Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

Midway through the journey, Cao Xu stopped his vehicle, took off his helmet, and smiled at the camera. The photographer seized the opportunity to capture a close-up shot. In the shot, his hair was blown by the wind, his eyes were clear, and his demeanor was clean yet flamboyant. He had completely lost his usual composure and gained a touch of youthful carefree spirit.

"Ninth Brother, let's do another fast-forward shot, from one end of the greenway to the other, and we'll follow along in our car. The effect will definitely be amazing!" the photographer shouted.

Cao Xu smiled and nodded, put his helmet back on, mounted the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle instantly accelerated, shooting off like an arrow. The photographer quickly switched to high-speed follow-shot mode, the lens closely following the motorcycle, capturing every dynamic moment. The afterimage of the motorcycle, the roar of the engine, and the streetlights intertwined, creating a visually striking effect.

The filming lasted for more than two hours, finally ending around 8 p.m.

The photographer reviewed the video, and the picture was clear and smooth, with a great sense of atmosphere. Whether it was dynamic tracking or static close-up, the footage was shot very professionally.

After reviewing the footage, Cao Xu nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your hard work, the filming is even better than I imagined."

The person in charge said with a smile, "I'm glad you're satisfied, Ninth Brother! We'll edit the video as soon as we get back and send it to you then."

Cao Xu nodded, settled the remaining payment for the computer, and gave an extra 5,000 yuan as filming fees.

After saying goodbye to the staff, he rode his motorcycle slowly along the riverside greenway. The evening breeze was refreshing and a bit cool. Looking at the river view and lights in the distance, he couldn't help but smile. The favorability ratings of the many beautiful women were steadily increasing, and everything was developing in the direction he wanted.

Cao Xu rode his BMW S1000RR slowly back to Jindaheyuan, parked the motorcycle in the underground parking space, and quickly went upstairs to return home.

The gaming room contains three newly installed and tested computers, their cool lighting particularly eye-catching, exuding a strong sense of technology.

Cao Xu glanced around, then casually selected a host, monitor, and a complete set of peripherals, carrying them downstairs and placing them in the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz G63. He planned to store the computer in his high-tech penthouse apartment for occasional use.

It was already 9 o'clock when they finished their work. Tao Jiayi had already ordered food online. "Brother Xu, I ordered takeout from the private kitchen we ate at last time. It will be here soon."

Cao Xu nodded, ruffled her pink hair, and sat down next to her to wait for her takeout.

Before long, the takeout arrived, and the two sat around the table, eating and chatting. Tao Jiayi chattered about the interesting things that happened during the day, and Cao Xu listened patiently, occasionally putting food on her plate. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.

After dinner, Tao Jiayi took Cao Xu's hand, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Brother Xu, let's go to the gaming room! I've been wanting to try out this computer for ages!"

Cao Xu smiled and agreed, leading her into the already prepared e-sports room.

Tao Jiayi couldn't wait to sit in the gaming chair, press the power button, and the computer started up instantly, entered the system in a second, without any lag, and the screen display was incredibly detailed.

Cao Xu sat down next to her and turned on another computer.

Since acquiring the skills of a professional esports player, he has been able to quickly master any game, whether it's League of Legends, mobile games like Honor of Kings, or various shooting games. His reaction speed, operational precision, overall strategic vision, and game awareness have all reached the top level of professional players.

The two opened League of Legends in perfect unison and teamed up for matchmaking. Cao Xu immediately chose to play jungle, controlling the pace perfectly, clearing jungle camps, ganking, and controlling dragons in one smooth motion. Tao Jiayi played support, and although her skills weren't top-notch, she was able to coordinate accurately under Cao Xu's command.

After two games, Cao Xu dominated the entire match, achieving godlike status and MVP awards. His performance was dazzling, leaving Tao Jiayi filled with admiration, exclaiming from time to time, "Brother Xu, you're amazing! Your skills are so smooth!"

Another advantage of Cao Xu has been discovered: he is extremely good at playing games.

[System notification: Tao Jiayi's favorability has increased by 1 point, currently at 95 points.]

During a break in the queue for the third game, Cao Xu picked up his phone to browse Douyin out of boredom. He accidentally came across Chen Ze streaming live, complaining to the camera about how slow the queue was, clearly also waiting for League of Legends matchmaking.

Cao Xu smirked, opened the gift bar, sent a Carnival gift, and then typed in the chat: "Teacher Chen, let's play together."

The carnival's dazzling special effects instantly filled the live stream screen. Chen Ze's eyes lit up, and his tone immediately became enthusiastic: "Welcome, Ninth Brother! What brings you here, Ninth Brother! Come on, let's play together! Ninth Brother, I'll help you rank up, I guarantee I'll carry you to victory! Which server are you on?"

Cao Xu sent another comment: "Let's chat on WeChat, I'll send you my account."

After their last PK battle, they added each other on WeChat. They both had accounts in the Telecom Zone 1 server, making communication very convenient.

He turned to Tao Jiayi and said something. The two of them canceled the queue. Then Cao Xu sent his game account to Chen Ze via WeChat. After adding each other as friends, the three of them successfully teamed up to play together.

Cao Xu's professional e-sports skills are simply overwhelming in the Diamond and Platinum ranks; it's no exaggeration to say he dominates.

In the game, he performed flawlessly in lane dominance, team fight coordination, and extreme counterattacks, with triple kills and quadra kills appearing one after another. He even managed to turn the tide of battle by taking on five opponents at once several times.

Chenze was dumbfounded, repeatedly shouting into the microphone, "Holy crap! Ninth Brother, your skills are amazing! So incredible!"

In the team's voice chat, Cao Xu's steady command could be heard from time to time: "Bottom lane, pay attention to placing wards, the enemy jungler is coming." "Focus on the ADC in team fights, I'll initiate the fight."

And then there's Tao Jiayi's soft, gentle reply: "Okay, Brother Xu," "Received, received."

The viewers in Chenze's live stream instantly went wild, with the chat flooded with comments:

"My God! Ninth Brother's move is simply godlike!"

"This guy's life is so simple and unpretentious! He has girls to play games with and can even team up with streamers. I'm so envious!"

"Who would understand! This pro is playing games with internet celebrities and cute girls on one side—that's a maxed-out setup!"

"With Ninth Brother's skill level, he could probably even beat a professional gamer, right?"

Just then, a comment stood out: "Brother Jiu bought three computers in Computer Junior Sister's live stream a couple of days ago, spending 45 yuan. He's definitely a super-rich guy!"

This comment immediately sparked heated discussions among viewers, who all asked if it was true or not.

Chenze also saw this comment and quickly asked into the microphone, "Brother Jiu, some fans here are saying that you built three computers and spent 45 yuan? Is that true?"

Because the three of them were connected via voice chat, Cao Xu's voice could be clearly heard in Chen Ze's live stream, and all the viewers could hear it.

Cao Xu said calmly, "Yes, it's true. The staff just came and installed it today, and they even filmed the installation video. I estimate it will be released in a couple of days."

I enjoy playing games in my spare time, and with good equipment, I can play comfortably without having to compromise on my gaming experience.

Chen Ze exclaimed in amazement, his voice filled with envy, "Wow, that's amazing! My computer cost fifty or sixty thousand yuan, and I thought it was more than enough for streaming and gaming, even exceeding my capabilities. I never expected Brother Jiu to max it out like that, so incredibly generous!"

"Playing games is all about having fun. Whether it's excessive or not doesn't matter. As long as it's comfortable for you to use," Cao Xu replied with a smile, his tone revealing confidence without any boasting.
