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

Chapter 98: Chapter 95… it’s all his damn charm’s fault!! Chapter 98: Chapter 95… it’s all his damn charm’s fault!! Every time I see Han Qianyi, I get so mad I could die. Maybe I should watch Chen Xixi instead, get some tips on saving money, and practice a bit of trickery!
While eating her noodles, Han Qianyi’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly asked, “Last night, I heard Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng discussing some monster-slaying game. Do you know what they were up to?”
She had woken up late last night and vaguely heard some noise from the kitchen, so she listened at the door for a while.
But their voices were too soft and intermittent; she couldn’t hear them clearly. She only heard something about grinding for gear, so she guessed they were playing a game.
She was extremely curious about how Chen Xixi’s phone was charged, but she was even more curious about why Chen Xixi, in the dead of night, wasn’t sleeping and instead was playing games with Jin Cheng.
Knowing Chen Xixi as she did, she felt that Chen Xixi wasn’t the type to shy away from troubles. Thus, there must be something unusual about this game that caught Chen Xixi’s attention.
Zheng He was usually well-informed about Chen Xixi’s comings and goings, so he’d likely have some idea.
But to her surprise, as Zheng He took a big bite of his hamburger, he mumbled unclearly, “What? You’re saying she and Jin Cheng are gaming?”
Han Qianyi resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
It seemed like Zheng He knew nothing at all.
Then Han Qianyi turned to ask again, “Do you know where Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng charge their phones?”
Of course Zheng He knew; they must be charging them at the hotel. But he didn’t want to tell his rival, Han Qianyi.
Zheng He shook his head, feigning ignorance, “No clue.”
Inside, Han Qianyi rolled her eyes so hard, finding him utterly useless even though she fed him the ham for free!
Thick-skinned as he was, Zheng He didn’t care what Han Qianyi thought. After eating, he swiftly made his exit.
Han Qianyi called after him, but he didn’t even turn his head back, acting like a scumbag who refuses to acknowledge you after pulling his pants up.
Watching Zheng He’s retreating figure leaving the convenience store, Han Qianyi silently cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations.
So infuriating! Yet she still had to maintain her smile in front of the camera.
The future Oscar-winning actress mustn’t break character on camera!
Zheng He’s rush to leave had nothing to do with avoiding Han Qianyi; he was anxious to find a spot to charge his phone and take the cute little sister leveling up and gearing up.
On his way to the hotel, passing by a burger joint, he thought he saw two familiar figures seated in front of the restaurant’s glass window.
Weren’t those Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng?
Both were holding their phones horizontally, clearly playing some game.
Zheng He suddenly remembered the monster-slaying game Han Qianyi mentioned…
Could it be that Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng were playing the same game as him?
This thought brought a devilish smile to Zheng He’s lips.
If that was the case, it would be quite intriguing.
If he didn’t run all over the server looting their gear and regaining his lost dignity, he might as well take Chen Xixi’s surname!
Zheng He, with eagle eyes, noticed the charging cable plugged into Jin Cheng’s phone…
The hotel was much farther than this burger joint. Since there was a closer spot to charge, Zheng He wouldn’t choose to travel the longer distance.
Stepping towards the burger joint, he mused about how clever Chen Xixi was in picking the location.
Zheng He had planned to just casually charge his phone, but then he thought about the awesome gear he just got. If he didn’t show off in front of them, he would feel terribly uncomfortable!
So, he sat down at the table next to them, leaning towards Jin Cheng, his neck stretched long, trying to peek at what game they were playing.
And what a coincidence, the game interface looked exactly like the one he was currently playing.
Feigning surprise, he blurted out, “Oh wow, what a coincidence! What are you guys playing?”
Hearing his voice, Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng exchanged a knowing glance, then both revealed an expression that screamed, ‘talk about bad luck.’
After exchanging looks, they continued to lower their heads and play their game without paying any attention to Zheng He.
Zheng He awkwardly touched his nose.
It was just a slight hiccup, not enough to dampen his desire to show off before them!
Zheng He cleared his throat and deliberately stressed, “I’m also playing this game, and guess what? I’m the number one player on the entire server!”
