I will never give in to Miss Death

Soon after, sparse applause filled the entire coffee shop, causing several customers who were originally playing with the cat inside and drinking coffee on the second floor to run out and stop to watch.

I was the only one who kept repeating to myself: "Xiao Mo... don't use magic in front of Muggles."

"how did you do that?"

Staring at the "crowbar" in Yin Xiamo's hand, the physics duck opened his mouth wide: "You are not really a magician, are you?"

"Do you like it? If you do, since you have been subscribing to Nuoer's novels over the years..."

Yin Xiamo handed the crowbar to Physics Duck: "This is for you."

"what?"

"You can also use it to infect your friends and turn them into loyal followers of Cthulhu."

As if doing something very ordinary, Yin Xiamo forced the crowbar into the hand of Physics Duck, then grabbed his hand, controlled the stick to turn to Bing Ling next to him, and "tied" his stomach.

"Ow!"

Bing Ling felt pained: "You...what are you doing!"

Then, with a "bang", a grenade tied with a bow fell from between Bing Ling's legs to the ground.

Many customers around had already taken out their mobile phones and started recording.

"Universe CQC Blasphemy Grenade."

Bending down to pick up the grenade, Yin Xiamo threw it casually -

"boom!"

The grenade exploded in mid-air, spraying a large amount of confetti.

A nearby sweeping robot with a cat lying on it sensed the garbage and moved towards the scraps with the cat in its arms.

"This this!"

Bing Ling's eyes widened. He touched his stomach that was hit by the crowbar and checked his pants: "Is he really a magician?"

"Such weapons are not suitable for you humans to use."

It passed through the Physics Duck's hand so fast that it was almost invisible. The next second, the crowbar in the boy's hand disappeared. Yin Xiamo came back behind me and seemed to grab a piece of hair on my head. "I don't have a pigeon, but I can conjure other props, such as this..."

After saying that, Yin Xiamo seemed to fiddle with something above my head. Amid the exclamations of "Wow", "Oh", and "Awesome" from the customers around her, Yin Xiamo came back to me with a rose in her hand, and then knelt on one knee in front of me: "Mr. Brave, marry me!"

"Clap clap clap..."

"Too strong, are all maids nowadays so omnipotent?"

"He can do magic, haha, today's trip was not in vain!"

"Promise her, promise her! Nuo'er, please promise Sister Xia Mo!"

"..."

This farce soon ended in a cheerful atmosphere.

I guided Bing Ling and Physics Duck to the chairs where Tong Tong and Maple had sat before, and helped them set up a table for two.

"I... Nuo'er, I am guilty. I shouldn't have teased you and said bad things about you in the group before."

When giving them the menu, Physics Duck was still playing tricks: "I'll go and reward your novel, so that your Miss Death will let me go..."

"Don't come here."

I rolled my eyes at this guy and said, "I'll be thankful if you can subscribe to my book on time every day so that I can see better data after reading it..."

As he was speaking, the sound of "Ding Dong! Welcome" came from the door again.

"You two take a look at the menu first, I'll go and receive the guests."

"welcome!"

I hurried towards the door, and when I saw someone coming in, I stumbled and almost fell.

This...what?

The person who came in was a little foreign girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a doll costume similar to the one worn by the protagonist in "Bears in Another World". Although there were many people wearing cosplay in the coffee shop at this time, her somewhat bulky and strange costume was still particularly eye-catching.

"Ah, you are Noel, right? I'm Xiong Xiong, the one in the group, from a small country."

As I watched, the blonde girl spoke in a clear, bright voice with a foreign accent:

"Originally, my ship had already arrived, but I saw in the group that there was a comic convention party going on here, so I bought my favorite outfit and came here. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to you."

"..."

……

No, 125 Happiness is theirs, but I have Xia Mo

Xiongxiong joined the group about two months after my novel was put on the shelves.

During that period, after my QQ group experienced the pirated website incident and the blasting incident, the conditions for joining the group were changed to requiring readers to send a subscription screenshot after joining the group. So it can be confirmed that the girl who joined the group at that time was a real reader.

But I don't really know much more specific information about this person.

Xiongxiong's QQ avatar is Yuna, the protagonist of the anime "Xiongxiong Bravely Enters Another World". This anime tells the story of a very wealthy stay-at-home beautiful girl who does not have to go to school or work every day and has endless money to spend. She is a hardcore player of a certain game. Then one day she traveled through time and space to a world similar to the game, and obtained the Xiongxiong suit. The appearance looks like the kind of dolls that hand out flyers on the street, but Yuna's suit shows her face.

In the other world with system, the bear suit is also bound to the protagonist. Just looking at her own character panel and the bear suit, Yuna is basically invincible in that world.

