Chapter 199 - 4.25

If this was called the fate's hand, then he wanted to slap himself with the hand to get some tries at grasping fate with her.

Though he was distraught with the sudden influx of his own emotions, he carefully tucked it all back into his heart and typed some more in the chat.

In the end, without realizing it, he had gotten accustomed to talking with this woman through the chat box. Although it was a bit of a shame that he couldn't meet her directly, that was a plan for another time. For now, all he could do was grab onto her this way.

As time passed, he found that his mind was slowly becoming much more peaceful. It was like Xu Jiaqi had a special touch to everything she did, making his mind clear up from the previous cloudy atmosphere he had due to his sickness.

It was a moving sensation. For him to finally recover like this, although the cure came in such an unexpected way that he would've never guessed that this would happen.

When Xu Jiaqi began her ending ritual with a candle, without thinking much, he whipped out his virtual banking numbers and sent Xu Jiaqi gifts..

The King Wants to Rest gave you Sweet Flowers x500!

The King Wants to Rest: Some flowers as thanks for today. I enjoyed my stay.

Towards the end, he suddenly dropped a huge 'virtual bouquet'. One flower was akin to one dollar, so five hundred flowers naturally came out to be five hundred dollars.

Xu Jiaqi's eyes flared up for a bit, but she didn't become shocked.

Big Brother is Angry!: Woah! Brother King, you turned out to be an oil lord as well? Damn, two oil lords are in close proximity with me! What is this sorcery? Is the world trying to make fun of poor little me??

"..The gifts were unnecessary, but I'll accept it." Xu Jiaqi smiled. "If you enjoyed today's talks, then you should come back tomorrow. I don't have anything to do, honestly. Except for earning money and now.. streaming."

Although, the one who was actively earning money was System.

Let's not say that to them!

"It was enjoyable for me too, I suppose. Brother Angry, I haven't donated anything to you today, what do you want? I'll buy you something just because." Xu Jiaqi ran her fingers through her soft hair as she took off her hair piece and revealed a more disheveled version of her.

Big Brother is Angry!: Uhh.. I don't really have anything that I want... Besidess~ Don't think that I'm only here for the chance of getting money! I'm not that pitiful! I'm not a bastard!

Big Brother is Angry!: I'm sorry for my words on the first day, but the reason I'm here today is not because of the money, but rather because.. you're really impressive!

Big Brother is Angry!: You gained an admirer lololol

"..Is that so?" Xu Jiaqi laughed and narrowed her eyes. "That's.. good. Really good."

Xu Jiaqi lit up a candle and held it within her hands, the flickering light making her eyes shimmer more than ever.

"Anyway, today's stream will be ending, just like what I've said before. Brother Angry, Brother King, it was nice to talk with you. Then, see you next time.. Goodbye."

She blew out a candle, letting the screen fade to black and end the stream for good.

Xu Jiaqi leaned backwards against the chair, then suddenly stood up to let herself fall down to the bed.

"System, come and report, how much money have you earned?"

[...Okay, so Host.. What if your lovely, very talented System.. is somehow a genius at earning money? Wait, no, that's not right. Host, how can earning money be so fun? The other competitors look like a fool because they don't know anything! They don't know that I've stolen basically all information, and set up landmines ahead of time.. Waaa! This kind of profit mountain.. System is drooling, Host, I'm drooling!]

Xu Jiaqi, who heard the response, blinked multiple times before pinching her cheek and making sure that she hadn't gone crazy yet.

"System.. if I'm not the one who went nuts.. Then you're.. Is your head okay? Don't tell me, you contracted a virus? Let's perform a check up on you, System."

[W-what?! Absolutely not! Nothing is wrong with me! It's Host that's weird! You made this seem like a strenuous task, when it's actually so fun! Ah, Host, you couldn't recognize a diamond in the rough! This one is clearly a genius, a great companion, but you  treat me this way.. Must I riot?]

"..Really, I think you've gone ballistic." Xu Jiaqi took off her clothes and changed into casual ones. "Anyway, report the profits you've made. I'm thinking that I should buy a house if I want more leisure."

[How rude, Host.. But.. Hehehehehe. Heheh. Hehehh~ HEHEHEHEH!] The System's voice gradually sounded more and more like a maniac, to the point where Xu Jiaqi was frightened.

"S-System? Earth to System...~?" Xu Jiaqi carefully spoke.

[You won't believe this, Host! I earned one million! One million dollars! Host, what do you want to buy? This rich mommy will buy you the goods!]

This was the point where Xu Jiaqi finally understood. She broke the System.

How sad, how pitiful.. How lucky.

If System enjoyed making money.. And is willing to share his wealth with her.. Then, it was a good thing, right?

Hehe.

Xu Jiaqi: Mommy System, please give me the allowance.

As such, Xu Jiaqi let the System earn money for a few more days before finally deciding to go out and look for suitable property to move in. Her current assets totaled up to around three million dollars. It was unknown how the System managed to play around with the market to such a point, but Xu Jiaqi did not question it. After all, he was a robot in the end.

A human like her shouldn't force herself to understand how he worked. The point is to reap the benefits for herself!
