My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 300: New Items: Strong Buy Card and Constitution Potion!
Chapter 300: Chapter 300: New Items: Strong Buy Card and Constitution Potion!
Although I didn’t hold out much hope that the Game Store would have anything good, as a human being, what’s the point of living without dreams? Might as well be a salted fish.
So when Chen Yan clicked into it, there was still a glimmer of hope....
Upon entering the game, the first thing that appeared in front of Chen Yan was Zhao Ying’s pixel character interface.
Chen Yan didn’t really have any particular thoughts about Zhao Ying, just treated her purely as a friend. But with the mindset that not using available features was foolish, Chen Yan would still occasionally glance at what Zhao Ying was up to.
Zhao Ying’s life was also incredibly dull.
It was practically just dormitory, club venue, and cafeteria, a three-point routine.
Right, no classrooms...
Brother Ying never had an interest in studying...
And today was no exception for Zhao Ying.
Her pixel character, dressed in a set of white training clothes, was sitting on the ground speaking, while a bunch of other pixel characters sat around her in a circle, munching on snacks and listening intently.
Clearly, it looked like the Bagua Palm Society was engaging in their routine gossip....
After glancing twice at Zhao Ying’s uninteresting life, Chen Yan curled his lips and clicked into the upgraded store.
After entering the store, Chen Yan’s first impression was.... huh, the store seems to look different.
The original store had three bare shelves, two of which were empty.
Now the store looked like a mini supermarket, with several rows of shelves bursting with various items.
Chen Yan couldn’t believe it, "Could it be that this crappy system finally made a huge change? And restocked with a bunch of special items?"
Thinking this, Chen Yan clicked on the rows of shelves one by one.
Then, the prompt that popped up was remarkably uniform: "Empty" "Empty" "Empty"....
Chen Yan:...
So, you just changed the UI, is that it?
And there’s still nothing in stock?
You updated for what, loneliness?
Chen Yan felt a bit helpless.
He couldn’t help but click through the remaining shelf rows, one by one.
It wasn’t until the very last row of shelves that three items appeared in front of Chen Yan.
The first was a bottle of Potion, the second a card, and the third another bottle of Potion.
Chen Yan clicked on the first bottle without much hope.
Suddenly, the description of that Potion popped up....
[Professional Talent Potion (single-use)*20]
Price: 80 happiness points
Effect: When you use this Potion, you can freely choose a profession to enhance your talent in that area. Each improvement adds +1 to that profession’s talent.
Side effects: As you consume more of this Potion, you will become increasingly uninterested in other professions.
Review: Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% talent, but that 1% of talent is crucial. And now, you have the chance to attain that 1%....
Chen Yan’s eyes brightened slightly as he saw the description of the first item.
Huh...
This is a great item!
Isn’t this the Potion I always wanted to buy for Lu Man?
Lu Man is already a celebrity now, and to continue advancing, it’s come down to competing in talent.
Her acting talent is really lacking, and the system had even evaluated that due to this flaw, it was nearly impossible for her to become a super A-list celebrity.
But now, all that... can change!
You should know, Chen Yan had been worried about Lu Man’s talent issue for a long time.
For the past two months, every time the Game Store refreshed, Chen Yan would check out the new items right away.
But mostly what appeared at random were [Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera Film], or some other bizarre Potions.
Chen Yan had started to wonder if this crappy system had struck a deal with someone named "Xiao Ha" to supply exclusively their film. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
And those random potions? Their abilities were indeed very strange.
Like the [Glowing Potion]: After drinking this Potion, you could make any part of your body glow in the dark for two hours. And yes, any part can glow...
Or the [Meow Potion]: After drinking this Potion, all your speech turns into meows. The side effect is... cats become especially clingy to you.
Or..... the [Flame Potion].....
Anyway, they were all very strange Potions. None of them were of any help in Lu Man’s career...
Of course, carrying the idea that if he encountered them, he should try them out, Chen Yan bought these Potions and used them....
The result was... that evening, Lu Man kept feeling his buttocks, suspecting he had hidden some prop in some part of his body.
And for those few days, Boss Qiao Qiao’s Ragdoll Cat named "Cotton Candy" kept meowing around him. Even after the Potion wore off, it still gave him a couple of scratches....
In all this time, Chen Yan had only gotten one bottle of [Acting Potion], at a cost of 3 happiness points.
He then mixed it with water and let Lu Man drink it.
But since then, Chen Yan never got his hands on anything similar again.
And now... he landed 20 bottles of Potion all at once!
Chen Yan felt like this was simply a gift from heaven for Lu Man!
Although a bit expensive, when it came to his Virtual Girlfriend, Chen Yan never skimped on money.
Moreover, he had saved up a large batch of happiness points over these months. A total of 166 points.
He wasn’t concerned about spending 80 points.
He grandly purchased all 20 bottles.
