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

On the third day after Qiao Qiao arrived in Changkong City, the anniversary banquet held at the headquarters of Me Company officially began.

Qiao Qiao put on a brand-new black suit paired with designer leather boots. Thanks to the free gifts from the wealthy and high-ranking officials of Changkong City, Qiao Qiao didn't spend a penny and got several haute couture dresses for free. Her whole demeanor was completely renewed, and she exuded the heroic spirit of a business tycoon, which made many guests turn their heads to look at her.

At the banquet, the one who attracted everyone's attention the most was Raiden Mei, who wore a purple dress and looked as graceful and beautiful as a portrait of a beauty. She wore a purple off-shoulder dress, and her fair and delicate skin was as flawless as jade. Her long, straight black hair, as smooth and soft as tassels, was adorned with purple flowers and cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, creating a beautiful and spectacular sight. Her legs, clad in high heels, were fair and smooth, with full and delicate curves. These legs did not feel thin and dry like chopsticks, but rather plump and tender. They could be described as exquisitely beautiful legs, exceptionally alluring.

As soon as they arrived, Qiaoqiao and Mei walked up to Guoguang and greeted him.

When Mei reached the old man Guoguang, she let go of Qiaoqiao's arm, walked to the old man's side, hugged his arm, and said sweetly like a little girl, "Uncle Guoguang, I've missed you for so long."

Qiao Qiao was quite surprised to see this scene. He had never seen Mei act like a girl in front of others. Only when Guo Guang, who doted on her like a grandfather, did she show her soft, childlike side.

Grandpa Guoguang gently patted Mei's slender arms that were holding him with his wrinkled hands, and a warm and gentle smile appeared on his face: "Miss Mei, I've been thinking about you a lot too."

"Hello, Uncle Guoguang!"

Qiaoqiao stepped forward and greeted the elderly Guoguang.

The old man Guoguang, whose attention was drawn to Qiaoqiao, looked at the handsome and dashing Qiaoqiao in a suit and tie, and then at the beautiful and elegant Mei in a purple dress. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You two are really a perfect match. I imagine that young master Longma would be very comforted to see such a talented young master as Qiaoqiao by Mei's side."

Upon hearing Guoguang's words, Mei immediately released her arms from Guoguang and turned her head away coquettishly, saying, "Uncle Guoguang, you're talking nonsense again. How could Qiaoqiao and I be together?"

"Good, good, good!" Old Master Guoguang laughed and nodded, like a doting grandfather praising his granddaughter: "Whatever Miss says goes, this old man completely respects Miss's wishes!"

After being coaxed by Old Man Guoguang, Mei's anger immediately dissipated, and a smile appeared on her lips: "That's more like it!"

As she spoke, Mei pressed her body against Raiden Kunimitsu affectionately, like a granddaughter clinging to her grandfather.

When the over-seventy-year-old Guoguang was held by Mei, he burst into laughter as if he had just held a child.

The conversation between Guoguang and Qiaoqiao and Meiyi attracted the attention of many guests, who all gathered around Qiaoqiao and Meiyi.

"Young Master Beichen, Miss Mei, it's a pleasure to see you both at the banquet. I heard you two are officially engaged. When will you hold your wedding?"

"Yes, if you two hold a wedding, we will definitely attend to congratulate you and bring gifts to express our gratitude!"

"Hey... Young Master Beichen and Miss Mei are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Getting married and having children is just a matter of time, no need to rush!"

The guests present seemed to have accepted Qiao Qiao's identity as the young master of the Bei Chen family, and couldn't wait to celebrate their engagement and praise the two of them.

Having experienced attending the banquet for the first time, Qiaoqiao was much more at ease dealing with the VIPs than before. Standing next to Mei, they looked like a sweet and affectionate engaged couple, and she easily brushed off the VIPs' questions. The more they thought Qiaoqiao and Mei were engaged, the more it suited Qiaoqiao and Mei's wishes.

Jojo and Mei were happy that their plan to pretend to be engaged was going well, but someone in the room couldn't stand up.

Walter watched as Jojo and Mei acted like an engaged couple, their affectionate demeanor filling him with envy, jealousy, and hatred, as if he were wearing a bright green hat on his head.

That wretched Kita-shita Sake-kyu! If it weren't for you, Mei-san and the Conquest Gem would both be mine.

Thinking this, Walter was furious, but he still suppressed his anger. He couldn't afford to fall out with the young master of the Beichen family in the Far East, otherwise he and Cocolia would be the ones to suffer.

Walter picked up a glass of red wine from the table and walked towards Jojo and Mei.

Upon seeing Walter approach, the many distinguished guests who had been praising and congratulating Jojo and Mei fell silent, as if they had seen some monster and retreated.

