Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

Shirley was knocking on the kitchen door.

"Little sister, just a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Mingmei swayed her waist in a "two-three-three" motion, urging Lin Xiaofeng to hurry up.

Lin Xiaofeng understood, and decided to give all the happiness to Mingmei, not daring to let Miss Shirley go hungry.

Sherry returned to the living room, and soon after, Lin Xiaofeng and Miyano Akemi came out of the kitchen.

As the delicious-looking dishes were laid out on the table, Shirley's face lit up with a smile.

"It's been so long since I've tasted my sister's cooking."

Shirley picked up her chopsticks and tasted her sister's cooking, which was impeccable, especially with Lin Xiaofeng helping out.

"Is it good, Shiho?"

"Delicious!"

“If it’s delicious, eat more!”

"Ah."

Shirley was very happy; she was tired of eating the lab's meals every day.

The three of them were enjoying their dinner.

Yukiko and Shizuka returned carrying large and small bags.

"Oh? There's a guest."

"Who could it be? Could it be that Xiaofeng has found us new sisters again?"

Lin Xiaofeng invited his two older sisters to have dinner together.

The two women waved their hands, saying, "We've already eaten."

Shirley turned her head and looked at the two women with curiosity. One was a blonde beauty in a fashionable Western dress, and the other was a black-haired beauty in a traditional kimono. Both women were extremely beautiful, the kind that would leave anyone, regardless of gender, stunned by their beauty.

"Lin Xiaofeng, that scoundrel, is really lucky to have found two such beautiful married women as his girlfriends, it's unbelievable!"

Shirley couldn't help but complain.

Lin Xiaofeng introduced Shirley to the two women.

"Shiho Miyano, Akemi Miyano's younger sister."

Upon learning that Sherry was Miyano Akemi's younger sister, the two women greeted Sherry warmly and specifically warned her that Lin Xiaofeng was a despicable and shameless scumbag, and that she should never fall for his tricks. As for themselves, they were already too deeply involved to escape.

Shirley could only chuckle at this.

That night, Sherry stayed at the Kudo house and slept with Miyano Akemi, as she always had. The sisters were very close, so Lin Xiaofeng decided not to disturb them.

At this moment, Yukiko and Shizuka had changed into the new lingerie they bought while shopping and were showing it to Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng said it was a very nice day, another day full of happiness.

……

The following day, Mantendo held a game demo exhibition at the Beika Hotel in Beika Town, which also served as the venue for Mantendo's new game launch event.

Lin Xiaofeng and the others arrived at a fairly late time, but when they did, the entire lobby of the press conference was already packed with people.

A large red carpet was laid out on the floor, and a long line of people waiting to store their belongings stretched from the one-meter line in front of the counter all the way to the elevator exit. A huge red banner was held high above the counter.

"Kogoro Mouri's Mystery Mansion? He himself will be there to interact with fans?"

Someone glanced at the large banner above the reception desk and immediately wore the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway. In that instant, he understood why there were so many people waiting at the counter in the lobby to drop off their packages.

Many people are here because of the name of the Sleeping Detective Kogoro Mouri! But seriously, can the quality of a game made by piggybacking on the popularity of a celebrity really be guaranteed?

Lin Xiaofeng had deep doubts.

On the contrary, Miyano Akemi, who had never been interested in games, was very excited. However, considering that she was in front of her younger sister, she could not be too blatant. She could only hold Lin Xiaofeng's clothes with one hand and hold her sister's hand with the other, looking around with amazement on her pretty face.

"Wow, amazing! So many people!"

"Well, I guess about 60% of them are fans of that Mori Detective," Lin Xiaofeng added casually, while also looking around.

"Huh? Why?" Mingmei was taken aback. "I remember you saying that Full Paradise was a very powerful game company, didn't you?"

“That’s true.” Lin Xiaofeng paused, his tone becoming lazy. “However, there’s a strange consensus in the gaming industry that games adapted from big IP comics are almost always garbage. The audience for those games is the die-hard fans of the IP. To put it bluntly, those things are more like religious commodities than products of the ninth art. Some people care more about their existence than their quality.”

