Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Unfortunately, Yukinoshita didn't reply even after class started. It was unclear whether it was because her phone wasn't with her, or because, as a good student, she strictly adhered to the almost non-existent school rules—no phone use during breaks.

Fortunately, this is the last class of the day, so there's no need to contact her by phone anymore. I can just go to the Service Department's activity room and ask her in person.

get out of class is over, school is over, the Service Department classroom.

"The total scores are the same?"

Yuihama held the report card that Yukinoshita had printed out from Hiratsuka Shizuka, looked at the total score column, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone.

"Is this considered a tie?" Hachiman asked, then added, "Should we consider a tiebreaker?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino shook her head and said in a cold voice, "There's no need for a tiebreaker; I've already lost."

In Xue Shita's view, even if Lin Qianshu's total score was the same as hers, she would still have lost.

The test scores are essentially a competition of learning abilities. A month ago, Lin Qianshu's overall grades were only in the lower middle of the class, but now she is tied for first place with her. This undoubtedly shows that her actual learning ability is definitely stronger than hers.

Therefore, Yukinoshita believes that the winner of this bet is Hayashi Chiki, there is no such thing as a tie, and there is absolutely no need for a tiebreaker.

However, despite admitting defeat, the sense of frustration that Yukinoshita felt after losing to Lin Qianshu was still quite strong.

After all, before this, Yukinoshita had never lost to her peers in terms of academic performance, but the appearance of Hayashi Chiki directly took away her first time.

Lin Qianshu had no intention of accepting Yukino Yukinoshita's surrender.

"We agreed that the results would determine the outcome, and now that we have the same total score, the final result should be a tie."

“We started from different points,” Yukino Yukinoshita said.

What she wanted to express was very simple: the difficulty of her getting first place was completely different from that of Lin Qianshu getting first place. At the very beginning of the bet, she was the one who had the advantage. Now that the scores are the same, of course the one with greater difficulty wins.

"Actually, they're about the same." Lin Qianshu knew his own situation well. If he didn't have a photographic memory, no matter how good his brain was, he couldn't possibly catch up with Yukinoshita in just one month.

They're already getting a head start, yet they still want to start on the same level as everyone else; that's really shameless.

"Then I admit defeat, is that alright?" Yukinoshita insisted.

“Then I’ll admit defeat.” Lin Qianshu refused to budge an inch.

"Um..." Yuihama timidly raised her hand and said, "How about you each agree to one of the other's conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and Chiki Hayashi exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

"Let me ask you beforehand, how did you originally plan to use this condition, Yukinoshita?" Lin Qianshu asked.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to record a video of you in a maid outfit." Yukinoshita said casually, but what Lin Qianshu found quite terrifying!

Lin Qianshu's pupils dilated upon hearing this, and he asked tremblingly, "If it's really as Yuihama said, and we each agree to one condition from the other, will you still maintain your original idea?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "I really want to do that, but if I do, you'll definitely come up with a similar condition, or you'll just use your condition to reject mine. But if that happens, the bet will be meaningless."

“Indeed.” Lin Qianshu agreed with Yukino’s idea.

"Therefore, in order to avoid a lose-lose situation, we must discuss and come up with a condition that is acceptable to both sides," Yukinoshita said calmly.

A win-win situation is always better than a lose-lose situation.

Lin Qianshu expressed strong agreement.

Yuihama, Hikigaya, and Kawasaki Saki, who had somehow snuck in, all showed expressions of disappointment after the two reached a consensus.

There's nothing funny to watch anymore.

Chapter 61 Workplace Visit

Although the bet ended in a draw, the game continues.

How to obtain the greatest benefit within the premise that the other party can accept has become a new round of competition between Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita, which they both understand in tacit agreement.

However, it was inconvenient to discuss such matters in front of the other three people. After all, whether it was the unequal treaty that Yukinoshita was forced to sign because of the cat-teasing video, or the fact that she provided Hayashi Chiki with handmade snacks three times a week, these were secrets that were not suitable for outsiders to know.

After exchanging a glance, Lin Qianshu and Xue Zhixia chose to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, didn't Professor Hiratsuka say she was going to organize a club trip?" Lin Qianshu asked.

Yukinoshita clearly had her own sources of information: "After the regular exams, the school is going to organize a workplace visit. This has been in the works for a long time and we were supposed to go today, but something seems to have gone wrong. After going around in circles, this matter has ended up falling on Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulders again."

"In this situation, the teacher probably won't have time to plan any more club trips."

Hikigaya stroked his chin and said, "No wonder I haven't seen her today except for Japanese class."

"I feel sorry for the teacher."

