Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Spending Money Day 44
It was not until she was having dinner in the restaurant that night and felt the romantic atmosphere. Seeing the neighboring tables filled with couples showing their affection, that Liu Yue realized belatedly that today was Valentine's Day.
Tsk... Although the system's sign-in page also displays the date, her attention is on the task amount every day, so she has no time to pay attention to these details.
The restaurant gave roses to each couple, and Liu Yue also received one.
"The roses on Valentine's Day, they make me miss them so much," she said.
Sang Yu: "Has anyone ever given you roses before?"
"No, I sold roses."
Liu Yue frankly said, "When I was in junior high school, I bought roses at the flower market and sold them outside high-end restaurants. Mobile payments weren't popular back then, so cash was more common. I even had people give me 100 yuan and not ask for change."
Sang Yu played the supporting role: "Then you must have earned a lot of pocket money."
"Not much, thank you."
Liu Yue sighed and shook her head. "There's only one person this generous. Most people just ignore me. Later I learned that they prefer beautifully packaged rose bouquets. Even rich people wouldn't even look at a single rose like mine."
"And I was so stupid back then. My classmates would negotiate the return price when buying roses at the market, but I didn't even know it was possible! In the end, it was past ten o'clock that evening, and I could only go home with a bunch of roses. Luckily, my dad was there..."
Liu Yue paused and continued, "In the end, my adoptive father bought them all. I worked all day, but in the end, the money I earned was still for my family."
The system once said that she had no talent for making money, and maybe that was true...
Well, that doesn’t matter. After all, her talent for eating, drinking and having fun is rare!
Liu Yue held her chin in her hand and said, "So now when I see roses on Valentine's Day, what I think of is not romantic love, but my failed entrepreneurial experience."
Sang Yu comforted her: "Failure is the mother of success."
Zhang Cheng encouraged her: "Learn from your failures, and success will be just around the corner."
Liu Yue rejected their chicken soup and said solemnly: "Three generations of eating, drinking and having fun will ruin the family, and investing in a business will go bankrupt in three years."
"In order to live up to my parents' expectations and to be a useful member of society, I should focus on spending money and work hard to boost GDP!"
Sang Yu:......
Zhang Cheng: …
Well, she has money, so whatever she says is right.
After dinner, Liu Yue lay motionless on the bed playing with her cell phone.
She didn't shower tonight, not because she didn't like cleanliness, but because she was worried about altitude sickness. However, Liu Yue still wiped her body briefly, at least to help with the problem psychologically.
She posted the photos she took in Dali two days ago on her Moments, and sure enough, she received a lot of likes.
Although her landscape photos seem a little out of place among all the videos showing affection, this is exactly the effect she wants!
A new message popped up on the chat page, from WeChat Sports - Ji Zishuo liked her step count.
Hey, but she didn’t move much today, her step count didn’t even exceed 10,000, and she didn’t occupy anyone’s cover?
Liu Yue responded with a like, and Ji Zishuo soon came to chat with her.
At this moment, she understood a little bit. So this was the function.
Ji Zishuo shared with her his favorite songs recently, and asked her how her trip in Yunnan was and whether she had any altitude sickness.
Liu Yue: [After hearing what you said, I suddenly feel a little dizzy]
This wasn't just a perfunctory response, it was the truth. Could it be that she had been lying in this position for so long that her head was uncomfortable?
Then she couldn’t play with her phone anymore. Liu Yue sent Ji Zishuo a good night emoticon, then adjusted the angle of her pillow and prepared to go to sleep.
Ji Zishuo: ...
No, what does she mean?
He worked hard to look up information, write a draft, and think of a lot of things to say, but she fell asleep just as he started to say the beginning?
Ji Zishuo fell into self-doubt again - maybe his opening remarks were too boring? But it shouldn't make people sleepy so easily, right? This is better than melatonin.
Ji Zishuo was thinking hard, while Liu Yue slept soundly until dawn.
She was lucky, the weather was sunny today and there were few clouds in the sky.
The hotel delivered breakfast to her room. Liu Yue drank coffee while admiring the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain opposite.
