Chapter 3 Experiment
At 12:30 pm, Wen Yue, who had just finished eating and drinking, sat near the door, looking at the people coming in and out thoughtfully.
This tea restaurant is located in Central. It is an old store with a history of nearly 30 years and is also one of the most popular restaurants in the vicinity. During lunch time, the restaurant door opened and closed non-stop, and the customers in the store were always complaining.
The table where Wen Yue sat alone had changed three waves of customers in the past hour, a total of nine people.
But during this hour, the system prompt that there was a melon did not sound again.
Wen Yue asked in her mind: [Is it because the lives of these people are too ordinary and there is nothing new? 】
【No~】
The system gave an example: 【The middle-aged man in a flowered shirt at the table on your left has been having an affair with his neighbor's wife for a long time. He will be caught in bed by the neighbor in the afternoon. 】
【The man in a white T-shirt at the table across from you is a thief. He broke into three empty houses last night and stole almost 5,000 yuan, so he brought his girlfriend out to have fun. 】
【The man at the table across from you who smiled at you with a wicked smile, he is not good enough. 】
What a wicked smile!
Wait.
Wen Yue, who was almost choked, covered her mouth with her hand, coughed twice and asked: 【What do you mean by not good enough? 】
【He has premature ejaculation,】 The system thought for a while and said, 【Every time he is hard, it only lasts about two seconds. His wife is arguing with him for divorce because of this. 】
Hearing this, Wen Yue looked up at the man sitting at the table across from her.
He is quite tall and strong, at least 1.8 meters tall. Probably because he noticed Wen Yue's sight, he deliberately raised one hand, and the sleeve of his T-shirt slid down, revealing his bulging muscles. It can be seen
from this that whether a man is capable or not has nothing to do with his height and figure.
Wen Yue was thinking, and then she saw the man stood up from his seat, walked to her in a pretentious manner, bent his waist and asked, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"
[If I say I won't date the second man, can I earn melon value? ]
[Yes. ]
The system answered very affirmatively: [According to calculations, if you say so, he will be angry and attack you, and the result may be that you will be admitted to the hospital. Your father is the richest man, and your husband is also a well-known wealthy man in Hong Kong. After receiving the news, the Hong Kong media will take action and report it in various ways... Well, after such an operation, you can get at least 50,000 melon value. 】
One melon-eating value can be exchanged for one minute of life value, and 50,000 melon-eating values are 50,000 minutes, which means living more than 30 days longer.
Wow, so tempting!
But entering the hospital... Wen Yue compared the thickness of Miao Nan's arm with her own, and had to admit one thing-she couldn't afford this melon-eating value.
So Wen Yue stood up decisively, left a sentence "I have a husband", and quickly walked around Miao Nan and went out.
Back to the car parked on the side of the road, Wen Yue asked: "Since the people in the tea restaurant also have melons on their bodies, why didn't the system prompt when I saw them?"
【This...】 The system replied after a while, 【According to the regulations, there will be a prompt only when the melon owner punches in and obtains a melon-eating value of more than 1,000. 】
Wen Yue was surprised: "Melon owners are still divided into different levels in the eyes of your system?"
【This is the main system's regulation. 】
"But we need to be flexible and not too rigid in following the rules, don't you think?"
The system's voice was tangled: [But I'm not a human. ]
Wen Yue took a deep breath: "It's the same for your system. You bound me to earn melon-eating value, right? Your main system doesn't care about a few hundred melon-eating values, but look at our current zero account, do you think a few hundred melon-eating values are small?"
[It seems to be a lot. ]
"Really? No matter how thin a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. We earn melon-eating value, how can we pick and choose the melon owner?" Wen Yue said and changed the subject, "I'm going to call the police now to report the thief who broke into three empty houses. Can I earn melon-eating value after the news gets out?"
[Of course. 】
After getting a positive answer, Wen Yue quickly took out her cell phone from her handbag. Before she was about to make the call, she remembered to ask: "What's the name of the thief? Is there any evidence that he stole things?"
The system said a name, and then said: [There are photos of him stealing things, which need to be redeemed with melon points~]
"And melon points?"
[Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, host. 】
Wen Yue: [Okay, how many melon points are worth one photo? ”】
【One thousand.】
【How much?】
The system repeated the answer: 【One thousand melon-eating value can be exchanged for a photo.】
【I don’t want the photo, can I report it to the police directly?】
【The melon-eating value is calculated within half a month after receiving the evidence.】
【That is to say, if I report it directly to the police, the melon-eating value cannot be calculated.】
【Yes, host.】
Wen Yue finally understood why the system did not remind the melon owner who punched in and received a melon-eating value of less than one thousand. It takes one thousand melon-eating value to buy evidence, and it is not certain that you can earn one thousand after exposing it. This is basically a business that is sure to lose money!
Wen Yue took a deep breath and said: 【Co-founder, please be flexible.】
【No flexibility.】
[Actually, I want evidence mainly because of my sense of justice. I can't stand watching this kind of social cancer that only knows how to steal and cheat get away with it. Do you understand?]
The system said uncertainly: [It seems... I understand?]
