"This is absolutely not to be touched." The manual listed a red zone with this annotation.

In a way, this can be considered an...unconventional foreign language learning material.

Unlike other everyday example sentences, it wasn't easy to get bored, but it was still incredibly impactful, making Aine need to take a break after a while, yet she couldn't help but want to keep watching, as if she were fighting a poisonous level in a Souls-like game.

"Can my young mind really accept this content?"

Looking at the things outside the information cocoon, Aine couldn't help but think this way.

"The impact on teenagers is immeasurable..."

…………

On the way to the Futoshin Line, Xiangzi was also looking at the housing management operation manual compiled by Qianna.

"I initially thought that you made Ai Yin a moderator just to satisfy her psychological needs..."

"Well..." China was also a little conflicted. She wanted Aine to take the role of room manager seriously, but she needed to let her learn about things she didn't usually deal with.

However, after gaining some of the original owner's memories, her actions were inevitably influenced by the original owner's thoughts.

The same thing happened with the claw machine; some drastic measures were used to stop Aine from continuing to put coins into the bottomless pit below the machine.

"I feel like this will put a lot of pressure on Xiao Aiyin, talking about being a guardian and all that..."

"It's alright. Since you've already appointed her as the housing manager, it's only right that she fulfills her duties," Xiangzi said calmly.

Today I'm going to the drone rental show company, which is quite far away in Yokohama.

As usual, before Qiannai called a taxi, Xiangzi mentioned that he would save money by taking the train.

I didn't have high expectations, but this time China surprisingly agreed, saying that she wanted to relive her old life and see the scenery along the way.

"Speaking of which, my sister has always been obsessed with saving money."

"I..." Xiangzi seemed to be deep in thought.

During those days of economic hardship, she carefully calculated every penny, often fearing that she wouldn't have enough money, and tried to save as much as possible.

Even now, I still maintain the habit of being frugal, even though the money I save by taking the high-speed train is negligible.

But since it is "unnecessary", saving money is the preferred option.

There's nothing wrong with that; this mindset can also be applied to how to save costs in business.

And she was also constrained by her younger sister. When people have money, their desires will continue to grow, not to mention the frenzied consumerism during China's restless period.

Even the richest person can be drained by desires, and Xiangzi didn't want to see the tragedy of falling into poverty again.

“Yes, I have a strong desire to save money, which is why I can support you,” Xiangzi, the agent, said calmly.

Although sometimes, saving a little money is just to make yourself feel better.

It seems to be somewhat like handwashing compulsion; rationally, one knows that it's unnecessary to wash for so long, but still can't help doing it.

It also seems there are other reasons.

In fact, even before her family went bankrupt, she always took the tram to school.

The private driver would at most drop her off at the tram stop, but she was very energetic at the time and preferred to get up early and walk a little further.

Tsuki no Mori itself encourages students to travel independently, seemingly to cultivate a sense of independence and to support green travel.

Does the fact that wealthy young women ride trams make them part of an independent group?

Going a step further, it seems to be to avoid the phenomenon of comparing and discussing whose car is of a certain class on campus.

“I used to be used to it.”

"Hmm, it seems that noble families are used to having their children keep a low profile."

China's lips curled up slightly on one side.

"This makes it easier to get along with others."

"It's just... too much trouble. Anyway, Haneoka has a good school spirit, so my classmates won't ostracize me because of my extravagant travels, right?"

Being overly concerned about others' opinions is the root of anxiety, and with posts discussing these topics every minute around the world, intensive self-searching will only drive you crazy.

Therefore, China followed the original owner's point of view, or rather, accepted the thoughts in her memories, and stopped looking at those murky things.

Live a more carefree life...

Xiangzi also felt that it was good for Qiannai to let go of her psychological burden, so he added:

"It's okay, you can travel however you like."

"When will you learn to ride a motorcycle and give me a ride?" China suddenly thought.

"...After finishing up this morning, I'll go buy a motorcycle this afternoon. I'll go to the shop owned by Hailing."

"Great!"

…………

"Wow……"

Upon arrival, China was immediately drawn to the dazzling array of drones on display.

This is a drone specialty store that sells well-known drones such as DJI, ZeroTech, and Pano, and also provides rental and performance services. It was once hired to perform in a Pokémon light show at Yokohama Port.

Located in the center of the counter is an agricultural quadcopter drone, measuring 1.5 meters in length and width, with a payload capacity of 100 kilograms.

"I feel like I could take this to school?" China leaned over and examined the drone.

“Then it’s not a drone anymore…” Xiangzi complained, feeling she should take back her statement that “you can travel however you like.”

“(o) This one is so cute.”

China then took a liking to a DJI Mini drone next to her.

It's so small that it folds up to the size of a palm, making it portable and perfect for aerial photography anytime.

"I really want to buy one."

Before Xiangzi could even mention wanting to save money, Qiannai quickly added a suitable reason.

"There are many virtual vloggers, and we can occasionally make some aerial landscape videos, so buying a drone is necessary."

That's what they say, but China had already thought about ordering takeout at school at noon and then using a drone to pick it up at the school gate.

Xiangzi sighed softly, "We came here mainly to discuss the drone show."

