I won't be a loser.

Sayu Ogiwara is in Tokyo, so the time they spend together has obviously decreased a lot compared to before, but since they have holidays, it is not a big problem for them to meet.

"Any ideas for the future?"

"Stay in Tokyo...Besides, I also want to have Xianren's child, is that okay?"

The young girl sat on the bed, her pure eyes filled with deep expectation as she looked at the wise man.

Facing the girl's expectant gaze, the wise man was once again taken the initiative to talk about the child. This time, he did not seem to be troubled. He was silent for a while and then gave an answer.

"Wait until you finish your university studies. Your studies are more important right now. Besides, I don't have much energy to focus on taking care of children right now."

"Xige also wants to give birth to a child for you."

"..."

There was silence for a moment. Looking at Ogiwara Sayu in front of her, the girl's eyes wandered for a moment.

"She's had this thought before, but she just didn't say it. Although I've always been by her side, Xige obviously cares more about you, Xianren. If she had your child, she would probably be happier."

"I will discuss this matter with Xige."

The wise man simply gave a bland answer to this matter.

Chiba New Story: 468. First generation members make their debut!

"How can I describe it better... Compared to the environment I imagined, it seems... simpler?"

After reaching a preliminary agreement and confirming that the three models from Chiba had enough time, they invited them to the Tokyo office to show them the working environment first.

Before entering the office, Kirino Kousaka was still full of expectations. After entering the office, she looked at the simple environment and her expression became a little subtle.

"Ah...is this the future work environment?"

Kanako Kurusu looked around and confirmed the environment inside the office. She turned to look at the wise man beside her with a look of disappointment.

On the other hand, Aragaki Ayase looked extremely calm and did not show any rudeness because of the environment inside the office.

"It's a bit shabby due to funding issues, so we've saved some money on decorating the interior of the office. We'll gradually improve the environment over the next period of time. Also, as virtual idols, we generally don't need to come here to work. We just want everyone to come and see the office's headquarters."

"Don't you need to come here in the future?"

There was a hint of disappointment in Kanako Kurusu's eyes. She thought she would work in Tokyo in the future, and she felt a little excited inside.

Compared to Chiba, Kurusu Kanako is more interested in Tokyo, the bustling city and the heart of the country. Even though the cost of traveling back and forth between the two cities is not low, a woman would not consider these things!

"Most of the time, we can conduct live broadcasts at home. Occasionally, when there are events or programs, we also conduct these broadcasts in a studio with professional motion capture equipment, rather than in a... cramped studio like this."

After hearing Kento's answer, Kousaka Kirino nodded as if she understood. Aragaki Ayase didn't quite understand, but she probably got the meaning. Kurusu Kanako was not stupid either, but she also had some questions.

"What equipment do I need to deliver messages in my own home?"

"We need a computer, preferably a desktop. We have some requirements for performance, not too high, but it needs to be mid-range in the current market. You don't need to worry about that; the firm can take care of it."

The three of them looked at each other. Kousaka Kirino already had two computers, so theoretically she didn't need one, but she didn't know whether the other two needed it, so she didn't refuse the offer.

Kanako Kurusu and Aragaki Ayase looked at each other and just nodded.

After staying in the office for a while, there was really nothing to see in the "simple" office. After half an hour, Xianren led the three of them to the Shinjuku area, where they had lunch together in a highly-rated restaurant. He then accompanied the three of them for a stroll in Shinjuku and sent them back to Chiba.

It’s not that Xianren wanted to let the three of them move freely, but he was the one who brought them to Tokyo. If he didn’t send them back to Chiba personally, if something went wrong, it would be difficult for him to explain to their parents as Xianren.

Kanako Kurusu really wanted to stay in Tokyo for a while, but under Aragaki Ayase's persuasion, she quietly followed him back to Chiba.

