Chapter 268: Otaku Style
"The payment for the fourth print has not been settled, and the current new sales volume is very likely to be five prints."

“It’s true that The Little Prince took five to ten years to become a hit, but the revenue before that was impressive enough.”

"The plan can finally be implemented!"

What is the specific plan? Gu Lu is going to buy a house. He had this plan before, but the place he lives in is a bit small, so he didn't move to a new place because he wanted to get it done in one go.

He consulted lawyer Wang and learned that he could own a property on his own when he turned sixteen.

But because he was a minor, he was not allowed to take out a loan.

The current housing price in Sha District is around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, which is definitely much cheaper than in the future.

In fact, Gu Lu could have paid the full amount with his previous savings, but the house price plus the hardware would empty his wallet.

Without any cards in hand, Gu Lu felt insecure.

Now, with the money from Japanese writing, you can fight for wealth. Eight or nine hundred thousand to buy a house, two or three hundred thousand to decorate, that's enough.

Open the computer in the club office.

[Don't forget to write a slogan for the school] There is a sticky note on the lower left edge of the computer. This is Gu Lu's reminder to himself.

"Don't worry about the label yet. It's okay to think about it tomorrow for next semester." Gu Lu logged into his and Li Guyuan's Penguin accounts, the latter of which was to help with the upgrade.

[Gu Lu: Jiayu, I remember you told me that you designed your own little house before. What did it look like?]
Leave a message to Ms. Gu’s Penguin account. Her sister must be at school right now, so there’s no need to wait for a reply.

When Gu's mother brought her daughter to marry, she said to Gu Jiayu, "Go to your uncle's house, and you will have your own little room. You can have any kind of room you want."

"Really?" Gu Jiayu was ecstatic.

"Of course it's true." Gu's mother said confidently.

Then the heroine began to "design" the room herself, for example, painting it all black and placing a few artifacts (plastic swords).

Don’t tell the heroine about pink. Gu Jiayu felt that pink was childish when she was in elementary school. She always thought of herself as a killer without emotions.

The reason why Gu Lu had this memory was because of the discussion that the heroine had happily had with her brother at that time.

But the result was "It's enough to be able to live here, don't ask for so much, don't cause trouble to your Uncle Xiao."

The above example proves two things.

First of all, adults sometimes mean well, but... no one can imagine how much children care about a parent's words, and how it can cause serious harm to them.

Secondly, a child's understanding is the result of years of polishing. At the beginning, the heroine and her brother talked about everything as usual.

Leave a room for my younger sister. If she gets angry with her stepfather and mother Gu, she can run to my brother's house.

When you are bullied, knowing that you have a way out will give you a completely different feeling. Friends who often live under someone else's roof should know this, right?
He wants to truly fulfill his sister's dream and decorate the house however he wants. Gu Lu's personal favorite decoration style is relatively niche - "dead house style".

There must be plenty of bookshelves to store books and comics.

There should be more museum shelves to store the figures and various small gadgets that you have purchased.

You need a dedicated e-sports room with two computers and all kinds of game consoles like PSP and Switch.

Oh yes, the e-sports room also needs a refrigerator with a red transparent glass door like the one in a convenience store.

He actually doesn't play games very often, and he has no habit of reading comics.

But when Gu Lu saw the game console and the set of comic books, he felt happy if he owned them.

The otaku style may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it provides emotional value!

Gu Lu typed on the keyboard and wrote down all his requirements. He would print them out after deciding on a decoration company.

Then use the computer provided by the community to choose a house. In order to make it convenient for school, I must choose a nearby community.

"It is said that with the current housing prices, working people have to work hard for two lifetimes to be able to afford it. The Internet God is not lying to me."

The distance is close, but I am not satisfied.

After careful consideration, Gu Lu chose Phase 2 of Bauhinia. Phase was delivered last year and the occupancy rate is quite good.

The distance was almost two kilometers, and Gu Lu was thinking, should he buy a bicycle to make it more convenient to go to and from school?
But soon, Gu Lu rejected the idea of ​​buying a bicycle from the bottom of his heart. There were few bicycles in Fog City because the roads were as ups and downs as a roller coaster.

This also means that there are no non-motorized vehicle lanes at all.

We need to go to the community to see the details, Gu Lu thought.

