Chapter 299 I like you, can you be my girlfriend?
"Cough cough!"

After Li Luo spread out the homemade Monopoly map on the coffee table, Xu Youyu cleared his throat and stood in front of the coffee table and announced, "Now, let me introduce the rules of the game."

Ying Chanxi and the others looked at the map curiously, their expressions somewhat strange. Xu Yinghuan was so interested that he couldn't help laughing.

Xu Youyu continued, "The rules of the game are very simple. You spend credits to occupy a territory. Once you occupy a territory, other people passing by must pay credits."

"Those whose credits are deducted will be expelled from the Affiliated High School No. 1."

"And in the end, whoever has the most credits will become the real top student of Affiliated No. 1 Middle School! And the final winner of this game!"

Li Luo couldn't help but curl his lips as he listened to Xu Youyu's impressive introduction. He then pointed to a place on the map and couldn't help but complain, "Can the men's restroom be bought with credits?"

"Sure." Xu Youyu nodded as a matter of course, and pointed to another icon opposite the men's restroom, "If someone owns both the men's restroom and this women's restroom, the toll will be doubled."

Everyone: "..."

The living room was quiet for a moment.

There was a lump of food stuck in the throat, and no one knew whether to spit it out or swallow it for the birthday boy's sake.

"So what does this test mean?" Li Luo pointed at the corner which was usually set as a prison in Monopoly games and asked.

"It's just about taking the exam." Xu Youyu waved his hand and said, "You are forced to stay for two rounds and take the school exam. You will be awarded corresponding credits based on your exam results."

Li Luo was confused: "...What do you mean by based on the test results? Do I have to do another set of test papers for both rounds?!"

"Of course not." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Just go by our midterm exam results."

"The first place in the grade will be awarded 50 credits, the top ten will be awarded 40 credits, the top 50 will be awarded 30 credits, the top 20 will be awarded 10 credits, and the top will be awarded credits..."

"Um...what about after the top 300?" Xu Yinghuan, who was standing by, felt increasingly disheartened the more she listened, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"You're already ranked above 300, what more do you want?" Xu Youyu said righteously with a serious face, "There are no credits for those ranked above 300, and it's good enough if you don't get criticized by your parents."

Xu Yinghuan: “…”

Bullying! This is definitely bullying!

At least it can be considered discrimination!
"Then are there other ways to earn credits?" Xu Yinghuan gritted her teeth, not daring to disobey the birthday boy's rules, so she had to continue asking.

"Of course there are, there are a lot." Xu Youyu pointed to the starting point of the map, "This is the school gate. Every time you pass through the school gate, you can get 20 credits."

"Look here, this is the morning self-study session. If you stay here voluntarily and finish the morning self-study session, you can get 10 credits."

"Then here, lunch break, mandatory stay, you can get 5 credits after leaving."

“In addition to using credits to buy land and collect tolls, these places can also earn credits.”

"As for the others... there are these two."

Xu Youyu took out two decks of cards from the box and placed them on the boxes that should have belonged to [Chance] and [Destiny] on the original map.

The back of the card shows [Event] and [Accident].

Xu Youyu took out a card from the "Event" and showed it to everyone: "You actively spoke in math class and answered a very difficult question from the teacher. I will award you 10 credits."

Li Luo glanced at the card in her hand, and out of curiosity, he took a card from the [Accident] pile, looked down, and his face suddenly turned black.

Yan Zhusheng, who was standing next to him, came over curiously and read seriously, "You were blocked in the men's restroom and beaten up, so you lose 10 credits. If the men's restroom is already occupied, the 10 credits will be given to the owner of the men's restroom. Note: if the owner also owns the women's restroom, the loss will be doubled."

When Qiao Xinyan heard the remarks at the end, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Senior sister...you are...really quite rigorous."

"Where is it rigorous?" Li Luo couldn't help but complain, "I was blocked in the men's restroom by someone. Isn't that the other person's fault? This person should be the one to have his credits deducted."

"How do you know the other party didn't dunk?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes. "When reporting to the school, just classify it as a fight and give each of them fifty lashes."

"Then why does this thing double just because there's a women's restroom? It's not like I'm stuck in the women's restroom."

"Is it okay if you guys scared the students in the girls' room when you were fighting?" Xu Youyu waved his hand impatiently, "Don't ask so many questions, start playing, and ask other questions while we play!"

"alright."

After the map was spread out, [Events] and [Accidents] were placed, and the pieces of paper representing each territory were also placed one by one.

