6.Get the title

On August 21, at 7 a.m.

Tang Song, dressed in a short sportswear, went for a half-hour run in the nearby suburban park, covering a total distance of 5 kilometers. The mobile phone displayed an average pace of 5 minutes and 30 seconds per kilometer.

Throughout the process, the most significant sensation was the inability to keep up with lung capacity, leading to somewhat irregular breathing. This could be considered his current physical limitation.

To prevent getting too excited and losing focus during the run, Tang Song deliberately slowed down the pace, consciously adjusting the breathing rhythm to exercise his lungs.

After completing the physical enhancement, Tang Song cherished his newfound health and vitality even more.

To maintain and continually enhance this state, regular exercise was essential. Tang Song ran into the breakfast shop next to the apartment after the jog. He spent 12 yuan on a bowl of soy milk, a basket of small steamed buns, and two braised eggs.

In no time, the plump shop owner placed the breakfast on the table. Just as she was about to turn away, she stared at Tang Song and said, "Little Tang, why do you seem a bit different today? You're incredibly spirited. Young man, you're getting more handsome. Remember to get your hair trimmed; it's almost covering your eyes."

Tang Song smiled proudly, "It's probably because I started running recently. The results seem pretty good. Take a look at these muscles of mine. Hey hey, if you have any young and pretty relatives, remember to introduce them to me."

The shop owner, however, seemed momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Afterward, she responded with a hearty promise, "Alright, you've come to the right place. I do have someone suitable. I'll introduce you later, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Tang Song naturally thought the shop owner was joking and thanked her with a smile.

After finishing breakfast, the first thing Tang Song did upon returning to the apartment was to start studying. Since childhood, he loved learning, and he felt uneasy if he didn't study for at least two hours a day.

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Today's daily task has been completed, and the reward has been distributed."

Receiving today's 360 yuan, Tang Song joyfully checked the bank's text message notification. He felt a sense of security, as if he had found a reliable source of income.

Around 10 a.m., Tang Song changed into clean sportswear and set off to Hengda Motorcycle Shop to collect the delivery equipment.

It had to be said that the system was quite generous, providing a motorcycle and accompanying gear, taking care of every detail.

Opening the map app to check the distance, it would take about 40 minutes by bus, including one transfer. It was indeed a bit far.

Checking the real-time bus information, the next bus was about to arrive. Tang Song hurriedly ran to the bus stop.

After running a few steps, Tang Song suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot. I'm a future tycoon with a cheat code. Why am I still rushing for the bus? I must change this bad habit."

He directly selected the taxi service on the app, regardless of the chosen car type, and called a car with one click.

Now, Tang Song only lacked time. With the help of the system, he would undoubtedly achieve financial freedom in the future.

As a result, he decided to call a taxi whenever he went out, eat whatever he wanted, and spend money where necessary.

To better accomplish the mainline task, he must get rid of some of his previous frugal habits.

While Tang Song was contemplating his promising future, a crisp system notification sound rang out, making him shudder.

"Ding, detecting a change in the host's mentality, actively reversing consumption views, taking a solid step toward the path of a tycoon, completing the hidden mission, obtaining the title [Taxi Freedom], with this title, all taxi expenses are reimbursed."

"Do you want to wear this title immediately?"

Tang Song's hand holding the phone trembled, and he quickly silently said, "Yes!"

"Wearing successful!"

Accessing the system interface, Tang Song opened the personal information panel, and indeed, the title had changed.

（​​ Taxi Freedom）

Awesome! From now on, he truly achieved taxi freedom!

He remembered a department manager in his previous company who didn't like driving and didn't have a driver's license. He took a taxi to and from work every day, appearing calm and elegant, which Tang Song envied a lot.

Now, with the [Taxi Freedom] title, public transportation and subways would become a thing of the past, and he could experience some custom luxury cars.

Taking a taxi for food delivery seemed feasible, but the efficiency would undoubtedly be lower than a motorcycle, especially during peak hours when the roads were congested. Waiting for a taxi would also waste time.

The ride-hailing car arrived quickly. It was a white Corolla, and Tang Song opened the door and got in.

The driver was a spirited young man in his twenties, dressed quite fashionably. After confirming Tang Song's phone number, he accelerated smoothly, and a slight pushback feeling came over.

The weather was excellent today, with bright light streaming through the car window. Tang Song half-closed his eyes, leaning back in the seat. The car's air conditioning was working well.

Sweet and light music played in the car's audio system, and a female version of "New Boy" was on. The lyrics perfectly matched Tang Song's mood at the moment.

Yes, I see sunshine everywhere

Happiness floats above the city

The new world comes like a dream

Making me warm

Is your old pocket watch still ticking?

Can your old leather shoes still be worn?

Here's a future brand cigarette

...

As the car drove through a commercial street, Tang Song was quite familiar with this place.

Thinking about his shoes that were now one size larger, it was uncomfortable to wear the previous ones. He didn't want to risk buying online and wasting time, so he directly said, "Buddy, please stop at the Li-Ning store ahead. I'll get off to buy a pair of shoes. Keep the meter running as usual during parking."

The driver readily agreed; after all, he wouldn't lose anything. It wasn't the peak time for using the car, and he was happy to have Tang Song stay in the shop a bit longer.

Entering the store, Tang Song headed straight to the sports shoe section.

