Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Jiang Xu: Nuonuo, close your
eyes, I have a reward for youj

By the late night, these five spoiled rich kids had each recharged another five hundred thousand to their accounts.
Good heavens.
Jiang Xu desperately controlled himself from laughing out loud.
He was barely able to keep a straight face.
Who said it was hard to earn a man’s money?
in one night, these five people alone had charged five million to the “Martial
Universe” game.
Indeed, money was coming in at a fast rate.
No wonder so many big companies were eager to get into this line of work.
This was a low-cost web game.
It had been online for several days, and there were only just over a thousand players.
Only two servers had been launched so far.
To make the data look good, Jiang Xu had even arranged for many ‘bot players, in the world chat window, messages asking to form teams, selling equipment, and buying equipment would pop up from time to time.
“By the way,” Jiang Xu suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhang
Lu, “Big Brother Zhang, do you have any friends? Invite more of them to play the game.
After all, games are more fun when more people are playing.
“Oh right, I didn’t think of that until you mentioned it.” Zhang Lu slapped his
forehead, “I’ll ask in the gamers group.”
“I’ll ask in the group, too.”
These veteran players all had their gamers groups.
Jiang Xu became excited at once.
Those who could play with them definitely wouldn’t be ordinary people.
Even if not everyone was as wealthy as them, the majority should still be willing to recharge several thousand or several tens of thousands into the game.
The few of them greeted the gaming group.
Most were night owls, and it was winter break, so many college students were staying up all night to play games.
Soon, over a hundred indicated that they would join the game with them.
Jiang Xu smiled, “Then let’s level up a bit more, and then go defeat that BOSS.”
They had failed to defeat a particular BOSS over a dozen times.
“Will this BOSS drop any good items?” Zhang Lu rubbed his hands together, excited.
“If we’re lucky, yes.” Jiang Xu nodded.
Just by looking at him, you could tell he was a serious gamer.
Jiang Xu drank some Red Bull and shook his head.
He rarely stayed up late, so he was feeling drowsy.
The others were still in a state of excitement, vigorously typing on their keyboards.
Unexpectedly, these few people managed to bring in over a hundred new players, making the game much livelier.
And many of these newcomers found the game fun and invited their friends to play, too.
As for how much money was recharged, it wasn’t clear yet. He would have to check the backend data when he got home.
Jiang Xu came up with some new ideas.
He needed to create some leaderboards.
A level board, a combat power board, a BOSS kill count board, a legendary equipment board, and a recharge amount board.
And… a ‘wife’ board.
Jiang Xu planned to introduce a new feature.
In the game, players could marry many other players, or even NPCs.
Rich players enjoyed being number one.
When they saw someone ranked above them, they would certainly be upset.
And this was when they would start spending money.
These spenders would then start competing, and Jiang Xu would reap the benefits.
Initially, Jiang Xu had no plans to advertise.
But looking at it now, he had to come up with a good plan for promotion.
He needed to publicize the game and attract more players.
With too few average players, how could the big spenders dominate or enjoy themselves?
After playing until past eight in the morning, they finally called it a day.
All of them appeared fatigued and needed to rest.
Exiting the Internet cafe, Jiang Xu saw them off to their cars, then prepared to head home.
As he turned around, he bumped into a soft body.
Instinctively, he steadied the figure.
Softness and fragrance filled his arms. Jiang Xu recognized the familiar scent on the other person.
He looked down.
“Nuonuo, how did you get here?”
The girl was wearing a tailored down coat today, paired with pink fluffy pants, looking indescribably cute.
An Nuonuo stepped away from Jiang Xu’s arms, a little shy as she raised both her hands, each holding a lunch box. “I looked up online last night what one should eat when pulling an all-nighter.
So, I made some wolfberry and date chicken soup and also some chive dumplings, eat them while they are hot.”
Jiang Xu was taken aback: “Chicken soup takes a lot of time to simmer, what time did you get up?”
An Nuonuo blinked: “Fiv… Six-thirty.”
Jiang Xu: “What time at five?”
An Nuonuo had intended to lie.
But upon meeting Jiang Xu’s gaze that seemed capable of seeing through everything, she ended up answering honestly: “Five-ten…” “You should not be doing this next time. What if you run into some troublemakers?” Jiang Xu said solemnly: “You must not do this again, do you understand?”
Getting up at five in deep winter to go to the vegetable market.
Such risks were especially alarming considering it was a delicate and infinitely endearing young girl who took them.
“I understand.” An Nuonuo lowered her head, feeling somewhat wronged.
Jiang Xu instantly softened.
He drew her into an embrace around her shoulder and headed to the parking area: “Come on, let’s go home. By the way, how did you get here?
“I took a taxi.”
“Hmm, that’s acceptable.”
Jiang Xu sat in the passenger seat while An Nuonuo drove.
It was her first time driving an SUV, and she seemed a bit unfamiliar.
Jiang Xu: “My car is quite large, bear with it.”
He took a bite of the chive dumpling. It was delicious, and there was even soup inside.
The dumplings An Nuonuo made tasted excellent.
Especially eating one in the dead of winter, it felt like heaven.
After finishing all three dumplings, he began to open the other container. The rich aroma of chicken soup hit his nose, and Jiang Xu’s tiredness evaporated instantly.
The chicken soup was very dense and generous with its ingredients. Once An Nuonuo became familiar with driving, she got smoother. Having eaten and drunk his fill, seeing An Nuonuo drive so steadily, Jiang Xu closed his eyes to rest.
He fell asleep soon after.
About an hour later, they reached home.
An Nuonuo parked the car.
Seeing that Jiang Xu was still asleep, she didn’t have the heart to wake him. She took off her coat, moving gently, she covered Jiang Xu with it.
She was wearing a fitting white knitted sweater underneath, which accentuated her figure.
The car was parked under a corner of a wall, sheltered from the wind.
An Nuonuo slightly lowered the windows of both the driver and the passenger seats.
Then she turned sideways, looking intently at the sleeping Jiang Xu.
As she kept on looking, she seemed to remember something, a blush crept onto her face.
“Hmm…”
Jiang Xu stretched lazily, his eyes fluttering open, feeling refreshed. Then he noticed the coat, carrying An Nuonuo’s scent, draped over him.
He paused: “How long have I been asleep?”
An Nuonuo whispered: “It’s only one o’clock now, you can sleep a bit longer.
Jiang Xu stared.
Had he been asleep for five to six hours?
He couldn’t believe it: “You’ve just been sitting in the car the whole time?”
An Nuonuo nodded: “Yes.”
“We’re already home, why didn’t you wake me up, you silly girl.
An Nuonuo explained somewhat awkwardly: “I was afraid of disturbing you.’ Jiang Xu was deeply moved.
This girl, really, he could hardly find the words to describe her.
Jiang Xu said with deep emotion, “Nuonuo, close your eyes, I have a reward for you….”
