In Liyong City, there is a couples-themed hotel called "Elf Paradise".

Mo Zhen stood at the door, looking at the building with its pink exterior decorated with various elf patterns, and couldn't help but marvel.

"The owner of this place is quite savvy; he has managed to combine Pokémon culture with the service industry so harmoniously. It's quite a unique sight in this world."

【Lord Mo Zhen, are you sure you want to do this? I beg you, it's not too late to stop now! Let some truths rot in the darkness, let's dream big together, there's nothing wrong with that!】

Xiao Mengzi's voice echoed in Mo Zhen's mind, her tone filled with gloom for the future.

Mo Zhen gently straightened his collar, a confident smile on his lips that gave Xiao Mengzi a headache.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to investigate the truth. I won't do anything rash. Besides, the other people have already booked their rooms, it would be impolite to stand them up!"

Watching Mo Zhen walk into the hotel triumphantly, Xiao Mengzi was immediately devastated, her face turning ashen.

Although it looks like a naive and proper elf, after following Mo Zhen for so long and being influenced by his artistic talents, what is there that it doesn't understand?

Choosing a place so suggestive—how could it not know what kind of woman she is?
It's completely over!

send!!!
Upon entering the hotel, the receptionist was a young girl wearing a Psyduck hair clip. She gave Mo Zhen a professional smile.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Mo Zhen leaned against the front desk, her posture casual and confident, like a seasoned veteran of the dating scene.

"Of course, Miss Ruri is already waiting for me in room 708."

The receptionist checked the system and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Mo, right? Miss Liuli has already checked in. Here is your room key. Have a pleasant night."

The last sentence carried a subtle implication, making Xiaomengzi's expression even more unpleasant.

Holding the room key, Mo Zhen took the elevator to the seventh floor.

The moment the elevator doors opened, he took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and became serious and professional.

Mo Zhen arrived at the door of room 708 and gently knocked.

"Please come in~"

A sweet voice came from inside, tinged with shyness and anticipation.

Licking her lips, like a diner about to savor a sumptuous feast, Mo Zhen eagerly pushed open the door and entered.

In contrast, Xiaomengzi covered her eyes in pain.

I don't want to see anything.jpg
However, the moment she opened the door and saw the girl in front of her, Mo Zhen was slightly taken aback.

The glass he saw was completely different from the top-notch roast chicken in the live stream.

The girl in front of me was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue jeans, with a small pink crossbody bag slung over her shoulder. Her overall outfit was simple and fresh, which contrasted sharply with her internet celebrity image.

Her smooth, short pink hair fell perfectly to her ears, and she wore almost no makeup, making her look incredibly pure.

What surprised Mo Zhen even more was that a small and cute wiggled spot was perched on Liuli's shoulder.

What the heck? This woman is actually a trainer?

Seeing this shimmering spotted creature, Mo Zhen suddenly remembered Gong Ping's "dream" that he often talked about: I really want to become Miss Liu Li's shimmering spotted creature...

Wow! So that's what happened. Turns out this girl really does have a spotted dog!

However, Mo Zhen is a knowledgeable and experienced man.

The other party is probably keeping such an adorable Pokémon to cultivate a persona of loving and caring for Pokémon.

Internet celebrities, those who know, know; they're all just putting on a show.

If the other person is really a Pokémon trainer, he'll just perform a demonstration of scalding his penis with boiling water.

As Mo Zhen was thinking this, looking at Huang Huangban's swirling eyes, he felt something invisibly brush past his consciousness.

This feeling is fleeting, like a gentle breeze rippling across a lake, leaving only tiny ripples before disappearing without a trace.

"Oh!"

The swaying spot let out a soft cry, its voice as gentle as a friendly greeting.

Its tail swayed gently, and its eyes were bright and innocent, just like the cute elf Mo Zhen had imagined, used to charm others.

"Eh?"

Mo Zhen rubbed his eyes, as if wiping away dust from a window. He suddenly felt that Liu Li looked even more innocent than before.

The feeling was subtle, as if some of his original doubts about her had been gently erased, replaced by a strange sense of trust.

Xiaomengzi trembled slightly, as if she had sensed something.

【Lord Mo Zhen, this…】

Just as it was about to explain to Mo Zhen, it immediately covered its mouth.

Looking at the pure and innocent girl in front of her, and the dappled marks on her shoulders, Xiaomengzi's ashen face regained a glimmer of hope.

It silently gloated to itself: This woman's got skills... Could this... could we turn this game around?!

