Chapter 407: To Cooperate With Your Play, I Shall Feign Ignorance (1)

<111111>: “Since you have already said that I won’t believe me, why are you still telling it to me?”

s.h.i.+ Yao: “…”

What should I do? I really, really want to sew that vicious mouth of Mister Numbers up!

<111111>: “But well, it’s my hobby to listen to unbelievable things!”

s.h.i.+ Yao: “…”

Did I misinterpret what Mister Numbers said? Was he actually not trying to put me down?

<111111>: “Quick, don’t keep me in suspense…”

Given how earnestly curious Mister Numbers is, I suppose that it really was just a pa.s.sing remark earlier. He didn’t mean anything much by it…

So, s.h.i.+ Yao finally began speaking, “You see, I bought an inkstone at the store you recommended to you. Do you want to guess how much I spent on it?”

…

On the other side of the phone, when Lin Jiage heard s.h.i.+ Yao’s question, he nearly instinctively blurted out “200?”, but before he could say it out loud, s.h.i.+ Yao’s voice had sounded once more, “You definitely won’t be able to guess it!”

You must be kidding me! I was the one who set the price of the inkstone, so how could I not know how much it cost?

Nevertheless, despite having such thoughts in his mind, Lin Jiage still swallowed the “200?” that was already at the tip of his tongue and replied with a “50,000?” instead.

s.h.i.+ Yao: “As expected of a tyc.o.o.n. The first figure you come up with is already in the ten thousand…”

A song that had the lyrics of ‘To cooperate with your play, I shall feign ignorance[1]’ surfaced in Lin Jiage’s mind, then he said, “Then… 5000?”

s.h.i.+ Yao shook her head and said, “That’s an entire semester worth of my allowance.”

Just what should I become in order to dance along with your play[2], Lin Jiage sang these words in the depths of his heart.

She was the one who asked him to guess, so why was he getting shot down here?

Women sure are wilful… But well, I’m willing to go along with her wilfulness anyway.

So, Lin Jiage continued guessing, “3000? 1800? 1000? 800?”

“Forget it, forget it! I knew that you wouldn’t be able to get it!” As if a teacher finally giving up on a student, she finally gave away the answer, “Actually, I spent only 200 RMB on it!”

“Oh, what an unbelievable price!” Lin Jiage said these words with an agitated tone while calmly sniping down an enemy with his rifle.

s.h.i.+ Yao: “Hah, that’s already shocking for you, isn’t it? Well, what I’m going to tell you next will really shock the living daylights out of you! Do you know how much that 200 RMB inkstone is worth?”

I do… but… It’s because I love you that I chose to put on an act and fulfill you[3]…

After singing this line, Lin Jiage asked, “How much does it cost?”

He thought that s.h.i.+ Yao would make him guess like earlier on, but who could have thought that the latter would actually excitedly tell him the price, “It’s worth 200,000 RMB!”

Ah? She’s not going along with the script…

Lin Jiage pondered for a moment before exclaiming, “Wow, that’s incredible!”

Maybe it was due to his compliment getting to her head, but s.h.i.+ Yao continued boasting gleefully, “Isn’t that so? I think that I’m really formidable too! I managed to buy a 200,000 RMB inkstone with just 200 RMB? Who in the world would be able to do something like that? I really suspect if I have been born with some kind of cheat key, that’s why I was able to strike the jackpot!”

Okay, as long as you’re happy.

Everything you say is right.

Anyway, I’m the only one who knows the truth. I won’t tell you that your cheat key is actually named Lin Jiage.

Lin Jiage allowed s.h.i.+ Yao to continue boasting on without interrupting her.

…

“… Aiyo, what can I do? I’m simply blessed with such great luck that things just go my way. Aren’t you envious?”

Hugging onto a gun, s.h.i.+ Yao followed behind Lin Jiage and entered the Safe Zone while bragging endlessly.

It was just that before she could finish her words, a message suddenly arrived on her phone. She was in the midst of controlling her avatar, so she accidentally tapped onto it. There, she saw a video…
