The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

"Could you please pay by mail remittance, Mr. Luo?"

"No problem. What's the address?"

Mr. Luo did not ask why.

"Please mail it to... and just mark the recipient as Alice."

"I understand." Luo Shu wrote down the address. He did not ask whether the address was authentic or not. After all, it would have nothing to do with him if he could not receive the money.

What's more, he also understood that it was obviously unrealistic to get Alice's real address by posting an investigation commission on the dark web.

Therefore, he did not question the authenticity of the address, but wrote it down, confirmed with Alice, and ended the contact.

At the same time, in a room at the "NEET Detective Agency" located at the back door of Hanamaru Ramen Restaurant deep in the busy alleys of Shinjuku District, a girl named Shionji Ariko, whose pseudonym is Alice, frowned slightly as she looked at the information on the computer screen.

The other party’s communication location cannot be confirmed. With this level of information encryption, is he an official?

No, that's not right. Even the combined assets of Tsubakihara Corporation and the Boyman family are not enough for the authorities to take action against them.

What's more, in a capitalist society, it is not uncommon for wealthy and prestigious families like Liulichuan to suddenly disappear.

"Could it be that this Mr. Luo is Miss Mira's suitor?"

Shionji Yuko muttered something, her slender hands typing rapidly on the keyboard.

She quickly found information about Mira Tsubakihara, but didn't find any suspects that matched Mr. Luo's.

However, this actually aroused the interest of Shionji Yuuko.

The corners of the girl's mouth curled up slightly, but when she found out about the Boyman family, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Because the bankruptcy of the Liulichuan family occurred after the accidental death of Liulichuan Tsubaki's parents.

So suspicious.

It's suspicious, a little too obvious.

Luo Shu naturally would not have thought that the Alice he hired was so efficient. After hanging up the phone with Alice, he went back to the bedroom and took out the laptop he bought last night.

He logged into his email and began to look through the resume he had received for the position of Qianying Apartment Manager.

NEET Detective Alice

Chapter 3: Meet the hot girls again at the school gate

Luo Shu looked carefully and after screening, he found that there was no one he remembered in the resumes of these applicants, which made him feel a little relieved.

After all, if you hire a female administrator and she herself is the heroine of a work related to the other world, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Qianying Apartment in the future.

He randomly selected six resumes and sent them interview messages. He found that it was almost noon without him noticing.

"Time flies. After the interviews are over this afternoon, I'll go check out Chengshen Academy."

Luo Shu thought for a while, picked up the "World Tree Terminal", then got up and left the apartment.

After lunch, he returned to the apartment and began to prepare for the interview.

Luo Shu chose a relatively large vacant room on the first floor of Qianying Apartment.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the first interviewee arrived and Luo Shu met him at the door of Qianying Apartment.

At 4:10 in the afternoon, after he finished interviewing the sixth candidate, he chose a candidate who was about 30 years old and had experience working as a female bodyguard.

Although Luo Shu didn't understand why the female bodyguard chose to apply for the position of apartment manager after retiring, during the interview, compared with other applicants, only this female bodyguard gave him a sense of security.

However, this person gave him a very limited sense of security, because this derivative world, which was deeply related to the otherworldly works, was full of malice towards women.

"Well, the most urgent thing is to collect the World Origin as soon as possible. The World Tree Terminal is only the first form of the World Tree Seed. Only when there are enough World Origin can the second and third forms, as well as the other functions of the World Tree Terminal, be unlocked."

While muttering to himself, Luo Shu sent a text message to the applicant, who used to be a female bodyguard and named Hongye Zhumei, informing her that her application had been accepted and notifying her to come for a trial the next day.

After all, there was only one day left before school started, and he wanted Qianying Apartment to publish a rental advertisement as soon as possible before school officially started, otherwise his existing savings would be exhausted sooner or later.

He estimated that he would have to stay in this derivative world for a long time. If he didn't make long-term plans in advance, when he ran out of money, would he really have to work? By then, he probably couldn't even think about plundering the origin of the world.

Luo Shu now realized that he had used the opportunity of "World Hacking" to compile the identities of the world's legal residents a little carelessly.

If he had known earlier that this derivative world was related to works related to the other world, he would have expanded his interpersonal relationships no matter what, at least to be connected with some of the characters in the derivative world.

However, it's too late to regret now.

Luo Shu could only take this mistake as a lesson.

After all, the mistake this time was ultimately due to the fact that he had not previously considered using the precious one hour provided by "World Hacking" to shield the secrets of heaven to do some preliminary investigation work.

"Okay, now that the apartment manager issue has been resolved, it's time to go to Chengshen Academy to check out the situation and make some preparations before enrolling."

Luo Shu had an idea in his mind and immediately took action.

Because Qianying Apartment is only a ten-minute walk from Chengshen Academy, he did not choose to take a Toyota motorcycle this time.

