บท 43: "Limited Edition"
'Poor Jia…and she still has to make a plan for tomorrow's game. Aishhh.'
"You really okay, quack?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'll just take a bath first, and let's discuss." Lai Jiayi hurriedly shook her head before she went to grab her pajamas.
It's 3:00 pm already, and taking a hot bath would be good for her body.
She would also be able to relax, even if only for a moment.
"Quackey, enjoy your bath…" Yaya nodded slightly, allowing Lai Jiayi to do as she pleased. He then watched the girl go to the bathroom.
"...her face looks so pale, and she still said she's okay quack, " Yaya murmured to himself just as he saw Lai Jiayi close the bathroom door.
He shook his head and sighed once again, knowing how strong Lai Jiayi was.
'She never shows others her weak self, but maybe right now, she's crying in the bathroom? Who knows.'
Yaya's guess was right on the spot. Lai Jiayi was indeed crying because of her father's condition while soaking herself inside the bathtub, yet 15 minutes later, the girl came out as if nothing happened.
"Okay, I'm ready! Let's discuss the next step we have to take, " Lai Jiayi suddenly spoke as she threw herself to the bed.
'Bathing in hot water really felt good. Now I can think clearly for my plans ahead.'
"Quackey...so it's like this. You have to meet Zhao Yang sooner or later, quack, and I expect your first meeting to be unforgettable, quack!"
Yaya immediately stopped fooling around and spoke seriously to Lai Jiayi.
"Unforgettable first meeting...so that he will remember me, right?" Lai Jiayi rubbed her chin as she looked down at her soft pink pants with a bunny pattern on it.
"Yes, quack! Since you have a limited time to interact with Zhao Yang, it's going to be hard to raise the affection meters, quack."
"I know, and that's why every meeting I have with this man has to be something special." Lai Jiayi nodded.
'That's the only way I can actually beat the others and get his heart!'
"First of all, staging the first meeting with this guy. Let's see...what kind of unforgettable meeting.." Lai Jiayi murmured while Yaya was deep in thought.
'Should Lai Jiayi use the cliche fated encounter in TV dramas? Like she slips in front of Zhao Yang, the man catches her and…'
"Oh!" Yaya shouted all of a sudden.
"What is it?"
Yaya immediately whispered to Lai Jiayi, "Hey quack, listen, why don't you do this…" His eyes were shining, looking as if his plan would work well.
!
"That...is good though I don't really like it." Lai Jiayi pursed her lips.
'The plan looks very natural, and I can use my job to my advantage.'
"Good, good, quack! Let's do this, quack! I'm sure it will be a romantic first encounter, quack," Yaya spoke in excitement.
"We get the plan now, but...when to do it? We have to know when we can meet this guy...but I don't know his schedule, " Lai Jiayi suddenly told Yaya her concern.
"Ah, why, quack?"
"Because..what if Zhao Yang went out of his house at 8 a.m? I won't be able to meet him then! My job schedule is only until 8…"
"Then….do you want to know his departing schedule, quack? Zhao Yang has a consistent schedule for when he goes to work, quack."
Yaya smirked as he 'seduced' Lai Jiayi with what he knew. Of course, this time, she had to pay.
"...how much?" Lai Jiayi immediately knew that she had to trade points for this.
At first, she didn't think of using her points yet, but the mission list was already opened.
'I can do a mission anytime and gain points. Why not use the points to get the greater benefit now?'
"This info is hard to get, quack. Without the info, we might have to stalk Zhao Yang for a week or more, quack," Yaya stalled.
"Just tell me." Lai Jiayi rolled her eyes impatiently.
Being urged, Yaya raised his wings and hurriedly answered,
"Just for 1000 points, you will know his general schedule like what he usually does each day quack! Of course, it's not the detailed schedule quack." He ended his advertisement with a wink.
"...what? 1000??" Lai Jiayi couldn't believe her ears.
'So expensive?!'
"Yes, quack. Trading 1000 points for Zhao Yang's schedule will be totally worth it, right, quack? This way, we can maybe...stalk him…."
"But that's too expensive, ah!" Lai Jiayi protested.
"Duh, we can get this schedule after observing the target for a few years, ah quack! It's hard!"
"I doubt the schedule is accurate." Lai Jiayi tried to bargain.
"His daily activity throughout the week forms a pattern, quack, and this pattern is what we make into a schedule, quack." Yaya tried to persuade the girl.
"Mmm…" Lai Jiayi rubbed her chin, slowly started to consider the offer.
"And all of this information will be given to you as long as you traded 1000 points now, quack!"
"Uh...still..." Lai Jiayi hesitated.
'I need that information, but 1000 is a bit too much…' The girl bit her lips.
Seeing Lai Jiayi hesitated, Yaya suddenly spoke again, "...I have to tell you this, quack."
"Tell me what?"
"Things regarding information in the store are only provided for one player, quack!" Yaya spoke mysteriously.
"Huh??" Lai Jiayi gasped in surprise. "What do you mean? Explain!" she urged Yaya to continue.
"It means once a player bought a certain kind of information, others can't rebuy it, quack!" Yaya coaxed Lai Jiayi with his great marketing skill.
"All the information sold in the store is a limited edition, quack!"
