Qingge is a very elegant and quiet girl. She usually does everything with a calm and collected demeanor and a faint smile on her face. But the smile she has now is clearly not a polite one, but one that comes from the heart.
"Not a lover, but a brother."
Li Qingge put away her phone, looked up, and smiled as she corrected the curious-looking Jinguji Tamamo.
Although she was just teasing her brother about his recent relationship with Zaozao when she replied to the message, she did think that Zaozao was a good match for her brother.
Zaozao comes from a well-off family, is very well-mannered, has a lively personality, and even knows a bit about anime. She should have a lot in common with her brother.
Unfortunately, her brother has now become a womanizer and a scumbag. Even though she thinks her brother is reliable and wouldn't be a heartless man, she feels embarrassed to try and matchmake Zaozao and her brother again.
"They're not even related by blood."
Seeing that Qingge denied it again, Jinguji Tamamo pouted and muttered under her breath.
Actually, she didn't know about this news. Qingge hadn't spent much time with them and hadn't told them about their sibling relationship in the dormitory.
However, in the past few days, her relationship with Qingge has progressed quite rapidly because of Qingge's brother, which is why she inadvertently learned about the true relationship between Qingge and her brother.
Of course, because she didn't know what Li Chaoge was like before, she only listened to Qingge's description of her good brother through her sister's eyes, and she really thought that Li Chaoge was very charming before, and that this "loving" brother of Qingge always had so many beautiful girls around him.
So she felt she could understand Qingge. Could there really be people in real life who would give up all sorts of good girls around them for a sister they couldn't reach?
The more she thought about it, the more she sympathized with Qingge. Faced with this fruitless unrequited love, Qingge was destined to bury her feelings deep in her heart.
"Zaozao, do you have anything else to do after class? My brother said he needs your help again. I'll talk to you first, and if you can help, I'll get back to my brother."
Li Qingge was unaware that her friend was already imagining her to be an extreme brother-complex, and she was thinking about how to explain her brother's request to Zaozao.
Hundreds of kilograms of gold... It's obvious that it must have been obtained by my brother's group of girlfriends.
However, what others don't know is that with such a large quantity, a normal person would definitely suspect that it's stolen goods or a hidden small gold mine.
Zao Zao isn't some special big shot; she's just the heir to a shrine in Japan. But these kinds of decisions aren't easy to make.
"Uh, what kind of help? Selling things again?"
Jinguji Tamamo was taken aback, and looked at Li Qingge hesitantly, whispering.
Although her family made some money through their collaboration with Qingge, if they sold most of the jewelry, they could conservatively estimate that they would get at least 100 million yen.
It's important to know that although many people visit the shrine to pray for blessings every year, the shrine doesn't actually make that much money. The roof repair alone costs millions of yen. Considering all the expenses, the shrine doesn't actually earn that much. One hundred million yen is a lot. Her grandfather praised her for being smart and said that she would definitely be able to carry on the shrine's legacy.
However, Jinguji Tamamo still felt something was off. She was just here to study and pursue her dreams, so why was she talking business with her roommate's brother?
"Hmm... a commission worth several hundred million?"
After thinking about the mansion and the value of over several hundred kilograms of gold, Li Qingge said...
"Um???"
Jinguji Tamamo stared at Li Qingge in shock. "Do you know what you're saying? How did her quiet and elegant young lady suddenly become so filthy?!"
"What's wrong with Zaozao? Did I say something wrong?"
Seeing that the expression on Tamamo-no-Mae's face was a little off, Li Qingge asked in confusion.
Although she goes online and even watches videos on certain websites to learn, no one in her social circle has ever told her about these things. She also doesn't turn on the bullet comments when watching videos because the bullet comment environment is getting worse every day. So even though Qingge is already a level 6 VIP member, she still doesn't understand this meme.
"No, it's nothing. Let's talk about it after class."
Seeing Qingge looking at her with confusion, Jinguji Tamamo immediately realized that she herself had been impure.
The jewelry and antiques entrusted to us before were already valued at several hundred million, so it's normal for us to ask for several hundred million more now.
But is Qingge's brother so short of money that he has to sell things?
Although those items were indeed not easy to sell, only the cheaper ones were bought. The high-quality, high-value items required someone to fabricate some historical stories for auctions, otherwise they were difficult to sell.
"Qingge, Zaozao, what's wrong with you two?"
Sitting in front of Qingge and Jinguji Tamamo, Rose, with her short, wine-red hair, heard their commotion and turned around to ask, somewhat puzzled.
"Ahem, it's alright, it's alright. Rhodes, go to your class."
Jinguji Tamamo quickly pressed Rhodes' head back down.