There was no obstruction in the area in front of her, and she could see the blue sky and the golden mountains.
The visibility in Lijiang is very high and the atmospheric environment is clean. The sunrise shines on the snow-capped mountains, spreading from a small touch of gold to the entire mountain range.
The rolling snow-capped mountains were shrouded in golden light, presenting a dazzling warm hue. Liu Yue took a photo. The clear lake was filled with the reflection of the golden mountains, creating a unique and magnificent beauty.
“So beautiful…”
Liu Yue said with emotion: "I was worried that there wouldn't be enough snow in February, but fortunately, the reflection of the snow-capped mountains is still very strong."
The sun shining on the Golden Mountain lasted only about ten minutes. Liu Yue's plan yesterday was to change into traditional Chinese clothing and take photos of the sun shining on the Golden Mountain on the terrace, but she got up late and missed the opportunity.
But it doesn’t matter, just take a casual photo in casual clothes to better show the relaxed feeling when traveling.
She can enjoy the scenery with just her eyes, while others have to drive there to see it. Her money power is really useful.
Liu Yue slowly finished her breakfast in the room and took a car to Baisha Airport.
On the way, Sang Yu covered all her exposed skin with sunscreen. When Liu Yue actually sat in the co-pilot seat of the helicopter, she realized how necessary this behavior was.
Liu Yue also wore a pair of sunglasses - they were cheap ones bought on the street, purely as a prop for taking photos.
When she returns to Shenzhen, she must buy a few expensive pairs. She hadn't thought of this before, so she quickly added it to her memo.
It was Liu Yue's first time riding a helicopter, and she was like a curious baby, curious about everything she saw. Fortunately, she still retained her basic rationality and only asked questions, never touching it rashly.
While debugging the operating console, Zhang Cheng answered her countless questions and calmed her emotions.
As they were preparing to take off, a strong wind suddenly blew up. Liu Yue was a little worried, but seeing Zhang Cheng's calm expression, she also calmed down.
"Can we still fly today?" she asked.
"Of course, we can just wait until this storm passes."
——In fact, it is possible to fly against the wind in this situation, but Liu Yue has never flown before, and the strong wind after leaving the ground will make her very uneasy.
The wind died down, and Zhang Cheng took off quickly. The helicopter made a loud noise as it circled. Fortunately, Liu Yue had put on headphones beforehand, but the rumble still made her heart pound.
One meter, two meters... The helicopter slowly lifted off the ground. Liu Yue's hands gripped the safety belt tightly, the weightlessness making her palms sweat. She wanted to look down but didn't dare, so she closed her eyes and slowly opened them.
There's nothing to be afraid of; it's not like she hasn't flown before.
Liu Yue convinced herself in her heart that although the riding experience of a helicopter and a plane was very different, they were both aircraft and very safe!
Also, the sightseeing experience on the helicopter was amazing.
Looking down at Lijiang, you will see the lush Dongba Grand Canyon, the pure natural Pearl Lake, and the magnificent Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
It’s finally here! Liu Yue was cheered up.
This is the advantage of having your own person in the driver's seat. As long as you apply in advance and make good records, you don't have to fly along a fixed sightseeing route.
Seeing her expression become excited, Zhang Cheng slowed down the helicopter's flight speed and circled over the snow-capped mountain area.
Liu Yue seemed to be looking at the scenery, but in reality, she was looking at the built-in map in her mind. The position of the debris was now stable, and as the helicopter approached the target location, Liu Yue asked Zhang Cheng to fly lower.
Zhang Cheng piloted the helicopter downwards, explaining to her, "This is a quicksand slope. If you're hiking into the mountain, this is the most difficult part. A novice will almost slide every three steps."
In Zhang Cheng's understanding, Liu Yue may have seen a hiking video online, which ignited her passion, but she ignored her own physical fitness.
So, he would fly around here for a while longer, letting her enjoy the view more times.
The process was completely wrong, but the result was what Liu Yue wanted.
The system's automatic pickup function is very powerful. Before Liu Yue could see where the energy fragments were, the system reminded her that they had been collected.
She looked at the fragments—she saw nothing at first, but after a closer look, she realized there was something there. If it were any smaller, it would be no different from dust.
