Chapter 229

"This… there's a reward too…" Lin Mu licked her lips and subconsciously looked into the safe, but unfortunately, it was blocked.

This was a promise from a billionaire; it definitely wasn't simple.

"Hmm, I've always been fair in doing things; since I'm asking you for help, I'll definitely give some rewards; left or right?" Tang Song looked at her with bright eyes.

Because he had experienced the dungeon 【Lin Mu's Whisper】, he always had an inexplicable interest in playing games with Xiao Xue.

Although he was holding 10,000 US dollars in cash in each hand now, this didn't prevent him from teasing this "fake socialite" friend.

It was a kind of bad taste.

Looking at the safe, Lin Mu suppressed her excitement, looked at him with sincere eyes, and said, "No need, actually I'm very happy to be able to help you, no reward needed."

She was really greedy for the reward.

However, after experiencing this Magic City trip, her desire to gain Tang Song's favor was even stronger, and she would rather give up the rare reward.

Su Yu's concert was about to begin, and those two high school classmates of hers were about to open the blind box.

Only when the relationship between the two was in place could she take the opportunity to make a request for help.

Hearing Xiao Xue's answer, a look of surprise flashed in Tang Song's eyes; this was slightly different from her in his cognition.

However, this kind of well-behaved and fawning talk sounded indeed more comfortable.

Closing the safe, Tang Song stood up slowly, holding a stack of brand-new cash in each hand.

The green US dollars were exceptionally eye-catching, instantly attracting Lin Mu's gaze.

She subconsciously swallowed, her eye corners twitching.

This is… US dollars?

Looking at the thickness, one stack must be 10,000 US dollars! Over 70,000 RMB!

70,000 yuan!

She worked herself to death editing videos, and only earned that much in half a year.

Just now, she could have gotten it just by nodding!

For a time, she couldn't help but feel a bit regretful in her heart.

She was currently short of money, and if she had this money, she could live more comfortably.

Looking at Xiao Xue's gaze and micro-expressions, Tang Song couldn't help but raise his mouth and handed the two stacks of cash directly over.

His tone was light and fast. "Congratulations, you completed the hidden task 【A blessing in disguise】, and obtained a double reward."

(⊙o⊙)…

Lin Mu looked at the green US dollars in front of her chest, feeling a burst of dry mouth and tongue, and said in a low voice, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Tang Song handed it forward again, directly against Xiao Xue's upright truth.

Lin Mu's face instantly turned red, and her body trembled.

She, Xiao Xue, had graduated for two years, and the total money she saved was only a little over 100,000; one Hermès Birkin 30 had wiped it back to the starting point.

Now, just by helping to deliver something, she got a return of 20,000 US dollars, instantly recovering to full health.

After a while, she reached out to take the US dollars and took the initiative to kiss him on the face.

Accompanied by the moist and warm touch on her face, the fresh and moist fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, like the smell of sea breeze and air after rain; Tang Song subconsciously took a deep breath.

This perfume smell had been smelled before when they met at Yunxi Building, and it felt very comfortable.

Smelling it again, the image of her at that time immediately popped into his mind.

Wearing a dark gray ladies' suit, looking elegant and fashionable.

Putting the two stacks of US dollars into her bag, Lin Mu pretended to be elegant and generous and smiled. "Since it's a hidden reward, then I'll accept it; thanks, Tang Song, give you a kiss, you don't mind, right?"

"Don't mind." Tang Song looked at her with a smile, suddenly reached out and gently wrapped his arm around her graceful waist, and sniffed by her ear.

His tone was gentle and magnetic. "Xiao Xue, your perfume smells very good; what brand is it?"

"Uh~" Lin Mu shuddered, goosebumps rising all over her body, her voice trembling slightly. "Jo Malone… Sage and Sea Salt; some people describe it as 【The gentlest sea】, with a faint milky fragrance and fresh sea breeze."

She kept talking about the characteristics of this perfume, covering up her chaotic mood.

Her brain was like a war.

Feeling Lin Mu's softness and ups and downs in his arms, Tang Song felt refreshed, and the hand on her waist moved down.

Soon it fell on Xiao Xue's firm, perky buttocks.

He continued, "It really does smell like sea breeze; I like it very much."

