n“On- one hundred million little red flowers to have kids with Ye Lin classmate…” Xiao Qin said, “Where would I go to do one hundred million good deeds?”

n“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” I said unsympathetically.

n“Al- alright.” Xiao Qin clenched her fists and made a firm resolution, “I’ve never earned any little red flowers in elementary school, so I’ll earn them from Ye Lin classmate now. I’ll definitely perform a lot of good deeds in order to earn one hundred million red flowers, even if I have to sell Gong CaiCai…”

n“Hey, wouldn’t someone normally say ‘even if they have to sell themselves’? What did Gong CaiCai ever do to you?”

n“But, but I could only sell myself to Ye Lin classmate. In other words, I would be an exclusive supply…”

nAuntie Ren, come quickly, your daughter became an exclusive supply good! I think Auntie Ren was the one who bought shoujo manga for Xiao Qin, so she has some responsibility how Xiao Qin behaves.

n“Gong CaiCai isn’t the same as me, she could be sold to anyone and she’s also a best-seller…”

n“What do you mean she could be sold to anyone?”

nXiao Qin began to count down with her fingers: “First, I could find a pitiful otaku online who can’t find a girlfriend. I’ll send him Gong CaiCai’s personal information and ask if he wants to buy her. If he pays, then I’ll tell the Rose group to send Gong CaiCai over to him…”

n“That’s human trafficking! What does it have to do with earning red flowers?”

n“How does it not have anything to do with red flowers?” Xiao Qin pouted, “I fulfilled the wish of a pitiful otaku to get a girlfriend, so I should earn at least one red flower!”

nI was speechless and before I could respond, Xiao Qin said:

n“However, I’m very kind and couldn’t bear to see Gong CaiCai being forced to become a stranger’s girlfriend. I stood up for what’s right and saved Gong CaiCai from the evil Rose group ~~~ that would be the second good deed and I would earn my second little red flower.”

nIt’s all self-directed and the Rose group was following your orders! If anything, the evil prefix should be added to your name!

nIt made me think of earlier when Xiao Qin wanted to added a title in front of my name. If I had the tile of ‘The Great Ye Lin’ and stood next to ‘The Evil Xiao Qin’ it would make us seen like two video game BOSS characters.

nI thought it was already shameless enough selling Gong CaiCai, then rescuing her to earn two red flowers, but I underestimated Xiao Qin.

n“Although I rescued Gong CaiCai, I’m too kind and couldn’t bear to see the otaku cry on his keyboard because he couldn’t receive his good, so I sent Gong CaiCai back again…”

nSo I guess you’re going to count that as another good deed? How is that being kind, Gong CaiCai is going to get toyed to death by you.

n“It’s also bad to ignore Gong CaiCai, so I’ll rescue her before she meets the otaku and ends up in a living hell…”

nYou’ve never even considered Gong CaiCai’s feeling since the beginning, nor have you considered the otaku’s feelings. I think she ended up in a living hell when she fell into your hands.

n“Now the otaku who doesn’t have a girlfriend cries again, so I send Gong CaiCai back…”

n“…..”

n“Then Gong CaiCai cries and I’ll have no other choice but to save Gong CaiCai… sigh, it’s hard being a good person, but if it’s for one hundred million little red flowers…”

nDo you think you’re farming mobs in a video games? Are you going to travel back and forth between Gong CaiCai and the otaku’s house fifty million times in order to farm one hundred million red flowers?

n“No cheating.” I said seriously, “Harming someone to save them would count as a prank, not as a good deed.”

nXiao Qin puffed her cheeks, then asked: “Then… does helping a granny cross the road count as a good deed?”

n“It does, but be careful when you help them. Auntie Ren worked hard to earn her money, and didn’t she just repair her bumblebee? If you don’t help the granny correctly, then Auntie Ren’s sports car will turn into a bicycle…”

n“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help the old lady across the road without fail.” Xiao Qin confidently said, “I absolutely won’t let her fall. I’ll hold onto her and first walk from left to right, then from right to left, and then from left to right…”

nSo now she found a different way to farm red flowers by farming grannies? Do you want to torment an old granny to death? If you cross a street back and forth five thousand times, forget her soles, even her knees would be grinded to dust.

n“No mindless farming or doing the same thing over and over again. Only actual meaningful good deeds will earn you flowers, otherwise it would be considered as a prank.”

nXiao Qin pouted: “Then when would I be able to save up to one hundred million red flowers? I heard it takes a person over 3 years to count from one to one hundred million even if they don’t do anything else…”

nI gave you an astronomical figure to make it difficult for you on purpose. But in order for it to be a motivator, I should give her more realistic goals to work towards.

