Chapter 707: Chapter 218: Xinlin is Getting Pudgy!_2

After a deep conversation, Ke Jin came to know.

The young man’s parents had passed away early, and his grandfather also left him last year, leaving no one in the world to care whether he had enough food or warm clothes.

He now lived in the dilapidated house left by his grandfather, his computer and a pile of peripherals were all second-hand equipment sent to him by a fan who had replaced them, even Elden Ring was a gift from another fan.

Then he made ends meet with the bare minimum of guaranteed income from streaming and the scattered tips from kind fans, sometimes just a few dollars at a time.

However, even so, Ke Jin could feel an incredibly optimistic attitude towards life coming from the young man.

He said, compared to countries engulfed in war where people could die from bombing any day, he considered himself very fortunate to be able to eat his fill now.

Perhaps it was rare for him to come across a fan willing to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

During the stream, he showed Ke Jin how he managed to prepare a bowl of noodles for himself, despite having lost his arms.

In front of the camera, with a bit of salt in the bowl, he used his toes to pick up the chopsticks and ate voraciously, not forgetting to flash a radiant smile at the camera.

"Dude, look how happy I am, I’m well-fed, well-clothed, I have a house to live in, and now I can even make a little money online, it’s really enough for me."

"My daily expenses are less than one dollar, and I can even save a little extra for when I catch a cold and need money for medicine; I’m very content."

"Speaking of which, dude, if you haven’t played Elden Ring, I really recommend you get it—it’s really fun. Not only does it bring in some income for me, but the game itself is also exceptionally well-made!"

Watching the optimistic young man on the screen, chatting away to him, Ke Jin sighed softly.

Heroes can be found among ordinary people.

...

After listening to Ke Jin’s brief narrative.

Qiao Yuan’s eyes had already reddened.

Compared to her own life, which was by no means unhappy, she still found herself worrying every day over very trivial matters.

"Material wealth can’t reflect the strength of a person’s soul; it’s the mindset that does, and in this respect, I fall far short of him," Qiao Yuan choked back tears, wiped her eyes, and then looked to Ke Jin, "Mr. Ke, I want to donate to him, is that okay?"

Ke Jin waved his hand.

"You don’t need to donate; I’ve already spoken to the Number One Player’s Love Foundation. The foundation will closely follow this young man from now on and send him clothes, rice, oil, meat, vegetables, fruit, and the like at regular intervals."

"Our Number One Player has come this far thanks to the support of our players, and whenever a player from our community needs help, the foundation will provide the greatest level of support."

"So you don’t need to worry. When I get busy, you focus on managing the company well for me."

"Okay!" Qiao Yuan smiled through her tears and sniffled.

But this time, the smile that curled up on her lips was filled with the pride of being a staffer at Number One Player.

After giving Ke Jin a brief update on the follow-up work, Qiao Yuan left the office in her high heels.

The moment she closed the door, her curiosity got the better of her.

She sneakily took out the greeting card Ke Jin gave her for another look.

After all, it was unusual for the boss to personally write a message for a fan, as it was typically handled by the creative department.

She really wanted to know what kind of message Mr. Ke would write to such a strong-willed young man.

She took out an exquisitely small greeting card from the folder and looked closely.

The smile on Qiao Yuan’s face couldn’t help but widen, revealing a look of relief.

On the card, there was only one simple and clear sentence.

"Even if the guidance has been shattered, please become the King of Elden."

————

"Bang!"

A pair of small, fair hands slammed onto Ke Jin’s office desk.

"Brother! Let’s go, go, go! Time to leave!"

Ke Yu burst into Ke Jin’s office right after work, urging him impatiently.

"What’s up?" Ke Jin looked up.

"Just got a call, Xinlin and Laina are back~ Let’s go pick them up at the airport~" Ke Yu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Ke Jin then remembered.

Xinlin had gone on behalf of Jianglin University to an international collegiate translation competition a while back.

