Chapter 228: Otaku
"Miss Melina, have you really never touched baseball before?"
"Nope."
Melina's country of birth in her previous life was nothing to do with baseball, she didn't even understand the basic principles of baseball, she only knew that 'there was a person swinging a bat', 'there was a person pitching', 'people on both sides of the field were running around', and that's it.
And in this life, after coming to the other world, she devoted herself to the occult and magic, as well as the complex theory of magic factors. If you have the opportunity to use fireball, will you still want to play baseball? So it's normal to not understand at all.
The leprechaun photographer could see that she wasn't lying:
"That's a generation of geniuses... Interested in joining our team? Although you can't enter the Banshee Non-Rank Tournament, you are also a member of the league, and the appearance fee has reached more than 600 gold lei per game, right? ”
Melina removed her makeup while shaking her head:
"Nope."
She really doesn't like baseball.
The goblin is quite a pity, but he no longer advises:
"Forget it."
She turned to a selection of pictures on Twitter:
"You are a natural good seedling, you look at this shot, few people can make the expression of disgust so charming, oh ho, this composition, absolutely..."
Melina is not good at dealing with self-acquaintances, so she can only pull the corners of her mouth:
"Your credit, I mean, is the credit of the photographer for taking pictures that look good."
"It's different." The fairy girl crossed her hands and retorted, "Photographers must always introspect, we are the best flashes in life, 10% skill, 50% patience, 100% flashes of inspiration." You are my inspiration. ”
Is this the case for all those who engage in art?
Melina thought to herself, 'There's a mouth that can say sweet things that make people embarrassed.'
The photos are really good-looking, and they are very qualified for advertising posters.
However, it still depends on the sales volume and whether anyone buys it.
Melina wasn't so sure.
They are a 'protective measure', and because they are not active by nature, Frank believes that they should reduce their contact with the outside world as much as possible in order to protect their minds from the first stage of popularity. Banshees are a very inflated race, and the least important breed of them will not be able to refuse to be in the newspapers.
In the words of modern people, they have an unimaginable attachment to the matter of 'hot search', they love to bear pressure, and they love to gain fame and fame.
This is also the reason why it is clear that the banshee is a 'very suitable race for hidden cultivation', but it is almost impossible to see the banshee hidden cultivation.
Even if it is a long sleep, before the long sleep, they will all kinds of hints, 'I will return one day'.
Unlike the emperors who talk about it, the banshee really will wake up one day, and the first thing she will do when she wakes up is to clean up the bathroom she has arranged, and then contact the banshee's enduring newspaper El Monde to prepare interviews and press conferences to announce her return.
It's true.
They can't live without fame.
In the same way, in order to prevent them from doing anything that makes people laugh and cry for fame and fortune, an experienced producer like Frank will give them enough space and means of isolation.
For example, Melina, even though she secretly asked Sonia several times, Sonia did not reveal 'who has the most fans in our group'.
The only one who knows the truth is Sonia.
Because Frank said, 'If you're surrounded by monsters of this level, and you can't recognize your words, no one can save you.'" This is a wise saying, and the pressure of staying with all-rounders like Melina and Elizabeth is very terrible, because your strong point may become their strong point after the other party takes it a little seriously.
But the pressure has also brought enough progress.
Sonia is the hardest working person in the group, and even Maria, her rival in the Explorer Realm, is getting stronger in the constant competition. It can be said that everyone has a bright future.
…
…
Outside the secret garden, Kara rents Katerina's car to pick her up.
A good-looking armored tortoise car with an embedded driver's seat.
Embedded in the driver's seat is an important symbol of Caterina's products, and her models are basically protected in the driving position, which makes many ladyboys complain that they can't get out of the first place when they encounter a battle. But sales and imitators are slowly increasing, and even sales have begun to be limited by her production capacity.
The reason is simple.
"This built-in cockpit really makes people feel safe." Carla gave a blank look of praise when Melina asked her how she could borrow a car from Katarina.
There is not much space in the car, but it has been changed to two rows of reclining seats, and there is a fixed frame in the middle, which can be used to put tea and so on.
Already looks very modern, this car.