n“Um… little red flower sounds like it’s for elementary school students. We’re already in our third year and should be more mature, so why don’t we use the silver and gold star system?”

nThe silver and gold star system is just a variation of the little red flower system, so I explained:

n“Since you used Gong CaiCai as an example earlier, then I’ll also use her as an example. For example, when Gong CaiCai collects homework and accidentally drops it, then you will get a silver start if you help her pick it up.”

n“If Gong CaiCai was being harassed by some scummy men, then you will get a gold star if you chase them away. The conversion rate between gold to silver stars is 1:5….”

nXiao Qin said quickly: “I have androphobia, so I can’t chase those men away.”

n“I’m giving you a gold star exactly because it’s a difficult task for you. It’s not like you need to talk to them to chase them away, so I’m sure you can come up with a solution. Or you can focus on doing simple good deeds and save up on silver stars.”

n“Um…” Xiao Qin twiddled her fingers and asked, “How many stars do I need to level up from childhood friend to a girlfriend?”

nHuh, did you really come here to play games? No wonder you were always thinking about farming mobs earlier. But leveling up to girlfriend status is still much better than trying to have kids earlier and I don’t need to throw out a really large number to scare her.

n“Ten thousand gold stars.”

nI thought it was already difficult to reach that number, and I, had the perfect way to deny it. Before Xiao Qin accumulates 10,000 gold stars, my dad and Auntie Ren will have already gotten married, so Xiao Qin can only blame her bad luck.

n“The rules of the gold and silver star system hasn’t been set in stone right now, but we can use it starting now.” I whispered in the dark auditorium, “Any time I find that you have done something worthy of commendation, you will be given additional stars, then recorded so the same acts would give the same value. Silver stars are only used for points and only gold stars have exchange value. I’ll pat your head once for one gold star, I’ll give you a hug for three gold stars, and I’ll let you kiss my face once for five gold stars…”

nI said as I felt a sense of shame. I would only allow myself to be kissed on the face after 25 good deeds, who would accept it other than Xiao Qin?

nXiao Qin thought carefully in the darkness for a while, then she suddenly asked quietly: “Although it’s my duty to help you and sister Ai Mi, but can I also receive stars.”

nI was surprised why Xiao Qin lowered her voice since the head teacher was still screeching so the people next to us couldn’t hear our conversation.

n“Yes, you can. If you help Ai Mi, even if it’s just a small task, the minimum I’ll give you is a gold star.”

nI have the responsibility to make sure my real sister and step-sister has a good relationship. The first rule of the ‘three sis-con rules’ was the ‘brother shall not harm the overall rights and interests of the sisters, and shall not sit back and watch the overall rights and interests of the sisters be harmed’. Reducing conflicts between my sisters was my first priority in order to achieve rule one.

nXiao Qin’s voice was now as quiet as a mosquito’s: “Will you be angry if I mention your mother? I deserve it if you get so angry that you want to hit me, but I hope Ye Lin won’t hit me in front of everyone and wait until no one is around…”

n“I won’t hit you. Tell me what you wanted to say.”

nI would have never be able to react so calmly before. I used to be always so sensitive around anything that involves Ai ShuQiao, so that’s why Xiao Qin didn’t really want to talk about it.

nI’ve matured a bit after I had a life and death experience. I won’t vent my anger on innocents anymore because they pointed out Ai ShuQiao was my mother since Ai ShuQiao’s mistakes have nothing to do with anyone else.

nAfter receiving my permission, Xiao Qin said:

n“Ye Lin classmate, I know you’ve been planning to free sis Ai Mi from her mother’s control, so if I help you do that, how many gold stars can I get?”

n“Five thousand.” I blurted out without hesitation, and only a little later did I feel that there was something very wrong with what Xiao Qin said.

n“Hey, what are you planning to do? Did you find out about your uncle’s negotiation with Ai ShuQiao?”

nXiao Qin nodded, “I accidentally heard a little of my uncle’s phone call, but only a generally understanding… Ye Lin classmate’s wish is my wish, so I will help you achieve your wish even if you don’t give me any stars. Ye Lin classmate’s blooming smile is the biggest reward for me…”

n“Dummy.” I held Xiao Qin’s hand in the dark, “Don’t put yourself at risk for me. In my eyes, you are just as important as Ai Mi. Also, there’s been a change of plans for Ai Mi’s….”

nI suddenly had an idea, “Xiao Qin, do you want to come infiltrate a evil cult with me? I think it would be quite fun for you, right? If you complete this task, then I’ll give you extra stars.”
