Chapter 331 Heart-throbbing First Love

Zhang Heng always partook his new quests at Sex and the City . This was his first time visiting another game checkpoint . Only then did he notice that each checkpoint was styled very differently .

When it came to the atmosphere, the bartender lady’s checkpoint looked like a VIP lounge at an airport . It had a particularly seductive ambiance, and there were even scantily dressed women sitting on each deck . It’s decor also closely resembled a Japanese brothel, with dim lighting and psychedelic music .

“I have never seen you around, but you don’t look like a newcomer . You’re home for Chinese New Year, right? Can I help you with anything?” An uncle in beach pants stood up from behind the cash register, speaking to Zhang Heng with a cigarette in mouth . He seemed to be the only person in charge of this checkpoint . Zhang Heng could clearly see his face and the girls on the deck .

Worlds apart the bartender’s icy countenance, the uncle at this checkpoint was warm and friendly . He walked over, put his hand over Zhang Heng’s shoulder, and told solemnly, “Since it’s your first time here, allow me to introduce you to our special player care service – Heartthrobbing First Love . ”

“This is an exclusive service that only our checkpoint offers . All you need to do is pay one game point for the service . You can see the beauties over there… extend your hand and say hello to them . ”

The uncle gave Zhang Heng an encouraging stare, only to get no response . Not to be discouraged by his lack of interest, he patted Zhang Heng’s shoulder once again . The man’s enthusiastic taps caused his cigarette ash to fall on Zhang Heng’s shoulder .

“That’s right . I know there are certain things you can’t let go of . A lot of young people miss out on finding true love because of that . This is a game for the brave . Every round of the game, each quest you participate in, is filled with crises . As a player, you should enjoy it while you still can . When you’re about to kick the bucket, knowing that you haven’t even touched a girl’s hand is the last thing you want to think about, right? You also don’t want to die regretting you didn’t get to confess your love to the girl you liked . Perhaps then, you might just die a painful death with all that regret in your heart . ”

The uncle was fully committed to his job, and it seemed whatever he said touched the softer parts of his heart . His eyes began to glisten with tears .

“The service we provide at our checkpoint is to help players solve this kind of frustration . You can see many ladies in front of you . You can choose your first love here . This is Cindy, and she is very mature . ”

Soon after that, the girl named Cindy waved her hands at Zhang Heng .

“Bei Bei, your girl next door . Can you feel the sun shining on you?” The girl named Bei Bei popped the bubblegum in her mouth .

“Jia Jia… a true wildcat! She’s famous for her twerking . She’s my personal favorite . This one will definitely be your most memorable first love . ”

“Before you say anything, I know what you’re thinking . Even if you’re an experienced lover and you have no regrets about your first love, our ladies can chat with you before you start your game . They will be with you through your most tormenting moments and help you adjust your mental state so you can cope with the next challenge . Trust me . Your one game point will definitely not be wasted . ”

Zhang Heng finally found the opportunity to speak, “…actually, I am not here to play the game tonight . ”

The uncle nodded, his face displaying an I-understand-you-expression .

“Since when did our place become so famous? Of course, you are most welcome to come and have fun with the ladies . It is impossible to take them out for the night, but our prices are…”

Zhang Heng had to interrupt the uncle to avoid the topic from going in a strange direction . “I’m here to trouble you to identify something for me . ” He then took out the eye jewelry wrapped in two pieces of paper from his pocket .

“Identification . Oh, oh, oh… wait a minute!” The uncle returned to the cashier and squatted for a while . He then started to mutter, “Where’s that batch of tulewood boxes I just bought?”

The girl named Jia Jia took out a women’s cigarette and put it in her mouth . She then left the deck, walked to the cashier, and lit it up with a lighter . She paused for a while before talking to the uncle .

“Didn’t you throw those broken boxes of yours under the fourth deck?”

Blowing a puff of smoke at Zhang Heng, she looked toward him . “I like your watch . Here’s my number . You can ignore that idiot and contact me directly . ”

“Hey, I heard that! What you are doing goes against our original agreement . ” “Don’t be silly . We aren’t partners of any sort . You have to rely on my sisters to help you earn game points . They can live very well without you in an era where entertainment is everything . ” The uncle with beach pants did not look very good after hearing what she said .

“You are so mean,” he muttered .

After that, he walked to Zhang Heng with a bag of tulewood boxes and took the gem from Zhang Heng .

“I have to deal with some things during the Spring Festival . You will only get the identification results after five days . Is that okay with you? Of course, you can pay double the game points and opt for the express service . If you go for that option, you can get it as soon as tomorrow night, but you will have to come and get it yourself . ”

Zhang Heng’s lack of interest in the service seemed to disappoint the uncle . However, he handled his client’s request professionally as he saw a different opportunity presenting itself .

“The regular service is fine,” said Zhang Heng

Now that Tian Tian’s family’s problem was solved, this item was like a bonus to him . Since the matter was basically over now, there was no need to rush it .

“Okay, here’s my business card . If you need any services in this city, you can always call me . ” After that, the uncle winked at Zhang Heng again . “Of course, you can contact me too if you change your mind . ”

“That will not happen, I’m afraid . ”

Zhang Heng accepted the card and left the game checkpoint .

After walking around for a while, making sure that no one was tailing him, Zhang Heng turned in the right direction and returned home . He gingerly opened the door and went straight to bed . The next morning, Zhang Heng was awoken by the buzzing of the soymilk machine . He washed his face and came out with a toothbrush in his mouth . Grandpa had already set the fried sugar cakes and Youtiao on the table . At the same time, a steaming batch of soy milk was ready as well .

“Your parents will be home tonight . After we finish putting up the Spring Festival couplets this morning, we can go pay the supermarket a visit in the afternoon . Is there anything we need at home?”

“It’s okay . I think you have prepared enough . In fact, our fridge is packed to the brim . Even if the world ends now, the food in there is enough to last all four of us a month,” Zhang Heng said while brushing his teeth .

“Your grandmother’s always said that it’s better to be safe than sorry . Oh yeah… I almost forgot . M beans, your mother’s loved them since she was a kid . She could eat at least three packs every Chinese New Year . I will buy some later . ”

“Grandpa… she is 44 . ”

“So what, in my eyes, she’ll always be a child . ”
