Chapter 297: It Seems I Don’t Have Any Strengths Besides Having a Little Money

“Sister, work a little harder. A friend is looking for me.”

Chi Qingyao glanced at her chat messages. Just a moment ago, her friend had called her to come online and play a game.

Of course, calling her a friend, but she thought this person was just a good-for-nothing rich ATM machine.

After all, for just advice, anyone else wouldn’t be willing to spend money.

But the other party happened to like solving everything with money.

As it happened, she was short on cash.

“I understand.”

Chi Qingya’s movements gradually slowed down. She silently began to tidy up the room on her own.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to clean the room. She just hadn’t felt like it lately, for some reason.

She didn’t know how she had gradually degenerated into her current state.

In the past, at home, she used to clean her room herself.

Maybe because of her sister’s arrival, she had found some feeling of being at home, and tidying the room started to give her motivation.

Chi Qingya didn’t think there was anything wrong with sending Chi Qingyao a red envelope so she could go play games.

She had no friends.

Naturally, she wanted her sister to have a good relationship with her friends.

Maybe if she had spent money on the game back then, she could have made some friends too.

【Fish Fish, you’re playing games with the person you like. I feel like you two have a really good relationship. It should go more smoothly than you imagine.】

Chi Qingyao chatted with her friend named “Cute Yuyu Roll.”

In her world, anyone could become her friend.

Of course, there were differences in closeness between friends.

Friends like “Cute Yuyu Roll” were highly replaceable.

Maybe one day, she would lose interest in Honor of Kings, or Cute Yuyu Roll would lose interest in it, and they would gradually drift apart.

But Chi Qingyao didn’t care about that.

As long as she made enough friends fast enough, it wouldn’t outweigh the speed at which she drifted apart from them.

She had met Cute Yuyu Roll online.

Earlier, she had been winning too many games and got a bit bored.

So Chi Qingyao chose the Jail Nine Gate hero Yang Jian.

Of course, she didn’t play Yang Jian because she liked him that much.

It was just to annoy people.

She wanted to test how everyone would react to seeing a Jail Nine Gate hero.

Sure enough, with the combined efforts of her and two other bot-like teammates, she achieved a loss in the game.

Losing this game wasn’t the greatest pleasure she got. The real fun came from trash-talking with those two bot-like teammates, who were attached at the hip.

One of them didn’t reply to her.

But the other did reply.

Clearly, they couldn’t handle her insults.

He was supposedly a National Server Ma Chao, but played like complete garbage.

Chi Qingyao even suspected he had paid someone to boost his rank.

She hadn’t intended to climb ranking points with that match anyway. After cursing him out, she ignored that bot.

But somehow, that person was a masochist. After being scolded, he still chatted with her and asked her for advice.

Chi Qingyao didn’t want to waste time on such a fool, but the other party said they would transfer money and send a red envelope.

The other party was a noble Honor Noble.

Chi Qingyao was one too.

She had always hidden her noble mark, so no one knew she was a noble Honor Noble.

Only when she shared skins with classmates or friends while playing together did they find out.

Chi Qingyao just felt that if she showed her noble rank, a bunch of useless sycophants would approach her.

Wasting her time.

Most sycophants just said a bunch of boring things.

Such a turn-off.

Besides wasting time, these people couldn’t provide any emotional value.

As everyone knew, there were differences between Honor Nobles.

Games might have a ceiling, but a person’s wallet might have no limit.

Students like her, whose allowance was controlled by their parents, were at the bottom of the Honor Noble hierarchy.

And the person she had cursed out and who asked her for advice was Cute Yuyu Roll.

One day, Cute Yuyu Roll asked her:

【Would you be with a girl who is good at gaming but not good-looking?】

【No, I’d only treat her as a tool to climb ranks.】

After accepting the red envelope for Cute Yuyu Roll’s consultation, Chi Qingyao replied.

She suspected Cute Yuyu Roll was talking about a friend of hers.

After all, she didn’t seem like the type of girl who was good at games.

But maybe the not-good-looking part was true.

So Cute Yuyu Roll was the kind of girl who was bad at games and not good-looking.

What would anyone see in being with someone like that?

She thought Cute Yuyu Roll’s question was idiotic, but the other party had money.

Maybe someone would be with her for her money.

She remembered the weight of that National Server Ma Chao she saw online.

Even if his voice was nice, it was just the sound of fat pressing on his vocal cords.

If they were in a long-distance online relationship, a nice voice had a little use.

But if they met in person, who would want to eat with a greasy Dafeizhu?

It wasn’t like they were eating Longjiang pig trotter rice.

Having received the money, Chi Qingyao gave Cute Yuyu Roll some extra treats.

【Even though being good at games is a plus, that’s only acceptable to me online. I wouldn’t want to stay with a big fat pig every day.】

After she said that, Cute Yuyu Roll didn’t send any more messages.

It was a long time before Cute Yuyu Roll contacted her again.

She said she wanted to lose weight.

People who truly want to lose weight don’t tell others.

They just silently work hard at it.

But those who announce it—few of them actually stick with it.

As for online friends wanting to lose weight, Chi Qingyao always thought it was like Schrödinger’s weight loss.

After a while, maybe they succeed.

Or maybe they get fatter.

Xiao Yuyu was rich.

She transferred money to Chi Qingyao, wanting her to be a consultant.

For some reason, Xiao Yuyu thought she was a real-life person.

Chi Qingyao naturally wouldn’t refuse anything that came with money.

Even if she was a noble Honor Noble, she wouldn’t turn down someone sending her cash.

She was different now.

Her account had seventy-five thousand in savings.

She figured most college students weren’t as wealthy as her.

Money was her confidence.

Even when facing other rich Honor Nobles, Chi Qingyao didn’t feel inferior.

【Freedom, you don’t understand. It seems like apart from having a little money, I have no other strengths.】

【Su Li is really, really amazing. She’ll definitely meet someone better than me.】

【If someone richer than me appears, won’t I lose my only advantage?】

【I brought her to play games with me today. Help me think of something!】
