Going back to daytime.

It was Ning Xiaoyu’s second time taking promotional photos and she was already familiar with it. After arriving at the location, she remained at the mercy of the stylist as soon as she entered the dressing room. The stylist this time wasn’t as talkative as the previous time but her skill was equally good.

Her styling was completed much faster.

The previous look, although plain, was actually full of details and a lot of effort was spent on her whole body. It took the stylist an hour or two just to fix her hair. But this time the styling was truly simple.

Promotional photos for casual single player games didn’t need to be all bells and whistles but must stay to its nature.

It’s all about looking relaxed and letting the people who saw it know that this game wasn’t hard at all! A really laid-back casual game worthy of Buddhist players!

When taking photos, Ning Xiaoyu’s long hair was hanging down loosely, giving her an appearance like she just woke up. She had on a pair of eyeglasses and there was still a hint of drowsiness in her eyes. Her whole person was languid and casual.

She was wearing a fluffy pink cartoon pajamas and a salted fish headband on her head while a recently popular large green cabbage was in her arms. She sat casually on the bed, her whole body full of leisure and idleness.

Outside the window, the morning sunlight lazily shone in, illuminating the entire room.

The bed looked very cozy, piled with all kinds of vegetables and fruits that could be produced in the game, and there were some cute and cuddly animals, such as cats, raccoons, and puppies.

These small animals were NPC’s in the game which could help players collect plants at regular basis.

The floor was even covered with all kinds of plush fruit toys.

It has that feeling of warmth in winter.

The promotional photos were taken quickly. Ning Xiaoyu didn’t need to adjust her state of mind or find poses to take this kind of lazy photos. She just acted like herself.

Therefore, the photographer clicked a few times and immediately got a few shots that satisfied him.

After getting the photos, it would be edited and the name of the game would be added, as well as the phrase ‘Really relaxing, no grinding or paying, if you don’t believe it, come and give the game a try’.

The game company was a small one. However, the boss was a genuine second-generation rich man who wasn’t short of money. The company was currently on the rise in its career.

They chose Ning Xiaoyu as their spokesperson not because it was cheap to hire her, but because they saw her potential to become popular in the future, so they considered it as an early investment.

The company has predicted the reaction of netizens after the promotional photos were released.

Either netizens have a mediocre response or it might become slightly popular and attract some Buddhist players. But of course, it was more likely that the promotional photos wouldn’t make a splash and go unnoticed.

In short, their expectations weren’t high and being able to attract some player was already fine.

However, they never expected that it would go viral.

This was the biggest surprise since the establishment of the company.

【Too salty, really too salty. I want to try such a salty（idle） game too. （Extremely loud）】

【The endorser is well chosen. The promotional photo is attracting passersby.】

【Really no charge or grinding? I don’t believe it, so I have to play it! Dog head.jpg】

【I don’t know why but this promotional photo really hit me. The plush pajamas, plush toys, and that plush salted fish headband are perfect!】

【Brothers and sisters, don’t think too much and just do it. If it’s not fun then uninstall it and don’t give a dime!】

For games, download and play it first and if it’s not fun, then just uninstall it. It’s such a simple thing.

As a result, those who saw this promotional photo on the hot search and were successfully attracted by it went to the official website to download the game.

At this time, Ning Xiaoyu, who was notified by the person in charge of the game, forwarded the Weibo post of TB Company, adding, 【It’s fun.】

Ning Xiaoyu had already upgraded to level 5 without much trouble and could already create buildings.

There were many ways to play the game. In addition to growing crops, players could also raise livestock and build infrastructures.

Players could play however they want.

There were various ways to enjoy the game and also diamonds giveaway every day. It takes no more than three minutes to play which really save time and effort.

Netizens poured into Ning Xiaoyu’s Weibo howling.

Suddenly, netizens keenly noticed that someone forwarded Ning Xiaoyu’s repost.

When they discovered the person who forwarded it, netizens fell into shock.

「Lu Jingdu v: Downloaded. The game is good.」

【???】

【! Something’s wrong with you?】

【Is your account stolen?】

【Your helping to promote it for free?】

【Is Brother playing it too?】

【Even the movie king said the game is good, so it must definitely be true. I’m rushing!】

Because of Lu Jingdu’s friendly forwarding, the number of downloads for this casual farming game became astonishingly high in a short period of time.

【Brother knows the owner of the game company?】

【They probably don’t know each other.】

【Then he forwarded it for Ning Xiaoyu?】

【Tsk, tsk, tsk…… I don’t know why but suddenly got a little excited!】

【Ahhhhh, Xiao Yu’s game promotional photos are out, when will Qingxin’s be released?】

Netizens scratched their heads in curiosity, but unfortunately neither of the two parties responded.

Ning Xiaoyu was lying on the bed at this moment, busy playing games.

She didn’t pay attention to what was going on in Weibo after forwarding the official post, but even if she didn’t, she still knew what was happening.

【Love System: Wuuwuuwuuu, Girl, today’s sugar really exceeds the limit. The movie king actually forwarded your repost and advertised the game! What did the game company done to deserve this?! Isn’t it just a shameless attempt to take advantage of you?】

Ning Xiaoyu, who was caught up with growing crops, casually hummed a couple of times.

