"Yes, yes, good brother." Xiao Ikari really didn't expect this. He didn't know that there was also the matter of Nagisa Kaworu: "But this is too expensive, right? We each have a suite. Food and lodging are all included..."

Xiao Ding was actually thinking: Is this how much money can be made as a live streamer? Can any random guest be given this level of food and accommodation?

"Don't think too much about this, brother. We haven't lost anything. This show went well and everyone is happy. The sponsors are happy, the audience is happy, and this is better than anything else." Huang Laoxian also had a righteous look on his face. At this moment, he directly took out... a mobile phone from his waist: "Brother, you are Japanese, and you may not be used to this thing in Shanghai. It doesn't matter. We brothers pooled our money to buy a mobile phone. You can use this WeChat account first. There is also an Alipay account bound to the same card. There are 50,000 yuan in it. You can use it first. If it's not enough, tell me again--"

"No, no, no, although I am young, this is indeed inappropriate..."

"Hey, what's inappropriate about this? I'm telling you, this is perfectly appropriate." Clown Zhou, the legal representative of scboy, said. According to Huang, his clownness comes from the heart, manifesting in every aspect of his daily life: "I'm just asking you, brother, do you consider us brothers?"

You all treat me like your uncle: "Of course we're brothers! But even brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's not right to take advantage of you like this..."

"Okay, since you said so, why don't you come and help us? After all, we have ambitions too. I wonder if you're willing to do me a favor!"

"...Hmm?" What does that mean? This might be a trap. "Of course!"

"Here's how, brother, sign with us. Actually, you're popular enough, but your cash-out rate isn't good enough - so, sign with us. We don't want a share of your live streaming revenue, but you have to participate in our events. For this, we can pay you $10 a month - see if you're willing."

"...Huh?!" One hundred thousand dollars a month? What does that even mean? What does that mean? Suddenly...

What does it mean to earn $10 a month?

Maru, the world's "King of StarCraft," known as Korea's "Little Time," has won numerous world championships, but over the past decade, he's only earned a few million dollars in prize money. $10 a month?

Do you have the money to gather all the top players together to play games every day?

"Why so many?"

"Oh, brother, you don't know. This doesn't happen often in our industry. Of course, it might happen a lot to newcomers, but it won't happen to popular anchors. Don't worry, we won't lose money, but it would be great if it could help you. Don't take it too seriously. Are you worried that we might cheat you?"

Brother Sun was acting like the big brother at the moment. As the most...intelligent of the three, he acted like a fishmonger at a fish market and said, "The biggest reason for deceiving you is some kind of shady contract, setting you up. We don't do these things, we SCBOY are your brothers! - A gentleman's word is as good as gold! Here, there's $100,000 on this card, a UnionPay card that you can use in Japan - take it. We're not talking about signing a contract, that's all nonsense! You just need to fulfill the requirements of the contract and remember to participate in our interactions, and you'll be fine. It won't affect your studies, just pay it every month - see if that's okay."

"Uh……"

Shinji suddenly became suspicious, just like when you play with a cat with a piece of catnip, the cat will also be entangled: How can such a good thing fall from the sky in this world? And it also dropped rice, spicy shredded pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, tomato and egg soup, chopsticks, waiter, check?

"Uh... this is too..."

"Hey, brother, how about you take it first? We'll take the responsibility if anything goes wrong—yes, we've recorded what we just said on video, and you can keep it too! If anything goes wrong, sue us with that video, and we'll definitely win!" Mr. Zhou took the phone that was recording the video nearby and handed it directly to Xiao Ding: "Tell me, what else are you worried about?—Go back and discuss it with Sister Ding Wei. If she agrees, we'll be fine."

"Uh... well."

————————————————————————

"Huh?! One hundred thousand dollars a month? - Are you selling yourself out there?" Asuka's intuition was still sharp.

"...Mom, what do you think?" Little Ikari asked Ikari Yui. If it were an ordinary parent, they might think that this is for the good of the child and not be so aggressive in asking for money. But look at our Ikari Yui, she's different!

"Only 10 US dollars? If our Shinji wants to do it, he will have to start with at least one million US dollars per month." You see, our Ikari Yui is different.

Actually, it's true. If Ikari kills an Angel, he can bankrupt a small European country! One million? One million is the fuel cost of starting the EVA! What's Ikari Yui's point of view? Ikari Yui is Unit-01. With a flick of her finger in Unit-01, a hundred thousand troops are wiped out. Look at the Spear of Longinus, seven billion people share the cold and heat.

