My anime girlfriend has come into my life

Li Chaoge glanced at Belfast, who was all smiles, and said helplessly.

"Enjoying the master's attention is also one of the perks of being a maid."

Belfast looked at Li Chaoge with a smile.

As expected of Belfast, she had him firmly under her control.

Li Chaoge shook his head, gaining a deeper understanding of Belfast's perfect elegance.

If Belfast hadn't wanted to play a maid game with him, he probably would have already been thoroughly taken advantage of by her.

Li Chaoge picked up his chopsticks without thinking further, but just as he was about to start eating, he found two more pairs of chopsticks next to his mouth.

"Master, ah~"

"Captain, have some!"

Lilith and Blackie said at the same time that they hadn't disturbed Li Chaoge because he was thinking, but Paimon flew over to bother him.

Now that Paimon is running off to snatch vegetables from Mona and the others, they naturally have to follow suit. However, when they realize that the other person is doing the same thing, they both let out a cold snort.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Why is that eyesore still here?!

Both were extremely unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. Firstly, Li Chaoge prevented a direct confrontation between them; secondly, their strengths were still roughly equal, and continuing the fight would only result in a prolonged battle of attrition, making it impossible to deliver a decisive blow and completely defeat their opponent.

Looking at the two of them acting like bickering lovers, Li Chaoge didn't know what to say.

He couldn't handle it, he really couldn't handle it. He had already tried, and even if he held down both of them at the same time, they wouldn't develop any feelings of sharing hardships; they would only laugh at each other afterwards about how ugly their facial expressions were.

If it were anyone else, they would have become good friends long ago. Not many people are as proud and arrogant as these two.

"Bronya, what do you know about that group chat? Can you reopen it?"

At the same time, Li Chaoge took a bite of the food from their chopsticks, chewed and swallowed it, then put his arm around their slender waists and looked at Bronya to change the subject.

He said he was changing the subject, but it was actually a question he had wanted to ask before, but he had been preoccupied with other things and forgot about it.

"It's possible, but there are certain conditions that need to be met."

Bronya was taking small bites of her chicken feet and pan-fried buns when she heard Li Chaoge's words. She was taken aback, glanced at the others without making it obvious, and slowly replied.

"What conditions?"

"Eight different worlds, thirty spots—this is the estimate everyone has for the group chat restart, and it shouldn't be too far off."

"Eight worlds and thirty people?"

After listening, Li Chaoge calculated it carefully.

Hield, Kiana, Bronya, Mei, Exusiai, Bagpipe, Platinum Year, Lucia, Selena, Lilith, Ereshkigal, Mona, Ayaka, Heinrich, Ayanami, Belfast, Miyuki, White McQueen.

Seven worlds, 22 people, even if you add Black Heath and Paimon, it's only 24 people.

In other words, he would have to summon six more people and a new game character?

"Six more people are needed. It seems like we'll be able to start the group chat soon."

Li Chaoge nodded thoughtfully.

Although reality is cruel, we still have to face it. The fact that the group chat is not restarted does not mean that the people in it are frozen. They are still waiting for him in their own worlds.

"..."

When this topic came up, Kiana, Raiden Mei, Raiden and Nian, as well as Ishtar, who had been keeping a gloomy expression, exchanged glances and silently looked away.

Genyuan smiled without saying a word, watching their guilty expressions.

It's true that the group chat is not far off. Although if other people knew that so many people were smuggling themselves across the border instead of just relying on luck and skill to grab tickets, the group would probably be in an uproar.

However, isn't this something to be happy about?

Chapter 133. Conditions for Reactivating Group Chat! (6,000 words)

A gaming company? A tech company? Or some other company?

Li Chaoge himself wasn't really sure what kind of company he wanted to run; he just felt that he shouldn't always be addicted to PUBG with everyone else.

They like themselves, and he likes them; they like each other and are affectionate towards one another. But their lives don't just revolve around him; they have their own interests and hobbies.

Rather than saying he wanted to start a company, it would be more accurate to say he wanted to find something for everyone to do that they enjoyed.

Just like Bronya envisioned the entire game company, he wanted to help them realize their dreams because they liked him. However, there were simply too many of them, and he hadn't anticipated a company or game that could involve most people; after all, everyone couldn't just play their own thing.

