Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Glory From Below (29)

Mother Lin looked Chuzheng over and chatted away, urging her to eat breakfast.

Mother Lin had taken some time off and would be home for several days.

She put things down and started to tidy up the house.

Chuzheng silently ate her breakfast, watching Mother Lin bustling around the room.

Pill, pill.

If she found out that she’d secretly kept a Good Person Card, would she get so angry she’d jump up?

Chuzheng thought it was very likely.

Imagining that scene…

So noisy!

“Zhengzheng, why can’t your room be opened?”

“The lock is broken,” Chuzheng casually replied.

“Eh… then, Mom will find someone to fix it.” Mother Lin said and did, immediately flipping through her phone to find a repair person.

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng waited for Mother Lin to go to the bathroom, then quickly opened the door.

Jiang Liang seemed to have just been woken up by the noise, sitting on the bed, looking at her blankly.

Chuzheng pulled his hat over his head, flung back the covers, and directly picked him up.

Jiang Liang’s body lifted into the air, his eyes widening slightly.

“Don’t make a sound,” Chuzheng reminded him before he could speak.

Chuzheng carried him out the door, opened the room door, and put him outside.

Chuzheng kissed him: “Go back to sleep.”

The door closed in Jiang Liang’s bewildered gaze.

Jiang Liang: “???”

Did he just dream all that?

–

Chuzheng dodged Mother Lin’s nagging and returned to her room to play games.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: I think my phone fell at your place.

As soon as Chuzheng logged on, Jiang Liang’s message arrived on time.

Chuzheng suspected for a moment that Jiang Liang might have planted a bug on her.

Chuzheng searched the bed and found the phone under the blanket.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: I’ll bring it over to you later.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: It’s fine, no one really contacts me anyway. If Fan Fan calls, just hang up.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: Who’s Fan Fan?

They sounded way too intimate!

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: Xia Mufan.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: Oh.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: …Did your mom come back earlier? @@novelbin@@

Jiang Liang asked cautiously; he had woken up after hearing noises outside.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: Yeah.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: …

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: That…

Chuzheng sat on the chair with one leg crossed over the other, holding the mouse in one hand, idly clicking through the interface.

After she had clicked around for a while, the “that…” from Jiang Liang still had no follow-up.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: That what.

Chuzheng waited for nearly a minute before Jiang Liang replied.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: I… am I your boyfriend now?

Boyfriends could kiss and hug at will, stroke each other’s hair…

After thinking about it, Chuzheng tightened her little face and typed seriously.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: If you want to be the girlfriend, that’s okay too.

[Private Chat] Jiang Liang: …

Jiang Liang must have been shocked by the word girlfriend; it took him a long while to respond.

Chuzheng didn’t bother with him and clicked on ‘I’m Just an Alt’.

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: Help me collect a set of top-level Sword Master equipment.

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: Eight Directions Stealth?

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: You’re not even a Sword Master, what do you want this for?

[Private Chat] Number One Tycoon: Light Divine Art.

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: ?????

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: Boss, that set of equipment hasn’t even been released; how can I collect it?

The official announcement just came out, and it’ll be at least two months before the update arrives.

[Private Chat] Top of the Tycoon List: Oh.

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: …

What exactly was the bigshot trying to say with that “Oh”?

However, just two days later, I’m Just an Alt suddenly found the game updated!

The Light Divine Art came out too!

This isn’t like the official’s usual tactics at all!!

[Private Chat] Top of the Tycoon List: Can we do it now?

[Private Chat] I’m Just an Alt: …

It’s such a hassle to collect this kind of equipment.

Chuzheng wouldn’t bother with that.

She originally planned to just have the game company give her a set directly.

However, the people on that end said no, it would throw off the balance of the game.

Chuzheng: “???”

I’m the boss, aren’t I?!

What does it mean to refuse me!

The person responsible for the game, who had dedicated his life to it, stood crying and howling on a 20-something-story window ledge, saying he would jump if she insisted on doing that.

Chuzheng later thought it over.

Getting it directly would make it seem too cheap.

Why would Good Person Card think she’s a good person.

[…] Where exactly is the young lady getting her idea of a good person?

–

Ying Ze had been terribly unlucky recently, and he couldn’t use the account that had its name changed; he could only use a lower level alt, and could only sneak around when going online.

About the city battle matter, Ying Ze figured it must have been Chuzheng’s doing; after all, that “I’m a Scumbag” was too distinctive.

He had originally planned to coax her in real life, but who knew she would treat him this way.

[Private Chat] One Heart Returning: Qinghuan.

[Private Chat] Sanyue Qinghuan: Wu Hen, you’re online?

[Private Chat] One Heart Returning: What are you up to?

[Private Chat] Sanyue Qinghuan: I’m not really doing anything, what’s up?

[Private Chat] One Heart Returning: Then, would you help me level up?

[Private Chat] Sanyue Qinghuan: Er, but I have to go out soon. I’m sorry, Wu Hen, could we level up later tonight when I get back?

Sanyue Qinghuan sounded very patient.

Although Ying Ze felt a bit uncomfortable, he did not get angry. He even reminded her to be careful when going out.

But that night, Ying Ze waited and waited but Sanyue Qinghuan never showed up.

In the following days, every time he looked for Sanyue Qinghuan, she would respond quickly, speaking very kindly, but whenever he asked her to come over, she had all kinds of excuses.

Ying Ze knew his level wasn’t enough, but he could work on it.

It wasn’t long before Ying Ze suddenly received a screenshot from a friend.

The Sanyue Qinghuan, who had said she had things to do offline, was fighting a boss with another player.

[Announcement] Player [Top of the Tycoon List] lights up thousands of homes and is about to randomly drop Kongming Lanterns.

Ying Ze watched the screen full of dropping Kongming Lanterns with a sullen expression.

What had she told him in the beginning?

Her parents were just ordinary company employees, and since they lived in the same neighborhood, which wasn’t a fancy one, Ying Ze didn’t think much of it.

But could ordinary employees really have that much money?

Ying Ze felt a sense of being cheated at the bottom of his heart.

When she was with him, he never saw her spend any money.

So why was she spending money so lavishly now?

[World] A Single Cucumber: Bigshot 66666.

[World] Top of the Leaderboard: Miss, are you burning money because you have too much of it?

[World] Not for Sale at Any Price: I just saw the bigshot together with Jiang Liang, this is literally risking a crown in a fit of anger for a favored man!

[World] I’m Super Cute: Is that really how you use risking a crown in a fit of anger?

[World] Not for Sale at Any Price: Don’t sweat the details, you get what I mean.

[World] Ruler of the World: Pretty boy.

[World] Phantom Chasing the Wind: Jiang Liang, have you been taken care of by someone?

[World] Jiang Liang: Pretty boy usually refers to a man with good looks, so I’ll take that as you complimenting me. After all, you’d never get called a pretty boy even if you wanted to.

[World] Ruler of the World: I’m not shameless like you.

[World] Jiang Liang: Because you’re faceless.

[World] Ruler of the World: Jiang Liang, you just wait!
