2001 Media Godfather

Chapter 30 is so weak!
Chu An also played games in his previous life, but most of them were real-time combat games like PUBG, Dota, and Honor of Kings.

A game lasts half an hour or an hour, and it all depends on individual skill. You can keep killing people and have a blast.

I have no interest in traditional MMOs; I think they're just money-grabbing schemes. Why would I, with my limited intelligence, waste my money on you?

When creating her account and choosing a name, Xu Shu's choice was very contemporary: 【窈窕淑女】 (Elegant Lady).

Chu An glanced at it, too lazy to think, and directly typed in "[君子好球]", even misspelling "球".

Xu Shu noticed that he seemed to be taking advantage of her when he named the game, but she didn't show much arrogance. She was just trying it out anyway, and after today, she probably wouldn't touch the game again.

Besides, actors are extremely immune to these ambiguous romantic subplots. They act every day and are no longer bothered by them.

They entered the starting village wearing only their underwear, accepted the newbie quests, and then teamed up to go out of the village to kill pigs.

"【Gentleman's Play】invites you to team up."

Xu Shu clicked "agree," and the team information for the two appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.

[A gentleman loves to play ball]

A graceful lady

The famous star Xu immediately frowned.

The next moment, a system message appeared: [The elegant lady has left the team; your team has been disbanded.]

Chu An was puzzled. What kind of trouble was this? Did they get eaten by pigs?

Result: [The Elegant Lady] invites you to team up.
Chu An: ? ? ?
After agreeing, the team was formed.

A graceful lady

[A gentleman loves to play ball]

"Mmm!" Xu Shu smiled contentedly, feeling much more comfortable.

Chu An, however, showed no mercy: "You childish brat!"

Xu Shu: "!!"

Hmm, another victory! President Chu feels a great sense of accomplishment having beaten the little girl.

Mr. Chu played the game with a utilitarian mindset. He won over the female lead, successfully filmed "With You," slapped Tiandu in the face, and from then on trampled capital under his feet.

That's right, President Chu is petty. He was trampled on by capital in his past life, so he has to get revenge in this life, otherwise he won't be able to have a peaceful mind!
But MMO games, they really don't seem very interesting. You just play as a little person and keep killing pigs, killing pigs and more killing pigs.

But once you actually start playing it, you'll find that this thing is addictive.

First of all, it feels good to keep growing and getting stronger.

Level up to become stronger, equip yourself to become stronger, and add skills to become stronger.

Secondly, the interactivity is unmatched by any real-time battle game.

The two of them had a lot of fun playing games, and there were always some funny moments.

For example, Xu Shu fought hard and killed a pig, and suddenly a piece of white-grade equipment dropped.

Chu An quickly picked it up, and Xu Shu missed.

President Chu was really looking forward to wearing it, but...
Damn! This game is terrible! The equipment is divided into male and female versions, and I can't even wear the women's clothes!

He had no choice but to reluctantly toss it to Xu Shu, and then...
Then, Chu An's hard times began. He could forget about stealing the pig Xu Shu slaughtered. The pig he slaughtered...
The pig was dying, so even the famous Xu stopped fighting it and stood by waiting. He stuffed all the loot into his bag, regardless of gender, leaving nothing for Chu An.

Chu An could tolerate the blank card, but this pig dropped a blue item, and Xu Shu picked it up.

Chu An: "That looks like a men's outfit."

Xu Shu: "Yes!"

Chu An: "Then why did you pick it up?"

Xu Shu, "Sell it for money!"

Chu An, "..."

"That's for your teammate, do you want to consider giving it to him?"

Xu Shu said, "Oh." She tossed the blue outfit out and said, "Here, take it."

"Borrow??" Chu An felt a bit like he wanted to become Director Lu.

Is this even human language?

PS: CEO Chu still lacks experience. It's much more fun to play PUBG and Honor of Kings with a girl! Forget about DOTA and Dota, there are no women in Dota.

And so they argued and made a ruckus, one of them no longer caring about the female lead's conquest, his voice growing louder and louder, and his temper becoming more and more irritable.

