Yukino withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, and at the same time used her body to separate her sister from Lin Qianshu, and said, "Sister, stop fooling around, let's go home, I'm a little tired."
“Okay…” Yang Nai’s tone was slightly disappointed.
However, as Yukino turned around, Haruno secretly mouthed something to Lin Qianshu.
Send it to me.
Chapter 51 Yangnai teaches you how to check your strategy progress
Lin Qianshu was not the kind of treacherous person who would break his promise. Since he had already signed the "no dissemination of the video" agreement, he would never send the video to others casually.
Besides, you, Yukino Yukinoshita, think you can get something for nothing just by talking? There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Isn't this underestimating Mr. Lin's sense of contractual responsibility?
They've already met, so why hasn't Yang Nai's green wish request been settled yet?
Is it possible for a request for a power of will to be delayed?
Lin Qianshu opened the request section, intending to see what exactly happened.
【Yukino's Trial】
The task involves a seemingly perfect, devilish older sister who, upon seeing her beloved younger sister make a new friend, sets a test for this new friend—to maintain a friendship with Yukino Yukinoshita until their next meeting.
Note: Yukino's attitude towards you at your next meeting will significantly affect the content of Haruno's subsequent requests.
Task progress: Under review.
After seeing the extra three words "Under Review" at the end of the commission information, Lin Qianshu finally understood why the commission had not been settled for him.
After all, Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have a system and can't directly view the progress bar of the relationship between Lin Qianshu and Yukino. She needs time to judge how far his relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita has progressed, and whether his appearance is good or bad for Yukino, before she can make a further decision.
After figuring this out, Lin Qianshu felt that sending the video she had just taken to Yang Nai wasn't unacceptable. What could be more proof of their bond than that she had managed to take such a video and still survive Yukino's death?
Of course, this was just a thought; Lin Qianshu wouldn't actually do it. In fact, he felt that if he did, it would likely have the opposite effect.
Despite Yukino's gentle and kind demeanor, like a caring older sister, Lin Qianshu knew very well that she was only acting this way because of Yukino.
If he does something bad to Yukino, or if Yukino's attitude towards him changes, then Yukinoshita Haruno will probably show a completely different face towards him.
"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita Haruno noticed Hayashi Chiki's gaze and immediately smiled.
However, in Lin Qianshu's emotional perception, Yang Nai's emotions did not change at all. The sense of disconnect brought about by this behavior constantly reminded Lin Qianshu of one thing.
That is, the other party has never shown her true self to anyone, including her own sister.
"I was just wondering why Sister Yang Nai would suddenly invite me to the cat and dog show." Lin Qianshu asked this question without any attempt to hide it.
Lin Qianshu was originally thinking about whether to find an opportunity to pretend to 'bump into' the client and hand over the commission, but the client 'delivered' himself to her door.
"That's naturally because of my Yukino."
Yang Nai turned her gaze to Yukino, who was queuing to buy milk tea not far away, and said in a relaxed tone, "You are the first male friend that Yukino has made since elementary school. The last time we met was too short, so as her older sister, I naturally have to find an opportunity to help Yukino make a good choice."
"After all, I, as your older sister, don't want Yukino to repeat the same mistake."
"Repeat the same mistakes?"
Lin Qianshu found the keywords, and his intuition told him that what Yang Nai mentioned was very likely related to Yukino Yukinoshita's golden wish request.
"Oh dear, these are all old stories. If Chishu-san really wants to know, you might as well ask Yukino yourself. Although I can tell you directly, if Yukino finds out, she'll probably ignore me for a long time." Haruno deliberately put on a pitiful look.
"You don't want to see me being disliked by Yukino, do you?"
To be honest, Lin Qianshu thought that Yang Nai might be overthinking things. Even if Yang Nai told him directly, Yukino's affection for Yang Nai wouldn't decrease.
It's not that Yukino has a high tolerance for Haruno, but rather that there's simply no room for it to decrease.
However, since Yang Nai has already said so, Lin Qianshu will not insist.
Moreover, Lin Qianshu was also aware that if he insisted on asking Yang Nai about this matter, she would most likely tell him, but that might cause problems for Yukino.
Just like skipping levels to fight a boss, although the progress is faster, the risk of failure also increases.
What Haruno wanted to express was quite clear: it would be best if Yukino was willing to tell you about this, but if Yukino was unwilling to tell you, it would mean that your relationship was just so-so and you still needed to practice.
From another perspective, Yang Nai was clearly teaching Lin Qianshu how to check Yukino's progress in the conquest.
“Since Sister Yang has already put it this way, it would be too rude of me to keep asking. Since we can’t bring up the past, Sister Yang, could you tell me the results of your review?” Lin Qianshu said.