It had to be said that her figure was really good, her waist was particularly thin, and her butt was plump and perky.

Wrapped in a tight dress, the curves were enchanting and silky, and the feel was excellent.

Even Tang Song, who had fought several battles with the beautician and was in a sage state, couldn't control himself.

Up and down, like stroking a cat, he stroked the curves of her waist.

"Thump—thump—" The heartbeat echoed in his ears.

The expression on Lin Mu's face couldn't hold up anymore, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "It belongs to neutral fragrance, suitable for both men and women; the top note is ambrette seeds, the middle note is sea salt…"

In the quiet walk-in closet, the two had an in-depth communication and exchange on the topic of perfume.

Lin Mu tried hard to inhale, making her waist thinner and her butt perkier.

Sure enough! My train of thought is correct!

Maintain my persona well, tactfully express my feelings to him, constantly narrow the distance between each other, and gain his favor.

One day, he will also treat me like he treats Qian Qian!

I also want to be his girlfriend, I also want to sign a family trust, I also want to be with him forever!

……

At noon, in a French restaurant on the 68th floor of the Shanghai Tower.

Lin Mu walked in under the guidance of the restaurant manager, her gaze subconsciously sweeping over the surrounding environment.

For this Michelin restaurant, she naturally had heard of it, and also saw many people posting about it on Moments.

However, this was still her first time coming here.

The restaurant environment was elegant, and the decor style was full of French style.

The arc-shaped design made every position a landscape position, where one could easily overlook the Huangpu River scenery at an altitude of 314 meters.

Suppressing the urge to take photos, Lin Mu lifted her head and chest.

Soon, she was led to a position by the window.

Sitting quietly there was a beautiful woman in her 30s.

Her makeup was exquisite yet atmospheric, and her soft long hair was coiled into a low bun behind her head.

The collar of her white silk shirt was slightly open, showing her elegance and competence just right.

Her back was straight, her gaze was calm, confident, and composed, and her whole body exuded the temperament of a female elite in the workplace.

Lin Mu's voice was a bit nervous. "President Mo, good noon."

"Mu, sit down." Mo Xiangwan smiled and gestured. "I ordered a set meal for you; if you want to eat anything else, you can add it."

"It's already enough, thanks President Mo." Lin Mu tried hard to maintain her composure, building her psychological construction.

After all, the person she was facing was the president and shareholder of Tang Zong Entertainment, Mo Xiangwan, a true big shot.

Fortunately, she was representing Tang Song this time, so she could be considered to have some confidence.

Seeing her nervousness, Mo Xiangwan chatted with her simply about this Magic City event and went straight to the point. "Mu, you said Tang Song has something for you to bring to me; what is it?"

Lin Mu quickly picked up her bag, took out a glasses case from inside, and handed it over. "Besides this, there is also an electronic file, which I sent to the mailbox on your business card."

"Okay, thanks." Taking the glasses case, Mo Xiangwan opened the lid carefully, revealing the exquisite black-rimmed glasses inside.

Her eyes flickered, and she quickly recognized these glasses.

A few years ago, he once gave Su Yu an identical pair, but it was damaged in an event, and Su Yu cried for a long time at that time.

And at yesterday's film festival, Tang Song also wore a similar pair.

Mo Xiangwan didn't show any emotion and put away the glasses case solemnly.

She opened her phone, entered the mailbox, downloaded the attachment, and looked at it, her eyebrows raised slightly.

"Dream Echo"?

This was a complete song creation file, including lyrics, composition, arrangement, and vocal performance.

Looking at the lyrics inside, the expression on her face changed slightly.

So he knew everything, so he understood her so well.

That's right, how could such a smart person not understand Su Yu's thoughts.

Now that he had left the capital, Jin Meixiao and Liu Qingning were no longer by his side; perhaps the next moment belonged to Su Yu.

Her mind was in turmoil, and the ordered set meals began to be served one after another.

Mo Xiangwan just took a sip of the appetizer drink and ate some appetizers, then stopped her movements.

She looked at Lin Mu calmly, her tone composed. "Mu, I have some urgent matters to deal with; you eat slowly, I've already paid the bill."

Lin Mu was stunned and nodded quickly. "Okay, President Mo."

