Chapter 6: Open Diamond Chests and Win a Luxury Car!
By the time they took Cheng Ning home, it was already 11 a.m.
Cheng Ning had planned to cook lunch for Lu Ran today, but Lu Ran hadn't bought any clothes, phones, or computers yet.
So he just grabbed a quick bite outside.
They then took a private car to the commercial street.
Lu Ran suddenly thought, should I buy Cheng Ning a gift?
After all, I gained a lot of experience from them.
But given Cheng Ning's personality, the gift definitely can't be too expensive, otherwise she probably won't accept it.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran's eyes lit up.
"Got it."
To thank Cheng Ning, Lu Ran spent several hundred yuan to buy himself three sets of clothes, and then went to the photography equipment store on the third floor of the mall to pick out a gift for her.
Why choose photography equipment?
That's because he recently learned about Cheng Ning's job.
Cheng Ning stayed home, just as he had guessed, and was working from home.
The specific job duties seem to involve dubbing novels.
Cheng Ning's voice is indeed very pleasant, making her well-suited for this job.
When Lu Ran looked at Cheng Ning's recording equipment, he immediately felt that it wasn't very good; Cheng Ning's computer had many audio files.
Most likely it's because the recording equipment is inadequate, so the audio needs to be edited many times in post-production.
For someone who is blind, the workload is unimaginable.
That's why Cheng Ning had to work all day on a job that wasn't originally that complicated.
"Welcome, handsome! What would you like to order?"
As Lu Ran approached, the shop assistants warmly came forward to inquire.
Lu Ran said, "Can you recommend the best recording equipment you have here? I need one that's suitable for blind people and preferably fully voice-controlled."
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant quickly took out a collared microphone from the counter.
"This one might meet your needs."
"It not only has a high-efficiency recording effect, but also features full voice control. After connecting to a computer, it can even control file transfer by voice, which is very convenient."
Lu Ran took it and examined it carefully.
He then tested the sound quality by shouting at the top of his lungs, transmitted it to his phone, and sent it to his WeChat account for listening.
The results were indeed excellent; recording novels was no problem.
"I'll take this one. How much?"
"Handsome, this one is currently priced at 2299 yuan, and there are no discounts available at the moment!"
"If you're on a tight budget, handsome, this entry-level model is fine too. Aside from the slightly poor recording quality, it's pretty good, and it's cheap, only a few hundred dollars."
Lu Ran directly opened the payment code on his phone.
"No need, just wrap this up for me."
This is a brand-name store, so there's no need to worry about buying counterfeit goods, and you can't haggle with the owner like you would with street vendors. Therefore, Lu Ran paid the money directly.
Buy a gift for Cheng Ning.
Lu Ran turned around and went into the mobile phone store next door.
Buying a phone was even faster, because he had already decided which model to buy before he left the store, and he could just ask the clerk to get it for him as soon as he entered.
Then you pay the bill and they open the phone and insert the SIM card on the spot.
Lu Ran had never understood why women could become addicted to spending money, but now he was starting to understand.
Even though the old phone still works, the moment you open the new phone, insert the SIM card, and unlock and swipe the screen, there's always an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
He fiddled with the extraordinary master in his hand for a while.
Lu Ran then continued on to his next destination.
Now all I have left is the computer.
He ordered all the accessories except for the graphics card online.
As for the graphics card, Lu Ran planned to buy it at the store, as there happened to be a store in this shopping mall that sold the 5090d.
"handsome guy···"
As soon as Lu Ran entered the store, he raised his hand to interrupt the salesperson's polite conversation and pointed to the 5090d on the counter, saying:
"Give me one of those."
The shop assistant looked a little confused: "Handsome, are you sure you want it?"
"certainly."
"All right."
Once the clerk brought the card, Lu Ran held the graphics card in one hand and casually pulled out his phone with the other to show the payment code.
The store staff and other customers who came to look at the goods all stared blankly at Lu Ran.
Then, the store's voice announced that the payment was successful, and everyone's expressions varied.
Especially some male classmates who had girlfriends and were carefully holding onto 5060 while smiling obsequiously, looked at Lu Ran with envy.
Lu Ran paid the bill.
The system's rewards were also credited to the account all at once at this time.
You have completed the task of purchasing new clothes.
[Gained 30 treasure chest experience points.]
[Triggers an 8x experience critical hit.]
You have completed the task of purchasing a new mobile phone.
[Gained 100 treasure chest experience points.]
You have completed the task of purchasing a new computer.

[Current stored treasure chest experience points: 570.]
