Although we cannot rule out the possibility that Liyin was persuaded by us, I would rather believe that Liyin really made this decision from the very beginning.

I had a rough idea in my mind about the nature of this seminar president.

Tao Jing exclaimed: "Huh? That means?"

Ignoring Tao Jing, Li Yin looked at me and said, "There's no need for a guarantee, and you don't need to do anything extra. The Millennium Club Competition will be held in two months. Since the game development department is so confident about their next work, we'll see the result then."

After thinking for a while, Li Yin added: "Also, the club membership must be completed before then. That's all."

After the words fell, the whole place was silent.

Then, a series of popping sounds suddenly rang out.

"That's great. The problem has been solved successfully." Noah smiled and applauded.

"That's not good!"

Tao Jing asked Li Yin anxiously, "Does that mean that we need to produce qualified results in the Millennium Club Competition? To what extent do we need to achieve this?"

"Even if you can't get first place, at least you have to win a prize to prove the significance of your game development department's existence."

"It's all over!"

In an instant, Xiao Tao showed an expression as if the world was about to end, and wailed:

"No way! You're asking such high standards of us right from the start. Even an established club can't consistently win awards! Are you a devil? Are you a devil?"

Looking at Xiaolu and Youzi, they also showed strong anxiety and even despair.

So, is it difficult to win a prize in this Millennium Club Competition?

Yuka's remarks answered my question at the right time:

"President? Do you really want the Game Development Club to be among the top few in the largest competition of the millennium that most clubs will participate in?"

“…I’m sorry, too.”

Liyin lowered her eyes. "This is the limit of my tolerance. Instead of seeking sympathy in front of me and trying to bargain, why not focus more on making games?"

After these words were spoken, the girls in the game development department gradually calmed down.

"There's nothing I can do... I have to do it."

Tao Jing let out a long sigh, ignited her fighting spirit, pulled Xiaolu and Yuzu, and went to the corner to whisper.

The handling of the game development department has been decided.

Next, we can only do our best and take one step at a time.

Taking her eyes away from the game development department, Liyin looked at me:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. But I'd like to ask why you're here today? Is it for the game development department?"

“That’s partly why.”

I said to Liyin sincerely, "Liyin, I came here just for you today!"

These words are like a huge rock thrown into the water.

Yuka was dumbfounded, Noah's smile froze, and the game development department in the corner all looked over here in surprise.

Liyin fell silent for a moment before she said in a deep voice:

"Teacher, I need to correct you on one point. Judging from what you said, it can no longer be called a 'special trip'."

"Ahaha, just a joke."

Then the air seemed to begin to flow again.

I took out my phone from my pocket and asked Liyin, "Well, can we exchange contact information?"

"……Why?"

I said disappointedly: "No, I came here for you."

Liyin stared at me for a moment: "...Okay."

I smiled triumphantly, and recalled what Noah had just said to Liyin, which I had overheard using [Wind Listener].

"President."

At that time, Noah's words were filled with a meaningful smile.

"You don't want to be hated by the teacher, do you?"

Chapter 7: The Amazing Wisdom of Cai Yu Tao Jing

After everything was done, I took the game development department to express my sincere apologies to the seminar again, and then left with the three people.

When I reached the corner of a secluded corridor, I stopped, and Midori and Yuzu also stopped.

After catching Tao Jing who was still walking forward with her head down, I frowned and said in a deep voice to them who were anxious:

"You guys really caused me a lot of trouble."

"Ouch...I'm sorry..."

Seeing how cute they were, I couldn't help but laugh. Then I hugged them all and rubbed their heads vigorously.

"So, you must do your best to make a game that the judges will approve of and that will satisfy Liyin. I will also do my best to support you!"

“Eh…? Me too…?” Yuzu exclaimed in a shy and timid voice.

"Okay, teacher, I will try my best." Lu agreed obediently.

"Ahahaha~ Teacher, stop that~ Your clothes are so dirty~" Taoi laughed silly.

Tao Jing! Before you complain about it being dirty, don't you think about who got on top of it?

At this moment, I finally understood Yuka's mentality when treating Momoi.

A naughty and silly child is always a worry and makes people angry.

Thanks to Tao Jing's words, I deliberately rubbed it for a while longer before letting go.

"So, what's the situation now?" I asked the girls who were combing their hair seriously, "Are you short of funds?"

Lu looked at me timidly and replied in a low voice: "Yes..."

I nodded and didn't ask them why they didn't go out to work before I got to know them better.

As a teacher, I believe that the game development department must have some unspeakable secrets.

"Don't open a casino anymore," I warned him. "If you really have trouble with this, I can lend you some money for emergency."

