Chapter 11: Chapter 10: No Way! My Girlfriend is a Rich Lady?
"Dior mini saddle bag, obviously fake..."
"Burberry Heritage Trench coat? No, the cut is wrong, also a fake."
"Oh? A Rolex Submariner in green? Wrong, the metal hue is off, also a fake!"
"Damn! A Tiffany Victoria collection cluster necklace worth over two hundred thousand? Looking at its luster and design, it\'s actually real!?"
"..."
Gu Yu walked down the street, his eyes quickly scanning over pedestrians, using his entry-level Golden Eyes to swiftly determine the authenticity of the luxury goods they were wearing.
Ever since he had acquired Golden Eyes, he had discovered that many of the luxury items worn by passersby were actually fake!
From mass-market luxury to niche high-end items, they had it all!
Especially for common brands like LV, their clothes and bags, and also watches and necklaces like Rolex, were often found to be high-quality counterfeits!
Of course, he could also spot plenty of genuine items, as this was Xuhui Commercial Street, one of Modu\'s top ten commercial streets after all.
Randomly grabbing a person on the street, they would probably be richer than him…
You should know that some high-imitation luxury goods were also quite pricey!
Gu Yu had his visual fill, and leveraging the convenience of Golden Eyes, the amount of luxury goods he had seen today surpassed his last twenty years combined!
"Tsk tsk, worthy of Modu, there really are a lot of rich people..."
Gu Yu smacked his lips, just a few seconds before he had seen a lady with a pair of sunglasses and a knowledgeable air, carrying a designer bag worth nearly a million, passing by his side.
"What are you mumbling about? Come on, spill it, were you sneaking peeks at the beauties! Be careful, or I\'ll smack you!"
Lin Xinyue turned her head and, pouting, she shook her tiny pink fist at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu turned his face with a dead-serious expression and said, "No! I wasn\'t looking at the young lady! I\'m appraising treasures! See that uncle\'s blue watch over there?"
Gu Yu pointed to a tall uncle standing by the street less than twenty meters ahead, dressed in a deep blue suit with subtle plaids, talking on his phone while a sky-blue watch on his wrist caught the eye.
"Hmm? What about it?"
Lin Xinyue followed the direction of Gu Yu\'s pointing finger and also noticed the watch, her face full of confusion.
"That\'s a Richard Mille RM011 in blue ceramic, worth about 1.15 million yuan... The key point is that it\'s a global limited edition of fifty pieces, and to see one here is just incredible! This is what you call a real tycoon! No... a millionaire!"
Tycoons are usually considered to be nouveaux riches, but this big brother had the look of a successful person, it would be more accurate to call him a millionaire!
Gu Yu couldn\'t help but marvel; he really was broadening his horizons, as he had only heard about million-dollar watches online on usual days, but today he saw one in person!
But this too was thanks to Golden Eyes, otherwise he wouldn\'t have known the brand even if the watch was placed right in front of him...
With Golden Eyes activated, all kinds of information about the entire watch just sprang to his sight! It was as if his mind was equipped with an automatic recognition system—so handy!
Watching Gu Yu\'s contemplative face, Lin Xinyue blinked and said with a quirky expression:
"Why are you suddenly telling me this… It\'s expensive, sure, but that watch looks pretty ugly to me..."
Gu Yu shook his head and remained silent.
Discussing watches with women was like playing the lute to a cow—there was a great disparity in aesthetic preferences!
But the next second, Lin Xinyue lightly tapped her chin with one finger and thoughtfully said, "But... since you know so much about this watch, you must really like it, right? Then I\'ll take you to the store..."
"No way! Absolutely not! It\'s far too expensive!"
Before Lin Xinyue could finish speaking, Gu Yu hurriedly interrupted her.
His mind started frantically speculating about Lin Xinyue\'s identity.
No way! Could it be?
Is my school beauty girlfriend actually a wealthy lady?
Could it be just like in the novels, where a fair and beautiful school beauty is also rich!?
