Chapter 719: Fished into a Cockroach
"Chris, that's 20 million Eris in total! How about it? Are you tempted?"
Aqua said this with great interest.
Xiao Lin sighed, held his forehead helplessly and scolded: "You, you get so excited when it comes to money that you don't even look at other things."
"Ah, I know why you came to see me." Chris suddenly realized: "Xiao Lin, you want me to attend that conference, right?"
"That's right! For my twenty million Eris!"
"Aqua, could you please shut up first?"
Xiaolin rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Ever since she found out that the first prize was 20 million Eris, the stupid goddess kept saying this. Although what she said was the truth, it would easily make people jealous. Things like this should always be said in private.
Aqua pouted a little unhappily.
Xiao Lin had no time to comfort her.
"I see. I understand." Chris clapped his hands and said with a smile, "So, in order to get the 20 million Eris, you want to have more people to increase the chances of winning. Am I right about your idea?"
She probably thought that the facts were just as she thought.
Xiaolin shook his head.
"I'm sorry. If it was still a one-on-one battle like before, this method might work. But -"
"I heard that starting from this year, the competition has become a team competition with seven people in each team."
Darkness continued what Kobayashi was about to say.
Chris nodded.
"I see. If the team doesn't have enough members, they can't participate in the competition."
She obviously understood the purpose of Kobayashi and others coming to see her, otherwise, if Kobayashi were alone, to be frank, the championship would have been booked first.
Xiaolin clasped his hands together and begged loudly.
"Please, Chris! Give us a hand!"
Then I felt a little nervous.
If Chris said that she didn't have time and couldn't participate in the sports meeting held by the guild; or if she had other teammates and wanted to team up with others... then it would be all over!
Xiaolin looked at her expectantly.
After Chris thought silently, Aqua also got anxious and shouted, "Twenty million Eris! Twenty million Eris! Chris, there's no reason for you to reject us, right?! Think about it carefully, we have Xiaolin in this team, the probability of winning is infinite, isn't it? Chris, you are not stupid enough to reject the opportunity to make money without doing anything, right?"
"Uh, uh..."
She was quite shaken.
After all, what Aqua said was right.
Xiaolin is the favorite to win the championship. Even in a team competition, with a strong player like Xiaolin who can make up for the mistakes of others, he can make up for the mistakes of others. Although you can't really get the money without doing anything, you may be able to get a lot of bonuses if you work hard.
Darkness also tried to persuade him.
"I'm begging you too. If Chris can come to help, that would be a great help."
"Well..."
Seeing that his good friend also came to persuade him, Chris hesitated for quite a long time, sighed deeply as if he had given up, and asked again.
"Just to be sure, I can choose my own swimsuit, right?"
"Oh, of course!"
Xiaolin agreed immediately.
At this time, don't worry about any messy conditions, just agree to it.
No matter what the requirements are, you can make adjustments slowly later.
Trick the person here first!
But Huihui seemed to be deliberately trying to sabotage them. She said sarcastically, “But someone will look at us in an obscene way in the name of special training.”
"I, I, I, I...I'm not looking at it!"
Xiaolin turned his head away.
At this time, you must refuse to admit it, otherwise there will be big problems.
Chris chuckled.
"Forget it. Since you guys are trying to find a way to deal with this ring, I can help you."
"Ohh, thank you, Chris!"
"That's a great help, Chris."
Krillin and Darkness thanked her.
Subsequently.
"Then let's get on with it without further ado." Xiao Lin said, "We plan to start special swimming training this afternoon. Can Chris also come and join us?"
"Hey, are you in such a hurry?"
"Time waits for no one! Meet near the town entrance after noon!"
"Alright alright."
Chris left with a helpless look on her face after being urged. She should have gone to prepare her swimsuit for the afternoon training.
Good, now I found a new companion.
“Next, let’s go find Youyou.” Huihui said, “I don’t know where she went this early in the morning, but if we look for her casually, she should show up.”
"Is she still in Wiz's shop?"
"Who knows."
In response to Aqua's question, Huihui shook her head and thought for a moment before saying, "She recently said that she often goes to the river to be alone. Let's go there first and take a look."
"Autism or something..."
Xiaolin twitched the corner of his mouth.
The team has been getting along well recently, so why is Youyou still withdrawn? When she couldn't help wondering if Huihui had bullied her, the little girl resolutely denied what she had done and said that women always have a few days a month when they become unhappy, which earned Xiaolin's understanding.
So everyone rushed to the river.
"Well... Youyou is..."
"Well!"
When Kobayashi was looking around for his teammates, Huihui found them first, but her expression was not very good.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
“What’s wrong, Huihui?”
"That guy... ah, come on! Why didn't he come over and say hello right away!"
Huihui waved to someone.
After receiving the instructions, Youyou ran and jumped to meet everyone like a puppy called by its owner.
"You, if you see us again, you should come over earlier!"
"B-But, if my sudden appearance causes a sudden awkward silence or something, I'll be very sad."
"Aren't we companions? Ah——you, you are as annoying as ever! Autistic!"
Huihui couldn't help but curse.
The team members have been together for such a long time, but Youyou is still too reserved. Although it is because Xiaolin doesn't care much about her on weekdays, it is more because Youyou always resists getting along with him.
"Autism is such an exaggeration! I have friends too!"
Youyou yelled angrily.
“Oh, I’m really interested.” Huihui seemed to be deliberately bullying Youyou and said in a condescending tone: “Who is your friend from? Please introduce him to me.”
“Wow, wow, that’s…”
Youyou was somewhat speechless.
“Speak, speak, speak quickly.” Huihui continued to bully her, saying in a strange tone, “You’ve made a friend, right? That’s something worth showing off. Come on, speak quickly, introduce them to me.”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"
Her face turned red from holding it in, but she didn't say anything in the end. The idea of her being a friend was naturally non-existent.
