In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

However, if we use a general, standardized standard to differentiate them, then there are only two main categories.

First, there are skills-based skills, such as combat, music, painting, and writing—both common and less common skills.

The second category is props, such as medicines, food, electronic products, and other items used in daily life.

How should points be priced?

Nangong Cheng had a very simple and straightforward idea.

Because the point-based pricing for skill-based items is fixed, the three levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—correspond to 1000, 5000, and 10000 points respectively.

The system defines the basic skill level as the highest level among amateur enthusiasts, the intermediate level as the highest level among professionals, and the advanced level as the pinnacle of human skill.

To put it simply—

Basic skills can crush ordinary people, intermediate skills can make one a master of the veil, and advanced skills can easily defeat everything.

Therefore, Nangong Cheng believes that if the pricing standards of skill-based products can be used for a horizontal comparison, the pricing of other products should be easier to understand.

In addition, the most expensive item in the system store is priced at 10 points, which can roughly determine the purchasing power of points and the cost-effectiveness of the item.

However, there are also some special products.

such as--

[Dark History Removal Card: This card removes your past controversies. The points required to redeem it depend on the severity of the controversies.]

From peeping at women bathing in the women's bathhouse when I was a child, to Gin strafing Tokyo Tower with a helicopter...

This thing can erase the memories of everyone who knows about a fact that the user doesn't want to exist, as if it never happened.

It belongs to the magical gadgets in Doraemon's possession that possess rule-level effects.

[Anime Quantity: As the name suggests, those who know, know. Points required for redemption: 5000]

[Kato Taka's Hand: Absolute skill, the pleasure that arises from it; perhaps it is your hands that will teach them love. Points required for redemption: 5000]

"There are also things like 'Lifan' (a type of Japanese opera)?"

Nangong Cheng was taken aback.

But considering that the system itself is shady, it's not surprising that there would be such things in the store.

[Face Camera: Only captures the appearance of attractive individuals; if someone isn't attractive enough, their face will disappear after the photo is taken. Points required for redemption: 500]

"This would be a perfect gift for Sakura Airi, but I'm worried that if I accidentally take a picture of No-Face, it might scare the child and make her cry."

Nangong Cheng adheres to the principle of sustainable development.

After all, the money comes from the sheep.

It has now been proven that the points awarded for a task are primarily linked to the difficulty of the task itself, and the difficulty of the task itself can change dynamically in real time due to the ideas of these beautiful girls.

From this perspective, the little sheep only need to focus on completing tasks and earning rewards, but the mastermind behind it all has many more things to consider.

When to issue tasks, how to create the right moment to issue tasks, and how to design the task content so that they neither want to accept nor refuse...

There are many intricacies involved in this.

Solving problems with formulas is fast.

"Netizens are right, people are always full of whimsical ideas when they're doing bad things."

Nangong Cheng sighed and glanced at it a few more times.

"Then let's start with basic acting skills this time."

The reason is simple: to get insurance.

He read a lot of online novels in his past life.

Simulation stories always claim that the simulation won't affect or interfere with reality, but in the end, they're just playing word games. Diary-style stories always end up having the female protagonists see the diary entries, and characters with a money-losing system always end up making money...

There is a possibility that this behind-the-scenes mastermind system, which claims it won't reveal its true identity, might actually do so.

Therefore, one must have complete control over one's own destiny in order to truly have a sense of security.

Nangong Cheng took a deep breath and then revealed a resolute expression.

"Dark Blue, add some points!"

This change is quite similar to the feeling I had when I took the gene-enhancing drug before.

While it doesn't directly make him seem like a born veteran actor, the immersive dream experience perfectly integrates knowledge and experience into his body's instincts.

...

...

The next day.

Nangong Cheng had just stepped into the classroom with his left foot.

"Nangong!"

Accompanied by a call, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

Kikyo Kushida and her friends surrounded them, looking quite anxious.

"Kushida-san, what's wrong?"

As he spoke, Nangong Cheng had already quickly scanned the class and had a general idea of ​​what was going on in his mind.

"Last night someone posted a message on the campus forum that mentioned the school was hiding some things from us..."

While speaking, Kikyo Kushida was also observing Makoto Nangong, trying to see the changes in the man's expression.

Unfortunately, Nangong Cheng not only has excellent time management skills, but after exchanging for [Beginner Acting Skills], his facial expression management skills are also quite good.

"I see, I understand now."

