Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Easy Climbing, Happy Incense Burning
Ark Games started out as a 2D B-game.
After making money, there is no turning back on this track.
Sometimes it was hard for Shao Jiayan to imagine that a sweet love game like Love Cycle could be planned by a cold and brutal devil like Si Yizhi.
But it must be said that Siyizhi has a unique keen sense of smell in product selection and market control. At least when Shao Jiayan returned to his office with a cup of coffee and started playing games to brush achievements, he had a thought: "This game is so fun, my boyfriend deserves to make money!"
Shao Jiayan, who had no money and no time to play games in his early years, never imagined that one day he would become a glorious internet addict at the age of 25.
Moreover, the krypton gold is like water~
Previously, because some players discussed Shao Jiayan's super-rich account on the forum, the company closed the unlimited point card privileges of Shao Jiayan's account after discussion. In other words, every penny he recharges now is real money spent from his bank card.
However, Si Yizhi didn't care about the little money he earned from playing games.
"You've already put the money in, and I earned it. It's my effort to put it in my left pocket and then in my right pocket. There's no need to feel bad about it."
So now Shao Jiayan is a real RMB fighter in the game.
Players like him would directly activate the blue-green modifier when they encountered difficulties in the game. This made him gain a lot of attention in the game. Even if he did nothing, he became the most talked-about person in the server.
So when he started to grind for achievements, many players followed in his footsteps and began to experience the achievement gameplay.
Of course, while playing the game, Shao Jiayan did not forget that his purpose was to experience the achievement system.
To be honest, he is not a person who likes to grind. However, there are many aspects of achievements that cannot be solved by blue and green modifiers, so he has to be patient and grind slowly. Among them, there is an achievement for killing a hidden boss fifty times in a row.
Shao Jiayan spent money to buy the boss's coordinates from other players, and finally killed it 45 times in a day. Just when he was thinking about whether to accompany Si Yizhi to work overtime, his former overtime-crazy boyfriend knocked on the door.
"Kefan has arrived in Shenzhen. Let's go have dinner together tonight." Si Yizhi pointed to the still cloudy sky outside the window. "Looking at the weather, it may rain heavily later. Let's go home early today."
Shao Jiayan, who had just been baptized by a violent storm in the morning, immediately gave up the idea of working overtime.
"Didn't Kefan say he would come tomorrow? Why is he here earlier?" But he didn't dwell on this question. He just felt that he had worked hard all day and was indeed hungry. "What are we going to eat tonight?"
As a gentle and considerate boyfriend, Si Yizhi naturally let him decide on such matters.
After much deliberation, Shao Jiayan finally chose the private restaurant where they had their first meal together.
"Can't we choose a more upscale restaurant?" Si Yizhi frowned with some dissatisfaction.
After all, this small restaurant with an average cost of less than 100 yuan per person does not really fit in with his current philosophy of "richly raising" cattle and horses.
But Shao Jiayan had been craving for this spicy taste for too long, and under his insistence, Si Yizhi had to agree.
Wen Kefan started looking for air tickets after hanging up the phone with Brother Si.
There happened to be a first-class flight from Beijing to Shenzhen at noon that day, so he booked the ticket without a second thought, simply packed a bag and flew over.
After landing, I can have dinner with them.
That night, Shao Jiayan enjoyed a hearty meal of authentic Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine.
The spicy and delicious feeling made him feel good, but Si Yizhi... was choked to the point of almost crying.
"Brother Si, you can actually eat spicy food so well now~" As a childhood friend, Master Wen was very puzzled by Si Yizhi's change in taste, "Germany and Shenzhen are probably not places where spicy food is popular, how come you..."
Si Yizhi said nonsense without changing his expression, "Nothing, I just suddenly fell in love with it."
At the dinner table, Wen Kefan first complained dejectedly about his increasingly marginalized status in the Wen family, and said worriedly, "I can only be regarded as the adopted son of the Wen family now. I am afraid that my background is not worthy of Brother Yiran~"
Faced with his sudden sentimentality, Shao Jiayan's head was full of question marks, "You like him, and he likes you, isn't it natural for you to get married? Freedom of marriage is written in the Constitution, who can force you to separate?"