She had been away for a month.

Now that she was just back in Jianglin and the plane was still taxiing on the ground, Ke Yu couldn’t wait to see her dear friend.

"Don’t you have something you wanted to ask her?"

"By the way, that little rich girl who’s after you, she waited a whole month without getting a response from you, you’re really something..." Ke Yu murmured under her breath.

"Leaving her hanging for so long."

Ke Jin felt speechless.

What was he to do?

All the readers who have been following along would know.

I, Mr. Ke, am not good with words.

In my past life, I was just a gaming addict.

In this life, I’m unfortunately still glued to developing games.

Through two lifetimes, I devoted all my achievements to gaming, truly not skilled at responding to girls.

The most recent initiative I took with a girl was traced back to online romance in LOL last life, where I had helped a girl level up her account.

But I got bitterly scammed out of 15 yuan without even seeing her photo.

So, Mr. Ke set a rule for himself.

Scammed by an online love for fifteen bucks, heart sealed and locked, no more love to conduct.

Of course, people die, but rules can change, right?

What does the rule left by Ke Jin in the last life have to do with me, Mr. Ke, in this life?

Being ardently pursued by a younger sister is definitely a good thing.

Moreover, that Yuan... what’s her name again?

Genshin Impact?

Forget it, the name’s not important.

What’s important is that the little rich girl is Number One Player’s number one die-hard fan, supporting my games all the way, although most of the time with misguided good intentions.

And she’s by no means less attractive than Baby Yu.

You should know that Ke Yu’s looks have been certified by seven aunts and eight uncles, all male classmates from childhood to adulthood, and every single employee in the company.

A billion eyes have appraised and identified her as a pure, sunny, and cheerful beauty.

And that Miss Yuan of the Genshin Impact doesn’t fall short in any aspect compared to Baby Yu.

And she’s even pursuing Mr. Ke.

Mr. Ke’s got to be honest, his heart is a little moved, okay!

But on Lin Bao’s side, Mr. Ke also can’t let go.

"Hiss... how did it suddenly fast forward to ’they are both my wings’?" Ke Jin inhaled softly.

"What? You want to eat chicken wings?" Ke Yu asked, blinking her eyes.

"Are you putting on a comedy sketch for Chinese New Year Gala here? Less of your cringe! Even fish from the Cambrian period would freeze from that cold joke," Ke Jin gave his younger sister the middle finger.

"Lalalala." Ke Yu playfully stuck out her tongue, then added: "Okay, stop worrying. When in doubt, just find my sister Xinlin, she can definitely give you a sound analysis."

In Ke Yu’s view, her older brother was just anxious about the situation with Yuan Qiaoqing.

But the thoughts in Mr. Ke’s mind were not as simple as seeking advice.

He was a bit wicked, really.

He wanted to use ’being pursued by other girls’ as a way to test Xinlin’s reaction.

To see if Lin Bao had any say about him.

If, after hearing about it, she remains completely unfazed, even eagerly helps him analyze the situation,

Then it could only mean they weren’t meant to be.

Xinlin has no feelings for him, and there’d be no need for him to keep on thinking about her.

But if she reacts, gets agitated, slamming the table and blurting out, "That’s not possible! Such things, absolutely not!"

Or directly looking teary-eyed, crying up a storm like a runny egg, lips pursed into waves, choking and saying: "I can’t lose you, wuwuwu, my Ke Jin! Stay by my side!"

Hiss!!!

Wouldn’t that imply... hehe.

"Are you moving or not? Your drool’s nearly reaching the desk, who dreams in broad daylight?" Though unsure what scene her older brother was fantasizing, Ke Yu, guessing it was nothing good, gave him a fierce glare with her playful intuition.

"Let’s go, let’s go!" Regaining his senses, Ke Jin immediately threw on his coat, grabbed the car keys, and led his younger sister straight downstairs.

Departure!

Off to the airport to pick up Lin Bao!
