Since Caelus was currently engrossed in his date with the pretty younger sister, she wouldn't disturb them for now. Let them cultivate their feelings first, and let the plot fly for a while.
However, during this time, she couldn't just do nothing besides accompanying March 7th shopping. An excellent female lead must have sufficient subjective initiative…
In the rest area, March 7th lay blissfully on the sofa, sipping milk tea, with a small mountain of shopping bags piled behind her. Even though most people who could afford to shop in the Golden Hour were wealthy, such an outrageous display still attracted countless shocked and envious gazes.
Beside her was Dan Heng, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and Twilight, looking left and right.
Although she was shopping, Twilight never forgot her original mission and goal. Caelus and the numerous players were her biggest prey!
And now, Twilight saw something again that could help her gain favorability from the players…
Twilight's gaze swept over the corner of the street—the trash can.
As a consumer paradise where every inch of land was gold, Penacony's trash cans looked quite luxurious, filled with resources wasted by extravagant residents. No joke, Twilight felt that if she rummaged through all the trash cans in the Golden Hour, her net worth could easily surpass the richest person in Belobog…
Twilight didn't actually need to do this right now. She wasn't obsessed with trash cans like Caelus, and the scattered Stellar Jades mixed in the trash meant nothing to her. Especially now that she had the gold card, theoretically, even if she wanted to give Caelus something, she didn't need to pick it up from the trash.
But Twilight still had to do it!
Who told Caelus to explicitly express his interest in trash cans before?
*Your considerate little girlfriend doesn't know what's dirty or not. She only knows you like things from the trash can, so even if others look at her with disgust, she'll still pick things up for you, clean them, and give them to you…*
While Caelus, that big jerk, was happily dating Firefly, poor little Twilight, unaware, was seriously rummaging through trash cans, helping him complete those trivial collection rewards… *Hehe, who could resist this?*
Twilight refused to believe that Caelus and the players, those fickle DDs, had absolutely no conscience!
And this could also give the players a little surprise and shock. A little girlfriend who gave you rewards every version, what if she suddenly disappeared… First cultivate the habit, let them get used to her existence, and then suddenly cut off the connection.
Even the most hard-hearted players couldn't withstand the shock of this welfare reduction!
Whether it was Caelus or the Express crew, plot enthusiasts or meta players, waifu fans or daughter fans, they all had to obediently pledge allegiance and explode with Jades for her, Twilight!
As for why not use the gold card to buy a bunch of things for Caelus…
If she really bought something exaggerated for him, although she could farm Caelus's favorability, for the players, these things would likely become background props. And no matter how grandly these background props were rendered, their effect on players would definitely not be greater than 1600 Stellar Jades.
In comparison, the Stellar Jades and items she painstakingly picked up from the trash could not only be actually delivered to Caelus and the players, but also appeared more thoughtful…
*Sigh, I'm really a genius~*
"Little Twilight, what are you looking at?"
"March…" Hearing March 7th's call, Twilight silently turned her head, blinked, and hesitated slightly, "Can I… leave for a little while?"
"Of course! I feel a little bad dragging you around shopping with me all the time…" March 7th stuck out her tongue, her cheeks slightly red. "And in the end, I was the one doing all the buying… Hehe, now my long-cherished wish has come true."
"Being with March is fun." Twilight shook her head, preparing to get up and find an empty place to start her trash-picking journey. "Then I'll—"
"Hey, wait a minute, little Twilight, don't go yet!"
Seeing Twilight about to leave, March 7th quickly stopped her, then picked up the bag she had kept beside her and handed it to Twilight: "I picked this dress for you, remember to try it on later! I think it should suit you well, I don't know if you'll like it…"
Twilight looked at the bag in her hands, surprise appearing in her calm eyes. The next moment, those eyes, usually as calm as glaciers, now shimmered like melting spring water, revealing a gentle smile.
"Thank you, March…" Twilight hugged the bag tightly, as if holding a treasure. "I, I'll wear it later… I'll like anything March gives me."
*After all, I'm going to pick up trash later. What if this important gold-exploding item gets dirty?*
*If this commemorative piece of clothing were to get dirty, it would only be meaningful if it happened when shedding blood!*
March 7th didn't know what was going on in Twilight's head. She only saw Twilight's undisguised happy smile. In that instant, March 7th was somewhat stunned.
Twilight's expression didn't usually change much, especially such a sincere and direct display of emotion was rare… March 7th knew Twilight was beautiful, and being with her every day had built up considerable resistance, but seeing this smile, she realized she had still underestimated Twilight's charm.
She could only be glad that Twilight was smiling at her. If it were Caelus, March 7th could imagine him being instantly sunk, then howling like a monkey and running around crazily…
"Ah, oh… You're making me blush…" March 7th scratched her head, her cheeks flushed red. "This was all paid for with your money…"
*No, actually, it was Aventurine's life-saving money…*
Twilight ran off with light steps, hugging the bag, leaving the deeply moved March 7th and Dan Heng behind.
"Sigh, little Twilight has really grown up. In the blink of an eye, she's become such an incredible beauty…" March 7th smacked her lips感慨. "From now on, we have to tell little Twilight to be careful when she smiles. The impact is too strong. Even I pity her, let alone others."
"Luckily it's you here, Dan Heng. If Caelus were here, our Express crew's reputation would suffer again, don't you think?"
"…Dan Heng?"
Under March 7th's suspicious gaze, after a long pause, Dan Heng finally slowly turned his head back. On his seemingly calm face, there was now a suspicious hint of red.
"You're right."
"Right my foot! Why are you blushing!"
"But I think the plan needs a slight modification. We can't restrict Twilight's nature—smiling more on the train is better for her health."
"The sound of your abacus clicking is bouncing off my face!"