Zhao Rongjun watched Xu Youyu begin to distribute credits with great interest, and then glanced at the five girls present except Li Luo. He subconsciously sensed some kind of danger and could not help but ask in a low voice:
"Senior, can I be a banker? I can just give you some credits."

"How can that be possible?" Xu Youyu frowned and said, "You are an important player. Without you, this game will not be fun."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rongjun's eyes suddenly jumped and his heart subconsciously contracted, feeling even more uneasy.

But when Li Luo heard what Xu Youyu said, he immediately hugged Zhao Rongjun and stopped him from escaping: "Now that we are here, you still want to back down?"

"Today is Senior Sister's birthday. Look at this map and these cards. They are all her hard work!"

"Are you too embarrassed not to play?"

Zhao Rongjun was held by his neck and couldn't breathe, so he had to reluctantly agree: "I'll play, I'll play, you let go."

"That's right!" Li Luo patted Zhao Rongjun on the shoulder, "Let's work together, brothers, and strive to become the ultimate academic master!"

Zhao Rongjun pulled the corner of his mouth and muttered softly: "I feel that the winner in the end is not like a top student, but more like a school bully..."

Others don't care about this.

Although Xu Youyu's version of Monopoly for the Affiliated High School was a bit abstract, after hearing the basic rules of the game, Xu Yinghuan and others were eager to try it out and found it quite interesting.

In the past, the territories of Monopoly players were all in Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, etc. It sounded impressive, but it was not down-to-earth enough.

Now there was a version of Monopoly from the Affiliated High School No. 1, and Qiao Xinyan and the others found it quite interesting, and they all helped Xu Youyu to distribute credits.

After the initial 500 credits were distributed to each person, Xu Youyu coughed twice, then took out a 100-credit note from the credit management department designated as the Academic Affairs Office and stuffed it into his own hand: "The birthday boy has 100 more credits, you should have no objection, right?"

Li Luo looked at her little movements and laughed, "Senior, you really do whatever it takes to win."

"Don't talk so much." Xu Youyu snorted, then took out seven thumb-sized objects that looked like coins from the box, with everyone's headshots pasted on them. "One for each person, don't take the wrong one."

"Where did you get this photo?" Li Luo saw that the chess piece representing him had an ugly photo of himself laughing. His face suddenly darkened. "Can't you take a better-looking photo?"

"These are all photos taken when we were playing before. I just screenshoted them." Xu Youyu waved his hand and then placed his chess piece with her beautiful photo on it at the school gate on the map.

Li Luo looked at other people's chess pieces again. Ying Chanxi blushed and quickly covered her own chess piece to prevent others from looking, but it was finally seen by Li Luo.

"Haha~ Xixi, when did you take this photo? Why are you smiling like this?" Qiao Xinyan had already seen the photo of Ying Chanxi, which showed Ying Chanxi with cream smeared on his face. It made her laugh out loud.

"Senior sister!" Ying Chanxi complained to Xu Youyu with a red face, "You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"How could that be?" Xu Youyu said calmly, "I just took them randomly. You'll get used to it once you get used to it."

Li Luo looked at the others' situations again, and they were basically not much better, so he felt a little more balanced.

"Okay, let's get started." Xu Youyu asked everyone to put the chess pieces at the school gate, then he picked up the dice and said with a smile, "Start with the birthday boy, and go clockwise. Is that ok?"

Of course, we have to listen to the birthday boy for such a small matter.

Xu Youyu rolled the dice, got a 3 and a 5, and took 8 steps.

Picking up the chess piece and counting 8 steps forward, Xu Youyu placed the chess piece at the [Pavilion in the Grove].

"I bought it!" Xu Youyu took out the 30 credits in his hand, waved his hand, and bought the [Pavilion in the Grove].

Li Luo took a look and pointed to the Grade 18 classroom in front of the pavilion in the grove: "Why is our classroom cheaper than the pavilion? The credits of their classes 1 and 3 are quite high."

"It's just a parallel class, don't be so arrogant." Xu Youyu waved his hand and said, "Class 35 is a key class after all, so 40 points are required. Class is full of top students, so points is considered low."

"Then why does your Class 50 need credits?" Li Luo asked with narrowed eyes.

"It's okay if the birthday boy's class is a little more expensive?" Xu Youyu snorted, "You talk too much. Xinyan, it's your turn."

"Oh." Qiao Xinyan took the dice and rolled 11 points. She happened to come to the [Class 40, Grade ] and immediately took out credits happily and got it.

