Xavier knew he was only adding to his troubles, so he washed up and went to sleep.
While Xavier was sleeping soundly, Furina, on the other hand, was restless.
Fontaine was very quiet at night, with the bright moonlight illuminating the entire land.
Ms. Furina had already changed out of her elaborate clothes, and now, in her pajamas with her hair down, she sat by the window.
"What an interesting experience~"
She propped her chin on her hands, tilting her head as she looked out the window.
Furina was still savoring this wonderful journey.
A special place, special people, would naturally create special memories.
Although she had only appeared in Xavier's home and didn't know much about Blue Star, she had already fallen in love with this world.
"Xavier, that guy is too annoying; next time, I'll definitely teach him a good lesson!"
Thinking of Xavier, Furina couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Today, he not only pushed her down but also tempted her with instant noodles.
What was even more hateful was that he wouldn't let her play allogene!
Although she was cursing Xavier, Furina herself didn't notice that a smile had already curled at the corner of her lips.
"I really hope tomorrow comes quickly so I can go find Xavier again…"
Furina looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, her eyes full of anticipation.
…
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Early the next morning, Xavier was awakened by the vibration of his phone.
He sat up groggily, rubbing his eyes.
"That's strange, wasn't I already fired? Where did this alarm come from?"
Xavier scratched his messy hair, very puzzled.
That damned unscrupulous boss not only made him work overtime before but also fired him two days ago because he needed a scapegoat!
That hateful unscrupulous capitalist, one day, he… he also wanted to be one!
However, after opening his phone, he immediately sobered up.
"Holy cow, is this for real?"
Xavier was somewhat incredulous, almost thinking he was seeing things.
Because all these messages were notifications of likes and comments from Xiao Po Station.
This made Xavier so happy that he immediately jumped up; it seemed the seeds he had sown had finally borne fruit.
Entering Xiao Po Station, Xavier found that the video's views had already reached 5 million!
The likes had also surpassed one million, and the comment section was bustling with activity.
"Ahhh, Furina, my Furina, my treasure!"
"Ms. Furina, I have always admired you, so… will you marry me?"
"Help, that blink is too cute, I'm hard!"
"No, I really don't understand why you OPs are so obsessed with the virtual world; next week is my wedding with Furina, remember to attend…"
Xavier remained silent, looking at these hilarious comments.
Although he was mentally prepared, their fanaticism still startled Xavier.
Besides the usual antics of netizens, more comments focused on the accuracy of Furina's portrayal.
"Holy cow, this Furina is too accurate; I almost thought it was a CG at first glance."
"+1, not only does she look exactly the same, but her expressions and movements are also identical. What kind of divine UP is this?"
"Wait, aren't you curious how my wife summoned these three followers?"
"Damn it, are you stupid upstairs? It must be Crafting or an item! Also, what do you mean your wife? That's my wife!"
"Less talk, I'm going to hit the triple like and follow button first, waiting for the streamer's next update!"
Seeing this, Xavier chuckled; perhaps they never imagined that those three little guys were summoned.
This was actually quite normal because most people wouldn't even consider that possibility.
After reading the comments, Xavier went to his homepage.
Fans: 187,000
Xavier was stunned; he didn't expect that just a short video would gain him over a hundred thousand followers.
He knew that Furina had immense popularity and a huge fanbase, but wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
One must know that Furina only casually said a few words in this video; there was no real content.
Perhaps after this video appeared, it would infuriate a large number of diligent UPs…
But there was nothing he could do; who told him he invited the real deal?
Comparing himself to others would only make him angry.
Xavier showed another sly smile, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through 1000 popularity, the System has been upgraded to Level 2!"
"Ding! The System Lottery function and System Shop have been opened; please check them yourself, Host!"
Xavier's eyes lit up; he didn't expect a single video to make him upgrade.
It seems the difficulty of System upgrades isn't too high!
Other World Encounter System
Host: Xavier
System Level: 2
Popularity: 1090 / 10000
Invited Characters: Furina
Ability: Water Element Control
Xavier, who was initially joyful, immediately pulled a long face; what a slap in the face.
Upgrading from Level 1 to Level 2 only required 1000 popularity, but upgrading from Level 2 to Level 3 increased tenfold!
He thought he could upgrade to the next level by making two more videos, but now it seemed it wouldn't be that simple.
Xavier couldn't help but ask, "System, how is popularity calculated?"
"Answering the Host, popularity is calculated comprehensively, and there is no single standard for evaluation!"
Xavier's face darkened; wasn't that just stating the obvious?
He suddenly remembered that the System had just prompted the opening of the lottery function and the shop, so he eagerly clicked to check them out.
The System Shop contained a dazzling array of items and many diverse things.
Even rmb could be exchanged; 100 popularity points could be exchanged for 100,000 rmb.
This made Xavier incredibly greedy.
Do you know how much temptation 100,000 rmb holds for a grown man who can't even pay his rent?
However, Xavier still suppressed the urge to exchange and checked the lottery function.
"Lottery Function: Consume 1000 popularity points to perform a 10-pull (a guaranteed purple quality prize every ten pulls)"
Xavier frowned slightly; something wasn't right.
The System only said that every ten pulls would guarantee a purple quality prize, but it didn't mention whether there was a guarantee for gold.
If it didn't say, then there wasn't!
This system was even more unscrupulous than MiHoYo!
But as the saying goes, if you take a gamble, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle.
He gritted his teeth and took the gamble!
Ten-pull, activate!
What he didn't expect was a scene extremely similar to allogene's gacha appearing before his eyes.
"Ding! rmb 100,000 * 1"
"Ding! rmb 100,000 * 1"
…
The next nine prompts were all the same, meaning Xavier had now obtained 900,000 rmb.
Although it sounded good, what was the difference from direct exchange, seriously!
However, the final purple light finally did not disappoint Xavier.
"Ding! Purple Gold Cloud Top Detached Villa * 1"
"Hahahahaha!"
Looking at the key and property deed that appeared in his hand, Xavier almost let out a pig-like snort of laughter.
For no other reason than that Purple Gold Cloud Top was the top-tier villa community in Jiangcheng, bar none!
Even as a bottom-tier office worker, Xavier had heard of its name.
To say it was an inch of land worth an inch of gold was no exaggeration at all.
Good, this was truly good.
He was originally worried about what to do if too many people were invited, but now it seemed he didn't need to worry.
"Knock knock knock!"
But just then, there was a knock on the door.
