All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Club funds? Well, sit down, don't just stand here."

Yan Rou pointed to the empty seat next to her. The student in the seat was not there at the moment, so they could sit there for a while.

After they were both seated, she spoke again—

"Do you two have any questions about the club's funding?"

At this point, Lin Qiu nudged Ze Zhi with his elbow, signaling her to speak up quickly.

This is a matter for your club; it's your turn to step in.

"Well, here's the thing, our news agency is planning an outreach trip to the Kyoukai (Sky Realm) game company for a visit and interviews, and then we'll compile the information into news articles and publish them on campus. Do you think you could... offer some support?"

"Ah-you're here to ask for club funds."

Yan Rou reacted immediately, her gaze fixed on the somewhat shy Ze Zhi with amusement.

But she didn't agree immediately; instead, her expression changed, revealing a hint of headache.

"But this is a bit difficult. You are the eighth people to come today to ask for funds. It just so happens that everyone wants to hold an event recently, so it may be difficult to allocate funds."

"what?"

What other clubs or organizations are there?

"For example, a cooking club, a basketball club, a pet club, and so on."

"hiss--"

This is getting a bit tricky...

Zezhi frowned slightly, unsure of what to do.

Does this mean I have to resort to bribery? But if bribery were effective, I wouldn't have received such a good evaluation from Qin Yunmo.

If all else fails, we'll have to use our last resort!

"Senior, do you play Kara no Kyoukai?"

"Oh? You want to help me level up and increase my affection level? But I'm part of the strategy team, so this trick of yours doesn't seem very effective."

Yan Rou said with a smile, her flawless appearance making Ze Zhi feel terrible.

No wonder Yunmo said that the student council's affairs were much easier; he's completely impervious to reason!

"Qin Yunmo introduced us here."

In the end, it was Lin Qiu who spoke up, which slightly piqued Yan Rou's interest.

"Introduced by Yunmo... Um, are you her friends?"

"Uh-huh!"

Ze Zhi nodded vigorously. She and Lin Qiu were very familiar with Yun Mo online, let alone now that they had met in person.

"Since you were introduced by Yunmo, that makes things easier. I can approve your funding application, but there's one small condition."

"What conditions?"

"Please send me the news you publish as soon as possible; I'd like to try it out myself. And please give my regards to Qin Yunmo."

Upon hearing that it was Qin Yunmo who introduced her, Yan Rou immediately became much more agreeable.

The student council members get along quite well, but I'm a little distant from Qin Yunmo. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take this opportunity to do him a favor and get closer to him.

"Really!"

"After all, it was introduced by the famous Qin, so we naturally have to make an exception for him."

Yan Rou explained, her gaze fixed on Lin Qiu with some surprise.

Even if you're not particularly close to her, you can tell that Qin Yunmo has never been close to any boy, let alone had any male friends.

What's the deal with this guy?

"Then I'll approve it for you directly. By the way, junior, are you and Qin very familiar with each other?"

While rummaging through the application forms in her desk, Yan Rou asked in a casual tone.

She was quite interested in Qin Yunmo's situation.

The boy in front of me looked clean and refreshing. Although he was a bit lazy, he was surprisingly attractive.

Could it be that Qin Yunmo likes this type?

"Me? I'm... I'm alright."

Lin Qiu scratched his face. They were absolutely familiar with each other online, and they were also getting closer offline.

We should be considered pretty familiar with each other, right?

"Eh—I see, a suitor?"

"No, I'm just her deskmate. But she recommended that I come to you, senior, to learn how to study systematically. My grades are pretty bad, but this girl's are even worse."

When the topic of grades came up, Lin Qiu couldn't help but point at Ze Zhi, implying that he wasn't the only one who was bad at the game.

Zezhi immediately glared at him. Did he really have to drag her down with him? Couldn't he at least leave a good impression on outsiders before the New Year?

088 - Does that figure look familiar?

"Although I got it, I felt surprisingly relieved. I thought there would be some harsh conditions."

Holding the approved order in her hand, Zezhi muttered to herself, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I brought the unscrupulous businessman with me, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to handle that stubborn woman.

"Alright, don't forget to call me if you're going to the company later."

"Okay, I won't forget you. I'll go find the teacher now!"

Without wasting any time, Zezhi grabbed the order form and ran downstairs.

The sooner we get the funding, the sooner we can set off!

Lin Qiu watched the guy's hurried back and couldn't help but smile. Instead, he strolled around the street more leisurely.

Since it's still early before lunch break ends, I might as well check on the situation here.

He hadn't forgotten that there was a shut-in hiding in the school. He wondered what he looked like, and whether he would be similar to his character in the game.

As he wandered around the floor, he didn't seem to see any similar figures and sighed in frustration.

