The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"The strongest creature on the surface of the earth during the Spring and Autumn Period of Yan State & the great sage Confucius once said in "Lun Yu" -

At thirty, one is established; at forty, one is free from doubts; at fifty, one knows the destiny; at sixty, one's ears are obedient; at seventy, one can do whatever one wants: Thirty opponents can make me stand up; at forty, I won't have to hesitate (whether to attack); at fifty, I can tell them that I am the destined one (nemesis); at sixty, I can beat them until they kneel down and beg for mercy; at seventy, I can just come at will.

What does defeating one or two bad guys prove? Unless you defeat 100 or like me! If you can't do that, go train and learn!

"Oh!"xN

"A wise man delights in water, a benevolent man delights in mountains." This means: a man of martial arts enjoys stopping the flow of water with his strength, while a benevolent warrior enjoys training himself by cutting through mountains with his bare hands.

Bullying the weak is nothing; the truly strong are those who can surpass themselves! Human power has its limits, but those who transcend those limits and the might of nature are the true warriors!

"Oh!"xN

Seeing that his speech was almost ready, Ping Xin began to arrange for them to study intensively. He had already paid for a team of professional instructors to come. This way, there would be no need to worry about the surrounding security in the future... As long as they could later - why not set off now?

As the leader, Ping Xin secretly took the bucket and ran away. He also arrived at the next meeting place, a membership club in Kabukicho, Tokyo.

"Ah——I'm so sorry for being so late. I kept you waiting~"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. I—"

A middle-aged man in a black suit was hit on the back of his head and was immediately speechless. After realizing his position again, he chose to remain silent. There was no need for a second voice in this meeting room today. He had known about this for a long time but had only been hoping for luck.

He thought that as the leader of the Dark Horse Club, one of Tokyo's biggest underground gangs, he could make them wary of him, but how could someone who invited all the leaders of these giant gangs here and held them at gunpoint be someone to be dealt with? How could he be fooled by such a bluff?

"It seems that everyone has good tempers, so I will continue. To be frank, it is -

I accidentally dug up your roots, hey~"

Ping Xin casually mentioned the fact that they had cut off the biggest source of "talent" for their organization, which was the bad boys.

Are they angry? Angry.

Are you surprised? Yes.

But what can be done? Nothing.

In the past, they were the ones pointing guns at other people's heads, but today the situation seems to be a little different.

"And I'm here to discuss business. Anyway...please don't do those illegal businesses, okay?"

Are you kidding me, you little brat? Do you think you're some kind of Dark Knight?!

The bigwigs of the underworld are angry!

"I'm here to give you something new to do. Don't worry, I'm sure you won't lose out. It's fun when everyone makes money. As for the profit... this powder has a much higher profit margin than those white products you have."

111, young people, really?

The expressions of several bigwigs relaxed and they all laughed together. It was about making money, so it wasn't shameful at all!

At this point, the milk tea demon, the trading card demon, and the travel purchasing demon will appear on the land of the East Country. Let Ping An Credit, which has been a world-leading business experience for decades, give them a little shock.

Chapter 119 Remedial Course Department

After a short meeting yesterday and leaving behind the professionals in charge of the handover, Pingxin returned to the bad tutoring center in the suburbs. He had already asked for leave from the school for them and had informed their families. Apart from some parents who were ignorant of the consequences and thought it was profitable and wanted to make a quick buck, he encountered no resistance.

Hiranobu, who returned with comfort food and rewards such as comic books, game consoles, magazines, etc., was welcomed even more enthusiastically, even by his part-time personal maid Murokasa Akane and part-time combat maid (?) Meganelu who followed behind him.

Putting aside Nero, who was treated as a daughter and then lost her temper and started a fight that ended in a melee, the various facts including his strength and influence in arranging everything, his record of raising an "excellent daughter", and the company of beautiful maids have made the bad guys believe that what Ping Xin said is not a joke. If you follow the big boss, you will have strength, status and power, and even women will follow the strong man!

The so-called training is the process of overcoming instinct. The greatness of the human species is that they can rely on their own rationality to act. The perfect answer is to combine rational methods with emotional motivation.

But those who are more intelligent among the bad guys will think about why Ping Xin is so good to them——

"Of course it's because to dominate the world you need strong partners. Can you become my strength?" Ping Xin gave his own answer, and then received an unexpectedly enthusiastic response.

