People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

"This was a gift from Raiden Mei, a woman of both beauty and wisdom." JoJo happily accepted the Homu doll, cradling it in her arms and stroking it carefully, a smile playing on her lips. "I'll cherish it dearly..."

Chapter 170 The Imprint of "Infinity"

Jojo agrees to play Mei's fiancé at the ME Group party, helping him escape the marriage proposals of Cocolia and the Walter clone. In return, he receives a new cell phone for easy secret communication and a Houmu doll as a thank-you gift.

After Jojo agreed to play her fiancé, Mei felt relieved. She not only bought some gifts for Jojo, but also prepared gifts for Theresa and Himeko as a thank you for taking her in at St. Freya.

Qiaoqiao, carrying the bags and purses Mei had bought, followed behind her as they left the mall and got into a black sedan.

Mei and Qiaoqiao sat in the back seat of the car. The driver, who seemed to be from the Raiden family, was holding the steering wheel and staring silently at the road ahead.

In the back seat of the car, Mei took out a stack of papers and handed them to Jojo, saying, "Jojo, this is the basic information of 'Hokushin Sake-kyu', which is the identity information you will have from now on."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao casually flipped through Bei Chen Jiu Jiu's information a couple of times before putting it into the shopping bag.

Qiao Qiao now possesses the "Infinite" imprint of Möbius, granting him the extraordinary ability of infinite wisdom. His learning and memory abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, allowing him to remember everything he sees. Although he appeared to have only casually glanced through the information, he had actually used the talent granted by the imprint to memorize all the basic information about 'Beichen Jiujiu'.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao only glanced at the document perfunctorily, Mei felt very uncomfortable. She knew that whether Qiao Qiao could successfully play the role of her fiancé was related to whether Raiden Ryoma could regain his freedom and the rise and fall of the Raiden family.

This information about "Beichen Jiujiu" was compiled by Mei herself after collecting information from various sources.

Mei had put so much effort into compiling this text, but Qiaoqiao only glanced at it before putting it down, which naturally made her feel very down.

"Qiaoqiao, this is information I prepared carefully. If you don't memorize it well, what if you give yourself away when you're pretending to be my fiancé?"

Upon hearing Mei's question, Qiaoqiao was slightly taken aback. She then realized that she had just used "quantum reading" to memorize the information after a single glance and then put it away. In Mei's eyes, this must have been a very careless and even perfunctory act.

Qiaoqiao smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I've memorized all the contents of this document."

Hearing Qiao Qiao confidently claim that he had memorized all the information after just one glance, Mei dared not believe him easily.

She felt that Qiaoqiao's words sounded familiar.

In the past, when Mei urged Kiana to study, Kiana would always play games while saying that she had already memorized the knowledge.

But in every exam, except for the last combat test, she was always at the bottom of the class.

“Qiaoqiao, this matter of playing my fiancé concerns my father and the entire family…” Mei looked at Qiaoqiao with a solemn expression: “I’ve entrusted my fate to you, and I’m serious about what I’ve said. You can’t just brush me off.”

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao knew that Mei did not believe that Qiaoqiao had the ability to remember everything she saw.

But Qiaoqiao was in no hurry to defend herself. Since Mei didn't believe that anyone could remember all the information after just one glance, Qiaoqiao could only prove her ability with her actions.

The infinite wisdom imprinted by Möbius's "infinite" is not just empty talk.

Qiao Qiao handed the information about "Beichen Jiujiu" to Mei Yi, and said with a slight smile, "Look at this information. Ask me what's on it. If I can't type it out, you can punish me as you please."

Mei blinked in surprise upon hearing this.

Mei's learning ability and memory, while not as good as Bronya's, could still be considered "genius-level." She had never seen anyone with such an outstanding memory; she could memorize all the contents of this stack of documents after just a few glances.

But Qiaoqiao spoke with such confidence, and even offered to let Mei test it, which made Mei's thoughts waver. Curious, she took the information from Qiaoqiao's hand, intending to ask a few questions to see if Qiaoqiao really had the ability to remember everything she saw.

Mei asked a few questions about "Beichen Jiujiu" based on the information in the document.

To Mei's surprise, Qiaoqiao actually memorized all the contents of the information after only one glance, and answered Mei's questions fluently.

After answering the three questions about height, hobbies, and life experiences, Qiaoqiao took back the "Beichen Jiujiu" information from Mei's hand, a smug smile on her lips: "See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Mei looked at Jojo with astonishment and said, "Jojo, your learning ability and memory are simply amazing. I bet even Bronya can't compare to you."

