My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 303: Have I Really Become Zinc Deficient?

When Chen Yan first saw this single Chapter, he was bewildered.

What kind of mind allows an author to seek financial assistance from readers in a book?

After reading it carefully, he discovered that the author seemed to have encountered some difficulties.

She had accidentally taken out an online loan of 200k yuan and wanted to pay it back early, but the lending company refused to accept early repayment.

If she forcibly returned the money, the lending company would demand a huge penalty fee.

With no other options, she could only think of investing the money temporarily.

Fortunately, the loan she took was from a regular online lending company and only had an interest rate of 10%.

Thus, her requirement was not high, she just needed a project that could yield a return of 10% per annum while preserving the principal and the interest.

At the end of the Chapter, she also left her QQ number, hoping that any reader with a solution could add her.

After finishing the entire Chapter, Chen Yan had only one thought: you should be looking for legal aid, not financial aid, sister.

However, after thinking about it and since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he decided to add this unlucky author to see what was going on.

Consider it killing time.

With that thought, Chen Yan opened his previously used personal QQ and entered the author’s QQ number.

In a moment, the author’s QQ card popped up.

The name was "Guardian of the Future," and she was 32 years old.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment: what? This erotica is written by a mature woman?

He pondered for a while and thought... it makes sense.

If it were a young girl, she wouldn’t have written such crisp and vivid scenarios.

Thinking this, Chen Yan grew more interested.

He clicked the "OK" button. Then he just lay back on his bed, waiting for a response from this mature woman.

Maybe it was because the mature woman also couldn’t sleep at night; in two seconds, Chen Yan’s friend request was accepted.

Chen Yan opened QQ and took the initiative to say, "Are you the author of ’I Had a Monkey Child with a Transmigrator?’"

Qian Wen replied, "Yes. It’s me. Are you a reader?"

Chen Yan replied, "Yes. I saw you posted a single Chapter, so I added you to chat."

The person on the other end was a bit aloof as she replied, "First of all, I don’t need legal aid nor education."

"I know what I’m doing might not be good. I also know my current remedial measures aren’t the best."

"But, I really just need a project that can reliably profit around 10%."

Chen Yan’s intended words got caught in his throat.

It seemed... many people, like him, added the author hoping to persuade her and probably annoyed her already.

Chen Yan felt a mix of laughter and tears for a moment.

So he didn’t know what to reply.

After a while, he just replied, "Uh... okay, got it."

Thus, their first interaction ended just like that...

Next to Chen Yan’s wall, without wearing glasses, Yang Nuannuan was ice-coldly staring at her phone.

"Another one."

She looked at the QQ user with the nickname ’Five-Second Disease’ and somewhat annoyed, dragged that QQ into the "Weird Readers" list.

She murmured, "Why are they all trying to persuade me not to take out loans!"

"It’s just an excuse!"

"And even if I did encounter this situation, what good does persuasion do? Other than allowing the persuader to feel good about themselves, what does it solve?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"It doesn’t solve anything!"

"So, help me solve this 10% return issue first, then try to persuade me, alright?"

Yang Nuannuan sighed softly, then burrowed back into her bedcovers, continuing defiantly to stare at her phone screen.

She was desperately seeking help, hoping against hope that there might be an expert among her readers, who could lead her.

Or perhaps someone could give her some different perspectives to consider.

To avoid accidents, even the amount of money and various information in her QQ were falsely stated, leaving her some room to err...

But... it seems that, after posting the single Chapter for so long, there seems to be no reader who could help her.

Aren’t readers supposed to be full of talented people?

Where are the talents...

Nuannuan felt disheartened...

...

All was silent through the night.

The next day, Chen Yan got up and went for a morning run.

Perhaps it was due to his improved constitution, previously he would be panting and sweating after running two rounds; however, today, he ran five rounds before he even began to feel a bit tired.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Yan returned home.

After a shower and some food, Chen Yan drove to school to pick up Yu Qiao Qiao to view a villa.

At that time, at Lu Man’s villa...

Yesterday, after being harshly dealt with by Chen Yan, Lu Man who didn’t do her usual acting training, got up early and started her morning lessons.

As usual, with random scripts and random lines, she performed in front of a mirror.

But today, after just performing two segments, Lu Man stood in astonishment.

She discovered... her acting seemed different.

It was a strange feeling.

Before, when she watched her acting, she always felt it was exaggerated, outside the play, or awkward.

But today... she felt it was very smooth. Although saying it was naturally flawless was a bit much, it looked utterly different from before!