Even though Xiaolin thought that Youyou would identify air friends or ant friends or something, it now seems that he was just overthinking.
Youyou looked over with a pleading look.
Xiaolin felt a little soft-hearted and stopped Huihui from bullying her good friend. He taught her a lesson: "Huihui, don't be so stubborn and ask questions. She will really cry."
"Of course I know."
Her purpose seemed to be to make Youyou cry.
This guy is so bad.
Forget it, let’s get to the point. If we continue like this, Youyou might get bullied and run away, and I’ll miss the opportunity to talk to her about serious matters.
Xiao Lin took the initiative to speak: "Um, Youyou? I want to talk to you about something, is that okay?"
"Tell me something! What is it?!"
Youyou looked expectant.
Yes, although it is troublesome, for Youyou, as long as she is approached for something, she will have a certain sense of identity. Plus, they are members of the team, so it should be no problem! ...right?
"Why are you so happy..."
Huihui pouted in annoyance.
Xiao Lin organized his words and said, "Actually, it seems we are going to trouble you again..."
"Eh?"
Youyou's expression slowly froze.
Huihui also sighed and said, “See, his expression darkened all of a sudden.”
“No, no!”
Youyou tried desperately to explain.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Lin just saw that Youyou's expression did become somewhat resistant when he said that she was in trouble.
That's right, she was most affected at the maid cafe, so it's natural for her to resist.
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
"Yes, yes. Forget it, Xiaolin, just continue talking."
Huihui was too lazy to argue with Youyou about whether or not they were disappointed, so she signaled Xiaolin to quickly tell her why they were there.
"I've thought of another way to make money." Xiao Lin said bluntly, "But this method requires your help, Youyou."
"Uh... well, what do you want me to do this time?"
The girl's cheeks flushed slightly.
He looked vaguely worried.
It wasn’t that Darkness was looking forward to it, but she was really worried that she would do something shameful again. But before she could feel uneasy, Megumin spoke directly.
"—I want you to wear a swimsuit!"
“Ehhhh————Swimsuit?!!!”
The girl's blushing cheeks.
Her hands moved back and forth as if she had nowhere to put them, as if she had thought of something, and there was a feeling of heat on her head.
"What's wrong, don't you want to?"
"But, how shameful..."
"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. Don't call me Youyou anymore, Xiaolin."
Huihui sighed in a pretentious manner.
Youyou was stunned for a moment.
"So simple?"
"Isn't there nothing we can do?"
She spread her hands and said, "After all, she herself is not interested, so it's not good to force her. But I didn't expect Youyou to be such a person. We are obviously teammates in the same team, but she is so hesitant when asked to wear a swimsuit. It's really disappointing."
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, among the companions in a team, there are also some who are unwilling to do such things, right?
At first, Aqua, Darkness, and even Megumin were unwilling to do so. In addition, as far as Kobayashi knew, Dust's companion Lynn was also unwilling to wear a swimsuit... Girls seemed to have a natural sense of shame and did not want to wear swimsuits in public.
"Let's go, Xiaolin."
"Wait a minute! You haven't even explained to me what's going on!"
"Oh, how sad. I thought that as a friend, Youyou would agree to our request without even thinking about it. It seems that I overestimated our friendship. Really? Is this what you call being sentimental?"
"Friends?!"
After hearing what Huihui said, Youyou was immediately hooked into a black carp.
The little girl showed a sinister smile, then hid it at a rapid speed, and spoke slowly with a sad expression on her face.
"As for me, if I knew that Youyou was in trouble, I would be willing to go through it for you, no matter if it was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire."
“It’s the same for me, Megumin!”
Youyou was immediately moved and said this.
Now, if Huihui really wanted her to go through fire and water, then Youyou would agree without hesitation.
This innocent girl is too easy to fool.
Seeing that the time was right, Hui Hui smiled and said, "So, Youyou, you accept our request now, right?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, the negotiation was successful."
Seeing Yunyun’s heroic expression, showing that she was willing to die for her companions, Huihui smiled sinisterly, as if her evil plan had succeeded.
Although Youyou is indeed easy to deceive, Huihui's methods are also terrifying enough that she was able to deceive the simple Youyou.
It’s not good. I suddenly feel guilty.
But Xiaolin had no choice.
Now those guys in the town have probably excluded him, and they must be thinking of taking this opportunity to deny him good teammates. If they can even exclude Xiao Lin from the game directly, that would be a win-win situation for everyone.
So no matter what, Xiaolin could only let Youyou join in and help them like Chris did.
"So...um, what should I do?"
Youyou said this timidly.
She agreed to help on impulse, but the fact was just as Youyou said, she didn't know what she was going to do.
Can you agree to help when you don’t know anything?
Xiao Lin sighed slightly and asked, "Let me ask you first, do you know about the annual sports meeting in this town?"
"No, that's the first time I've heard of it."
Youyou shook his head.
That’s right. After all, she left the village with Huihui. Huihui didn’t know about this, so how could Youyou, an introverted child, know about it?
"The prize money for this conference is quite high."
"Twenty million eris!"
Megumin and Aqua started again.
They really are very sensitive about money, but are totally unable to help with anything else.
Honestly, it's a bit annoying.
Xiaolin still smiled and said, "Well, thank you for the special explanation, Aqua."
“So, in order to win the 20 million Eris prize, we want to borrow your help, Youyou,” Huihui said.
“How exactly should I do this?”
"Why, after seeing that things are not going well, Youyou, do you still want to refuse?"
Huihui said this with a sense of pressure.
"No." Youyou countered angrily, "I may need to make some preparations!"
It seems that she is not the kind of person who would run away from the battlefield.