Along with the deduction of happiness points, a shimmering light flashed in front of Chen Yan.
20 small blue bottles that looked like zinc gluconate glucose appeared in front of him.
At that moment, a pop-up also appeared on Chen Yan’s phone screen,
[To confirm the profession, place this Potion on your forehead and silently think of the profession you wish to use it for.]
After reading the system’s prompt, Chen Yan picked up a bottle experimentally, placed it on his forehead, and silently murmured, "Actor."
As he silently recited, he felt the small blue bottle he was holding warm up briefly before returning to normal.
Chen Yan put down the Potion, looked at it, and hesitated a bit, "That should have... worked, right?"
Having a very clear objective, Chen Yan placed these Potions in turn on his forehead, confirming the usage.
After several uses, Chen Yan was finally certain that the warming sensation he felt earlier with the Potion wasn’t an illusion but had actually occurred: It must be the system’s way of indicating the Potion’s direction.
He set aside the 20 [Professional Talent Potions] with determined directions and continued to look at the other items in the store.
The second item was a card.
Named [Strong Buy Card].
Chen Yan checked the details.
[Strong Buy Card]
Value: 50 happiness points.
Ability: You can use this card on any asset you wish to purchase. Whether it’s real estate, equity, stocks (both primary and secondary markets), or other assets, you can buy directly at a reasonable market price.
Existing limit: 10 billion.
Seeing this card, Chen Yan was stunned.
Strong Buy Card?
I can buy anything I want with it?
This... is a game-changer!
With more and more money on hand, Chen Yan understood a truth.
There’s a lot of money in the world, but quality assets are few.
Like shares in a company with potential to become a giant, like a property within Tiandu’s second ring, or top-tier art, jewelry, and so on.
These are things that are hard to buy with money.
And then there are even harder to purchase items: like shares in a competitor’s company, or companies abroad that maliciously ban purchases by domestic buyers...
With this game-changer, from now on, all assets would be quantifiable in money for Chen Yan.
The only downside for Chen Yan was that the card wasn’t unlimited.
Based on the card’s description, it seemed to be a repeatable-use item like [Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera].
But there was a limit.
The card came with a limit of 10 billion.
It’s unclear if more limits can be found in the future.
After all... just 10 billion seemed a bit insufficient for the future Chen Yan!
As he was pondering, Chen Yan silently bought the card.
As Chen Yan made the purchase, a dark gold card appeared in his hand, the size of a bank card, exuding understated luxury. It seemed as if you could buy the world with it.
Chen Yan quietly pocketed the card and turned his attention to the last item.
The last item was still a Potion.
[Constitution Potion*5]
Value: 30 happiness points.
Ability: After drinking this Potion, your constitution will be further improved, and your overall physical abilities, especially one in particular, will also be enhanced.
Side effects: After consuming this Potion, there’s a certain probability of insomnia and an increased likelihood of amplifying certain desires.
Review: Essential Potion for the Crystal Palace. No need for 998, not even 98, just 30 points. Not buying is a loss, a cheat!
After reading the description of this Potion, Chen Yan didn’t say a word but silently chose to buy.
Well... As a youth who accompanied ACG year-round and was often in a sub-healthy state, he really needed to enhance his constitution....
With that, Chen Yan’s hard-saved happiness points of several months had dwindled to just 6 points.
But the good news was, every month Lu Man and Boss Qiao Qiao would bring in 40 points each, plus Brother Ying’s 5 points. Chen Yan would be quite wealthy every month....
....
It must be said, after the upgrade of the Game Store, the items indeed seem to have improved in quality.
Although the categories didn’t seem to change much, they were all things Chen Yan needed.
This made him very satisfied with this upgrade of the store.
And just as he was thinking this, while exiting the store, suddenly, a prompt popped up in front of him,
[New Store Feature: Players can now choose three items to add to their wish list. Every refresh, items in the wish list have a very high probability of being restocked.]
Seeing the prompt from the store, Chen Yan’s eyes sparkled even more: even more satisfied!
Without hesitation, he added the two Potions to it.
As for the [Strong Buy Card], he wanted to add it too, but the system said it was a unique item and couldn’t be added.
This item, as he thought, could only wait for additional limits to be randomly acquired before being added to the wish list....
After going through the upgraded store and making his selections, Chen Yan closed the game with great satisfaction, then cleaned up the dishes from breakfast, thought for a bit, and decided to go find Lu Man.
This was similar to the mindset of a player who just got new equipment and wanted to challenge a boss.
Chen Yan wanted to prove himself to Lu Man!

After touring the upgraded store to his heart’s content, Chen Yan closed the game with great satisfaction, and after tidying up the dishes from breakfast, he pondered for a moment and decided to look for Lu Man.
It’s like a player who just got new equipment always wanting to challenge a boss.
Chen Yan wanted to prove himself to Lu Man!
