Great, we're doomed now!

"You're joking, we're the production company now."

"Let's just say it's because I haven't forgotten my original intention," Ye Shou smiled. "Next thing."

"Yes." Liuli didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it wasn't anything important.

"Regarding the promotion of ALO... those guys actually suggested inviting idols to cosplay as fairies from the game and holding a comic convention... the design of this costume is really revealing... tsk, that lewd figure!"

Liuli said worriedly, "Aren't they being too direct? Don't forget we have many female players—"

"This is it! It's decided! It's bound to be a hit!" Ye Shou immediately made the decision.

"Ugh?"

Liuli was stunned: "But ALO actually has a third of female players. If the promotional work is only targeted at men and is so sexually explicit—"

"We need some female cosplayers who exude a strong, masculine aura; girls will really love these cosplayers!"

"Is that so?"

"So, who were the people you invited?"

"Oh...they're all popular idol groups, some from Japan, some from Korea...tsk!"

Liuli's gaze suddenly turned stern. If before it was about making suggestions for improving the plan, now it was directed at the person who proposed the plan.

"Daring to mix personal interests into company plans... These unknown underground idols are enjoying second-tier exposure. These guys are either paid or brainless fans!"

"What idol?"

“They’re called Backstreet Girls,” Ruri added. “A four-member group.”

"Backstreet Girls...that's a pretty common name."

It sounds familiar, but there are just too many underground idols in Japan, with all sorts of strange and unusual names. Maybe Chika mentioned it by chance. Ye Shou really didn't have time to think about it in detail.

Ye Shou waved his hand: "After all, it's just a matter of details. Let them relax a bit."

"You are too kind."

"Maybe the small group will work even harder, don't be so concerned~"

Ding!

[Destiny Coin (Nobuyuki Sugo/Aika) +1]

"Um?!"

Wait, what the heck? Did I do something?

Huh? Sugo... loves flowers?

Backstreet Girls... Backstreet Girls... I'm not some kind of demon...

Ah!

Ye Shou's pupils dilated slightly as fragments of memories surfaced in his mind, bringing him sudden clarity.

But then he fell into deep thought, then looked lost, and tried hard to stay composed...

I finally couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Shou looked carefully at the entries that the system card had refreshed this time, and was greatly disappointed.

Although he knew that this thing was highly random and that he wouldn't always be able to find the theme he needed, or that it might contain abilities that suited him, it was like a gacha pool, where you were always full of anticipation before the results came out.

"A romantic comedy... Why bring that up now?" Ye Shou scoffed.

Not to mention that he has absolutely no interest in this topic, even if he changes his mind one day and decides to devote himself to the pleasures of the heart, he will not need these terms to reduce the difficulty of the strategy.

However, now that it's already been detected, there shouldn't be any other system glitch in this cycle, so let's try to investigate it. Maybe we can find something useful?

"【Tree Flag】...I see, it means it will notify you that you can start the romance after the event happens...【Insensitivity】? What is that...If someone confesses to me, I'll pretend I didn't understand, and people will think I'm just slow-witted, so my affection level won't drop...I didn't want to be a herbivore male lead!"

After pondering for a while in his room, since it wasn't a combat-related keyword he cared about, he quickly made a decision:

Choose a negative keyword to accumulate 18 points, and use 17 of those points to exchange for four positive keywords.

负：

[A Blessing from the Orthopedics Department]

Correct:

My Superman

[Synergy], [Assist]

[Action Power]

Among them, "My Superman" is an option whose specific effects are unclear, but it is quite appealing to Ye Shou.

If it performs well in the next month, Ye Shou even thinks it's worth buying it outright.

Its description is rather vague, but simply put, it means that once an "important person" is in trouble, once they make up their mind to take action, they will be "divinely assisted" in doing things!

There are no specific numbers or success rates mentioned, but considering various classic romantic comedy scenes, what is being discussed here is likely something akin to fortune or superstition.

After all, the upper and lower limits of such works are extremely wide. Liberating a chuunibyou girlfriend from her psychological trauma is "My Superman," and chatting and laughing with a father-in-law who rules the galaxy for the sake of a wife who falls from the sky can also be described as "My Superman."

It's hard to say whether someone is love-struck!

Ye Shou was still willing to take a gamble on this highly uncertain ability.

He pays more attention to the premise of "important people". If the target here is not limited to lovers, but can also be family, friends, subordinates or the like, then Ye Shou has a very wide range of powerful luck buffs.

Although it's only worth a "6" and not strong enough to interfere with the law of causality, sometimes it's just a matter of luck and a bit of wishful thinking!

The next two effects, [Bond] and [Assist], are aura effects that apply to "comrades," increasing the bond with those around them and thus amplifying cooperative effects. Then, when facing difficulties, those around them will provide even more assistance.

Romantic comedies are old tropes... but Ye Shou wants to see if they can be applied to other things.

The only thing I'm certain about is the [action] factor:

Based on the bond and affinity, provide others with a certain degree of stimulation to increase their enthusiasm and initiative.

If this were in a youth movie, it would probably only serve to prompt the male and female leads to confess their feelings, or to encourage the third party to make a move. But if it were in Ye Shou's case... hey!

Employee morale will definitely increase significantly!

As for the only negative term, Ye Shouze played a little trick:

[A Blessing from the Orthopedics Department]

—I don't even have a sister, why would I be afraid of you!?

This morally offensive tag had no effect on Ye Shou; it was like giving him free points.

"No big moves this month... I should take a good rest."

After taking care of everything, Ye Shou let out a long sigh and lay down on the bed. With his current physical condition, sleeping was no longer a necessity, but he still maintained his usual routine.

"Hello everyone, I'm Asuna Yuuki."

A beautiful girl with long chestnut hair wrote her name on the blackboard, bowed to the students in the classroom, and her light and pleasant voice made people feel good about her.

"Because I enrolled early, I'm probably younger than everyone else. Please forgive any immature behavior I might exhibit... Please take care of me in the future~"

The Chinese language teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher, chuckled softly, "So meticulous! Although they're young, their manners are quite impeccable. Boys, cheer! The class's 'girl power' has increased again!"

The class burst into laughter. The boys were naturally pleased, and the girls were quite happy as well—Asuna looked like the kind of well-behaved girl.

Asuna, with her calm and graceful demeanor, exudes the aura of a noble lady, blending in quite harmoniously into this school full of young ladies.

"Then... I'll sit next to Fujiwara-san."

The teacher thought she needed to find someone outgoing and popular to help Asuna adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible, and immediately spotted Chika, whose eyes were shining.

"Ok."
