What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

"Kasa will definitely spawn next to Kasa, but it's a pity that Kasa's long legs are still a bit hard to accept. I bought it, but the legs are too long and it's not nice. I still prefer RG."

"Damn, this is the Chinese model Xiaoxing Xingyun. Physical stores are more honest; they just list the price they're selling at. I'm talking about 248. Is that really the selling price? Whatever, I can just buy any in-stock item for around 120. I already didn't want it anymore, so I'm selling it."

"Yoshi, classic MG Kasha is shedding feathers. With its wings spread, even the most trendy guys love it. Although I love it too, I'm not a trendy guy, cough cough. My unpainted PG Kasha is shedding feathers and I haven't even started applying decals yet. Should I go back and tidy it up? But I just said I was going to refurbish Kasha..."

"MG Exia... I'm so pissed off by BANDAI! They still haven't released a 2.0 version of the MG skeleton, nor an MGEX. BYD is shamelessly releasing the MG White Justice Goddess. Besides the PG, is there any other Exia build that's the best overall? Absolutely none. Damn it, although this cabinet-made Exia does look nice..."

He walked and stopped along the way, muttering to himself that he was entertaining himself. It was a bit silly for an adult to do this, but surrounded by a bunch of anime fans, he seemed to fit in.

By the way, isn't the concentration of foreigners at today's anime convention a bit too high? Zhao Si could see two obviously foreign men wandering around in various shops every time he looked up or down, acting like they'd never seen the world before. Their families were able to keep up at first, but later they just ended up chatting together.

There was also a girl who looked quite young, but her wig-making skills were top-notch. Her purple hair was indistinguishable from real hair. She seemed to be following my movements, going to whichever store I went to...

["What if next time I'm making model kits, there's a 150cm tall, 41kg, petite, long-haired rich female model kit enthusiast who likes 00, and has a faint X20 fragrance on her, who will proactively give me Bandai Disassembler Machine Nu Gundam Sazabi Mark Rabbit as gifts, and then blush and say to me, 'Your model kits are so good, can we go out and make model kits together for the rest of our lives?'"]

Where did this idea come from? It's from under the strange toad.

A figure flashed past in the distance, but Zhao Si didn't pay attention. He shook his head, dismissing what wasn't his own lower body from his mind.

While intently looking at the exhibits, I kept taking pictures with my phone, then casually sent the photos to the group chat. Amidst the group members' cries of "It's going to be like a PowerPoint presentation!", I was forced to take hundreds of photos.

"Group owner, why don't you take pictures of the cosplayers on the street? Don't they have little pigtails?!"

A group member sent a sincere greeting, and Zhao Si immediately typed in pinyin at high speed with one thumb:

"I haven't even bought a plastic doll, why would I even glance at a cosplayer?"

He added a middle finger gesture, clicked send, and suddenly felt something was off. Zhao Si added:

"If it's the kind of pairing that creates couples, then we could film it, like Amurosha, Kamille, Kira Lacus, Athrun and Cagalli, Kira Athrun, Luna Asuka, and the like."

Just as he finished typing, Zhao Si saw a beautiful sight, and his eyes lit up:

"Damn! There's an Exusiai up ahead, I have to attack immediately!"

Zhao Si immediately rushed to the Exia cosplayer and lined up to take a photo with her. In front of him were two men who looked like middle-aged men.

Wait, even though 00 is an old anime from 07, it's not so obscure that only older men would go up to take photos with it.

"These two middle-aged men, one with white hair and the other with brown hair, didn't I see them wandering around in the physical store before?"

Zhao Si glanced at the two uncles carrying three or four bags of models, some of which even included the original RG 2.0 from a physical store. He had checked the price when he was browsing the physical store earlier, and wow, it was 299, almost ten thousand.

However, even the MG Master Gundam can be priced at 399, so the RGU's price actually seems quite reasonable, doesn't it? (Laughs)

After taking the photos, the two men were dragged away by their wives. Wow, they're both henpecked. Luckily, they don't talk about marriage and they're single, so they don't have to worry about anyone else.

