Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

"Let's use this method. Once Eriri and the others finish their art, I'll add it. After our game is completed, this website can be officially launched."

“Actually, we could have launched this website a few days before the game’s release, as a way to generate buzz. I saw that you’ve already started promoting the game online, Mo Jun. The website could help increase the game’s popularity, right?” Kato Megumi gestured with her phone, clearly having noticed Gao Yu Mo’s earlier actions.

Shi Yu glanced at what was displayed on her phone, thought of something, and took out her own phone to start pressing buttons.

Gao Yumo seemed to know what she was going to do. She opened her profile and saw that her account had been used by her. Could this be considered a spoiler? No, not really.

Anyway, netizens started speculating after seeing this, wondering what the relationship was between Teacher Da Mo and Teacher Xia Shizi, and whether Teacher Xia Shizi was also a member of the club that Teacher Da Mo mentioned.

It has to be said that netizens are smart; they guessed it right away. However, Shi Yu turned off her phone after posting that message. She was just trying to hype up the game and had no other intentions. It's none of her business how netizens guess.

Gao Yumo watched for a while, then turned off her phone and didn't respond. She figured everyone would know once the website released the information, and all the speculation before then would just be hype for the game, so she didn't need to pay attention to it.

The website's art was finally finished near nightfall. Gao Yumo had already gone to cook dinner, and everyone else had left, leaving only Eriri and a few other artists in the activity room.

"It's finally finished. I'll show it to my brother after dinner." Sagiri stretched her arms and relaxed her body.

“No problem.” Eriri nodded. “By the way, what are they talking about, promoting the game? Let me see.”

She took out her phone, and although she was very focused on drawing, she could still hear some things.

She immediately found out as soon as she opened the software she used, since there were all sorts of messages circulating online about their club and people speculating about who else was in it. She even saw the message that Shiyu had posted, and with a clenched fist, she decided to post one too!

I also sent a message to Da Mo, and I felt much better afterward. I'm just as good as Shi Yu!

Netizens were shocked by her post once again. They hadn't expected that Kashiwagi Eri would be an artist like that. Of course, netizens weren't sure, since the difference was quite significant. Although they are both artists, isn't Kashiwagi Eri known for drawing fan art?

Mashiro and Sagiri, who were standing nearby, also noticed Eriri's actions. Sagiri took out her phone and sent a message as well. Although she didn't understand it, she wondered if this was a task for the club members, a warm-up for their game?

Mashiro wasn't very good at using a phone, so Eriri gave her some pointers and she also posted one.

Their news stirred up the already chaotic internet, especially Mashiro, a world-class painter. Under her spotlight, even Sagiri's news, posted at the same time, didn't make a ripple.

If Shina Mashiro were in the club that Da Mo-sensei mentioned, I can't even imagine how good the final product would be.

Pshaw, I dare to dream that.

Yes, yes, in terms of plot, there's Kasumi Shiko, and maybe others; in terms of art, there's the world-class artist Shina Mashiro, as well as various great manga artists, and even doujinshi artists Kashiwagi Eri and Eromanga Sensei. Their works can't possibly be bad!

I'm already looking forward to it! I'll buy it as soon as it comes out, three copies!

Online anticipation for their work immediately reached its peak, and there was no one who was pessimistic. Just the fact that these people are likely members of this group makes the group's work something to look forward to. And who knows, there might even be some amazing artists they don't know about.

Anyway, Gao Yumo has achieved the desired pre-launch hype, and it's even better than he expected. He estimates that once the game is finished, with a little more promotion, it will sell like hotcakes!

"Is this blood?" This was the exchange in the kitchen. Sakura was startled when she saw what her brother had brought over in the basin. Vigne, who was next to her, even hid behind Kato Megumi. Kato Megumi, on the other hand, was very calm. She had already noticed the blood in the basin.

Gao Yumo took out the blood he bought at noon. Sophie and Deng were coming to visit later. Deng was human, so she could eat with them, but Sophie couldn't just let her watch from the sidelines, could she? Gao Yumo decided to try making some unique dishes for her.

His cooking skills are so strong, does that mean Sophie can eat dishes made with his healing abilities?

So Gao Yumo wants to try cooking rice with blood. Can Sophie eat it? Of course, she'll just make a small batch to try it out; there will definitely be regular rice.

"Yes, it's pig's blood. I bought it at noon. A special guest is coming to visit later, so I prepared it specially." Gao Yumo nodded and answered Xiaoying's question.

"A special guest?" But Sakura had a new question.

"You'll find out soon enough." Gao Yumo smiled mysteriously. Sophie's identity would be revealed when she arrived—it was a surprise!