"Is it... that bad?" Akemi asked, looking embarrassed.

“I don’t know about the other players, but at least if I were alone, and after knowing what the new game is like, I definitely wouldn’t come,” Lin Xiaofeng shrugged.

“Hmm…” Akemi looked a little aggrieved.

However, Lin Xiaofeng's next words instantly brightened the girl's mood.

"However, it's a different story if you're playing with friends. More important than the quality of the game itself is who you're playing with."

"Really?!" The girl's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's right," Lin Xiaofeng said.

377. Sherry, the female boxer

Lin Xiaofeng gestured towards the distance, and Mingmei and Shirley immediately looked in the direction he gestured.

In a secluded spot in the crowded lobby, the impeccably dressed detective Mouri leaned against the wall, head bowed, his face a picture of hangover.

And unsurprisingly, Conan, with his hands on his head and a speechless expression, was standing next to Kogoro Mouri.

"Ah~ that's the famous detective Kogoro Mouri who's always on the news!" Akemi immediately realized.

"Hmph~" Lin Xiaofeng smiled without saying a word.

Conan noticed Lin Xiaofeng and immediately ran towards him. Although he disliked Lin Xiaofeng, Lin Xiaofeng was much more interesting than Kogoro Mouri, which was better than being with Kogoro Mouri.

"Hello, little detective. We meet again." Shirley greeted him.

"Sister Sherry, Brother Xiaofeng, you're here!" Conan was surprised to see Miyano Akemi. "Huh, Akemi-neechan is here too."

"What? Can't I come, Conan?"

"No, it's just that I rarely see you."

Conan chuckled.

Suddenly, Conan saw a big guy crashing into Lin Xiaofeng.

"careful!"

Conan couldn't help but shout, not for Lin Xiaofeng, but for that 17-year-old.

That was indeed a tremendous force.

At least for ordinary people, it's enough to make them stumble or even fall.

Unfortunately, the creature he bumped into was a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, so the one who fell down was the one who bumped into him.

On the contrary, Lin Xiaofeng, who was hit, was completely unharmed and even seemed a little bewildered.

To elaborate, the person who fell to the ground was a flustered-looking employee of an eyewear company, commonly known as a corporate slave. He was dressed in a suit, tie, and leather shoes, looking very honest and suffering. He was carrying a black briefcase decorated with the logo of the Mantian Company, so he seemed to be an employee of Mantian Company. He had a slicked-back haircut with a slightly receding hairline.

It's clear that the other party didn't deliberately bump into us, nor did they want to cause trouble or anything like that.

After falling to the ground, the man's first reaction was not to get up and argue with Lin Xiaofeng, but to ignore the pain and immediately rush over to pick up the fallen briefcase, examining it carefully from all angles. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did he grit his teeth and breathe a sigh of relief, rubbing his backside as he got up from the ground, not forgetting to bow and apologize.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't see where I was going. It was my fault. I'm so sorry I bumped into you..."

"Oh no, it's okay, I'm fine."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was good and that he had not suffered any real harm, and had not even lost his balance, Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

He felt a bit confused, or rather, he found the extremely reserved attitude of all Japanese people incomprehensible. They would apologize and bow over the smallest things, almost to the point of kneeling down.

As for what?

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Takeshita, don't run so fast, take it easy! Look, you bumped into someone!"

"Ok?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, the speaker was a young male employee who had just stepped out of the elevator. He was also around twenty years old and about to turn thirty. He was dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase from the company, Mantang Games. He was clearly a colleague of the person who had hit him, who was called Takeshita.

"Ueda, you'd better hurry up too," Takeshita said anxiously, pointing to his watch. "It's almost time, we need to get into the venue quickly, or the president will give us a good scolding again!"

"Ah! It seems so, oh no!" Ueda glanced at his watch and was immediately alarmed.

So the two rushed to the counter, not even bothering to wait in line, and pushed their briefcases in front of the clerk behind the counter, cutting in line and apologizing.

"It must be really tough~" Miyano Akemi, who used to work at a bank, looked sympathetic and spoke as if she deeply understood.

