Chapter 4 Are seals also leopards?
As Li Xueren walked out of the guild building, she was still dizzy. She hadn't expected that Shen Gongbao really had connections and was able to get into the Kung Fu King film crew.
Shen Gongbao said with a smile, "Would you like to visit the set of 'The King of Kung Fu'?"
Li Xue's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, "I want to go, I want to go! How much? You name your price!"
In Li Xue's opinion, it's worth spending some money to be able to visit the set of The King of Kung Fu and meet a star.
Shen Gongbao shook his head. "I told you I don't want your money. Just treat me to dinner tonight."
"No problem, you pick the place, it's on me!"
Upon hearing Li Xue's words, Xiao Bin immediately said, "I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
It has to be said that Xiao Bin is a true brother; seeing that Shen Gongbao had successfully gone on a date, he immediately made his escape.
Li Xue blushed slightly but did not try to stop Xiao Bin.
Today was a very exciting day for her.
First, while experiencing taking period costume photos, she met a handsome guy with a witty conversation. Then, she was almost scammed by a conman, but this handsome guy suddenly appeared and saved her. He even took her to the actors' guild in Hengdian to discuss joining the cast of "Kung Fu King".
This unexpected twist in the plot is simply the most romantic encounter during a trip.
The key point is that Shen Gongbao is a top student at Zhejiang University, and he is also tall and handsome. Li Xue also wants to spend time alone with Shen Gongbao.
She was hoping something would happen, but she had no experience and didn't know how to proceed.
But then Shen Gongbao said, "It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, we still have plenty of time. Let's go to the Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City first."
Li Xue asked instinctively, "How do you know I haven't been to the Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City?"
"Today is the first day of the May Day holiday. You are probably like me, arriving here around noon and only visiting the Qingming Scroll."
Don't worry, I've checked the guides beforehand. Playing with me will guarantee you a great time.
Li Xue nodded, letting Shen Gongbao make the arrangements.
Shen Gongbao wasn't in a hurry; he first went to a convenience store and bought two popsicles.
Eating this in the summer not only cools you down but also boosts your mood.
Desserts can effectively stimulate the secretion of dopamine, allowing girls to quickly get into the mood.
Li Xue stuck out her pink little tongue, licked the popsicle, and instantly a smile appeared on her face. She also became more talkative.
He began to inquire about Shen Gongbao's situation in a rambling manner.
The two chatted as they walked, but in the opposite direction from the Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City.
It wasn't until they reached town that Li Xue belatedly asked, "Did we take the wrong road?"
"No, let's rent a car first. The Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City is too big, walking is too tiring."
"Why come to town to rent a car? The film studio has bicycles. If you think they're too expensive, I can pay for them."
Seeing that Li Xue had misunderstood, Shen Gongbao did not offer an explanation.
Bicycles in Hengdian World Studios are usually ridden side by side, with people sitting far apart. There's no romantic atmosphere, and pedaling is tiring, not much easier than walking.
He walked straight into a car rental shop, where there were several electric scooters.
In 2007, this was a relatively new and fashionable item; even the Emma electric scooter had only recently been launched.
Shen Gongbao rented a car for only thirty yuan.
He sat in the front, waved to Li Xue, and said with a smile, "Get on, I'll take you on a fun tram ride!"
Li Xue sat in the back row and then she realized Shen Gongbao's clever idea.
The electric scooter was quite narrow, so when Li Xue sat down, she was very close to Shen Gongbao, and could even smell the faint scent of sweat on him.
Shen Gongbao felt the same way, sensing the girl's subtle charm.
Li Xue lifted her skirt, and her calves and knees would occasionally brush against Shen Gongbao's legs, which felt icy cold.
Shen Gongbao casually remarked, "I didn't expect your legs to be so cold on such a hot day."
"I've always been like this since I was little, my hands and feet are always cold. My mother always says I'm a cold-blooded animal."
"No wonder your name is Li Xue. Men all like girls like you. It's comfortable to hug you in the summer."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As the car approached an intersection, Shen Gongbao slammed on the brakes. Li Xue gasped and pressed herself tightly against his back, instinctively wrapping her arms around his waist.
Now it was Shen Gongbao's turn to burst into laughter. Only then did Li Xue realize he had done it on purpose, and she said coquettishly, "You're so naughty!"
Women don't love men who aren't a little bad.
During a date, it's essential for men and women to create opportunities for physical contact, which can effectively bring them closer together.
Li Xue verbally criticized Shen Gongbao, but after Shen Gongbao braked suddenly three times, she naturally wrapped her arms around his waist and never let go.
