Chapter 84 I'm Really Not a Rich Lolita

Jiang Yuan was unaware that Chen Duling was currently having a brainstorming session.

On the contrary, he found it quite interesting that Chen Duling wanted to help him in the qualifying matches.

In fact, he knew Chen Duling's identity on his second day on set.

When they met in person for the first time, the voice sounded familiar, and he didn't recognize it at first.

But the next day, when Ma Sichun was chatting with him privately, he heard that Chen Duling was from Xiamen, studied at a university in Nanjing, and majored in aircraft manufacturing.

He figured it out.

After all, his friend, who was known for his meticulous approach to aircraft design, had revealed a lot of personal information to him while playing games.

He also mentioned being invited to act in a play.

Jiang Yuan never expected that her gaming duo friend, whom she had been playing with for months, would actually meet her in the same film crew.

It was her debut film.

However, after a week, Jiang Yuan also noticed Chen Duling's slowness. Sometimes he would feel that Chen Duling's voice was familiar, but he just couldn't connect it to him no matter what.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, since he hasn't really shared much about himself.

It's absurd that Chen Duling could pinpoint his location just by listening to his voice after the online call.

Even so, it didn't stop Jiang Yuan from finding it quite interesting to hear that his gaming friend, whom he had carried to victory, was going to take on the entire responsibility of leading him through the promotion matches.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Anything is fine, we can do it together when we have time."

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Chen Duling began to stammer.

"that----"

Chen Duling pursed her lips, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter, "Actually, it's not very good—"

"I didn't know you were at such a high rank, almost reaching the King rank. I've never even played a King promotion match myself."

Fearing that Jiang Yuan might think she was fickle, Chen Duling explained, "So, I might not be able to play in this kind of game, and I might drag you down and cause you to fail to advance."

"Of course, if you're not afraid to lose, I can play with you too. I'm also a Diamond player."

She gave an awkward but polite smile and gestured the difference with her fingers, "But my level is only Diamond Gatekeeper, which is the pinky, while you are Diamond Pyramid, which is the thumb. You reached Diamond in just a few dozen games, so your hidden MMR must be very high."

Jiang Yuan was amused by the analogy and asked her curiously, "Then what is a king? The thumb is gone."

Chen Duling didn't expect Jiang Yuan to ask this. She was just using it as a metaphor, comparing the difference between Diamond 5 and Diamond 1 to five fingers, and she was just at the level of a Diamond 5 goalkeeper, the little finger.

If she weren't duo queuing with someone, her Diamond V rank in the suburbs would already be the maximum, let alone reaching Diamond IV in the first region.

and many more.

If she remembered correctly, her friend was almost at the King rank after only a few dozen games.

And that guy also said he was an actor.

Chen Duling recalled the first time she met Jiang Yuan and felt that his voice was very familiar and particularly pleasant to hear.

The girl's dark, bright eyes, hidden beneath her bangs, narrowed slightly, gleaming with intelligence in the dimly lit car.

Now, as she carefully considered Jiang Yuan's gentle and soothing voice, detached from the online world, it was indeed her gaming friend.

Then look at the game friend's account name, "[Brother Jiang is just going to feed]", isn't that Jiang Yuan?

"The king has gathered the power of his five fingers, transforming his palm into a fist, hence it is a fist."

Chen Duling had no concrete evidence, so she remained inactive and returned to the metaphor.

"Sister Dudu, you're a Diamond level? That's amazing. This is the first time I've met a girl with such a high level in real life."

Jingjing, recalling the skill levels of Sister Meng and Sister Xue, exclaimed in surprise, "What Diamond rank are they? Are they in Zone 1?"

"The highest account is Diamond IV in Zone 1."

Chen Duling joked, "Actually, I also climbed up by duo-queuing with others. My actual skill level is just a Diamond V goalkeeper in the suburbs."

"He is the kind of weak and pathetic goalkeeper who is barely clinging to life and struggling to maintain his diamond-level status."

Chen Duling said to Jiang Yuan meaningfully, "So when I play the King of Glory promotion match, I will definitely mess with you."

Chen Duling wanted to see Jiang Yuan's reaction, but found him to be very calm, as if he knew nothing.

Then he realized that after Jiang Yuan joined the crew, he hadn't talked to him much about their respective situations.

Because of the lack of time, she basically made the most of every minute to discuss the play and learn.

Chen Duling breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Yuan knew that she was studying in Nanjing, and now that she had revealed her game rank, she might immediately connect it to her.

But that doesn't make sense, doesn't this guy know she's from Xiamen? She mentioned it in the game!

Chen Duling began to doubt herself again. Could Jiang Yuan have missed it? Was she really that oblivious?