Yuihama was a little disappointed; she had been looking forward to the club trip, since it was something she had never experienced before. But she quickly put that sympathy aside and asked, "Speaking of which, Yukino, where did you choose to visit?"

“I chose a nearby state-owned enterprise,” Yukinoshita replied.

"Eh...I see. Then I guess we won't be able to run into each other." Yuihama said with some regret. She was going to an electronics manufacturing company, which was a private enterprise, so it was obviously impossible for her to run into Yukinoshita.

Lin Qianshu suddenly said, "Anyway, as long as the students go to visit and meet the quota, the school will turn a blind eye even if you sneak into another group."

"Is that okay?" Yuihama's eyes lit up.

Hikigaya poured cold water on her enthusiasm, saying, "Even if you can visit other groups, what are you planning to do about Miura's situation?"

Upon hearing this, Yuihama chuckled and said, "Oh, right..."

"Besides, you actually already agreed to come here, didn't you?"

Speaking of Hachiman, he was frustrated. He had already planned to find an obscure company close to home with Chiki Hayashi and just get by, but for some reason, Hayama came over and asked to join their team.

Because the difference in ecological niche was so enormous, Hachiman had absolutely no way to refuse.

Lin Qianshu, however, saw through Ye Shan's thoughts. It was simply because each group had a limited number of people, and with so many people in the "normie group," no matter who Ye Shan, as the core member, teamed up with, someone would inevitably be left behind, thus affecting the group's relationships.

So they simply joined Lin Qianshu's group. This way, those who wanted to team up with Ye Shan would be somewhat disappointed, but it wouldn't necessarily cause any animosity between them.

This is the kind of operation you see in old-fashioned central air conditioning systems.

Thinking of this, Lin Qianshu comforted her, "Isn't this good too? With more people, at least we don't have to worry about personally communicating with company employees."

Yes, visiting a workplace is not just about sightseeing; it also involves communicating with frontline employees. Even if it's just a perfunctory exchange, why not skip this step if possible?

With Hayama around, such work will definitely be handled by him and the 'guards' surrounding him, so he and Hachiman only need to go, just like visiting a museum.

"That makes sense." After thinking about it, Hachiman realized that what Lin Chishu said made sense, and he felt much better.

Sending him to talk to frontline employees will only solidify his belief that he will become a stay-at-home dad; it will bring no other results.

"Kawasaki-kun, which company did you choose?" Lin Qianshu suddenly asked Kawasaki Saki, who was hiding to the side.

Because there was no scheduled shift today, and out of curiosity about the outcome of the bet between Hayashi Chiki and Yukinoshita, Kawasaki Saki made a rare appearance at the Service Club's club activity.

"Me? I just randomly picked a group that wasn't very big," Kawasaki Saki replied.

There are many small groups in the class, but each group can only hold so many people, so some people will definitely be left behind. Kawasaki Saki just randomly picked one, since the others in her group will go to people they know, just like Yuihama's group.

It's quite convenient for her to visit by herself, even if she just skips it... well, there are still some problems, after all, she still needs to get a scholarship.

Lin Qianshu thought for a moment and then extended an invitation: "In that case, why don't you join our group? There are already so many people, we won't miss you."

There are advantages to having more people.

Generally, each group is accompanied by a teacher during workplace visits. If there are few people in Kawasaki Saki's group, they may be assigned to another class's teacher group and visit with other classes. Just thinking about it makes people uncomfortable.

Lin Qianshu, on the other hand, had no such worries. Because of Ye Shan's presence, Lin Qianshu suspected that he could attract half of the class, so Hiratsuka Shizuka would most likely be on their side as well.

Given Hiratsuka Shizuka's relationship with the Service Club, she has absolutely no need to worry about the teacher evaluation after the workplace visit; she'll definitely get an excellent grade.

After Lin Qianshu explained the situation, Kawasaki Saki hesitated for a moment, but found that she couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she had no choice but to agree. She felt that she owed him another favor.

Little did Lin Qianshu know that this was exactly what he wanted. The more help he gave Kawasaki Saki, the deeper her gratitude would be, and the more generous the reward for any future requests would be.

This move can be described as a win-win-win situation.

Kawasaki Saki wins once by fulfilling her wish, while Lin Qianshu gains both her favor and a large amount of wish points, thus winning twice.

perfect!

……

On Wednesday, the postponed workplace visit was finally held successfully thanks to Ms. Hiratsuka's tireless efforts.

Lin Qianshu could tell that the other party must have been exhausted these past two days, even his punches to Hikigaya had become weak and powerless.

