Chapter 87 Can you play games
Ten thirty in the morning.
“Alas!” Meng Lang sighed as he came out of the building where Jiuzhou Publishing House was written.
I still took it for granted...
The refusal was very tactful, and he also gave professional suggestions very considerately, such as submitting short comics like this and introducing several Internet websites. and well-known popular science magazines.
However, this approach has proven to have little effect.
Of course, if he is willing to use his money and spend millions, there will be publicity and exposure.
However, this kind of market behavior that is completely inconsistent with the laws of the market will inevitably end up being a dog.
The most important thing is that money is wasted and money is wasted. If someone notices it one day, it will be troublesome to explain it at that time.
How can we promote things quietly and quietly...
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang, and it was Duan Xian's call.
"Hey! Alang, are you free at noon?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"My mother made a table full of dishes, and I have to let you Come over for a meal and say thank you very much.”
“Auntie is too polite.”
"Anyway, I'm at my wits end. She said, if you don't come over, I won't have lunch, so you can do whatever you want."
"Haha! Okay, I just haven't got my lunch yet. Then send me your location and I'll be there in a moment Go.”
“Chi Chi Chi Gu Gu…Chi Chi Chi Gu Gu…Ouch~”
There was a vague background sound from the phone, it seemed like someone was talking softly over there, vaguely. A cry of pain could be heard.
After a while, Duan Xian's voice came again.
"Ahem! Ah Lang, pay attention to your appearance when you come to my house, just... dress up a little, do you understand what I mean?"
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
Do I need to pay attention to my appearance when I go to your house?
He lowered his head and looked at himself. His sports clothes were clean and tidy, and he had gone to bed early and gotten up early recently, keeping in good health and exercising.
Although my eight-pack abs are still shyly hidden in my belly, I can still be considered a spirited young man.
Hmm...it's just that my hair is a bit long.
Also, if you go to someone’s house for the first time, you shouldn’t be too rude.
And it doesn’t quite fit in with my “live streaming trendy persona” persona, so I’ll do a full show and help people to the end!
"Okay! I get it!"
Hung up the phone and thought about it.
Anyway, I have to go home to worship my ancestors in two days, so I will buy myself an outfit.
It’s not to impress my parents or anything.
But for the wanderer who works hard outside, if you look more glamorous, your parents will be less sad behind their backs...
Meng Lang glanced around and walked straight into the not far away place. A large shopping mall.
Half an hour later, Meng Lang, who had changed his outfit, walked out of the mall carrying the changed clothes.
He has short and capable hair, a close-fitting beige shirt, a casual black suit, a pair of brown casual leather shoes, and the latest Juchang Watch2 watch on his wrist.
Meng Lang spent more than three thousand soft girl coins, which was not too high-profile, but it really made him feel... that he had indeed completed a class jump.
The first pot of gold was 14 million. I repaid a loan of more than 500,000 yuan, gave 1.5 million to Duan Xian, lent out 5 million, and still had about 7 million in the card.
If you don’t buy a house, this is still a huge sum of money.
As he walked towards the bus stop, Meng Lang always felt that something was missing.
Passing by a 4S store, he suddenly realized that he was worth tens of millions and didn't even have a decent mobility scooter.
Not to mention buying a tycoon model like Yan Weiwei, how can you make a breakthrough from scratch?
Walking into this 4S store, a sweet-looking sales girl walked up with a professional smile.
"Sir, do you want to buy a car?"
"Yes!"
"Then do you have any requirements for the brand price?"
Meng Lang already had a plan in mind. He glanced around the store, and his eyes lit up when he saw a compact car.
"That's it!"
"Uh..."
Sign the contract and entrust the license agent to deliver the goods to your door.
After filling in the information and paying, the whole process took less than twenty minutes.
After walking out of the 4S store, Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh.
“No wonder rich people always say that buying a car is like going out to buy groceries, just two words! Cheap!”
……
Noon Ten Half past one.
"Ding dong!"
As soon as Duan's mother opened the door and saw Meng Lang, she immediately beamed.
"Xiao Meng, here we come, hurry up, hurry up! Come in."
Meng Lang also smiled and handed over a bag of gift boxes.
“Hello, aunt, I’m short of time and have nothing to prepare, so I brought some health care products to my uncle.”
Meng Lang walked into the room. It was a 100-square-meter suite with a warm decoration style. It looked like an ordinary well-off home.