Melina took a sip of tea:
"Then how did you get out? Aren't you a homemaster? ”
The so-called home school is the type of learning that lies at home and mixes the explorer level. Through ultra-long-distance ultra-precision individual undead units, go to complete the task of the gatherer, and bring the goods home, and then through the formed undead army, these goods are transported to the designated place one by one.
Lying at home to make money, this is the charm of a home-stayer.
Kara shouldn't have been here, but here she is.
Carla is familiar with the car, perfectly reversing and shaking the head to adjust the front position, then pressing the accelerator.
"Because of you."
"Me?" Melina pointed to herself, "I have such a big charm?" ”
"It's bigger than you think." Carla was like a pun.
"Honestly?"
Kara had a hurt look on her face, but then immediately returned to her normal state:
"Frank asked, he did, he thought I better get out and walk more."
"I think so too." Melina lay on the chaise longue and squinted her eyes comfortably, "You stay in the office day by day, you have too much to do. ”
"But I had a good and comfortable time."
"Pleasant and comfortable?"
Melina sat up, swished over, and whispered to Kara's ear:
"Then how did you come out?"
“…”
"A person who feels happy and comfortable walks out of his comfort zone, definitely not for others, but for himself, for a greater future, isn't it?"
Kara couldn't help but turn her head sideways to see the fairy girl looking at her with a teasing smile.
Her skin had the hue of melting snow.
Generally speaking.
Melina's complexion shouldn't be so 'moist', her complexion is almost unnatural, almost glowing indoors, and people even wonder if she is a light source after turning off the lights. This type of girl with a white brush should have been a dry white. But Melina is like a melting snowman, as if she can draw a shallow water mark with a touch of her hand.
No wonder advertisers are looking for her to shoot posters.
Kara withdrew her gaze from her rude gaze, restraining the excess emotions in her heart, and then saw Melina as an obstacle in her path to homeschooling.
Her expression was cold:
"Yes. I also have to adapt to life outside and get used to the world. ”
"You're coming out?"
“…”
Kara smiled lightly:
"No, it's brought in."
…
…
Melina knew that all but a few of the off-duty girls were self-respecting guys. However, Carla's exposure shocked her, and she thought that she would not let someone like Cara be exposed until the off-duty girl could appear as a warm-up in cities like Innsmouth and Haven.
After returning to Banshee Street by car, Melina is invited to Kara's house.
Carla's plot was bought from the second phase of the student, and it is not cheap for a greenhouse plot.
The greenhouse plot is a high-value terrain that is both a plot and a banshee facility, simply put, on this hexagonal plot, there are two to three [greenhouses], and the greenhouse is reduced to the size of a standard plot, and the actual area is thousands of square meters or even more. If the banshee has enough space in the building, she can build her own factory, her own livestock farm...
It is expensive, and the use, and more importantly, the sustainable outflow of funds required for the development of such plots is also very scary.
But after it is formed, it is a super workshop and resource source that you can carry with you.
It can be seen that Carla is still a little unhappy about leaving Innsmouth...
Melina pretended not to know and exclaimed:
"Your plot isn't cheap."
"It took a lot of accumulation to buy it, and the second-year students of the academy on your side brought a lot of good things."
Good stuff?
It's good stuff.
Melina has seen some high-end apartments in Wangdu, which are basically composed of this kind of greenhouse plots, with 5 plots of nearly 400 square meters of living space, and then 5 greenhouses, each of which is a few thousand square meters smaller. The royal capitals of the seven kingdoms all have such luxurious apartments, and among the people Melina knows, Tasia should have a more luxurious residence, but the plot she carries is luxurious enough.
However, the most valuable thing that the second generation brings is their network of banshees and explorers.
On the Weeping Peninsula, the poor explorers can finally buy all sorts of curiosities.
Charlie, the gatherer that Melina knew, was also equipped with two strange things to defend himself.
The prosperity of the market has always been a good thing.
Of course, if you want to buy something from the second phase of students, connections are also very important.
For banshees, there are few things that they don't use.
Because of their unique plot culture, they are not willing to refuse all materials, such as the greenhouse plot that Kara has in hand, and the banshee who sold it to her will definitely be able to use it.
That's the importance of networking.
Probably the envy in Melina's eyes was too obvious.
Carla asked:
"Do you want a greenhouse plot too?"
"Huh? There's no one who doesn't want it, right? ”
Carla paused:
"So, there's a chance to get it, would you like it?"
