Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 The Function of the Skill Bar

Li Xuewei lay on her dorm bed, still unable to sleep.

Tonight, all three of her roommates had gone to a social gathering with other male dorms.

She had made an excuse, saying she felt unwell, and didn't go. In reality, she rarely participated in such activities. After all, her family couldn't compare to those of her three roommates; they had practically gone bankrupt to send her to the music academy. Sometimes, if she really couldn't refuse, she would go once.

She was truly glad now that she hadn't gone, otherwise, she would have missed the donation from this Matchstick Tycoon.

A single donation of 2.6 million yuan was rare even for big streamers, let alone a small streamer like her.

Before she even ended her stream, a guild had already contacted her, saying they wanted to promote her, help her climb the ranks, and connect her with a couple of well-known streamers to stimulate this Matchstick Tycoon. Given this tycoon's generosity, a single donation of tens of millions was entirely possible.

Guilds understood the temperaments of these tycoons perfectly. What did tycoons care about most? Of course, it was their face. They absolutely couldn't lose face in front of their favorite streamers. By grasping this point, they could make these tycoons continuously send gifts.

Of course, the guild's purpose in promoting was to 'harvest leeks,' and she wouldn't get any money; in fact, she would even have to share a portion of the 'leeks.'

But Li Xuewei refused. She didn't want to scam Lin Dong's money in such a way, and was even threatened by the other party, who said they would make it impossible for her to continue in the streaming industry.

Li Xuewei didn't know if she would regret doing this, nor did she know if Lin Dong was just acting on a whim.

Also, she had over a million yuan from the revenue share, and she needed to think about how to reasonably use this money to improve her family's conditions.

So, she was destined to have a sleepless night.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong's WeChat Moments was bustling. The post Lin Dong made about the riverside night view had already received over a hundred comments.

It was simply because the angle he shot from was too good; one could tell at a glance that it was taken from a house on the 30th floor or higher of Jiangnan International Mansion.

What kind of place was Jiangnan International Mansion? It was the most expensive property development in the entire Jiangnan Province, starting at 200,000 yuan per square meter, with even a small unit costing at least 50 million yuan.

Lin Dong actually posted photos taken there!

Comment 1: Lin Dong, where did you steal this picture from? Good angle!

Comment 2: Dongzi, are you working part-time as an hourly cleaner here? Can you introduce me? Maybe I can meet some local tycoons and become friends.

Comment 3: Dongzi, have you been taken care of by a rich woman here? Any connections? Bro, I don't want to work hard anymore either.

There were all kinds of comments, but no one suggested that Lin Dong might have bought a house there.

The next day, Lin Dong woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. He got up, washed up, and then walked to the window. Looking at the riverside scenery, Lin Dong still felt like he was dreaming.

"What should I do today?"

"Oh, right, I need to buy a car."

Then Lin Dong suddenly thought, I still don't know how to drive!

What should I do?

Should I find a driver?

Having a driver isn't as satisfying as driving yourself.

And I'm buying a sports car, do I really need a driver?

Isn't this ridiculous?

If I enroll now, it will take at least over a month to learn.

Lin Dong felt that he absolutely couldn't wait for over a month.

Then Lin Dong remembered that there seemed to be a skill tab in the system, where skills could be freely added.

So Lin Dong opened the panel.

He had another Divine Power Point. Last night, he topped up 10 million yuan on Douyin, bringing his total to over 500 million yuan, so he gained another Divine Power Point.

Lin Dong clicked the plus sign next to the skill point and then entered 'Car Driving.'

Immediately after, the system began to load.

A few seconds later.

Lin Dong felt a sudden influx of knowledge in his mind, all related to car driving.

Which one is the brake.

Which one is the accelerator.

Which one is the clutch.

How to start.

How to shift gears.

How to turn.

How to reverse.

This feeling was as if he had personally driven before, and it was incredibly clear.

Lin Dong was excited.

This system was too amazing.

Now he wished he had a car in front of him right away to try it out.

Leaving the International Mansion.

