All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Brother Lin Qiu, Dad called this afternoon and said he wants you to bring some of the novels he wrote to the company tomorrow."

"Huh? What does he need those for?"

"They said they wrote too much and had forgotten most of the previous plot points, so they needed to rewrite it."

Chie tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying that she had packed quite a lot, and she couldn't carry it all by herself, so she could only ask Brother Lin Qiu to go with her.

"My dad's company..."

"I remember his place is pretty close to the amusement park, right? How about I take you there after I drop you off?"

Lin Qiu also remembered the figurine Qing Yuan had promised him, so he decided to go and see if Qing Yuan had put it in the right place.

"Huh? Really?"

Chie's eyes lit up immediately. There was a discount on tickets over there recently, so she could save a lot!

"Anyway, Chie, you've been pretty bored at home lately, right? I can pick up some things on my way, so wake me up early tomorrow."

"oh-"

After watching his younger sister happily skip back to her room, Lin Qiu tidied up the living room and then returned to his own room.

I'll ask Qingyuan today if he put the figurine there. If he stands me up, I'll be at a huge loss!

When he logged on, FishStealingCat and Qingyuan were already online, and even Fermented Rice Balls were online.

But after Lin Qiu found them...

"Death to the Lord!!!"

With a roar that seemed to release pent-up frustration, the Fish-Stealing Cat delivered a vicious back throw, slamming the Thief Monster hard onto the ground.

Accompanied by a chilling sound of bones cracking, the fish-stealing cat showed no sign of letting its prey go.

Before the monster could get up, she raised her small foot and stomped hard on its back. As she brandished the chain around its neck, she suddenly yanked it off.

"Click——"

Lin Qiu's eyelids twitched wildly as he watched the monster's head being pulled in a strange direction, and then its entire corpse turned into a phantom and vanished.

However, after slaughtering the monsters, the fish-stealing cat was clearly still not satisfied, and with a dark expression, it continued to look for the next monster.

"what happened to him?"

Lin Qiu asked Qing Yuan in a low voice.

"It seems that someone in real life carelessly provoked him, and he couldn't stand it, so he vented his anger in the game."

"Wow—the person they provoked is really bold. If we run into them again, their heads will be ripped off!"

Lin Qiu muttered to himself without realizing it, and couldn't help but shudder when he thought of what had just happened.

This little boy looks harmless, but he's so violent!

"By the way, I'll put the figurine at the amusement park's lost and found tomorrow. You can pick it up when you have time."

"Aren't you afraid that if you just state the date directly, I might bring people to ambush you with ill intentions?"

Lin Qiu looked at Qing Yuan, who had spoken up to remind him, with some surprise. Was this girl confident that nothing would happen, or was her awareness of precautions too weak?

"Can you?"

Qingyuan glanced at him. Although she had only known him for a month, she still knew him to some extent.

Although he can be quite ruthless in business, he's generally a nice guy to talk to and doesn't have any bad intentions.

But even if he had bad intentions, it didn't matter. Anyway, no one in Canghai City could be his match, not to mention he knew all the underworld figures in the city...

For some reason, Lin Qiu instinctively shivered when Qing Yuan glanced at him.

Is this the confidence of a rich, handsome, and successful man? Well, it makes sense; these kinds of guys probably have plenty of bodyguards and butlers around, so they're very safe.

"Okay, I'll pick it up when I have time. By the way, is it a magical girl one? My sister's been really into these lately. If it is, I'll just give it to her later."

"My sister said it's a high-quality, exquisite Seven Deadly Sins figure. There are no magical girls, only seven beautiful girls. If you want the magical girl one, I can exchange it."

"No need! I think pretty girls are great!"

"You're such a despicable older brother..."

Qingyuan rolled her eyes at him. Is this just a token question?

That's fine, though. This way I won't have to barge into Qin Dan's room again. They've been locking their doors ever since that night.

It's no longer possible to just go in like last time, but climbing through windows or ceilings is still an option.

"Hmm? Are you guys going to meet in person?"

Yuanzi, who had been listening to their conversation the whole time, couldn't help but ask a question.

"No, it's just a small offline transaction, we don't meet in person, otherwise it wouldn't be very safe."

"Huh—are high school students these days all so wary?"

Sweet Rice Balls couldn't help but mutter to themselves. Although there were indeed many people with ill intentions offline, it felt strange that these two were so wary.

"There's no other way, safety comes first."

"That's true, but if any security issues arise, you can let me know. I know people in the police station."

"Yuanzi, are you a police officer?!"

Lin Qiu and Qing Yuan were both taken aback, and even the Fish-Stealing Cat stopped beating up the monsters and looked over curiously.

Yuanzi smiled and shook her head—

"No, I'm just the owner of a small bar. All sorts of people come here to drink, and we get to know each other over time."

"Hey—Yuanzi has opened a bar already? We're still in school."

"..."

Hearing the obvious age difference in their words, Yuanzi couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. What was this feeling of incongruity?

"But I've noticed you've been online for quite a while, Yuanzi. Is everything alright at the bar?"