"King Pinghai, please guide us!"

"Lord Nobunaga, we follow you, Kouya!"

"Captain, lead your brothers and charge again!"

Ping Xin's half-joking, half-serious, and somewhat unrealistic "middle school" remarks were unanimously recognized by the bad guys. Their vision is still too narrow!

I have been wandering around for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise leader.

If the chief doesn't forsake them, they are willing to become his sworn brothers!

In short, a half-joking goal was set for them to make them feel that they were also people who could "do great things". Then Pingxin knew that this was a sure thing, and then he deserted again and returned home after the inspection.

"I'm back--"

"Welcome back, brother."

"Where have you been today? I heard someone got into a fight alone outside the gates of Shengxiang School and actually won. Could it be you?"

Seeing his sister Asuka Mashi waiting for him at the door a few minutes in advance and the lazy Mitakeran playing with her phone on the sofa, this is indeed the life he wants to live.

As for the big boss, wanting to be the king? Please, all that intrigue is a nuisance. I just want to play music!

*Don't make me stop~

But we still need to give her some strength, otherwise this guy's "birth star" will dim...

Roselia and the other three, who were diligently studying Hirayuko's "Become a Musical Instrument Master in One Month (Hardcover Edition)" based on the ideas from the 365 and Hell series, felt a chill on their backs. Imai Lisa, who was particularly afraid of ghosts, even cried out inadvertently. Only Minato Yukina, the professional singer who was obsessed with Hirayuko's music library, was still happy.

The enhanced brain that Ripple obtained after the upgrade is even better than the ghost brain in the "Baki" series in comprehensive evaluation, so his thinking efficiency has been improved, but because there are more things to do, the progress of the book has been delayed.

Ghost Brain: Capable of high-intensity combat calculations and movement prediction. Because it's specialized in combat, it's less effective than a more general type like the Ordinary Brain in handling other tasks.

The saved time is also spent on "meaningless" things such as chatting with Asuna and writing letters to "pen pals". Pingxin is really busy recently!

After reaching an agreement with the Yakuza bosses, who controlled vast swathes of land and real estate but lacked liquidity and legal operations, Pingxin spent most of that night and the next day finalizing the specific details and any back-up plans in case of any maneuvering. It was a very Batman-esque, very dark and shady situation.

After handling official business for a day like the "unemployed" student president like Kaiba Seto, Hirashin showed up at the old school building on time after school to give extra lessons to Karin and Asuna, but he didn't expect that -

"Nero, Zhuyin, when did you come here? Yes, I will teach you too."

Although he didn't know why Miganelu and Murokasa Akane also wanted to participate in this after-school tutoring session, Ping Xin still agreed. However, now he always felt like a high monk who had gone to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures -

A very agile and powerful fighter (Meganelu), a fun-loving atmosphere maker (Ichinose Asuna), an honest person who works hard and silently (Kadodate Karin), and an observer who spends most of his time in the OB but is always by his side (Murokasa Akane)

It’s me? It’s me!

I don't know if everyone's sudden enthusiasm for learning is a change, but *it's a good thing!*

Pingxin lived a dull life like this, getting up early every day to go jogging with his younger sister Xiaoshi, then going to school for "paid slacking", and tutoring his four daughters after school every day, until May 5th of the following week, an ordinary Monday.

"Those who can use the classrooms here are all formal clubs approved by the school and the student union. So, what club are you from?"

A tall woman with black hair, red eyes, and a figure even more explosive than Asuna, Karin, and Akane questioned him. The cold expression on her fair face showed obvious hostility, disdain, and fear, but all of it was directed at Hiranobu.

Strange, where and when did she offend this person? The problem is that she doesn't seem to have attended junior high school here. Could it be that she accidentally knocked down her brother when she was fighting 1000 bad guys alone?

No matter what, this extremely beautiful but hostile and cold woman is more terrifying than 1000 delinquents in Ping Xin's eyes!

Wow, it’s a beautiful woman, retreat quickly!

Ping Xin seemed a little confused, so he stuttered and answered tentatively: "I...we are the supplementary lessons department?"

