Chapter 54: My Mind Explodes! The Goddess's Purity is Gone?
[Location: Modu University - Male Dormitory]
"Jiang Linlin has a boyfriend... so she's not pure anymore??"
When Qi Fan heard the words from Jiang Linlin's live stream, it felt like a physical blow. He sat frozen in his cheap gaming chair, his face pale and slack. The vibrant colors of the live stream seemed to dull, the cheerful music grating on his nerves.
He was struck by lightning. His expression completely shattered, the confident smirk replaced by a hollow stare of disbelief.
Although his favorite was the charming little enchantress Liu Mi, he also really liked Jiang Linlin. Her pure, delicate beauty was like a breath of fresh air in a world of plastic surgery and heavy makeup. She was the "White Moonlight" in his heart—untouchable, pristine, and holy.
Or rather, as long as it was a beautiful woman, Qi Fan liked them all. His System encouraged this greed, rewarding him for chasing every skirt that caught his eye.
Moreover, Liu Mi and Jiang Linlin, the two great school beauties, were best friends and lived in the same dormitory. This was the ultimate fantasy of countless male students at Modu University, and also Qi Fan's dream. The thought of conquering both, of entering that sacred dorm room as the master, had fueled his nights.
But now, Jiang Linlin actually already had a man?
"No! Impossible! I frequently follow Liu Mi and Jiang Linlin's social media, how could I not know she has a boyfriend?" Qi Fan muttered, his voice trembling. He frantically scrolled through forums and fan pages, looking for any sign, any rumor he might have missed.
"It must be a lie! It must be an excuse to reject me!"
"Jiang Linlin is so pure, she's never even been seen holding hands with a boy. It's impossible for her to have a man!"
A twisted logic formed in his mind. She was rejecting him because he hadn't shown enough power. One hundred Carnivals was a lot, but maybe not enough to move a girl in desperate need.
"If one hundred Carnivals aren't enough, I'll drop five hundred Carnivals! Jiang Linlin comes from a poor family and has a seriously ill grandmother. She needs money for medical bills. She'll definitely accept!"
"Not accepting is just because there isn't enough money! Everyone has a price!"
As Qi Fan thought of this, his eyes lit up with a feverish intensity. He unleashed the hand speed of someone single for twenty-one years, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
"Ordinary, Not Ordinary sent out Carnival x 1!"
"Ordinary, Not Ordinary sent out Carnival x 1!"
…
The fans and viewers in the live stream, who were frantically trying to win Jiang Linlin back with pleas and small gifts, were stunned into silence. The screen was flooded with the golden, dazzling animation of Carnivals, drowning out everything else.
"Oh my god, one, two, ten, a hundred, two hundred, five hundred Carnivals... my heavens!"
"Ordinary, Not Ordinary is awesome, incredible!"
"Boss 666, what a god of wealth!"
"Hiss… five hundred Carnivals, that's one hundred and fifty thousand yuan! Plus the previous one hundred, that's one hundred and eighty thousand! Does the big boss need a leg pendant?"
"…"
At this moment, the live stream exploded directly from the five hundred Carnivals being dropped. Bullet comments flew so fast they were unreadable. The hype train reached levels never seen in this small stream before.
Qi Fan sat back, panting slightly, a smug and spirited grin returning to his face. He looked at the pure, delicate, and stunningly beautiful Jiang Linlin in the live stream, his gaze burning with possessiveness.
"Six hundred Carnivals in total. One hundred and eighty thousand yuan. Jiang Linlin, can I still not win you over?"
Thinking of this, Qi Fan immediately sent a bullet comment, bold and demanding, highlighted by his VIP status.
"Linlin, let's have a meal offline. If you agree, I'll send another five hundred Carnivals!"
At this moment, the many viewers in the live stream were all stunned by Qi Fan's generosity. This was a direct transaction proposal. A date for money.
Qi Fan's private messages were instantly flooded by countless female streamers and even male streamers, begging for his attention, calling him "Daddy" and "Husband."
However, Qi Fan didn't even glance at them. They were all filter-obsessed, face-swapping freaks. How could they compare to the truly top-tier goddess Jiang Linlin?
He waited for her answer, confident in his victory.
However, Jiang Linlin's reaction was not what he expected. Her pretty eyebrows furrowed in anger. She looked directly at the camera, her voice blunt and impolite.
"Ordinary, Not Ordinary, I said, no more gifts. The six hundred Carnivals, the platform's share to me, I will refund all of it to you!"
"I don't welcome you!"
After speaking, Jiang Linlin's fingers moved swiftly.
[System Notification: You have been blocked by the Host.]
Qi Fan stared at the screen, his mouth agape.
Inviting her to eat offline—did Jiang Linlin not know what the implied purpose was? It was the unspoken rule of the industry! Big tips meant big rewards!
Even before, she wouldn't have agreed; her integrity was why her live stream had remained lukewarm despite her beauty. Now, after following Shen Anyu, she lacked nothing. Money was just a number to her now.
Seeing Jiang Linlin directly blacklist "Ordinary, Not Ordinary," this god of wealth who had dropped six hundred Carnivals in total, the fans in the live stream exploded.
"666! It has to be Linlin! Even the boss who dropped six hundred Carnivals got kicked out directly!"
"Awesome! One word, awesome! Good heavens, Linlin really treats money like dirt!"
"Oh my, there really are girls like Linlin who don't care about money. I know Linlin's family situation isn't good, yet she still refused!"
"Linlin, you're confused! That's one hundred and eighty thousand! Even with the split, she could get nearly a million if he continued, but Linlin actually refused!"
"Go, go, go! If she didn't refuse, was she supposed to go offline to 'send warmth'? Our Linlin isn't that kind of girl!"
