Infinite Rebate: I Get Richer Every Time I Spend
Chapter 8: A Million Dollars in One Day
Seeing this, Lucas showed absolutely no intention of stopping. He glanced at the beautiful shop assistant, pointed at the counter, and said, "Wrap this, this, and that one up for me!"
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lucas selected three more pieces of jewelry, totaling a value of 150,000 to 160,000 dollars.
He did a quick mental calculation. The items he had purchased today were not far off from reaching one million dollars.
Cardi looked at the mountain of shopping bags in Sofia’s hands and swallowed hard in envy. Lucas’s actions today completely shattered her worldview.
Who knew that just going out for a stroll and doing some shopping could be this extravagant?
As for Sofia, she was truly stunned by Lucas’s crazy behavior. In the nearly half a year she had dated her ex-boyfriend, the total value of all the gifts he had bought for her only amounted to twenty or thirty thousand dollars.
And even then, Sofia had given what was expected of her. Yet Lucas had spent nearly one million dollars on her in a single day. Who would believe him if he said he did not expect anything in return?
It was not until Lucas packed up the last three boxes of jewelry and handed them to Sofia that she spoke, sounding a bit incoherent.
"Lucas, this... there’s so much jewelry. I can’t possibly use it all!"
"It is fine. Just take them. If you really cannot use them all, you can give some to Cardi here," Lucas said nonchalantly.
The moment Sofia took the jewelry boxes, the system notification appeared, confirming that the final rebate of 300,000 dollars had been credited to his account.
Even if Sofia gave all the gifts in her hands to Cardi, it did not matter to Lucas anymore.
However, Sofia and Cardi were momentarily stunned by Lucas’s words. None of the jewelry boxes Sofia was holding were cheap.
Even the least expensive one cost fifty thousand dollars. Even for the closest of friends, you could not just give away such valuable items on a whim.
But since Lucas had already said that, Sofia gritted her teeth, picked the two least expensive jewelry boxes, and handed them to Cardi.
"Cardi, here is a pair of earrings and a necklace. You take them. I cannot use all of these anyway!"
Although Cardi wanted them, she felt they were far too valuable. She stammered, "Sofia, this does not feel right. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
These are gifts Lucas bought specifically for you!"
Hearing this, Lucas said generously, "Cardi, if Sofia is willing to give them to you, just take them. Perhaps I really did buy too much."
Hearing Lucas say this, Sofia, though slightly reluctant, shoved the two jewelry boxes into Cardi’s hands.
Then, looking at the mountain of bags in her hands, she also shoved the 15,000-dollar handbag to Cardi.
Since she had already given away such expensive jewelry, she might as well be generous and let Lucas know that she was not a materialistic girl.
Lucas did not care about that at all. He glanced at the balance of nearly 980,000 dollars displayed on his phone and was absolutely thrilled.
Although the rebate for beauty-level targets was a two-for-one deal, he still had to pay the initial cost.
Today, Lucas had essentially pulled off a "something for nothing" scheme. In less than half a day, he had turned an initial cost of 500 dollars into nearly one million dollars.
He thought about how if he met a super beauty rated above 9.5, and spent one million dollars on her, that would turn into 100 million dollars. With a system like this, reaching the pinnacle of life would be a breeze.
In high spirits, Lucas said casually, "We have been shopping for a long time and must be tired. Let me treat you two to something to eat."
Afterward, the three were seen out of the store by the manager, who was extremely enthusiastic.
Seeing that Sofia had too many bags in her hands, Lucas suggested,
"Why do not you go store these shopping bags at the counter first, and then we will find a restaurant?"
Sofia shook her head immediately. "No need. It is not that heavy. I would rather keep them with me!"
If the items were only worth a few dozen or a hundred dollars, Sofia might have been willing to store them.
But the items she was holding were worth nearly one million dollars in total. How could she possibly feel safe leaving them at a counter? If they got lost, she would not even have a place to cry.
Seeing this, Lucas could not be bothered to persuade her further. He certainly was not going to carry them for her.
He had not really had any interest in Sofia to begin with, and after confirming the system’s heaven-defying rebate mechanism, he was even less interested.
Sofia did not have the slightest complaint about Lucas not offering to help her carry the bags. For a materialistic girl, having a handsome man willing to spend one million dollars on gifts for her, what was there to complain about?
The group then found a seafood restaurant, where Lucas ordered several types of seafood he had never eaten before. Now that he had money, he certainly was not going to treat his stomach poorly.
Before long, a table full of king crab, large lobsters, and big abalones was served. It was not just Lucas. Even Sofia and Cardi had never seen so much delicious food all at once.
They were all genuinely hungry and did not stand on ceremony. Plus, everything tasted delicious, so they each started eating the food they liked.
Half an hour later, looking at the amount of seafood left on the table, Cardi said a bit embarrassedly, "Lucas, can I pack up the leftovers to take home?"
Lucas chuckled and said, "Of course you can. Everyone has a responsibility to not waste food!"
He had grown up and this was his first time eating at such a high-end seafood restaurant. He had gotten excited and accidentally ordered too much. Now that Cardi was willing to pack it up, it was exactly what Lucas wanted.
As they walked downstairs and passed a boutique men’s clothing store, Lucas glanced at the cheap, mass-market clothes he was wearing.
He said to the two girls, "Wait here for a moment. I am going in to buy a set of clothes and will be right out!"
He did not want to be wealthy and still mistreat himself, nor did he want to play the role of someone pretending to be weak only to strike back later.
Without waiting for a response from Sofia and Cardi, Lucas walked into the men’s clothing store. Sofia and Cardi looked at the mountain of bags in their hands and sensibly chose not to follow him in.
A few minutes later, Lucas emerged, dressed in a brand-new outfit from head to toe, carrying another new set in his hand, while he had simply had the clerk throw away his old clothes.
Although it was not a massive transformation, the Lucas standing before them made Sofia and Cardi’s eyes light up. The saying that "clothes make the man" was definitely not without reason.
Looking at the handsome Lucas before them, Sofia felt both nervous and expectant.
With all the money Lucas had spent on her today, she actually found herself hoping that he would make some improper advances. It was no wonder she felt this way.
The extraordinary purchasing power Lucas had displayed, combined with his sunny, handsome appearance, made him the image of the perfect Prince Charming in the hearts of many girls.
