"Okay, Mr. Farlier. The three of you can sit here for a while."
Instead of introducing the watches right away, Sherry led the three of them to the sofa and asked them to sit on the sofa in the reception area, and asked: "What do the three of you want to drink?"
"A glass of ice water will do." Arthur replied.
"A cup of black tea, please." Feng Yang said, looking at the store environment with much interest.
Soon, Sherry brought a cup of ice water and a cup of black tea.
Feng Yang took a sip of the tea and was pleasantly surprised by the unexpectedly good taste.
Sherry smiled and said: "I don't know if Mr. Farlier has a preferred watch model?"
Arthur shook his head and said: "No I don't have. Please recommend some models!"
Sherry nodded and after some pondering, she said. "At Mr. Farlier's age, I don't recommend formal watches because they are too meticulous and solemn, which is not in line with Mr. Farlier's current style. If I guess it right, Mr. Farlier should still be in university. Men at this phase of their lives represent youth, always yearning for adventure, and full of excitement. So, I recommend for you a sports watch."
Sherry is worthy of being an employee of the flagship store. She speaks with much eloquence and is a good judge of character.
After pausing for a second, Sherry continued: "Speaking of sports watches, we recommend our Vacheron Constantin Overseas series. It is without exaggeration to say that the Overseas series is tailored for men like Mr. Farlier's age. It fits your temperament perfectly."
"Can I take a look?" Arthur asked.
"Of course, you can all come with me!" Sherry smiled slightly.
Before coming to the showroom, Sherry took out three watches and introduced them in sequence. "Mr. Farlier, please take a look. This is our Vacheron Constantin Overseas series."
The moment the three watches were presented to Arthur, he immediately took and held one of them. He was attracted to that one watch and ignored the other two.
The case of the watch is silver-white throughout, but the dial is royal blue like a calm lake, looking so elegant. But its shape gives people a kind of impact, like that of a turbulent ocean.
The strange but perfect combination captured Arthur's attention in an instant.
Seeing Arthur holding a watch in his hand, Sherry introduces: "The model of this watch is 7900V/11…"
Arthur waved his hand and interrupted: "No need for introduction, how much is it?"
In fact, the configuration of top-level watches is almost the same, and the cost does not differ much even those of the other top-level brands. Arthur doesn't know much about watches even if Sherry introduces it, he wouldn't understand.
The most important thing for him is that he likes it. That's enough.
So Arthur asked the price directly, and if the price is right, he would buy it directly!
Sherry was taken aback for a moment: "Uh…"
Then she said hurriedly: "The current price of this watch is 224,000."
'224,000?' Feng Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.
However, Arthur's next words shocked him.
"Okay, I will buy it!"
Arthur took out his bank card from his wallet and handed it over.
There is only 230,000 on his bank card. If it were more expensive, he really can't afford it.
Sherry's smile at this moment became even more wide.
After being with the Vacheron Constantin flagship store for so many years, she has only met two to three bold customers just like Arthur.
"Mr. Farlier, please pay here."
Arthur followed Sherry to make the payment and at the same time began to look into the system.
[Ding!]
[You spent 224,000 yuan, Do you want to use the [Critical Consumption Rebate Card? ]
"Okay!"
Without hesitation, he just confirmed it.
[ You have successfully used the [Critical Consumption Rebate Card], and the rebate will be issued after you complete the consumption!]
It seems that this system is very prudent and won't give him any chance to exploit loopholes.
…
After Arthur swiped his bank card to pay, the reward followed immediately.
[Ding!]
[The consumption crit is 380%, and the rebate amount is 851,200 yuan!]
'380%?'
'Seems I am in good luck. I bought a watch, but I made more than 600,000 yuan.'
In addition, his level has also successfully risen to LV3.
...
[Host: Arthur Farlier
Grade: LV3
LV3 Privilege Reward: Every time you blink, you will get 0.4 yuan.
Upgrade experience: 0/1,000,000 (Experience points can only be obtained through spending, not through loans or money earned!)

Props: None
Skill: [Driving a Ferrari with one hand]; [Gay-dar identification Aura]

…
After the level is upgraded to LV3, the amount obtained doubled again and became 0.4 yuan.
The daily income has also changed from 3,800 to 7,600.
That will be more than 200,000 yuan a month which is one step closer to the Ferrari!
The system shop was also successfully opened, but the merchandise in it made Arthur a little confused.
But Arthur decided to wait until he gets back to the hotel and studies it slowly.
At this time, sherry asked: "Mr. Farlier, do you want to wear the watch now or shall I pack it for you?"
"I will wear it now!"
"Okay!"
