Chapter 75 The Peculiar New Reader
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Liuyi quickly checked his donation, which was a round object.
Once it's cashed out, it will be a semi-circular shape.
"Cashback, next time you deduct money, can we discuss it?" Lin Liuyi was heartbroken.
"What's wrong, host? I've done it exactly half the standard, as agreed." The system said proudly.
Yes, it is quite standard. Lin Liuyi looked at the ruby in his hand, which should have been a round ruby, but now it was only a hemisphere, which immediately reduced its aesthetic appeal.
That's right, the reward Lin Liuyi received this time was actually a ruby the size of a fist.
It's dazzlingly red, so bright and beautiful, like a burning fire!
Ahhh, it's so beautiful! Lin Liu wanted to scream the whole time!
After a long while, Lin Liuyi calmed down. She looked at the half gemstone and shook her head helplessly.
Such a beautiful gemstone, yet it was forcibly cut in half—what a waste! But since it's already like this, we can only accept reality.
She carefully tried to put the half of the gemstone away, thinking that perhaps she could find a craftsman to polish it into other jewelry.
Just then, my phone rang.
Lin Liuyi picked up his phone and saw that it was a video from Jin Huan.
Huh? Didn't this woman sign up for a variety show? Why are you contacting her now?
She hesitated for a moment, then answered the video call: "What's wrong, Huanhuan? Aren't you traveling?"
"Hey, Liu Yi, I have something I want to tell you." Jin Huan didn't answer her, but changed the subject instead.
"you say!"
"Could you lend me a million?"
Lin Liuyi stared at Jin Huan in the video on the other end of the line, her eyes darting around. "What's wrong? What happened to you? Did you get scammed? I told you to download the anti-fraud app, but you wouldn't listen!"
"I'm fine, hey, it's not a scam, just tell me if you'll lend it to me or not!" Jin Huan looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Are you really alright? Should I call the police for you?" Seeing Jin Huan's somewhat disappointed expression instead of being anxious when she heard her question, Lin Liuyi understood what was going on.
"Borrow, but you'll have to wait. I need to sell this before I can pay you!"
Before Lin Liuyi could even raise his hand holding the gem, he heard Jin Huan's cheers, "Yay, I won!"
"Sorry, Liu Yi, that was a task required by the production team. You had to say the word 'borrow' for me to win! But what did you say you were selling? Are you short of money? I have some left, I'll transfer it to you in a bit!" After cheering, Jin Huan came over to ask Lin Liu Yi. She was indeed her best friend, not one of those rival friends in the entertainment industry.
"It's this!" Lin Liuyi knew it, and then helplessly raised the gem in his hand.
"Glass? My God, it can't possibly be a ruby!" Jin Huan's eyes widened, and she brought her face right up to the screen.
Lin Liuyi happily showed her the gemstone from every angle, exclaiming, "It's so beautiful!"
Then another figure appeared on the screen. It was Xiao Yang, who had been drawn over by Jin Huan's voice.
"You guys are recording a show together? How's it going?" Lin Liuyi greeted the other person.
Xiao Yang was also drawn to the enormous ruby, and he murmured, "A real ruby?"
"Yeah, we were together, but it didn't feel very good." Jin Huan pouted. The production team was really favoring the royal family, and she didn't even want to talk about that crazy couple.
If they hadn't insisted on spending money to buy things at the previous stop, and even used the program's funds to buy things for all their relatives, would she have needed to call Lin Liuyi to complete the program's task?
She and Xiao Yang must have had the worst luck in the world to be tour guides at this stop. He's the only one with a good temper; she's definitely not going to put up with the other two.
Just wait and see. Once she and Xiao Yang return with the reward money for completing the mission, those two won't even care about it anymore. Then she'll change her mind.
In front of the production crew, they went back and talked about it in detail. Lin Liuyi understood, and it seems that it really wasn't that good.
Just as Jin Huan was about to hang up the video call, Xiao Yang stopped her, "Are you selling this ruby?"
Sell? Of course I'll sell! Lin Liuyi was worried about where to find a buyer; she didn't have any connections in that area.
She nodded, somewhat puzzled, "But you're buying it?"
"He can afford it, don't worry!" Jin Huan immediately saw what her friend wanted to ask.
"Yes, I can afford it!" Xiao Yang calculated that he should be able to buy the ruby with the money he had, but it was a bit of a pity that the gem had been cut into only half.
"Okay, I'll save it for you."
After hanging up the video, Lin Liuyi marveled at her good luck, then shared the new donations with the sisters in the group to enjoy together, and didn't forget to urge the system to quickly add the new reader to the group.
"Host, this reader is a bit special." The system took a sliver of energy from the donation and glanced at it.
The system's message made Lin Liuyi even more eager, hoping that this reader would join the group soon.
Just then, the little white tiger, who had just tipped the article, was counting the stones in his collection. After counting for a while, he realized that one stone was missing from his collection.
But it didn't take it seriously. Anyway, it had picked them up from the stream in front of the tribe, and it had plenty more in its nest. It could just go and pick up another piece later.
If Lin Liuyi were here, he would see that the white tiger's den was full of all kinds of gems, some even the size of a washbasin.
The little white tiger wasn't thinking about anything else. It was worried about whether there would be any more disturbing noises tonight. The noise had been bothering it all night, and it hadn't slept well until it finally stopped by waving its paw.
Actually, when the article was being delivered, the little white tiger accidentally clicked on the reading mode. It didn't turn it off, and the sound only stopped when the chapter ended. The little white tiger then accidentally clicked on the reward with its paw, and Lin Liuyi received a ruby.
Sure enough, when the little white tiger was about to fall asleep at night, the article came again, along with an invitation to join the group. The little white tiger clicked on it casually and surprisingly ended up declining.
"Host, the other party has refused to join the group."
"Send it again!" Lin Liuyi was really curious and urged the system to continue sending messages.
Just as the little white tiger thought everything was fine and was about to go to sleep, another invitation came. She thought about it and chose the one she hadn't clicked before, thinking that it shouldn't disturb her sleep now. She even clicked the tip button, thinking that there should be no more noise, and then fell asleep peacefully.
Lin Liuyi and the system finally received the notification that the reader had joined the group. Just as they were about to be happy, they discovered that another reward had arrived.
Following Lin Liuyi's suggestion, the system deducted half of the reward and then gave it to her.
Looking at the sapphire the size of a football on the table, Lin Liuyi couldn't imagine how big it was before half of it was removed.
Can this still be sold? She fell into deep thought.
Just then, the little white tiger woke up and went to check on its stone toy. "Awooo! Who stole my big stone!"