After pretending to think, Yang Nai's expression turned serious for the first time. To be honest, after getting used to the other person's always smiling face, this sudden change was quite nerve-wracking.
"Are you mentally prepared?" Yang asked in a low voice.
Lin Qianshu said helplessly, "Sister Yang Nai, please be normal."
"Haha... I can't scare you after all. Don't worry, you have a very high rating here. I'm very confident in entrusting Yukino to you." Haruno broke down in a second, laughing as she patted Lin Qianshu's shoulder.
At the same time Yang Nai said those words, Lin Qianshu's commission was also being settled.
You've gained +2 Wish Points and successfully triggered a subsequent quest.
【Yukinoshita Haruno's Advancement Test (Part 1)】
Request details: Your relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita has surprised Haruno Yukinoshita, leading her to reveal some information about Yukino Yukinoshita's past and subtly hint that you should conduct further investigations with her. Haruno Yukinoshita hopes to use you to help her younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita, overcome the shadows of her childhood.
Note 1: Yukinoshita Haruno will change the way she contacts you based on your investigation results.
Note 2: This is a series of commissions. The completion status of each stage of the commission will affect the content and progress of subsequent commissions.
(Jin) Note 3: Yukino's gaze is always fixed on her younger sister, while she neglects herself. You might be able to do something about this.
The long-awaited purple wish request has finally been obtained, and the information provided in the request section is quite intriguing.
Lin Qianshu did not rush to inquire about Yukino Yukinoshita's past. Instead, he decided to investigate on his own first and then take the next step depending on the situation after he had gathered enough information.
As for what to do now, of course, it's to use the Wish Points I just got.
Chapter 52 During the investigation
Constitution +2
Lin Qianshu was not surprised by the result. Since drawing 'photographic memory' last time, he had accumulated 3 wish points, which came from Kawasaki Taishi and Yukinoshita Haruno respectively.
Kawasaki Taishi's willpower was converted into free points. Lin Qianshu, due to his newly acquired ability of photographic memory, urgently needed to enhance his spirit to gain longer endurance and increase his chances of winning the bet with Yukino Yukinoshita, so he directly allocated points to his spirit. The two willpower points from Yukino Yukinoshita were converted into physical points.
Therefore, Lin Qianshu's current stats are as follows:
Constitution: 7 (5+2)
精神:14(10+2+1+1)
Abilities: Emotional perception, photographic memory
Wish Points: 0 (Achieved: 8)
Although it was a pity that she didn't get the ability, Lin Qianshu was also very clear that the pity system was the norm, and getting the desired ability on the fourth pull like last time was ultimately a low-probability event.
This was the first time Lin Qianshu had ever drawn physique points. He clenched his fist and felt warm all over his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
After a while, this feeling subsided, and Lin Qianshu immediately discovered that his strength had increased, walking was easier than before, and his coordination and flexibility had also improved.
The fractures caused by the car accident were completely healed due to the increase in constitution points.
So it seems that if we get more free points in the future, without adding any new abilities, we might consider saving them up and using them to improve our constitution to speed up the healing process if we get injured later.
Although no specific tests were conducted, Lin Qianshu estimated that his physical fitness had improved by at least 20-30% compared to before, which can be described as quite significant.
Most importantly, this improvement is completely painless and even quite comfortable. Compared to exercising every day and trying to exhaust yourself, it's so much easier.
Lin Qianshu lifted his shirt in front of the mirror and found that his abdominal muscles, which were not very obvious before, were now clearly visible. The muscle lines on his body had also become smoother, giving him a slightly slender look. He looked stronger than before, and combined with his already good looks, his attractiveness to the opposite sex was greatly enhanced.
The pleasant weekend always passes quickly. Yukino Yukinoshita disappeared after visiting the Tokyo Cat and Dog Show that day. What awaits the students of Soubu High School is a week-long regular exam.
Because club activities were suspended during the exams, Chiki Hayashi had ample time to investigate Yukino Yukinoshita's past.
The first girl Lin Qianshu approached was Yui Yuigahama, who was currently the closest to Yukino Yukinoshita at school.
"What happened when Yukino was little? I've never heard her mention it. By the way, why are you asking about this, Lin Qianshu?" Yui Yuigahama asked, a look of confusion on her face after hearing Lin Qianshu's purpose.
Lin Qianshu had obviously anticipated this, saying, "When I met Yukinoshita's older sister before, we chatted briefly. It seems that she did something bad during her elementary school years. I'm a little curious, so I wanted to ask if you know anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama thought about it seriously for a while, and then gave a guess that even she herself was not quite sure about.
