Although, just tell me if it’s rock and roll enough!

[Yoshinoya? ]

Hai Mingli thought for a moment and finally understood what the other party was saying.

[You mean... the time when I was chased by the Phoenix Kawasaki duo this afternoon?]

Eh hey hey? The girl almost screamed through the phone. What kind of crappy nicknames are these?

Hai Mingli continued: [Tsk... that thing... was purely a helpless act]

Hai Mingli also knew that some things can only happen once, twice and never a third time, but while he was on the run, the ghost system suddenly gave him a task.

The task was simple - ask him to play a prank on two more people!

Hai Mingli: Fuck you.

There was no way, he couldn't beat the system, so he had to do it according to the system's instructions.

However, Hai Mingli has always said that he wanted to compensate the two of them, and this time he finally did it.

Of course, he couldn't reveal any information about the system to the girl. After thinking for a while, he replied helplessly: [You know what I mean? I was helpless.]

[you……]

This matter has passed. If there is a chance, Hai Mingli would like to apologize to the other party in person.

However... when I think about meeting in person, who knows if the system will release some weird tasks again!

Haiming thought about changing the subject and kept typing: [I am very sorry that I was not able to attend your last performance!]

Looking at Hai Mingli's reply, the girl's heart suddenly beat fast. Damn it, you clearly still remember this matter, why don't you come!

The girl looked up and saw the girl she had abducted was sleeping soundly. How could she know that today's performance would be her last.

From now on, if you want to listen to your own songs, you can only do so through the CD in your hand.

[You also know...]

[Are you kidding?] Hai Mingli typed on her phone [If I hadn’t been chased by those two guys, I would have come to your scene to cheer you on!]

[Ha, forget it, then don’t come]

You'd better focus on attracting my fire and lure those two guys away from the square, so that I can perform well alone.

The girl put down her phone, laid down on the newly built floor, and stared at the sky with lifeless eyes.

Well...goodbye!

"Buzzing..."

The phone made a loud noise, almost waking the girl up. Kawahara Momoka got startled and quickly stood up and ran away holding the phone.

The girl trotted out the door and made sure that she would not disturb the sleeping Jing Qinrencai before she dared to answer the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you?" The girl almost yelled, "You call me so late at night, you should at least get some help."

"Shh...keep your voice down."

Hai Mingli fiddled with the music equipment in the bar. "My music equipment here is very expensive. If you keep making noise, what if the spirits of my equipment get upset?"

Huh? The girl was almost unable to hold back her anger, and started to curse, "Can you try to make up some more nonsense?"

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Hai Mingli fiddled with the equipment in his hand, "You said today is your last performance, right?"

"……Correct."

"What the hell!"

Hai Mingli said mercilessly: "You like Ershoumeigui and have collected a lot of Ershoumeigui records, right?"

"..."

The girl glanced at the phone suspiciously. There was no eavesdropping device installed on the phone. How did this guy know?

The abstract young man said in a mean way: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

You know what, imitating the dean's speech is really cool.

"...Tell me," Kawaharaki Momoka said helplessly, "What do you want me to do?"

"My bar is opening tomorrow and I need a guest singer," Hai Mingli took a breath and then said slowly, "Friend, how about tomorrow being your last performance?"

"..."

The girl was wavering. She had made sufficient mental preparation for today's performance, and had made meticulous adjustments to everything from song selection to rhythm and even some of the lyrics.

She said it was her last performance, so naturally she put all her energy into it.

"...I know that as the original lead singer of Diamond Stardust, your performing career is over."

Hai Mingli continued, "But don't you think that if you put on a mask and change your name, no one will recognize you?"

Hai Mingli also did the same thing as trying his best to sing the final eulogy of life. In the last performance before leaving the band, Hai Mingli believed that his musical career had reached its peak.

But as someone who has lived on music till now, Hai Mingli believes that...there is no peak in life. It's just like climbing up a small hill and feeling that you have reached the top.

Mount Everest still stands tall.

"In a word, come here and I'll pay you a salary," Hai Mingli continued, "Aren't you a fan of Ershoumeigui? I have a collection of Ershoumeigui here, would you like to take a look?"

(ps: book recommendation)

The most wretched episode of anime

(Although, the author of this book really matches the title of the book...no derogatory meaning)

Volume 1 Wow! : Chapter 67 Landlord Boss You know, I love to listen to fun the most

"..."

The girl gritted her teeth and repeated Hai Mingli's words in her mind - the souvenirs from Second Hand Rose, and the salary for the performance...

Of course, these are enough to open the girl's heart. After all, she is the one who is short of money now, and she is also a fan of Ershoumeigui. Hai Mingli's conditions are indeed a great temptation to her.

But... why does this guy's tone at the end make people so unhappy?

What does it mean to have a new beginning by changing a headgear and a title?

