Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Spending Day 10
Liu Yue subconsciously wanted to change her bag, after all, the computer was very expensive, but she quickly remembered that it was Hermès.
Including accessories, this bag is much more expensive than a computer.
Besides, Liu Yue actually preferred to replace her computer. After all, a 16-inch computer was heavy and certainly not as convenient to carry around as a 13-inch one. But she had only just bought her new computer... wouldn't it be a waste to leave it unused? She couldn't sell it anyway.
Anyway, she hasn't found a job yet, and the need to bring a computer to work is still just an imagination. She will consider it after she actually starts working. Maybe the company will provide her with a dedicated office computer.
Alas, this is what it’s like to live a frugal life for a long time. Liu Yue couldn’t help but laugh at herself in her heart.
After the housekeeping service was completed, Liu Yue paid the bill and picked out some items from her favorites to pay for, and her spending task for the day was officially completed.
She clicked the cashback wheel with great anticipation, and when she saw the pointer stop at 50%, she almost cheered.
Liu Yue immediately checked her phone, and sure enough, a notification popped up on Alipay about receiving a payment of 500,000 yuan.
Great, the system’s money-transferring speed is so fast, she will always support this spending system!
System: "Is the host so happy that he only got 50%?"
Liu Yue snorted twice: "What do you mean by only getting 50%? This is a full 400,000 more than the guaranteed 100,000!"
She had long realized that if her expectations every day were 100%, then she would only have a one in ten chance of being happy, and the remaining nine would be disappointment and sadness.
But if her expectations every day are only 10%, then her worst result is to be in line with expectations, neither sad nor happy, but there is still a 90% chance of being surprised!
Since she couldn't control the probability of the wheel turning, she naturally had to choose a way of thinking that made her happier. If she was wasting her energy, she would only hurt herself. Who else would care?
System: "You are truly my chosen host."
Liu Yue liked this comment. Who wouldn’t want the money given away for free by the system?
Having completed her task early today, Liu Yue even asked the system if she could get the amount for tomorrow's task earlier. She didn't want to stay up late every day waiting.
System: "The 24-hour mission time cannot be changed, but I can adjust the time zone for the host."
Liu Yue understood. She was now using the Eastern Time Zone 8, which was refreshed at midnight every day.
But if she is transferred to the East Tenth District, corresponding to the midnight there, she will start signing in at 10 pm here, and the task will end at 10 pm the next day, which is still 24 hours.
Liu Yue said that it could be adjusted, but the system reminded her that it could only be adjusted once every thirty natural days.
Liu Yue nodded: "No problem, I will spend my money seriously and won't take advantage of the time zone."
When Wen Huiyi returned to the dormitory, she saw the floor was as clean as new.
"This is so clean." She stepped in carefully. "Who mops the floor so well? You've worked so hard."
Of course it’s housework. The feeling of using money is really wonderful.
Liu Yue poked her head out from behind the bed curtains: "You got off work so early today."
"Because I'm going to Macau soon."
Wen Huiyi put her computer bag down on the table with a thud. "Thanks to Xie Zhengyang, I got to arrive early. He's not a big shot, but he has a lot of requirements."
Xie Zhengyang, this name sounds familiar.
Liu Yue remembered, isn't this the male star Qin Yi likes? Knowing that Wen Huiyi's job is art director, then...
It turns out that the culprit who made Wen Huiyi work overtime on New Year's Day was Qin Yi's idol. No wonder Wen Huiyi refused to give in.
"It's too hard," Liu Yue said sympathetically. "If Tencent doesn't offer you a job, even God will be sorry."
Wen Huiyi chuckled twice. She really wanted to complain about something, but she barely held it back out of professional ethics.
Because she was going to work this time, her roommates didn't ask her to help with shopping. But when it comes to Macau, Liu Yue really wants to eat Portuguese egg tarts.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind. What if... she also went to Macau?
Liu Yue has been to Macau before, and her Hong Kong and Macau Pass has not expired. Now it is very convenient to renew it by yourself, and it can be handled directly at the port.
But what was she going to Macau for? There were no attractions there that would interest Liu Yue. Was it just to eat some Portuguese egg tarts?
This way of traveling is undoubtedly very "wasteful", because Liu Yue's impression of traveling is that when you go to a place, you must experience all the places you should play and see, so that the trip will not be in vain.
But, but…
Liu Yue turned over in bed, thinking to herself, she didn't have to consider the cost-effectiveness when spending money on the system, so she could just do whatever made her happy.
Going to Macau was nothing. She had read about it online. Rich people flew to various places around the world to enjoy delicious food. They could go anywhere, anytime.
Well, today’s money has been spent. If you still want to go tomorrow, then go!
——At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Liu Yue appeared at the Danzai Ferry Terminal.
She came anyway just for a bite of egg tart.
Liu Yue took a taxi to Andrew. She had checked the travel guide in the morning and found that the best Portuguese egg tarts were bought at the main store.
Because the Portuguese tarts in the main store are freshly baked, those in other branches are sent there and re-baked, so they will not be as crispy.
She queued up and bought freshly baked Portuguese tarts.
The first bite feels hot, and then you feel the crispness of the tart crust.
To be honest, the taste of the Portuguese tarts is not much different from KFC's, both are equally fragrant and sweet. The most obvious advantage of Andrew's Portuguese tarts is the tart crust.
