Chapter 219 - 151: Relationship Overdraft
After a three-win streak, they thought this time would be a walk in the park. After all, it was obvious Huang Qian and Liu Menghan didn’t have a big sponsor backing them.
But in the end, they got sniped!
And by a commercial advertiser, of all people!
What a disgrace!
But that’s how live-streaming PK battles are. Anything can happen, and you have to accept the outcome if you’re going to play.
After accepting their punishment, the two losing sponsors dejectedly closed the co-stream.
Meanwhile, Huang Qian and Liu Menghan’s stream was being flooded with comments like "Thank you, Shennan Pet Society!" and "The sponsor is amazing!"
The audience knew it was a business collaboration, but they hadn’t expected the sponsor to be so generous.
Dropping two to three hundred thousand worth of gifts on two streams at once!
Of course, Liu Menghan and Huang Qian were also a bit surprised. After all, Lin Shen had taken their advice and agreed to handle the post-production editing of the video footage himself.
But when it came to payment, he still sent gifts equivalent to the original agreed-upon price.
’Jiang Wan’s boyfriend is so generous!’
Huang Qian and Liu Menghan couldn’t help but feel this way. Flattered, the two women hurriedly thanked him while also starting to promote his business.
’Can’t just take the gifts for free, after all.’
"Darlings, go follow our top sponsor! His Shennan Pet Society is opening soon. It’s over 160 square meters, the atmosphere is cozy and therapeutic, and the cats inside are super cute."
"Hanhan and I went to check it out, and we’ll post the video in a little while. Thanks for all your support, everyone! We’ll also be doing a ticket giveaway on the stream then!"
[Host has spent 230,000 on TikTok this session, receiving a total of 92,000 in Shuaiyang cashback!]
「Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received an income of RMB 92,000 at 00:28 on August 31. Current balance: 8,925,000」
Lin Shen stayed in Huang Qian and Liu Menghan’s stream for a little longer, leaving once their follower count broke twenty thousand.
’Now all that’s left is to find bloggers with over 100,000 followers for mutual follows.’
Lin Shen thought for a moment. Including Huang Qian, Liu Menghan, Jiang Wan, and that little girl Zheng Yanfei, he calculated he was still six people short.
So, he sent private messages to a number of pet bloggers on TikTok to arrange mutual follows and discuss future collaborations.
After all, when the Cat Cafe opened, he would definitely need to run a wave of promotional ads in advance.
It would be too late to start negotiating collaborations with these pet bloggers then.
After contacting a dozen or so, Lin Shen finally completed the Shuaiyang task.
[Task: Mutually follow ten bloggers with 100,000+ followers and gain 20,000 followers (Completed)]
[Shuaiyang Lv. 5 → Lv. 6]
[Reward: Any spending on TikTok will now grant a 40% → 45% rebate.]
[Reward: Random Skill Book *1]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully leveling up Shuaiyang to Lv. 6. Rewarding special item: Relationship Overdraft Card *1]
[Level-Up Task: Accumulate 1,000,000 in spending on TikTok and gain 50,000 followers. Current: 260,000 / 1,000,000]
’Finally, a special reward!’
Lin Shen had been looking forward to a special reward from Shuaiyang. He thought he’d get one at level 5, but it had belatedly arrived at level 6.
’Not too late, though.’
Lin Shen first opened the random Skill Book.
Although the singing skill he got last time wasn’t very useful in daily life, it was much better than something in the arts or sciences.
So this time, Lin Shen once again decisively chose a professional skill.
[E-Class Racing License Technology: Master basic race car driving techniques and theoretical knowledge, able to skillfully operate a race car on a track.]
’A racing license?’
That was a direction Lin Shen had never considered.
’While it seems pretty useless day-to-day, if I buy a sports car later, I might be able to take it to the track!’
That thrill of speeding by in a race car was a dream for so many guys!
Lin Shen smiled knowingly, then began to study the newly acquired special item—the Relationship Overdraft Card.
[Effect: Choose a girl you have interacted with but who does not appear on the Goddess Manual. Overdraft your normal relationship with her into one of "Partner," "Lover," or "F*ck Buddy," and receive the corresponding effects provided by the system.]
[If the overdrafted relationship is successfully made real, the system will grant a double capture reward!]
’So that’s how it’s used!’
After understanding the effect of the Relationship Overdraft Card, Lin Shen’s eyes lit up, but he was immediately stumped.
’Who should I choose?’
