What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Chen Xiao remembered that even in his previous life, Ding Jiafang's singing skills were no less than those of a certain elementary school student who was a death god. Letting him go on stage would probably mean paying the audience a large sum of money for emotional distress after the exhibition.

"Is the exhibition about to start now?"

Chen Xiao looked at Ding Jiafang in disbelief. "You're not some archangel from Shimokitazawa, and there aren't any randomly appearing singers on the street for you to grab and fill in for."

"No, it officially starts in about three days... but I missed today's rehearsal! Ugh... what am I going to do?!"

Ding Jiafang's expression at this moment was comparable to that of the world-famous painting "The Scream".

That was truly desperate.

Those who know the truth might sympathize with him, but those who don't might think he's throwing his weight around, which would instantly ruin his reputation.

"Well... I can only wish you good luck."

Although Chen Xiao wanted to help, he had never been exposed to anime or manga in this life, or rather, he had no knowledge of anime or manga works in this world. His mind was full of things from his previous life.

Even if he had practiced singing for a while, his performance wouldn't be much better than Ding Jiafang's emotionally charged "screams".

"No! Xiao, quickly use your unparalleled connections to think of a solution!"

Ding Jiafang grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and shook it as if it were a lifeline.

"But I don't know any singers..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, the image of a pink-haired girl suddenly appeared in his mind. Theoretically, he did know a very famous singer.

If that person comes to sing, it might turn the entire anime convention into a one-woman show for her...

"I knew you knew them! Even just knowing the gist of it is fine, or any other song is no problem. Your friend will definitely get a good share of the payment afterwards!"

Seeing Chen Xiao hesitate for a moment, Ding Jiafang was overjoyed and even mentioned that she would be paid afterwards.

"Huh? You're paying for it?"

Chen Xiao was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Of course. Although I paid to get this spot, it's officially the organizer who paid for the stage, so those invited by the organizer naturally receive corresponding compensation."

"Let me think about it..."

Upon hearing Ding Jiafang's explanation, Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.

He wasn't bothered by the issue of compensation.

Instead, he thought about the exposure of the female figurines that he had been worried about all this time. Even though the existence of Black Rock Shooter was known to the whole world, he still held the same fear that the girls would be harmed as before his superpowers were awakened.

For example, yesterday when Ram went out to buy groceries, he was so scared that he refused to meet Aoyama Nanami as if he had a stress reaction. He even convinced himself by saying that Nanami might ruin his interpersonal relationships.

However, if Chen Xiaozhen didn't want people to know that he was "keeping a mistress in a golden house," he could have some of the powerful figures in his figurines, such as a certain dragon maid, put some kind of cognitive barrier magic on the girls who went out.

Deleting memories is also a piece of cake.

But as his superpowers continue to grow stronger in the future, one day the other female figurines in his house will also be exposed to the world like Black Rock Shooter. At that time, will he still lock the girls in the display case in the name of protecting them?

Although the goal is to make money, releasing Yamada Elf and Shiina Mashiro to write novels/draw pictures is also a way of actively showing the world their existence, just not in such a direct way.

"Perhaps my will isn't as strong as I thought; I've changed my mind again so soon."

Chen Xiao sighed deeply.

In other novels, this would definitely drag on for ten or twenty chapters, and the protagonist would even have to have a big argument with the heroines, causing conflict, and then go through some minor plot developments before they can reconcile and allow the heroines to appear in front of the world.

However, the female figurines in Chen Xiao's family, whether it was "closing the country to the outside world" or "lifting the sea ban", wholeheartedly obeyed his ideas, and there was no problem of arguing at all, which caused Chen Xiao to get stuck on his own ideas.

You have to make peace with yourself.

"Once it happens, it happens again; once it happens, it happens again."

Finally, Chen Xiao convinced himself.

Why not open up a small loophole?

But to be honest, didn't he also have the idea of ​​letting the things he loved in his previous life shine in this world?

Everyone has a tendency to show off.

"I'll ask Jiafang when I get home."

"Yay!"

Ding Jiafang immediately jumped up excitedly.

drop by drop...

Just then, Chen Xiao's phone rang; it was a call from a friend who worked at the computer store.

"Xiao, I've prepared everything you wanted. Come and get it... Wait, let me ask you something. You didn't just come on your electric scooter, did you?"

The friend on the other end of the phone seemed to remember something halfway through their sentence and asked in a suspicious tone.

Yes.

Chen Xiao replied.

"With all this stuff on your little electric scooter, let alone whether it even fits, those two tiny tires will probably burst after only a short distance!"

"Then I'll call a Didi..."

"Why don't you just have us deliver it directly to your house, and we can even install the equipment for you while we're at it!"

A friend who works at a computer store couldn't help but complain.

However, he didn't blame Chen Xiao for being so muddle-headed.

In his view, the issue of "not going to school" put too much psychological pressure on Chen Xiao.

"Xiao, what did you buy?"

Ding Jiafang, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.

"I bought some computer equipment for home use... but my little electric scooter probably can't fit it all."

Chen Xiao held his phone a little further away and answered Ding Jiafang.

"Ha! No problem, I have a car I can help you take the equipment home."

Ding Jiafang patted his chest and said.

But when Chen Xiao and Ding Jiafang arrived at the computer store and saw the mountain of equipment, his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Wow, you bought so much equipment... are you planning to open a private internet cafe at home?"

"I forgot to calculate the volume of the packaging."

Chen Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead, admitting that he hadn't been feeling well lately.

"It's not a matter of forgetting or not! Even just bringing what's inside is a lot!"

Ding Jiafang sighed.

Fortunately, his car has enough space; including the trunk and the back seats, it can just fit all these things.

"Then I'll ride your little electric scooter over there, Ah Xiao. Considering our past friendship, I'll install the equipment for you for free this time."

A friend from the computer store stepped forward and offered the suggestion.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Chen Xiao smiled and put his arm around their shoulders.

Before he learned that this world was an urban supernatural realm, in addition to training himself according to the template of an urban protagonist, he also interacted with all kinds of people like an urban protagonist, and built up a lot of connections.

The benefits are now clear to everyone, but the downside is that once he made his "no school" declaration, it was like some old woman declaring war on all nations, and everyone came to advise him not to do anything foolish.

As Ding Jiafang drove, he thought about how Chen Xiao was still riding that little electric scooter, and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Xiao, I remember you got your driver's license a long time ago, why haven't you bought a car yet? Riding a little electric scooter isn't always convenient."

Just like it is now.

"Still considering it."

Chen Xiao can't exactly say that he never thought about it before, but now he just doesn't have enough money.
