GOD MODE FRESHMAN: Trillionaire Simulator

Chapter 6 - 6: The Matchmaker’s Gambit

3:45 PM - Dorm 307

Zhou Haoran's face cycled through shades of crimson as the Ferrari photo seared his retinas. "Your friend's eyes must be defective," he hissed, knuckles whitening around his counterfeit Gucci belt. "That's obviously a... a customized Porsche body kit!"

Pudgy Li zoomed in on the image. "Dude, even I know Ferrari logos. See the prancing horse? It's literally galloping over your fragile ego."

Ye Chen casually tossed his key fob onto the bunk. The metallic clink echoed like a gavel strike.

"Need a closer look?"

Four pairs of eyes tracked the keys' arc—a blackened trident emblem glinting under fluorescent lights. Zhou's Adam's apple bobbed. "Th-those could be fake! Taobao sells replicas for ¥9.9!"

"Let's settle this," Wei Liang grabbed Ye's arm. "Parking lot. Now."

4:02 PM - Campus Parking

The Ferrari SF90 crouched in Lot 3 like a sleeping predator, its Rosso Corsa paint job bleeding into the sunset. Zhou's Porsche 718 cowered nearby, its "Baby On Board" sticker peeling tragically.

"Rev it! Rev it!" chanted the growing crowd.

Ye obliged. The V8's roar scattered a flock of sparrows—and Zhou's last shred of dignity.

Zhou fled to his Porsche, only to find his key fob dead. "Battery's... it's just the battery!"

A freshman yelled, "Even your car's ghosting you!"

6:15 PM - Lakeside Café

"Surprise!" Zhao Shuxuan materialized like a manic pixie in ripped designer jeans, dragging a stone-faced Su Ning behind her. "Meet your future sister-in-law!"

Su's spoon froze mid-stir. "Your cousin," she corrected icily, "owns a vehicle worth more than my family's pharmaceutical patents."

"Details!" Shuxuan plopped down, scattering matchmaking brochures. "So here's phase one: Crash the Business School gala as fake dates! Phase two: 'Accidentally' get handcuffed together during—"

Ye sipped his latte, tasting destiny's bitter brew. "Why me?"

Shuxuan leaned in, eyes glinting. "Because Ning's last date tried to patent her smile. You? You're too busy counting supercars to be creepy."

8:00 PM - The Delivery

A Tesla Model X screeched to a halt. A man in a Brioni suit emerged clutching titanium briefcases. "Mr. Ye? The Skycrest #8 documents."

Shuxuan squinted at the paperwork. "You bought a villa to store your ego?"

"Minimalism's overrated," Ye deadpanned, signing with a Montblanc pen materialized from thin air.

Su's mask slipped—a microscopic eyebrow twitch. The game noted:

Cliffhanger

As the Tesla vanished, Shuxuan's phone buzzed—a leaked photo of Zhou meeting a tattooed figure in a black SUV. The caption read:

"￥500,000 for a Ferrari 'accident.' Payment upfront."
