Chapter 4
Chapter 4
The first round of blind dates will begin in three minutes. Participants are requested to choose their blind date as soon as possible.
Just as Tang Yi hesitated, a countdown suddenly appeared on the screen in the center of the hall.
Then, everyone's eyes started to move.
Everyone is trying to decide who to choose as both an opponent and a teammate in the instance.
Xiong Wei had already chosen his target. Seeing that Tang Yi was still hesitant, he walked directly in front of Tang Yi.
The two were less than two steps apart.
Xiong Wei was half a head taller than Tang Yi and much stronger, standing there like a wall.
"We'll be a team." He said decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tang Yi barely managed not to back away, because Xiong Wei was so close that he could even smell the laundry detergent on Xiong Wei's clothes.
He wasn't used to standing so close to men.
Why?
Xiong Wei's answer was brief: "I think you are the calmest person here, and it's safest to be in a group with you."
Tang Yi looked at him, his mind racing.
Although Xiong Wei in front of me looks burly, he is at least genuinely thinking about how to pass the level.
He glanced at the people around him: a lecherous man, a fool who only knew how to laugh, a loud and boisterous woman, and a wary female celebrity.
It seems that pairing up with Xiong Wei is the best choice, since both of them want to complete the game.
Furthermore, based on the description of the previous instance, this game seems to be aimed at marriage.
He's quite familiar with blind dates. If he hadn't been so careless when he was young, he wouldn't be single now, and he wouldn't have met all those weirdos and monsters who go on blind dates.
As soon as those women saw her attire, they immediately mistook her for a turtle in a wishing well, and dared to make any request.
Adding names to property deeds and other such things are just the basics; even more outrageous ones involve demanding that he hand over his income.
In this apocalypse, what difference is there between this and taking his life?
Compared to those women, going on blind dates with men doesn't seem so unacceptable, at least the two of them are unlikely to actually do anything.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yi nodded: "Okay."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xiong Wei's beard immediately spread out like a peacock's tail.
"it is good."
Although it was just an act, Tang Yi felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Just as Tang Yi was thinking, Xiong Wei secretly took another step closer to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi felt the body heat emanating from his arm, and suddenly woke up with goosebumps all over his body. He took a small step back to the side.
Fortunately, Xiong Wei did not follow.
"Never mind," Tang Yi thought, "maybe this person just has a poor sense of social distance."
Meanwhile, Zhao Meng, on the other side, had been observing the situation from the very beginning.
When Xiong Wei walked towards Tang Yi, he almost burst out laughing.
That Xiong Wei is all muscle, his arms are thicker than Zhao Meng's thighs. If any conflict breaks out in the dungeon, he could send Zhao Meng flying with one punch.
Now things are fine; the boys have taken care of two of them internally.
Of the remaining two girls, at least one of them is Zhao Meng's. What a steal!
Zhao Meng's gaze began to shift back and forth between Su Ran and Gu Xingchen.
Su Ran's face is alright, but her figure is a bit lacking, a 7 out of 10. However, she looks like a scheming person.
That female celebrity has a pretty face and a great figure, but she's too thin. If I were to marry a woman, I wouldn't want one who's too thin.
Two styles, two flavors.
At this moment, he was already fantasizing about how he would make advances during the blind date.
As for one of Zhao Meng's fantasies, Gu Xingchen had been observing everyone since she entered the hall.
This is her professional habit. The first thing an actor does on set is to observe. She must quickly determine the basic personality of each person in order to get along well with the crew.
Zhao Meng, who kept staring at her, gave her a disgusting feeling. She had seen many people like him on set; they were all lusting after her body.
The burly, bearded man gave her the most dangerous feeling. He was just too strong. Although his eyes looked clean when he looked at her, this pairing up pattern meant either cooperation or confrontation.
If the game later involves a competitive element, she is definitely no match for that burly man.
She originally intended to collaborate with Tang Yi, but unfortunately Xiong Wei beat her to it.
Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present, finally settling on Shen Gui.
Although Shen Gui's performance so far has been nothing short of disastrous—she's been grinning like a clueless good-for-nothing—she has no other choice.
She didn't want to be paired with Zhao Meng, and since it was a blind date, she felt it was best for a man and a woman to be paired up.
Gu Xingchen took a deep breath, strode up to Shen Gui, and asked urgently:
Can I be in your group?
Shen Gui raised his head, but hadn't had a chance to answer yet.
"Shen Gui is in my group."
Su Ran's voice came from the side, and as if to assert her dominance, she took Shen Gui's arm.
"We came together; we agreed on this beforehand."
She looked at Gu Xingchen with a standard embarrassed smile on her face.
Just kidding. Anyone with eyes can see that Zhao Meng has ulterior motives. Now that Tang Yi has been snatched away by that big oaf, she won't let Shen Gui be snatched away by someone else.
Although the woman in front of her was a celebrity, she was still very confident in her looks, and Shen Gui could not be taken away by her.
Gu Xingchen was stunned. I was asking Shen Gui, "Why are you interrupting?"
"Shen Gui, as long as you agree to go on a blind date with me, I... I'll give you 100,000 yuan when I get back to reality."
Seeing that Gu Xingchen was resorting to underhanded tactics, Su Ran became anxious.
"Hey, you shameless bastard, don't you know what 'first come, first served' means? Why are you trying to steal mine if you can't find another man?!"
Gu Xingchen ignored Su Ran and stared at Shen Gui, waiting for his answer.
"If you want more, we can discuss it."
Seeing the wavering on Shen Gui's face, Su Ran quickly turned his head back and said:
"Shen Gui, we already made a deal outside. If you agree to her request, we'll cut all ties once we get out!"
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Shen Gui's eyes cleared up considerably. He quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no, I'd rather go on a blind date with you."
"That's more like it." Su Ran raised her chin, facing Gu Xingchen with a victorious air. "Did you hear that? Shen Gui is going on a blind date with me. Get lost!"
Gu Xingchen stood there, her expression shifting from surprise to resentment, and then to an indescribable sense of grievance.
She bit her lip, then turned and walked towards Zhao Meng.
When Zhao Meng saw Gu Xingchen walking over, a slow smile spread across his face.
"Big star, it looks like we're a couple. After this blind date, you'll be my wife."
Gu Xingchen got goosebumps from Zhao Meng's nonsense. She sat down opposite Zhao Meng without saying a word, trying her best to keep her distance.
Zhao Meng didn't care, he just kept staring at Gu Xingchen's chest, making clicking noises as if he was appraising something.
Shen Gui, who watched the whole thing unfold, was speechless.
That's great, the show started on its own without him even having to say a word.