Hearing Mei's heartfelt praise, Qiao Qiao smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but in reality, she was extremely pleased with herself.

Bronya possesses the core of the Herrscher of Reason and has 300,000 thoughts, which is another matter entirely.

Bronya, who is currently a B-rank Valkyrie, is indeed far more intelligent than her peers, but compared to Jojo, who has mastered the "Infinity" Crest, she is still far behind.

Knowing that Qiaoqiao's mental abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, Mei's gaze immediately turned strange, and she took out another chess manual and handed it to Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao was initially gloating over her successful show-off, but upon seeing the chess score, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Mei, why did you give me the chess manual?"

"It's quite a coincidence... My deceased fiancé, 'Hokushin Sakehisa,' also had the same photographic memory as you, and he was also a master of Go in the Far East."

Mei was overjoyed to see that Jojo was exceptionally intelligent. She knew that not everyone had the ability to remember everything they saw. She never expected that the helper she had reluctantly found, Jojo, would have so many similarities to her fiancé, Kita-shita Jojo. Not only were they the right age and appearance, but they also had the talent of remembering everything they saw.

Now... no matter how cunning Cocolia is, she probably won't be able to see through Jojo's disguise.

"Qiaoqiao, since you have such a great learning ability, you should learn Go properly to avoid revealing any weaknesses later."

When Qiaoqiao looked at the Go game record Mei gave her, her face immediately darkened. You see, Go is arguably the game that tests human intelligence the most. The possible changes in the situation on the board are more numerous than the number of atoms in the entire universe.

Although Jojo possesses the mark of "infinity" and his intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary people, he is not the artificial intelligence "AlphaGo".

Even if Qiaoqiao could memorize the rules of Go and the game records at a glance, she still couldn't transform from a complete novice to a "Go master" in a short period of time.

Holding the chess manual Mei gave him, Qiao Qiao felt very complicated. He thought it was asking too much of him to become a Go master in such a short time.

But he had already promised Mei that he would play the role of "Hokushin Sakehisa" well, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Mei saw the worry in Qiao Qiao's face and smiled as she said, "Don't worry, Qiao Qiao. Although I want you to learn about Go, it's just for show."

"You just need to remember the rules and some technical terms. Cocolia and Walter don't understand Go, so they can't actually play a game with you to test you."

Hearing Mei's words, Qiao Qiao finally felt relieved. She couldn't actually play against a master, but memorizing the moves was a piece of cake for her.

“Okay.” Qiaoqiao confidently put the chess score into the shopping bag: “I will definitely memorize this chess score.”

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Mei was immediately filled with confidence. She was truly grateful that she had found such a reliable person as Qiao Qiao to pretend to be her fiancé.

She was initially worried that Qiao Qiao's disguise might be exposed by the cunning Cocolia, but now it seems that Qiao Qiao has too many similarities with the legendary "Beichen Jiujiu".

At least in terms of appearance and ability, the two are highly compatible.

The next thing to pay attention to is your attire.

Mei glanced at Qiao Qiao's outfit: a student suit paired with long trousers. Although it suited Qiao Qiao's age and status, it didn't give him the air of a young master from a prestigious family.

If Qiaoqiao were to attend the ME Group's gala dressed like this, she'd probably be kicked out by the bodyguards before she even got inside.

"Qiaoqiao, this outfit isn't really suitable for the company party. Tomorrow I'll take you to a tailor shop to buy a suit, and we can take a picture together."

Mei's idea was to take a picture with Jojo before attending the group's party to let the family know that her fiancé was still alive. That way, the Raiden family would stop pressuring her to marry Walter.

When Qiaoqiao heard Mei complain about her current outfit, she frowned slightly, looked at the suit issued by the school, and scratched her head in confusion.

Am I really that badly dressed?

Chapter 171 Himeko: Qiaoqiao, don't leave your sister

A luxury car drove to St. Freya's parking lot, and then the back door opened. Jojo got out of the car alone, while Mei stayed in the car.

JoJo and Mei must not let Kiana and Bronya know that they are pretending to be engaged.

Just like how Jojo and Mei can't go out together, it's best for them to separate when they return to the dormitory, otherwise it would be hard to explain if Kiana and Bronya became suspicious.

Qiaoqiao watched as the black sedan closed its door and slowly drove out of her sight. Without saying goodbye to Mei, she turned around and looked for her bicycle. After all, the two of them would be meeting in the dormitory soon, so there was no need for a special farewell.

