What?! My anime figures have all come true!

After all the equipment in the computer room was installed, Ding Jiafang realized that Chen Xiao had actually installed five computers. Not counting the old computer in his bedroom, this small room was enough for a group of people to play five-player online games!

"Xiao, are you planning to do this after you graduate?"

Ding Jiafang wiped her sweat and, seeing Chen Xiao's computer shop friend fiddling with the system, asked him curiously.

However, considering the increasingly developed internet and the public recognition of superpowers, both creating self-media and establishing a studio are quite lucrative opportunities.

You can't really open a villa with private rooms and rent them out to people for offline five-player games, can you?

Besides, my sister-in-law lives at home, so renting it out as a gaming room wouldn't be a good idea.

"Forehead……"

Chen Xiao thought about it and realized that having Yamada Elf and Shiina Mashiro write novels/draw illustrations was, in a sense, a kind of studio.

However, compared to some ghostwriting studios, their own novels and illustrations are absolutely wildly popular.

"I'd say it's a studio."

"Sure! If you make a lot of money in the future, treat everyone in the class to a meal sometime!"

Ding Jiafang put his arm around Chen Xiao's shoulder and laughed heartily.

He never considered the possibility of failure. From the moment he met Chen Xiao, success has always been a part of this classmate's life.

With Chen Xiao's connections, it would be incredibly easy for him to assemble a studio team in a short period of time.

"Um."

Chen Xiao could understand Ding Jiafang's unspoken meaning: the invitation was secondary; the most important thing was to get together.

"Xiao, the system is all set up for you, and the network cable is connected. You can download whatever you want later."

At this moment, the friend from the computer store finished installing the operating systems on these computers and gave the two of them a thumbs up.

"Okay! I'll transfer the money right away."

Chen Xiao took out his phone and transferred money to him.

"Hey! No need for the installation fee. We're friends, you're being too polite."

After receiving the transfer, the friend at the computer store transferred some money back to Chen Xiao.

That solves the equipment problem.

After finishing the business, Chen Xiao saw the two to the door and let his friend from the computer store ride back in Ding Jiafang's car.

"Jiafang, please take him home."

"No problem, see you next time!"

Ding Jiafang gave an OK sign.

But just as he was about to roll up the car window, he suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "Remember! The Shanghai Comic Con is in three days. I'll send you the address later. Make sure your friend comes!"

Ding Jiafang looked like she was grasping at a straw.

It's as if he'll say at any moment: "If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become your godfather!"

"Okay! Okay! I'll take her, don't worry."

Chen Xiao replied irritably.

"Definitely! You absolutely have to come!"

And so it went, until the car drove out of the residential area, Ding Jiafang was still yelling in the driver's seat.

"Seriously... it's like canceling an event would completely ruin your reputation."

Chen Xiao shook his head and complained.

But then I thought about it again. I've never been involved in the anime and manga community in this life, and this is a comic convention in Shanghai, so the organizer is probably the biggest and most famous in the community.

For Ding Jiafang, this may indeed be a major crisis that could lead to his permanent retirement from the entertainment industry. Even if he doesn't retire in the end, his reputation will be ruined.

Although he will soon be attending Shenzhou New Star Academy, if he causes trouble before leaving, it might become a mental burden for Ding Jiafang.

"I'll help, but who should do it?"

If someone of Yuzuriha Inori's caliber were to go, the sensational effect would definitely be no less than that of Black Rock Shooter.

After all, it's just singing a song.

Let's start with girl bands... oh no, I mean, let's begin with them.

"Xiao, your classmate left? I just heard him mention something about a comic convention. Does he need our help?"

Shiina Mahiru quietly peeked out from behind the villa gate.

"Yeah, it's just going up on stage and singing a song."

However, there are only a few options available.

Hmm? You're asking why there are only a few idols in anime schools, when there are so many who can sing?

Ahem! Although he had watched the anime "School Idol Project" (Lalaman) for a while in his previous life, and knew about the training game "School Idolmaster", Chen Xiao did not make any of their figures.

LOL, just playing Kantai Collection and FGO takes up a lot of time.

Not to mention other anime and Gensokyo characters, there's simply no time to work on the Idolmaster series!

Therefore, the only girl bands currently on display are Icy Tail from "Saekano", Girls Dead Monster from "Angel Beats!", End from "Lonely Rock", Thornless from "The Crying Girl's Cry", and the veteran light music club.

As for why there's no "bitterness"...

Besides the lack of time, there's also the fact that Chen Xiao was fed a huge dose of the god-like plot where he was stuck by a hen in his past life, and he couldn't stand the gravitational field that was comparable to a black hole. As a result, while watching the series, he transformed into Zhang Beihai and led the Natural Selection ship forward four times...

"So... I choose you! Kita-chan!"

After standing in front of the display case for a moment, Chen Xiao finally placed his finger on the red-haired girl in the band.

Kita Ikuyo: Huh?

Why wasn't it me?!

The girl in the display case couldn't sit still any longer.

He then materialized and jumped out of the display case, waving his hands and unleashing the "Fierce Chariot Fist" to strike Chen Xiao's chest.

Of all the bands featuring figurines, the one with the strongest desire to perform must be Iori Nina.

When Rencai saw Chen Xiao's finger pointing at her, she was ready to materialize and rush over to thank him, but he ended up doing this to her!

"Alright, alright, Renna, Xiao must have his reasons for doing this."

The materialized Lupa held Jing Qinrencai under her armpits and pulled her away from Chen Xiao.

The other members of the Thorn Gang also materialized.

Momoka seemed indifferent, An and Ang were curious about what anime conventions were like in this world, while Ebisuka Tomo looked at Nina with some speechlessness.

"Ahem, Nina, this is a song performed by one person. Even without MMK (Momoka) and the others to sing along, are you still going to go and sing?"

Chen Xiao raised his hand and coughed lightly, explaining.

"Oh, this..."

Jing Qinrencai was taken aback upon hearing this.

If it weren't for everyone being together, I wouldn't be in the mood to sing.

"But... I don't have the cooperation of Ijichi-senpai and the others, will this work?"

Kita Ikuyo, who had been pointed out by Chen Xiao, materialized, her face filled with worry.

While the situation won't escalate to the point of running away like in the original story, it's still a bit much to ask her, the least skilled performer, to perform on stage...

"It doesn't matter if Kita sings well or not, as long as he acts cute."

Chen Xiao smiled and gently patted Kita Ikuyo's head.

After all, it was just replacing Ding Jiafang to sing, there was no need to make it so serious.

However, upon hearing this, Jing Qinrencai's previously calmed mood turned sour again.

"What, am I not cute?"

Oh dear, the little girl is breathing out air.

Chen Xiao didn't offer any explanation, but simply asked her and Kita Ikuyo to make an "eh" expression together.

"Hehe~!"

Kita Ikuyo is like she's unleashing an adorable barrage of cuteness.

"Eh...hehe..."

The celery stalks were a bit stiff.

"The difference in quality is obvious, Nina."

Momoka commented with her arms crossed, and the others nodded in agreement.

"You...you bunch of bastards!!!"

Celery seed greens, absolutely insane!
