My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 444: The Fourth Virtual Girlfriend with Maximum Initial Favorability

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Fourth Virtual Girlfriend with Maximum Initial Favorability

Thinking that, Chen Yan stopped hesitating and opened the game’s main interface.

The main interface opened, showing Chen Yan the pixelated avatar of Yu Qiao Qiao.

Yu Qiao Qiao lingered in the dorm, sitting on the bed, daydreaming. Her mood was indicated by a yellow face, signifying that her mood was so-so.

Chen Yan’s gaze lingered on Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixelated figure, then he remembered he seemed to have consistently neglected to reply to her messages.

He sighed softly, thinking that after selecting He Mengxue later, he’d have a chat with Yu Qiao Qiao.

With that in mind, Chen Yan looked towards the switching key at the top left corner of the game’s main interface.

Just a click of this switch key would switch to the status interface of other Virtual Girlfriends.

Ever since he received a nomination last time, a golden "Choose Your Own" option appeared beneath the button.

Chen Yan clicked on the option.

Instantly, a prompt popped up on his phone screen,

"Would you use your own select Virtual Girlfriend quota?"

Chen Yan clicked, "Yes."

A moment later, his phone screen displayed another prompt.

"Please choose the method to use your select Virtual Girlfriend quota."

There were two methods for selecting a Virtual Girlfriend.

One was for Chen Yan to set the criteria himself, as he did the first time, and let the system match for him.

The other was that Chen Yan could choose from a pool of acquaintances with an affection level above 60 points.

What had made Chen Yan hesitate before was how to make this choice.

But now, with a complete plan in mind, he decisively selected the second method.

With Chen Yan choosing this option,

Four women appeared before him.

Yang Rou, Yang Nuannuan, He Mengxue, and... Jiang Xiaoyun.

Chen Yan’s gaze again lingered on Yang Rou for a while.

In fact, Chen Yan once wanted to choose Yang Rou as the fourth Virtual Girlfriend.

Even, he felt that although Yang Rou loved the film industry, she probably had a deep-seated desire for a career.

In that case, sending Yang Rou to manage an overseas investment company would also be a good choice.

He once gave many opportunities to Yang Rou.

And he had many in-depth conversations with her.

But regretfully, "Yang Rou" had too many shocking revelations online.

On this account, Chen Yan truly deducted some points.

By contrast, He Mengxue’s past was much more innocent and simple.

Plus the incident this time, so, in the end, Chen Yan still went with He Mengxue.

With that in mind, Chen Yan’s finger finally landed on He Mengxue’s name.

And with the selection of He Mengxue’s name,

His phone screen displayed the final prompt.

"The fourth Virtual Girlfriend selection complete."

"The fourth Virtual Girlfriend is being confirmed..."

"Conditions met, congratulations: He Mengxue has become the player’s fourth Virtual Girlfriend."

Accompanied by a series of prompts, a photo of He Mengxue appeared on the phone screen, wearing a red dress, her skin like snow, gentle as water, holding a wine glass, slender jade fingers clutching a lady’s cigarette, eyes slightly squinting, alluring and captivating.

Chen Yan did not carelessly swipe away the photo, but instead examined it closely.

The He Mengxue in the photo looked older than her current age.

She appeared more mature, voluptuous.

Losing some greenness, but gaining a bit of Yang Rou’s charm.

She gave off the feeling of a ripe red apple.

Looking at her just made one want to take a bite, to taste her voluptuous and juicy body.

Chen Yan recalled the photos of the few Virtual Girlfriends provided by the system, it seemed they were not their current photos.

Instead, they were photos of some future moment.

What did this all imply?

Or what hint was it giving himself?

While thinking about this, Chen Yan swiped away the photo and began to look at He Mengxue’s data after becoming a Virtual Girlfriend.

Opening the info interface, He Mengxue’s affection score popped up.

99.

Chen Yan hesitated a bit.

Not that the affection score was high, but he thought it was a bit low...

Did He Mengxue only have an affection score of 99 towards him?

Or was it because the maximum score a Virtual Girlfriend could start off with was only 99?

As Chen Yan was thinking this,

System prompts started to pop up one after another on his phone screen.

"He Mengxue’s affection score: 99 (Friendship level affection cap reached, waiting for girlfriend to confirm her emotions...)"