"It's great if you come, why don't you bring some gifts?"
Duan's mother looked Meng Lang up and down, and her smile suddenly became brighter.
"Xiao Meng, come and sit down to eat."
Duan Xian came out of the kitchen with two plates of food, his face seemed a little helpless.
"Sit down, dinner will be served soon."
"How is uncle now?"
"You can have surgery tomorrow. He is in good condition." Duan Xian said.
"That's good...Hey! Thank you, Auntie!"
Taking the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Duan's mother, Meng Lang was stunned for a moment as soon as he sat down.
There were four sets of dishes and chopsticks placed on the table, but there were only three people here.
Duan's father will have surgery tomorrow, so it obviously can't be him.
"Are there any guests today?" Meng Lang looked at Duan Xian and asked doubtfully.
"Well...my sister is coming back today." Duan Xian gave a look that you knew.
Meng Lang was stunned.
After looking at Duan Xian with a helpless expression, and then at Duan's mother with a smile on her face, she felt a sudden toothache.
After doing this for a long time, Duan’s mother really introduced her daughter?
No wonder I need to tidy up my appearance!
Mother Duan’s execution ability is really good, she was caught off guard!
Meng Lang thought of another question.
How come there have been so many episodes... and none of the brothers reminded me?
Obviously my influence on Duan Xian and the others only stopped at the ward visit. Logically speaking, it should not affect today's meal.
Is it because they think this matter is not worth wasting words at all, or...
Meng Lang thought about it a little bit.
According to my brain circuit, this kind of thing is like eating an orange and accidentally eating a super sour one. My next reaction is usually...
"Oh, it's so sweet! Come and try one too."
emm...
For the first time, he strongly condemned his bad nature of being a spectator and having no sympathy!
"Ding dong!" At this moment, the doorbell rang again.
“Xiaoyi must be back!”
When Duan's mother got up to open the door, Meng Lang walked over to Duan Xian speechlessly and whispered, "Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
"I wanted to inform you in advance, mainly because my mother didn't know how to You didn't tell me in advance!
You put a knife-like gaze on my neck, how do you think I could tell the news? "
Duan Xian said helplessly, he looked at Meng Lang's new look. Dressing up, I also have some toothache.
“I asked you to dress up ‘a little’, but you didn’t understand the code. How come it’s like going on a blind date? Is there still some tacit understanding?”
"Shit! I was preparing my outfit to go home, who would have thought I would get caught in the crossfire!"
Meng Lang rolled his eyes.
"Xiaoyi, put your luggage down, wash your hands and come over to eat."
"Mom, I'm too sleepy if I don't eat. I didn't even sleep well on the plane. I'll go first Get some sleep and go to the hospital to see dad when you wake up."
A slightly hoarse young girl's voice came from the door.
"How can that be okay? Eat first and then go to bed. There are still guests here today!"
"Guests? What guests?"
Hearing the footsteps of the two approaching, Meng Lang felt in his heart Quite uneasy.
Not counting the time with Ou Lu in "Fortress Besieged", this was the first serious blind date in his life.
You are unprepared for the first confession?
The key is... Duan Xian's last meaningful sentence "Unfortunately for the family" last time made Meng Lang think for a while.
My brother is not going to trick me, so what if he is a "Qianjin"...
How should I show an awkward but polite smile and politely decline Duan's mother's kindness?
The next moment, a girl walked in.
She looked directly at Meng Lang, the only stranger present, and was stunned for a moment.
Meng Lang was also stunned for a moment.
This girl’s appearance has completely inherited the excellent genes of the Duan family, and she is no less than an internet celebrity.
She was wearing a jacket, jeans and a peaked cap.
The dress is a bit neutral, but based on the figure and appearance, it can score over 95 points. It is not as "exaggerated" as imagined.
He is not tall, about 1.5 meters tall, with some dark circles on his face, and his skin is very white, the kind of pale that rarely sees light.
"Brother? Who is this?"
"Oh, this is my buddy from college, Meng Lang, the prodigal son, and this is my sister, Duan Xiaoyi."
"Uh...hello !" Meng Lang stood up and greeted the other party, then glanced at Duan Xian questioningly.
Is this what you call "unfortunate family"?
If this family is unlucky, is it possible that the domestic family happiness index will fall into negative numbers?
You don’t want to be my uncle, so you deliberately lied about military information, right?
