Chapter 66: Spending Money Is Also Making Money

Jiang Xueli's eyes were full of worship. "You have to be my coser!"

She had auditioned so many people at the start, but none of them had been suitable. Just when she was fretting over it, she'd seen Jiang Muye passing by downstairs, and her eyes had instantly lit up.

His extraordinarily handsome looks and his cold, aloof, powerful aura made him identical to Lord Aotian.

After all, Chang'an Under Heaven was Jiang Xueli's favorite novel, and Aotian was the super male god in her heart, so of course she had to find the person she was most satisfied with to portray him.

No one was more suitable for this role than him!

"So you put me up on the Confession Wall?" Jiang Muye felt speechless.

"That's right, it was the fastest way to find you. Quite a few people have already provided me with leads." Jiang Xueli smiled. "Of course, to get you to chat with me calmly, I had my cousin-uncle—the Dean—summon you here in his name."

Jiang Muye was thoroughly depressed. He refused Jiang Xueli on the spot. "Sorry, I don't run in cosplay circles. Go find someone else."

The System reminded him: 【Congratulations, Host, on rejecting Jiang Xueli. You have obtained 500,000 RMB and 200 Grit Points.】

Jiang Muye got up.

Jiang Xueli grew very anxious. Dainty and petite, she instantly ran in front of Jiang Muye and said hopefully, "Please, I'm begging you to help. I haven't released a photobook in over a year, and I've been preparing this one for a long time. All you have to do is cooperate with me for the photos. Name your price, and I can satisfy it."

Jiang Muye glanced at Jiang Xueli. "Then let me name a price. What would it take for you to give up?"

With the System, how could he possibly be short on money?

Besides, he was the heir to a fortune worth hundreds of millions. Just from the pocket money his aunt gave him, Jiang Muye had more than he could use up.

Jiang Muye had long since emptied his Taobao shopping cart. Not only had he bought every single LoL skin, he'd even gotten so bored that he'd directly bought hundreds of stocks, going from one to the next without caring whether he lost money or not. The main point was the fun of buying.

Who'd have thought that after buying the stocks, he'd end up earning over two million?

Now Jiang Muye worried even more about having nowhere to spend his money.

Jiang Xueli had never imagined Jiang Muye would counterattack like this. Her Barbie-like, innocent eyes gazed up at Jiang Muye. "Then what do you want? I can agree to anything."

"No need. Find someone else."

Although Jiang Muye did go to comic conventions, he'd never once thought about crossing over into cosplay circles, nor was he willing to wade into these muddy waters and make money off selling photobooks. That wasn't his style.

Jiang Muye subconsciously walked toward the door.

Watching his aloof, proud back, Jiang Xueli's worship of Jiang Muye flowed endlessly like a surging river. "Even his rejections are just like Lord Aotian's. This role was tailor-made for you. I will absolutely not give up."

Jiang Xueli was a coser with standards. Now that she'd encountered such a high-quality cosplay prospect who suited her tastes so well, how could she possibly give up?

Besides, for the role of Aotian, no one other than Jiang Muye could replace him. She didn't want to find someone else to shoot as his CP—that would smash her golden signboard and lose her fans.

…

After Jiang Muye came out of the office, he opened the System panel.

His Grit Points had already reached three thousand, so he could do a lottery draw now.

Jiang Muye simply went straight for fifteen consecutive draws.

The System wheel began to spin.

Fifteen draws yielded five prizes in total.

Although the win rate was lower than Jiang Muye had imagined—a bit low—every prize was something he was interested in.

【Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Fivefold Rebate skill for one day.】

【Congratulations, Host, on becoming Weather's Child.】

【Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Boxing King skill: overwhelming momentum, every punch to the flesh.】

【Congratulations, Host, on improving your nighttime sleep quality. You will no longer suffer from insomnia.】

【Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a copy of the Land Development Manual, worth ten million.】

Jiang Muye was instantly curious. He asked the System, What is Weather's Child?

System: 【You can freely control the weather.】

Jiang Muye: The weather? How do I control it?

There was such a good thing!

System: 【You only need to think of the weather in your mind, and it will change.】

Jiang Muye looked out the window. The weather was currently gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

He directly thought of it in his mind, and before long, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing blue skies and white clouds with brilliant sunlight. The overcast day had turned into a super clear, sunny one!

Jiang Muye grew excited. "Wow, amazing."

Then what did he have to fear from wind and rain? He didn't need to bring an umbrella either.

He could freely control the weather anyway.

System: 【However, to avoid disrupting the laws of weather, the control only lasts for half an hour.】

Jiang Muye didn't mind at all. No problem, half an hour is enough.

After Jiang Muye finished testing the skill, he asked again, Then what about the Boxing King skill?

System: 【Unless you encounter a new Boxing King, no one will ever be able to beat you. You can kill dozens of crybabies with one hand.】

Jiang Muye: …Killing them is a bit of an exaggeration.

System: 【Don't worry, you can control your strength. Now this System will begin transmitting fist techniques and moves to you. Please receive them, Host.】

Jiang Muye immediately began to receive them.

Soon after Jiang Muye accepted them, he felt full of vigor from head to toe.

He had clearly never learned to box, yet a whole set of fist techniques had flashed through his mind directly, and Jiang Muye could perform them relying on muscle memory alone.

The especially cool, high-difficulty moves from action movies—Jiang Muye could do them with ease.

He was extremely excited. With this, he could become a martial arts superstar!

As for the Fivefold Rebate, that was even easier. He just had to go spend money, and he'd get five times the rebate.

Although it only lasted one day, it was enough for Jiang Muye to squander.

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curled upward.

Now he was going to spend money properly.

Oh, no—earn money properly!

That afternoon, at the mall's specialty counters.

Under Mi Lu's lead, Leng Ruoli had already bought bags upon bags of things, and she was now wearing the new skirt she'd bought.

She was sitting on the sofa in the store, waiting for Mi Lu to come out of the fitting room.

The clothes she wore now were a bit sexier than what she'd bought before, but not too revealing.

A black-and-white striped, form-fitting tube-top sweater set off her beautiful, full bust, with a deep creamy cleavage. The knot of the top landed just above her navel, revealing her lovely slim waist. Below, she wore a black bodycon leather skirt that fully displayed Leng Ruoli's very long, alluring legs.

Leng Ruoli looked at herself in the mirror, her face flushing red.

The counter girls kept praising her, and even Sister Mi Lu was satisfied. This outfit should look very good, right? She wondered what Jiang Muye's reaction would be when he saw it.

With that thought, Leng Ruoli immediately took out her phone and started taking selfies.

Just as she'd taken several photos, a soft, yielding body suddenly pressed up against her.

Mi Lu's hand rested on Leng Ruoli's shoulder. Her breath was as fragrant as orchids as she said with a smile, "Not bad, you've wised up now and know how to take selfies. Tell me, what made you want to take selfies!"

Mi Lu knew Leng Ruoli didn't much like having her picture taken, and didn't usually have the habit of selfies either.

Leng Ruoli had suddenly…