Does Lin Xinyue want to keep me as her kept man?
No, that would be unacceptable! Wouldn\'t that be a loss of face for me?
As Gu Yu was guessing how much Lin Xinyue was actually worth and whether he\'d unintentionally gotten himself a rich school beauty or even the daughter of Modu\'s wealthiest man, a piercing pain suddenly shot through his right arm.
"Hiss——"
Gu Yu sucked in a breath of air, bitterly thinking how ruthless a wealthy girlfriend could be!
"Are you awake yet?"
Lin Xinyue watched as Gu Yu\'s expression went from shock to sudden understanding and then to ecstatic joy, and she knew he had misunderstood her intention.
"What are you thinking about? I can\'t afford a watch that costs over a million even if I sell myself! What I meant was, since you like watches, let\'s go browse in the store together."
She rolled her eyes at Gu Yu, wondering if he actually thought she was going to be his sugar mama.
"Ah, well, cough, I am awake, definitely awake."
The beautiful dream of being supported by his rich girlfriend shattered, Gu Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
At the same time, he berated himself like crazy in his heart!
Gu Yu, what on earth are you thinking?!
You\'re the chosen one with the Check-in System!
How could you even consider being maintained by a woman?
You should be working hard to cheat the system and aspire to support Lin Xinyue instead!
With this thought, Gu Yu instantly felt much better inside.
Right! He had the system! As long as he was willing to spend Check-in Points, earning money would be a piece of cake, wouldn\'t it? Being maintained by a girlfriend was way too lacking in ambition!
Gu Yu felt like he became instantly more dignified!
Looking at Gu Yu, who for no apparent reason seemed all high and mighty again, Lin Xinyue didn\'t even know what to say to him anymore.
Her boyfriend couldn\'t possibly be an idiot, could he? He\'s too handsome for that, right?
"Shall we continue shopping? Didn\'t you say you wanted to buy some makeup?"
Putting away the proud smile on his face under Lin Xinyue\'s scrutinizing gaze, Gu Yu promptly pulled her along to keep moving forward.
If this kept up, he worried that Lin Xinyue would think he was an idiot!
After being pulled along by Gu Yu for about ten meters, Lin Xinyue suddenly chuckled softly:
"Hmm, you\'ve dragged me past our destination. The Dior boutique we were heading to is right back where we were just talking..."
Gu Yu froze in his tracks, turned around, and sure enough, saw a big, black signboard with the large letters "Dior" on it!
The white "D" was especially eye-catching, looking like a gaping mouth laughing loudly in ridicule at him.
"Why didn\'t you say so earlier!"
Gu Yu pursed his lips, having no choice but to lead Lin Xinyue back.
Lin Xinyue stared at Gu Yu with an expression akin to looking at an idiot, explaining leisurely, "Clearly, it was someone who dragged me away before I could even speak, right?"
"My bad, my bad! Major General School Beauty! Beautiful Lin! My dear sweet Sweetheart! I was wrong!"
Gu Yu hastily admitted his fault, full of the desire to survive.
"That\'s more like it!"
Lin Xinyue raised her chin proudly, finding Gu Yu\'s smooth-talking flattery incredibly satisfying!
Indeed, being called beautiful by her own boyfriend sure had a different effect than when others said it!
It was an ultimate boost to a woman\'s vanity!
...
"Eh, there are so many girls inside, maybe I shouldn\'t go in?"
Gu Yu stood at the entrance of the boutique with a very hesitant expression, peering at the exclusively female crowd inside choosing makeup, and he even saw a girl casually comparing delicate lingerie.
As a computer science major, this setting, where women far outnumbered men, surprisingly made him feel quite uncomfortable...
"Oh come on, get in here!"
But Lin Xinyue wasn\'t having any of that. A boyfriend accompanies shopping, so what was he doing standing at the door of the shop?
Was he to serve as a beckoning cat?
Without accepting any refusal, she directly pulled Gu Yu inside.
