Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

The girl pointed with her other finger to the bottom of her skirt.

"さっき、private のスカートの中を遗したでしょう?" (Just now, you were secretly filming the bottom of my skirt, right?)

Her tone was resolute, as if she had caught a criminal red-handed.

"お金を払って, 内丝で済ませよう...そうじゃないと, すぐ police report するよ?" (You have to give money...otherwise, I will call the police and arrest you immediately~)

The deliberately drawn-out, threatening "yo~" sound, like the tail hook of a little devil, clearly entered Chen Ming's eardrums amidst the background noise of the bustling shopping street.

The girl seemed to have the victory in her grasp. The honest man in front of her, with his gentle face and decent clothes, was already fish on her chopping board. She was sure he would obediently hand over "hush money" with a frustrated expression.

In Japan, accusations of treason are as powerful as nuclear weapons! The legal scales in this country are heavily biased towards women—often, a woman's testimony alone is enough to ruin a man's reputation, without any need for concrete evidence!

If she were to scream at the top of her lungs, "He's a Chinese!", passersby, shop assistants, and even patrolling police officers would instantly surround the man. He would be immediately apprehended, taken away for investigation, and left with no way to defend himself.

Being identified as a "Chinese person" is a very serious matter in Japan.

Especially since it involves a high school girl like her.

Detention and hefty fines are just the appetizers; the truly fatal blow is social death! Being swiftly fired from your job, becoming a pariah in the job market, and even being avoided by family and friends...

For any working professional with a respectable job who values ​​their reputation, this would be an absolutely unbearable catastrophe. Weighing the pros and cons, 99% of people would choose to swallow their anger and pay to avoid further trouble.

However, despite all her careful planning, the young girl overlooked a crucial issue—the language barrier.

Chen Ming frowned slightly, looking at the aggressive JK girl in front of him who was speaking gibberish in a foreign language. His eyes were filled with pure confusion—he couldn't understand a word she was saying!

The two remained locked in a stalemate, one eagerly awaiting payment, the other utterly bewildered, staring at each other in an extremely awkward situation.

"Mr. Chen, what happened?"

Tour guide Liu Yuanyuan's voice rang out promptly, filled with concern.

When she came out after buying water, she immediately saw Chen Ming being entangled by a strange high school girl.

Qing Zijin, Hua Qianhui, and Wang Manman followed closely behind, filing out of the convenience store and surrounding them in confusion.

With Liu Yuanyuan's fluent Japanese translation, Chen Ming finally understood what the JK girl meant—it turned out that when he was looking at the job advertisement outside the convenience store, he was holding his phone with the camera naturally pointing outwards. This girl named Shigure Yui happened to walk right in front of his camera, her skirt fluttering. She then immediately accused him of secretly filming under her skirt!

So, I've become a Chinese?

No, this is clearly the infamous "JK extortion"—a blatant form of blackmail that exploits men's fear of the stigma associated with "Chinese men."

Chen Ming had only seen such things online before, and he had even watched a related movie called "Even So It Wasn't Me Who Did It".

I never expected that my first trip to Japan would result in such a "lucky break".

The girl in front of me had an adorable face that still looked youthful and full of collagen, with fair and delicate skin. Two slightly swaying ponytails were tied behind her head, making her look incredibly playful.

However, cuteness is only her appearance; hidden beneath her cute exterior is a heart like a little devil.

System, check!

[Name]: Shigure Yui

Age: 16

[Height]: 155cm

[Weight]: 42kg

Overall Appearance: 85

[Power Bank]: 0

[Status]: Physically healthy (energetic, with clear goals)

[Favorability Rating]: -10 (Perceives Chen Ming as an honest and easily bullied target for blackmail)

Surprisingly, this JK girl had zero power bank accounts.

This surprised Chen Ming greatly.

Because in his stereotype, Japan is a very promiscuous country, where not only is the sex industry legal, but adult films are sold worldwide, and online one can often see terms like "compensated dating," "ghost girls," and "Okubo Park"...

So he thought it would be hard to find a pure girl in Japan with zero power bank accounts.

This little black-hearted woman in front of me, who's trying to extort money, is actually a "brand new" product?!

However, Chen Ming thought about it again. This little devil could easily make a lot of money through this kind of risk-free extortion, so naturally she would disdain doing the kind of escort dating that required "real skills".

Originally, Chen Ming just watched the spectacle of Shigure Yui extorting money from local Japanese people, and might even have thought it had a bit of "cultural charm".

