Soon after, Chu Qiunan settled the bill and walked out of the bar chatting and laughing with Gao Yue.
"Damn? Is this guy really not coming back tonight?" Ji Bo stood up, looking toward the bar entrance as he spoke.
"Most likely he's not coming back," Zhang Ziming said with a laugh.
"Oh my god—"
At that moment, Tang Ziyun gently tapped her phone screen on the table. It lit up, showing the time: 10:40 PM.
"Want to leave?" Meng Qianyu asked, noticing her action.
"No, I thought it was already midnight. Didn't realize it's not even eleven yet. Let's hang out a bit longer~"
"Mhm, we'll leave exactly at twelve."
"Okay."
Having watched the entire bar for over an hour without any more so-called beauties appearing, Ji Bo was starting to lose hope. Liu Bo and Meng Wenzhou had even less expectation by now.
Just then, another message popped up in the guys' small group chat.
Su Yang opened it to look. It was a message from Chu Qiunan.
Chu Qiunan: @Su Yang, Old Su, thanks for tonight! I owe you one. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just say the word. I won't hesitate!
Su Yang: No need to be so polite. But judging by your tone, you really don't plan on coming back to the hotel?
Chu Qiunan: Hehe, probably, maybe, most likely not.
Ji Bo: [Throws watermelon rind emoji]
Zhang Ziming: Damn, impressive! Didn't you guys just chat for a little over an hour? Already heading to a room?
Chu Qiunan: It's not that blunt. She said she wants to go back to her hotel room to drink, and invited me along~
Ji Bo: Damn! Go back to the hotel room to drink? Can't you drink here?
Chu Qiunan: No wonder you're single.
Liu Bo: Old Chu, you should still be careful, man. Someone you just met inviting you back to her hotel room for drinks? Watch out for a honey trap.
Meng Wenzhou: That's true. The tricks for honey traps are getting more advanced these days. Be careful.
Chu Qiunan: Don't worry, I've got a handle on it. Alright, gotta go for now. Good luck with the rest of your night, bye~
Su Yang: You better come back early tomorrow, kid. We still have to hit the road~
Chu Qiunan: OK!
...
Ji Bo: Yang-ge, can you work your magic one more time?
Liu Bo: You really think my Yang-ge is a god or something?
Meng Wenzhou: Old Su was probably just lucky earlier. It can't be that miraculous. If you don't believe it, ask him to do it again. If it really happens this time, I'll make a move too.
Ji Bo: Meng-ge, don't compete with me for it~
Meng Wenzhou: We'll let our skills do the talking.
Su Yang chuckled to himself and typed: Alright then, I'll cast one more spell. The last one tonight. You guys figure out who's going in.
Zhang Ziming: The way you say it, I almost believe you.
Su Yang: Don't believe me? Fine. Wait for it. Let me think... same as before, count down from ten. This time, two beauties with looks over 80 will walk in together.
Meng Wenzhou: Two? That's pushing it a bit~
Liu Bo: I'm having a hard time believing it too now.
Ji Bo: I believe it!
Su Yang scratched his nose, holding back a laugh: Then you count down from ten and post it in the group.
Ji Bo: OK. Ten, nine, eight, seven... six, five, four, three, two, one!
After Ji Bo sent the message, the guys all turned to look at the bar entrance.
Just then, a group of customers near the door happened to push it open and leave. Just as the door was about to close, a hand from outside grabbed the handle.
Seeing this, their eyes widened instantly, hearts racing.
The girls, noticing their reaction, asked curiously, "What are you looking at now?"
"Could there be more beautiful girls?"
"Shh, don't talk! It seems like there really might be!"
Just as Liu Bo finished speaking, the door was pulled open, and a middle-aged woman in a high-slit black qipao walked in.
"Tch!!" Seeing who it was, the guys deflated immediately.
They thought it would really be two young beauties as Su Yang said, but it turned out to be a middle-aged woman.
"Whew—" Su Yang let out a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid it would actually happen as he said—that would have been truly godlike.
Everyone turned back, no longer watching.
However, Su Yang remained turned, still watching the entrance. A few seconds after the middle-aged woman entered, the door was pulled open once more.
Two beautiful girls walked in.
Su Yang's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "I???!! Holy shit?"
"What's up?" Liu Bo looked at Su Yang, saw his exaggerated expression, and turned to follow his gaze.
When he looked, he almost dropped the glass in his hand.
"God... a miracle!!"
At the same time, Meng Wenzhou and the others had also seen the two girls who entered the bar. From a distance, these two girls looked even prettier than that Gao Yue from earlier.
Maybe it was the makeup, maybe the lighting, but at first glance, they definitely fit Su Yang's description of "looks over 80."
One of them looked sweet and cheerful, the lively and cute type, wearing a white sheer long blouse with a pink-purple short skirt underneath.
The other wore a strapless champagne-colored bodycon dress, carrying a black leather purse. She was tall and slender with a curvy figure, giving off a goddess-like vibe.
"Yang-ge, you... you can really do it?" Ji Bo looked at Su Yang, his face full of shock.
At the same time, Su Yang was asking in his mind:
—System, was this you?
The system didn't answer.
"Do what??" Meng Qianyu asked, completely confused beside them.
"Nothing, nothing."
Ji Bo brushed it off with a laugh and changed the subject: "New targets are here. This time I can definitely do it!"
"What if they have boyfriends?"
"If they have boyfriends, I'll accept defeat. But you never know until you try."
Zhong Qing, nibbling on a snack, laughed: "Then go for it. We're all waiting to see you return victorious~"
"Wait, wait, let me think about how to start the conversation first."
As they were talking, Meng Wenzhou stood up first. "You think slowly. I'm making my move~"
Liu Bo also stood up: "Meng-ge, I'll go with you. I like the cute one."
"Perfect, I like the goddess-type one."
Seeing this, Ji Bo immediately panicked. He hurriedly stood up: "Hey, wait, Fatty, why are you going too?"
"Why can't I go? I'm single too~"
Watching the two of them start to compete, the girls covered their mouths, giggling.
Tang Ziyun laughed and said, "Why don't you all go together? Fair competition~"
"That works too. What do you think?" Liu Bo looked at Ji Bo.
Ji Bo nodded in agreement: "Fine, together."
Zhang Ziming called out then: "Don't you need me?"
"What do we need you for?"
"To play support for you guys! I've got plenty of moves up my sleeve, you know?"
"Then you come too."
Su Yang laughed: "Don't scare them off by going over as a group of four~"
"It's fine. With me here, I guarantee their success. Provided they don't have boyfriends, of course." Zhang Ziming was quite confident when it came to hitting on girls.
"Alright, alright, stop chattering. Let's go." Meng Wenzhou, unfazed, strode over quickly.
The remaining three immediately followed.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
