She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

After waking up, Jiang Lai instinctively reached for her phone, but before she could even unlock it, 001's voice rang out, "Twenty thousand yuan has already been deposited into your account yesterday!"

So Jiang Lai quickly put down her phone again, saying, "Let me sleep a little longer!" Then she immediately went to sleep.

001: ...

When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Lai finally regained full consciousness and exclaimed, "Wow! Twenty thousand yuan!"

Then, she quickly opened her phone to confirm the text message. After counting exactly how many zeros there were, Jiang Lai relaxed immediately. "With these 20,000 yuan, I don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses for the time being."

She slowly sat up in bed, grabbed her toiletries, and went to the bathroom.

It was already past noon, and she was the only one left in the house. The advantage of sleeping until noon was that she saved money on breakfast and avoided clashing with her roommates when they needed to use the bathroom.

Jiang Lai brushed her teeth in front of the mirror, staring at her dead fish eyes for a long time.

001 said, "Stop looking, looking won't make you prettier."

Jiang Lai rolled her eyes, a dead fish eye plus an eye roll, 001 indicating that the damage she received was doubled.

Jiang Lai expressed her anger, but 001 continued to speak boldly: "Actually, you get used to it after a while, and there's nothing ugly about it."

Jiang Lai spat out the water in her mouth and said, "Shut up." Then she used her hands to wash her face with water, grabbed a piece of paper to wipe herself haphazardly, and went back to her room.

She sat down at her desk, opened her notebook, and began to keep track of her expenses.

I originally had 123 yuan, after deducting 7.5 yuan for a jianbing (Chinese crepe), and then the system gave me the money. Yesterday I went out and bought a computer for 6799 yuan, and on my way home I bought a mango mille-feuille which deducted 16 yuan, and then the system gave me the reward. So now I have a total of 5 yuan.

Jiang Lai threw down her pen and leaned back, exclaiming, "My God, such a huge sum of money!"

001 said disdainfully, "A huge sum of over 20,000?"

Jiang Lai shook her head, a little smug. "Otherwise, go ask around. How many people still have negative savings two years after graduation? I haven't done anything these past two days, and I've still gotten so much money for free. It's worth it."

"So, host, you need to perk up! Work hard on the missions! Only then can 001 give you better rewards!"

"Do you know what you look like now?"

"like what?"

"Like a heartless capitalist, and the kind who just makes empty promises!"

"I advise you to show some respect to your parents who provide for you."

Jiang Lai nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I'll order takeout, I'm starving."

I used a coupon for a takeout order, which deducted 20.8 yuan, leaving me with a balance of 7 yuan.

"That's how the money was lost," Jiang Lai said mournfully, then opened the Douyin app.

Once you click on it, the message notifications keep popping up, with 99+ displayed there.

Upon clicking in, I saw 99+ likes and 99+ comments.

Just click on the tutorial video—

—How much emotion is contained in that heart-wrenching sound?

The ruler is of excellent quality, exquisitely crafted, and exactly as described by the seller. Shipping was fast, and the packaging was beautiful. Five-star review (just kidding).

—It is recommended to upload to NetEase Cloud Music.

—Unexpected, unexpected

Even her husband was moved to tears upon hearing this.

—So you can play this with a ruler? I tried, and it completely failed! My classmate looked at me like I was an idiot.

—Rubber band, bowl, calculator, ruler, let me see what other amazing talents there are.

——Lyrics: duang~

Jiang Lai replied to a few of them.

"It contains all my love for Theone!"

"We don't sell rulers (but thank you for the good review)."

"You'll fail to learn it if you try too many times!"

Lin Yinchuan: My lyrics aren't "duang!"

This video actually garnered over 200,000 views, which Jiang Lai never expected. Just how much free time do netizens have?! However, it also shows that Theone is indeed enjoying immense popularity right now; as long as you include Theone's name, you can attract a huge amount of traffic.

"You've already accepted the subsequent tasks! The reward is a heavenly voice and 30,000 yuan. Do you still want the monetary reward?"

001, watching Jiang Lai engrossed in scrolling through her phone, said, "It seems you're not short of money lately, but this 'heavenly voice' isn't about looks. Which one do you want to choose?"

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is 'heavenly voice' meant literally? Does it mean a beautiful voice? My voice is alright, isn't it? Just an average person's voice, so how about we choose—"

"Wait, let me finish. A heavenly voice not only makes your voice sound better, but it also adds an extra boost to singing, reading aloud, dubbing, and other activities. It makes it easier to draw people into the emotions and also helps them calm down."

Jiang Lai hesitated for a while between money and voice. According to the usual practice, this task should be to obtain 800 points of favorability, which is equivalent to 80,000 for ordinary people. It is not difficult in fact.

Her choice was between choosing the voice or choosing money.

If she received another 30,000 yuan, Jiang Lai wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time, and her life would be much easier... But when it came to choosing a voice, Jiang Lai thought for a while. She was going to continue posting videos, or maybe even do live streams in the future. This "heavenly voice" seemed to be more valuable.

If she has a nice voice, she could become a singer, a live streamer, a talk show host, a relationship advice host, or even a gaming companion? Since her face isn't visible, her voice is a plus.

She could also try reading some audiobooks; 001 said that would be an extra bonus...

001 asked anxiously, "Well? Have you made your choice? Let me tell you, choosing Heavenly Voice is more worthwhile. I wouldn't lie to you!"

Jiang Lai laughed out loud, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush me. I'm considering it right now, there's no use in you rushing me!"

"Oh, then you should think it over carefully."

Jiang Lai took out her phone and searched on Douyin for a while, observing the development trends of some voice anchors and learning how they used their voices.

On Douyin (TikTok), aside from singers, there are people who use their pleasant voices to flirt with others in games. Of course, there are also those who offer virtual girlfriends or similar services.

"If the master has such a heavenly voice, he might consider making her a virtual girlfriend!" 001 appeared and said, "Maybe you can even meet a high-quality romanceable person."

“If that’s the case, then I’ve cheated both their feelings and their money.” Jiang Lai shook her head. “I don’t think what you’re saying is very likely. High-quality people don’t need to find virtual girlfriends.”

“You’re right.” 001 thought for a moment and affirmed Jiang Lai’s statement.

"Of course."