But if they try to extort him, the little devil must be taught a lesson he'll never forget.

Suddenly, a dangerous yet amused glint flashed in Chen Ming's eyes. A smirk played on his lips as he gave an order to Liu Yuanyuan beside him:

“Tell her we’re willing to settle this privately. But—” He glanced at the curious onlookers around him, “there are too many people here, it’s not convenient to talk. Let’s go to that coffee shop next door, it’ll be quiet, and we can talk ‘properly’.”

Tour guide Liu Yuanyuan immediately relayed Chen Ming's words to the JK girl in fluent Japanese.

"Settle it privately? Change the location?" Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Shigure Yui's cunning eyes.

Based on her past successes, extortion must be carried out quickly in public and under the watchful eyes of the public!

This way, one can use environmental pressure to force the other party to comply while maximizing one's own safety—presumably, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything to her in a crowd.

But today's operation got off to a bad start—she hadn't expected that the honest-looking man she randomly picked would actually be Chinese. Since most people are of Asian descent, it's indeed difficult to tell them apart at first glance.

I thought today's extortion attempt would fail because of the language barrier—after all, Shigure Yui's real goal was money, and if she didn't get the money, calling the police would be pointless. Making a scene would only leave a record at the Metropolitan Police Department, affecting her future extortion attempts...

She was about to let go and make a quick getaway when things took an unexpected turn! This man had actually brought a professional translator with him!

More importantly, he was accompanied by three beautiful girls! This entourage... this man is definitely a big fat sheep! The kind that can yield tons of gold coins!

Greed instantly overwhelmed that negligible caution. Shigure Yui's mind raced with calculations: a coffee shop it is! There are security cameras and staff inside; he wouldn't dare do anything reckless! As long as she could get the money, the location didn't matter!

Of course, the presence of Aokojin and Hana Chie also served to reassure Shigure Yui.

After all, in her eyes, these two older women were far more beautiful than herself. With them present, would this seemingly refined and honest man dare to do anything excessive to her, the "victim," in broad daylight? This inexplicable sense of security based on the comparison of their appearances made her relax her tense nerves.

"Hmph, fine!"

Shigure Yui raised her chin, trying to maintain the tough stance of a "victim," and released her grip on Chen Ming's sleeve, but her eyes remained fixed on him, as if afraid he would run away. "Then let's go to the coffee shop! But don't try anything funny!"

As Chen Ming watched the girl walk unsuspectingly toward his "designated location," the playful smile on his lips deepened.

He cast a reassuring glance at Qing Zijin and the others who looked worried, and then calmly followed them.

Soon, the group entered the nearby shop, which was filled with the aroma of coffee. The tour guide, Liu Yuanyuan, being perceptive, immediately went to the front desk and booked a quiet private room.

The door to the private room slowly closed, shutting out the noise from outside.

As soon as she sat down on the sofa in the private room, Shigure Yui couldn't wait to speak.

"Alright, Mr. Chi Han, you said you'd settle this privately at the coffee shop, now you can obediently pay up!"

A bright smile instantly bloomed on her delicate, doll-like face. She leaned forward slightly, extended one small, fair hand directly in front of Chen Ming, and said in a firm tone that was completely different from her cute smile:

"10 yen (approximately 5000 RMB), and I'll pretend nothing happened today. How about that? You don't want to get arrested by the police and lose your respectable job because of something like this, do you?"

After saying that, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with a confident light, as if she could already see the money falling into her pocket.

Chen Ming's eyelids twitched involuntarily after listening to Liu Yuanyuan's translation.

This dialogue sounds like something a Japanese netizen would say.

Okay, this is indeed Japan, but did this little girl pick up the wrong script?

In adult films, this is the line spoken by a male porn star who coerces a female victim!

P.S.: This chapter is a make-up for yesterday's; I accidentally fell asleep yesterday.

There's one more chapter today.

Chapter 226: Box Weapon

Seeing Chen Ming remain silent, Shi Yu Yi's smug smile froze slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible suspicion flashed across her face.

The men who had been extorted by her in the past would cower like quails, their faces pale and trembling as they handed over the money.

Today's "prey" is behaving a bit strangely...

于是她立刻出言警告道：“怎么？不愿意？别不识好歹，我最后给你5秒考虑。5……4……3……2……”

(The following dialogue between Chen Ming and Shi Yu Youyi is assumed to be translated in real-time by Liu Yuanyuan.)

