The next morning, before dawn had fully broken, an unfamiliar number called Evan's phone. "Hello, is this Bella's brother Evan? I'm her roommate Ava.""Yeah?" Evan mumbled sleepily, "I'm Evan, who's this?""..." Ava was silent for a while before responding, "I'm Ava. Bella gave me your number and said you're a good dancer. Our school is having a freshman welcome party and Bella got you a spot - you'll be my partner.""Hmm... don't listen to her, I can't dance. Anyway, gotta go back to sleep, I'm dead tired. Bye." Evan immediately hung up and drifted off again.But less than five minutes later, his sister Bella called: "Bro, show some ambition! I went through so much trouble to set you up with Ava, and you're trying to wheedle your way out again?""Bella?" Evan stirred slightly, eyes still closed. "Huh? What's going on? Ava? Set up? I'm confused."Even when angry, Bella's voice remained gentle. "Bro, you know we're starting at Elysia Film and TV University in a couple weeks. Our acting
"The welcome party is still over ten days away, isn't it? This isn't a rehearsal - it's an ambush! Why didn't you give me advance notice?" Ava glanced at the nearly hundred students and performers below, anger glinting in her bright eyes."Showing up in such numbers to watch a rehearsal? If you insist on making this a live performance, forget it - I won't rehearse today. I still need to practice more with Evan.""Oh, more practice? Let me expose you - word is spreading that your partner Evan is a total amateur! Saying you need to practice is just a cover so he doesn't embarrass himself in front of us, right? Ha, refusing to rehearse? We're students at Elysia Film and TV University - we don't need practice like some outsider!" "Ava, I'm telling you clearly - participation in today's rehearsal is mandatory per school rules! This is what you get for passing up all the trained dance students to pick an amateur! You brought this on yourself!""Fine, don't rehearse - just make my brother
"Uh..." Evan broke into a cold sweat."Hey you two, this is school - mind your behavior! Save the flirting for at home!" Juliette scoffed disdainfully. "Now that he's here, let's see what this outsider can really do! Go get changed - you're up next!""No costume change! We can't perform!" Ava's finely arched brows drew together as she gritted her teeth. "I thought this was just a personal rehearsal. Evan and I haven't practiced together or chosen a routine yet. How can we perform? You're clearly trying to embarrass him - don't you think that's too much?"She looked up pleadingly at Evan. "Let's go, Evan. No show today - this is all my fault for dragging you into this mess. I'm truly sorry. We should leave now - we can't let these schemers succeed!""You dare try to leave? I'll give you a demerit if you walk out, Ava!" Isaiah bellowed, his neck flushed red. Gabriel chimed in, "That's right - you must perform today no matter what!""Tsk, it's just a dance, why make things difficult for
As the atmosphere built towards wave after wave of climax, the entire audience was on their feet, clapping along to the beat as they witnessed this once-in-a-century street dance performance. When the accompaniment paused, Evan dramatically flung his gentleman's hat into the crowd.The spectators instantly erupted into madness, with dozens of female students rushing towards where the hat had flown.In that moment, there was no more "rehearsal" - only Evan the lone Dance King on stage, with hundreds of worshipping followers below."Mr. Long, Mr. Long! You left the livestream on!" Jonathan, crouched in the corner with Kevin Long, was still stunned as he awkwardly reminded, "Any plan C? Plan B doesn't seem to have worked."Kevin Long's face was also twisted in ugly dismay. He stared at Evan on stage in sheer horror, as if at a demon. "How is this possible? I checked - Bella's brother can't dance at all! How is he this good?!""Yeah, I can't believe it either. But he's done and he dance
Evan got more frustrated by the second, but the System remained silent as the grave."Fine, be that way!" The System's lack of response felt like punching cotton - no impact at all. Oh well, might as well focus on the current task!Evan quickened his pace towards the Mall when his landlady Makayla Simpson suddenly called:"Evan, you ran off, didn't you? I waited all night! When will you pay the owed rent? If not by today, I'm tossing out your stuff and raising the rent to $3000 a month!""Hah! You wouldn't dare!" Evan scoffed. "If you discard my things, I'll make you regret living! I'm at the Automobile Mall now - come get your rent if you want, but I'm not delivering it. I don't plan on staying in your dump any longer!"Truthfully, all Evan had left in the rental was some old clothing, cheap but bought with his parents' hard-earned money. He absolutely refused to let that go."Automobile Mall?" Makayla paused, then jeered, "So you got a job there? Pretty diligent finding new work -
Makayla Simpson's face darkened as she glanced around at the gossiping crowd in the dealership. Anger flared up in her like a raging fire. I'm buying that $1.2 million Audi Q7, which is already stretching my finances to the limit. How dare he boast about buying a car even more expensive than mine! Her eyes instantly turned fierce and malicious, and her voice took on an angry tone: "Hmph! Let me make this clear - if you can really afford a car higher than mine by a whole tier, I'll change my surname to match yours, Smith! If you can't, you better call me Granny!""I don't have a daughter like you!" Evan waved dismissively and turned away.His words left Makayla sputtering with rage. Just as she was about to spit back a retort, she heard him say to the dealer, "Stop standing around. Go get the card machine. I'm paying cash for the car. Hurry up! And make sure it's a tier above the Q7!"Another commotion erupted in the dealership! "He's really buying it? $1.3 million, and in cash too!"
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Evan was already used to it. Ever since getting the Super Rich System, the most common reactions he saw were bewilderment, disbelief, and shock. He couldn't help sighing before repeating, "Can I drive away immediately after buying a car here?""Sir, any in-stock vehicles here can be driven away immediately, but you'd have to pay in full," the two saleswomen finally recovered and answered honestly the second time. "Okay," Evan nodded. "Then calculate the total value of all the cars in the showroom. I'm buying them all!""Um..." The two saleswomen were instantly shocked speechless, their faces draining of color. Buy them all? He wants to buy every car in the showroom? That's over $200 million! Could he afford it? In the shop's nearly 20 years of business, no customer had dared say they would buy the whole inventory!"Sir, are you joking with us?" After a long moment, the saleswomen finally closed their gaping mouths and hurriedly asked, "Sir, every
The group's taunting put Evan in an even fouler mood, especially Jacob plotting for his sister. His expression was calm, but a storm raged within! Austin glowered ferociously at Evan. "Evan, if I lose this $3 million deal today because of you, I'm taking it out on you! Even if you have to sell your house, blood, or sister, you'll pay me back that $3 million!""Second warning," Evan said coldly. Remember, you're from my hometown, so I'm giving you three chances. That was the second time you've challenged my authority!"What second warning?" Austin Brown was completely oblivious to the ominous implication behind Evan's cold gaze. He didn't restrain his anger, instead ramping it up further: "I was negotiating a deal with Manager Cooper just now when you came over here boasting. What are you, a poor loser, blabbering about buying the whole luxury car showroom? Hmph, who gave you the gall to boast like that? Your parents who wash dishes at my family's company?"Just as Evan was about to
