Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

[Next settlement time: 60 days]

[System funds will be replenished soon, target amount: 2000W]

【System funds are being replenished...】

Chapter 55: Students’ mission is to study!

【System funds replenished. 】

【System funds: 2000W (↑1396.72W)】

[As a professional agency, how can you only have one band? 】

[Please successfully form a second band within this period and hold the first live show. ]

Although he was mentally prepared that the number would increase, when Lin Yi saw the number of 20 million, he couldn't help but gasp.

He has been working very hard to spend money in the past two months, but he has only spent less than 20 million.

It is not easy to spend the 20 million yuan in itself. Add to that the subsequent income from the end of the band, how much money will he have to spend before he loses it all?

But think about it from another perspective. Although the difficulty of losing money has increased, the corresponding gains have also greatly increased.

And even if you can't lose all of it, losing 10 million is okay.

Man proposes, God disposes. The six million earned in this period has already proved his strength. Just relax, there is nothing to worry about.

There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well think about what to do with the second band.

Lin Yi thought of Crychic, the two shop assistants at Yoshinoya in Kawasaki, and a few names he discovered during the previous live show.

We have to start with these people.

"But the deadline for forming the second band is two months, and there is no requirement for live performances, so don't be in a hurry, just enjoy it first."

Lin Yi issued a declaration of slacking off.

Recruiting band members is a matter of fate. You can't be impatient. There's no point in being impatient.

Lin Yi simply washed up, bought a sandwich at the convenience store downstairs, and walked leisurely towards the office.

The computer accessories haven't been delivered yet, so I'll have to make do with the office's equipment for the next few days.

Before it was because the equipment was too poor, but now that I have replaced it with top-level equipment, shouldn’t it be easy to become a myth?

Lin Yi casually threw the plastic packaging of Sanming food into the trash can, wiped the corner of his mouth, and pushed the door open to walk into the office.

Yes, none of his small staff are working…wait!

Lin Yi found something wrong.

I saw three beautiful girls crowded in front of the synthesizer and effects pedals, chattering in front of the monitor.

It was normal for Taoxiang to be here, after all, she had no schooling, and a special practice room was built in the office.

But what was going on between Xiangzi and Rencai so early in the morning?

Lin Yi looked at the three people immersed in the discussion without saying a word. He just walked up to them quietly, then put his hands on the shoulders of the two girls and asked with a smile.

"I say...shouldn't you two be in school right now?"

The sudden whisper in their ears and the touch on their shoulders startled the two girls, and Renna even stood up from her seat.

"Lin Yi!" Xiangzi said to Lin Yi coquettishly, and after calming down, he explained: "The school has a sports meeting today, so I asked for leave."

As a true top student, it was extremely easy for Xiangzi to take leave.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Xiangzi subconsciously reached out to put his hair behind his ears and said happily: "Lin Yi! The song licensing was negotiated this morning. The licensing fee is 6 million, which is 1 million higher than what we negotiated last night!"

It would have been fine if Xiangzi didn't mention it, but he got furious when he mentioned Lin Yi.

But when Lin Yi looked at Xiaoxiang, who was smiling like a flower and looking for praise, he nodded cooperatively.

"Not bad, you are worthy of being my trusted assistant."

After praising him, Lin Yi changed the subject and said with great sorrow: "But Xiangzi, as my assistant, how can you openly violate the firm's rules? The firm's working hours are 9 o'clock. You, as a leader, come to work early. What should the ordinary employees do?"

Xiangzi looked puzzled: "But Lin Yi, the firm just doesn't encourage overtime, it didn't say it's forbidden, right?"

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but soon found a new reason.

"Well... let's not talk about overtime for now. Xiangzi, you are a student first, and my assistant second. Your main job is to study, right?"

"Taking leave from school to come to the office is simply putting the cart before the horse. It's not right at all!"

"Don't do this again, Xiangzi. If I find you working during school hours again, I'll deduct your salary!"

Xiangzi opened his mouth to refute, but seeing Lin Yi's serious face, who didn't seem to be joking at all, he held back his rebuttal.

"Oh, I understand..." Xiangzi responded somewhat aggrievedly.

However, although Xiangzi felt a little aggrieved subjectively, he was still very moved objectively.

Because she knew that Lin Yi was just talking about deducting her salary, and his main purpose was to let her go to school well.

After solving Xiangzi's problem, Lin Yi looked at Rencai, who was older than Xiangzi but actually looked more like a child.

He asked with a straight face, "What's wrong with you, Niina? I remember your goal was to successfully enter school, right?"

Knowing she couldn't escape, Rencai lowered her head and explained, "The cram school is quite free, and I'm just afraid of holding everyone back."

Lin Yi's face turned dark.

Freedom, freedom. If you want freedom so much, you might as well start the Rumbling.

Lin Yi was too lazy to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "You two should study hard! Xiangzi, aren't your grades very good? Go and help Rencai with her homework."

After these words were spoken, the three people present looked at Lin Yi in confusion.

Lin Yi turned his head.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Xiangzi rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Lin Yi, I am in the third year of junior high school this year, and Rencai is already a high school student."

At this time, Rencai looked at Lin Yi in a rather impolite manner.