"Maybe this is the pressure of life brought about by the fast pace of society," Lin Xiaofeng said with a shrug.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall, black figure flashing by among the crowds coming and going in the exhibition hall. The distinctive buttocks and chin made Lin Xiaofeng recognize the person's identity immediately.

Holy crap? Agave? What's this guy doing here?

……

Upon entering the exhibition hall, the space suddenly opened up, and the oppressive and anxious atmosphere that had hung over us like dark clouds in the lobby was no longer there. Instead, the sounds of various game controls echoed throughout the venue.

For example, on the huge screen directly opposite the entrance to the exhibition hall, someone is controlling a plumber wearing a red hat playing Mario Odyssey, and on the side screens, there is a live stream of a game called "Picnic," which everyone, whether they have heard of or not, has heard of the company, Mantog.

However, this was, after all, a new product launch and demo event for Mantek. It would have felt a bit off if Sony or Microsoft consoles or even exclusive games were shown. But showing only Mantek handhelds seemed too boring. So Mantek cleverly brought out some arcade games that were popular in the past but are now relics of the past.

For example, Street Fighter, Metal Slug, and the like.

This not only enriches the content of the demo exhibition but also avoids overshadowing its own games, and can even create a contrasting effect.

Although some IPs are still relentlessly releasing new works, playing them on coin-operated arcade machines is definitely a thing of the past.

"Hey, how about we go play that?" Mingmei tugged at Lin Xiaofeng's sleeve without making a sound, pointing to a boxing machine in the distance that was surrounded by a lot of people.

"Which one?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked up and glanced at it. After a moment's thought, he touched his chin with a slightly subtle expression.

"Roar~"

What's called a boxing machine should more accurately be called a punching power tester. Simply put, it involves a circular plate suspended in front of you, connected to the machine by a linkage mechanism. The player simply punches the plate with all their might, and the machine's screen displays the force of their punch. 233

The principle is the same as hitting a scale with your fist, and then the machine will automatically extract a peak value.

Of course, you have to wear the matching boxing gloves, otherwise your hands will hurt a lot.

Although there were many people surrounding the boxing machine, only a few actually tried it. Most people were just watching the excitement. Even those who dared to try... or embarrass themselves, were mostly men who came with their girlfriends.

To put it bluntly, this thing is used to demonstrate boyfriend strength.

When Lin Xiaofeng brought Shirley and Mingmei over, they happened to run into a couple getting off the boxing machine.

It's unclear whether it was because the boy's performance was so embarrassing that the girl rejected him, but even the onlookers teased him, saying that the young man needed to practice more.

They say timing is everything; the couple had just come downstairs when Lin Xiaofeng picked them up right after.

The onlookers immediately started to jeer.

But when putting on the boxing gloves, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly hesitated for a moment, then took the gloves off and handed them to Shirley, winking and making faces.

"You come."

"..."

The aloof girl in his arms looked at him expressionlessly.

"Come on, come on," Lin Xiaofeng continued, winking and giving frantic hints.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while.

"If you want war, then I will fight."

Xue Yinli was enraged by Lin Xiaofeng, and Dai Lin, filled with anger, put on the fist set, and now she became a cute female boxer.

378. Heaven and Hell

(Liulin = Xiaofengye) could only follow the thoughts of the two girls and walk around looking at each other. Occasionally, at Mingmei's suggestion, he would try to play family games that two or three people could participate in together, such as street basketball.

Although Shirley didn't seem particularly enthusiastic throughout, she never refused her sister's suggestions. This was probably because she had been sent to the United States to study at a young age and had focused on the research and development of APTX4869 after returning to Japan. She had never had the time or opportunity to go out and play with Akemi like normal sisters. This was probably a way to make up for the missing beautiful memories of her childhood.

As for Miyamoto Akemi's motivation, it was even simpler. She had no interest in the game demo exhibition itself. Her motivation for visiting the demo exhibition was entirely due to Lin Xiaofeng and her younger sister Shiho.

And so, a delicate balance was inexplicably formed among the three of them.

"I'm thirsty."
