Although Yan Xi was a novice and enjoyed playing games, her financial constraints had always led her to adhere strictly to the principle of "hard work over spending money."
As a result, her game characters typically sported basic or event-provided skins.
But then again, what gamer didn't appreciate a good-looking skin?
With Gu Yang's financial support, Yan Xi dutifully played alongside her, exploring the special effects of various characters except for Flower Fairy.
While deeply engrossed in their game, a man wearing a cap that obscured most of his face stood not far from them.
He scrolled through photos sent by his employer on his phone, glancing in the direction of Gu Yang and Yan Xi.
Gu Yang, hidden behind a fluffy mask that revealed only her eyes, and Yan Xi, without a mask due to her recent decline in popularity, were oblivious to his scrutiny.
