At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

It's clear that she's growing to like herself more and more as the cheap lead singer.

An Qing chuckled, glancing at the empty promises she made, and simply said:

"However, I'm not taking any orders right now. I'm currently pursuing further studies, so if you want me to draw something, I probably... can't help you."

"Huh? Why is that? Have you hit a bottleneck?"

Yuan Xiao was quite curious.

"No."

An Qing shook her head. "I just don't feel like continuing."

"Ok?"

"I want to become stronger, strong enough to become a goddess, able to transform into a giant red and capture someone's heart."

What is "big red"?

Yuan Xiao didn't quite understand and asked, based on her own interpretation, "The top influencer in your art community?"

"Not at all."

An Qing thought for a moment and gave her answer:

"No one can give a precise definition of Red, because whether it is a great artist or a small painter, anyone can become Red, the 'red' who can't get any commissions."

If you like a particular artist, she can become your goddess, and when you can no longer get a date with her, she naturally becomes a "Red" (a term used to describe someone who is popular online).

—Schrödinger's Red.

Yuan Xiao seemed to understand but not quite.

but,

Yuan Xiao is very smart.

"—So you mean, you want to be someone's Red."

She looked into An Qing's eyes, narrowed her cat-like pupils, and asked, "Is that so?"

"Ah."

An Qing nodded earnestly.

This understanding is extremely valuable:

"I'm glad you understand, so regarding the time, I..."

"It's okay, you have someone you like, and so do I. We're already future teammates, and our relationship goes far beyond best friends. Yes, I will definitely support you wholeheartedly."

"Once I've gained weight, and once you're out of the ban, I'll still place an order with Kuku and force you to become Little Red first. How about it!"

Yuan Xiao chuckled, stood up, walked around the edge of the table, and clinked glasses with her, holding her milk tea cup.

"Oh right, my name is Yuan Xiao, nice to meet you!"

……

Looking at the girl's sincere face,

For some reason, An Qing also felt a sense of healing deep down.

Was becoming friends with her the right choice?

Was I overthinking things...?

[The landmine girl... can actually be pretty good...]

Is that so?

She thought this way,

In a state of numbness, I looked into her eyes and frankly revealed my last concern:

"Okay, I can definitely feel your seriousness... and talking to you makes me feel very relaxed. But I have to say, I also have to find a lot of part-time jobs to earn some pocket money..."

This might take up a lot of rehearsal time... and as for equipment, my savings are also very meager..."

"Oh, I get it!"

"I understand, I understand. You don't have money if you don't take orders, is that what you mean?"

Yuan Xiao waved his hand, pulled An Qing to stand up together, raised their glasses and looked at each other in a very formal manner:

"As I said, I'm still relatively wealthy. Although my dad went bankrupt, I can still scrape together about 20 yuan in my bank account to cover my allowance."

"Hey, if you really agree to join me, I won't use this money for the male part-time job I've got my eye on at the bar. I'll use it all for our band's start-up capital! Oh, if you refuse, then I'll just stick to my old ways and enjoy myself. Okay? I've shown my sincerity; whether you join or not is up to you!"

……

Chapter 18 White Silk Stockings Are a Good Civilization

An Qing agreed.

I had no choice but to agree.

Take steps back,

Even if it's just to prevent that silly kid Yuan Xiao from losing 20 RMB and being scammed, I have to agree to this.

now,

Su Che was unaware that

The cat at home is outside giving a long and earnest lecture to one of its acquaintances.

And I, who should have been writing and stockpiling manuscripts, was suddenly disrupted by a new order from the order-taking platform after getting halfway through my work.

[You have received a new order – game companionship, "Corruption," 3 hours, start time: now.]

"what?"

Su Che felt a pang of anxiety as he looked at the push notification that popped up on the order-taking platform on his phone.

Generally, he only turns on the companionship system on Sundays so that he can relax and earn some extra money after finishing his own business.

As for someone who is unknown, even if they place an order in advance, there is only a chance of getting a small order in the evening, and it won't happen so suddenly.

My initial thought was that I'd be happy to receive the call today, but if not, so be it.

Who knew that it had only been open for half an hour when the big spender specifically requested it.

Su Che frowned.

He stopped what he was doing, and instead of speaking directly, he opened the client's profile without opening the chat window.

This way you can avoid being marked as "read".

[Let's observe the traitor first before making any further decisions.]

He thought to himself.

"Alas."

[Other user ID: Likes white stockings.]

Gender: Not specified

Animated GIF—all white stockings, all kinds of white stockings.

White stockings worn by young girls, knee-length white stockings, lace white stockings, opaque white stockings, pantyhose white stockings, ripped white stockings—

In short, I have a severe fetish for white stockings.

True to its name.

[Personal Profile: I absolutely love white stockings and want to collect the best-looking white stockings in the world! (Bunny girl emoji.jpg)]

"........."

It's unbearable to look at.

It's absolutely unbearable to look at.

[Like an anime character.]

Su Che pondered,

The other person is probably a very greasy, shut-in guy who spends all his time indulging in fantasies about beautiful things. He might even be obsessed with it, which is why he doesn't have any friends to play games with and can only find teammates through gaming companion platforms.

The teammates here are not like teammates in other fields.

Most of the people who come here to find companions are men looking for women.

It's rare for a man to date another man.

Moreover, those who can afford this amount of money are usually from families with decent financial conditions, since charging 60 for themselves means that the website charges 120.

At a 50/50 split, that's almost the price of a whole class lesson...

For three consecutive hours, that's several hundred.

The only people Su Che could think of who would spend several hundred yuan at once to find "teammates" to play games with were those with "special needs".

【Emm...Is he looking for a cheater? What if he got wrecked and is looking for someone to play with him for cheats? I'm not taking that job...】

Su Che is quite principled.

As a solo player with 8000 hours of experience, he knew all too well that in survival, building, and resource-plundering games like *Corruption*, the competition between players was extremely brutal.

They will stalk and chase you at the drop of a hat, and in serious cases, they will wipe out your entire family.

Ordinary players who have worked hard in the game for a long time may find their home gone after waking up or even just going to eat and leaving the game running for a while.

All efforts were in vain.

Online breaching has become commonplace.

This is why players sometimes spend money to recruit others to use cheats and seek revenge after their defenses have been breached.

These kinds of big shots are not a minority, and the entire market is driven by core interests such as "revenge".