Young Master Wen's eyes were filled with tears. "My parents and Yiran's father suddenly told Brother Yiran about the marriage between the two families. They said that I am not a member of the Wen family in the strict sense, and they want Brother Wen Yan to marry Brother Yiran."
Shao Jiayan didn't expect that even though Si Rong had fallen from grace, he could still have a say in the Si family.
He put down his chopsticks with a serious expression and asked, "Is Wen Yan also willing to marry Si Yiran? What does Si Yiran say?"
In the original story, Wen Yan had an unrevealed crush on Si Yiran, but now the plot has been changed, and Shao Jiayan didn't expect that this could come up.
"Brother Wen Yan is naturally willing." Facing the real young master of the Wen family, Wen Kefan always felt inferior and couldn't raise his head. "Brother Yiran firmly refused, but I am worried."
The reason why Wen Kefan stayed in Beijing for such a long time and did not return to Shenzhen to work was because of the marriage.
He was so afraid that the long-distance relationship would make his feelings for his fiancé fade, and he was even more afraid that the smart and capable eldest son of the Wen family would replace him as Brother Yiran's sweetheart.
Fortunately, Si Yiran was determined. In order to prevent him from being wronged, Si Yiran advised him to go to Shenzhen to work hard first, and he would take care of the affairs in Beijing. When the project at Love Reincarnation was finished and Wen Kefan returned to Beijing with his gilded resume, he would definitely let Wen Kefan enter Wen's company with honor and legitimacy.
After hearing his words, Shao Jiayan said, "You should believe Si Yiran."
It's not that he knows Si Yiran very well, but they are the top and bottom protagonists, and it is impossible for others to separate them. In addition, Si Yiran's personality is that of a domineering boss, and he has made a promise, so he will definitely keep it.
After being comforted by his best slacking partner, Wen Kefan felt much better.
After the meal, Shao Jiayan warmly invited him to go to Nanshan Temple with them tomorrow to burn incense and pray.
Wen Kefan was quite excited at first, but when he heard that he had to get up early, his head immediately shook like a rattle.
"No, I'm not crazy. I can't get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, so I declined. You two should go and burn incense!"
Nanshan Temple was a popular temple in the early years.
However, in recent years, with the rapid development of urban construction and the reconstruction of Qingquan Temple, which had been abandoned for many years, the flow of visitors to this temple on the top of Nanshan Mountain has decreased a lot.
The reason why Si Yizhi chose to come here to burn incense and pray instead of going to Qingquan Temple in the city center was mainly because when he was watching Urban Ghost Stories before, someone said that Nanshan Temple was more effective in praying for supernatural events.
Isn't the sympathy between him and Shao Jiayan a true supernatural event? So Si Yizhi decided to go to Nanshan Temple to burn incense with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Are you sure we want to climb to the top of this mountain to burn incense?!" Since taking on the responsibility of walking the dog, Shao Jiayan has never worried about getting up early again.
But when he finished walking the dog exhaustedly and drove his capitalist boyfriend to the foot of Nanshan Mountain, he was still stunned by the scene before him.
He muttered, "There are such high mountains in Shenzhen. After climbing up and burning incense, you won't ask me to carry you down, right?"
However, smart capitalists never make money without preparation.
"Don't worry, I've been preparing for it a week in advance."
Si Yizhi just made a phone call, and within five minutes, eight sturdy men appeared in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain carrying two bamboo sedans.
Si Yizhi raised his hand and said, "Easy climbing and happy incense burning. Please~"
So the two of them went up the mountain in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Fortunately, there were not many pilgrims who came to Nanshan Temple to climb the mountain and burn incense early in the morning on weekdays, so their large group would not be too socially awkward.
Because it rained the day before, the stone road up the mountain was very slippery.
However, the people hired by Si Yizhi are professional porters who travel back and forth to Nanshan all year round. In their words, they can find their way up the mountain with their eyes closed, and there is no need to worry about safety issues.
In fact, these hard-working men are indeed reliable.
However, more than forty minutes later, the two of them stood at the gate of Nanshan Temple, refreshed.
This temple does not charge admission fee. After Si Yizhi registered at the gatehouse, he took Shao Jiayan to the main hall to burn incense.
As they passed by the front yard, they heard two elderly monks sitting under an old tree, worrying about repairing the courtyard wall that had collapsed due to branches broken off by the storm last night.
