Chapter 39 Two Million Monthly Salary, Anyone?

At Level 5, the Life Winner System brought in a blessing income of ¥0.8 per second. That’s ¥48 per minute, ¥2,880 per hour, nearly ¥70,000 a day, and over ¥2 million a month!

So, is An Liang now a big shot with a two-million-a-month salary?

And it’s not like he has to do anything—he’s basically lying down and winning!

Life Winner System, let’s go!

After checking out the system upgrade info, An Liang returned to the Amanyangyun Hotel in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. He planned to complete another task there.

Around 5 PM, An Liang stood in the ancient camphor forest at Amanyangyun and lifted his left hand in a “touching the forest” gesture, making sure to show off the Patek Philippe 5160/500G-001 on his wrist.

He used his right hand to take several photos with his phone, finally picking the best one—one that clearly showed off the Patek Philippe and captured the lush greenery of the forest.

After double-checking that the Patek Philippe was identifiable in the photo, he opened WeChat to post on his Moments feed.

This post, of course, was a not-so-subtle clapback at He Siming, who had previously shown off a Longines moonphase watch in his own Moments post. It was also meant to fulfill a task from the Life Winner System.

“Xijiang Ancient Village perfectly blending into the bustling magic city…”

An Liang carefully crafted the caption, attached the photo, added the Amanyangyun location, and—as always—skillfully hid the post from his family group before posting it.

Once the post went up, his high school classmates were quick to hit the like button. Zhou Kang even dropped a comment that nailed the point:

“I’m stunned! Amanyangyun! Patek Philippe 5160/500G-001! Bro Liang, can I just get one leg hair? Just one!!”

Although Zhou Kang didn’t mention the price of the Patek Philippe, he had clearly stated the brand and model. And with that info, who couldn’t Google the price?

Li Xiyan also liked An Liang’s post. She knew An Liang wasn’t flaunting his wealth. She meant, if he really wanted to show off, wouldn’t driving a Porsche 911 Turbo S be more effective?

She guessed his real purpose—it was a response to He Siming’s earlier flex of the Longines. So, now An Liang was flexing back? Of course, He Siming saw the post.

When he posted his Longines moonphase, he had specifically hidden it from An Liang. But now An Liang had posted a million-yuan ultra-luxury watch, and even though nothing was said in the class group, He Siming still felt his cheeks burning.

He Siming was fuming internally. He had hidden his post from An Liang, so why did An Liang still have to post this kind of thing? Even if he didn’t mention him, it still felt like a direct hit!

If An Liang knew what He Siming was thinking, he’d absolutely say, “Have some confidence, dude—drop the ‘felt like.’ I was aiming at you.”

An Liang didn’t say anything in the class group, but Zhou Kang—ever the loudmouth—was doing all the flexing on his behalf.

In the class group of Class 6, Grade 12, Zhou Kang was dropping facts.

“That Patek Philippe An Liang’s wearing has a list price of ¥1.27 million, and with how Patek Philippe operates, it’s basically never discounted.”

He continued, “If Longines is the entry-level for affordable luxury, then Patek Philippe is the final boss of watches!”

“In the world of watches, Patek Philippe is at the absolute pinnacle!”

He Siming was losing it. Especially after Zhou Kang pointed out Longines by name—was that a direct dig at him?

He could maybe accept being overshadowed by An Liang, but Zhou Kang? No way!

At first, He Siming wanted to let it slide. But then Zhou Kang kept going on, saying things like how Longines was “the poor man’s Patek Philippe.”

That comparison sent He Siming into rage mode.

“@Zhou Kang: What kind of watch do you wear?” He Siming fired back.

Zhou Kang didn’t flinch.

“So I need to own something to have an opinion on it?”

“What, I have to buy something before I can talk about it?”

“Sir, it’s the 21st century. The Qing dynasty is long gone!”

An Liang watched the exchange and decided to jump in to support Zhou Kang.

“I think Zhou Kang made a fair point. Honestly, I don’t know much about Patek Philippe, or watches in general.”

He Siming felt like throwing up.

An Liang didn’t know about Patek Philippe?

Then turned around and bought a Patek worth over a million?

Yeah right.