Chapter 195 Sophie and the Lamp Come to Visit (1st Update)

"Ding-dong." The doorbell of Gao Yumo's house rang.

"Brother, is it the special guest you mentioned?" Sakura asked Gao Yumo curiously when she heard the doorbell.

“It should be about time. I’ll go open the door.” Gao Yumo nodded and handed the shovel in his hand to Vinette beside him. “It’s yours, Vinette.”

“No problem! Leave it to me.” Winette nodded seriously and took the shovel.

"It's just handing over a rice paddle, why are you making such a fuss?" Ayano, who was waiting for the meal to start, looked at the two of them speechlessly.

Vinette blushed immediately and turned towards the pot. Gao Yumo looked at Ayano and shook her head.

"This is the sense of ritual for us chefs, you wouldn't understand."

"Alright, hurry up and open the door, then bring the person here so we can see who this special guest you mentioned is." Ayano rolled her eyes at him, gave him a push, and urged him to hurry up.

"Okay, okay, don't push me." Gao Yumo raised his hand and walked towards the door. Ayano was one of the few girls who didn't spoil him at all, so this was quite novel.

Seeing her brother like this, Sakura burst out laughing. Her brother had finally met his match.

"You're here." Gao Yumo opened the door and greeted the two people at the door, "Sophie, Deng, you're here. Come in quickly. Dinner will be ready soon, and I've prepared some for Sophie too."

The sun had already set, and Sophie had nothing else to do but go out, so she didn't wear her cloak. It was her first time visiting a friend's house, so she figured she should dress normally.

"I rarely visit my friends' homes. I only ever had one friend's house to go to before," Deng said excitedly and expectantly as she entered Gao Yumo's house and stood next to Gao Yumo.

Sophie stood hesitating at the door, and Gao Yumo looked at her.

"What's wrong? Come in... Oh, right, vampires can't enter other people's homes without being invited, right?" Gao Yumo suddenly remembered and smiled. "Please come in, beautiful lady."

Gao Yumo gestured for her to enter, his tone and movements were very elegant, which made Deng's eyes light up. "Mo Jun is so handsome!" She quickly shook her head. "No, I still prefer Sophie-chan. Hehe, Sophie-chan, I really want to change her clothes and braid her hair. That silky long hair, hehehe."

Sophie, head down, was about to walk forward when she looked up and saw Deng's infatuated expression. Startled, she took a step back. Clearly, she was still not used to Deng's behavior.

Let alone her, Gao Yumo broke out in a sweat when he saw her just now. This girl is blatantly a pervert. Speaking of which, she likes dolls, and Sophie does look like a doll. It's not surprising that Lantern Festival likes Sophie so much. It's just that her personality is a bit strange. Her classmates at school all think she's weird.

"Sophie~" Seeing Sophie back away in fright, Deng reached out her hands to hug her.

"Don't come any closer!" Sophie cried out as her first words after arriving, her voice trembling with fear. Her happy mood from visiting her friend's house was about to vanish!

Many people ran out of the house after hearing Sophie's scream, as it was quite unusual for a strange girl to scream downstairs.

"Is my brother molesting a minor?" Umaru was the fastest runner, and then she saw Sophie next to Gao Yumo. Although Sophie was hundreds of years old, she looked like she was only a teenager. Umaru's misunderstanding was understandable.

Before Gao Yumo could even introduce herself, even more girls rushed over after hearing Xiaomai's voice.

Then they saw that it wasn't Gao Yumo who had molested the little girl, but another girl they didn't know.

"They are our neighbors. I invited them to our house for dinner. This is just how they get along. They live together and have a very good relationship," Gao Yumo explained to the girls who came.

"I see." Yang Nai nodded. "I thought Mo Jun was making advances on children out of desperation, but it turns out it was just others playing around."

"Is this a game? Why does that silver-haired girl seem a bit reluctant?" Yukino ran downstairs with her sister and, looking at the interaction between the two unfamiliar girls at the door, wondered why it didn't seem like a game. The silver-haired girl didn't seem happy at all.

Gao Yumo was taken aback, then realized what was happening and quickly turned on the light. Was this girl really so clueless? So many people were watching her, and she hadn't even reacted; she was still rubbing against Sophie's face.

"Is Sophie alright?" Gao Yumo helped Sophie sit up straight; she felt like Sophie was about to fall over from the lamp. "Lamp, don't you see how many people are here? Aren't you ashamed of doing that?"