"Hmm... I don't know if it counts, but during our previous conversation, Yukino was quite sensitive to topics like bullying."
"Bullying?" Lin Qianshu thought about it and realized it was quite possible.
Bullying is a classic phenomenon in Japanese schools. In Japan, the more outstanding a person is, the more popular they are. On the contrary, being too outstanding can lead to rejection and jealousy from others, which can further escalate into bullying.
Considering Yukino Yukinoshita's aloof personality and her less-than-tactful way of handling things, the possibility of her being bullied seems quite high.
"Um... Lin Qianshu, why don't you just ask Yukino? If it were you, Yukino would probably tell you, right?"
"I'll ask later, Yuihama-san. Besides this, do you have any other information?"
“Other intelligence…” Yuihama fell into deep thought again, and soon, as if she remembered something, she said to Lin Qianshu.
“I’ve got it! I heard Yumiko mention before that Yukino and Hayama were elementary school classmates, so he should know something.”
"Hayama..." Lin Qianshu's eyes flickered. In fact, Lin Qianshu had been paying attention to Hayama Hayato for a long time.
Previously, when Yukino Yukinoshita had a confrontation with Yumiko Miura because of a promise made by Yuihama to have lunch together, Chiki Hayashi had already noticed her.
The reason is simple: when the other party met Yukino Yukinoshita, Lin Chishu noticed the 'guilt' emotion emerging from her. Combined with the fact that Hayama Hayato was Yukino Yukinoshita's elementary school classmate, it was basically certain that the other party knew something, or even might be the person involved.
"Do you need me to ask for you?" Yui asked, seemingly intrigued by Lin Qianshu's earlier words.
"May I?"
"No problem. If all else fails, I can ask Yumiko for help. She has a good relationship with Hayama."
"Um...are you sure you want to ask Miura for help because of Yukinoshita?"
What's the difference between this and openly slapping someone in the face?
Yuihama also realized that... it really wasn't appropriate.
"Let me do it. You can arrange a meeting with Miura for me," Lin Qianshu said after thinking for a moment.
Lin Qianshu didn't have any ill feelings towards Miura Yumiko; on the contrary, he was deeply impressed by her motherly personality, which was so different from her appearance.
Yuihama acted quickly, and by noon the next day, she had arranged a meeting for Miura Yumiko for Hayashi Chiki.
Upon arriving at the rooftop of the teaching building, Miura Yumiko felt somewhat restrained upon seeing Hayashi Chiki, as if she were a cat encountering a tiger.
In fact, the reason why Miura Yumiko had such feelings for Hayashi Chiki was entirely because she learned from her father the specific identity of 'Uncle Li' who took her home that day, as well as the specific meaning represented by Hayashi Chiki's surname.
Simply put, Lin's International Group is a major client of their company, and their entire family is basically begging for food under their control.
My family's company's contract with Lin's International is about to expire. If it can't be renewed, the company will suffer serious damage, if not bankruptcy.
Her father asked her to cultivate a good relationship with Lin Qianshu, and bluntly stated that if she could invite him to their home, her allowance would double.
In this situation, how could Miura Yumiko possibly be able to "get tough" in front of Hayashi Chiki?
"What do you want from me? Let's make this clear beforehand, I can't guarantee I can help you, but if I do, you'll have to do me a favor too... I can owe you one."
Chapter 53 Miura Yumiko's Request
Lin Qianshu was still thinking about how to bring this up with Miura Yumiko when she was completely taken aback by Miura Yumiko's smooth combo.
What does it mean to say, "If I help you, you have to help me in return," or even to say that you owe him a favor?
Why don't you tell me what kind of help you need?
Faced with the unusual behavior of Miura Yumiko, Lin Qianshu glanced at the gray exclamation mark above her head and decided to listen to what kind of help she needed.
"It means visiting my home."
"Oh, so I'm visiting your house... Wait, visiting your house?!"
"No, is it not okay?" Seeing Lin Qianshu's strong reaction, Miura Yumiko thought that the other party disagreed.
"It's not that it's impossible, but isn't this a bit too sudden?" Lin Qianshu was puzzled as to why Miura Yumiko would suddenly invite him to her home.
Lin Qianshu didn't think he had enough charm to make the second most popular girl on campus invite him to her home after knowing her for less than a week and exchanging no more than a hundred sentences with her. She even created a wish request for him.
If Lin Qianshu didn't know Miura Yumiko's personality, he would have thought this was some kind of new scam.
"It is a bit sudden, but I'm serious. Please consider it carefully. Also, you can tell me about your situation now, and I'll try my best to help you."
