The Second Dream Realm

Chen Xu was idle anyway, so he competed with them. As long as it wasn't one-on-one, purely competing on shooting, anyone would have to kneel.

After a few rounds, everyone, including Zhao Gang, was sincerely convinced of their loss.

He was humble in his words, but in his heart, he thought, If I were to show my true skills, wouldn't I scare you all to death?

He had been holding back just now, deliberately missing a few shots.

Although he had become quite inflated recently, he still remembered the principle of not being too arrogant, and he always left some leeway in everything he did.

As for the Live Stream, that was to make money, could it be the same? Naturally, he had to go all out.

"It's a pity, with your shooting talent, if you were just twenty centimeters taller, you would definitely have a chance to play in the CBA," Zhao Gang said with some regret.

Chen Xu smiled and didn't take it to heart. After chatting with Zhao Gang, he had learned that they were all streetball enthusiasts. They had met while playing streetball together.

Later, they gathered together and formed a team, mainly doing training and the like. And their side business was shooting short videos.

Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, short videos were really popular now, so many people were making them.

Zhao Gang and his team had far more fans than Dai Zixin. It was just that their monetization methods were different. They didn't do Live Streams, they mainly sold sports equipment.

They chatted and played basketball, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Let's stop here, it's almost lunchtime," Chen Xu suggested.

"Then let's go."

Zhao Gang and the others packed up their things and walked back to the hotel together.

When they were almost at the hotel, Zhao Gang suddenly said, "Chen Xu, I'd like to invite you to join our short video team."

"Ah?" Chen Xu was very surprised. He didn't expect him to make such an invitation and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Zhao Gang added, "Our team usually shoots videos on weekends and holidays, which won't affect your normal work."

Chen Xu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll think about it for two days and then give you an answer."

"Okay, we'll chat on WeChat then."

When they arrived at the hotel, Chen Xu parted ways with them.

He said he would consider it, but in reality, he had already refused in his heart. He just didn't want the scene to become awkward, so he said he would consider it.

It wasn't that he had any objections to Zhao Gang. On the contrary, he thought this group of people was quite good, very sunny, and also talkative. He could make friends with them. But partnering up was not that simple.

Zhao Gang didn't talk about the issue of remuneration. How much money could he get for shooting once? He couldn't take the initiative to ask. He could only wait for Zhao Gang to decide.

If he gave too much, he would feel bad. If he gave too little, he would feel he was at a loss.

Even if Zhao Gang was like Dai Zixin and didn't care much about money, what about the other people in his team? Once it involved interests, things would become quite troublesome.

Think about it, after he joined, what effect would he have, how many fans would he attract, how much would product sales increase? Was there a quantifiable standard? There simply wasn't. In that case, the distribution of benefits would be an unclear issue.

He didn't want to wade into such muddy waters.

His cooperation with Dai Zixin was different. It was just the two of them, and they could come to an agreement. Moreover, they split the money once for each Live Stream, and the accounts were clear.

If Dai Zixin felt she was at a loss one day, they could directly terminate the cooperation and part ways amicably. There wouldn't be too many conflicts of interest.

As Chen Xu was thinking, he arrived at the restaurant on the second floor. All the other colleagues had arrived, and they were just waiting for him.

After eating lunch, everyone went to their rooms to pack their luggage, got on the bus they had come in, and began the journey back.

After returning from the Hot Spring hotel, Chen Xu didn't see Luo Xiyun for several days. He heard Secretary Guo say that Liu Kun had forced her to stay at home to recover from her illness.

When Luo Xiyun started coming to work at the company, he started running around every day.

Most of the department's advertising business was outsourced to advertising companies, and this advertising company was personally found by Liu Kun. Chen Xu's main job was to contact people from the advertising company.

Before, before even hearing the advertising plan, he had been staying in the company. When he was free, he had to help with other tasks.

Now, the advertising plan had finally been finalized, and he had to run out frequently. Secretary Guo was still quite righteous and allocated a car to him.

A piece of knowledge he had learned in the Dream Realm finally had a use, and that was his familiarity with the surrounding roads.

However, this didn't save him too much time. This city was simply too congested. Moreover, he often couldn't find a parking space. After driving for a few days, he parked the car back in the company's underground parking lot and returned the car keys to Secretary Guo.

It's still more convenient and faster to take the Subway. Of course, that's if you avoid the morning and evening rush hours.

Amidst such busyness, a week quickly passed.

It had finally been a month since the last Dream Realm.

This morning, before dawn, Chen Xu woke up.

He eagerly activated the Virtual Dream Device, and the familiar interface appeared in his vision, with a new prompt in the upper right corner.

"As expected, it appeared."

He felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and when his attention landed on it, a prompt immediately popped up.

"Enter the Dream Realm: 'Beast Invasion'?"

This name...

He stroked his chin, it was in the same vein as 'Apocalyptic Survival', but it was definitely more dangerous. Judging from the information revealed by the name, there was a high probability of encountering monsters.

Is it really a virtual game?

He continued to look at the prompts, which were similar to the first Dream Realm, with three options, but the items provided were different, while the characters were still the same ones.

Finally, he looked at the scanning option, feeling a bit of a headache.

To be honest, he still preferred to copy someone from reality to accompany him, after all, he would be staying inside for half a year, and it would be too lonely by himself. Only those who have truly experienced it know how difficult it is to endure.

As for choosing a companion from the system, he didn't think he had the courage to develop an indescribable relationship with a pure NPC.

If he was going to find a companion, he would naturally look for someone with high looks, a good figure, and an elegant temperament. Even if nothing happened during that time, it would still be pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, it was just in the Dream Realm, and he didn't feel any burden in his heart.

"One principle, I must not look for someone I know. And there can't be any interaction in the future either."

In fact, the easiest way to find someone who meets his standards is to look for celebrities, but the exposure rate of domestic ones is too high, and they are all full of scandals. It's best to look for foreign ones.

He wasn't too interested in foreign women.

Korean women are all cut from the same mold, the most suitable ones are the female celebrities from Japan, not to say that their beauty surpasses that of domestic female celebrities, but at least their temperament is more unique.

Unfortunately, it's too late to apply for a visa now. He can't wait that long.

Hmm, I'll scout one out on the street today.

He made this decision happily.
