NO．285: He's the one who'll cause bugs.

【To: Aomo Lindun Trainer】

First, congratulations, Trainer Aomo, your horsegirls have successively taken two rounds of the Dream Cup and achieved good results in the Gaoyue Prize and the Jidong Derby.

Even the few slightly behind horsergirls have performed respectably; this term's trainer model indicates your likelihood is over eighty percent, and the chairman has likewise praised you, surely sending many congratulations.

But please disregard the subsidies related to the material domain; the chairman's personal opinion is unreliable, and the official bonus should have already been notified via email at present—please verify.

Then comes the second matter.

Please be aware that students of the classic year season must all participate in the summer camp.

This year's location is the simulated "Dayang Chongsheng Qundao" of Tianmen City; please prepare the camp arrangements for Ailisuzhi, Manceng Chazuo, Aimu Zhiji, and Meipu Bourbon classmates.

It is worth noting that the school has secured relatively high discounts at the Atlantis Hotel, Claridge Hotel, and Yiju branches, and will reimburse part of the expenses—roughly three million per team member.

But if it's another hotel, you'll need to contact them yourself. Moreover, if you can submit itineraries, contracts with the accompanying medical team, and reports or similar documents, the reimbursement amount will increase accordingly, to about 70% of total expenses.

You surely know that this is far from enough for the summer camp activity.

So, although I'm sorry, please find another way to raise the funds to cover the shortfall… a more reasonable approach is to seek sponsorship, take on advertisements, attend variety shows—you likely have experience in these areas, so I won't elaborate.

If…

If, after going through those, there remains a shortfall and it's inconvenient to obtain funding from the Symbolic Family, I can lend you……

……

……

——JunChuan JiangSheng】

After reading the message, Aomo crossed out the chat window, leaned heavily against the chair back, his naturally hanging arms still gripping the engineering chair's lever and pulling it, causing the chair back to naturally recline halfway.

Although the previous days weren't exactly easy, this round really gave him a headache—headache from that green‑clad secretary's feigned‑ignorant questioning, which carried a hint of implication.

An implication of 'I know you'll bring even more people.'

Although the hotels mentioned in the email are well‑known upscale establishments, each representing significant expenditure, in truth, for him—who has always had savings, whose horsergirls keep winning, and whose trainer job is officially underway—it's not too big a problem.

After all, he has a steady income several times the average wage, plus active sponsorship from the Symbolic Family with stable payouts, and additionally, the school bonuses his horsergirls earn per win, as well as his own appearance fees from variety shows and advertisements, and……

and the stacked revenue share from merchandise related to a certain Hei'an‑system villain.

Meanwhile, the agency has long been on the right track thanks to the inclusion of "Monster Eugenics Thought," having entered a formal profit stage three months ago, which is another substantial source of income.

He has, in this unnoticed way, completed an economic transformation akin to a carp leaping the dragon gate, yet his old spending habits remain, so you cannot detect any change from his everyday demeanor.

You can see that his largest expenditure is the information‑blocking service and account‑operation service he provides for himself and his horsergirls.

Besides that… it's probably just the Engel coefficient.

Before he changed his habit of going to discount markets on time, the quality of ingredients at home was hard to improve toward dragon‑grade, fairy‑grade, or similar efficiency directions.

Without those high‑energy foods, one cannot fill up in a single meal, so many meals are needed to fill the gap—but that way you can eat more tasty things, and since the household members have varying physiques and life forms, loading up on high‑energy food would leave ordinary people unable to benefit, so the family has no objections either.

Anyway, the only busy ones are Aomo and the occasional visitors Shu and Zhong Yue (x).

But Shu occasionally brings some newly cultivated high‑spirit rice from the company greenhouse; that stuff, being overly filling, tends to raise the vigilance of certain gluttons.

However, this isn't important either; it can only be said that before Aomo advances the monster industry to the point where monster cards can be stably produced and the market stabilized, he finds it hard to truly spend money on card collecting.

Currently, the focus is on pure grinding without paying, obtaining cards through mission rewards and items acquired during missions; progress is slow but steady.

——That's the kind of guy he is; bearing the summer training expenses for four horsergirls is no problem.

Although some trainers lower their stance to communicate with horsergirls, letting them or their families share part of the cost, he clearly has no intention of doing so.

But……

What if it's not just these four?

Aomo's current income streams are hardly a secret; of course he's never tried to hide them, with the result that even Ms. JiangSheng directly brings up the 'Symbolic Family support' option in the email, showing that certain well‑meaning investigators have already compiled his situation to the point that even acquaintances would encounter it.

Of course, it's also unclear whether they are investigating on their own initiative.

After all, if Aomo himself heard gossip about some acquaintance, he'd likely blurt out a simple 'cut the point' without restraint.

After listening, he'd then judge whether it's official history, wild history, or constructed history.

But regardless of whether it's proactive or passive, why would JiangSheng, knowing his approximate income, put forward such a lengthy hypothetical……

He finds it not hard to understand.

Rather, he realized it as soon as he saw that the summer training would go to the artificial island.

——It's impossible for him to bring only those four horsergirls to Tianmen City.

After all, even the little imps of the dojo know that summer training has always been called a summer vacation.

Besides, that's also the time when Miss Xinjou is on summer break; just Bai Ren and the others who haven't given up preparation—Luna, Qianming, Sirius—wouldn't let the trainer alone go to the universe for remote training.

So just how many people will need to go?

Aomo covered his face with both hands, rubbed it, then opened the chat app list, swiped, immediately returned, and opened the banking app to flip through.

Should be, perhaps, roughly……

He needs to erase the leading digit.

Then erase one‑third of the remaining numbers, thereby sending away the vast majority of his savings.

How about it? Discuss it with those girls; even without demanding an AA split, he should strike out the expenses he shouldn't bear.

Bade Devil hasn't learned the Dongyan specialty of male chauvinism, yet he has another layer of fan filter that hinders him from asking money from idols.

But if he truly followed the email's advice, he'd take advantage of that less‑than‑half‑month window to secure more sponsorship, and if still insufficient, go borrow from Ms. JiangSheng……

First, there isn't enough time to monetize labor; second, he isn't actually destitute.

Even if he wipes out the leading digit and reduces the remaining number by one‑third, the leftover savings are more than enough for living expenses and even to buy some costly monster materials.

For him, whose money mindset hasn't truly shifted, that savings figure remains a very safe position, but the sudden feeling of spending a much larger sum feels oddly empty—like just winning a huge lottery then contracting a serious illness and blowing through half of it.

Compared to the pain of being cut, it's more an inexplicable wistfulness and sense of unreality.

Do I really have that much money?

Were the previous numbers recorded incorrectly?

But this one now is also quite a lot; feels like it can be used for a long time... No, did I lose such a big sum?

... Let's recalculate.

Um...

The solidified memory brought by the crystal yuan also indirectly enhanced his mental arithmetic ability, but Aomo still performed mental calculations while drawing out a calculator to verify step by step, and in the end he pondered for a long time.

He drew open the number symbolizing speed.

It's not okay to look for an idol, but looking for an idol's family is fine!