Duan Xian gave him a small look that you gradually realized.
When Duan Xiaoyi saw this scene, how could he not know what was going on?
But she glanced at Meng Lang, frowned, and sat down obediently.
Mother Duan saw that everyone was sitting down and the atmosphere looked good, so she smiled and said.
"Xiao Meng, I have to deliver food to your uncle. You young people can eat it by yourself. You can't let go when I'm here.
Treat this as your own home, don't be polite .
Axian, take care of Xiao Meng and your sister for me.”
“Got it!”
Mother Duan went out with a thermos. The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
"So you are that Meng Lang?" Duan Xiaoyi looked at Meng Lang and smiled.
"I heard what my mom said. Thank you so much for my dad. We will find a way to pay back the money as soon as possible."
It was normal and polite to speak, and there was no The problem girl's arrogance made Meng Lang even more confused.
“No, no, no, I told my aunt, this is the investment dividend earned by Duan Xian himself.”
Duan Xiaoyi glanced at Duan Xian and curled his lips.
"Just my brother? I believe he is proud in love, but proud in shopping malls. I really didn't realize that he has such a talent."
Duan Xian twitched the corner of his mouth, "Ahem! Let's eat! Xiaoyi, it's been a long day. It’s time to travel, you must be tired. If you are tired, eat quickly and go back to your room to sleep.”
Duan Xian looked like he wanted to end the meal as soon as possible.
Duan Xiaoyi glanced at him, then turned to look at Meng Lang.
“I can probably guess what my mother means, so I’ll be more direct. I have a good impression of you.
He doesn't look too insecure like my brother, and his character is also very reliable.
But... can you play games? "
"Uh..." Meng Lang was stunned by this question.
Now the opening questions of the blind date bureau have changed from "Do you have a car?" "Do you have a house?" Did the question escalate to "Can you play games?"
"Yes, your brother and I used to play League of Legends a lot when we were in college. ”
"How does your level compare with him?" Duan Xiaoyi pointed at Duan Xian.
"This..."
Your brother is a diamond after all, and I, a handicap, am still in the bronze category. There is no comparison at all!
I have lived in college for four years, but I have not been able to live the way I want...
"Ahem! My sister is an LPL player." Duan Xian couldn't stand it anymore and directly road.
Meng Lang was stunned.
LPL, the League of Legends Professional League, is the highest-level LOL professional competition in China. It is also the only channel for domestic divisions to lead to the annual LOL Championship and LOL Global Finals.
"It turns out that your kid's level is so high because you have such a powerful sister hidden in your family!"
"Haha! They were all tortured." Duan Xian sighed with a look on his face.
"Was it worse than my brother? Then I'm afraid we are not suitable." Duan Xiaoyi frowned.
"Uh..."
Most people may have thought about the reasons why they would be rejected on a blind date.
Ugly rejection, poor rejection, short rejection, honest rejection...
But this is the first time I have encountered someone who was rejected because they didn’t play the game well enough.
On the importance of rank...
Duan Xiaoyi took a few mouthfuls of rice, yawned, and looked like she was really sleepy. She politely said goodbye to Meng Lang and went back to her room to sleep.
"Well, don't mind it. My sister has a very irregular schedule. She probably stayed up late last night."
"I don't mind this, but I do mind that you have Such a sister, why didn't you tell us earlier? Tell us, how come I can’t get into Baiyin in a university?”
“Well... with your handicap, I guess the professional ones may not be able to do it...”
>"Nonsense! How will you know if you don't try!" Meng Lang looked angry.
"And I think your sister has a good personality and is a professional player. Why is her family so unlucky? Are you really a sister-controller?"
He stared at Duan Xian suspiciously.
"Don't be deceived by my sister's appearance. I'm doing this for your own good." Duan Xian looked helpless.
“She is a heartthrob even if she doesn’t speak, and she will choke her to death when she opens her mouth.
That is to say, she has a good impression of you, otherwise when my mother finds her a boyfriend, she will say Just turning around and leaving without saying a word is a sign of honor for her.”
"Really?"
"Even if it's fake, do you think that with your bronze level, you can meet my sister's requirements for mate selection at least as a 'same level' opponent in this life?"
"Uh..."
I admit, there is little hope in this life.
But nothing can be too absolute. I have so many brothers, maybe there will always be one who can live up to my expectations? (End of chapter)