Time-travel novels like this have actually been written to death in our world... at least in our country, they have long been written to death by online writers. According to the routine classification, they are time travel + online games + invincibility + pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. But the advantage of this kind of novel is that even if it is written to death, there are still people who read it. After all, we humans have descendants. If a novel routine is written to death and old bookworms are tired of it or don't like it, it doesn't matter. There will always be new readers whose families have just been allowed to buy new mobile phones or who are encountering this kind of subject matter for the first time.

Moreover, the main theme of the anime "Bears in Another World" is not the invincibility in the other world, but the queen of ten thousand female harems.

When I watched this anime before, the only feeling I had about the heroine can really be summed up in three words: "The Queen of Ten Thousand Females"... Traveling through time, meeting a girl, collecting a harem, going to the girl's house, hearing that the city lord has a daughter, collecting, the story continues, um, this little sister is so cute? Oh, madam, you also have a daughter?

What’s amazing is that since the anime started airing, I haven’t come across any netizen who uses the heroine as his avatar. Xiongxiong is the first one.

So when she first joined the group, I felt a strong sense of déjà vu and aura when I saw this avatar for the first time, and I vaguely felt that this reader was not simple.

Xiongxiong usually seldom speaks in the group, which is a far cry from the Bingling Duck who killed all of Kirito and the others, but he always manages to "make a splash".

For example, one day the group was discussing where in the world there was a war, and whether a certain city had not been visited for a long time and whether it was really gone. Xiong Xiong suddenly popped up and posted a few photos: "Fortunately, it was not that exaggerated. They just fired two shots to serve as a warning. The shells went off course and blew up two unfinished buildings. The commanders of both sides have now sat together to discuss a peace agreement."

The people in the group asked her where she got the photos and whether she was trying to trick her brothers. Xiong Xiong said, "My uncle was on a helicopter in that city and he sent them back to me."

Things like this happen once or twice a month on average over the years.

What surprised the group members the most was that around December last year, this Xiong Xiong posted a lot of high-definition pictures of penguins and icebergs in the group. When asked, she said that she had traveled to Antarctica.

This was undoubtedly a huge shock to a "shut-in" like me who had barely left Kamihama City.

Furthermore, it seems that Xiongxiong has not only joined the book club of my book. A group member once said that he had seen her in the book club groups of several books on Yaedang Novel Network. This person prefers novels with different world themes, and she is almost the same in other groups... She doesn’t talk much at ordinary times, and only pops up when she sees a topic that interests her. Both her tone and attitude give people a very humble feeling, but every time she speaks, it makes people feel that "this person is a big shot."

What I didn't expect was that this person actually came on the opening day of the coffee shop.

What I didn’t expect was that the real Xiong Xiong was a foreigner, or... a mixed-race?

At least based on the information we have obtained from the group so far, and the words "my ship" she said, it is enough to prove that this Xiong Xiong is not from our country.

So she is really a foreign boss? She went through immigration procedures just to come to the cafe in Kamihama City today? She even drove her "own boat" over the sea?

Why do I suddenly feel like there are a bunch of rich people around me? Pipi is a rich man, Su Yunjin is a rich man, Xiongxiong is a rich man, and I am the only one who remains poor throughout the whole process...

"raging?"

Sure enough, after listening to the introduction of the little blonde girl outside the door, Bing Ling and Physics Duck, who were previously placed by me at the table by the window, turned around and asked, "Is it the bear in the group?"

"Hello."

Xiong Xiong at the door waved his heavy "bear paw" and greeted the two boys.

“It’s so cool here.”

After walking in from the door, the girl who called herself Xiong Xiong looked around the lobby of the coffee shop. She seemed to glance at the camera above the main door, the kitchen, the cat living area, and the customer dining area. Finally, her eyes fell on me: "Do you have anything to eat here? I'm a little hungry."

"Eh?"

I was stunned at first, but then I quickly came to my senses: "Ah...um...Xiongxiong, do you prefer a seat by yourself, or a more lively one?"

I turned around and pointed to Bing Ling and Duck in the back, as well as a few single-player positions not far away: "Those over there are Bing Ling and Physics Duck, the ones who often play games together in the group, as well as Kirito and Maple. They...they should be petting cats in the cat area now."

Because Xiongxiong seldom speaks in the group and is very modest, I have chatted with her very rarely. Relatively speaking, I don’t know her as well as Bingling Duck and the others, and I am not very clear about what her temper is like.

All I know is that this person has a very mysterious background, and I've never seen her use words like "angry" or "happy" or "excited" to express herself.

As a waiter, facing these unfamiliar customers, I decided to handle the matter in a businesslike manner.

