My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

Watching Jiu Xiao's departing figure, Mami felt a bitter pang in her heart. She sighed softly, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the corner of the blanket. Although she had said she allowed Jiu Xiao to be unfaithful, she still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when faced with the reality. Who exactly was that "little kitten"? The ambiguity in Jiu Xiao's words made her feel uneasy, even a little jealous.

Chapter 151 Homura Akemi: Have you... ever made breakfast for Madoka?

Before leaving his senior, Jiu Xiao also took her panties, calling them "spoils of war".

Mami Tomoe was both amused and embarrassed; she hadn't expected Jiuxiao to have this kind of hobby...

Walking along the streets in the early morning, a slight chill filled the air, but Jiu Xiao's thoughts were somewhat chaotic. He soon arrived at Akemi Homura's house. Jiu Xiao carefully took out his spare key, which he had shamelessly begged from Homura the day before. He gently turned the key, the lock making a soft "click." Jiu Xiao held his breath and tiptoed to push open the door, afraid of making any noise.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of morning light filtering through the gaps in the curtains. Jiu Xiao tiptoed into the living room, and when his gaze swept over the sofa, he was surprised to find that Akemi Homura was lying on it, simply draped in a blanket, curled up in a ball. To be honest, she really did look a bit like a kitten.

Jiu Xiao stood beside the sofa, quietly watching the sleeping Xiao Meiyan. Her breathing was very light, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her brows were furrowed, as if even in her sleep there was a trace of unease. Jiu Xiao couldn't help but soften his movements, afraid of waking her.

He gently crouched down, reaching out to tidy up the blanket that had slipped down her back, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her skin. Akemi Homura's skin was cool, like morning dew, clean yet carrying a slight chill. Kushou's fingers paused slightly, a strange sense of guilt welling up inside him.

Although he wasn't narcissistic enough to believe that Homura Akemi was waiting for him there, the scene still made him feel a little guilty and touched. Or perhaps, self-indulgent? Quickly withdrawing his hand, Jiu Xiao prepared to get her a blanket to cover herself with. Even if magical girls didn't catch colds, he couldn't just watch Homura Akemi get chilled on the sofa. Even though she had already been chilled all night.

Jiu Xiao tiptoed toward Xiao Meiyan's room, only to find that the girl's door was locked. She was treating him like a thief! Left with no other choice, Jiu Xiao could only gently drape his own blanket over her.

Standing beside the sofa, watching Homura Akemi gradually relax, Jiu Xiao felt a little more at ease. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, intending to prepare a delicate breakfast for Homura Akemi, as a small way to alleviate his guilt.

Unbeknownst to Jiuxiao, Akemi Homura's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She had actually been awake the moment Jiuxiao entered, but she chose to pretend to be asleep to see if he would do anything out of line. Ideally, she could solidify his guilt, giving her a reason to keep Madoka away from him.

Homura Akemi could sense Kusho approaching. She was conflicted, both anticipating something "improper" from him and not wanting him to be that kind of person. When Kusho gently touched her skin with his fingertips, Homura almost couldn't help but open her eyes, but she managed to hold back.

In the end, Jiuxiao didn't do anything out of line. He even thoughtfully covered her with the blanket and went to the kitchen. Xiaomeiyan felt a little guilty. Had she really been judging him by her own petty standards? Feeling the warmth and familiar scent from under the blanket, a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Perhaps Jiuxiao wasn't as bad as she imagined? Akemi Homura pondered silently. Relieved, Akemi Homura felt her eyelids grow heavier and heavier, her consciousness gradually blurring, and she actually fell asleep again. This time, her brows relaxed, and her breathing became steady and long, as if she had unloaded some invisible burden.

In the kitchen, Jiu Xiao was dumbfounded. There was nothing there at all, not even the refrigerator. It was cleaner than when he first arrived. Apart from a few bottles of milk and some dry bread slices, there wasn't even an egg to be found. What he didn't know was that Akemi Homura had used up all the ingredients yesterday to practice her cooking skills.

Jiu Xiao sighed helplessly. Oh well, he'd have to go to the supermarket again. He checked the time; it was still early, but the supermarket should already be open. He tiptoed to the sofa, and after confirming that Akemi Homura was still fast asleep, he picked up his coat and keys, ready to go out. Before leaving, he glanced back at Akemi Homura; her sleeping face was even more peaceful than before, and there seemed to be a faint smile on her lips. Jiu Xiao's heart stirred; he suddenly felt that this kind of morning wasn't so bad after all.