Have you ever played in a band before? How dare you say that!

"It's just a crappy show!" Kawaharaki Momoka said loudly, "It's going to be at the City of Music Bar tomorrow afternoon, right? I'll be there on time!"

"Okay," Hai Mingli shouted into the phone, "I've opened my device for you, come if you can!"

The girl hung up the phone angrily. It was just a crappy show. I'll kill them all for you!

Hai Mingli also put down the phone, looked at the girl's number on the phone, and suddenly he burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'm calling him! I still have to use the method of provoking him."

Hai Mingli chuckled. With just that little salary and the microphone he brought back from Ershoumeigui, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep Kawaharaki Momoka around, and she would never come to perform.

However, now it seems that my "one big stick and one candy" approach actually did not cause her to dislike me, and I was able to trick her into coming over.

Earn money with blood!

hiss……

Seeing that the equipment had been debugged, Hai Mingli got up with difficulty and subconsciously turned on the system.

[Abstract system completed, successfully tricked two people]

[Mission Reward: 6000 yen]

Tsk, Hai Mingli was a little disgusted. Why is he giving money again?

It was a bit of a pity. Although he was indeed short of money now, he wanted to see what other surprises this broken system could bring him.

"Forget it, let's go back."

Reluctantly shutting down the system, Hai Mingli cleaned up the bar, then closed the door and hurried home in small steps.

……

When I got home, I saw the landlord squatting at the door of his room. He looked worried, as if something had happened.

hiss……

Hai Mingli asked tentatively: "Uncle landlord, what's wrong with you?"

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly became alert: "I remember I just paid your rent yesterday. What's going on? Do I owe you utility bills?"

"...That's not true."

The landlord said helplessly: "It's a pity, there is a silly child who has no place to stay tonight..."

Hai Mingli's curiosity suddenly piqued. He approached him nervously and asked, "What kind of guy can make you call him stupid? Tell me quickly so that I can hear it."

"Um……"

After taking a look at Hai Mingli who wanted to have some fun, the landlord said unhappily, "It's none of your business. You should go back if you want."

"……Row."

Seeing that the landlord didn't say who this person was, Hai Mingli suddenly lost interest. He turned around, opened the door and walked in.

A few minutes later, he came out with a blanket and covered the landlord with it.

The landlord didn't expect Hai Mingli to do this. He looked at him in a daze and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hai Mingli said unhappily, "I'm afraid you'll be cold, is that not okay?"

"..."

After hearing what Hai Mingli said, the landlord was silent for a moment, then rolled up the blanket and suddenly said:

"Even if you hand me a blanket, I still won't give you a discount on the rent."

"……hiss"

Hai Mingli looked at him speechlessly, "Landlord, what are you thinking about?"

Really? The landlord scratched his graying hair. Is Hai Mingli really so kind?

You usually owe rent!

Speechless, Hai Mingli walked into the room. Seeing this, the landlord suddenly stopped him.

"Don't you want to know who this silly kid I'm talking about is?"

hiss……

Hai Mingli sat down next to the landlord and said, "Please tell me in detail."

Sure enough, the landlord gave Hai Mingli a cold look and said, "You kid really likes to listen to jokes."

"Ahem," the landlord coughed twice, "I'm about to start talking!"

"Hurry up and tell me," Hai Mingli was a little speechless, "I have to go back to sleep after listening to the fun."

"I rented the room next to yours to a girl from Kumamoto Prefecture. She said she would come to hand over the house today, but she passed the station and didn't make it. When she arrived, the agency had already closed."

"Wait," Hai Mingli heard a word and hurriedly called the landlord to stop, "Kumamoto Prefecture?"

The landlord glanced at Hai Mingli and asked, "What's wrong?"

Of course, Hai Mingli nodded. The place where he was on his last mission, the hometown of Isen Renna and Hina, was in Kumamoto Prefecture.

If they are locals, they should be attending the same high school as Hai Mingli. When he meets them, he can ask about the whereabouts of the two girls.

Thinking of this, Hai Mingli waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you continue."

The landlord took over the conversation and said, "I just received a call from a neighbor, saying that the kid came here specially to see if there was a spare key, but he couldn't find it after searching the switch room for a long time."

"Isn't that nonsense?" Hai Mingli was a little speechless, "Boss, you didn't even give me a spare key!"

"..."

The boss glanced at Hai Mingli, then reached out and tapped him on the back of his head. "There are only two keys to this house. What should I do if I give them to you? If you die in the room one day, I will have to break down the door and drag you out, right?"

It seems... there's nothing wrong.

Hai Mingli held the back of his head and nodded repeatedly, "That's indeed the truth, please continue."

The landlord went on to say, "I rushed over as soon as I got the call, but when I arrived, the child had put his luggage with the neighbor who called and ran away."

"..." Hai Mingli commented, "It's really tragic..."
