Chapter 118: Chapter 99: Don’t Like Me, I Don’t Do Online Dating

"Anyone want to play Double Shadow Wonderland?"

Chen Mo saw someone looking for a partner to play the game with.

He’d been wanting to play it for a while. He had even bought and downloaded the game already.

But he could never find anyone to play with.

After seeing the post, he felt like he hadn’t downloaded it for nothing.

"Want to play now?"

Chen Mo left a comment on the post.

"Yeah!"

The person replied to his comment almost instantly.

"Send me your Steam ID. I’ll add you."

"Oh, right, do you use KOOK?"

Chen Mo then noticed the person had followed him and sent a private message.

"Okay, my ID is..."

"I use KOOK. Just send me the channel link."

Seeing their message, Chen Mo replied immediately.

The game was on Steam, and KOOK was a voice chat program.

Similar to Discord.

Chen Mo and Old Zhang used to use KOOK whenever they partied up to play games.

At the same time, Chen Mo logged into Steam and immediately received a friend request.

The person also sent him the KOOK channel link.

*BEEP~*

Chen Mo clicked the link and entered the channel.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

A clear, crisp voice, like that of an oriole, came through his headset.

She sounded young.

"I can hear you."

Chen Mo replied.

"Huh? You’re a guy?"

Hearing his voice, the person on the other end paused, their tone laced with surprise.

"Yeah."

"Then why is your Xiaohongshu account a girl’s?" she asked, surprised and curious.

"My hand slipped when I was signing up. I picked the wrong gender."

Chen Mo said casually, his tone natural.

"Huh? You can actually mess that up?"

She sounded even more surprised to hear his explanation.

"Are we playing or not? If not, I’m out."

Chen Mo didn’t waste any time and got straight to the point.

He was here to find someone to play a game with, not to discuss whether he was a boy or a girl.

"Of course we’re playing! What do you mean, you’re out?!"

Hearing that, she immediately dropped the subject.

Soon, the two of them were in the game.

The game had a long story segment at the beginning, making the wait a little boring.

"Hey, I see your IP is in Modu too. Are you a Master Hu?" she suddenly asked, a bit curious.

"No, I’m here for university and work."

"What about you? Are you a Madam Hu?"

Chen Mo shook his head and asked back.

"What’s with ’Madam Hu’... that sounds so awful. I’m like you, a university student in Modu. I’m just starting my senior year."

She clearly disliked the term "Madam Hu" and then gave a brief introduction.

"Senior year, huh? Cherish this comfortable life. Next year, you’ll be slaving away like a beast of burden."

Chen Mo thought back to his own senior year and his life after graduation. The contrast was brutal.

"I wish I could start slaving away next year. At least I’d be earning money."

"Unfortunately, I have to go to grad school, or I won’t find a good job. But isn’t grad school just slaving away without getting paid?"

She sighed, seemingly eager to leave campus and start working like a dog.

"What’s your major?"

Hearing that, Chen Mo was slightly surprised.

’Can’t find a good job without a master’s degree? That pretty much narrows it down to a few fields.’

’Either medicine or law.’

"Law."

Just as he’d expected, she was a law student.

"Which university are you at?"

Chen Mo grew even more curious. For a field like law, your school’s reputation was crucial.

Even more so than in finance.

"Hua Zheng."

"That’s great. It’s highly recognized in Modu."

Chen Mo considered it. A law degree from Hua Zheng was very well-regarded in the Modu area. Finding a good job after grad school wouldn’t be difficult.

"What about you? Which school did you go to?"

She asked him back, just as curious.

"Fudan..."

Chen Mo paused, then said slowly.

"Fudan? Wow, that’s amazing!"

Before he could finish, an amazed cry came through the headset.

"...a certain second-rate university of finance and economics on a side street next to Fudan."

"..."

After Chen Mo finished his sentence, she went silent.

"You’re hilarious."

After a few seconds, she offered a dry remark.

"You’re still in university. Why are you looking for people to play games with online? Don’t you have plenty of classmates?"

