183: Chapter 183 Husband, I Love You
『System: Host's goal for today has been reached. Beginning the lucky draw.』
『System: Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Challenge Mission. It has been stored in the System Warehouse.』
...
After waiting for a while, Li Luo was a bit dazed.
"That's it? Aren't there supposed to be random mini-tasks to complete?"
『System: The System has reached Level 2. Random mini-tasks are cancelled; the Host may view the mission directly.』
Li Luo didn't expect such a good thing. The system was finally being humane for once.
Those mini-tasks weren't necessarily hard, they were just quite troublesome to do.
Thinking of this, Li Luo said without hesitation,
"System, open the warehouse and view the Challenge Mission."
『System: Challenge Mission. The Host shall give a bank card to a member of the opposite sex. This person may randomly purchase various items. Afterwards, all spent amounts will be returned tenfold.』
『System: If the person makes a purchase that exceeds the card's balance, resulting in a payment failure, all items previously purchased by that person using this card will be reclaimed.』
【Note: The Host is not allowed to reveal the bank card balance or induce the person to spend. Bound subjects are not allowed to participate in the challenge. If any violation is discovered, the Challenge Mission will be cancelled immediately.】
After Li Luo finished listening, his spirits were instantly lifted. How should he put it? If handled well, his assets could multiply several times over.
If handled poorly, it might not even be as good as a Level 2 Cashback Card.
After calming down, Li Luo asked about the doubt in his heart.
"System, what do you mean by 'any items'? Does it include cars and houses?"
『System: It is not limited to any items, as long as the amount can be paid out.』
Seeing this, Li Luo couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
In that case, it was a test of courage. Li Luo currently had nearly 140 million in his bank card. As long as the Girl he chose was bold enough, she could become wealthy overnight.
Of course, Li Luo also knew the probability was low, given so many requirements and restrictions.
Just the rule about exceeding the balance and having all items reclaimed—equivalent to fetching water with a wicker basket—would make that Girl think very carefully about her spending.
Forget it, why worry so much? He would know once he picked a suitable person to try the challenge.
Pushing the thoughts aside, Li Luo picked up his phone and started scrolling.
Before long, as he scrolled, Li Luo unknowingly fell asleep.
In a daze, he felt his face itching. He scratched it absentmindedly, but it started itching again after a moment.
Only then did he groggily open his eyes.
Once he cleared his head a bit and saw the Girl giggling in front of him, Li Luo irritably pulled her over and kissed her.
A few minutes later.
Ai Shanshan finally broke free from her man's embrace, panting heavily.
Once her breathing steadied a bit, she said reproachfully,
"Husband, are you trying to murder me? You were so rough."
"I was sleeping so soundly, yet you just had to wake me up. Didn't you bring this on yourself?"
As he spoke, Li Luo smiled and beckoned her with his hand.
"Come here, let husband kiss you again. Your mouth is quite fragrant today, it has a scent of flower tea."
"Of course it does. I came back today and drank a cup of jasmine-flavored milk tea. How could it not be fragrant?"
As Ai Shanshan spoke, she leaned her lips closer while adding another sentence.
"Husband, be a bit more gentle with your movements. You kissed me so hard I couldn't breathe just now."
"I know, hurry up."
Hearing this, Ai Shanshan gave her man a flirtatious roll of her eyes.
Immediately after, before she could react, she was pulled onto the bed by Li Luo, and the two became entangled with each other.
"Husband, have you kissed enough? Let me catch my breath."
"Mmm, mmm..."
This continued for a moment before Li Luo leaned against the bed, satisfied.
Ai Shanshan, who had hurriedly scrambled to the foot of the bed, said with a hint of a sob in her voice,
"I'm never drinking flower tea again. Also, my tongue hurts so much."
Seeing this, Li Luo quickly consoled her,
"Come here, let husband hold you and it won't hurt anymore."
Ai Shanshan gave a hmph upon hearing that.
"I don't believe you for a second!"
Li Luo shook his head with a smile, then picked up his phone from the side, glanced at it, and said,
"It's already midnight. What time did you and Xuan Xuan get back?"
"We just got back not long ago. I planned to tease you, husband, but I didn't expect you to sleep so lightly. You woke up after just a little poking," Ai Shanshan grumbled with a pout.
"So you're blaming me? Should I wait until I fall asleep for you to try again?"
"Forget it then."
As she spoke, Ai Shanshan let out a yawn.
"It's getting late, husband, you go back to sleep! I'm going to go wash up and sleep with Xuan Xuan too."
