Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Rumi, who had been lagging behind, was now walking in the very center of the group. A little ahead of her were Yuka and Hitomi, and behind her were Komori and... Lin Chishu didn't know her name.

Lin Qianshu had chosen to block the other party during the voting process because he didn't know their name. Now that things were like this, he had no intention of investigating any further.

Hopefully, everyone can learn something from this experience.

As Lin Qianshu was having unrealistic thoughts, Tsurumi Rumi seemed to sense his gaze and looked up at Lin Qianshu and Yukinoshita.

After hesitating for a moment, Tsurumi raised her hand and waved slightly, which could be considered a greeting.

Seeing this, Yukino hesitated for a moment, then waved back as a gesture of return.

In short, when Tsurumi Rumi passed by them, Lin Chishu could hear her whisper, "Thank you."

The sound was very soft and quite short. It was only because Lin Qianshu's physique had been enhanced by the system that it was impossible to detect it.

"This seems pretty good?"

This was the first time Lin Qianshu had helped someone without using wish points, and honestly, it felt pretty good.

"I hope she can find true friendship in the future," Yukinoshita said with a touch of melancholy.

“I wanted to say this from the beginning: this kid who went to the US seems a bit like you.”

"Ok?"

Yukinoshita was clearly puzzled, tilting her head to look at Lin Qianshu: "Like me?"

"Is not it?"

"She seems more like Yuihama-san."

"...No, no, no, it definitely looks more like you!"

"I think you should see an ophthalmologist. Why don't you go with Hachiman? Maybe you can get a discount if there are more people."

"Didn't you help her because you saw your past self in her?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said almost without thinking, "No, I only helped her because I saw that she needed help. Besides, I didn't really help her much. That child is moving forward on her own."

"I see..." Lin Qianshu was somewhat surprised by Yukinoshita's answer, but it also seemed reasonable.

What an O. Henry-style ending.

"Then what is your reason for wanting to help her?" Yukinoshita asked in return.

"Of course, it's because I think she looks like Yukino when she was little," Lin Qianshu replied without hesitation.

"Like, like me when I was little... What do you mean by that?" Yukino Yukinoshita instantly became a little stutterer, blushing and stammering, and she liked to ask questions she already knew the answer to.

"Didn't you experience something similar when you were in elementary school? I heard it was quite a mess. As your friend, I thought that maybe studying in the US could show you different possibilities, but unfortunately, it didn't work out," Lin Qianshu said with some regret.

"I... I see..." Yukinoshita breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing the word 'friend,' but a sense of loss inexplicably welled up inside her.

...Just friends, right?

Wait, what am I thinking?

Yukino quickly came to her senses and, unsure how to face Lin Qianshu, simply turned and walked towards Yuihama, saying as she went, "I stopped caring about what happened in elementary school a long time ago."

This is a lie.

If you really didn't care, why have I never seen you give Hayama a kind look? Your attitude towards Miura Yumiko seems to be better than Hayama's.

From the perspective of an ordinary bystander, Hayama didn't do anything wrong back then; he just misjudged human nature. But considering his age at the time, it's quite reasonable.

Apart from Yukino Yukinoshita, who was involved, no one else had the right to criticize Hayama's behavior.

But if Lin Qianshu were in Ye Shan's position back then, he would definitely have stood on Yukinoshita's side without hesitation.

After all, how could a mere elementary school classmate compare to Yukino Yukinoshita?

Not to mention that the two families are old friends, the two are simply not on the same level in terms of quality.

If Yukinoshita is a five-cost card, then those insects that bully her should be comparable to the minions in the neutral monster level. How can they be compared?

There's no comparison at all!

I can only say they're a bit out of their minds.

However, if Hayama had made that choice back then, there probably wouldn't be a Yukinoshita like this today.

The golden wish request on the other party's head might then be out of the question.

Thinking about this, Lin Qianshu suddenly realized that Ye Shan was actually a pretty good person.

Indeed, a person's stance is determined by their position, while Lin Qianshu's stance is determined by his willpower.

Chapter 134 New Ability: Current Control

After the fireworks were over and things were mostly cleaned up, it was almost midnight.

Since this was the last night of the camping trip, and they were returning to Chiba City the next morning, everyone seemed a little reluctant to leave. It seems that not only the elementary school students had a great time at the test of courage event, but the high school students also enjoyed it.

It's understandable if you think about it a little. In elementary school, they were the ones being tested on their courage, but now they're the ones testing others' courage. This kind of experience is quite novel for high school students.

People always enjoy doing bad things, and this applies to this situation as well.

But happiness isn't something everyone can share. At least, Hikigaya didn't feel happy. After all, no matter who diligently patrols in his patrol vest, the elementary school students he encounters don't even offer a word of thanks like "thank you for your hard work," and instead treat him like a ghost...

If he were really playing a ghost, he wouldn't feel so offended!

In the end, I should have just played a ghost, damn it!

When Lin Qianshu finally dragged him over to act as Kawasaki Saki's accomplice, he was somewhat looking forward to it, thinking it was time to show these amateurs what talent really was.

After waiting for a long time, they were told that it was already over.

Are you kidding me?! (Throws a punch)

So, how did the child end up?

After yesterday's meeting ended in discord, they said they would continue today, but there has been no news all night...

If it were an ordinary person, Hachiman would probably think that this matter would probably just pass by, but given the personalities of Chiki Hayashi and Yukino Yukinoshita, they would definitely not let it go so easily.

