Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 951 - 387: An Arrow Piercing the Heart

After finishing digging, Han Lie hurried back to the hotel, finally getting a few hours of rest.Recently, he’s been so busy, his body isn’t tired, but the mental exhaustion is inevitable.

If you want to be a big shot, there’s no way you can avoid suffering.

The actual work is fine, the most troublesome are the engagements that can be indirectly classified as work, but can only be completed at dinner tables.

Time-consuming, energy-consuming, damaging to both body and mind.

In his past life, Han Lie didn’t understand, what’s so hard about eating and drinking?

Now he finally has firsthand experience.

The level you’re at determines the kind of people you meet.

When you’re a junior white-collar worker, your work is simple, and you only need to enhance specific hard skills to tackle most problems.

But once you break into the upper level, all the partners and opponents you encounter are clever folks, and the matters you have to deal with become several times, even dozens of times more complex.

Take today’s scenario for example, at first glance it looks like a great thing without any bad consequences—

Having a fling with an exquisite beauty, her husband not only doesn’t make a fuss but smiles asking if you’re satisfied, giving a thumbs up saying how strong and awesome you are, then eagerly inviting you over next time... just thinking about it is enticing.

Does it feel good?

Actually, it’s nothing like that.

If you really take Yan Shuang with you as they wish, then is Wei Changming needed to take the blame?

No, the guarantee party gets stuck, forcing you to find another way, adding lots of unnecessary hassle, yet may not achieve good results.

Continue using him as a scapegoat... oh my, do you still want your reputation?

Accept their offering and then trap them, such ugly behavior, once it spreads, what image does that paint of you, Han Lie?

And if you provoke Yan Shuang, she might turn against you, isn’t that troublesome?

Even if she doesn’t retaliate, she might play soft, crying to Han Lie for help, even threatening with pregnancy, to help or not to help?

Getting involved in two twisted emotions over trivial matters, this way today, that way tomorrow, isn’t it uncomfortable?

Old Qiu pulling you down time and again without fear, should you follow or not?

Off-track Panzi advising you to pay attention to your reputation, to listen or not?

Far too many questions.

So you have to refuse.

But even rejection needs a method, letting this matter pass quietly clearly isn’t bright enough.

According to Han’s principle of not earning is losing, wasting opportunities is the most shameful.

So after a big round, Doggie buries everyone within.

Extreme, exquisite, sinister to the core, yet maintaining basic moral standards, like a judge who uses evil to fight evil.

That’s how you handle complex problems with strategy and skill.

Hmm, the [Strategic Judgement] talent takes 80% credit, the remaining 20%, equally divided among psychological mastery, emotional intelligence, willpower, and various skills.

Not sure if it’s an illusion, but Han Lie feels his talent growing stronger.

Browsing the system panel for a glance, oh, it’s not an illusion.

Clearly written in the skill column—

[Related Attribute: Intelligence]

[Note 1: As intelligence increases, the talent effect constantly strengthens]

This talent is damn strong...

Through today’s matters, Han Lie clearly realizes that at a certain level, nothing is uncomplicated.

And the higher you go, the more complicated it becomes.

Those whose overall capabilities don’t keep up will inevitably stagnate, clearly feeling the bottleneck.

Han Lie feels fortunate.

If not for the cheat skill, just rebirth alone, 100 million would be within reach, 500 million hard to control, 1 billion unattainable.

The progress achievable through learning and practice has a ceiling, and those lacking innate talent may study a lifetime and still not match Wei Changming’s sweet mouth and conversational ability.

But does Wei Changming’s life count as a success?

It seems it should, but in reality, it’s not.

Heaven gave him rare attractiveness and emotional intelligence, yet his family didn’t teach him to control desires, ending in tragedy is highly probable.

Brother Lie, take it as a warning...

Han Lie sits at the desk reviewing all actions and thoughts of the day, feeling slightly happy, mentally calm and rewarded.

Next, it’s time to relax a bit.

Called for Leff, asked him to arrange a star technician at a spa center, Brother Lie enjoyed an exquisite essential oil relaxation session.

A star indeed, her fingers were slippery and soft, yet didn’t lack resilience and strength, giving a delightful full body massage.

The young lady scored an 80 in looks as well, her voice tender and sweet, who knows how many men consider her their goddess.

Honestly, this money was well spent, far happier than chasing after those little fairies...

Comfortable, good work deserves reward!

Signed a 120-minute package for 6000, Han Lie further instructed Lizzy, the assistant, to give an additional 4000 tip, rounding up to 10,000.

This price clearly indicates legitimate service, Brother Lie is upright!

The assistant used Han Lie’s credit card sub card for signing, amusingly triggered an 8 times consumption crit, earning 80,000 Dayang.

Brother Lie shook his head, calmly accepting.

Even though Han Lie wouldn’t bother picking up 80,000 bucks from the ground, since it’s already credited, what else can you do but accept?

Consider it collecting good karma.

When reporting expenses, the assistant had an idea.

"Boss..."

"Hmm?"

"I’ll find time to learn massage well, next time, let me handle this kind of work..."

Oh, aiming for promotion?

Han Lie raised his eyebrow looking at her, lazily asked: "Don’t think it’s overqualified?"

Liang Wu bit her lip, replied: "I’m a lifestyle assistant... serving and relaxing you is my main duty, there’s no distinction between big and small, is there?"
