The longed-for village system

Chapter 382 The Scandal Escalates
The most significant event in the past few days was undoubtedly the announcement of the merger between Manyuan Village and several neighboring villages. Of course, Chen Qing immediately asked the system if going to the neighboring villages now would count as leaving the village, but the damn system didn't even reply, not even making a sound.

On this day, Chen Qing, Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, Liu Shishi, and others officially signed contracts with several hospital officials. The hospital was quite generous with their signing fees, offering 80 million yuan a year, which is equivalent to an average of 20 million yuan per person, and most importantly, this is after tax.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your popularity has exceeded 70 million. You will be randomly selected to receive a reward."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your popularity has exceeded 80 million. You will be randomly selected to receive a reward."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your popularity has exceeded 90 million. You will be randomly selected to receive a reward."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your popularity has exceeded 100 million. You will receive one random reward, one designated skill, and one special prescription burn recovery ointment."

Just as Chen Qing turned around after seeing the people off at the hospital, he suddenly heard the system's voice, and then he froze.

What's wrong with this system? Why is it suddenly going on such a massive rampage? Rewards of 70 million, 80 million, 90 million, and 100 million are being distributed all at once? What were they doing before?
Chen Qing: "What's going on? Why are the rewards being distributed all at once?"

System: Never mind that. The main purpose was to give you a surprise. How about it? Pretty generous of a reward this time! (Would I tell you I wasn't around during this time? Naive.)
Chen Qing, of course, had no idea what the dog system was thinking; he was currently overjoyed with this reward! What a windfall!
Seeing Chen Qing suddenly stop, the three girls, Zhao Xiaogu, Liu Shishi, and Ya Ya, looked puzzled with strange expressions. Zhao Xiaogu asked, "Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"Oh? It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. Teacher He and the others should be here this afternoon, right?" Chen Qing chose to change the subject, since she couldn't tell them about the system.

"Okay! It's good that everything is alright. Teacher He and the others should be here soon."

"Alright, let's go back inside and eat first. We'll just have something simple for lunch and a big meal for dinner." Chen Qing said to everyone, then asked the system again, "System, now that our village has merged with several surrounding villages, does going to other villages count as leaving the village?"

This matter is very important to him, as it directly affects the maximum range of his activities. You must know that this merger is not just a few kilometers but an area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers, which is larger than a typical small town.

System: No, as long as you are still within the area you belong to, it doesn't count as leaving the village. If you can expand the village to outer space, then even if you go to heaven, it doesn't count as leaving the village.

Hearing the system's reply, Chen Qing was relieved. Now his activity area was no longer limited to the small village. He didn't expect to receive this surprise by chance, which was much better than receiving a reward.

He hadn't felt this way before he was restricted, but since being restricted, he has truly come to cherish it more.

A hundred square kilometers is nothing in Yunnan Province, let alone in the vast land area of ​​China, but it's enough for Chen Qing to go out and play for a day or two. He'll go online later to check if there are any fun places nearby, and he'll go there to play after this episode of "Longing for Life" is finished filming.

"What's going on? Why does Brother Chen seem to be in a good mood all of a sudden? Did something happen?" Liu Shishi turned to Zhao Xiaogu and Yaya and asked.

“Yes! That’s strange. I didn’t see Brother Chen excited when we signed the contract earlier! Why is he excited now? Did we miss something?” Ya Ya also looked at Zhao Xiao Gu and spoke up. She was the one who had the most contact with Chen Qing here.

Zhao Xiaogu shook her head, looking puzzled. She didn't know why her man had suddenly become so excited. Nothing good had happened besides the signing. "It's probably because of the signing bonus! It's 80 million a year! You've made a fortune," Ya Ya's agent said.

"Yes! It's still 80 million after tax. That money is too easy to make," Liu Shishi's agent couldn't help but sigh.

That's 80 million after taxes! You know, taxes are the biggest expense in the entertainment industry. This family makes money way too easily. One endorsement can earn them almost 100 million. They only need to make money from one endorsement a year. Why bother with all that hard work?

Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, and Liu Shishi simply smiled at their agent's words. They knew that Chen Qing's excitement wasn't about the signing bonus, but since Chen Qing hadn't said anything, they didn't feel comfortable asking.

Back inside, Chen Qing didn't immediately try to acquire the skill. Meanwhile, the hospital immediately announced that Chen Qing, Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, and Liu Shishi would be the hospital's brand ambassadors.

The four's fans naturally applauded and cheered, after all, their idols broke the record that no celebrity could endorse a hospital. But insiders, especially the reporters and media, immediately heard the big news.

"You people are too naive. Haven't you ever thought about why the hospital invited Goddess YaYa and Goddess ShiShi?"

"I'm afraid what the reporters reported before wasn't just a scandal, and it wasn't just about Goddess Yaya. My youth is gone; all three goddesses have turned into young women this year."

"Although I was mentally prepared, I thought that only Goddess Yaya had been won over by Brother Chen, but I didn't expect that Goddess Shishi would also be revealed. Brother Chen, you are too ruthless! Can you handle three goddesses?"

"Wake up, all of you! The goddesses have nothing to do with you. These goddesses are good friends with Brother Chen. Their personalities complement each other and they can help Brother Chen in different ways. Anyway, I support them."

"With tears in my eyes, I wish you, Brother Chen, to take good care of my goddess Yaya. I hope you two will have your own baby soon."

"Shishi's fans also sent their blessings with tears in their eyes, and asked her to take good care of our Shishi baby in the future."

Reports and comments from major journalists, media outlets, fans, and passersby instantly propelled their rumored relationship to the top of trending searches. This time, it wasn't just a rumor, but a confirmation; everyone unanimously believed that they were indirectly announcing their relationship.

The chat group of the three girls started exploding with messages. Mimi, Qinqin, and Xiaoju were all asking if the news was true, and if the two of them had really established a relationship with Brother Chen.

Zhao Xiaogu did not respond directly to this, but only sent a message saying that the group had completed the signing. Liu Shishi and Ya Ya explained in the group chat. Whether the sisters believed it or not was not their concern.

They'd better not believe it, because that would make their relationship with Brother Chen even more ambiguous. If things turn out to be real, they wouldn't mind.