Wen Yue continued to brainwash the system: [As a just system, you will definitely help me, right?]
[Okay... but if there are no photos, you can also call the police.]
[Without photos, there is no evidence. Even if you call the police, the police may not necessarily come. Even if they come, they may not necessarily find evidence. There is no way to guarantee that it is foolproof.]
After Wen Yue explained, she proposed a solution and asked, [How about this, let's cooperate, I will be responsible for calling the police, you pay the melon-eating value, just give me the number you can earn, you don't have to give me more, if it's less, just think of it as kindness, how about that?]
The system muttered: [It can't be too much.]
[Alas, it's all because I'm too poor. Otherwise, I would have paid for this myself. Why would I bother you, the kind-hearted system...]
[Okay, okay!] The system was finally softened by the love potion, [I'll help you eat the melon for worth it.]
Wen Yue made a V sign in her heart when she heard this, and said with a smile: [I knew that you are the best system.]
After that, she drove to the nearest police station and parked the car in advance. She took the envelope given by the system, found a child, and asked the other party to send it to the police.
The Hong Kong police have always attached great importance to publicity. They have set up a public relations department to connect with the media in order to inform the public of the progress of the case in a timely manner.
Theft is not a big case, but after the suspect was arrested, the police still contacted the media for notification according to the usual practice.
The police contacted well-known newspaper media people in Hong Kong. The news was received in the evening, and the relevant news was published in the newspapers issued the next morning.
So the next morning, Wen Yue was awakened by the reminder sound of "Ding - you have new melon points credited to your account", and when she checked the melon points, she found that she had accumulated more than 500.
After learning from the system that these melon points came from the news that the thief was caught, Wen Yue asked excitedly: "Am I going to get it?"
[At the current rate, the melon points you can get today will not exceed 1,000. ] The system said, and then changed its tone, [And these melon points belong to me~]
Wen Yue's head drooped instantly: "Okay."
But she was not disappointed in her heart. After all, she just wanted to do an experiment from the beginning to confirm whether this way of exposing the information of ordinary people would work.
...
After washing up, Wen Yue went downstairs to eat.
Although the original body was married, she had a bad relationship with her husband. They separated before their honeymoon and moved from the luxury house in Taiping Mountain to a seaside villa in Repulse Bay.
The house was left to the original body by her mother. After Wen Yue came here, she became the owner of the villa.
There are many servants in the villa, and they are all old employees who have worked for nearly 20 years. It can be said that they watched the original body grow up. But the original body is not cowardly, so no servant dares to take advantage of his age. Wen Yue lived very comfortably after she came here.
In the morning, she sleeps until she wakes up naturally, and there is breakfast when she gets up.
The only drawback is that the breakfast is all Western style, basically all kinds of bread with fried eggs and sausages, and the only drinks are milk and coffee, which Wen Yue doesn't like.
For breakfast, she prefers soy milk and fried dough sticks, or noodles cooked with soup powder.
But she had just arrived, and it was difficult for her to change too much, so she could only make do with the food. Fortunately, the food tasted good, and Wen Yue did not have any difficulty eating it.
While eating, Wen Yue's melon-eating value exceeded 800, and the growth rate gradually slowed down. Judging from the trend, it would be difficult to break 1,000.
It was normal to think about it. Theft was not a big case. Even if it was reported in many newspapers, it would certainly not occupy much space. Unrelated people would have limited interest in it. It was estimated that they would just read the title and the ending, and it would be difficult to generate curiosity to explore the process.
In fact, Wen Yue felt that unless the things that happened to ordinary people were particularly explosive, or triggered a criminal case like the melon on Huang Zhihao, it would be difficult to attract large-scale attention.
If you don't pay enough attention, you can only earn a few hundred or a few thousand melon points like now. If you are lucky, you may make a profit, but if you are unlucky, you may lose money.
If this continues for a long time, Wen Yue doubts whether the speed of earning melon points can keep up with the speed of consuming the rest of her life.
You have to think of a way.
Soon, Wen Yue came up with an idea, went upstairs to change clothes, took the key and mobile phone to the underground garage.
There were three cars in the original garage, a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and a BMW, which were often driven by the servants in the family, and were generally used to buy groceries or daily necessities.
Every time she entered the garage, Wen Yue couldn't help but sigh. Before she traveled through time, she was a fresh graduate who had just signed an offer. Her salary was not low in her city, but she couldn't expect to buy a car in the next three years. Even if she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the money, she couldn't even afford the lowest-end BMW.
Who could have thought of it? She
signed the offer first, and then she got into a car accident. Not only did she not die after being hit, but she also traveled through time to become the daughter of the richest man in a novel set in Hong Kong in the 1990s, and she could drive a luxury car at will.
As the red Lamborghini drove into the upward mountain road, the system finally remembered to ask: "Host, where are we going?"
Wen Yue smiled when she heard this.
Don't say it, this system is quite sensible. Before, it always said "you, you", but now it has learned to say "we" to get closer.
Turning the steering wheel, Wen Yue said with a smile: "Take you to eat melons."
...
Wen Yue considered that since it is difficult to get a lot of melon-eating value from ordinary people, she might as well shift her attention to people who have their own attention.
