All my teammates online are my girlfriends

All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Author: Lin Yuan

Summary:

Lin Qiu is the only alchemist in the game "Skyland", specializing in providing various high-level potions to his teammates in the front-line strategy team. However, as his friendship deepened, he gradually discovered something was wrong. Those teammates seemed to live next to him, and they were very close! A series of coincidences drew his attention to several female classmates around him, and he felt that they had a high degree of similarity with his male teammates. The cool deskmate, the gentle and considerate junior sister, the scheming classmate, the elusive neighbor, the talkative senior sister [Lin Yuan]

001-Women affect gaming efficiency

"jingle-"

With a pleasant ringing of a bell, the slightly old wooden door was slowly pushed open.

The room, illuminated by a kerosene lamp, had a warm orange hue, and was filled with warm-toned wooden furniture. Although small, it inexplicably gave people a sense of comfort.

The person entering was wearing a black robe, which completely covered his tall figure.

The hood was pulled low, casting a shadow that perfectly obscured the person's face.

The eyes in the shadows scanned the scene inside the room. The visitor was slightly taken aback, but still stepped towards the counter.

There was only a young man with a ponytail at the counter, lazily leaning back in his chair, flipping through a book, occasionally taking a sip of tea, looking every bit the leisurely retiree.

The visitor sat down directly opposite the young man, tapped the table to attract his attention, and his slightly deep voice echoed in the room—

"You've brought what you asked for, but where's my goods?"

"What's with this underground smuggling operation...?"

The young man rolled his eyes, glanced towards the door, and gave a reminder—

“My shop rarely has outsiders, so you don’t need to use props to block it anymore. It looks kind of awkward.”

"Just in case."

Her fair hands emerged from beneath the black robe, and after a few light taps in the air, the black robe vanished into nothingness, revealing a delicate and refined face that resembled that of a woman.

Her long, gray-white hair cascaded down her back, with a long strand tied up and falling to her waist. Her casual beginner outfit perfectly accentuated her slender and tall figure.

If it weren't for the prominent Adam's apple, one would immediately think she was a spirited young woman.

However, this had no effect on the young man who was already familiar with him. Looking at his outstanding appearance, he couldn't help but tease him—

"As expected of a celebrity on the front lines, not only are you handsome, but you can also fight. I bet all the girls in this newbie village will be captivated by you."

"It's just that the characters are good-looking."

Qingyuan shook her head, took a cloth bag from her backpack, and threw it on the table.

"Here's what you wanted, the latest materials dropped by the little commander. I've brought back ten of them for you."

"I remember this thing has a very low drop rate, did you slaughter their entire race?"

Lin Qiu's eyelids twitched. He had only intended to acquire one or two for making potions, but he hadn't expected to be able to get so many.

If I remember correctly, the newly discovered junior commander's level is a bit higher than the current frontline strategy team, right?

"I was lucky enough to run into a few. Everything you wanted is here. What about the potion I requested before?"

"Everything is done. I had a lot of materials left over from helping Cú Chulainn a few days ago. Now that you've taken over, we've cleared out the inventory."

Lin Qiu smiled and took out dozens of bottles of potions from his backpack, including recovery, enhancement, and functional types. There were many backups of each one, enough to last for a while.

"Cú Chulainn? Is that the knight? Wasn't he away from the front lines these past few days? Why would he need so many potions?"

Qingyuan casually asked while putting away the medicine.

"He's bringing girls along. I heard he recently got a girlfriend, and whenever he's leveling up with her, he brings her over to my place to show off their love and make us jealous."

Lin Qiu shrugged. He never paid much attention to guys who loved to show off.

After the week-long ban is lifted, that guy should know what's right and wrong.

Knowing her friend's temperament well, Qingyuan lowered her eyes and glanced at a certain knight who was constantly complaining about being blacklisted in the guild channel. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Why don't you get a girlfriend? It would be better than being so upset."

