Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　The bodyguards beside Cong Yu and the others were also startled and quickly reacted according to their professional standards...

　But I always felt it was too late.

　……

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Should he offer to help?

　Or should I try to catch it and then be pinned down by the alien homeroom teacher to become a human cushion... "Lucky Pervert"?

　However, if Cong Yu were to be overpowered by his opponent, then he would have wasted his reputation as a "battle-hardened warrior".

　Never mind, I'll just accept it...

　With this in mind, Cong Yu simply hugged the alien homeroom teacher... I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that my Earth homeroom teacher used to be hugged by Cong Yu in the same way.

　The alien homeroom teacher, who had been caught, stared at Cong Yu, her savior, with sparkling eyes.

　Then, under her gaze, Cong Yu gently opened her mouth and said, "Are you alright... Xiao Fen?"

　"..." The whole thing collapsed instantly!

　"Why are you calling me 'Little Pink' too!?"

　The embarrassed and annoyed alien homeroom teacher straightened up, while the woman behind her, who breathed a sigh of relief, burst out laughing: "Hahaha!!!!"

　"Hahaha……"

　The woman, who was bursting into laughter, was almost laughing to tears: "Alyssa, you're just too funny, ahahaha..."

　"..." Cong Yu: "Huh?"

　Hikaru Yokawa: "Huh?"

　Lantianzhu and Xiaocui: "..."

　-

　The alien homeroom teacher is named Alisa. Her surname is difficult to pronounce, and her full name is very long, so many of her friends like to call her Little Pink.

　Although the alien homeroom teacher herself didn't really like the nickname, she was called it so often that she didn't actually hate it as much as she seemed to.

　However, she bears a striking resemblance to her homeroom teacher, and has hair color similar to both her homeroom teacher and Alisa Onishi...

　Her name was still Alisa.

　This inevitably gives one a sense of strangeness.

　However, the alien homeroom teacher is more useful than the Earth homeroom teacher, and also richer than Alisa from the distant shore... It feels like an upgraded version that combines the two.

　"Little Pink Sister, do you have a brother?"

　Xiao Cui asked this question, but the alien homeroom teacher was too exhausted to even comment on the title. She said weakly, "No, I'm an only child."

　Yao Chuan Guang, who was drinking the alien-themed beverage served by the butler, seemed quite surprised: "Eh? There isn't one?"

　Upon hearing this, the alien homeroom teacher was practically driven to madness, complaining, "Why would I need to have that?"

　That's right...

　Lan Tianzhu nodded and continued to press the alien homeroom teacher named "Alissa": "What's your father's name? Gareth?"

　The alien homeroom teacher was speechless. She took a sip of her drink and said, "What are you talking about... My dad's name is Natsu."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Natsu... Natsu?

　Cong Yu wasn't going to complain that the owner of this name also had pink hair; instead, she was eating alien sweets and drinking alien beverages.

　Some of these are jelly-like desserts that look like jelly. However, they are soft and more like pudding.

　The aroma of nuts indicates that the dessert's main ingredient is nuts, or similar nuts, which are rich in oils and proteins.

　While Cong Yu was pondering these things, the three little ones had already started chatting with their alien homeroom teacher, while Ailiya added to their comments...

　It's basically about things within the Disaster Committee.

　Then, while everyone was talking enthusiastically...

　"Oh ho, Little Pink also has handsome men and beautiful women."

　The woman in her early twenties with the smug grin approached, carrying a box that looked like building blocks: "Let's play 'Knock-Knock Fun'! It's more fun with more people—"

　Upon hearing her invitation, the alien homeroom teacher watched speechlessly as she squeezed next to him, muttering, "Can you stop messing around with your stupid little games? Modern people play on devices now."

　However, compared to the alien homeroom teacher's speechlessness, Yaochuan Guang was quite interested in the small box in the woman's hand.

　"Huh? Could it be one of those games where you put a little penguin on a platform of bricks, and then take turns knocking the bricks off the platform. Whoever knocks the penguin off loses?"

　Yaochuan Guang and others had seen this kind of game before.

　Lan Tianzhu nodded, recalling the videos he had come across: "Classic board games... I've seen them, but I've never bought or played them."

　After all, it feels like I won't be able to play it many times.

　Alien homeroom teacher: "..."

　The woman holding the board game: "..."

　In the silence, a look of shock appeared on the woman's face: "How did you know? Was my idea plagiarized?!"

　Afterwards, when she learned that Cong Yu and his friends were civilized and that the "board game" culture was still thriving and full of vitality, her expression was very sorrowful.

　She thought that the game format of "board game" was her own idea, but it turns out that it can't be considered original.

　But looking at it from another angle...

　We'll never lack creativity again!

　Chapter 991 The Abyss of Board Games

　Imagine if someone's name was "Yagami" (八神), it would probably remind people of a flamboyant, fire-wielding punk.

　The woman who likes board games has a name that, when pronounced in common language, is similar to "Yagami" (八神), with only two slight differences.

　"Six Gods, it's your turn."

　As the alien homeroom teacher spoke, he fiddled with the waist of the game designer known as "Six Gods".

　In response, Liu Shen crossed his hands in front of his face and looked at the "knock-knock" game in front of him in a thoughtful manner.

　This game is similar to the "Brick Breaker: Save the Penguins" game on Earth.

　It's basically a table with a stand on it, supported by four legs.

　The top is made of uniform hexagonal bricks.

