Qin Hao''s eyes gleamed at the sight of the reward.


    He had previously drawn a Genetic Potion with an agility attribute that permanently increased it by five points, which was truly a treasure.


    He had also drawn a Basic Strength Potion, which was temporary, and in his opinion, it couldn''t hold a candle to the Genetic Potion.@@@@


    Without a second thought, he drank all four bottles of the Genetic Potion, with each attribute gaining five points—a truly terrifying boost.


    This was a one-time use Genetic Potion, and it wouldn''t work again even if he drew it another time.


    He also drew two intrinsic attribute points, which he decided to add to his constitution.


    As for the Piano Skill and Wilderness Survival Skill he drew, they were useless to him.


    He had no intention of venturing into the piano world or playing survival in the primeval forest, so these two skills were as good as chicken ribs to him.


    The Life Potion and Spirit Potion, on the other hand, were quite nice—the kind that could cure diseases and save lives.


    What interested Qin Hao the most, however, was the Laser Pistol.


    Now, every country was researching laser weapons, but they were still in the exploratory and practice stage, with many uncertainties.


    These weapons had yet to be applied in real combat, and many technologies were still immature.


    Laser Pistol: Extremely powerful, strong penetration, effective range of three thousand meters, no recoil, no pollution.


    It can fire fifty laser beams, and recharging takes only ten seconds.


    Upon seeing this, Qin Hao was dumbfounded. Damn, isn''t that power a bit too strong? It''s downright terrifying.


    No wonder it''s a high-tech weapon of the future—if such weaponry becomes widespread in the future, fuck, who could stop it?


    He took the Laser Pistol out of the system backpack, and it felt just right in his hand, very comfortable, and it looked full of technological sense.


    The entire Laser Pistol shimmered silver, with seamless connection technology so advanced it seemed like a single piece even upon close inspection.


    There was also a red dot sight on top of the pistol, so there was no need to worry about accuracy even at long distances.


    Qin Hao was somewhat reluctant to put it down and admired it for a while before storing it back in the system backpack.


    At the same time, he opened his character attribute panel to take a look:


    Name: Qin Hao


    Age: 19


    Gender: Male


    Realm: Ordinary person


    Strength: 37


    Agility: 25


    Upon hearing the notification, Qin Hao replied, "I''ll watch for a little while longer, then sleep."


    Xia Qing: "Brother A, thank you for your support. I''m really touched. Without you, there wouldn''t be the me of today.


    My parents were recently scammed out of a lot of money in a construction project, and our family incurred a lot of debt.


    Last month, I earned over ten million, which is enough to pay off all our debts and also to provide a better life for my parents. Thank you, Brother A."


    Qin Hao replied with a smile, "Don''t mention it. How could I resist being attracted to you?"


    Xia Qing: "Hehe, if Brother A likes me, just say it. I don''t have a boyfriend right now; you have a chance."


    She had made up her mind now; once she received her income on the tenth, she would repay Qin Hao and then wish him and Du Wanrou happiness.


    Afterward, she wanted to try and get to know Brother A. She felt that Spade A was a good person, but she wasn''t sure if he''d be interested in her.


    From that first sentence: "The finest sword is forged in the strongest fire; the scent of plum blossoms comes from the bitterness of winter."


    To the silent companionship and generous support in her live streams every night, she was touched whenever she thought about it.


    Although Spade A rarely initiated conversations with her, she believed that his daily presence in her live stream room meant he must have some interest in her.


    Silent companionship is the most enduring declaration of love.


    ...


    After chatting for a while, Qin Hao went to sleep.


    After ending the live stream, Xia Qing lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep as all sorts of thoughts jumped around in her mind.


    For instance: What if Brother Spade A is an old man? Could he be a playboy? What kind of person is he, really?


    It was a clear case of anxiety syndrome at the prospect of meeting an online friend.


    Engulfed in her bewildering thoughts, she eventually fell asleep.


    Qin Hao had a dream that night; he dreamt of Xia Qing, and even dreamt they did that kind of thing!


    At five-thirty in the morning, his phone alarm went off.


    He went downstairs to find Han Meng already up, standing in front of the ground floor''s floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the nearby sea.


    As she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned, her face breaking into a shy smile: "Xiao Hao, you''re awake."


    Qin Hao nodded, "Meng Jie, why are you up so early?"


    Han Meng: "I just finished cooking; go wash up and eat something."


    "You don''t have to get up so early, Meng Jie, I could eat when I get back," Qin Hao felt a warmth in his heart.


    Han Meng: "How can you leave the house in the morning without eating? Come on; eat now, or you''ll be late."
