Zongman: My Smart Group

Hachiman Hikigaya: "I'll go through fire and water for you, brother!"

Lin Mo said, moved, "Second brother! Third brother!"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Big brother! Third brother!"

Kazuma Sato: "Big brother! Second brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Third Brother!"

"Brother!"

As they kept calling out, the three of them completely messed up the backup, leaving Lin Mo's head buzzing. Then they clapped their hands and said, "Let's skip the formalities. I'm sure the three of us brothers will be able to shock these natives into nothing more than amazed bystanders!"

"I've put up with you for far too long!"

At this moment, a burly man stepped forward and shouted, "You keep calling us 'natives,' don't we have any dignity? Don't think you're the only ones with dances, we have our own dances too!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people stood up to respond.

"That's right! Our world is no worse than yours!"

"How dare they look down on us! They really don't take us seriously!"

"We've also participated in your dance competition!"

"That's right! We absolutely cannot let you look down on us; our dance is number one!"

"I'll participate too! What Asian Dance King? Never heard of him. He's just a greenhorn. I can take you all down with just a few moves!"

Many people responded enthusiastically, expressing their inability to tolerate Lin Mo's belittling and declaring their intention to participate in the dance competition!

Seeing so many people overestimating themselves, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fine! I'll let you participate. I'll make sure you all lose convincingly and understand that Earth's dance is the coolest!"

At this moment, Luna, the receptionist at the Adventurers' Guild, stepped forward and said, "We can't let you people from another world look down on us. In that case, let's hold a proper dance competition! Our Adventurers' Guild will be responsible for setting up the stage! We'll also prepare prizes for the top three!"

Lin Mo: "Hahaha... It's decided then. Such a hasty competition is indeed lacking. It really is time to hold a formal competition. Since your Adventurers' Association has brought it up, I have no objections. When will it start?"

Luna: "Give us three days. In three days, we will definitely have everything ready. We will not only arrange professional mentors, but also prepare a professional stage! Then, we will have a showdown!"

Lin Mo: "Okay, but let me make this clear first, I've reserved first place, the rest are up to you!"

Aqua: "What a boastful tone! Aren't you afraid of hurting your back with such big words? With me, the Goddess of Water, here, how dare you talk about being number one? It's just wishful thinking! You're just the King of Asia, while I am the Dance King of the Divine Realm! Number one should belong to me!"

Luna: "What Asian divine realm? Don't talk big before the answer is clear! Our dance is second to none! I'll be participating too, it's time to show you the charm of our dance!"

And so, a dance competition spanning three worlds began!

After what just happened, no one had the appetite for eating or drinking anymore, and the atmosphere, which had been relaxed, became tense instead of relaxed.

Lin Mo calmly sat back down in his seat. He was about to pick up a frog leg to fill his stomach when he looked closely and saw that there was no food left, only some scraps.

Lin Mo was furious. He glared at everyone and said, "Who! Who stole my delicious frog leg!"

Aqua wiped her mouth and said, "It wasn't me! It must have been Kazuma Sato. Look at him, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he doesn't look like a good person at all. It was definitely him!"

Kazuma Sato punched Aqua on the head, gritting his teeth as he said, "If you're going to frame someone, at least wipe the food off your own mouth! Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? You finished everyone's food in such a short time!"

(Note: Aqua ate this while Lin Mo was dancing, and she didn't wipe the crumbs off her mouth.)

Aqua covered her head and shouted, "You bastard Kazuma! I'm a goddess! How dare you hit me? Take this!"

Sato's parents quickly intervened to stop the fight.

Lin Mo sighed and said, "Really, we're still not full. Waiter, bring us another serving of food!"

Hachiman Hikigaya raised his hand and said, "I have a question. We didn't even have the money to register as adventurers. If we order another meal, who will pay?"

Lin Mo said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'll pay, after all, I just earned a lot of money from dancing!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, holding her head, said, "But because of your sudden idea, we didn't even have time to ask for money before we started the dance competition."

Lin Mo froze instantly, and said incredulously, "They didn't pay me at all?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison to indicate no.

Lin Mo slammed his fist on the table and stood up, turning to shout at the others, "How can you watch someone dance without paying? Do you want to see a tyrant dance? I advise you to behave yourselves and hand over your money right now. Do you want to taste whether my sword is sharp or not?"

The burly man who jumped out first immediately retorted, "Pah! I think you're just trying to dine and dash! My sword isn't exactly unsharp either!"

Just as tensions were rising, Luna stepped forward and said, "The Adventurers' Guild forbids fighting. As for your meal, the Adventurers' Guild will pay for it. After all, you are guests from another world, and we cannot be impolite. We can afford to treat you to a meal."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and said, "Luna really knows how to handle things. Since that's the case, I'll give you some face and bring up double the amount of food from earlier."

