Chapter 390: Draw All the Cards

"In the Forest Zone most players are foreigners; although there's a translator, can you tolerate animals running everywhere, creatures whose nature—angel or demon—is unknown, as well as various mages, witches, elves, and the like? If they fight once you can get cursed or something, and the Forest Zone is all forest, has no special bloodlines, so life isn't easy."

"What about the Republic?"

"If it's not cannon, it's fire; otherwise it's just dating—do you like that?"

"Is cultivation good?"

"The Cultivation Zone comes with spiritual roots, but it's just a matter of quality. The stuff in the Cultivation Zone is pretty good: spells are flashy, clothes are beautiful and delicate, fitting the aesthetic of the people."

"Speaking of that, the reason long‑term residence isn't recommended is that competition is fierce; you can die at any moment. After death, the character's experience resets and is reallocated. The key is that the reallocation is lower than the initial allocation."

"In contrast, the quiet, peaceful Modern Zone, where you only need to work part‑time, is the best choice!"

"Su Xi and the others agree. They log on for enjoyment, not for fighting. Whatever they need, they can just buy with money."

"Liang Yan and Tang Can decide to buy a pass, then go see each place."

"Su Xi has already started splashing cash, preparing to purchase a reasonably legitimate status in the cultivation world."

……

"Su Yu logs off, feeling not very good."

"When you're about to leave, it's the most torturous, it feels so awful!"

"Wulongcha is calm, 'You haven't even started Draw card yet, and you're already feeling awful?'"

"Wulongcha wants to say, what if you don't draw all the cards?"

"But when she thinks about it, the words are truly inauspicious; she can't utter them."

"Luyingying, who was nearby, hurriedly gave Su Yu a dose of a soothing elixir; Su Yu waved her hand, limp, and returned to the dormitory to rest."

"Luyingying sighs, 'It seems that being smart isn't a blessing after all; each time you log on you feel unwell, yet you stubbornly refuse to take the medicine!'"

"A researcher nearby dry‑vomits a few times, 'Ugh, I don't want to drink it either; who invented this thing? It works, but it's too terrible to swallow—every time I drink it feels like torture!'"

"Given her high physical condition, she can recover, so it's normal not to want to drink much!"

"Not all researchers are like Su Yu, with high talent and good physical condition. To stay alive and feel better, they have to drink specially developed elixirs to keep their bodies alert."

"How envious of Su Yu!"

"There are only a dozen or so cases like Su Yu's that can recover on their own, and among them Su Yu appears to have the mildest symptoms."

"Su Yu steadies her mood and returns home; she smiles and discusses custom robots with Liang Yan. Liang Yan's game has already entered a slump because Su Yu's holographic game features many more types of handsome guys. All NPCs can be interacted with, even married."

"If Su Yu's game settings weren't extremely strict—disallowing married players from marrying again, enforcing monogamy—the gender relations in the game would be chaotic!"

"Little Sister Xiao Yu, can the cost really not go any lower?"

"Su Yu shakes her head, 'No! If it's any lower, the simulation feel has to be sacrificed, and the researchers aren't willing!'"

"Can identical custom robots really be distinguished?"

"Yes! They all have codes, and the name is decided by the buyer. If you don't name it, it's just a number; once named, it can't be changed!"

"Su Yu explains in detail, and Liang Yan worries, 'At this price, I'm afraid it won't sell!'"

"Su Yu thinks that's not the point, 'You should worry that after this thing is sold the first time, it might be halted and mocked by netizens!'"

"??? Why would they insult it? The design is perfect!"

"It's not the buyers who complain, it's the non‑buyers! These perfectly looking, linguistically advanced, superb‑bodied, never‑betraying robot boyfriends—once they appear, guess how many people in the country will want to get married?"

"Because of this, the marriage rate would probably drop more wildly than the stock market, and Su Yu would get a scolding!"

"But she wasn't a good child to begin with! Liang Yan, with a serious expression, says, 'So we need to sell a lot at once! Ideally the first batch should be available to everyone who wants to buy!'"

"Su Yu nods."

"The factory rushed production, and Liang Yan invested a lot of money."

"A month later, the perfect robot boyfriend goes live! Networks nationwide and even abroad go crazy! Because the robot boyfriend, besides the three originally planned male leads, also has various other handsome styles, each equipped with multiple voice options that can be switched when you get tired of them."

"Even at 100,000 each, many people buy them. The three male‑lead robots sell out the fastest, because they can sync the game's 'memories'."

"The remaining ones, though ordinary robot boyfriends and not as popular as the three leads, also see their stock deplete quickly!"

"Within a day, all 100,000 robots are sold out! 'Do we still need to list them?'"

"Liang Yan still wants to keep listing robot boyfriends."

"Even though it's an assembly‑line job, they still need maintenance; with robots coming out in batches, aren't you worried about being attacked?"

"Liang Yan shakes his head, 'That's not the point; I'm afraid we won't be able to sell them.'"

"Su Yu shakes her head, 'I don't know, but for now they can be sold!'"

"They haven't even reacted yet! Those foreign clods have recorded the holographic game and posted it. Foreign netizens are wailing, they also want to play!"

"But their country doesn't accept the conditions of Su Yu's country, trying to haggle."

"Some wealthy, asset‑rich netizens have already filed immigration applications, preparing to move to another country to play the game! The holographic game has level gaps; if you enter late and the level difference is too big, the experience will be terrible! Supposedly the holographic game is divided only by region, ignoring the gap between new and old players; latecomers can only scavenge resources abandoned by earlier players, making new players especially miserable!"

"The outside world is in a heated uproar over the holographic game, and Liang Yan and Su Yu's robot sales soar! By the time the higher‑ups come to Su Yu demanding a production halt, Su Yu and Liang Yan have already sold to the overwhelming majority of players."

"Su Yu and Liang Yan agree to stop selling robot boyfriends and issue an announcement."

"Players who got one are happy; those who didn't are wailing! …"

"Su Yu receives news that a new advertising payment has arrived, and she looks out the window with a complicated expression."

"Wulongcha urges, 'We can start now!'"

"Over a billion, definitely enough to Draw all the cards! 'Hmm!'"

"Wulongcha arranges for Su Yu to start drawing. Watching the card collection progress rise, Su Yu feels it's not progress but the speed of her departure."

"Wulongcha, after I draw all the cards, can I wait a bit before leaving? I want to say goodbye to Mom and the others. I want to see them again!"

"Wulongcha shakes, 'It's possible for a short time; beyond a day it won't work!'"

"Wulongcha pauses the Draw card progress, 'Host, how long do you want to stay?'"

"No need to stop, continue, I just want to say a few words."

"Alright!"

Su Yu didn't know how many times she had drawn mechanically; she constantly did mental preparation in her heart until she had drawn all the cards.

Looking at the sparkling card album, Su Yu felt a sense of accomplishment at finally completing the set. She didn't even know how much money she had spent! 【Wulongcha, we've completed the draw!】

Wulongcha shook up and down, 【Yes, we've finally completed the draw!】

It was so excited! The money spent on these draws also came from its hard work, and its feelings were complicated! Wulongcha looked for a moment, then reminded Su Yu, 【Host, do you still want to say goodbye? The countdown has already begun!】

【You said I could use up all the cards before leaving, right?】

Thanks for the votes, cuties～ What comes next is Su Yu leaving, Su Xi going back in time to see her mother and change her family's future. I originally didn't want to spoil it, but I was worried some might not like it, so I stopped here, giving you a heads-up in advance～
