"Even if we have their contact information, it might not work out. Rather than putting our hopes on such a low-probability possibility, it's more worthwhile to get a set of figurines."

"Are you right?"

Qingyuan stared blankly at the fish-stealing cat. If she had to put it bluntly, this dishonest fellow was trying to gain benefits without any cost.

As long as Lin Qiu understands the pros and cons, he will know which side to choose!

Faced with Qingyuan's incredibly sharp gaze, the fish-stealing cat suddenly felt a chill run down its spine, scratched its face, and turned its head away.

As for the sweet rice balls on the side, they listened to their conversation thoughtfully, their eyes occasionally sweeping back and forth between Qingyuan and Lin Qiu.

It seems that their relationship is definitely better than that of the fish-stealing cat.

"So what if I get the job? I'll just come here every day and get some replies, and see how you're doing here, Qingyuan."

The fish-stealing cat grumbled, its gaze equally malicious as it stared at Qingyuan. It wouldn't believe that nothing would happen between a man and a woman alone in a room!

However, it seems that Lin Qiu, with his blockhead, is still in the dark, which is quite amusing.

Hearing the hidden meaning in the fish-stealing cat's words, Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, but she managed to calm herself down.

Even if this guy discovers something, it doesn't matter. Let him say whatever he wants online, as long as it's not exposed in reality.

"Now that you've taken care of your business, let's talk about mine. I came here today to accompany Qingyuan through the maze, and also to buy some potions from Huiyuan."

Just as the little house fell into an eerie silence, the sweet fermented rice balls suddenly spoke up.

"Oh right, I also heard Qingyuan say what kind of potion you want to buy? I've listed everything I can do here."

As Lin Qiu spoke, he pushed a notebook that looked like a menu from the table toward Yuanzi.

The current progress of the frontline strategy is not quite enough, and I don't have many potions that I can make myself, but the effects are still quite good. I have recorded the basic information in this notebook.

"Let me see... Wow—there are quite a few good items here. I've seen these in the trading market before, and they were extremely expensive!"

"The market price is quite expensive, but the friend's price will be much cheaper, so don't worry."

Lin Qiu smiled and explained, but his gaze toward the sweet fermented rice balls turned dangerous.

Every time someone comes to buy medicine from me, they're like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!

011-Your figurine wife is gone

"Ten portions of this kind, one hundred of that kind, and fifty of each of these sides..."

"Wait! Yuanzi, are you sure you want to buy this much?"

Before the sweet fermented rice balls could finish reciting, the fish-stealing cat quickly stopped her.

Are you planning to use every single potion in this notebook?

"Any questions?"

Sweet Rice Balls blinked and looked towards Lin Qiu. Wasn't it said that the potions produced by this guy were of very high quality? It would be good to buy more so that they could have some on hand.

"Of course! Although this unscrupulous merchant is a bit ruthless, the quality of his medicine is genuine. For dealing with the strategic battles on the front lines, we only need a few bottles for emergencies, and then some targeted special medicines. There's no need to buy so many."

"Hey, who are you calling heartless? If it weren't for me, the average price of potions on the trading market wouldn't have come down."

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes in annoyance, thinking to herself that she was being very conscientious!

Upon hearing this, the fish-stealing cat snorted coldly. Although some potions were cheaper than the market price, some potions that only alchemists could make were still extremely expensive.

Otherwise, how could this guy be so rich!

"That's it..."

Glutinous Rice Balls murmured to herself, glancing at the many tempting potions on her notebook, and suddenly felt conflicted.

After recalling the numbers in her bank account, Yuanzi thought for a moment before tentatively asking—

"Huiyuan, do you support bank transfers? I don't have many gold coins, but cash transactions are no problem."

"Sure, but usually it's more common to exchange gold coins for cash at a certain ratio."

Lin Qiu scratched his face, but this would cost a considerable amount of money.

"It's fine, let's just do a cash transfer. I remember there's a platform in 'Kara no Kyoukai' that supports this kind of transaction."

"Wait a minute, Yuanzi! Are you sure you want to pay in cash? It's incredibly expensive!"

"Well—in reality, I'm actually quite wealthy, so I can afford a few bottles of medicine."

With a smile, Jiu Niang Yuanzi explained that her wallet was still bulging.

Damn it, is he one of those rich kids?!

In that instant, Qingyuan saw that Lin Qiu and the fish-stealing cat simultaneously showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

It has to be said that these two are quite similar in some ways.

"Cough cough!"

With a soft cough from Qingyuan, Lin Qiu also came back to his senses and quickly corrected his attitude.

"Yuanzi, you've placed quite a few orders. Even if I use all my inventory, it won't be enough for the time being. How about this, you wait a couple of days, and once I've finished making them all, we can exchange the money for the goods?"

"No problem, I have plenty of time."

Is this the carefree life of a rich kid? Rich and idle!

Lin Qiu felt incredibly envious; she longed for such a life too!

"Now that the introductions are over, I'll be going now. I haven't finished with school matters yet, and I'll take this opportunity to talk to my sister."

Seeing that the deal between the sweet fermented rice balls and Lin Qiu had been reached, Qing Yuan took her leave.

Although I agreed to trade my sister's figurine for it, getting it will still be a bit of a hassle.