...No wonder the system is not in a hurry. Not to mention that only the host can see this thing, even ordinary people can see it. Are you sure you can find it?
But no matter what, it's a happy thing to complete the collection.
Liu Yue was eagerly awaiting the result. The system told her that the recycling reward for this fragment was 17 points.
The result was better than Liu Yue expected. The worst case scenario she imagined was 1 point. It seems that the system is quite generous.
100 points is 10 billion, and 17 points is equivalent to 1.7 billion, yay!
Liu Yue excitedly asked the system: "Where is the next fragment?"
System: "Not found yet. Once detected, the host will be notified."
Well, reality is not a game after all, there are no serial tasks one after another.
But this is also a good thing, if the interval between side quests is too short, she will not have time to complete the main quest. Spending the daily quest funds is her top priority.
Liu Yue won 10,000 yuan today, and she should think about how to spend it after she lands.
As for now, she was going to enjoy the scenery from the helicopter tour.
"What beautiful snow-capped mountains!" Liu Yue made a new request. "Let's fly higher. I want a bird's-eye view of the entire mountain."
"no problem."
Seeing that she had fully adapted, Zhang Cheng asked her, "Do you want a more exciting flying experience?"
Liu Yue subconsciously grabbed the hatch: "How exciting is it?"
"It's about the roller coaster level, not too difficult. After all, this is a civilian helicopter."
Liu Yue felt itchy after hearing what he said. She was a little timid, but she really wanted to play.
She looked at Sang Yu who was sitting in the back and asked her, "Are you scared?"
——This question was in vain. Seeing that she was calm and kept switching devices to take pictures of her, Liu Yue knew that she couldn't be afraid.
Sure enough, Sang Yu smiled at her and said, "There's nothing in the amusement park that can make me scream."
Liu Yue gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Sang Yu is so brave, this is what a grown-up woman should be like!"
She was infected by the power of courage and told Zhang Cheng that she wanted to play.
Zhang Cheng nodded and asked Liu Yue to sit down.
Liu Yue nervously stared ahead when she suddenly felt the helicopter's flight angle shift. The nose of the helicopter tilted upward, and her waist rested completely against the backrest. The upward push, accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, overwhelmed her. Her first reaction was to close her eyes.
After reaching a certain height, the helicopter began to fly steadily. Liu Yue thought the exciting part was over and had just opened her eyes, but she didn't expect Zhang Cheng to dive down again, scaring her and making her scream.
After returning to a stable state, Liu Yue was still a little shocked. She dared to say that the roller coaster at the amusement park was definitely not as thrilling as this!
While the roller coaster's ascents and descents were steeper, she was in the sky. There were no fixed tracks, and she didn't know when it would start or end... everything was unknown!
Zhang Cheng asked her with a smile: "Did you get scared?"
The answer is of course obvious, he was not deaf just now.
But Liu Yue was very stubborn. After she recovered, she pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, it's okay. This little slope is nothing. I thought you were going to do a flip in the air with me."
Zhang Cheng: "Do you really want to play this? Then I can also--"
"No, no!" Liu Yue quickly interrupted him, "I was just saying it casually!"
Not only Zhang Cheng was laughing, but Sang Yu in the back row also thought about all the sad things before he suppressed the corners of his mouth that were curled up wildly.
Liu Yue: ...
These two are so annoying!
"Actually, this helicopter can't do that kind of maneuver."
Zhang Cheng said, "If you want to flip in the air, you need a fighter jet. So, for safety reasons, I can't take you flying like that."
Liu Yue pretended to be surprised: "Oh, is that so? That's such a pity, I really wanted to try it."
Zhang Cheng cooperated: "Yeah, it's all because of the helicopter today."
——If the helicopter could talk, it would definitely curse very badly.
Although he couldn't do a flip in the air, Zhang Cheng still took Liu Yue to play in the sky for a long time.
After Liu Yue recovered, she felt a mixture of wanting to play and a bit scared, but in the end, the desire to play won out. She flew for over two hours and was still a bit dazed when she landed.
It was so much fun that her desire to buy a helicopter reached its peak.
