I became the King of Ryukyu

"Is the Isshin Dojo fallen into such a state?" The girl frowned slightly, withdrew her fist, and controlled the force and distance perfectly.

This move seems to be called "Inch Stop"?

In high school, Zheng Yi once heard a junior from the judo club who confessed her feelings to him say that she was very good at it.

Opposite the blue transparent panel, Honbu Mioko's face was almost perfect. Her originally interested expression gradually turned lazy, like a cat that had found an interesting toy, but then realized with disappointment that it was just the shadow of a bird.

Her cherry-colored lips looked soft, but her disdain was even more evident.

She didn't answer the question, but picked up a document and said, "The water tank is cleaned every Tuesday and Friday. Judging from your previous appearance, you must be quite good at swimming."

"But there are sharks in the tank!"

Zheng Yi had been keeping an eye on it; a shark at least two meters long was constantly appearing and disappearing in the water tanks surrounding the hall.

However, since the students from the main campus swam in it so easily before, it probably wasn't a dangerous species.

But after glancing at the shark's sharp teeth, Zheng Yi lost his confidence again.

This million yen doesn't seem so easy to earn?

"If you have any doubts, you can leave immediately. You are an adult and should know the rules of how capitalist society works."

Without even looking up, Mioko glanced at the watch on her pale wrist and said coldly, "If you need money, then sign here. The beneficiaries of the insurance policy will be your parents by default, but you can change that if you wish."

……

"See you tomorrow, Headquarters students."

Zheng Yi eventually signed the contract. If he didn't even dare to touch a shark, how could he possibly protect the foreign lands for the Celestial Empire?

Onion Orange!

Okay, to put it simply, there's only one disease in this world, and that's poverty.

Even the most talented man on Kumejima Island now has to submit to money.

While Mioko was still operating the tablet, Zheng Yi wanted to ask if she had deleted his embarrassing video, but then felt it was unnecessary.

Seeing that she didn't look up, Zheng Yi gently closed the door and left the so-called club activity room.

However, as he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, so he opened the game interface and headed towards the girl.

[Should I use 40 action points to recruit Mioko from the Talent Headquarters?]

[Success rate 0%]

Good guy!

It's a whopping 0%.

Zheng Yi is not yet clear on the detailed formula for the success rate of recruiting talents, but based on his limited experience in video games, there are no more than four major influencing factors.

1. A monarch's personal abilities are most likely related to charm. In this respect, my own stat of 88, while far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty's succubus, is still sufficient.

2. The capabilities of the candidates. Mediocre people are easy to recruit, while talented people are more unruly. This is the most common situation, but it does not exclude those who are ambitious but lack ability and have no clear understanding of themselves.

3. Does the person you wish to recruit have a loyal ally? If so, is their loyalty sufficient? Recruiting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei is naturally much more difficult than recruiting Lü Bu under Ding Yuan.

4. Whether the monarch and the talented individuals are compatible.

Zheng Yi speculated that his success rate in recruiting Miyagi Yuichi was 45%, which was likely related to their compatibility.

The student in front of me, Mioko from the main campus, is probably the type whose fate is incompatible with mine and who will never be able to achieve anything.

……

"Shuri Kinjocho Station has arrived. Please get off. Next stop: Shuri Hogicho Station."

On the bus.

Zheng Yi realized from his recent experience that while Okinawa Prefecture has relatively few surveillance cameras, they are not entirely absent.

Anyway, if he goes to the police station to report the theft, there will definitely be no surveillance footage. But for a law-abiding citizen like him, he might be under real-time surveillance at any time.

Therefore, it's best not to conjure up bicycles out of thin air in public places before you obtain shielding items.

A man destined for success cannot be defeated by the devil of details.

So he chose to take public transportation.

Due to geological reasons, there is only one light rail line running for 17 kilometers in the entire Okinawa Prefecture, and there is no subway.

However, as the capital city, Naha has very convenient sightseeing buses.

Zheng Yi followed the crowd out of the bus, carrying a free sightseeing guide that came with the bus.

There were too many passengers and the weather was hot and humid, so he used the tourist guide as a fan.

"The area of ​​Naha City is where the old Ryukyu royal city was located."

……

In 1879, the central government abolished the feudal domains and established prefectures, officially ending the four-hundred-year rule of the Second Sho Dynasty of Ryukyu.

……

The head of the palace changed his surname to that of a royal descendant.

... "

After tossing the tourist guide into the trash can, Zheng Yi looked at a ramen shop. On this hot afternoon, the ramen shop was packed with customers.

The cool air from the air conditioner mingled with the steam from the ramen, creating a thick fog.

Further down the street, at the corner, is a popular dessert shop called "Okashi Goten". The sign on the door introduces popular local snacks such as sweet potato tarts, brown sugar shortbread, and golden rice cakes.

There was also a complimentary gift given to customers upon entering the store on the table.

Looking up, you see young people taking photos everywhere. Even Mixue Ice Cream, which only opened last year, has long queues in front of it.

Having abandoned his plan to splurge, Zheng Yi quickened his pace, intending to return to his rented room and cook a bowl of instant noodles.

As for Yuki's izakaya...

Let's wait until it has 1/100th of the customer traffic of Lord Snow King before making a decision.

Just as Zheng Yi was thinking this rather rudely, an excited voice came from beside him: "Boss!"

"Tetsuya!"

Zheng Yi turned his head, and I, like Gu Cheye, a big guy weighing at least 180 pounds, appeared on the other side of the street.

He truly has the bearing of a great general!

If he weren't wearing the school uniform of Shuri First Elementary School, and didn't have that large-caliber shotgun model he'd bought from who-knows-where hanging from his waist, he would have looked even more like a general.

The two met up, and Zheng Yi skillfully took the SOYSOY tofu ice cream from his hand, and solemnly warned, "As patriots who are dedicated to restoring Ryukyu, you must not indulge in the desires of your stomach."

As he spoke, he stuffed the tofu ice cream into his mouth.

Light and not greasy, it perfectly matches the East Asian definition of dessert.

"loyalty!"

Tetsuya, the chubby boy, gave a Young Pioneers salute, then rummaged through his schoolbag and pulled out seven or eight kinds of snacks, including potato chips, soufflé pancakes, and fried food, handing them all over. "This is our 'Make Ryukyu Great Again' team's budget! Loyalty!"

"On behalf of the people of Ryukyu, I thank you!" Zheng Yi bought a plastic bag from the convenience store next door, packed all the snacks into it, and asked, "But shouldn't it still be during class time?"

"I applied to leave school early anyway, since the last two hours are all home economics class," Tetsuya said nonchalantly. "My older sister got an A in home economics in elementary school, is this class even necessary? How can we improve elementary education in Okinawa if we're hanging out with those bastards from the Ministry of Culture!"
