My anime girlfriend has come into my life

Exusiai immediately protested her innocence, arguing that arresting criminals requires evidence, and how could the doctor convict them without distinguishing right from wrong?

"Do you expect me to wait until you cause trouble before I speak up? Don't even think about it. I know you inside and out."

Li Chaoge glanced at Exusiai, Nian, and the others, including Black, Kiana, and Heinrich, and said, "You guys better not mess around. Behave yourselves today."

Today he's preparing to move out of this villa and into a bigger house, and he certainly doesn't want to suddenly blow up this villa and have to pay compensation.

Compared to Exusiai Black, Heinrich and Kiana are actually quite well-behaved, just a bit too lively. However, it's still good to keep them in check. After all, sometimes it's not that they want to cause trouble, but rather that they're being misled by those around them.

Bronya, who had transformed back into her Herrscher of Reason form at the dining table, looked up at Li Chaoge, who was staring at her, and gave him a silent smile by curling the corner of her mouth with her index finger.

Stirring up trouble? She never stirs up trouble, she only messes with the captain's... mentality.

Chapter 127. The Commander is Going on a Long Trip?! (4,000 words)

After being instructed by Li Chaoge, Exusiai and the others behaved themselves considerably and stopped trying to cause a scene. Breakfast ended in a relatively peaceful atmosphere.

Although it will be noon in two hours, it should still be considered breakfast.

"Master, is today's itinerary to look at houses and order a custom-made ring?"

After cleaning up the dining table and kitchen with Seele and the others, Belfast approached Li Chaoge and asked him a question.

"Yes, this villa is currently rented temporarily. Although the Dust Song Pot can accommodate enough rooms, we also need to have a sufficiently large place to live outside, since many more people will be coming in the future."

Li Chaoge nodded and said that if it was just for living, any house would be enough. However, they would definitely be coming and going, and it was impossible for them to stay in the Chenge Pot all the time.

With their larger area of ​​activity, they are also more likely to be seen. It would be embarrassing if so many people were crammed into a small house and a passerby reported it as a pyramid scheme.

Belfast, do you have any suggestions?

"Given our capabilities, Miss Bronya and I, money isn't the key issue. The key issue is that we don't have a suitable channel to acquire fiefdoms, and we can't obtain private estates either."

After a moment's thought, Belfast said that she had actually checked and there were no private estates in this country, at least not on the surface.

If the commander's current situation were revealed, it would naturally be possible to obtain it, but the commander didn't seem to like her and didn't mention it.

The commander didn't want to reveal her identity, nor did she want to acquire large tracts of land abroad. She didn't know how to solve the problem for the time being.

It would be difficult to obtain sufficient benefits through negotiation if one did not demonstrate their abilities. However, she understood the Commander's thoughts. Whether as an ordinary person or as the Commander of the port, the Commander had never liked getting involved in politics.

"Uh, a fiefdom? I don't want to buy such a big place, I just want to buy a bigger house, bigger than a regular villa, like one with some gardens."

Li Chaoge was taken aback and immediately explained.

"The houses the owner mentioned are quite large and in good locations, but they don't really meet our needs. Because houses for sale normally don't have that many rooms, and it would be difficult for the owner to find them without relevant channels."

Belfast understood what Li Chaoge meant, but still shook her head.

In reality, most people don't need that many rooms. A room for ten or so people is already considered a lot. However, there are already more than twenty people here, and there will be more in the future. Therefore, the formal housing purchase channels cannot solve their housing needs.

"So... what are everyone's thoughts?"

Unexpectedly, Li Chaoge on this floor was also helpless and could only look to the others.

The number of people is indeed a big issue. In China, how many ordinary people would buy a house with dozens of rooms? If no one buys it, it won't be built. He just thought that having money could solve the problem.

Yes, if you have enough money, you can buy things, but it's clear that their money comes from the stock market. They don't have any real business foundation or influence in terms of connections.

While this allowed him to live a peaceful life without having to deal with those seasoned veterans of society, it also meant he couldn't enjoy certain exclusive circles.

"This is indeed a bit difficult..."

Raiden Mei wasn't very familiar with the situation here, but she hadn't really thought about housing before, and for a moment, she, like Belfast, couldn't think of a good solution.

It's not that they really can't come up with a solution; after all, if they really wanted to do it, they could easily sweep through it. But if they did, they would have to take responsibility for the consequences of disrupting the world's order. They are just passersby in this world, and they will eventually have to leave.

They're only staying here now because Li Chaoge is still here. When the time is right, they and Li Chaoge will leave. They've arbitrarily changed the situation and left a mess. When they leave, a world war might break out.

The newcomers, Elena and Selena, didn't notice either. This kind of thing wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't insignificant either; they had never paid attention to it before.

Even in the apocalypse, normal people are thinking about food, drink, and survival. Who would specifically consider housing issues, whether they can afford to buy one, or whether they can afford to pay the mortgage?

