Chapter 245 Offline Reality
"It must have cost more than 6000 in total."

"How long has it been?" Zhang Zhe pressed.

"Let me see. We met on the 7th, so it's been more than 20 days now."

“6.” Zhang Zhe gestured to his older brother, a relieved smile on his face.

The guy spent over 6,000 yuan on a girl he met through an online platform in just 20 days. Even if they met through a legitimate dating website, he's still a sucker.

It turned out to be not a blind date, but a therapist who didn't sound very respectable...

This guy is definitely an honest man with repressed sexual desires.

Zhang Zhe asked curiously, "How far have things progressed between you two? How many times have you met now?"

"No, we're not in the same place. I'm in XJ, and she's in Lin'an. We haven't met yet."

"Huh?" Zhang Zhe scratched his head.

Six thousand yuan was spent without ever meeting or even holding hands?
This guy probably doesn't understand the dynamics of first-tier cities.

Is this for real? Are there still honest people like this these days?

Is this the kind of manual laborer mentioned online?

[He seems genuinely depressed; you can tell from the fact that he's looking for therapists online.]

"Bro, it doesn't matter if you're rolling gold coins or anything, but from what you're saying, I can tell you do have a little money."

"What I'm curious about is, why do you think this is a relationship problem? Did that woman talk to you about relationships?"

The older brother replied, "Because after I chatted with her on the platform, we added each other as friends, and I transferred 660 yuan to her. Then she video-called me."

"When we were making the video call, he... showed me everything."

"Huh?" Xia Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Zhe couldn't hold back any longer and laughed so hard he almost lost his mind.

Have you seen everything? You've got some skills, bro.

"This price is a bit too high, bro."

"But how should I put it, at least you weren't scammed."

"The other party is quite professional, operates with integrity, and gets paid to do their job. I think you shouldn't talk about feelings with them; that would be an insult to their profession."

"I didn't insult her," the older brother said, his voice a little dazed. "I think this girl is very sincere."

"She... well, she showed me the whole thing. I think we're a good match."

"What makes her suitable?" Zhang Zhe was taken aback by his older brother's question: "Do you like her looks or her figure?"

"Did you have a fortune teller tell you that you want to find a woman with a body like hers?"

"No, no, I just feel that she is right for me."

"Forget it, let's not talk about compatibility." Zhang Zhe skipped over this pointless argument: "You've never been in a relationship, right?"

"Well, no."

"Do you think you're obligated to take responsibility for a girl just because you've seen her body?"

"That's not true."

"So... are you in a serious relationship but can't find a girl who likes you?"

"..." The older brother paused for a moment, then said in a somewhat dejected tone, "Yes."

"I understand."

"You're currently experiencing a psychological breakdown due to a combination of ignorance and lust. Come on, are there any long-time fans in the live stream who can help me roast him?"

[Dude, do you really need to be this thirsty?]

You need 660 to see her, but in her hometown, 660 might be enough to bring her home directly.

[If you're going to be with her, and I give her 660, what are you going to do?]

[Brother, are these kinds of money-transfer-without-meeting events still around?]

[Can you not be picky about gender? I'm a guy, but I'm open-minded and I'd like to earn 600. If not, I'll take the job at half price.]

"Hey bro, did you see the comments?" Zhang Zhe asked, arms crossed. "Any thoughts?"

"I don't think she's that kind of person."

"What kind of person?" "The kind who will do anything for money, because I paid her to quit this line of work."

"Besides, I'm not indiscriminate in my choices," the guy explained to himself. "I've seen girls who do that kind of business before, but she's really different."

"When she video-chatted with me, she didn't use any beauty filters at all, she was completely bare-faced, and it was while she was sleeping, her hair looked like a bird's nest."

"That makes me feel that she is very real."

"Completely different from other women."

"..." Zhang Zhe touched the corner of his eye, having laughed for too long, and relaxed the muscles in his face.

Judging from the stubborn way this guy is talking, it's obvious that persuasion is useless.

As long as the healer wants to make money, she can keep extracting gold coins from this guy.

The only solution now is...

"Brother, since you think she's so suitable, why don't you go find her?"

"Isn't it just Lin'an? It won't take long to get there by plane, right?"

"It takes 5 hours by plane, I've already checked."

“Yeah, it’s only 5 hours, so go for it.” Zhang Zhe encouraged, “But don’t rush to see her when you get there.”

"why?"

"Because think about it, you've just arrived and don't know the local situation. You need to learn about the local customs, figure out what kind of gift to give when you're pursuing a girl, and where to have dinner together, right?"

"That's right, what you said makes sense."

"Can you teach me?"

“I can’t teach you.” Zhang Zhe waved his hand modestly: “When you get there, go for a walk on the street at night, and when you see a brightly lit shopping mall, go in and ask.”

"When you get there, be generous and say that you are very picky and want to choose carefully. Ask the waiters to line up so you can pick something for yourself."

"Just pick the one you like the most and ask her how to pursue the therapist you think is right for you."

Holy crap, Brother Zhang is giving us some amazing guidance!

What if he takes a liking to that girl from the shopping mall?

[A guy who falls for a hostess is a womanizer; he falls in love with every one he sees.]

The most important thing for this kind of man is to demystify women; otherwise, he's just a pure laborer.

"Brother, did you understand?"

"Okay, I understand." The older brother responded, summarizing Zhang Zhe's words: "He told me to take a gift to Lin'an to find her."

"..." Zhang Zhe's face darkened. This older brother had actually missed the most crucial point.

But it doesn't matter. As long as he goes offline, he will grow no matter what.

It's better than being robbed of gold coins by someone thousands of kilometers away.

"On behalf of the audience, I'd like to ask: Where does your money come from? Did you earn it through part-time jobs?"

"No, my family is already rich. My family owns a chain of restaurants, so I don't need to work to earn money."

"Understood, then go and make your preparations."

Before his older brother left, Zhang Zhe gave him two thumbs up. It's hard to imagine that in 2025, there are still such pure-hearted men.

But thinking about it again, the numerous fraud cases that occur every year are understandable; some people are simply inexperienced.

"Why don't I just advise him directly?" Zhang Zhe laughed as he looked at the comments: "Bro, the fact that you can ask that question shows you're just as naive as the guy from before."

"I didn't even see the comments; they just said it directly to people: 'You can watch it for 660, and I can watch it for 660 too. We've both watched it, so why is she the right fit for you?'"

"But what can you do if they simply ignore you?"

"The solution I've provided is already the best one."

Based on Zhang Zhe's experience, this man spent over six thousand yuan on the woman, and even if the two eventually lost contact online, he would definitely pursue her offline.

Because the sunk costs are too high.

But by then, it might cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. It's better to go earlier and learn properly.