"Oh, I'm getting ready too. I have class tomorrow. What about you guys?"

Lin Qiu looked towards the other side, at the fish-stealing cat and Yuanzi.

"I'll log off too. I have class tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good to be late on the first day of the new semester if I play too long and can't get up."

"Huh? Are you all students?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Niang Yuanzi was stunned. What was this feeling of being the oldest person in the room?

"I'm a high school student, and I'm a junior this semester."

"Me too." ×2

Qingyuan and the Fish-Stealing Cat, who spoke at the same time, looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Such a coincidence?

However, the sweet fermented rice balls fell silent as she listened, her lips twitching slightly.

Playing this game at my age really shows I'm still a child at heart!

As the three people looked over, Yuanzi's eyelids twitched, feeling as if each gaze was pricking her like a needle.

"Um—I have something to do, I'm logging off now!"

Before the three could ask any questions, Jiu Niang Yuanzi called out and then vanished from the spot as if fleeing for her life.

Lin Qiu and the others exchanged glances, seemingly realizing something, and tacitly remained silent.

"I'm logging off now. See you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye-"

The three of them didn't linger any longer, said their goodbyes, and quickly logged off.

The entire cabin fell silent once more...

"call--"

A slightly relaxed soft breath drifted out from her mouth. After taking off the virtual stealth helmet, her slender figure lying on the bed lazily turned over.

After smoothing her hair, which was slightly messy from being pressed down by the helmet, and resting for a while, the girl slowly sat up.

After glancing at the wall clock and confirming that it was still early, the girl hesitated for a moment before getting out of bed and heading towards the door.

She opened the door and glanced into the living room. Seeing that no one was there, Liu Mei frowned. The situation was not good; it seemed that her sisters had all gone back to their rooms.

With a helpless sigh, the girl finally tiptoed to the bedroom on the other side of the living room.

"Click."

The bedroom door wasn't locked; the girl turned it gently and opened it.

A delicate, sweet fragrance wafted from inside the house, instantly relaxing everyone's mood.

Everywhere you look, the room is filled with all sorts of anime merchandise, and the pure white walls are completely covered with posters. Just one door away, the room is like another world.

Inside, on a comfortable, soft bed, two little girls who look almost identical are sitting there holding game consoles.

Aside from the fact that their pajamas are red and blue, it's almost impossible to tell which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister.

The two were like exquisitely crafted dolls, indescribably endearing and petite.

Upon seeing their eldest sister suddenly enter, the two younger sisters' cute little faces immediately showed expressions of confusion.

Isn't the eldest sister usually playing games at this time? Why is she suddenly coming to their room?

Faced with her sisters' questioning gazes, the girl remained silent, instead fixing her gaze on a particular series of figures on a display case.

All seven characters were placed on the dilapidated model of the venue, their exquisite craftsmanship so flawless that it was like a work of art that was truly captivating.

Seeing her older sister suddenly stare at her precious figurine, the little girl in the red pajamas instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

Before she could even ask, she saw her older sister slowly walk to her display case, carefully pick up the most expensive tray of figures, and then...

They stormed out the door and fled!

The little girl in the red pajamas watched her sister commit the entire crime with wide eyes, her gaze frozen in that instant.

Only my second sister's voice drifted in from the side—

"My dear sister, your waifu figure is gone."

012-Mom! My eldest sister has a boyfriend!

"Oh no!! My figurines! All the limited edition figurines I bought with all my allowance!!!"

A piercing scream echoed in the living room as Qin Dan frantically scratched at her sister's bedroom door, as if she had lost her mind.

Just for her barging into my room and taking away my figurine, it's no different from stealing my wife!

You're your own sister, how can you steal someone else's love like this!

As for Qin Xuan, who followed her out, he covered his ears expressionlessly and glanced at the scenery outside the window from time to time.

After confirming that the neighbor hadn't been woken up by her younger sister, she looked back again.

"Little sister, if you keep arguing like this, people who don't know better will think there's a domestic violence incident in our family."

"Waaaaah!! Ah Xuan, Sister Yunmo...she stole my wife!!"

As soon as Qin Xuan spoke, Qin Dan rushed over with tears in her eyes, her young face filled with a look of utter frustration.

It's one thing if the older sister steals other things, but I just turn a blind eye and let it go.

But damn it, they just had to grab the most expensive ones, and they grabbed seven of them, not even leaving themselves a base!

"Okay, okay, don't cry."

Qin Xuan tried to soothe his younger sister with a gentle tone, rubbing her little head. Once she had calmed down a bit, he spoke again—

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Sister Yunmo just had a sudden urge to use your figurine to loosen up her muscles."

"..."

Qin Dan's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes in that instant, as if she were imagining the scene of her figurine being brutally dismembered by her older sister, and she immediately became furious.

"Sister Yunmo, please don't destroy my figurine!! Take it out on me, my wife is innocent!!!"

Ignoring Qin Xuan's attempts to incite trouble, Qin Dan knocked on the door with increasing terror, fearing that if she waited any longer, she would only see the dismembered body!

As for Qin Yunmo inside the house, he helplessly covered his ears and leaned against the door.

Although I had anticipated this situation from the beginning, it was still quite torturous when it actually happened.
