My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 85: Special Prop: Chosen Child (Please Recommend!)
Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Special Prop: Chosen Child (Please Recommend!)
Once they were in the car and it started moving,
Yu Qiao Qiao turned her head curiously to ask Lu Man, "Sister Man Man, what did you want to talk about?"
Lu Man glanced at the quiet driver in front, then at her own reflection in the rearview mirror, wearing a mask and sunglasses. Once she confirmed the driver couldn’t recognize her, she hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "I’ve been... frozen out."
Yu Qiao Qiao covered her mouth in surprise, barely stopping herself from shouting out loud.
She looked nervously at the driver, then at Lu Man’s dejected face, leaned in, and asked with concern, "Why did they freeze you out?"
Lu Man was silent for a while before saying, "Because of the promotion of our game."
Yu Qiao Qiao was surprised again.
She blinked and asked, "Why would promoting our game get you banned?"
Lu Man, seeing that Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t understand anything, sighed and explained the situation quietly and in detail.
Yu Qiao Qiao listened quietly and then understood the mess Lu Man had gotten into because of "her."
She sat there dumbstruck, unable to recover for a long time.
Growing up in a very sheltered environment, the biggest trouble she had ever caused was when she accidentally knocked her desk mate’s pencil box to the floor, breaking it.
In her simple social experiences, she had simply thought that helping with a promotion wasn’t a big deal.
But now...
It had led to Lu Man being frozen out.
At that moment, she felt completely at a loss.
Noticing Yu Qiao Qiao’s bewildered state, Lu Man, who had been observing her expression, smiled slightly.
It was as though she had forgotten her own dejection and sadness as she smiled and put her arm around Yu Qiao Qiao’s shoulder, saying, "Qiao Qiao. I’ve been frozen out now and have no income. You’ll have to support me from now on."
Upon hearing Lu Man’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao seemed to find a way to remedy the situation. She looked at Lu Man and said firmly, "Don’t worry, Sister Man Man! I will definitely take good care of you!"
"I have a hundred thousand yuan in savings right now. You can use all of it!"
"If that’s not enough, I’ll work to support you!"
Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s serious and sincere expression, Lu Man’s mood lifted even more.
She watched Yu Qiao Qiao and silently "said" to Mei Li in her heart: Sis, I think you might have really misunderstood. They are truly my friends...
The vehicle drove smoothly and soon arrived at a five-star hotel next to the Jinmao Building.
The two girls got out of the car, and Yu Qiao Qiao, as if trying to make up for her mistake, took the initiative to carry Lu Man’s luggage.
Lu Man was never pretentious, so when Yu Qiao Qiao took the initiative, she decided to be lazy.
Soon, the two checked in, dragging their luggage to the room.
In the room, Lu Man discarded her sunglasses and hat, spreading her arms wide with joy and exclaimed, "Ah! A joyous vacation, here I come!"
Seeing Lu Man’s happy face, Yu Qiao Qiao always felt that she was giving up...
So Yu Qiao Qiao said with empathy, "Sister Man Man, don’t give up on yourself. I feel like we can definitely solve this."
"Maybe... if we apologize, Director Zhang and President Guo will forgive us?"
Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s naive words, Lu Man couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She said, "Qiao Qiao. If things were that simple, I would have solved them long ago."
"This issue isn’t that simple."
"And... I’ve thought it through these last few days."
"Although my intention was to help you all, the reason this happened has nothing to do with you."
"It’s purely because I was too willful."
"Looking back on my career these past few years, I’ve realized that I’ve had it too easy. So I started treating the entertainment industry like a playground, not really treating it with respect."
"That’s the true reason for this setback!"
"But now, I’ve figured it out."
"So what if I’ve been banned and frozen!"
"It’s no big deal!"
"I, Lu Man, am destined to become a superstar!"
"This little setback is just a trivial stumbling block on my road to success!"
"Anything that doesn’t defeat me will only make me stronger!"
Yu Qiao Qiao watched dumbfoundedly as Lu Man, brewing her own chicken soup for the soul, could only think one thing: Oh no, Sister Man Man must have gone crazy...
Should I go consult with Chen Yan?
He always has a lot of ideas; maybe he has a way...
...
Meanwhile, the Chen Yan whom Yu Qiao Qiao was thinking about was sneezing at home.
"Ah-Qiu, Ah-Qiu!" Chen Yan rubbed his nose, "Am I catching a cold...?"
After rubbing his nose, Chen Yan looked at his cellphone.
Today was the 1st, the day when Happiness Points refresh.
So after he got out of bed in the morning, Chen Yan put on a jacket and went to his computer, eager to see how many Happiness Points the game had given him this month and if there were any new items in the shop that could help him out of his predicament.
He opened the "Virtual Girlfriend" game.
The pixelated character of Yu Qiao Qiao appeared on Chen Yan’s screen.
This pixel character was standing in a hotel room, behind another pixel character, blinking blankly.
Above her head was the text [Confused....].
Chen Yan looked at the other little person.
"Huh? Lu Man? She’s on Qin Island now?" Chen Yan stroked his chin, "She came and didn’t even say a word?"
"And...." Chen Yan looked at Lu Man with her arms open wide towards the window, "Why is this drama queen opening her arms towards the window? You jump, I jump?"
After mocking for a while, Chen Yan shook his head, deciding to ignore the two of them.
It must be a girls’ gathering...
After all, men don’t really understand women’s friendships...
He shifted his gaze from Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixel character and clicked on the shop.
Above the shop, it displayed Happiness Points: 7.
This meant Boss Qiao Qiao had provided Chen Yan with 7 Happiness Points this month.
He then looked at the items on the shelves.
Just as Chen Yan had expected, there were new items thanks to the Happiness Points.
Just like last month, there were two items.
But unlike last month, this time both were cards.
Chen Yan clicked on the first card to examine it.
[Xiao Ha’s Instant Film (disposable) *5]
Price: 1 Happiness Point
Ability: This film, used with [Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera], can reveal potential.
Note: 1 film and 1 camera require 1 Happiness Point, 5 films also require 1 Happiness Point. Then, what color is [Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera]?
"Huh? Film?"
[Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera] was the first tool Chen Yan had acquired, and it was very significant. It was precisely because of it that Chen Yan felt confident enough to spend money generously on game development.
Now, with new film available, Chen Yan could make new games or invest in Lu Man’s projects more confidently, helping him to avoid many detours.
Chen Yan clicked the first tool to generate an "sr," then he clicked on the second card.
[Chosen Child (disposable) *3]
Price: 1 Happiness Point
Ability: When you organize a game or activity, you can specify the order or ranking of a certain person.
Limit: This tool can only be used on one target per month.
Note: Want to experience what it feels like to be the puppet master? Come, give it a try.
When Chen Yan saw this card, he was stunned.
After a while, he turned his phone sideways, screen facing down, and tapped it.
Isn’t this damn thing really providing tools based on the predicaments I face?!
How coincidental!
I was just thinking about how to secretly manipulate things to gift Boss Qiao Qiao a luxury car!
Isn’t this just delivering a pillow when I’m dozing off!
Now that I have it...
Why play behind-the-scenes manipulations?
Just let Boss Qiao Qiao set the rules and organize the lottery.
While I, with hands behind my back, sip tea in the break area.
I refuse to believe that if we draw Boss Qiao Qiao’s name, she could still find fault!
At that moment, Chen Yan’s face bloomed with a sinister (strike that), radiant smile: Boss Qiao Qiao, you might as well resign yourself to me!
A luxury car with an 8-15 times return, worth millions!
Here I come!