"So, everyone is now...?"

He had already seen Horikita Suzune sitting in her seat, surrounded by several students from Class D, whose expressions seemed rather unfriendly.

Was their intelligence-selling activities exposed?

That's normal.

Because the post was made anonymously.

The other three classes spent a lot of money to buy the intelligence, but less than 24 hours later, the intelligence was exposed on the forum. It's hard for them not to suspect that he and Horikita Suzune were betraying him after using him.

"Many students left messages on the forum saying that this was done by Nangong and Horikita."

"They say you and Horikita sold this information to them for 200 million points... Now everyone is waiting for your and Horikita's explanation."

Kikyo Kushida clasped her hands together in a prayer-like gesture, her face displaying just the right amount of worry: "Namiya-kun, is what they're saying true?"

Nangong Cheng nodded.

He was not surprised by this situation.

This year's students include intelligent little devils like Sakayanagi Arisu and ruthless individuals like Ryuen; given their style, they certainly won't let themselves suffer this loss for nothing.

Of course, the possibility that it was a spontaneous act by the students cannot be ruled out. After all, a normal person would feel resentful if they found out they had been tricked.

"I'll handle it."

Nangong Cheng strode onto the podium.

The students in Class D finally focused all their attention on him at this moment.

"Since you all know, I don't need to waste my time explaining the situation to you."

Nangong Cheng exchanged a glance with Horikita Suzune in the last row of the classroom, and also gave Sakura Airi, who was looking worried, a reassuring look.

Then a smug smile curled at the corner of his lips—

"Now, everyone will hand in 5 points."

Important Reminder & Reading Guidelines:

Last night until now, the author has made improvements and modifications to the system store and points-related settings.

Building on the previous text, this chapter also provides supplementary explanations regarding the purchasing power of points and how goods are priced.

Volume 1: 21. Money owed to one's own people should be returned in full.

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the classroom was also ignited.

The first to be affected was a certain hot-tempered redhead.

"Who the hell do you think you are, asking me for money? You think you're here to collect protection money?"

There's also the eye-catching duo with their bags.

"We haven't even mentioned that you and Horikita were sneaking around behind the class's backs to try and pocket all the points, and now you're trying to charge us money? Have you no shame?"

"Exactly! I think you two should split those 600 million points equally between us!"

"We've heard that 2000 million personal points can be used to transfer classes. What you two are doing is tantamount to betraying the class's interests, so you must split the money!"

Opposition is clearly in the majority, and even calls for a share of the profits are growing louder.

Nangong Cheng was not surprised by this.

Because he never intended to gain support from the beginning, he naturally had other plans when he said that.

Just as he was about to add fuel to the fire, the situation seemed to take an unexpected turn.

You have received a personal points payment.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, a cold, detached notification tone suddenly arose, chilling the atmosphere as if a pause button had been pressed.

“5W, I’ve transferred it.”

Horikita Suzune stood up from the silent crowd and identified the person who made the transfer.

Once there's a first, there will naturally be a second.

You have received a personal points payment.

"Me, me, me... I spun it too!"

Sakura Airi stood up shakily.

Although she didn't understand why Nangong Cheng did this, she knew that Nangong Cheng must have his reasons!

All I need to do is offer my support!

Kikyo Kushida saw all of this.

She naturally couldn't understand what was wrong with Nangong Cheng, and didn't want to take sides so quickly, for fear of affecting her status in the class.

But Horikita Suzune's actions served as a wake-up call for her.

It's okay if you don't understand.

The fact is that Nangong Cheng obtained important intelligence on his own and sold it for 600 million, which is enough to be convincing.

Furthermore.

She didn't want to lose to Horikita Suzune, even if she lost to anyone else.

Kikyo Kushida finally decided to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow.

You have received a personal points payment.

"I switched too."

Karuizawa Kei stood up despite the pressure.

Although she was a little apprehensive, her intuition told her that she couldn't go wrong by doing this.

"And let me also say something fair—why should Nangong share the money he earned through his own abilities with the class?"

Did you contribute?

"You know, according to the content of the post, our class has already lost a lot of class points."

"I'm asking you, the bunch of people who are shouting against it, how many of you dare to say that you haven't caused the class to lose points these past few days?"

"So if this post hadn't been exposed, it's uncertain whether we'd even have 5 points left to use next month... People like you who are dragging the team down still have the nerve to think about getting a share of the money."