"…"
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's mentality shattered! Plundering +9,999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan's defense broke directly! Plundering +9,999 Destiny Value!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan doubted life! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Value!]
…
At this moment, Qi Fan, who had been blacklisted, was completely dumbfounded. He sat in his chair, feeling like a clown.
He had dropped six hundred Carnivals. One hundred and eighty thousand yuan. And yet Jiang Linlin had directly blacklisted him, saying she would refund the money and didn't welcome him???
Could it be that money was no longer useful in this world? Was his System broken?
"No! Impossible! How could money be useless?"
Qi Fan shook his head repeatedly, his face flushing with humiliation and rage. He tried to rationalize it.
"She must have a rich boyfriend. Someone who spent more than one hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Hmph! Jiang Linlin, this little white flower with a pure appearance, definitely isn't that pure! She's probably playing hard to get, or she's already been bought by someone richer!"
"Since she has a boyfriend, I, Qi Fan, don't care for her! I don't want second-hand goods!"
"I'll go directly after Liu Mi!"
Qi Fan chuckled, a dark look in his eyes. He had already thought of how to pursue Liu Mi.
Liu Mi was notoriously picky, loved to shop, and bought all sorts of luxury goods. She was materialistic, open about her desires. He didn't believe he couldn't win her over with his infinite cashback loop.
"She will be mine. She was my moonlight and obsession, and I will absolutely not let go!"
[Location: Five-Star Hotel Suite]
Shen Anyu watched the screen go black, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He found it amusing to see Jiang Linlin directly blacklist Qi Fan, bid farewell to her old viewers, and announce that she would no longer stream.
Originally, he had planned to intervene and deal with Qi Fan personally, perhaps by exposing his location or hacking his accounts. But Jiang Linlin had unexpectedly handled it herself, directly kicking Qi Fan out with such disdain.
"Well done," Shen Anyu murmured.
However, it didn't matter. He could deal with Qi Fan later. Currently, Qi Fan was a weakling, the weakest of the weak, easily crushed like a bug.
It was just that this System-based Child of Destiny... he couldn't let him grow.
Otherwise, once Qi Fan grew up and accumulated trillions, he would be much more terrifying than Han Qi, Wei Yun, or Xia Liu. Money could buy armies, influence nations, and perhaps even purchase cultivation resources. Even Ye Yan, who came down from the mountains as a master, might not be able to compare to the sheer weight of infinite wealth.
Jiang Linlin turned away from the computer, her face still flushed. She walked over to Shen Anyu, her eyes shining with devotion.
"Brother Shen... did I do well?"
Shen Anyu smiled warmly. "Very well."
"Linlin, open your mouth."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Linlin looked at the smile on Shen Anyu's face and immediately blushed. Her heart raced, but she obediently opened her mouth, closing her eyes slightly.
Shen Anyu flicked his finger, and a crystalline, jade-like Medicinal Pill fell into Jiang Linlin's mouth. It melted instantly, turning into a sweet nectar that slid down her throat.
Jiang Linlin immediately felt a warm sensation spread throughout her body, starting from her stomach and reaching every limb. Then, a cool, refreshing feeling followed, like a gentle breeze cleansing her skin.
She opened her eyes, surprised. "Brother Shen, what did you give me to eat? It felt... amazing."
Shen Anyu smiled and pointed to the full-length mirror beside them. "Look in the mirror, and you'll know."
Jiang Linlin was puzzled, but she walked over to the mirror. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.
In the mirror, Jiang Linlin's already excellent skin was now glowing with a pearlescent sheen. It was as smooth and tender as a peeled boiled egg, delicate as the finest jade. Her pores had vanished, and her complexion was flawless.
Her exquisite face had an improvement visible to the naked eye. Her willow-leaf eyebrows were more defined, her cherry lips redder and fuller. Her eyes seemed brighter, sparkling with vitality.
It was as if she had been enlightened, shining brightly from within. She was as beautiful as a Fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
"Brother Shen, this..." Jiang Linlin touched her cheek, disbelief in her eyes. "What magic is this?"
Shen Anyu smiled slightly. "Dingyan Pill."
He was also a little surprised in his heart. He hadn't expected the Dingyan Pill to have such an immediate cosmetic effect; it not only preserved youth for a hundred years but also greatly enhanced beauty, purging impurities from the body.
Jiang Linlin's current beauty was devastating. If she were to go out now, she would probably cause traffic accidents.
"Dingyan Pill? It must be something very good... precious." Jiang Linlin turned back to him, her eyes curved into crescent moons, feeling sweet in her heart. Although she didn't know exactly what this Dingyan Pill was or its value, its effect was so obvious that it must be an extraordinary treasure. And he gave it to her without hesitation.
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
Shen Anyu raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiang Linlin with a half-smile. He sat on the edge of the bed, patting his lap.
"This kind of verbal thanks won't do."
"I'll teach you how to thank me properly!"
Jiang Linlin blushed crimson, but she walked towards him with shy steps...
[Location: Outside the Detention Center - Night]
While Shen Anyu was "teaching" Jiang Linlin, a shadow moved in the darkness outside the city prison.
A dog hole, barely large enough for a human, was pushed open from the inside.
A young man with a lewd face crawled out, covered in dirt and grime. He stood up, dusting himself off, a triumphant, almost manic smile on his face.
"Hahaha! It's truly me, the Divine Doctor Xia Liu!"
He took a deep breath of the free air, ignoring the stench of the sewer he had just traversed.
"That big Silly Wu Gui... didn't he still fall for my poison? No one can trap the Medical Saint!"
"What detention center can hold me? I am destined for greatness!"
He looked towards the city lights of Modu, his eyes burning with obsession.
"I'm out of prison! Ningbing, my wife! I, Xia Liu, am here to save you from whatever bastard has deceived you!"
