She had heard that some humans would use software and viruses to control computer cameras, and then take the opportunity to do some obscene things.

"Let me make it clear first. What I like is the type of big sister who is plump and full of knowledge. If I insist on looking for a reference, it is probably Ryoko-chan... You should stop looking at me with that look. You have to ask yourself. I’m just looking for a reference!”

Lin Qiao couldn't help but lie on the table. If he could, he really didn't want to dwell on this issue.

After all, pretending to be stupid all the time is not suitable for him in the first place.

"So you should understand, although I don't hate it, you and Hinami are really not the type that I'm interested in... What's your answer?"

"It's a bit irritating...but forget it, I'll settle the issue with you later."

He waved his hand rather unhappily, and then pointed at the computers and game consoles piled in the corner of the room.

"That pile of stuff should be worth a lot of money anyway, right? Doesn't your family have any objections to this?"

To be honest, the salary given to her in Anding District is not low, but even so, even if it is a half-price second-hand goods, buying one of them will be enough to hurt her for a long time.

But this guy actually gave it away as soon as he said it would be given away, which seemed suspicious no matter how he thought about it.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small amount of money...Have you ever heard of money power?"

For a moment, Kirishima Touka felt that her pride was seriously hurt.

"You guy... don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have money!"

It is impossible to lose a few ugly dollars to Cricket with your true feelings!

"But it is undeniable that if you have money, you can indeed survive better, right?"

Lin Qiao shook her head, and then pointed to the review materials Dong Xiang left on the desk, with a failed test paper underneath.

If you step on the answer sheet twice, your score will be higher than that.

"If nothing else, Dong Xiang, you want to go to college, right?"

"So what, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"No, I just want to remind you that the tuition for going to college alone costs hundreds of thousands for one year, and this is just the tuition. Indispensable things such as life and social interaction also add up to a huge amount of money. "

"Well....."

It was obviously the beginning of autumn, but Dong Xiang felt like a bucket of ice water was poured on her head, making her feel a little chilly.

Chapter 20 The survival rules of the ghoul

"So, so what, as long as you work hard..."

"By the way, this is only based on ordinary universities. If your goal is to go to a famous school, the difficulty may be even higher."

"If you want to get good grades, it's simply not enough to rely on what the teacher teaches in class. Otherwise, cram schools should have disappeared long ago."

As he said that, he shook his head sadly.

This is the flaw of happy education, and it is also a honey trap set by the elite for the people at the bottom.

On the surface, they are happy, but the result is that poor students are getting worse and worse, and children born from the elite will spend money to enter prestigious schools with the help of various cram schools, and monopolize various top careers after graduation.

Even if someone realizes this, it is useless to work hard. After all, the tuition fees alone are not affordable for ordinary families. Even if a genius counterattack really occurs... that doesn't matter. , he will join this system.

The children of the lower class will always be at the bottom, and the children of the elite will always be the elite - class consolidation is, in short, a commonplace issue.

"Considering that you have to work part-time, you will definitely not have time to go to extracurricular tutoring classes, and the review time will naturally be much shorter than others... Although I don't want to hurt you, under these conditions, just want to Getting in is already as difficult as going to heaven.”

Money is not everything...but if there is something that even spending money can't do, then I'm afraid I won't be too optimistic about the effect that 'hard work' can have.

Lin Qiao's words were like a sharp knife, thrust straight into Kirishima Touka's chest.

It's like a student who worked hard to answer questions in the examination room, only to find that he missed his name after returning home.

Oh, wash the kelp~ Oh, wash the kelp~

'It seems a bit too much...'

But no matter what, it is a good thing to recognize the reality early.

Ignoring Dong Xiang's shock, Lin Qiao stood up, stretched, and then opened the door.

"Whoa!"

Kaneki Ken, who had almost half of his body pressed against the door, crashed in instantly and fell to the ground with an embarrassed look on his face.

In addition to him, Madoka Furuma and Xuan Irimi were also standing outside, but compared to Kaneki Ken, their expressions were much calmer, as if "I happened to be passing by."

So ginger is still spicy when old.

"Well, anyway, you can ask Brother Kaneki for specific matters. He is a student at Kamei University. He should know more about these matters than me...right, Brother Kaneki."

Lin Qiao was not annoyed about being overheard. She just smiled and patted Kaneki Ken on the shoulder who was apologizing, then turned to look at Irimixuan aside.

"What a coincidence, Sister Iruma. I just want to drink a cup of coffee to quench my thirst. It's the same as before, the signature blended coffee with more sugar. I'll leave it to you."

"OK, just a second."

After saying that, Ru Jianxuan smiled warmly at Lin Qiao and left.

but.....

Just as he was stepping on the bottom of the stairs, the door of another house opened.

Coming out of it was Ryoko Fueguchi with an apologetic look on her face...and Hinomi standing behind her with slightly red eyes, clutching her mother's clothes tightly.

"Mr. Ishimori, if you can, please wait a moment."

"Uh, Miss Ryoko, what can I do?"

"I'm sorry that I misunderstood you before, and I ask for your forgiveness." She seemed to feel that there was some unspeakable relationship, and her eyes were a little uncertain.