"Why don't you just ask your sister's friend, Captain?"

Bronya glanced at Li Chaoge and the others, and seeing that none of them had any useful ideas, she took the initiative to speak.

"...Go to them again? Besides, they're international students from Japan, what channels do they have here?"

Li Chaoge hesitated and said that he had been in contact with Qingge's friend, Jinguji Tamamo, occasionally these past few days because the other party wanted to tell him about the sale of those jewelry and antiques.

However, he and the other person didn't talk much beyond these things. Although the other person was quite cute, if it were in the past, he might have had some ulterior motives.

But unfortunately, he's now too busy to handle all the girls around him, let alone have the time or inclination to pursue new ones.

"It wouldn't hurt to ask, but if the captain really finds a suitable channel to buy them, we probably don't have enough funds right now. Those villas and gardens are priced in the hundreds of millions."

Bronya said expressionlessly, "That Jinguji Tamamo probably doesn't have any connections. After all, the shrine she mainly runs is in Japan, and the connections she has can only help sell some jewelry and antiques at most. She can't help with anything else."

However, Qingge has a roommate from a well-off family who should be able to help her make contact with relevant channels.

"Are you still short of money?"

When this was mentioned, "Areye" looked at them with some surprise.

With their skills, robbing someone would be enough for them; they wouldn't be short of money.

She found it absurd that they were discussing how to buy a house so seriously.

Even though she could sense that many of them possessed immense power, they all obediently followed the rules of ordinary people in this world.

While it's not unreasonable to follow the rules under this Master's guidance.

“We haven’t been here long, and jewelry isn’t a hard currency, so we really don’t have enough funds.”

In this regard, Exusiai, as the second person to arrive here, can provide an explanation.

Judging from the prices around the doctoral students, the money they earned from selling jewelry through others was enough for their daily expenses. It would be enough for a hundred people, let alone a dozen or so, to eat and drink comfortably for a long time.

But compared to the relatively inexpensive food here, the housing prices are outrageous.

It's unbelievable that an ordinary person has to work for so many years to afford a house. Even in Lungmen, the housing prices aren't that outrageous. Who would take out a loan for decades just to live in a house? Wouldn't it be better to use that money to eat, drink, and buy some good equipment?

Even if the world is relatively peaceful and there aren't life-or-death battles everywhere, it's still absurd.

Anyway, she thinks Exusiai is ridiculous, which is why the Doctor used to complain that life was hopeless even in such a peaceful world.

"Ok."

"Aileen" was actually quite puzzled by their obedient thinking about making money and buying a house, but in order to maintain her persona, she chose to be a quiet and beautiful girl.

Last night, that idiot Ereshkigal did nothing after the Master got drunk. She was so stupid. But it's okay, she'll have the whole day to herself today.

She will definitely find an opportunity to act, unlike that idiot Ereshkigal who hesitates and can only watch other people and their Master being intimate.

"Don't worry about the money. Jewelry isn't suitable for large-scale sales, so gold should be easier to sell, right?"

Belfast smiled and took a gold bar from the ship's storage space.

"Gold? Belfast, did you bring gold bars from over there specifically?"

Li Chaoge took it and looked at the gold bar in his palm with some surprise.

Gold has a high density; even a small gold bar can be quite heavy.

"Before coming here, I obtained approval from His Majesty and took some from the national treasury. However, these have all been recast and polished, and since they are not marked, they should be easier to sell."

Belfast nodded and smiled, "Once we have enough capital from the sale, we won't have to worry about money anymore. We can just trade stocks occasionally."

She was good at stock trading, but without capital, it would take a long time to earn enough money starting from scratch. That's why she asked Her Majesty Elizabeth for some gold bars as initial capital.

Although she didn't know when she would be summoned at first, she was just being prepared, and it was clear that her precautionary actions were correct.

Otherwise, given how quickly they were summoned, there wouldn't be enough time to collect the gold bars.

"Take it from the national treasury..."

Li Chaoge's lips twitched; he had thought Belfast was asking her sister Edinburgh for it.

Belfast is a perfect maid who excels at housework and also a stock trader, while her sister Edinburgh is a scatterbrain, though Edinburgh has a habit of hoarding a secret stash of gold.

However, compared to Edinburgh's treasury or the royal flagship, Queen Elizabeth was far wealthier.

Although he didn't swear an oath with Elizabeth, and only married Belfast, Illustrious, George V, and Hood in the Royal Navy, it's quite normal for him to be kept by them as their commander.

After all, in Azur Lane, the fleets of all the major factions together have hundreds of ships, which is quite outrageous even if they are just ship girls.

If it weren't for the Sirens, the obvious villains, keeping him in check, he probably could have achieved the unification of humanity in the world of Azur Lane.

"Yes, considering fuel and related supplies, I only have one ton of gold bars in my ship's equipment space, but that should be enough."