"Is Master unable to choose because there are too many options?" Belfast asked with a smile when he saw that Li Chaoge did not answer immediately but was pondering. "Actually, Master does not need to consider perfection and do it all at once. Bronya really wants to start a game company, so let's help her do it."

“Ayanami also enjoys playing games, so she can help Bronya test the game. As for the others, it depends on the situation. Those who are interested can participate in the game's development, and those who are not interested can wait until the game is completed and then play the game together.”

She could tell at a glance what the commander was worried about, but nothing is ever perfectly prepared from the start.

Plans can't keep up with changes; everything must be judged based on the actual situation.

Maybe Bronya is working on the game but then postpones it and decides to do something else instead.

"What about Rhode Island Medical Corporation, which we were talking about?"

Seeing that Belfast didn't mention Rhodes Island, Exusiai immediately raised her hand and asked.

Of course, she wasn't so proactive because she wanted to work. Unlike Platinum, she didn't want to do any work at all, but she also wouldn't deliberately seek out work to keep herself stuck at her post.

She had already decided that once Kal'tsit arrived, she would kick Kal'tsit to work on the company, while she would be in charge of... taking care of accompanying the Doctor on his travels.

“We can’t just start one company; we can start many companies and then have one company hold a controlling stake as the parent company.”

Belfast explained that these are very simple common sense things, and other people just don't pay attention to them and therefore don't realize it.

"Hmm? Then why don't our subsidiaries just use whatever names they want?"

Exusiai's eyes lit up. She decided to start her own Penguin Logistics business and be her own boss. Hehehe, although she hadn't decided what to do yet, it was always good to settle on a name first.

As for the Rhodes Island pharmaceutical company, let Platinum handle the application. Anyway, Platinum doesn't want to do anything and just wants to slack off and have some fun.

"It's a bit outrageous that each person has a company name like this, but considering that there are still many people who haven't come yet, it doesn't seem so outrageous."

Ayaka Kamisato said with some helplessness, "Genshin Impact has seven kingdoms, and Inazuma is just one of them. Even if General Raiden were here and entrusted her with all the matters, it wouldn't work. She could only represent Inazuma's side of the opinion."

Currently, besides Luminous and Paimon, only Mona, who enjoys research, has arrived. She and General Raiden are among the larger groups, but unfortunately, compared to the remaining people from Mondstadt and Liyue who haven't arrived yet...

Xiaogong might want to continue running the fireworks shop, Xiangling will open Wanmintang, and Keqing and Ningguang might continue being big merchants. Everyone has different ideas.

"What's the name of the head office?"

Selena smiled and asked, "The controversy just now was that everyone felt there was only one company name. Now that we've opened it up to everyone to choose, there's no problem. But what about the head office?"

The naming of the head office is also crucial; it cannot obviously favor one side, but it should try to take into account the interests of all parties.

"Well, the head office still needs a name. Let's all give some suggestions so the owner can make the final decision."

Belfast nodded. Although it was true that a head office wasn't necessary, no one would care about the value of a company that was just something they created for fun.

But this is just like the relationships we have now. You can choose not to do it, or you can choose not to do it, but when others get close to the commander, can you remain indifferent?

They came into this world because of the Commander; some forms are more than just forms.

"Refer to...this is a bit difficult."

Lucia shook her head. It was clear that no one wanted the commander to favor one side, and their naming choices would inevitably be more or less biased towards their own side.

"Just find commonalities, and we'll name them based on those commonalities."

Raiden Mei laughed and said, "Of course, it's easier said than done."

It's not easy to find commonalities that are also suitable for use as a name.

Li Chaoge has various roles, including Master, Captain, Doctor, Traveler, Trainer, Commander, and more.

The title "Commander" is used across the worlds of Azur Lane and Punishing: Gray Raven, and even in the world of Girls' Frontline, it is called "Commander." Although the meanings are different, Lucia and Heinrich are all called "Commander."

However, this is undoubtedly not suitable for naming. Putting aside whether it is appropriate or not, the majority of people are addressed as commanders.

"Let's keep it simple, how about calling it the Li Group?"

Seeing that everyone was struggling with the problem, Li Chaoge thought for a moment and then said.

"Isn't this name too common? There must be many people with the same name, right?"

While eating fruit, Nian looked at Li Chaoge with a strange expression.

This name isn't even as good as the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, even though that's a nickname, not the company name.

"The fact that we share the same name isn't the point; the point is that the older brother also has a younger sister named Li Qingge."