The car drove into the Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City and proceeded at a steady speed along the "Qinhuai River". Shen Gongbao took out his Jinpeng mobile phone and played the song "Simple Love".
This phone is cheap and has poor sound quality, but the volume is very loud, and you can hear it clearly even through the speaker.
"I can't explain why, but I've become very proactive. If I fall in love with someone, I'll do anything for them... I want to hold your hand like this and never let go~ Can love always be pure and without sorrow~ I want to take you for a bike ride..."
With the background music of Simple Love playing, the atmosphere becomes romantic.
Li Xue felt that Shen Gongbao was too clever; this arrangement was completely beyond her expectations.
At that moment, she felt that the wind was gentle, the lake was rippling, the crowd was enthusiastic, and the sunset was hazy.
Even the smell of sweat on Shen Gongbao's body was slightly intoxicating.
Under the rapid release of dopamine during courtship, everything is shrouded in romance.
At this moment, the entire Expo City was almost entirely filled with bicycles, with very few electric scooters. Coupled with the music playing from outside, Shen Gongbao and Li Xue became the most dazzling couple.
Everyone who sees this handsome man and beautiful woman will turn around and take a second look.
This feeling of being noticed amplified the romance, causing Li Xue's affection for Shen Gongbao to continue to rise.
However, Li Xue's good mood did not last long.
The first attraction Shen Gongbao chose was the "Haunted Tomb" inside the Ming and Qing Dynasty Expo City.
The entire haunted house is divided into four parts: "Entering the Gates of Hell", "Breaking into the Underworld", "Exploring the Ancient Tomb", and "Dreaming of Returning to Life".
In the eerie and sinister environment, with terrifying music playing in the background and various ghosts and monsters appearing one after another, it is quite frightening.
Shen Gongbao had a great time. In his previous life, he was too busy studying or working, and he had never experienced these kinds of recreational activities.
Now I just want to keep finding ways to have fun and enjoy life in a relaxed way.
Moreover, taking a girl to a haunted house is a classic way to deepen the relationship.
For example, Li Xue was so frightened that she screamed and could only hide in Shen Gongbao's arms to find a sense of security.
Shen Gongbao embraced her with a warm and soft body, making the haunted house experience feel amazing.
The two played in the haunted house for more than twenty minutes. After they came out, Li Xue let go of Shen Gongbao's hand and asked with a blushing face, "Where do we go next?"
Shen Gongbao said, "Let's go to the snack street to eat something first, and then go to Dream Valley. I bought the tickets in advance for 7:55 pm."
"Why 7:55 PM?"
"Because there's a fireworks show at Dream Valley tonight at 8 pm, we'll take the Ferris wheel at 7:55 pm so we can enjoy the fireworks from the air."
Hearing this, Li Xue felt like she was doomed.
This man is too good at it; she simply can't resist him.
Just as Shen Gongbao was about to speak, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Chen Yi.
"Mr. Shen, your idea was absolutely right! My negotiations went very smoothly, and Teacher Li accepted my proposal! We'll meet at the guild entrance tomorrow morning at 8 AM!"
Chen Yi's attempt to curry favor with Li Lianjie seemed to have yielded some results; he sounded very excited and even addressed Shen Gongbao with the respectful title of "General Manager Shen."
"OK, I'll be there on time. Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Chen."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Gongbao hung up the phone and immediately received a notification from the Taoist book.
[The player encourages Chen Yi, the agent of extras, to curry favor with Jet Li, and then joins Jet Li's faction in the Kung Fu King film crew, receiving the basic physical talent: Leopard Strength.]
[Leopard Strength (Beginner): Your strength has been significantly enhanced, especially your explosive power.]
Shen Gongbao felt warm all over, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Although the Leopard Strength talent enhances physical strength, the body is a unified whole, and increased strength means that overall physical qualities are also improved.
Shen Gongbao felt full of energy, much more relaxed, and had an unprecedented sense of health.
It's great that it can strengthen the body!
Just as he finished marveling at it, Shen Gongbao noticed that some of the icons related to physical talent on the Taoist book had been unlocked, allowing him to see the relevant information in advance.
Among these talents, some enhance the five senses, while others enhance physical constitution, but one in particular stands out.
[Leopard Spirit (Beginner): You will possess the energy of a seal.]
Shen Gongbao was a leopard spirit, and some physical talents mentioned in Taoist books are related to leopards, which Shen Gongbao could understand.
But what's with the seal? Is a seal a leopard?
Regardless, Shen Gongbao really wants this talent, so it seems he has to step up his efforts to cause trouble!
