My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 92 Feudal Superstition (Request for Monthly Tickets!)
Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Feudal Superstition (Request for Monthly Tickets!)
Watching Chen Yan’s face full of disdain,
Lu Man let out a disgruntled "hmm," sat up straight, and in a quiet yet audible voice said, "Scumbag. Makes a move and doesn’t take responsibility."
Chen Yan: ???
Chen Yan had had enough of this celebrity who knew no bounds in conversation. He gestured for mercy and said, "Sister, talk is talk, but don’t falsely accuse someone out of thin air."
After saying that, he coughed and added, "How much money do you need to set up this studio?"
When Lu Man heard that Chen Yan was willing to help, her eyes lit up immediately.
She looked at the ceiling, blinking her big eyes, and happily calculated, "Actually... it won’t require too much."
"Just renting a place and paying the staff. Initially, it would be about one million."
Chen Yan did the math...
One million. Compared to the profits Lu Man brought him, it wasn’t much.
Both sensibly and morally, he should pay this amount.
Then... Lu Man continued calculating while looking up and counting on her fingers,
"However, if we include maintaining fans across various platforms,"
"Media relations, celebrity personal brand promotion,"
"Investing in good projects that come up,"
"and other miscellaneous expenses,"
She stretched out both hands happily, "Actually, it’s best to have about fifteen million."
Chen Yan: ...
Chen Yan quietly withdrew the one million he had almost taken out.
Damn! Woman!
You always think of good things!
You just helped me earn 9 million, and now you want 15 million!
I’m not making a losing deal!
Upon sensing Chen Yan’s reluctance, Lu Man quickly said, "Don’t feel it’s too much."
"I’m not just asking for your money for nothing. I’m offering you shares, dividends!"
She proudly declared, "You know, right in front of you stands the future superstar—Miss Lu Man!"
"When I really become famous, just a cut from one movie can earn you back fifteen million!"
"Think about it, isn’t that exciting?"
Saying this, she proudly shook her head, as if she really believed she was helping Chen Yan make money.
Chen Yan felt that dealing with such a chaotic bunch was indeed hard to understand.
Does she truly believe she will become a superstar?
Isn’t she afraid of turning into a shooting star halfway?
Fools act without considering consequences...
Thinking about this, Chen Yan suddenly remembered the "Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera."
That prop could be used to reveal the potential of things. He wondered if it could also capture people.
If it could, then he could see this fool’s potential.
If she really had great potential, then he might as well gamble big with her.
If not, he would give her a normal game dividend, help set up her company, and then bow out...
After all, she wasn’t a virtual girlfriend. There were no returns, and he couldn’t just waste money...
As for her suffering this loss...
Once he became the wealthiest man by fostering Boss Qiao Qiao in the virtual world, he could afford to support her a bit more.
For instance, by inviting her to endorse games, do some promotions, etc.
That might even up things.
But, to dig into his pockets and foolishly follow her antics?
Damn. Dream on! Don’t even think about it!
........
Meanwhile, not far from the restaurant and at Qin Island University,
Yu Qiao Qiao’s dorm was holding a meeting with the door closed.
The three girls circled around Yu Qiao Qiao and Yang Nuan Nuan, chattering excitedly,
"Did Qiao Qiao really win a luxury car?"
"My goodness. Really?"
Pingping said, "Can’t believe Chen Yan actually did what he promised, gifting Qiao Qiao a luxury car."
Hearing Pingping’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao and Yang Nuan Nuan exchanged looks.
Yang Nuan Nuan hesitated, "Um... actually, it wasn’t Chen Yan who gave it. Qiao Qiao really won it herself."
Upon this revelation, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned awkward.
The three girls looked at each other in surprise and said,
"Not given by Chen Yan?"
"Qiao Qiao won it?"
"Really? Chen Yan didn’t rig it?"
Yang Nuan Nuan glanced at Yu Qiao Qiao, her face troubled as she said, "Actually, we’re not sure either."