"Before I died, I kept muttering about whether Bandai could fix that piece of crap Vulcan cannon in the reissue. It looked like it was being shrunk into the body. But middle-aged men who buy sculpted ...

Zhao Si stood there, silently muttering to himself, then he seemed to sense that something was wrong:

"Huh? Aren't I still alive?"

Before Zhao Si could think it through, his attention was immediately drawn to the Exia cosplayer when it was his turn in line. After taking a photo with the front-facing camera, he had to post a full-body shot, but since he was out alone, Zhao Si had no one to help him take the picture.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Si caught sight of a little girl who seemed to always be in his field of vision. Just as he turned around and bumped into her, seeing that she was two or three meters away, he called out to her:

"Excuse me, could you please take a picture for me?"

"Huh? Who...me, me? I'm here to take your picture? Really?"

Zhao Si noticed that the purple-haired girl in casual clothes seemed somewhat shy and... excited?

It feels like being exposed after stalking someone. Ugh, what a fantasy! What kind of person would stalk a salaryman so desperately? Are they living in a delusion?

Suddenly, a surge of disgust welled up inside Zhao Si, making him want to run away. However, when dealing with people offline, he couldn't just start a fight because he didn't like them; otherwise, he would be arrested and sent to jail for disturbing the peace.

Although she looked somewhat familiar, Zhao Si really wanted to say something like "I've seen this girl before" to make a joke, but since she was just a passerby, he decided to behave himself to avoid being posted on Xiaohongshu.

"Uh, if it's inconvenient, I'll find someone else. I'm really sorry to bother you."

When traveling, one should remain humble to avoid attracting misfortune and spending a day in the toilet.

"No, no, no! I can do it!"

The girl (whom Zhao Si thought was wearing a purple wig) immediately took the phone from Zhao Si's hand. She was incredibly strong; if Zhao Si hadn't released the phone in time, he would have been pulled away along with it.

Then, after Zhao Si stood next to Exusiai for a long time, the other party was still frantically fiddling with her phone.

Bush, Gomen.jpg

Standing still for more than a minute amidst a constant flow of people is torture! Especially with a few more female students waiting patiently in line to take photos, it only highlights how you're standing there holding everyone else back!

Generally speaking, if someone still doesn't know how to take photos with a smartphone in 2024, Zhao Si can only assume that the other person has some kind of problem with common sense or common sense.

Having no other option, Zhao Si apologized to the cosplayer, ran over to the girl, and reached out to take his phone back.

"If you really don't know how to use a mobile phone, I can teach you."

Zhao Si was so sure that the other party was also a cosplayer from the anime/manga world because in the normal world, who could grow purple hair normally? And even if it was dyed... well, if someone dyed their hair and immediately ran out to play, it wouldn't be strange.

Zhao Si suddenly accepted this premise and didn't suspect anything, but the other person's eyes were golden starry eyes, so there was no doubt that they were wearing colored contact lenses.

While his mind was wandering with random thoughts, it didn't stop Zhao Si from showing the purple-haired girl how to use a mobile phone.

"So you were taken back to the main page and couldn't find the photo option."

"Excuse me……"

No, Zhao Si has never touched the camera icon. It was placed in the bottom right corner when it came out of the factory and it has always been there. How could anyone play StarCraft to this extent?

Fortunately, the girl wasn't stupid. She quickly grasped the principle and, after giving Zhao Si an affirmative answer, she struck a pose and waited for Zhao Si to join the Exusiai cosplayer before snapping away at both of them.

(To protect personal privacy, I won't post any photos of the Exia cosplayer, just know that it's awesome!)

"Alright! Here you go!"

The purple-haired girl confidently handed the phone back to Zhao Si. Amidst the white-haired woman's call of "Sirin!" that had just refreshed the page, she waved reluctantly to Zhao Si, who simply nodded before looking down at the photo of himself and Exusiai… "Her photography skills are terrible! How come the focus is only on herself? Exusiai next to her is the real focus!"

Tsk.