"Eh?" Ying Chanxi saw that his class's classroom was taken away by Qiao Xinyan, and immediately pouted, "I also want a classroom."

"Xixi, you can go buy the classroom for Class 8." Qiao Xinyan encouraged with a smile.

"That's right." Ying Chanxi's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested again.

Li Luo on the side said immediately: "That's too much. You want to grab a classroom too? Go grab Class 3. Class 3 is more expensive."

"Don't yell." Zhao Rongjun's face darkened. "I'm still waiting to buy the third shift."

As he said this, Ying Chanxi had already rolled the dice, which spun around and ended up showing a 5.

Ying Chanxi took the chess piece and took five steps, then his cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Haha~" Xu Youyu laughed out loud when he saw this scene, "Xixi, you went into the men's room~"

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Ying Chanxi's face turned even redder, but she still took out 50 credits and whispered, "I bought it."

"Damn! You bought the men's restroom too?" Li Luo shouted, "Do I have to pay you for going to the restroom in the future?"

"That's perfect." Xu Youyu suddenly clapped his hands, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Whenever you need to go to the restroom, the boys will pay 1 credit to the owner of the men's restroom, and the girls will pay 1 credit to the owner of the women's restroom. How about that?"

"What if the same person takes over both toilets?" Li Luo twitched his lips and said, "Everyone has to pay a 2-credit fee before using the toilet, right?"

Xu Youyu snapped his fingers, nodded with satisfaction and said, "This young man is teachable."

One or two credits was not a big deal, and everyone found it interesting, so they all nodded in agreement.

After Ying Chanxi bought the men's restroom, it was Li Luo's turn to roll the dice.

He picked up the dice, concentrated his energy, pointed to the location of Class 8's classroom with one hand, held the dice with the other hand, and muttered to himself: "Seven, seven, seven, seven..."

Two dice flew onto the coffee table, rolled over, and then stopped at two 6s.

"Oh my." Li Luo raised his eyebrows, picked up the chess piece and counted the squares, and asked, "Can we have two sixes again?"

"Are you playing flying chess?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "The rooftop of the teaching building, 45 credits, do you want to buy it?"

"Okay, okay, the rooftop, right?" Li Luo nodded, took out 45 credits, and said with a smile, "From now on, if your stock market crashes and you want to jump off the building, you have to pay me a toll first."

"You talk too much." Xu Youyu picked up the dice and handed it to Yan Zhusheng, "Zhusheng, it's your turn."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng took the dice, threw it casually, and threw out a 7. He successfully came to the [Class 25 of Grade ], so he took out credits and bought it.

"Sure, Zhusheng." Li Luo patted Yan Zhusheng on the shoulder, "You've protected our classroom!"

Ying Chanxi glanced at Li Luo's hand and snorted silently.

After Yan Zhusheng, it was Xu Yinghuan's turn. When Yan Zhusheng took out the credits, Xu Yinghuan couldn't wait to pick up the dice on the coffee table and threw it. Then the chess piece landed on 5 points, and followed Ying Chanxi's butt into the men's bathroom.

"Ah!" Xu Yinghuan screamed.

Xu Youyu burst out laughing and immediately said, "Xixi, how many credits are you worth for passing through the men's restroom once?"

"Let me see." Ying Chanxi picked up the card from the men's room and took a look at it. "Five credits per session."

"Ouch..." Xu Yinghuan miserably took out 5 credits and handed them in obediently, "I'm so unlucky... Can't girls not go to the men's bathroom?"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Luo shook his finger. "When there are too many tourists in some scenic spots, many girls will rush into the men's restroom to grab a squat toilet."

"Squad leader, you talk too much." Xu Yinghuan pouted and complained angrily.

After Xu Yinghuan paid the toll, it was finally Zhao Rongjun's turn.

He silently picked up the dice on the coffee table and threw it lightly, and two 2s came out, a total of 4 steps.

After picking up the chess piece and counting four squares, Zhao Rongjun's chess piece landed on [Event].

"OK, draw an event and see." Xu Youyu urged.

Zhao Rongjun quickly reached out and took out a card from the [Event] deck.

Xu Yinghuan, who was standing next to him, came up to Zhao Rongjun and read to him in a serious tone, "When the bell rings, you will immediately return to your classroom and prepare for class. If you perform well in class, you will be awarded 5 credits. Note: If you pass by the school gate, you will receive 20 credits for passing by."