"Director Mo!"

Upon seeing Mo Zhen, Liu Li immediately jumped out of bed, her face beaming with genuine joy.

"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity! By the way, this is my partner, Little Spot. I hope it won't bother us."

Mo Zhen was slightly surprised, as none of the glamorous scenes he had envisioned materialized, making him question his preconceived notions. But this self-doubt lasted only a moment; his strong self-awareness quickly brought him back to his senses, and he immediately entered the performance mode of an artist, adopting the demeanor of a leading figure of the eighth generation of directors.

"Hello, Miss Liuli. I've read your message and I'm very impressed with your enthusiasm. As for whether you can join my production team, that depends on your performance from now on..."

Without any preamble, Director Mo began his first probing by getting straight to the point with a direct hint.

Upon hearing this, Liuli nervously reached into her bag and rummaged through it, as if afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This action made Mo Zhen's body tremble, like a fisherman about to pull in his rod, his heart filled with elation.

Good grief, are they trying to trap me?

Before the foreplay even started, they jumped straight into paid content. Hmph, and you still dare to say you're not a roast chicken!
Upon seeing this, Xiaomengzi burst into tears.

Maru La, there's no chance of a comeback. She pulled out her weapon and went straight to the point the moment they met. Is this woman really a professional in this line of work?
Under their gazes, she took a USB drive out of her bag and handed it to Mo Zhen with both hands, her posture as respectful as a student.

"Director Mo, I brought my portfolio of acting works, as well as some short films I made myself. Although the conditions are limited, I really take every role very seriously."

"Eh?"

Mo Zhen took the USB drive, her expression stiffening slightly.

Xiaomengzi breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had just been rescued from the ICU, as if she had been granted a pardon.

That scared me! This woman... still... still has a chance, she can still turn this game around!

Mo Zhen casually stuffed the USB drive into his pocket, sat down in a chair in the room, and activated the Detective's Gaze.

"Miss Liuli, I'm curious, why did you choose to meet me in a place like this?"

Faced with Mo Zhen's questioning, Liuli's face turned red to her ears, her fingers twisted nervously together, and she stammered.

"I'm sorry! I... I just thought the hotels in Bollywood were too expensive, and there are special offers here..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a mosquito's hum.

"I really just wanted to save some money, that's all..."

ho-

Reversal!
In an instant, Xiaomengzi burst into tears of joy and cheered loudly.

[Wuhu—Lord Mo Zhen, it seems you're overthinking it! Focus on your audition, Director Mo, there really are good female anchors in this world! Arceus has appeared!]

Mo Zhen's expression changed, and self-doubt began to rise uncontrollably again.

Damn it, is my watch-testing radar malfunctioning? Is this woman really that innocent?

Ignoring the smug voice of the bastard above her, Mo Zhen cleared her throat and decided to get straight to the point.

"Ahem, I heard you're a streamer, and you have quite a few fans, especially male fans..."

When this was mentioned, Liuli's expression clearly became somewhat awkward.

She admitted it softly, her voice tinged with helplessness.

"Yes, but that was just to earn money to support myself. My dream has always been acting, but I've never had the opportunity..."

What is the content of your live stream?

Director Mo's words were exceptionally sharp, hitting the nail on the head regarding Liuli's weaknesses.

Liuli lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible.

"It's just... wearing some clothes, chatting with fans... and sometimes dancing..."

Mo Zhen raised an eyebrow, deliberately slowing down his speech, each word like a small knife seeking the truth.

"that is it?"

"Of course!"

Liuli suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination.

At that moment, her eyes were as clear as a cloudless sky, and her voice became firm and powerful.

"I never do anything excessive! Although the income will be much less, I have my bottom line!"

Upon hearing this resounding declaration, Xiaomengzi was already in tears, so excited that she became incoherent.

[Oh my god, Arceus above! I swear, I've never seen such a firm, clear gaze. If Miss Ruri isn't a good woman, then let me be struck down by Zapdos!]

With the coordinated efforts of those inside and outside, Mo Zhen's initial attempts yielded no results.

He nodded thoughtfully and took a script out of his bag.

"Alright, I won't ask about that. Let me see how your acting is first. Let's try out this role. It's a girl with many facets, seemingly innocent but with a complex inner world. I want to see your understanding and performance of this character."

Liuli took the script, quickly glanced through it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But that surprise was quickly replaced by a barely perceptible joy and composure.

"I can try."

Mo Zhen sat in the chair, ready to watch.
