#471 - Chapter 470 Visiting Relatives, Mei Xiaomo
#471 - Chapter 470 Visiting Relatives, Mei Xiaomo
Chinese New Year is a happy occasion.
It's also a troublesome one.
For example, visiting relatives.
Ever since Yan Di and Fei Peng went to the Goblin Plains to find the dragon, Qi Jing's interest in games had diminished by more than half, and he could only follow his parents to visit relatives everywhere.
Of course, there was also the reason that Tan Zuoyin and Yan Cheng were also visiting relatives...
As for surpassing Prince Amusement? Let's talk about it after the New Year.
Dealing with real people is much harder than in games.
Qi Jing sat on the sofa at his grandmother's house, looking at the group of relatives chatting enthusiastically in front of him, and silently took out his phone:
[Zha Yin, I'm at grandma's house today, all the aunts are here, so boring]
He saw the group of aunts and uncles sitting on the sofa when he entered the door, and the older cousins sitting on stools next to them, all gathered in a circle discussing important national and family matters.
The men had one topic, the women had another.
And there was a team of little kids playing with toys on the floor.
Being incompatible with them, he could only sit in the space specially left for him and space out.
Tan Zuoyin replied: [No, you won't be bored in a while, this is just the beginning]
Qi Jing: [Ah?]
Tan Zuoyin: [3, 2, 1]
Qi Jing was still wondering why Tan Zuoyin typed out these three numbers when Qi's mother's voice came:
"Xiao Jing, what are you doing playing with your phone during the New Year, come and talk."
The eldest aunt also looked at Qi Jing:
"That's right, young people shouldn't always play with their phones, it's not good for their eyes, chat with everyone more."
The second aunt said with a smile:
"Xiao Jing has been admitted to the Supernatural Ability University, it is said that you can't get in without talent, Xiao Jing, tell these younger ones what's in the Supernatural Ability University and what you usually do, to give them some motivation to study."
The eldest aunt, second aunt, and Qi's mother's three sentences made all the relatives who were just discussing family matters turn their heads and look at Qi Jing like he was some rare treasure.
Even the two-year-old daughter in the little aunt's arms turned her head and looked at him with her two cute big eyes.
Ah, this...
I shouldn't have picked up my phone!
Why did Zha Yin predict it so accurately!
Can't you guys discuss yours and I chat mine?
And the oldest of the younger siblings in this room is only in the senior class of kindergarten, what do they need motivation for~
What's so good about being eager to grow up.
Qi Jing licked his lips and slowly opened his mouth under the gaze of the relatives:
"That, Supernatural Ability University is nothing, it's built similarly to ordinary universities, there are swimming pools, zoos, botanical gardens, arenas, etc. What we usually learn is knowledge of other worlds, and then there's training, we have to run for an hour every morning, it's exhausting."
Qi Jing really didn't know what to say.
He couldn't say that he was either staring blankly in class or reading novels and playing games after class every day in the academy, he couldn't say that he was chopping armored crabs in another world, he could only talk about the academy's daily training.
Although he didn't train himself...
After complaining a few words in his heart, he looked at the people in front of him who were still staring at him while eating melon seeds, and a big question arose.
What are you still looking at me for? I've said so many words, shouldn't your next step be to continue the conversation?
Shouldn't someone comfort me for saying "exhausting"?
Was the enthusiastic discussion just now fake? How could you be so empathetic and talk about everything when talking about others? When it comes to me, it becomes a solo stand-up comedy?
Ah ya ya ya ya~
It's not a solution to be stared at all the time, I have to say a few more words.
Qi Jing squeezed out two more sentences again:
"That, Supernatural Ability University is not much different from ordinary universities, most of it depends on self-motivated learning, and it has to go through practical combat... tice to be able to master it, as long as you pass the exam, you don't have to go to class, anyway, it's more free than ordinary universities, except for the morning run every day."
Thank goodness, I almost misspoke.
Combat is too far away from ordinary people, and it's in front of relatives, saying it will only cause worry and require careful explanation, so it's better not to say it.
Anyway, the inheritance experiment has produced a lot of life-saving tools, as long as you don't want to die and don't be reckless, the probability of death is still very low.
As if seeing Qi Jing's embarrassment, the grandmother said with a smile:
"We old people don't understand your university matters, and the younger siblings are too young, why not talk to Xiao Mo, she will take the college entrance examination after this year, go and chat with her in the back."
"Okay, Grandma."
Qi Jing quickly stood up from the sofa in the living room filled with a heavy atmosphere and slipped into the small bedroom next door.
The eldest aunt, second aunt, and little aunt all had two or three children, who were relatively young, so they could stay in the big living room without restraint, and no one would discuss their studies.
The older cousins have all started working and can chat with these adults.
Only himself and his cousin Mei Xiaomo are the only two in the family who are busy with school, and one has just finished the college entrance examination and the other is about to take it, staying here will only become a topic of conversation.
Why didn't I just leave?
Qi Jing suspected that he hadn't read enough family ethics novels in the past two days and had forgotten the scene of becoming the focus of attention when visiting relatives before.
