"Of course, this is specially made! You can't buy it outside!"
Qianshu Lian said with a smile, taking another sip of the yogurt in his hand.
"Are you flaunting your wealth to me? I bet the pocket money I get in a month isn't enough to buy even one bottle, right?"
Hachiman Hikigaya stared intently at the yogurt in his hand, which he had already taken a sip from, and guessed with feigned seriousness.
"Be confident, Hachiman, remove 'bet' and the question mark! You really can't afford it!" Qianshu Lian didn't mind these small matters.
Their friendship meant they didn't need to care about such trivial things anymore; Hachiman Hikigaya had already gotten used to it.
Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't really understood what a 'rich friend' entailed before, but after getting to know Qianshu Lian, he finally understood.
This was a truly wealthy guy, and Hachiman Hikigaya officially had a wealthy friend in junior high.
"Alright, no more jokes! Since you don't have a club you want to join, Hachiman, I happen to be planning to start one. How about you come and help me?"
Qianshu Lian asked directly. There was no need to lie to Hachiman Hikigaya about this, as it was just about lending his name.
"Your club definitely won't be one of those casual ones. If I join, won't I be worked to death? You know I don't want to be a corporate slave!"
Hachiman Hikigaya's tone had little fluctuation, but it conveyed a desire to refuse.
"Don't worry, it's just for you to lend your name. I plan to establish a game club, but relying solely on a school club, even if I expand it to include everyone in the school, it would still be limited~"
Qianshu Lian spread his hands. It was difficult to fake things in terms of technology. School students lacked both technical skills and experience in story design.
It was simply impossible to complete large-scale game designs by relying solely on a school club.
However, for Qianshu Lian, just putting a name on it was very simple.
"You're not planning to outsource it, are you?"
Although he wasn't very familiar with the internal workings of the industry, even Hachiman Hikigaya, who had only briefly encountered some games, understood what outsourcing meant.
"How could I!"
Qianshu Lian flatly denied it. How could he possibly outsource something like this?
Hachiman Hikigaya had just let out a sigh of relief when he heard Qianshu Lian continue.
"I had the idea in junior high, so I established a game company back then. It's just that before, I only invested in them and let them develop games independently. Now it's time for them to help me!"
"You really are a complete rich kid. You established a game company so far in advance just for one of your ideas?"
Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly paused as he spoke, because he thought of a company that had gradually risen to prominence in the past year or two.
"You're not talking about Mihoyo, are you? No wonder it's called that. Is it really your twisted sense of humor?"
Hachiman Hikigaya complained without hesitation. When he first heard that name by chance, he felt it was very strange.
He felt that under normal circumstances, their name shouldn't be like that, but reality was precisely so.
"Ah, yes, and I even offered salaries more than three times the usual to poach people! It's been quite fruitful!"
Qianshu Lian said nonchalantly. Because money came too quickly, as one of the most inconspicuous rewards in the diary rewards, Qianshu Lian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the money he spent.
Even if he spent money faster than Japan printed it, it didn't matter. Worst case, he could exchange it for US dollars when he extracted rewards.
"This attitude of not treating money like money, anyone who didn't know would think you're a rich young master from some novel!"
Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly denied his previous statement after saying it, "No, I should say you *are* a rich young master from a novel!"
"Alright, let's not worry about these small matters for now. How about it? Do you want to lend your name to my club? That way, you won't be harassed by teachers even in the future!"
After Qianshu Lian finished speaking, Hachiman Hikigaya fell into contemplation.
Although it was just a first impression, Hachiman Hikigaya could tell at a glance that his homeroom teacher was indeed a qualified and responsible teacher.
But precisely because of this, when his various images gradually became exposed in the future, his reclusive image would definitely become a key focus for the teacher's corrective efforts.
At that time, it was even possible that he would be forced to join other clubs. Since such a possibility existed, wouldn't it be better to join his friend's club and lend his name in advance?
"Alright then, it just so happens that I also—"
Thinking of this, Hachiman Hikigaya unconsciously nodded, but his agreement was only halfway out when Qianshu Lian interrupted him.
"Very good, full of spirit! Then, I'll leave a part of the copywriting work to you!"
Qianshu Lian patted Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.
Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just agreed, was full of astonishment. Didn't he just say it was only for lending his name? Why was he now being asked to do copywriting work?
"Don't worry, I'm only asking you to be responsible for a very small part, after all, I have a professional game company!"
Qianshu Lian said with a smile. Only the duped Hachiman Hikigaya sighed helplessly. Just then, Qianshu Lian continued.
"However, as a reward for you not just lending your name but also actually being responsible for a part of the copywriting design, I will pay you some salary, but only a small part~"
Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya instantly perked up again. His pocket money was just not enough. Before, he could rely on scholarships and the like.
But now that he was in high school, there were far more good students than he had expected. To ensure his normal expenses, Hachiman Hikigaya had already decided to look for a part-time job sometime.
He never expected such a turn of events, so he also spoke up, "Such a small matter is completely harmless to me. As an old Chinese saying goes, 'Brothers will go through fire and water for each other!'"
Qianshu Lian looked indifferently at Hachiman Hikigaya, who had jumped out of his listless state and instantly entered an energetic one.
He just shook his head with a chuckle. Indeed, money was the driving force. Most of the 'can't,' 'impossible,' and 'not allowed' were just because there wasn't enough money.