The thought that she would have to meet Mei secretly like today, hiding it from Kiana and Bronya, made Jojo feel very troubled.

But once things are exposed, Kiana will definitely not let JoJo off the hook.

For the sake of her own life, Qiaoqiao had no choice but to keep her impersonation of Mei's fiancé a secret.

Qiaoqiao rode her bicycle back to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the entrance hall, she saw Jizi, as usual, drunk after getting off work, lying on the sofa with her clothes in disarray.

Seeing the beer bottles scattered all over the floor, Qiao Qiao sighed softly and, as usual, went over to tidy up the bottles and cans on the table.

Upon seeing Qiaoqiao's arrival, Himeko's face was flushed from the alcohol, and she said sweetly, "Qiaoqiao, welcome back. Would you like to eat first... take a bath first... or...?"

"I'd better clean up the mess you left behind first."

Qiaoqiao knew that Jizi was acting crazy again because of her drunkenness, so she didn't pay much attention to what Jizi was saying. She casually cleaned up all the bottles on the table and put them into a plastic bag.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 50 crystals.]

Seeing the crystal she obtained from cleaning up the wine bottles, Qiao Qiao smiled slightly.

When Ji Zi saw Qiao Qiao tidy up the table she had just messed up, she smiled sweetly and said, "Qiao Qiao, you are so wonderful. Being able to live with you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Qiaoqiao skillfully tied up the plastic bag full of wine bottles. Hearing Ji Zi's sweet words, she shook her head with a complicated expression.

If it were Qiaoqiao, and she encountered a shrew who was like a slave, working hard without complaint and willing to do anything for herself, she would also do everything she could to keep her by her side.

Looking at Himeko's increasingly decadent state, Qiaoqiao sighed with a complicated expression and said, "Himeko-neechan, I'm not your father or mother. How can I stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life?"

Although Himeko can maintain her teacher's demeanor at school, once she's at home, she's completely dependent on Jojo's care.

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao say that she would leave her one day, Ji Zi immediately sat up from the sofa, reached out and hugged Qiaoqiao's waist, and drunkenly said, "Qiaoqiao, if you leave, who will take care of me!"

In the past, Himeko would never have imagined that she would become so dependent on a boy who was younger than her.

Since meeting Qiaoqiao, Himeko has been taken care of by Qiaoqiao in every aspect of her daily life. Although she is older than Qiaoqiao, in life, Qiaoqiao is more like a mature adult, while Himeko is more like a child who cannot live without her parents' care.

Himeko is now so used to being served by Jojo that she can't imagine living independently without Jojo.

Himeko clung tightly to Qiaoqiao, unwilling to let go.

"Himeko-neechan, you've drunk way too much!"

Qiaoqiao put down the shopping bag in her hand and tried to push away the drunk Himeko.

"No! I will never let Qiaoqiao escape from me!"

Himeko was completely drunk and couldn't even stand up, but she still clung to Qiaoqiao like a leech, refusing to let go. Her gaze wandered around the room and landed on the shopping bag that Qiaoqiao had just put down, where she discovered that it contained a pink Houmu doll.

Upon seeing the girly dolls in Qiaoqiao's shopping bag, Himeko hugged Qiaoqiao even tighter.

"Qiaoqiao, why do you have a girl's doll on you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao shuddered and quickly broke free from Himeko's bear hug, hiding the Houmu doll behind her back and retreating in fear.

"This is... a doll I bought myself!"

Hearing Qiaoqiao's explanation, Ji Zi simply didn't believe it. Her body, numb from the alcohol, couldn't stand up, so she could only lie on the sofa, stretching and yawning, her face flushed, and slowly approached Qiaoqiao like a kitten.

“Only girls would like this kind of pink doll.” Himeko stared at Qiaoqiao with burning eyes and said, “You’re back so late, did you go on a date with a girl?”

Qiao Qiao's eyes darted away, avoiding Himeko's sharp gaze. He had promised Mei that he would keep their pretense of being engaged a secret, and if he revealed this secret to Himeko now, she would definitely not agree to her precious younger brother participating in the struggle between Mei and Anti-Entropy.

"Himeko-neechan, don't overthink it! It's perfectly normal for boys to like pink plush toys these days!"

Upon hearing this, Himeko looked at Qiaoqiao with suspicion. Although she was drinking, the thought of her beloved younger brother possibly being entangled with another woman made her much more sober. She had lived with Qiaoqiao for three years and had never heard of him liking Houmu dolls, especially not the girly pink kind.
