Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 143 - 129: Returning Home

Laila waited patiently at the arranged meeting point, leaning against a wall and constantly scanning her surroundings for the familiar figure.

Luckily, she and Aria hadn’t brought much luggage on their trip, so they didn’t need to check any bags.

Otherwise, they really might have been late!

A moment later, a solid black Jaguar XFL pulled up in front of Laila. Lin Shen and Aria then got out from the driver’s and passenger’s seats, respectively.

"Sorry, Laila!"

Aria trotted over to Laila, grabbed her own luggage, and started heading into the airport.

"Let’s go!"

"Hey! Wait a minute."

Laila, who had been in a hurry to catch her flight just a moment ago, suddenly found her gaze drawn to Lin Shen.

He walked over, smiled, and extended his right hand, speaking fluent English as if it were his native tongue.

"Hello, my name is Lin Shen. I’m a friend of Aria’s. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello! I’m Laila Schultz!"

Laila looked Lin Shen up and down, then nudged Aria with her elbow, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Aria, you ate well last night! This Huaxia man is way too handsome!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lin Shen said humbly, and his gentle and refined demeanor made Laila’s favorable impression of him soar.

Just as she was about to say something excitedly, Aria suddenly pulled her away.

"Lin Shen, I’m leaving! I’ll miss you!"

"Me too!"

Aria turned back and reluctantly waved goodbye to Lin Shen, while Laila teased her from the side.

"Why didn’t you give him a farewell kiss? After all, who knows when you’ll be back in Modu."

"That’s not necessary."

Aria glanced away, a little guiltily. This made Laila look her up and down, and she suddenly noticed two small details.

First, she was walking a little funny, clearly the after-effects of cramps from keeping her legs raised or standing for a long time.

Second, the strange mark on her face.

"What’s that on the corner of your mouth?"

Hm?

Aria’s expression faltered. She wiped the spot with the back of her hand and hurriedly explained.

"It’s from the white congee I had for breakfast. I must have gotten some on my face."

"Is that so?"

Laila blinked, not dwelling on it.

Because what she was most curious about now was what exactly had happened between Aria and Lin Shen yesterday.

’To think she didn’t come back all night!’

"So, how was that guy’s performance?"

Facing Laila’s question, Aria suddenly became shy like a little girl, tucking her hair, her words filled with nothing but praise for Lin Shen.

"He’s incredible! From ten o’clock last night until past two in the morning today... I’ve never met anyone more amazing than him!"

"Over four hours?"

Laila was completely stunned.

’Is he even human?’

"He doesn’t have some kind of medical condition, does he?"

"He’s very healthy, and I like him a lot."

Aria said, full of longing.

"If I get the chance, I’m definitely coming back to Modu!"

---

After watching Aria walk into the airport terminal, Lin Shen couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

He got back into the driver’s seat of the Jaguar XFL, drove away from the temporary drop-off lane, and turned on the car’s fragrance diffuser and the air conditioner’s external circulation to air out the smell.

Just then, he suddenly received a text message about a penalty.

[Dear Mr. Lin Shen, you are being fined two hundred yuan because your front passenger was not wearing a seatbelt. Please log in to the app to pay promptly.]

"As expected..."

Lin Shen shook his head with a laugh, not at all bothered by the small fine. His mind was still savoring the amorous encounter with Aria that had just taken place in the car.

He had to admit, the German girl’s technique was truly excellent!

Not only was she obedient in her service, but she even knew how to look up with seductive eyes to add emotional value.

Simply fantastic!

Lin Shen found an empty spot in a nearby parking lot, pulled in, and then leaned back in the driver’s seat, closing his eyes to rest.

After all, last night’s evenly matched battle had consumed a great deal of his energy.

But overall, he was still the winner.

’Two whole large boxes!’

Even Lin Shen found it incredible.

’I was actually that vigorous?’ 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But in any case, after this battle, Lin Shen had a clear understanding of his own limits.

He could dominate one, handle two with ease, and three was the perfect number.

Lin Shen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then took out his phone to check his GoGo Maps mission status.

His purpose in driving Aria to the airport wasn’t just out of the goodness of his heart.

[Upgrade Mission: Check in at the Airport (Completed).]

[GoGo Maps Lv. 15 → Lv. 16]

[Reward: Venture Capital accumulated per Red Point passed increased from 160,000 → 170,000. Current accumulation: 7,990,000]

[Reward Item: Random Scratch-Off Card x1]

[Upgrade Mission: Check in at a relatively luxurious high-end residential complex.]

"So the venture capital is almost at eight million..."

This was within Lin Shen’s expectations. He hadn’t driven this route to the airport much, so he had accumulated a lot of Red Points.

He passed seven of them on this one trip, adding a whole 1,190,000 to his venture capital!

’Now I have enough capital to proceed with the next step in the proposal.’

Lin Shen opened the Random Scratch-Off Card. He thought it would be money or stats again, but instead, he got something strange.

[Congratulations on opening 18 Scratch-Off Cards in a row! You’ve hit the pity reward: +0.5cm]

Huh?

Lin Shen was a little dazed. After the realization hit, his heart suddenly started racing.

He quickly opened his personal panel in Sports Health to see if it was what he thought it was.

[Constitution: 84/85]

[Spirit: 81/82]

[Kidney Power: 70/87]

[Charm: 80]

[Length: 8cm/16cm, Front/Back]

[Height: 182.5cm; Weight: 78kg]

"Fuck!"

Lin Shen couldn’t help but curse. The anticipation in his heart was instantly dashed.

’I thought it meant *that* part, but it was *that* part?!’

Just as Lin Shen was furiously complaining in his head, as if by design, Jiang Wan and Lin Ping both sent him a WeChat message at the same time.
