116: Chapter 116 Lin Wanwan

...

Zhang Shan looked at the two dejected and exhausted people and said with some frustration, "Look at you. It's just a few lost games. Is it really necessary to act like this?

"You need to pull yourselves together, persevere, and have the determination to defeat your opponents...

"Now that you've rested enough, come on, let's play two more rounds. I'm going to go on a killing spree this time..."

First blood

Double kill

Triple kill

Killing spree

Rampage

Unstoppable

Godlike

Legendary

Legendary

...

It was truly a hearty slaughter.

Zhang Shan achieved a crushing score of 20 kills, 0 deaths, and 0 assists.

Meanwhile, Peach and Yuyuan were "Gold Medal Supports," each with 0 kills, 10 deaths, and 10 assists.

Zhang Shan had dragged the two of them to play Honor of Kings all night. He had a blast killing, but the other two were exhausted.

As a result, they didn't get up in the morning. They had no choice but to take the day off and skip work.

Near noon, Zhang Shan ignored the two who were still catching up on sleep and called a driver to take him to a Qiandao Coffee.

This was the location for his blind date today, and his date was the great beauty his mother had told him about, Lin Wanwan.

Zhang Shan walked into the shop and scanned the room, but he didn't see the Lin Wanwan from the photo.

There were still 10 minutes until the appointed time; girls probably wouldn't arrive this early.

Then he found a random seat by the window and sat down.

A waiter came over to ask, and Zhang Shan said he would order once his guest arrived, then waited quietly.

To be honest, if it weren't for the sake of his mother's pride, he wouldn't have come out to waste time.

Playing games at home was much better than sitting here having an awkward conversation.

While waiting, Zhang Shan checked the reward Yuyuan had brought him.

[Ding! Your favorability with the bound streamer has reached 100 points. Reward obtained: Super Beauty Pill Biotechnology Team.]

[Super Beauty Pill: Beautifies the skin, restores vitality, and makes one look younger...]

Super Beauty Pill, Biotechnology Team?

"Hmm, if this stuff is made into cosmetics, it would be a total dimensionality reduction strike against them."

Zhang Shan couldn't help but marvel. The technologies rewarded by the system were all super technologies that could subvert industries.

One could imagine the sensation these things would cause once they were launched.

Fortunately, technology in the Eastern Power had exploded in recent years, combined with its formidable national strength, otherwise...

After waiting for about 8 minutes, Zhang Shan saw a white figure walk in through the door.

It was Lin Wanwan.

She wore a simple white dress, her jet-black long hair draped naturally over her shoulders, and a faint smile played on her fair, pure face.

A scent of first love wafted towards him.

This...

Even the "well-traveled" Zhang Shan couldn't help but be slightly dazed.

Lin Wanwan walked straight to Zhang Shan, then generously reached out her hand and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Lin Wanwan. You must be Zhang Shan, right?"

Lin Wanwan had clearly seen Zhang Shan's photo, which was why she recognized him immediately.

Zhang Shan stood up, shook Lin Wanwan's hand lightly, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Shan. Please, have a seat."

Zhang Shan pulled out a chair for Lin Wanwan, and after she sat down, he returned to his own seat.

Although things might not work out with this Lin Wanwan, some basic etiquette was still necessary.

After all, they were introduced by an acquaintance. How he behaved would also affect his mother's reputation.

Seeing that the person Zhang Shan was waiting for had arrived, the waiter came over to ask again.

The two casually ordered a cup of coffee and then began to size each other up.

"You look a bit more confident than in your photo," Lin Wanwan spoke first.

She was right about that. Money is a man's courage; a man with money is filled with confidence.

"Hehe, you're also more beautiful than in your photo."

Zhang Shan's words weren't a compliment; Lin Wanwan really did look better than her photo.

"Hehe, thank you. You're very special. Most guys aren't as composed as you when they see me.

"I guess you're also curious why I'd come on a blind date, right?

"Are you thinking to yourself that a girl as beautiful as me must have some kind of problem to be on a blind date?"

Seeing Zhang Shan's eyes gradually widen, Lin Wanwan burst into laughter.

"Hehe, you don't have to look at me so shocked. I don't know mind reading. Actually, I've been suspected by others before, so I know.

"Anyway, let me state first: I'm not sick, and I like men. I'm just here because I couldn't resist my family's nagging. It's also not bad to come out and clear my head.

"Besides, beauty can't put food on the table. For me, it's actually a source of trouble."

Listening to Lin Wanwan talk so much, it was the first time Zhang Shan had heard that being beautiful was a burden.

However, judging from the girl's manner of speech and mental state, she really didn't seem like someone with any issues.

Perhaps it was because her upbringing was strict and she didn't have any messy thoughts.

Otherwise, she wouldn't say that beauty was a trouble.

"Hehe, so that's how it is. Actually, I was also required to come by my mother. We're kind of in the same boat."

Zhang Shan gave a bitter laugh and told the truth directly.

Since the girl was being so candid, he wouldn't hide anything either.

Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Shan's words.

This Zhang Shan was completely different from the guys she had met before. His gaze was incredibly clear, and he didn't look at her with possessiveness like others did.

And most importantly, he was also forced into the blind date by his family.

She had also agreed to the blind date because her parents had nagged her until she had no choice.

In that case, why not make a deal with him? They could help each other out by pretending the blind date was a success.

That way, they wouldn't have to worry about their families urging them to get married anymore.

Then she could focus on her career in peace.

Speaking of her career, a cloud of worry immediately hung over Lin Wanwan's heart.

After graduating from university, she resigned from her first job because of sexual harassment from her boss.

Her father had even almost gotten into a fight with the man.

Because of this incident, Lin Wanwan didn't go out to look for work again.

Instead, she planned to make a living online at home. She saw many streamers making a fortune, so she also started a career as a streamer.

But the results were very disappointing.

Originally, she thought she could become popular relying on her outstanding looks.

However, in a livestreaming industry where filters are comparable to face-swapping surgery, her looks had no advantage at all.

So after streaming for over a month, her Livestream Room never even exceeded 50 people.

Usually, there were only single-digit viewers, half of which were her own and her family's accounts.

Finally, she learned her lesson and recognized the reality: the "beauty streamer" track wasn't for her.

A girl with looks exceeding 90% of the population actually couldn't make it as a beauty streamer.

She didn't know where the problem was.

After two months of hard study, Lin Wanwan decided to start over as a "stunt streamer."

But before that, she had to solve the problem of her parents' marriage nagging.

Lin Wanwan looked at Zhang Shan and said somewhat tentatively, "Um, Zhang Shan, have you ever thought about... just...

"Agh, I'll just say it. Since your parents are nagging you to get married and mine are too, why don't we pretend the blind date was a success? Then they won't nag anymore.

"That way, we'll both be relieved, right? What do you think of my idea?"

Zhang Shan looked into Lin Wanwan's blinking big eyes right in front of him and found it hard to say no.

"You're really full of ideas. That's a brilliant plan."

"So, you agree?"

Perhaps realizing she was a bit too eager, Lin Wanwan leaned back and continued, "Since you agree, we have to set some ground rules.

"We're just faking it. Currently, we can only communicate online, like making phone calls or sending WeChat messages. We can't go on dates, have meals, or watch movies for any reason.

"Even more so, no physical contact. Oh, and no ambiguous words can appear in our chats.

"Hmm, that's about it."

Lin Wanwan began to list various conditions one by one, counting on her fingers.

Zhang Shan wanted to laugh seeing how serious she was, but he held it in.

This girl seemed a bit silly and cute...