Li Luo immediately said irritably,
"I was woken up by you, how can I fall asleep so quickly? Also, go wash up, you're sleeping with me tonight."
"Sleep... with... you?"
"What's with the shock? You called me yesterday telling me to come back. Did you really just want me to come back to sleep?" Li Luo said, somewhat depressed.
"No, no, I was ready last night, but I'm not ready tonight," Ai Shanshan said, her pretty face turning slightly red.
Hearing this, Li Luo could only sigh in his heart.
After all, this kind of thing couldn't be forced. If he insisted on the Girl going through with it, he believed she would agree.
But in that case, the Girl would surely feel some rejection during the act, and Li Luo's 'driving experience' wouldn't be good either.
Thinking of this, Li Luo waved his hand at her.
"Then go wash up! Get it done and go to bed early."
"Husband, I..."
"It's fine." Before she could finish, Li Luo interrupted her.
"Find me when you're ready. I'm not that desperate. Just go wash up and sleep, it's late."
Seeing this, Ai Shanshan said no more. She looked at her man with teary eyes, then put on her shoes and walked toward the door.
The moment the door closed, she still said with love,
"Husband, Shan Shan really loves you."
"Mhm, husband loves you too. Go wash up and sleep."
Ai Shanshan then closed the door and walked toward the room she shared with her Best Friend with a complicated gaze.
Once the Girl left, Li Luo opened his phone messages. When he checked the time earlier, he had noticed two messages. It seemed the Girls had claimed them after he fell asleep.
Looking at the cashback amounts, one was a fivefold return and the other was sevenfold.
After subtracting the 1.52 million he sent to the Girls, he only lost 320,000 tonight, which was quite acceptable.
After checking, Li Luo opened TikTok and started scrolling.
When he noticed a system notification in his following list, Li Luo clicked in casually.
He didn't follow many people, mostly just a few 'weakling' Tomato authors.
Seeing the red circle at the top flashing, Li Luo didn't think much of it. Since he was bored, he clicked it.
『Level 48 Ji Yunfan has entered the stream.』
Zhu Zhuyin, who was playing Honor of Kings while chatting with fans, saw this and immediately screamed in excitement,
"Welcome home, Brother Yun Fan!!"
"I was wondering why Little Bamboo was so excited. Turns out the true god has descended."
"How could she not be? Big Shot Yunfan gives money every time he comes. If I were Little Bamboo, I'd be sticking my butt up to the sky."
"Big Shot Yunfan, can your gender be a bit flexible? I'm Yuan Yuan."
"Is the one upstairs really Yuan Yuan? I see your IP is in Yang City, while I'm pacing around anxiously in Sichuan-Chongqing. What should I do?"
...
Ignoring the wacky comments from the fans, Zhu Zhuyin got straight to the point,
"Brother Yun Fan, what song do you want Little Bamboo to sing today?"
She didn't dare waste time. Every time Uncle Yunfan came, he wouldn't stay long before leaving the stream.
Although she knew Uncle Yunfan would gift every time he came, if she could get him to stay a bit longer, her chances of earning more gifts would increase.
Besides, after Uncle Yunfan left the stream later, she still had some things to consult him about.
"No singing today. After you finish this match, do a face-cam stream and find someone for a PK."
Speaking of streaming PKs, Li Luo was actually quite interested.
Sometimes he saw those tycoon 'Big Brothers' drop dozens of Carnivals in one go, making the stream's popularity explode.
Even more so when the PK got heated; Carnivals would be thrown up like they cost nothing.
He just didn't know if these tycoons were real or if they were guild members arranged to set the pace and fleece ordinary people.
Zhu Zhuyin was shaken when she heard this. She had already planned on doing this.
But she couldn't bring it up herself, otherwise Uncle Yunfan might think she was insatiable.
Of course, these thoughts only lasted a moment, and she quickly reacted.
"Okay, Brother Yun Fan, I'll end this stream now. Fans, come back to Little Bamboo's room in a bit. I'll dress up a little and restart the stream in ten minutes or so."
Zhu Zhuyin also added a reminder,
"Brother Yun Fan, I'm going offline first. See you in a bit."
"Mhm, go ahead!"
After greeting her fans once more, Zhu Zhuyin immediately ended the stream.
She didn't even care about the game anymore and rushed to the bathroom to start applying makeup.
Normally, when she didn't show her face, she wouldn't bother with makeup or dressing up.
Only during the monthly face-cam streams would she carefully dress up.