Standing in front of the entrance, Jiu Xiao felt like he had forgotten something important. It wasn't until he opened the door and saw Bai Jiangzhu glaring at him angrily outside that he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take Bai Jiangzhu in her beige form with him when he left his senior's house that morning.

"That's outrageous! You actually left Xiaozhu alone at someone else's house!" Bai Jiangzhu glared angrily at Jiuxiao, her small face filled with dissatisfaction and grievance. With her hands on her hips, she looked exceptionally cute in her white-haired loli form, while also appearing somewhat fierce and endearing.

Jiu Xiao suddenly felt a headache coming on. How could he have forgotten about this! He quickly squatted down, trying to soothe Bai Jiangzhu's emotions: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my oversight. There were too many things to do, and I didn't think of it for a moment."

Bai Jiangzhu, however, was unconvinced and turned her face away angrily: "Hmph! Xiaozhu doesn't want to hear your explanation! You don't care about Xiaozhu at all!"

Jiu Xiao scratched his head helplessly, thinking that this little guy had quite a temper. He could only continue to coax him gently, "Don't be angry, I came to pick you up, didn't I? Besides, I was just about to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and cook you something delicious, how about that?"

Upon hearing the words "delicious food," Bai Jiangzhu's eyes lit up instantly, but she quickly put on a stern face and pretended not to care, saying, "Hmph, do you think you can bribe Xiaozhu with delicious food? Xiaozhu isn't that easy to fool."

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao chuckled inwardly, knowing that she had wavered. He sighed with feigned regret, "Alright then, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. I was originally planning to buy some cheesecake and strawberry cake, but it seems I'll have to give up now."

Bai Jiangzhu's ears twitched slightly, clearly attracted by the "cheese." Her eyes began to flicker, and although she tried to maintain an angry expression, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Jiu Xiao saw this and secretly felt smug, knowing that his strategy had worked.

"Hmm... cheesecake with strawberries?" Nagisa Hyakue asked, trying to sound calm, but her tone already betrayed a hint of anticipation.

“Yes, I heard the supermarket just got a new batch of fresh strawberries. The cakes made with them will definitely be delicious.” Jiuxiao deliberately emphasized the words “delicious,” while secretly observing Baijiangzhu’s reaction.

Bai Jiangzhu finally couldn't hold back any longer. She turned around, her little face still puffed up, but the anger in her eyes had disappeared: "Well... alright then, Xiaozhu will reluctantly forgive you this once. But you have to promise Xiaozhu that you won't leave Xiaozhu behind again!"

Hmph, a mere cricket on the riverbank, a slice of cheesecake and strawberry cake would have sufficed. Jiu Xiao even suspected that just giving her the cheesecake would have been enough; the cake and strawberries would have been superfluous. But he couldn't bring himself to do something so despicable...

Inside the supermarket, Jiu Xiao pushed a shopping cart, carefully selecting fresh ingredients. Bai Jiangzhu also touched this and looked at that, her small figure weaving between the shelves like a little Hakimi. Jiu Xiao grabbed a bag of flour, a few slices of bacon, and picked out some fresh vegetables and fruits. Passing by the dessert section, Bai Jiangzhu's attention was quickly drawn to the dazzling array of snacks, especially the beautifully packaged cheese products; her eyes practically lit up.

"Big brother, look at this!" Nagisa Hyakue excitedly pointed to a row of cheese sticks, her voice full of anticipation. "This looks delicious!"

Jiuxiao glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh, "Eating so many dairy products, be careful not to gain weight."

Bai Jiangzhu pouted and retorted unhappily, "Nagisa won't get fat! Besides, cheese is good for your health, don't you know that, big brother?" As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and tried to take the box of cheese sticks off the shelf.

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao shook his head helplessly and reached out to take it down for her: "Alright, alright, since you like it so much, then I'll buy a box. But you can't finish it all at once, you have to eat it slowly, understand?"

Nagisa, holding the cheese stick, immediately broke into a bright smile and nodded repeatedly, "Mmm! Nagisa will definitely eat it slowly! Big brother is the best!"

Seeing her satisfied expression, Jiu Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. He pushed the shopping cart and continued walking, with Bai Jiangzhu following closely beside him, occasionally stealing glances at the cheese sticks in the cart, as if afraid they would grow legs and run away.