Yes, since the activity involves supplementary lessons, then it must be the Supplementary Lesson Department. However, this answer didn't satisfy her: "I'm Tiaoyue Liyin, a new member of the Student Union in the first year of high school. I know the names and activities of all the clubs at Shengxiang Middle School, but I didn't know there was such a thing as a 'Supplementary Lesson Department'. This classroom has been requisitioned by a newly formed club. Starting tomorrow, please don't come here anymore—"

A new club? But the club recruitment period had long passed, and Ping Xin thought that no one would be interested in joining the club... However, although she looked a little hostile for some reason, she didn't seem to be seeking revenge.

"I understand. Then let's gather at my house for the next tutoring session—"

What? Your house?!

Diao Yue Liyin was angry!

Chapter 120 Confession

Ever since that day when Yue Liyin got angry after being transferred for no apparent reason, Ping Xin and the others hadn't gone to any tutoring sessions, nor had they tried to seek an explanation. After all, she had followed the rules, and Ping Xin had confirmed that the classroom was indeed needed for the new club's activities. Secondly, Ping Xin was afraid of beautiful strangers, and very afraid...

During the ten days from May 5th to May 16th, the relationship between Ping Xin and the four girls gradually deepened again, and they got to know each other better. There were also plots such as "Ping Xin was found to have the latest birthday and was taken care of by the 'sisters'", "After losing the bet, he used a tattoo sticker to get a cheap 'ghost back'".

Under Hirayobu's arrangement, Karin works part-time as an apprentice at various restaurants, earning a living while honing her culinary skills. She now also prepares Hirayobu's lunch boxes during the workday. While she's not as skilled as a master chef, receiving a handmade lunch from someone she loves is a joy in itself. Whether it's underhanded tactics or frivolous ulterior motives, Hirayobu has always been a "despicable" person.

Meanwhile, Nilu, under Xiaoshi's guidance, underwent grueling "maid training." Though Pingxin had no idea what they were training for, the two seemed to be competing in every aspect. Every day, they would work for nearly half a day, each exhausted and utterly shabby, after which Pingxin would use Ripple to replenish their energy.

As for why he is always practicing the role of Ripple, the invincible stand-in "World"?

I'm really unfamiliar with it, it's just a gift from Ripple!

Ripple is the real panacea that can be used everywhere, wave gate!

The most amusing thing for him was that the two of them were actually competing to see who had a better relationship with Ping Xin. But one was his sister and the other was his brother, they were not on the same level at all, what was there to compete for?

These ordinary little stories in daily life remind Ping Xin of a fact all the time:

Kadotate Karin, Miganel, Ichinose Asuna, and Murokasa Akane had gradually become part of his life, even his social circle. He seemed to be getting along well with the girls from Afterglow and Roselia, as well as everyone around the shopping district. He was actually getting along with them more naturally than with Hira Shin!

He was very happy to see that several people had become interested in musical instruments and bands under his influence (he fully recommended them), and his experience of going to livehouses was much better under their "escort". Perhaps this is a win-win situation.

I have made clear my general plans for the future: Roselia's debut performance, helping Nello reconcile with her mother, continuing to follow up on bad tutoring and other business collaborations, and completing my temporarily shelved travelogue. Then there are the daily trivialities like tutoring and exams that are not worth mentioning.

Afterwards, Ping Xin, feeling that his social phobia (referring to the special fear of women in society) was gradually improving, began to consider the next step in his life - in short, to find a girlfriend!

Yes, when it comes to high school students in the East, besides being able to do everything except save the world every day, they also want to fall in love! Pink youth! White phase... this one is not auspicious, so forget it, anyway, they just want to do something!

To be honest, as Pingxin's interactions with the beautiful girls grew closer, his gun control had reached its limit! While the ripples helped him isolate his lower body from the effects of his second brother while thinking, the constant gun control was psychologically unbearable. Who wouldn't want to fire at full force?! But his desire for a girlfriend wasn't driven by pure sexual desire; otherwise, why wouldn't he be into prostitution or just be a scumbag with his face and money?

In short, there are two top candidates for the role of girlfriend in Pingxin's mind:

One is Kadotate Karin, and the other is Ichinose Asuna.

Meganelu was his female sibling, so he automatically ruled it out. Murokasa Akane and he and her maintained a normal social distance (compared to the others), so it wasn't that close. Furthermore, both of them were engaged in maid activities under Alpha's guidance (?). The thought of a workplace romance was quite troublesome... As for the others, they were either too familiar to have any feelings, or not familiar enough to be that close.