A million dollars?

But now, Ikari Yui was eager to protect her child. "As for this matter... wait a minute, I'll ask my knowledgeable friends. But these people don't all look bad, but they're not good people anyway - let's wait and see."

"Eh? One hundred thousand dollars a month is enough to support Xiao Gou-kun? Well, it's a bit much, but it's acceptable." Makiba's emotional intelligence may not be as high as Nagisa Kaworu's. She jumped up to Ikari Shinji and said with a smile: "Senior, can you give your son to me? I'll pay for the one hundred thousand dollars a month..."

"What do you think of my son? I told you not to talk about Puppy-kun anymore! Otherwise, what will become of me?"

"Well, senior sister, just treat me like a bitch... Ah! - Senior sister, don't touch me like that~ The children are all watching... "

She wants to have it all?

Ayanami tugged at Ikari's sleeve, and Asuka stepped on Ikari's instep.

The three of them sneaked out.

Chapter 69: Night in the Magic City

Night Shanghai, Night Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps. The lights are on, the music is playing, and the singing and dancing are in full swing.

Shanghai is still Shanghai. Shanghai is still Shanghai. It's as if nothing has changed in a century, firmly occupying the throne of East Asia's prosperity: first, second, and finally first.

"Wow, this really is a big city!" Asuka said, looking excitedly from the Bund. "It's much better than Cologne. Connecticut and Bonn are just small towns."

"......?" Ikari Shinji didn't quite understand: "Cologne?"

"I was born in Cologne, a small place." Asuka said with emotion: "Dirty streets, mentally retarded people, and groups of Turkish immigrants—"

"Uh, what does this have to do with Connecticut and Bonn?" Aren't we in Shanghai?

"...I have two doctorates from Yale in Connecticut, and I went to college at the University of Bonn in Bonn. What do you think?"

Asuka, the top student, made Shinji Ikari look confused, while Ayanami just watched indifferently.

It felt just like hearing about Asuka graduating from university last week.

"Uh, ah, Yale." Xiao Ding was quite impressed by this. "I haven't heard of Bonn..."

"Bonn is better than Yale, I think. It's just that the schooling is faster there." Asuka brushed her hair and said, "European universities are better for showing off. Marx, Nietzsche, Heine, Beethoven, and two generations of German emperors are all my alumni. Of course, my academic performance is much better than theirs. Hehehe~"

"...Let's go shopping over there."

Rows and rows of buildings, French, American, British, and... well, it's the old concession area. Standing there quietly, the bustling crowds of people are lined up one after another. People come and go, and across the river, I see tall buildings, the Pearl of the Orient, my love~

Garfield once said that one cat may not attract attention, but two cats are different.

Garfield is right.

The two beautiful girls, Asuka and Ayanami, surround the beautiful boy, Koizumi, and the scene can really be described as pleasing to the eye - three 14-year-old boys and girls in their prime youth are very eye-catching.

"This place is really interesting." Ayanami was eating a grilled meat roll happily, not looking like a vegetarian at all. "Hmm... Shinji-san, what do you think?"

There is a crossroads in front of me, a very famous crossroads.

Because the flow of people was too large, four rows of armed police officers formed a human wall to mobilize and block the crowd.

"Wow, I've never seen that before." Asuka took out her phone and took a photo of the "spectacular" crowd in front of her, then pulled Ikari into her camera. I don't know what she was thinking, but she also hugged Ayanami in: "Come on, take a photo together - smile."

Click click click.

"Yeah, it's really interesting." Xiao Ding is now at the level of fulfilling his dreams, so he is happy no matter what he does. "So, is there any place you want to go?"

"That's right... Brother, I heard that our family is rich now?" Suddenly, Ayanami turned around and asked Xiao Ikari a question.

"Not bad!" Xiao Ikari nodded, then followed Ayanami's gaze... "Ayanami has really suffered a lot over the years... Well, Ayanami, can I give you a piece of clothing?"

"Oh?" Ayanami finally revealed a rare smile, but with a hint of teachability. "Shinji-kun really has good eyesight. Why, it seems like you were just pretending to be deaf and dumb before."

“Poverty limits many things…”

"Hey, what about me?"

"Oh, let's go." Do I owe you? - Yes, I owe you: "I will make sure that the two ladies have a good time today and have a good time."

The clothing store is a strange place, located on the Bund, in a European-style building, but it looks like it's been renovated? And inside, they sell cheongsams. This buff is a bit too much, and now Ayanami walks in.

