My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 299: Net Worth Breaks Ten Billion!

Yang Nuannuan, who had just sat up, picked up her phone and glanced at it.

The call was from Yu Qiao Qiao.

A question mark appeared above Yang Nuannuan’s head,

’Why is Qiao Qiao calling me so late?’

’Could it be...she’s having second thoughts?’

In that moment, Yang Nuannuan actually felt a sense of relief.

Thinking this, she answered the phone.

As the call connected, Yu Qiao Qiao’s voice came through, "Sister Nuan Nuan! Hurry up and give me your bank account number and the name of the bank!"

"Chen Yan just helped me with a large bank transfer tonight, I can transfer money to you now!"

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Yang Nuannuan felt a bit empty-headed....

She didn’t know how she managed to pull her bank card out of her wallet, recite the card number, or how she stumbled through giving out her bank’s name.

But by the time she came back to her senses, everything was done.

On the other end of the phone, Yu Qiao Qiao’s cute voice continued to recite the numbers, "6...2...2..."

Listening to Yu Qiao Qiao’s voice, Yang Nuannuan had mixed feelings.

She quietly hung up the phone, wanting to calm down for a while.

But it seemed like fate didn’t want to give her the chance to cool off, as just moments later, her phone rang with a "ding-dong."

Yang Nuannuan picked up her phone and saw it was a notification from her bank account,

["Yu Qiao Qiao has transferred 30,000,000.00 RMB into your account ending in 0088, current balance....."]

Staring at the message, Yang Nuannuan was stunned for a moment.

"It really...came through."

Yang Nuannuan ignored the WeChat message from Yu Qiao Qiao, ["Sister Nuan Nuan, the signal was bad just now and we got cut off. I’ve transferred the money to you, please take care of it from now on~"], and tossed her phone to one side.

Then she covered her face, staring blankly at the blue wall, somewhat lost in thought....

At that moment, the usually thick-skinned Yang Rou finally sensed something was wrong with her daughter.

Wearing her slippers, she walked into Yang Nuannuan’s room.

The door to Yang Nuannuan’s bedroom was open, and she was covering her face with her hands, staring at the wall, lost in thought.

Yang Rou knocked on the door with a bit of curiosity, asking in a cold voice, "Nuan Nuan... what’s wrong with you?"

Hearing her mother’s question, Yang Nuannuan slowly turned her head, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at her mother, bit her lip and asked,

"Mummy... do you have any projects that guarantee the principal and interest, and also a 16% annual return?"

Hearing Yang Nuannuan’s words, Yang Rou was stunned for a moment, then she smiled faintly and replied, "Silly girl, what are you talking about. There’s no such thing as a low-risk project with such a high return."

She walked over, touched Yang Nuannuan’s face and said, "Is it because you’ve been under too much pressure from work recently?"

"If you’re tired, take a few days off."

"Studying at school is fine; you don’t always need to keep me company."

"Also, have you been spending a lot recently? Are you out of pocket money? I’ll transfer ten thousand to you in a bit, you can use that."

Compared to the usual Yang Rou, tonight she seemed much gentler.

Although she spoke in her usual indifferent tone, the affection for her daughter could still be heard between the lines.

Sadly, what Yang Nuannuan wanted at the moment wasn’t these.

She nodded her head with tears welling up and not falling.

She felt like she was really shooting herself in the foot.

’Why did I get bewitched back then and want Qiao Qiao’s thirty million...’

Truthfully, Yang Nuannuan wasn’t a bad girl by nature. Her kindness towards Yu Qiao Qiao was also genuine.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought about paying out of her own pocket to smooth over the incident when Chen Yan spent tens of thousands on a pen for Yu Qiao Qiao.

It was just that, being kind and being jealous of Yu Qiao Qiao were not contradictory.

Anyone would feel a bit off balance if their little sidekick, their shadow, suddenly soared to success.

That was the impulsive reason she wanted the thirty million.

But now that the money was in her hands, Yang Nuannuan realized she didn’t really have the ability to manage it.

The money felt a bit hot to touch....

30 million. With a 10% return rate, that’s 3 million a year.

After Yang Rou left, Yang Nuannuan propped her cheek with her hand and continued to space out.

"What should I do..."

"Where could I find such high-return projects myself..."

The only one Yang Nuannuan could think of who had high returns and low risks was Chen Yan.

But... to use the money Chen Yan gave to Yu Qiao Qiao for herself, and then go to Chen Yan for investment advice... this felt like a Russian nesting doll situation.

Yang Nuannuan did not think this was a good idea.

After thinking for a while and finding no solution, she threw herself on the bed in despair, wishing she could die on the spot....

....

Meanwhile, Chen Yan, on the other side of the wall from Yang Nuannuan, was humming a tune while cooking.