Although Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, he remained calm and collected.

"Is that so... Haha, Xiangzi can't help with homework, but he can teach you some study skills. These things are universal."

"Anyway, now is the time to study, don't do anything work-related!"

Faced with Lin Yi's uncompromising attitude, Xiangzi and Rencai looked at each other and quickly completed their communication.

They both stood up at the same time, picked up their things and went to a separate room in the office. Lin Yi even heard the "click" sound of the door being locked.

Alas... It's really not easy to be a boss nowadays. Not only do you have to find ways to lose money, but you also have to compete with problem girls in wits and courage.

It’s good like this now, at least out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Yi thought about this and turned his head, and saw Tao Xiang leaning on the table with her elbows, smiling.

Lin Yi frowned and said: "And you Taoxiang, don't think that you will be alright if I don't say anything about you!"

"Huh?" Taoxiang felt that she had suffered an unexpected disaster and asked, "What's wrong with me? I didn't ask them to come!"

Lin Yi said earnestly: "Taoxiang, you are the oldest one in the band, you must take the lead."

"Even though you dropped out of school, they still have to study!"

The smile on Taoxiang's face gradually froze, and she felt like she was being attacked.

Chapter 56: Familiar Musical Instruments Store, New Pink-haired Guitarist

"None of my four teammates has a positive record, and their combined kills are less than mine! Is this game playable?"

When the score came to 3-12, Lin Yi, who had just completed a 1V4 endgame, pressed TAB, took a look, cursed a few words, and then decisively gave up on unpacking and chose a quick pain.

With a loud bang, the game came to an end. The tortured Lin Yi decisively pressed ALT+F4 to exit the game.

Looking at the time 16:00 in the lower right corner and his score which was decreasing instead of increasing, Lin Yi stood up angrily.

No more playing! Go home after get off work!

Lin Yi pressed the power off button, put on his coat and prepared to go home.

Because schools in Japan usually finish around three o'clock, Aine, Nijika, and Ryo have already arrived at the office and started their daily practice.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't need to keep an eye on such things, so he walked away in a carefree manner, without any burden.

Lin Yi deliberately chose a slightly roundabout route to go home today, firstly to calm his bad mood due to his poor ranking, and secondly to go to the supermarket to stock up on some food.

Although Lin Yi seldom cooks for himself after traveling through time, as a qualified old master, his cooking skills are actually not bad. Friends and relatives all say that the food he cooks is good.

And to put it bluntly, as the boss of the firm, Lin Yi is thinking about how to lose money every day, which is actually not a serious job. Cooking by himself is just to find something to do.

As he walked, Lin Yi passed by a very familiar musical instrument store.

That was the starting point of destiny, where he and Chihaya Aine met.

If he hadn't met Aiyin at that time, Lin Yi, a time traveler with a system, would probably have to condescend to work.

Just as Lin Yi was looking at the store door with emotion, a pink figure walked out of the store.

Long pink hair, pink sportswear and sports pants, a giggle bag on the back, and a short skirt worn over the sports pants.

Lin Yi almost mistook the girl for Aine at first, but he quickly realized that he was wrong.

First of all, this girl's chest is much stronger than Aine's.

Secondly...

【Goto Ichiri】

The system has already told Lin Yi the name of this girl.

I saw Goto Ichiri walking out of the music store with his head lowered and his back hunched, holding a plastic bag in his hand and walking cautiously on the road.

Why should we be cautious?

When Goto Ichiri walks on the street, she never looks at others, and when she meets others, she is always the one who gives way.

What’s more crucial is the strong smell of social phobia that Lin Yi smelled from her, there’s no doubt about it!

Lin Yi had an inexplicable premonition that if Aiyin was the core of the band, then this girl named Goto Ichiri might be able to become the core of the new band!

This musical instrument store is truly the birthplace of his Nebula Office!

Lin Yi even wanted to make a banner and give it to the shop owner.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly followed Goto Ichiri.

……

Walking on the streets of Ikebukuro, Goto Ichiri looked down at the fashionable boys and girls coming and going, listening to their laughter, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Goto Ichiri, a socially anxious and dark dual-type Pokémon, cannot survive in scenes with a strong sense of reality.

She decided to go out today because three conditions were met.

1. The guitar strings are broken.

2. There is no stock at home.

3. Her family members are all busy with other things and no one can help her.

4. I have a cover song to record tonight, it’s urgent.

If it weren't for the above reasons, Goto Ichiri would definitely not come here today.

Now she just wanted to go home quickly, get into the familiar closet, and replenish her Pochi energy.

But at this moment, a tall figure blocked Goto Ichiri's side. Just as she was about to go around him, she heard a gentle and passionate voice coming from his mouth.

"Student, is that a guitar on your back? Are you a guitarist?"

Faced with the sudden question, Goto Ichiri subconsciously took two steps back, then secretly glanced at the other person through his thick bangs.

Ah... What a tall and handsome man, is he talking to me?

Impossible, right? If a handsome man like him wanted to, he could probably change his girlfriend every day, right?

After seeing the confused little stars in Goto Ichiri's deep blue eyes, Lin Yi repeated the question he had just asked.
