Chapter 2: Mantou, You Really Don't Have a Girlfriend

Chapter 2: Mantou, You Really Don't Have a Girlfriend

Oh no, am I about to be exposed!

Song Zhizhi felt a bit nervous and gave a simple explanation of the cause and effect.

She then saw the old man open his mouth in shock, "Little girl, stop joking. This amusement park has been closed for over ten years. Look at it now; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a junkyard."

Song Zhizhi silently took out her business license. The old man’s expression changed, and he sighed with deep emotion.

Before leaving, he even gave Song Zhizhi a bag of steamed buns.

Song Zhizhi was very happy and waved her hand grandly, saying, "Grandpa, come and play often."

"Alright, alright. Little girl, remember to lock your doors and windows at night and stay safe."

Although the old man said that, the look in his eyes before he left clearly suggested, *Has this little girl lost her mind? How could this trash... this amusement park ever be rebuilt?*

*Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—*

As soon as the old man left, Song Zhizhi started munching on a bun while opening the pulsating app.

After reading the posted task, Song Zhizhi’s brows furrowed.

Live-streamed fortune-telling...

Are you kidding me? We’re in an era where science reigns supreme.

Who still believes in metaphysics and fortune-telling?

But the form of psychological counseling most accepted by the public is fortune-telling. I’ll take it!

Song Zhizhi accepted the task very efficiently.

Then she complained in her heart, "System, I know you can hear me. I’m just an ordinary person. You have to teach me how to do this fortune-telling scam, right?"

System: "..."

It’s trying to use moral blackmail on the system!

Doesn't it know that the system has the least amount of morals?

But it still said, "Due to the host's lack of experience, a 'Heavenly Eye' package has been gifted (usable within 24 hours). Please complete the task as soon as possible."

"Oh, it would be best if someone comes quickly. If not a single person shows up, I’m going to curse you to death!"

Song Zhizhi quickly downloaded the software and registered an account. Nickname ID: [Song Zhizhi Fortune Telling].

Live stream announcement: The first reading is free, the second is 1,000, and if I’m wrong, I’ll pay triple the compensation!

After starting the stream, there wasn't a single person in the room.

Song Zhizhi could only hold her phone and walk around her dilapidated amusement park.

The grounds were huge, at least 100,000 square meters, right?

It felt like she couldn't even see the end of it~

Half an hour passed.

There was still no one in the live stream.

Song Zhizhi was tired of walking and was just about to start cursing when she saw someone enter.

[Fortune-telling? Does anyone still do that these days? And it’s a pretty young lady. Why don't you dance instead?]

Song Zhizhi smiled, "My friend, I don't know how to dance. Today is my first broadcast, and the first reading is free. Would you like a reading?"

Mantou: [I only watch dancing. If you don't dance, I'm leaving! There are millions of live streams; there will always be beautiful dancing streamers who welcome me!]

Song Zhizhi was frustrated by her own helplessness. Why are there so many perverts!

She said patiently, "Get a reading first. It’s free for the first person anyway. If I’m wrong, I’ll perform an elephant dance! Oh no, whatever you want to see, I’ll dance it."

Mantou: [Even though I know the streamer is using reverse psychology, I’ll give you a chance!]

Song Zhizhi immediately clicked to connect the video call.

Three seconds later, a face full of acne appeared on the screen. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, with an average appearance and a slightly chubby build.

Song Zhizhi felt that the man looked like an honest, easily deceived "cuckold." She smiled, "What would you like to have read?"

Mantou’s greasy voice immediately rang out, "I want to ask how long my girlfriend will be giving me the cold shoulder this time?"

While they were connecting, three or four netizens entered the live stream.

[Is this brother a total simp?!]

[If your girlfriend is giving you the cold shoulder, it must be your fault!]

[Can the streamer really tell fortunes? Isn't she just using fortune-telling to trick us into giving gifts?]

Song Zhizhi looked at Mantou’s face and silently activated the Heavenly Eye. Images that only she could see appeared before her.

"I'm sorry, you don't have a girlfriend."

Mantou was instantly enraged, "Bullshit! You’re just a scammer! I’m going to report you! I chat with my girlfriend on WeChat every day, you scammer streamer! And you want 1,000 per reading?"

Song Zhizhi said calmly, "You don't have a girlfriend. To be precise, you have never had one."

[The streamer crashed and burned, hahaha! Does anyone actually believe in fortune-telling these days? You actually believed her persona?!]

[Hilarious! Is the streamer cursing this brother? That’s too harsh!]

Mantou sneered, "Streamer, don't blame me for exposing you! Look, brothers, look, this is my girlfriend!"

As he spoke, Mantou opened the photo album on his backup phone. It was filled with photos of beautiful women. The faces and figures were truly stunning and alluring!

[If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I wouldn't be watching live streams! No wonder your girlfriend is giving you the cold shoulder! You’re looking at the pot while eating from the bowl! You deserve it!]

[So beautiful! How did you get this kind of luck, kid!]

Mantou looked at the comments on the public screen and said triumphantly, "Streamer, aren't you going to admit you're a scammer? Still trying to cheat money? I must report you!"

Song Zhizhi sighed. This task really wasn't that easy!

"Brother Mantou, believe me. You really don't have a girlfriend. Let me ask you, have you ever met your girlfriend in person?"

Mantou was adamant, "Of course I have!"

"Did you only meet once, on a blind date? And after that, she often said someone in her family was sick and needed money, so to show your consideration as a boyfriend, you transferred over 80,000 yuan?"

When Mantou heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "How do you know?"

"I also know that your girlfriend was introduced to you by your childhood friend," Song Zhizhi continued, "After you met, the woman wasn't interested in you. The person who has been chatting with you ever since is your childhood friend. Wake up."

Mantou: "You're talking nonsense! The person I chat with is the girlfriend I met!"

"Your childhood friend originally just wanted to tease you, but he didn't expect you to actually pay up when you had money. Later, for the sake of more money, he decided to scam you all the way."

Mantou: "Impossible! I've known my childhood friend since we were in diapers! He wouldn't do this to me!"

"You don't have to believe me, but go to your childhood friend's house secretly right now and see if there's another phone on his nightstand. You'll understand then."

[Suspicious, but she’s making me believe it!]

[Brother! You have to go check! If this streamer is a scammer, we'll report her together! If it's true, we can testify for you!]

[Go, go! It would be best if you could take us with you!]

With the encouragement of the people in the live stream, Mantou called his childhood friend while still on the air.

"Old Liu, when are you free? I've been wanting to thank you for what happened with Xiao Li. Let's pick a time for the three of us to have a meal together."

"We're so close, why the thanks? Your business is my business. If you thank me again, don't blame me for getting angry!"

The two exchanged pleasantries and hung up.

Everyone in the live stream heard the other person's response.

[I don't believe it. Men get flustered when they're feeling guilty.]

[Go check it out, there's something fishy!]

[Check it out so you can have peace of mind. We can help you expose the fake streamer then.]

But Mantou, who was in the thick of it, felt a bit guilty hearing this. Such a good brother—how could he have had a moment of doubt?

However, looking at the comments in the live stream, everyone was still urging him to check.

To prove that their brotherhood was unbreakable, Mantou immediately said, "I'll take you all to see my childhood friend right now. You stinking fortune-teller, just wait for me to expose your true colors. When the time comes, everyone must report her together and drive her out of the live-streaming circle!"

Twenty minutes later, Mantou rode his electric scooter to his childhood friend's place while still connected to the stream.

He knocked on the door, and his childhood friend opened it.

The people in the live stream seemed to see a flash of panic cross the man's face.
