Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

"Anyway, even though this spiritual question-and-answer incident is over, it still caused me so much trouble. You guys need to do me a favor."

Li Xi folded his hands and said, "No matter what, you saved my life this time. I will definitely help you as long as I can."

Hailing also nodded: "Since you trust me so much, I can do anything!"

Chen Mo: "Due to some magical reasons, I need to put together a temporary band for a live performance. It just so happens that you three are all musicians, so come and form a band with me."

What a coincidence! Lixi is the drummer, Hailing is the bassist, and Chuhua can be the lead singer and also play the guitar. As long as they find a lead guitarist, or practice keyboard skills to the point where they can perform on stage, they can start a live performance.

It took five seconds to exorcise the ghost and half an hour to comfort the gods, but being able to put together a temporary band made it worthwhile for me to take on such a troublesome task.

Li Xi tutted his words, but still agreed: "Then it's a deal, we'll only do this live show once. I haven't decided to form a band with you yet."

Chen Mo: "Of course, this is just a temporary solution. By the way, Li Xi, is there a reason why you're so weird about forming a band? Maybe it's like your love for pandas, it's something that doesn't need to be hidden at all. Why don't you tell us about it? Maybe my magic can be of some help."

Chen Mo could see that this Li Xi was also a kind of tsundere. If he wanted to communicate with her, he had to go along with her - wasn't the concentration of tsunderes in this world a bit too high?

Li Xi hesitated again and again, perhaps because he felt that after all the trouble, Chen Mo had become a trustworthy person, so he finally told the truth:

"My previous band was the lead singer of CRYCHIC, Takamatsu Deng. I really like her lyrics. I feel like they speak from my heart. If I were to form a band, I'd still like to be in a band with Deng."

Chen Mo: "Then I'll go find this Gao Songdeng and try to persuade him."

Li Xi: "No, don't go. Deng was very hurt by Xiangzi's departure and the disbandment of CRYCHIC. She doesn't want to form a band again. I... I don't want her to get hurt."

Well, there's really no way to resolve this deadlock. Gao Songdeng is hurt and doesn't want to form a band, while Li Xi just wants to stay in a band with Deng, but doesn't want to poke her sore spot.

Chen Mo thought about it and realized that there was no better solution than to mentally control the two of them, but that might not allow them to express their true feelings.

After Li Xi was taken care of, Hai Ling, who was already working as a mercenary everywhere, had no objection. Only Chu Hua weakly expressed doubt: "Well, I still have a job at Sumimi, so I don't have time to form a band again."

Chen Mo: "But I see you have a lot of free time. You have time to spy on Xiangzi, and you also have time to come over and play ghost hunting games."

Chen Mo opened the video on his phone and threatened the active idol he had caught with a devilish tone:

"Ms. Chuhua, you don't want Xiangzi to know that you are peeping at her, right?

Xiangzi and I are now in a relationship where we buy lunch boxes together every day. If I say a few bad words about you in front of her...

Chu Hua: "No, no! Don't let Xiangzi hate me! I, I will do anything."

Chen Mo: "Why do I feel like I'm playing the villain in some weird production? Anyway, my first band is formed!"

He pointed at the three divine beings of Hanasakigawa and happily announced, "The name of the group is, The Three Musketeers of Hana-chan!"

Li Xi complained: "What an ugly name. Also, isn't there still one member missing? Whether you take the position or find someone else, there will be four of us."

Chen Mo: "You don't understand, it's common sense that there are four of the Three Musketeers!"

Chapter 30 Something went wrong with Tsundere

"This is too sudden. Time is suddenly freed up, and we have to find someone to fill it."

Miss Rinrinko complained, and the people sitting with her also looked worried.

It was morning now, and there were not many people in RING. Li Xi was wiping cups, and Chen Mo was trying to practice keyboarding.

The Star Realm keyboard wasn't very large and didn't need to be plugged in. Chen Mo kept it in the shop and practiced whenever he had time. It was a shame that the Flower Girl Three Musketeers all expressed regret over his level of skill, with Li Xi even bluntly saying, "Your keyboard skills aren't even good enough for the stage."

Chen Mo: "I just started practicing."

Li Xi: "Even among the newcomers, he is the worst level one."

Chen Mo: "So straightforward!"

Chen Mo looked at the store manager and asked, "What's wrong, store manager? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Rinrinko is currently discussing the performance arrangements for two weeks with Yamabuki Saya and Hazawa Tsugumi, members of the girl bands Poppin'Party and Afterglow, respectively. The two bands are scheduled to perform at a concert two weeks later, but something has gone wrong with the original plan.

The band originally scheduled to perform between the two bands canceled their performance, leaving a gap of at least ten minutes. No matter how they adjusted the time, there would be a gap of at least ten minutes. Rinrinko contacted many bands, but still no band was willing to come and perform at the last minute.

Chen Mo laughed. "Hehe, now it's our turn as the 'Three Musketeers of Flower Girls' to take action! It's just right for my new band to take over!"

Linlinzi: "Mr. Chen Mo has also formed a band? That's great."

"Absolutely not." It was Li Xi who spoke, and she interrupted Chen Mo's thoughts very coldly.

"Forget about writing lyrics and arranging music, we don't even have enough time to sing a cover song. Not only have the Flower Girls' Three Musketeers not had any practice, they're even missing a member."