"Wow, you're lucky." Xu Youyu helped Zhao Rongjun put the chess piece on the grid of [Class 5, Grade ], took credits and handed them to Zhao Rongjun, then asked, "No one has bought a copy of your classroom yet, do you want to buy one?"

"Buy it!" Zhao Rongjun nodded quickly and vigorously.

After successfully buying his own classroom, Zhao Rongjun felt much better.

After looking at the situation in the first round, he suddenly felt that this game was not so dangerous.

After he bought the classroom, it was the turn of today's birthday boy Xu Youyu.

She simply threw out an 11 point, came to the [Literature Society Activity Room], waved her hand, and another 70 branches were drawn out, winning it directly.

Qiao Xinyan unexpectedly threw two 1 points and came to [Accident].

When Qiao Xinyan saw that she had walked onto the "Accident" grid, her heart skipped a beat.

She still remembered how Li Luo was blocked and beaten in the men's restroom.

It would be too embarrassing if I were stuck in the men's restroom.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand tremblingly under Xu Youyu's expectant gaze and drew a card from the [Accident] pile.

Ying Chanxi came over curiously and read carefully for her: "Since you entered school, your eyes have been deeply attracted by a figure. Finally, one day, you couldn't hold back your emotions, secretly found the other person, and bravely said that I like you."

"Please choose a person of the opposite sex present and confess your love to him/her. If the other party agrees, you two will temporarily become a couple in this game and can borrow credits from each other."

"If the other party refuses, you will be sad and ashamed, stay where you are, and fail the exam, losing 5 credits."

After reading the contents on the card, Qiao Xinyan's face suddenly blushed.

Ying Chanxi also looked surprised.

Li Luo and others all showed shocked expressions.

Only Xu Youyu laughed out loud, and stood up excitedly with his hands on his hips, with a smug expression on his face: "Yes! That's it! Xinyan! It's just a game, come and choose! Li Luo or Zhao Rongjun?"

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Qiao Xinyan suddenly felt even more embarrassed, but after all, it was just a game, so she didn't mind it very much. She glanced at Li Luo and immediately felt the hidden murderous intent of Ying Chanxi beside her.

So Qiao Xinyan immediately turned her eyes to Zhao Rongjun who was sitting opposite her, and said to him a little embarrassedly: "Um...um...Zhao Rongjun, is it okay?"

Zhao Rongjun was completely confused for a moment, and finally he realized what the senior student meant when she said "The game will not be fun without you" before they started playing.

So there's actually a couple system in Monopoly? !
If Zhao Rongjun was not there, Li Luo would be the only one left in the whole game, and of course they wouldn't be able to have fun.

However, facing Qiao Xinyan's "confession", Zhao Rongjun's face suddenly turned red, and he looked even more embarrassed than Qiao Xinyan. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Seeing Zhao Rongjun's reaction, Qiao Xinyan covered her mouth and laughed, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, it's just a game. After you agree, we can borrow credits from each other, which feels good. Anyway, I don't want to stay where I am again."

Since the girl has said so, it would be very disrespectful for Zhao Rongjun to refuse again.

So Zhao Rongjun didn't say a word, but just nodded silently, which was considered as agreeing to this "confession".

"Okay!" Xu Youyu was not afraid of the trouble. He took out two love medals from the box and handed them to Qiao Xinyan and Zhao Rongjun. "Take them, both of you. They are blue, which means you are a couple now."

Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu's various moves and couldn't help but twitch his eyes: "How many weird things have you stuffed into this game?"

"What's so strange about this?" Xu Youyu said confidently, "In high school, there must be people who secretly fall in love early. Don't be so short-sighted."

"That's right." Ying Chanxi, who had just received the dice, nodded vigorously and agreed, "In fact, there are people in our class who are secretly in love. Xinyan also knows about it, right?"

"Yeah." Qiao Xinyan nodded, "But you can't tell me. It's not good if this kind of thing gets out."

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi stopped talking immediately, then stared at the [Accident] on the map and counted them carefully.

I am 8 steps away from her now...

Taking a deep breath, Ying Chanxi skillfully threw the two dice in her hand. Watching the dice flipping on the coffee table, she prayed silently in her heart.

Maybe the dice god really is blessing her.

After the two dice stopped, one was 2 and the other was 6, which actually was 8 steps.

Seeing this scene, Ying Chanxi almost jumped for joy, but she immediately suppressed her emotions, pretended to be calm, and placed her chess piece directly on the [Accident] square.

"Huh?" Li Luo was puzzled. "You calculate so fast? Don't you even need to count the squares?"

