Raising a wife is an expensive thing

[Mission Completion: S+ (Behind the mask, you can be anything. This grand feast is made even more extraordinary by your participation, and all the distinguished guests feel at home.

[Gain permanent title: "The Rose's Groom (Your wedding was witnessed by everyone and all the monsters. Countless creatures feigned affection and offered their deadly blessings to the newlyweds. Plant affinity +10%, and the hatred of other monsters towards you increased by 50%. Who knows why they're so crazy? Maybe your partner is just too dazzling ^-^.)"]

[The earnings from the recorded stream of "The Mysterious Fairy Tale" have been converted into Mysterious Coins and have been credited to your account balance in real time. Please check your account promptly.]

Qin Fu'an's dark and dangerous gaze lingered on the fatal note following the title for more than ten seconds before he scoffed and ignored it.

Jealousy? Madness?

With his hatred level increased by 50%, Qin Fu'an could already foresee the crazy revenge killings he would encounter the next time he entered the dungeon. He estimated that the combined attraction of all the players in the entire dungeon to the monsters couldn't compare to that of him, the humanoid monster-luring device.

Reach out and take the floating orange orb of light.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the orange skill from the orange skill orb: Rose Blood Lock - Cannot be upgraded (Remember the raven in Rose Castle? It was once a beautiful white dove, shot in the wing by a hunter, and landed in the rose bushes. It devoured the blood-stained rose and gained immortality. Of course, later, during a grand feast, it discovered that it wasn't truly immortal, but rather that it hadn't encountered a snake more terrifying than the hunter's natural enemy.)

While this skill is in use, even if the target is on their last breath, the blood-stained rose will remain until dawn. However, while the skill is powerful, it should not be abused, as it has very extreme side effects. For details, please refer to the description of the rotting, ugly crow.

A cheat code that locks your health?

Qin Fu'an looked at the orange skill that had suddenly appeared on his panel, and then at his title "Groom of the Rose," and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Did they know the title would cause problems, so... they manipulated things behind the scenes and cheated by giving themselves an orange skill orb?

The richest man who accused Xiaoyunduo of cheating should come and see for himself what real cheating is.

Qin Fu'an readily accepted the skill that the little cloud had secretly cheated into his system. With System 023 displaying a screen full of ellipses and exclamation marks that seemed to say something he didn't, he casually activated a few other light orbs.

After the light burst forth, a high-level purple healing spell was activated, automatically merging with a mid-level healing skill.

Healing - High-level (Automatically merged with Skill Healing - Intermediate, unlimited uses, skill cooldown: 1 hour.)

The three purple power-up balls were opened respectively:

Oil Pastel - Advanced (When used with a drawing board of the same level, it temporarily grants the user the magical skill of Ma Liang's brush.)

Canvas - Advanced (When used with a brush of the same level, it temporarily grants the user the magical skill of Ma Liang's brush, making their strokes seem divine).

Transformation - Fusion Version (A ballroom mask personally designed by Lan Bai, the most famous tycoon in the Ghost Realm, and meticulously crafted by artisans. If the system detects 30+ identical masks in the player's inventory, it will automatically fuse and reforge them for you. Underneath the mask, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, flawless and unchallenged.)

Wearing this item grants +30 Charm and +8 Spiritual Sense.

Special Note: This mask can be changed at will to conceal certain special stats, such as... up to 50% aggro?

Qin Fu'an: "..."

It turns out that even when a demon is particularly speechless, it will suddenly laugh.

"An intelligent system?" he sneered, making a dangerous statement: "Isn't your live-streaming game system a stupid system that should have been eliminated long ago?"

023: [Players are advised not to verbally attack the innocent system, otherwise 500 Ghost Coins will be deducted as a warning.]

Clearly, it had grasped Qin Fu'an's weakness: this snake, which seemed to have made a lot of money, was actually a penniless shopaholic.

He was poor, so he compromised.

