It had been an hour since Su Zhen arrived back home.

At this moment, he was sitting on the couch and looking at his profile on his phone. Nothing really changed much except for the increase in progress of the second task.

These two tasks were really not hard, and with more than 50 million left in his account, he could complete them easily. However, he didn't want to complete the first task now, after all, his house was still being decorated, so if he bought a car, where should he park the car for the sake of convenience? But he would be able to do this task three days later.

Since he would buy cars later, why not find his favorite car now?

But just as Su Zhen was thinking about which car to buy, his phone rang and a string of familiar numbers appeared on the screen.

After pressing the answer button, a soft and nice female voice sounded immediately.

"Hello sir, are you Mr. Su?"

"I am, and you are?"

"Let me introduce myself, my surname is Chu and I am the service manager of ICBC bank Fuzhou City branch. It's like this, sir, according to our assessment of your assets, our back sincerely invites you to apply for the Centurion Black Card. If I may ask, do you want to apply now?"

The other side spoke neither slowly nor fastly, just at the right pace.

'Centurion Black Card?'

Su Zhen had heard about this card as well.

There weren't any income requirements per se to be able to get this card, but he most likely needed to be a high spender on his card. However, the general rule of thumb was anywhere from 2 million yuan to 4 million yuan in annual spending.

Not just that, there was also an exclusive professional service assigned to each member to provide them with maximum convenience in managing their wealth together with exclusive privileges, bringing them with prestige lifestyle.

Su Zhen also knew that with this card, the upper limit of the daily transaction would be lifted as well, and if a big transaction was made, he didn't need to wait for the call of the service from the bank anymore.

Su Zhen just spent 60 million yuan to buy a villa not long ago, so it was natural for them to call him.

Noticing that Su Zhen was silent, the service manager naturally took the initiative to explain it to him, "Mr. Su, let me elaborate on the advantage…"

But before she could finish her words, Su Zhen interrupted her, "It's fine, I know what it is, just register my name directly. Is there anything more?"

The service manager hurriedly replied, "No sir, I apologize for the disturbance. When the card is ready, I will notify you via messaging through this number, and we will have to trouble you to go to our branch to receive the card at that time. If you have any questions, you can contact me via this number and I will be at your service 24/7, I wish you a good day."

After hanging up the phone, Su Zhen started to look for cars with a price of 10 million yuan and above.

When it came to cars, it could be said that Su Zhen was not an expert at all. However, he still had some understanding of them, after all, the motorcycle community encompassed a very wide range of people from all walks of life, so it was inevitable that he came across people who loved both cars and motorcycles.

Of course, the same went for the car community. Therefore, in terms of the performance of cars, Su Zhen could easily understand it.

Based on Su Zhen's understanding of car drivers in general, excluding sports or performance drivers, they were interested in three things, comfort, convenience, and safety. They did not see a twisty road or technical section of asphalt as fun.

Motorcycle riders in general, excluding commuters who based their choice only on cost, saw a twisted ribbon of asphalt as fun and something to be cherished. From Su Zhen's personal experience, he also felt the temperature changes while riding, plus the variety of fragrances in the world. But most of all, Su Zhen actually pursued the ultimate of excitement when riding motorcycles.

In conclusion, now, when it was time to buy cars, Su Zhen, of course, chose to buy performance cars or sports cars. Most men actually had a love for cars in their bones, Su Zhen was the same, it was just that in the past, he was not financially allowed to own one, but now, it was different.

Therefore, since the task asking him to own cars appeared, he might as well collect good cars and motorcycles as well.

As soon as he typed in the words and pressed the search button, many results appeared on the browser.

Many types of cars appeared on the list, and after looking through it for a while, the first car that entered Su Zhen's eyes was the Ferrari LaFerrari, which was priced at around 10 million yuan or around 1.5 million US dollars as its base price.

This car debuted in 2013, with over 900 horsepower and a top speed of around 354 kilometers per hour, and to date, there were only 499 units being built which were followed by 210 units of the open-top Aperta model.

This model line was quite hard to buy. When it was first released, to get one, people basically needed the invitation to buy it from Ferrari themselves.

Overall, even if Su Zhen had money, it was still not so easy to get his hands on this rare model. Of course, it was another matter if he had the connections.

After Su Zhen browsed through this model for a while, he started to get more and more interested in it.

Compared to his Ducati Panigale 959 which could start from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, the Ferrari LaFerrari could hit 60 mph in only 2.5 seconds, faster than this Ducati by 0.3 seconds. However, as the speed went up, the difference between the two would only become more and more obvious. From 0 to 100 mph, the Ferrari LaFerrari needed 4.8 seconds, but his bike needed as many as 6.1 seconds to go from 0 to only 80 mph.

Aside from that, the Ferrari LaFerrari looked like some sort of a red spaceship which made it the best car that Ferrari had ever made not just in looks but in performance as well, after all, it was powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 paired to an electric motor and kinetic energy recovery system or KERS. Of course, only through this system could the Ferrari LaFerrari obtain over 900 horsepower.

In major review sites, this hybrid hypercar was mostly given a positive rating, which further strengthened Su Zhen's determination to own this car.

After a while, Su Zhen moved past the Ferrari LaFerrari and went on to look for other cars.

Soon, Su Zhen came across a particularly beautiful supercar, the McLaren P1.

As one of McLaren's most classic models, its price was also sky-high. In the world, there were only 375 units, and the domestic guide price was 12.6 million yuan, but this amount of money could be "earned" by Su Zhen in less than two weeks.

Su Zhen continued to inspect this car.

The black and white color scheme bisected the low front face, the lower part of the front bumper was a flat spoiler lip, the rear was a flat chassis, and the shark fin spoiler in the front of the front wheel presented a wonderful curve.

Although it was only a model, it was still like a black and white shark that dominated a major part of the water world and hunted down its prey.

This supercar had more than 900 horsepower, with the same acceleration as the Ferrari LaFerrari, it took 2.8 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. Its top speed was restricted by the computer to 350 kmh, and the unrestricted top speed was over 380 kmh, which was faster than the Ferrari LaFerrari.

It was also equipped with a 3.8L V8 engine with a maximum power of 737 horsepower. But through the KERS, an additional power of 179 horsepower would be obtained and thus gaining over 900 horsepower.

Soon, this McLaren P1 also fell into Su Zhen's wish list.

Now that he had two cars in mind, Su Zhen only needed one more car to complete the first task.

But the thing was, he already had two supercars on his list, so he wanted to consider buying a sedan or SUV instead. But again, he already had one sedan car, which was the BMW 6-series, hence, only SUV was left.

As soon as he thought of this, the first brand that came to his mind was the Rolls-Royce series.

This year, Rolls-Royce released several luxurious series such as the Wraith, the Ghost, the Dawn, the Cullinan, and the Phantom. Among these series, the 2019 Phantom series was the most expensive as its price was as high as 3 million yuan, while others were only priced at around 2 million yuan.

However, not long ago, Klassen, a German tuning company, just unveiled a new armored version of the Cullinan that could withstand bullets and grenades, and this modified Rolls-Royce Cullinan was exactly within Su Zhen's range of consideration.
