For the following two days, Lin Huang spent most of his time inside the Gun Master game. After two days heād only managed to learn three intermediate gunfighting techniques. He was training past 10 at night when his phone started ringing. Seeing that it was Yang Ling, Lin Huang exited the game and picked up the call.
"Is there any news?!" Lin Huang was worried.
"The lady has just logged into the Chilly Night app..."
"Whatās her location, send it to me right now and Iāll go over!" Lin Huang asked for the address before Yang Ling could finish talking.
"Erm... This is the reason why I called. I canāt locate her..." Yang Ling looked embarrassed.
"Didnāt you tell me you could locate her as long as she uses the application?" Lin Huang was suspicious.
"Thatās because I thought she only had the programming removed from the location service and it wouldnāt affect the location of the app. I didnāt know that she got the entire location receiver in her Emperorās Heart Ring removed."
Yang Ling said helplessly, "To crack the ring open and work on the chip isnāt easy. I donāt think anyone in Luoxi City would be able to do it, thatās why I thought she had only gotten the code for the location system removed. Now that the location receiver has been destroyed, even my personal code for the location services couldnāt locate where she is..."
He was embarrassed as he had told Lin Huang that he could do it.
"Canāt locate her..." Lin Huang frowned as he listened. He had faith in Yang Ling to get it done, he did not expect to hear this.
After thinking for a while Lin Huang thought of an idea.
"Iām thinking to download the app myself and register an account. Since we canāt locate her, Iāll ask her out.
"Thatās a great idea!" Yang Ling agreed with Lin Huang but not completely.
"However, itās too suspicious to register a new account now; as she could see the date and time of registration. She knows that sheās being hunted down by the Hunter Association, so she will be wary of accounts that are new. Let me give you the testing account that I used, it was registered three years ago. Upload a picture of yourself and key in your own profile. She wonāt suspect a thing. Donāt expose yourself when you talk to her... Never mind, Iāll help you with the talking. Youāre such a serious guy that sheād never fall for you. Iāll be monitoring your conversation with her, you can copy whatever I send you and send it to her."
"Sure!"
Lin Huang agreed immediately. Although heād used a similar phone application when he was on earth, he couldnāt bring himself to flirt with a stranger. Using Yang Lingās method, he was just being a middleman where Yang Ling was the one actually talking to the lady. All he had to do was forward the messages. Immediately after the phone hung up, Yang Ling sent the password to his account. Lin Huang logged into the application after heād downloaded it using the username Super Hunk, Lin Huang was tempted to change the username, but he couldnāt find the settings button.
He then started to amend his profile. Now that he looked like himself on earth, he was sure of his own body and in less than a minute, the new profile was done. He changed into something more casual and took some photos from different angles, uploading the photos to his own page.
"I didnāt expect you be so skilled with selfies. Are you sure that youāve never used any one-nights stand apps?" Yang Ling teased him.
"Thanks for the compliment. Now, how do I change the username?" Lin Huang ignored Yang Ling
"You canāt change that. I created the username on purpose, why would you want to change it?" Yang Ling replied.
"Alright then, send her account to me." Lin Huang did not want to waste his time on small talk and got straight into business.
Yang Ling sent a voice message this time, "Her new account username is Waist Length Hair. Donāt talk to her first, just look at her profile. Although thereās nothing much to see, sheāll see that youāve visited her profile. If sheās not talking to anyone else, sheād probably look at your profile. Since you have photos and clear biography, if sheās interested, sheāll definitely talk to you. If she doesnāt talk to you, but she looks at your profile several times then sheās letting you know that sheās interested in you and by then, you should be halfway there."
Lin Huang didnāt know that there were so many rules on a one-night stand app.
"Alright then, Iāll do as you say." Soon, Lin Huang found Waist Length Hairās account. He looked at her profile carefully. It was simple - only listing her weight and height; she didnāt even fill in her age. There was only one picture on her profile and it was a picture of her upper back. Her hair touched her waist and her back was naked all the way to her bum cheeks. Anyone could see that she wasnāt wearing anything in the picture.
