Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Uesugi Kenichi then played a second round, but was once again soundly defeated.

When the third game came, Uesugi Kenichi couldn't help but say, "Get that damn fat guy off the court. Aren't you tired of using the same guy all the time?"

"Okay, let's change it then." Erii stuck out her tongue and chuckled as she rearranged the order in which the characters appeared.

In the first game, she noticed that her brother's expression was particularly interesting when she beat him with Chang Koehan, so in the next two games, she picked Chang Koehan first before starting the blind pick.

Since Onii-chan has made the request, she's just changed the character; it doesn't really make a difference anyway.

This time, Erii chose Yamazaki Ryuji as her character, and Uesugi Kenichi quickly fell into a state of depression again. Different characters, same ending, he still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated in a three-on-one fight.

"Come on, Connor, why don't you play a round?" Uesugi Kenichi said to Connor in his arms, feeling annoyed. "Eri, let Connor play for a bit."

He just didn't believe it. Could he really be that bad?

Fortunately, after he used Iori to defeat Connor twice in a row, he realized that the problem wasn't with him, but with Erii.

Seeing that Connor was about to cry again, Uesugi Kenichi immediately picked her up.

"Come on, brother will take you to catch fish and go swimming. We won't play with them anymore."

"really?"

"real."

Upon hearing that they were going swimming, Mashiro and Keiko immediately dropped what they were holding and ran to their room to get their clothes.

After tidying up, Uesugi Kenichi led them to a stream near the back of the mountain.

The distance wasn't far; after walking for about 7 or 8 minutes, Uesugi Kenichi heard the sound of flowing water.

Once they emerged from the woods, a wide riverbank came into view, and a stream appeared before them.

The stream isn't deep; the deepest part is only a little over a meter, and that's in the more remote area. The area near the riverbank is only a few tens of centimeters deep.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Keiko exclaimed involuntarily as she squatted on a rock on the riverbank, staring at the water. She gently dipped her hand into the water, feeling a cool sensation from her fingertips.

"Ah, this feels so good~" Keiko couldn't help but squint her eyes. In this hot summer, this feeling was undoubtedly very comfortable.

Kenichi Uesugi stepped forward, tested the water temperature with his hand, and nodded. The water temperature was perfect for swimming, and although it wasn't the right water for him, he still gave a word of advice.

"Swimming is fine, but don't go too far in. If anything happens, call me immediately, understand?"

"Yes, Onii-chan!"

"Alright, go play." Uesugi Ken waved his hand, and the little ones immediately ran into the water.

Mashiro and Erii couldn't help but join in, and for a moment the entire riverbank could be filled with the girls' silvery cheers.

After watching for a while with a smile, Uesugi Kenichi went to a deeper spot and swam back and forth twice. Unfortunately, the water wasn't very deep, so he couldn't swim as freely as he wanted.

Chapter 224 Catching Fish

Although he was swimming, his eyes were always on Erii and the others. Even though the water wasn't deep, it was still better to be careful, otherwise if something unexpected happened, there would be nowhere to cry if he regretted it.

Therefore, we must be vigilant about things that can be prevented in advance, so as not to regret it later due to momentary carelessness.

Of course, we shouldn't be too adamant about not letting children go swimming because of these issues; the key is to take proper protective measures.

After swimming for a while, Uesugi Kenichi got up and went to the downstream area of ​​the river. He used stones to build a wall in the downstream area, and then built another wall not far upstream, creating an enclosed environment in an area that was about 8 meters long.

This is a relatively primitive method of catching fish, suitable for use in shallow rivers.

The river near their home remains pristine and almost unpolluted. Not only is the river crystal clear, but because it hasn't been fished much, there are plenty of fish in it.

Without much effort, Uesugi Kenichi caught two pufferfish that were about 20 centimeters long.

His actions caught the attention of Mashiro and the others.

"Wow, what a big fish!" Keiko exclaimed excitedly, looking at the fish in Uesugi Kenichi's hand.

"I want to catch fish too! Connor wants to catch fish too!" Connor also seemed very excited.

"Okay, Onii-chan will teach you, it's very simple."

Kenichi Uesugi put the fish in his hand into the wooden bucket, and then led Keiko and the others to catch fish. The method was very simple: just go from one end of this side to the other.

After Huizi and the others successfully caught fish, their expressions became even more excited, and their enthusiasm for catching fish soared.

After filling half a bucket with fish, Uesugi Kenichi quickly stopped them from continuing to wreak havoc.

He released some of the smaller fish, then pushed down the pile of stones and took them home.

Instead of going to his second uncle's house for dinner as Uesugi Nogo had suggested, he cooked a meal for them at home himself.

Fortunately, the food tasted pretty good, and Erii and the others enjoyed it.

It was obvious that Huizi and the others had completely adapted after staying here for a day. The countryside has a lot of places for children to play, making it very suitable for them.

They didn't need Uesugi Kenichi to do anything; they just went off and did their own thing.

He returned to his room and chatted with Akane Akasaka about the current development status of the game. The progress was going smoothly, and with no problems in terms of technology, funding, personnel, direction, and other aspects, there were almost no difficulties.

The game is expected to launch its beta version in early August.

He then spent his time in the room perfecting his Minecraft project, which was already about halfway done, but at the current pace, it probably wouldn't be ready to be released at the summer festival.

But that's alright. Blizzard Entertainment's reputation will only grow bigger over time, and with the gameplay and quality of Minecraft, there's no fear of it not becoming a hit.