Sherry smiled and nodded then picked up the watch and gently put it on Arthur.
Looking at the watch on his wrist and feeling the slight coolness coming from it, Arthur smiled and was very satisfied. "Looks very good. Thank you for your recommendation."
"It is my honor to be able to serve you." Sherry said humbly and then continued: "In addition, we will give you two straps for free, one made of crocodile leather, and the other of rubber, to ensure that you can wear it in any environment. You can wear it to match your clothes for any occasion."
After putting the gift strap in the box, she also put her business card inside and smiled: "Mr. Farlier, if you have any question about the watch in the future, you can always contact me."
"Finally, I sincerely thank you for choosing Vacheron Constantin. We guarantee that this will be your most satisfying shopping experience."
Holding the shopping bag, Arthur said to Feng Yang: "I am finished. Let's go!"
Feng Yang looked curiously. He looked at the watch and wondered: "Arthur, why did you think of buying a watch? I remembered you didn't wear a watch before."
Arthur then joked: "It is too plain to drive a Ferrari with one hand, so I bought a watch to decorate it."
Speaking of a Ferrari, Feng Yang recalled suddenly the last time riding together with Arthur in the bus station and become slightly absent-minded.
...
Walking out of the Vacheron Constantin flagship store, Arthur fanned the wind with his hand and asked, "It's too hot. Feng Yang, do you already have any place to stay?"
"Well… I am now thinking of finding a random hotel."
Feng Yang hesitated a little and replied.
"If you don't mind, why don't you stay with me? We both are men together, right? Besides, the weather in the afternoon is just too hot and such a scorching sun can cause people to get heatstroke. Finding a hotel now will be too time-consuming." Arthur suggested.
His suggestion is really logical and helpful. But Feng Yang didn't know why but he felt like he is hearing a devil's whisper.
In the end, Feng Yang still agreed to bother Arthur.
The hotel Arthur booked is Four Seasons Hotel, which is considered an old five-star hotel in Shanghai. He booked a room in advance before he left home.
He chose the Four Seasons Hotel because of its good location.
Four Seasons Hotel is located in the prosperous Jing'an Weihai Road. It is a commercial road just outside the hotel. Four Seasons Hotel is very close to RM Plaza, MD Grand Theater, and MD Museum. It can be reached within a few hundred meters by foot. The Taikoo Hui Mall is opposite the hotel, which makes shopping more convenient.
For Arthur, who is visiting Shanghai for the first time, the Four Seasons Hotel is his first choice.
Under the scorching sun, the three quickly arrived at Four Seasons Hotel.
As soon as they walked into the hotel, a young lady in uniform greeted them.
The lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel is decorated luxuriously but it lacks a bright ambiance to it. But overall, it is not bad. The hotel staffs are very enthusiastic. Even the aunt in charge of cleaning smiled and greeted them with a good afternoon.
Arthur booked a deluxe room for 2,499 a day with breakfast.
The price is not bad, not so high for a five-star hotel.
After checking in, the three of them were lead by a young lady to the elevator and to the room on the 20th floor.
The area of the entire room was not as big as Arthur had imagined, only less than 40 square meters, which is like a standard suite. The only thing special was a small bar equipped with a small refrigerator.
"Sir, if you need anything, just use the voice message in the room. I wish you a good rest." said the young lady who closed the door gently.
After entering the room, the first thing that Arthur did was to turn on the air conditioner.
As for Feng Yang, he slumped directly on the sofa.
Walking a few hundred meters in such hot weather feels even more tiring than jogging for a few kilometers.
Arthur opened the small refrigerator and asked: "What do you want to drink?"
"Anything!"
Arthur handed the cold water to the him then he sat on the sofa and let out a sigh. "It seems that this kind of weather is not so suitable for traveling."
Having surfed the internet for some tourist attractions for a while, Arthur suddenly said to Feng Yang with much interest.
"There's an Open-air Bar nearby! That sounds interesting. I will go and have a look at it tonight. Wanna go together?".
Feng Yang didn't like the idea and blurted out: "You are not allowed to go!"
After speaking, he hurriedly reconstructed his words. He took a sip of water to hide his embarrassment and explained: "I mean, I want to go too. I haven't been to a bar yet, so I want to go and see."
Feng Yang didn't know what was wrong with him. He just heard from Arthur that he planned to go to the bar. Imagine the scene in which Arthur goes alone and entangled with unknown strangers at the bar, Feng Yang felt like breathing fire.
Arthur smiled lightly and glanced at Feng Yang at the corner of his eyes. However, if one pays attention, he could definitely see his smile is a little bit wicked than usual. Arthur seems to be brewing some plans.
But what kind of plan?