Luna: "We said we'd treat you to a meal, but we can't just waste food like this."

Lin Mo patted his stomach and said, "What a joke! Go ask around, I'm a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world), known as the Jade-Faced Gluttonous Young Master! This little bit of food isn't even enough to fill my teeth. Just bring it on, and if you can't finish it, we'll compensate you according to the price!"

Luna said speechlessly, "You don't even have the money to register, where are you going to get the money to compensate us at the original price?"

Lin Mo: "Simple, the three of us brothers will just wash the dishes for you!"

Kazuma Sato: "No, what does this have to do with me?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "I'm already full, this has nothing to do with me!"

Lin Mo: "Mm!"

Kazuma Sato/Hachiman Hikigaya: "That's right! We'll stay and wash the dishes!"

Lin Mo: "See that? Hurry up and serve us some good food and drinks!"

Seeing how confident they were, Luna instructed the kitchen to start serving the dishes, and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal.

Looking at the completely dark sky, Yukino Yukinoshita said, "It's getting late, let's hurry home."

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "You can rest assured. It's just a matter of time flow between two worlds. I can solve it with a wave of my hand. I guarantee that we'll go back whenever we come. You can stay here for a year without any problem!"

Thinking of Lin Mo's amazing power, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others were no longer in a hurry. After all, this was a magical other world, and it was impossible not to yearn for it. They had to get the identity of an adventurer and have some fun!

So here's the question: why did Lin Mo start dancing in the first place?

Chapter 152 Yukino went for it.

After discussing it for a while, everyone finally decided to stay here for a few days before returning to their original world. After all, the issue of time flow had been resolved, and now it was time to fully experience the wonders of magic!

Before that, Lin Mo took some time to go back and buy some gold bars, which raised enough money for the accommodation. As for the registration, he would leave it for tomorrow, since there wasn't much time left.

Lin Mo had just finished washing up and returned to his room when there was a knock on the door. When the person who came in came in, he looked closely and saw that it was actually Sato Kazuma.

He looked around first, then furtively closed the door. After confirming that no one was around, he knelt down with a thud.

Sato Kazuma said sincerely, "Big brother, there were too many people outside just now. I'll kneel down for you now. You know I'm a complete stranger here, and with that mentally challenged goddess dragging me down, I'm still living in a stable. I'm suffering! I usually don't even have enough to eat. If it weren't for your generosity today, I would have really gone hungry! I saw how generous you were, so could you help me out a little for now? I'll definitely pay you back when I earn money in the future!"

After hearing what he said, Lin Mo wiped away his tears and quickly helped him up, saying, "Hezhen, I know you've had a hard life, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. You haven't even moved into a villa yet. Since you've come to see me, I can't refuse you. Here are three gold bars; they should be enough for you for a while."

Sato Kazuma stared in astonishment at the heavy gold bars in his hand. He had expected Lin Mo to decline repeatedly and then only offer a small amount of rice, but he never expected that Lin Mo would actually give him three gold bars! This was completely beyond his expectations!

Sato Kazuma, his eyes brimming with tears, exclaimed, "Big brother! You've given us too much! One is enough!"

Lin Mo: "We're family, no need for formalities. Just take it. After all, you're my little brother. If others find out you're living such a hard life, wouldn't that be embarrassing for me? Alright, just keep these things for now. I have plenty more. Is there anything else?"

With one hand holding the gold bar and the other hand saluting, Kazuma Sato said, "Loyalty!"

Lin Mo: "Alright! It seems that even in another world, you still remember your responsibilities. In that case, let's continue the rehearsal we didn't finish the other day tomorrow!"

Kazuma Sato froze on the spot, recalling the fear of being dominated again. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um... Big brother, isn't there going to be a dance competition later? If we rehearse, it will interfere with the competition. Even if we crush each other, we have to respect each other's efforts. Let's talk about rehearsals after the dance competition."

Lin Mo thought it made sense and nodded, saying, "Alright, in that case, let's postpone the rehearsal for now. After all, we have a lot to do tomorrow. I still need to take everyone to register as adventurers and fight monsters."

Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Lin Mo: "Go back. Spend the gold bars I gave you without worry. It doesn't really matter whether you pay them back or not. I'm not interested in money. What I value is your loyalty! Just don't be like that guy Hachiman Hikigaya who betrayed me."

Sato Kazuma said confidently, "Brother, rest assured, my loyalty is as clear as day!"

Lin Mo: "That's good. I was prepared to teach you a lesson when I heard from Hachiman that you were plotting a rebellion, but it seems he was just talking nonsense. Keep up the good work, I have faith in you!"

Kazuma Sato's eyes widened instantly. "I knew there was a reason why Hachiman Hikigaya has those eyes. He's been talking about me behind my back. Damn it, I have to get my revenge!"

