People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Just one option, but it gives out five rewards!

Option three goes without saying.

Full tuition coverage plus a 100,000 yen reward was a fatal temptation for a poor guy like him.

Weigh the pros and cons and analyze quickly.

After thinking for a moment and looking at the options again, Aoki decided without hesitation to stick to his dream of studying at the University of Tokyo.

The requirements for the second option were a bit too outrageous, and coupled with the hint at the bottom of the panel, Aoki Jie really didn't dare to consider it.

Of course, even without that hint, Aokisuke wouldn't have given it much thought.

After all, he really couldn't say such slanderous words, not to mention that it might bring a stain to his future political career.

But do I really want to go into politics? Being a writer or musician seems like a good idea too. If I go into politics, maybe I'll even end up working with that cancer of the earth, Fujiwara Chika...

His thoughts wandered for a moment, and after a moment he came back to his senses. He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of the bar and organized his words.

Then, after pondering for a while and coming up with some ideas in his mind, Aoki spoke.

"I've almost gotten over it. It's okay. But... speaking of which, Ms. Hiratsuka, you're a teacher at Shuka Private Academy, right?"

"Ah... yes." The topic jumped a bit. Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was still blaming herself, was stunned for a moment and then responded.

"oh....."

Nodding, Aokisuke decisively changed his address and continued, "Teacher Hiratsuka, I heard that the teaching resources at Xiuhua Private High School are much better than most high schools in Tokyo. Is that true?"

"That's indeed what we say." Hiratsuka Shizuka replied.

After getting the answer, Aokisuke continued to ask, "Then the admission requirements must be very strict, right? For example, expensive tuition? Or high academic performance requirements?"

“The tuition is not too expensive, but it does require a high level of academic performance.”

"I see."

Aokisuke nodded again and then fell silent for a while.

The atmosphere became slightly quieter.

Then, after a moment of silence, he turned his gaze towards Shizuka Hiratsuka again and spoke again.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, although I come from an orphanage in the countryside, my academic performance is actually not bad. The teaching resources of the private Chengcheng High School cannot compare with Xiuhua High School. If possible... I would like to transfer to Xiuhua."

The voices stopped.

Looking at the cocktail beside her, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not respond immediately.

As if she was thinking, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing that the older teacher in front of him began to consider, Aokijie did not hesitate and added decisively,

"I can take the test or the entrance exam. My grades are definitely fine."

Shizuka Hiratsuka comes from a wealthy family, which can be seen from the car she drives. With her ability, it is definitely not difficult for her to get a transfer student into Xiuhua Private High School.

Not to mention just providing an opportunity for admission.

Listening to the voice beside his ears and looking into Aoki's eyes, Hiratsuka pondered for a while before asking,

"Aoki-san, are you serious?"

Aokijie nodded, without shifting his gaze at all.

Shizuka Hiratsuka continued, "Tuition... Although Xiuhua's tuition is not high, it is still more than that of private Johsei High School..."

"I will take care of the tuition myself." Aokisuke replied.

"..."

Looking at the serious attitude of the young man in front of her, Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath after making sure that he was not making fun of her.

"Then... give me your phone number and I'll help you find a solution," she said. "But let me make it clear in advance, I can probably only find a way to help you get a chance to take the entrance exam. Without any backdoors... whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

Chapter 8: Temporarily returning to daily life or not returning to daily life for the time being

As expected, Shizuka Hiratsuka agreed to Aokisuke's request.

After she responded and accepted the request, a crisp reminder sounded in Aokisuke's mind at the right time -

Because option three was successfully completed, the reward issued by the system arrived in a timely manner.

Without counting the rewards immediately, he first expressed his gratitude very seriously, and then Aokisuke chatted with Hiratsuka Jing for a few words.

After a while, after the responsible teacher said, "Then I'll help you find a solution and won't disturb your work," Aoki watched her leave the bar.

Until Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed the door and walked out of the bar, the glass of Margarita on the table had never been touched again.

......

After seeing off Shizuka Hiratsuka, it was not too early. The number of customers at 'morke' gradually began to fill up, and the waiter and bartender Aokisuke also became a little busy.

Aokiji put the matter of counting the system rewards aside temporarily because he was busy mixing drinks, and it lasted until after one in the morning -

The proprietress returned to the bar to take over, and Aoki Suke finally had some free time.

After changing back into the student uniform of the private city high school in the utility room and saying goodbye to the proprietress, he walked out of the bar.

The temperature in the early morning of late spring is definitely not high. When the cool breeze blows, you can even feel a hint of chill.

But Aoki Jie didn't care at all at this time.

After 'morke' got off work, he took advantage of the free time on his way to the apartment to briefly count the rewards issued by the system after completing option three.

There was actually an extra 100,000 yen in the bank card, and in my pocket, there was an extra bank card with 2.5 million yen in it that could only be used to pay tuition.

Feeling the sudden heavy weight in his pocket, Aoki Jie felt like crying on the way back to the apartment.

It was worth it that he persisted for so long, the hard days of eating cheap lunch boxes every meal were finally coming to an end!

My mood improved a lot, and even my steps became lighter.

Continuing to walk towards the "slums" of Shibuya, after counting the rewards, Aokisuke began to consider his future arrangements.

There are still 100 points left in the system that have not been used. Aoki Jie plans to use these 100 points to exchange for a complete music score and lyrics.

He gained popularity on the Internet through his 'original' songs and [Guitar Performance (Master)], and then made profits from this popularity.

