Chapter 276: Because of Cuteness

When Xia Yu entered Tina’s body, the first thing he met was the white cat.

The white cat rubbed against his hand lazily and stood up, then walked outside.

“Good morning,” Tina greeted him inside Xia Yu’s mind.

“Morning,” Xia Yu replied.

During these past six months, Xia Yu had mostly convinced Tina, making the girl believe he was the white cat’s spirit.

As for the question of why Xia Yu could still move while being inside the white cat, Xia Yu explained that the white cat now had a new spirit to take over, and he had been promoted.

This explanation was somewhat complicated. Initially, Tina didn’t really believe it, but Xia Yu could clearly recount details of their previous life together, making her hesitate.

Also because this explanation was too complicated, Tina’s boost could only stay at LV2 and couldn’t rise further.

This made Xia Yu somewhat regretful. If he could directly upgrade his Business skill to LV3, it would save him a lot of experience cards.

However, this kind of situation was irreparable, and anyway, he still had eighty-one experience cards.

“Has anyone been bullying you recently?” Xia Yu asked Tina.

Because Tina was obedient and cute, when she first transferred schools, she was often targeted by bullies.

“No, they’re all afraid of me,” Tina answered. Xia Yu had basically disciplined all the school bullies, so no one dared to bully her.

The girl asked again, “What are we doing today?”

“Today, we study,” Xia Yu replied. He came here wanting to improve his Business skill.

“Huh?” Tina was puzzled.

Without further explanation, Xia Yu went to the study at home and looked toward the bookshelf on the south side.

“Internal Medicine,” “Psychiatry,” “Anatomy”…

Xia Yu turned around and went to the bookshelf on the north side.

“Criminal Psychology,” “Constitution,” “Law Enforcement Basics”…

“…”

He originally planned to learn business skills through books, but there were no books related to economics in the study.

He went to the computer in the study, opened the laptop, and faced the problem of the startup password again.

He didn’t know what password Tina’s foster parents would set, and he couldn’t possibly use Tina’s body to keep studying on the computer, as her foster parents would definitely not allow it.

Reading books was the most convenient and only way out, but the problem now was that there were no books at home.

Xia Yu checked Tina’s pocket money in her room.

Adding all this money together, it could probably buy an ordinary book, but books involving professional knowledge were mostly thick and heavy volumes, and their prices couldn’t be compared to those of regular books.

“Do you need money? Grandma also hid some money,” Tina kindly said.

“The money your grandma hid can’t be used,” Xia Yu refused Tina’s offer.

The girl’s grandmother had impersonated someone to inherit a wealthy person’s estate. Before being caught, she had hidden a sum of money.

This money couldn’t be used, and Xia Yu was even thinking about having Tina hand this money over to the police.

Staying with him, Tina would never lack money.

However, after Xia Yu subtly suggested this idea, he was rejected by Tina.

The girl could accept him using this money, but she just didn’t want to hand it over to the police.

Xia Yu could only plan for the long term.

“Then where do you get the money from? Ask Dad?” Tina asked.

Xia Yu thought for a while and felt it was more reliable to have An Siyao send the money.

Professional books weren’t cheap. One book might be manageable, but he needed at least dozens of them. This amount of money couldn’t easily be obtained from Tina’s foster parents or the school bullies.

Only by having An Siyao send it.

However, even An Siyao couldn’t act that efficiently, and how to deliver it was another issue.

He couldn’t get the books recently, but he could first get some money to buy one.

Thinking this, Xia Yu went to the living room, where he saw the foster mother reading the newspaper on the sofa.

Now the problem was, how to ask the foster mother for money.

This question stumped Xia Yu, as he had never had such an experience before.

After thinking it over, he went directly in front of his foster mother and said, “I want some money.”

“Why?” The foster mother put down the newspaper and asked.

Xia Yu had originally prepared the reason of buying books to read, but when the words reached his mouth, the Charm skill LV2 in his skill bar activated.

“Because I’m so cute.”

Hearing her daughter’s straightforward answer, the foster mother was momentarily stunned, but soon a wave of affection welled up in her heart.

My Tina is so cute. Giving her more money seemed fine.

Thinking this, the foster mother took out her wallet.

After receiving the money, Xia Yu went to the bookstore on the neighboring street, bought an economics book, and began studying.

He used twenty experience cards.

Eight hours later, he returned to his own body. First, he was happy about reaching Business LV2, then he became alert about the suddenly effective Charm skill.

This Charm skill was a gift from You Xue at Lv4. He had originally thought that as long as he didn’t use it actively, there wouldn’t be any problem. He didn’t expect the skill to activate on its own.

Luckily, he was using Tina’s body at that time.

Thinking about this, Xia Yu went to the kitchen, grabbed You Xue who was cooking, and rubbed her face hard.

You Xue looked at Xia Yu innocently, not understanding what had happened.

“Focus on cooking,” Xia Yu patted the girl’s head again and walked out of the kitchen. He sat on the sofa and began thinking about mobile games again.

He didn’t have much money left and needed to get new funds quickly.

Those gacha games that were just reskins looked rough in production, except for their art, and indeed were rough in production, except for their art. However, this rough production wasn’t simple either. It required an important element—

luck.

There are many reskinned mobile games with similar production, but only a few of them become successful. No one can accurately explain why a particular reskinned mobile game succeeds.

For example, a gacha game with fighting scenes similar to shadow puppetry seemed to have become popular because of a certain month’s fan base. However, another game that used many popular works from a certain light novel series and had even more refined game visuals completely flopped.

Mobile game developers also use a wide net approach, relying on luck.

However, Xia Yu didn’t have to worry about this.

The fortune of reskinned mobile games was fixed. A group of reskinned mobile games competing for fortune is why luck was needed. But in this world, there were no reskinned mobile games yet. As long as the operation was proper, all the fortune could be seized, and it would become an instant hit.

However, making reskinned mobile games later would still depend on luck.

Once Xia Yu made a reskinned mobile game and earned a fortune, he didn’t plan to touch this field again.

If he were to make another mobile game, it would be something like Honor of Kings.

Now there was a problem—he needed artists, designers, planners, and other departments.

It wasn’t easy to gather all these talents.

However, this was Hua University, where, if nothing else, there were plenty of talents.

But how was he going to gather all these talents?

If he personally went to recruit them, it would be too troublesome, and he didn’t know much about the situation either.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu came up with an idea.
