Chapter: Chapter 270
“I’m saying, aren’t we a bit too eye-catching dressed like this?” Letycia felt a little cowardly, sensing the gazes coming from all directions.
Honestly, she was a bit afraid of crowded environments.
“After all, we’re both so beautiful, it’s normal to attract attention, isn’t it?” Bai Ling found it quite normal. She had already prepared herself to be the center of attention when she chose to go out dressed like this.
Even if they went out without dressing up, she and Letycia would still be the prettiest ones on the street, let alone today when they had put in effort and maximized their features.
If they still couldn’t become the focus of everyone’s attention, Bai Ling might have to question if the bystanders’ eyes were blind.
Besides, being watched wasn’t a bad thing, was it?
At least Letycia took her hand proactively and leaned against her, which was a huge win.
Feeling the slight tremor from the girl’s soft, tender hand, Bai Ling could only say that her decision today was incredibly correct.
She couldn’t usually see such a cute Letycia.
“Be brave, you are the Demon King,” Bai Ling whispered to Letycia.
“Can’t the Demon King be afraid of crowds? I’m telling you, that’s a stereotype!” Letycia retorted.
Being watched by so many people was really unbearable for her. Let alone being the Demon King, she wouldn’t face so many people when she was the Demon King.
Unlike ancient human emperors, Demon Kings didn’t have court sessions. Generally, officials would send reports to the Demon King’s palace, and Letycia would decide whether to approve or reject them.
When summoning, the number of people summoned at one time would not be too large, at most about ten people, and Letycia could handle this number.
But now, there were at least hundreds or thousands of eyes watching!
“It’s okay, I’m here,” Bai Ling gave a very reliable smile, and she was indeed reliable. “It’s almost lunchtime, how about we go eat lunch first?”
“I’ll pick the place,” Letycia said quickly upon hearing the word “lunch.”
Her main purpose for coming out with Bai Ling this time was this lunch, or rather, the restaurant for lunch.
Seeing Letycia so proactive, Bai Ling had an expression of everything being under control. She took out a flyer and asked softly, “Are you planning to go here?”
The flyer clearly read, “xxx Collaboration Hotly Underway, Enjoy Discounts Upon Entry…”
Not only that, but the flyer also featured a cute girl in a maid outfit, and this character was extremely familiar to Letycia. Wasn’t this the heroine in the game?
Well, to say she was the heroine, she was actually the first character the protagonist met, and the character players would definitely get on their first gacha pull in the game.
She had good strength and high颜值, so her popularity among players was naturally not low, making her the signboard girl was a very normal decision.
“Ahem, I just like the food at this restaurant,” Letycia said with some guilt, averting her gaze.
Bai Ling’s expression became strange for a moment. Wasn’t this just a very ordinary chain fast-food restaurant?
It was the one that went crazy online once a week.
“Speaking of which, today is also Crazy Friday.” Bai Ling said with a smile. “Since you want to save me money, I’ll gratefully accept.”
“Tch, I wasn’t thinking of saving you money. I’m going to buy one of every collaboration set later,” Letycia said with a fierce grin. “You just wait to go bankrupt.”
Her actions didn’t elicit any reaction from Bai Ling, but they made passersby stop and marvel at the girl’s cuteness.
“Hahaha, then I’ll wait for cute Qianqian to eat me broke,” Bai Ling laughed heartily. If eating could make her bankrupt, she would have been bankrupt long ago.
Those collaboration sets would probably end up in her stomach.
With Letycia’s appetite, one set would be enough.
“Heh,” Letycia sneered twice, “Damn rich person.”
Soon, the two arrived outside the restaurant. Since it was a weekday, there weren’t many customers in the store… probably.
Looking at the crowded scene inside the store, Letycia’s expression froze a bit. She hadn’t expected a collaboration event to make the business so good.
Two standees were erected outside the restaurant. One was the heroine they had just seen, and the other was the white-haired girl that Letycia was a big fan of.
These two were the most popular characters in this game, one with the title of heroine, and the other with both appearance and strength excelling, with a large number of players who missed this character eagerly awaiting her rerun for a long, long time.
But the official was evil, always refusing to release this girl, and instead kept increasing her screen time in the plot, making players stomp their feet, wishing they could travel back in time to slap their past selves for not drawing her.
“Ladies, please wait a moment!”
Just as Letycia was about to push the door open and enter the restaurant, a voice from behind made her stop.
Turning around, Letycia saw a young lady holding a microphone and a young man carrying a camera behind her.
What is this? A TV show?
“Is there something you need?” Bai Ling stepped forward to block Letycia.
Seeing Bai Ling’s protective stance, the young lady quickly explained that she was an employee of the game’s production company and was waiting there to record a few blessing videos from players.
“Oh right, it seems like the anniversary is coming up soon,” Letycia clapped her palm. This game held a live broadcast every year for its anniversary, and there would definitely be a few blessing messages from players during the broadcast.
She used to be just an onlooker, but now, could she become one of the onlookers being watched?
It felt pretty good.
“Oh, and there are small gifts after recording the video,” the young lady said with a smile. “Character plush pillows, a set of original art books, and lots of merchandise.”
Letycia’s eyes lit up more and more. Many of these items were not for sale, and she was tempted, really tempted.
But Bai Ling remained calm. She looked at the young lady and asked seriously, “But how do we know you’re not a scammer?”
This girl is so cool, the young lady thought to herself. However, Bai Ling’s suspicion was indeed reasonable, as there were quite a few scammers these days.
Fortunately, she had a way to prove she wasn’t a scammer.
