Instead, Xia Liang simply brought a chair over from the next table and, under everyone's watchful eyes, sat down with a blank expression.
This move naturally drew the attention of the table of girls.
What is he doing? Do we know each other?
This wasn't just the girls' question; the audience in the livestream was also completely bewildered.
[What's the Anchor doing?]
[The audacity to just sit down without saying a word.]
[Seriously, does he think he's so handsome that girls will just throw their numbers at him?]
[Great analysis, but he falls flat when it counts!]
Just as the livestream audience assumed Xia Liang was too nervous to speak, the five girls exchanged perplexed glances.
Who is he? What does he want?
Just as one of the girls was about to ask, Xia Liang finally spoke.
"Pardon me, ladies. Interested in swimming and fitness?"
PFFT!
"HAHAHA!"
Upon hearing this, all five girls in front of Xia Liang couldn't help but burst into laughter. They had assumed he was there to hit on them but never expected a line like that.
It wasn't just them; the livestream audience was also blown away by Xia Liang's move.
[HAHAHA! This Anchor is wild!]
[What the hell is with 'interested in swimming and fitness'!?]
[Is he hitting on them or trying to sell gym memberships?]
[LMAO! I've learned something new today. That's the most audacious pickup line I've ever seen.]
…
Most of the audience was laughing, but a small minority was beginning to see the method to his madness.
[Damn! What a move, Anchor!]
[?? Is the guy above an idiot? What's so amazing about this?]
[If you don't get it, just shut up. Did you not notice how the Anchor got all the girls' attention on him without doing anything at first?]
[Not only that, he completely changed the mood with a single sentence and made them all laugh!]
[Holy crap! Now that you mention it, that's true!]
[Damn!]
…
Xia Liang ignored the stream's chat, fully focused on the situation at hand. His blank expression relaxed into a grin as he looked at the girls.
"Heh, just kidding! The truth is, I've been watching you all from a distance for a while, and I really want to get to know one of you. The rest of you won't mind, will you?"
After he spoke, Xia Liang's gaze swept across their faces. Instantly, all five girls were intrigued. After all, they also wanted to know which one of them had caught his eye. Eager for some drama, they all chimed in.
"We don't mind!"
"Yeah! We want to see who the handsome guy picked."
…
Hearing this, Xia Liang pretended to sigh in relief.
"That's great!"
He then looked at the two girls on either end of the group.
"You two don't mind, right?"
They naturally shook their heads; no one would say they minded in a situation like this.
"We don't mind!"
Getting their answer, Xia Liang turned to the girl next to them.
"What about you? You don't mind?"
"I don't mind."
Watching Xia Liang's performance, the livestream audience was confused.
[What is this Anchor doing?]
[Yeah, why not just ask the last girl directly?]
[I agree. Saving her for last is way too obvious!]
…
Sure enough, after Xia Liang had asked the fourth girl, the target, a sweet-looking girl, seemed a bit nervous. Her cheeks flushed slightly when Xia Liang's gaze finally landed on her.
Xia Liang gave a faint smile.
"And you? You wouldn't mind, would you?"
"Huh?"
At his words, everyone froze. They had all assumed the sweet-looking girl was his target, but apparently not. In an instant, their curiosity flared up again. The sweet-looking girl also snapped out of her daze. Since her roommates didn't mind, she couldn't possibly be the odd one out. She quickly shook her head.
"I don't mind."
The moment she finished speaking, Xia Liang didn't give her a second to think.
"In that case... are you willing?"
"Ah?"
The girl was stunned. All the other girls were stunned too.
Then, a wave of understanding dawned on them.
"Ooooh~"
"Jiajia! Your romance is blooming!"
"He's asking for your contact info! Hurry up!"
Everyone started teasing her. The girl, Jiajia, blushed deeply, suddenly shy. Xia Liang didn't say another word. He simply pulled out his phone, displayed his QR code, and held it out to her, his eyes looking at her intently.
"Jiajia, didn't you say you never dated in high school and wanted to try in college? Opportunity is knocking, don't let it pass you by!"
"Yeah, Jiajia, don't keep the handsome guy waiting!"
…
Finally, unable to withstand her roommates' friendly fire, the girl pulled out her own phone and scanned Xia Liang's QR code. A moment later, Xia Liang saw a new friend request from someone named "Snow White Pig."
He had to admit, the name was quite unique. After accepting the request, Xia Liang brandished his phone.
"Thank you, Fairy Ladies. I shall never forget this assist."
With that, Xia Liang ordered some snacks for the table, paid the bill, and departed, his mission accomplished.
I could have taken it further, but she's not really my type. This was just a live demonstration for the viewers. I'm not about to hurt an innocent girl.
Walking down the street, Xia Liang wore a smug expression.
"Did you all get that?"
By this time, the viewers in the livestream were completely in awe.
[Anchor 999! That was legendary!]
[So decisive, no hesitation. You are truly our master!]
[Master, please accept this disciple's bow!]
[Anchor! Are you the legendary Sea King?]
…
This live demonstration had the single guys in the stream worshipping him.
Two hours flew by. After ending the stream, Xia Liang didn't wander around aimlessly. He went on a shopping spree with the money he'd earned and got home around nine-thirty.
Xia Liang eagerly started his next stream. After all, this was his job.
[You damn Anchor! Why are you so late today?]
[We were waiting for you to teach us more pickup lines!]
[No joke, I used the method you taught yesterday and actually got a girl's number.]
[We're begging you, Anchor, give us more of the good stuff!]
...
Soon, there were five hundred people in the chat, all begging him for more practical advice. But his Qingsheng Experience Card was used up. Opening up a game of Fight the Landlord, Xia Liang steeled himself and started bluffing his way through it.
He had no choice. His computer wasn't powerful enough; it could barely run a simple game smoothly. If he tried to stream a demanding game, the lag would be completely unplayable.
He streamed until two in the morning. Just as Xia Liang had completed his second day's task and was about to sign off, a viewer suddenly sent a Rocket.
A system message appeared in the chat: `[I'm Sorry sent a Rocket x1]`
Anchor, I'm about to get married. By all rights, I should be busy with the wedding and feeling overjoyed. But instead, I just feel exhausted. What should I do?
