Chapter 798: Earn Five Stars
Chapter 798: Earn Five Stars
“What evil cult?” Xiao Qin was surprised I asked her to infiltrate an evil cult with me.
“I’ll tell you the specifics later, but I just wanted you to know about it first.”
The opening ceremony became an occasion for the head teacher to emphasize discipline. The auditorium wasn’t a suitable place for me to explain too complicated things to Xiao Qin.
“Yo- you’re not trying to get me to join the Mormon Church, right?” Xiao Qin suddenly asked with concern.
“Huh, how did you know about the Mormon Church?”
My erudite dad often spread all kinds of knowledge at the dinner table, so I know that there exists a very special branch of Christianity called Mormonism in the United States. It was pioneered in Salt Lake City and established in the middle of a wilderness.
“There are American Mormons in my mom’s crew.” Xiao Qin’s tone was gradually stirred up, “I don’t know if it’s an evil cult, but I heard that they preach polygamy. Does Ye Lin classmate want to join this religion? Are you making preparations in advance for your harem…”
Who’s planning to make a harem? Who wants to join the Mormon Church? The founder of the Mormon Church had 48 wives, but there’s only 45 people in our class! I can’t beat his record even if I marry the boys!
Also, I asked you to infiltrate an evil cult with me, not join one. You probably misheard because the head teacher was speaking too loud.
“It’s not the Mormon Church, but a small religion that just popped up in Dong Shan city. The founder is crazy, but he doesn’t preach for polygamy…”
I thought about it and then said: “They mainly scam other people out of their money. Their teachings are quite positive and encourage people to find true love…”
When Fang Xin first met me, he said something like ‘the one you love most will die’, he seems pretty conservative when it comes to marriage.
“Huh, that doesn’t sound like an evil cult. If that’s the case, let’s join together.”
“I didn’t ask you to join an evil cult, but to infiltrate it with me to destroy them!” I tried to raise my voice, “Of course they are an evil cult if they trick people and scam them out of their money!”
Xiao Qin nodded at me, “Yes, I will definitely help you destroy everyone blocking your path and make you the new leader.”
Who wants to be the leader of the Happy Science Cult? I’ve thought about doing many different professions in order to support Ai Mi’s luxurious life, but that didn’t include being a cult leader.
As for infiltrating the cult, I said it was too noisy and I’ll explain it in detail later.
I first took out my phone and drew up a plan for the implementation of the gold and silver star (little red flower) system.
I used the same “Wiz Note” app that the class leader uses to take notes electronically. The HHH enthusiasts group also uses its group function to share some of their pictures and comment on them.
I saw the app on my dad’s computer before and used it myself. I thought the group function was quite useful and could use it for my ‘step-sister discipline plan’.
“Do you see this app? It can be used on your phone or computer. I’m going to create a ‘sis discipline’ group and add you…”
Xiao Qin frowned: what does ‘sis discipline’ mean? I think I’ve heard of something similar in a manga QQ group. I think it was an adult game where the male protagonist trains his sister to receive guests or something…
Wow, that male protagonist should be killed! How could I make my sister do those kinds of things as a siscon? The abbreviation of my plan accidentally overlapped with the terminology used in that game! Also, I don’t think I should have used this name as the group name in the first place.
“It’s just a coincidence. My ‘sis discipline’ stands for readjustment plan for girls. If you don’t like the group name, I can change it.”
“No need to change it, I… I like to be readjusted by Ye Lin classmate…” Xiao Qin said with a blush on her face, “If Ye Lin classmate likes me even more after being readjusted, that would be great.”
So I set up the ‘sis discipline’ group on wiz notes right in front of Xiao Qin, and sent her an email invite.
I created a page called “Xiao Qin’s Star List” in the group, using ★ to represent gold stars and ☆ to represent silver stars. ★☆☆☆☆ would mean a total of one gold and four silver stars. Once you accumulate five silver stars, it would be turned into one gold star, and so on.
Xiao Qin wouldn’t have a lot of stars at the beginning, but this direct way of displaying the stars was a good way to keep track of everything. Once Xiao Qin redeems stars, I could then keep track and erase it.
Wiz notes has 5 kinds of permissions, and naturally I’m the “administrator”, while Xiao Qin’s permissions are set to “author”. Compared to the lowest permissions “reader”, she can freely read the documents in the group, and can also publish and manage her own documents, but cannot manipulate other people’s documents. For example, she can’t edit “Xiao Qin’s star list”, but only view it.
