All my teammates online are my girlfriends

Tang Feilin said with some surprise, her gaze involuntarily sweeping over Qi Xi beside her.

It seems this guy's work is quite successful; it has indeed achieved the same impact as the game.

"Let's try the others, they're all beginner items from 'Kara no Kyoukai'."

"Yes."

"If there's no problem, can we try it too?"

Just then, Qi Xi and Lin Qiu eagerly raised their hands and asked.

The things in the game have become real, and they don't seem dangerous at all. I want to try them no matter what!

212-Ye Qianhe felt that she would soon be able to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable retirement.

"Pfft-"

"Bah, bah, bah..."

"Did you taste anything?"

"It tastes like ordinary fruit, nothing special."

Qi Xi mumbled indistinctly, feeling nothing unusual except for a warm, slightly feverish sensation in her body.

Is this beginner's item fake?!

Meanwhile, Baiya was facing the same situation, staring blankly at the half-eaten banana in her hand.

Although the mutated banana peels have turned into an eerie silvery-white, and the flesh inside has become almost transparent with many more small particles, it still tastes the same as before.

Was I just summoned here to eat a repackaged fruit?

As for Tang Feilin, who was standing to the side, seeing that the mutation rates of the two people on the screen remained unchanged, she finally felt relieved.

"It seems there are no problems at all. Only the physical enhancement effect is slightly different. Now all that's left is to test the land."

"You want to dig up my soil?!"

Lin Qiu was shocked to hear this. Why did this guy seem like he was going to take all the good stuff away?

However, Tang Feilin rolled her eyes and casually explained—

"It's just a small sample of soil to test the composition. It's not like we're going to dig up your backyard with a shovel. After all, your house is the only one in the whole neighborhood with such a unique case."

"It's just a little bit, that's alright."

Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't linger any longer. She silently gathered the few untouched fruits and headed inside.

"Then you guys go ahead with your work, I'm going back to eat first."

"Ah."

Hearing Tang Feilin's calm response, Lin Qiu hadn't taken more than a few steps when he noticed Qi Xi silently following behind.

Why did you follow me?

"As soon as I heard you were in trouble, I rushed over here without even finishing my lunch. Let me have some too!"

Qi Xi stared longingly at Lin Qiu, then pitifully rubbed her tummy.

I rushed over here, only to find some fruit that wasn't seriously damaged. I feel like I've suffered a huge loss!

Lin Qiu rubbed her head irritably, but didn't refuse, and led her into the living room.

Chen Xiao and the others, who had been waiting in the living room for a long time, suddenly focused their attention on Qi Xi, who was brought back by Lin Qiu.

"Ah, it's you."

Qi Xi looked at Chen Xiao sitting at the dining table with some surprise, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Qiu.

You cheated on Qin Yunmo with a girl? And you even brought her home to meet his parents?!

Don't overthink it, I'm just inviting them over for a visit and to catch up!

Lin Qiu glared at the little guy who had such a dirty mind, but didn't forget to introduce him to Ye Qianhe—

"Mom, this is my classmate. Her family has connections with the research institute. She's here for testing today, so I'm taking her out for a meal."

"Oh, welcome, welcome! Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Seeing that Lin Qiu had brought back another cute girl, Ye Qianhe was all smiles and enthusiastically prepared bowls and chopsticks for Qi Xi.

Qi Xi blinked rapidly, glanced at the helpless Lin Qiu, and abandoned her mischievous thoughts, obediently sitting down in the empty seat.

"Thank you for troubling Lin Qiu's mother. If he hadn't asked, I would have thought you were the older sister."

"Pfft - Don't tease me, kid. I'm already so old."

Qi Xi's flattery was undoubtedly very effective, and Ye Qianhe's gaze towards her became much more satisfied.

Lin Qiu, that guy, has such a lovely girl by his side, he can finally enjoy a life of leisure!

However, seeing Qi Xi's cooperative behavior, Chen Xiao frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, and just silently served food to Ye Qianhe.

Meanwhile, Sakuma, who was standing to the side, paused slightly as she picked up food from the table and subtly moved closer to Lin Qiu.

Once she was sure the two were busy glaring at each other, she lowered her voice and asked Lin Qiu—

"Hey, Lin Qiu, who's this white-haired little girl? She's actually connected to the research institute?"

"Karakuri is from her family's company, and she's currently ranked third in the game's arena."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Saki gasped and stared blankly at the unassuming Qi Xi.

Is this little guy that amazing?

"Where are you ranked? I haven't really looked at the arena rankings; I'm basically just doing it to complete tasks and get some rewards."

"I'm fourth. I originally had a higher score than her, but she spent more time in the arena, so I surpassed her."

