Chapter 7: Embracing Luxury, Enjoying Ease

However, Mu Qing Yan had made a decision: she would consider today’s events as a debt owed to Qin Fan, and she would work hard to achieve outstanding results for the company in the future…

Meanwhile, Qin Fan also saw a new mission update on his system panel.

“Embrace Luxury, Enjoy Ease. You have completed one of the permanent main missions in the Modern City world. You have fully immersed yourself in Qin Fan’s lifestyle, gaining 5 Comfort Coins and 1 Temporary World Window.”

The mission progress update was quite unique, completely different from the “plot” Qin Fan had created.

However, Qin Fan wasn’t someone who liked to dwell on things. From the moment he woke up this morning, he had perfectly immersed himself in his role.  His actions for Mu Qing Yan were the best he could do, using his wealth to its fullest potential. This was a completely new lifestyle for Qin Fan.

Going with the flow, seeking comfort and enjoying it – that was Qin Fan. It was only natural that he could get the system’s approval so quickly and complete permanent main mission 12.

The only thing that surprised Qin Fan was that he had received a partial reward even though the permanent main mission wasn’t complete, only halfway done. Especially the Temporary World Window, which allowed him to temporarily exit the world and return to reality, was something that didn’t exist in the “novel.”

But Qin Fan thought about it. He was currently in the Infinite Comfort world. This world wouldn’t impose too many restrictions on the protagonist, even granting him the greatest degree of relaxation and freedom. Thinking about it this way, Qin Fan felt relieved.

Then, Qin Fan treated Mu Qing Yan to a cup of coffee. He chatted with the female lead in a quiet, elegant setting before sending her home.

As the saying goes, “No desires, no worries.” Qin Fan wouldn’t actively pursue Mu Qing Yan. His interaction with the female lead was a complete immersion, a comfortable enjoyment, not influenced by the mission.

After returning home, Qin Fan, “uncharacteristically,” visited his parents in this world.

Qin Fu was a typical successful businessman, distrustful of everyone, with a strong parental style. Before this, his relationship with Qin Fan was quite strained. But due to health reasons, he was forced to rest and recuperate, handing over the affairs of CK Group to Qin Fan.

Before meeting Qin Fu, Qin Fan had done his homework, recounting the company affairs he had dealt with today, emphasizing his handling of Wang Dong.

Qin Fan’s words were logical and well-reasoned. Although they didn’t have any particular highlights, they were a huge improvement compared to his previous spoiled brat image.  So, after he finished speaking, Qin Fu’s eyes naturally showed approval, and he even encouraged him a few words.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Fan subtly mentioned the future plot through his “observations at the company today,” emphasizing Chen Dong Shi’s ambition and the instability of the other board members.

Unlike ordinary infinite stream stories, the Comfort System didn’t have a “plot leak will be erased” setting. So, Qin Fan could leak the plot. However, in the “settings,” the protagonist couldn’t reveal the existence of the Comfort System, including anything that could lead to the deduction of its existence. So, Qin Fan expressed it in this way.

Qin Fu naturally trusted his son, but he was even more confident in the CK Group he had built. After Qin Fan finished speaking, he said he would send someone to investigate and follow up on the matter, but also told Qin Fan to steadily develop in the company, expand his network, and consolidate his power.

Qin Fan knew this was the best he could do, so he wasn’t disappointed by Qin Fu’s response. After chatting for a while, he took his leave.

Leaving the house, Qin Fan saw Qin Mu. This wealthy madam was more concerned about Qin Fan’s marriage. In the original plot, because of his resistance, Qin Fan refused to get engaged to Mu Zi Cheng, which led to a strained relationship with Qin Mu. Now, Qin Fan silently acknowledged the engagement, taking a non-resistant stance. This not only eased the tension between them, but also shifted the pressure to Mu Zi Cheng’s side.

After doing all this, Qin Fan returned to his room and turned his attention to the system panel. With a thought, he activated the Temporary World Window.

After initially immersing himself in the Comfort world, Qin Fan was eager to return to reality. He couldn’t wait to change himself and his family in the real world…

This was a place covered by a transparent light dome, about ten square meters. It was pitch black around it, with only the dome emitting twinkling starlight. Qin Fan knew this was the initial place of the World Window. He could enter or leave the world through here. When entering, he would receive various prompts about the new world, and when leaving, he would receive a corresponding world summary.