The sound of a motorcycle didn't start until the early hours of the morning, and Uesugi Kenichi, who had been waiting, went out to greet it.

"Why are you up so late?" Uesugi Kenichi asked, puzzled.

“Hey, we bought too much stuff. Your mom and I discussed it and we think you make a lot of sense. There are indeed many places in our house that need to be redone, so we bought a lot of things.”

Uesugi Nogo's face showed some excitement. He had never spent money so much in his life. He had to admit that money was indeed a good thing; it could bring a sense of excitement and fearlessness to people's hearts.

In the past, Uesugi Nogo always lacked a certain confidence when entering shopping malls, but today, with a huge sum of 5000 million yen in his pocket, he stood up straight and had no fear whatsoever.

"Come on, help me move these down. I'll have the mall deliver the rest to me tomorrow."

Uesugi Nogo gave a signal and unloaded several large boxes from the back of the tricycle.

"What did you bring back?" Uesugi Ken asked as he carried the load.

"These are the air conditioner and TV, which I brought back first. The wardrobe and tatami mat will be delivered tomorrow."

"I'll contact them again in a couple of days to renovate our house so you can live in a better place."

"Yeah, it's good." Uesugi Kenichi replied with a smile, without asking how much it cost.

After quickly finishing everything, Uesugi Kenichi went back to his room to sleep. He had been waiting for Uesugi Nogo and the others to return.

The next morning, several trucks drove into the village, attracting a lot of onlookers.

· ·Requesting flowers· ········

Aside from the usual harvest season when someone would come to transport the agricultural products away, their village doesn't usually have so many cars coming in at other times.

The truck slowly came to a stop in front of the Uesugi family's house, and seven or eight men in work uniforms got out.

"Excuse me, is this the Uesugi residence?"

"Yes, yes." Uesugi Nogo, who was smoking in the yard, immediately went out when he heard the noise. When he saw the car parked at the gate, he knew that the things he had bought yesterday had arrived.

"Put all these things here first, and over here, slowly, don't let me bump into anything." Uesugi Nogo stood at the doorway, directing the movement of items into the house one by one.

Upon hearing the sound, Uesugi Kenichi also went out and stood next to Uesugi Nogo.

....... . ...

"Hey Nogo, what's going on in your family?"

At that moment, a group of people had gathered in front of the Uesugi family's house. One of them, an old man who looked to be about 60 years old, came up and asked.

"Second Uncle." Upon seeing the visitor, Uesugi Nogo greeted him respectfully, then said with a smug look, "Our good-for-nothing son of ours made a little money outside and insisted on buying some things for the family. I couldn't stop him."

Uesugi Nogo said with a proud expression.

Upon hearing this, many villagers began to discuss the matter as they watched the items being carried down.

"The Uesugi family has really produced a good son. It seems their family is going to prosper."

"I heard that Qianyi is really something now. My niece told me that a lot of people in Tokyo know him, and he's made tens of millions."

“It’s not just tens of millions, I heard my son has earned at least several hundred million.”

"No way, there are so many?"

"Why would I lie to you? This is already an understatement."

"It seems that Qianyi has really made something of himself."

"Hey, Aunt Liu, you're on good terms with Ye Wu's family, could you put in a good word for us? We have a niece who's really cute and well-behaved, could you help us set them up?"

"Hey, don't even think about it. Qianyi came back with his girlfriend this time. Look at that girl over there, is your niece prettier than her?"

The person being questioned looked in the direction Aunt Liu pointed, her gaze landing on Zhenbai. She opened her mouth slightly but couldn't speak, only able to sigh that her niece was unlucky.

Chapter 225 Propaganda Methods

Hearing this, the others who shared the same thoughts also felt somewhat discouraged. Uesugi Kenichi now seemed like a real gem, the embodiment of a golden bachelor.

However, some people still persisted, saying, "What's the big deal? There's no rule that says you can only marry one person. I don't think it's a big deal if Qianyi marries several. Don't you all agree?"

"It makes sense!"

"Makes sense my foot!" Uesugi Kenichi's lips twitched upon hearing this. He felt as if the villagers were looking at him as if they wanted to skin him alive.

"Second Uncle." Uesugi Kenichi greeted the old man, whom Uesugi Nogo called Second Uncle, with a smile. Upon seeing the man, he immediately recognized him as Uesugi Katsumura, the younger brother of the original owner's grandfather, who was also his second uncle.

The Uesugi family has lived in this village, "July 13," for generations, and they have many relatives and friends here.

His father's generation had five siblings, and Uesugi Nogo was the third oldest. However, he now lives alone in the village, while the others live in the town.

"You've made something of yourself. Come to my house for dinner tonight." Uesugi Katsumura patted Uesugi Kenichi on the shoulder with a smile. "Keep up the good work. I'll cheer you on."

"I'll do my best," Uesugi Kenichi replied.

After all the belongings were moved out, the villagers left, no longer having seen the spectacle. However, their eyes clearly showed envy, as the Uesugi family did indeed seem to have struck it rich.

After lunch, amidst a commotion, Village Chief Takeda led five or six people into the Uesugi residence.

"Uesugi-kun, we've been waiting for you for so long!"

Upon entering, one of the men, a middle-aged man in his forties with a broad smile, extended his hand to Uesugi Kenichi.

"Hello, Mayor Yoshida." Uesugi Kenji bowed and shook Mayor Yoshida's hand.