I have to say, the cousin who is in the third year of high school is smarter than himself, she hid in the small bedroom next door as soon as she entered the door.
"Xiao Mo, what are you playing here?"
Qi Jing saw his cousin lying on the bed and giggling at her phone after he came in.
Mei Xiaomo turned her head and saw that it was Qi Jing, then rolled over, raised her head and said:
"I'm not playing anything, just watching short videos, Brother, have you ever done a live broadcast?"
"What for? You want to do a live broadcast?"
This cousin of his is average in her studies, and recently she has been either reading novels or watching TV every day, and I don't know who she learned it from.
But apart from studying, she is actually very clever, which can be seen from the fact that she hid in the bedroom as soon as she entered her grandmother's house.
And she has a strong execution ability.
When she wanted to learn guitar when she was a child, she wholeheartedly learned it for two years, then she wanted to learn calligraphy, so she went to learn it intently for a year, and then she went to learn taekwondo, as well as dancing and chess.
It's just that she hasn't moved much since she went to high school, one reason is that class time is tight, and more is that she has become obsessed with novels and TV.
But Qi Jing still had to admire this cousin's vitality.
If he were to do these things, apart from reading novels and watching TV, he would definitely give up before he could even persist for half a month.
Could it be that this little girl is going to enter the live broadcast industry recently?
Want to make money?
Mei Xiaomo sat up and said to Qi Jing:
"Brother, I think I can be a big streamer, what do you think?"
"What are you going to broadcast? Live dancing?"
"Can I dance with this little body? I want to sing!"
Mei Xiaomo is very self-aware of her figure, with her height of one meter and fifty-nine, she can't use anything she learned before, and she can only dance Two Tigers.
"Singing? Have you ever learned to sing?" Qi Jing remembered that she hadn't learned to sing?
Mei Xiaomo pointed to the phone and said:
"No, that's why I want to broadcast singing, you see, although my figure is not good, my face looks good, I can first use my face to attract those old perverts into the live broadcast room, and then conquer them with my beautiful voice and positive attitude towards learning songs! Let them experience the pleasure of nurturing, and they will give me a lot of gifts! Hehehe~"
Nurturing streamer?
Nurturing a tone-deaf streamer into a song queen with little hearts and light panels?
"Can this work?"
Hearing Qi Jing's question, Mei Xiaomo lay back on the bed again, waved her arms, and looked indifferent:
"What are you afraid of, anyway, even if I don't do a live broadcast, I will start learning to sing after graduation, it's not a loss to broadcast, maybe I can make a lot of money."
Sure enough, what this little girl really wants to do is sing, live broadcasting is just a whim.
Qi Jing nodded:
"Okay, I'll give you gifts when the time comes, I'll give you ten big planes."
Hearing this, Mei Xiaomo sat up again with a jolt, staring at Qi Jing with her big, mischievous eyes:
"Good brother, are you seeing me off now? Oh, right, you haven't given me my New Year's red envelope yet, hurry up and give it to me!"
"Hey, I'm only a year older than you, how can you ask me for a red envelope?"
"Just because you're only a year older doesn't mean you're not an elder? Don't think I don't know you're rich. You made a lot of money at the Ability Academy. How can you be embarrassed not to give your sister a red envelope?"
"Sorry, I really am embarrassed."
Seeing Qi Jing's not-so-firm attitude, Mei Xiaomo pointed her index finger, the same one she used to point at him, at her chin, closing her eyes and admiring herself:
"This is the debut of a future big streamer, you know. If you give me a big red envelope, I'll take a picture with you."
A photo?
You think you can attract me with that?
"Take a look at what this is?"
Qi Jing took out the photo of him and Yu Ding, waving it in front of her, and even flashed the autograph on the back.
Mei Xiaomo glanced at it, then snatched the photo from his hand with a whoosh, opening her mouth wide in amazement:
"A photo with the God of Beauty? Wow, good brother~ You're so amazing? When can you let me take a picture with the God of Beauty too?"
"When you awaken a good ability and get into the Ability Academy, I'll take you there."
Qi Jing was very satisfied with Mei Xiaomo's attitude and admiring gaze, and readily agreed to this small request.
It's just a photo with a top global artist, is that even a thing for Qi?
"You're really my good brother. When I get into the Ability Academy, I'll write your homework for you!"
Mei Xiaomo didn't expect her cousin, whom she had grown up with, to become so amazing after entering the Ability Academy, actually managing to get a photo and autograph of a handsome man, and even being able to get one for herself.
He's changed, really changed.
No wonder everyone says college is nourishing. It's really different from senior year of high school. Even an ordinary brother can become so awesome after going there.
"Brother, I heard that the first year of Ability Academy isn't much different from regular universities? How come I feel like you're different?"
She heard from her classmates that so-and-so's brother also just entered the Ability Academy this year, and usually just runs and goes to school, and that it's almost the same as a regular university except for what they study.
Qi Jing looked at his cousin, whom he hadn't seen in half a year, and said proudly:
"Can the treatment of the top student in your school be the same as that of ordinary students? The school leaders have to give them face. The same goes for our Ability Academy."