Where are the people who have their own attention? The entertainment industry and the rich must have a place.
The former is a gathering place for celebrities. In the world before she traveled through time, those big-name stars could be on the hot search for any little movement. Although some people always say that hot searches are bought, when it comes to news such as love, marriage, breakup, and cheating, there will always be a lot of real melon-eating people.
The latter are mostly low-key, but the lower-key they are, the more they can arouse the curiosity of ordinary people, which also leads to the occasional appearance of a few rich children, who can always quickly gain a lot of attention.
Before Wen Yue traveled through time, she often saw discussions about whether a gambling prince and his wife were in true love, and whether a certain heir of a wealthy family married a diving queen out of sincerity or for fame and fortune.
There were also many rumors about Hong Kong's wealthy people, and she, a post-00s who was born and raised in the mainland, had heard a lot of them.
Especially for the wealthy people in this era, even if they don't have three or four wives, five, six, seven or eight girlfriends are basic operations. If the mansion becomes a harem, how can there be less drama?
As long as she can get more gossip value, Wen Yue doesn't care what kind of gossip master she checks in, but considering her identity as the daughter of the richest man, it is relatively easy for her to contact the wealthy, so she set her sights on the wealthy in Hong Kong.
The first one to attack is the people in the original family -
no! She went back to the Wen family mainly to get to know the original body's family members, and eating melons was a side job. It would be best if there were melons, but if there were no melons... at worst, she would just go somewhere else to check in!
Of course, Wen Yue felt that the probability of no melons was low, and the reason was simple - the original body's biological father, Wen Rongsheng
, was a scumbag. As the richest man in Hong Kong, Wen Rongsheng was no less than other wealthy people in Hong Kong in terms of relationships between men and women. He had a legal wife, who was the original body's biological mother, a concubine, who was the second wife, Chen Baoqin, and two girlfriends who were taken home, who were the third wife Xu Meifeng and the fourth wife Zhou Baoyi.
These four women gave birth to children for Wen Rongsheng.
The first wife had a son and a daughter, but the boy died young, leaving only the original body with a girl.
The second room is a pair of siblings. The elder sister Wen Jiaqi married the eldest son of the shipping magnate. The younger brother Wen Jiadong has joined the company and is currently assigned to the UK to handle affairs. The
third room is a pair of sisters. Both of them are studying in the UK. The third wife Xu Meifeng is also studying in the UK.
The fourth room is an only son named Wen Jialiang. He is only eight years old this year and is still in elementary school.
Although Wen Rongsheng is a playboy, he is old-fashioned and thinks that the family should live together, so he took the second, third and fourth rooms to the love nest he once built with his wife.
The original mother was also intolerable. After the eldest son died and she was completely disappointed with this man, she spent millions to buy a seaside villa in Repulse Bay. In the last ten years of her life, she always lived in Repulse Bay with the original body.
Having said that, looking at this messy and complicated family relationship, you can know that the Wen family is definitely a watermelon field. There may not be big watermelons, but there are definitely a lot of small watermelons.
She doesn't ask for a long life, and it's okay to open a business for three months.
With this idea in mind, Wen Yue drove into No. 36 Barker Road with full expectations. Almost as soon as she entered the door, the housekeeper received the news, hurried out of the villa in the front, and arranged for someone to park Wen Yue. Entering
the living room, Wen Yue pretended to ask casually: "Is there no one at home today?"
The housekeeper surnamed Xu replied: "Yes, the husband is on a business trip, the second wife has work at the foundation, and the fourth wife just went out to the gallery." Although
the Wen family has a large population, there are only four people living there permanently, Wen Rongsheng, Chen Baoqin, and Zhou Baoyi and his son.
All three adults have jobs, not to mention Wen Jialiang, who is a student. Today is Monday and he must be at school during the day.
Wen Yue never expected that the obstacle to her first check-in plan was that everyone had something to do, but she was the only one!
But as a salty fish, the most important thing she lacked was time. She had come here, and she couldn't just go back without seeing the permanent residents of the Wen family.
So Calm sat down in the living room and turned on the TV.
Upon seeing this, Butler Xu quickly asked someone to prepare a fruit plate. With food, drink and entertainment, the waiting time was naturally no longer long.
Xiangjiang Primary School ended very early. Just after four o'clock, there was the sound of cars outside, and then a woman's voice: "Slow down! You can walk so fast without falling!"
As the woman's voice fell, a chubby little man wearing a British school uniform ran into the door like a gust of wind. When he was about to skip the hall, Little Fatty paused, stood still, looked at Wen Yue and asked unhappily, "What are you doing at home?" Wen
Yue had seen so many people in the past two days, Wen Yue had become accustomed to the seamless switching of Cantonese and Mandarin, and instantly understood the domineering and repulsive words of the children in front of her.
Just as she was about to fight back, a system prompt suddenly sounded in her mind: [Ding--there's a melon! 】
Wow!
Wen Yue's eyes lit up. The rich family was indeed a melon field, and such a big kid actually had a melon worth thousands of dollars hidden in his body!
Wen Yue rubbed her hands and asked excitedly: "What kind of melon?" 】