When the two passed by them, they both slowed down their pace and listened out of curiosity.
Instead, the two old monks showed a puzzling expression when they saw them.
Shao Jiayan held Si Yizhi's hand tightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and then dragged him along to trot to the main hall to burn incense.
As there were not many pilgrims, they finished burning the incense smoothly. Then Si Yizhi said he wanted to draw a fortune stick.
Shao Jiayan had never participated in such superstitious activities, and he only had a vague understanding of the process of burning incense and asking for divination. He could only follow behind Si Yizhi and imitate his posture.
There was a fortune stick in front of the Buddha statue. Si Yizhi and Shao Jiayan asked for fortunes one after another. However, when they asked the holy divination sticks after shaking out the fortune sticks, they found that their fortunes were the worst.
This made the two of them really uneasy.
Especially Si Yizhi, he was already worried, and it was really hard for him to remain calm facing such a result.
The two old monks who were in the courtyard before took the initiative to come forward and talk to them after seeing how helpless they were.
"You two gentlemen look very kind. I guess you have a special connection with Nanshan Temple." The two old monks were chubby and looked like Maitreya Buddha when they smiled.
If it weren't for the way they talked to each other that really sounded like the beginning of a telecom fraud, Shao Jiayan would really like to acknowledge them as his friends.
However, what the two monks said next made Shao Jiayan even more alert.
The monk with white beard said to Si Yizhi, "This gentleman has a noble and energetic appearance, but his forehead is all dark blue, it seems that he has a problem..."
His words hit Si Yizhi's soft spot.
At this time, the capitalist ignored the fact that his cow-horse boyfriend was about to tear his clothes, and said respectfully, "That's true. I wonder if the master can help me solve my problem?"
The two old monks laughed and looked at each other. "Meeting is fate. Yesterday there was a strange storm, and the thunder broke the branches of the old tree in our yard. If you are willing to donate generously to help repair the wall that was broken by the tree branches, then you will have good karma with our temple. The day the wall is repaired, that will be the day your dream will come true."
The wary worker gritted his teeth and took the mobile phone from the capitalist's pocket and started downloading the anti-fraud APP for him.
But the capitalist on the side began to talk to the two old monks and discuss the matter of repairing the courtyard wall.
By the time the anti-fraud APP was downloaded, Si Yizhi had already reached an agreement with the two old monks on the monastery wall.
Si Yizhi promised to personally find a professional construction team to repair the damaged courtyard wall. He also covered all the expenses.
When Shao Jiayan heard her capitalist boyfriend promise to allocate one million to rebuild the temple's front yard, she almost fainted from anger.
He even began to suspect whether the two monks knew some kind of witchcraft. How come his smart and capable boyfriend suddenly became completely different, as if he had been bewitched?
When Shao Jiayan tried to drag him away, the guy hugged him in front of the two old monks, patted him on the back and said, "Be good, we'll go back after we finish talking."
Later, due to Si Yizhi's straightforwardness, he left contact information with the two monks before hugging Shao Jiayan and leaving.
After coming out of the temple, Shao Jiayan felt numb.
"Those two monks looked weird. They came up to us and asked for money. How could you actually give them money?" Shao Jiayan said dissatisfiedly.
Si Yizhi smiled and said, "They are not scammers. There is a brief introduction of them on the official website of Nanshan Temple."
"And... when I read the local ghost story section, many people said that Nanshan Temple is very spiritual in some ways~"
"Ah..." Shao Jiayan suddenly thought of what Si Yizhi had been muttering about recently, wanting to quickly eliminate the empathy.
He asked a little upset, "Are they reliable?"
In fact, there were many times when Shao Jiayan wanted to confess his true identity and the reason for his empathy to the other party.
But he still had some reservations in his heart, and always hoped that his relationship with Si Yizi could be more solid, as unbreakable as the protagonist's top and bottom, before he confessed.
"I don't know, but I'd rather believe it than not." Si Yizhi pinched his soft palm and said, "It's only one million anyway. Even if it doesn't work, just think of it as helping to repair the temple and making a good relationship."
But after listening to what the two old monks said just now, Si Yizhi always felt that their implication was: repair the yard, and what you ask for will be accomplished.
"It's getting late." Si Yizhi glanced at his watch. "Now we can go back to the company just in time for the meeting. Let's go."
