Zongman: My Smart Group

Lin Mo was completely bewildered. What was this all about?

However, he honestly replied, "No."

Yukinoshita patted his head and said with a smile, "Why don't you move in with Yukino? That way you can look after each other."

Lin Mo: "Wait, did the topic change so quickly? Aren't you going to keep scolding me?"

Chapter 50 Dinner Party

Yukinoshita gently rubbed his face and said with a smile, "Silly boy, how could I possibly scold you!"

After all, I bear a large part of the responsibility for how you ended up like this, not to mention you saved my life. I really consider you family!

"I am not a fool!"

Lin Mo immediately retorted, even forgetting that he had been patted on the head and pinched on the cheek.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Alright, alright, my little brother Lin Mo is the smartest! So what do you think of my idea just now?"

Lin Mo declined, saying, "It's not good. I'm used to being free and lazy, and I don't like living under someone else's roof, so forget it."

Yukinoshita: "How about you move next door to Yukino?"

Lin Mo looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Why do you want me to move so badly?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Because I want to save time and spend more with you two. You and Yukino live so far apart, and sometimes I can only see one of you in my free time. It's really hard to choose. So, only children make choices, I want them both!"

Lin Mo: "Then why don't you let Yukinoshita move over?"

Yukino Yukinoshita then said, "Yukinoshita? Hasn't Lin Mo reached the point where he can call Yukino by her name yet?"

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's not that there's no problem. She probably doesn't mind if I call her by her name; it's just a habit."

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and said, "Then just call me Yukino. After all, I also have the surname Yukinoshita. If you call me that, it will be easy for us to get confused about who you are talking about."

Lin Mo thought about it and agreed, so he nodded and said, "OK! Sister Yang Nai, where are we going next?"

Yukinoshita looked at him helplessly and said, "Of course I'll take you home! Because of someone, I dropped what I was doing and rushed over immediately. How could I let him go home alone?"

Lin Mo nodded and said, "That's outrageous! I never expected there to be someone like that! Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him pay!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hahaha... You're dreaming! By the way, have you had dinner yet? Want to have dinner together before you go back?"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he said, "No! Sister Yang Nai, I just went to the bank to withdraw some money, so let me treat you this time! After all, you're always the ones treating me to meals, it's kind of embarrassing, so it's only fair!"

Yukino Yukinoshita teased, "Hahaha... I didn't expect you to feel embarrassed, little brother Lin Mo. Alright, you can treat me to dinner today! Who else do you want to invite?"

Lin Mo held up one finger and said, "You, me, Yukino, Hiratsuka-sensei, um... that's it, just the four of us!"

Yukinoshita nodded and said, "Perfect timing! Shizuka and I haven't seen each other for a while, so let's get together now! You call them, and I'll drive to pick up Yukino."

Lin Mo nodded and began contacting people.

Upon hearing that her older sister was also there, Yukino Yukinoshita sealed the prepared food in the refrigerator and said she would wait for them at the entrance of the apartment complex. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was too lazy to eat dinner, immediately agreed and drove over to the agreed-upon location.

After preparing everything, Lin Mo turned his head and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Just then, the system cautiously asked, "Host, do you hate me?"

"???"

Lin Mo asked in confusion, "System, what's wrong with you now? Are you on drugs?"

System: "How could a system like me possibly do drugs!"

Lin Mo replied matter-of-factly, "Electronic virus."

The system was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Really, host, it's entirely my fault that you've become like this. Don't you hate me?"

Lin Mo: "You're talking nonsense! My good looks are natural, okay!"

System: "That's not what I meant! I meant that your becoming an idiot is inextricably linked to me. If I hadn't taken over your brain, you wouldn't be acting like a fool, doing things without thinking and making so many abstract decisions."

Lin Mo said angrily, "Who are you calling an idiot! You're the idiot! Your whole family are idiots! How many times do I have to tell you before you remember? I, Lin Mo, am incredibly clever!"

The system retorted, "Is that the point? I was clearly explaining this to you very seriously!"

Lin Mo: "System, I understand what you mean. You probably think you're useless and a burden to me, right?"

System: "That's one way to understand it."

Lin Mo: "Then I can only say you're overthinking it. Although you're useless and good-for-nothing, I won't dislike you, and I certainly won't hate you!"

System: "But it's all because of me that your IQ has dropped. Not to mention, I'm also restricted by my own things and can't help you at all. I can only stay in your body like a parasite. Don't you really hate me at all?"

Lin Mo: "Sigh~ Why do you also like to get stuck on things like Yukino?"

The system said seriously, "I'm not being stubborn! I just... I just feel useless. I have so many powerful abilities, but I always mess everything up because of carelessness. It was like this when I was extracting Pangu's blood, and it was like this when I wanted to recover with the help of the host."

I had everything planned out, but who knew Pangu would suddenly wake up, and the host would sign out of the magic-suppressing zone again. I didn't want this to happen, I didn't want to mess everything up, but in the end, I still messed it up. If I hadn't used up your brain's computing power, you wouldn't have become such a fool.

Lin Mo's forehead immediately lit up with many tic-tac-toe characters, and he kept calling her an idiot, a big idiot. Who was he calling an idiot?

However, Lin Mo also noticed that something was wrong with the system, so he could only comfort it, "System, you're just being stubborn. Life is full of unexpected events, and no one can guarantee that everything will go according to plan. Besides, the fact that you brought me here from my original world is enough to make up for everything you've done to me."

System: "What do you mean?"

Lin Mo laughed and said, "Because I can be myself without restraint here, I don't have to suppress my nature at all! Not to mention that because you occupy half of my brain, I've lost all sense of shame! You've made me live the life I wanted to be!"

System: "R-really?"