After all, the probability of meeting important characters from the derivative world is greater when walking than when riding a bike.

Wasn't he very lucky enough to meet the three hot girls including Kurumizaka Ruri while he was having breakfast and drinking coffee in the morning?

Therefore, if he strolls around Qianying Apartment in the future, he will most likely choose to walk.

Luo Shu did not walk too fast this time. On the one hand, he was not familiar with the route to Chengshen Academy, and on the other hand, he was intentionally observing the surrounding environment along the way.

Therefore, by the time he arrived at Chengshen Academy, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

When Luo Shu arrived near the school gate, he suddenly remembered that he had not yet officially enrolled in school. He did not have his student ID card in his hand, and he did not have his admission letter with him. He was embarrassed for a moment.

I am crying because of my own stupidity. Do I have to give up going into the school to check it out today?

Just when Luo Shu was thinking about whether to go home, three familiar figures walked out of the school.

"Xuecai, look, it's that handsome guy we met in the cafe this morning."

Kurumizaka Ruri saw Luo Shu wandering outside the school gate. Her eyes lit up and she was about to rush forward, "We can't let him get away this time."

Seeing this, Hamasaki Reina quickly grabbed her overly excited friend and reminded her, "Don't you see that she seems to be waiting for someone? It's really rude to approach her like this."

"Reina, are you saying that because you're sweating?" Sasaki Setsuna knew why Hamasaki Reina was acting so strangely. She smiled gently and teased, "Ruri, I'm going."

"Hurry up, hurry up." Kurumizaka Ruri grabbed the hand of Hamasaki Reina who was trying to stop Sasaki Setsuna, and handed her her phone, "By the way, ask for my number too."

"OK!"

Setsuna Sasaki turned off her phone and walked towards Luo Shu with graceful steps.

At this time, Luo Shu also noticed three fiery gazes. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a girl dressed quite charmingly walking towards him.

Why are they here too?

"Yo~"

Setsuna Sasaki has extremely beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and when she looks at people, she reveals a hint of charm that is in stark contrast to her age. However, when she saw Luo Shu's handsome face, she felt a little nervous for the first time in her life.

She and Reina Hamasaki have worked as models and have met many handsome men in the modeling circle. However, because she and Reina have the help of Kurumizaka Ruri, those male models usually don't dare to talk to them.

The three of them have very consistent standards for men. They generally look down on those male models in the modeling circle who are good-looking but useless, and think they are dirty.

Therefore, they privately agreed to keep their virginity until at least their senior year, and then give it to the same boy.

If Luo Shu had not appeared in this world, they would most likely have been attracted to their classmate Imaizumi after seeing her beauty after school started this year, and then fell in love with her over time.

Unfortunately, Luo Shu's unexpected appearance caused them to gradually deviate from their original destiny.

"Hello." Luo Shu could see that the girl was a little nervous. Looking at her heart-shaped earrings, he recalled the plot of the animation in his mind and recognized that the girl with long black straight hair was Setsuna Sasaki from the trio.

There is no doubt that Setsuna Sasaki is qualified to work in the modeling industry, as her appearance, figure and temperament are all top-notch.

This was the first time in Luo Shu's life that he had been approached by such a beautiful girl, so he was in a pretty good mood. So he didn't deliberately choose to be perfunctory. Instead, he smiled lightly and asked, "Classmate, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Hello, handsome guy, I'm Setsuna Sasaki, the one with pink twintails over there is Kurumizaka Ruri, and the one with blonde hair is Reina Hamasaki."

Sasaki Setsuna could see that Luo Shu didn't reject her approach, and she felt somewhat relieved.

This was the first time in her life that she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex.

The experience was somewhat novel, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Chapter 4: Shocked to Hear the Kendo Club President is Miyajima Sakura

"Oh, I remember." Luo Shu looked at Kurumizaka Ruri and Hamasaki Reina who were also walking towards him. He smiled and nodded to them, then turned his gaze back to Sasaki Setsuna's pretty face. "My name is Luo Shu. If you don't mind, you can call me by my full name, or just call me Shu."

When Sasaki Setsuna learned Luo Shu's name, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She blinked her charming eyes and pretended to be surprised and asked tentatively, "Is Luo Shu from China?"

"Yes." Luo Shu's identity as a Chinese living in Japan is quite convenient.

Overseas Chinese in Japan refer to Chinese citizens who retain their Chinese nationality and reside in Japan.

These overseas Chinese have obtained long-term or permanent residency in Japan and have resided in Japan for two consecutive years, with a cumulative residence of no less than 18 months within the two years.

In addition, Chinese people who have not obtained long-term or permanent residence in Japan but have obtained legal residence status in Japan for more than 5 consecutive years (including 5 years) and have accumulated a total of no less than 30 months of residence in 5 years are also regarded as overseas Chinese.

Therefore, Luo Shu's status as a Chinese living in Japan does not actually mean that he has given up his Chinese citizenship in this derivative world.

