Mo Yang couldn’t believe what he had heard for a moment. Did Song Aotian really solve the Three Flying Asura Stage that he had been pondering over just like that?
Could all conflicts be resolved with just a stab of a knife? If that’s the case, Mo Yang felt that it’s worth seriously considering the possibility of stepping on three boats at once.
But then he saw the glamorous youth with a beauty mark coming out of the ward, and the smirk and the faintly excited yet sinister gleam in his eyes.
Mo Yang: “…” Life is already difficult enough, don’t court death and you won’t die. Being indecisive is wrong.
After the youth came out, he noticed Mo Yang at the door. He quietly looked at Mo Yang for two seconds, then walked directly up to him, extending his slender fingers as if to touch Mo Yang’s face, only to be swiftly and resolutely avoided by Mo Yang.
“So cute.” The glamorous youth smiled: “I’m Bai Hu, the fox of the fox spirits. If you feel lonely or empty, you can come to find me, oh~”
Mo Yang smiled politely: “Thank you. I love studying, studying makes me content, and I won’t feel empty.”
After saying this, he turned around and left. With his 28 years of experience as a wealthy person, if he couldn’t tell that it was a treacherous beauty, then he would be blind.
So he could be sure that what awaited Song Aotian was definitely not a harmonious and happy life in the Three Flying World, it might be… a sadistic love, imprisonment in a little black room, or something.
Just thinking about it made him shudder.
After returning, Mo Yang told Wan Mei what he saw at the school hospital. Wan Mei, who was reluctant to even move to conserve his life value and stamina, nodded in agreement, saying it was as expected.
“If getting an A-grade evaluation is so easy, then this game in Dream World would be meaningless. The games in Dream World should be designed to extract as much energy as possible from the players, otherwise, it would be a loss for them.”
Mo Yang nodded in agreement.
“So, it’s best not to pursue multiple NPCs at once, then… Should I just focus on raising the favorability of Feng Yu, since he already has the highest favorability of 30? He’s quite cute, although a bit clingy at times.” Wan Mei, the chief novelist, said with no pressure as if it was just a game.
“In that case, why don’t you pursue Wei Shuyu, the class monitor? He seems quite interested in you, and his favorability should be quite high, right?” Mo Yang suggested.
Wan Mei gave a smirk that lacked any amusement: “Hmm, 30.”
“However, to be honest, do you really think pursuing an NPC is the best choice?” Wan Mei asked.
Mo Yang fell silent for a moment: “To be honest, I can’t be sure. But if not choosing a fixed NPC to pursue, is there a better method? After all, this is a romance simulation game, and the basic requirement is to pursue a romantic relationship.”
At that moment, Wan Mei revealed a cunning and sinister smile that made people feel uneasy: “There’s actually a better method.”
Mo Yang was puzzled: “???”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“For example, you and I could pursue each other.” Wan Mei said with a sincere look. If Mo Yang hadn’t already known this person’s true nature these days, he might have actually believed it.
“Lft, ktja jybea ojnbgjylilas atfc?”
“Qf’nf yffc mijrrwjafr obg j kffx, jcv sbeg ojnbgjylilas abkjgvr wf tjrc’a fnfc gfjmtfv 20, gluta?”
“Qlat atja xlcv bo qgbugfrr, vb sbe gfjiis fzqfma er ab qegref fjmt batfg jcv jmtlfnf jcs rluclolmjca gfreiar?!” Zb Tjcu mbivis gfpfmafv atf qgbqbrji: “Po sbe kjca ab wjxf agbeyif obg sbegrfio, vbc’a lcnbinf wf. P kjca ab obmer bc qijslcu atf ujwf jcv wjxlcu wbcfs. P’w gfislcu bc gfv mjgvr ab rjnf ws ilof lc gfji ilof.”
Wan Mei’s eyes flashed, and then she chuckled softly: “Alright, it seems that my suggestion is ineffective until we find a way to deceive the system’s affection evaluation. So, do as you wish according to your own plan. However, I believe NPCs also have their own preferences, so you might…”
Mo Yang: “What?”
“No worries, if you can’t handle it, you can come to me for help. As classmates and neighbors, I’ll be happy to assist you.”
Mo Yang scoffed: “There aren’t many things in this world that I can’t handle. I’ll give you the same offer, if you need help, you can come to me.”
Then, the system screens of both of them simultaneously flashed a notification of increased goodwill towards each other.
[Yang Heigou goodwill +1, current goodwill value 16.]
[Mei BaiWan goodwill +1, current goodwill value 16.]
Since the recording began, their goodwill values have been slowly and steadily increasing in a fair and balanced manner. If 006 and 009 were present, they would surely be anxious about their hosts’ slow progress in increasing their goodwill, while also angrily accusing each other of seducing their hosts.
Such contradictions.
After setting his target, Mo Yang focused on his strategy toward Feng Yu, while intentionally and slowly reducing his goodwill towards Ouyang Shuo.
He also found success in his work at the Nightfall Bar & Club. Somehow, he was very popular, even just as a waiter. When he broke the wrist of a man who attempted to grope his buttocks and yet wasn’t fired or scolded for it, he was even assigned to serve drinks and received tips willingly.
As a result, within a week, Yang Heigou earned 1,500 RMB, a gratifying amount. He also received a gift from a beautiful female customer.
It was a very beautiful starry sky watch, which cost Mo Yang and the female customer a session of passionately cursing and complaining about her husband together, and professionally advising her on how to hold her husband’s weak points, so the female customer was extremely happy and came to give him the gift on the third night.