To describe it more intuitively: previously, to portray an emotion, she could only forcibly act, and she couldn’t control the micro-expressions on her face. This made it very easy for people to see that she was acting.

But now, with just a thought, every muscle on her face would naturally perform according to her emotions.

It was completely a different realm.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, which hadn’t changed at all, Lu Man touched her face that seemed to have become much more expressive and said in amazement, "I... can I act now?"

After performing another segment, Lu Man could almost confirm her conjecture.

But she couldn’t understand this sudden change, "Why?"

"Why can I suddenly act?"

Lu Man suddenly remembered the blue liquid Chen Yan had given her to drink yesterday...

’Could it be... am I really deficient in zinc?’

No way.

Lu Man realized she was almost being brainwashed by Chen Yan.

’Could it be Chen Yan’s doing again?’

Lu Man felt it was highly likely.

Although she didn’t know how Chen Yan did it.

But if it were true, Chen Yan really gave her a tremendous surprise!

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but pick up her phone and call her acting coach: she couldn’t judge by herself, so she still wanted her acting coach to see how much she had improved. What level was she at now!

...

While Lu Man was surprised by the changes in her acting skills, Chen Yan had just arrived at the school gate, picking up Yu Qiao Qiao.

Then... he looked at Zhao Ying sneakily following behind Yu Qiao Qiao, and asked Yu Qiao Qiao somewhat exasperatedly, "Why... is she here?"

With her coming, how could his plan proceed?

This was just adding a huge third wheel!

Seeing Chen Yan’s displeasure, Yu Qiao Qiao lowered her head, somewhat embarrassedly saying to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan... sorry. I slipped up this morning, and Brother Ying is a bit bored these days, so he wanted to come along to see."

But Brother Ying didn’t consider himself an outsider at all and even patted Chen Yan’s shoulder saying, "Hey, don’t blame her. I wanted to come."

Then, she grumbled, "Our club guys always want me to chat about gossip! Chat about gossip! They themselves don’t have any gossip, so boring."

She placed her hands on her hips, then her gaze shifted between Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao, happily saying, "It’s more interesting being with you guys."

Chen Yan: ...

Why do I always feel like Brother Ying is here for material?

It must just be my imagination, right?

Despite an additional person, the place they needed to visit was still unchanged. After all, apart from "scheming," Chen Yan also desired that 8-15 times cashback.

So, driving with Yu Qiao Qiao and Zhao Ying in tow, Chen Yan started toward the villa area he had arranged to visit these past few days.

While on the road to the villa area, Chen Yan drove and chatted with them.

"These past few days, have you found your studies tiring?"

Yu Qiao Qiao said, "It’s alright. The courses are a bit challenging, and I’m finding them a bit tough."

Zhao Ying nodded beside her, "Yes, that’s right."

Chen Yan said, "If it’s tough, let’s put aside work-related stuff for now and focus on your studies."

After saying that, he asked, "Have you been eating properly?"

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded and said, "Yes. I’ve been eating my meals on time every day."

Zhao Ying also nodded, "Right, me too."

Chen Yan gave her an involuntary look, belatedly realizing... actually, she’s not a third-wheel. According to "status," she’s my third virtual girlfriend.

Then, remembering Zhao Xuan who had already passed away, Chen Yan’s gaze softened a lot.

He thought for a moment and felt that maybe he should tentatively ask Zhao Ying about her future plans.

He hadn’t forgotten that Zhao Xuan had left 1.5 billion for the two of them...

With so much startup capital and the system’s cashback, not using them freely would really be underestimating Chen Yan...

Zhao Ying nodded beside him, "Yes, that’s right."

Chen Yan said, "If it’s tough, let’s put aside work-related matters for now and concentrate on your studies."

After saying that, he repeated, "Have you been eating well?"

Yu Qiao Qiao nodded and responded, "Yes. I eat my meals on time every day."

Zhao Ying also nodded, "Me too."

Chen Yan looked at her, the unintended third-wheel, and belatedly realized... actually, she’s not just a third-wheel. According to "status," she’s his third virtual girlfriend.

Then, once again thinking of the deceased Zhao Xuan, Chen Yan’s gaze became much softer.

He thought it over and felt that maybe he should tentatively inquire about Zhao Ying’s future plans.

He hadn’t forgotten Zhao Xuan had left them 1.5 billion...

With so much startup capital and the system’s cashback, not using them freely would be underestimating Chen Yan...
