Chapter 19: Self-Enlightenment

Open the system panel and tap the character tab within it.

Looking at the five characters provided by the system, Kamikawa Mitsu didn't even glance at the others; his gaze fell directly on one character.

【Supporting Character 1】: Tian Wu

Skills: Martial Arts LV7, Firearms LV5, Swordsmanship LV6.

When choosing skills, Kamikawa Mitsu had given it thought.

Five characters.

One of them, the crow, was a useless character.

The skills of the remaining four characters could be selected; Kamikawa Mitsu prioritized Tian Wu's character skills, which were all purely combat-oriented.

Possessing the original owner's memories, Kamikawa Mitsu clearly understood the reason for the original owner's suicide.

There were three reasons.

First, his parents died early, forcing the original owner to shoulder the family burden too soon.

Second, finances; due to his parents' early death, the original owner, being a Gao Zhongsheng, could not earn a stable income, leading to financial hardship and a poor life.

Third... school bullying.

The incomplete family and his appearance, which was popular with girls, made the original owner a target for bullies at school.

Because of the incomplete family...

The bullies knew well that no matter how much the original owner was bullied, there was no one to stand up for him; after all, who loves children the most if not their parents?

Without parents, it was as if he had lost his greatest shield.

From the memories of the school the original owner held...

Kamikawa Mitsu could not see a single trace of happy or beautiful memories.

What existed were only memories of pain and suffering.

Being mocked, insulted, extorted, beaten with fists and kicks, and used as a errand boy—these were the daily experiences the original owner had at school.

Every time he probed these memories, Kamikawa Mitsu's deep eyes became extremely cold.

He understood clearly.

The death of the original owner's parents and financial hardship made the original owner's mind unable to bear the burden.

And school bullying caused the original owner's mind to be traumatized, expanding infinitely, driving the original owner onto the path of suicide, which represented despair.

To sum it up.

The school bully was the biggest inducement for the original owner's suicide.

Facing school bullying, Kamikawa Mitsu was not the original owner; he would not choose to compromise or endure.

"With Tian Wu's skills, I won't need another method to solve the problems the original owner faced at school."

Kamikawa Mitsu spoke these words.

His eyes were so calm it was frightening.

"System, redeem Tian Wu's skills."

A cold voice issued from Kamikawa Mitsu's mouth.

Ding! Consumed 420 Script Points, obtained Tian Wu's character skills.

In an instant, Kamikawa Mitsu felt his body strengthening, and a vast amount of knowledge regarding martial arts, firearms, and swordsmanship filled his mind.

Looking at the system panel again.

Host: Kamikawa Mitsu

Comprehensive Body Stats: 70

Skills: Martial Arts LV7, Firearms LV5, Swordsmanship LV6.

Script Points: 3580 points

The skill tab on the system panel was no longer empty; three new skills had appeared.

He clenched his fists.

Kamikawa Mitsu discovered that his body had become stronger.

"It seems it's due to obtaining the Martial Arts and Swordsmanship skills."

Regarding the increase in body stats, meaning the body becoming stronger, Kamikawa Mitsu was not overly surprised; this was a simple principle: the power of Martial Arts and Swordsmanship is directly proportional to the body.

"Hmm?"

Before he could check the changes in his body, his gaze fell on the Script Points on the system panel.

"Obtaining Tian Wu's skills cost me 420 points? That's so many?"

On average, one skill cost 140 Script Points.

Calculating it, on NH137, obtaining a LV10 Driving skill cost only 100 points.

Comparing the two, the price difference is huge.

"It must be due to the one-time versus permanent nature," Kamikawa Mitsu guessed.

In the script, he used only 100 points to obtain a LV10 skill, but the skill disappeared after the script ended, belonging to the one-time category.

The situation now is different; what he obtained is a permanent skill.

This is proven by the skill appearing in the skill tab.

"This system is quite economic."

Kamikawa Mitsu couldn't help but complain.

Speaking of modern products, for the same thing, one-time products are often cheaper, such as disposable chopsticks.

