I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chapter 92: Chapter 89: Win a Free Trip Abroad! Chapter 92: Chapter 89: Win a Free Trip Abroad! In a police station meeting room.
Zheng He was sitting at the conference table being interviewed by a police officer.
The officer said sternly, “Didn’t it cross your mind that such pie-in-the-sky opportunities might be the work of scammers?”
Zheng He sighed and said hopelessly, “I had a trace of doubt, but I still harbored some luck, thinking I could be the one in a million lucky guy. Besides… I dared to scan the QR code only because I knew there was no money in my card. Who knew that damn scammer wouldn’t even spare the little over three yuan!”
Had there been money in his card, he definitely would not have taken such a big risk. He was banking on the fact that there was no money, assuming the scammer wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, thus he held onto that slim chance of hope.
[So it seems Zheng He isn’t that foolish? He just wanted to take a chance to see if he could get a piece of Ao Long.]
[The scammer who transferred the little over three yuan must have cried at Zheng He’s balance, right?]
Zheng He’s face gradually turned from hopeless to angrily sinister as he clenched his molars and said, “Can’t you find a way to catch this audacious scammer? We can’t let him continue to do wrong out there!”
“Of course we will catch him, but these kinds of criminal behaviors are usually committed by gangs. We’ll need some time to nab them all in one fell swoop,” the policeman said. “Do you have any other clues you can provide?”
Zheng He started to hesitate: “Um… um…”
The policeman frowned and pressed, “Um what? If you have relevant clues and don’t provide them, then you are abetting a criminal.”
Finally, Zheng He gritted his teeth and showed the officer the two text messages the scammer sent him.
Zheng He hung his head in shame: “This is all I have; I’m not sure if it counts as a clue…”
The policeman pursed his lips after reading the messages: “…” After so many years as an officer, it was the first time he’d seen a scammer insult a victim…
At the same time, the livestream viewers saw those two text messages as well.
[I really want to feel sorry for Zheng He, but for some reason, I just can’t help but laugh…]
[Zheng He is so poor that he’s gotten to the point where scammers curse him out, hahaha!]
[Sisters, stop laughing; I’m as broke as Zheng He…]
[Isn’t this scammer a bit unprofessional? Don’t they research the market before scamming?]
…
On the other side, in Chen Xixi’s livestream.
After returning home with the pot, Chen Xixi didn’t continue to play mahjong. Instead, she set up a small stove in the yard using bricks.
The pot fit just perfectly on the stove.
Now she could cook for herself, which could save quite a bit of money.
Her housemate, Han Qianyi, was still catching up on sleep inside and had no idea that Chen Xixi had undertaken such a big project outside.
After finishing with the stove, Chen Xixi put the pot away.
Leaving it outside was not safe; she was afraid someone might steal it.
After all, her makeup had been stolen and used before.
Now every time she left, she would lock her room to prevent others from entering.
After locking up, she walked toward the entrance of the village.
As she passed by where Jin Cheng and Wan Chen were staying, she happened to run into a just-awakened Jin Cheng.
Jin Cheng had his hands in his pockets, his long black hair a messy tangle, his eyelids drooping tiredly. Even in such an unkempt state, his handsome facial features could not be concealed.
His voice, hoarse from just waking up: “Where are you off to?”
Chen Xixi said expressionlessly, “Any business?”
Jin Cheng scratched his head, “Nothing really, I just… if you need help with anything, just let me know.”
From the previous Gold Coin incident, it was clear that all the show’s guests were targeting Chen Xixi.
He felt it was really unfair for so many people to gang up on a girl like Chen Xixi, and since Chen Xixi had been so good to him, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Chen Xixi gave him a look, “Aren’t you teamed up with Zheng He, agreeing to be his bodyguard?”
Jin Cheng hurriedly explained, “I was infiltrating the enemy’s ranks. Originally I wanted to coordinate with you from inside to help you steal the Gold Coins! Besides, I am nothing like Zheng He and such lowlife people! I’m on your side!”