"Really? Don't try to fool me."

Saki stared at Lin Qiu with suspicion. Although Xianyu had said that this guy was very powerful, she couldn't believe he had reached that level!

"You can go to the arena tonight to check the rankings, but don't tell anyone you don't know well that I'm in fourth place, or it will cause a lot of trouble."

Lin Qiu solemnly instructed, especially those in Yue Du, that they must not reveal their identities, as she had already specifically told Qin Yunmo and Ze Zhi.

If word gets out and reaches Zhao Yunge's ears, it's not impossible that I might be dissected alive in my hospital bed one day!

"Don't worry, I'm just listening to some gossip. It's just that guy Shang Yan spreading rumors again."

Sakuma waved her hand calmly, knowing she was very tight-lipped.

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Qiu felt a little more at ease.

"Oh right, what's the problem in your backyard that attracted people from the research institute?"

"The peach tree has mutated. In just a short while, the tree has become completely unrecognizable, as if by magic."

"Take me to see them, okay? Old Chen and the others are busy getting to know your mother right now, and I'm feeling a bit restless here."

"Okay, wait a bit."

Lin Qiu mumbled a reply, then stuffed a large mouthful of steak into his mouth before beckoning to Saki. The two of them tiptoed and hurriedly slipped out the back door.

"Why are you going?"

Seeing that the two were about to defect, Ye Qianhe quickly asked them a question.

I was just helping you build a relationship with your daughter-in-law, and you ran off first? Can't you do something productive?

"Ahem—let's go check on the peach tree in the backyard, there's a problem there."

Aren't you going to eat?

"I'm full, thank you for your hospitality, Aunt Chizuru!"

Without giving Ye Qianhe a chance to stop them, the two rushed out the back door.

When his gaze fell upon the numerous strange plants in the backyard, Wu Xiaoxiong froze in place, completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? This wasn't what I saw when I went upstairs!

"Has your peach tree come to life?"

"Although it's not, it feels like it'll be soon. Look at those fruits, don't they look familiar?"

"Lin Qiu...can you outsource the land in your backyard?"

213 - Real-world starting point for beginners

"Why didn't I level up after eating it?"

"Are you dreaming...?"

Lin Qiu glanced sideways at Saki, who was frantically munching on fruit that boosted experience points, while he himself was also frantically munching on fruit, looking as if he was afraid of missing out on experience points.

However, Wu Xiaoxiong remained unmoved. She could feel her body gradually heating up, and she was definitely gaining experience!

Before long, even Old Chen will be no match for him!

"Ah, this tastes great!"

"Really? Let me try it!"

"You have your own experience too, don't try to piggyback on mine."

Seeing that Sakuma was about to take a bite, Lin Qiu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Once I eat the last peach in my hand, I'll reach the game's limit for attempts. Then I can just pick up any other fruit, and that should be enough for a newbie to level up!

Sakuma pursed her lips, but didn't care, and swallowed the last piece of peach in one gulp.

His gaze swept over the remaining peach pits, and his eyes lit up—

"This peach pit looks like crystal, it's so beautiful."

"Oh right, the pits of the Twilight Peaches can be used to make delicate knives, and they deal more damage than knives made from them."

"You remember it really well."

Wu Xiaoxiong looked at this guy with some surprise. Generally speaking, people don't care too much about weapons used as temporary measures; they just throw them away after use.

How does Lin Qiu know so much about this?

"I have a collecting habit, so I've looked into all of these things."

Lin Qiu gave a casual explanation, his gaze drifting towards Bai Ya on the other side.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like there's something shiny floating towards her.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at Bai Ya again. There was something shiny there, and his body felt inexplicably hot again.

Faintly, he seemed to feel something within his body resonating slowly with Bai Ya.

Out of kindness, he still tentatively asked—

"Um—Tang Feilin, is something floating towards her?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiu's question, Tang Feilin frowned immediately, her gaze fixed on Bai Ya on the other side.

However, she did not see the shiny thing Lin Qiu had described, and Bai Ya continued to enjoy the fruit as usual.

Even though she didn't see anything, the image of something floating towards Lin Qiu that she had just seen still flashed through her mind.

There is definitely something wrong!

"Bai Ya, do you sense anything is wrong?"

"Hmm—it wasn't anything special just now, but now I feel like there's something on this guy, and something similar is resonating within me."

"Ah, I feel the same way!"

Wu Xiaoxiong also weakly raised her hand and said, "I felt this way as soon as I swallowed the last fruit."

What's going on? Stand users are attracted to each other?!

Seeing that the three of them clearly had some kind of problem, Tang Feilin pondered and looked at the display screen again.