　The bricks are fixed together by friction to form a tabletop, which is suspended in the air below, and a small penguin is placed on the central brick of the tabletop.

　Countless players take turns using small hammers to randomly select and knock down bricks on the platform, while keeping the little penguin from falling.

　Whoever's penguin falls during their turn loses.

　It's a board game geared towards young children that tests both logical thinking and hand stability when breaking bricks.

　Yes, it's geared towards younger children.

　To be fair, playing games aimed at younger children occasionally can be surprisingly fun...

　Just like adults can be interested in wind-up frogs.

　However, for the game designer of "Six Gods," who now needs to use a hammer to knock down the next brick, it might not be so interesting.

　Because at this moment, the situation on the table is quite simple...

　A straight line.

　Yes, the five connected bricks were barely wedged onto the platform and hadn't fallen. But there were clear signs that they were sliding down.

　Meanwhile, a black and white penguin model, almost identical to the penguins on Earth, droops precariously in the very center.

　To break another brick, unless the person breaking the brick is named Steve and can create an infinite amount of water from two blocks, it's probably impossible...

　Moreover, let alone breaking bricks, even if "Liu Shen" just moves the table slightly, the whole game will collapse.

　"I give up! I surrender!"

　As Liu Shen said this, he decisively put down the hammer in his hand, looked up with a sigh, and said, "I lost, I lost! Sigh... it seems I should design a more interesting board game."

　To Liu Shen's words, the alien homeroom teacher sighed silently: "You've seen your handsome guy, and you've played board games with him, shouldn't you get out of my house now?"

　As he said this, the alien homeroom teacher looked at the persistent bug and could only shake his head before continuing to play with his terminal.

　"Moreover, you get tired of a set of board games after playing it for a while. If you keep designing and selling them, the costs are high, and you can't make much money."

　The alien homeroom teacher's words left Liu Shen somewhat silent, but she couldn't refute them... after all, what the other party said was true.

　At this moment, Cong Yu was somewhat amused by what she heard.

　Board games don't make money? Haha...

　Only conscientious board games won't make money.

　Besides Cong Yu, Xiao Cui also thought of something: "Board games... actually seem quite profitable."

　As she spoke, Xiao Cui, who had once been a fan of board games, sighed and began to recount her own experiences.

　"I've played a board game called Magical Girl Duel. A single card pack could sell for over twenty yuan, and the company that produced them could sell a huge number of them at once."

　"To get a usable deck from a card pack, you need three 'main battle cards,' six 'skill cards,' and a total of forty 'item cards' and 'support cards.' It's so expensive!"

　"Furthermore, each season introduces new cards and new archetypes, limiting previously strong archetypes and forcing board game players to constantly buy new card packs and decks. Otherwise, they will be defeated by others who have purchased new decks."

　Xiao Cui recounted this, recalling how invincible the "Summoning Spirit" system had been. However, it had been severely weakened before the crisis in Moirai even began.

　What? You're asking why Xiao Cui knows so much?

　Haha, because the "spirit" in the [Summoning, Light, Spirit] system is the main fighter [Spirit King Xiao Cui], who is printed with the image of the magical girl Xiao Cui.

　Of course, after Xiao Cui and Cong Yu's identities were exposed, and Cong Yu's brother shone brightly in the battle against Mo Yilai...

　Magical Girl Showdown released a new skill card for [Elf King Little Green], which greatly boosted the character's stats... and made them a huge money-making scheme.

　But that's all in the future, because Xiao Cui had already given up on the project.

　The Earthlings were all amazed by Xiao Cui's words, while the alien trio looked on in astonishment.

　Because they had no idea what card games were, it was as if they had opened the door to a whole new world...

　Cong Yu continued, picking up where Xiao Cui left off, "In China, there are similar board games that also involve releasing expansion packs to make money, but the profit-making model is slightly different."

　So Cong Yu began to tell stories about "nobody" and "someone who shook China"... and so on.

　The two pure-blooded aliens and the spiritual Li people were completely stunned, their minds filled with thoughts like, "Is this even possible?!"

　-

　"Thank you very much!"

　As Liu Shen spoke, he excitedly grasped Cong Yu and Xiao Cui's hands: "Thank you for providing me with these ideas."

　As he said this, Liu Shen looked at the notes filling his terminal, as if he had found some treasure.

　"Board games are expensive, so we reduce costs by using standardized playing cards and cheap printing methods."

　"The risk of card damage can be transferred to the player by selling card sleeves at the same time."

　"The problems of short lifespans and lack of novelty in board games can be solved by randomness and changing content through a 'season' model."

　"The drawback of 'one-time purchase' in board games can be mitigated by continuously releasing new cards and weakening or limiting older ones."

　Liu Shen muttered incantations, gazing at the twilight outside the window, his eyes burning with fervor as he walked toward the door.

　Go... her shadow stretched long behind her.

　"Abandon conscience, embrace money, embrace success; abandon conscience, embrace money, embrace success... Hehe! I've got it!!"

　"..." Inside the room, Cong Yu and Xiao Cui, who were seeing her off, exchanged a glance, and then looked at each other with the others behind them.

　I have a feeling that they taught some bad things.

　An alien who was originally a board game enthusiast seems to have had an "epiphany" and is about to become a formidable demon.

　In an instant, Cong Yu seemed to see countless board game designers who could be listed in "The Shining Stars of Board Games" laughing wildly behind Liu Shen's back.

　It contains dogs, science fiction, Cxgames, and even the director of XB... Oh, right.
