Chapter 67 [Shop Malfunction] Detailed Effects of Money Power
As night falls, there is less traffic on the road.
While Zhou Lang was waiting at a traffic light, a new energy electric vehicle was parked next to him and kept honking its horn.
He rolled down his window and saw four young men sitting in the car next to him.
The two people in the driver's and passenger's seats exclaimed, "Dude, a Lotus sports car? That's awesome!"
Just as Zhou Lang was about to roll up his window, they honked their horns again: "Hey buddy, wanna race? My car can go 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds, wanna race?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanrou, who was in the passenger seat, nervously gripped the armrest.
Zhou Lang shook his head: "You guys do your thing, don't honk your horns so late at night, it's disturbing the neighbors."
"Bro, that's not fun. You're driving such a cool car, why don't you match it with something?"
"Let's have a race at this intersection, see who's faster and who gets through first."
Zhou Lang ignored him, and the young men, having made a fool of themselves, grumbled and kicked the electric gate away.
Shen Wanrou patted her chest: "Luckily you didn't compete..."
Zhou Lang glanced at her and said, "You're past the age of being stubborn and defiant. With so much money in your pocket that you haven't spent yet, why would you risk your life?"
"Besides, you were still in the car. I didn't even accelerate suddenly on this stretch of road."
Shen Wanrou smiled slightly, thinking to herself that this was also one of the reasons why Zhou Lang gave her a great sense of security. His maturity, restraint, and thoughtfulness were more attractive to her than his appearance or looks.
But she couldn't reveal her true feelings. Before she could finish speaking, Shen Wanrou said, "Ying'er must feel very safe and dependent on you when you're by her side."
"That's somewhat true." Zhou Lang thought of their reluctant farewell that afternoon. "Today, I took Ying'er back to her home. She said she was afraid that if she didn't see her for the next few days, she would experience withdrawal symptoms."
"That's how young girls are, they're so sweet when they're in love, their hearts and eyes are only for you," Shen Wanrou said with a smile, covering her mouth.
After passing two more intersections, we were very close to Shen Wanrou's residence.
The conversation had already ended, but Shen Wanrou was feeling a bit emotional today and wanted to ask some questions: "So, when you and Ying'er were talking, what did you discuss? Was it that you would get married as soon as she reached the legal marriage age in two years?"
Zhou Lang shook his head: "Ying'er is actually a little afraid of this. When we first confirmed our relationship, she even asked about it, worried that my parents would pressure me to get married."
"Afraid of being pressured to get married?" Shen Wanrou subconsciously felt that if two people loved each other, marriage should be a natural thing.
Considering her previous marriage experience... it seems understandable that she doesn't want to get married.
"Yes, Ying'er would definitely prefer to have more freedom for a few more years."
Zhou Lang said, "That's exactly what I think too. There's no need to get married so early—in fact, it's easier not to get married. You can still love and live a good life without getting married."
Shen Wanrou lowered her head in silence, and after a long while said, "Yes, that's true."
"Marriage is actually about establishing a connection between two families. Facing the relationship with the parents-in-law and the husband's family relatives, it must be quite difficult for a girl with Ying Er's personality to handle."
Shen Wanrou sighed, "Besides, trivial matters and family squabbles are really not as comfortable as the carefree life of two people."
She glanced at Zhou Lang's profile again, and if they didn't get married and there was no contractual relationship... some legal and ethical issues would be easily resolved.
"This kind of thing happens differently to everyone."
Zhou Lang wasn't advising everyone around him not to get married; instead, he said...
"Some people are very suited to get married, to build a stable and warm haven and support, to start a family, have children, and raise offspring, which is also what they dream of."
Whether or not to get married, and how to get along with your lover or partner, the most important goal is definitely "happiness."
"Yes." Shen Wanrou completely agreed.
Seeing that she looked preoccupied and seemed to be struggling with her emotional choices, Zhou Lang asked, "Sister-in-law, what about you?"
"Me?" Shen Wanrou paused, inwardly scolding herself for being so willing to confide these things to Zhou Lang...