The sales assistant's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Song. She quickly walked over, her voice soft and gentle, "Hello handsome, are you looking to choose a pair of shoes? Do you have any specific requirements? Would you like me to recommend a few styles for you?"

Tang Song had just shifted his gaze from the shoe cabinet, but he was quickly captivated by the nearby female sales assistant.

At first glance, she was stunning. A white blouse paired with a tight professional dress highlighted her ample chest, and her legs, encased in black stockings, were straight and shapely. She had a face adorned with heavy makeup and wore stylish platinum glasses.

Although her attire had a mature touch, it was evident that she was not very old, probably around twenty years old.

This somewhat familiar appearance reminded Tang Song of the secretary in his game, although she might not be as mature and glamorous as the in-game character. Nevertheless, she exuded youthful vitality, and Tang Song couldn't help but glance at her several times.

Forcing himself to look away, Tang Song examined the shelves and said, "I want a breathable pair of running shoes. I usually run up and down the stairs a lot. Any recommendations? Price is not a concern; I just want comfortable shoes."

Weekdays during the day were typically slow for customers, and encountering such a handsome one made the female sales assistant wear a thick smile, displaying an exceptionally warm and gentle attitude.

"Alright, you've come at the right time. We're currently having a discount on summer styles, and the prices are very reasonable. Based on your needs, I'll recommend a few different-priced options for you to choose from."

"This SuperLight 19 is currently priced at 499 yuan. It emphasizes lightness, bounce, and breathability. The midsole features Li-Ning's new ? technology. The shoe upper is tough and breathable, lightweight, with excellent sole elasticity and breathability. You can try them on."

"This Chitu 5 is 100 yuan cheaper, emphasizing grip, stability, and sturdiness. The sole is also very comfortable..."

After patiently introducing several shoe options, Tang Song didn't dwell on the decision. He asked her to bring a pair of SuperLight 19 in size 43 for him to try on.

After jumping in place, the shoes felt light and bouncy, indeed suitable for delivering takeout.

In the morning, Tang Song wore a pair of Step shoes, costing just over 100 yuan, bought from a special offer on Pinduoduo. He had worn them for over a year, and the ordinary rubber sole had become a bit slippery with no noticeable elasticity.

Now, trying on a slightly more expensive pair of running shoes, he could genuinely feel the difference. Conservatively estimating, he might be able to complete an additional delivery in an hour.

"I'll take these. Give me a black pair, and I'll go pay now. I'll wear the new shoes directly, and you can dispose of the old ones and the shoebox. Please, don't bother with them."

Making the decision so easily, the sales assistant's eyes sparkled. She happily said, "Sure, handsome, you can pay at the counter, and I'll get you a new pair of shoes."

Tang Song took out his phone, opened the payment code, and changed the payment order to prioritize the bank card. He preferred to use the bank card directly instead of Alipay, just in case some hidden reward, like the one triggered during the taxi ride, could happen.

After paying for the shoes, looking at the remaining balance of 843 yuan, Tang Song didn't mind. With a guaranteed 360 yuan every day, he felt completely at ease.

The beautiful sales assistant handed over the new shoes. Her pair of long and fair hands were exceptionally beautiful, resembling jade.

After putting on the shoes and standing up, Tang Song, looking at the charming saleswoman, couldn't help but ask, "Can I add you on WeChat? I mean, just in case I want to buy sportswear in the future, I can contact you directly."

If it were him from a day ago, he would never have had the courage to say such a thing. However, with the support of the system, his mindset had subtly changed, and he became much more confident.

The sales assistant hesitated for a moment, looked at Tang Song again, and a blush gradually appeared on her face as she said softly, "Sure, then... let me scan yours."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Tang Song finally relaxed. He opened the WeChat QR code and successfully added her as a friend.

After leaving the store, Tang Song sent her a brief introduction, "Hello, I'm Tang Song."

Then he opened her Moments, but unfortunately, it only displayed content from the last three days. He carefully looked at the unfiltered selfie photos. Without makeup, she looked even younger and more beautiful, easily deserving a score of 9.

Among the few high-quality beauties Tang Song knew, the ones he had the most contact with were Lium Bao Yue and Bai Xiao Meng.

The former had explicitly rejected him, and the latter, after resigning, would probably be hard to meet again.

Now that he had finally encountered another high-quality beauty, reminiscent of the secretary in his game, he couldn't afford to miss it. He wanted to get to know her first.

After getting into the car, he thanked the driver again, and the Corolla accelerated once more.

"Ding~"

A WeChat message arrived on his phone.

"I'm Shen Yuting. If you need anything, remember to contact me, okay?" The message was followed by a smiling emoji.

Tang Song mischievously changed her contact name to "Secretary Shen" and put away his phone, unable to help but smile foolishly.

After wearing professional attire, Shen Yuting did resemble the secretary in his game, making Tang Song quite excited.

You know, the secretary in the game was selected and dressed by him personally, representing his true ideal type, perfectly matching his aesthetic preferences and XP.

Soon, the car reached its destination, and the driver confirmed the drop-off. Tang Song happily paid the 37 yuan fare.

"(China Merchants Bank) Your account ending in 3866 received a deposit of 37.00 yuan on August 21 at 10:32."

Just after paying, the bank SMS arrived promptly, and the entire fare was reimbursed!

The system was indeed efficient at handling things!