It seems that luck isn't always on your side; recognizing someone solely by their character's appearance is still a bit difficult.

"What's wrong, junior? My attempts to test the waters here didn't work, so you're thinking of targeting other single female seniors? Your appetite is quite something."

Just as he was about to go downstairs, Yan Rou's voice suddenly came from behind, startling him so much that he trembled.

He quickly turned around and saw Yan Rou standing behind him, looking at him with amusement.

"Ahem—is there something you need, senior?"

For some reason, Lin Qiu instinctively felt a little intimidated by Yan Rou and subtly moved back a bit.

Seeing Lin Qiu's little actions, Yan Rou's joyful smile deepened.

This junior has a pretty keen sense of smell.

"It's nothing - I just happened to see it when I came out to use the restroom. Junior, if you linger here and keep glancing around, you could easily be mistaken for a suspect who is stalking and peeping. Someone might call the police."

"Senior, could you please put your phone away right now...?"

Seeing Yan Rou's incredibly skillful movements, Lin Qiu's eyelids twitched violently.

I haven't done anything yet, and you've already pinned all the charges on me. That's a bit much!

"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Hurry up and go back. Remember not to attack any girls who are alone on the way. If I see on the news the next day that a student went to jail for assaulting a girl from the same school, I'll be in trouble too."

Yan Rou teased with a smile, then stared intently at Lin Qiu for another moment before waving and turning to walk back to the classroom.

Lin Qiu stared blankly at her retreating figure, scratched his face with a wry smile, and then turned around and walked down the stairs.

If possible, I'd better avoid running into that strange senior again in the future.

Compared to that, Sawaori is much cuter.

The premise is that it does not involve malicious harassment during sleep...

When Lin Qiu returned to the classroom, Qin Yunmo also returned to his seat, looking at the messages on his phone somewhat absentmindedly.

Noticing Lin Qiu's return, she casually asked—

"Did you get the funding?"

"Yes, things went very smoothly after I mentioned your name."

"my name?"

Qin Yunmo was stunned. Was that guy trying to do him a favor?

"But as you said, her personality is quite eccentric."

Recalling Yan Rou's various remarks, Lin Qiu's lips twitched involuntarily.

If you're not careful, you could be led astray by that guy!

"The students in the student council usually find this aspect of her quite troublesome, but they get used to it after getting to know her better. Although it's a bit strange, she's still quite popular with the boys."

"Hey—maybe everyone's XP system is different."

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes, thinking that it was much easier to get along with Ze Zhi and the others.

Qin Yunmo's attention returned to his phone, staring blankly at the text message Qin Xuan had sent.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke—

"Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dan are staying at your house tonight. Please keep an eye on them."

"They're coming over tonight? Ah—no wonder Chie stayed overnight at your house before, so it was agreed that they would take turns coming."

"Oh, and by the way... you'd better lock your room door."

Recalling the figurines he had previously snatched, Qin Yunmo gave a very serious warning.

I absolutely cannot let Xiaodan see her figurines, or she'll explode! I won't be able to sleep peacefully then!

"Huh? What could I possibly have in my room? If she likes figurines, I'll just give her a few. I have plenty of those anyway."

"It's not a matter of how many or how few, it's just... anything else is fine, just don't take out that set of figures I gave you!"

"What you gave me... Oh! I remember now, it was a really great set of figures, right? I even put it on my figure display shelf. You said you got it from your sister..."

As if he had thought of something, Lin Qiu suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The next second, he quickly took out his phone and frantically pressed buttons, directly calling Chie—

"Chie! What are you doing right now?!"

"Huh? I'm playing with Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dan right now."

"That's good, Chie. Don't bring them home before I get back! Delay it for as long as you can!"

"Huh? Why?"

Chie looked at the message Lin Qiu sent with a confused expression, not quite understanding what he meant.

Has something happened?

Ah—could it be that you want to take Sister Yunmo home first and then give them a surprise?

"Cough, it's nothing, just hold them off! Be good, I'll buy you candy when we get back."

"oh-"

After hanging up the phone in a daze, Qianhui looked thoughtfully at Qin Xuan and Qin Dan sitting next to her.

Now that things have come to this, it's probably too late to tell Lin Qiu that they're already in his room...

Qin Xuan and Qin Dan's attention was clearly not on Qian Hui at the moment; their eyes were fixed on the entire wall of figurine display cases in front of them, and the specially installed lights made them momentarily lose their focus.

Is this the kind of room only a true otaku could have?

They're all high-quality figurines, each costing thousands. The value of just one cabinet is equivalent to the value of an entire room of my own!

But as her gaze moved upwards, Qin Dan seemed to notice something, and her eyes widened in surprise—