Watching Mo Xiangwan's beautiful back as she left, Lin Mu couldn't help but imitate her walking posture in her mind.

This President Mo is really amazing; every move is so charming.

Withdrawing her gaze, Lin Mu quickly picked up her phone and started taking photos and recording videos.

Dishes of carefully designed and matched French food were served on the table.

At her feet, the financial district of Lujiazui seemed within reach.

In the distance, the magnificent skyline of the Magic City was in full view.

Being in a top-tier restaurant in the Magic City, looking at the exquisite food and high-end red wine in front of her, and touching the 20,000 US dollars in cash in her bag.

Lin Mu felt like she was floating.

……

Cuihu Tiandi.

"Dong dong dong—"

"President Mo!" The female assistant quickly opened the door.

Mo Xiangwan couldn't care about changing her shoes and asked directly, "Where is Su Yu?"

"In the music studio."

"Da da da—" Leather shoes stepped quickly on the wooden floor.

Mo Xiangwan passed through the living room and corridor, came to the room near the inside, and opened the door directly and walked in.

With the relationship between her and Su Yu for so many years, there was no need to avoid anything.

On the floor mat on the west side of the studio, Su Yu was sitting barefoot on the sofa, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, holding a guitar in her hand, seemingly in a daze.

Her thick, jet-black long hair was scattered casually, and the soft light hit her beautiful face, as if it could penetrate into the skin texture.

Snow-white and translucent, breakable by a blow.

Looking at her attire, Mo Xiangwan smiled knowingly. "Xiao Yu, are you practicing singing?"

"9 days left, Sister Xiangwan, do you think he will come to my concert this time?" Su Yu's amber eyes reflected the light, clear and bright.

Mo Xiangwan pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Tang Song entrusted Lin Mu to give me two things, asking me to pass them to you."

Su Yu's gaze instantly froze, and then she quickly stood up and came to her, nervous and uneasy. "What is it?"

Mo Xiangwan opened her handbag, took out the glasses case, and handed it over. "You'll know when you look."

Su Yu took it carefully and reached out her slender fingers to stroke it gently.

Opening the lid, tears instantly gushed out.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her crying was soft and ethereal, like an elf wailing in sorrow.

Mo Xiangwan hugged her heartbrokenly, using her own clothes to help her wipe away her tears.

Su Yu, Su Yu.

For the outside world, she was a superstar who was high and unreachable, a female billionaire who had made it to Forbes, a walking spotlight.

But for herself, these were not as important as his affirmation and love.

It could be said that she was a love-brain, but it was also this persistent love and longing that supported her all the way, achieving the Su Yu of today.

After a long while, seeing that she finally stopped crying.

Mo Xiangwan took out a printed document from her bag. "This is a new song he wrote for you; you will definitely like it very much."

Su Yu put on the black-rimmed glasses, quickly opened the document bag, took out the lyrics and composition manuscript, and looked at it seriously, her vision blurring again.

She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and came to the piano with her snow-white bare feet.

She sang this new song he wrote softly.

"The wind passes through the curtain of night and brushes my cheeks, the gentle moonlight weaves a dream of light gauze…"

After singing it for a full 5 times, Su Yu looked up, her voice calm. "Sister Xiangwan, help me arrange it; I want to sing this song at the concert."

Film festival support, black-rimmed glasses, dream echo.

At least I can be sure that you don't hate me; you like me.

……

Oriental Pearl Tower, ferry, Bund, Nanjing Pedestrian Street, Wukang Road…

They traveled through the crowded streets of the Magic City, strolling, eating, and playing, tasting the fireworks of the Magic City.

The youthful and lively Zhao Yaqian seemed curious about everywhere, holding Tang Song's arm all the way, sharing her feelings with him, smiling like a flower.

9 o'clock in the evening.

The two sat in the back of the Maybach, driving toward the Bvlgari Hotel.

After a toss last night and this morning, and playing excitedly for a whole day today, Zhao Yaqian was truly tired.

After getting in the car, she held Tang Song's hand in her arms, fingers intertwined.

Leaning against the soft back of the chair, her breathing became more and more even, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

Tang Song looked at the beautician with a smile on the corner of her mouth, a soft light rising in his eyes.