Even in the classroom in the afternoon, Gu Lu was still thinking about buying a house.

"The Shuren Literary Society's Les Miserables will be performed in the small auditorium next week." My deskmate suddenly said. "Uh..." Gu Lu came back to his senses. He was thinking about CC being forced to quit the role of Fantine because of her family.

"Do you want to go and cheer for the members?" Gu Lu asked, and then he said, "I can grab a ticket."

There will be a performance in the auditorium next week, as well as a performance by the flag guard.

The audience was not students from No. 8 Middle School, as they had classes that day. The target group was the city's drama troupe, leaders of the city's education department, as well as media reporters and teachers from other schools.

To put it more bluntly, the Shu Ren Literary Society rehearsed "Les Miserables" just to set off the school.

This is to express that "our No. 8 Middle School's clubs and arts are really good." Although it is deliberate, the effect is good.

"Can we? But we still have classes that day!" Qi Caiwei's eyes flickered, and she was thinking, if she couldn't come to the performance, she might as well cheer for her fellow club members!

"I still have some respect in school." Gu Lu said in a flat tone.

"Forget it. I have to attend the Youth Rising Star Dance Competition that day," said Qi Caiwei.

There were promotional signs for the New Star Dance Conference on the buses, so Gu Lu must have known about it.

But, "Is it such a coincidence? They happened to meet on the same day?" Gu Lu asked.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence. The school's art show should have been specially chosen on the same day as the Rising Star Conference." Qi Caiwei guessed.

On purpose? Gu Lu thought for a moment and understood that Principal Chang had a lot of little thoughts.

However, it is better for school leaders to be more careful than to give orders randomly. Yes, I am talking about the principal of the junior high school of No. 37 Middle School. The school activities are carried out at will without considering the lives of teachers and students.

"Can't the time be coordinated?" Gu Lu asked unwillingly.

He recalled CC sneaking around and watching the other members practice with that piercing gaze, and it felt like his soul had passed away while his body remained far away.

"Where will the New Star Dance be held? What time will it start?" Gu Lu asked.

Qi Caiwei had adjusted her mentality and decided not to look at it, but Gu Lu had a serious expression.

She can't stand being bullied. If you bully her, CC will fall to her knees.

Tell everything in detail.

The Youth Rising Star Dance Competition is the most authoritative dance competition for youth in the southwest region.

This year it will be held at the North District Convention and Exhibition Center, with the opening ceremony at 4 pm.

As a contestant, Qi Caiwei had to arrive at the scene at least at 3:30 to arrange makeup, clothing, and appearance rehearsal.

It was indeed too late, as the performance in the small auditorium of No. 8 Middle School was at 2:30. If Qi Caiwei rushed there after the show, it would be past 3:30 anyway.

"It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future anyway." Qi Caiwei said, "And I have also prepared small gifts for my teammates."

There is still a chance - Qi Caiwei herself didn't believe it when she said it.

I will be even busier with dance in the future. Not to mention finding time to rehearse stage plays, I will probably have to cancel all club activities.

But if I am unhappy, I can't make others unhappy too. It was this thought that made Qi Caiwei smile as usual.

There was no solution to this problem, so Gu Lu could only change the subject, "A small gift?"

"Red Buttons." Qi Caiwei said, "Gulu, do you know Nijinsky? The Afternoon of a Faun is a reference to Nijinsky."

Gu Lu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and signaled Qi Caiwei to continue.

"A ballet dancer who shocked the West, even though he was sent to a mental hospital before he was 30, he was still hailed as the god of dance in the West," said Qi Caiwei. "Nijinsky's lucky charm was the red button."

"Oh, so the red buttons are like lucky charms for you dancers." Gu Lu drew inferences from one instance.

"Bingo, absolutely correct!" Qi Caiwei nodded, and then she said, "At first I thought the name "Hyouka" meant bingo."

My deskmate's thoughts started to wander, but CC was trying very hard to prove that he was very happy and was not affected at all.

The two of them randomly started chatting about other things.

It is not good to have too much empathy. For example, Qi Caiwei was obviously unhappy, but she still paid attention to her deskmate all the time.

The afternoon passed in a flash.

Gu Lu felt like he didn't do anything and the day was gone.
