"Oh? It looks like my chopsticks pressed down on it first."

"Your illusion."

Qin Yunmo spoke without changing his expression, his chopsticks firmly poking at the beef, preventing these guys from dragging the short ribs away.

Seeing that the stalemate was not over, the force on the chopsticks gradually increased, and the chopsticks were used to slowly drag the beef rib toward him.

"Qin, eating too much meat can easily make you gain weight. To maintain your beautiful figure, you should let go."

"Don't worry about it, I'm the type of person who doesn't gain weight easily, so I don't have any concerns about what I eat."

Even as the force gradually increased, Qin Yunmo remained unfazed, even managing to glance at Ze Zhi's supple waist, and calmly said—

"But you, Sawaori... you've gotten a little chubby, haven't you?"

"..."

Zezhi's expression froze instantly, as if she had been struck in a vital spot, and she slunk away her hand.

Seeing his only allied forces retreat in an instant, Lin Qiu was devastated. Outnumbered and outmatched, he was powerless to resist Qin Yunmo's strength and could only watch helplessly as the largest cowboy bone was dragged away from him.

"Qin, do you really like beef short ribs?"

Seeing Qin Yunmo begin to eat his spoils with elegance and slow, deliberate savoring, Lin Qiu asked a subtle question.

That's rare. I thought Qin Yunmo wouldn't care so much about food.

"Hmm, this is one of the few dishes I can't make right now. It seems like everyone else makes them really well."

Qin Yunmo said casually, and although she seemed to be chewing slowly, she finished off a large piece of beef rib in just a few seconds.

Seeing her skillful technique, Lin Qiu's eyelids twitched, but in the end, he still reached for the chopped chili fish head opposite Ze Zhi with his chopsticks.

Seeing that this guy dared to invade her territory, Ze Zhi's eyes immediately sharpened...

064-The Qin Family's Mysterious Craftsmanship

"Ahem—Miss Sawaori, this fish head is so big, you can't possibly finish it all by yourself. It's a bit much!"

Looking at Ze Zhi who was desperately protecting the chopped chili fish head, Lin Qiu's lips twitched, and he didn't know where to start.

They could easily pick off Yuanzi and Qingyuan, but when it came to themselves, they were extremely defensive. It was clearly a targeted attack!

"Then hand over the lobster first, and you can exchange a bite of lobster meat for a bite of fish!"

"Hey, how much is the fish meat? How much is the lobster meat? You're ripping me off!"

"Huh? Who's usually the one ripping people off? You're selling my potions for much more than everyone else!"

"You did the same thing when you sold me information!"

......

"Ha-these two always seem like sworn enemies."

Seeing the two staring intently at each other, Ying Ziyan couldn't help but sigh.

Are you two destined to clash? It always seems like you're always at odds. It's amazing you've managed to stay together all this time.

"Was this how they were before I came?"

"Pretty much, especially when they haven't even recognized each other in person, they already seem off. You'll get used to it."

Qin Yunmo was already used to it; these two were mortal enemies in the game, let alone offline.

Who knows, maybe they'll start to get along after all that bickering?

Just like Xiaodan said, many relationships start with a love-hate dynamic.

"That's it."

Ying Ziyan nodded thoughtfully, but felt a little regretful.

It's rare to see a clean guy who's compatible with my XP system, but someone else beat me to it. I guess I'm just unlucky when it comes to relationships.

"By the way, how's the mission going? I wasn't online yesterday, so I don't know what happened."

While lightly chewing on the fried shrimp, Yuanzi seemed to remember something and quickly asked a question.

I hope I won't miss any important plot points.

"Nothing major, except Alice brought news that Liu Yu has gathered a bunch of bosses and is preparing to attack the city in a week, and also wants to capture the four of us."

"Eh?!"

Ying Ziyan was stunned upon hearing this. This was a trivial matter?!

Siege warfare! Since the server opened, no story event has ever reached this level!

However, the fact that she still wanted to capture them shows that Liu Yu harbors quite a grudge.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's not decided yet. That's why they wanted to come here to discuss it. After all, it's a team, and we can't do without anyone."

Qin Yunmo pointed to the two guys who were still glaring at each other, but if they continued like this, they might not be able to discuss anything even after they finished eating.

Ying Ziyan thought for a moment, then excitedly suggested—

"How about we stay and play Kara no Kyoukai for a bit? I have a spare console!"

"Oh wow? Playing together live? Count me in!"

Upon hearing about the offline gathering to play games, Ze Zhi immediately perked up. Maybe there would be a chance to see just how many good things that shady merchant had!

I had suspected before that he hadn't even revealed a third of his wealth, so today was a good opportunity to find out!

"How do you play 'Kara no Kyoukai' live? If you wear a helmet, you'll basically have to lie down."

"It's alright - I've already made arrangements. I even tidied up my room floor yesterday. All I need to do is lay out the bedding, and I can just lie down anywhere!"

Ying Ziyan explained with a smile that she had planned all the entertainment activities for today, and now that everyone was here, they naturally had to enjoy themselves!

