Chapter 28

"What do you plan to do today?" Qingshan Li pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Three things, of course not all to be completed today." Mikami Ai closed her book, "First, find the remaining two players to compete against the Cooking Club."

"Can't my younger sister and older sister do it?"

"Can they win?"

"Can you find a student in this school whose cooking skills surpass the Cooking Club's and who is also willing to come help?" Qingshan Li countered.

After thinking seriously, Mikami Ai felt it was unlikely, and also unnecessary.

"If you can guarantee a sweeping victory in the final match, I can let your younger sister and older sister compete.

"Your younger sister is also a member of the Yaken Club, I won't give her a reward. As for your older sister, how much do you think would be appropriate?"

"She earns 1000 yen an hour at her part-time job." Qingshan Li answered.

"Ten thousand?"

What kind of book does he write, running errands for Mikami Ai would make him rich!

"Cough, that's too much, two thousand yen is enough." Qingshan Li said, "Just give it to me, don't tell my older sister and younger sister about this."

They wouldn't accept it.

Despite being poor, they can still live; as long as they can still survive relying on their own two hands, they won't accept anyone's charity.

Qingshan Li wouldn't either, but since he's using the System to guarantee a sweeping victory in the final match, he should charge a little extra fee.

"Planning to pocket this money yourself?" Mikami Ai smiled with slight sarcasm.

"That's my business." Qingshan Li had no interest in building a good image.

"I can not ask about that, but I have another question: what's your relationship with your older sister and younger sister like?"

"A."

"You use evaluations for interpersonal relationships too?" Mikami Ai showed a slightly interested expression, "What about the relationship between the two of us?"

"F."

"Is it that bad?"

"It's not bad, it's non-existent. The two of us have a relationship of nothing."

"You're too cold. Even if we're not friends, we're at least classmates." Mikami Ai said.

"Considering how generous you are with spending money, I'll speak frankly."

"Please."

"A beautiful girl as pretty and rich as you, if I don't keep my distance, it'll be dangerous."

"Fall in love with me?"

"That's one aspect." Qingshan Li said.

"Loving me to the degree of 'won't marry anyone but you' would indeed be dangerous, and a heavy burden for me too." Mikami Ai laughed, "You're quite interesting."

"Finding the cooking competition participants is done, what's the second thing?" Qingshan Li asked.

"How to take down the News Club."

"You can spend money."

"Then how would I give myself more trouble? Besides, not everyone is like you."

What's wrong with being money-grubbing?

"Then it's difficult." Qingshan Li's tone wasn't worried in the slightest, because he didn't care.

"We can trade a special scoop with them." Mikami Ai mused.

"Do you have some special scoop?"

"No, but we can manufacture one." Mikami Ai said, "Recently, Kyushu High School seems to have a genius boy nicknamed 'Sword King'. You find a chance, cover your face, and defeat him on the way home from school. The News Club will definitely kowtow begging me to give them the on-site photos."

"Good idea." Qingshan Li said admiringly.

His sarcasm could be heard even by a brainless jellyfish.

"I can give you my stockings to cover your face."

"You're too naive, men aren't only leg men." Qingshan Li made a 'men are so great' expression.

"The Cheerleading Club's changing room has frequent thefts, and the criminal is actually a certain man from the Yaken Club?" Mikami Ai changed tactics.

"The police would be more interested than the News Club people."

"There's an unidentified liquid on the Bat Twirling Club's batons, and the criminal is actually a certain man from the Yaken Club?"

"How much money do you plan to spend to buy my life?"

"Classmate Aoyama, I'm disappointed in you. You've read so many mystery novels, why can't you pull off a single perfect crime?" Mikami Ai said.

"Why do I have to commit a crime?" Qingshan Li was even more puzzled than her.

Mikami Ai fell into thought.

The club room grew quiet, and the shouts of the sports clubs and the Brass Band Club's performance could be clearly heard.

The Brass Band Club has too many sections, so during sectional practice, some sections can only practice in some corner of the school.

Some people do it on purpose too, similar to how the Cheerleading Club always practices in the courtyard so everyone can see them, supervise them.

Qingshan Li felt the Yaken Club's conversations should be put in the Broadcasting Club, so everyone can hear them, that way they can supervise Mikami Ai.

