The System Rewards 100 Million Virtual Currency. What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Everyone has the right to pursue true love, and Yang Chen didn’t want to judge this guy’s feelings.

However, it was still a human life.

Yang Chen did his best to persuade him not to be so impulsive.

“If you’re feeling this bad, think about your parents,” Yang Chen urged. “If you jump and end your life like that, how will your parents ever cope with such a cruel reality?”

“Heartbreak isn’t the end of the world. Wouldn’t it be easy to find someone else?”

“If it really doesn’t work out, you could just stay single. Being single is great! You can hang out with whoever you want, be free, not have to bear any moral pressure, and not feel sorry for anyone.”

“Right? The world is so beautiful, why choose suicide?”

Yang Chen talked for a long time and finally managed to talk him down.

The man looked at Yang Chen very seriously, then smiled slightly and said, “You’re right, handsome. I suddenly feel better. Can you take me home?”

Although Yang Chen didn’t verbally express his dislike, he inevitably felt a little disgusted.

As long as he didn’t commit suicide, Yang Chen didn’t want to get further involved.

“Um, I’m sorry, but I’m off work and about to go home. You can call another car,” Yang Chen replied.

“Who am I going to call in the middle of the night? Please, just take me home. If I suddenly feel like committing suicide again, it’ll be your fault,” the man said in a wheedling tone.

His coquettishness sent a chill down Yang Chen’s spine and gave him goosebumps all over.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, “Where do you live? If it’s on the way, I’ll give you a ride.”

The man quickly replied, “I live in Tianhe Yuan.”

Damn it!

It really was on the way.

Yang Chen had no choice but to say helplessly, “Let’s go, get in the car.”

The man immediately smiled happily and quickly followed Yang Chen into the car.

Along the way, he tried to inquire about Yang Chen’s personal life and family background. Yang Chen gave some vague answers. Soon they arrived at the entrance of Tianhe Yuan.

Yang Chen stopped the car and said, “Okay, we’re at the entrance to your complex. Please gather your belongings and get out of the car. Thanks for choosing Bipi Ride-Hailing.”

The man gracefully flicked his hair and smiled at Yang Chen, “Handsome, come home with me for a glass of water.”

“Thank you, but no, I’m not thirsty. It’s too late, I have to go home and sleep. You should go back too.”

“Then let’s add each other on WeChat and keep in touch,” the man said with a smile.

Yang Chen couldn’t take it anymore. Was this guy never going to quit?

Yang Chen could guess what he was thinking.

Yang Chen was trying to be respectful, but he obviously didn’t respect Yang Chen.

“No! Get out of the car!” Yang Chen said impatiently.

The man huffed and immediately got out of the car and left.

Yang Chen quickly drove off as if he was escaping.

Soon, the Bipi platform system notified Yang Chen that he had received a bad review.

Yang Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly. There really were all kinds of people.

He wasted so much effort to save his life, and this was how he was repaid?

At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with 100 million virtual currency. Note: Virtual currency can be used to purchase virtual goods and is equivalent to real currency. For example, the host can buy QQ coins [digital currency used for various online services in China], game skins, video platform memberships, tip Qidian authors [authors on a popular Chinese web novel platform], etc. To encourage the host to use virtual currency, the system will convert the virtual currency spent by the host into freely disposable legal funds at a 1:1 ratio.”

Buying 100 million yuan [Chinese currency] worth of QQ coins was possible?

Tipping Qidian authors 100 million was possible?

It was almost three o’clock when Yang Chen returned home.

He went to bed late and woke up late. It was almost noon when he woke up.

After a simple lunch, Yang Chen went out to drive.

In the evening, his aunt called Yang Chen.

His cousin Li Xiaofei’s college entrance examination results were out. She scored 610 points, which seemed pretty good.

His aunt wanted Yang Chen to take Zhao Feifei to her house tomorrow as a guest, and also to give his cousin some advice on which university to apply to.

Yang Chen replied honestly, “I’ll go see you tomorrow, but Zhao Feifei and I broke up. She found a rich old man and dumped me.”

His aunt was shocked and said, “Ah? How could she be this kind of person? Given her family’s situation, you didn’t even look down on her. How could she do such a thing? You really can’t judge a book by its cover. I thought she was an honest and reliable girl. Six years of relationship, and she just ran off with someone else. You’re not poor either. You have a house, a car, a job, and hundreds of thousands of savings in the bank. That’s already better than most people.”

“People always want to climb higher. She thinks someone else is richer than me. Forget it, let’s not talk about her. I’ll go over tomorrow morning. Make me sweet and sour pork ribs and braised meatballs for lunch. It’s been a long time since I’ve had them,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

His aunt laughed and said, “Okay! Auntie will get up early tomorrow morning and go to the market to buy the freshest meat. I’ll definitely let you eat your fill.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen continued to drive.

He came back after ten o’clock in the evening, ate dinner, took a shower, and then Yang Chen lay in bed watching streamers play games.

When he was in college, Yang Chen especially liked watching DDP, Xiao Sima, and others stream.

Later, after becoming busy with life, he rarely watched streams.

Today, he saw a news report saying that DDP was sued for singing in the stream and came in to see what was happening.

When he was young, he found these streamers very interesting.

Maybe now that he’s grown up and doesn’t play games much anymore, watching them doesn’t feel the same as it used to.

After hearing DDP say that he had apologized and reached a settlement with the copyright owner, Yang Chen left.

The night was long and he couldn’t sleep.

Yang Chen clicked on a beauty streamer to watch for a while.

Yang Chen usually didn’t watch big streamers because big streamers had established fan bases and paid promoters [union water armies]. Without spending a lot of money on gifts, the streamer wouldn’t even notice him.

He liked to go to some small streamers and spend a few yuan on gifts, and he could hear the streamer calling him “good brother” in a delicate voice.

Life was boring, and occasional adjustments were good.

At this time, Yang Chen saw a streamer with 100,000 viewers in a stream.

Her ID was “Smoked Wukong’s Smoke,” which was a bit interesting. [Wukong refers to the Monkey King, a famous character in Chinese mythology.]

Yang Chen went in and watched for a while. There was basically no content.

The streamer was just acting cute and asking for gifts, then singing a song to boost popularity, and then continuing to ask for gifts.

As long as someone gave her a gift, she would say “Thank you, Brother So-and-So” in a very delicate voice.

Yang Chen thought her funny ID was interesting, and he also had to use the 100 million virtual currency to exchange it for real cash.

So, he gave the streamer a rocket [a type of virtual gift on streaming platforms].

The streamer quickly got up and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, Brother ‘Stars Never Fade,’ for the rocket. Is this your first time here? Do you want to hear a song? You can request a song and I can sing it for you.”

Since he had already given a gift, he had to get something in return.

Yang Chen replied, “Sing ‘The Lonely Warrior’.”

The streamer quickly replied, “Okay, no problem. Please wait a moment while I find the accompaniment.”

At this time, the top-ranked ID, “Smoking When Lonely,” sent a barrage [scrolling comments on a live stream].

“Damn! ‘The Lonely Warrior,’ are you a primary school student? Isn’t that a children’s song? Kindergarten kids love this song the most.”

At this time, the style of the barrage also changed with this top-ranked big brother.

“You know, the kindergarten downstairs from my house sings this song every day. My ears are getting calluses from listening to it.”

“Kindergarten kids, don’t use your dad’s phone to give gifts to pretty aunties.”

“Damn it, why are you guys bullying a newbie? He at least contributed a rocket, don’t scare him away.”
