My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 302 Chen Yan, there’s something wrong with you!

Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Chen Yan, there’s something wrong with you!

Having known Lu Man for so long, Chen Yan had actually grown accustomed to her spontaneous acting behavior at any given moment.

After all, Lu Man was the epitome of a drama queen.

But, you see, although Lu Man had always enjoyed acting, her lack of talent meant that there were always lots of signs in her performance that made everything seem fake to Chen Yan.

This time, however, was different.

Even though Lu Man’s timing for acting was a bit abrupt, her performance—which was utterly absorbed into the "play"—truly made Chen Yan believe everything.

This was the ability and talent of an actor.

Acting was not about putting on a more realistic performance, but about convincing the audience that you are genuine.

In other words, it wasn’t so important for actors to lose themselves in their roles; what mattered was making the audience do so.

And this time, Lu Man had achieved just that.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man in surprise.

’Could this be the effect of the Professional Talent Potion?’ he thought, somewhat astonished.

He felt a surge of excitement.

He had given Lu Man an Acting Potion before, but it had never triggered such a dramatic improvement.

At this moment, Lu Man had not yet realized that her acting skills had suddenly advanced by several levels. Assuming Chen Yan had seen through her act, she got up with a giggly smile, hugged him, and said, "Muah~ Chen Yan, you’re so cooperative~"

Chen Yan touched her head a bit awkwardly but spoke the truth, "It’s all because you acted well."

Lu Man didn’t take it seriously.

Although her outward confidence never wavered—even in front of her sister Mei Li, she always had the attitude of "I’m the best actress in the world"—no one understood the true level of her skills better than she did.

If she weren’t well aware of it, she wouldn’t work so hard to practice her acting every day.

Insisting that she was a good actor was just her way of being proudly modest.

So, seeing Chen Yan’s cooperativeness just now, she had always believed that he was simply indulging her.

After the playfulness, Lu Man lay in Chen Yan’s arms and curiously asked, "By the way, Chen Yan, what exactly did you give me to drink?"

Chen Yan nonchalantly replied, "Oh, zinc gluconate."

A question mark slowly appeared above Lu Man’s head: ?

Chen Yan had already come up with an excuse before he got there. He said, "I have a relative who’s a doctor."

"A few days ago, we were talking about your acting. He said you’re so diligent, but can’t improve, it’s very likely because you’re lacking zinc, affecting your brain."

"Just replenishing some zinc should do the trick."

"So, he prepared a special zinc gluconate Potion for you to drink."

"After drinking it, your acting would improve."

Lu Man: ....

She looked at Chen Yan with a face that seemed to ask, "We have no quarrel, why are you treating me like a fool?"

Chen Yan didn’t mind.

He had given his excuse, whether she believed him or not was not his concern. The "effectiveness" would show in time.

After the recent "fortune-telling for the film queen" and "Chen Yan glowing down there" incidents, Lu Man had gradually gotten used to Chen Yan’s blatant nonsense.

So, without any real answers from Chen Yan, she had no choice but to pounce on him grumpily and start planting strawberries on his neck.

This little masochist seemed to have a sort of addiction for being pinned down at the slightest excuse.

Although she always ended up defeated by Chen Yan, seeing him worn out and panting made her feel quite accomplished inside.

But today, she noticed something different.

"Wait. Wait a minute. It’s kind of hard..."

"Stop, stop. Something feels wrong. Chen Yan, how did you become so strong?"

"Chen, Chen Yan. I was wrong... wuwuwu."

After the rainstorm passed, Lu Man snuggled up against Chen Yan’s chest, then looked at him with a face full of existential doubt, "Did you take some kind of drug?"

Chen Yan had a few black lines falling down his forehead, "Of course not. Do I look like that kind of person?"

Lu Man huffed coquettishly, her finger drawing circles on Chen Yan’s body while she asked flirtatiously, "Then how did you suddenly become so strong?"

In the midst of speaking, without waiting for Chen Yan to answer, she suddenly sat up, surprised, looking at the upper half of Chen Yan’s body that was exposed,

"Chen Yan? Have you been working out recently? You’ve gained a lot of muscle?"

"Wow. You even have abs?"

As she spoke, Lu Man, like a female pervert, began feeling Chen Yan’s abs, exclaiming, "Wow. Real abs!"

She looked at Chen Yan with eyes full of astonishment.

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow at her, lying shamelessly, "How’s that? I’ve been continually training for the past half-month. All to make you happy."

Lu Man’s cheeks flushed slightly, then she leaned in gently.