"It's fine, we can just hire a bartender to keep an eye on things at the front desk."

"Is this the world of the rich...?"

Lin Qiu sighed, but he wasn't overly envious. He looked at Yuanzi thoughtfully.

If he owns a bar, no wonder he bought so many potions at once without batting an eye; he's that rich.

"If you ever want to meet up in person in the future, you can come to my bar. I can treat you to drinks or something."

Yuanzi smiled and said that she was quite interested in meeting in person, since she had connections in the police station and wasn't afraid of anything.

"Oh - I'll come when I have the chance."

Lin Qiu responded, but compared to the others, his attention was more focused on Qing Yuan.

Since Qingyuan is going to the amusement park to release her figurines tomorrow, I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet her if I go there early?

Are they all planning to go to the amusement park tomorrow?

The fish-stealing cat nearby narrowed its eyes, wondering if it should sneak over and take a look too.

I'm quite interested in the true nature of this unscrupulous businessman. Will he be just like the one I imagine him to be?

020 - This moment is the crossroads of fate!

"Brother Lin Qiu! Wake up! We promised to go to the amusement park today!"

Early in the morning, Lin Qiu, who had originally planned to sleep in late on the weekend, was woken up again by Qian Hui.

Looking sleepily at Qianhui, who was already dressed in a casual sweatshirt and capri pants and whose hair was neatly combed, Lin Qiu yawned listlessly.

"Chie, aren't you too excited? Even though we're going to the amusement park, it's only seven o'clock! Getting up early will shorten your lifespan..."

"What kind of talk is that! Don't forget, Dad is in a hurry for the novel, we have to send it to him right away."

"Ah—right, okay, okay, I'm up."

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Lin Qiu finally realized after a long while that he still had his father's business to attend to.

"Chie, you go pack your things first, I'll get dressed."

"Oh - then don't lie down anymore."

"I know, I know."

After reluctantly coaxing his younger sister out of the house, Lin Qiu finally got out of bed, feeling utterly exhausted.

Last night, that guy who stole the fish got into some kind of trouble and insisted on dragging them along to ravage the monsters, playing until the early hours of the morning.

Less than five hours of sleep is definitely not enough!

"I should really avoid provoking that guy in the future. He's too vengeful. Luckily, I wasn't the one who provoked him this time."

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, and after slowly getting dressed, he swayed as he walked out of the room.

As I looked down from the top of the stairs, I saw Chie struggling to drag a large box of documents out of her father's room.

"Wow, there's so much stuff!"

"Dad didn't say which book he wanted, so I just packed them all and took them with me."

"You can leave it there for now, I'll come get it later."

"Oh, breakfast is already on the table. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face before it gets cold."

Chie gave instructions and dragged the box a little further away before straightening up, panting.

Dad is really something, so many drafts are piled up everywhere, and they're not even connected together. It's going to be a huge hassle to reorganize them.

"Oh wow—this morning's breakfast is multigrain pancakes?"

"I've added everything you like, just a tiny bit of chili. If it's not enough, I'll add more as needed."

"Okay!"

It's so nice to have a thrifty and well-behaved younger sister.

Lin Qiu chuckled and, after quickly washing up, immediately strolled to the dining table to enjoy her breakfast.

"Here, also milk, seven-tenths warm."

Chie placed a cup of hot milk next to Lin Qiu before sitting down opposite him.

"Brother Lin Qiu, how long will you be able to stay there this time?"

Chie rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lin Qiu expectantly. Her parents had taken her there before, but they never stayed for long.

I wonder how long Lin Qiu will be able to play this time if it's just Lin Qiu?

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a great time this time. I just made a lot of pocket money yesterday, so whatever you want to do, eat, or buy today, I'll take care of it for you."

When this was mentioned, Lin Qiu made a very generous promise.

Just before logging off yesterday, I gave the sweet fermented rice balls some potion as a sample, and the other party was quite generous, paying a considerable deposit directly.

My wallet suddenly became much fuller!

"Oh!! Then I'm going to try all the rides in the amusement park today!"

"Okay, okay, I'll play whatever you want."

"By the way, Lin Qiu, aren't you planning to ask a female classmate to hang out with you?"

Chie's sudden question froze Lin Qiu's hand in place, and a helpless expression immediately appeared on his face.

Before, it was my parents urging me to hurry up, but now even Chie is starting to urge me?

Noticing his frustrated expression, Chie couldn't help but chuckle and quickly explained—

"Don't overthink it. It's just that whenever I watch anime, the main characters are always accompanied by girls their own age when they go to the amusement park. That makes it easy for them to develop feelings for each other. Maybe if you invite one of those girls over, Lin Qiu, it might just be the end of the story."

"Kids shouldn't worry about so much. Besides you and Mom, I don't have any other girls' contact information."

Lin Qiu flicked her forehead in annoyance. Besides, she was mainly there to pick up the figurines, so she didn't have time for a date, not to mention she didn't even have anyone to choose from.

Chie stuck out her cute little tongue, but didn't say anything more.

After watching Lin Qiu finish the last bite of the pancake, she eagerly stood up and urged him on—