Listening to Yuanzi's rather well-planned arrangements, Lin Qiu and the other two exchanged glances, clearly having no intention of objecting.

"Shall we start playing right after dinner?"

"No, that's not it. Lying down right after eating isn't good for your health, especially with cakes and desserts. I've written down all the little activities I've planned here, take a look."

While chewing on a crab claw, Ying Ziyan took out a small piece of paper from her pocket and spread it out in the center of the table.

"Enjoy a grand meal, cut the cake, have some drinks afterwards, watch a horror movie together, play some fighting games, and play 'Karakuri' offline..."

Ze Zhi read the contents of the note aloud, but Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo both showed helpless expressions.

"Um—Yuanzi, we have class tomorrow. It's fine to play with you, but we can't have a drink after dinner."

"It's nothing, that's my own reward!"

"You should still be careful not to drink too much, otherwise it's bad for your health."

Lin Qiu gave another word of advice, then glanced at the notes again, his eyes meeting Ze Zhi's briefly without leaving a trace.

These activities seem more like things a young girl is looking forward to trying but hasn't yet.

Does that mean Yuanzi hasn't had much experience with this before?

Although they had doubts, Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi wisely kept quiet and clinked glasses with Yuanzi and Qin Yunmo, which was considered as their agreement to tonight's arrangements.

Since I've already informed my parents, I might as well stay a little longer and spend some more time with Yuanzi.

How about we play some games together after dinner to help with digestion?

"Sure, I have a lot of game discs in my collection, including the latest PS. You can choose whatever you want to play."

"Yuanzi, you really are rich..."

"You unscrupulous merchant, what are you planning to do by extending your chopsticks while you're reminiscing about other things?"

Ze Zhi glanced sideways at Lin Qiu, who was acting suspiciously. Had he still not given up on his idea of ​​stealing her fish?

"Didn't you also extend your chopsticks?"

In response, Zezhi innocently raised her hands, her chopsticks making no improper moves.

Realizing something was wrong, Lin Qiu immediately looked to his side and saw Qin Yunmo's chopsticks were caught on a lobster, trying to sneak it away without his notice.

Qin Yunmo's hand paused involuntarily, not expecting the guy to discover him so quickly.

But after only a second of thought, the class monitor continued to carry the lobster into his bowl as if no one else was around.

As if worried that Lin Qiu would hold her accountable, she deliberately put the lobster's claws back in.

Qin, so you're a foodie after all?!

Seeing Qin Yunmo's skillful technique in peeling the lobster shell cleanly in an instant, the three people beside her were stunned, and for a moment they looked at her with a hint of admiration.

Miss Qingyuan, could you please demonstrate that skill of peeling a lobster in one second again?

How did you do that?!

The scene of his first meeting with Qin Xuan immediately flashed into Lin Qiu's mind, and his eyes narrowed instantly.

First, Xiao Xuan could grab and stack potato chips with one hand without crushing a single chip; then Qin Yunmo could perfectly peel a lobster shell in a second.

Is your whole family this amazing?!

What about Qin Dan? What are her specialties?

065 - The two families always find themselves thinking of each other without even realizing it.

"Achoo-"

A sudden sneeze startled Qin Dan, who was fishing for baby dolls.

He turned his head blankly to look at Qin Xuan and Qian Hui beside him, feeling as if someone had suddenly mentioned him.

Is it because my older sister misses me?!

"What's wrong, Xiao Dan? Didn't you catch any more dolls?"

Qin Xuan's voice immediately brought her back to her senses, and her face fell instantly.

"The claw on this claw machine is so soft, it can't grab the plush toy at all! How can you possibly catch it?"

"Chie only caught a bunch, while the others are almost empty."

"what?"

Qin Dan glanced at Qian Hui again in disbelief, only then noticing that her side was already piled high with dolls.

The claw machines were piled high with game tokens, suggesting they were about to empty all the machines.

"How did she do it?"

"They say it was taught by Brother Lin Qiu. I've fished like that several times before. If you add a little extra and resell them, you can make a lot of money."

"Eh......"

Qin Dan's lips twitched, and she decisively moved closer to Qian Hui to carefully observe her technique.

There must be some secret to catching so many dolls!

Once I learn it, and resell it like Brother Lin Qiu, I can become a rich woman!

Just as Qin Dan snapped out of her daze, she saw the rapidly spinning claw snag on the doll's tag, scooping it up while simultaneously entangled another doll in the process.

Seeing this scene, which was completely different from what she had imagined, Qin Dan was stunned.

Coach, could you please slow down the playback? I didn't see what happened!

Are all members of the Lin family this capable?!

"Ah chirp!"

Lin Qiu, who was far away in the bar, also sneezed and stared blankly at the can in his hand.

Is Chie thinking of herself?

However, he didn't think too much about it and instead pushed the can of food in front of Qin Yunmo, looking expectant.

"Squad leader, Yuanzi says she can't open this can no matter what she tries, could you give it a shot?"

"Click!"