Lin Dong came to Jinye Hotel again.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Zhao Xuan came out to greet him.

"Mr. Lin, breakfast is ready. Please follow me."

Lin Dong felt that this Zhao Xuan was truly capable and had good judgment.

Last night on WeChat, she was calling him "Younger Brother" so intimately, but today she was calling him "Mr. Lin."

Lin Dong found this clear distinction between public and private matters to be very good.

After finishing breakfast, as they walked out of the hotel, Zhao Xuan deliberately leaned close to Lin Dong and whispered in his ear, "Younger Brother Lin Dong, don't forget our agreement!"

That fragrant breath blowing into Lin Dong's ear truly made his heart itch. He cursed inwardly, "You temptress!"

Lin Dong spent another few hundred thousand yuan on a new outfit.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold.

After Lin Dong changed from street vendor clothes to branded ones, he indeed felt a sense of renewal, especially after adding four Divine Power Points to his physique last night.

He looked much more energetic, like a completely different person compared to yesterday.

He was the spitting image of a rich second-generation heir.

If he had worn this outfit to buy a house yesterday, he wouldn't have been left waiting in the lobby for several minutes.

After changing into his new outfit, Lin Dong went to a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

After spotting a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen worth over three million yuan, he paid for it directly and drove it away.

Because he had changed his outfit, he didn't encounter any sales staff looking down on him, nor the scene of him swiping his card to slap their faces.

Driving his newly bought Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, Lin Dong felt no unfamiliarity at all, and immediately thought, this system is truly awesome.

However, there was still one problem: he could drive, but he didn't have a driver's license yet.

How could he get a driver's license?

Among the people he knew, no one seemed to have that kind of ability.

Zhao Xuan?

Lin Dong felt that Zhao Xuan should be able to help, after all, as a lobby manager at an eight-star hotel, she must know people with considerable influence.

So he drove the car directly to the entrance of Jinye Hotel and then called Zhao Xuan.

"Younger Brother Lin Dong, missing Sister Xuan so soon?" Zhao Xuan's magnetic voice came from the phone.

"Sister Xuan, I want to ask you for a favor," Lin Dong said directly, getting straight to the point.

"If there's anything Sister Xuan can help with, just say it. Sister Xuan will never refuse if she can do it."

"Then, Sister Xuan, are you free to talk in person? I'm at the hotel entrance, in a newly bought Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen on the left, it hasn't been registered yet."

"Okay, Younger Brother, wait for me. I'll be right out."

Zhao Xuan hung up the phone and appeared outside Lin Dong's car in less than five minutes.

Zhao Xuan got into the passenger seat and asked, "What help does Younger Brother need from Sister Xuan?"

"I want to get a driver's license. Does Sister Xuan have connections? Money is not an issue!" Lin Dong said directly.

A driver's license? Zhao Xuan felt a little puzzled. How could a super-rich second-generation heir like Lin Dong not have a driver's license at his age? But since he didn't say, she wouldn't ask.

"That shouldn't be difficult! When do you need it?" Zhao Xuan asked.

"The sooner the better!"

"Then give me your ID card. I'll take a picture."

"Okay!"

Lin Dong took out his ID card and handed it to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan took it, took a picture with her phone, and then sent the picture to someone else.

Then she made a call.

"Hello! Sis, I sent you a photo of an ID card. Can you ask Brother-in-law to help me get a driver's license? The sooner the better."

"Mm! Okay, I know. Thank you, Sis, and please thank Brother-in-law for me!"

Zhao Xuan hung up the phone and said to Lin Dong, "You can get it by afternoon at the earliest."

"Mm, thank you, Sister Xuan. How much do I need to pay? I'll transfer it to you."

"What's with all this talk of money? Since you call me Sister Xuan, don't be so polite with me."

"Alright then, Sister Xuan, are you free? Accompany me to a place." Lin Dong no longer stood on ceremony.

"If Younger Brother asks, I'll make time even if I'm busy."

"Then Sister Xuan, buckle up. We're off."

Lin Dong started the car and left Jinye Hotel.