That won't do! It'll spoil Hachiman! He hasn't been releasing any Willpower Points lately!

Lin Qianshu mingled in the middle of the crowd, secretly cheering on Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was lagging behind and trying to correct Bikiya's mistakes.

Kawasaki Saki followed Lin Qianshu like a little tail, glancing at the mechanical equipment on display in the exhibition hall from time to time, but she did not try it out like the other students, even when Lin Qianshu offered to let her try it.

It's clear she has no interest in mechanical equipment; she's just there to get points.

"What did you do to that guy? She's looked at you at least ten times since just now," Kawasaki Saki asked in a low voice.

The "that guy" she was referring to was Yumiko Miura.

P.S.: There will be another chapter later...

Chapter 62: A Helping Hand from Miura's Mother

What did Lin Qianshu do to Miura Yumiko?

Nothing was done!

If I had to say what to do, it would be to attack her father.

When Lin Qianshu visited the Miura family, he did not use his power to ask Miura Yumiko's father for any benefits. Instead, he offered him a more favorable contract. Once the contract was signed, not only would the problems his company was currently facing be solved, but he could also take this opportunity to transform his industry and gain a broader future.

It sounds wonderful, but what is the price?

The price is that the other party will be tied to Lin's International for a long time to come. Once they lose Lin's International's orders, the company will immediately go bankrupt and be liquidated due to a broken capital chain.

Once you sign the contract, you're essentially handing over your entire fortune and life to Lin's International.

It was very demanding, but Lin Qianshu knew very well that the other party actually had no choice.

Although Lin Qianshu is in charge of the family affairs, it doesn't mean he's completely shirking his responsibilities.

At his request, the family quickly produced a due diligence report on the Miura family's company and sent a team to address his questions in some relevant professional fields.

It was through this information and the expertise of professionals, coupled with his photographic memory, that Lin Qianshu was able to fully grasp the situation of the Miura family company in a very short time, discover its problems, find the key to maximizing profits, and successfully realize them.

This incident also led Lin Qianshu to discover the hidden benefits of his 'photographic memory' ability: his information processing skills would be greatly enhanced during its use.

After all, the essence of memory is the human brain's recognition, retention, and reproduction of experienced things. To achieve the effect of remembering everything at a glance, it is necessary to comprehensively strengthen specific functional areas of the brain. In this process, the brain's information processing speed and ability will also be enhanced.

This ability is a byproduct of having a photographic memory, but in certain situations, this byproduct can be even more useful than the photographic memory itself!

Simply put, after Lin Qianshu activates his photographic memory, the resulting enhancement will temporarily transform him into a biological big data processor. In this state, his efficiency in absorbing and processing information will reach a superhuman level.

Perhaps this is the true use of the ability to 'remember everything'.

Anyway, the elites from the professional team sent by the family all exclaimed that Lin Qianshu was superhuman after witnessing his performance.

Lin Qianshu's behavior was actually an opportunity to demonstrate his value to his family.

Although it's unclear which core member of the family granted him this access, the saying goes, "You give me a chance, and I'll give you one too—an opportunity to invest in a scam."

The idea that he was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, or deliberately hiding his abilities, is simply not true. The care his family has shown him over the past year is enough to prove his reliability.

Moreover, although what Lin Qianshu displayed seemed superhuman, many geniuses in history have been able to do it, so it wouldn't cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.

As for why Miura Yumiko looked at Hayashi Chiki so frequently, it was entirely because of the conversation her mother had with her a couple of days ago.

Although not explicitly stated, the implication was to seize the opportunity, take the initiative, and use the advantage of being classmates to win over Lin Qianshu.

In Miura's mother's eyes, Lin Qianshu was outstanding in appearance, knew how to behave properly, spoke eloquently, and had a powerful background, making him a perfect match for her daughter.

Most importantly, after her husband signed that contract, their family's happiness for the rest of their lives was practically entirely in the other person's hands. She couldn't sleep peacefully without deepening their relationship.

What is the best way to deepen a relationship?

— Marriage alliance.

Miura's mother had already inquired and learned that Lin Qianshu's parents had died in a car accident a year ago. At this time, he should be at a low point in his life, just like a stock price hitting its lowest point. If her daughter could buy at this time, she could basically sit back and wait for the value to appreciate in the future.

As for whether it can appreciate in value... well, she may not understand business, but does she not understand her husband?

The fact that Lin Qianshu manipulated them to such an extent, and that they even entrusted their hard-earned businesses to him, is enough to prove Lin Qianshu's extraordinary nature.

Even if the company fails in the end, just because the other party is surnamed Lin, my daughter can still live a life free from financial worries.
