"Shall we initiate the trigger status for the Level Three upgrade mission?" Gu Zhiqi’s indifferent response had barely fallen when she heard Chubby Chiu’s eager voice in her mind.
Gu Zhiqi’s footsteps paused, her expression complex, as she continued the conversation with Chubby Chiu in her mind, "Do you think I look like someone who can afford nine hundred million right now?"
Keeping an intelligent pet is an expensive affair, especially with a gold-sinking pet like Chubby Chiu.
To awaken to Level One required spending nine million, Level Two required ninety million, and Level Three would need nine hundred million, with subsequent upgrades requiring ten times more than the previous level.
Gu Zhiqi felt that she would have to maintain her status as a poor person for quite some time.
Chubby Chiu "..." seemed like agreeing but not quite.
"I’ll help you calculate it, Zhizhi~" Chubby Chiu said, activating its calculation function and running to help Gu Zhiqi check her balance.
Two seconds later, it spoke again: "Zhizhi, keep it up, you’re nearly seven billion short of nine hundred million~"
Gu Zhiqi "..." Thanks for the reminder.
"Zhizhi, we need to work even harder to earn money from now on." Chubby Chiu, looking at Gu Zhiqi’s balance, spoke with a touch of emotion.
"Into the phone." Since it was already in a Second-Level State, Gu Zhiqi didn’t want it chattering away in her mind.
"Zhizhi~" Chubby Chiu clearly didn’t want to go into the phone and could only coquettishly plead with Gu Zhiqi.
"Sigh~ fine, fine, I’ll go in. Only you would dare to find this Chiu bothersome."
In the end, Chubby Chiu sighed lightly, resignedly attaching itself to Gu Zhiqi’s phone.
"Ding dong, ding dong..."
A continuous stream of message notification sounds began chiming.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t think much of it and took out her phone to take a look. Seeing a friend who had suddenly appeared in her friend list and even topped it, with the nickname "First Jiu," Gu Zhiqi was silent.
[First Jiu: Hi, Zhizhi~]
[First Jiu: For easier contact, I added us as friends]
[First Jiu: Muah.gif]
[First Jiu: Flying kiss.gif]
[First Jiu: Crazy kiss.gif]
Great, her mind might be quiet, but now her phone was about to explode.
She silently put her phone on silent.
During her conversation with Chubby Chiu, Gu Zhiqi and Gu Yuluo had already walked to Yun Sen and Yun Yan’s room.
The door to Yun Sen and Yun Yan’s room was open. Gu Yuluo and Gu Zhiqi could be seen as they passed by their doorway.
Yun Sen caught sight of Gu Zhiqi in an instant, "Miss Gu, you’re awake?!"
His tone carried an excitement that was off the scale. He darted out of the room and stood in the hallway, his face alight with joy, looking at Gu Zhiqi and asking.
Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly, observing the dark mark on Yun Sen’s forehead, remaining silent.
How come after just one sleep, this guy had developed a dark aura between his brows?
Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to repay a favor?
She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Yun Sen, and asked lazily, "Are you leaving?"
A hint of surprise tinted Yun Sen’s eyes, "Miss Gu, how did you know?"
"Wait here." Gu Zhiqi said and turned, heading back to her room.
Seeing this, Gu Yuluo’s eyes flickered with curiosity, and she promptly followed Gu Zhiqi’s steps.
Gu Zhiqi seemed to move slowly, but her pace was surprisingly fast. By the time Gu Yuluo reached Gu Zhiqi’s room, Gu Zhiqi was already holding a pen, slightly bent over the desk, busy writing and drawing.
Gu Yuluo leaned against the doorway, watching her.
In less than half a minute, Gu Zhiqi finished writing. At the moment Gu Zhiqi put down the pen, Gu Yuluo distinctly saw a faint light flash across the paper.
Gu Yuluo thought she was seeing things and blinked.