Just as Shigure Yui was about to utter the "1", Chen Ming, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His voice carried a deliberately feigned hesitation:

"If I give you 10 yen, will you... will you really... let me go? You won't go back on your word?"

This "showing weakness" tone instantly relaxed Shigure Yui's tense nerves! The little devilish smile on her face reappeared, even more smugly.

She raised her delicate chin, puffed out her flat chest, and said in a condescending tone:

"Hey~ Of course! I promise you! This is fair and reasonable compensation. Give & Take, deal done, this matter is settled!"

She waved her outstretched palm, her tone threatening, "Hurry up! Give me the money! If you keep dawdling, I'm going to raise the price to 20 yen!"

However, just as she thought victory was assured and the gold coins were about to be in her pocket—

The hesitation on Chen Ming's face vanished instantly, and in an extremely loud and dramatic voice, he uttered the line he had prepared beforehand:

"Daga! Koukouwalu!"

"What?!"

Shigure Yui's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief! She wasn't shocked by Chen Ming's rejection, but rather—him! How could he suddenly speak Japanese?!

Actually, "口口哇路" is a misheard pronunciation of the Japanese phrase "I refuse," and it is one of the three classic memes in the "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" series. Due to its catchy pronunciation, the meme has gradually become a popular term in the anime and manga community.

Chen Ming secretly rejoiced at Shigure Yui's horrified expression.

As a seasoned anime enthusiast, he had rehearsed this catchy line in his mind countless times, and today he finally found the opportunity to use it in its "place of origin"!

He slightly raised his chin and continued in that exaggerated, almost theatrical tone:

"One of my favorite things to do, Chen Ming, is to say 'NO' to those guys who think they have the upper hand and refuse them!"

Unfortunately, none of the people present realized he was making a joke.

The private room was silent. Qing Zijin, Hua Qianhui, Wang Manman, and Liu Yuanyuan all looked bewildered—they each had their own preferences, but none of them happened to know anything about anime and manga culture.

As for Shigure Yui, who is Japanese, although she has watched a lot of anime, it is mainly the kind that is aimed at women, and she has never watched "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".

The sudden awkward silence instantly replaced Chen Ming's enthusiasm for making jokes with embarrassment.

So he coughed lightly and casually slapped away Shigure Yui's small hand, which was still outstretched in front of him, waiting to receive the money!

Then he took out his phone and waved it in front of Shigure Yui. The screen clearly showed the recording interface: "Go ahead and call the police if you want. But I have recorded the whole thing from the moment you grabbed me at the convenience store entrance until every word you said to blackmail me just now."

Chen Ming wasn't bluffing. The moment his cuff was grabbed, the loyal [Crimson] silently activated. It instantly activated the recording function on Chen Ming's phone, and like an invisible ghost, it infiltrated and downloaded all the surveillance footage from the convenience store and the coffee shop entrance!

"you……"

Shigure Yui's hand was slapped hard, and she jerked her slender hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling the faint pain in her palm, while glaring fiercely at Chen Ming with her wide-open eyes, as if she wanted to pierce him with her gaze.

[Aren't Chinese men supposed to be gentle? How come this guy is so violent, actually hitting a girl?!]

[You despicable coward, don't think you're so great just because you have audio and video recordings! In cases like this involving Chinese men, the Metropolitan Police Department only ever listens to the woman's testimony! A man's evidence? Ha, those officers will just think it's sophistry and won't believe it at all! You're too smug!]

With that in mind, Shigure Yui steeled her resolve and prepared to add a little more leverage.

She ripped off the hair tie that bound her pigtails, letting her smooth black hair instantly become disheveled and fall down, partially obscuring her face. Then she vigorously rubbed her hair, deliberately creating the appearance of being roughly treated and disheveled.

Finally, she grabbed the collar of her sailor shirt with both hands and pulled it down sharply!

"Thorn-"

A button popped open! Her snow-white, rounded shoulders and the barely visible white bra strap were instantly exposed to the air. She even deliberately rubbed a faint red mark on her collarbone.

After completing this "perfect victim" act, she raised her deliberately pitiful yet undeniably pretty face, gave a cold snort, and said with an air of confidence:

"You're finished!"

"If you don't want to get into big trouble, hand over the 20 yen right now!" She instantly doubled the extortion amount, pointing to the ground, "Then dogezu (bowing deeply) and apologize to me!"

“Otherwise…” She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, as if she was about to scream, “I’ll scream then, you know?!”

[You lowly scoundrel, how dare you hit me!]
