Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

The success rate is relatively high. In fact, some people have already caught them in almost the right positions; I just move them a little more. That's why I always switch machines to play.

"No, no, even so, most people wouldn't be able to catch this many... So what are we going to do with them? We can't take them all..."

Xiao Meng held four dolls and realized that this was her limit.

After grabbing the last one, Yu Zhe clapped his hands and said, "We can each take one and leave. Let the staff collect the rest. It's just for fun anyway. Look at those people standing behind us, they should be the staff in charge of this area."

Zixiao turned around and found that there were indeed two or three people standing there, but none of them were wearing staff uniforms.

So she asked, "Brother, how did you know they were staff members?"

“It’s very simple.” Yu Zhe smiled. “When the others were watching, they only had surprise and curiosity in their eyes, but those few people, looking at the doll that was taken away, had heartache written all over their faces.”

(P.S.: It's a new month! Asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month! Happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)

33. Let me explain! (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)

"They really did return them all..."

Xiaomeng is holding a rabbit doll in her hand. Including the one she originally brought, she now has two in total.

However, not far away, one could see staff putting the dozens of plush toys that Yu Zhe had just grabbed back into the claw machine.

She felt a little lost. Perhaps Yu Zhe was right; she really was the thrifty and hardworking type.

The staff member in charge of recycling was still thanking Yu Zhe: "Thank you so much! You were kind enough to return the plush toy you caught. Please try not to come here again... cough cough, welcome to come play here again!"

Yu Zhe remained noncommittal. Were these people trying to get rid of him just now?

Forget it.

They'd had enough of playing claw machines. Zixiao said she wasn't interested anymore, while Xiaomeng thought it was a waste of money.

So the group continued to walk around the venue, looking for something else to do.

Yu Zhe stopped in his tracks when he reached a peculiar area.

To be honest, there's nothing special about this area; it's just that the ground is covered with books.

However, this was in stark contrast to the terrible covers of these books and the word "notebook" hanging on the wall.

This stall was destined to be extraordinary!

You're supposed to be the biggest anime convention in Fenghai City! How can such a reputable convention openly sell comics?!

And surprisingly, this stall had quite a few people!

Everyone held the notebook, marveling at it as if it were some sacred object, and appreciating it with great interest.

He pinched his brow with his right hand, feeling a real headache. The world is truly full of wonders.

If I came alone, I might have taken a good look at it... cough cough, no way!

However, we still have Zixiao and the others with us, so moving on to the next location is the better option.

He took Zixiao's hand and continued forward without stopping, but after only a few steps, Yuzhe felt a sense of unease.

"Huh? Where did Yuche go? Wasn't she just here a moment ago?"

Zixiao pointed to the stall from before with her other finger: "Yuche is over there, he looks like he's reading a book."

???

Yu Zhe turned around abruptly, and sure enough, Yu Che was standing behind him, flipping through a notebook and nodding from time to time.

You still dare to nod?!

Turning around like a shooting star, Yu Zhe reached out and forcefully slapped Yu Che on the head, pulling her aside: "You little rascal, running around like that when I'm not watching you?! Do you even know what you're looking at?!"

Waaah… This time my brother really hit me hard, it hurt so much!

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yu Che covered her head with both hands and said in a pitiful and aggrieved voice, "I...I know...isn't this a doujinshi?"

"You dare say that out loud?! You know I know, yet you still openly watch. Do you really think I can't bring myself to hit you?"

Yu Zhe was genuinely angry; his sister's physical and mental health was a matter of great concern to him.

"No...don't hit me...let me explain..."

"Okay, speak your mind, I'm listening to your explanation."

Her voice was barely audible. Yu Che shrank back and said timidly, "I'm not looking at it for myself... nor am I buying it for myself."

"You didn't actually buy it for me, did you?"

What was meant as a joking question turned into an unexpected nod from Yu Che.

"That's right, it's for you, brother."

"Do I need it?!"

After a period of timidity, Yu Che now had the courage to confront the issue directly: "It's not a question of whether it's necessary or not, but those notebooks, they really are the special kind."

"special?"

"That's right, it's very special."

Yu Che took Yu Zhe's hand and led him to the spot where she had been standing and looking at the notebook.