"You surnamed Xu! Can't you be a human being? I'm out of blood, give me a little more!?"

Xu Shu said, "But healing costs mana, and mana potions cost money."

The other one wasn't just playing around either. While Chu An was killing monsters and she was getting experience points, she checked her backpack, threw out a bulky white card, and finally generously said, "Here you go."

Chu An, "..."

It's a level 1 blank board.
I wanted to pin her down there and show her what a gentlemanly "good shot" really meant!

As a result, a system message popped up on the screen: "Your free trial period has expired. Please recharge your game time in time."

"That damn profiteer!" he gritted his teeth, looking at Xu Shu. "Still playing?"

Xu Shu, "Mmm!"

Chu An had no choice but to run to the bar and buy 10 game cards worth 30 each.

So expensive!

I thought to myself, when I'm rich, I'll make a free game where you can become stronger by recharging, and show you game companies what the real dangers of the game world are!

Back in the private room, he prepared to give Xu Shu a card to recharge her game time. He'd use one for himself, and the rest...

The rest of the time, I plan to secretly top up my account with in-game currency and exchange it for real money to buy equipment.

Hey!
President Chu has 50 yuan in his account, so he's not short of money at all.

As soon as I recharged my game card and logged back to the leveling spot, a level 30+ Wudang player who was teaming up with a female player with a lower-level character sent me back to the village with just two skills.

"Damn it!" Chu An cursed, completely enraged. Xu Shu also stared at the screen without moving, her hands trembling with anger.

She was in a much worse situation than Chu An; her entire backpack of equipment was destroyed, and she lost her weapons.

Feeling wronged, he said, "I can't beat them."

Then, President Chu clapped his hands and placed eight prepaid cards there.

"Charge! Kill him!"

Top up your card and return to the world of martial arts. Buy a full set of good equipment from the player stalls, then...
They died again. They had only played for two hours, and Xu Shu wasn't even seriously fighting monsters; they were only around level ten. How were they supposed to win?
This time, President Chu was smarter. Instead of buying equipment with his game card, he bought double experience items. The two of them used potions the whole time, leveling up like crazy.

Before I knew it, it was already 9 p.m., and I had reached level 29.

When the network administrator came to collect overnight bookings, Chu An didn't even pretend to ask if anyone wanted to book an overnight stay; he simply slammed 50 yuan on the table.

Turning to Xu Shu, he asked, "Chicken frame noodles? The dumplings at the place next door are pretty good too."

Xu Shu was busy dealing with an elite monster and had no time to pay attention to him. Her big eyes were fixed on the screen. "Chicken frame noodles." Chu An then said to the net: "All night! Two chicken frames, cold salad, extra coriander roots, two bowls of noodles, and two cans of Very Coke."

Xu Shu, standing to the side, said, "One bowl, half for each of us, we need to lose weight."

Chu An didn't say anything, but the blond-haired internet cafe manager couldn't take it anymore; his resentment had been building for a while.

That damn rich guy, he must have spent hundreds of dollars on the game, right?

All afternoon I could hear them arguing and showing affection on the second floor.

Ordering food is so complicated now, even splitting it in half? And you're supposed to be on a diet?!

Do you think you're a celebrity? Why would you need to lose weight?
She glared fiercely at Chu An, then turned and left.

Chu An was furious: She said it, why are you glaring at me?

Despite his complaints, the blond-haired internet cafe manager was still a decent person. He brought a bowl to avoid the awkward situation of the two of them actually sharing a bowl of noodles.

Hmm, maybe he did it on purpose!

While eating noodles, Xu Shu reverted to her usual aloof demeanor.

Chu An also discovered what kind of personality Xu, the big star, had. Was she aloof? Lively? A comedic woman?

neither!
She has no personal style, let alone a personality.

She was just a seventeen-year-old girl who had been carefully groomed by the heavens.

Her growth and even her mental maturity are not as advanced as those of a normal seventeen-year-old high school girl.

From the age of seven, her world consisted only of acting, acting, and more acting.