I think, considering the size of a 16-bit retro game, it shouldn't cost that much money.

"No, you can't bother the teacher like this anymore..."

Yuzu mustered up her courage, "If I have to work part-time, I'll do it. I'm the head of the game development department, and I can't just sit back and watch my juniors and teachers contribute to the club."

"Yuzu..." Midori asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"

Yuzu immediately lost her temper and cried out with a sad face: "Wu... For everyone, I will try my best..."

Tao Jing nodded: "Well, let's work hard together, but don't force it."

Seeing that they had already made up their minds, I didn't say anything more. I just wanted to contact them more often and find opportunities to take care of them as much as possible.

At this time, Tao Jing said indignantly: "Damn you, President, for making things difficult for us like this."

Yuzu stroked her chest and said in fear: "Ha, it's just as scary as the rumors say... I thought I was going to be killed..."

Midori has a clear understanding of the current situation: "I think it's our own fault."

"Well, that being said," Tao Jing said stubbornly, "You're asking us to go to the Millennium Club Competition to win a prize right away. Isn't that simply asking too much?"

I reached out and rubbed Tao Jing's little head again: "Okay, it's all settled now, why don't you think about how to make a work worthy of winning an award. There are still two months to prepare, so do your best, there is still plenty of time."

Tao Jing curled her lips and admitted unwillingly: "That's right..."

Seeing this, Xiaolu on the side also said hurriedly: "Well, I also think that this requirement is a bit too high for us now."

"So during this period of time, you should also improve yourself."

Although I don't know why Midori, who was so conscious just now, suddenly became uneasy, it is definitely right to pat his head at this time.

As expected, Lu said obediently: "Yeah~ I understand."

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect that Yuuka would actually speak up for us. The president even said that Yuuka was protecting us before."

Tao Jing pondered deeply, with a gleam of astonishing wisdom in her eyes, and came to a reasonable conclusion: "Could it be that Yuuka is playing a double act with the president?"

I guess, even if Yuka heard this, she would just shake her head and sigh, and would not regret pleading for the game development department at that time.

"Sister, don't think too badly of Yuka."

Midori frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Although Yuuka always troubled us before, if you think about it, she was just doing her job as the student council, and she never deliberately made things difficult for us. We were the ones who made the mistakes first..."

"Oh, I know! I was just joking, I'm not really an idiot!"

Tao Jing, who thought she was not an idiot, said with a bitter face: "I know I may have had some prejudice against Yuuka before, but she is actually a pretty good person. Isn't it common among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army? Tsundere cadres who are in the dark but look to the light, and they may even join the protagonist team in the later stage."

"I really have to thank Yuuka, and the teacher as well."

Yuzu whispered.

Tao Jing nodded solemnly: "Well then! In order to live up to everyone's expectations of us and to defeat the real big devil, President Li Yin, let's go back to the activity room to hold a combat meeting. I already have some ideas. Will the teacher come too?"

"sure."

I nodded as if it was okay, and thought to myself that I should tell Izuna later to ask her not to wait for me anymore.

It's normal for combat meetings to go on until late at night, right?

However, just as she reached the first floor of the Millennium Tower, Tao Jing heard the reminder sound of MomoTalk.

She glanced at her phone and her expression suddenly changed to one of sorrow.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Yuuka... I still have some trust in Yuuka..." Tao Jing reluctantly showed the information on the phone screen, "She asked us to go back to the seminar office to clean up... The time spent on cleaning can be used to compensate for the voluntary labor..."

"Ah, I forgot about that. Let's go back quickly then."

Midori said to me apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, it looks like we'll be busy for a while. Can we schedule the operational meeting tomorrow?"

"Of course, there's nothing to apologize for. Then wait until you guys get out of school, I'll come over when I finish work."

Xiao Tao was still mumbling, "Damn it... Even though they've made such a request, they still haven't cancelled the self-criticism and voluntary labor... Are they really going to ask me to write a 10,000-word self-criticism?"

"Well, these are two different things..."

Yuzu said hesitantly.

I can only say that Tao Jing’s idea is quite beautiful and makes people laugh.

After agreeing on a time to meet tomorrow, I waved goodbye and watched the game development department get on the elevator.

After pondering for a moment, I took out my cell phone and sent a message to Yuuka.

Chapter 8 The Perfect Maid Agent

Me: Yuuka, are you there?

Yuka: Um, teacher, what's wrong?

Yuka: By the way, I want to thank you for helping those children out just now.

It turns out that she is Yuka’s mother, and she is really worried about the game development department.

Me: You’re welcome, this is what I should do.

Me: And, congratulations, Yuuka.