After contacting the artist online and making the task model, it will still take some time before the virtual idol in his own agency can be officially launched. During this period before the launch, Xianren has already started purchasing advertisements and publicity to promote his own agency and the concept of the so-called virtual idol.

"Kurasu Kanako's personality doesn't quite fit the 'otaku' mold, so she's likely targeting a more female audience. Kousaka Kirino, on the other hand, has some knowledge of 'galgame' and should be able to attract some fans. And then there's Aragaki Ayase, whose personality could create the image of a serious young lady."

Adding "Awei" makes it four people. As new students, four people seems a bit too many, and the initial goal was only three people.

Xianren, who was sitting in front of the computer, was working on related planning content. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight during this period, and there was a faint dark shadow around his eyes. This attracted the concern of Yuanye Ningning, who specially cooked wolfberry chicken soup for him.

Facing the chicken soup served in front of him, the wise man sitting in front of the computer didn't know how to describe his feelings...

Some time later, he went to meet the guardians of the three people again, confirmed some matters, and signed the contract. When facing Kousaka Kirino's father, the other party's strong sense of oppression made Xiandu feel a little uncomfortable.

When he learned that the other party worked at the Metropolitan Police Department, he showed a look of realization, pursed his lips, and did not ask in depth about the other party's family situation.

About a month later, Xianren contacted some people again. After confirming their situations, he asked them in depth about their situations and changed his plans for debut.

For example, the trio of Kousaka Kirino, Kurusu Kanako, and Aragaki Ayase remained in the first generation, but were divided into different projects.

"The image is all set as a high school student, and the basic image is a school uniform with black stockings."

As the president of the firm, he does have this little bit of power!

"Chairperson 'Tsukiyo Mito', the Chin Alien [crossed out] Kendo Club's hidden and serious man 'Kenchi Touya', the Queen of Demons 'Ryu Danson', the part-time Japanese tea and cake maid 'Xu Hai Tsu', and the unidentified clown 'Zhou Liyi'."

Five people, plus another three people, a total of eight people debuted.

Staring at the list in front of him and the content of the plan he was thinking about, Xianren couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Previously, I was worried about not being able to find the right candidate, but now so many people have suddenly appeared, which makes me feel a little headache. Is this a happy trouble?

Among these people, many have outstanding talent in speaking, as well as excellent singing skills. They are even good at creating memes when chatting, and are quite outstanding contestants.

"But the problem now is funding... We need to find a way to attract some funds as soon as possible. If we can get investment, that would be great."

Facing the team he had initially established, the wise man sitting in front of the computer let out a long sigh.

The financial problem was indeed difficult for Xianren to deal with. With no other choice, he contacted his wife and talked to Feng Xiaochun, explaining his current situation. Feng Xiaochun then asked Xianren to accompany her to the Tokyo Industrial Bank.

After a series of operations, 20 million yen was transferred to Xianren's bank account.

Looking at his wife, the wise man standing in the bank felt inexplicably heavy in his heart. He bit his lip, looked at his wife in front of him, opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

For a period of time afterwards, a lot of time and energy were invested in his career, and even some things at school were neglected by Xianren. It was not until November that the general preparations were almost completed. At this point in time, it was not suitable for debut.

At the end of the year, he let everyone take a break. After a peaceful New Year, he lived with Feng Xiaochun in Feng's home in Tokyo for a while. In January after the New Year, he officially started to launch his own virtual idol group!

2018 1 Month 31 Day.

Members of the agency began preliminary activities and carried out some activities on the Internet, attracting the attention of some netizens, especially those otakus who have been hanging out on the Internet for a long time.

As some people's attention fell on the firm, it soon fell into a brief period of calm.

It’s April 2th.

'Overclocking' was officially established, abbreviated as 'OC Club', with a total of eight first-term students, and officially began their activities.

With the early training from Xianren, most of them quickly mastered the skills of live streaming, and attracted a large number of curious viewers in an industry that was still in its infancy. With the exquisite models and diverse character settings, they gradually gathered a stable audience.