I gave Xiao Qin the right to post documents to allow her to upload good deeds that she thinks qualify for “stars” for me to evaluate. If it passes the evaluation, I will add stars on the “Xiao Qin’s Stars List”. It could also be used as a place to share information between Xiao Qin and me. As long as I don’t invite anyone else, it would be our secret place.
Xiao Qin looked at my phone as said: “I’m not sure what’s going on, but it looks very impressive… however, there’s a big problem, my own phone can’t access the Internet. It doesn’t even have a built-in browser and I can’t install the app…”
“I already said your crappy phone can only take pictures other than it looking good.”
“Then, then should I do.” Xiao Qin was so anxious that she was about to cry, “I can’t see my star list at any time, so I won’t have any motivation to do good deeds.”
“You can look at it on a computer.”
“I want to see it at any time ~~(gt;_lt;)~~”
“Bear with it for now. Once you earn five gold stars, I’ll buy you a new phone that can go online and install new apps.”
I’m not sure why I said I was going to buy Xiao Qin a new phone.
It’s probably because a few days ago, Dr. Yu agreed to buy phones for me and Winnie. While we didn’t end up going to the mall, the DIY upgrade was equivalent to me and Winnie buying a new phone.
After the modifications by Dr. Yu, my phone had dual systems and Ai Mi’s phone could shoot lasers. Overall, among all of us, Xiao Qin had the worst phone. It’s not because Auntie Ren was cheap, but because Xiao Qin only cared about appearances and chose the best looking one while the functionality was severely outdated.
As an older brother, I couldn’t watch my step-sister use such an awful phone and I had to think of a way to get her a new one.
I would be embarrassed to ask Dr. Yu to modify it again. Also, Xiao Qin cares about external appearances and there would definitely be traces left behind by the modifications (Winnie and I don’t care, but Xiao Qin might not like it).
The best solution was to buy a new phone for Xiao Qin. Smartphones nowadays aren’t really that expensive other than the iPhone. I still have my wages saved from acting as the deaf and mute evil monk, and Jin Ling Young Thug, I can use that to buy a phone for Xiao Qin.
It’s also to compensate for the fact that I embezzled up to ¥4,000 from Xiao Qin’s salary when she helped me write words for Ai Mi a while back.
I don’t like owing other people, so I’ll use this chance to return it to Xiao Qin (the total amount I earned from those roles happens to be close to this amount).
“Ye Lin classmate is going to buy me a cell phone?” Xiao Qin was flattered, “I, I’m just a childhood friend, not your girlfriend, so why are you being so nice to me…”
“Also, my phone still works and I like how it looks. It doesn’t matter if I can’t check my star list at any time, I can use my mom’s laptop when I get home anyway…”
“I’m guessing that you’re going to use the money you earned as an actor. It’s your first income, so it should be used to buy something more meaningful…”
“Don’t say anymore.” I stopped Xiao Qin from continuing, “I think it’s quite meaningful to buy you a new phone, and it’s not particularly easy for you to get. You have to save up 5 gold stars first.”
“It’s…” Xiao Qin first hesitated and then replied, “I will definitely try to get those 5 stars. It’s my lifelong dream for you to buy me something with your hard-earned money. I will cherish the phone you buy me just like I cherish Brother Optimus Prime.”
I waved my hand, “No need to treat it like it’s Brother Optimus Prime. Also, keep your voice down, don’t let anyone around us hear…”
“Ye Lin classmate, you will lose money if you don’t marry me…”
“Huh, what did you say?” The environment was too noisy and I didn’t quite hear what Xiao Qin said.
“It’s nothing.” Xiao Qin wiped the corner of her eyes, “Anyway, I will try my best to transform myself into a good girl. I’ll go home today and study how to do good deeds, and how to start a cult.”
“Hey, why are you combining those two things together? I wanted you to perform good deeds, then infiltrate a cult with me. I never asked you to help me fight to become a cult leader!”
“I noticed you work quite hard, but evil cults can make money easily… as long as it’s not a evil cult that practices polygamy, I don’t care if you become the cult leader.”
At this moment, the head teacher finally stopped roaring. The host, Xu Yan, announced that the opening ceremony will proceed to the fourth item on the agenda, which was the student representative speech.
The opening ceremony was also a pep rally for the third years, so the student representatives were naturally chosen from the third year students.
As I had expected, the class leader Shu Sha, walked towards the podium in her uniform with her long hair flowing behind her. She walked up to the middle of the podium with her chest up and then stopped in front of the microphone.
The school auditorium was silent and the majority of the people’s attention was attracted to the beautiful, long-haired girl who made an appearance on stage.
