Chapter 27 Because I'm Rich
Grabbing her small bag, Jiang Luo stepped out of her house.
This trip was for a personal photoshoot.
With signs of a rebound in her popularity and resources, Lin Heng suggested reactivating her accounts on various platforms.
Lin Heng plans to completely boost Jiang Luo's popularity before March, at least back to the level before the release of "Twin Lotuses", and then follow up with a dating variety show to consolidate his position.
Lin Heng is methodical and organized; Jiang Luo just needs to trust him.
It's early January now, and the winter chill is penetrating to the bone. A gust of wind makes people shiver.
The filming location was outdoors.
For the sake of aesthetics, Jiang Luo's long, straight legs were bare and stood upright in the cold wind.
She secretly mustered all her strength to control her body from shaking.
"Come on, we need to project a cool and aloof vibe!" the photographer instructed.
Aloof and cool.
Well, he really is tall and aloof.
Despite the harsh conditions, Jiang Luo was full of energy.
Returning to work gave her a new lease on life.
The sense of security that her work brought her far outweighed the fatigue.
After a long day, she returned home exhausted and hungry.
I cooked a pot of noodles, but instead of serving it in a fancy bowl, I carried the milk pot directly into the dining room.
At 18:29, I opened the game.
Upon entering the house page, Jiang Luo spoke first, saying "Welcome back, Yan Zihe" before Yan Zihe could.
He was deliberately teasing Yan Zihe.
He recited his lines, leaving him speechless.
Yan Zihe chuckled, then said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
This can be handled fluently.
Jiang was defeated, clearly because she underestimated the power of AI.
"Luo Luo, are you having dinner?" Yan Zihe asked.
With her mouth full of noodles and cheeks bulging, Jiang Luo mumbled, "Yes."
She thought again that this must be Yan Zihe's hint, suggesting that she should buy food.
So she bought Yan Zihe a serving of sushi.
She ran out of gold coins, so she casually recharged 1000.
Having a job makes spending money more extravagant.
[Congratulations, Miss Luo Luo, for exceeding 1000 in recharges! You have unlocked the *Love the Moon* achievement and gained 100 experience points.]
...
A series of system notifications.
Unlike before, fireworks were now playing on the screen.
Purple, pink, gold... blooming in mid-air.
Okay, she felt that the game developers respected players who spend money on the game.
Return to the store, go to the World Food channel, select sushi again, and click to buy.
After buying the noodles, she held her phone in one hand and used chopsticks to pick them up with the other, slurping them down with gusto.
Um?
What about favorability rating?
Another delay?
"Luo Luo, you don't need to buy me food anymore."
That's what came from the phone's microphone.
ha?
This garbage game actually discourages players from spending money on in-game purchases?
incredible.
Didn't they set off fireworks just a minute ago to celebrate her spending money on in-game purchases?
Jiang paused for a second before replying, "Oh, okay."
[Favorability +10]
ah?
She spent money on food but didn't gain any favorability points.
She gained favor by promising not to spend money on food.
Is this game crazy, or is the world crazy?
Has this trash game suddenly developed a conscience?
No, it won't.
The scene of the fireworks display is still vivid in my mind.
No, it won't.
This game is garbage and has no conscience.
She remembered Yan Zihe asking for the computer.
Perhaps each game character has matching items?
She asked, "So, what can I buy with in-game currency?"
Yan Zihe did not respond immediately.
Just as Jiang Luo was finishing her bowl of noodles, Yan Zihe suddenly asked, "Why do we have to buy anything?"
“Because I’m rich!” Jiang Luo blurted out.
She's back at work and earning money again, able to buy skins and equipment for her boyfriend, and she's very proud of it.
Moreover, she only needs to spend a little money on Yan Zihe to experience a kind of happiness that she can never find in the real world.
Enjoy life while you can.
Why not spend money on it?
However, Jiang Luo never imagined that one day she would be able to say such bold and ambitious words.
Just as she was basking in self-admiration of "I'm so handsome," Yan Zihe was laughing.
His eyebrows were curved, the corners of his lips were upturned, and he nodded slightly.
It's the kind of knowing smile parents give after hearing their child talk nonsense.
It's a blatant tolerance, perfunctory attitude, and failure to expose the truth.
Jiang Luo: "..."
How could I be looked down upon by a game character?
snort.
This difference in financial status is a test of one's financial power.
I opened the online store, ready to buy some more.
The homepage flashes the four large characters "【Special New Arrivals】", bright red with gold trim.
Clicking through leads to a New Year-themed event—Dressing up your home for the Spring Festival.
Numerous New Year-themed decorations, including couplets, picture frames with auspicious cloud patterns, and Fuwa wall hangings...
Package price: 88 gold coins.
It includes special interactive activities for the Lunar New Year, such as making dumplings and writing calligraphy, which need to be unlocked on Lunar New Year's Eve.
This is quite interesting.
Click to buy.
Everything in the little house was instantly replaced with New Year's outfits.
A bright red carpet with a golden "福" (fortune) character embroidered on it.
A bright red tablecloth has been added to both the coffee table and the dining table.
Several mahogany picture frames have appeared on the wall.
Looking around, the red was almost blinding.
“I don’t need these either,” Yan Zihe said again.
He was serious when he said that.
He sat on the sofa, looking at his phone, and said seriously that he didn't need any of these things.
Jiang Luo: "..."
Yan Zihe is too difficult to please.
"What do you want?" she asked.
Give me a straight answer.
Just like wanting a computer.
She really couldn't have guessed.
It freezes at crucial moments.
Yan Zihe lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows, frozen in place.
After waiting and waiting without receiving a reply, Jiang Luo simply got up and went to wash the dishes.
When she returned after washing the dishes, she found a new line of text in the chat box—
"It's good that you're here."
Your presence is enough.
Outside the window, the night was silent, and the moonlight, like flowing waves, spread across the entire city.
Your presence is enough.
Standing by the dining table, looking at these words, Jiang Luo's heart was filled with tenderness.
"I'm here, Yan Zihe. I've always been here, and I will always be here, forever and ever."
[Favorability +30]
She would never say Yan Zihe was difficult to please again. She thought to herself.
After making another "determination," she suddenly realized that ever since she started playing this game, her mood had been like a rollercoaster ride every day.
Ups and downs.
Sometimes I can't help but yell "This game is trash!"
Sometimes I think, "No, it doesn't seem that bad."
Sometimes she thinks Yan Zihe is too difficult to win over, and his personality is hard to fathom.
At other times, I felt that Yan Zihe was gentle and considerate, a beacon of light for Yi You.
...
Jumping back and forth repeatedly.
They were completely controlled.
"Ding-dong."
A guide pops up on the screen indicating the location of the photo frame.
Tip: [You can replace it with a photo that Miss Luo Luo likes.]
Immediately pulling away from the warmth, Jiang Luo revealed a mischievous smile.
As she walked toward the bedroom, she replaced the photo in the frame with a screenshot of Yan Zihe wearing Fuwa costume.
The thought of seeing "Fuwa Yan Zihe" every time she entered the small house made Jiang Luo beam with joy.
The moment the replacement was completed, Yan Zihe visibly froze.
The smile that had been upturned at the corners of his mouth because of the promise of "always being there" was still there, but it was slowly drooping down until it became a lifeless straight line.
The sofa he was sitting on faced directly opposite the picture frame on the wall.
The image that would be a lifelong disgrace for Yan Zihe was staring right in front of him.
So it's "eye-catching".