Today should be considered their first complete date after becoming a couple.

This 19-year-old little girlfriend showed unusual clinginess and love.

Every time they arrived at a place, she would take the initiative to hug and kiss him, take photos, occasionally act like a spoiled child to make him buy something, and her address for him was also exceptionally intimate and natural.

Making Tang Song truly feel the beauty of love.

The car drove smoothly and slowly on the road; Tang Song opened the system interface to check the props obtained yesterday.

【Scenario Dungeon Generation Card】: After use, a real plot dungeon can be opened according to the current scenario; the player will play a role, explore the plot, and after the dungeon is cleared, a comprehensive assessment will be conducted according to the completion degree; the higher the score, the more generous the reward.

This was a prop that had never appeared in the game.

It didn't appear in the form of a dream, but was opened in reality, with him playing the role.

It should be similar to the previous 【Lin Mu's Whisper】, but it would be much more difficult.

Just as he was thinking, the glasses on the bridge of his nose suddenly lit up.

Tang Song's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a unique intuition.

Su Yu was nearby.

Looking out the window through the car window.

There was a faint thin layer of purple halo flowing in the surrounding air, like a dream.

"Driver, stop in front."

"Okay, Mr. Tang!"

Soon, the car stopped on the side with double flashers.

Tang Song checked on the map APP, and his gaze fell on "Cuihu Tiandi Junhui Du."

In his impression, he once gave her a property here in the game.

In other words, she lived here now, and happened to be wearing 【Su Yu's Glasses】.

Both sides were within the 【Lucky Bond Effect】 range.

Tang Song clenched his fists, entered the system warehouse, and his gaze looked at a prop flickering with purple-gold light.

【Role Communication Card】: After use, you can get a chance to communicate with a game character, including but not limited to: dreams, internet, interviews, emails, etc.

【Note 1: Communication content is limited to the scope stipulated by the system】

【Note 2: Cannot specify a specific character; the higher the game character level, the lower the probability of being randomized】

【Note 3: Cannot directly or indirectly affect the player's charm value and task progress】

…

This prop was obtained a month ago when completing the side task 【Investment Negotiation Meeting】.

The reason he had been holding back and not using it was that he wanted to wait until he had the 【Lucky buff】 to use it.

In this way, he could also communicate with higher-level game characters.

Now that he and Su Yu had the 【Lucky Bond Effect】, it could be considered a god-given opportunity.

Thinking of this world-class female star, Tang Song felt excited and inexplicable.

She should be the person he wanted to see most besides 【Jin Mi Shu】.

The 【Female Star】 he cultivated with his own hands according to his preferences—he really wanted to know what kind of person she was in reality.

Taking a deep breath, he selected the 【Role Communication Card】 and used it immediately.

"Ding! Special item 【Role Communication Card】 has been used, character screening in progress."

Immediately after, the system light screen in front of him flowed automatically, and one by one, blurred game characters flickered past.

Tang Song's mood became more and more nervous, his gaze fixed on the front.

"Swish—" A burst of gorgeous purple-gold light erupted on the light screen.

A grand concert scene appeared in front of him.

The stage lights and the starry sky echoed each other, brilliant fireworks were set off in the sky, and the LED lights carried by drones arranged gorgeous and colorful patterns in the air.

The audience was like a tide, with cheers, screams, and shouts rising one after another.

The spotlight pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, hitting the center of the stage directly.

In a trance, Tang Song saw a beautiful and ethereal figure.

The skirt danced in the wind, like a flowing galaxy.

Immediately after, the picture gradually dimmed, and lines of text flickering with micro-light jumped out.

【You obtained the opportunity to communicate with "Female Star-Su Yu" and "Agent-Mo Xiangwan"】

【Communication scenario has been locked—2023 "Fishing About You" Concert】

【During the concert, you will temporarily unlock the communication permission for this character, but the communication content cannot directly or indirectly affect the player's charm value and task progress…】

【On June 20, 2023, you will synchronously unlock the communication permission for "Agent-Mo Xiangwan," but the communication content…】

【You triggered the challenge task "God-Level Scene"】

【Task content: Challenge to complete a wonderful and unforgettable music performance scene with Su Yu in the capacity of a guitarist and backing vocalist at the concert.】

【Task reward: Random gift pack*1】

【Note: The size of the gift pack is related to the performance effect, including: singer state, stage effect, live atmosphere…】

…

"Hoo~" Tang Song let out a long breath, his eyebrows filled with thick excitement and agitation.