"When I first got divorced, I was probably a bit stuck in a rut... I felt that it would be very difficult for me to remarry, and that this was how my life would be for the rest of my life."
"Sister-in-law, but—"
"But now I've come to terms with it. My previous marriage was a hasty choice made under pressure from my family."
Shen Wanrou's smile was somewhat melancholy: "Zhou Lang, you might not believe it, but five years ago, after I graduated from junior college, as soon as I got home, my mother kept urging me to get married quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to find a husband in a few years."
Zhou Lang listened quietly and then chimed in, "I remember Auntie's health isn't very good. Is she hoping... to see her grandson or granddaughter soon?"
"Yes, during that time, my mother often talked about how she was afraid she wouldn't see my child before she died... It made me very anxious and scared."
"Later, we went on a simple blind date, got married, and only after the marriage did I find out that he loved to gamble, had a bad temper, and was completely different from the person I met on the blind date. He gambled away all the dowry and bride price right after we got married."
Tian Wei's mother couldn't bear to see me like this, so she helped me find a job and an apartment, and we separated not long after.
"My mother is now filled with regret and has come to terms with it. Her grandchildren are nowhere to be found, and they've even ruined her daughter's marital happiness."
Shu Nan often advised her, which made my mother unusually open-minded.
"Let Shu Nan and I live a good life, take care of ourselves. Even if we don't get married or have children, my mother will accept it."
Shen Wanrou's heart was beating a little fast. She looked at the night scene reflected in the window and said, "I'll join you guys too. Let's not think about marriage for now. Being single and living alone, or dating freely, is fine too."
Zhou Lang then checked the Money Power interface.
[Status: Inactive, 94.9% chance of becoming your girlfriend]
"That tall?"
Zhou Lang thought to himself that Shen Wanrou knew he didn't have a strong desire to get married, but rather wanted to "date freely" for the next few years.
The probability that she would accept him continued to rise.
"I feel the time is almost right, it's just a matter of time before we have the right opportunity to speak frankly and openly."
Zhou Lang parked his car in front of Shen Wanrou's apartment building. Two neighbors saw Shen Wanrou get out of the car, greeted her, and went into the elevator first.
Seeing this, Zhou Lang didn't go up to sit down, and said, "It's too late, I'll leave first."
"Okay, thank you."
At this moment, the probability of "94.9%" on Shen Wanrou's head quietly rose to "95.1%".
Just then.
A notification sounded in Zhou Lang's mind.
[It has been detected that the host has a very high probability of activating "Shop Malfunction" in the future. This money-making ability can produce many effects, and we are now providing the host with an explanation in advance so that you can understand its mechanism.]
Name: Shen Wanrou
[Money Power: Store Malfunction (Prism)]
[Effect: Every two days, you will encounter items with extremely unusual prices.]
The specific effects will be randomly selected from the following four mechanisms.
① Misaligned cognition
You can use the lowest price ever/super low price for different items in the same category to buy the current products.
(Example: School district housing in a local old housing renovation community, with an average price of 9500 yuan/square meter. "Store malfunction" may mistakenly identify it as the historical low price of 700 yuan/square meter 25 years ago, so you can buy this property at a price of 700 yuan/square meter.)
② Buy one get N free
[An item will randomly appear somewhere. After you purchase it, you will receive 3 to 10 other items of the same item as a bonus.]
(Example: The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence + Phyto Corrective Serum set at the Ginza counter costs 2500 yuan. If you trigger the buy-one-get-ten-free offer, you will actually receive 11 sets.)
③ Move the decimal point to the left
[When you randomly select an item and purchase it, the decimal point of the price will be shifted to the left by 1 to 7 places.]
(Example: A private gamer has a stockpiled NVIDIA RTX 5090 reference box graphics card, priced at 32000 yuan. Due to the decimal point shifting to 5 places, you actually pay 0.32 yuan.)
④ Discount coupons
[At a random store, when you purchase items, you receive a discount coupon as a bonus.]
（示例：常见满减券有满10000减9999、满100000减99999，稀有满减券有满1000000减999999等等。）
