There were four ballrooms on the first floor of the hotel.
In the first ballroom, which was the closest to the gate, Chen Chuan saw He Jinglan in a white bridesmaid dress with delicate makeup.
When they were about 10 steps apart, Chen Chuan slowed down and looked at He Jinglan.
“He Jinglan?” he asked.
He Jinglan pressed her lips together and smiled. She then lifted her dress with her hands, and said, “Who else could it be? How do I look?”
She turned around, her shiny high-heeled sandals lightly stepped on the hotel floor tiles. As she twirled around gracefully, her dress bloomed like a flower as its blue silk fluttered.
“Beautiful,” said Chen Chuan, putting down the red packet at the reception counter.
“Chen Chuan, a classmate of the bride’s cousin,” Chen Chuan said to the receptionist who was recording.
The receptionist opened the red packet, counted the money, and wrote in her notebook, Chen Chuan, 2000.
After the ceremony, he saw He Jinglan standing on the opposite side, glaring at him, “This is boring. I invited you so you could have a nice meal. I’ll refund you the money when we go back to school.”
“This is for the newlyweds, not for you. So don’t say that you’ll refund it, it’s unlucky,” said Chen Chuan.
“Hmph, how’s the trip going these days? Have you become lost and confused because you’re not familiar with the area and don’t have anyone to guide you?” He Jinglan walked towards him and asked with a smile.
“It’s not bad. There are a lot of attractions here. It is worthy of being called an internet-famous tourist city. Isn’t it good if you were to further your studies here? Yet you still go all the way to Haiqin City, which is such a remote area,” said Chen Chuan.
He Jinglan glared at him again and said, “Hmph, if I don’t go to Haiqin City, would you get to know me? Or do you mean that you don’t want to know me?”
Chen Chuan was dumbfounded. She had a weird perspective.
Nevertheless, He Jinglan’s eyeshadow was very suitable for her peachy eyes. Whether she opened them wide or narrowed them while smiling, it looked great on her.
“I’ll give you another chance, repeat what you said,” He Jinglan said.
“It’s fortunate that you went to Haiqin City so that I can have such a beautiful class monitor. Thank God,” said Chen Chuan.
“Hahaha, you’re smart.” He Jinglan smiled as she covered her mouth happily.
“He Jinglan—come here!” A woman shouted in the distance.
Chen Chuan glanced over and saw the beautiful girls in white dresses waving their hands.
He Jinglan said, “Your seat is at table 6. You can go there first, and later… I have something for you. I’ll go ahead first.”
She ran away while carrying her dress, then turned around and said, “When I finish my work, I’ll be your tour guide!”
Chen Chuan went to table 6. The table was full of young people who were talking and laughing while some were playing with their mobile phones.
He chatted a bit with the person next to him and learned that they were all He Jinglan’s middle and high school classmates, and most of them were girls.
“Hey, you don’t sound like a local based on your accent. You have a northern accent?” the girl next to him asked.
“Yea, I’m He Jinglan’s university classmate,” said Chen Chuan.
“Huh? Didn’t the freshman year just start? You’re so familiar with her already that you are here for the wedding banquet?” The girl was surprised.
“No, I happened to be here traveling.”
Chen Chuan chatted with the person next to him.
Suddenly.
“[Random Mission Box of Millions] triggered, current environment detected, triggering mission— [Clothes Make a Man Just as a Saddle Makes a Horse, While a Dog With A Bell is a Happy Dog]. You need to wear formal clothes to attend this wedding banquet. After the wedding banquet is over, you will gain a passive skill [Cool Overlord].”
[PS: The price of the suit shall not be less than 30,000 yuan]
Wow, there was a random mission again.
This [Random Mission Box of Millions] was really worth it. Even though it cost 1 million to open the Heaven and Earth bag, and 3 million to buy this item, with the 10,000 yuan that he had to give the piano master last night, it looked like the [Liszt’s Piano Inheritance] he had obtained last night was priceless!
In fact, a gifted child would start learning the piano from the age of four, and he would have spent hundreds of thousands to learn piano by the age of 10. If he continued to learn to achieve something, he would have needed to spend millions.
Chen Chuan got up from table 6 and walked out of the hotel.
It was 11:20 am, so there was still time before the wedding at noon.
Chen Chuan walked outside, got into the car, and said to Wu Jiayi, “Go to the nearest mall.”