"He Mengxue has clarified her feelings, affection score reaches 100 points, relationship successfully advanced to ’Likes’. Next level of affection unlocked, new poses unlocked."

Following that, in front of Chen Yan, He Mengxue’s 99 points of affection score slowly added a "1".

Afterward, as soon as the affection score reached three digits, He Mengxue’s affection score started to skyrocket like a wild horse breaking free.

The numbers changed wildly.

And finally settled on a terrifying number: 146.

And once the number settled, Chen Yan knew that this must be He Mengxue’s true affection score.

An affection score that exceeded the limit straight off the bat.

An affection score that was just a step away from the perfect 200.

Chen Yan felt that this conformed more to how He Mengxue had shown her fondness for him usually.

It must be said that He Mengxue’s initial affection score turned out to be the highest among all the Virtual Girlfriends Chen Yan had selected.

So... Chen Yan reflexively checked Zhao Ying’s affection score.

131.

Because Chen Yan had been slacking off in practice these past days, and he also hadn’t been gossiping with Zhao Ying,

Her affection score had actually dropped by 3 points.

Chen Yan slapped his forehead.

Ah Ying Ying, Xiao Xue Xue has overtaken you, do you know that?

Can’t you put in some effort?

At this rate, I’m really worried about your position.

Even, Chen Yan wondered if Zhao Ying, in her naive understanding of love, was no match for He Mengxue’s proactive nature and if He Mengxue would be the first to reach 200 points...

Thinking about this, Chen Yan exited the interface.

Then... he checked the most important reason he had selected He Mengxue as a Virtual Girlfriend tonight: the Professional Line.

When he opened the Professional Line, He Mengxue’s Professional Line was directly in Chen Yan’s view.

Chen Yan’s heart lightened a bit.

He felt that his plan was probably successful.

Even though it was not quite what he had expected, the outcome was still good.

No. It should be said that the outcome was even better than originally anticipated!

He Mengxue’s Professional Line: Medium-sized enterprise shareholder and manager (Chen’s Investment).

She only had this Professional Line, but it extended forward and was beginning to take shape.

Chen Yan believed that He Mengxue hadn’t lied to him. Her dream should indeed be to manage a company well, and then expand and strengthen the company.

So... theoretically, no matter what industry, what company Chen Yan arranged for her, as long as it was bigger than her original company, her Professional Line would extend.

In other words, He Mengxue on the job was like a universal brick.

Chen Yan could move it wherever he wanted.

If he encountered problems later, he could just arrange for her to manage that company.

Just this one "function," Chen Yan felt that selecting He Mengxue was not a loss!

After all, it was a nuclear weapon-level "ability"!

Thinking that, Chen Yan’s face couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

The most critical piece of the puzzle was put in place, leaving him without any worries.

Be it Zhao Qingtian or Li Qingtian.

With He Mengxue’s limitless "cash machine," Chen Yan was fearless!

While thinking this, Chen Yan exited the Professional Line interface, intending to continue to see if there were any other changes to the system due to this fourth Virtual Girlfriend.

Or perhaps, because of He Mengxue’s tall "initial affection," to give him some kind of reward.

However, before he started to check, he found that the system interface automatically jumped to He Mengxue’s pixelated avatar interface.

At this moment, He Mengxue’s pixelated avatar appeared with a red angry little person icon above her head, looking very unhappy.

And on the screen, she was curled up like a caterpillar, desperately wriggling, trying to break free.

Above her head also displayed her current status, "Urgent need to pee..."

Chen Yan stared at the phone screen for a few seconds.

Then with a "swoosh," he ran towards He Mengxue’s bedroom.

It wasn’t that he felt justified in finding something wrong with He Mengxue, but he remembered they were in a hotel where the maid service came in every day.

If He Mengxue really had to take care of her needs on the spot, from that point on, how would he and He Mengxue face anyone?

It might even spread some strange, praiseworthy commentary...

Arriving at the bedroom, Chen Yan pushed the door open directly.

Seeing Chen Yan enter, He Mengxue was nearly in tears.

On seeing Chen Yan, her voice even held a weep, "Chen, Chen Yan. Please, save me."

Without a word, Chen Yan immediately picked her up from the bed and pulled the blanket down.

