On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

Chen Shuo: "."

Watching Director Lei and Liao Ji walk further and further away, the chubby boy, left alone to tidy up the convenience store and prepare for closing, shed tears of envy.

He was furious that Liao Ji was so talented in "Falling 2" and could have worked with him to build a career, so why did he have to be a kept man?

He was even more furious about why he couldn't be a kept man like that!

Huh?

and many more!

Chen Shuo suddenly remembered some outrageous questions Liao Ji had asked him for relationship advice before. In one of those questions, the girl who wanted to practice being Liao Ji's girlfriend was denounced by him as a "green tea b*tch."

But now it seems that Director Lei is on a date with Liao Ji. Could it be that Director Lei is... that... green tea bitch?!

Do not! !

If there's anything more heartbreaking than seeing your goddess being won over by someone else, it's when the goddess is the one who actively pursues you.

Chen Shuo felt that his faith was being shaken.

In order to cut his losses and make himself feel better, the chubby boy desperately needed to shift his focus and find a new goddess to worship.

Fortunately.

New goddesses are not nonexistent.

After all, the first person to become famous at Senmeng wasn't Director Lei, but Senmeng's legendary founder, President An! She was affectionately called "Elf Sister" by the players!

Although President An has faded from view more and more over time, she is still a beloved figure in my heart.

call

After unfollowing Lena and then refollowing President An's social media account, Chen Shuo finally found some peace in his grief and indignation.

It was originally supposed to be a small commercial performance, but Lena had to give up after discovering that Liao Ji didn't have any identification documents.

Taking this opportunity, Lena calmed down a bit and wasn't so impulsive anymore.

Since the small commercial performance couldn't be arranged, and the two couldn't just keep wandering around outside, Lena quickly changed locations and took Liao Ji to a mobile phone store.

Lena always remembered that Liao Ji said he didn't have a cell phone, and this was a worry for Lena that she now had to get rid of.

However, giving cell phones to young people is a low-level tactic of wealthy women. High-level wealthy women, like the previous "small commercial performances," emphasize culture.

Lena bought the convenience store not just to give Liao Ji a holiday, but also to do many things under the guise of being the "store manager".

For example, right now.

"Liao Ji, which one do you like?"

"No, Director Lei, I..."

"First of all, you should call me store manager now, but I'm very friendly to the staff, so you can just call me Nana. Secondly, don't say no. A mobile phone is a necessity for the studio. As the store manager, I need to be able to communicate with the staff so that it's easy to explain anything if anything happens. So this mobile phone is provided to you by the company/convenience store for your work."

Lena's words were indeed impeccable, leaving Liao Ji with no points to refute.

However, Liao Ji ultimately refused. Lena always wanted to buy him the latest models costing tens of thousands of yuan, so he picked out a cheap one that cost a few hundred yuan and could make and receive calls. He told Lena that this would be deducted from his salary later.

When Lena saw this stubborn young man, she didn't say much. On the contrary, she liked him even more because of his stubbornness and his slightly naive arrogance. She was very satisfied to see Liao Ji in such a young and innocent state.

Um.?

Why did I say that?

Did she also see Liao Jibie during any other period of his life?

Lena felt a little strange, but she quickly put it out of her mind, because just as they were about to pay the bill, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Miss, sir, congratulations! Our store is currently holding an anniversary celebration, and you are our 721st customer! You have won our grand prize, which allows you to upgrade your device to the latest deluxe model for free! Please wait a moment, we will replace it for you now!"

After the enthusiastic sales clerk congratulated the two, before they could even react, the phone they had bought for a few hundred yuan was taken away by the clerk. Soon after, the clerk brought out another new, more expensive phone from the back and presented it to them.

Chapter 336 Say it again, where... is your home?

"This"

Liao Ji looked at Lena, but Lena shook her head innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with her and that she had not done anything underhanded.

Afterwards, the machine setup and the free phone number were completed in one go, saving Liao Ji a lot of trouble. Even after leaving the phone store and seeing the clerk waving goodbye, Liao Ji still felt it might have been a bit too much.

"Liao Ji, do you know, a friend of mine once told me that if two people are destined to be together, even fate will help them."

"I didn't believe it before, thinking my friend might have gotten addicted to watching astrology movies, but now..."

"I'm starting to believe it."

Lena smiled sweetly at Liao Ji, then reached out and asked Liao Ji for his new phone.

"This is your first time using a mobile phone, so you probably don't know how to operate many of the functions. Come on, let me teach you. First, download some commonly used apps, such as this social media app. After that, register your own account. Finally, there's the contacts app. I'll teach you how to add other people. Okay, see, that's all!"

When Lena returned the phone to Liao Ji, there was now one more contact in the previously blank contact list.

【Dear Nana】—— (Pinned) (Set as Special Attention) (Special Caller ID Tone Enabled)

Uh

After glancing at the pink-haired woman eyeing him menacingly, Liao Ji finally gave up on making any changes and decided to leave it as is.