【当前可开启的宝箱：青铜宝箱*5（100经验值开五次），白银宝箱*2（200经验值开两次），黄金宝箱*1（300经验值开一次），钻石宝箱*1（500经验值开一次）】
"440 treasure chest experience points in one go, awesome!"
"Let's go back and open the treasure chest."
Lu Ran muttered to himself, then shouldered the graphics card and picked up his clothes, walking outside with a flourish.
The sales clerk was stunned and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone buy a graphics card like this. Something worth ten or twenty thousand yuan, and they do it more efficiently than I would buy a bottle of water at a convenience store."
The boy next to him nodded and then shook his head: "I wish I could be as carefree as him."
His girlfriend glared at him: "What, you don't like the 5060 I bought you? If you're envious, then go and make some money. What's the point of just talking here?"
The boy pouted: "Can't I even talk about it? Besides, what do you mean you're going to buy it for me? That's clearly my money."
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no, it's nothing, darling. I just like the 5060. What's the 5090D? It's inferior, its 4K resolution is terrible and it consumes a lot of VRAM. It's not good to use. Yeah, I'm not envious at all."
Lu Ran carried the graphics card out of the mall.
He didn't ask the clerk for a bag because he had already packed it up.
Back home, Lu Ran was about to open the treasure chest and hand the microphone to Cheng Ning when his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from his good buddy Li Shang.
As soon as the call connected, a rough voice immediately came from the other end.
"Hey Lao Lu, what's wrong with you lately? You used to be eager for me to play games with you all day long, but now you don't even send me a message for days."
"Could they be dating?"
"If you really start dating, tell your buddy. I'll definitely support you financially. Let me tell you, my son is due in a few months. Don't be single by the time my son is old enough to run errands."
Lu Ran said speechlessly, "Why are you just like my mother, bringing up these kinds of things right off the bat?"
"Hehe, guess who told me to say that?"
Lu Ran: "My mom contacted you?"
"Of course, Auntie shouldn't be too anxious about your marriage. You'd better hurry up and find someone."
"Alright, I've completed the task Auntie assigned me. Now it's my turn. I'll bring my wife to visit you during the National Day holiday. How about we go on a trip together?"
Your friend Li Shang seems to be here on a mission to keep an eye on you. Inviting Cheng Ning on a trip together might be a good idea.
[Task: Take Cheng Ning on a five-day trip during the National Day holiday.]
[Reward: 1000 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
one thousand?
Wow, the rewards are getting more and more numerous!
Lu Ran swallowed hard.
He then replied, "Okay, we'll contact each other again during the National Day holiday."
"No, we can still play together!"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Forget it, I'm going to assemble a new computer soon. I've sold all the old ones. Just wait until my 98X3d and 5090d are assembled, and see how I beat you in the knife room."
"Tch, keep bragging. A 5090D? If you could afford it, I'd just eat it."
"Okay, come to my place during the National Day holiday and I'll watch you eat."
Lu Ran chuckled, and after a few more words of conversation, he hung up the phone.
Now that he has 570 treasure chest experience points, Lu Ran decides to open the diamond treasure chest directly.
"System, I want to open a diamond treasure chest."
【Ding! 】
The Diamond Chest has been opened; chest experience points -500.
[Rewards are being randomly selected, please wait.]
The rewards above the crystal-clear diamond chest are many times better than those above the bronze chest.
The minimum cash reward is 10,000 yuan, while the high-level rewards in the bronze treasure chest are some ordinary cars, priced between 60,000 and 200,000 yuan.
This diamond treasure chest can actually yield a Porsche 911, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and other luxury cars worth millions, and even a detached villa, which looks to be worth at least several million or tens of millions.
Lu Ran rubbed his hands together and prayed incessantly, "System brother, system daddy, please give me a big prize, please give me a big prize, please."
Lu Ran stared intently at the scrolling bar, feeling for the first time that time was passing so slowly.
"No···"
The item slowly settled on the icon for 10,000 cash, and the next one was a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Lu Ran was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Just when he thought it was another guaranteed minimum, the icon for 10,000 yuan slowly slid back a little and finally settled on the big G icon.
"Holy crap, great, great, great!"
[Congratulations, host! You have opened a diamond treasure chest and obtained a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.]
[The reward has been officially registered with the 4S store using the host's login information and can be claimed using the individual's identity. Currently, the 4S store in the host's location does not have the G-Class model in stock and it will take approximately twenty days to pick up the car.]
They've already won big prizes, so waiting a few days is no problem at all.
It took Lu Ran more than ten minutes to calm down.
He remembered that he also needed to give Cheng Ning a gift.
He composed himself, grabbed the microphone, and went to Cheng Ning's house, knocking on the door.