First, she couldn’t be too ugly. Second, he had to predict the potential future relationship between them, as he would only get the double reward from the system after making the overdraft a reality.
In other words, there had to be a certain level of mutual affection.
After some thought, Lin Shen had two candidates in mind.
One was Shen Yun, the other was Zheng Yanfei.
Needless to say, with the former, Lin Shen could conquer that sexy, mature woman whenever he wanted, turning her into either a "Lover" or a "F*ck Buddy."
As for which one she would become, Lin Shen wasn’t sure yet.
But with Zheng Yanfei, it was easy to decide. She would definitely be a Lover!
Ever since he sent gifts to that little girl in Jinling that night and got in touch with her, the two of them would chat on WeChat from time to time.
Lin Shen could clearly sense Zheng Yanfei’s affection and interest in him. She even took the initiative to invite him out occasionally.
However, because he was busy, he had never agreed.
’But with the Relationship Overdraft Card...’
In the end, Lin Shen chose to overdraft Zheng Yanfei as his Lover.
Soon, her information was updated in the Goddess Manual.
[Goddess Name: Zheng Yanfei]
[Appearance: 6/10 (Campus belle level. Young and beautiful face, skin is delicate, smooth, and full of elasticity.)]
[Figure: 5/10 (Tall stature, slender and straight legs, buttocks and chest are of average proportions.)]
[Personality: 4/10 (Likes to compare and show off, indulgent and lazy, has materialistic and power-worshipping tendencies, possesses a certain amount of petty scheming, a green tea bitch.)]
[Abilities: 10/10 (Innate Sacred Canary Physique! Proficient in makeup and various fashion styles, excellent taste in clothes, knows how to please a sponsor, can provide great emotional value in daily life and during late-night "cooking," extremely flexible body from being a dance student, knowledgeable about the prices of various luxury brands.)]
[Note: This ability score is a comprehensive judgment based on the overdrafted Lover relationship. Please consider it carefully in conjunction with the actual situation.]
[Progress: Overdrafted. Please check again after making it a reality.]
[Congratulations to the Host on successfully obtaining a second Lover (Overdrafted)! The system will provide "desire fulfillment" for the "Lover," helping the Host to solidify the relationship and forge a more secure canary cage.]
[...99%...100%!]
[The system will provide a 50% cashback on spending for this Lover (Note: Once the overdrafted relationship is made real, the cashback rate will increase to 100%).]
[It is worth noting that although this is a Lover relationship, the Host’s behavior should not be overly perverted. Indulging in lust is not a healthy or positive lifestyle. Your goal should be the stars and seas, to travel to the most spectacular and beautiful corners of this world, not to be obsessed with carnal desires.]
...
After carefully reviewing the description of Zheng Yanfei in the Goddess Manual, one point took Lin Shen by surprise.
Her 10/10 ability score.
According to the system’s description, although Zheng Yanfei was usually a scheming, materialistic little girl, as a lover, her corresponding ability was a perfect score!
’That means she has an Innate Sacred Canary Physique!’
Moreover, her "XP" also matched Lin Shen’s preferences. Feeling like he had hit the jackpot, he decisively sent a message to the little girl on WeChat. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He unexpectedly got an instant reply in the dead of night.
[Zheng Yanfei: I’m here! I’m here! You finally messaged me back. You haven’t been talking to me these past few days, I was starting to think I said something wrong and you hated me!]
[Zheng Yanfei: [whimpering.jpg]]
[Lin Shen: I was busy for a while, but I just freed up. Want to hang out tomorrow?]
[Zheng Yanfei: Huh? I have class tomorrow morning. And I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I can’t have anything cold.]
’Can’t have anything cold?’
This made Lin Shen pause for a moment before he understood, a slight smile playing on his lips.
’This little girl is pretty savvy, putting up her "no-battle" flag in advance.’
’But that’s fine. I’ll just build up the relationship first. Conquering her is just a matter of time.’
[Lin Shen: Then let’s hang out in the afternoon. I’ll buy you a hot milk tea.]
[Zheng Yanfei: Okay, then. But... can you come pick me up from school?]
[Zheng Yanfei: [please_please.jpg]]
[Lin Shen: Sure. Send me your school’s location.]
[Zheng Yanfei: Thank you~ You’re so nice!]
Zheng Yanfei sat up in bed excitedly, the sleepiness she felt just moments before completely gone.
Nice!
’After chatting for so long, I’ve finally managed to get a date with Lin Shen, that rich heir!’