It's said that only people who wear yellow glasses can see yellow in normal speech. Can she say that she misunderstood? That's impossible!
"You guys aren't forming some kind of clique behind our backs, are you?"
Isabella, who was also sitting in the front of the class in the same elective course, with her beautiful blonde hair and hot figure, turned around with a suspicious look on her face.
She recently heard about a university girls' dormitory where several girls had numerous small groups of friends. The atmosphere in that dormitory was so nice, and she didn't want it to end up like that.
The remaining Mo tide and Katya played a tower defense game while secretly eavesdropping. They had indeed noticed that Qing Ge and Zao Zao had become quite close recently, but when they asked them what was going on, they wouldn't say anything.
"No, Bella, my brother wants to travel to Japan recently and asked me if I have time. If not, he asked if I should take time off to go with him."
Seeing that they were all a little curious, Li Qingge thought it was time to talk about her brother's upcoming trip.
"Going on a trip? Isn't your brother a homebody?"
Rhodes asked curiously, "We don't know much about Qingge's brother. We've only heard some things from Qingge herself, but she's also mentioned that he likes watching anime and is into 'second-rate' stuff."
"I just like being 'second-rate,' so I guess I wouldn't count as an otaku."
After thinking for a moment, Li Qingge smiled and said that her brother was not a homebody at all. He was a good brother who would study hard and strive for his family and for his sister who was not related to him. This was different from the traditional homebody who liked to stay at home and not go out to work.
Although the girls around my brother now are all from the "two" generation, you could say they're even more "two" than a seasoned otaku.
"I'm still hesitating about whether to take time off. If I take two days off including the weekend, I should be able to have some fun. Do you want to come with me? If so, I'll talk to my brother."
Li Qingge looked at them and asked, "Just now I was hesitating whether to go play with my brother. There are so many girls around him, and even a little sister named Ying who came out of the game."
However, upon closer reflection, she realized that she didn't know the girls around her brother very well, and perhaps she could take this opportunity to learn more about them.
Will girls who seem kind and reliable in games remain innocent and virtuous in real life?
She didn't want to presume to judge others with malice, but since it concerned her brother's feelings, she felt she should be more cautious.
If they don't really like her brother that much, then she'll try to match her brother with her roommates so that her brother won't be left without anyone to take care of him in the future.
"Going on a trip to Japan? Are you going to Natsume's place? Can we experience being a shrine maiden?"
Isabella's eyes lit up; she suddenly became interested.
Taking a few days off is no big deal. She can just borrow some notes from other classmates afterward. She hasn't been to Japan yet, and the shrine maiden's clothes are so pretty. She'd love to try them on if she gets the chance!
"That's no problem, but Qingge's brother didn't say he wanted to come to my family's shrine, did he?"
Jinguji Tamamo gave Qingge a strange look. Could she be right? But surely Qingge's brother wouldn't target someone he'd only met once.
She wasn't as elegant or beautiful as the girls around Qingge's brother, nor did she seem as wealthy as them.
"I haven't decided where to go in Japan yet, but going to the Natsume Shrine should be fine."
Li Qingge glanced at the teacher on the podium below, who was frequently looking in their direction, and whispered, "We can discuss the specific issues in detail after class, but if you're coming, my brother will take care of your airfare, accommodation, and meals."
Although her brother didn't say this, given how much he dotes on her and the family's current financial situation, he definitely wouldn't let her roommate spend money.
She doesn't know how to explain to her family her brother's sudden wealth and his transformation into a womanizing scumbag. All she can say is that she won't have to worry about her brother's wedding house anymore.
"Free?!"
"Qingge, you really are a young lady!"
As soon as Qingge spoke, Isabella, Moxi, and Katya all exclaimed in surprise.
An overseas trip with all-inclusive accommodation, meals, and airfare would cost at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per person. With so many people covered, and if the food and entertainment were even better, it would exceed 100,000 yuan. Qingge, how dare you say you're just an ordinary person!
"My family is just an ordinary working-class family."
Seeing that they were talking about this again, Li Qingge had no choice but to explain it again.
My roommate always likes to gossip about her being the young lady of the Li's Cultural Group, but her family isn't that rich at all.
Although my brother could indeed start a company now.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Li Chaoge and Nian, along with their group, strolled leisurely to the nearby commercial street, chatting and laughing all the way. They didn't immediately buy rings; with so many people out together, they were bound to browse around, and something as important as buying rings would have to wait.
Y City is quite large, with many commercial areas. Although Li Chaoge had done many part-time jobs during his university years, such as handing out flyers as a mascot, working as a hotel waiter, and working as a temporary security guard at celebrity concerts, there were still many places he hadn't been to.