Suddenly, He Mengxue, wearing only underwear, was cradled in Chen Yan’s arms.

At this moment, He Mengxue was near madness, clenching her legs tight, clinging to Chen Yan, daring not to move.

Seeing this, Chen Yan didn’t ask further.

He directly carried her to the bathroom, placing her on the toilet, and even thoughtfully spread her legs apart, then he dashed out of the toilet again.

Chen Yan’s entire set of actions was smooth, without wasting a second of time.

When He Mengxue came back to her senses, she found herself inexplicably moved from the bed to the toilet.

Thus, she who had been tense, flustered, shy, and annoyed for half an hour, finally relaxed completely.

At this moment, Chen Yan, standing outside, also wiped the sweat off his face.

This sweat wasn’t from exertion. It was from fear.

He could hardly imagine that if certain things had happened, what a "cruel" blow it would have been to He Mengxue, the pampered lady.

Who knows if because of this, her affection score would nosedive...

After all, the incident was indeed his fault.

When He Mengxue semi-asleep came to hug him, he, in mischief, had rolled her up in the blanket and tied a knot.

Otherwise, He Mengxue wouldn’t have been struggling for thirty minutes unable to free herself.

Just as Chen Yan was pondering this, a suppressed scream suddenly came from the toilet.

It was He Mengxue.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly asked, "Meng Xue, are you alright?"

From inside the bathroom, He Mengxue’s voice came in a rush, "No, no, I’m fine. Chen Yan, don’t come in."

Chen Yan couldn’t figure out what was happening with He Mengxue and was worried about her, so he took out his phone and glanced at the screen.

Upon looking, he couldn’t help but feel a bit flushed...

Half an hour later, He Mengxue emerged wrapped in a bath towel.

Chen Yan coughed and then feigned confusion, "You... took a shower?"

He Mengxue nodded shyly.

She, who was usually bold in front of Chen Yan, was now incredibly coy and "rejecting."

She pushed Chen Yan away, saying, "Alright, you go back and rest. I’m fine, really."

Chen Yan, who already knew what had happened in the bathroom, pretended to be pushed out of the bedroom.

As he left the bedroom, he looked back and said, "Then I’ll go rest, and you should sleep early too."

He Mengxue pouted and nodded, then with a "snap," she closed the bedroom door.

It didn’t end there.

Outside, Chen Yan heard her locking the door in a "click-clack" manner, layer by layer.

Chen Yan shook his head slightly, then walked away from He Mengxue’s door.

After Chen Yan left, He Mengxue went back into the bathroom.

Moments later, the sound of water flowing from the faucet echoed again...

...

After leaving He Mengxue, Chen Yan returned to his room.

He took out the game and checked on He Mengxue’s actions first.

Seeing her washing things, Chen Yan couldn’t help but smile.

Shaking his head, he clicked the[Switch]button, planning to see what Yu Qiao Qiao was up to.

After the switch, Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixel character changed from sitting to lying on the dormitory bed.

But she still had her eyes open, staring at the bed slats, spacing out.

Seeing her like that, Chen Yan felt a pang of pity and then opened WeChat to send her a message.

[Are you asleep? Qiao Qiao.]

[Tonight, I was accompanying a client. Just finished being busy.]

Yu Qiao Qiao seemed to have been waiting for Chen Yan’s reply.

She almost replied instantly,

[Not yet, Chen Yan.]

She said, [I thought... you were angry.]

Chen Yan sent a cat with a laughing face emoji and said,

[Why would I be angry? You are so considerate, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. How could I possibly be angry?]

After replying to the message, Chen Yan opened the game and checked on Yu Qiao Qiao again.

Sure enough, Yu Qiao Qiao’s mood changed from[Yellow]to[Green]. This showed that her mood improved.

Seeing how Yu Qiao Qiao could be happy or unhappy with just a word from him, Chen Yan sighed deeply.

He felt even more pity for this girl.

And so, Chen Yan chatted with Yu Qiao Qiao sporadically for a while.

They talked until after 11 PM. It was then that Chen Yan, using the excuse that Yu Qiao Qiao should sleep, urged her to rest sooner.

And maybe, it was because of the half hour or more they talked, Yu Qiao Qiao felt that Chen Yan really wasn’t angry with her, so she went to bed happily.