Or perhaps Jiang Yuan isn't actually his game friend?

"Dudu, you're so funny. 'Living on in misery, weak and pathetic,' who would describe themselves like that?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is this what anime is all about, that kind of chuunibyou?" Jingjing whispered.

"Sister Yu, I'm telling the truth."

Chen Duling banished the thoughts from her mind and turned to look at Jingjing. "Jingjing, you're not mistaken, I am a long-time anime fan, but being a chuunibyou isn't like this."

"This line is at most something that comes to mind from an action anime, because I watched Bleach out of boredom before I joined the crew a while ago."

She said softly, "But it's not being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Being an anime/manga fan doesn't mean being a chuunibyou."

"I understand, Sister Dudu." Jingjing nodded quickly, indicating that she understood.

"Is Death good?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Chen Duling's eyes flashed: "Do you like it?"

"I haven't even seen it, so how can I comment on whether I like it or not?"

"Where's the Hokage?"

"I've seen some, they're alright."

"Like the Grim Reaper."

Chen Duling sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "Not as good as the Hokage."

Jiang Yuan said speechlessly, "I asked for your opinion, not to summarize mine."

"That's just my opinion."

Chen Duling glanced at Jiang Yuan sideways, "I prefer suspense and mystery anime."

"But why did the conversation suddenly veer towards anime?"

Chen Duling pretended to be nonchalant, but actually probed, "Jiang Yuan, which server are you in for the Alliance? Do you usually play by yourself?"

"Ionia".

Jiang Yuan watched her tentatively, amused. Was she a little slow to realize something?

He said his voice was very distinctive.

"I usually play casual games with friends, and occasionally I play ranked games with online friends," Jiang Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "Ionia, 49 ranked games, 87% win rate, Diamond 1, about to enter Challenger promotion series? 421 normal games, far exceeding the number of ranked games, 96% win rate; 52 AI games, ranked second, 100% win rate."

Xiao Yu asked in confusion, "Dudu, I only said the boss played a few dozen games, how come you gave me such a detailed account of how many games he played? You even gave me the win rate."

As Xiao Yu spoke, his gaze fell upon Jingjing.

Jingjing has always been Jiang Yuan's computer carrier. Occasionally, she would help Jiang Yuan play against bots to get her first win, and she would often check the number of games Jiang Yuan's account has played.

Although Xiao Yu felt it was unnecessary, since she wasn't short of gold coins from the first win, she could just recharge the account for whatever hero the boss wanted to buy.

But then Xiao Yu thought again, maybe Jingjing just wanted to play around.

She's still just a young girl who hasn't been to university yet, so it's normal for her to like trying fun things.

Jingjing's eyes widened in admiration as she asked, "Sister Dudu, how did you do that? How did you know Brother Yuan's account information? Can you tell fortunes?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately understood that what Chen Duling said wasn't made up, but rather the real boss's account data.

Ignoring Jingjing and Xiaoyu's confusion, Chen Duling stared at Jiang Yuan and uttered her last words: "Brother Jiang, are you just going to throw your life away?"

Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised, not because he was surprised that Chen Duling had guessed him. After all, if Chen Duling knew his game information and connected it with his ID, she would be incredibly stupid if she still couldn't identify him.

To Jiang's surprise, Chen Duling could actually remember his game data, complete with exact fractions.

The number of matches played, the number of players at the airport, the number of ranked matches, and the win rate are all clearly displayed.

That's too exaggerated; he himself can't even remember these things.

And does he play that many more casual games than ranked games?

In the current version, you can reach level 30 after playing around 200 matches.

If you have a double experience card, the time can be reduced by half.

So after playing so many ranked bot matches, it seems like I'm still playing with Motong, Chaoyue, Xiaotian, and Mengjie.

They don't play together; sometimes they play matchmaking with one of their online friends.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "Does the aircraft require meticulous attention to detail?"

"Hehe, Brother Jiang knew all along, huh?"

Chen Duling crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat. As she leaned back, her shoulder-length short hair swayed and brushed against her fair and delicate face.

She was pouting, her pink lips almost sticking up to a soy sauce bottle.

"When?" Chen Duling glared at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan honestly replied, "I found out around noon on the second day after I joined the crew."

"After all, you revealed too much personal information to me when you were playing games."

Jiang Yuan shrugged and sighed, "It's hard not to know even if you want to."

Chen Duling's face stiffened: "Okay, it seems like it's my fault. I should have noticed it sooner."

The girl looked withdrawn, feeling that Jiang Yuan must have thought of her as a high-achieving but incompetent idiot.

Even though the voice is so familiar, how can you not recognize me?