After finishing work, Mo Yang admired the beautiful watch and wondered what he should use it for. In the real world, this watch would easily cost six figures, and if it were for someone he liked, he would not hesitate to spend seven figures on it. He was just pondering over its use when he suddenly saw a message on the system interface.
[Upon returning to the dream world, the player finds that the item “Rich Lady’s Expensive Watch”, which can be exchanged for from the game world, has automatically appeared in the inventory as a card.]
Mo Yang was somewhat surprised as he looked at the wristwatch in his hand. He quickly returned to the dream world from the game world and found that the item “Rich Lady’s Expensive Watch” had automatically appeared in his inventory as a card.
Mo Yang opened the Dream Store to see how much this watch could fetch in the dream world. When he placed the watch in the selling column, a purchase price popped up.
Watch: 100 Dream Coins.
Mo Yang: “…It’s clearly a Rich Lady’s Expensive Watch!”
006 appeared at this moment, sneering with its mechanical voice: [Even if it’s an expensive and good-looking watch, it’s just a watch. Do you expect it to be used as a tranquilizer and tracker like that detective boy’s watch? Wake up, it’s only worth 100 coins! At least you can buy a Level 1 Invisibility Cloak Card with it! Be content, host!]
Mo Yang’s mouth twitched: “Shut up.”
006 trembled with pride.
Mo Yang smirked and ignored the annoying guide, preparing to sell his second batch of lettuce.
Speaking of his lettuce, Mo Yang was somewhat nostalgic.
Even though lettuce was a very common vegetable, Mo Yang was experiencing the joy of growing vegetables for the first time. So he was quite happy when it was time to harvest.
It seemed that many people had the same sentimental attachment to homegrown produce. Even though it was just vegetables, it was difficult to eat or sell something that you had grown with your own hands.
Mo Yang was no exception. After his first harvest, he looked at his 40 fresh and vibrant lettuce leaves with great joy. He felt that the vegetables he grew were greener, more vibrant, and healthier than those grown by others. So, he was not willing to sell them even to the in-game store of Dream World, let alone to other players.
Therefore, Mo Yang neatly placed his lettuce in the refrigerator.
On the first day, he looked at his fresh and vibrant lettuce with delight.
On the second day, he noticed that the lettuce seemed a little wilted.
On the third day, he finally realized that even fresh and vibrant lettuce couldn’t last long, but he still couldn’t bear to sell it. So Mo Yang decided to… stir-fry a dish of lettuce for himself.
In Dream World, food grown and harvested by players can be sold, made into dishes and sold, or eaten. Selling can earn Dream Coins, but if successfully making dishes, the finished dishes can turn into golden food cards, replenishing the player’s health points in the game. If lucky enough to make a high-quality dish, it can also improve the player’s mental and physical attributes in reality.
Therefore, many people choose to become chefs in the game.
But…
Dreams are good, but reality can be cruel. The difficulty of cooking in Dream World seems to be ten times higher than in the real world.
After Mo Yang wasted 10 of his fresh and vibrant lettuce leaves and ended up with two plates of undercooked failures, he realized that Dream World would never allow them to easily make money.
He even specifically checked the player forum of Dream World.
Apart from the top three game rankings and the Dream World Rich List, the forum was filled with various discussion threads among players.
However, don’t expect to find any solid information about cracking the game from these threads. All the game strategies were blocked, and even mentioning small tips had to be extremely subtle. So, the threads were mostly complaints and showing off.
Mo Yang was scrolling through the Dream World forum, venting about the various challenges of earning Dream Coins.
He also noticed someone bragging about obtaining a rare Body Transformation Card that promises to give the perfect body proportions within three months, making everyone obsessed with their physique.
Mo Yang felt tempted by the card and saw someone offering 5000 Dream Coins to buy it, but their offer was rejected.
But most of the posts were complaints, especially about their failed attempts at cooking in the Dream World.
When Mo Yang saw the pictures of poorly cooked dishes like stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried cucumber, and tomato scrambled eggs, he finally felt relieved about burning two pans of lettuce before.
“It’s not that I lack talent, it’s just that the Dream World is too frustrating,” Mo Yang thought.
So he decided to sell the 30 lettuce he had harvested and earned 30 Dream Coins.
So poor.
Now it was his second harvest of lettuce, and Mo Yang thought: “After I sell this batch, I’ll plant another one and I’ll have 110 Dream Coins, enough to buy a card and sneak into the capital city.”
Just as he was about to drag the lettuce into the Dream Store, his neighbor’s door opened.
Mo Yang paused and turned his head to see Wan Mei slowly emerging, noticing the lettuce in his hand.
“You’re selling lettuce? Sell it to me directly. I’ll give you an extra 5 coins,” Wan Mei said.
Mo Yang chuckled. “Do you think 5 coins will make me deliver it to your door?”
“At least 10 coins!”
Wan Mei frowned. “…”
“Maximum 8 coins, or forget it,” Mo Yang said decisively, then grabbed the basket of 40 lettuce and hurried to deliver it.
“Deal! Welcome back next time!” Mo Yang called out.
Wan Mei sighed. “…” As the heir of a well-known company, couldn’t Mo Yang show a little dignity of a wealthy person?
How did I become a millionaire? Lettuce, dude
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Thank you for the chapter !
Did they share backgrounds? Why does he know he should have a wealthy dignity otherwise?? Snooping? 👀
From now on, he shall be known as lettuce prince.
Is it me or is the translation of the names a bit wonky? For example in a line for the ML you accidentally used she, instead of he as well as in some other dialogue or action, you use mo yang instead of wan mei
Id rec you have a proofreader to fix these mistakes to increase reading enjoyment! Especially since you finished completing the trans!
