As everyone knew, highly skilled female gaming companions were the rarest resource in the companion gaming industry.
The comments below the page were also very positive. Everyone said the young lady's skills were unbeatable and that she could reliably carry the team. Other than being a tiny bit aloof and never calling clients "boss," she maintained only the most basic polite communication.
All things considered, the price was reasonable.
Su Bai did not mind.
As long as her voice sounded nice and she could carry him, that was all Su Bai needed. His ultimate goal was to spend recklessly and make money.
Yu Xie happened to be online, so Su Bai clicked into a private chat and opened with a very mysterious question:
Crispy Big White Goose: Hello, can your gaming companion service be booked by the month?
Yu Xie: ?
Crispy Big White Goose: Here's the thing, I'm looking for a long-term, stable gaming companion. I need someone with a nice voice who can carry me, and your profile completely meets my requirements.
Yu Xie: Oh.
Yu Xie: Specific details?
Crispy Big White Goose: Monthly billing, no more than two hours a day. The exact gaming time can be discussed.
Yu Xie: Sure.
Done!
Su Bai smiled faintly.
Before messaging Yu Xie, he had looked into her order history.
An average of two hours a day should not be a problem for her.
At 200 yuan an hour, two hours a day came to 400 yuan. That was 12,000 yuan a month.
Crispy Big White Goose: [Transfer]
Yu Xie: ?
Yu Xie: What is this?
Crispy Big White Goose: Payment for the next month.
Yu Xie: Shouldn't we try it out first...
Crispy Big White Goose: No need. I trust you.
Yu Xie: I should carry you through one match first. What if you don't like it?
Yu Xie: It's quite a large sum of money. You should be careful.
Crispy Big White Goose: I'll like it, don't worry. No matter what, I won't ask for a refund. This little bit of money is nothing to me.
Yu Xie: Oh.
Yu Xie: [Accept Transfer]
At the same time, Su Bai's system reacted.
Ding! Detected that the host had booked a beautiful female gaming companion for the month. Spent 12,000 yuan, triggering triple cashback. Reward: +36,000 yuan!
After deducting the payment cost, that meant he had made 24,000 yuan from this round.
Su Bai happily logged into the game and added Yu Xie as an in-game friend.
They opened voice chat through the gaming companion app.
"Hello."
Her cool, mature female voice was exactly the same as on her companion profile page.
"Hello. Let's start ranked," Su Bai said.
"Mm."
She really was cold enough...
It was fine, as long as she could carry him.
That icy little voice was actually rather thrilling to listen to, Su Bai thought.
Then they entered the ranked queue.
And discovered a very awkward problem.
Yu Xie's game account was Platinum II.
According to the rules, in solo or duo ranked, Silver-ranked players could team up with players ranked Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Platinum was one tier above Gold, which meant...
Yu Xie's account was obviously already a smurf used for gaming companion work.
Yet she still could not queue for ranked with Su Bai.
Damn it, could this world get any worse?!
Silver players had lives too!
Perhaps because the situation was too awkward, voice chat fell silent.
More than ten seconds later, Yu Xie suddenly said, "I just remembered that I have another Gold smurf. Wait a moment, I'll switch accounts."
"...Go ahead."
Two minutes later, Su Bai added her Gold smurf.
"We can queue together on this one. I didn't realize your rank was that low before."
"Ahahaha!"
"...Sorry, did that upset you? I'm not very good at talking. If I offended you, just curse me out."
"It's fine. I have a good mentality."
"Oh."
A silent smile curled Su Bai's lips.
This young lady seemed to be more than just aloof. Deep down, she was a little adorably airheaded too.
However, once they entered the game, Yu Xie no longer seemed airheaded at all.
She picked Nidalee for the jungle, a classic low-rank stomping champion.
Ganking, invading the enemy jungle, controlling the map.
One carrying four, she pinned the opposing team down and slaughtered them.
Su Bai felt like he had barely done anything before they won.
Tsk tsk, zero gameplay experience. One-star review! (doge)
Please give me more easy wins like this!
Over the next two hours, Yu Xie led Crispy Big White Goose on an unstoppable winning streak.
There had actually been only five minutes left before the two-hour limit when they started the final match, but Yu Xie still finished it. Her professional ethics were truly impeccable.
Overall, Su Bai's experience had been excellent. Although Yu Xie's voice was flat and completely lacked the suggestive flirting tactics common among female gaming companions, her voice was pleasant enough to make one feel refreshed.
Combined with her exceptionally rare strength among female gaming companions, she was well worth the price overall.
"Time's up." After the final match ended, Yu Xie reminded him.
"Alright. I had a great time today. Let's continue tomorrow. I'll contact you then."
"Mm."
"Let's add each other on WeChat. It'll be easier to get in touch."
"...I don't add clients on WeChat."
"But I'm a long-term client. It'll be more convenient if we add each other. I can transfer money to you directly through WeChat in the future and save you the platform commission."
After hesitating for a moment, perhaps tempted by the prospect of saving transaction fees and influenced by Su Bai's qualities as a premium client, she ultimately agreed to add him on WeChat.
Yu Xie's WeChat avatar was an anime girl with purple hair. She looked cool and aloof yet a little airheaded, much like the personality conveyed by her voice.
Su Bai's was much simpler: a stick-figure Big White Goose meme.
Without prior discussion, both of them checked the other's Moments.
Emmmm...
Both were just a single horizontal line.
The classic "visible only for the past three days."
Neither was the type to post updates often.
At Jiangcheng University, in a girls' dormitory room.
Chen Yusheng took off her headphones and closed her laptop.
Her shapely long legs, wrapped in black stockings, gave off an enticing sheen.
