"What exactly do you want to say?"
Alex was getting a bit impatient and asked directly.
"Young Master Alex seems to have taken a fancy to my two good sisters, but they are not so easy to handle." Yan Bianman said with implication.
Alex was noncommittal and didn't speak. He was waiting to see what shocking words Yan Bianman would say next.
Seeing this, Yan Bianman's smile became ambiguous, "But if you have my help, then Young Master Alex's blessing of having multiple women is not impossible. Just promise me one thing."
"Oh?" Alex looked at her in surprise, "Aren't you good sisters?"
Alex had finally seen what plastic sisterhood was. In order to achieve her own goals, Yan Bianman actually said she would help him achieve the blessing of having multiple women. The key was that the two female targets were still Yan Bianman's best friends.
Seemingly knowing his thoughts, Yan Bianman explained, "Young Master Alex might have misunderstood. I didn't say I wanted to harm them. You don't know this, but the circle where Miao Meiyuan, Yu Xinyao, and I grew up is very complex. As long as you are strong enough, they might be willing. Being with you, Young Master Alex, might also be a good thing for them. Of course, everything depends on your ability. I will only provide some help within my power."
Alex couldn't imagine what kind of mood Yan Bianman was in when she said these things, but he didn't intend to agree to Yan Bianman's request. However, he was curious about what Yan Bianman's purpose was, so he asked her with interest, "What is your request? Let me hear it."
"The copyright for that song is in your hands, right?" Yan Bianman asked.
Alex didn't react for a moment.
Yan Bianman added, "I Miss You. I want the copyright to this song. It doesn't have to be exclusive."
Alex was stunned. He never expected Yan Bianman to make such a request. What could be the purpose of wanting the copyright to a song? It was nothing more than taking a fancy to the song, wanting to sing it herself, and becoming famous overnight. Yan Bianman actually held such an idea.
At the same time, a prompt appeared.
[The girl reveals her ambition to you; she longs for your help, and for this, she is even willing to pay a certain price.]
Alex's intuition told him that the "certain price" probably didn't refer to the friendship with Yu Xinyao and Miao Meiyuan.
Although he roughly guessed Yan Bianman's thoughts, Alex still asked, "What do you want to do with it?"
"Not sure yet. I've read quite a few news stories like that, where singers become famous based on one song and then amass wealth. Perhaps I can do it too," Yan Bianman said frankly.
"You have that much confidence in this song?"
"I trust my feelings."
Looking at the confidence the smiling girl inadvertently revealed, Alex shook his head inwardly.
Honestly, he didn't think highly of Yan Bianman. In his past life, the song "I Miss You" sung by the youthful girl group didn't become popular at first. It wasn't until several years later that it suddenly exploded in popularity. Yan Bianman was just an ordinary girl, and her singing ability might not be top-notch. Alex didn't think she would have such explosive luck.
However, Alex was not prepared to refuse her request. In order to fulfill Yan Bianman's wish and obtain the crystallized treasure chest, every treasure chest was very precious, and all he was paying was a song he didn't need.
Under Yan Bianman's expectant gaze, Alex nodded. A flash of excitement crossed Yan Bianman's eyes, and she looked at him with gratitude.
In a place she could not notice, a much smaller and less ornate treasure chest materialized, which Alex collected into his backpack.
The quality of the treasure chest Yan Bianman condensed was very average. It was likely because she lacked confidence in whether she could succeed with just one song. Perhaps she saw the potential of the song and just wanted to take a gamble, which was why the treasure chest was so ordinary.
However, even the most ordinary treasure chest was worth far more than a song, so Alex was still in a good mood. Seeing Yan Bianman, whose joy was overflowing, he kindly offered a suggestion: "It is quite hard for a song to become popular through legitimate channels, but the internet is a good platform to showcase yourself."
"Thank you, Young Master Alex. Things like copyrights should require a contract, right? I will come find you again after I go back and study it. If I succeed and get rich, I might even consider keeping you."
Yan Bianman winked at him, beaming with smiles, and turned to head downstairs.
Alex was left speechless.
"Ambitious girls are quite cute too."
Alex muttered to himself, took out the treasure chest he had just obtained, and opened it.
[Energy Potion]
?
What is this?
The first reward already gave Alex a bad premonition. Associating it with the many gentlemanly items the treasure chest had opened in the past, he could not help but pick it up to inspect it immediately.
[Energy Potion: Drink it when your body is depleted to restore your stamina to a vigorous state.]
"Oh, so that is what it is."
Alex flashed a smile that every man would understand.
Next, he looked at the second reward, which was another card.
[Unexpected Fate Card]
Damn it, another one right after I used one. This thing triggers automatically. Alex wanted to throw it away, but thinking about it, he could not bear to, so he stored it in his backpack instead.
The third reward was quite an interesting item:
[Short Video Platform Exposure. Specify a song, a movie, or a person to increase the probability of them being seen on short video platforms.]
This thing was practically tailor-made for Yan Bianman. Could it be that her obsession influenced the treasure chest, leading to the creation of such a compatible item?
Returning home in the evening, he did not see Freya anywhere. Alex heard movement on the second floor and immediately rushed over.
He saw Freya in his room, staring blankly at a bed sheet with a few traces of red on it.
Alex's mouth twitched. He had hidden it so well before leaving; how on earth did she find it?
Alex immediately said: "I accidentally spilled some paint on it. What is the matter?"
"Paint? No wonder you suddenly changed the bed sheets. So it was stained. But why does the color look like blood? A girl's blood? Come to think of it, why did I sleep so soundly last night?"
Freya turned her head, examining Alex with a subtle gaze, while asking thoughtfully.
"How could there possibly be a girl in my room? You are overthinking it."
Alex said calmly.
"Then explain the smell on it."
Freya did not believe him and grabbed the bed sheet, bringing it close. Alex immediately smelled a faint fragrance. An Suling had actually dressed up specifically when she came over last night; the scent of her perfume was all over it.
Alex broke out in a cold sweat. A woman's intuition was truly too accurate.
Seeing he was speechless, Freya flew into a rage: "It was Xiao Fu who stained it, right? You actually let her sleep in your bed! That little vixen! She did not even pay attention when she was on her period. I am going to find her parents!"
While cursing and swearing, an angry Freya gathered up the bed sheet and was about to go to Kiara's house to confront her parents.