Although both are scions of prominent families, Walter is arrogant, domineering, and willful, and no one of any standing in Changkong City dares to provoke him.

Compared to a violent person like Walter, these celebrities and wealthy people are more eager to befriend upright, brave, and helpful young people like Jojo.

The VIPs parted like water in front of Walter, who swaggered up to Jojo with a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Young Master Beichen, I heard you've already officially held your engagement ceremony with Miss Mei?"

"Haha..."

Unlike Walter, whose face was full of gloom, Jojo, holding a beautiful woman like Mei in her arms, was beaming with joy and said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Walter, it was such a pity that you couldn't be there when we got engaged."

As they spoke, Qiaoqiao and Mei exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes filled with sweetness.

JoJo, possessing the life simulator of a villain, has long since mastered the art of acting. However, Mei's ability to play a lover is in no way inferior to JoJo's. When she looks at JoJo, the affection in her eyes overflows like a river bursting its banks.

Walter watched as Jojo and Mei showed affection in front of him, completely unaware that they were deliberately pretending to be engaged to spite him, and he was burning with jealousy.

Hmph! Beichen Jiujiu, don't be so smug!

She only got there first by using her fiancé's and childhood friend's status... If it were a fair competition, I, Walter, might not lose to you!

Consumed by jealousy, Walter stared at Qiao Qiao's handsome face, gritting his teeth in hatred. But suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Young Master Beichen, I've heard that you are not only exceptionally talented in swordsmanship, but also extremely skilled in Go, even reaching a professional level."

When he heard Walter mention that Kitatsuki Sakeku was good at Go, Jojo was a little surprised. However, thanks to Mei's reminder, he had already memorized several Go manuals and was prepared for this. Therefore, he still said in a relaxed manner, "Yes, I know a little about Go."

Jojo looked at Walter with sharp eyes and said with some doubt, "Does Mr. Walter want to have a written test with me on the chessboard?"

"No, no, no... Go is a profound art, how could I possibly understand it? Playing Go with you would only be asking for trouble."

Qiao Qiao thought Walter wanted to test his Go skills to see if he was as good as Beichen Jiujiu, but to her surprise, he backed out at the last minute.

Walter was well aware that his chess skills were poor and inferior to anyone else's. If he were to play against Hokushin Sakehisa, he would only be humiliated.

But he has anti-entropy as his backing; even if he lacks chess skills, he still has the power of money!

“Young Master Beichen, I have a friend from abroad named Li Shiyuan, who, like you, is somewhat skilled in chess and would like to learn from you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a suit and glasses stepped out from behind Walter: "Young Master Beichen, I have long heard of your exceptional chess skills. I hope you can give me a chance to teach you a thing or two."

The young man spoke to Qiaoqiao with great humility and politeness, but his smile gave Qiaoqiao a feeling that he was hiding a knife.

Anyone with eyes could see that Walter had invited a foreign friend who was deliberately trying to teach Jojo a lesson.

[Walter Joyce's clone has spent a fortune hiring a foreign 9-dan Go player, intending to embarrass you on the spot and expose your identity. Will you accept the Go challenge?]

Option 1: Accept.

Option 2: Refuse.

When Qiaoqiao saw the options provided by the Good Deeds and Accumulated Merit System, she was completely stunned.

A 9-dan Go player?

Isn't this the world's top Go player?

Walter...you call this a smattering of chess skill?

Chapter 193 Identity Exposed?

Jojo knew very well that Walter No. 1 had been pursuing Mei relentlessly for a long time, thinking he had victory in his grasp. He believed that once he got engaged to Mei, he could easily win over the beauty, conquer the jewels, and take the Raiden family fortune into his pocket. But suddenly, his fiancé, Kitashita Sakehisa, appeared out of nowhere and stole his love, taking the peach from his hands. He was bound to be resentful.

From the moment of his birth, Walter was pampered by those around him because of his status as the Crown Prince of Anti-Entropy. As a result, he inevitably became arrogant and conceited, with a strong sense of self-esteem. He would never let go of Bei Chen Jiu Jiu, who was trying to steal his woman.

The foreign chess player he hired at great expense was there to test Qiao Qiao's chess skills and see if he was truly the young master of the Beichen family.

Walter looked smugly at the situation he had orchestrated, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The young master of the Beichen family has been missing for three years and has never shown his face to outsiders.

Now, however, he's at Me Company's banquet, and it just so happens that he and Cocolia are plotting to marry Raiden Mei and take over the Raiden family.

Walter didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

Although there is no concrete evidence, Walter always felt that the identity of this "Hokushin Sakehisa" was suspicious, and that he was very likely a fake that Raiden Mei hired to avoid marrying him.

