Toru Watanabe stared at the blackboard intently. Suddenly, a light blue, almost transparent panel popped up above the math teacher's cursive handwriting.
He blinked, lowered his head and wrote in his notebook: There are three ways to represent a set: enumeration, description...
"Pah"
The pen core broke, and a small spot on the white notebook was stained black by lead powder.
Watanabe pressed the end of the pencil, but the lead didn't come out. He took out a spare 0.5 mm lead from the pencil case, inserted it into the tip of the pen like threading a needle, and then filled in the "method" of "describe the law" in the notebook.
During this time, the light blue, almost transparent panel was always within his sight.
Awakening the system now? Isn't it too late?
Toru Watanabe was reborn in a remote village where the bus only runs every two hours. When he was old enough to go to kindergarten, he finally gave up his unrealistic fantasies such as "the system", "awakening a stand after being shot by an arrow", "aliens", "people from the future", and "people with super powers".
He decided to study hard.
In that village, there was a school with only five people in total, including the kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school, including the teachers. After hard self-study, Toru Watanabe took the entrance examination for the current key high school in Tokyo and was admitted with the third highest score in the school.
His next life goal is the University of Tokyo.
After graduation, you will take the civil service examination and then let taxpayers support you for the rest of your life.
But now, I have worked hard for a long time, planned for the future, and prepared to endure hardships, but the system comes?
If you want to come, do it sooner. If you don't want to come, just don't come. What's going on?
Watanabe Toru finished his math class seriously - fortunately this panel would not affect his vision, otherwise he would really be angry.
The last time he got angry was yesterday, when his class teacher informed him that all students in this school must join clubs and are not allowed to leave school early.
I should have gone to Guangming High School next door.
Not only are the female students wearing super cute sailor uniforms, but students can also join the Homecoming Club. The more Watanabe Toru thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes.
From this we can conclude: No matter how many times you start your life over again, there will always be regrets.
As for those who claim that if they could start over again, they would have no regrets in life, Toru Watanabe can bluntly say that they are all liars or idiots with poor memory.
Math class was the last one in the morning. When the teacher just announced the end of get out of class and the classroom was still as quiet as before, Kunii Osamu shouted:
"Watanabe! Saito! Let's go eat!"
The math teacher, who was about to leave the classroom, glanced at Kunii Osamu with dissatisfaction through his reading glasses.
"Can you lower your voice a little, you bastard?" Saito Keisuke scolded with a smile, and then said, "What are we having today? Set meal? Ramen? Or bread?"
"Hand-Pulled Noodle!"
"Okay, I decided to eat bread."
"Saito, you are asking for a fight, Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
"Damn it, he caught them all! Look at me, I'm haunted by evil spirits!"
"It's far from enough, Xiu! Take my Hell-killing Knife!"
"Hey, the back of my neck?! Keisuke, why are you still attacking me? We agreed not to allow physical attacks!"
Toru Watanabe closed his textbook, stood up, and left the classroom with his classmates as they looked at him as if he were an oddball.
These two were friends that Toru Watanabe made in high school. They usually ate together and discussed animation, comics, light novels, beauties, and the like.
On Saturdays and Sundays when Watanabe Toru is not working, they would also go out to play.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, the three of them finally ordered a 400 yen grilled meat set meal - grilled meat, grilled mushrooms, salad, rice and miso soup.
Kuni Osamu ate his rice with big mouthfuls and said incoherently, "Are we going to the arcade after school today?"
"I can." Saito Keisuke nodded, "By the way, Watanabe, are you going to work after school on Wednesday?"
"It should be like this." Toru Watanabe took a bite of the barbecue and felt that the taste was just average.
"So? What happened?" asked Keisuke Saito.
"Is it a date? Is this day finally here?" Kunii Osamu wailed, "Watanabe is going to be the first man among the three of us!"
Saito Keisuke turned his head curiously and looked at Watanabe Toru: "Is that so? Who is the other party? Which class is he from? What does he look like?"
"That's not the case. Mr. Koizumi gave me an order that I must join the club today."
"This matter. Tsk, so boring." Kunijimasu continued to eat rice in big mouthfuls. After he finished the rice, he started to eat the barbecue and salad.
Weird enough about this guy.
