Chen Xu listened to the applause around him, took off the Eye Mask, and looked at the amazed expressions of the people around him. He finally understood why so many people liked to show off.
This feeling was really not bad.
He held it in.
He told himself secretly, trying to control his expression. He couldn't smile, let alone be smug. At this time, the more indifferent he was, the less he cared. In the eyes of others, his image would be even taller.
Of course, he couldn't just stand there like an idiot. He walked to the waitress and handed her the Eye Mask, "Thank you for the Eye Mask."
"You're welcome." The girl was a little excited, and the way she looked at him was completely different from before, as if she was glowing.
Chen Xu felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.
To be honest, this girl's appearance was average, just at the level of an ordinary person. But when her face was flushed and she looked at him with a slightly admiring gaze, it did give him a different feeling.
It was the first time he had received such a look from a woman, and it was very memorable for him.
"Chen Xu, they want you to perform another one."
Suddenly, Dai Zixin shouted loudly, her tone a little excited, "They've given you so many gifts."
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "No, I haven't had breakfast yet."
He knew that at this time, he had to hold back a little. He couldn't perform casually, otherwise he wouldn't be worth anything.
"Oh. Jia Jia, can you help me take care of him and ask him what he wants to eat? I'll pay later."
Dai Zixin was obviously a little disappointed, but she still told her friend.
The waitress enthusiastically greeted Chen Xu, "Come and sit here."
"What would you like to eat?" The girl named Jia Jia took the menu and asked.
"What about you?" Chen Xu politely asked the other two girls.
The two girls ordered drinks, while Chen Xu ordered a sandwich.
Jia Jia placed the order and left.
Chen Xu chatted with the other two girls for a while and learned that they had a good relationship with Dai Zixin, probably as close friends.
Dai Zixin had worked here during her university summer vacation, and they had met at that time.
He wasn't surprised. With Dai Zixin's personality, she must have a lot of friends. In the new department, she had the best relationships, and even Luo Xiyun was particularly kind to her.
After chatting for a while, Jia Jia came over with the food, put it down, and sat down casually, asking curiously, "You must be a professional dart player, right?"
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Not really."
"How did you practice? You hit the target even with your eyes closed. It's amazing." Jia Jia said with a look of admiration, "I've been practicing for months, and I still can't hit the target even with my eyes open."
"It's probably a Talent Card." Chen Xu told the truth. If he didn't have that Talent Card, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
"You acted so well just now. At first, I was fooled by you. You even pretended not to know where the triple area was. I really thought you were a newbie and was worried about you."
Chen Xu smiled without saying a word. He didn't say that it was really his first time playing darts. No one would believe him if he said it, and others would think he was trying to show off.
He picked up the sandwich, took a bite, and thought, Hmm, the taste is not bad.
"By the way, you're so good, why don't you participate in competitions?" Jia Jia seemed to be a particularly talkative girl, and once she started talking, she couldn't stop.
Hearing the word "competition," Chen Xu stopped eating and asked, "There are competitions for darts?"
"Of course, there are." Jia Jia saw that he really didn't seem to know and said, "Darts is an indoor sport that is very popular abroad, and there are many competitions. However, more and more people are playing it in China now, and there are many competitions held every year, both professional and amateur."
Chen Xu asked again, "Then, if you win these competitions, is there a prize?"
Jia Jia said as a matter of course, "Of course, there is. The highest-level international prize is several million. The general domestic ones are also hundreds of thousands. By the way, there was an amateur competition last week, and the first prize was fifty thousand."
Chen Xu was silent.
He felt that he was really stupid. After discovering his Talent Card, he had never thought of the sport of darts. Wasn't this the most suitable sport for this Talent Card?
If he had thought of it earlier and participated in the amateur competition that Jia Jia mentioned, wouldn't the 50,000 yuan prize be easily won? Maybe there were other competitions too.
Thinking of this, his heart was bleeding, and he felt like he had lost a hundred million.
"What's wrong?" Jia Jia found him suddenly silent and asked, a little strangely.
"Have there been any amateur competitions like that recently?"
"You want to participate?" Jia Jia asked with some surprise, taking out her phone, "I'll ask in the group."
Chen Xu waited patiently until he finished a sandwich before Jia Jia got an answer, saying, "People in the group say that it's the end of the year, and there aren't any competitions in the country. The earliest would be after the Spring Festival. There are some abroad, but it's quite difficult to get the qualifications for the competition."
"Oh." Chen Xu was disappointed in his heart, he still had to wait until after the New Year. He originally thought about participating in a few competitions before the end of the year to earn some money.
"Let's add each other on WeChat, and if there's any news about dart competitions, let me know as soon as possible."
"No problem."
Lunch was on Dai Zixin, and she was very generous, going to a rather high-end restaurant.
There were only the two of them for this meal, the other two girls went on dates with their boyfriends, and Jia Jia had to go to work.
Chen Xu didn't stand on ceremony with her, ordering three dishes and a soup, anyway, he could pack up what he couldn't finish.
"Chen Xu, how about we cooperate?" Halfway through the meal, Dai Zixin suddenly suggested, "You're responsible for the performance, and we'll split all the income from this account fifty-fifty."
"Forget it, this live stream is tiring enough to do once. I'm not cut out for this." Chen Xu didn't even lift his head, more interested in the dishes on the table.
Seeing him refuse without hesitation, Dai Zixin looked a little regretful, took a few more bites of food, and said, "In any case, we received a lot of gifts today, mainly thanks to you. I think this money should be split with you."
Chen Xu was also a man of principle, shaking his head and saying, "Forget it, you've already treated me to a meal, how can I take your money?"
"That won't do, one thing is one thing." Dai Zixin's attitude was very firm, saying, "I calculated it, the gifts received should be more than two thousand yuan, I can get thirty percent, which is six hundred, I'll transfer you three hundred via WeChat later."
Suddenly, Chen Xu stopped his chopsticks and looked up at her, "What did you just say?"
Dai Zixin was a little puzzled, thought about it, and said, "Transfer you three hundred via WeChat later?"
"A little earlier."
"The money should be split with you?"
"Earlier."
"Let's, cooperate?"
Chen Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation."