Lena smiled happily, especially since she had become the first and only contact person among Liao Ji's contacts. She seemed to feel that this was not enough and that she should take advantage of this great opportunity to occupy more "bases".

After a quick glance at Liao Ji's sparkling eyes, the pink-haired woman took his phone back, moved closer to him, and before the young man could react, she suddenly closed the distance between them, almost face to face, and then raised her phone to take a picture.

Click!

"Hmm, not bad! A good phone really does have high resolution!"

Lena was very satisfied after looking at the selfie of herself and Liao Ji together. She first sent the photo to herself through a social media app, and then, under the pretense of continuing to teach Liao Ji how to use his phone, she used "how to change the screen saver" as an example to set this very intimate photo of the two of them as Liao Ji's phone unlock screen and chat background.

Thus

Even if some other sluts try to get close to Liao Ji later, they'll know who the real deal is as soon as they see the phone screen, humph!

Ok

strange?

Where does this competitive spirit come from? Ultimately, she should have the upper hand right now, so why is she always so tense?

Lena felt strange, but she always trusted her intuition, so in order to have more in common with Liao Ji, she helped the young man download "Falling 2" to his phone.

"Okay, you can register with your mobile phone number. Next, you'll create your own character. Do you want to customize your face or have it randomly generated?"

"Let's do it randomly."

After the initial "random generation" screen of Liao Jidian's game interface, a few seconds later, a character wearing a cloak and shrouded in shadow appeared on the screen.

"Huh? Is this a special model? This is the first time I've seen one. I have a feeling..." Upon seeing the character model, Lena paused for a moment, muttering to herself.

"Familiar?" Liao Ji added the second half of Lena's sentence.

"Yes! It feels familiar, I don't know why, it just feels very warm."

"Me too."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, it's a good sign. I think you should invest your emotions in a game and treat it as a real world. Even if it's a virtual character, it's a good thing if it resonates with you!"

"but."

Lena's voice suddenly faltered a little, because the next step was the naming process, and since Liao Ji had registered late, many names were probably already taken.

But then Liao Ji saw the prompt after "Please enter your character nickname", thought for a moment, and typed in "Ashes".

In Lena's opinion, such a nickname should have been registered by someone else long ago, but to her surprise and amazement, it actually showed that the registration was successful!

"Next up are some tutorial levels. Come on, let me teach you how to play this game. Let's get to level 10 first, then we can unlock the friend system."

Liao Ji had already become quite familiar with the controls of Falling 2 through Little Fatty, but seeing how happy and enjoying Lena was, he didn't disturb her. He focused on being a beginner and listened attentively to Lena's explanation.

After about two hours, as her game character finally reached level ten after a burst of golden light, Lena breathed a sigh of relief, finally snapping out of her state of intense concentration.

"Nana, you really like Fall 2." Liao Ji, who had spent most of the two hours playing as a newbie and watching the pink-haired woman play, couldn't help but exclaim.

For some designers, game design is just a job, but Liao Ji could tell from Lena's performance that Lena truly loves it.

"Hmph, of course, didn't I tell you? I consider Falling 2 to be the real world, and that's also Senmeng's goal."

"Target?"

"Yes, Mr. An, the founder of Senmeng, has always held onto the dream of promoting the 'Falling' IP, allowing players worldwide to immerse themselves in the world of 'Falling' and work together to change this precarious world."

"For this reason, our CEO An even uttered the classic saying, 'Otaku save the world,' haven't you heard it?"

Lena spoke with pride and admiration.

To save the world?

Liao Ji felt as if he had grasped something.

"Okay, let's add each other as friends!"

Lena manipulated Liao Ji's game page, and after entering "Princess Nana" in the "Friend Search", a virtual character with pink hair quickly appeared.

only

Liao Ji looked at Lena's game character: pink hair, chubby little wings on her back, and a pink heart-shaped tail that extended from her buttocks, sticking out in mid-air and swaying back and forth.

Isn't this a succubus?

"It's random! There's nothing we can do, it's randomized by the system!" Lena blushed slightly and repeatedly emphasized to Liao Ji.

Happy times are always fleeting. After spending the afternoon out, the two of them realized that it was already getting dark.

When it was time to part, Lena didn't say she was reluctant to leave.

After all, she now has a lot of information about Liao Ji, which is completely different from before. She is very confident. After today, Liao Ji is like a cooked duck. How can he fly away?

In that case, just like there's no need to eat a cake all at once, you can put it in the refrigerator for a while and enjoy it again tomorrow.

When it was time to part, Liao Ji originally said he could go home on his own, but he couldn't resist Lena's insistence, so he got into Lena's car and let her take him home.

But what Liao Ji found strange was that right after he fastened his seatbelt and told Lena Nono's address,

The pink-haired woman sitting in the driver's seat suddenly froze.