Chen Mo: "Then why don't you look for new members? I'll go up and play the keyboard?"

Li Xi: "Impossible. If I were to perform with a keyboard player of your caliber, it would definitely be the greatest shame of my life."

Rin Rinzi was a little embarrassed: "Li Xi, you don't have to be so strict when speaking."

Chen Mo, however, was nonchalant. "It's okay. It's better to speak your mind directly. In that case, I should go find a new member, huh?"

At this time, a message came. Chen Mo clicked it and saw that it was from the band.

"Ah, it's better to end the band. Pochi-chan is simply the most sane person in the world."

After appreciating the godlike level of the three musketeers of Hanasakigawa, Chen Mo sighed and touched Pochi's head, saying, "It's better to end the band. I am definitely the number one fan of the band."

"I hehehehe"

Bochi-chan's face softened as Chen Mo touched and praised her, and pink flowers popped out of her head.

At this time, Liang came over and stretched out his hand: "Borrow money."

Never mind, I take that back. Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves.

"You dare to ruin my good mood, you inherently evil little Bess? I'm going to punish you severely!"

As Chen Mo was shaking his head while pinching Liang's face, Xiduo ran over and shouted:

"Please don't hurt Senpai! If you want to pinch, pinch my face!"

Liang made a touching sound: "Kita, it turns out that you—you have always valued everyone the most?"

Xiduo risked his life to stand in front of Liang Di: "Senior, hurry up! I'll hold him back here! Come on! Master Chen Mo!"

In the end, it was Hong Xia who came out to stop the farce: "Alright, alright! Stop making trouble! Today is the third meeting of the band, and it's a rare serious business!"

Chen Mo: "What's the serious business? Are you finally--"

Hong Xia: "That's right! We finally finished composing the original lyrics and music! After a few rehearsals we can go on stage and perform live!"

"Touched!" Chen Mo took the lead and applauded with the other three.

Pochi-chan wrote new lyrics. According to her, she also incorporated inspiration provided by Liang. The song is called "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet".

Chen Mo was pleasantly surprised after reading it. Although Bochi-chan usually appears gloomy and self-deprecating, he is truly talented in lyric writing. While the words aren't flowery, they have a moving and penetrating quality. Most importantly, it fully reflects Bochi's personal style.

Liang's compositions were also quite impressive. The five of them hunched over the demo, sharing headphones, and after listening, they all gave it high praise—including Liang herself. She had no shame in boasting.

Chen Mo: "I think it's doable! Although we haven't practiced together yet, your lyrics and music have strong personal styles. I can already see the colors of the new songs - keep going!"

Kita: "That's great! A big fan agrees, so we must be fine!"

Chen Mo thought about what happened that morning and suggested to everyone, "Oh, by the way, you know I've been working at RING lately. The manager told me today that there's a performance in two weeks, and a band has pulled out, so we're short ten minutes. Should the band go in after the show? It's a great opportunity to show off our new song."

Hong Xia showed an embarrassment. "Well, Brother Chen Mo, thank you for your advice. However, we are mainly active in Fanxing right now, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for us to go there."

Liang didn't care: "I think it's no problem. Our performance will be popular wherever we go."

Hong Xia: "You're so arrogant!"

Chen Mo saw that Hong Xia was worried about making things difficult for others, so he waved his hand and said:

"It doesn't matter. You can perform wherever it's convenient for you. I just mentioned it in passing.

Hongxia, if you have any ideas in the future, you can just tell me directly. You don’t have to worry about my opinion all the time.”

Hong Xia chuckled: "After all, you are the number one fan of the band, so I should pay more attention to you."

Liang: "You care too much, just like a mother."

Hong Xia: "Not my mother!"

After finishing the band, everyone excitedly went to find the store manager. Hong Xia said, "Sister, we are ready! Can you arrange a performance time for us?"

The store manager raised his head and responded coldly: "Ah? I'm not going to queue for you."

“Ehhhh!?”

The four of them were stunned. Hong Xia asked blankly, "Why? We've already written our own original song, right?"

Store Manager: "What does that have to do with me?"

Hong Xia remembered something and took out the money she had earned from working: "Ah, don't worry about the customer attraction target, we will make up for the shortfall!"

Store manager: "It's not a question of money, but a question of strength"

Hong Xia: "Ah? But didn't we perform on stage before?"

The store manager said, "That's an exception so you can have a good memory. We usually have to review and audition the audio sources, you know that, right?"

Hong Xia: “,,,,I know.”

The store manager said: "Sorry, if the quality of your performance is still the same as last time, then don't even think about performing."

The atmosphere became tense. Hong Xia was struck by the store manager's indifferent attitude. She asked, "If we can't perform, what will happen to our band?"

Store Manager: "We're just playing the pretend band for life. Anything else?"

Hong Xia clutched the corner of her clothes, revealing a rare angry expression, then turned around and ran towards the door:

"You're talking about us, aren't you old enough to still need a stuffed doll to fall asleep?"

Store manager: "Huh? What are you saying in anger? It's incomprehensible."

"Hongxia, wait a moment."

Chen Mo grabbed Hong Xia, who was about to run away from the stars, and comforted her:

"It doesn't matter if the store manager doesn't let you perform. Isn't RING just in need of a band to help out? I'm working there right now. Just talk to Ms. Rinrinko and you guys can go on stage!"

Hong Xia: "Huh? Is it really possible?"