“Oh, right, big brother,” Nagisa Momoe suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, “Aren’t we supposed to buy a cheesecake with strawberries?”

Jiu Xiao nodded, giving her a "I can't do anything with you" look, and chuckled as he ruffled her hair: "Then you'd better behave and not run around in the supermarket, or the cheesecake strawberry cake will fly away!"

Bai Jiangzhu immediately straightened her little body and solemnly promised, "Xiaozhu will definitely be good! Big brother, don't worry!"

The two continued shopping for ingredients at the supermarket. Although Bai Jiangzhu lingered in the snack section, she refrained from asking for any other snacks because of the cake she had been longing for. Jiu Xiao watched this and secretly sighed, thinking that although the little one was greedy, she was quite sensible when it mattered.

At checkout, Bai Jiangzhu proactively helped Jiu Xiao place the items from his shopping cart onto the counter one by one. Her movements were a little clumsy, but her attitude was very earnest. Jiu Xiao took out his wallet—yes, it was Xiao Yuan's pink bag again. Could this be considered using Xiao Yuan's money to support other women...?

After paying the bill, Jiu Xiao began to think about making money. If he could eliminate Witch Night, this world would undoubtedly be a better place to live than the Black Bullet world. He couldn't keep relying on Xiao Yuan's money forever. Although Xiao Yuan didn't mind, and might even be happy, Jiu Xiao still felt a little guilty.

After all, he's a man. How can he rely on a girl's financial support forever? Besides, many girls in this world have families still alive. Without substantial financial resources, how could Jiu Xiao dare to propose marriage? He'd probably get his legs broken.

Stepping out of the supermarket, Bai Jiangzhu clutched the box of cheese sticks like a precious treasure, her face beaming with happiness. After enjoying the treat on the street, Bai Jiangzhu transformed back into Beibei's form, carried by Jiuxiao in one arm, attracting many strange glances from passersby. A grown man carrying a bizarre doll walking down the street did indeed seem rather out of place. And whether Bai Jiangzhu did it intentionally or not, she didn't shrink her size, making her very conspicuous.

The first thing Jiu Xiao did when he got home was to toss the little one into his room, leaving her to gather dust in a corner to prevent her from causing any more trouble. He glanced at the time; it was only a little before seven. Jiu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally have some peace and quiet. He went to the kitchen and began preparing the ingredients he had just bought, getting ready to cook a hearty Chinese breakfast.

After breakfast was prepared, Homura Akemi finished washing up, and the two sat at the table, the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Homura Akemi ate her steamed buns, finding them unexpectedly delicious. She glanced up at Kusho and saw him smiling at her, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"How does it taste?" Jiuxiao asked.

"Not bad," Homura Akemi replied casually, but her tone lacked its usual coldness.

Jiu Xiao was a little unconvinced. "Is it just 'not bad'?" He raised an eyebrow and deliberately showed a disappointed expression. "I put a lot of effort into it. Even Xiao Yuan used to say it was delicious."

When Madoka was mentioned, Homura Akemi paused slightly with her chopsticks. She was silent for a moment, then asked in a calm but slightly probing tone, "Have you... ever made breakfast for Madoka? By the way, when did you two meet?"

Jiu Xiao's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he teased, "Want to know? I won't tell you unless you praise my cooking skills. Otherwise, I'll have to keep this a secret."

Upon hearing this, Homura Akemi slightly raised her eyes to look at him, her lips twitching as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak, and just lowered her head to continue eating her steamed bun.

Seeing that Homura Akemi remained silent, Jiuxiao didn't say anything more, simply lowering his head and quietly eating his breakfast. He knew that this morning might only be the beginning. After breakfast, Jiuxiao handed Homura Akemi two bento boxes that he had prepared in advance.

"This is lunch prepared for you. Please take the other portion to Xiaoyuan. Consider it a 'borrowed flower to offer to Buddha' (a Chinese idiom meaning to give something away for free)."

Akemi Homura took the lunchbox, her fingertips inadvertently touching Kyuu's hand. She paused slightly, then casually withdrew her hand.

"Using flowers to present to Buddha?" She looked up at Jiuxiao, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Jiuxiao smiled and explained, "Yes, after all, these ingredients were bought with Xiaoyuan's money. I can't just take her things for nothing, can I? So this bento is like borrowing her flowers to offer to her, the Buddha."