"Well... why do you care so much?" Ying Chanxi blushed a little guilty, then felt a little expectant, and began to pray silently in his heart, then drew a card from the [Accident] deck.

Li Luo curiously leaned over and glanced at the content. He was immediately amused and immediately read for her: "Special card for snitching."

"When you find that a classmate is secretly dating at school, you can use this card to report the classmate's premature love to the school teacher."

"If they do so, the couple will be forced to end their relationship due to the teacher's accountability, break up directly, and lose 20 credits."

"This card is of the selective release type. You can keep it for a long time, but it can only be used during your turn."

After reading it, Li Luo suddenly had an inexplicable expression. He glanced at Qiao Xinyan and Zhao Rongjun with a smile, and immediately encouraged them to use it, "Use it, just use it, and you will lose 20 credits!"

"Hey!" Qiao Xinyan was immediately dissatisfied when she heard what Li Luo said, "We just started dating, and you want to report us? You are so heartless! You will deduct 20 credits!"

Zhao Rongjun on the opposite side glanced at Qiao Xinyan who was trying hard to resist, pursed his lips, and dared not say anything.

Qiao Xinyan hugged Ying Chanxi's arm, and seeing that she was eager to try, she quickly leaned over and whispered a few words into her ear.

After Ying Chanxi heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu, and then silently put away the card: "I choose to keep it and use it later."

"Xixi, you are so confused." Li Luo failed to watch the show and slapped his thigh, feeling very regretful.

But Ying Chanxi just snorted: "Don't talk too much, it's your turn."

"All right." Li Luo smacked his lips, picked up the dice on the coffee table and threw it out casually.

The result was exactly the same as Qiao Xinyan's just now, also two 1 points.

So Li Luo picked up his chess piece, started from the rooftop of the teaching building, moved forward two steps, and stopped at...

"Uh..." Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "Girls' dormitory?"

"It seems like you have a natural talent for raping people." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "You were able to get this into the girls' dormitory."

"Ying Chanxi can go into the men's restroom, so what if I go into the girls' dormitory?" Li Luo said confidently, "It's only 50 credits, I bought it!"

"A friendly reminder." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "If you can take over the boys' dormitory later, you can charge twice the toll, the same as the men's and women's restrooms."

"You are really amazing..." Li Luo curled his lips and stuffed the dice into Yan Zhusheng's hand.

When it was Yan Zhusheng's turn, she threw the ball casually and got a 6.

Picking up the chess piece and counting 6 steps forward, Yan Zhusheng was slightly surprised. He placed the chess piece next to Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan, and also came to the [Accident] grid.

"Oh." Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Zhu Sheng, you draw one."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded and obediently drew a card from the [Accident] pile.

Xu Yinghuan next to her couldn't wait to come over, took a look at the contents of her card, and immediately read out excitedly:
"Because of your outstanding appearance and figure, you have won the favor of countless opposite sexes as soon as school started."

"And one day, a person of the opposite sex couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to express his feelings to you."

"Please select a member of the opposite sex on the field, designate the other person to confess to you, and then you can choose whether to agree or not."

"If you agree to confess your feelings, you two will become a couple and can borrow credits from each other."

"If you refuse to confess, the other party will be heartbroken because of the failure of the confession, stay where you are once, and lose 5 credits due to failing the exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhusheng looked straight at Li Luo who was sitting next to him, and his meaning was very clear.

"Li Luo." Yan Zhusheng handed the card in his hand to Li Luo, "It says that you have to confess your love to me."

"I didn't say I had to say it." Li Luo muttered softly, "Why don't you just choose to agree or refuse?"

"Hey, it would be nice to have a little more immersion," Xu Youyu urged from the side, "Hurry up, it's a good opportunity to set an example for Zhao Rongjun so that he won't be too relaxed later."

"Yes, yes." Xu Yinghuan also cheered on the side, "It's a game, having fun is the most important thing, the rest doesn't matter, it's not real."

Being held up like this, Li Luo was helpless. He turned sideways to look at Yan Zhusheng and said, "I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"

As soon as these words came out.

Ying Chanxi on the other side immediately clenched the cards in his hand, but was secretly glad that he had listened to Xinyan's words just now.

But the cards in your hand can only be used when it is your turn.

So Ying Chanxi could only watch Yan Zhusheng nod happily and agree to Li Luo's confession.

Xu Youyu took out two red heart medals as a symbol of Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng becoming a couple.

Seeing this scene, Ying Chanxi almost bit his lips.