If his guess is true, then this imposter of the young master of the Beichen family would absolutely not be able to defeat Li Shiyin, the Go master he specially invited.

With this in mind, Walter felt confident of victory and waited smugly for Jojo to be defeated in front of everyone and have her identity exposed.

[Does the host accept the chess game?]

Option 1: Accept.

Option 2: Refuse.

Looking at the options offered by the Good Deeds and Accumulated Merit System, Qiao Qiao hesitated.

If she chooses to play a game, Qiao Qiao, despite having mastered several chess manuals thanks to the super memory granted by the [Infinite] Imprint.

With his current skill level, he could easily win against a third-rate professional player at the second dan level, but he still couldn't beat the Go master that Walter had hired at great expense.

If she doesn't accept the challenge, Qiaoqiao's poor chess skills will be completely exposed.

At that point, let alone sneaking into Cocolia's office to steal the ledgers, the high-society figures who had previously flattered him and given him many rare treasures would likely be the first to settle scores with Jojo.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao hesitated and did not agree to the game, Walter assumed that Qiao Qiao was afraid of being exposed and dared not accept the challenge. A smug smile appeared on his lips, and he incited her with an overbearing manner, "Young Master Beichen, everyone knows that you are a Go master. How come you are not even afraid to play against an amateur player?"

As he spoke, Walter reached out and put his hand on Li Shiyin's shoulder.

Li Shiyin immediately realized what was going on and chimed in, "Yes, I am just a third-rate player with very low skill, yet you dare not play against me... Are you afraid?"

Walter and Li Shiyin's back-and-forth banter was like a comedy routine, making everyone burst into laughter. Their banter was full of provocation and mockery towards Qiao Qiao.

The prominent figures in the banquet hall did not believe Walter's one-sided account.

With Cocolia backing him up, Walter acted recklessly and committed all sorts of evil deeds, including bullying others.

Rather than Walter, who has a dark past, they are more willing to believe that Jojo, who stood up for Mei at the banquet and shocked everyone, is "Hokushin Sake-kyu" himself.

Seeing that Young Master Beichen had not yet agreed to the match, they began to feel uneasy. After all, they had given Qiaoqiao many priceless gifts in order to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

If, as Walter claims, this Beichen Jiujiu is an imposter, then they will suffer huge financial losses.

If word gets out that a group of celebrities and powerful figures were led by the nose by a swindler, that would be a great disgrace!

"Why won't Young Master Beichen accept the game? Is he really afraid to play against someone?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The young master of the Beichen family is most famous for his unparalleled swordsmanship and chess skills. He can be described as 'well-rounded in both literature and martial arts.' He once defeated many Go masters in the Far East. How could he be afraid of a third-rate player?"

"Yes! That's right! Young Master Beichen has absolutely no chance of losing!"

The celebrities and dignitaries around them were more willing to believe Jojo, who had previously spoken up for Mei, than the notorious Walter. However, all their words reached Jojo's ears.

If Qiao Qiao were to back down and avoid the game at this moment, it would be tantamount to admitting that her chess skills were not up to par and that she was not a true "Beichen Jiujiu".

Seeing that Qiao Qiao's identity was at risk of being exposed, Mei, who was wearing a purple dress, stretched out her slender, smooth, and fair fingers and grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm. She whispered in his ear, "Qiao Qiao, you have done enough for me. Don't accept the challenge against Li Shiyin."

“If you lose, those high-society figures will definitely not let you off the hook.” Mei said with a worried expression, “You should leave quickly. I asked you to impersonate Beichen Jiujiu, and I will take responsibility for the consequences.”

Upon hearing Mei's words, Qiaoqiao, who was unsure whether to accept or reject the game, instantly regained her composure.

If Qiaoqiao refuses the challenge, not only will she be disgraced for pretending to be Beichen Jiujiu, but Mei's plan to rescue Raiden Ryoma will also fail.

From now on, Mei will not only have to bear the title of "liar's daughter," but she herself may also be sued and taken to court, following in the footsteps of Raiden Ryoma.

Now, for Qiaoqiao, according to Mei, pushing all the responsibility onto her and leaving is the smart choice to protect herself.

But... can this really be considered a good deed?

If one cannot even protect a woman in distress and only thinks about protecting oneself, isn't that a kind of cold-blooded evil?

In Qiaoqiao's opinion, only by stepping forward at this moment to protect Mei can it be considered a good deed.

Seeing that Qiaoqiao dared not accept the challenge and hid behind Mei, Walter deliberately mocked him, saying, "The young master of the Beichen family can only hide behind women. Is that all you've got?"