He gestured for Deng to turn her head. Deng was taken aback. So many people? Then she looked behind her and saw more than a dozen girls staring at her in the hallway of the house. Thinking of what had just happened, her face turned red, she covered her face with her hands, and squatted down.

"what!"

The girls all wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to actually laugh. It was clear this girl was very shy, so they decided not to tease her. However, the interaction between the two girls was quite interesting; they seemed to be sisters. So sweet!

Yukino looked at Yukino, who noticed her gaze and glared at her, saying, "Don't even think about it!"

"I haven't said anything yet," Yang said with a smile, seemingly unwilling to give up. Yukino clenched her fist, indicating she needed to be wary of her older sister.

"I'm fine." Sophie had also calmed down. She wasn't usually this agitated; she must have been too excited about visiting her friend's house today, and her step back had probably upset her.

Then she noticed the girl in the corridor, paused slightly, and looked at Gao Yumo: "So you were the king of the harem?"

Gao Yumo's smiling face froze, while the girls who were holding back their laughter burst out laughing. Xiaomai, Gabriel, and Satania were rolling on the ground laughing. Satania couldn't help but act like a well-behaved girl at home. This shows how powerful those words were to the girls.

Gao Yumo actually got what she got for saying that to a girl she just met today.

Gao Yumo felt she had suffered too many setbacks today, sighed, and suddenly thought of a good idea. She nodded and spoke.

"Indeed, I am the king of the harem."

The girls' smiles froze. Umaru and Gabriel both looked at Gao Yumo, while Sataniya was visibly shocked and stood up abruptly. She just admitted it like that? Then they looked at Sophie, their neighbor whom they'd only met today. Wouldn't she be scared? What if she ran away in fright? Gao Yumo's answer this time was far too bold!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Sophie was quite excited, unlike what the girls had imagined. "It's just like in the anime! Humans really are like that! Harem anime is really true!"

This reclusive vampire is from hundreds of years ago, so she doesn't really have much of a concept of monogamy. And since she's a vampire, she has even less of a concept of it.

On the contrary, Sophie thought it was amazing that Gao Yumo could have so many girlfriends. This was something that only happened in harem anime, and there were so many of them, and they were all so beautiful.

The girls were completely taken aback by this, and then they realized that this girl seemed to be a little girl, which made sense. Little girls tend to think that whatever they see is amazing. She might be a little girl who watches harem anime. Although it's a bit strange for a girl her age to watch that kind of thing, she's just a little girl.

However, the other person looked at the lamp squatting on the ground, but why didn't she react?

"Alright, never mind her. Sophie, come on in. This should be your first time visiting a friend's house, right?" Gao Yumo smiled at the girls' bewildered faces. Trying to outsmart me? He looked at Sophie again and invited her in.

"I...um." Sophie wanted to say something, but she didn't speak. Instead, she looked at Gao Yumo, slowly stepped into Gao Yumo's house.

"I walked into my friend's house! I'm so touched!" Sophie said excitedly after a moment of silence upon entering.

The girls looked at the little girl. Did she have no friends? They understood. They would talk to her more later. How could such a cute girl not have friends? It's okay, they could be friends with her.

The girls are all very gentle, which is a big reason why Gao Yumo likes them. These girls are all gentle children. If they were really the kind of girls with annoying personalities, no matter how beautiful they were, Gao Yumo wouldn't like them. I'm calling out a certain god!

"That's great." Gao Yumo clapped for her, then looked at Amano Akari, who was still squatting on the ground. "Akari, get up quickly, it's almost time to eat."

"Oh~" Deng stood up a little dejectedly, but being naturally ditzy, she quickly cheered up. She was a cheerful child. As for what they were talking about, Deng hadn't heard a thing. She was having a meltdown and couldn't hear anything!

Chapter 196 Yuki: Can Sophie-chan suck my blood? (2 updates)

"Since you're all down here, there's no need to go upstairs. Dinner will be served soon, so just wait downstairs," Gao Yumo said to the girls. She also introduced Sophie and Deng to them, as well as the other girls. Sophie was fine, but Deng was already dizzy from listening. There were so many people, it was so hard to remember them all, and her eyes were starting to glaze over.

Then Gao Yumo leaned close to Sophie and whispered in her ear, "If you want to suck the blood of any of my girls, you need my permission first, and of course, they need your permission too. And you can only taste a small sip. Then I'll allow you to suck it."

"No way!" Sophie shook her head in horror. "It's such a barbaric practice to suck blood directly from a person."

Gao Yumo sighed: "Are you really a vampire?"

"You've already suspected it once." Sophie was speechless. Why was he unhappy that she didn't just drink his blood directly? Was he as twisted as Lamp? He was very similar!