Lin Mo: "Of course it's true. In my original world, everyone lived behind a mask, and very few people could live out their true selves. Take my eldest sister, for example. Although she seems strict, responsible, and strong, I know that she is actually very insecure and cries a lot. Just because she is the eldest, she always puts herself in the role of an elder and tries her best to act like a responsible adult. In fact, I have seen her hiding under the covers and crying more than once, but she always pretends that nothing is wrong."

I hated her like that. Why did she have to wear a mask? Why couldn't she just live as her true self? Then I was forcefully suppressed by my older sister and forced to wear a mask too, suppressing my true nature.

Until I met you, System!

System: "Host..."

Lin Mo chuckled, "System, I'm actually quite grateful to you. You brought me to this world where nobody knows me and even used up my intelligence. Now I can do whatever I want without any shame, and I can even shift all the blame onto you. So, you see..."

The system said tearfully, "Host...you bastard..."

Lin Mo said sincerely, "Thank you, Taro!"

The system, wiping away tears and laughing, said, "You're welcome, God... God Taro! Don't make jokes in such a touching scene!"

Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "So what? You've recovered anyway."

The system clenched its fist, then relaxed it, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Black Dog."

Lin Mo asked in confusion, "What's this all about? I've never heard of it before?"

The system chuckled and said, "Never mind that. Host, you have one more sign-in. Do you want to use it?"

Lin Mo: "Sign in!"

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Colored).

......"

Chapter 51 I'm going to get a bunch of certificates!

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Colored): Seals the world of mountains and seas, containing countless rare and exotic beasts that can be summoned to aid in battle. (Note: Use with caution!!!)"

"!!!"

Lin Mo's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! System, you even managed to get your hands on this!"

System: "Wow! Host, you actually managed to get this thing!"

Lin Mo immediately said smugly, "Of course! Who do you think I am! Quickly put in a Kun that can't fit in a whole pot! I have to taste it today to see if it's salty enough!"

System: "Hey~ It's a magic-forbidden zone~"

Lin Mo gave it the middle finger: "Useless system, leave the group!"

System: "Stop messing around, you won't be happy if we really cancel."

Lin Mo stared intently at the cover and introduction of the Classic of Mountains and Seas for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. So he asked, "System, do you think this little book really seals away the entire world of mountains and seas?"

The system said smugly, "Host, please don't doubt my abilities. I'm very powerful, okay!"

Lin Mo: "Then you still got smashed to pieces by an axe."

System: "How can they be the same?! There's no comparison between the two at all! Besides..."

A joyful atmosphere filled the air for a moment.

Lin Mo also closed the panel, because he had arrived at the entrance of Yukino Yukinoshita's residential area and had already seen her.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded, which was considered a greeting, and then Yukino Yukinoshita got into the car.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yukino! Long time no see! Did you miss your big sister?"

Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly, "No, we just met two days ago."

Yukino Yukinoshita made a crying face and said, "I'm so sad. These days without Yukino have felt like an eternity. Waaaaah—"

Yukino Yukinoshita said with a headache, "Sister! Aren't we having a dinner party later? Don't linger here for too long."

Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile, "It's okay to let Shizuka wait a little longer!"

As Yukino Yukino started the car, she said, "By the way, Yukino, are you interested in staying somewhere else?"

Yukino Yukinoshita refused, saying, "I'm not interested."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "How heartless! Yukino, are you really not going to reconsider? You know, this is with Lin Mo! Aren't you two very close? You can look after each other."

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately looked at Lin Mo in the passenger seat, and couldn't help but imagine the scene of Lin Mo squatting in front of her like a kitten, letting her pet him. Her face immediately turned red.

Yukino Yukinoshita said angrily, "Sister! Don't make jokes like that that can lead to misunderstandings!"

Lin Mo said somewhat speechlessly, "Sister Yang Nai, it seems you haven't asked for my opinion yet."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Didn't you say you'd let Yukino move in with you? I was just trying to help you!"

Lin Mo: "When did I ever say such a thing? Don't slander me!"

Yukinoshita: "Are you sure you didn't say that?"

Just as Lin Mo was about to express his certainty, the system suddenly spoke up: "Host, you did say that. When Yukinoshita Haruno asked you to move over, you said, 'Why don't you ask Yukinoshita to move over here?'"

Lin Mo looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with a shocked expression: "No, can't you tell I was being sarcastic?"

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "No, I just heard Lin Mo's determination to live with Yukino! It's so touching!"

Lin Mo: "Touched my ass! I wouldn't dare move an inch!"

Amidst their laughter and chatter, they finally arrived at a barbecue restaurant. It had no other advantages but offered large portions that were filling!

Because of Yukino's reminder, Lin Mo had made a reservation by phone in advance, and then he and Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been waiting for a long time, came to their seats.

As time went on, everyone started talking more.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Ah! It's been so long since I've eaten so heartily. At previous social gatherings, I ate very little in order to appear like a lady. It was such a hassle."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hahaha... Shizuka, no matter how little you eat, if you don't change your personality, no one will think you're a lady."

Hiratsuka Shizuka glared at her fiercely and said menacingly, "Mind your own business! That's just how I am!"

Lin Mo: "Sigh—you can't say that, Hiratsuka-sensei is still quite charming!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately turned her head and stared intently at Lin Mo, asking expectantly, "Really?"

Lin Mo: "Of course it's true!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed and asked, "What makes me attractive?"

Lin Mo gave a thumbs-up and said, "Quite manly!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Go to hell!"

Yukinoshita: "Hahaha... Shizuka is indeed quite manly, her lifestyle is like an old man's. If you really can't find a partner, why don't we get together! Hahaha..."

Even the seemingly serious Yukino Yukinoshita was amused by this conversation.

After a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka calmed down after eating everyone's barbecue.