At the same time, she was also itching to get a pilot's license. Although it was fun to have Zhang Cheng take her flying, it would be even more fun if she could sit at the control panel by herself.
Sang Yu had grown accustomed to her sudden enthusiasm and said she would arrange relevant courses for her. She didn't remind Liu Yue that she still had a driver's license test to complete.
Let her do whatever she wants to do. It doesn’t matter if she gives up halfway. It’s enough as long as she is happy in the first half.
Anyway, her life has unlimited opportunities for trial and error.
Liu Yue was in a good mood at the moment. She had obtained the fragments and had a lot of fun in the sky just now.
When she was tired of playing, she went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch, and while eating she thought about where to go in the afternoon.
Although she had rented the helicopter for a day, she had no intention of flying all day. Furthermore, the morning flight was enough for her to see all the beautiful sights of Lijiang, so it was time to do something else in the afternoon.
Sang Yu had been observing Liu Yue's physical condition to make sure she was not feeling unwell.
At the same time, she was also thinking about what to do with Liu Yue in the afternoon.
Don't even think about scenic spots. Jinmao Puxiu organizes many local activities. You don't have to rush to enjoy the activities that the hotel can offer. They are outdoor activities with low physical activity and you can rest at any time...
Sang Yu asked her: "Do you want to experience live-fire shooting?"
Live ammunition? Is this word allowed to appear in China?
Liu Yue now knew it was possible. There was a legally operated live-fire shooting range near the airport. This wasn't an isolated case; some major cities even offered indoor live-fire shooting, using real guns and ammunition.
Of course, these items are strictly controlled. When Liu Yue arrived at the scene, she found that the guns were all fixed on chains, and they had to be registered with their real names, and the consumption of each bullet was recorded in detail.
There were pistols and rifles here, and the price was calculated by the bullet. Liu Yue saw that there were ten types of guns on the display, so she asked the owner to buy a hundred bullets first, and she would fire ten rounds of each to test the feel.
As for the price? I don’t know, she didn’t check.
Moreover, she doesn't need a coach here to teach her skills - Zhang Cheng is right next to her.
But the club's coach is not completely useless, at least he serves as a photography instructor.
In this regard, he is much more professional than Zhang Cheng.
Liu Yue started playing with the pistol first. She was very nervous as it was her first time touching a gun. Almost every time Zhang Cheng said a word, she made a gesture. If he didn't speak, she wouldn't dare to move the gun.
The recoil of the first bullet was very strong. Liu Yue's palms where she was holding the gun shook, and both of her hands felt numb.
The sound of the bullet firing was quieter than she had imagined, since it was a civilian bullet after all. But the accuracy...
Zhang Cheng encouraged her: "It's already very good for a beginner to play like this. Just a few more shots and you'll get the hang of it."
Liu Yue also thought so. When the second bullet was fired, at least it was on the target!
What a great progress! Was she a sharpshooter in her previous life?
...Although this fantasy was shattered by the next few bullets, Liu Yue enjoyed the fight very much.
She discovered that shooting was really a good way to relieve stress.
When she held the gun, there was no other thought in her mind except aiming and hitting the target.
She had become increasingly accustomed to the recoil of the gun, and her grip on it had become increasingly steady. At the moment the bullet was fired, her mind went blank for a moment, then was filled with a huge sense of instant feedback and satisfaction.
If she hits the target, she is happy. If she misses, she must be very unwilling and will be motivated to try again.
She had used up a hundred bullets without realizing it. Seeing her concentration, Sang Yu knew that she was not satisfied yet, so she asked the boss to refill the magazine before it was empty.
From Liu Yue's perspective, she just needs to shoot to her heart's content, and the bullets will never run out. She will have fun here today, until she doesn't want to play anymore.
After playing with the target enough, the boss also replaced it with a hanging glass bottle. This made it more difficult for Liu Yue, because the glass bottle would sway slightly along the rope, making the target not only smaller but also dynamic.
Although Liu Yue usually says "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up", today she has the interest and determination to become more courageous after setbacks.
Keep fighting, as long as you have money, there are plenty of bullets, but she still doesn't believe it!