"Hey, look at this—this suits me well, doesn't it?" Asuka truly has style... well, maybe it's just a hobby. Similar to Char, she holds a round peony fan and wears a fiery red short-sleeved cheongsam. This color combination looks much better—it makes Ikari feel like he's back in his dreams as an Angel.

This seems to have happened last week.

"Not bad," Xiao Ding commented. "I never thought a European-American mixed-race beauty could look so good in a cheongsam. Is this... a cultural difference?"

"Hahaha~" Although she was mixed-race, she actually had very few Asian features—she was the type with the best Eurasian genes. Asuka heard Ikari's praise, and of course, she dressed up to please herself.

"Not bad, you have good eyesight, you don't look like a real idiot." After praising Ikari in German, Asuka ran into the locker room: "Hey, top student~ Hurry up. Don't waste time - Hey, you are so beautiful, what are you doing! Come out quickly! -"

"Eh? —I haven't…"

Ayanami looked a little shy, wearing a white cheongsam. The style was similar to Asuka's, but it looked different on a girl with a different style. How should I put it...

When I replaced her, I was 14, and she was also 14. Now I am 30, and she is still 14.

"Ah..." Xiao Ikari suddenly sighed, which actually made Ayanami a little scared. Fortunately, Xiao Ikari added in time: "From now on, when you two return to Japan, don't take this out and wear it casually. If you do, I'm worried that Japan's public security will deteriorate. Ayanami... eh?"

The changing rooms are relatively secluded.

Maybe they've learned from the Uniqlo experience of the past two years, but the changing rooms here are much more discreet. It's basically just Ikari and the other two people there. "Um... and Asuka, cheongsams are very form-fitting, unlike kimonos... remember to wear your underwear."

"...Brother Shinji is really a pervert." Ayanami suddenly took a deep breath at this time, and looking at the eyes of Ikari in front of her that could not be moved away, she felt that she seemed to be quite happy. Happy is happy, diss is diss: "Brother Shinji, what do you want to say?"

Ayanami pressed on, finally pressing her body and face against Ikari Shinji's as she asked, "Are you thinking about something you shouldn't? Ah, theoretically, Shinji-nii isn't a very good brother—it's really uncomfortable to have a cousin like this who wants to have sex with your sister. It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"

"I...it's...nothing..."

"Hey, I really can't stand this drama of yours! Oedipus? Or Yosuga? - I know! What do you mean? It's so disgusting." Asuka finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood between the two of them: "Let's go to the next stop!"

Chapter 69: The last dream was not happy

Shinji Ikari doesn't have much of a streamer's soul, especially when he's with Ayanami and Asuka. Huh? Why did he have to sell his sister for fame and video traffic? Hey, he needs to eat.

But just because he doesn't have much of a host's soul doesn't mean others don't have it.

"Ah? Guys, this isn't a good idea... This is rare, but it looks like these are... foreigners, right? And they're kids. If I follow them and secretly take photos, that's not appropriate, right? I... oops, thanks to this boss for the rocket. But... thanks to this boss for the three rockets. I'll follow them right away."

I won't go into detail about how miserable the situation was for a small anchor, or an outdoor anchor at that. Anyway, how much of a bottom line did they have? It's really a question mark. Going back two years, even those who wanted to be famous had sex on live broadcasts (even if they were broadcasting in the morning, they would be arrested in the afternoon).

A young outdoor anchorman, who used to be a seldom-watched broadcaster on the Bund, was also not watched during the wild and competitive era of 15. He happened to capture two beautiful girls in cheongsams, dragging a handsome boy in a Chinese stand-up collar while they were shopping.

To be honest, the temperature was a bit high, and of course it was even hotter in the live broadcast room.

After receiving a mere few hundred yuan in tips, the streamer, spurred by the popularity and money, followed with his phone in hand. It was a candid photo shoot. I was taking pictures of the scenery and accidentally took a picture of you.

"Asuka! Wait, there are too many people." The Bund night view is really... Don't come during the holidays! The lighting effect of the riverside at night is magnificent, but it will be crowded.

"Oh no——" I was indeed almost separated by the crowd.

"Shinji-san, this is me..."

"Come here, both of you!" Xiao Ding looked quite slender, thankfully due to his regular exercise. Now, his strength was put to good use. He gathered the two even slender girls into his arms.

Xiao Ikari felt as if a gaze from the person beside him instantly materialized and hit him.

But that doesn't matter.