Unnoticed by anyone, the purple-haired girl named "Cirin" was so angry that her face puffed up.

Throughout the entire process of handing over the phone and leaving, Zhao Si did not have any physical contact with the other party, demonstrating remarkably prudent social etiquette!

I just hope that when the other person is browsing through my phone, they won't click into the photo album and look at the tens of thousands of erotic pictures.

Zhao Si is usually an orphan, and his relationships with colleagues are limited to nodding acquaintances. He doesn't flatter his superiors, so who would bother to look through his photo album? He doesn't even bother with setting up any app locks or privacy settings for his photo album.

However, the boss still liked to take Zhao Si to social events, where he shone brightly.

Because he is good! (X)

Because he can drink a lot, they can get him to drink any kind of mixed liquor. (√)

Every time he drinks and takes the subway home, he can't even assemble a model anymore. The last time Zhao Si tried assembling a model after drinking, he woke up the next morning to find his HG West Asia special cat ears 00q covered in scratches, which scared him so much that he immediately disassembled the whole set and sanded it, and vowed never to touch model again after drinking.

After browsing around, Zhao Si only bought one box of HG Base Limited Edition merchandise priced at 240 RMB. The cover featured Seed Freedom's Immortal Justice and Ascension to Freedom, but the mecha inside had nothing to do with those two themes.

"The HG Transparent Destiny II is nothing but a recolored antenna and weapon. Even the instruction manual is the original Destiny II. Couldn't they at least print some Destiny II settings on it? Bandai is such an idiot."

Despite grumbling, the hand that paid didn't hesitate. As the WeChat payment success sound rang out, he knew he would have to live in the shadow of Consortium B for the rest of his life.

"The RG next to it is only 248 yen, what a good price... my ass! It was originally only 3850 yen, and even without considering the depreciation of the yen, it's only close to 200 yen. It's over 50 yen more than that. I won't buy it."

General sales are general sales, and limited editions are limited editions. If you've already paid a premium for a limited edition, you can't accept more than five times the price of a general sale item.

It seems to be just the last lament of the rubber collector; all the money has been spent, and any attempt to fuss over it is just self-consolation.

"I once wielded a RG, swaggering through the streets, enjoying immense prestige. Alas, those days are gone."

Zhao Si thought to himself, then seemed to remember something, and directly took a box of gu from the counter, placed it on the cashier, and said to the sales clerk:

"Hey handsome, I'll buy another box of Yuanzu."

(No picture, because there isn't one.)

When Zhao Si came out of the store, he felt his back straighten a bit more. Without further hesitation, he found a bench, sat down, opened the box, listened to the rustling sound of the sealed bag, pulled out the instruction manual from the bottom of the box, and began to read it with great interest:

"I'd seen the sprues before, but I didn't even have time to glance at the instructions before it was sent... Huh? The physical instructions are blank? Did I get a defective product? No way, this is so unlucky, I curse Bandai!"

Zhao Si's thoughts were a bit confused. He subconsciously opened 7|8|Anime on his phone, searched for the RGU instruction manual, and found the contents of the manual clearly visible. He was extremely grateful.

"No, what is this...?"

"Hello there!"

"Whoa!"

Startled by a familiar voice, Zhao Si turned his head and saw the purple-haired, golden-eyed girl who had taken his picture earlier waving at him, holding two cups of room-temperature, unsweetened glutinous rice lemon tea, Zhao Si's favorite drink.

"I'll treat you to a drink!"

A little girl named "Xilin" stuffed lemon tea into Zhao Si's arms, but he immediately put the gu in his arms aside to avoid being tortured by the lemon tea.

Tsk.

"Uh? Are we that close?"

I feel like this girl isn't as shy as before; it's like she's just stopped pretending. Oh well, I'd better not get my hopes up.

For example, whether the glutinous rice lemon tea placed directly in his arms was drugged or not, Zhao Si was temporarily kept in the dark.

When you're out and about, it's best not to eat anything offered by strangers.

"Well, I think we're pretty close."

How well do you know each other?

"It's so well-cooked from being baked by the sun."