As for the harem... he thinks he is a pure love party and a purebred "Shuang Ge" who has never had a girlfriend (in two lives). This kind of thing is just something to think about and talk about online. You can fool your buddies but don't really fool yourself.

*Look at the [Harem] tag, don't worry~

As for why Karin is ranked ahead of Asuna: firstly, Hiranobu and Karin knew each other earlier and have similar life experiences. Secondly, both of them are relatively socially anxious and introverted, and their personalities are more compatible with Asuna, the "little sun". Their interactions at school have proven this.

Anyway, on May 5th, a rather ordinary Saturday, he was going out on a date with Karin and looking for a chance to confess his feelings. A confession was a clarion call to victory, not a charge. In Hirayuko's mind, this confession was a sure thing. How could you lose with a flying dragon on your face? But since it was his first confession, it was better to be cautious. Anyway, he'd just try to be roundabout and test the waters...

Ping Xin then began to look ahead and behind, worried about gains and losses -

He was never vague when it came to big things, but when it came to himself, his relationships, or women, he was always at a loss. He might be able to empty women's wallets with his business plans, but the truth was, he really didn't understand women, at least not completely.

Today, Heishin is taking Karin to the same shopping street they went to before. He's not going to run into any stupid women this time, is he? This reminds him of something. He was just trying to scare the woman when he told her about being in a vegetative state and having her organs dug out. After all, Heishin isn't some evil spirit.

He simply hired someone to intimidate the woman lying on the hospital bed for two months according to the previous "settings", and recited scriptures in her ears every day.

She was punished (tortured) for two months as compensation for the two years of bullying against Karin. As for whether she would collapse and become a fool afterwards... I think she didn't think about the consequences when she was bullying?

After packing his clothes and even styling them with some simple waves, Ping Xin went out. Today he and Karin had an appointment to meet at the cafe in front of the game center station, hoping for a good result.

Maybe this time, he can really get a new family with his own hands.

Chapter 121 The Coming Fate

In front of the game center [Wheel of Fortune], a brown-skinned woman wearing a light blue denim miniskirt, a black bra that exposed her upper body, and a loose white shirt with short sleeves stood there, staring at the word [Fortune] on the sign. Her rare skin color, proud figure, and beautiful cheeks attracted passers-by to stare.

Destiny means fate and luck.

Fate and luck are two different concepts, but in literature, "fate" often refers to destiny, something humans must stubbornly fight but cannot defy. Fate exists as something invisible and intangible, yet ever-present within us. The struggle against fate, or the struggle against one's own destiny, is a perennial theme in literature, games, and other artistic fields.

But can humans really resist their own destiny?

Karin didn't know, nor was she interested. She didn't know if the act of resisting fate itself was part of destiny, but she only knew that no matter what happened, it seemed to move in the direction her best friend, Ichinose Asuna, hoped for, or in the direction that was most beneficial to her, without exception.

So would her result this time be different from his? Hua Lin didn't know, but she wanted to give it a try, even if she said she would never give up. But in the end, people can only try to deceive themselves but can't change their true feelings.

She loves Ping Xin, loves him deeply.

Was it from the day she went to his room and listened to him play that song, or was it even earlier? Kadotate Karin didn't know.

Before meeting Hirayukoshi, she had never been a good student, nor had she had any romantic experience. Therefore, the answers to these questions could only be found on her own, just as one's own destiny requires one to fight for and struggle for it. Before leaving today, Karin had a premonition that today would be a very important day for her.

But can she "beat" Asuna?

It would be difficult, I suppose. Whether it was talent for anything, appearance, background, interpersonal skills, or the complementary nature of her personality with Hirayobu, it was difficult for her to surpass Asuna. This was the truth (as she thought). In order to leave a deeper mark on Hirayobu, she used the dishonorable "lowly woman" method, trying to get Hirayobu's lower house to interfere with the judgment of the upper house.

Even though Ping Xin is kind to everyone, she can feel that she has a special place in Ping Xin's heart. She is the existence that Ping Xin "loves"——

Even if it was just this body that was constantly being spied on by him, being able to feel that she was "loved" made Hana Rin extremely happy. Ping Xin's special care was like a quagmire, unconsciously drowning this simple girl who longed for love. The unprecedented emotions in her heart even made it difficult for her to breathe, and her heart beat faster and faster as if it was about to escape from her chest!
