"Hey, big bro, why aren't you replying? I've been waiting forever!"
"Little bro, why aren't you responding? What do you think of my new photo? I think I've lost some weight recently. What's your opinion?"
"Oh, stop it. My figure isn't as good as you think. It's just 36D, and I haven't had any plastic surgery!"
"Little rascal, who are you chatting with? Why are you taking so long to reply? I'm getting mad!"
"Dude, why aren't you replying? Are you really into guys? Let's add each other on WeChat and chat more, okay?"
In just one hour, Shen Lang's local social app was flooded with over 500 unread messages, with 90% of them from women.
Even if Shen Lang was the fastest texter ever, he couldn't keep up with chatting with hundreds of people at once.
So, these women were almost fanatical, bombarding him with messages, selfies, and intimate photos, eagerly wanting to interact with him.
Some wealthy ladies even went so far as to spend big money on gifts just to get Shen Lang's attention or to make him reply.
One user with the ID [Snow on the Island] showered Shen Lang with nearly 100,000 worth of gifts, rocketing to the top of that night's gift leaderboard and shocking even the big streamers on the app.
During this hour of chatting, Shen Lang figured out how the upgraded system worked.
The new system tailors replies based on the other person's interests and personality, helping Shen Lang craft the perfect persona.
When chatting with aloof girls, the system makes Shen Lang seem like a warm, caring guy, like a family member.
With obedient girls, it turns him into a wild, rebellious character, spinning tales of his adventures.
With rich girls, the system makes Shen Lang use PUA (pickup artist) tactics, and the more he does it, the more they're eager to chat with him.
Sometimes Shen Lang wanted to engage with them personally without the system's help.
Even then, the system would analyze his responses, advising him on the best ways to reply.
In short, the system now functioned like a dating coach for Shen Lang.
Most users on social apps are looking for partners who match their personalities and interests.
When they encounter someone who can charm them, they naturally open up and discuss even private matters.
With Shen Lang's AI-like dating skills, these women were obsessed, sending him endless messages like crazy fans.
The most shocking thing was that Shen Lang was just a new user with no social updates or personal photos.
Even his avatar was just a basic blue cartoon guy.
That's the power of the upgraded system!
Just through text, it had turned Shen Lang into the prince charming of these women's dreams.
As for the intimate photos and their hopes to meet in real life, Shen Lang wasn't interested.
Not to mention the obvious photo editing and awkward poses; only a few of the photos were decent.
Besides, Shen Lang already had three gorgeous women in his life. Why would he need to look for more online?
He was just using them to practice his social skills and boost his favorability to earn more coins.
He'd also encountered a few male users, and with the system's help, he'd increased their favorability and earned more coins.
What was bizarre was that when these guys found out Shen Lang was male, they didn't back off; instead, they were even more eager.
Their enthusiasm was just as intense as the women's, with comments like "I'm fine with being the bottom"?!
Seriously, can the gay scene just end already?
Of course, Shen Lang wasn't a monk with no desires; he enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of chatting with certain users.
Especially the one who gave him 100,000 in gifts, [Snow on the Island]. He enjoyed chatting with her a lot.
According to the system, this female friend seemed to have some money and a cool personality.
What's more, she liked staying at home and had many interests similar to Shen Lang's.
If it weren't for the fact that it was almost 3 AM, Shen Lang might have chatted with her for hours more.
The wind was strong downstairs: "Alright, I have things to do tomorrow. Let's talk again later. You should go to bed early too; don't stay up all night."
Snow on the Island: "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Now that Shen Lang was juggling multiple relationships, he wasn't eager to add more people on WeChat unless absolutely necessary.
The wind was strong downstairs: "We can chat on the app. We're already friends, right?"
Shen Lang's response was very dismissive. With hundreds of unread messages on the app, he'd probably forget about this person in a few days.
It's like meeting a great teammate in a game, adding each other as friends, and planning to play again later.
But as time goes by, the initial excitement fades, and so does the enthusiasm for this new acquaintance.
Snow on the Island: "You'll probably forget about me in a few days, so just add me. I really want to get to know you. Don't worry, I won't bother you too much. We can chat when you're free."
Shen Lang hesitated for a moment: "Alright, fine. I'll add you, but I'm not always online, okay? {dog emoji}"
Snow on the Island: "Thanks!"
[Ding! Ye Yinan's favorability towards the host has increased by 2 points, currently at 20 points. Keep it up!]
"Hmm, Ye Yinan. Why does that name sound familiar?"
That night, Shen Lang heard the system's notification sound countless times and read over a hundred female names.
But Ye Yinan's name felt oddly familiar, like he'd heard it before.
Since he couldn't use the Eye of God to check Ye Yinan's profile directly through the screen, Shen Lang decided to search the name online.
The next moment, Shen Lang was stunned by the results on a financial news website.
[Founder of Ye Corporation, Ye Hai, and his daughter Ye Yinan attend a Bulgari jewelry gala!]
[Ye Corporation, a leading company in Jianghai City, is accused of monopolizing profitable industries.]
[Ye Hai, founder of Ye Corporation, donates 1 billion to a charity foundation!]
[Jianghai City's richest man's daughter finally appears—she's actually her!]
Countless exaggerated financial news articles and real photos of Ye Yinan were in front of him, and Shen Lang was completely thrown off.
He just wanted to use a dating app to earn some coins, and he ended up catching the daughter of Jianghai City's richest man!