This declaration instantly caught the attention of Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng.
Full server rank one?
According to what they knew, the current full server rank one was that disgustingly shameless narcissist ‘Unrivaled Universe Handsome Man’.
Only someone utterly shameless and self-obsessed could come up with such a name for themselves.
Even though Zheng He truly had some traits of a shameless narcissist, but, did Zheng He have the skills?
Did Zheng He possess the strength to burst the equipment of the full server rank one?
Jin Cheng found it somewhat amusing, turned his head, and looked at Zheng He with disdain, “Just you?”
Zheng He nodded arrogantly: “Yes! Just me! Moreover, I’ve burst all the equipment of the previous full server rank one!”
The expressions on Jin Cheng and Chen Xixi’s faces changed in an instant.
Both of them looked at Zheng He with complex expressions on their faces, silent for a long time.
Zheng He thought their silence meant they didn’t believe him, so he took out his phone, charged it up, turned it on, and entered the game.
He opened up the character profile page of his game avatar and showed them the character adorned in dazzling golden gear.
Actually, just checking the rankings would prove if he was the full server rank one. The reason he pulled up the character profile page was just to show off his awesome equipment!
[Damn! It really was Zheng He who burst Jin Cheng’s equipment! Zheng He truly has some skills!]
[Zheng He dares to flaunt the victim’s possessions right in front of the victim, I think Zheng He is courting death.]
[I feel like Zheng He is about to receive a mixed doubles beating, silently lighting a candle for him.]
Three minutes later…
[Fam! The feast begins!]
[My suona is already playing!]
[Where’s the feast, where’s the feast, I’ve already got my plastic bag ready, prepared to dig in anytime!]
Without another word, Jin Cheng grabbed Zheng He by the collar, dragged him outside of the burger joint, and started a barrage of punches mixed with personal grudges.
Zheng He was already confused, and now getting beaten up made him even more dazed, he quickly tried to dodge and then angrily cursed: “Are you sick! Why the hell are you hitting me!”
Jin Cheng angrily spat out: “So it was you who stole my gear!”
To Jin Cheng, his equipment was like his lifeblood. Now that he knew who had taken his lifeblood, how could he remain calm!
Chen Xixi just stood by and watched. Only when it was almost enough did Chen Xixi step forward to mediate.
When Zheng He was leaving, he touched his cheek that Jin Cheng had punched to a swollen red, took a sharp intake of breath due to the pain, and uttered a severe threat: “You just wait!”
If he does not beat Jin Cheng and Chen Xixi until they exit the server, he will not take the surname Zheng!
Fuming, Jin Cheng returned to the burger joint, unable to comprehend, “How could it be Zheng He who stole my gear!”
The corners of Chen Xixi’s lips slightly curled: “No worries, it’s better that it’s him.”
Knowing that it was Zheng He who took his gear, Jin Cheng played even harder.
He thought, he could lose to others, but losing to an idiot like Zheng He made him feel like he was worse than an idiot!
How embarrassing!
The two of them continued grinding until the burger joint closed at nine in the evening before heading back to the village.
Meanwhile.
In a private room of the club.
Lu Wenling, who had just rejected a woman’s confession, turned his head to look at the rarely organizing host, Zhou Jinyuan.
Seeing Zhou Jinyuan with a gloomy look, silently drinking, he couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “What’s wrong with you?”
Zhou Jinyuan kept silent for a few seconds, set down the glass in his hand onto the table, and turned his face to meet Lu Wenling’s gaze, his dark eyes showing an especially serious demeanor: “If you found out you liked a man, what would you do?”
Lu Wenling was taken aback, the next second, he moved back away from Zhou Jinyuan, maintaining a safe distance.
Then, fearfully, he fastened every button on his shirt collar tightly and exclaimed in alarm: “No way! You like me too?”
Had his charm reached a level that men and women alike were attracted to him?
Had even the steadfast and self-controlled Zhou Jinyuan failed to restrain himself, harboring improper thoughts about him?
Ah… curse his deadly charm!!