"Boss, there seems to be a ring toss game over there, let's go play!"
When they arrived at a park, Exusiai, who was running ahead, suddenly saw an open space surrounded by a fence. Inside, there was a bunch of things, and someone was selling plastic rings. A sign next to it said 10 rings for 10 yuan and 25 rings for 20 yuan.
"Ring toss? I want to play too!"
When Heinrich saw Exusiai run over, he quickly followed.
"Heinrich Exusiai, you lot, don't run so fast!"
Seeing Heinrich and Exusiai so excited as soon as they went outside, Li Chaoge felt a little helpless. He wondered if staying at home in the villa had driven them crazy, since they seemed quite happy playing computer games.
However, seeing that the mature and reliable Kiana beside him was also quite interested and took a few quick steps, he was somewhat speechless: "Kiana, do you want to play too?"
"Hehe, I want to try it. I saw this kind of game when I was a kid, but I didn't have money to play it back then."
Kiana touched the back of her head and smiled sheepishly.
In the past, we mainly spent money on food and drinks, so we didn't have money to spend on fun and entertainment like this. But now we don't have to worry about that anymore, because the captain has money!
"Alright, anyone else who wants to go can go, but don't be so serious and take all of their stuff."
Seeing this, Li Chaoge could only let Kiana go play, and also gave a word of advice to the other guys around him who also wanted to go play at other stalls.
For most of them, if they really wanted to play seriously, they could probably hit the target every time, since their eyesight and skills were beyond what ordinary people could match.
People set up stalls to make money, not to lose money.
Although these ring toss stalls are indeed quite profitable, and the wholesale price of those toys and dolls is very low, to some extent, the relentless pursuit of winning a toy despite failing to win is a kind of "stupidity tax," he doesn't need to argue with the other party so much. The point of going out to have fun is to have fun.
He earns his money, I enjoy my happiness. If we're really concerned about cost-effectiveness, we might as well buy the rings ourselves and play the ring toss game at home, but then there won't be any unexpected surprises.
"Thank you, Captain! Mua~!"
Kiana hugged Li Chaoge and kissed him on the cheek before giggling and running off to "crash the party" with Heinrich and the others.
Seeing Kiana give Li Chaoge a big kiss before going to play, Miyu, Megumi McQueen, Mona, and Ayanami, who also wanted to play, looked at each other but no one took the initiative to go forward.
"You two don't need to kiss anymore, go have some fun."
Seeing the women staring at him, Li Chaoge said speechlessly.
"Let's go play now!"
Blushing, Megumi McQueen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went with Miyu, Mona, and Ayanami to watch Exusiai, Heinrich, and the others perform their circling act.
This is on the street! Not to mention Megumi McQueen who just arrived here, even Monami Yu, who has already had intimate contact with Li Chaoge, would blush and feel shy. After all, not everyone is thick-skinned enough not to care about other people's opinions.
"Really."
Touching the damp spot on his face, Li Chaoge noticed the envious looks in the eyes of some passersby, shook his head, and smiled.
Kiana has become much more lively since Mei arrived. It seems he was wrong before?
Kiana's lack of energy is simply because Mei isn't around; isn't it because some irreversible things happened?
That's good, it means that he wasn't just a passerby.
Although the game is full of heart-wrenching moments, they are still safe and sound in real life.
Chapter 130. Bronya: Gale! Submit to Me! (4,000 words)
"Boss! Give me a 100-yuan ring!"
"okay!"
Ten yuan gets you ten rings, twenty yuan gets you twenty-five rings, and one hundred yuan gets you twelve-five rings. Kiana gave the vendor one hundred yuan and received so many rings that she couldn't fit them all in her two arms, so she had to quickly distribute them to the others.
"Let's all try playing ten first. I'll put the rest with the captain. If we need more, we can get more from the captain later."
"That should be enough, right? There aren't even a hundred toys here."
Heinrich looked at Kiana with a puzzled expression. There were only thirty or forty toys on the ground at most, and they didn't even need to throw them all.
The middle-aged stall owner, who had just received a hundred yuan, looked at Heinrich strangely. This little girl with a full head of white hair was quite pretty, but she didn't seem to be very bright.
Do you really think it's a one-shot deal? Although theoretically every item can be slipped onto the plastic ring, many items require them to be very close to the ring and carefully align it before they can slip it on. If they're not careful, the ring will pop off.
"Hmm...that's how it is theoretically."
Exusiai glanced at the stall owner, who seemed skeptical that they could sell everything in one go, and her lips twitched. She didn't know what to say to Heinrich for a moment.
Heinrich, that idiot, really wants to cause trouble.