"Hello."

At that moment, the staff at the counter came over.

"Excuse me, do you need to use drone performances for publicity in Ikebukuro?"

Xiangzi nodded: "Yes, to promote the band and the virtual streamer, we hope to use drones to create silhouettes of the members, just like your company's Pokémon light show last time."

"Okay, let's set aside a moment to discuss the solution."

The two followed the staff into the back building of the store.

In the center, surrounded by buildings, is an open lawn where drones are evenly arranged in rows.

Following the instructions from the debugging personnel, the drones all took off together, forming the word "Welcome" in mid-air.

“That’s so cool…” China said, head held high.

Chapter 201 The Gravity of Reality...

If it were nighttime, with the lights on the drones illuminated, each drone acting as a pixel, the resulting flowing letter effect would obviously be even better.

Even now, China is still quite shocked to see the three-dimensional "Welcome" lettering floating and rotating in the air.

"Could it be arranged into a rotating, three-dimensional fried chicken nugget?"

She came up with a stream-of-consciousness meme, and a large-scale reinterpretation of it became art.

"Haha... The band logo you need to promote shouldn't be chicken nuggets, right?"

“Yes, not chicken nuggets,” Qian Nai suddenly blurted out, thinking of the band logo designed by Xiangzi, “it’s a Bethesda gear.”

Seeing Xiangzi frown, Qiannai immediately stopped smiling: "I'm sorry..."

In detail, the logo is a crescent moon, with a notch on the left side resembling a gear.

This design fits the worldview perfectly, whether it's the fact that the dolls awaken on the night of the full moon or the gears symbolizing the dolls.

Presenting such a logo in the form of a drone against the night sky would surely be both stunning and fitting for the theme.

When the display is rotated, the gear notch will turn to the right, making it hard not to associate it with the Bethesda logo and think they are promoting the starry sky.

But it doesn't matter, this text still needs to be printed.

The most important part was the part where drones simulated the silhouette of a puppet making movements. When Xiangzi was watching the giant "Welcome" rotate, he noticed a problem.

"The flight speed of drones is limited, which also limits the speed of the puppet's movements..."

She recalled the Pokémon drone light show before, where the Pokémon, which were hundreds of meters long, moved slowly when waving, walking, or doing other actions.

Because just waving your hand requires the drone to fly a trajectory of tens of meters back and forth.

Chinatsu nodded: "It seems unlikely that it will be possible for something like Meow Dream... no, Amoris, to jump out and say hello so easily."

"The silhouette structure of the doll is also quite complex, so why don't we just release the logo for advertising..."

Just as Xiangzi was considering the cost, Qiannai suddenly had an idea.

"That won't do. The point of choosing a drone light show is to create a romantic atmosphere, right? I have an idea..."

She then turned to the drone technicians and said:

"If you make the drones evenly distributed along a preset animation trajectory and then fix them in that position as pixels that are either lit or not lit, it's like an OLED screen, but it's true 3D."

"The original animation trajectory was that the drone flew from one point to another. Now it has become that the drone on the left turns off its lights, and the drone on the right turns on its lights, and so on, creating the effect of a beam of light flowing towards a certain place."

Is this feasible?

The technician stroked his chin, then nodded and said:

"When we were doing a Pokémon light show before, we needed to show the speed of some special effects like fire and lightning, so we used this technique."

"But the array was only set up in the parts where special effects needed to be displayed. If the puppets to be presented needed to be hundreds of meters in size, and this technique was needed to achieve a light and fast animation..."

"The number of drones required will increase more than tenfold. Originally, it would have taken thousands of drones to create a 3D image the size of a building, but this solution would require tens of thousands."

The debugging personnel clearly meant that the cost would increase tenfold.

"Approximately... how much will it cost?" China asked somewhat anxiously.

"A 15-minute performance would cost approximately 160 million?"

"hiss??"

China gasped. It seemed that getting more drones to take off required overcoming more than just Earth's gravity.

Even a world-class singer is facing financial difficulties; she currently only has 86 million in hand.

"Let's not take this approach. Let's reduce the number of drones to one thousand and then find sponsors to share the costs," Xiangzi said.

"Why don't we mention this proposal to the sponsors? Maybe someone will support it..."

China said with little confidence that her idea for a drone show was far-fetched, but she estimated that sponsors wouldn't be so optimistic about the return on investment.

"The goal is usually to increase the number of drones to create a larger image that is more visible in the night sky," the technician added.

"Ah...it seems this idea still has limitations..." China sighed.

Wanting both large images to ensure visibility for all promotional materials and smoother animation effects—only someone with money to burn, who disregards commercial interests, can achieve that…

Xiangzi did not maintain his original point of view, but after a moment of contemplation, he said:

"Let's submit all the proposals to the sponsors and let them decide."

"Hmm..." China lowered her eyes and pursed her lips helplessly.

Will there really be a wealthy person to fulfill her fantasies?

In the afternoon, at a motorcycle shop in the suburbs, which mainly sells Honda motorcycles and provides modification and repair services.

This place looks like it's been open for quite a few years; the unfinished cement floor is a mix of gray and white.
