All my teammates online are my girlfriends

About an hour later, Lin Qiu and Qian Hui, who had bought groceries, returned home.

As soon as they entered the room, their gazes immediately turned subtly to their mother, who was resting with her head on Lin Yichuan's lap, sucking on a lollipop and crossing her legs. For a moment, they didn't know where to begin their complaints.

"Xiao Qiu and Qian Hui are finally back! Where did they go to play today?"

"Going shopping with Brother Lin Qiu!"

After putting down the ingredients in her hands, Chie cheered and happily took small steps to jump into Ye Qianhe's arms.

The little face nuzzled affectionately against its mother's pretty face, revealing indescribable joy and closeness.

Looking at the two extremely similar faces, one big and one small, Lin Yichuan, who was being pressed down and suffering, couldn't help but smile indulgently. On the contrary, Lin Qiu's face fell.

What's with this feeling of being like an outsider?

"What's wrong, Xiao Qiu? Mommy has a seat left for you here. If you want to come over and act cute, we'd love to have you."

Ye Qianhe waved with a smile, making Lin Qiu's eyelids twitch.

"No thanks, I'm not a child anymore."

"Sigh - it's true that once children grow up, there will be a distance between them and their parents."

Ye Qianhe shook her head with feigned regret, but the smile on her face showed no sign of sadness. Instead, she stared thoughtfully at the small bag he was carrying.

Soon, she placed Qianhui in Lin Yichuan's arms and then sat up straight again, elegantly crossing her legs on the coffee table, leaning against the sofa with her arms outstretched and resting on the backrest.

His father's posture, so imposing, made Lin Qiu's gaze involuntarily drift towards him.

Although I've seen it countless times, I finally understand why Dad said he initially treated Mom like a brother...

Ignoring the strange looks from the father and son, Ye Qianhe instead asked with interest—

"By the way, I heard from Chie that you have a boyfriend?"

My partner? Where? I don't know anything about them!

Lin Qiu stared intently at Chie, who was secretly sticking out her tongue on the other side. Nothing had happened yet, so how could she have a boyfriend?

"Don't listen to Chie's nonsense. She just happened to run into a few female classmates when she went out to play. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Hey—is that really true?"

Ye Qianhe smiled knowingly, clearly still leaning more towards Qianhui's explanation.

I think we should get in touch more often with Qin Yunmo's mother!

"Qianhui sent me their photos today. Mom, I really like Qin Yunmo, you see..."

"No, no, no, I think Ze Zhi is better. You should contact her more."

"What do you mean, Lao Lin? Are you questioning my judgment?!"

"This is about choosing a daughter-in-law, so we have to be careful. I've seen the photos too, and Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi look great together!"

"Huh? Yunmo is clearly better. That kind of cool and sassy girl is probably Lin Qiu's favorite type!"

......

Watching the couple instantly start arguing over which daughter-in-law to side with, Lin Qiu was at her wit's end...

051 - A cheater was sitting next to me.

"Haha—for the first time, I feel that school is much easier than home."

Lin Qiu mumbled listlessly, slumped onto the desk like a salted fish.

However, because the elderly teacher was still lecturing at the podium, he didn't act too blatantly and could only try to use the body of the student in front of him to block his view.

Recalling the scene last night where her parents argued from the sofa to the kitchen, and then from the kitchen to the bed in the bedroom over their daughter-in-law, Lin Qiu felt a dull ache in her trigeminal nerve.

I should keep a closer eye on Chie from now on and make sure she doesn't send any more messages about being a daughter-in-law to my parents.

Meanwhile, Qin Yunmo, who was standing to the side, was also absentmindedly taking notes, but Ying Ziyan's image kept appearing in his mind.

I originally thought Yuanzi was an alcoholic middle-aged man or a rich second-generation, but I didn't expect her to be a mature and sophisticated woman.

Fortunately, Yuanzi has no other flaws besides her large breasts. She is also quite gentle and loves playing games just like me, so she's a good friend.

I wonder what's going on with the remaining two.

The fish-stealing cat... According to Huiyuan, she is extremely vengeful, cunning, and full of the characteristics of a shrewd businessman. Moreover, she can tell that I am a woman, which means that the other party is probably in the same situation as me.

As for Huiyuan, she's been his partner the longest and is the most familiar with him. He likes collecting figurines, and sometimes he can be even more ruthless than a fish-stealing cat. He likes staying at home and is definitely a typical otaku with no luck with women.

I wonder if these two will start fighting when they meet.

Just as she was trying her best to imagine the images of the kite and the fish-stealing cat, Lin Qiu on the other side seemed to remember something, suddenly sat up straight, and hurriedly started looking at her phone.

This guy's ups and downs actually pulled Qin Yunmo back to his senses.

Weiwei turned her head slightly to look at the query information on Lin Qiu's phone, and subconsciously read it aloud—

"The area boss near Shutrinia... Hmm? No wandering minions?"

"Squad leader, you know about this?"

Hearing Qin Yunmo's murmurs, Lin Qiu suddenly perked up. He thought Qin Yunmo was just an ordinary casual player, but he didn't expect him to know about the front lines.

"I tried to navigate this route with a friend before, and it was quite challenging."

Recalling the scene where he and Huiyuan rode on top of the wandering minister and beat him for more than ten minutes before he died, Qin Yunmo casually commented.

"Aren't wandering ministers considered bosses?"

"Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered as such, but rather as a special individual equivalent to a minor commander."

Lin Qiu explained, and after switching the page to the category of "Minor Commander," he immediately adopted the weathered and dejected look of a wandering official.

