Chapter 175 The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Chu Feifei was as soft as if she had no bones,

she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger,

her breathing was even and shallow, and she was sleeping very soundly.

That session just now had really exhausted the girl.

Lin Chen leaned against the headboard, his mind racing:

After these few days of hustling in the casino, he had earned at least tens of millions;

it was truly satisfying, but it still felt like something was missing.

Just as he was wondering how to get another boost of points, the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed twice,

the screen lit up, and WeChat messages popped up rapidly.

He picked it up casually, glanced at the contact name, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Qin Shu, that Flight Attendant!"

The system's initial rating immediately popped into his head: 91 points!

"Damn, these points are literally money!"

Lin Chen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his heart began to itch:

"Getting dumped can earn me a lot of points, plus there's that Uniform Temptation Blind Box Gift Pack,"

"it's basically meat delivered to my doorstep; if I miss out, I'll have to slap myself twice."

Opening the message, Qin Shu's words had a soft tone:

"My flight back to Macau is tomorrow morning, and then I'll be off for a few days. Are you still in Macau?"

"If you are, I'll treat you to dinner."

His brows suddenly furrowed, and his fingertips rubbed against the phone screen,

as he calculated rapidly in his mind without the slightest hesitation.

"No,"

"I absolutely have to send these two girls away!"

In front of Shen Nian and Chu Feifei,

let alone picking up Qin Shu, even saying a word to her would feel restrictive.

One slight slip-up and he'd be interrogated relentlessly; it would be a huge pain.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and muttered to himself,

"If I get her, won't the system points just skyrocket?"

"I have a faint feeling that the system points might have some ultimate move."

"When the time comes, whether it's upgrading the system or redeeming those practical benefits, everything will be much easier."

"Not to mention that Uniform Temptation Blind Box Gift Pack."

"Who knows what good things are hidden inside?"

The more he thought about it, the more energized he felt,

and the look of determination in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Qin Shu taking the initiative to reach out—if this wasn't a godsend opportunity, what was?

He absolutely couldn't let Shen Nian and Chu Feifei ruin his big plans.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately had an idea, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"I'll let them go shopping at Macau's duty-free malls."

"Then I'll persuade them to go to Hong Kong first and wait for me!"

"On the seventh, we'll fly back to Star City together."

Lin Chen calculated in his mind,

"I'll give them 500,000 yuan each in pocket money, and then promise to buy them limited-edition bags after I win."

"These two girls usually love these exquisite things; with free money to spend,"

"and bags to look forward to, they definitely won't overthink it. They'll just go shopping happily and won't suspect me at all."

"Besides, I've earned nearly fifty million these past few days; spending this little bit is just a drop in the bucket."

"Exchanging a small amount of money for 91 high points and an unknown Blind Box gift pack,"

"is a guaranteed profitable deal; only a fool wouldn't do it."

Having figured this out, his fingertips flew across the screen as he typed a reply to Qin Shu:

"I'm here. I happen to be free tomorrow. Contact me when you arrive, and I'll pick you up."

After sending it, he tossed the phone onto the nightstand, the smile on his face deepening,

his eyes full of determination:

"Qin Shu, don't even think about escaping this time."

He went over his excuse for tomorrow once more,

ensuring it was seamless.

"There is a duty-free plaza in Macau; you guys go shopping there, and then wait for me in Hong Kong."

"I still have some company matters to handle here, so I don't have time to play with you."

He simulated the tone in his mind, trying to make it as gentle and serious as possible.

Lin Chen's smile widened even further.

He began to look forward to tomorrow's meeting.

Just then, Xia Wanrou called.

"Lin Chen, where are you?"

Lin Chen: "I'm in Macau. I'll be back at school on the seventh."

"I'll bring you a gift then!"

Xia Wanrou: "Bring one for Wanqing too. Buy a matching pair of fashionable bags for you sisters."

"No need to spend so much!"

...

After hanging up, Lin Chen realized his ears were a bit hot.

He had been chatting for nearly half an hour without stopping.

He tossed the phone onto the nightstand, and just as he was about to stretch, the screen lit up again,

a string of messages popped up; he didn't even need to check the contact name to know it was his chatterbox roommate, Zhang Peng.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen! How's the holiday going?"

"Exhausted from picking up girls, aren't you?"

Immediately after came another one, with a seaside sunset emoji:

"The three of us—me, Li Lei, and Wu Gang—are chilling at the beach in Guangdong with our respective girlfriends!"

"The wind is blowing, it feels amazing!"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and chuckled to himself; these kids really hadn't listened to his advice in vain.

Just as his finger swiped to the next one, another message from Zhang Peng arrived:

"Tomorrow we're going to Li Lei's house!"

"Didn't he say his home is in Liede Village, Guangzhou?"

"It's close to here."

"His mom was thrilled to hear he was bringing his girlfriend back for a visit,"

"and kept insisting that all three of us come over to stay for two days before heading back to school. She even said she'd make us some delicious food!"

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Peng's irrepressible excitement on the screen,

his lips couldn't help but curl up as his fingers quickly typed, even specifically finding a winking doge emoji:

"So, how is it?"

"Be honest, did you seal the deal?"

"Don't play coy with me!"

Not even two seconds after the message was sent, Zhang Peng's reply exploded back,

a huge happy face emoji followed by a line of text:

"Of course, Brother Chen!"

"All three of us have sorted it out!"

"Everything's set; not a single one of us dropped the ball!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen was also happy.

Sure enough, the advice he gave back then was spot on.

He leaned against the headboard and typed slowly, his tone carrying a hint of smugness:

"Not bad, you guys!"

"Seems like what I told you back then wasn't for nothing, right?"

"If a girl is willing to go on a trip alone with you, it means she's accepted you in her heart, get it?"

"Then you just need to be a bit more generous, spend a little money to treat her to some good food, buy some small gifts,"

"be a bit bolder, and guide things along a little—then it's done! It's not that complicated!"

After sending that, he specifically added another sentence, as if sharing a secret technique:

"To tell you the truth, when it comes to picking up girls,"

"as long as the girl agrees to go on a trip alone with you, just be bold; it's guaranteed to happen that night, no doubt about it!"

Zhang Peng replied instantly from the other side with a string of fist-and-palm salute emojis:

"Got it, got it, Brother Chen!"

"It's all thanks to you; otherwise, the three of us wouldn't have known how long we'd have dawdled!"

"When we're back at school, I'll treat you to a great meal. Order whatever you want!"

Lin Chen shook his head with a smile and replied:

"Alright,"

"Keep your word,"

feeling quite a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

After all, watching his brothers leave the single life one by one felt even better than doing it himself.
