Chapter 100

"Speak."

"If you are this violent, it will be hard for you to find a man in the future..."

"Whoosh..."

The fist wind whistled by, and Lin Ye tilted his head to avoid it.

"Good reaction. Next time, it won't be this simple."

Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled back her fist, leaned in, and whispered into Lin Ye's ear.

"If you can attract Yukinoshita, that won't be a problem."

*Shocked.*

Wasn't she hinting at him like crazy?

And with this distance, Lin Ye was certain Yukinoshita could hear it too.

Their eyes met and then quickly shifted away.

As expected of Hiratsuka Shizuka, killing two birds with one stone—using this to make him perform well in the Service Club while also making Yukinoshita more vigilant.

"Teacher, actually, you don't need to worry about this at all. I already have a girl I like. A new one, not Yukinoshita-san."

A certain memory was triggered for Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Sakurajima Mai or Hoshino Ai?"

"Can it be both?"

"Heh."

But with Lin Ye saying this, Hiratsuka Shizuka was truly reassured. Daring to say he liked Sakurajima Mai and Hoshino Ai in front of Yukinoshita showed that Lin Ye had truly let go of Yukinoshita.

Otherwise, who would mention liking other girls in front of the girl they liked?

"Good luck! Teacher is waiting for your good news."

At this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand, leaving the two with her departing back.

"I'm leaving. Yukinoshita, I leave him to you."

*Clack!*

The door to the Service Club closed.

The large clubroom was left with only Lin Ye and Yukinoshita.

At this moment,

Without the other knowing, they had both seen through each other's bodies.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Lin Ye felt the quiet atmosphere, especially because of the black-haired girl's current state, which couldn't help but give him a few thoughts.

*Calm down.*

*Don't think too much.*

"Sit down first."

The cold voice broke the silence of the Service Club. The girl turned and picked up a literary anthology from the table, continuing to read.

Lin Ye walked to the large table made of six desks pushed together and pulled over a natural-colored wooden chair to sit down.

Yukinoshita sat upright, her expression calm, her gaze fixed on the words in the book. Her slender right fingers turned the pages from time to time, the paper making a "rustling" sound.

Lin Ye glanced at her for a moment before taking out his phone, searching for something random, and pretending to read.

This week's superpower was clairvoyance.

The superpower would last for seven days and would be refreshed and replaced by another superpower next Monday. Based on the "Time Stop" situation, he estimated that his game character panel would also show "Skill: Clairvoyance" next Monday, but the ability would definitely not compare to the "Superpower: Clairvoyance"—it would surely have limitations in frequency, duration, or other aspects.

Therefore, if he wanted to use clairvoyance to improve himself, this week was the best time.

Now that he knew the regularity of his own "cheat," Lin Ye felt a sense of urgency to use the weekly limited superpower to improve his overall level.

And money, naturally, was one of those things.

Without money, many things were hard to do.

And the fastest ways to make money were gambling, drugs, or prostitution.

"Clairvoyance" was a sharp tool for gambling.

With the clairvoyance superpower, he could claim to be the new God of Gamblers without any issues.

However, gambling was prohibited by Japanese law. Although there were underground casinos, he currently had no connections. Even if he found a way into an underground casino, it would be fine if he won a small amount, but if he won a large sum, he would likely face targeting from the casino's dark forces.

He had weapons and the Time Stop skill, so he could handle certain malicious incidents, but the risk factor remained very high.

Once a bad situation arose and a shootout occurred, it would easily attract an investigation by the Japanese police.

Therefore...

He couldn't choose Japan for gambling.

"Las Vegas casinos are world-famous..."

But he was an Easterner. If he went to the Atlantic Federation to win a lot of money, he would still face breach of contract by the casino. People could leave, but the money had to stay—or even the people couldn't leave, because of so-called "maintaining casino credibility."

Another important factor was that Japan was too far from the Atlantic Federation and required a visa.

It was impossible for him to successfully obtain a visa in a short time.

Therefore,

There was only one choice.

"Aocheng."

It was close; a weekend was enough for a round trip.

"I'll repay the motherland tenfold or a hundredfold when I have the ability later."

He was just borrowing money for now, just like borrowing military supplies from the Atlantic Federation; he would definitely return it double in the future.

Lin Ye carefully looked at every item on the game panel, making himself as familiar as possible with every ability and prop, and finally, his gaze landed on the skill: Time Stop LV1.

Currently, other than being used for skill upgrades, there was nowhere else to use game points. Lin Ye estimated that once his game level increased, more permissions would inevitably open up, and the scope of game point usage would further expand.

But for now, let's use them to upgrade skills!

He only had two skills now; the Persuasion skill was at LV3, so it didn't need further upgrading for now.

Time Stop LV1 needed an upgrade.

【You have used 1000 game points to upgrade Time Stop.】

【Current Time Stop skill level: LV2.】

Lin Ye looked at the skill "Time Stop LV2."

【Name: Time Stop LV2.】

【Ability: After using this skill, the world will fall into a relative state of stillness, excluding the user. Duration: 10 seconds. Can be used 2 times consecutively. Cooldown: 50 minutes.】

The duration had become longer, the number of uses had increased, and the cooldown had decreased.

Good.

Especially the number of uses.

For the same total duration, Lin Ye preferred more uses.

【You have used 3000 game points to upgrade the skill Time Stop.】

【Current Time Stop skill level: LV3.】

【Name: Time Stop LV3.】

【Ability: After using this skill, the world will fall into a relative state of stillness, excluding the user. Duration: 15 seconds. Can be used 3 times consecutively. Cooldown: 40 minutes.】

Good, very good, excellent.

Now the fault tolerance was much higher.

With his current strength, if he had to board the No. 18 bus again or head to "Kyoto Private Elite High School," he had full confidence in clearing it.

Skills were just auxiliary, playing a helpful role.

The most important thing was still his own strength.

The Time Stop superpower was not invincible, let alone the current Time Stop skill!

Outside the window,

The sunset was setting, the sky a golden red.

Noisy sounds kept coming, coming from the Sobu High students sweating it out.

A breeze blew in, and the sheer curtains fluttered, constantly forming graceful arcs.

Lin Ye glanced at the classroom clock; it was already 4:50 PM. He had been sitting in the Service Club for over half an hour.

He felt it was enough and could leave.