Chen Xixi looked at him with a mix of belief and doubt, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
At least since the show started, Jin Cheng seemed to have not done anything harmful to her, so she tentatively categorized him as one of the good guys.
As she walked out of the village, Jin Cheng silently followed behind her.
Around half an hour later, Chen Xixi arrived at the nearest hamburger store and found a seat next to a power outlet to quickly charge her phone.
After playing mahjong game for half the day, her phone’s battery was nearly dead.
When Jin Cheng saw that the phone could be charged, he immediately turned to Chen Xixi with a pleasing smile: “Sis, after you finish charging, could you lend me your charger?”
The show provided everyone with the same model of phone. He hadn’t expected to be able to charge without paying for electricity, so he didn’t bring a charger with him.
“Okay,” Chen Xixi replied softly.
While waiting for her phone to charge, she resumed playing the mahjong game.
The scent of fried food was strong in the burger shop, making Jin Cheng, who hadn’t eaten yet that day, involuntarily swallow.
When he returned, he would definitely ask his Uncle what was going on the day before yesterday and why he didn’t give him a leg up!
It was at this moment he heard faint game music; leaning forward, he peeked at Chen Xixi’s screen and asked, “What game are you playing?”
Chen Xixi said indifferently, “Playing mahjong.”
Jin Cheng suddenly smiled widely: “That’s so boring. Let me introduce you to a fun game. I’ll have you know, I’m the top player on the whole server in this game, I’ll take you to the top!”
In the gaming community, he was a top-spender; all the technical pros had to make way for him, so you could say his top player title was bought with a million in cash.
To put it bluntly, except for the set of sparkling equipment that could dazzle one’s eyes, he was nothing special.
But he couldn’t admit this in front of a beautiful lady, as it would be too embarrassing!
Chen Xixi, focusing on her game and lacking any real enthusiasm, replied, “Not interested. No thanks.”
Jin Cheng puckered his lips, puzzled about what was so fun about this mahjong game, which wasn’t as exciting as joining their Guild and fighting in guild wars to win number one in the entire server. Now that would be thrilling!
After Chen Xixi’s phone was fully charged, Jin Cheng finally got to use the charger, and his phone turned on.
Jin Cheng, who hadn’t played games for several days, eagerly logged into his game.
As soon as he logged in, he saw over 999+ messages from his Guild.
Jin Cheng quickly skimmed through the messages and summarized that during the past few days of guild wars, in his absence, their Guild had been defeated.
Damn! A bunch of useless people!
They completely destroyed their Guild’s morale!
Just as he was about to type a response, he saw a system announcement that shocked him: “Win among the top three in the entire server and you can enjoy a free overseas trip! All expenses covered, including meals and travel!”
Chen Xixi: Huh? There’s such a good thing?
Chen Xixi immediately put down her phone, looking very interested in Jin Cheng’s game, and said, “I’m interested in your game now, take me to the top!”
Jin Cheng looked up at Chen Xixi, “If you haven’t played this game before, you’ll need to register an account first and level up before I can pull you into our Guild!”
“Okay.”
While Chen Xixi was busy downloading, registering, and leveling up, Jin Cheng had already begun participating in the Guild war.
Probably because of the rewards for the overseas trip, every Guild was playing very seriously.
An hour later, Jin Cheng almost felt like crying.
Since he hadn’t spent money on the game recently, he was a bit behind in power.
Jin Cheng irritably ran his hands through his hair, “Damn! Who exactly is this ‘Unrivaled Universe Handsome Man’?! He knocked down all my equipment, didn’t even leave me a single shoe!”
…
Zheng He’s live stream room.
Zheng He had already returned an hour ago.
At the moment, he was sitting inside his house playing the game, looking at the glittering gold pants, shirts, and shoes on his phone screen that he had long coveted but couldn’t afford, a wicked grin on his face.