Jiang Yuan reassured her, "It's alright. After all, you don't know me well, and I didn't reveal too much information to you."

Yes, yes, all of these are understandable reasons.

Chen Duling nodded with relief; she hadn't been treated like a stupid idiot.

"But next time we chat online, we need to be more careful and protect our privacy. We shouldn't be so naive," Jiang Yuan said.

Chen Duling's face fell; she hadn't been treated like a stupid idiot.

But it seems I was just being treated like an idiot that day.

Chen Duling explained, "I've been playing games with you for several months and we're quite familiar with each other, so I only revealed a little information to you."

"Yeah, that's true."

Jiang Yuan nodded, giving the young woman a way out.

Xiao Yu and Jing Jing understood something after overhearing their conversation.

Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Dudu, you were the game friend who played ranked matches with the boss when Xuejie, Chaoyue, and the others weren't online?"

Although Chen Duling didn't know who Xue Jie Chaoyue was that Xiao Yu was talking about.

But after playing games with Jiang Yuan for a few months, I also know that Jiang Yuan sometimes plays matchmaking games with his friends.

Chen Duling nodded and said, "If he doesn't have any other game friends he hasn't met offline, then it must be me."

Xiao Yu joked, "Then why did you say you'd help the boss in the promotion matches? Haha, the boss even told me before that his game friend is also a rich loli who pays him to play with her."

Chen Duling blushed slightly and looked at Jiang Yuan: "You even told Sister Yu?"

"Xiao Yu is my agent, and she's also a rich young girl."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I think you two should have something in common. I want her to help me analyze your motives for wanting to pay me for playing games with you."

Chen Duling asked curiously, "So, what was Sister Yu's answer?"

Jiang Yuan turned her gaze to Xiao Yu, letting her speak for herself.

Chen Duling kept her eyes fixed on Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Can't I just not listen?"

"No." Chen Duling shook her head. "You revealed the secret, so you should answer the question directly."

"Xiao Yu said you're lacking love." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, trying to be as tactful as possible.

Chen Duling denied it, saying, "My family loves me very much, I don't lack love."

"Has Dudu ever been in a relationship?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.

"No." Chen Duling shook her head subconsciously.

Jingjing couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "So what Sister Yu is saying is that you want to suffer in love."

Chen Duling's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly said to Jiang Yuan, "I want to transfer you money as a thank you for your company, like a friend, you know?"

"Yes, I understand."

Jiang Yuan nodded; he was fine with either option.

Chen Duling wrinkled her nose: "No, you don't understand."

"Okay then, I don't understand." Jiang Yuan nodded.

Chen Duling looked at Jiang Yuan's incredibly handsome and dashing face and felt a little tempted to pinch it. This guy's words were sometimes so irritating.

Just like when she first met him in the game, this guy was killing her while typing, which was just as annoying.

"Well, you still understand, right?"

Chen Duling didn't make a move. Instead, as if all her strength had been drained, she lay back in the chair. "Jiang Yuan, this is your first time playing Yasuo, and you fed like crazy."

She held out her hand in front of Jiang Yuan, as if asking for something. "You hurt me, make it up to me, understand?"

"I don't understand. The winner takes all, the loser is condemned. I won't pay," Jiang Yuan said coldly.

Chen Duling suddenly said, "But whether you understand or not, I've never been in a relationship."

Jiang Yuan looked puzzled. "We were talking about games, how did we end up talking about something else?"

Chen Duling hurriedly explained, "No, I got sidetracked. What I meant was, whether you understand or not, I need to explain: I'm really not a rich loli."

"I know, there's no such thing as a rich little girl with 1,500 a month for living expenses."

Jiang Yuan comforted her, "Xiao Yu was just guessing for fun. She also wanted to give me money when she first met me."

Chen Duling looked at Xiao Yu, who smiled and nodded: "Dudu, don't be sad, our boss is very popular with rich girls."

September 1st.

Jiang Yuan finished filming her scenes in Xiamen, even though she had taken a few days off.

Then I prepared to fly to Hangzhou.

Actually, the first episode of Running Man was originally scheduled to be filmed on August 29th and 30th.

But I did calculate the time.

It was delayed by two days.

Jiang Yuan didn't know if it was because of her, but the people at Zhejiang TV were quite easy to talk to.

He could have recorded it at the end of August.

But when Zhejiang TV heard that he might be pressed for time, they said that the station needed to plan for two more days and proactively postponed it by two days.

Jiang Yuan was unaware that the recording was actually done consecutively for episodes one and two.

One of the guests in the first episode was Yang Chaoyue, who was invited by the program team.

The second episode also features guests.

Naza.