"Okay," the girls replied, then went straight into the dining room, sat down, and started playing on their phones or chatting in the living room, which was very close to the dining room and would be there quickly if called.

Gao Yumo casually called out in the group chat again, saying that a few people hadn't come down yet, such as Mashiro and Nanami. Mashiro didn't like to join in the fun, or rather, she didn't care, while Nanami was probably still practicing her lines, since the official dubbing was about to begin.

Gao Yumo led Sophie and Deng to the kitchen. The people in the kitchen hadn't come out to join the fun, so Gao Yumo wanted to introduce Sophie and Deng, her two neighbors, to them. They would definitely be spending a lot of time together in the future. If they didn't have a place to stay and it wasn't actually that far away, Gao Yumo would have wanted them to stay at her house.

This time, neither of them mentioned that Sophie was a vampire, and the girls didn't notice either. They probably assumed that Gao Yumo had already said it, so they tacitly agreed and didn't ask.

Of course, everyone will find out when they eat later, since the food prepared for Sophie is quite unique.

"These two are the neighbors I was talking about." Gao Yumo introduced the two women to the people in the kitchen, and also introduced them to the cooks. Of course, there was also Ayano waiting for the meal to be served.

"What an adorable little sister! Amano-kun, is she your sister?" Sakura smiled at Sophie, who looked just like a doll! She then asked the lamp next to her.

"No, I'm just staying at Sophie's house. She's... *sobs*" Just as the lantern was about to reveal the truth, Gao Yumo quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear.

"We'll reveal the answer when everyone arrives; consider it a surprise."

The lamp nodded, its sound whirring, while the girls beside it watched the two of them curiously.

"What was Amano-kun about to say?" Sakura asked curiously, then glanced at Gao Yumo. "Don't be afraid of him, just tell us directly."

"It's nothing, hahaha." Deng scratched her head. It really was nothing. She already knew what Mo Jun meant and was willing to cooperate.

Sophie understood. Was it because they hadn't told her she was a vampire yet? Was it because they couldn't tell? She felt a pang of sadness. Was she afraid his family would hate her? Or something else?

Deng leaned closer to Sophie and told her what Gao Yumo had just told her. Sophie nodded in understanding. Oh, I see. What a pleasant surprise! In other words, Mo didn't mean to keep it from the others. Sophie was still quite afraid that these girls would dislike her.

"Alright, let's continue cooking, it's almost done." Gao Yumo smiled and changed the subject. Sakura and Ayano both glanced at him. It wasn't appropriate to do anything with other people around. Once the two neighbors left, they'd show Gao Yumo what the consequences of keeping people in suspense were!

"Sophie, Deng, you two go outside and chat with the others. They're all very nice people, and you'll definitely become good friends. We'll continue cooking, so just wait a little while; dinner will be ready soon." Gao Yumo pushed the two of them towards the outside.

The two nodded. They were actually the type who didn't have many friends. Sophie had two, and Deng had four, even counting each other. So when Gao Yumo said that everyone was willing to be friends with them, they were somewhat happy and hopeful.

Gao Yumo returned to the kitchen and told the girls in advance before they asked.

"You'll find out what I'm hiding when we eat. Just wait a little while."

"Is that so? Then I'll let you off the hook for now," Ayano said, crossing her arms.

"Is it really necessary to keep people in suspense like this?"

"As for it!" Sakura said loudly, glared at her brother, and turned back to continue cooking. Even Sakura's gentle temper couldn't help but get angry. She knew how much Gao Yumo loved to keep things mysterious.

Gao Yumo found that other quirky jokes and pranks were fine; the girls could accept them and even laugh along with him afterward. But for some reason, keeping someone in suspense was unacceptable; they all disliked it. He sighed, "But I really like this! Damn it!"

But because he spoils the girls, they decide to have fewer of them or shift their focus, since they don't like him. Aren't there netizens too?

The girls knew he doted on them, so they were fearless in this regard. As long as he didn't keep them in suspense, they could accept any other quirky humor, since Gao Yumo's personality was such that he liked quirky humor. But keeping them in suspense was unacceptable! There were just too many of them!

Once the food was ready, Gao Yumo called out in the group chat again, and several people immediately came into the kitchen to help serve the dishes. They were all hungry and wanted to eat faster.

"What is this?" Sakura asked, pointing to a bowl of bright red rice next to her. Her brother had just secretly made it; she had no idea and hadn't even noticed.

"Oh, this is special food prepared for Sophie." Gao Yumo smiled mysteriously, picked up the bowl of rice steamed with pig's blood, and walked out of the kitchen.