The freshly baked tart crust is very fragrant. If KFC's is just crispy, Andrew's is a little crispy and accompanied by a crackling sound.
At this moment, Liu Yue still felt that she was a little impulsive.
But she was very happy - she was not happy about coming to Macau or eating Portuguese egg tarts, but because she now had the ability to satisfy her wishes anytime and anywhere.
What's wrong with being impulsive? Of all things, her own preferences are the most important.
Liu Yue walked on the streets of Macau, feeling the wind blowing towards her. For the first time, she felt that life could be so happy.
Having money and time seems to equal happiness.
“I really want to take a set of relaxing photos,” she said. “I want that retro film-like style, with some warm colors, and the feeling of strolling through life.”
So, should she buy a better camera?
Although she didn't get to take the photo this time, Liu Yue didn't feel bad. Shenzhen is very close to Macau, so she will just come back next time.
How could she have any regrets? When all imperfections can be filled in the future, they seem insignificant.
Liu Yue's spending task today was 10,000 yuan. Before leaving, Sang Yu had already booked a hotel for her, which was the Metropolitan Suite at the St. Regis.
The hotel was recommended by Sang Yu based on the budget she gave. Liu Yue was used to booking rooms on travel websites. The price she found was more than 5,000 yuan. Just as she was about to pay, Sang Yu said wait a minute, the price she found on the official website was the same, and asked her to book directly on the official website.
Liu Yue asked humbly, "Is there any difference?"
"Yes," Sang Yu replied, "You can earn points from the hotel group by making an official reservation. After upgrading to a higher level of membership, you will receive many benefits, such as a free upgrade from a basic room to a suite, late check-out, and various welcome gifts."
After she paid, Sang Yu called the front desk of the St. Regis for her and asked her to reserve suite 17 or 18, and the floors had to be between 11 and 14.
"Why is that?" Liu Yue asked.
"Because the floor-to-ceiling windows in Room 17's living room offer the best view of Macau's Big Ben, and you can even see the Eiffel Tower from the bedroom."
Sang Yu put down the phone and smiled, "You're lucky, their room 1317 is still vacant tonight, you can move in."
Liu Yue hadn't expected there to be so many tricks involved in booking a hotel. Even with the same hotel price, the information gap could lead to a completely different travel experience.
She hugged Sang Yu's arm and invited her to go to Macau with her.
"Sang Yu, how am I supposed to go out without you? How do you know so much?"
Liu Yue deeply regretted that she had never liked buying clothes or going out to play before, so she had no chance to discover that Sang Yu had such a wide range of knowledge and so many hidden skills.
Sang Yu: "I want to go too, but I just went there last month and I can't renew my visa at the moment."
Well, Guangdong people have their own ways to prevent addiction when they go to Hong Kong and Macau.
So Liu Yue came alone. She checked into the St. Regis Hotel in the afternoon and then strolled around the streets of Macau.
She took a lot of landscape photos, bought some souvenirs and local specialties, and looked for delicious restaurants based on the ratings.
When passing through the casino, the system also specifically reminded her that gambling expenses were not included in the task amount.
Liu Yue: "Don't worry, I definitely won't gamble. Losing is nothing, winning is the scariest thing."
She knew that she had never been a person with great self-control and her luck was average.
Instead of hoping to get rich in the casino, Liu Yue felt that the system roulette was more practical.
After reading an online guide that said buying Lego in Macau was cheaper than in the mainland, she went there excitedly.
She doesn’t know whether it is really cheap or not, but she is very happy when she is shopping, and that is enough. Isn’t the purpose of buying toys to gain happiness?
Today's spending task has been successfully completed, and Liu Yue received a cash rebate of 4,000 yuan.
After watching the night view of Macau, she returned to the hotel with Lego.
While waiting for the elevator, Liu Yue noticed that there was a man next to her also carrying a yellow Lego bag. The color scheme of this brand was really eye-catching.
Coincidentally, the other party was also looking in her direction.
Their eyes met, Liu Yue smiled politely, the man seemed to smile too, then turned his head away.
When the elevator was about to arrive, Liu Yue heard a commotion in the hotel lobby, as if many people were screaming and calling someone's name.
Oh, Liu Yue remembered. Today was the Starlight Awards. Maybe some celebrities were staying here, and their fans were waiting.
If it were any other time, Liu Yue might have thought about going over to join in the fun, but she was tired from walking today and didn't want to move. At this moment, she just wanted to wait for the elevator to come down so that she could quickly go back to her room to take a shower and rest.
The elevator door opened and the man next to her made a ladies first gesture.
Okay, then she won’t be polite.
Liu Yue walked in and swiped the room card. The man did the same. When the elevator door was about to close, someone outside pressed it open again.
Several fans rushed into the elevator, turned around quickly, and aimed their camera phones at the male star walking towards them.
Liu Yue finally heard what the fans were shouting. It turned out to be Xie Zhengyang.
Her mood suddenly became very subtle. It was quite a coincidence...
The elevator was full of people, and Xie Zhengyang just stood there at the elevator door. The staff around him shouted at the fans to get out quickly.
Some people came out, while others stayed inside. Seeing this, the staff immediately started pulling them out, and Liu Yue was also pulled out by his arm.
"What are you doing!" She was startled. "I'm not a fan, I live here!"
