly under the cabin light.
Manager Wang nodded enthusiastically. "Indeed, Mr. Lin. This model even comes with the AMG Night Package, bulletproof side windows, and a custom suspension designed to adapt to Chinese road conditions. The sound system — Burmester 3D Surround — has twenty speakers that make even classical music feel like a live performance. This car is made for someone who commands attention but values privacy."
Lin Hao chuckled softly, glancing at his reflection in the tinted glass. "That sounds just right."
He took a seat in the driver's position, and as the engine started, the deep growl of the V12 filled the hall — low, powerful, intoxicating. It wasn't just a car; it was a statement.
Manager Wang's eyes sparkled. "So, Mr. Lin… what do you think?"
Lin Hao smiled faintly, the corner of his lips curving with quiet satisfaction. "I'll take it."
"Excellent choice!" Manager Wang said, almost clapping his hands together. "I'll have the paperwork ready immediately. And since this is a special edition model, we'll include complimentary first-year maintenance and premium insurance — a token of appreciation for our most distinguished customer."
Lin Hao nodded lightly. "Make it quick. I'll handle the payment right now."
Manager Wang could hardly contain his excitement as he hurried off toward his office, leaving Lin Hao standing beside the car — the dark machine that seemed to echo his own transformation.
Once, he couldn't even afford rent.
Now, he was buying a limited edition Big G worth millions, like it was just another errand in his day.
He smiled faintly to himself.
"Yeah," he murmured, brushing his hand along the hood. "This… suits me better."
...
After about thirty minutes, Lin Hao and Manager Wang were seated inside the manager's spacious glass-walled office. The faint hum of the showroom could be heard outside, muffled by the thick carpet underfoot. On the polished mahogany desk lay a neat stack of documents, a steaming cup of tea, and the key fob of Lin Hao's brand-new Big G Special Edition.
"I'll pay by card," Lin Hao said calmly, pulling out his sleek black card from his wallet.
Manager Wang's eyes lit up instantly. "No worries, Mr. Lin. I'll have the machine brought right away."
He gestured toward the door, and a salesman quickly entered carrying a portable card swipe machine. The young man placed it gently on the table and stepped aside respectfully.
Lin Hao inserted his card, entered his PIN, and in a few seconds—
Beep.
The soft sound confirmed the transaction. A notification popped up on Lin Hao's phone screen — several million RMB gone in an instant. But to him, it was just another step toward the life he was destined for.
Manager Wang checked the receipt, smiled brightly, and said, "All done, Mr. Lin. Payment received successfully. I'll process the registration immediately, and your documents will be ready in two days. But since this vehicle is already pre-registered as a display unit, you can drive it away right now."
Lin Hao nodded, picking up the keys. "Good. I'll be taking it now, then."
"Of course, of course!" Manager Wang said, his tone both polite and excited. "It's always a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Lin. I hope you'll continue to favor our dealership in the future."
Lin Hao stood up, buttoned his jacket, and extended a hand. "You've been helpful, Manager Wang. I'll remember that."
The manager quickly shook his hand with both of his, smiling earnestly. "You honor us with your patronage."
After a few more minutes of light conversation and formalities, Lin Hao finally stepped out of the office. The late afternoon sunlight poured through the glass walls, reflecting off the polished floor and glinting on the glossy black body of his new G-Class AMG V12 Special Edition waiting outside.
Sliding into the driver's seat, he gripped the steering wheel and exhaled softly.
The smooth leather felt warm under his hands, the faint scent of new upholstery still lingering in the cabin.
He pressed the ignition.
Vroom—
The low, thunderous roar of the engine reverberated through the dealership. Heads turned. The staff couldn't help but look in admiration as the black beast slowly rolled forward, its exhaust letting out a deep growl like a waking lion.
Manager Wang stood near the entrance, waving politely as Lin Hao drove past. "Drive safe, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Hao gave a light nod through the tinted window and steered the car out of the dealership.
Now,there were only 140 million RMB left in his bank account.Though,it hurts to spend money like this but now that he has a system he seems to become a bit more daring.
Yeah! This car costed about 10 million RMB.
"But it is worth the price."Lin Hao said while stepping on the acceleration.The car's powerful hum followed him as he navigated through the traffic of Shanghai. Yet, even as he enjoyed the quiet luxury, a thought lingered in the back of his mind — tonight was special.
The system's reward refresh would occur at midnight.
Although he already knew the next update wouldn't show him the options anymore, he was certain that whatever came next would still be worth something — and maybe, just maybe, it would let him cross his ten-billion goal.
A faint smile curved on his lips as he maneuvered past slower cars. "Another night, another surprise. Let's see what you've got for me this time, System."