Sato Kazuma said very seriously, "Brother, please don't believe the rumors. Hikigaya Hachiman is just a eunuch. Without the symbol of manhood, he naturally craves power. So he must be trying to sow discord between you and me. He hinted before that he wanted me to rebel, and I immediately refused and scolded him for being unworthy of being a subject. I never expected that he would whisper in your ear and almost cause a tragedy. I will definitely be his enemy!"

Lin Mo: "I understand. Hachiman is still up to no good. You should go back and rest. I have my own way of dealing with him."

Kazuma Sato: "Goodnight, big brother!"

Lin Mo: "Good night!"

After Kazuma Sato left, Lin Mo had just lain down on the bed when there was another knock on the door. This time it was Yukino Yukinoshita.

Lin Mo sat up and said, "Yukino, is there anything else you need from me so late?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the edge of the bed, looked at his face and said, "Lin Mo, what is your view of this world?"

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How else can I watch? Of course, I'll sit down and watch."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That's not what I meant. I meant your view of the world?"

Lin Mo stroked his chin and said, "Your opinion? Hmm... It's pretty good. The people here are quite entertaining. Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's nothing, I was just asking."

Having learned from the experience of the last century, Yukino Yukinoshita was ultimately a little scared, so she came over in the evening to ask her about it.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes and said, "What's going on? If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep."

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, then smoothed her hair and said, "There's one more thing, Lin Mo. What do you think of Rikka Takanashi? To be precise, how do you plan to deal with Rikka Takanashi's feelings for you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked directly into Lin Mo's eyes, hoping he would give her a satisfactory answer.

Lin Mo was slightly lost in thought, subconsciously recalling his usual interactions with Takanashi Rikka, and finally his mind lingered on the image of her kissing him.

Lin Mo touched his lips and said, "Yukino, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly and looked away, saying, "It's nothing. I was just worried that you'd be led astray by her."

Lin Mo suddenly lay down on the bed, clearing his mind, and said, "Actually, I don't know what to do either. Feelings are such a damn complicated thing. Even though I've already rejected her, she keeps coming back to me. You know, Yukino, I actually have a phobia of dating."

Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils suddenly contracted. Was there a shadow? Could it be that she was hurt by that scumbag girl before?

She quickly leaned closer and asked anxiously, "What does this mean? Have you been hurt by another woman before?"

Lin Mo: "No, it's just that I've seen too many fairies."

"Little fairy?"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. Was she referring to the angels in the sky?

Lin Mo: "That's right, the little fairy refers to..."

After briefly explaining what the fairy meant, Yukino Yukinoshita said thoughtfully, "So you're afraid of meeting that kind of person, right?"

Lin Mo: "Part of it is because of this, and another part is my own fault. That is, I can't grasp the relationship. I think girls' minds are the most complicated things in the world. I can't figure out what you're thinking next. They get angry over inexplicable things. You don't listen when I explain, or both of us think we are right, but we won't take the opportunity when I give you one."

I had a friend who dated and broke up with his partner multiple times, getting back together more than ten times a month. Each breakup was over some trivial matter that seemed inexplicable to me, yet they argued endlessly about it. It was so annoying.

Actually, I think our relationship is pretty good right now. We're just friends, nothing more. If we take it any further, I'm afraid we won't even be able to stay friends, and we'll have to avoid each other when we see each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly laughed: "So you're afraid of meeting bad women, right?"

Lin Mo: "That's roughly the idea."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "So, do you think I'm a bad woman?"

Lin Mo glanced at him and said, "No."

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly leaned over and, seeing Lin Mo's troubled expression due to relationship issues, felt an urge to kiss him, but in the end, she reached out and ruffled his hair.

Yukino Yukinoshita said gently, "I think I understand what you mean. Actually, I have the same worries as you. I always worry that my future partner will not meet my expectations and that we will quarrel over trivial matters. So I have always set my standards for choosing a partner very high. But later, I changed my mind."

Lin Mo felt he should play along, so he clapped his hands and said, "Wow~ That's amazing~"

It's hard now, it's hard now, my fist is hard!

After a few seconds of silence, Yukino Yukinoshita loosened her clenched fist and said with a helpless smile, "Seriously, can't you at least consider the atmosphere before you speak? I finally mustered up the courage to share this with you."

Lin Mo: "I'm sorry."

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Anyway, I've come to understand something now. There's nothing perfect in this world. Even your future partner can't perfectly match you. It's all about mutual compromise and understanding."

Just like my sister, my mother, and myself, we have always been excessively perfectionistic, extremely domineering, and self-centered. If we had just let go of our pride even a little, our relationship probably wouldn't have become so strained.

Yukino Yukinoshita, seeing Lin Mo's nonchalant expression, knew that his mind was not on this at all. She then reached out and pinched his cheek, saying somewhat angrily, "Listening to others properly is the most basic courtesy. You are being far too disrespectful to me."