The 【Role Communication Card】 indeed didn't stipulate that it could only communicate with one character.

Under the influence of the 【Lucky Bond Effect】, he successfully selected Su Yu.

And Mo Xiangwan would definitely be present during the concert.

So the system directly unlocked the permissions for two characters.

Especially Mo Xiangwan, whose character level was slightly lower, directly obtained the communication permission for the whole day.

Of course, the communication content was also detailedly stipulated, especially not being able to affect his own charm rating.

If there were no such restrictions, he could even have "in-depth communication" with Su Yu during the concert and directly bind the other party as a partner.

In that case, his charm rating would probably soar by a large margin.

Thinking of the graceful and dazzling female star he cultivated in the game, Tang Song couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

9 days left, and he could see her with his own eyes, and also cooperate once.

The 【God-Level Scene】 task was not difficult; he had absolute confidence in Su Yu.

And his guitar level could also be considered top-tier; as long as he cheered for her in the band, she would definitely not let him down.

"Ding! System mall has been updated, new items have been put on the shelves." A system prompt sounded in his ear.

Tang Song's eyes lit up; he returned to the main interface and entered the mall module.

On the originally empty shelves, two items flickering with different lights appeared.

Touching them gently with his consciousness, the product information popped up instantly.

【Su Yu's Lyrics Book】: After use, you can obtain some of Su Yu's singing techniques to help you better cooperate with her. (Price: 2 million yuan)

【Note: Effort will be rewarded; I, use singing to prove it.】

【Tang Song's Baseball Cap】: A hat worn by player Tang Song, with excellent breathability and comfort; after wearing it, you can cover your aura to a certain extent, making yourself more low-key and introverted, agility +2. (Price: 3 million yuan)

Goods worth 5 million; without hesitation, Tang Song clicked to buy.

These two things were very good and worth the price; they could be considered props used by the system to help him complete the task.

Especially 【Tang Song's Baseball Cap】, which could prevent him from being recognized when going on stage to a certain extent.

After all, with Su Yu's popularity, even if it was just accompaniment, it might be dug out by netizens and fans.

Looking at the direction of Cuihu Tiandi again.

Tang Song said softly to the driver: "Let's go, back to the Bvlgari Hotel."

…

Ten minutes later, the Maybach S680 stopped at the B1 elevator entrance of the Bvlgari Hotel.

The two got out of the car, Zhao Yaqian held his arm, and followed him forward in a daze.

Tang Song patted the beautician's butt gently and smiled gently. "Come on, I'll carry you up."

Then, Tang Song stood in front of her and bent his waist slightly.

Zhao Yaqian was stunned, stood on tiptoe, and lay on his back. "Thanks, Brother Song, love you."

Tang Song picked up her warm and plump legs and stood up.

Zhao Yaqian lay on his neck, laughing foolishly while blowing air at his face.

After playing for a while, she put her mouth on his shoulder again, closed her eyes, and bit gently with her white and neat teeth.

Taking the elevator directly to the 45th floor, they walked into the luxury river-view suite.

Looking at Tang Song carrying her in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Zhao Yaqian murmured: "Brother, I love you so much, no matter how you treat me in the future, I will never leave you."

After a moment of silence, Tang Song said softly: "I love you too, Qian Qian."

He put the beautician on the big bed in the bedroom and helped her take off her shoes.

"You take a good sleep first, and then get up to wash up later."

"Hmm." Zhao Yaqian hugged the soft quilt, her face with closed eyes lifted slightly.

Tang Song smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her plump lips. "Sleep."

Soon, slight snoring sounded.

…

Tang Song came to the mini bar, opened a bottle of Balvenie whiskey, and poured himself a glass.

Sitting on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the gorgeous night view of Suzhou Creek Bay.

Figures seemed to flash before his eyes.

White moonlight, beautician, big sister, partner, wealthy and beautiful, fake socialite, female star, Jin Mi Shu…

For a time, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