Homura Akemi frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Kusho's analogy, but she didn't say much. She simply replied, "You really are... can't you find a proper job? You're always idling around, even having to use Madoka's money to buy groceries. Don't you think that's a bit much?" Although Homura Akemi's tone remained calm, there was a hint of reproach in her words.

Chapter 152 Madoka Kaname, in Danger!

Jiu Xiao's smile froze, almost crumbling. That was a sharp and incisive question. And the other person was a middle school student, making him incredibly embarrassed; he wanted nothing more than to disappear into the ground. Jiu Xiao scratched his head, trying to defend himself, but before he could even speak, Homura Akemi's follow-up remarks were delivered.

"Speaking of which, the phone you usually use looks familiar too. Could it be Madoka's as well?" Homura Akemi's eyes were sharp, like a dagger piercing his heart. He subconsciously touched the phone in his pocket, a forced smile appearing on his face.

"Well..." Jiu Xiao stammered, trying to change the subject, "Actually, it doesn't matter whose cell phone you use, the important thing is being able to contact people, right? And you know, I've only been in this world for a short time, I don't even have legal status yet, so finding a job or getting a cell phone isn't really going to be easy..."

Akemi Homura sighed, unsure what to say to Jiuxiao for such a legitimate reason. In the end, she could only coldly reply, "It's up to human effort." After saying this, she turned and left, her back view appearing exceptionally aloof.

Jiu Xiao sat alone at the dining table, lost in thought, seriously considering how to make money. He had come to this world in a hurry, and apart from some clothes and daily necessities, he hadn't brought any precious metals with him in his system space. His immediate priority was to quickly obtain legal status and then find a job, at least to ensure he wouldn't have to rely on others for a single meal. Jiu Xiao sighed, mentally planning his next steps.

It's all this crappy system's fault. Other systems either prepare a reasonable introduction for their hosts, or directly provide resources, or at least offer some convenience. But this system of mine is different; besides throwing him into this world, it hasn't given him anything, not even a hint. Jiu Xiao was speechless and couldn't help but curse a few times in his mind.

System: ...Please turn on voice chat!

In an office building in Tokyo, Kaname Hiroko was busy processing documents. A shrewd and capable career woman, she was always fully occupied with work as the president of a well-known news company. However, today she seemed somewhat distracted, her mind frequently drifting to the image of her daughter, Kaname Madoka.

"Madoka seems to be preoccupied lately..." Kaname put down her pen and gently rubbed her temples. As a mother, she keenly noticed the recent changes in her daughter. A while ago, Madoka suddenly became very depressed and even cried. She's been much more normal these past couple of days, though she sometimes spaces out, seemingly lost in thought.

Furthermore, a couple of days ago, Xiaoyuan said she had lost her phone and wallet. Kaname could tell at a glance that she was lying. When questioned, she was unwilling to say much and only gave vague and evasive answers, which made Kaname even more worried. At first, she only suspected that Xiaoyuan had broken up with her boyfriend, but now she strongly suspected that Xiaoyuan was being bullied at school.

Kaname Shunko absentmindedly reviewed the news submissions that had been initially screened by her employees. Soon, a photo caught her attention. The photo showed an unfamiliar young man confronting a thug, with three girls protecting him behind him. The blue and pink-haired girls looked increasingly familiar to her; they resembled her beloved Madoka and Sayaka Miki.

Due to the shooting angle and lighting, the photo was very blurry, and Kaname couldn't be completely sure. But her intuition told her that the pink-haired girl in the photo was likely Kaname Madoka. She just didn't know what her relationship with this boy was; perhaps Madoka's recent unusual behavior was related to him.

Fortunately, a video file was also sent along with the photos, stored on an SD card. Kaname immediately inserted the SD card into her computer and opened the video file. Although the picture was still blurry, it was much clearer than the photos.

Kaname saw the strange boy and the thug exchange something, and then Madoka and a blonde girl took out their wallets. The boy seemed very angry at this and started punching and kicking the thug, beating him senseless. Madoka and the blonde girl watched nervously, seemingly wanting to intervene but hesitant to do so. Finally, the thug fled in a sorry state, while the boy turned around, said a few words to Madoka and her friends, and then disappeared from the frame.

