"How about this, I'll assign someone to train with you, it'll be faster that way. Out of us, who do you choose?"
I have to say, Xu Lin really thought highly of me, almost prioritizing my needs above the family's.
Looking at the few young women around, I weighed my options:
Xu Lin wouldn't work. She's the boss; it would be awkward to order her around. If she got angry, I'd be in big trouble.
Xin Yu wouldn't work either. Her skills might be fine, but her psychological issues are too significant. If she got wild in the game and stripped all her clothes off, I'd be embarrassed too. Plus, I don't want to get too close to her; after all, when she gets frisky, not just anyone can handle it.
Li Qing is even worse. She's psychologically unsound and often incites customers to not use protection. Having such an unscrupulous woman by my side is too dangerous!
…After looking them over, only Lu Xuehan was still a viable option; at least she was more to my liking.
Xu Lin pursed her lips and smiled, "You want to choose Xue Han, right? That's good; she's a Priest, which will save on potions!"
I nodded, and the pairing with Lu Xuehan was thus decided.
Dinner was quite rich. At Xu Lin's instruction, Xin Yu actually cooked a meal that made everyone's mouths water just by smelling it. This surprised me greatly; I never would have thought that besides being good at cheating, Xin Yu also had such a knack for cooking. If I didn't have a virginity complex, marrying her would be quite practical.
Xu Lin, with a smiling face, poured a glass of red wine for everyone, then raised her glass and said, "To our family's grand ambitions in moons constant, let's drink a toast first!"
"Cheers!"
Xin Yu smiled and said, "What should our family's name be? We should decide it first, right?"
Xu Lin paused, then smiled and said, "I almost forgot. Does anyone have any good ideas? A two-character family name?"
"Rose? Rose Legion, how's that?"
"Stop being so infatuated. I think 'Ying Yue' would be better!"
"Come on, wouldn't 'New Moon' be even better?"
…After discussing for a long time with no result, Xu Lin could only look at me and say, "Lin Fan, what do you say?"
I thought for a moment and said, "The name just needs to be easy to remember; being flashy isn't important. We're just out to make money, not to conquer the world."
Seeing Xu Lin nod, I continued, "Generally speaking, a name should either be very elegant or very common. Too elegant can easily make people dislike it, and too common can make people feel sick. So, a half-common, half-elegant name is more suitable for a small group like ours, which is focused on making money."
Xu Lin nodded again and said, "What kind of name do you think is half-common and half-elegant? Two characters."
"Hmm…" I thought for a moment, then looked up at Xu Lin and said, "Qing Cai, how about it?"
Xu Lin was immediately stunned, but not long after, she said firmly, "Good, our family will be called Qing Cai Family!"
Xin Yu's objections were useless now, because the boss had agreed.
I secretly smiled, a ridiculous scene already forming in my mind: I, dressed in silver warrior armor, holding an all-attribute divine sword, leading a group of young women into the world of moons constant, singing, "We are pests, we are pests!" and trampling countless newbies underfoot, laughing wildly!
Everyone ate very quickly, so much so that some had finished before the soup was ready. Lu Xuehan saw me put down my chopsticks and immediately ran over, tugging on my sleeve, and whispered, "Lin Fan, please help me install the game equipment in the second room on the right. I want to try it out first."
I looked at the room that had just been assigned to me and said in surprise, "But, that's my room?"
"Didn't Sister Xu just say that she was putting me in the same room as you?" Lu Xuehan's big, watery eyes stared, looking puzzled.
Such a vibrant young woman sleeping in the same room as me?
It would be strange if nothing happened!
I glanced at Xu Lin, who was watching me teasingly from the side, then seriously told Lu Xuehan, "She was joking. You should ask her again which room she actually assigned you to."
Xu Lin had, of course, already heard. Seeing me pass the buck to her, she immediately glared at me, then gently said to Lu Xuehan, "Xue Han, you've seen it too; the other three rooms have already been taken by those guys. How about this, there's a study with a mezzanine next to Lin Fan's room; you can sleep there. As for where to play the game, look, the living room has so much space, and hardly anyone comes here, so why don't you make do and set up the equipment next to the sofa in the living room? Playing games while sitting on the sofa can also be a kind of enjoyment."
Lu Xuehan had always been indecisive, and Xu Lin's words were also reasonable, so she agreed without much thought.
The rest was simple. I used Lu Xuehan's set of equipment to demonstrate how to assemble it in the living room. The computer's main chassis was already assembled, and the connecting cables between the virtual helmet and the host were already marked with instructions. In essence, it was plug-and-play. What interested me most was the moons constant-specific game keyboard. Unlike traditional keyboards, moons constant's keyboard was made of LCD sensors. When the power wasn't on, it looked like nothing more than an exquisitely designed glass panel. But when I plugged in the power, it immediately transformed into an operating panel glowing with a brilliant blue light. Touching it with my fingers felt even stranger. I hadn't touched a woman's chest, but I dared to swear on my grandmother's name that this must feel even better than a chest!
Clapping my hands to signal completion, I turned to the other young women and said, "Alright, everyone, go experience it first. The host comes with a set of small training games; make sure to play them first so you don't get flustered when the game starts!"
My words were quite effective. The young women immediately grabbed their equipment excitedly and rushed into their rooms. Xu Lin smiled and said, "Everyone's account is already engraved on their helmet. The first time you put on the helmet, it will ask if you want iris lock, so you never have to worry about account theft."
"Okay, I'm going to lock the door. Call me when you go out to buy things tomorrow."