The love system had a dreamy face. 【It’s the first time I got pure sugar. Awsl^[1]à wǒ sǐ le – Ah, I’m dead. System is happy.】
 
———

The next day, when Ning Xiaoyu went down to eat breakfast, the way the other guests looked at her became even more strange.

Ning Xiaoyu knew what they were thinking. It was nothing more than the fact that Lu Jingdu forwarded her post last night and helped her advertised for the game for free. They must be thinking that there was something going on between the two of them.

The truth was that apart from that one time where she saved his life, there’s really nothing between him and her.

The love system counted on its imaginary fingers, the first time was a life-saving grace and the second time was helping him block the drugged wine. Its CP’s bond had been deepening.

After breakfast, the director announced their next itinerary.

“This time, we will go to Jiangnan to experience the local customs and traditions as well as hear the soft speech of the Wu people. Our trip is tentatively scheduled for three days. Guests should prepare your belongings. The flight is at 3 pm and we will gather here before 1 pm.”

When Ning Xiaoyu went back to her room to pack her luggage, she met Ning Yuwei who was blocking the door.

Because there was no camera at that place, there was no need to worry about breaking her persona in front of her fans. Thus, Ning Yuwei no longer maintained a graceful smile but said with a sarcastic face, “Making him forward your post. Sister, you look uncontentious on the surface, but I didn’t expect your methods behind the scenes to be quite powerful.”

Ning Yuwei spoke as if Ning Xiaoyu had used some shady trick.

Ning Xiaoyu was too lazy to talk to Ning Yuwei.

In her opinion, Ning Yuwei was furious because she’s incompetent.

To speak in online terms, Ning Yuwei was now jealous of her but was unable to get rid of her, thus she could only run her mouth.

But while Ning Xiaoyu could put up with it, the love system couldn’t.

【Girl, you and the movie king are a match made in heaven, why will you resort to tricks? And what does she mean you’re uncontentious on the surface? You’re clearly uncontentious, a salted fish that makes this system annoyed! Can you bear this person being sarcastic to you? You must find it unbearable. At this time, you can——

A: Act like a green tea（Girl, aren’t you good at it? Come on! Little green tea!）.

B: Pretend to be innocent using a white lotus^[2]someone who is pure in appearance but opposite inside tone.

C: Tell her that it was the movie king’s own initiative, not yours.】

All three options actually seemed quite tea-like to Ning Xiaoyu.

As an indifferent salted fish king, after seeing the A and B option, she expressed sincere doubts, “So, what’s the difference between green tea and white lotus?”

The love system pondered for a while before replying, 【Both are capable of causing public outrage among girls, but green tea tends to be passive-aggressive while white lotus tends to pretend to be weak and innocent. It depends on which one the host prefers. Of course, if host wants, it doesn’t matter if you select multiple options in the future.】

Select multiple options?

It means she could choose ABC, or AB, AC, BC, etc.?

Not happening. Single selection was troublesome enough, but multi-selection?

Just let her lie flat.

Ning Xiaoyu immediately rejected the proposal and chose option C.

Whether it was green tea or white lotus, it takes effort, so she’d rather not.

Thus, with a deadpan face and flat tone, she said, “It’s Lu Jingdu who took the initiative, it has nothing to do with me.”

Although Ning Xiaoyu clearly spoke in a tone that couldn’t be saltier, her words still succeeded in making Ning Yuwei’s expression instantly change.

Ning Yuwei was so angry that her face turned pale. “Are you showing off to me?”

Ning Xiaoyu continued to have a deadpan face, too lazy to make any facial expressions. She directly took out a scumbag’s all-purpose sentence, “Think what you want.”

She just wanted to get this conversation over with as soon as possible.

Wouldn’t it better to go back to her room and lie down?

Why did she have to chat with Ning Yuwei there in the middle of winter?!

She didn’t want to waste time at all!

Taking advantage of Ning Yuwei’s lack of response, Ning Xiaoyu was about to swipe her card to enter the door when she inadvertently saw a familiar figure standing on the corner of the corridor.

It was probably because she and Ning Yuwei were talking so the other party didn’t continue to walk over and planned to turn back.

However, from this distance, the other party very likely heard everything she just said.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t feel any embarrassment, after all, she was telling the truth.

The love system was incredibly excited. 【Ahhhhh, Girl, the movie king heard what you said just now. What will his reaction be?!】

Seeing that he had been discovered, Lu Jingdu did not turn around and continue to avoid but nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I forwarded the post on my own. Xiao Yu has nothing to do with it.”

It was fine if Lu Jingdu didn’t add the following sentence, but with it, Ning Yuwei’s entire body wobbled.

Was this still the person in her memory who never took the initiative to do anything for girls?

So, even if it was Lu Jingdu, if he wanted to be nice to someone, he would take the initiative to take that step? As for the others, just wait for him to approach?

Before Ning Yuwei could react, Ning Xiaoyu had already gestured bye to Lu Jingdu, swiped her card, then closed the door with a bang. The entire action was completed in one go, lasting no more than three seconds.

Warm big bed, here I come!