The picture of her back wasnāt enough, Lin Huang couldnāt tell if it was Zheng Yihan herself. The hair color didnāt look like hers. However, the body and skin color were similar. Realizing that there was nothing useful, Lin Huang left her profile. A moment later, Lin Huang realized that she was looking at his profile and within a minute, she sent him a message.
"Hi, handsome."
Just when Lin Huang was ready to reply āHiā, Yang Ling sent him a message.
"Hey, beautiful." There was a smiley face at the back of the message. Lin Huang smiled as he thought he was too innocent. He copied Yang Lingās reply and sent it back.
Waist Length Hair replied in an instant. "How do you know that Iām beautiful? What if I only have a beautiful back?"
As Lin Huang was thinking how to reply the message, Yang Ling sent him the reply. "My instinct told me." Lin Huang forwarded the message.
"Instinct? Tell me, what other things are your instincts telling you." She replied immediately.
"Hehe, sheās hooked." Yang Ling sent a disturbing voice message. Soon, Yang Ling sent his reply.
"My instinct told me that not only youāre a beauty but you have a nice body too."
Lin Huang forwarded the message again.
"What if I told you that this is not my photo, would you still think the same?" She replied again.
"Of course. Itās my instinct, it has nothing to do with the photo that you have." Yang Ling replied.
"If your instinct is on point, can you sense what kind of person that I am?" She replied.
"My instinct is telling me that youāre a dangerous woman." Seeing that reply, Lin Huang thought it was not right and sent Yang Ling a voice message.
"I donāt think thatās appropriate, she might have her guard up."
"Donāt worry just forward that. I know what to do." Yang Ling replied.
Helpless, Lin Huang forwarded the message anyway. This time Waist Length Hair was silent. She hadnāt replied 10 seconds later either.
"This is bad..." Lin Huang frowned.
Just as Lin Huang had mumbled to himself, he received another message.
"Please tell me, how am I dangerous?" It was still Waist Length Hair.
"Hehe, what did I tell you..." Yang Ling sent another voice message.
"My mother once told me that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. My instinct doesnāt tell me what kind of danger you are; all itās telling me is that youāre more dangerous than 99% of the women in this city." There was a smirk emoji at the end of the sentence.
Lin Huang secretly complimented Yang Ling in his mind, he had to admit that Yang Ling was really good at flirting.
"Such a sweet talker, Iāll take that compliment then." She replied immediately.
As they chatted, the conversation became more and more explicit. Although Lin Huang did not want to forward the messages but for the sake of hunting down Brain Eater, he did it anyway.
After chatting for 10 minutes, Lin Huang could not take it anymore.
"Stop messing around, ask her out now." Lin Huang sent Yang Ling a voice message.
"Whatās the rush, canāt you see that Iām waiting for the perfect timing?" Yang Ling seemed to be indulging in the conversation
However, two to three minutes later Waist Length Hair sent a message abruptly.
"Letās talk next time. Itās late and Iām going to sleep."
She went offline right after she sent the message.
"What happened?" Lin Huang was stunned. He did not expect her to go offline suddenly before he could even ask her out.
Soon, Yang Ling called.
"I thought it was going well, whyād she go offline?" Lin Huang was puzzled.
"She set me up! F*ck!" Yang Ling cursed.
"Somebody else got her?" Lin Huang finally understood what was happening.
"Do you think she really went to bed?" Yang Ling rolled his eyes.
"I knew sheās talking to other guys as she was talking to me. I was too indulged in the conversation; I didnāt see what they were talking about."
Yang Ling uploaded the chat history of the man who managed to ask Waist Length Hair out.
"Although we didnāt get to ask her out, at least we could locate the man who had managed to and find out where they are meeting." Yang Ling was pissed but he did not forget about what was important.
"Wait, do you have a picture of this man? Why does he look so familiar...?