This person has serious issues!

"If the Sword King is too strong, how about defeating our school's Kendo Club first?" Mikami Ai spoke up.

"You"

"Listen to me finish first." Mikami Ai interrupted him, "I said there are three things. The last one is to give a score to a mid-tier club that still has some strength. The Kendo Club happens to be suitable — your act of defeating the Kendo Club can be called killing two birds with one stone."

"Just what do you think I can use to defeat the Kendo Club?"

"I have confidence in you."

"Are you Athena? As long as you have confidence in me, I can burn my Cosmo and, with mere Bronze Saint strength, defeat even a Gold Saint for you to see?"

"You said so much in one breath, are you thirsty?" Mikami Ai took out a thermos.

"I'm discussing something very serious with you!"

Splash, Mikami Ai poured herself a cup of tea.

She blew on it lightly, savoring the taste of the tea.

"If the Kendo Club is too early for you, how about the Baseball Club?"

"That boy your classmates mentioned who 'took two weeks off right after the semester started, has unspeakable circumstances' — what exactly would he have to do to defeat the entire Baseball Club by himself?"

"Shave his head bald first?"

". I understand, Mikami Ai-san, I will arrive at the club five minutes early from now on." Qingshan Li admitted defeat.

"After shaving his head bald, he buys a baseball bat."

". Club President Mikami Ai-sama, I will arrive at the club five minutes early from now on."

Mikami Ai smiled: "Although it's a bit late, it's not too late, just be earlier next time."

Was she talking about the speed of his surrender, or the time he arrives at the club?

——System, you're making it really hard for me to stay mad at Mikami Ai.

【Whether to terminate 'Campus Mystery, Main Ability is Beauty' material collection】

【Whether to terminate 'Campus Romance Daily Life' material collection】

Some words, Qingshan Li doesn't need to say out loud, the System can understand.

But sometimes, Qingshan Li clearly doesn't have that thought, yet the System actively prompts him that he can have that thought.

——. No

"Idle chat ends here, next let's seriously think about how to control the News Club, and defeat a somewhat famous major club." Mikami Ai said.

Qingshan Li didn't speak.

He took Mikami Ai's thermos, poured himself a cup, and drank it down gulp by gulp.

Venting anger while quenching thirst at the same time.

"The tea contains isoflavones that reduce breast cancer risk, which will suppress male testosterone levels."

"Cough, cough cough!" Qingshan Li looked around for tissues.

"Like this, fabricate a half-true half-false news story, have the News Club report it, then threaten them, how about that?" Mikami Ai handed over tissues.

"They, cough, if they sincerely apologize to everyone?"

"Then fabricate another one, until the News Club has zero credibility or surrenders."

"Are you sure the plan will go smoothly?" Qingshan Li asked.

Mikami Ai held her teacup: "You should be very clear on this point, right? Dealing with the News Club won't be harder than dealing with you."

She sipped the tea like she was tasting victory.

Qingshan Li gave up resistance, and instead said: "Planning to do it specifically how?"

"Saturday, Athens Philosophy Research Club versus Cooking Club showdown, invite the News Club, after they release the news, I'll threaten the Cooking Club, issue a joint statement saying the News Club fabricated it."

". Are you that kind of bad person?"

"Did it affect my image in your heart?" Mikami Ai smiled elegantly and charmingly.

She put down the teacup.

"Sorry." She said, "Teasing you is just too interesting, everything just now was a joke, my real idea is — on the condition of giving the News Club a chance for on-site coverage, make them help publish an 'evaluation'."

"They might not be willing."

"Doesn't matter, afterwards there's still you challenging the Kendo Club, Swimming Club, Baseball Club, sooner or later they won't be able to resist agreeing."

". So how exactly am I supposed to defeat these clubs?"

"I have confidence in you." Mikami Ai smiled, "On my card, it says 'If there's trouble, find Qingshan Li'."

This should be the Divination Prophecy Department having confidence in Qingshan Li.

Can't just think he's omnipotent because he's handsome!

Compared to those with both talent and looks, there are more who are handsome yet good-for-nothing, and he, Qingshan Li, is unfortunately one of them.
