    Rainie Yang ChengLin has taken on the endorsement of an on-line game!; rumor has it that she was paid $3,500,000 NTD. Yesterday, she was styled and transformed into an American Indian female warrior for her print ad shoot. When asked for her view on 瑤瑤 YaoYao, who has recently become super-popular-- was she afraid of being compared to her?-- Rainie laughed and said, "I think I have the face and figure* of a child. Although I don't have a good figure, I will go on-line to play games with everyone!" She will use her "Priestess of Cute" charm to conquer numerous otakus!
    * Translator's Note: Rainie actually used a much cruder phrase. In Chinese, she literally said that she has the "the face and (undeveloped) breasts of a child." I used 'figure,' however, because that is the typical word we use in English... and the basic meaning is essentially the same.

    It's the first time Rainie's appeared in the "image" of an American Indian female warrior; she said that she finally understood the hardship of the American Indians: the headdress alone was already extremely heavy! She revealed that her mother is an on-line "gamer;" her nickname is "Angel." Several years ago, her mother asked her why no on-line games ever asked her to represent them; if she were asked, that could bring "benefit" to her family! Now that she has received an invitation to represent an on-line game, Rainie says that, in the future, she and her mother can go on-line together to practice.

    Rainie said, "My selling point isn't 'hot;' I am also not going down the 'hot' or 'sexy' path. I hope that my game endorsement can 'invade' not only the hearts of otakus... but the hearts of 'sunshine guys' who like outdoor exercise as well!"