"Come on, I'm a homebody in real life and I don't have many friends. Online dating is even more out of the question. No matter how good-looking the virtual avatar is, who knows if it's a man or a woman behind it?"

Thinking back to the many players on his friend list who had logged off due to the trauma of online dating, Lin Qiu couldn't help but purse his lips. Women were affecting his efficiency in farming in the game!

Even if you wanted to, with your friend list full of guys, who would bring themselves to do that?

Qingyuan blinked noncommittally, her gaze sweeping over the furnishings in the room, a look of interest involuntarily appearing on her face—

"Although you're not very popular with women, aren't you much more efficient when it comes to games? The server has only been open for a month, and you're already able to buy a house. Even on the front lines, you're the only one."

"Are you praising me or insulting me...? Oh well, you can only say that you have to lose something to gain something. This house was bought at a high price. How about it, isn't it great? There's even a bedroom upstairs."

At this point, Lin Qiu became quite proud, realizing that he was one of the richest people in the game, thanks in large part to his special class.

How much did you buy the house for?

One million gold coins.

"One...one million?"

Qingyuan's expression froze. They hadn't even explored 30% of the first level of the game map yet, and the houses were already this expensive?

"Alchemists are really rich."

"There's nothing I can do about it - I just got lucky and suddenly got a hidden skill."

Lin Qiu's smile became much more unrestrained. At this stage, he was providing all the high-level items needed by the frontline strategy team, making a fortune from those guys' wallets.

Qingyuan sighed helplessly, and without dwelling on the topic, she packed up her props and took her leave.

"I'm logging off now. There's the opening ceremony and class assignments today, so I can't be late."

"Oh, perfect timing, I also have an opening ceremony at 2 PM, I'll log off now."

"Hmm? What time?"

Qingyuan paused as she was about to press the logout button, glancing suspiciously at Lin Qiu, who was also preparing to log off.

"Two o'clock, what's wrong?"

"You mentioned before that you're in high school, right? Which school?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're really prying into my real-life privacy. Are you planning to blackmail or kidnap me offline?"

Seeing Lin Qiu's wary expression, Qing Yuan rubbed her temples and, after thinking for a moment, gave up on asking any further questions.

Although the two had a good relationship online, they were still strangers offline, and it would be a bit presumptuous to ask them questions so abruptly.

"It just feels a bit like a coincidence, I'm logging off now."

Without much delay, Qingyuan's figure turned into countless illusory fragments and disappeared on the spot, leaving Lin Qiu standing there in a daze.

As far as I know, all the high schools in Canghai City have their opening ceremonies at this time today, right? That guy is from the same city as me.

Lin Qiu scratched his head, but didn't pay much attention. A city is so big, it's unlikely that they would be in the same school by such a coincidence.

Besides, that guy is tall, rich, and handsome, which is too dazzling for a shut-in like me. She's not a pretty girl, so there's nothing to look forward to.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Lin Qiu logged off...

002 - They have girlfriends, so they blocked me.

"Backpack, pencil case... textbooks haven't been handed out yet, I'll just stuff a few notebooks in too, what else is there?"

A drowsy muttering echoed in the living room as a petite figure stood on a small stool, intently packing up a schoolbag waiting to be used on the table.

The little girl was less than 1.4 meters tall, wearing a loose shirt and trousers, and had neat shoulder-length short hair.

Although she looks young, the clean apron she's wearing gives her the air of a little adult at home.

Today is her brother's opening ceremony, but it's almost time and he still hasn't come downstairs, so the task of tidying up has fallen entirely on her shoulders.

Thinking of this, the little girl's cute face immediately puffed up, and she shouted upstairs—

"Brother Lin Qiu! It's almost time, aren't you coming down yet!"

"I'm here, I just logged off. Wow, thanks a lot for helping me clean up."

Almost the instant Chie finished speaking, Lin Qiu, who had already changed his clothes, hurriedly strolled downstairs with a sullen smile on his face.

