FATE: Target of Grand Master

After some time to calm the two down, everyone agreed on the division of labor.

Miss Tsuru continued, "The idol rankings in this world are based on popularity, which consists of two parts: daily popularity and performance popularity. To participate in a performance, one must reach a certain level of daily popularity. There is a performance every week, which is the real battleground between idols. The popularity of the performance will determine whether an idol can challenge a higher-level performance stage, until finally becoming the most popular idol."

"So how exactly do we do it?" Xia Yan asked.

"There are a lot of things to do. First of all, this is Euryale's first time being an idol, so she needs to practice the basics of idol training. Singing, dancing, rapping, as well as her posture and expressions all need to be practiced. Well, she doesn't need to be proficient in everything, as long as she can create her own unique style."

Xia Yan offered his opinion: "Eurei's greatest strength is her singing voice, and I think we should still focus on her singing as our selling point."

"Yes, yes. That's a great starting point. So, we have two things to do right now. 1. Train Euryale to adapt to her idol identity. 2. Raise money. Whether it's daily expenses or signing up for stage performances, it all costs money."

"Excuse me for interrupting. Do we really have to go through all this trouble? Why not just storm into the other idols' agencies, tie them all up, and prevent them from performing on stage?"

Miss Tsuru said to Cú Chulainn with some dissatisfaction, "What's the difference between what you're doing and the mafia? We're a legally operating idol agency. Don't resort to those low-class methods. Besides, those methods don't work in this world. You should have already felt it. Even if you can use force to defeat your opponents, they will keep appearing, just like those talent scouts. If you don't master the right methods, you'll always be suppressed by the laws of this world. Even if you can keep fighting, the magic of O-P isn't infinite."

"I understand everything else, but what is '御P'?" Musashi asked.

"Ah, it's Xia Yan. Xia Yan is now both a Master and a Producer, so he's called Master-P for short."

Xia Yan was already mentally prepared for the abbreviation that Miss Tsuru had invented herself, since Fujimaru Ritsuka was also called that.

"Okay, that's the basic situation. By the way, it seems our firm doesn't have a name yet."

Miss He suddenly thought of a very important point.

"Let's call it Euryale Agency, it's simple and clear."

Xia Yan didn't want to waste any more time on the naming process, so he made the decision decisively.

"No problem, many idol agencies are named after their main idols. Besides, my little apartment definitely can't accommodate all of us, you'll still need to find a place to stay."

"But we don't have any money," Xia Yan said, spreading his hands.

"This is indeed a difficult situation."

Miss He understands Xia Yan's financial situation, but the problem is that she is still in a deficit because she is working hard to create the beautiful spirit clothes, so she also cannot afford to help Xia Yan.

Xia Yan finally understood what it meant to be "struggling even with a penny to save a hero".

"Could I see the currency in this world?"

Just when Xia Yan was at his wit's end, Morgan stepped forward.

Miss He took out a magnetic card that displayed a two-digit QP value.

"This is called a QP card. The QP displayed on it is the currency of this world. QP is a type of electronic currency, and I suggest you get one too."

Morgan played with the magnetic card for a while, then said, "I see."

Ms. Tsuru didn't pay much attention to the magnetic card Morgan handed her back until she noticed that the QP number displayed on it was a bit too much.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million!

Miss He suddenly found a whopping 1 million QP in her magnetic card, which startled her so much that she screamed.

"I'm rich! I have money to make new spirit costumes! Wait, how did you do that?"

Miss Crane hurriedly asked Morgan for his method, wishing she could learn how to cheat... Hehehe...

Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Miss He tried her best to put on a serious expression, but the corner of her mouth, which was even harder to suppress than AK's, still betrayed her true feelings.

"Want to learn?"

Morgan gave a playful smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Miss He nodded vigorously.

"I'm not telling you. This 100 million QP isn't just for you. All our expenses in this world are included here. After we make Euryale the number one idol, I'll get you another 100 million."

"Okay, President. I'll book the best hotel around here for you right away."

Miss He immediately transformed into her assistant.

"There are many of us, and hotels are too much trouble. The rooms are all separate. Please book a villa for us instead."

"Yes, President."

Indeed, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can make a crane repay a debt of gratitude.

Xia Yan and his group checked into a detached villa in a high-end residential area without any problems. All the necessary living supplies were provided, and there were enough rooms for Xia Yan and his group to stay in.

Miss He moved in naturally and began to give Euryale special training, while Xia Yan took a copy of the idol information that Miss He handed over and started to look through it.

The above is Tamamo-no-Mae, the most suitable candidate for a novice idol challenge, which Ms. Tsuru carefully selected after comparison.

[Name: Tamamo Cat]

Personality: Lively

[Selling point: Animal-eared girl]

[Popularity Ranking: 11]

Although Tamamo Neko ranks last in popularity, it still has a group of loyal fans.

"According to the information, there is a Tamamo Neko livehouse performance and handshake event at a nearby small theater tonight. You can check it out."

When they arrived at the scene, Xia Yan and Morgan found themselves surrounded by enthusiastic fans wearing fox ear headbands, hugging paw-shaped pillows, and dressed in Tamamo Cat themed outfits. The two of them had no Tamamo Cat elements on them at all, making them look out of place.

"Oh my, are you two new fans of Tamamo Cat?"

A middle-aged bartender standing behind the bar started a conversation with Xia Yan.

Xia Yan nodded.

"Don't be nervous. Our Tamamo Cat may not be the most popular yet, but she's incredibly approachable. She'll smile at even fans who don't buy anything. But as fans, we can't take this gift for granted. So, would you like to buy this glowing fox ear headband or the paw cushion? The fox ear headband is 500 QP, and the paw cushion is 800 QP. Buying both will only cost 1200 QP and you'll also get to participate in the handshake event after the performance!"

Xia Yan's lips twitched. Sure enough, this was the usual trick of the fan economy.

To get to the bottom of things, Xia Yan and Morgan naturally bought two complete sets of merchandise.

After putting on the fox ear headband, Xia Yan finally felt like he was part of his surroundings.

"Xia Yan, will it look strange if I wear this?"

Morgan seemed a little uncomfortable with animal ears.

Xia Yan looked back and found that Morgan, with the two extra fox ears, had lost some of his sharpness and unexpectedly gained a lot of cuteness. He immediately felt that the QP he spent was worth it.

"Not strange at all, it's very cute."
