In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

"However, you can try the stress-relief method I mentioned. I'll send it to you and Kushida on my phone later, and you can see if it suits your situation."

Copy and paste, then send.

[Task assignment: Adopt the decompression method suggested by Nangong Cheng and decompress once, attaching a decompression experience of no less than 1000 words.]

[Task Reward: 500 points]

[Punishment for failing the task: Memorize and record the entire text of "I Really Want to Be Mr. Nangong Cheng's Dog" and post it on the campus forum]

Karuizawa Megumi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

"Karuizawa-san? Why are you suddenly blushing? Do you have a fever?"

Nangong Cheng was also curious as to why Karuizawa Kei suddenly blushed, since he hadn't even explained what kind of stress relief method she used.

Could it be that she guessed it?

That would make him quite an experienced miner.

"Ah! No, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered a slightly embarrassing dark history."

Karuizawa Kei hurriedly waved her hand at Nangong Cheng, explaining as she began to manually cool herself down.

"Since it's Nangong's suggestion, I'll definitely give it a try when I get back."

"Um... morning self-study is about to start, Nangong, you should go back to your seat quickly, or you'll get points deducted."

Nangong Cheng nodded.

Sending out two high-point tasks at once is a great start, and maybe today is just the right time for this kind of thing?

"What kind of stress relief method are you talking about?"

As soon as I sat down, Horikita Suzune came over to chat with me.

Nangong Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"That's not common. You don't usually seem like you need to de-stress."

Horikita Suzune shook her head: "I've noticed that you seem to have a really serious stereotype about me."

"Since you were able to say those things back then, you couldn't possibly not know how much pressure I was putting on myself."

Nangong Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, he admitted that he initially viewed Horikita Suzune with prejudice, and his stereotypes were spot on.

Thinking about it carefully, in order to catch up with Horikita Manabu (in her opinion), Horikita Suzune almost turned herself into a self-disciplined robot.

It's unrealistic to say that she felt no pressure at all.

Only those who have truly pursued a goal can understand how desperate and powerless it feels when you find that no matter how hard you try, you can't close the gap, or even fall further behind.

The pressure was so high it exploded.

I understand what you mean.

"But the way I described for relieving stress is really not suitable for you... to be precise, it's not suitable for you right now."

Horikita Suzune frowned.

She didn't quite understand, but Nangong Cheng seemed unwilling to continue the conversation.

In that case, perhaps she could ask Karuizawa Kei later; she happens to have something she wanted to discuss with her.

The morning self-study session passed quickly.

It was another dull and boring morning.

Nangong Cheng plans to go back and directly exchange all the high school subjects for knowledge. If that doesn't work, he'll just send a daily task to Horikita Suzune to be his home tutor.

"Sakura-san, it's time to eat."

Perhaps it's time to let Airi Sakura have lunch with him in her Shizuku form; this image of her wearing glasses and deliberately trying to look like a country bumpkin doesn't whet his appetite.

Sakura Airi stood up with Nangong Cheng, and under the gazes cast from behind, she left the classroom with a sense of stealth.

Rooftop.

Although it isn't now, it might really become the place where Makoto enjoys fighting in the future.

But for now, this is just the second canteen.

"What are we eating today?"

"Yes, what should we eat..."

Sakura Airi is also a hidden sufferer of decision-making difficulties, and in the end, Nangong Makoto just randomly picked one item from the bento boxes he bought.

Of course, milk tea is also indispensable.

“Sakura-kun, I think you need to try to change yourself. For example, when it’s just the two of us during lunch break, you can change into a different look.”

“…I…I’m afraid someone might suddenly come up here,” Sakura Airi explained, her head bowed.

But she quickly added, "For example, if you want to see them, Nangong... I'll take more photos when I get back to the dorm and show them to you."

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today."

Nangong Cheng handed over the lunchbox.

I just stood up Sakura Airi yesterday, so I'll make up for it today.

“Something came up yesterday and made you wait another day. I’ll go with you to buy a camera after school today.”

"But you probably don't have enough points, right? I remember that these kinds of electronic products are usually not cheap."

Sakura Airi silently nodded and accepted the bento box.

"I... I can buy an entry-level model."

Now she just wants to spend more time with Nangong Cheng, and buying a camera has become a secondary matter.

Anyway, it's the same to buy a better camera once I have enough points.

"But I feel the quality of the entry-level model isn't very good... How about this, I'll borrow some points from you, Sakura-kun, and buy the best one directly."

"Then I won't need to pay you back any points. I just need to periodically let you take some photos of Sakura-kun in a different state with my digital camera."