Although the term "virtual idol" was invented in 1990, the concept of "virtual anchor" was not born until 16, and until 18, not many people paid attention to this industry.

The wise man, who has the memory of the future, has a relatively thorough understanding of the future path of this industry. While others are still in the stage of ignorant exploration, he has already had a relatively complete and stable development plan. The high requirements for the members within the agency have made the entire agency members show a style in the live broadcast, which surprised most netizens and generated a lot of goodwill. He soon received the pursuit of many otakus.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mari-san."

"This industry is currently a hot topic online, so it's just an interview and report, so there won't be any problems."

A phone call was made to Mari Fukazaki, asking her to use her identity in the publishing house to contact the newspapers under it and interview the virtual anchor in the agency. Mari Fukazaki did not refuse and agreed readily when she received the call from Kento.

Afterwards, the news that appeared in women's newspapers also made some girls interested in this industry. The highly positive comments about the entire "OC Club" mixed with personal opinions in the reports also attracted considerable attention from girls.

In the following period, members of the firm all saw a surge in subscriptions.

The most popular people are probably the chairman's 'Tsukiyo Mito' and the kendo club's 'Kenchi Toya'. Being good at gossip has a considerable advantage in this industry. The number of subscriptions quickly exceeded 20 and is heading towards 50.

Income also skyrocketed in a short period of time! Soared wildly! Soared sharply!!!

Although it didn't reach tens of millions, the revenue in the first month was already in the millions, which is a good sign.

The industry had just begun to develop, and the audience had not yet been cultivated. A turnover of one million yen was already a good start, but it was also during this month that other agencies were established and began recruiting new members.

Xianren, who was sitting inside the firm, looked at the recent work arrangements and the firm's recruitment of members, and his face seemed a little depressed.

For example, you have to continue to invest, even if there is a slight shortage of funds, but you still have to invest, absorb and launch the "second-term students" and "third-term students" as soon as possible, and you need to strictly screen the members to confirm that these people do not have any serious moral problems before they can enter the firm.

He didn't want to have a dark history of making inappropriate remarks after signing the employment contract, which would cause unnecessary trouble for the firm.

"It's a pity that the current resources are insufficient. There are quite a few investors who have approached us, but the conditions are too harsh."

Rubbing his forehead, Xianren felt extremely tired in recent times. He basically fell asleep as soon as he got home, and his body became more and more tired day by day.

Those capitalists are simply hyenas. After they set their sights on him, the attitude they displayed was exactly that of a wolf. If he really agreed to it, even if he was not working for that group of people in vain, it would be almost the same. The effort and funds invested would sooner or later belong to that group of people.

Try to stay steady.

This was Xianren’s recent policy, but soon some troublesome things happened. For example, some strange people suddenly appeared in the place where the office members lived, and they kept knocking on the girls’ doors.

There was clearly a doorbell, but instead of pressing it, he just banged on the door.

Even if the police were called, there would be no effect. Such things are very common in this country and are not taken seriously.

The helpless wise man asked the other party and after confirming the general situation, he recommended moving to a safer and more protected place. Of course, the rent also increased a lot, and the firm took on part of it.

Fortunately, during this period, the cash flow income has been gradually increasing, which is not a big problem for Xianren. The safety of these firm members is obviously more important.

Half a year has passed.

Those agencies that have made long-term preparations have also launched their own "virtual anchors" and "virtual idols" and appeared on the Internet. Different styles have also attracted and divided the current audience groups, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

But fortunately, the team has already introduced two groups of members, the 'second generation' and the 'gamer', which has expanded and consolidated the audience group. So, there is not much panic when facing those new entrants.

Chiba New Story: 469. A Cold

One step ahead leads to every step ahead.

When Xianren used the human wave tactic to continuously fill his agency with new people and promote them to the audience, virtual anchors of different styles quickly occupied the small market, catching other agencies off guard. They were squeezed out of their living space before they could gain a firm foothold.