Chen Mo asked with a laugh.

The one thing you’re never short on in university is gaming partners.

’And she’s a girl, at that. Does she really need to look online?’

"My roommate doesn’t like games, and the ones who do are all studying for the bar exam."

"And I don’t want to play with my male classmates, so I had no choice but to look online."

She seemed to view him as just another random person online, so she spoke freely.

"You’re not studying for the bar exam?"

Chen Mo chuckled and asked.

"I already passed it this year."

She said, her voice tinged with a hint of pride.

"Impressive."

Chen Mo praised her sincerely. Passing the bar exam on the first try was quite an achievement.

The pass rate for the national judicial examination was only between 10% and 15%, which was very low.

"It was alright."

she said, one part humility and nine parts pride.

"Why don’t you want to play with your male classmates? But you’re playing with me?"

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something she had just mentioned.

’She’s not a man-hater, is she?’

’But I’m a guy, too.’

"If it were really just about playing games, it would be fine. But all the guys who want to play with me also want to date me, and I’m not interested in dating."

"To avoid the hassle, I just don’t play with them at all."

"You’re just some guy from the internet. Playing with you won’t cause me any trouble or complications."

She seemed to have a very clear understanding of what her male classmates were thinking.

"? That confident, are you?"

"Can’t help it. This young lady is indeed a bit of a looker."

"Really?"

"There’s a post on my profile with my picture. It’s definitely not Photoshopped."

Hearing this, Chen Mo picked up his old phone, opened her profile, and found the post.

The post’s title was "New Skirt~"

Inside the post was a photo.

She was dressed in a JK uniform, with a pure white shirt and a black bow tie at the collar.

On the bottom, she wore a blue-gray pleated skirt, revealing long, fair legs.

Her fine, lightly-dyed blonde hair flowed down over her shoulders.

Although her phone was blocking her face, from the faint outline of her eyes and brows, you could tell she definitely wasn’t ugly.

Combined with her fair skin and slender figure, she would at least be considered a beauty on campus.

It was perfectly normal for her to have suitors.

"I can’t see your face, but you definitely don’t look like someone who’s short on admirers."

Chen Mo put down his old phone and commented with a smile.

"Right? Let me just say this upfront: don’t fall for me, okay? I don’t do online relationships."

she giggled, joking with him.

"I don’t do them either."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. ’Who even has online relationships these days?’

’With AI face-swapping, you could be in an online relationship and not even know if the other person is a man or a woman.’

The two chatted for a while and got to know each other a bit better.

Just then, the cutscene finished, and the first Chapter officially began.

Red Publishing House, begin!

The game was actually a two-player co-op platformer.

The two players each controlled their own character, dodging various attacks, jumping over obstacles, and so on.

But they were also a single unit; if either one of them failed, they couldn’t clear the level.

Therefore, it was a huge test of their coordination and chemistry.

It also tested individual skill.

"Ah... I’m dead, I’m dead."

"Hey? How did you fall off again?"

"Oh no..."

"Seriously, sis? You can’t even make that jump?"

"Holy crap..."

"Jimei, at least try to dodge!"

"I’m lagging..."

"We’ve got a bot on our team!"

However, after the game started, Chen Mo discovered they had absolutely no coordination or chemistry to speak of.

Because the other player was just too terrible.

Practically a bot!

"I have a feeling it’s impossible to beat this game."

Chen Mo said suddenly, glancing at their game progress.

With normal progress, finishing the main story would take about 12 hours.

Completing all the side quests would take around 16 hours.

But watching his partner play, he figured even 160 hours would be a stretch.

"Don’t give up! I guarantee we’ll clear it."

she immediately tried to cheer him on.

"Are you looking for people to play with online because you’re so bad that no one at school is willing to play with you?"

Chen Mo asked, his voice filled with suspicion as a doubtful look crossed his face.

He had a feeling this was the real reason she couldn’t find anyone to play with at school.

She was just too bad!