Chen Yan had a fruitful day today.

He not only coaxed Boss Qiao Qiao out of gifts worth over fifty million, but the sales volume of "Mudman Elimination" had also been climbing steadily.

Although the growth in the last ten hours wasn’t as terrifying as in the first four, the game still sold about four hundred and sixty million in turnover for the day. Just today alone, Chen Yan’s gaming company took in nearly four hundred million!

The achievement unquestionably topped the sales charts on the STM platform in various countries.

The impact of the game’s popularity continued, as today had been far too short for "Mudman Elimination" to spread only through gaming forums and platforms; it had already started to break out of its niche.

This could be seen from the fact that Chen Yan’s game had slowly climbed up the trending searches on various platforms without him deliberately paying for trends...

....

[Yu Qiao Qiao’s favorability: MAX]

[Lu Man’s favorability: MAX]

[Zhao Ying’s favorability: 56]

[Wealth value: 30.41304 million] (Yu Qiao Qiao’s funds +30 million, daily virtual care +0.0119 million...) 10 times cashable

[Professional Wealth: 20 million]

[Fixed asset wealth value:] (Gift to Lu Man necklace +4.125 million, gift to Yu Qiao Qiao luxury car + property +9.123 million, *villa not yet selected) 8-15 times cashable

[Cash: 43,158.26 million+] (Wealth value cashed +21.61 million, professional wealth cashout +200 million, game development and other daily expenses -42.131 million)

[Fixed assets: 197 million] (The last fixed asset is still in the process of being cashed out...)

[Total assets: 62,858.26 million]

.....

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Yan’s total assets had already exceeded six hundred million. Including the several billion in wealth value that had been accounted for but not yet cashed back, his net worth had securely broken through ten billion.

And what was most notable was that unlike other tycoons whose wealth mostly lies in hard-to-liquidate real estate or stock shares, most of his assets were in cash, a full seven billion (with 3 billion still to be cashed back)!

The main reason was that his company hadn’t sought financing or gone public, so the capital market had not given an approximate valuation of his company.

If his company were actually valued, it’s expected that his net worth would skyrocket even further. Surpassing He Ruifeng to become the wealthiest on Qin Island wouldn’t be an impossible feat...

....

The morning sunlight shone on Chen Shiyi’s face: Chen Yan partied too late last night and forgot to draw the curtains.

Getting out of bed, Chen Yan yawned, then rubbed his hair and went to the bathroom.

After spending some time there, Chen Yan returned to his bedside and picked up his phone to check.

Although Chen Yan reaped a lot yesterday, the night was very calm.

Only the "Virtual Girlfriend Simulator" popped up a few notifications,

[Your store has been updated with new products. Come and have a look~]

At a glance, it looked like those push notifications from a third-tier mobile game that nobody really wants to click on.

Moreover, the game was utterly simplistic, and its store’s offerings were pathetically limited.

In the beginning, when Chen Yan’s happiness value was low, he felt it wasn’t enough to buy things. Now, with a surplus of happiness value, he realized the store’s user experience was abysmal.

If Chen Yan had to describe it: it felt like his system was of extremely low quality, scavenging for leftover things from other systems to cobble together.

A little system, scavenging diligently for its master’s betterment?

The thought was somehow unexpectedly cute?

Chen Yan felt his brain must have got damaged from sleep, so he ignored the poor notification and first checked various websites to understand the public opinion about his new game.

After all, he developed games for his dreams.

And dreams are more about spirit than material; which means he wasn’t looking to make a lot of money but to gain recognition from others.

Therefore, Chen Yan paid great attention to his games’ reputations.

To his delight, the reception of his new game was quite good.

With yesterday’s big hit, "Mudman Elimination" had surged to the top of the hot search and hot topic charts on various websites.

And the comments were generally positive, with many players praising the gameplay or the game’s settings, saying they’ve never experienced such an interesting game.

What made Chen Yan happier was that the players had discovered many easter eggs related to the game. Some hardcore fans had even unlocked the hidden "Queen Qiao Qiao" skin and were showing it off.

After checking in a circle and finding no issues, Chen Yan closed the websites and apps, feeling satisfied, then opened the virtual care game to see what kind of new goods this "scavenging" little system had brought in...

Could there be a surprise for him?

——————

After being so interested in the game.

And Chen Yan was even more delighted when he found that players had discovered many easter eggs about the game. Some hardcore fans had even unlocked the hidden "Queen Qiao Qiao" skin and were bragging about it.

After checking in a circle without problems, Chen Yan was content and closed the websites and apps, then opened the virtual care game again, wanting to see what new goods this "scavenging" little system had brought in...

Could there be a surprise for him?
