21: Chapter 21 Unreliable Weather Forecasts

When Chen Sheng asked if they should find another place to grab a bite, An Xiaonuan nodded without hesitation and said, "Absolutely!"

As for the issue of eating too much at night and gaining weight? Sorry! As someone who eats everything in sight yet somehow never gains weight, she had never experienced any anxiety about that. Do you?

The two drove to a BBQ stall they often frequented near their rental, had another round of BBQ, and then returned home, satisfied.

Upon returning home, both of them flopped onto the sofa in unison. Watching TV while scrolling through TikTok was their usual pre-sleep routine.

However, the first thing An Xiaonuan did when she opened TikTok today was to check the video Chen Sheng had posted earlier.

Soon, An Xiaonuan's exclamation rang out in the living room, "Oh! Hubby, your first video has already broken ten thousand likes."

"Really?" Chen Sheng leaned in and saw that it had indeed surpassed ten thousand. He quickly pulled out his own phone, opened TikTok, and logged into the backend to check the specific data.

"The view count for the first video has already exceeded 80,000; it must have entered the traffic pool. The other two videos have also reached over 50,000 views."

"Quick, check the follower count," An Xiaonuan urged.

Chen Sheng scrolled up on the interface, his pupils constricting slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "The follower count actually broke five thousand."

You have to realize that his follower count hadn't even reached a hundred before.

"Wow~ it went up so much." An Xiaonuan expressed her genuine envy.

She also loved posting on TikTok to share her daily life, but in the end, her follower count was surpassed by her own slacker husband in just one day... no, half a day. It was quite infuriating.

"Hubby, your account has really taken off. I think you should really consider the possibility of doing live streams," An Xiaonuan brought up the old topic again.

After all, she didn't know that he was no longer the person he used to be; he was now a man bound to the Daily Intelligence System.

In her view, as long as the account was growing, taking the opportunity to switch tracks and enter this industry would likely lead to success if one was willing to put in the effort.

As for the low probability? Sorry! In her opinion, nothing can be guaranteed one hundred percent.

"Mhm! I will seriously consider it." Chen Sheng used a delaying tactic and redirected the topic back to the video itself, "Wifey, hurry and check the comment section, see what everyone is saying."

The two huddled together, with An Xiaonuan operating the phone to open the comment section.

"This woman actually said she knows how to drive. Could her driver's license have been bought? I suggest the police uncle check it out."

"Tsk tsk! You can't mess with female drivers!"

"When the woman in the video said, 'All the residential areas around us drive like this,' all the pressure was put on the Shu City Traffic Police. @Shu City Traffic Police"

The key thing was that underneath this comment, the Shu City Traffic Police actually replied. Although it was just an OK hand gesture, it made the netizens incredibly excited.

"Oh ho! I have a feeling that the way things develop from here will definitely not be simple..."

After the initial chaotic state of the internet, most netizens now had quite sound values.

Of course, there was no shortage of those speaking up for the young woman.

However, when faced with these comments, neither Chen Sheng nor An Xiaonuan cared—they treated it like hot air... no, An Xiaonuan couldn't stand it.

Although she wouldn't stoop to swearing back, she immediately took Chen Sheng's phone and, using the permissions of Chen Sheng's own account, deleted, blocked, and reported these accounts with warped values one by one.

The whole package, not one step missed.

Watching An Xiaonuan locking horns with these accounts, Chen Sheng couldn't help but laugh and cry as he advised, "It's not necessary, really not necessary. Just pretend they're spouting nonsense. If you tire yourself out, I'll be the one who's heartbroken."

"No way! They can't badmouth me, let alone you." An Xiaonuan puffed up her cheeks and tapped the screen with her finger. While she was speaking, she had already finished the full package service for one account.

Chen Sheng: "..."

What could he do? The fact that he didn't burst out laughing on the spot was already a testament to the resistance he had built up after so many years of being together.

Chen Sheng subconsciously reached out and ruffled An Xiaonuan's hair as if they were in the honeymoon phase, pulling her into his embrace and letting her continue to dish out the full package service to one 'pontificating' hater after another in the comment section.

Time marched into July.

In the morning, Chen Sheng, as a person of leisure, still drove An Xiaonuan to work.

After a goodbye kiss, Chen Sheng watched An Xiaonuan walk into the building. Chen Sheng withdrew his gaze and silently recited in his heart, "Open system panel."

host: Chen Sheng. Level: Level 1. Upgrade Experience Points: 8 / 100. Unread Intelligence: 2.

Chen Sheng lightly tapped the unread intelligence.

【Today's Intelligence 1: At the pedestrian street near the University of Electronic Science and Technology in Shu City, the automatic beverage vending machine next to the Mixue Bingcheng milk tea shop, the fourth slot in the third row, XX beverage (ad space), is currently holding a 'scan code to get cash' event. Purchase the last bottle of tea drink and scan the QR code on the bottle body to receive a random cash red envelope, with the prize amount between 100-2000 yuan.】

【Note 1: This beverage cash event ends on September 30th.】

【Note 2: This intelligence is valid until July 1st, 12:30. Expired intelligence will be automatically voided.】

【Today's Intelligence 2: At 4:00 PM on the 1st, the entire city of Shu City will welcome a sudden downpour, which will last for four hours.】

After reading the intelligence, Chen Sheng took out his phone and opened the weather forecast. Looking at the words "Sunny All Day," he didn't know whether to complain or feel relieved.

Should he complain that his country's land area is too large? So large that the weather forecast for just one city can only achieve 50% accuracy, and within that 50% accuracy, it often happens that it's raining on the east side while the sun is shining on the west side, leaving people not knowing whether to bring an umbrella or apply sunscreen when they go out.

An Xiaonuan often complained about this problem.

It's nothing like those countries with small land areas, where the weather forecast just says, "Rain nationwide today," and it's damn accurate.

However, now was not the time to dwell on this. After his daily complaint about the ridiculous weather forecast, Chen Sheng drove toward the snack street near the University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Getting the reward from Intelligence 1 was the priority now.

As the University of Electronic Science and Technology was Chen Sheng's alma mater, he was very familiar with the pedestrian street. This time, he could consider it a revisit to old haunts.

When he arrived at the pedestrian street, even though it was a weekday and only morning, the street was still bustling with people and very lively.

Especially outside the Mixue Bingcheng shop; ever since Chen Sheng started university, he could see an endless line every time he passed by.

Following the system intelligence, Chen Sheng quickly found that automatic beverage vending machine.

Not long ago, the Staff Member must have restocked the vending machine. At this moment, every slot in the machine was packed full; looking from the outside in, you couldn't see the end of it.

However, right next to the vending machine was a BBQ stall. Chen Sheng remembered that this owner had unique seasonings, and their business was among the top in this pedestrian street for that type of shop.

Eating BBQ with an iced beverage—the feeling was indescribably refreshing.

Therefore, the products in the automatic beverage vending machine never had trouble selling.

However, even though the products didn't have trouble selling, and even though there was plenty of time for today's intelligence, Chen Sheng didn't try to take advantage of small gains by waiting for customers to help clear some inventory before making his move. Instead, he walked straight to the vending machine, first checked the XX beverage inventory on the screen, and then decisively scanned the code to empty the XX beverage inventory directly.
