Tang Song entered the system warehouse to check the details of the item he just received.

[Simulation Instance Creation Card]: Use to open a realistic simulation instance. The player will enter the instance in a dream-like state, randomly assigned a role to explore the storyline. Upon clearing the instance, comprehensive evaluations will be made based on completion, with higher scores yielding richer rewards.

Tang Song was no stranger to the Simulation Instance Creation Card. In Heartthrob Simulator, instances were a crucial mechanism. Players could experience various roles with different backgrounds, such as pianists, violinists, painters, or fighters, and immerse themselves in their lives and stories. Besides adding to the game's fun, instances offered chances to acquire precious skills, items, and knowledge. Being multi-talented was part of a heartthrob’s charm. However, mastering a new skill from scratch required years of effort, even with innate talent. The instances in the game were designed to bridge this gap.

Unfortunately, Tang Song couldn't use it at the moment. From his previous experience, activating an instance also updated the system store, offering targeted items to help players clear the instance quickly. But with his current savings of just a few thousand yuan, he couldn't afford any of them.

Exiting the system warehouse, Tang Song entered the personal center to review his information.

[Player: Tang Song (34')]

[Role: Jinxiu Commerce - Development Engineer]

[Height: 181 CM, Weight: 80 KG]

[Physique: 59, Endurance: 56, Agility: 50, Comprehension: 76]

[Asset Status:]

Balance: 4,500 yuan (Investment fund: 1 million, Debt: 40,000 yuan)

Enterprise: None

Property: 200 sqm office at Yunxi Tower

Vehicle: Wuling Hongguang S

Receiving the office property and experiencing the mindset boost instantly raised his charisma to 34. Charisma scores became progressively harder to increase, so a high-quality property provided a significant boost at this stage.

If his colleagues at the company knew about this, Tang Song would undoubtedly become the "most eligible bachelor" in their eyes, attracting attention and admiration. Even Zhao Yue, who usually kept her distance, would turn into an attentive "little sister," showering him with coffee, snacks, and caring greetings daily.

Moreover, if he could turn the one million yuan investment fund into a sustainable, profitable business, his role and status would see a substantial uplift, pushing his charisma over 40. However, if he failed, it would be an entirely different picture. Hence, he needed thorough market research, a clear entrepreneurial goal, and meticulous planning before starting. Even if he ventured into the clothing industry, he needed to understand market trends, competition, and supply chains comprehensively.

This was why he hadn’t mentioned resigning yet. In the coming period, he planned to use his job's convenience to interact more with colleagues from other departments, gaining deeper insights into the clothing industry and compiling information on quality suppliers.

After a light lunch and a short rest, Tang Song drove to a nearby car detailing shop. He spent 98 yuan for a comprehensive car wash, cleaning the exterior, interior, rims, dashboard, engine compartment, and trunk. The whole process took nearly 60 minutes. His car now shone like new under the sun.

Next, he went to a mall supermarket for a big shopping spree. He bought fresh premium fruits, including strawberries, cherries, tangelos, and plums. For snacks, he got cheese popcorn, chips, cookies, shrimp sticks, and seaweed rolls. He also bought Zhao Yaqian’s favorite drinks: lime juice, coconut milk, sparkling water, and yogurt. Essential travel items like disinfectant swabs, band-aids, sunscreen hats, sunscreen, and picnic mats were also on the list.

By the time Tang Song returned home with his full load, it was already 4 PM. After putting everything away, he sat on the sofa, exhausted, and opened Little Red Book to check his post from the previous day.

Title: Day 15 of Transformation, Going on a Road Trip with a Good Friend!

Text: We’re currently just friends, but I want to make a good impression on this trip to get closer. Any tips on preparations? Please advise!

Since Tang Song started posting about his transformation, he had gained over 800 followers in 17 days, with a high level of engagement. This post alone had over 200 comments in one day. His car wash and shopping spree were inspired by these suggestions. Otherwise, as a 25-year-old single man with limited social skills, he wouldn’t have thought of such detailed preparations.

He continued reading new comments, mumbling to himself.

"Charger, power bank. I have these, but I need a lightning cable for Zhao Yaqian's iPhone since I use Type-C. I heard the iPhone 15 releasing in September might switch to Type-C, not sure if that's true."

"Durex? That's too much!"

"Motion sickness medicine, good idea! I'll buy some from the pharmacy."

"Sanitary pads? That’s too far-fetched. How would I know her menstrual cycle, it’s not something I can ask about."

While scrolling through the comments, he noticed a familiar one.

[Yaoyao Ling: "Dear brother, seeing you finally connect with a new girl warms my heart! According to your location in Yan Province, try pairing light-colored jeans with a white T-shirt. If the girl is tall, wear height-enhancing shoes like dad shoes or air-cushioned shoes to look more boyfriend-like. Even if it's hot, wear a jacket outside, so you can offer it to her if it gets windy..."]

Yaoyao Ling seemed genuinely remorseful about the bowl-cut incident. Upon hearing about his new date, she enthusiastically provided several hundred words of styling tips and relationship-boosting advice. Tang Song noted everything down and gave her a big thumbs up.

Standing at 180 cm, Zhao Yaqian’s height, coupled with her proportions, made her appear taller. Though Tang Song, now at 181 cm, felt the pressure standing next to her, wearing height-enhancing shoes was a good idea.

After putting away his phone, Tang Song changed into light blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a casual jacket, and headed to Yunsheng Plaza. After browsing for a while, he chose a pair of gray-white Li Ning Surpass 7 sneakers, which had a good height-boosting effect. Wearing them with his outfit made him look like a standard 185 cm handsome guy from a distance.

Without realizing it, Tang Song found himself on the familiar pedestrian street. Zhao Yaqian wasn't standing at the entrance today, probably busy with work. He looked towards Yizi Beauty Salon, his eyes brimming with determination.

"My beautician friend! When my hundreds of cyber strategists take action, how will you respond? Watch me max out your favorability tomorrow!"
