The longed-for village system

Chapter 217 The Virtuous Zhao Xiaogu

"How was it? Was it good?" Chen Qing stood up and asked the group.

Chen Qing was very satisfied with everyone's expressions; this was exactly the reaction he wanted, otherwise it would be a disservice to his heartfelt performance of the song.

"It sounds great, Brother Chen is awesome."

Zhao Xiaogu blindly supports her man. No matter what song Brother Chen sings, she thinks it sounds good and perfect. Although this song is a bit unconventional, it still doesn't change the fact that it sounds good and perfect.

"It sounds good, but Chen, did you never know you were this cheeky? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by the crowd if you sing like that?" Teacher He said to Chen Qing with a smile.

"I'm not afraid. I chose Zhong Kui. Even if I die, I will still be the most outstanding."

Teacher He and Huang Sanshi didn't understand the joke Chen Qing was making, but everyone else at the scene understood it, and the viewers in the live broadcast room also understood what Chen Qing meant.

Zhong Kui has a passive ability upon death that deals explosive damage that even tanks can't withstand, let alone squishy heroes. You could say that Zhong Kui is a bugged hero who can still get a pentakill even after death.

Chen Qing's first pentakill was with Zhong Kui, where he blew all the other enemies back home after his death.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing! No wonder you love playing Zhong Kui so much." Peng Peng finally understood why Chen Qing loved playing Zhong Kui so much.

Many people in the live stream also like to play Zhong Kui. As for why they like to play Zhong Kui, their thoughts are similar to Chen Qing's. A man's output needs to be long enough to hook with lightning speed. Even if he dies, he will make the enemy not dare to underestimate him and will flee.

"I didn't expect that Brother Chen would be like me, a provincial-level Zhong Kui (a legendary figure in Chinese mythology) requesting to fight."

"The bomb-wielding Zhong Kui begs for death; who dares to step forward and fight?"

"My first pentakill was with Zhong Kui. The death explosion killed three people, and then we wiped out the enemy team in one fell swoop. It was a sure win without any effort."

"What do you mean by winning without leaving the fountain and no one reporting it? That's my Demon-Subduing Celestial Master Zhong Kui!"

"I want to play Zhong Kui too, brothers! Let's team up and play a clone game! Ten Celestial Masters, go for it!"

On this day, a strange phenomenon occurred in the game: Zhong Kui appeared in every match, whether it was ranked or casual. Some players who couldn't get Zhong Kui even restarted the game just to try and get him. The number of clone matches also increased dramatically, with ten Zhong Kui fighting and exploding all over the map.

The pesticide company executives also truly witnessed the influence of Chen Qing's song and immediately called Zhao Xiaogu's agent to inform them that they were willing to spend 500 million yuan to buy the song's broadcast and commercial performance rights.

There was nothing they could do. Although they wanted to contact Chen Qing directly, no one had his number. Moreover, Chen Qing didn't even have an agent or assistant. It was quite bizarre for a top-tier celebrity to be like this.

Of course, that's a story for later. At this point, the people in the Mushroom House resumed their interactions and chats until 11 p.m. when Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu finally returned to the old house.

Back at the old house, Zhao Xiaogu was astonished to receive a call from her cousin Sun Xiaoxiao informing her of Tencent's interest in signing her. Turning to Chen Qing beside her, she exclaimed, "Honey, you're going to be rich! Tencent has their eye on the song you just sang, and they're willing to pay 500 million for the broadcasting rights and commercial performance rights!" 500 million! A song could fetch so much money, and the copyright was still in her possession. Was singing really that lucrative? Zhao Xiaogu was now tempted; the money was coming too fast.

"Sure, as long as the copyright is still with us, my cousin can sign the contract with them on my behalf!"

Chen Qing accepted the money without hesitation. Wouldn't he be a fool not to make money from capitalists, especially since it was money from Tencent? He had spent several hundred dollars on top-ups in his previous life, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to earn some back in this life!
Of course, he wouldn't keep all the money for himself. He would keep 500,000 yuan for his and his wife's daily expenses and future expenses, and he planned to donate the remaining 4.5 million yuan as a kind of compensation or a consolation to his conscience.
Sun Xiaoxiao and Penguin acted quickly. Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu had just finished washing up when Chen Qing received a remittance notification on his phone. 500 million yuan went directly into his bank account.

"Honey, you're amazing! It would take me ages to earn this much money! I never imagined you could earn it all in one night. You truly are my man, Zhao Xiaogu's man."

Zhao Xiaogu was very proud of her husband when she saw the remittance information. 500 million yuan was not much to her, but she admired his speed and ability to make money. If her husband wanted to make money, this money would be too easy for him.

Seeing the money and Zhao Xiaogu's excited expression, Chen Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Wife, I want to discuss something with you. I plan to use 500 of this 50 million for our expenses, and I plan to use the remaining 450 million for charity to help those in need."

Although the money came from his songwriting, he and Zhao Xiaogu are now husband and wife, so the money is their joint property. Donating such a large sum of money definitely requires Zhao Xiaogu's approval.

As expected, Zhao Xiaogu was stunned when she heard Chen Qing donate 450 million. It was the first time she had ever seen such a donation. Others would donate 500 if they earned 50 million, or 100 million if they donated, and that would be considered a great act of charity. But her husband actually donated 450 million. It was like losing nine out of ten to save one!
However, Zhao Xiaogu was only briefly taken aback, and she could understand and accept her man's actions.

My husband was an orphan who grew up relying on the kindness of others. Although the villagers treated him well, he lacked the warmth and affection of a family. So it's only natural that he wants to help others now that he has the ability.

"Okay! Honey, I support your decision." Zhao Xiaogu smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Really? Aren't you angry? I just donated that much money without hesitation."

Chen Qing was quite surprised by Zhao Xiaogu's reaction. After all, he wouldn't have been willing to donate so much money if it weren't for her special circumstances. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaogu would only be briefly taken aback before smiling and agreeing.

"Don't be angry! Why should we be angry? We've earned enough money for ourselves. Now that we have extra money, why not use it to help those in need? It's a good thing, and we should do more if we have the ability," Zhao Xiaogu explained with a smile.

She has experienced the hardships of being poor. She left her rural hometown to work because her family was too poor, so after she earns money, she tries her best to help those in need.

"My wife, you're so wonderful. I, Chen Qing, am so lucky to have married you in this lifetime." Chen Qing was deeply moved by Zhao Xiaogu's answer and hugged her tightly, sighing with gratitude.

"Hehe, honey, you're great too! Now everyone says I have excellent taste in choosing such a wonderful man as my husband, they're all so envious!"

"Really? Then shouldn't I reward you properly, or should you, as my wife, treat me well?"

Seeing the frivolous smile on Chen Qing's face, Zhao Xiaogu immediately covered him with her small hand and said shyly, "Husband, no, Mom said we can't have sex in the first three months, it's not good for the baby."
