Early morning
Su Hao slept until he naturally woke up. When he did, he found that the sun was almost burning his backside.
"That was such a comfortable sleep. Not having to clock in for work is absolutely fantastic!" Su Hao muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he remembered that he still had a check-in system that he needed to open. He shook his head again, wondering if he'd ever escape the fate of checking in.
"Check in," he mentally commanded.
[Congratulations, host. Check-in successful. You've earned 20 check-in points and a random reward of one bronze lottery card. Keep up the good work and continue checking in.]
"Hmm, there's even a reward!"
Su Hao's face lit up. He hadn't expected to randomly receive a reward on his second check-in.
[Consuming 1 bronze card. Drawing...]
[Congratulations, host. You've won a 1,000 tael silver note. It has been stored in your inventory.]
"A 1,000 tael silver note? I didn't expect the system to produce such things. I might not have to worry about money in the future!"
Su Hao looked at the silver note in his inventory, feeling quite pleased.
Although his Su family was wealthy, they had many expenses. To be honest, Su Hao only received 500 taels of silver per month, and his monthly salary at the Capture Agency was only 100 taels.
Now, suddenly having an extra 1,000 taels, how could Su Hao not be happy?
He decided to use the double experience card first, since gaining an extra 1,270 check-in points over 7 days could be exchanged for experience points or lottery cards.
[Consuming one week of double check-in card. Host's check-in value will double for one week.]
"Excellent!"
Su Hao got out of bed. By this time, maids were already waiting outside. When Su Hao opened the door, one maid helped him tidy up the bedding, while another assisted him with dressing and washing up.
"This life is pretty good!" Su Hao mused.
Meanwhile, several other maids prepared breakfast for Su Hao. The food was plentiful, and Su Hao ate happily.
"The life of a rich family's son is indeed nice!"
After finishing his meal, the maids cleared everything away. Su Hao left the Su mansion and boarded Su Ping's carriage, heading towards the Capture Agency.
After all, Su Hao was still one of the deputy leaders of the Capture Agency. This was his job.
He still had to go to work, even though it was almost noon. But who could question him? He was a leader, after all. The time he arrived wasn't an issue.
At this time
The streets of Fucheng City were already bustling with activity.
Since he wasn't in a hurry, Su Hao patiently observed the crowds around him.
From what Su Hao understood, Fucheng City was equivalent to a prefecture-level city in his previous life, roughly a third-tier city. The entire Fucheng City administrative area had a population of about 6 million.
It ranked fifth among the ten cities in the Northwest Prefecture.
A moment later
A delicate fragrance wafted into Su Hao's nostrils. He looked up and realized they were passing by the Miss Yueying Tower.
Looking up, he saw a group of elaborately dressed courtesans from the brothel, gently fanning themselves with painted fans, smiling at the passersby.
Miss Yueying Tower was one of the four major brothels in Fucheng City. The girls inside were as beautiful as flowers, so they didn't need to solicit business like ordinary brothels.
[Random task: As a young master, how can you pass by a brothel without going in? Please enter Miss Yueying Tower and reward the top courtesan, Miss Yueying, with 1,000 taels of silver. Reward: 2 bronze lottery cards.]
"The silver I just got is gone just like that. What a ridiculous task. But getting 2 bronze lottery cards isn't bad!"
"Su Ping, stop the carriage!" Su Hao ordered Su Ping to stop, then jumped off the carriage and walked into Miss Yueying Tower.
The carriage driver, Su Ping, seeing Su Hao enter Miss Yueying Tower, was about to call a servant to take their carriage away.
"Wait for me here. I'll be out in a bit!" Su Hao told Su Ping.
He only planned to go in and give a reward today, not intending to stay long.
"Yes, young master!" Su Ping replied, his expression visibly shocked. Previously, whenever the young master went in, he would stay for an entire day. Could it be because Miss Gu Xi'er had returned, so the young master didn't dare to linger here?
Su Hao was unaware of Su Ping's thoughts. If he knew, he would definitely give Su Ping a lecture on his thinking. How could he be afraid of a woman?
Miss Yueying Tower
One of the four major brothels in Fucheng City, it was decorated very luxuriously. Yesterday, Su Hao was in a hurry and didn't observe much, but now he could see it was truly opulent, worthy of being described as "carved railings and jade stairs."
Of course, the most attractive thing about a brothel was undoubtedly the women inside.
As soon as Su Hao entered,
The madam of the brothel spotted him and immediately approached with a smile, ready to greet Su Hao.
"I'll go up myself. You don't need to attend to me," Su Hao told the madam, then walked straight towards Miss Yueying's room.
As the top courtesan of Miss Yueying Tower, Miss Yueying enjoyed the best treatment. Su Hao walked familiarly to Miss Yueying's door.
He knocked.
"Miss Miss Yueying, it's me, Su Hao!"
Su Hao was a polite child, knocking before entering.
Inside the room
Miss Yueying was about to play the zither when she heard Su Hao's voice outside. Her face showed a hint of surprise. Yesterday, she had learned that Su Hao had become the deputy leader of the Capture Agency and shouldn't have time to come here anymore.
But unexpectedly, before noon, Su Hao appeared outside her door.
She slowly stood up and went to the door to open it.
Outside the door
Su Hao stared at Miss Yueying as she opened the door.
Miss Yueying had long hair cascading over her white palace gauze, her face fair, eyebrows neatly trimmed, and under her fluttering eyelashes, her eyes seemed to be filled with mist, looking exceptionally hazy yet brilliantly bright.
Combined with her slender figure, she gave off a pitiful and delicate impression.
"Rewarding 1,000 taels of silver seems quite worth it!" Su Hao thought to himself. After all, Miss Yueying before him was very pleasing to the eye, worthy of a reward.
"Young Master Su, how do you have time to come here today? I heard you've taken a leadership position at the Capture Agency. How do you still have time to come here?" Miss Yueying asked softly with a hint of confusion as she led Su Hao into the room.
"I was just passing by and thought I'd come up to see you and listen to you play the zither. I'll be leaving shortly," Su Hao said as he walked to Miss Yueying's bed and lay down, asking her to play a tune for him.
"Alright," Miss Yueying looked at Su Hao lying on the bed and slowly walked to the zither to start playing.
Su Hao, who originally didn't understand zither music, felt a sense of elegance in the sound.
Of course, Su Hao's purpose for coming here was to reward Miss Yueying. Listening to the zither was just an excuse for the reward.
When the music ended,
Su Hao stood up and applauded, saying, "Miss Yueying, you play beautifully. However, I need to head to the Capture Agency now, so I won't stay any longer. Here's 1,000 taels of silver as a reward for you. I'm leaving now!"
Su Hao left the silver note and departed from Miss Yueying's room.
Miss Yueying was left dumbfounded.
Looking at the silver note on the table, Miss Yueying was a bit stunned. Previously, Su Hao had never left such a large amount of silver at once.
She knew how much pocket money Su Hao received each month.
"What's gotten into him today?" Miss Yueying slowly walked to the window, watching Su Hao getting into his carriage, her face showing confusion.
"He might be the best person I've ever met," Miss Yueying murmured, watching Su Hao's retreating figure.
Although Su Hao was called a prodigal son, he had never forced her to do anything and had always used his reputation to protect her.
"Miss, this Third Young Master Su would be a good match for you," the heavily made-up madam walked in from outside and said softly.
"With family matters unresolved, how could I consider settling down?" The previously gentle Miss Yueying now appeared particularly cold, her words carrying a sense of desolation and iciness.