I just don't know how things will turn out.

He had previously seen Tsurumi Rumi's group at the bonfire party and sensed that the atmosphere within the group was quite unpleasant.

Is it really okay?

Thinking of this, Hachiman couldn't help but ask, "How's that kid who went to America?"

Lin Qianshu didn't expect Hachiman to suddenly ask about this, but he didn't think much of it and replied, "Well, I guess I'm following in your footsteps."

"Isn't that the end of us?" Yuihama, who was standing next to the two, asked with a worried expression after hearing the conversation.

"Hey, why does following in my footsteps mean certain death?" Hachiman felt there was something wrong with that statement.

“It’s not that bad,” Yukinoshita replied. “Although you might not be able to find friends, that strange trend of exclusion shouldn’t happen again.”

“I see… then at least it will be much easier. After all, it’s hard to always follow everyone’s opinions. I’ve experienced that myself, so I know it very well.”

Lin Qianshu thought that Yui Hama would feel that it would be even more pitiful if she couldn't find friends while studying in the United States, but she didn't expect her to answer like this.

In this light, Yukinoshita's earlier comment that Tsurumi Rumi resembled Yuihama was not entirely unfounded.

"Are you going back tomorrow?" Kawasaki Saki suddenly interjected.

Throughout the summer activities, she was probably the only one who diligently served as a volunteer. I didn't see her during the free time in the morning. I heard from Ebina that she seemed to be leading a group of elementary school students on an adventure in the woods.

In short, Kawasaki Saki is probably even more popular among these kids than Hayama, the nice guy.

The childcare skills are maxed out, that's for sure.

"Ms. Hiratsuka said that after we finish breakfast and pack our luggage tomorrow, she will take us back to the school gate," Yui Hama said.

"Time seems to fly by," Totsuka Saika remarked.

“Scientific research shows that time flies when you have something to do.” Hachiman pushed up his non-existent glasses.

Lin Qianshu rubbed his chin, realizing a blind spot, "Then when we get home, won't Hachiman's time be much slower than ours?"

"Yes, so I made a fortune." Hachiman was not ashamed, but rather proud.

Even Komachi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Go back and tell Mom to arrange something for your brother to do."

"Komachi, I am your brother, not your political enemy."

"The steaming of persimmons has always been done this way."

Upon hearing this, even Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Qianshu deliberately lagged behind and walked alongside Kawasaki Saki.

"How did you feel about this event?"

"Fortunately."

Perhaps feeling that such an answer was too perfunctory, Saki Kawasaki added, "It was very fulfilling and meaningful."

The significance refers to adding points to a student's resume.

What are your plans after you get back?

"Attending tutoring classes and taking care of my younger siblings."

When the topic of cram school came up, Saki Kawasaki was a little embarrassed. The girl lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the ground in front of her.

"Thank you so much for the tutoring class, the scholarship, the part-time job, and this event..."

The more Kawasaki Saki talked, the more she felt something was off. It seemed like she owed a lot of favors.

Are we even going to be able to handle this?

"We're classmates, it's normal to help each other." Lin Qianshu waved his hand with a smile, and after seeing a total of 4 wish points added to his account, he felt even less of a problem.

I have to help!

Kawasaki Saki's wish request is a blue wish request, which is also a phased task. The rewards will be calculated in stages after she receives a scholarship, successfully enrolls in a cram school, and is admitted to her desired university.

Kawasaki Saki has now successfully obtained a scholarship and, with Lin Qianshu's recommendation, enrolled in a fairly reliable tutoring institution, thus fulfilling the settlement conditions for the first two stages of the commission.

It directly brought him a reward of 4 points of willpower.

With these 4 Willpower Points, plus the Willpower Points that Hachiman gives him every now and then, Lin Qianshu has enough Willpower Points to draw his next ability.

The thought of acquiring a new superpower soon made Lin Qianshu hum softly.

On the other hand, they are only in their second year of high school, and scholarships are available almost every semester. So if Kawasaki Saki can get a scholarship every semester, wouldn't he be able to accumulate the corresponding wish points every time?

They might not give as much as the first time, but even if they only give a little, it's still a lot!

Lin Qianshu felt more and more hopeful as he thought about it, and his gaze towards Kawasaki Saki became somewhat envious, as these were all points of his wish power.

"I...Is there something on my face?" Kawasaki Saki felt weak all over from being stared at. She touched her pretty face and felt it was burning hot.

"No, I just think it's great that Saki's wish came true."

In an instant, when Kawasaki Saki saw Lin Qianshu's smile, she felt all the sounds around her fade away, leaving only an unknown buzzing sound mixed with the loud thumping of her heart echoing in her ears.

"Wait... for... you... this..."

Faced with Lin Qianshu's words, Kawasaki Saki didn't know how to respond. Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she couldn't organize any effective words at all.

"Saki, you should work hard from now on," Lin Qianshu encouraged.

“…Mmm,” Kawasaki Saki responded in a barely audible voice.

She then lowered her head and fell into a long silence. When she raised her head again to say something to Lin Qianshu, she found that he had already rejoined the group.

"call……"

The light blue-haired girl let out a soft breath, whether from relief or disappointment, it was hard to tell.

But soon she patted her pretty cheeks and encouraged herself.

Keep it up, Saki Kawasaki!