The entire industry seems to be dominated by "OC Club". Even if the turnover of one person is not very large, after launching many "second-generation students" and "third-generation students", the turnover income suddenly becomes considerable, and the monthly turnover soon reaches the level of tens of millions of yen.

At the same time, some professional agents were hired to divide some matters within the firm into different parts and handed over to these people for handling. Internal inquiries were also conducted, and those who were enterprising and had the ambition to gradually expand their fields were given more advanced training, while those who were content with the status quo were divided into another part.

It does not mean that we will give up the part of being content with the status quo, but for those who are talented and enterprising, the wise man is prepared to provide more resources to let these people stand on a bigger stage.

"As for the script, you can also ask famous manga artists like Sorachi-sensei, who are good at dialogue and can create some interesting conversations. If that's all that matters, you can ask other screenwriters. The content should mainly introduce the virtual anchor industry, or show the style of our 'OC Club' members to attract those otakus who don't know much about this field."

In the conference room, he lowered his head to look at the document in his hand, which contained some thoughts of the wise man. After confirming it, he explained and instructed the office staff beside him.

"Also, the quality of the peripherals and collaborations must be guaranteed. A higher price is fine, but the quality must be up to par. You can ask Lawson about collaborations; they should be interested in this collaboration, and we can outsource the production of the peripherals to them. As for our own card game, we can borrow gameplay from the current market, but the most important thing is that the rare cards must be sufficiently rare to command a high price."

One item after another was ordered, and everyone quickly began to mobilize, sitting in their respective seats and making their own preparations. For example, Xianren returned to his office, sat down, and rubbed his forehead.

There is so much work to do, and I am currently troubled by it all.

"When it comes to card games, we can't just focus on offline. We should also be preparing for mobile games. Our current funding is still insufficient. We need to prepare at least hundreds of millions of dollars. We can start with a plan."

Staring at the various plans in front of him that had been completed but could not be implemented, and then looking at the financial statements within his own firm, he couldn't help but rub his brows. After slowly standing up, he asked others to rest and left the firm first.

The club in Chiba has already produced many galgames. Under the guidance of Xianren, it has become well-known in the industry and has a small number of fans.

After leaving Tokyo, Xianren returned to Chiba and went to his home. He looked at Fujiwara Momoka who was resting at home and asked about the whereabouts of others.

"They all went out shopping. Ningning went back to Tokyo. Himeno and Kosaka should be heading to the city center now. They will probably be back in a while."

"Well, after I come back, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"what?"

"As for work, I've been in Chiba for so long, it's almost time to return to Tokyo. I can move there this weekend. I recently rented an office building and I'll give you one floor. In the coming period, I'll recruit some staff and develop some other game content besides Galgame."

"Other game content?"

There was an expression of confusion on Fujiwara Momoka's face. She stared at the wise man in front of her and couldn't help but pursed her lips.

She didn't really want to leave Chiba. Once she left Chiba, wouldn't Xianren, who was still living in Chiba, rarely see them?

By then, the free accommodation will be gone, and she won't even be able to meet Kenshin. Fujiwara Momoka, who has already adapted to life in Chiba, cannot accept such a life.

"Then if we return to Tokyo, won't we have to rent a new house? And we won't be able to see you anymore. It's better to stay in Chiba. Maybe life will be easier here."

Facing Fujiwara Momoka who directly expressed her thoughts, Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, also thought about it seriously. He felt that if they returned to Tokyo like this, it would not be a good thing for Himeno Ikari and others. However, they should not have any expenses in life for such a long time. Even if they returned to Tokyo, they would not be without the cost of renting a house, right?

"Considering renting a place is indeed a problem right now, so let's stay in Chiba for now. But moving to Tokyo is inevitable, so I should be prepared. After arriving in Tokyo, my salary will increase, so there's no need to worry about that."

This is not about salary!