Therefore, whenever an unfamiliar scene appears, Xu Shu will habitually assume the role of an actor and play different lives and personalities.

For example:
When she ties her hair into a bun, she'll adorably complain that it's disgusting.

Chu An delicately dismantles the chicken carcass; she can imagine herself in a street scene, transforming into a forthright and tough woman.

In the game, she became that game-addicted girl again.

At that moment, Xu Shu took out her phone, which was switched off, wanting to turn it on and see if her assistant or the company would contact her or be worried about her disappearance.

But she dared not turn on the machine, afraid of facing difficulties she might not be able to handle.

Chu An lowered her head to eat her noodles, but kept observing, thinking to herself, perhaps this is the real her.

They were both immersed in the freedom they had gained and filled with trepidation about the unknown future.

After Chu An finished eating, he pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside and then took Xu Shu's phone without warning.

"How about I take a look for you?"

Xu Shu initially wanted to resist; she had lied to Chu An, saying she was out for a walk to clear her head! She couldn't let him know she had snuck out.

but.
Looking into Chu An's eyes, Xu Shu understood the comfort in them; he had known all along.

Chu An said, "Li Chunhua had already gone mad when she came out of the guesthouse."

"Oh."

Xu Shu pulled back, stirring the noodles, "Then...take a look for me."

Chu An turned on his phone, and immediately a flurry of text message notifications began to ring.

Chu An: "They were all missed calls, some from Zhang Yuan and some from Li Chunhua."

After flipping through the pages, I realized, "There are only the two of them, which means they didn't dare report it to the company. It's not a big problem."

These words reassured Xu Shu a lot.

Chu An said, "I received quite a few text messages. Besides them, there was also a 'dad' who sent a lot of messages."

Chu An casually tapped the screen, but before he could even look at it closely, Xu Shu snatched the phone away, shouting, "Don't look!"

He gripped his phone tightly, as if he wanted to hide it inside his body.

At this point, even if Chu An saw the contents of the text message, he should pretend he didn't.

Is Mr. Chu just an ordinary person?
He shrugged. "But I've already seen it. Your dad said someone's come to collect a debt again, and he wants you to give him a reply right away."

Xu Shu trembled all over, at a loss for what to do.

Her family is a secret that cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise, her acting career would be over.

Yuan Jie told her that the easiest way to ruin an actor is through a scandal.

She couldn't even imagine how her fans would view her if they knew what kind of person her father was.

What will she do if no one asks her to act anymore?

"You!" Xu Shu's eyes suddenly flashed with bloodshot veins, and she glared at Chu An with murderous intent. "You didn't see anything! Didn't you hear me?"

But to Xu Shu's surprise, Chu An's reaction was not as exaggerated as she had imagined, nor did he look at her with strange eyes, as if to say, "So the famous Xu Shu has such an embarrassing father!"
He didn't even back down because of his own threats.

The reaction was actually disdain!

His face was filled with undisguised disgust. And that disgust wasn't just disgust for her family.

Instead, like their peers, they dislike their good friends.

Chu An's next words confirmed Xu Shu's guess. Chu An simply glanced at her indifferently, "You're really pathetic!"

"What's the panic? Look at you, so pathetic!"

Xu Shu was stunned, "..."

President Chu switched to his "Little Handsome Chu" mode, saying, "I don't want my friends to be timid and hesitant because of those trivial adult matters. How boring is that?"

Xu Shu: "??"

friend
It turns out he considered me a friend.

The corners of my mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, and I was led astray again.

She doesn't have any friends, maybe Zhang Yuan is one?
Chu An hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Besides, what's the big deal? Everyone has a troublesome father."

Xu Shu was stunned again, her face full of surprise, "Your dad gambles too?"

Chu An looked at her intently, his eyes deep and serious. "My dad doesn't gamble, but he ran away from home."

Xu Shu, “…”

After a long pause, she replied seriously, "I'm a girl, I can't be your dad."

"Get lost!" Chu An rolled his eyes, feeling like he'd been hit with a critical strike and instantly went berserk.

He discovered that this girl occasionally blurted out something that could really shut someone up.