"Really? I thought Luo Shu was an immigrant. Your Japanese is more authentic than most people in Japan."

Luo Shu didn't get carried away when he heard Sasaki's outspoken praise. Instead, he said modestly, "No, no, Sasaki-san, and Kurumizaka-san, Hamasaki-san, did you just finish your club activities?"

"No, Ruri and I came here with Reina to attend the women's basketball club's training today. Reina is the only one who actually participated in the club activities." Sasaki Setsuna explained with a smile. Then, seeing Kurumizaka Ruri wink at her, she calmly changed the subject, "I saw Luo Shu lingering at the school gate. Is he waiting for someone?"

"No." Luo Shu shook his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I had planned to come to the school for a tour before the start of school, but I forgot that I'm a freshman and haven't got my student ID yet. I'm struggling with whether to go back."

"Mr. Luo Shu wants to tour the school?" Kurumizaka Ruri's eyes lit up, and she gently nudged Hamasaki Reina with her elbow. "Reina, you're a sports student, it's your turn to go on stage."

"No problem." Reina Hamasaki could see that her two best friends seemed to have a crush on Luo Shu, and she sighed helplessly in her heart.

However, when she looked carefully at Luo Shu's handsome face, she found that she was also moved, so she did not refuse.

"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Luo Shu had some understanding of Fuso culture. This country has a special custom of "not causing trouble for others".

From Sasaki Setsuna's conversation, he could probably guess that Sasaki Setsuna and Kurumizaka Ruri had probably accompanied Hamasaki Reina to school to participate in club activities since morning. Now they left school, either to go home together, or to go shopping or sing together.

After all, there is no doubt that the hot girl trio would be perfect characters in mainstream works.

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." Hamasaki Reina heard Luo Shu's question. Being a sensitive person, she immediately noticed the sharp gazes of her two best friends and quickly said, "It just so happens that there are still many clubs going on right now. If Luo Shu doesn't mind, we can take you to visit them."

"Then I'll trouble you, Hamasaki-san." When Luo Shu heard the other party say this, he glanced at Sasaki Setsuna, who took advantage of the time when he was talking to Hamasaki Reina to walk to Kurumizaka Ruri and handed her a cell phone.

He could probably guess why Setsuna Sasaki approached him.

Luo Shu guessed that Setsuna Sasaki was instigated by Kurumizaka Ruri.

He guessed that if Setsuna Sasaki succeeded in striking a conversation with him, the next step would be to ask for his contact information.

After all, these three girls are hot girls, not good girls who get so shy and blush that they can't even speak clearly when they see boys.

Luo Shu's mind raced as he realized how he was going to get along with these three hot girls, so he added, "Excuse me, what grade are you three in?"

"Like Shu-kun, Ruri is also in the first grade." Kurumizaka Ruri didn't intend to waste time on the address and directly closed it to a somewhat intimate level. "It would be great if I could be assigned to the same class as Shu-kun."

When Sasaki Setsuna heard Kurumizaka Ruri use such a familiar name and that Luo Shu wasn't angry, she realized her pretense of reserve seemed a bit unnecessary, so she took over the conversation without giving in, "I have a feeling that we'll be assigned to the same class as Shu."

Reina Hamasaki was speechless at the impatience of her two best friends, but she couldn't help feeling envious. After struggling for a long time, she quickly convinced herself in her heart.

"Shu Jun, I want to take you into the school. We can talk while we walk."

"Okay." Luo Shu didn't know much about the various etiquettes of Japanese people in addressing others, so he didn't realize that these three hot girls were already attracted to him.

In other words, after Luo Shu held the "World Tree Seed" and allowed it to germinate, his temperament, appearance, charm and other aspects had unknowingly reached a level close to the limit of mortals.

This is because whether or not the "World Tree Seed" can germinate successfully is an important prerequisite for measuring whether a person has the qualifications to become a god.

It can be said that after Luo Shu allowed the "World Tree Seed" to germinate and unlocked the first form "World Tree Terminal", he already had the initial ability to possess an indiscriminate attraction comparable to that of a succubus.

This is because Luo Shu's soul and body are being transformed by the World Tree Seed at a slow pace, gradually gaining "divinity".

Although the divinity in Luo Shu was very thin at this time, perhaps only one billionth, the impact on his body and soul had already begun to show.

After all, the gap in life levels between mortals and gods is often reflected in whether or not they possess this one billionth of "divinity".

Closer to home.

Accompanied by three beautiful girls, Luo Shu successfully passed the security guard's inspection.

However, before leaving, he keenly noticed a strange detail.

That is the gatekeeper of Seishin Academy. His attitude towards Kurumizaka Ruri is obviously more friendly than towards him, Sasaki Setsuna and Hamasaki Reina.

He guessed that the guard was most likely acquainted with Kurumizaka Ruri.
