I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

Su You couldn't continue reading because she had to support Gui Yanye.

He handed the book to Katsura Kotonoha: "Although it's written by a new author and the sales don't seem to be very good, I quite like the style and content of this book. You can give it a try."

"Ah."

Katsura Kotonoha took the book and opened it.

This was the first time she had ever experienced being supported while reading in a crowded train carriage.

But it felt good and reassuring.

At first, Katsura Kotonoha simply enjoyed the sense of security of being protected, and only casually read the books.

But after reading a few pages, she gradually became engrossed.

Campus romance light novels are obviously very attractive to girls, especially those who are just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

Su You looked down at Katsura Kotonoha, silently thinking to herself:

It's amazing how quickly it has captivated Katsura Kotonoha; this light novel is definitely of high quality, it just lacks recommendations right now.

The subway will be arriving at the station soon.

Seeing that Katsura Kotonoha seemed completely oblivious, Su You reminded her, "Katsura Kotonoha, it's time to get off the bus."

"Ah? Ah!"

Katsura Kotonoha snapped out of her daze, blushing slightly, and whispered, "Sorry, I just..."

Su You smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm happy to see that you also like the books I enjoy reading."

Katsura Kotonoha raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

This seems to be a habitual action of hers.

She said softly, "This book is really good. I'll go to the bookstore to support the author after school this afternoon."

Su You looked at her and said, "There's no need to go to such trouble."

Katsura Kotonoha paused, then asked, "Huh?"

Su You said mysteriously, "I'll show you a magic trick."

"magic?"

Katsura Kotonoha couldn't help but think of the piece of chewing gum that Su You had given her when they first met.

Although it's just ordinary chewing gum, it tastes very sweet.

Su You gently shook her hand, and suddenly a book appeared in her hand.

This is a new book with its cover still shrink-wrapped—"Love Metronome".

Su You bought two books from the bookstore yesterday; this is the other one.

Katsura Kotonoha's eyes widened involuntarily: "Huh!"

That's magic! Amazing! I can't even tell where Su You came from!

Su You said to her, "Since you like reading it, then this new book is for you, Katsura Kotonoha."

Katsura Kotonoha shook her head instinctively: "This, this won't do..."

Su You looked at her and said seriously, "Katsura Kotonoha-san, we're friends, right?"

Katsura Kotonoha met his eyes, which seemed unusually bright today, and momentarily lost in thought. Then, blushing slightly, she lowered her head and whispered, "Of course, we're friends."

Su You smiled and said, "Since we're friends, there's no need to fuss over such a small thing. Just give me another book you like to read next time."

Katsura Kotonoha thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.

She reached out and carefully took the book, saying in an unusually serious tone, "Um... I will cherish this book. Next time, I will give Su You a gift in return."

【Ding--】

Su You glanced at her system wallet.

[0 gold coins, 1 silver coins, 16 copper coins].

I received Katsura Kotonoha's friend fee today.

He nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

The subway has arrived at the station, and the doors have opened.

Su You saw her off at the car and said goodbye.

Through the window, he saw Katsura Kotonoha standing on the platform, silently watching in his direction.

Chapter 26 The Library Murder Case

Fengzaki.

When the first class ended, Su You went to see Kato Megumi and traded a piece of chewing gum for her friend's fee for the day.

Current Wallet: 0 Gold Coins, 1 Silver Coins, 26 Bronze Coins

The entire process takes no more than fifteen seconds.

Huihui is so kind.

If all the other female leads were as cooperative as she was.

Su You sighed inwardly, returned to her seat, and continued reading "Love Metronome".

He plans to finish reading this light novel in the next couple of days so that he can easily connect with the author, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and also communicate with Katsura Kotonoha, who is also reading the book.

The weather is very sunny today.

The rooftop is unbearably hot; it's definitely impossible to stay there.

Su You chose to eat a set meal at the cafeteria.

We have physical education class in the afternoon.

Su You went to the locker room to change clothes with the other students beforehand.

When they gathered on the playground, Su You looked at the girls.

They all changed into gymnastics uniforms.

She's pretty, but unfortunately, no one in the class can compare to Katsura Kotonoha in terms of figure.

The girls were chattering away, giggling and pointing out the boys' figures.

Some boys were smug, while others were sighing.

Su You didn't care about this. Although his current physique wasn't outstanding, he was already following a reasonable diet and exercise regimen.

