The Fine Food Broadcaster

Chapter 15 System, You Cant Be Like This!

When Ye Fei realised it was Ma Cuihua outside, he no longer dared to jump around joyfully. He quickly said, That, ah, Big Sis Ma, I was just dreaming. I dreamt that I won a 5 million yuan lottery, haha

Outside, he heard Ma Cuihua spat before laughingly scolding him, You nasty brat. Its already daylight outside but youre still dreaming. Have you gone crazy thinking about money?

Ye Fei only replied with a little hei-hei laugh.

Ma Cuihua knocked again, Open up quickly, I say, just what are you really doing inside?

Ye Fei really dared not open the door. He feared nothing on heaven on earth, only Ma Cuihua.

Big Sis Ma, do you need something? Im still in bed,

Ma Cuihua, What else do I want? The rent, ah. You little brat, are you skipping work again? Are you planning to avoid this months rent?

How can this be? Didnt I promise to pay on the 15th? Its only the 11th today, I still have 4 more days.

Enough with your nonsense, open the door now. Im nearly scalded to death.

What? Scalded to death? Whats going on?

Ye Fei had no idea what was going on but seeing as Ma Cuihua refused to leave, he was left with no other choices. Finally, the door slowly scraped open. Standing just beyond the door was Ma Cuihua with a bowl of egg noodles in hand.

A confused Ye Fei scratched his head. Elder sister Ma, do you like to wander around while you eat?

Ma Cuihua pushed passed Ye Fei and stepped into his room. She placed the bowl of egg noodles on the rickety table and said, I am just worried that some irresponsible brat would suddenly die of hunger just to escape paying rent. Well? Eat that while its still hot.

Ye Fei,

Touched, Ye Feis heart was actually moved to the point that it could not be moved anymore. He never expected Ma Cuihua to personally send a bowl of egg noodles to him. This sly and loud woman actually has such a tender side, ah.

Big Sis Ma, you must be my real blood sister, I was just feeling hungry, ah.

Ma Cuihua flapped her hand at him, Yes, yes, yes, whatever, dont be so sappy. Whos your blood sister, ah? Rent still has to be paid even among blood siblings.

Whatever tender feelings or gratitude that had welled up inside Ye Fei disappeared just as quickly. However, he was really a little hungry, ah. Even though he had already eaten a whole plate of Golden Potato Threads and two packets of instant noodles, it was all too little for Ye Fei. He has an unusually large appetite after all and usually did not have enough to eat. Though he had kneaded his stomach in satisfaction before the camera, that was all an act for the broadcast audience.

Right now, the scent of egg noodles teased his nose, making his stomach cry out in hunger.

This rascal no longer bother to stand on ceremony and quickly pulled out a chair. With a final smile at Ma Cuihua, he said, Then, I shall eat first. Speaking of which, Big Sis Ma, surely you havent put any weird spring medicine into these noodles, right? Ah, allow me to apologise for being too young and handsome first,

When Ma Cuihua heard this, she reached out to grab the bowl of noodles, nearly panting with rage as she scolded, You rascal, if you dont want to eat, dont eat! What weird spring medicine, just look at your skinny self, if this aunty really wants to press you down, do you think you have the strength to resist? Get those funny thoughts out of your head. Give me back my noodles, youre not getting any!

When Ye Fei heard this, he quickly lowered his head and slurped up a large mouthful of the soup. After having staked ownership of this bowl of noodles, he smiled and said, Big Sis Ma, Big Sis Ma, dont be angry, ah. Its just a joke, hehe. These noodles are so fragrant, ah. Ive never had such delicious noodles before.

With that, he slurped down a huge mouthful of noodles.

Seeing the way Ye Fei gobbling up her noodles, Ma Cuihua rolled her eyes. This stinky brat really knows how to talk. Well, hurry up, this auntie still has to do the dishes.

Ye Fei nodded in mid slurp, noodles still hanging from his mouth.

It did not take long for Ye Fei to completely devoured the bowl of noodles. Once the bowl was empty, Ma Cuihua took it away and left, but not before reminding Ye Fei once again to pay his rent by the 15th.

Ye Fei readily agreed, what a joke, in just a little while he will have over 20, 000.00 in his account. This brother will soon join the ranks of ten-thousand-aires. Why should he care about a little thing like room rent?