World Summary:

You have conducted initial exploration of the Modern City world, confirming it to be a city-based world. You have become Qin Fan, the second male lead, and you have initially entered the plot and influenced its development to some extent. Specifically:

You joined CK Group, holding a position as General Manager, gaining some power within CK Group and enjoying the benefits of that power: you engaged in an intimate relationship with Li Qian and expelled the company’s black sheep, Wang Dong.

You interacted with the female lead, leaving a deep impression on her. Mu Zi Cheng sees you as a close friend, with a favorability rating of 80%. Mu Qing Yan sees you as a charming male boss, with a favorability rating of 58%.

Total Gains:

Comfort Coins: 5

Plot Comfort Value: 19%

As Qin Fan’s figure appeared in his small room, this information automatically appeared in his mind. Only now did he understand his position in the hearts of the two female leads and the impact his actions in the world had.

“In the novel, the male lead struggles to pursue the female lead in the Modern City, completing three missions with great difficulty. His final plot comfort value was only 40%. It was only after completing the world mission and adding the additional plot comfort value that he barely reached the Black Iron standard. But I, with no ambition, just made a few subtle adjustments, and I already have this much plot comfort value. It seems that I, the author of the Comfort System, don’t understand the essence of the Comfort System!”

Only by following the so-called “comfort” lifestyle of the Comfort System would the final plot comfort value be higher, leading to a more valuable World Window.

So, after mumbling to himself, Qin Fan decided to carefully examine the things he had done in the Modern City world, comparing them to the male lead in the “novel,” to see exactly how much better he was than the male lead, and to leverage his advantages to lay the groundwork for his future comfortable life.

However, these were things that Qin Fan needed to focus on later. For now, the most important thing for him was to savor the delicious fruits of the Comfort world.

“Redeem, Comfort Coins, fully redeem for real-world currency.”

With Qin Fan’s command, the system automatically prompted: “5 Comfort Coins have been redeemed for 500,000 yuan in real-world currency. Do you want to redeem it as cash or directly redeem it as a bank account balance?”

“Redeem it as an account balance, designated to my Industrial and Commercial Bank of China account.”

Qin Fan said again, thinking to himself, 500,000 yuan, not a large amount, it shouldn’t attract the bank’s attention. If he needed to redeem a huge amount in the future, he would need to use the second option for Comfort Coins, redeeming some real-world power beforehand, so that the cash flow would have a legitimate source. He had a deep understanding of the world he had personally “created.”

“Redemption complete. 500,000 yuan in real-world currency has been deposited into your designated account.”

As the system prompt rang in his ears, Qin Fan silently thought, “Exit window.”

The next moment, Qin Fan’s figure appeared in his own room. He looked at the time on his computer. He had decided to enter the world about an hour ago. In other words, the day he spent in the Comfort world was only one hour in real time. This was the time setting he had made for “World-Class Comfort.”

Standing in front of his computer, he looked at the desktop. There were only a few windows like “My Computer” and “Recycle Bin,” but now there was a brand new window icon. This was the only difference between Qin Fan and the protagonist in the novel. In the novel, the protagonist clicked the window first to enter the Infinite Comfort System, while Qin Fan directly experienced the first world, and then the temporary world window of the Modern City appeared on his computer.

The file name was “Modern City,” and the window icon was a picture of towering skyscrapers and gold coins symbolizing wealth. But compared to normal icons, this Modern City icon was blurry, almost transparent, as if it would disappear at any moment. This was the characteristic of a “Temporary World” window.

Qin Fan knew that if he wanted to enter the world again, he only needed to click on the window on his desktop. Not only that, in Qin Fan’s “memory,” this was a special program. Even if he changed computers, he only needed to create a new text document called “World-Class Comfort,” and everything in the system would appear. In fact, this document could appear in any technological product Qin Fan used, such as a smartphone, smartwatch, etc.

In the plot of “World-Class Comfort,” the first thing the protagonist redeemed using Comfort Coins was a Comfort Watch that allowed him to communicate with the system at any time. Of course, redeeming a Comfort Watch would be a bit difficult for Qin Fan at the moment.