"This is good too; at least I can use a small number of Script Points to gain the greatest benefit for myself, making it easier to complete the script."

Kamikawa Mitsu had no dissatisfaction with the system's Script Point spending rules; he was quite satisfied.

Immediately after.

Kamikawa Mitsu chose not to continue exchanging for skills.

Among the other character skills, the only ones usable for him now were Zhujiang the Conductor's makeup art and service ability.

The makeup art, he could use to dress up his younger sister.

The service ability, he could use for his convenience store job.

However, these were all trivial matters.

It is normal for boys to be unskilled at dressing up; using professional service for convenience store work is overkill.

"System, can script points be exchanged for money?"

Script points can exchange for anything; Kamikawa Mitsu was considering whether money could be exchanged.

If so, he would not need to worry about money for the time being.

Ding! Exchanging money of unknown origin: one script point exchanges for ten thousand yen.

Ding! Exchanging money obtained through legitimate channels: two script points exchange for ten thousand yen.

"Two points for only ten thousand yen?"

Kamikawa Mitsu did not consider exchanging for money of unknown origin too much,

Japan has a specialized investigation bureau for funds; if only a small amount of money is exchanged, it might not be discovered, but exchanging large amounts and spending them makes it easy to be discovered.

"Exchanging for money is a bad deal."

Kamikawa Mitsu muttered, his eyes showing hesitation.

His current script points, if exchanged for money, would amount to roughly seventeen million yen, which converts to one million renminbi.

One million, to be honest, is too little.

The key is that this is under the condition of spending all existing script points.

You must know, script points are very important.

To complete a script, spending script points is inevitable; it is equivalent to the investment in a film.

Therefore, to be able to complete the next script, some script points must be reserved.

Calculated this way, the amount of money that can be exchanged is even less, under one million.

Kamikawa Mitsu thought.

Exchanging script points for money is not practical, at least not now; he must wait until he has more script points.

"Anyway, I have a convenience store job now, the hourly wage is good, life is manageable, I am not short on money for now; I will exchange for money later when there is an urgent need."

He did not hesitate too much over the money.

Kamikawa Mitsu opened his phone to check the popularity of the uploaded video.

He wanted to see exactly how the video's popularity was to judge the system's scoring criteria.

"The data is so high!"

Seeing the video data, Kamikawa Mitsu was greatly startled.

Video reposts: 5,463.

Comments: 18,214.

Views: 2.12 million.

Followers: 63,896 people.

This is just one night's data.

If the time were longer... the data would be even higher.

Scrolling through the comment section and reading the comments, Kamikawa Mitsu was surprised.

"These netizens have such huge imaginations."

He roughly looked at the comment content; besides marveling at the video, there were discussions about who the videographer was, the shooting angle, and other questions.

And the most discussed topic was whether NH137 was a man-made accident.

"It actually seems to be the case."

Through reading the analysis in the comment section, Kamikawa Mitsu felt both amused and helpless.

When he first edited the video, he hadn't considered so much; he didn't expect the netizens to have self-enhanced the story.

He watched the comments for a while longer.

Kamikawa Mitsu couldn't help but start thinking.

"Popularity, how should I expand the video's popularity?"

This video's popularity would be heated up, besides discussions about the NH137 man-made accident.

There was another point.

That was the visuals of the crow collision, the airplane flying at high altitude, and so on, comparable to special effects blockbusters.

"Should I add some special effects to my next script's video to make the video more shocking?"

Kamikawa Mitsu was thinking; regarding this NH137 incident, he actually didn't spend script points to create special effects or anything like that, focusing only on self-preservation; perhaps next time he could add some special effects to the event.

In short, find a way to make the script incredibly shocking.

Pitter-patter.

Outside the window, the sound of pattering rain came, interrupting Kamikawa Mitsu's thoughts.

"Hmm? Is it raining?"

Kamikawa Mitsu looked out the window; just at that moment, his phone chimed with a ding-dong sound.

A text message had been sent.

(PS: Did any of you readers receive the message I sent, asking you to send me recommendation votes?!)