He was just feeling smug when his phone chirped again, indicating the arrival of a message.

Ye Fei flew to his phone to check the message. Laughter exploded from him, but he quickly stopped himself and stared fearfully at the door. He dashed to the door, opened it, [1] and looked furtively around to see if any lurkers were wondering the passage. However, there was no one in sight. He darted back into his room and closed the door silently before bursting into hearty laughter.

Im rich, Im really rich now. Ye Fei happily flopped back onto his bed.

After rolling around in delight, he lifted the phone to his face to count the number of digits in front of him. Thats a whole 22,400, ah! This was a huge sum of money to Ye Fei. It was the first time he had so much money in hand, how could he not be excited?

Now that Im rich, how should I live? What should I buy? Aiya, it turns out having money is such a pain, ah~

There were some human beings like that. When they had no money, life was dreary but simple with its simple pleasures. When they strike it rich, they would suddenly be bothered by the most inane things. With so many choices suddenly opened to them, they would agonize over what to spend their money on.

Ye Fei happened to belong to this cheap class of people.

Di di~~

While Ye Fei was listing the number of things he needed to buy in order to reflect his new economic status, his phone suddenly chirped to indicate another incoming message.

Ye Fei checked his phone and immediately blanched. His face turned into a nasty shade of green that was close to black.

The message window opened to reveal his account information from the bank: 

[HX20,160 had been deducted on the 11th of November at 11:45 from your debit card with the last three digit number 259. Service charge is 0 Yuan]

Ye Fei,

Ye Fei was dumbfounded, a terrible feeling swept over him.

The f*ck, what is the meaning of this? How could his 20k just now lose a zero at the end? How could someone just transfer away 20k of my money away? Just who is this bastard?!!

Ye Fei was so angry his lungs were almost on fire, at the same time his blood went [hualala!] audibly in his veins. 20k, ah, they did not even have a chance to meet before it flew away. Who the f*ck is so immoral, ah. If this daddy knows, hell peel off their skin, drag out their tendons and drink their blood just to assuage his anger.

How can this be? How can 20k disappear just like that? There must be some sort of system error at the bank or something. Thats right, Ill go see them and make them cough up the money back to me. Ye Fei agonized over this for almost half a day before deciding to go to the bank and check things out.

He stood up and headed for the door. However, before his hand even touched the doorknob, DCB Systems voice echoed in his head. The System has deducted a service charge of HX20,160. In order to access Level 2, the host still needs to pay HX979,840. Please work hard, Host.

Ye Fei,

The person in the room swayed and fell onto his butt. After wordlessly sitting on the floor for a long while, he suddenly leapt to his feet and squealed like a pig escaping slaughter, F*ck your m*m System! That money belongs to daddy, ah! How could you just take it away without so much as a hello or a by-your-leave!? No matter what, thats money I earned, cant you respect me a little?

DCB Systems answer was neither slow nor hurried, Each time the Host completes a broadcast, 90% of your income would be automatically deducted. The rest of the money belongs to Host. The System need not receive Hosts permission for this deduction. This is a non-negotiable term.

Ye Fei wanted to cry. What non-negotiable term? What a great term, ah. The moment it activates, daddy lost over 20,000. Surely this is too harsh?

Ye Fei pulled an aggrieved face and begged, System, you cant do this to me, ah. Why dont you let me save up the money on my own for the second level? I can pay you in one go later, I never like paying in instalments anyway. So, why dont we talk about this, alright?

DCB System, No.

Ye Fei was so angry that his teeth hurt. This System must be descended from thieves and bandits, ah. This is clearly daylight robbery, ah! Isnt the very definition of taking money without permission robbery!?

Just when I thought I have HX20,000 in hand and my little life could become a little more comfortable, but to think I only have HX2,240 left in my account. That is a lot less than my real-life salary, ah.

I seemed to have encountered a fake System, ah. Ye Fei sighed.

This System was just too greedy, he had worked half a day to earn that money only to see it disappear. Is there anything more heinous and terrible than this scheming System?

Suddenly, Ye Feis eyes brightened.

[Gumihou: this ungrateful idiot, did he not think about how little money he really would have without the Systems help?]