Kaname Junko stared at the screen, her brow furrowed. She strongly suspected that her daughter had been set up. The hero rescuing the damsel in distress trope, while cliché, was a surefire way to ensnare girls like Madoka. Add to that the other person's handsome appearance, and it was hard not to suspect something was amiss.

As a media professional, Kaname Shunko has seen far too many tricks up her sleeve, and she knows all too well that there is no such thing as kindness without a reason in this world.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Kaname replayed the video, carefully observing the stranger's every movement and expression. Although the boy looked young, he was quite skilled, handling the thugs with ease. However, his eyes revealed a ruthlessness beyond his years, which made Kaname uneasy.

"Who exactly is this person? What is his purpose in approaching Madoka?" Kaname Yuuko muttered to herself. It's no wonder she was suspicious; people in their line of work often offended people. Especially those powerful figures whose scandals were exposed—who knew what extreme measures they might take in retaliation? The more Kaname Yuuko thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she decided to find out the boy's identity as soon as possible.

She picked up her phone and dialed a relative who worked at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kaname Yoshiko got straight to the point and sent him a photo of the boy.

With the photos available, the results came out quickly. However, the results were utterly unbelievable; the boy seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, with no record of him in any government agency. Neither household registration information, school records, nor any other records could be found.

It was only from some surveillance footage that we learned the boy had suddenly appeared in Mitakihara in the last few days. According to the latest surveillance video, the boy went shopping at a supermarket in the morning. After the video was sent to Kaname Yuuko, she immediately recognized that the wallet the boy used when paying was the same limited edition wallet that Kaname Madoka had previously "lost".

Kaname looked thoughtful, realizing that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. Perhaps it was time to have a serious talk with Madoka, and it would be best to bring that boy along.

Yuan Jiuxiao, danger!

Kaname Madoka, danger!

At school, Xiaoyuan, who was feeling drowsy during math class, suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if she were being watched by some predator. She instinctively glanced at the classroom clock; there were less than ten minutes until lunch break. However, her mind was no longer on the lesson; Jiuxiao's image kept flashing through her mind.

"Madoka, what's wrong?" Sayaka Miki, sitting next to her, asked softly, looking at her with concern.

Madoka Kaname snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well last night and I'm a little tired."

Sayaka Miki frowned, clearly not believing her explanation. She glanced at the teacher explaining complex formulas on the podium and said in a low voice, "Hang in there a little longer, we'll be taking a break soon."

During lunch break, Miki Sayaka saw Akemi Homura take two bento boxes out of her desk drawer. She initially wanted to tease Homura about being a "big eater," but after seeing Homura hand one of the bento boxes to Madoka, she couldn't sit still any longer.

"Hey, hey, hey, transfer student, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to lure my Madoka with food?" Sayaka Miki stood with her hands on her hips, her tone clearly showing her displeasure. She stared wide-eyed at Homura Akemi, then turned to look at Madoka Kaname, seemingly trying to find an answer on her face.

Kaname Madoka took the bento box somewhat awkwardly and asked softly, "What's this?"

"That guy asked me to bring this to you, saying it was 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'," Homura Akemi explained expressionlessly.

Kaname Madoka paused for a moment, then realized that "that guy" referred to Gen Kyusho. She looked down at the bento box in her hand, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

Miki Sayaka clearly realized this as well. Looking at the two identical bento boxes, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Masaka, transfer student, are you living with Jiuxiao? When did this happen? I didn't expect that guy to be so quick..." Miki Sayaka asked half-jokingly and half-probingly, while a trace of disappointment rose in her heart that she herself had not noticed.

Her voice was loud, causing Homura Akemi to frown: "Miki-san, please watch your words. That guy and I... we're just... just..." Homura Akemi stammered, unable to articulate her thoughts clearly. She wasn't sure what her relationship with Kushou was. Being strangers felt a bit awkward, but being friends felt strange. As for lovers, well, she didn't dare think about that at all; after all, he was someone Madoka cared about...

Homura Akemi turned her head away in annoyance, not wanting to think about the problem anymore. Instead, she retorted to Sayaka Miki, "Hmph, what does it have to do with you? It's none of your business anyway!"

Sayaka Miki glanced at their bento boxes and suddenly found her bread less appetizing. She pouted and muttered to herself, "It's just a bento box, what's the big deal! That guy Jiuxiao said he treated me like a brother, but he didn't even prepare a bento for me. What a jerk!" She took a bite of bread angrily, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to the bento box in Madoka Kaname's hand, feeling a pang of jealousy.