"You're the top student?"
Mei Xiaomo tilted her head and stared at Qi Jing, her big and small eyes filled with the words "I doubt it."
"Come, come, come, take a look at this."
Qi Jing took out his Newcomer King medal again, handed it to Mei Xiaomo, and said:
"Made of vibranium-plated zhen silver, and processed with special materials from another world, it's more expensive than ten Olympic gold medals."
Seeing her mouth open in a perfect circle, looking incredulous, Qi Jing felt extremely comfortable.
What is the meaning of a medal?
Isn't it for showing off? What's the point of receiving an award if you don't show it off?
Kuhahahaha~
Little cousin, little cousin, admire your brother!
Unfortunately, only those who enter the Ability Academy can understand the value of this medal, and the probability of each person entering the Ability Academy is very small. Your shock might not be enough.
"Wow, brother, you're really number one, that's amazing!"
Mei Xiaomo exclaimed as she looked at the words "31st Newcomer Competition First Place" on it.
Although she didn't know what the Newcomer Competition was, it didn't say "running" or "long jump" on it, which meant that it was a competition that all newcomers could participate in, and her brother had won first place.
Isn't this much more awesome than those Qingbei class number ones who act like they're all that?
"Brother, is your lottery ability that strong?"
Because of her senior year of high school, her second aunt was strict, and Mei Xiaomo couldn't get her hands on a mobile phone that could connect to the internet. When she occasionally connected to the internet, she was eager to download novels and TV shows, and didn't have much time to chat with Qi Jing. She only knew that his ability was called lottery, but she didn't know what it did.
"Of course, this is the strongest ability in history. Come, come, come, let me show you. Lottery!"
Qi Jing aimed it at the phone in her hand.
In the blink of an eye, a plastic sheet as big as a tablet appeared in front of Mei Xiaomo.
Anti-Confiscation Novel Collection: No energy required, no internet required, no charging required, no ads required; covers all current online novels and updates in real time; adjustable font brightness; can be controlled by thought for searching and page turning.
Wow?
A special tool for secretly reading novels in class?
It's only two millimeters thick, can be bent at will, just like a cardboard pad, and can be placed under a piece of scratch paper to only increase the font brightness to see the words.
A divine artifact!
Definitely a divine artifact!
Unfortunately, I'm already a mature college student and don't need it.
"Xiaomo, look at this good thing I conjured with my ability..."
Qi Jing explained its functions to Mei Xiaomo.
The more Mei Xiaomo listened, the brighter the light in her eyes became. This thing is too suitable for secretly reading novels in class!
If I had this, would I still be sleepy and want to sleep in class?
"Amazing, right? I'll give it to you, a New Year's gift."
"Thank you to my brother's ancestors for eight generations!"
"Cough, cough, if you get caught using this in class, don't say I gave it to you."
"Don't worry, I found it. Such a good thing must have been found."
"Sensible, come, come, come, let me give you some more good things."
Qi Jing knew that his cousin's heart wasn't in studying, and making her honestly go to high school was simply torture, so he gave her a lot of small toys that could be played without connecting to the internet.
The former me didn't have the ability, but now I do, so I have to rescue my cousin from my second aunt's 'oppression'!
Reading is no longer the only way out!
Looking at the smiling Xiaomo, Qi Jing felt very comfortable.
If I had had such a good brother back then, how happy would I have been~
"Brother, you're giving me so many things, won't your girlfriend be jealous~"
What the heck is this statement?
As expected of someone who wants to enter the streaming industry, she must have watched a lot of short videos during the winter vacation.
"Don't worry, she'll have even more than you. Wait, how do you know I have a girlfriend?"
Qi Jing remembered that he hadn't told his cousin that he had a girlfriend?
Mei Xiaomo, still immersed in happiness, casually said:
"The whole family knows. My mom even told me that when I go to college, I can find a boyfriend at will.
She said that my cousin was able to get a girlfriend because he went to a good university.
Unfortunately, using this example to motivate me is useless. Who doesn't know that my brother is handsome as hell, even if he didn't go to school, he would still be chased by a lot of people~"
Pleasant to hear, I love to hear it.
As expected of my sister, she understands me.
"Hey, modesty, just average handsomeness."
"Come, come, come, handsome guy, sing a song on live stream to help your sister gain fans, how about it? Lay the foundation for my streaming career in half a year."
"No problem! Singing is nothing to me. Do you know why the God of Beauty took a photo with me? It's because my singing skills are strong, and he wanted to win me over. Unfortunately, I rejected him."
Mei Xiaomo continued to praise him with an adoring look:
"As expected of the most awesome brother in the world, even the God of Beauty wants to win you over. I'm so happy to have such a brother! Come, look at the camera, let's stream for a while. What song do you want to sing? Let's find an accompaniment first."
Qi Jing's mouth couldn't help but turn up under Mei Xiaomo's praise.
He waved his hand and conjured a guitar:
"Why put on an accompaniment? Playing and singing is my true strength!"
"Wow, brother, you're so cool~"
"Let's hit a high note first, that would be..."