Liu Yue wasted her bullets here like a loser, and the tourists next door were so envious that they were almost drooling.
Someone whispered, "Is this the boss's relative? He's playing with guns like they're free."
Bullets here are twenty yuan a round! This is really money-spending, faster than it can be thrown away.
"No, I just saw the girl next to her go to pay. She's either a relative or simply rich."
Tourist: ...
Damn, that sounds so Versailles, doesn't it? When will he finally be "just rich"?
The simple and wealthy Liu Yue finally had her fill. When she put down the gun and regained her senses, she felt her arms were sore.
Shooting is fun for a while, and it’s fun all the time... It doesn’t matter, just go back to the hotel and have a massage.
Liu Yue made the decision happily and ran over to Sang Yu to look at the photos she had taken.
Wow, so cool! Who is this dashing, gun-toting female agent? It's her!
Although this series of character settings were made up by her, the pictures that Sang Yu took of her are indeed very atmospheric. Just looking at the original pictures, they are already very impressive.
Liu Yue praised her: "I feel that your photography skills have improved a lot. Now the pictures you take are getting better and better."
Sang Yu: "Of course the photo looks good because you are good-looking, why are you praising yourself?"
Liu Yue chuckled and hugged Sang Yu tightly.
Sang Yu pinched her arm to help her relax her muscles first.
As long as the results were clearly demonstrated, there was no need to mention the painstaking research process. Rather than boasting about his own efforts, Sang Yu hoped to leave Liu Yue with the impression that he could do anything.
The fragments have been obtained, and from now on Liu Yue will just have fun in Yunnan.
She lived very comfortably at Jinmao Puxiu. After watching the snow-capped mountains for several days, she moved to Jinmao Hyatt.
The Hyatt can also see the sunrise over Jinshan Mountain, but it is farther away. However, Liu Yue likes the alpacas and peacocks raised in the hotel very much. She also saw a black swan.
There are also two Border Collies in the hotel. Liu Yue sometimes wonders, are alpacas considered sheep? Can Border Collies herd sheep?
Unfortunately, she didn't get to see a similar scene. Furthermore, the Border Collies seen in the city were all pet dogs, while the Border Collies that could truly herd sheep were working dogs. Liu Yue searched for photos and found that both types of dogs were called Border Collies, but they looked exactly the same.
Liu Yue arrived in Yunnan on the third day of the Lunar New Year and played there until the eighth day.
She ate yak beef hotpot, visited Lijiang Old Town, filmed a blockbuster in Blue Moon Valley, rode a horse in Yunshanping, experienced local customs and culture in Shuhe Ancient Town, and rowed a boat in Lashi Lake...
She won 10,000 yuan each time these days, and Liu Yue accepted it well. Not only was she not in a hurry, she also felt a sense of relief that the prize had finally been awarded.
After all, the cost of traveling in Yunnan was quite low, and even 10,000 yuan a day wouldn't be enough to spend. She also bought a lot of things online and asked the property management to store them for her and deliver them to her home when she returned.
Liu Yue’s plan is to go shopping for another day tomorrow, buy more local specialties and souvenirs, and return to Shenzhen on the tenth day of the new year.
By the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival holiday was over. Her two nannies would be back to work, cleaning the house for her, and her other bodyguard, Ren Zhen, would also be on duty.
Oh, and her car has arrived too! The car He Xi sent has been registered and driven from Hong Kong to her garage, finally making her parking space useful. The car Chloe sent has also arrived at the 4S dealership, waiting for her to pick it up.
Sang Yu had already booked a charter flight and was currently planning her trip for tomorrow. She had arranged several restaurants as backup options, all featuring dishes that Liu Yue hadn't yet tried.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. In the evening, Liu Yue suddenly told her that she wanted to go to Ruili to buy jadeite tomorrow.
Huh? Sang Yu was a little confused, but she immediately adjusted her schedule and immediately sent a message to Zhang Cheng.
Sang Yu understood this as the whim of a rich person and an impulsive act, but Liu Yue really had to buy jade, and an expensive one at that.
The reason is simple: when she signed in just now, she won 10 million.
