What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Why is this happening?

Where's my money?

Where is my money?!

Chen Xiao paced back and forth in the living room, holding his phone, completely baffled.

Unlike his wealthy classmates who were extravagant spenders, he kept his daily meals within reasonable limits, except for the fixed expense of purchasing materials for making figurines.

Even though Shiina Mahiru and Asuna recently asked me to buy enough ingredients so that they could show off their culinary skills.

But that won't cost much!

And my family sends me money every month...

"Wait! At home!"

At that moment, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something.

When I told my family I didn't want to go to school, my father's earnest words came to mind.

"Since you've chosen to give up, there's nothing I can say... But from now on, you'll have to rely on yourself for your life in Shanghai! Become a responsible adult, Xiao."

Holy crap! I totally forgot!

After I called home to tell my family that I wasn't going to school, my dad stopped paying my tuition!

In other words, I've been living off the remaining savings in this one card for the past few months!

Upon realizing this, Chen Xiao immediately bent forward in disappointment.

"Master, are you alright?"

Seeing Chen Xiao's strong reaction, Ram couldn't help but feel nervous.

"No, it's nothing! I was just thinking about how I'm now 'financially independent'."

Chen Xiao let out a long sigh.

He then went to the bedroom with Ram's close assistance and slowly searched through the wardrobe.

"Fortunately, I usually keep some extra money in another card in order to meet the challenges ahead."

Chen Xiao initially thought this world was an urban novel, and as a transmigrator without any cheat codes, he needed start-up capital at the beginning of the story.

He saved up for this over a long period of time.

Although things didn't go as planned, the funds still came in handy!

"Found it!"

Since there was no other action besides depositing the money into the card, Chen Xiao almost forgot where he had put the card. It took him nearly half an hour to find it in the pocket of an old coat.

"Luckily, this piece of clothing has sentimental value; it would have been terrible if I had accidentally thrown it away."

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But when he entered the card number into his phone to bind it, he found that he couldn't remember the card number and password.

This physical enhancement from awakening superpowers didn't actually enhance my memory?

No, it's more accurate to say that I never really kept it in mind.

"Hiss... what's the six-digit PIN for this card again?"

Chen Xiao vaguely remembered that it was a string of numbers that was very representative in his previous life.

It seems to be related to the stench...

"Master, the password is 114514."

Seeing that Chen Xiao couldn't remember, Ramu, who was standing nearby, took the initiative to remind him.

"Oh! This is it! It's the password for Beast-senpai! Thank you, Ram..."

Chen Xiao immediately felt as if he had been enlightened by a deity, and happily entered the password, instinctively thanking Ram.

But before he could finish speaking, he realized something was wrong.

"How did you know the password?"

Chen Xiao's gaze towards Lamu sharpened.

Doubtful ditty.mp4

"You don't need to worry about such a small matter, Master."

To this, Ram simply took a step back and answered calmly, not even bothering to hide the smile playing on his lips.

Chen Xiao: ...

I care about this a lot!

When exactly did you start spying on me?

drop by drop...

[Account Balance: 83150]

After linking his bank card, Chen Xiao glanced at the funds he had accumulated over the years and finally felt reassured.

"Eighty thousand yuan is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. To keep going, we still need to find ways to make money."

It's impossible for him to go out and work on his own.

Putting aside how long it would take him to earn a high salary, he just couldn't get past the hurdle of his own female figurines.

"Do you need my help?"

Aoyama Nanami, who suddenly materialized, stood in front of Chen Xiao with an eager expression on her face.

"I'd do anything for Ah Xiao!"

"Nanami, although I used to tease you about being a workaholic, that doesn't mean I like the way you work so hard, you know?"

In his past life, when he watched anime, he felt sorry for Aoyama Nanami, who worked so hard but ended up losing.

Since I have a chance to start over in this life, I can do the same. I don't need to work hard to earn tuition fees.

"Oh, oh... I understand."

Sensing the pity in Chen Xiao's words, Aoyama Nanami's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she didn't know how to continue speaking.

"Of course, if I need your help, I'd appreciate it if you could lend me a hand!"

"Okay! Feel free to give me any instructions then, Xiao."

After saying that, Aoyama Nanami turned back into a figure.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao wiped away some sweat.

Is Aoyama Nanami's idea really that simple?

Considering the exaggerated aggressiveness of the girls he's interacted with since becoming materialized, he has no doubt that Nanami has her own ulterior motives.

Besides becoming a wage earner to make ends meet.

There's probably also the element of getting to know her better, so that if you "accidentally" run into a friend or former classmate, you can casually mention her and your past relationship...

Oops! My QQ account is definitely going to explode!

"Master, regarding the funding issue, I heard from others that it can be solved by hacking. With just a few keystrokes, we'll never be short of money again."

At that moment, Ram's words sounded like the whispers of a demon in Chen Xiao's ear.

Yes, there are quite a few "hacker" girls among the figurines I made, and even an all-powerful electronic warfare angel like Nymph, who can dominate the global network the moment she connects to the internet.

Just like Colossus in Justice League who was transformed by the Mother Box.

"Hiss... Hah! Indeed, your offer is very tempting, Ram."

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and in the end, reason prevailed, and he did not succumb to temptation.

"But I would rather earn money through my own efforts. Using hacking to make money... that method should only be used as a last resort."

Speaking plainly means having a bottom line.

Just like women's clothing, once it's done, it will be done again and again, eventually becoming an infinite number of times.

If I cross my own bottom line...

It's hard to say whether he'll turn into a villain who says "I don't eat beef" in the future.

"I understand, Master."

Ram nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Xiao then picked up his phone again and found an official announcement popping up in the notifications.

It is said that someone has committed fraud in the name of [Black Rock Shooter], amounting to as much as 100,000 yuan. People of China, please do not believe the lies of these fraudsters.

"what?"

Chen Xiao was completely baffled after reading it.

Just because it's called Black Rock Shooter, does that mean idiots will willingly come to buy popcorn?

And it's 100,000!

He then opened his browser and searched for trending topics.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it!

"Wow... Black Rock's popularity has exploded to this level in just one night? Videos from last night are practically everywhere... there's even a dedicated fan site!"

No wonder some people would believe in scams like "Black Rock Shooter needs funding to hunt monsters," which is comparable to the "I am Qin Shi Huang, send me money" scam.

However, he will not do either fraud or have the real Black Rock come forward to collect money.

After all, the fact that Black Rock Shooter was exposed to the world was purely an accident.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he will not allow Black Rock to appear in front of outsiders in the future.
