Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 639 Thunderous Sitting Posture
It has to be said that Liu Ruyan's description, although somewhat harsh, is quite accurate upon closer examination.

If this were before, he would have fit the NPC template for the first twenty-odd years of his life. If it weren't for the shopping page, he would still be an NPC now.

There is no main storyline, it doesn't consume many resources, the modeling is average, new clothes are only available during holidays, and activities are limited. Before university, the area is in Nancheng, and after university, it's in Jiangning. Especially after university, the activity range is limited to the area around the school.

The only thing that doesn't fit is that his health is still pretty good, so he's not easily injured. You know, when he was a kid, he dared to jump from the roof of his old house onto the dirt mound below, and the best part was that he was never hurt. Even if he was hurt from the fall, or even if he couldn't get up for a while, he would never tell his parents. He would recover and crawl home by himself, and a few days later he would be back to normal.

Now that he's grown up, he's become more and more timid. He doesn't dare to jump off the roof anymore. When he lives in the dormitory, he doesn't even dare to jump off the bed, afraid that he will fall to his death.

After the shopping page was added, he gradually got rid of the other NPCs, new skins became more common, the character models became more refined, and the main quest became making money.

This can be considered as breaking away from the NPC mode. In a game, this would be like an NPC awakening consciousness due to a system bug.

As for Liu Ruyan and her cousin, neither of them has been considered an NPC since childhood. Liu Ruyan, in particular, comes from a wealthy family and has experienced all kinds of life. She has a high standard, broad knowledge, and good character modeling, making her a perfect protagonist template.

Miss Yuan and Liu Ruyan are basically the same; both are protagonists among protagonists.

As for his cousin Su He, although she was much worse than Liu Ruyan, she was good at modeling and had always been the "model child" in other people's families. She had excellent grades and after graduating, she became a department manager in a company after a few years. She could be considered a promising young woman.

Upon reflection, Lin Mo realized that players could indeed attract each other, and NPCs would also cluster together.

Now, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei have begun to break free from the standards of NPCs, but Class Monitor Wang and He Xiaoyue are still the same as before. Liu Ruyan's description is quite reasonable.

"I heard from Sister Yuan that she's really into it right now. When she told me today, my advice was that you can make contact, but just keep a close eye on your money," Lin Mo said helplessly.

Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's get to know him. If he's a good person, that would be great. But if he's a liar or a scumbag, we can learn a lesson."

I won't comment on the class monitor, but in Xiaoyue's case, I would say she'd be better off focusing her energy on her work. Romantic relationships can come later, but opportunities to make money only come a few times in a lifetime.

I took a look at your studio. With Yuanyuan there, the prospects are quite good. If you manage it well, it won't be difficult for her to earn 20,000 yuan a month.

Besides, didn't you say the studio has another account now, and they all get a share of the profits? That's like having shares, so the money-making speed won't be too bad. With money, what kind of man can't you find? Even if you can't find one, you can still find one! We can't put the cart before the horse!

Lin Mo:
As expected of you, Sister Ruyan, you dare to say such outrageous things.

Seeing this, Su He, Su Mo's older cousin, couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Mo, I told you this woman wasn't a good person! Tell me, did you or didn't you order the mold?"

"What nonsense! I already said, if there are decent women out there, who would play this game with money? Do you think I have no morals?" Liu Ruyan spat.

Su He sneered upon hearing this: "Integrity? Would someone with integrity wear that stuff? Would someone with integrity wear lace around their eyes?"

Liu Ruyan:
That was a little prop that the store gave her when she bought clothes. She felt quite good wearing it, but when Su He saw it, she felt really ashamed.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, and then Lin Mo cleaned up the dishes. It was already past eleven o'clock at night.

For older people, this time of day is probably already past bedtime, but for young people, it's just the beginning.

But Lin Mo was different. He had worked all day and was a little tired. In addition, he wanted to strengthen his body and cultivate his vitality, so he specially called his cousin over. After he finished, he went straight to the guest room to rest.

In the master bedroom, Su He lay on the bed wearing the same thick pajamas as Liu Ruyan, and said warily, "First of all, don't move your hands around. I'm not my cousin. Secondly, don't make any strange noises. If you have a fever, wait until I leave tomorrow."

"Get lost, you're the one with a fever!" Liu Ruyan spat.

Su He glanced at him disdainfully: "Whoever burned it knows! Go to sleep!"

"Fine, go to sleep then!"

At first, Su He didn't understand why Lin Mo insisted on bringing her along. She thought the two had a fight. But now she realized that they weren't having a fight at all; Liu Ruyan was trying to eat her alive!
If she had known better, she wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. But then again, she really didn't know Liu Ruyan had this side to her if she hadn't come. Nothing more was said that night. Lin Mo slept well, and Liu Ruyan didn't cause any trouble, at least not enough to make his cousin bring her over in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Lin Mo got up early, and Liu Ruyan and Su He also got up together.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast," Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Su He waved her hand: "No, it'll be too late if we go any later, let's go!"

"Little brother, I'm leaving too. See you tonight, mua~" With that, Liu Ruyan blew a kiss, then took Su He's arm and the two went downstairs.

Seeing this, Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided to stick to his usual routine. He started with thirty reps on the arm exerciser, then changed his clothes and went downstairs to start exercising.

On the playground, Professor Mu continued to refresh the page as usual. Lin Mo felt that compared to the vast majority of ordinary people, Professor Mu, this little old lady, was more like an NPC.

Rain or shine, he would refresh his record on the playground every Tuesday to Friday morning, maintaining an extremely regular daily routine.

After greeting their teacher, the two began their morning exercise.

Fortunately, the negative effects of Patrick's accent had already passed by yesterday afternoon, otherwise I would have had to explain it again today.

After practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation), Lin Mo felt a warm current flowing from his lower abdomen, and his body felt warm and comfortable.

After parting ways with Professor Mu, he was about to go to the cafeteria for breakfast when he unexpectedly saw the class monitor, Director Wang, Miss Yuan, and Chuan Mei all hiding in a corner of the cafeteria, waving frantically at him.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he quickly ran over.

"No way, did the sun rise in the west today? How come you guys are up so early?"

You know, these dads never usually come home this early. Something must have happened!

Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly pulled him over to sit down, then raised his index finger to his lips in a gesture to be quiet.

Just as he was puzzled, Chuanmei winked at him in the distance, signaling him to look over there.

Lin Mo turned his head, and the next second, he saw He Xiaoyue sitting with a man eating on the other side of the cafeteria in the distance.

"Is this... Xiaoyue?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly.

The distance was quite far, and even though his eyes had been repaired with eye drops and he was no longer nearsighted, he still couldn't see very clearly.

"Of course, the class monitor posted a message in the group today saying that Xiaoyue went out suspiciously this morning, probably to meet up with someone. What, didn't you see the group?" Miss Yuan said.

Lin Mo: "Wait a minute, you guys actually have a group chat?"

Several people:
"Um, um, don't worry about the details! Let's take a look first!" Miss Yuan quickly said.

Lin Mo didn't press the matter further, but he knew that these people were forming a clique behind his back—wasn't that internal strife? He would never forgive their betrayal.

But he also knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter, so the group sat down and watched. At first, they each had their own posture, but gradually, their postures became uniform, and they slumped in their chairs, in short, the Thunder Sitting Posture!

Soon, He Xiaoyue and her companion finished their meal and were about to leave when they suddenly turned around and saw five familiar faces staring at them with menacing expressions.