Taking out her ID card from her pocket, the young lady smiled and said, “Look, this is my ID.”
Glancing at the ID card, Bai Ling nodded. It seemed this young lady was indeed from the game company.
Having confirmed the other party’s identity, Bai Ling had no objections. If Letycia was willing to record a blessing short film, she could let her.
When going out to play, happiness was the most important thing.
“I just need to say a few words of blessing, right?” Letycia asked excitedly.
“That’s right, but don’t say anything too crazy, otherwise, it might not pass even if we record it,” the young lady warned.
This task of recording anniversary blessing short films was not being done by her alone. In fact, there were many people doing this in the city center. During the anniversary live broadcast, the game company would select a few of these short films to play.
So, it wasn’t guaranteed to be shown just because it was filmed, but the young lady believed that with Letycia’s appearance, as long as she didn’t say anything too inappropriate, she would definitely be able to pass.
“Don’t worry, I’m a professional,” Letycia gave a confident smile. “Shall we start now?”
“Yes,” the young lady handed the microphone to Letycia and gestured to the cameraman behind her. “When I say ‘start,’ little sister can begin speaking.”
“Okay,” Letycia took a deep breath and began to gather her emotions.
Then, she turned to Bai Ling and said, “You stay away from me, I’m doing important business here.”
Bai Ling’s face immediately showed a hint of grievance. What did she do wrong standing here? “I’m just standing here, I won’t talk or move.”
While that was true, Letycia just didn’t want to appear in the same video with Bai Ling.
“It’s okay, rather, it would be better if both ladies filmed this short film together,” the young lady promptly offered support. One beautiful young lady versus two beautiful young ladies, the latter would definitely be better. “Our gifts are given per person.”
The gifts were given per person, meaning if Bai Ling came to film together, she would get two gifts?
Seeing Letycia’s expression become conflicted, Bai Ling immediately gave her a push, “I’ll give you my gift too.”
“Alright, you just say ‘wish the game better and better’ with me later.” Under the temptation of the limited-edition gift, Letycia immediately betrayed her previous stance. So what if she filmed a short film with Bai Ling? It was completely fine.
After being easily swayed, Letycia looked at the camera and prepared herself once more.
This time, there were no more accidents. With the young lady’s “start,” Letycia showed a very sweet smile and delivered her blessing with great emotion.
Her professionalism stunned both Bai Ling and the young lady beside her. If they didn’t know that Letycia was just grabbed at the last minute, they might have really thought Letycia was an insider, an expensive insider.
After finishing her part, Letycia waited for Bai Ling to speak, but after waiting for a while, Bai Ling didn’t react. She turned her head and found Bai Ling staring blankly.
Good heavens, what was this girl doing?
Raising her small fist, Letycia jumped up and hit Bai Ling on the head, “Your turn!”
“Oh, oh, sorry,” Bai Ling said sheepishly, brought back to reality by the punch. “Can we re-shoot? I was stunned just now.”
It couldn’t be helped. Bai Ling had never seen Letycia smile so sweetly before. Although she knew it was just acting this time, it was truly beautiful.
Normally, Letycia’s face would also have a faint smile, but that smile was too faint to be noticed.
At other times, Letycia’s smiles were mostly cold smiles, and only when she was genuinely happy would she show a more obvious smile, but that smile was nothing compared to the current one, like a dim glow compared to the bright moon in the sky.
Completely incomparable.
See, not only was she stunned, but the young lady was also stunned.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, little sister is too cute, it’s normal to be stunned,” the young lady also quickly said. Re-recording wasn’t a big problem.
If this blessing short film was submitted, as long as the people in the company weren’t fools, it would definitely pass.
And every adopted short film was a bonus, and with the thought of cute little money, the young lady was full of energy.
“Okay, then let’s do it again. Don’t mess up this time,” Letycia rubbed her face and showed the same brilliant smile.
“Start!”
After reciting her lines in a heartfelt tone, Letycia heard Bai Ling’s monotonous voice.
Hiss, can’t this girl add a little emotion?
Letycia really wanted to jump up and punch Bai Ling again. While her emotions were exploding, Bai Ling’s lines were delivered without any emotion, as if she was being forced to read them.
But who insisted on coming over? It was Bai Ling herself. And she came over but didn’t perform well. This girl was really asking for a beating.
If the shooting hadn’t ended, Letycia would have already thrown a punch.
Anyway, Miss Bai had thick skin and flesh, her soft little fists wouldn’t cause any impact.
Finally, after a blessing speech devoid of emotion, the short film shoot ended.
As soon as the shooting ended, Letycia began to criticize Bai Ling. “I’m saying, can you add some emotional fluctuations when you read your lines? Yours was so dry, it didn’t sound good at all.”
“I haven’t even played that game, so I can’t get into the mood,” Bai Ling defended herself with a wronged expression. “Besides, emotions aren’t that important, are they?”
“Very important, extremely important. You should honestly go to that side, and I’ll film a segment by myself,” Letycia said imposingly with her hands on her hips.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two girls becoming increasingly tense, the young lady quickly interrupted, “It’s okay, it’s okay, this lady’s performance is already very good.”
“I think it’s very bad,” Letycia did not agree with the young lady’s words. “Oh right, how will the rewards be distributed?”
Although Bai Ling’s performance was poor, compared to this trivial matter, the small gift was more important.
“Can you tell me your game character’s UID? If your filmed short film is selected, there will be a mysterious gift,” the young lady said to Letycia. “For the filming reward, we will send an email to your account later. You can click on it to fill in your shipping address.”
