The shooting range was crowded with people.
Chu Chen had three beautiful women around him, plus his god-like looks, making it impossible not to attract attention.
Bending the bow and setting the arrow, Zhou Quanhao aimed at the distant target.
"Such a standard posture."
"Definitely an expert, must have practiced for at least five years."
Watching Zhou Quanhao, some onlookers couldn't help but comment.
Shifting their gaze to Chu Chen, many experts shook their heads; one look at his posture told them he was a beginner.
A beginner wanting to challenge an expert, was he seeking his own doom?
Woosh!
Zhou Quanhao moved, an arrow flying straight to the bullseye.
An 8!
"Truly an expert, hitting an 8 with the first arrow."
Many spectators were deeply impressed, voicing their admiration.
Zhou Quanhao's lips curled slightly as he turned to look at Chu Chen.
Woosh!
Chu Chen's arrow flew out.
The next moment, the shooting range went completely silent.
Everyone's eyes widened incredulously as they looked at the distant target.
A 10!
Right in the bullseye, with no deviation!
How could this be?
He was just a beginner!
"Amazing!"
"Brother, you're incredible!"
"Brother, you're the best."
The first to react were Su Chuqing and her friends. Seeing Chu Chen hit a 10 with one arrow, they jumped up excitedly.
Even more thrilled than Chu Chen himself.
Looking at the distant 10, Chu Chen gave a mysterious smile.
Manager Li hadn't disappointed him; the path was getting wider.
Chu Chen was so confident because he believed that upon knowing he was playing at the manor, to please his new boss, Manager Li would definitely keep a close eye on him.
When he heard that Chu Chen agreed to the competition with Zhou Quanhao, Manager Li would surely take action.
Sure enough, when choosing the bow and arrow, Chu Chen was sure of his idea.
Zhou Quanhao had chosen his bow and arrow himself, but Chu Chen's bow and arrow were handed to him by the staff.
The reason Chu Chen was able to easily score a 10 was because the bow and arrow were the key.
"Impossible."
"This can't be!"
Zhou Quanhao's face went white, shaking his head continuously, unwilling to believe it.
"How could this be?"
Zhou Quanhao's two friends were also dumbfounded.
"It must've been luck."
"Best of three!"
Zhou Quanhao was unwilling to admit defeat, picking up the bow and arrow again.
Woosh, woosh!
Two arrows flew out.
An 8, a 9!
Woosh, woosh!
Chu Chen bent the bow and set the arrow.
A 10, a 10!
Another two 10s.
At this sight, countless people were stunned.
Zhou Quanhao was dumbfounded.
"A genius, an absolute genius!"
If there was only one 10, it might have been luck, but all 10s could only mean Chu Chen was a genius among geniuses.
"Five out of nine."
A 9, a 9, an 8, a 9, a 7.
While Chu Chen's side was a clean sweep of 10s.
Looking at Chu Chen's target, Zhou Quanhao was scared stiff.
The God of Archery, absolutely the God of Archery!
"Amazing!"
"Brother, you're incredible."
Several girls cheered excitedly.
Chu Chen became the center of attention.
Putting the bow and arrow down, Chu Chen slowly walked towards the exit.
Chu Chen felt his life was just too hard, being handsome and having such fantastic luck; how were others supposed to live?
Several girls quickly followed him, chatting eagerly with Chu Chen.
"Is it really being handsome and lucky?"
"Is it because I'm too ugly that I lost?"
Zhou Quanhao fell into deep doubt.
...
After dinner, the group went for a walk in the manor.
Not far away, they heard singing and saw the flashing lights.
To attract tourists, the manor would occasionally invite singers to perform.
Curious, the group walked over.
Watching the nearly finished performance on stage, Zhou Quanhao's eyes lit up.
He'd lost in the archery competition, could he lose in other things too?
With the lights shining brightly and all eyes on him, now was the best chance to showcase himself.
"Just wait, Su Chuqing will definitely be mine."
Zhou Quanhao confidently declared to Chu Chen as he walked over.
After the singer finished, Zhou Quanhao leapt onto the stage, said a few words to the person in charge, and took the microphone.
"Today is a special day, and I want to sing a song for a beautiful lady from this stage."
Zhou Quanhao said with a smile.
Over the years, he'd practiced singing a lot to impress ladies, reaching a level where he could surpass many.
On stage, Zhou Quanhao looked challengingly at Chu Chen.
Seeing Zhou Quanhao, Chu Chen couldn't help but muse,
"Though you're not good-looking, you sure have high hopes."
"Now, I'll perform 'Love Confession Balloon.'"
As the music started, Zhou Quanhao immersed himself, like a lovesick man.
"Along the Seine
Coffee on the left bank
I hold a cup
Tasting your beauty
Leaving lipstick smudges
Florist's roses
Whose name is spelled wrong
The confession balloon blown to the opposite street
Smiling in the sky flying
...
"
Listening to Zhou Quanhao's singing, everyone was momentarily entranced.
Zhou Quanhao moved many, but not Su Chuqing.
Su Chuqing was chatting with Chu Chen, not paying attention to Zhou Quanhao's song at all.
After Zhou Quanhao finished singing, the audience erupted in applause.
However, just as Zhou Quanhao confidently thought he had moved Su Chuqing, his face turned green.
At this moment, Su Chuqing was massaging Chu Chen's shoulders!
And she was the one who offered, saying Chu Chen was tired from archery in the afternoon and needed to rest.
The usually aloof Su Chuqing, in front of Chu Chen, had a shy, girlish demeanor.
"Brother, why don't you go up and sing a song?"
"Yeah, brother, you're so handsome, your singing must be great."
Finally, pressed by the girls, Chu Chen stepped onto the stage.
"Wow!"
"What a handsome guy, a god-like face!"
"So handsome!"
As Chu Chen got on stage, countless girls screamed like crazy.
Just his mere presence had the atmosphere far surpassing when Zhou Quanhao finished.
Below the stage, Zhou Quanhao's face turned all shades of blue and green.
Standing on stage, Chu Chen thought for a moment, and it suddenly came to him.
"I'll perform 'If One Day I Become Rich.'"
This was once Chu Chen's favorite song, and now it finally came true.
"Go, brother!"
"You're the best!"
Countless girls shouted.
"If one day I become rich
My first choice isn't to travel the world
Lie on the world's largest, softest sofa
Eat and then sleep, wake up and eat, spend a year
...
I become rich, I become rich
Then pretend modestly that money isn't everything
I become rich
All worries left far behind
Become rich, I become rich
Then sincerely say money isn't everything."
As Chu Chen's song ended, the scene erupted in excitement!
Countless girls stood up, screaming like crazy, many even rushed over, wanting to wait for Chu Chen to come down from the stage.
"Singing god, brother you are absolutely the singing god tonight!"
"Brother, I love you so much!"
"Brother, be my boyfriend, let me take care of you?"
Countless girls screamed.
The frenzy at the scene far exceeded that for Zhou Quanhao, comparable to a top-tier pop star!
"Chu Chen, I love you."
"Brother, I like you!"
Su Chuqing and her friends also shouted, their eyes sparkling.
Who wouldn't like a guy who's handsome and sings well?
"This damned charm of mine."
Chu Chen muttered helplessly.
After Chu Chen stepped down, countless pretty girls surrounded him, all wanting to add his WeChat.
With the help of Su Chuqing and Mengmeng, Chu Chen finally got out of the crowd of admirers.
"Why, his singing clearly isn't better than mine."
Zhou Quanhao was on the brink of tears.
Why was it like this?
Boohoo...
He didn't want to live anymore!
