Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Supporting Female Lead Couldn’t Care Less - Chapter 214
What would someone do after becoming rich overnight?
Yu Hui could serve as an answer to this question.
To Yu Guang, 700,000 yuan wasn’t much, but to Yu Hui, it was a fortune.
Especially so when he realised that the company was still making money and his 1% share would continue to grow.
Having been hit by such a huge fortune, Yu Hui entered a manic state.
In the first couple of days, Yu Hui was so overwhelmed that he would agonise over which foot to put forward when leaving the apartment. After getting past the initial phase of figuring out how wealthy people should walk, he started to worry about encountering bad people. It even changed how he looked at everyone.
Seeing Yu Hui acting nervously every time he went out and came back, as if afraid someone was following him, 08 couldn’t help but whisper to Yu Guang, “Host, the task target’s behaviour is really over the top! It’s embarrassing to watch.”
When its host went downstairs for a walk yesterday, she had overheard some old women muttering about how Yu Hui must have a screw or two loose in his brain.
Yu Guang looked at Yu Hui, who was busy cooking in the kitchen. She smiled at 08 and said, When someone who’s grown up in hardship suddenly falls into a honey jar, they naturally do things to prove that what they’re experiencing isn’t a dream.”
That way, when they lose it, they could tell themselves that it was fine because they were at least happy for a while…
Moreover, Yu Hui had been frugal for so long that he couldn’t suddenly indulge in lavish spending. His odd behaviour was actually quite normal. After all, he was someone who would haggle over a few cents at the market for a couple of scallions.
As she thought this, she saw Yu Hui in the kitchen, dipping slices of raw beef into mustard and soy sauce and stuffing them into his mouth.
08’s voice instantly disappeared. What exactly was wrong with him? Why did he like eating like that?
The taste of raw meat didn’t seem pleasant. Yu Hui’s face immediately turned grim, and he instinctively wanted to spit it out. However, after thinking about the cost of the beef, he forced himself to swallow it.
After rinsing his mouth with a glass of water, Yu Hui’s face contorted, but he blushed when he saw Yu Guang’s gaze. “I heard rich people eat it like this. Apparently, the meat tastes more fresh and tender this way.”
He had heard from the neighbours that Third Uncle liked eating his meat this way.
Looking at the slices of beef rib Yu Hui had cut, Yu Guang smiled and nodded. “Go on, then. Remember to stir-fry my portion with red chilli peppers!”
She wasn’t aware that wealthy people had such a habit.
Yu Hui responded with an ‘okay’ and stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth. “You don’t understand, this thing… ugh!”
Yu Guang turned her head back to the screen, not wanting to see Yu Hui’s miserable expression. Eating something like this would, of course, only lead to vomiting.
By evening, Yu Hui had managed to finish cooking dinner for Yu Guang and then collapsed on the sofa with a pale face. He couldn’t count how many times he had been to the bathroom, but he was certain of one thing: being wealthy wasn’t all it was cracked up to be!
While Yu Hui was struggling to enjoy his newly rich life, another minigame had quietly replaced ‘Angry Bun,’ which had been a sensation throughout the internet. The name of this new minigame was ‘Invincible Test Test Test.’
It emerged thanks to the advertising push from the ‘Angry Bun’ minigame.
Just by clicking on the Invincible Test Test Test ad, they could get special tools.
It seemed like the creator of the minigames was paving the way for Invincible Test Test Test at the expense of Angry Bun. Compared to the tension of Angry Bun, Invincible Test Test Test feels somewhat quiet.
The minigame was very simple. First, one needed to enter their own birthday and birth time, as well as their partner’s, and the words that their partner would say in several specific scenarios.
After that, an NPC called ‘Xiao Huihui’ would appear in the minigame and provide the players with several options.
For example, at a specific time, based on Xiao Huihui’s suggestions, the player could call their partner and ask questions related to daily life. Xiao Huihui would then tell the player what the person on the other end of the line was doing based on their responses.
The only issue with this app was the fact that it was loaded with ads. What could be done in two minutes ended up taking much longer because of the constant advertisements. Still, there were always people eager to jump on the bandwagon of anything, and they started experimenting with the app.
And it worked…
Some users began sharing screenshots online showing their partners’ activities. When the app displayed that their partner was working hard, it showed a CG image of Yu Guang with the message: ‘You’re not as diligent as them!’
When their partner was eating, Yu Guang would smile and say, ‘It’s clear you’re both working hard.’
When the partner was playing games, Yu Guang would push up her glasses and say, ‘You both need to work hard together!’
And when the partner was cheating, Yu Guang would appear in a black suit, saying, ‘It’s time to act!’
The questions provided by the system were all related to daily life, making it a formidable tool for detecting infidelity.
Initially, people thought it was just a fun app to use. They jokingly inputted their partner’s responses into the app just to test how accurate it was.
However, when they discovered its real purpose as a tool for detecting unfaithfulness, the app became a hit.
The app was the best way to test whether their partner was faithful to them or not.
‘Invincible Test Test Test’ went viral merely a week after it launched. By the third week after its launch, though, it was reported and removed from the internet.
The reason was that the game was found to violate user privacy, leading to its indefinite suspension by the authorities.
Yu Guang, the spokesperson, ended up being blacklisted even more. But that didn’t matter.
She had invested very little in the app and had already earned a significant amount from advertisements.
The timing had been just right.
After checking the balance in the account, Yu Guang called Yu Hui who was about to go out to buy groceries. She said, “I need to go discuss business. Come with me.”
Yu Hui agreed and, while heading downstairs, reminded Yu Guang, “It’s been really strict lately. If you see traffic police, make sure to speed up.”
Yu Guang smiled helplessly. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to buy a car? Why are you still riding an electric bike?”
The weather was good today. The sunshine also made it just right for a walk.
Yu Hui responded confidently, “Our neighbourhood has everything. We hardly ever leave, so what’s the point of buying a car? It’s an extra expense with insurance and fuel. Even if we have money, we shouldn’t waste it.”
Yu Guang adjusted her glasses. “We can use the company’s funds for those.”
Hearing this, Yu Hui immediately tossed his electric bike key into the trash can. “Let’s go buy a car, the best one.”
His sister had explained before that, aside from the annual dividends and monthly salary, the company’s money should be reinvested and did not belong to anyone personally. Therefore, spending the company’s money was like spending someone else’s money.
Since it was other people’s money, why should he be reluctant to spend it?
Seeing Yu Hui’s reaction, Yu Guang’s smile grew even more gentle. “How do you think we should get to the car dealership? The closest one is 8 kilometres away, and if we take a taxi…”
Before she could finish, Yu Hui had already started rummaging through the trash can next to him. “Forget taxis! We’re not that rich!”
Why was it that important things were always said last?
In the early morning, the scene of a young man rummaging through a trash can was quite eye-catching. Noticing the odd looks from passersby, Yu Guang smiled calmly and told the passersby, “My brother is hungry.”