After checking herself in the mirror and confirming there were no flaws, Zhu Zhuyin nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she went back to the bedroom to change her clothes. Once everything was ready, she walked quickly back to the stream room and sat down.
Before starting, she didn't forget to send a message to Uncle Yunfan to notify him.
「Zhu Zhuyin: Brother Yun Fan, I'm about to go live.」
After sending the message, Zhu Zhuyin couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she guessed Brother Yun Fan might be an uncle, she switched between 'Uncle' and 'Brother' quite naturally, whether in streams or offline chats.
「Uncle Yunfan: Okay.」
After Li Luo replied, he casually opened the TikTok backend and saw there were over 6.6 million dou coins left.
To be safe, he topped up another 10 million dou coins.
Once everything was settled, Li Luo entered the stream again.
Seeing the viewer count in the top right showing 20,000+, he didn't react for a second.
It wasn't until he saw the frequency of the comments that he understood the reason.
Seeing the notification on the screen, Zhu Zhuyin immediately screamed in excitement,
"Welcome Brother Yun Fan back to the stream!"
"I was wondering why Little Bamboo notified the fan group about an event tonight. Turns out Big Shot Yunfan is here."
"To see Sister Xiao Zhu's true face again, I am truly blessed."
"That's because you didn't come when Little Bamboo streamed before. Tonight, not only is she showing her face, there's also a big event."
"What big event? Foster father upstairs, please enlighten me."
"Son, you're too polite. Tonight, Big Shot Yunfan designated Little Bamboo to do a PK with another streamer."
...
"Little Bamboo, go ahead and link up. I need to rest after this is done."
Seeing that Uncle Yunfan had spoken, Zhu Zhuyin didn't waste words and immediately started a random link-up.
Of course, she had considered linking with her Best Friend. If the other party lost, Uncle Yunfan might give some 'medical fees' out of pity.
But thinking about how she was about to go to Jiangning to meet Uncle Yunfan in person, if he saw her Best Friend's appearance beforehand...
...and it caused her plan to fail, that would be a problem. So she dismissed the thought.
Seeing the link-up succeed, she suppressed her thoughts. After all, making money was the top priority right now.
The opponent was also a young lady who looked slightly older than her, but everything online was filtered and beautified, so she couldn't know the actual situation.
As soon as they connected, Zhu Zhuyin said with a smile,
"Hello, Miss. Do you want to do a PK?"
"Hello, streamer sister. My Big Brother here is asking if you have any talents?"
"I'm a gaming streamer, but I studied dance for two years. I'm just a lost little dancer in this mortal world. And you are?"
"I'm a singing streamer who once braved the Super Girl 'Hilarious Adventure' and almost made the judges crack up!"
"In that case, let's not waste words. Whoever loses performs. Let's start!"
"Alright, mute and let's go."
Li Luo was stunned listening to their conversation. He didn't expect Zhu Zhuyin to have this side to her besides her spicy strip voice.
"Family, those with money, please support with money. Those without, please follow and like. Everyone, let's move, oly-ge!"
After speaking, Zhu Zhuyin played the 'Ni Zhan' battle song she had prepared, and the stream instantly boiled over.
"Everyone, get your votes in! It's not easy for Little Bamboo to do a PK, we can't let the other side look down on us."
"The one upstairs is right, we can't let them look down on us. I'll take the lead in gifting this time."
【I'm Dead, Call My Soul if Needed】 sent 'power generation for love' ×3!
...
"Thank you, family, for the 'power generation for love' and all the other gifts. Thank you so much."
"Brother Yun Fan! Help! The other side is starting to push!" Zhu Zhuyin screamed into the microphone in a panic.
Hearing this, Li Luo saw that the streamer's health bar was almost gone, so he casually dropped a Carnival. The streamer instantly 'revived' with full health.
「Ji Yunfan」 gifted Streamer Little Bamboo a Carnival.
Seeing the luxury gift appear, Zhu Zhuyin howled in her unique spicy strip voice,
"Thank you Brother Yun Fan for the Carnival! I love you so much, Brother, you're so mighty and domineering!"
Seeing this, the streamer on the other side, named 'Little Deer Thumping,' was shocked to see the Carnival. She then turned to her own Big Brother with anticipation and said sweetly,
"Brother Lonely, you wanted to see the opposing streamer dance, but she obviously came prepared."
"It's fine, it's just one Carnival. This is like an ant trying to shake a tree, or showing off skills before a master!"