Saito Keisuke said, "How about coming to the computer research club? There aren't any cute girls there, but you can play a lot of games for free."
"Come to the baseball club, Watanabe, let me lead you into Koshien and become a rising star!" Kunii Osamu said with great momentum.
Watanabe Toru said calmly: "Aren't you still delivering water and towels to your seniors in the second year of high school?"
"This is only temporary! The Minister told me secretly that he will let me participate in training next week!"
"Really?" Toru Watanabe felt that the salad was okay and the vegetables were fresh enough.
"Hey, I'm serious! The Minister really told me that!"
"Okay, okay, stop making so much noise." Saito Keisuke said as he picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup.
After lunch there is an hour lunch break. In the past, the three of them would get together and chat , but today Watanabe Toru decided to go to the club first.
"Shall we go with you?" Saito Keisuke said.
"No need." Watanabe Toru waved his hand, "You guys go back to the classroom first."
"Okay then."
After separating from the two, on the way to the club building, Watanabe Toru took the time to study the system.
The words [Panel] and [Mall] are highlighted.
He tried to open the panel with his mind and it opened smoothly.
【Character: Toru Watanabe】
[Age: 15 years old]
[Intelligence: 7]
【Charm: 8】
[Physical Strength: 3]
[Item: None]
[Skills: None]
[Points: 100]
【Money: 154,650 yen】
The average is five points.
From this perspective, he is smart and handsome, and there is no problem with him being outpaced by girls in a long-distance race.
In terms of skills, Toru Watanabe has not found any special strengths so far.
He clicked on [Mall] again.
[Item: Detector (Original Price: 1000/Special Price: 100)]
【Money: 100 yen/1 point】
[Intelligence: 1 point/100,000 points]
[Charm: 1 point/10,000 points]
[Physical Strength: 1 point/5,000 points]
[Skills: Beginner - Writing (100), Master - Photo Editing (1000), Proficient - Cooking (10,000), Master - Fishing (100,000)]
There are only 100 points, and it looks like they are used to buy a detector of unknown use.
Watanabe searched for a full minute and finally found the [Supplementary Provisions] menu button that was so transparent that it was almost invisible.
This kind of routine clearly contains rules that are designed to trick players.
【Supplementary Provisions】
{1. Player death has nothing to do with this game, and there is no obligation to revive; (Injuries can be repaired, please explore the way yourself)}
“……” Toru Watanabe looked at this clause and fell into deep thought.
｛2. Before attacking an object, it is recommended to use a detector to check whether it is an attackable object (detectors can be purchased in the mall)｝
｛3. Add one item purchase option every month;｝
｛4. There is no upper limit on the exchange of money, so it can be used safely in real life;｝
{5. After intelligence, charm, and physical strength reach 10 points, the exchange points will double;}
{6. Skills will be randomly refreshed at the end of each month;}
{7. Each time you refresh a skill, you will get one entry-level skill, one mastery skill, one proficiency skill, and one master skill. The price remains the same;}
{8. Entry-level skills correspond to the general college graduate level, mastery level corresponds to industry personnel, proficiency corresponds to industry elites, and master corresponds to the human limit level;}
{9. When exchanging intelligence, players need to choose the specific knowledge or skills they need to be good at (for example, if they choose painting, the player will become a genius in painting, and the upper limit may exceed the master level);}
…
{997. Players are obliged to keep this game confidential;}
{998. Out of consideration for the basic spirit of human rights, players can freely choose whether to attack or not;}
{999. After the strategy is successfully completed, all consequences will be borne by the player himself;}
｛1000. All rights of interpretation belong to this game. ｝
There were ten densely packed pages. In order to finish reading them, Watanabe stood stupidly in the corridor between the teaching building and the club building for more than ten minutes.
After reading it carefully, Toru Watanabe had a general understanding of the game.
If he can capture a woman and make her sincerely agree to be his girlfriend, he can get game points.
Game points can do almost anything you want, of course this requires a bit of luck - to see if the skills you get are powerful enough and whether they are what you want.
This is forcing players to become scumbags.
Toru Watanabe didn't know what to say about this game, but he exchanged for the [Detector] with the mentality that there was no punishment anyway and it would be no harm to give it a try.
[Detector: Can view female information (3/3 times)]
Just then a female student walked past Watanabe Toru and he clicked to use it.