Ying's eyes were fixed on Li Chaoge. Sure enough, her brother had been won over by his adopted sister's sweet talk over the years.

However, she had no choice, since Li Qingge had been accompanying her brother for more than ten years. Even though she wasn't his biological sister, she was still like a sister to him.

Fortunately, they came. Otherwise, given how considerate and caring Li Qingge is towards her brother, it's quite possible that she would marry him.

Because they are so familiar with each other, there won't be any conflicts. Since they grew up together, both sets of parents are very satisfied with each other's backgrounds.

"Ahem, this name may be ordinary, but it's the most direct, isn't it?"

Li Chaoge smiled awkwardly, but didn't pay any attention to Ying's jealousy.

He was indeed doing it because of Qingge, because Qingge confided in him about everything, and he also knew about her friend's fabrication of a Li's Cultural Group to tease her about being a rich young lady.

If he didn't know that Qingge was the girl next door he had grown up with since childhood, he would also think that the elegant Qingge was a well-mannered rich girl, the kind of rich heiress from Jiangnan.

However, although he had a selfish desire to make Qingge a real rich girl, his reasons were not false.

Actually, it would be better for the company name to be more ordinary. After all, he doesn't want to become a big corporation, so the name doesn't matter. In any case, the ones who will be in the limelight are the various bizarre companies that they come up with.

When Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, Ironblood Military Industry, Anti-Entropy Technology, Penguin Logistics, and Houmu Games appear in the future, and the second generation discovers that these companies are all controlled by people who look very much like the characters in the original work, they will probably all shout that the second generation has broken through the barrier.

"Um…"

The group exchanged glances and slowly nodded.

This girl named Li Qingge is indeed very caring and considerate, and she and Li Chaoge have a very good relationship.

They weren't sure what the future held, but if Li Qingge didn't leave, they could leave her some things.

Although they felt that given Qingge's current attitude towards Li Chaoge, it was hard to say that there was no romantic feeling between them, but that was not something they should worry about.

"Then it's settled. The parent company will be named Li's Culture Group. As for the other subsidiaries, everyone can discuss them individually. Just let me know the names when you get back."

Seeing that everyone had no objection to the commander's suggestion, Belfast confirmed it again.

Ultimately, she will have to handle this matter, but as a maid, it is her basic duty to share her master's burdens.

By this time, the food was almost served. They stopped saying those childish things and started discussing where they were going to go later while enjoying the delicious dishes.

Buying a ring is important, but it's a done deal, and they don't worry about it much, so everyone's attention is focused on other things besides buying the ring.

It's rare for so many people to come out together, so they definitely want to find a suitable place to have fun. Although there aren't many places suitable for so many people to play together, isn't the process of discussing it also a kind of fun?

Li Chaoge didn't participate; she simply watched them chatter freely in their discussion.

He's thinking about how many people haven't come yet, and how many games he played back then.

He's already overwhelmed with just over twenty people, and it's difficult for him to take care of everyone. It's ridiculous to calculate based solely on the 500-person limit in the group chat, not to mention that the number of people in that group isn't complete; many games only have a small number of people in the group chat.

He didn't know whether he should regret it or not.

During his time as a shut-in, he could say he fell in love with every girl he met. He thought one character was beautiful, another was handsome, and he felt sorry for the new characters who endured a lot of hardship. However, he found another character's selfless spirit of sacrificing herself for her teammates particularly captivating.

Although theoretically he wasn't being promiscuous, he was essentially just yearning for the beauty he saw on screen.

But when he broke through the barrier again, his dream came true, and all the girls he had liked came running to him.

He's not a scumbag, but he's even more outrageous than a scumbag.

Now he wants to know how many games he has played, or how many different game worlds exist in that game group, so that he can be mentally prepared.

Although he felt that this preparation was useless, just like how he liked Bronya, Lucia, Belfast, and Ayaka, what was going to happen would still happen, completely beyond his control.

"Chaoge, Chaoge, here's one of these shrimp balls for you!"

While eating and thinking, a pair of small, fleshy legs in white stockings appeared in front of Li Chaoge.

"Paimon, why did you bring this specifically for me to eat?"

Seeing Paimon carrying a white shrimp ball with a fork to him, Li Chaoge smiled, put down his chopsticks, and reached out to pick Paimon up.

Paimon is quite cute, but I don't have much time to play with him. Oh well, Paimon is still too young.