"Hold my hand tight and cross the sidewalk first - it will be better by the river." Xiao Ikari was really helpless at the moment - but he was also quite happy in his heart.

"Brother Shinji...are you happy hugging two girls together?" Ayanami asked a soul-searching question, her red eyes seemed to be a sign of death for Ikari.

"Uh... in a pinch, we have to make decisions. But Ayanami is right. She is indeed very happy." Ikari smiled awkwardly, then decided to open up: "Don't you feel it? It seems like we did this a long time ago... At least we once dreamed of doing this... Oh!"

"Who would have dreamed of such a thing! - Shinji Ikari, you big bastard!" The Japanese with a German accent glanced at Ikari and hit him on the chin with his head - then the three of them continued to huddle together and walked forward.

"Why are there so many Chinese people?" the German girl who grew up in the United States immediately asked, then looked at the scenery by the river and exclaimed, "Wow—this night view is so beautiful."

"Forty years ago, the other side was still full of country people." That's quite... well-spoken. Ikari patted Asuka on the head and said, "Without the hard work of so many people over several generations, how could such beautiful scenery be possible? Would you be accused of racial discrimination in America if you said that?"

"...Yes, but I'm a mixed-race person myself and have been discriminated against. Only niggers can call each other niggers, so I think there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"? A beautiful girl like you, who is on the same level as Li, is also being discriminated against?"

"Ha, what you said is... watertight, scumbag? - Nonsense, you think it's easy to be a 14-year-old genius girl? If you can't beat me, of course you have to discriminate against me - but unfortunately, academically, morally or in any other aspects, those rubbish can't do anything except secretly posting things saying I'm mixed-race or something like that." Asuka spoke proudly of some past events: "Compared to ordinary people, I have gained so much - standing so high that I can touch the difference between gods and mortals, so naturally I have to be intimidated by the power of gods. It's normal, there's nothing to complain about. The only thing that makes people sick is those disgusting people! If I catch them, I will sue them until they go bankrupt!"

"...I'll stop saying those nasty things." Just cherish the present moment. Looking at the world's currents, how can a ripple in the waters of spring? What does it have to do with Xiao Ding? "Ah, look, the drone show is about to start—Hey, don't move."

----------------------

"Alas... Brothers, I have to say... This world values ​​appearance."

Taking secret photos is a skill. Doing so in a crowd of this size is even more of a skill. Fortunately, everyone is holding up their phones these days, and with so many people around, there aren't many people who will notice. The problem is, the person being photographed can't see the photographer, and the photographer almost loses sight of them.

Shinji Ikari might miss the spy agency NERV in the last round, which was not to say non-existent but was better than nothing - at least it had the responsibility of protecting the pilots, and within the responsibility of protecting the pilots there was a small sub-item: keeping the pilots' identities confidential.

Although Ikari's first day of school last week clearly proved that NERV's intelligence agency was essentially garbage—it was, after all, a school-run operation. Like any child raised in a military compound, even if an atomic bomb went off, outsiders wouldn't necessarily know. Information was kept secret—anyone trying to sneak a photo of Ikari would be a slap in the face. If the pilot escaped, NERV would be able to track him down in just five hours.

Five hours is how long it took Ikari to escape after taking the public transportation system; as for Asuka... she was almost withdrawn and starved herself to the point of being unrecognizable, and NERV's spies only found her belatedly.

But it’s better than being photographed up close in this world.

If you look closely, you will see that there is actually more than one person holding up their phones and looking at Xiao Ding intentionally or unintentionally.

The live streaming industry is quite competitive - even if it's not live streaming, shooting short videos is also good.

Otherwise, do you think that the silly pictures you see on QQ, WeChat, and Moments are 100% taken with the consent of the people involved?

"Oh... thanks to this old friend for the rocket. How should I put it... I don't want to take pictures anymore. The young couple is so affectionate, but I just can't understand it. Why is this kid who looks like he's only in his teens hugging girls left and right... But guys, let's be honest, this guy is really good-looking. These two girls... How should I put it? Although it's not appropriate for an adult like me to say this, sometimes... Yes, the principal should be shot, but it's not entirely his fault."

Around 15, several principals were arrested for molesting underage female students. Popular phrases during those two years included "Three years of hard work, death penalty is a win" and "Don't blame the principal entirely." Not long after, the livestreaming voyeur was banned for a month for inappropriate comments, and when he returned, his popularity had completely faded.

"Ah—idiot Shinji, what's that over there?"

"Uh...?" Ikari narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Asuka pointed.

“I didn’t see anything.”