But halfway through the lean, she suddenly realized something, hmphed softly, and stopped talking, instead gently biting on Chen Yan’s arm.

The bite wasn’t hard, but Chen Yan was somewhat confused. Weren’t things just fine? Why the sudden biting?

Faced with puzzling behavior, Chen Yan naturally turned on his inner Headphones to listen in, and then he heard Lu Man say to herself,

"Hmph. Saying it’s for me, it’s really for Qiao Qiao!"

"Before, I could wear you out, and you wouldn’t have the chance to go after Qiao Qiao."

"Now that I’m not up to it, you’ll have the opportunity to go for Qiao Qiao!"

"Hmph. So annoying!"

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment. Then he thought... hey, that makes sense.

He glanced at Lu Man, thinking she was a really considerate girl, even reminding him of what he should do...

He had been under her control recently, almost forgetting he had yet to conquer Boss Qiao Qiao...

Since he was going to accompany her to look for a villa, he planned to cultivate their relationship during this time and then go for it. Wakakaka...

Even though Lu Man didn’t have the inner Headphones, perhaps women have a magical sixth sense. Just seeing Chen Yan with that dreamy look, she seemed to sense something and bit Chen Yan’s shoulder hard.

"Ow, ow. It hurts~ it hurts~~"

Chen Yan came back to his senses, inhaling sharply and calling out.

Lu Man looked at him triumphantly and said, "Hmph~ That’ll teach you to daydream."

Chen Yan "fiercely" pinched her face, saying, "You little kitty, always biting people out of nowhere."

Lu Man proudly showed off her two little canine teeth, "Of course! I’ve told you before, these canines aren’t just for show!"

Chen Yan glanced at her mouth, nodding suggestively, "I know."

Lu Man: ??

Her face reddened slightly, and she looked down, ready to bite Chen Yan again...

The two of them frolicked all day and "battled" all day. Initially, Lu Man stubbornly tried to bring Chen Yan down with her, just like before.

But Chen Yan, who had enhanced his Constitution, was increasingly vigorous, leaving her utterly defeated...

Through several verifications, Chen Yan had also discovered the potency of his five-point increase in Constitution.

This was truly a must-have divine skill for Crystal Palace!

At 7 p.m., Chen Yan left Lu Man’s villa feeling light-footed and still full of energy. He even felt like he could run a few more kilometers!

This kind of robust stamina, he hadn’t had since finishing his physical exams...

Back home, Chen Yan didn’t rest: he knew that although the Constitution Potion only strengthened him for the time being, if he didn’t keep training, he would eventually revert to his sub-healthy state.

So he started his pre-sleep exercise in his room, hoping to maintain his current level of fitness.

After working out, Chen Yan took a shower and then went back to bed to play with his phone.

He logged into the company’s intranet first, checking the sales of the Mudman Ultimate Elimination for the day. Although the initial release days were over, the game’s sales remained stable due to the burst of positive word-of-mouth that had started that day.

With two days gone by, the total sales already exceeded 8 billion. Although the momentum had slowed, it was still making steady progress.

At this rate, the total monthly sales should reach 15 billion.

Around 20 billion in two months.

With more than 16 billion falling into Chen Yan’s pockets.

And that’s just the stm platform.

If the game gets rolled out on other platforms later on, the income is likely to surge.

Then, with those tens of billions, Chen Yan could start a charity for Boss Qiao Qiao!

Since Boss Qiao Qiao came to mind, after checking the game’s revenue, Chen Yan also sent several messages to Yu Qiao Qiao, asking when she was free, wanting to go check out villas with her.

Yu Qiao Qiao was free the next day.

Chen Yan joyously arranged to see villas with her the following day. After some more chatting, he finally put down his phone, ready to sleep.

But perhaps as a side effect of the Constitution Potion, after lying down, Chen Yan still felt a bit excited and couldn’t sleep.

Thinking it over, he picked up his phone again, planning to catch up on the serial fiction he had been following.

The author of the book seemed to have hit a creative block recently, with updates coming sporadically. Only in the last couple of days had they seemed to find their groove again and had started updating steadily, rekindling Chen Yan’s desire to continue following.

Upon opening the booklist, Chen Yan indeed saw a new Chapter notification.

Full of anticipation, he clicked through, only to discover... it was a standalone Chapter from the author.

Chen Yan felt as though his happiness had been fed to dogs, frustrated by this emotional rollercoaster!

Nevertheless, with the mentality that since he had already clicked in, he might as well see it through, he quickly read the author’s standalone Chapter.

But alas, unbeknownst to him until he read it, the author was actually... seeking financial advice from the readers....
