Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

After eating, Liang showed his conscience for the first time in a long time and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to the store manager.

"By the way, I'd also like to order a cup of Earl Grey tea. Please put the money on Chen Mo's account."

"Hey! I knew your conscience wouldn't last a minute!"

"You're clearly the band's biggest fan, yet you're unwilling to buy your idol a cup of tea? Chen Mo, you're truly a disqualified fan!"

"What? Sorry, I'm already a fan of Poppin'Party. They're going to play a live for me, so enthusiastic. Ending the band? I'm not familiar with them."

"You scumbag!"

Listening to Liang and Chen Mo's bickering, Lin Linzi smiled and said to Chen Mo:

"Mr. Chen Mo, you really like girl bands."

Chen Mo responded: "Indeed, even without mentioning the source of the mana, their performance did make me fall in love with music for the first time."

Rinrinko extended an invitation: "Well, are you interested in working here part-time? RING is in need of a capable staff member."

Chen Mo: "But I'm already running the Magic Handyman Shop. I don't have time to work part-time. No... I don't think I have time."

Chen Mo didn't even believe the words "no time." After the initial hustle and bustle of setting up the stall, business at the Wanshiwu wasn't exactly bustling, but at least it was pretty quiet. He'd only taken on two orders, both of which he'd completed quickly. While waiting for commissions to come in, he'd either surf the internet or hunt evil spirits on the streets, leaving him with plenty of free time.

If I work at RING, not only can I earn extra money, but I can also get in touch with girl bands from a close distance. It's really a win-win situation. Why didn't I think of it before?

Oh, so the arrogant manager didn't invite me and only let the four people who had finished their band work at Fanxing. That's fine.

Chen Mo: "But the people working here are all high school girls. As a grown man, I feel a bit out of place here."

Rin Rinzi stretched out her hand: "What does it matter? Love of music is not limited to men, women, young or old.

Even though this is the era of big girl bands, as long as you have a heart that wants to express yourself and emotions that you want to convey, no matter who you are, you can find your passion in music.

If you're interested, you can also try to form a band. Music isn't just for girls. Of course, you can also just be a staff member. It's a very happy thing to be able to support girls from behind the scenes to shine on the stage.

It was so warm and sparkling! Chen Mo felt his heart skip a beat. He finally understood what Kasumi had said, "kirakiradokidoki." Even if he had never been interested in music, and only used the band as a source of inspiration, could he still shine with these girls?

It's really beautiful and unreal.

Chen Mo shook Rin Rinzi's hand: "From now on, I will be a new staff member of RING. Thank you for inviting me, Manager."

-

What? I thought I said that as a planeswalker, I would only be the boss and never work for others?

I would rather starve to death, die outside, or jump off here than work!

Hehe, it smells so good.

-

"Huh? I'll be your colleague from now on? Is the store manager so careless?"

Li Xi stared at Chen Mo and placed the red teacup heavily in front of Liang.

Chen Mo nodded. Li Xi seemed to have a bad temper, but as a more experienced colleague, he still had to maintain a good relationship with him and show some respect.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Shiina-senpai."

"Shiina, cough cough——"

Li Xi was choked by Chen Mo's honorific. After all, she was just a high school girl. The man in front of her, who was several heads taller than her and much more mature, called her by such a respectful title. She felt that she was not worthy of her position.

Her cheeks blushed slightly as she said, "No, there's no need to say that. Just call me Lixi from now on. I'll teach you how to do things here, so you have to pay attention."

Chen Mo: "Great! Thank you so much, Li Xi!"

Looking at it this way, although she has a quick temper, she is still a good person!

-

By the way, where did Xiangcheng and Youxi go? Chen Mo suddenly remembered that his cat was taken away by these two people and has not been returned yet.

Forget it, once they have had enough fun, Felynx can go home by herself, so let’s not worry about it for now.

Meanwhile, in an empty rehearsal room that no one else had booked

Ms. Yukina, with her cold face and serious demeanor, whose presence alone creates a strong sense of pressure, buried her face in the Feycat's belly, sucking furiously, her hands thoroughly enjoying the soft fur on its belly.

"Oh my! You little kitty are so cute! How can you be so cute? Not only are you cute, but you can also talk. It's so adorable to end your words with "meow"~

Hey, you little kitty, what can you do? Can you escape from my palm? You can't!

Hehehehe, mua, mua, kittens like you are born to be eaten by their mothers~~"

Kasumi didn't let it go either. With shining eyes, she stroked the cat's head all the way to the tip of its tail, and exclaimed loudly:

"Wow! What a cute cat familiar! This is so kirakiradokidoki! After the live, I must ask Mr. Planeswalker for a kitten like this!"

Felynx: "Wow! Boss! These two women are so scary, come and save me, meow!"

Chen Mo raised his head with a hint of understanding: "Elu Cat?" (Indifferent)

Chapter 25 Want to form a band?

The part-time job at RING went surprisingly smoothly; after all, it was a job even a high school girl could easily handle. In the cafe, Li Xi was primarily responsible for the kitchen, while Chen Mo handled reception, cleaning the counter, and preparing dishes. When Xiang Cheng and the others arrived to take over the front desk duties, Chen Mo would help with the manual labor.