After replying to Yu Qiao Qiao’s last message.

Chen Yan opened the game again, idly watching Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixel character zone out.

He just watched as Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixel figure tossed and turned restlessly in bed at first, until gradually, she stilled, ready to sleep, and eventually dozed off.

Watching Yu Qiao Qiao’s pixel character with closed eyes and cartoon-like snot bubbles, Chen Yan felt this was the best his mood had been all day...

...

The next morning, when Chen Yan got up, He Mengxue was gone.

She left a note for Chen Yan and had driven home earlier.

As for why she went home, the note didn’t say.

But Chen Yan guessed.

Those who understood would naturally understand (manually inserts dog head emoji).

However, she didn’t delay going to work and even arrived earlier than Chen Yan, who went after finishing his meal.

Having chosen her as the fourth Virtual Girlfriend, Chen Yan truly regarded her as one of his own.

His attitude towards her was much warmer than before.

Of course, He Mengxue couldn’t know the reason for being a Virtual Girlfriend, thinking it was due to that night’s events.

This caused her to blush whenever she saw Chen Yan.

She lost her usual confidence and hearty demeanor.

...

In the following days, nothing significant happened.

With He Ruifeng’s support, it took no more than two days for the bizarre reports about Chen Yan in Hong Kong to be suppressed.

Then, under He Ruifeng’s arrangement, Chen Yan gave formal interviews to a few media outlets in Hong Kong as a response to the financial incident.

Before the interviews, a temporary public relations team led by Yang Rou was assembled to create a persona for Chen Yan, draft statements, and liaise with the media.

During the interviews, Chen Yan didn’t strictly stick to the script, but rather gave a brief explanation of "his own" reasons for predicting gold trends.

He also modestly said that he was basically just a beginner, a primary school student.

The success he had achieved was all down to luck.

Of course... Some of these explanations were his own insights, and some were copied from "Yang Rou."

After all, he hadn’t prepared as well as "Yang Rou."

The reports went back to Hong Kong and quickly garnered widespread attention.

After all, the Gold Calamity was a massive influence recently.

Both the financial industry and the general populace of Hong Kong were interested in Chen Yan, the only rich man who made money in the Gold Calamity.

When they saw Chen Yan describe himself as just starting out, a primary school student who had achieved success through luck.

The reactions were diverse.

Ordinary people thought he was being modest. He must have real skills.

But the financial industry was split into two different opinions.

One opinion held that Chen Yan was truly being modest.

After all, there was much substance in his judgment explanation.

Some perspectives are indeed often overlooked by the average practitioner.

And for someone to notice these aspects, they must either be a financial genius or an old hand who has been immersed in the finance industry for many years.

Another opinion suggested: Chen Yan definitely has issues! And this success is very likely just luck.

Because, in Chen Yan’s explanation of his reasons for buying gold, the level of his reasoning was entirely inconsistent.

Some sounded like theories only profound experts could articulate.

Others seemed like a beginner’s clumsy attempt.

Based on Chen Yan’s statements, they couldn’t help but suspect that he was just a finance novice who got lucky.

Those reasons were conclusions he had drawn from reading a few books.

In other words, the so-called "beginner’s luck" in myths...

And that his true colors would be revealed after one or two more instances.

These two opinions clashed non-stop within the financial circle, but neither could convince the other.

So, they could only wait for Chen Yan’s next move to see what the outcome would be.

During these days, He Mengxue also took the time to come to Hong Kong and handle some procedures.

Thus, Nightmare Overseas Investment Company was officially established.

As the fourth Virtual Girlfriend, Chen Yan gave her the "proper" treatment and named the new company after both of them.

The name wasn’t "Deep Dream" but "Nightmare" because... this was an overseas investment company after all, and "Deep Dream" didn’t have good connotations.

"Nightmare" wasn’t great either, but paired with Chen Yan’s[Strong Buy Card], saying that this company would be the nightmare for the shares of various overseas companies seemed fine.

After the company was established.

Chen Yan’s plan began to proceed at a breakneck speed.

That day, he used the[Strong Buy Card]on those venture capital firms, intending to forcibly buy the shares of Headline Technology! And to officially possess the veto power over Headline Technology!