Then he got to the point: "I've noticed that all the notebooks in this area are in the same category. I think this category should be a must-learn for you, brother. It's definitely worth collecting them."

What category?

Yu Zhe looked around the cover for a long time but didn't find anything special about it.

Picking up another book from the ground, Yu Che confidently shook it back and forth a couple of times: "The category is... these are all 'little sister' type doujinshi,' isn't that important?! This is strategically important to me! And it can even benefit Zi Xiao, I'm telling you! Brother! I bought all of these for you, so you can read more! Learn more! Learn more..."

"Learn from me, my foot!"

Yu Zhe: I'll just chop you with one hand and you'll know! You're just a little sister!

..............................

Zixiao and Xiaomeng watched in confusion as Yuzhe pulled Yuche back.

Come.

I don't know what they were talking about just now, I only know that Yu Zhe seemed a little angry, and Yu Che is touching his head with one hand.

Was she hit by her brother?

Zi Xiao thought to herself, "That really felt good!" But she suggested that she and Xiao Lizhi learn Iron Head Kung Fu, it would be incredibly useful.

The music continues to evolve, and the activities at the comic convention venue have become increasingly diverse over time.

Yu Zhe thought that in order to have a good time, he suggested that everyone find the activities they wanted to do. After all, if they went together, they would always have to worry about this and that, and they might not be able to have a good time.

Finally, you just need to specify a set of times and locations.

"Just to emphasize, you are not allowed to go near that area where there's a bunch of books!"

As he said this, Yu Zhe glared fiercely at Yu Che.

Yu Che nodded quickly, but what she was thinking was... Brother, you should read some doujinshi about younger sisters... This is a very important thing!

Zixiao had no objection to splitting up, but her answer was exactly what Yuzhe expected.

"As for me, I can just follow my brother wherever he goes. Actually, there's nothing in particular that I want to do."

Yes, for someone who isn't an otaku, if they try to get around a comic convention on their own, they'll be completely lost.

Although Zixiao didn't actually think that much about it, she just wanted to follow Yuzhe.

Yu Che continued to stick close to Yu Zhe.

As for Luo Xiaomeng, she actually saw several attractions she wanted to try on the way here.

So she told Yu Zhe the time and place to meet up, and then temporarily separated from the others.

She said it was a project she was interested in, but there was one she really wanted to see.

That's a fortune-telling shop not far from here.

When Xiaomeng saw that fortune-telling shop earlier, she was very curious. It had a fairytale charm and a mysterious feel to it.

Most importantly, Xiaomeng really wants to have her love life predicted...

Sigh, I really envy Su Zixiao for having a Prince Charming like Yu Zhe... Ah! I don't mean anything by it! I just think Yu Zhe has a princely air about him!

But...wouldn't it be more appropriate to call her a princess?

After queuing for a while in front of the fortune-telling shop, Xiaomeng saw that it was finally her turn. She walked in through the purple curtain of the fortune-telling shop with a little nervousness.

This fortune-telling booth is actually just a small, temporary space, probably about five square meters.

Once inside, the space wasn't as dark as I'd imagined. The floor was decorated with a purple six-pointed star pattern, and the oval ceiling was covered with small stars.

There's a candle on the table... Is it really necessary to light a candle when you have the light on?

Behind the table sat a young girl, wearing a purple shrine maiden hat and a long robe, looking mysterious!

Xiao Meng thinks this atmosphere is very reliable!

Sitting down opposite the girl, Xiaomeng tentatively began, "Hello, I'd like to have my fortune told..."

"Wait!" the girl suddenly interrupted.

Oh? Xiao Meng thought she must be trying to make some profound guess!

Could this be a master?

But I didn't expect that.

The girl simply pushed a QR code over: "Scan this code first, it's thirty yuan for a fortune telling."

"..."

The mysterious atmosphere has vanished!

34. Fortune Telling House (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month!)

The girl who runs the fortune-telling shop is named Zhang Zhi. She is actually a second-year high school student at Fenghai No.1 Middle School.

She is not very noticeable in daily life; in fact, she has a very low profile.

However, she does have a business mind. She knows that comic conventions target young people, and a large portion of the young people attending comic conventions in Fenghai City are students from Fenghai No. 1 Middle School.

Therefore, Zhang Zhi paid special attention to the situation of other students when she was in school.
