Chapter 187
"High-quality men? Are there any here...?" Xia Yueyue turned around and observed the players around her, wanting to find the high-quality men the system had mentioned immediately.
"High-quality men are similar to what is often called 'chosen ones' in the host world. These men usually have a high luck value and will achieve great success in a certain field in the future. Gaining the favor of such men can increase the host's beauty value more quickly," the Cupid system said.
"The host should seize the opportunity and win the favor of high-quality men as soon as possible."
Xia Yueyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard the system's explanation. She had heard before that there were some high-quality men in the world she was in, but this was the first time she had encountered one since she started playing online games.
Besides her own team, the only other people in this instance were the ones who had just stolen the boss. When Xia Yueyue looked over, two members of the opposing team had already logged off.
That leaves only those three people.
"Is it between them?" Xia Yueyue asked the system in her mind, her brown eyes quietly observing the three people not far away.
"Host Yueyue, this system has identified three high-quality men among them," the Cupid system replied.
Xia Yueyue immediately memorized the three people's IDs, momentarily ignoring Chen Chen who was speaking next to her.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Chen Chen followed her gaze, but only noticed the back of the swordsman named "Youyou".
"Don't you want the equipment?" He didn't know why Xia Yueyue suddenly started staring at the player named "Youyou".
"It's alright, Brother Chen. I'm just a little disappointed that I couldn't help everyone this time," Xia Yueyue said softly. "I don't need equipment. The weapon you gave me before was very valuable."
"I'll continue playing the dungeon with Brother Chen later."
......
12:00 AM.
A somewhat disheveled figure slowly emerged from the holographic gaming pod. A few greasy strands of hair were stuck to the recliner in the pod because Xia Yueyue hadn't washed her hair in the past week.
After Xia Yueyue came out, she stretched and asked, "System, how much love did you collect today?"
"The host has collected 200 points of affection today, 100 of which were contributed by that person named Chen Chen."
Xia Yueyue rubbed her sore eyes, but instead of washing up, she went straight back to her bed in the room: "Hmph, I played games with him for so long, and in the end all he gave me was some priest game equipment."
"Why send me game equipment? You might as well send me some clothes, bags, and cosmetics!" Xia Yueyue had been trying to woo men in the online game lately, and her voice was still as delicate as it was in the game. Now that the voice changer was off, her hoarse voice sounded particularly out of place with that tone.
"Why worry, host? With the explanation from this system, sooner or later someone will send you lots of gifts," the Cupid system tempted Xia Yueyue.
"That's true."
"I'm not going to argue with him."
"The host's affection points for today will be charged according to the previous ratio," the system suddenly announced.
"Relax, system, just deduct the affection points directly, you don't need to tell me."
The Cupid Love System had already warned Xia Yueyue before she was bound to the system that it would periodically collect love points to maintain her appearance.
At the time, Xia Yueyue directly agreed to bind with the system without asking how much love points the Cupid Love System would periodically charge. In the past few days, the system had only charged twice, so she paid even less attention to it.
Xia Yueyue lay in bed, turned on her phone screen in the dark, and habitually opened someone's WeChat Moments:
The girl in the photo with fox-like eyes has her dark hair simply braided, with some messy strands on her forehead. She makes a peace sign to the camera with a slight upturn of her lips.
Her classmates did the same thing, and although they looked tired, they were all smiling.
Image caption: Worked with my team members until now tonight, hahaha! We've all become prolific stay-at-home dads!
Xia Yueyue carefully examined every detail of the girl in the photo, then snorted and turned off her phone: "She's wearing such heavy makeup for a group assignment. When I become pretty, I won't dress up like her."
"I've always felt that she's not an honest girl."
"I don't know what Duan Shen likes about her."
In the pitch-black night, someone's malice is sprouting.

x is big.
"Duan Shen, why haven't you arrived yet?" The bustling traffic on the other end of the phone could be heard clearly even through the phone.
"Almost everyone in the class has arrived, you can't stand me up again this time." The speaker was the class monitor of Duan Shen's class.
"I know, I'll be there soon." Duan Shen hung up the phone and had just stepped out of the campus when he saw a familiar figure across the street. A girl wearing a baseball cap was talking to a few people around her. Although the brim of the cap covered half of her face, it was still easy to recognize her.
Duan Shi didn't know why, ever since he met You Yingning, he always saw her first in a crowd.
Even after You Yingning started pursuing him, he inexplicably agreed to date her.
Duan Shen suddenly realized that he hadn't received any text messages from her in the past few days, and it seemed that she... wasn't as clingy to him as before?
It's really strange...
Duan Shen shook off the strange thoughts in his mind and subconsciously strode across the street, while the girl in the baseball cap still didn't seem to notice him.
He stopped a few steps away from the group and looked at the figure.
A moment later, a male voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Senior, why is that person staring at you?"
Duan Shen took a closer look at the person and found that the boy who was speaking was an unfamiliar face. He had a baby face and a youthful look when he smiled. This boy was not a member of her group.
And he calls You Yingning...senior?
"Duan Shen, what are you doing here?" She looked over when she heard the voice and noticed him, but she did not walk to his side as usual.
Duan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm going out for a bit. Where are you going?" Duan Shen asked, glancing at the baby-faced boy out of the corner of his eye.
"We need to do some competition preparations with everyone at a coffee shop near the school," Yingning said.
The two hadn't been in much contact these past few days, and Duan Shen naturally didn't know about the competition. After hearing Ying Ning's words, a strange feeling resurfaced in his heart, and his phoenix eyes behind his glasses gradually deepened.
"Then send me a message when you're done," he said.
"Okay, goodbye then?"
Before Duan Shen could say goodbye, Ying Ning ignored his coldness and said to the female classmate next to her, "You just said it's called cheese latte, right? I'll go try it later."
"It's called a raw cheese latte, senior," the baby-faced boy reminded her, his eyes full of laughter.
"It seems I remembered it wrong."
Duan Shen watched silently as the group gradually walked away until they were out of sight, but he still did not take a step toward his destination.
Then the phone rang again: "Duan Shen, you're the only one missing from the whole class."
"If you make excuses not to come this time, I'm really not happy." The squad leader's voice came from beside Duan Shen's ear, which brought him back from his strange state.
"We'll be there soon." Duan Shen put his phone back in his pocket, finding it somewhat amusing. He had clearly planned to break up with You Yingning anyway, so why was he still bothered by so much?
Then, he dismissed the strange feeling in his heart and left directly.