"Although I am very grateful for your kindness, the things you gave Hinami are too valuable. Please forgive me for not being able to..."

"It's okay, Miss Ryoko, those things are not as important as you think." Lin Qiao stopped Ryoko Diguchi from wanting to return the things.

"But this is inevitable..."

"It doesn't matter, money is not too important to me anyway, and I don't do this kind of thing for money."

"Then why?"

This is also something that makes everyone confused. This can no longer be said to be philanthropic. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is philanthropic and bankrupt.

"Well, well, if I have to say it, I probably saw myself in Hinami."

Lin Qiao said frankly, turning her head to the side in embarrassment.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, although it's a bit shameful to say this, I do belong to the relatively lonely type. My parents were no longer around a long time ago, and I don't have many friends, so later I saw Xiao Hinami alone in the park. , I couldn’t help but want to help.”

"Is that so..." Ryoko Diguchi opened her mouth and said softly.

"So just think that Hinami is accompanying me, a patient with autism, and please accept it with peace of mind."

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a bitter smile.

It seemed that because some sad topics were mentioned, others present remained silent even though they felt that Lin Qiao might be hiding something.

.....

After staying in Anding District for a while, Lin Qiao left, and the employees in the coffee shop also closed the shop after dark.

"Is it an illusion? I always feel that Touka is so depressed today." While cleaning, Kaneki Ken turned around and glanced at Kirishima Touka who was washing the tableware but was a little absent-minded.

"Kaneki."

"yes!"

After his name was called, he subconsciously tensed up his body, and at the same time, he hoped in his heart that Dong Xiang didn't hear what he said just now.

"Is it difficult to get into college or something?"

"Eh? Eh, if you're in college..." The expected scolding didn't come. After thinking for a while, he gave an explanation that he thought was relatively impressive.

"It's still difficult, but as long as you study hard, it'll be fine."

"What about famous schools, such as Kamui University?"

"Ah, I'm afraid this is a bit..."

It's difficult, and it's not that difficult in general. Luck and strength are both indispensable. Even if he were asked to go back in time and take the exam again, he wouldn't have the confidence.

"That's it, it turns out that guy didn't lie."

From the forced expression on Kaneki Ken's face, she probably knew what the other person wanted to say.

I thought that if I worked hard to study and catch up with others, even if the result was unsatisfactory, at least I wouldn't lose too badly, but in the end, I didn't even touch the most basic steps...

Why do you suddenly feel that human life is more tiring than ghouls?

He sighed helplessly. Although he was indeed a little bit shocked by Lin Qiao at the moment, it was not to the point of being overwhelmed. After thinking about it for a while, he felt relieved.

At least Kirishima Touka had no regrets about going to school, otherwise he wouldn't have had the chance to meet Yiko.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.

"But speaking of which, Mr. Ishimori is obviously a human, but he is very familiar with everyone in the store."

"Does this seem unusual to you?"

Faced with Kirishima Touka's gaze, Kaneki Ken shook his head nervously and explained.

"Yeah, I can't say it's abnormal, it's just not what I thought."

"Really? Then get used to it as soon as possible. For ghouls, if you want to integrate into this society, good interpersonal relationships are also essential. This will also help hide our identity... But there is also that That’s why the guys are familiar with each other.”

"It feels like Touka hates Mr. Ishimori."

"Actually, I'm not completely disgusted, but before I answer, I'd like to ask you what you think of that guy."

"Well, what's my opinion... Although Mr. Ishimori's words are a bit strange and he always makes fun of me, his personality is very gentle. Last time I accidentally spilled coffee on him and he wasn't angry. Hinami is also very good, so it should still be..."

"Nice guy, right?"

Being a little impatient by Momoji's description, Dong Xiang interrupted directly and named the subject.

Kaneki Ken nodded.

"You shouldn't have developed an appetite for him when you were close to him, right?"

"Eh? If you put it that way, it doesn't seem to be the case. It must have something to do with the coffee, right?"

"It has nothing to do with that. Mr. Furuma speculates that the guy suffers from a disease called RC cell deficiency. To put it simply, it makes the ghoul have no appetite for him."

Is there such a good thing?

Kaneki Ken was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Feeling lucky?"

"Yeah." Thinking of his current situation, he inevitably felt a little heavy.

Even he would unconsciously fantasize that if he also had this disease, would Miss Kamishiro not target him and have a different ending?

But it was too late to say anything now.

"But unfortunately, his parents were not so lucky."

"Huh?"

"When he first came to the store, he made a lot of noise, so the manager asked someone to investigate a little."

These are all necessary. Although the possibility that Lin Qiao is an investigator is very low, it is not zero after all.

"Ishimori Qiao, 22 years old, was a student at Kyoto University. His parents were successful businessmen who died in a ghoul attack two years ago. It was also from then on that he chose to drop out of school and locked himself at home. He hardly contacted anyone during this period."

"If it weren't for the battle between ghouls and investigators near his home last month, resulting in the destruction of his residence, that guy probably wouldn't have left the house until now."