Lixi is also very strict in his work requirements: "Remember, after washing the cups, you must first turn them upside down on the rack to drain most of the water before using a sponge to absorb the remaining water droplets. Then, use a dry towel to rub them inside and out several times before putting them in the storage cabinet, otherwise there will be water stains."

"Also, don't press the button on that beverage machine too hard, or the water will splash out."

Chen Mo gave an OK gesture: "Understood! Don't worry!"

So Li Xi plunged back into the kitchen. While working there, more than one person had told her that her way of dealing with people was too stressful, and she preferred to stay in the kitchen. Now that Chen Mo was at the front desk, the pressure was much relieved.

At this time, Yukina came out holding the already dispirited Fey cat. She proudly announced to everyone in RING: "I've decided, this cat will be the new member of Roselia from now on!"

Feline: "Boss, she insisted that I join the band, meow."

Chen Mo: "Okay, then, can you give me a friends and family discount on tickets for Roselia's next performance?"

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll sell you the cat."

"Boss!!"

The sold Felyne was taken away by Yukina. Ten minutes later, a dispirited Yukina returned and said, "My teammates don't recognize the new member."

Chen Mo: "What a shame. Do I still have a discount?"

Li Xi's voice came from the kitchen: "Stop playing with cats there!"

-

Thus began Chen Mo's life as a part-time worker. Even so, it was so uneventful that there wasn't much to record. The Yorozuya hadn't commissioned him, and after the band's break, he was writing lyrics and arranging music. Chen Mo's life consisted of going to work, chatting with his friends after get off work, and grabbing half-price bento boxes with Xiangzi.

A few days passed, the sun was setting, and it was almost time to get off work. Most of the customers at RING had left. Li Xi went to the counter as usual and carefully checked: all the tableware was neatly arranged, the accounts were complete, and even the tables and chairs were wiped clean and neatly arranged. Even Li Xi, a strict person, could not find any fault.

Chen Mo: "Lixi, is there anything else you want to teach me?"

Li Xi looked at him admiringly and replied, "No, you have done very well recently. You must keep it up in the future."

This was certainly true. Several of the seniors working here were a bit careless, especially a certain Kasumi-san. That broken drink machine alone had burst at least five or six times, and forgetting the time and being late and leaving early was a common occurrence. Although Chen Mo seemed unreliable upon first meeting him, he was actually quite trustworthy when he got things done.

Although it wasn't her responsibility, Li Xi used to help her seniors clean up their messes before leaving get off work. Now that Chen Mo was around, she no longer needed to do that, and she even had some free time before leaving get off work.

During the time they were alone together, Chen Mo took the initiative to talk to Li Xi: "By the way, Li Xi, everyone in RING is basically a band member. Are you also forming a band?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Li Xi's eyes, but he still answered: "No, I used to be a drummer in a band, but now the band has disbanded."

Chen Mo: "Are you interested in forming a band now?"

Li Xi: "No, no, why are you asking this?"

Chen Mo: "I'm thinking about forming a girl band myself."

No matter what, it's better to keep power in your own hands. It's not that ending the band is bad, but I can't afford to slack off any longer. In this dangerous world, I must quickly recover my fighting strength.

Three mana points... no, at least five, Chen Mo calculated. He'd already been dawdling in this world for over half a month, so he needed to speed things up. He could hold a live after the band finished, collect some from other girl bands, and form a makeshift girl band. Even if it meant playing once and then disbanding, it wouldn't matter. As long as he could gather five mana points, he could cast a spell that would change his current predicament.

Chen Mo: "To be honest, I'm not talking about long-term operation. I'm interested in girl bands more for magical reasons. It's enough for the band to form and hold at least one live performance. Do you want to help?"

Li Xi frowned: "No, no, I won't be in the same group with you."

Chen Mo: "Me? Is there something wrong with me?"

Li Xi: “It’s not because you have a problem, but because of some...other reasons.

If you want to form a temporary band, I can put you in touch with other people."

Chen Mo: "Really? That's great!"

After receiving the contact information from Li Xi, Chen Mo saw the person she recommended. The profile picture was a picture of an eight-string bass, and the account name was AAA Bass Support Yawata Hailing.

After contacting the bassist named Hailing, the other party directly sent a set of templates: various bass support times, performance prices and part-time schedules

She was practically a bass mercenary, simultaneously providing part-time bass support for over a dozen bands, with her schedule booked out for weeks. This was truly impressive. Chen Mo thought of Yamada Ryo, who had left his band. Are all bassists this charismatic?

What was even more surprising was that since it was Li Xi who contacted him, Hai Ling said she could give Chen Mo a 20% discount.

Very good, we found a bassist for the temporary band, now we just need a keyboardist, guitarist, drummer and vocalist... This is still a long way off.

Or, why don’t you find a musical instrument to practice now?

Tips user: Task 3 Make at least ten friends (10/10) Completed

The first ring of the main task has been completed, please check it in time

Just then, Chen Mo heard the reminder of the task book, and he realized that the task of making friends had been completed without him realizing it.

Yes, there are only four people in the band at the end, and several group members in the chat group are also very familiar with each other. Add to that Aaron, the Death Brothers, Xiangzi, and the new people from RING. No matter how the relationship develops, there is no problem in at least calling each other "friends".

What? I'm pretty good at socializing.

Chen Mo entered his mana and opened the quest book to see his new rewards and the next main quest. The quest reward was another new spell, but this time it wasn't a creature but an artifact:
