2: Chapter 2 Blind Date

Jinhe City, Mingyue Residential Community.

Fang Zhuo pushed open the door and entered his home.

His parents were out working, and his younger siblings were at school; only his grandfather, Fang Dawei, was in the study playing a game.

"Fang Zhuo?"

"Why are you back at this hour? No work?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Fang Dawei came out of the study and asked.

Fang Zhuo was concise and straightforward as he told his grandfather about losing his job.

Fang Dawei looked at Fang Zhuo with earnest concern. "In this era, starry sky origin power has become thin. Listen to your grandfather: just find a normal job, get married, have children, and carry on the lineage for The Fang Family."

Fang Zhuo had heard these words many times.

It wasn't just his grandfather; his father often said the same thing to him.

In the past, Fang Zhuo was naturally unwilling to accept this, and every time, he would argue until his face turned red.

"Fine."

"I'm actually planning to get married. I intend to go on a blind date during this time. Can you provide some funds as startup capital, Grandfather?"

Fang Zhuo's expression remained calm.

"Want to practice martial arts? No problem. But your Life Level is already 15, and the probability of future awakening is extremely low. The family can't help you; if you want to continue practicing martial arts, you have to rely on yourself."

"Hmm...? What did you say? You said you want to go on a blind date?"

Fang Dawei, with his hands behind his back, had recited his familiar speech before he suddenly stared blankly at his eldest grandson in front of him.

Had this eldest grandson changed his nature?

Regardless, this was a good thing!

If he insisted on practicing martial arts without awakening his Martial Aspect, it would be a bottomless pit, a money pit. Even if he threw all of his own millions in his 'lying flat' fund into it, it wouldn't even make a splash.

Blind dates are good. Compared to that, how much could a blind date and marriage cost?

Thinking this, Fang Dawei waved his hand grandly and said, "Since you've figured it out, then prepare well. Twenty-one is not young anymore. Strive to get married this year after graduation; your grandfather is waiting to hold his great-grandson."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and transferred a sum of money to Fang Zhuo.

"Buzz—"

"Huaxia Bank account ending in 0881 has received 200,000. Balance is 410,862."

Fang Zhuo glanced at the text message on his phone and couldn't help but smile helplessly. This grandfather... he was truly realistic. Ever since his Life Level reached 15 without awakening a Martial Aspect, the old man claimed he had no money, and it became impossible to squeeze a single cent out of him for martial arts practice.

Now that he mentioned a blind date, he immediately allocated 200,000.

"Grandfather, this startup capital doesn't include the betrothal gift, right?"

"Naturally. As for how much the betrothal gift will be, let your father pay for it at that time. If he doesn't have enough, I'll help you make up the difference. Right, let me vet your blind date candidate when the time comes."

Fang Dawei narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Zhuo without blinking.

After transferring the money, he suddenly realized: could his damn eldest grandson be using a trick to deceive him, only to turn around and invest it back into martial arts?

"No problem."

"I'll submit my blind date information right now. Once the Federal System assigns a candidate, I'll let you have a look."

Fang Zhuo smiled. His grandfather was still cunning; vetting was just a pretext—confirming that he was actually going on a blind date was the real goal.

Seeing this, Fang Dawei's worry dissipated by half.

...

In the afternoon.

Fang Zhuo filled in his basic personal information on the Blue Moon Federation system and submitted his blind date application.

He was a level 15 martial artist and possessed a 'Parental Certificate'. Even though he was only a Martial Arts Junior College student, to the Federation's population of over a hundred billion, he was still considered a highly sought-after catch.

The matching priority was not low.

The results came out that evening.

Within the Xia Kingdom, the Federal System prioritized the Guangbei Province and Jinhe City, matching him with three suitable blind date candidates.

After looking them over himself, Fang Zhuo took the documents and entered his grandfather's study.

During this time, his parents arrived home one after another. His father, Fang Wu, went to the bathroom looking exhausted, while his mother, Li Ru, put on an apron and went into the kitchen.

Fang Zhuo and Fang Dawei, one old and one young, discussed the candidates in the study.

[Candidate 1: Zhao Xuan]

[Age: 26]

[Life Level: 11]

[Education: Academic Undergraduate]

[Occupation: Bank Employee]

[Monthly Salary: 5500]

[Debt: None]

"This Life Level is a bit low, and she's on the older side. But she has an academic undergraduate degree, which will be better for educating children in the future. Her job is stable, and she looks quite pretty."

Fang Zhuo remained silent. He had already made up his mind, but he patiently listened to his grandfather's serious analysis.

[Candidate 2: Huang Hui]

[Age: 23]

[Life Level: 13]

[Education: Martial Arts Junior College]

[Occupation: Training Institution Teaching Assistant]

[Monthly Salary: 8500]

[Debt: None]

Fang Dawei's eyes lit up. "This girl is good. Her Life Level and age are close to yours, and the key point... she can definitely bear children."

Seeing that Fang Zhuo didn't respond, he knew he wasn't interested, so he scanned the next one:

[Candidate 3: Bai Shiwei]

[Age: 21]

[Life Level: 18]

[Education: Martial Arts Undergraduate]

[Occupation: Student at Jinhe Martial Arts University]

[Monthly Salary: None]

[Debt: 388,000]

"...Martial Arts Undergraduate?"

Fang Dawei was slightly surprised. He stroked his small beard and looked at his eldest grandson, seeing Fang Zhuo's gaze fixed intently on the girl's photo.

He immediately had his answer.

What a sin...

This Federal System, what kind of shitty matching mechanism is this? Do they even understand algorithms!

Fang Dawei cursed in his heart.

This girl named Bai Shiwei was young, pretty, highly educated, and had a high Life Level, yet she was matched with his eldest grandson. No need to think about it—besides the debt, there must be a huge trap!