Belfast,

"A ton of gold?!"

Despite being a racehorse girl, Miyu and Mejiro McQueen, who in some ways are the most normal people, exclaimed in surprise.

She didn't quite understand what everyone was talking about regarding rice baths, but she did understand what a ton of gold meant. That's billions of Japanese yen! That's way too much!

Even Megumi McQueen was shocked by this one ton of gold bars. One ton of gold bars! This is a hard currency that is easy to sell, equivalent to billions of Japanese yen in liquid funds.

Her family was just an ordinary prominent family, not a powerful and wealthy tycoon. Even if their net worth was in the billions, it would still surprise her, let alone their liquid assets.

"Then we still need their help with the sale. Even if there are no markings, these are clearly standard-processed gold pieces, and most people wouldn't dare to buy them indiscriminately."

Knowing how Rhodes Island exploited its operators to the point of working 996, Platinum wasn't too surprised. He glanced at the unmarked gold bars in Lee Joon's hand and said indifferently.

Of those present, she was probably the only one who knew about these unspoken rules; how could the others possibly know such things?

Although Arknights and this world are very different, some things have nothing to do with the worldview and are purely about interests.

A small amount of unidentified goods might be ingested, but a large amount...

Yes, they'll probably be reported, because the amount is so large that the other party might be worried about getting into big trouble and wouldn't dare to eat it.

Like before, she was exploited to the point where she wanted to run away at any time but had no way to do so. However, after the Doctor came, those old guys in the Rhodes Island Unarmored Alliance didn't dare to utter a word when she ran away to Rhodes Island.

People are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, and she was no exception. When she said no, the doctor would continue to bully her, and when the doctor said no, she would continue to bully him.

"I'll contact my sister later. I'll talk to Qingge about this first."

Li Chaoge was a little troubled. It seemed that the money problem was about to be completely solved. If he could sell this batch of gold, then with Bronya and Belfast's ability to navigate the stock market, they could go to foreign stock markets and make a killing.

However, as Bai Jin said, such a large amount of gold is beyond the capacity of ordinary people to consume. It is unknown whether Jinguji Tamamo can help with this task, and whether the other party will suspect his motives.

But Bronya is right, let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we can try another method.

He doesn't actually need to worry too much. He's currently considering housing and money because he doesn't want to act recklessly with his power, nor does he want to get involved in any conflicts of interest. It's not that he's really afraid of anything.

“We can also provide transportation services, so the other party won’t have any worries,” Belfast reminded with a smile. “Actually, a ton of gold is nothing. Even if the other party can’t consume that much, it doesn’t matter. The master can take the opportunity to visit Japan.”

"Hmm? Going abroad to Japan for fun?"

Li Chaoge suddenly felt a little tempted. He had never been abroad, or even left his province.

Although travel doesn't require much money, and one can even travel on a budget without considering too many experiences, the pressure of life makes him completely abandon that idea.

Now that he has a girlfriend, a house, and a bunch of wives, it would be nice for him to go and see the sights of other places.

Come to think of it, Qingge has never been abroad before, so he could take her there for a trip.

If possible, he would even like to take his dad and Qingge's mom on a trip, but they probably wouldn't be able to handle the unfamiliar environment of a foreign country. It would be better for them to take their annual leave and travel domestically during their holidays.

"Is the boss going to take us out for fun?"

"The commander is going on a long trip?!"

Exia and Heinrich reacted the most directly, getting excited as soon as they heard they were going out to play.

Lilith and Hei hope glanced at the two of them and simultaneously pursed their lips. They wouldn't be so happy about something like this.

"I just have this idea, but I haven't decided when to go yet."

Li Chaoge smiled and nodded. Anyway, he didn't have many classes now, so it seemed pretty good to work on his graduation project while traveling with his wives.

Not just Japan, but also countries like Great Britain and the United States are worth visiting.

Hot springs, skiing, scuba diving, skydiving—he wanted to try many things with them that he had thought about but never done before.

P.S.: That skiing video they released a while ago was so good! When will Daigo and Kiana become a couple?! Why is the author of this book updating so slowly?!

I want Shuangqi, Alicia, Snake Snake Treasure Hunt, I want Yixian Zhao and Yingrui, I want Hutao, Yun Jin, Xiaogong Keqing, Ganyu, I want Luo Tianyi, Le Zhengling, I want Sigma's daughter, I want 416 Little Monster, M4 Little Princess...

Chapter 128. Are Raiden Mei and Raiden Movie Sisters? (4000 words)

Although Belfast and the others told them that buying a super mansion big enough for dozens of people was unrealistic, they still had to go out, since they hadn't yet bought the rings they had promised to buy.

Li Chaoge told everyone to change their clothes. They didn't have to be completely covered up, but they had to be presentable. They couldn't act like they were at home when they were out.