In the end, it was Sayaka-sama who misplaced her trust!

Xiaoyuan felt a little sorry for her, as she had brought her own lunchbox today. However, seeing Miki Sayaka's pitiful eyes, her heart softened, and she pushed her own lunchbox in front of Miki Sayaka.

Miki Sayaka was overjoyed, wanting nothing more than to hug Madoka and kiss her a few times. Akemi Homura's lips twitched at the sight; she wanted to shoot the blue-haired girl a few times—she was getting off too easy! She wanted Madoka's bento too!

Meanwhile, Jiu Xiao, having nothing to do, was rolling around on the bed with Bei Bei in his arms, which made the little girl complain. Unable to stand it any longer, Bei Bei finally bit Jiu Xiao's arm, which stopped his "sudden illness".

Jiu Xiao sat up and began to seriously consider making money; staying idle at home all the time wasn't a solution. Firstly, he had no capital. If he were to talk about making a huge profit with no investment, then of course it would be—selling arms. With Akemi Homura handling the procurement, the cost was zero; the only downside was the high risk of selling them…

"How about... becoming a plagiarist?" Jiu Xiao muttered to himself, a sly glint in his eyes. Having transmigrated to the world of anime, wouldn't it be a waste not to become a plagiarist? A smile played on Jiu Xiao's lips as he began to plan. He remembered reading many classic works in his previous life, whether novels, comics, or music; he could probably plagiarize a few and create a sensation in this world.

Since the world doesn't yet have those classic works, he can simply earn his first pot of gold by "borrowing" them. Although it sounds a bit unethical, as long as he doesn't get caught, it's not plagiarism! Besides, how can the work of a scholar be called plagiarism? It's called learning from others, it's called cultural dissemination! Jiu Xiao defended himself in his heart, his smile widening.

As he stroked his chin, he mentally sifted through classic works from his past life. First, he needed to choose a work that suited the style of this world—not too avant-garde, not too obscure, and ideally, something with broad public appeal.

"My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected" was pretty good, and besides, there didn't seem to be any similar works in this world, so he could totally use this opportunity to make a fortune. But when he started writing, he found that he couldn't remember the specific plot details.

Left with no other option, Jiu Xiao could only place his hopes on the system. He closed his eyes and silently prayed, "System, are you there?"

The system really didn't want to deal with this scumbag host. He was cursing it in his mind this morning, and now he was coming to ask for help—how ​​shameless! But a system is a system, and it was its duty to respond, so it coldly replied: "Host, what do you need?"

Upon hearing the system's response, Jiu Xiao immediately beamed and said in a fawning tone, "Oh, System Master, you've finally paid attention to me! I've run into a little trouble and would like to ask you for a favor. You see, I'm thinking of becoming a plagiarist, but I can't quite remember the details of those works. Could you just give me a few light novels?"

[The host's need has been detected and is within the scope of permissions. The Home Shop will immediately make the relevant items available for purchase. Please go and buy them yourself.]

After just a few words, the system went offline again, ignoring Jiu Xiao's calls. Jiu Xiao pursed his lips, cursing inwardly: This system is so inconsiderate, not even giving a detailed explanation, just coldly throwing out a store link, so aloof.

Despite her complaints, Jiu Xiao quickly opened the Home Shop interface. Sure enough, a new category called "For Plagiarists" had been added to the shop, filled with all sorts of light novels, comics, music albums, and even scripts, all at very low prices, practically free.

Jiu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately bought the entire "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected" light novel series. However, he forgot one thing: items purchased in the Home Shop could not be taken anywhere other than that small island and the system space.

Now he's truly a plagiarist; he can only copy down the light novels in the system space word by word.

P.S.: I won't go into detail about the plagiarism; just treat it as a way to make money. Of course, if you like it, I can write some related plot points or add some Easter eggs or characters to enrich the story. Feel free to leave a comment.

Chapter 153 It's too big and too soft, senior!

Seeing this, Bai Jiangzhu asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you writing? You look so serious." She leaned closer and saw that Jiu Xiao was engrossed in writing, with piles of papers on the table covered in dense handwriting.

Jiuxiao raised his head, smiled, and said mysteriously, "This is a secret weapon that can make us rich. You'll know when I finish writing it."
