The corners of Ye Chen's mouth lifted slightly, and he snapped his fingers.
His bodyguard immediately handed him a Black Card.
"I, Ye Chen, don't make a habit of using Alipay."
"Besides, it's only two hundred thousand. Hardly much money."
Tong Jingcheng frowned slightly, let go of Qin Feng's hand, and whispered:
"Everyone can bullshit. It's how you flex that separates the pros from the amateurs."
Qin Feng laughed. "He's Jiangning University's number one king of flexing. That's no exaggeration!"
Tong Jingcheng gave him an appraising look.
Although he was an internet celebrity known as the "Ancestor of Fuckboys," fans who knew him well knew that Tong Jingcheng actually had pretty sound values.
The way Ye Chen had spoken just now made him look like some street thug.
He was dragging down men's class.
Tong Jingcheng stood up and took Psyduck over to the Drawing Machine to watch the show.
Changpu accepted the Black Card and inserted it straight into the POS Terminal.
Then she pressed the draw button.
The images on the screen began cycling.
Neither Ye Chen's gaze nor his expression showed any change.
He had come here to buy a Pokémon today because he had watched that video, too.
Since both those stunning beauties liked these little creatures...
With the way Ye Chen always did things, he naturally had to cater to their tastes.
Spending money wasn't important. Winning a beauty's heart was.
After all, even a poor guy like Qin Feng could win the beauties' favor with Pokémon.
Why couldn't he, Ye Chen?
A moment later...
The screen stopped.
Qin Feng was still puzzled.
The Drawing Machine claimed the draws were random, with every Basic Pokémon having the same odds.
Yet for some reason, whenever these rich people stepped up to the Drawing Machine, not one of them managed to draw a Pokémon they liked without trouble.
Ye Chen was no exception.
His first draw.
[Stunfisk]
Even Qin Feng was speechless.
Not just ugly, but fucking useless, too!
Strangely, Changpu breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
"Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with this Stunfisk?"
"If you aren't, another draw will cost two hundred thousand!"
Qin Feng could only marvel at her skill.
The fragrance of sweet, calculated manipulation instantly filled the entire Pokémon Home.
Before Ye Chen could speak, Tong Jingcheng, who was watching from the sidelines, stroked Psyduck's little head and laughed.
"I wouldn't take an ugly fish like that even for free. That thing... there's no way you're picking up girls with it."
"Isn't that right, Psyduck?"
Psyduck glanced at Pikachu beside him, and the two adorable creatures nodded in unison, as though they understood perfectly.
"Pika-chu~"
"Psyduck!"
(⊙▽⊙)
Ye Chen snorted. "Naturally, something of this caliber doesn't interest me. Keep drawing until I'm satisfied!"
Changpu gave him a charming, professional smile and nodded emphatically. "Of course, Mr. Ye. We'll keep drawing until you're satisfied!"
The images on the screen began cycling again.
The screen stopped.
[Gloom]
Qin Feng rubbed his forehead!
It wasn't that he felt sorry for Ye Chen.
He was simply becoming increasingly certain of his suspicion: the system really did have a function for judging people's character.
Both Pokémon Ye Chen had drawn ranked among the ugliest in the world of Qin Feng's previous life.
If anyone claimed this wasn't rigged against him, Qin Feng wouldn't believe it for a second.
Ye Chen raised his hand. "Keep going!"
It was only four hundred thousand. Young Master Ye wasn't feeling any pressure at all.
Seeing Ye Chen get carried away, Tong Jingcheng grew even more interested.
He even forgot all about the beauties.
Just then, Qin Feng's phone rang.
Bai Xiyue: "How's it going, Boss Qin? Get anything good today?"
Qin Feng secretly stepped aside, raised his phone, and took a photo to send to the group chat.
Bai Xiyue: "Holy shit, isn't that the big... why's he there, too?"
Qin Feng: "Why else? He saw that you beauties liked Pokémon, so he's catering to your tastes!"
Bai Xiyue sent a disgusted emoji.
"He thinks he's worthy? Pah!"
"By the way, why isn't Xiaoyu saying anything today?"
Bai Xiyue's reminder made Qin Feng notice the problem, too.
It wasn't class time right now. Shouldn't Jiang Xiaoyu have been chatting away?
He even specifically tagged Jiang Xiaoyu.
There was still no response.
Bai Xiyue: "Hey! The guy next to that duck looks really familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere."
Qin Feng: "An internet celebrity. His name's Tong Jingcheng."
When she saw Qin Feng's message...
Unexpectedly!
Bai Xiyue immediately fired back two words.
"Fucking player!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly. You're so indignant. He didn't play you, did he?
"Uh... is there some story here that you can't talk about?"
He phrased his question tactfully because Bai Xiyue had a rather fiery temper. Say the wrong thing, and she might come straight over to beat him up.
According to Jiang Xiaoyu, Bai Xiyue could wipe the floor with the national sanda champion.
Qin Feng didn't know whether that was true, nor did he want to find out. After all, getting hit really hurt.
He also had no idea how these two beauties managed to get along without any friction.
They had actually reached the point where they could talk about anything.
(︶︿︶)
Bai Xiyue sent an eye-roll emoji. "He doesn't have what it takes!"
A little over two hours passed at an unhurried pace.
Changpu, who had been brimming with energy earlier...
Was now leaning against the Drawing Machine, propping her little head up with one hand.
Qin Feng had joined in the fun a few times during that period, too.
After all, they were romantic rivals, and a little verbal therapy worked wonders.
He had even forced Ye Chen to give up the Growlithe he had finally managed to draw.
Qin Feng's exact words, delivered with a mocking undertone, were, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's a good dog, sure, but it doesn't look much different from an ordinary one."
With Tong Jingcheng, Changpu, Egg Yolk, and the two Pokémon backing him up...
Ye Chen clenched his back teeth and said, "I didn't want it anyway. Keep drawing!"
By then, Qin Feng's spending had successfully surpassed Bai Xiyue's, making him the Pokémon Home's top spender.
But Qin Feng didn't seem inclined to let him off.
He tagged both beauties, Bai Xiyue and Jiang Xiaoyu, in the group chat and invited them over to watch the show.
He believed that, with the beauties watching...
Ye Chen might just single-handedly max out his sales target.
Bai Xiyue loved joining in the fun, too, and immediately agreed.
But Jiang Xiaoyu still hadn't replied.
That gave Qin Feng a bad feeling.
From their interactions over the past two days, Jiang Xiaoyu was anything but cold and aloof. She would definitely reply if she saw a message.
If she still didn't show up, he would have to ask Bai Xiyue to go looking for her with him later.
Before long, the roar of an engine echoed along Academy Road.
Bai Xiyue arrived in a rush.
The instant she walked through the door, everyone turned to look.
Tong Jingcheng's eyes practically popped out. ╲(｡◕‿◕｡)╱
Ye Chen had met Bai Xiyue before. Although he still didn't know her background, his fanatical passion for beautiful women was written all over his eyes.
Today, Bai Xiyue had changed into casual sportswear.
A slender waist and long, straight legs.
Gone was her previous mature, sophisticated look; now she radiated youthful energy.