"I was there during the draw, but I really didn’t spot any cheating."
The girls exchanged looks. freēnovelkiss.com
Lu Lu asked, "Did Chen Yan draw the prize?"
Yang Nuan Nuan and Qiao Qiao shook their heads.
Nana asked, "Was the method of drawing chosen by Chen Yan?"
Yang Nuan Nuan and Yu Qiao Qiao shook their heads again.
Pingping asked, "Then could someone else have tampered with it?"
Seeing the relentless questioning from the trio, Yang Nuan Nuan had no choice but to recount the whole event.
Hearing that Chen Yan had no involvement, and then Yu Qiao Qiao’s suggestion to use QQ red packet for the draw, after which she won the top prize, the three girls looked at each other, their mouths agape.
After a while, they became even happier,
"That’s even better!"
"Yeah!"
"Qiao Qiao actually won a luxury car by luck!"
The dormitory immediately turned into a sea of joy.
Yu Qiao Qiao, Yang Nuan Nuan: ...
At that moment, Zhao Ying, who had been sitting on the bed idly picking at her nails, suddenly spoke up, "Have you guys heard of borrowing luck?"
Hearing the bossy Zhao Ying speak, the dormitory went quiet instantly, and the girls all turned to look at her.
Out of nowhere, Zhao Ying had put down her nail picking, and she whispered mysteriously, raising a candle she had somehow produced, "Luck, as in fortune. It’s a representation of a person’s life’s blessings and misfortunes."
"In a person’s life, luck fluctuates, so if one knows the art of borrowing luck, they can actually control one’s fortune."
Hearing Zhao Ying talk about such mystical things, the three girls and Yang Nuan Nuan couldn’t help feeling a bit spooked.
Only Yu Qiao Qiao, looking at Zhao Ying, blinked her pretty eyes and said, "Brother Ying, where did you get a lighter? The dorm manager is checking for banned items tonight, this isn’t allowed."
Zhao Ying: .....
Zhao Ying ignored Yu Qiao Qiao.
She walked to the door, turned off the lights, letting the flickering candlelight cast the room into deeper shadows.
She whispered softly, "Think about it, if Chen Yan could control Qiao Qiao’s luck, then wouldn’t he be able to let Qiao Qiao win the luxury car effortlessly?"
"Then, no matter what method of drawing was chosen or who hosted the draw. Qiao Qiao would definitely win."
"This way, there’s no need to cheat at all..."
Hearing Zhao Ying speak so mysteriously, Yang Nuan Nuan furrowed her brows behind her glasses and said, "But... how does Chen Yan borrow luck?"
Zhao Ying held the candle next to her face, speaking in a secretive tone, "Borrowing luck isn’t simple. It requires conducting complex rituals, paying a hefty price."
"And the most effective among these is... the God of Stools."
"At midnight, take the oldest stool in your dorm to the bathroom, place a candle on it."
"Then close your eyes, clench your fists, and silently pray. Soon, a long-haired female ghost will quietly climb up from under the stool..."
Attentively listening Yu Qiao Qiao, Yang Nuan Nuan, and the three girls: ??
"What the heck! Brother Ying!"
"You’ve started talking nonsense again!"
"Yeah, yeah. So boring!"
"Going off on tangents again!"
Originally, when Zhao Ying mentioned borrowing luck, Yu Qiao Qiao was actually reminded of Chen Yan asking making a kiss gesture to her forehead today.
She had been preparing to listen more attentively.
But now, hearing about the "God of Stools" and "female ghost," Yu Qiao Qiao immediately disbelieved everything.
Where was there any borrowing luck? It was all superstitious nonsense!
Hmm!
I must have won it through my own luck!
I’m so lucky!~
...
After finishing dinner with Lu Man, Chen Yan went home early.
After all, he had the most important thing tonight: getting the luxury car’s cashback...
