Chapter 266: Chapter 240: Am I That Old?
Gu Ning stared at the picture of herself on the advertisement, dumbfounded.
She truly hadn’t expected that someone—oh, wait, some *fox*—would use her picture for an advertisement, and on a sausage stand of all places.
But it wasn’t exactly a photo. The image on the display board looked more like a drawing. Moreover, it featured five portraits of different species, which corresponded exactly to the females of different species from the five videos she had posted.
All of them were front-facing portraits, wearing masks.
Hearing the loudspeaker continuously blare a familiar name, Gu Ning didn’t know whether to be angry or amused. ’It’s one thing for this little fox to use my name for promotion, but he’s even giving away autographed photos?’
And it was an autograph from "Yuanbao," not Gu Demiao Ning.
’Anyone who had seen her videos knew that Yuanbao was a virtual idol. What kind of Beastman would be foolish enough to fall for this?’
To this day, her account’s backend was full of people who had come to curse her out after her "identity" was verified. No Beastman still believed "Yuanbao" was a real female; there was only the furious indignation of those who felt deceived.
For example, that one named...
Wait.
As Gu Ning thought of this, a sudden realization struck her.
’What was the name of that puppy who was always cussing me out in the comments of my videos?’
Just then, in the Dog Team vehicle trailing Gu Ning, heads began to pop out one by one as they heard what the loudspeaker was shouting.
After the little fox brought out the display board printed with Yuanbao’s image, even the young wolves of the Wolf Team couldn’t resist peeking out.
"What brand of sausage is that?"
"Gu Demiao Ning? Isn’t that guy a virtual vlogger?"
"Hey, Boss, Boss! They’re giving away Yuanbao autographs with the sausages!"
The pups excitedly shook Leo, who was sprawled limply in his seat.
"What Yuanbao? Get lost, get lost." Leo was in recovery. He had used up a lot of energy and wasn’t in good shape. He clutched his abdomen with one hand and laid the other on his forehead, eyes closed. His voice was listless and impatient. "I said I don’t want to hear that Gu Demiao guy’s name again, or that virtual female he made! Once I’m done with this mission, I’m going to hunt him down and beat him up. How dare he use a virtual female to trick me! If I don’t beat the shit out of him, then I’m a dog!"
The pups: "..." ’Boss, do you even hear yourself right now?’
They didn’t dare to contradict Leo right now and hit a nerve. Ever since Gu Demiao Ning’s male identity had been "verified," their boss had spent his free time leaving furious, hateful comments on his videos.
The pups also felt angry and deceived, but most were still fans of Yuanbao. One of them couldn’t help but mutter, "You say you don’t like her, Boss, so how come you’re always hiding under the covers watching Yuanbao’s videos..."
"Who says I was watching!" Leo shot up and gave him a sharp rap on the head. "I was posting comments!"
Speaking of which, Leo started fuming again, cursing under his breath. "That piece of shit. He actually dared to block me and delete my comments. Did he really think that would stop me from cussing him out?"
The pups had no interest in listening to his grumbling. All of them were staring intently at the sausage stand.
"Gu Demiao Ning Brand Big Sausages! The first two hundred orders come with a limited-edition autographed photo of Yuanbao! First come, first served! Don’t just walk on by, you don’t want to miss this!"
The aroma of the sausages and the vendor’s cries wafted in through the open car window, interrupting Leo’s string of "greetings" for Gu Demiao Ning.
He stuck his head out the window and roared, "Turn off that damn loudspeaker!"
The little fox, who was humming to himself while brushing oil on the sausages, pricked up his ears and cranked the loudspeaker’s volume to the max—
"GU DEMIAO NING BRAND BIG SAUSAGES!..."
Leo lurched up to open the car door and get out, but the pups stopped him.
"Boss, don’t move. It’s just a regressed little fox. No need for you to get your hands dirty."
"We’ll go, we’ll go."
How could Leo not know what these little pups were up to? He huffed. "Bring me back two sausages."
Having received his approval, the pups scrambled out of the car with joyous whoops and rushed toward the sausage stand.
"Here you go, you two. Your sausages are ready."
Gu Ning waited in the car for about ten minutes before the little fox ran over, holding two extra-large sausages.
He wasn’t tall enough to reach the car window, so he jumped, hooked a paw over the window’s edge, and handed the sausages to Gu Ning.
As Gu Ning took the sausages, Vine asked, "How much?"
The little fox replied, "Two hundred Beast Coins."
Gu Ning: "?" ’How much?’
’Two hundred Beast Coins for two sausages?! That’s highway robbery!’
’In Zone 19, she could get a layered meat pie as big as her head for less than fifty Beast Coins! And that was in Zone 19, where prices were already high!’
Vine frowned when he heard the price. He also thought it was unreasonable, but they needed to get going. It wasn’t worth wasting time here over two hundred coins.
He stretched out his hand, passed the money over, and warned the little fox at the same time, "It’s fine to make a profit, but don’t take it too far."