"As for the price... it can be calculated either based on the number of days, sessions, or duration of the shoot, or it can be calculated per photo."

"What do you think, Sakura-san?"

Sakura Airi felt that Nangong Cheng was too good to her.

It was so good that she began to doubt her own existence, wondering if she was actually dreaming, and if the so-called system was just something she had imagined due to excessive mental stress.

Does a socially awkward, invisible person who can't stand the light dream of a sunny, cheerful, gentle, and handsome young man?

But looking at the lunchbox in her hand, she remembered what Nangong Cheng had said during lunch break yesterday, and blushed as she asked:

"Hmm... I'll do whatever Nangong says."

"And, and that...that thing from yesterday...do we still need to do it?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sakura-san."

Since the girl not only agreed to his somewhat abrupt suggestion, but also offered to feed him, Nangong Cheng naturally stopped pretending.

I simply copied and pasted the task and posted it (see Chapter 22, no more padding).

1000 points are earned effortlessly.

However, to his regret, Sakura Airi was still missing the most crucial element when drinking milk tea.

Well, to be precise, there was too much fabric.

However, there is also surveillance on the rooftop, so this level of coverage is sufficient. Anything beyond that would be private, paid content.

Volume 1: 33. Photography is great, you have to learn photography.

Good things come to those who wait.

To prevent any trouble, Nangong Cheng took Sakura Airi directly to the electronics store after school.

The store staff has been replaced by a beautiful, sweet-voiced young woman who looks like she just graduated from university.

It seems that the school's response was very quick, and the problem was solved without the need for the high school detective to come to the scene to assist in the investigation.

Liked.

"Hello, we can choose ourselves."

After saying that, Nangong Cheng pulled Sakura Airi toward the shelf where the digital cameras were located.

Since everything had been arranged beforehand, Airi Sakura didn't hesitate and directly chose a brand she had long admired.

Nangong Cheng thought about it briefly and then chose a digital camera and a laptop computer that offered good value for money.

Don't ask, the answer is that it's very useful.

"Hello, checkout please."

Scan the code, pay, and leave.

Next stop—

"Nan, Nangong classmate... do you really have to buy it?"

Sakura Airi stood at the entrance of the clothing store with a hesitant and shy expression.

"Buy it, we have to buy it. If we're going to buy a camera to take pictures, we definitely need clothes to look good in photos too."

Cheng Ge never jokes.

Wasn't this the very thing he'd been subtly guiding Sakura Airi through her missions these past few days?

As for the points consumed?

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't need this thing at all, it's just a bunch of numbers in his hand, so he should definitely spend it to please himself.

Anyway, all kinds of silk and cosplay clothes, as long as they can increase attack speed, critical hit rate, and critical damage, will be used sooner or later.

If you don't buy it now, you'll have to buy it later anyway, so why not buy it now and enjoy it sooner?

"I'll cover the points, you just need to buy."

"Hi, miss, could you please help my friend pick out a few outfits that fit well? Money is no object!"

Sakura Airi was originally a soft-spoken girl with little opinion, but after being so insistent on by Nangong Cheng, she had no choice but to go with the sales assistant to pick out clothes.

But after seeing the clothes recommended by the sales assistant, she instantly transformed into a steam girl, so excited that she would stammer and then stop.

"Um... do you have any clothes that have a bit more fabric?"

The saleswoman gave me a knowing look.

"Little sister, you can rest assured and trust your older sister's judgment and experience."

"With a figure like yours, if you wore these clothes... tsk tsk, I guarantee your boyfriend would be so infatuated with you that he'd want to die on your belly."

No way, how could a clothing store located right on a school campus have clothes like this?!

Sakura Airi felt a sharp explosion in her mind.

"Um...he's not my boyfriend..."

"Oh dear, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway. I've been through this before. This little brother of yours is obviously interested in you. Just take the initiative and it'll be a done deal."

Then some innocent girls blushed at the crude talk, and Sakura Airi, confused, nodded unconsciously.

She only came to her senses after being taken to the fitting room, looking at the pile of "clothes" in her hands with tears welling up in her eyes, which contained not much fabric than the school uniform she was wearing.

Her first instinct was to bury her head in the sand and send a distress message to Nangong Cheng, but something even more disastrous was about to happen—

[Task assignment: Invite Nangong Cheng into the fitting room and have him take photos of you trying on clothes using your newly purchased digital camera.]

[Task Reward: 1000-5000 points depending on the size of the photo]

Invite Nangong to the fitting room?

They even made him take photos of himself trying on clothes?!

Doesn't that mean they'll be seen naked?

This kind of thing... this kind of thing...