Qin Fu'an: "..."

He closed his eyes briefly, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, then opened his friends list and began to view and reply to messages.

Qin Fu'an had exchanged player IDs with Xi Ya in the dungeon. She accepted her friend request first, but Xi Ya was offline. Given Xi Ya's personality, she wouldn't leave without a care while her teammates were still in the dungeon. She must have encountered something and had to log off to deal with it.

Qin Fu'an clicked on Xie Zeyuan's player avatar again. The live stream was still lit up, and he hadn't left the game yet.

Qin Fu'an thought about Xie Zeyuan's poverty, which was similar to his own, and after a moment of silence, he entered Xie Zeyuan's live stream, sent him some gifts, and took the opportunity to tell him that he had already escaped the dungeon.

After leaving the live stream, Qin Fu'an finally opened the last chat box, which already showed 99+ messages.

Bai Song: Boss, boss, I'm online!

Bai Song: Brother Qin, we've found a buyer for you. Chen Qi and Ya Ke are currently engaged in a fierce price negotiation with the other party.

Bai Song: Brother Qin, don't worry, even if we don't make a profit, we will never sell your prop ball for a pittance!

Bai Song: ...

Bai Song: …………

…………

Bai Song: Phew, it's finally settled. Chen Qi said the transaction price is 30% higher than the market price because many of your prop balls are rare items, and the buyer is quite reasonable.

Bai Song: It's a deal, Brother Qin. I've already transferred the money to you. Please remember to accept it. The system will deduct a 5% handling fee.

Bai Song: This is outrageous! The game company is the biggest profiteer ever!

Bai Song: Wow, Brother Qin, you're online??

Bai Song: Wait!! Why are you showing up in a game stream again? Hey bro, check your messages!!!

Bai Song: Okay, it's alright now. I'm watching your live stream. I'll wait for you to come out.

Bai Song: Holy crap! Brother Qin, are you alright? Why did this damn game suddenly go black? The official announcement said the game's dungeons are under maintenance? Players are still inside, and suddenly it's black screen for maintenance? Is it really not a bug that's trying to kill the players?!

Bai Song: ...Wait, wait, wait! Isn't that Xie from our dungeon?! How could he be the monster Rose from this dungeon?!

Bai Song: ...Is being love-struck really this terrifying?

Bai Song: I need to take a break. I'm logging off now. If you need anything, please leave a message, or you can directly contact Chen Qi and Ya Ke. The three of us are currently in the Long Night Stars Guild, so we can communicate with each other anytime in real life if anything comes up.

It was just text, but he managed to create a kind of ear-piercing silent noise from a series of words and symbols.

Qin Fu'an found the only transfer information among a large amount of text.

Click "Accept," then exit, and then open your player panel.

Player Name: Qin Fu'an.

...

Ghost Coins: 632650

Getting rich overnight is nothing more than this.

But looking at the freshly earned balance, Qin Fu'an glanced at the player's hut and flower garden that were still being upgraded and renovated, and couldn't help but look up the sentence in Bai Song's 99+ message and give him a thumbs up.

Bai Song: This is outrageous! The game company is the biggest profiteer ever!

Qin Fu'an: [Quote] If you can curse, then curse more.

023, observing everything: [...]

This demon is far too arrogant!

With 023 silently observing, Qin Fu'an began to spend money diligently.

Upgrading the game house once costs 1000 Ghost Coins.

Cleaning and repairing the flowerbed costs 500 Ghost Coins.

Each subsequent upgrade will increase the initial cost by 10.

So Qin Fu'an watched helplessly as his ghost coins dwindled with each upgrade of the game house and flower garden.

By the time he was finally able to carefully plant the rose seed in the flowerbed, he only had a pitiful 30,000 ghost coins left in his account.

Even the smallest amount was drained by the game using various nutrients and fertilizers.

Qin Fu'an once again realized how expensive it was to support a wife.

[Author's Note]
