Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming also considered using a bow and arrow instead.

But reality is not a game; to master the use of a bow and arrow, one must undergo long-term, systematic training.

Moreover, he's dealing with animals that can run and jump. If he could master them in a few years of training, he'd be a genius who could directly compete in the Olympics.

Soon, Xu Ming took the list and went out.

Passing by the Lawson convenience store near his home, Xu Ming remembered that he hadn't had breakfast, so he turned in.

Xu Ming took two rice balls and a cup of hot chocolate, and was about to pay when he discovered that the person standing in front of the cashier was not Aoyama Nanami, but a male clerk.

Xu Ming was a little confused, so he asked casually.

"Where is Miss Aoyama? I haven't seen her today."

Who knew that when the male shop assistant heard his question, a complex expression appeared on his face, a mixture of emotions including感慨 (gǎnkǎi, sigh), 羡羡 (xiànxiàn, envy), 妒妒 (dùdù, jealousy), and 自嘲 (zìcháo, self-deprecation)...

"Qingshan? She's already a billionaire, why would she need to stay here and work?"

"A billionaire? What's going on?"

Xu Ming was somewhat surprised.

After listening to the male shop assistant's account, Xu Ming was even more surprised to find that this matter was actually related to him.

Just half an hour ago.

As always, Aoyama Nanami was wearing Lawson's signature blue and white striped uniform, standing behind the cashier, smiling as she looked ahead.

Suddenly, two men dressed in suits and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking like government officials, walked into the convenience store.

"welcome!"

Aoyama Nanami bowed as usual, only to find two people holding documents and comparing them to her appearance.

'I...I don't think I did anything illegal, did I?'

Aoyama Nanami, who had never seen anything like this before, immediately became nervous.

At that moment, the two people walked directly towards Aoyama Nanami.

"You are Aoyama Nanami?"

One of them asked.

"Yes, that's me!"

Aoyama Nanami's face immediately tightened, and her whole body stiffened.

"It looks exactly like the photo."

"The name matches, and the gender matches."

"The age matches, it should be her..."

The two men sized her up and discussed her in front of Aoyama Nanami.

This made Aoyama Nanami feel very uncomfortable.

Moreover, judging from their conversation, it sounded exactly like they were arresting a wanted criminal.

"Excuse me, may I ask..."

Just as Aoyama Nanami was feeling uneasy, she finally couldn't help but ask.

One of the men adjusted his glasses, then took a folder out of his briefcase, flipped to a page, and placed it in front of Aoyama Nanami.

"Miss Aoyama Nanami, we are now formally informing you that your brother, Eizan Etsu, has also left behind a large inheritance, which awaits your inheritance."

Aoyama Nanami's face immediately showed a hint of suspicion. She was no ignorant young lady. Because she often worked in various places, her social experience was as rich as that of a working adult.

She had encountered similar scams before.

Out of the blue, they said she has an older brother and a large inheritance waiting for her to inherit.

She never believed in any free lunch.

Even if it were possible, such a good thing wouldn't be hers.

"I'm sorry, I'm an only child, I don't have any brothers..."

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"No, Eizan Etsu is your half-brother."

Your mother first married Mr. Eizan Maruho and gave birth to Eizan Etsuya. Sixteen years ago, the two divorced, and your mother married Mr. Aoyama Matsuzawa and gave birth to you.

Now that Mr. Eizan Maruho and your mother have passed away one after another, you have become the only direct heir of your brother, Eizan Etsuya.

Therefore, you will inherit his entire estate, which, after deducting all taxes, totals: ¥5,323,336,666.

"Huh? Huh~~~!!!"

Chapter Seventy-Five: Animal Expo Park

An inconspicuous private car was parked on the street outside the convenience store.

Inspector Megure sat in the driver's seat and watched as the two government officials went into the convenience store, had a conversation with Aoyama Nanami, and then drove away with Aoyama Nanami out of the store.

Only then did Inspector Megure roll up the car window and start the car.

"Commander Megure, wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of thing to the government affairs department? Why do you have to personally oversee it?"

Takagi Wataru, who was standing to the side, asked with some confusion.

Inspector Megure glanced at him.

"Kid, you're still too young. When we were taking inventory, I knew this was a considerable sum, and the heir was just a minor. Who knows if someone might have ulterior motives? It's better to keep a close eye on things."

"Sir, I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of justice."

Takagi Wataru scratched the back of his head.

"So, in your eyes all along, I have no sense of justice?"

Inspector Megure's mustache twitched, revealing a hint of displeasure.

"I'm sorry, sir! That's not what I meant!"

Takagi Wataru explained, his face covered in sweat.

Suddenly the intercom in the car rang.

"A murder has occurred at 1-45-3 Kawabashi-cho, Minato-ku. Detectives in the vicinity are requested to provide immediate assistance!"

"Alright, break time's over, time to get back to work!"

Inspector Megure waved his hand.

Takagi Wataru quickly leaned out of the car window and placed a flashing police light on the roof.

The Toyota sedan, which had instantly transformed into a police car, sped away with its sirens blaring...

Aoyama Nanami was still in a daze even after completing all the formalities with two city hall officials and officially inheriting the enormous fortune of 5 billion yen.

And just like that, she inexplicably became a rich and beautiful woman?

It feels like we're in a movie.

Aoyama Nanami suddenly stopped moving, and then...

clap clap clap!

Amidst the astonished gazes of passersby, she slapped her face hard with both hands several times, her fair cheeks immediately turning bright red.

"Alright! Tomorrow I'll enroll in a more formal voice acting school, and save the time I spend working to practice even more!"

Completely ignoring the astonished looks of passersby, Aoyama Nanami clenched her fist with boundless energy.

Therefore, it is no accident that some people succeed.

Effort does not guarantee success, but success always requires effort.

Xu Ming walked out of the convenience store. The thought of solving the strange incident and unexpectedly changing another girl's life made his steps lighter.

This feeling seems pretty good.

Around noon, Xu Ming finally bought everything on his list at a large camping supplies store.

Back home, Xu Ming began making final preparations, checking each item one by one before putting them into the newly purchased waterproof backpack.

After spending more than half an hour, Xu Ming finally finished the preparations before departure.

Seeing the little piglet lounging on the sofa watching anime with a soda and potato chips beside him, Xu Ming was both annoyed and amused. He walked over, grabbed the little piglet by both ears, and lifted it up.

"What are you doing, Xu Mingjun?!"

The piglet immediately squealed in dissatisfaction.

Although it doesn't hurt, it's affecting its ability to watch anime.

"Haruyuki Arita, we're going to a very dangerous place tonight, you..."

Xu Ming glanced at him sideways.

"If we mess up again today, our snacks and drinks will be halved!"

"No! Absolutely not! We oppose cutting back on snacks and drinks!"

The piglet immediately squealed, its snout twitching and its eyes widening.

Xu Ming glanced at him and said casually.

"If you cause any more trouble, the fine will be halved."

The little piglet immediately fell silent, and tears of grievance welled up in its eyes.

Waaah~ These siblings are both so cold-blooded! They're practically tyrannical siblings!