Three years of high school is enough time for him to develop a well-proportioned and muscular physique.

After gathering, everyone did warm-up exercises with the PE teacher, followed by free time to play basketball, soccer, badminton, baseball, etc.

Su You didn't have many friends in her class, and she wasn't very interested in team sports. She would run laps alone on the track and field.

For now, running is arguably the most suitable form of exercise for him.

No expensive equipment or special venues are needed; as long as he has a suitable pair of running shoes, he can run anytime, anywhere.

I'll find a better gym later and do some strength training to target different parts of my body.

After running laps, Su You went to the equipment area near the horizontal bar, stretched her legs, and did some pull-ups.

After PE class, Su You went to the locker room to change back into her clothes.

Back in the classroom, he felt a little tired and began to consider whether he should go to the market to work part-time cleaning fish that afternoon.

Based on yesterday's experience of killing fish, if Su You only kills large fish, he can earn about one silver coin per hour.

This is his main way of making money right now.

He has to go to school from Monday to Friday, so he only has one or two hours each afternoon to spend money like this.

So, even though you're tired after exercising, you should still go and kill the fish.

The initial accumulation stage is like this...

Su You sighed helplessly.

It would be great if the money earned from "checking in" on the female characters could be a little more.

Although it could be a steady stream of income, ten copper coins were simply not enough.

I wonder if there's any way to increase this number.

Right now, I'm only having minimal physical contact with the female characters... Is that why the system gives me the lowest level of rewards every day?

An idea involuntarily surfaced in Su You's mind.

If I engage in more intimate physical contact with them, will the system give me more rewards?

Su You turned her head and glanced at Kato Megumi in the back row.

This question has no answer yet.

He couldn't possibly just suddenly run over and force a kiss on Kato Megumi, could he?

The school will call the police if that happens.

Let's leave this question for later when we have the opportunity to test it.

--

After school, Su You went straight to the vegetable market.

"Uncle Takagi! Good afternoon! I'm here to help out again!"

"Brother Su You! School's out!"

"I want to kill a big fish."

"Good good!"

Uncle Takagi had a big smile on his face.

Although he paid Su You an hourly wage that was higher than the average hourly wage in Tokyo, with Su You's help, he sold more fish.

Even after deducting this wage, he would still make a profit.

This is a win-win situation for both parties.

Su You worked here for an hour and a half and earned 164 copper coins.

Current Wallet: 0 Gold Coins, 2 Silver Coins, 90 Bronze Coins.

Including the fees paid to Katsura Kotonoha and Kato Megumi, he has almost earned back the money he spent on the "Eye Health Exercises" yesterday.

Uncle Takagi was also very generous, giving Su You 2400 yen and also giving him a piece of sea bream that hadn't been sold and weighed almost a pound.

Su You was in a good mood as she left the market.

Uncle Takagi is someone I can get along with.

I boarded the subway.

Su You took out the book "Love Metronome" and read for a while. When her eyes felt sore, she put it back in her bag and started doing regular eye exercises.

He was replicating what he had done on the subway yesterday, hoping to trigger the system's "advertisement" again.

After finishing her eye exercises, Su You opened her eyes.

Nothing happened.

It seems the same approach is ineffective for "advertising".

Or perhaps he has already bought the "Eye Health Exercises" and no longer needs them, which is why the "advertisement" didn't appear.

Su You took out her phone and searched for "Mihua Library" again, and found that related news reports had appeared.

The mysterious death of the director of the Mika Library leads to a shocking drug smuggling case uncovered in the autopsy.

Beika City News – This morning, Hideharu Tsugawa, the 50-year-old director of the Beika Library, was found dead in the library's elevator. Preliminary police investigations suggest poisoning as the cause of death, and suspicious items were found at the scene. An autopsy revealed high levels of heroin in his system. Police subsequently conducted a thorough search of the library, discovering large quantities of drugs hidden in multiple book compartments. Police suspect Tsugawa of a long-term involvement in drug smuggling, and the case is under further investigation. It is reported that Tsugawa had contact with unidentified individuals the day before his death, and police are appealing to the public for information.

Su You looked at the news on her phone, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

So, Tsugawa Hideji had already died this morning?

The police must have kept the news under wraps during the day, waiting until the results of the library search came out, a large amount of drugs were seized, and the evidence was conclusive before revealing the truth to the public.