I got carried away with the game, but luckily I have a younger sister at home.

"Alright, alright, I've packed everything for you. Hurry up and get to school. Luckily, it's close by, or we'd be late."

Chie shoved the schoolbag into Lin Qiu's arms and urged him on, "If you keep dawdling, you won't make it to the opening ceremony."

"Then I'll go!"

Lin Qiu agreed and hurriedly rushed to the entrance to change her shoes.

Don't forget to buy groceries when you get home tonight!

"understood."

Lin Qiu waved his hand, and after getting ready, he rushed out of the house.

There's still an hour until the opening ceremony. If I rush fast enough, I'll definitely be able to get to my class and make it into the venue in time!

It was midday, the sun was blazing, and there weren't many people on the streets except for him, who was running all the way.

Lin Qiu attended Yue Du High School, which was considered one of the top schools in Canghai City. He had only enrolled because he wanted to be close to home, but he was lucky enough to get in right away.

He has now moved up to the second year of high school, which is not only a new semester but also a new round of class changes, just like Qingyuan's situation.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?"

Lin Qiu had already rushed to the school gate while lost in thought. His legs were so heavy from lack of exercise that he could hardly lift them. He panted heavily as he looked around.

It wasn't late yet, and many students were still entering the school gate, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Ah—there's also the class assignment notice."

Remembering the documents he had received earlier, Lin Qiu quickly took out the notification letter that Qian Hui had stuffed into his bag.

"Class 3... that should be the direction."

With a blank stare at one of the teaching buildings, Lin Qiu slowly searched for the building based on his hazy memories from the summer vacation.

Each grade in Yue Du is housed in its own building, so finding the destination wasn't difficult. It only took him a few minutes to locate his class.

With his eyes fixed on the half-open classroom door, Lin Qiu felt inexplicably tense.

I wonder if there will be more eye-catching girls in the class this time, and if anyone wants to play Kara no Kyoukai (The Kyoukai Saga) with me so I can scam some coins out of them...

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Qiu swallowed hard and then opened the door.

As far as he could see, there weren't many people in the spacious classroom, only a dozen or so scattered around, mostly girls, which was quite eye-catching, just as he had expected.

Apart from the girls, most of the boys gathered near the back windows, firmly occupying the so-called main seats.

Lin Qiu smiled, looked around and saw that he didn't recognize anyone, so he gave up the idea of ​​greeting them and just found a seat near the door and sat down.

Looking at the empty table beside me, I still felt a little bit of anticipation.

Hopefully, this time my deskmate will be more reliable. Last semester, the muscular guy sitting next to me always seemed a bit sleazy, and the semester was torture for me.

"It would be great if a girl came along, at least I'd have some luck with women, otherwise those guys would be so envious."

Lin Qiu took out his phone and glanced at the strategy group's discussion group. As expected, it was filled with the saccharine smell of romance, which made Lin Qiu frown involuntarily.

Are these guys bored out of their minds? Instead of showing off, why don't they go conquer the front lines? This wasted youth could have yielded so many materials and gold coins!

"Hmm—hasn't everyone arrived yet?"

Just as Lin Qiu was about to reprimand those idle fellows, a gentle female voice with a hint of soothingness suddenly came from the direction of the door.

Upon hearing that heavenly female voice, all the boys in the class were instantly energized, their eyes fixed on the source of the sound.

A tall, slender figure exuding a mature aura suddenly appeared at the doorway, dressed in a beige professional office lady outfit, her figure appearing exceptionally graceful and alluring.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her waist, her gentle face adorned with light makeup and a friendly smile, and a pair of perfectly matching black-rimmed glasses perched on her delicate nose, all of which accentuated her intellectual charm.

"The homeroom teacher?"

Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow, glanced at her future homeroom teacher for the next two years, and then returned her attention to her phone.

Compared to the situation in the class, I had other things to do on the "Kara no Kyoukai" side.