Most of the customers who come to the coffee shop are groups of two or three. Plus, it's not the peak dining time now, and there are still many single-person seats in the store. There would definitely be no problem in setting aside a separate seat for Xiongxiong. If she prefers the hustle and bustle and making friends, then it's not impossible to move the single-seat chair to Bingling's side.

"Eh? Aren't they together?"

Under my curious gaze, the girl who called herself Xiongxiong looked at Bingling and Yazi: "I thought Bingling Yazi and the guy who killed all the Kirito were from the same dormitory. It seems that these three people in the group play games together every day."

"Kirito and Maple are in the same dormitory."

I explained: "Bingling and Ya seem to be in different cities."

To be honest, I myself did not expect that so many people would come to this so-called "book friends meeting", even the most mysterious "Xiong Xiong" in the reader group came.

I originally thought that no one would care about things like this, and even if something happened, at most the initiator would call his roommates to join in the fun.

Like the previous offline rights protection activities of authors, the group had 200 people, and it was a large and active group. The authors who joined the group were basically active on the Internet because of the special nature of their profession. Everyone discussed it together for several days, but in the end only a few people came.

The most important thing is that the author’s offline rights protection actions are “profitable”.

Authors gather offline to ask for their overdue royalties. If they come, they may get the money and can clearly see the "rewards".

Under such circumstances, for a website as large as Yaedo, only a few dozen people are willing to take the time to attend the offline meeting.

As for the offline meeting of the novel readers, it is a small group with only about 200 to 300 members, but in fact more than 100 of them are lurking and only 50 people are active every day. What's the point of holding an offline meeting?

Can you get to know me as the "author"?

Anyway, I don’t believe that my charm as the “Shangjing Coffee House’s Signature Maid” can be so great that it can attract a lot of people to give up their jobs, classes, holidays and rest days, and drive for several hours to come and “meet” with me.

Please, car ride is so tiring!

Times are different now, and the pace of life is extremely fast. If it were in the early 2000s, people were still very simple, and society as a whole was still at a relatively slow pace. People had more time to rest every day, and holidays were also "full of blood". It was also an era where "men had to be thick-skinned to chase women". Pretty girls in ordinary colleges and universities could indeed attract boys from other schools to pursue them crazily, and they would receive all kinds of small notes and love letters in their drawers. But if it were in today's society...

Chasing girls? Impossible. Please don't disturb me and Jie Ge playing video games.

Love letters have become history, and the term "school belle" is no longer mentioned by people - so what if the girls in a certain grade or class are pretty? Early love is prohibited in high schools, and it is better to play games with brothers than to pursue a girlfriend in college. After entering the society, I am exhausted from work every day, and I finally have a vacation to rest, but you make me sit in the car for several hours just to go to a coffee shop to chat and see pretty girls?

Ouyang Xue is well aware of the fast-paced life people lead nowadays, so she did not use "you can flirt with the maids" as the entry point for the coffee shop's promotional video, but instead focused on promoting "there are such cute maids serving you when you come to the store, there are so many kittens to pet, there are plenty of food, and it is very cheap, clean and affordable."

The food at the Shangjing Cat Café is indeed very cheap, and despite being extremely cheap, the service and environment are comparable to those of a luxury hotel, which is why it attracts so many customers.

An average family of three comes in and orders a steamed chicken with soup, two servings of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and if the children like, two fried chicken wings or cola chicken wings, an egg tart, and a cup of Coke. All together, the cost is just over 100 yuan, or 30 to 40 yuan per person on average. The food is delicious and affordable, so naturally many people come.

"Oh, so they are not together. It seems I misunderstood."

In the coffee shop, after listening to my explanation, Xiongxiong scratched his head with his "bear paw" and said: "Sorry, I'm a bit busy recently, and I'm not very well-informed about the information in the group."

The group is not well-informed?

I believe you are a foreigner, this grammar does have that flavor.

"Then I'll sit with them and see if there's anything to eat..."

He walked a few steps towards Bing Ling, and as if he remembered something, the "Xiong Xiong" beside him said, "Oh, by the way, I brought you some small gifts. They are outside and should be here by now."

small gift?

While I was wondering, I saw Ouyang Xue, who was busy on the second floor, walked out of the door while answering the phone.

"Well, I'm here."

"Are you here? I'll be out now, wait a moment."

Ok?

"Any Cola?"

I was still in a daze when the bear next to me patted me with his paw and said, "I'm a little thirsty. It would be best if you could add some ice cubes."

"There are some."

I turned around quickly: "Coca-Cola?"

"Yes."

Xiong Xiong laughed and seemed very talkative: "Don't be so nervous, I'll go talk to them first, you can just do what you usually do."
