Volume 1 Chapter 35: With a 3,000 Budget, Enter the PC Forum

Saturday.

After getting up in the morning, the girl started thinking about what she should do today.

After thinking for a long time, other than opening P Station and posting a notice saying, “Streaming tonight at 8 PM,” she couldn’t find anything else to do.

Oh, right. When she finished her first stream mission, didn’t the system give her 20,000 yuan as starting funds?

The girl suddenly had an idea. She needed to buy some streaming equipment. What she had now was too simple. If it weren’t for her powerful software, it would probably be hard to even continue streaming.

For the sake of growing bigger in the future, she decided with tears in her eyes to invest the 20,000 yuan into her streaming career.

So…

“Bang—!”

The girl kicked her younger brother’s bedroom door open again.

Uh…

Lin Yu looked sadly at the doorway and sighed.

“Hey, what kind of face is that…”

Lin Lin talked as if nothing was wrong, walked into the room, sat on her brother’s bed, crossed her legs, and acted very familiar.

Lin Yu sighed again. “Sigh~”

“Uh…”

The girl’s mouth twitched. Did he really dislike seeing her that much?

“Look at you, always looking so gloomy. You’re almost getting moldy at home! Do you hate seeing me that much?”

“It’s just that you’re hard to deal with.”

“You…”

Two dark lines seemed to appear on the girl’s face. She calmed herself, coughed twice to ease the awkward mood, then said,

“Hey, little bro, come out with your bro— ah no, with your sister for a bit. Let’s go buy some things~”

“You just want me to carry your bags again!”

“Uh…”

The girl froze awkwardly for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “Of course not. I just want to spend time outside with my dear brother. Look, we haven’t gone out together for a long time.”

Lin Yu paused, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Lin with a pitiful expression.

“Don’t you have any friends?”

“……”

Tears quickly appeared in the girl’s eyes. She fell onto the bed dramatically, crying loudly. “I’m hurt, I’m really hurt! If you don’t go out with me today, I’m going to make trouble! Wuwuwu—!”

Seeing Lin Lin rolling around on the bed and seriously threatening the neatness of his bedsheets, her brother quickly stood up and stopped her.

“Wuwu… s-so what if I don’t have friends… I just wanted to improve our family relationship…”

Looking at the teary-eyed girl on the bed, Lin Yu finally softened. He sighed and asked,

“Where do you want to go?”

“The digital mall…”

The girl stopped crying, raised her head, and looked at him pitifully.

“The digital mall?”

Her brother frowned. He never expected that answer.

Usually, don’t girls go to clothing stores more often?

“What are you going there for?”

“Well…” Lin Lin scratched her head shyly. “It’s a bit hard to explain. I actually want to buy some computer accessories. I’m worried about getting cheated when buying online. Even though offline stores are more expensive, at least you can see the products directly…”

“You… why are you buying computer accessories? Oh right, on Monday I heard you shouting in your room. What were you… doing?”

Her younger brother looked at Lin Lin with a suspicious gaze from head to toe, making her feel very uncomfortable. She even shivered a little.

Ah, why does it feel like she’s doing something illegal? She’s just being a streamer. But why does it feel so embarrassing if her family finds out?

The girl quickly shook her head. No, this place is not safe to stay any longer. It seemed she couldn’t let her brother come along today. If he kept asking, he might figure it out!

“Hahaha, well, um, I just remembered I have a friend! You keep playing your game. Bye, see you, goodbye~”

After saying that, the girl ran away like the wind, leaving Lin Yu staring at her back with a suspicious look.

Shouting alone in her room, and now suddenly wanting to buy computer accessories… What exactly is she doing?

……………

The girl ran out of the house alone, holding her phone, looking troubled.

Great. Now she had no support at all.

She would have to carry everything home by herself.

Thinking about it, that sounded pretty hard. Well, since she was already here, she might as well look at the items first.

The girl walked into the digital mall and started looking for things according to her shopping list.

Microphone…

“Hey, young lady, looking to buy a microphone? Take a look at this one. The K301 professional microphone works with all kinds of sound cards, looks great too. See this pink version?”

“Uh… I mainly want it for singing and chatting. Um, do you have the kind streamers use? The appearance doesn’t really matter.”

“Oh, I see. Come take a look at this one.”

At an audio equipment store, the girl followed the shop owner around and looked at several options.

“How about this one?” the girl asked, pointing at a well-known brand.

“This one is not bad. But if you add 200 more, you can get the upgraded pro version. The quality is better.”

“Then I’ll take the pro version!” the girl said seriously.

After all, she had 20,000 yuan now. Money wasn’t a problem!

“Well, if you can go up to this price, then adding another 300 can get you a high-end foreign brand microphone. The sound quality is better and it reduces noise more.”

“Ah… just 300 more? Okay… that works…”

“But if you add another 200, you could get our company’s newest product. The previous one was released last year, you see…”

“Uh, the newest model… maybe I should add more?”

“Actually, if you add just a bit more, you can also—”

……………

In the end, the girl walked out of the store holding a microphone that cost over 3,000 yuan, a very high-end external USB sound card, and a very good quality Bluetooth headset.

Too… too scary.

If she hadn’t strongly insisted on not buying a desktop computer for now, the shop owner would have definitely sold her a sound card worth over 10,000 yuan and then convinced her to buy a DIY computer next door.

Goodness. Her original budget was only 1,000 yuan…

After adding more and more along the way, the 20,000 yuan that once felt like plenty suddenly seemed very fragile.

“Enter the PC forum with a 3,000 budget, come home with four Titan graphics cards…”

Lin Lin tearfully went to buy a good webcam, a mechanical keyboard, a mouse, and many other related items.

She had never felt this luxurious before.

In the end, carrying big and small bags.

She couldn’t walk anymore.

Help, this is so heavy!

The girl stood there blankly, holding several shopping bags.

Help… how is she going to carry all this home?!

Lin Lin started panicking on the spot. After worrying for a while, she looked up, and suddenly—

She saw a figure standing not far away.