Unexpectedly, the number of posts about the wandering ministers had increased several times over, which surprised Lin Qiu slightly.

He randomly picked a link and glanced at the player comments; his brows immediately furrowed.

Seeing Lin Qiu's expression, Qin Yunmo realized something was wrong—

"what happened?"

"The wandering minister has run away."

"Ok?"

Even Qin Yunmo was stunned upon hearing this news and immediately peered over.

At 9:18 this morning, a player team was besieging the Wandering Ministers in the northwest area of ​​Shutlina City when a sudden change occurred.

The Wandering Minister has begun to exhibit behaviors such as self-interrupting the casting of his ultimate skill and disrupting the skill sequence.

Just as the wandering minister was about to be forcibly taken away, a new boss wielding a scythe suddenly appeared, saving the wandering minister in time, and the entire player team was wiped out.

When the players gathered more people and planned to once again besiege the Wandering Minister, they discovered that he was no longer at his fixed spawn point...

The loading bar was interrupted, and the boss, wielding a scythe, appeared...

Could it be that annoying big-breasted woman?

Almost simultaneously, the image of Liu Yu appeared in Qin Yunmo and Lin Qiu's minds. The woman's series of actions had exceeded the authority and intelligence that an NPC should have.

Has she already started to influence other NPCs?

"Why hasn't the official statement been released about this? Is there some kind of pre-planned large-scale event?"

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, feeling that things were getting increasingly strange lately.

First, Alice began to actively investigate the players' information, and then Liu Yu independently arranged spies, violating most of the established procedures.

Is the company behind "Karakuri" planning to achieve full autonomous intelligence for all NPCs, and then use the NPCs' identities to further evolve and drive the game's plot?

"Large-scale plot?"

Qin Yunmo looked at Lin Qiu with some doubt. This guy seemed to know a lot. Was he an information broker like the Fish-Stealing Cat? Or was he also part of the frontline strategy team like himself?

"Generally speaking, players follow the established main storyline to complete tasks, and then team up to fight monsters, explore dungeons, and defeat bosses."

"Of course, there is also the most famous guild war, which should be the largest form of entertainment for players, but it seems that 'Kara no Kyoukai' is planning to take it to another level."

"It could potentially escalate into a siege or a national defense war or something like that."

Lin Qiu explained, but when the image of the shadowy girl he had killed flashed through his mind, his heart skipped a beat.

If I remember correctly, Liu Yu used to call her princess. Could it really be going to be like this?

"You know quite a lot, huh? An information broker?"

"No, I have a guy, I just learned a lot from him. But the class monitor seems to be a pro player too."

Lin Qiu looked at Qin Yunmo with great interest.

If at first I felt that the class monitor in front of me was rather unapproachable, now I feel that the distance between us has suddenly closed a lot.

Games are indeed the most effective way to foster friendships!

"It's alright. My teammates are quite skilled, so they know a lot."

"Oh-oh right, class monitor. There's one more thing."

"Did you take notes? I was so busy looking at my phone that I completely forgot to take notes."

"..."

Seeing that this guy, like Lin Zhonghuiyuan, occasionally drove people crazy, Qin Yunmo sighed slightly, but still tossed his notebook to him.

Lin Qiu casually flipped through the densely filled notes and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement—

"As expected of the class monitor, your notes are so neat... Did you take these notes during the lecture just now?"

Lin Qiu glanced at the latest notes and was slightly taken aback. Wasn't she just staring at her phone with him? How could she remember so much?

However, Qin Yunmo calmly turned a page of the book and casually explained—

“I’ve been listening to both sides, so it hasn’t affected me much. But you, you stopped taking notes when you got to the third paragraph of the translation, so you missed quite a few points. You should catch up quickly.”

Goodness, you're multitasking!

Lin Qiu stared in shock at Qin Yunmo, who seemed as calm and collected as a hermit, and finally understood why this guy could not only be the class monitor but also join the student council.

This multitasking talent, coupled with his exceptional fighting skills, makes him the perfect protagonist template!

052 - On How to Stay Single

"You've already met?"

"Hmm - Qingyuan came to play yesterday, which was quite unexpected."

"Male or female? Is he a tall, rich, and handsome guy?!"

"It's a secret, you'll find out when you come tomorrow."

Looking at Yuanzi's message, Lin Qiu felt incredibly eager, wishing he could fast-forward to tomorrow night.

I've been putting up with that fish-stealing cat for a long time. As long as he looks a little easier to bully, it's time for me to humiliate him!

"Achoo-"

Sawaori, who was sitting in her seat, suddenly sneezed and stared blankly at the lunchbox she had just taken out.

Is someone thinking about themselves?

Is that Yuanzi? I heard she's already met Qingyuan, but neither of them has revealed what the other looks like; they're being very mysterious.

The rest, including myself and the unscrupulous merchant, haven't shown up, and we don't even know what that bastard looks like.

If he's just that kind of skinny, nerdy guy, hmph...

As if by telepathy, Lin Qiu on the other side also shivered, causing Qin Yunmo to glance at him sideways.

I have a feeling this guy isn't going to be quiet all day.

"Squad leader, aren't you going to the cafeteria?"

“If I go there, a lot of people will gather around and stare at me, which will make me very uncomfortable.”

Qin Yunmo gave a brief explanation, then took out the lunchbox he had prepared earlier from his desk.

Lin Qiu nodded knowingly at this situation, his gaze lingering on the exquisite dishes in her lunchbox with envy.
