He stood there, his gaze cold and sharp, fixed intently on Le Tian as if it were a physical entity.
Lotte held an ordinary watering can in his hand, watering the well-tended and thriving vegetable patch at his feet.
That look wasn't like looking at a person, but more like looking at an NPC that needed to be eliminated.
Lin Le felt a chill run down his spine from that deathly gaze, and even his watering motion froze.
He quickly messaged Zixi privately.
Le Tian said to Xi Yan, "Holy crap, Xi Xi, what's going on with your boss?! Why is he staring at me like that? His eyes are terrifying! Like he wants to plant me in the ground as fertilizer! Why didn't you tell me he was coming! If you had told me he was coming, I wouldn't have come!!"
Zi Xi followed closely behind and teleported into the courtyard, where she saw Gu Hong staring at Lin Le planting vegetables with a strange expression, like a waiting-for-husband stone.
When she received Lin Le's further criticism, she felt that the scene was strangely comical.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud in the private chat.
Xi Yan said to Letian, "Haha, I don't know either. He suddenly said he wanted to come and visit. Maybe the big shot has never seen vegetable planting before, so he finds it novel? You keep planting and let him learn."
Lin Le: "I don't believe you for a second!"
He gritted his teeth and, under the watchful eye of that cold gaze, painstakingly completed the watering task.
Then he immediately got up and typed nearby: "Um, I've finished watering and have some things to do, so I'm leaving now! Please enjoy your tour, sir!"
After saying that, he almost fled in panic and instantly disappeared via teleportation.
In the courtyard, only Gu Hong and Zi Xi remained, along with a flock of chattering virtual sparrows.
Gu Hong finally shifted his gaze from the vegetable garden, slowly sweeping across the entire yard, still remaining silent.
Zi Xi felt the atmosphere was too strange and tried to break the silence: "Uh... Boss, have you finished watching? Actually, it wasn't that interesting..."
The lone goose did not answer.
He stood there for a few more seconds, and then, [System] player [Lone Goose] left your home.
They came suddenly and left just as inexplicably.
Zi Xi stood alone in her small courtyard, scratching her head at the spot where Gu Hong had disappeared, completely bewildered.
"So... the big shot made a special trip just to watch Lotte grow vegetables for five minutes?"
She scratched her head, completely unable to comprehend this big shot's thought process.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen was teleported back to his own cold and simple high-class mansion, which had nothing but functional facilities.
He stood in the empty courtyard, the scene from just now replaying in his mind.
The man remained so naturally in her space, doing such ordinary things.
It was as if that was his privilege.
A feeling of suffocation, almost suffocating him, pressed down heavily once more.
He seemed even more uncomfortable.
One wave subsides only for another to rise; Qingchengyue's pursuit did not subside despite Guhong's continued disregard.
Instead, it escalated further, gradually evolving into a stage play about the power of money that attracted the attention of the entire server.
She roughly figured out a few of the AFK spots where Gu Hong would occasionally appear.
So for the next few days, whenever Gu Hong logged on, the system announcements started flooding the screen, as if the system had been taken over.
The dazzling fireworks effects illuminated almost half of the game map.
Expensive appearances and mounts were thrown at Lone Goose as if they were free, even though they were ultimately returned by the system.
Not only that, Qingchengyue also began to use money to suppress any female players who tried to get close to Guhong.
This has indeed made many female characters hesitate to approach Gu Hong.
Inside the Salted Fish Concentration Camp gang, everyone was eating melon seeds and clicking their tongues in amazement.
Big Knife: "This girl is a real 'rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned' woman. The money she's spent these past few days could probably buy a sports car, right?"
Yao Guang: "This crazy beauty is too much to handle. My brother's charm is just too much."
Big Knife: "Look! Another 99 red envelopes to express love! How much money is that?!"