“Why?”
“To buy a suit,” said Chen Chuan.
Wu Jiayi looked at Chen Chuan and said astonishedly, “What? You’re not allowed to attend wedding banquets in sweaters these days?”
…
Squeak!
The car stopped in front of a shopping mall.
It was definitely too late to custom make a suit due to the time constraint.
Chen Chuan had to buy a ready-made suit from a high-end brand store in the mall. After walking around for a bit, he was attracted to a black suit from Zegna.
The salesperson praised, “Your figure is better than the model, you’ll look dreamy in this suit. It looks like it’s custom-made for you. Look at the cutting, fabric, craftsmanship, and details, then look at your temperament, your aura…don’t you feel even better than a celebrity? The price is 31,282 yuan, the mall is having an event now so there’ll be a 5% discount. The price after the discount is 29,717 yuan and it’ll be 29,700 yuan after rounding it up.”
Chen Chuan looked in the mirror. The suit really looked good.
His body had been reshaped by the [Body Mounding Fruit] and could completely support the suit’s wool fabric, which made him feel like a superhuman. It was as if he could fly if he just raised his arms and did a superhuman pose. If the saleswoman had not been staring at him continuously, he would have tried raising his arm.
“Don’t give me a discount, I’ll take it at its original price. You can give me a shirt for free instead,” said Chen Chuan.
After all, the mission required a formal suit with the price of at least 30,000 yuan.
However, the shirts were not cheap, with a basic style that cost more than 3,000 yuan.
After finally agreeing on the discount, Chen Chuan paid a total of 32,000 yuan.
There was no requirement for leather shoes for this mission.
When he went downstairs, he passed by a Tardini store and bought a pair of alligator leather shoes for 30,999. There were also sunglasses for sale in the store, so he bought one for 8,000. After paying for them, the system also gave him a double cash return.
His whole outfit was no worse than a top star’s. If he were to hire a few bodyguards to pretend to stop fans, there might even be fans who would come to ask for an autograph.
If one had to point out an odd part, it would definitely be that wooden sword.
A guy in a cool black suit and black sunglasses could carry an appropriate bag, but a wooden knife looked too nerdy.
Next to the Tardini store was a musical instrument store.
Chen Chuan stood outside and looked at the violin, cello, guzheng, erhu, etc. inside.
If he were to buy a musical instrument, he could put the [Four Dreams of Linchuan] in its case. Then, carrying the wooden sword around in the case would not look too odd.
He looked around and found that the violin was too short and the cello was too big, so only the erhu was suitable.
The storekeeper saw Chen Chuan wearing black sunglasses and looking at the erhu on the wall. She could not help but stretch out her hand and waved it in front of him. Seeing that he turned to look at her, she blushed instantly and hurriedly said, “No, sorry, I thought you were…”
“Give me the longest erhu here,” said Chen Chuan.
“This is a collectible erhu produced by Hanyue Workshop. It’s made of scented rosewood using the traditional wood polishing process to give it a warm feeling. This python-like skin is filled with scales in a regular arrangement, which was hand-carved by a master. Look at this crescent-shaped head, this natural old rosewood has fine texture…The price is 123,858 yuan,” The shopkeeper introduced.
“I only care about the length, I want the longest one,” Chen Chuan requested.
“This erhu case is 112 cm long…”
“Then this is it.”
Chen Chuan had decided. The erhu was 123,858 yuan and the handmade case was 1,500 yuan. The store gave a discount, so the total was 123,000 yuan.
“You spent 123,000 yuan and got a double cash return of 246,000 yuan.”
After making the payment, he opened the erhu case, put the wooden sword in it, placed it next to the erhu, and closed the case. He carried it in his hand and walked two steps. Chen Chuan looked at himself in the mirror and saw a suit, sunglasses, erhu, and a wooden sword. It was as if he was in the melody, ‘Moon Reflected on the Second Spring’.
Back in the car, the effect from the black suit and sunglasses may have been too overbearing. Wu Jiayi stared at him blankly and dared not even take a bigger breath.
“Let’s go,” Chen Chuan said concisely.
Back at the hotel.
He walked into the lobby and into the ballroom. Perhaps the visual effect of the suit was too overbearing, or maybe he just looked like a blind man with sunglasses. Nonetheless, whoever he passed by would become quiet.