Although making profits by plagiarism is not a very glorious method, after all, this world does not have musicians or music groups such as 'Kenshi Yonezu' or 'YOSOBI'. Rounding it off, Aoki Suke can be said to have contributed to the music industry in this parallel world.

After silently comforting himself for half a minute and then silently blaming himself for another half a minute, Aoki Jie temporarily put the "disgraceful" matter aside.

Considering that singing and playing are needed to increase popularity, music scores and lyrics alone are obviously not enough.

Without a guitar, all of the above assumptions are just assumptions.

So, although he felt sad, after careful consideration, Aoki decided to use the cash reward issued by the system to buy a guitar that was not too expensive but not too cheap.

If I want to buy a guitar, I'll probably need to take a day off from work tomorrow, but that would be a good time to go to the nearby park and look for wild Pochi-chan...

After a while of wandering thoughts in his mind and walking for a while, Aokisuke finally rushed back to his rented apartment.

After entering the door, it was already a little after two o'clock.

In order not to delay his studies and stay in 200% condition in class, Aokisuke took a quick shower and lay down on the bed.

......

One night without words, the next day.

He was woken up by the alarm clock at seven in the morning. He washed up in a daze in the small space. After he woke up a little, Aokisuke used his mobile phone to send a message to the convenience store owner and the bar owner, saying that he wanted to take a day off.

After getting the consent, he dragged himself out of the apartment building.

In order to save money, he skipped breakfast. After class in the morning, during lunch break, Aoki bought some fried noodles and bread to satisfy his hunger.

Normal classes in the afternoon lasted until three o'clock, and with the ringing of the school club activity bell, Aoki Jie's day on campus came to an end.

Because he has obtained a part-time job certificate from the school, Aokisuke does not have to participate in club activities. He can go home directly during club activity time or go to a part-time job.

Because he had asked for leave from the convenience store owner in the morning, after school, Aokisuke did not take the tram to the convenience store to work as usual.

After a quick search on Google Maps for nearby reputable musical instrument stores and determining his destination, he followed the navigation and began his journey.

Transfer to the tram for two stops and walk about one kilometer.

It took about half an hour for Aokisuke to arrive at a musical instrument store located at the intersection in front of Shibuya Station, with a sign called "SoundColor".

The intersection in front of Shibuya Station is extremely busy, so the decoration of a musical instrument store that can open in this location is naturally good.

Pushing the door and walking into the store, Aokisuke looked around with a little curiosity.

The store is not too big, but the interior decoration is very exquisite, with a neat layout and harmonious decoration. The whole room is in cool colors. At this time, a high-end violin piece is playing in the store.

Aokisuke was not familiar with the decoration, so after just a quick look around, he looked away and turned his attention back to the musical instruments.

At the same time, the salesperson on the side of the store noticed Aokisuke and walked over.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The salesperson walked up to Aokisuke and stopped at a just the right distance before speaking.

Looking at the shopping guide who came next to him, Aokijie pondered for a moment.

Although he does have master-level guitar playing skills, in fact, apart from the playing techniques, Aokisuke knows nothing about the guitar.

He had no idea about the model, material, or whether it was suitable.

In other words, Aoki Jie didn't know how to answer the question asked by the shopping guide.

So, after a few seconds of silence, he simply said one word,

"Guitar."

The shopping guide next to him blinked.

She remained silent for a while, as if waiting for Aokisuke to add the rest of his words. After a while, when she was sure that the boy in front of her was only going to say one word, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Well... what are your specific requirements? Like, a guitar that's more suitable for beginners? Or what's your budget..."

Frowning slightly, Aoki Jie thought for a moment.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to set the budget at around 6 yen. Just as he was about to speak to the shopping guide, a voice interrupted him.

"what......"

The voice came from a young girl, and her tone was a little lazy, with a hint of coolness mixed in the laziness.

The tone seemed to be a little surprised, but there seemed to be no emotional ups and downs.

"You are the guitar expert who was tricked by Hong Xia into helping out for free."

Chapter 9 Life Goals—To Be Determined

Even without looking back, Aokisuke could tell who was speaking behind him just by listening to the tone and content of the words.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Aokisuke turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice.

She has short light blue hair and an extremely delicate face. Although her face does not have any unnecessary expressions, it is so beautiful that she looks like a work of art.

Just as I imagined, it was Yamada Ryo who spoke.

"If Ijichi-san heard what you just said, she would definitely hit you on the head with a drumstick, right?" After turning his gaze to Yamada Ryo, Aokisuke started to complain.

Yamada Ryo blinked and didn't respond to Aokisuke's words. Instead, he changed the subject and ignored his complaints. "Aoki-san, are you here to buy musical instruments?"

"Well, I'm going to buy a guitar..."

Without paying any more attention to Liang's somewhat off-topic words just now, Aokijie followed the topic and responded.

But just as he responded, looking at the exquisite-looking girl in front of him, Aokijie suddenly realized that although Liang's personality was despicable from the inside out, her knowledge of musical instruments was extremely high.

And she happened to have heard her play and knew her guitar skills, so if she asked Liang to help her choose a guitar...

When his eyes turned to Yamada Ryo, there was a gleam in Aoki's eyes.

"The evil look in your eyes is too obvious..." Yamada Ryo took a half step back expressionlessly.

"How could I possibly have any ill intentions?" Aokisuke waved his hand and gave a polite smile, "I just... simply wanted to ask Yamada-san for a small favor."
