A cat cafe owner with editing skills on par with a professional’s?

Most people were extremely curious.

This made Lin Shen feel a little proud of himself.

On top of that, quite a few so-called "major influencers" sent him private messages, looking to partner up and outsource their video editing work to him.

However, Lin Shen rejected them all.

He wasn’t short on that kind of pocket change.

Even though he could complete all the complex editing and post-production with just a tap of his finger using the Super Editing AI.

But Lin Shen couldn’t even be bothered.

Instead of wasting his time on this, he’d rather figure out how to complete the tasks for his hacked apps.

Lin Shen opened Shuaiyang and mulled it over.

[Upgrade Task: Accumulate 1,000,000 in spending on Douyin and gain 50,000 followers. Current Spending: 300,000/1,000,000]

He had already reached the fifty-thousand-follower goal, but he was still a long way from spending a million.

’Do I have to go tip streamers or something?’

Lin Shen scratched his head, and suddenly an idea struck him.

He opened the Douyin store and went on a wild shopping spree.

A coffee machine, a robot vacuum, car accessories... he bought anything and everything he saw, the very definition of a rich man’s whim.

He even bought leather bags and belts from the official flagship stores of several luxury brands.

But even with all that, he ended up spending just under 200,000.

He was still halfway to his one-million goal.

[Host’s Douyin expenditure: 180,000. Total Shuaiyang cashback received: 81,000!]

"Tsk!"

Lin Shen clicked his tongue. For the first time, he felt that spending money was actually a hassle.

Even with the Shuaiyang cashback, he had no idea what to buy!

With no other choice, Lin Shen temporarily gave up on the Shuaiyang task and turned his attention to his other hacked apps.

To his surprise, he discovered that the task for GoGo Maps had been completed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

[GoGo Maps:]

[Upgrade Task: Check in at a location you consider "opulent and decadent" (Completed).]

[GoGo Maps lv.19→lv.20]

[Congratulations on successfully upgrading GoGo Maps to lv.20! "GoGo Maps" is beginning a version update. Please select your update path.]

[1. Top-Tier Luxury Edition (Selecting this version will focus GoGo Maps’ tasks on having the host experience the high society of the upper class.)]

[2. Magnificent Landscapes Edition (Selecting this version will focus GoGo Maps’ tasks on having the host experience the magnificent landscapes of the world.)]

[Please choose:]

’Choose a version to update?’

’That’s pretty user-friendly.’

Without much hesitation, Lin Shen reached out and tapped 2.

A life of opulence and decadence was certainly interesting, but it couldn’t compare to the sight of the aurora at the edge of the world.

[GoGo Maps 3.0 (Magnificent Landscapes) Edition is now updating...]

[DING—!]

[GoGo Maps 3.0 (Magnificent Landscapes) Edition is ready to serve you!]

[Update Announcement:]

[Reward: The startup fund accumulated each time you pass a Red Point has increased from 200,000 → 400,000. Current accumulation: 10,000,000]

[Reward Item: Super Scratch Card*1]

Seeing this, he used the Super Scratch Card right away. He was surprised to find he’d won a second-place prize worth 200,000.

With each version update, the rewards were getting more and more generous.

[Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of 200,000 yuan at 09:03 on September 1. Current balance: 11,200,000.]

After seeing the text from the bank, Lin Shen continued to check the GoGo Maps update log.

This update wasn’t as content-heavy as the first one. It only optimized the accuracy of its industry analysis and diversified the types of tasks.

[Magnificent Landscapes Task: Please check in at Taishan, the most revered of the Five Great Mountains.]

’Maybe I can find time to go once I’m not so busy.’

Lin Shen thought to himself, then turned his attention to the tasks from his other hacked apps.

Sports Health: Please complete a twenty-five-kilometer bike ride within one hour.

Camera and Album: Please shoot a story-based vlog with the theme "A Strange Relationship."

Big Blue Book: Please publish a post about "high-quality men" and get 1,000 followers.

And the lover task that appeared after reaching 100% affinity with Lin Ping: Use money to bring your lover more satisfaction and happiness (0/100,000).

Among these tasks, the one for Big Blue Book was relatively easy, since the app was still a low level.

’High-quality male?’

After a moment’s thought, Lin Shen propped up his phone in the living room and stood in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window to take a picture of his back.

A view of densely packed skyscrapers, the ultra-luxurious residence, and a figure with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-defined muscles.

’This should count as "high-quality," right?’

Lin Shen posted the picture on Xiaohongshu with the caption: I have countless flowers and endless romance, but the one thing I’m missing is you.

"Is this caption a bit too cringey?"

Lin Shen felt goosebumps break out all over, but he hit "post" anyway.

’Whatever. On a platform full of amazing people, you might as well go all in on the cringe.’

Lin Shen closed Xiaohongshu, got his gear together, and headed out for a workout.

He used to just run around his old residential complex and do push-ups and sit-ups for his chest and abs.

But ever since moving into Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard, he no longer had to endure the sun outside.

The residential complex had a gym exclusively for homeowners.

The gym was fully equipped, the atmosphere was particularly quiet, and the homeowners were all very well-mannered.

You wouldn’t run into any of the stereotypical "gym disasters" here. It was on par with a high-end, chain fitness club.

Lin Shen was captivated the first time he came, feeling that his membership at Z&B Fitness was a total waste of money.

Still, it wasn’t all bad. At least it was nice having a professional coach like Lu Ran to guide him.

Lin Shen first went to the weights area, using the seated shoulder press machine and dumbbells to work on his shoulders and arms.

Next, he tried a few heavy sets on the bench press, followed by a half-hour slow jog.
