Chapter 80: Mizuki, Why Do You Refuse a World Where Everyone Can Enjoy?

"Six million one hundred thousand," Ono Mizuki murmured.

"One year," Qingshan Li added.

He suddenly resonated with Miyase Yaeko, which was indeed quite interesting.

"From now on, pocket money halved every month!" Ono Mika suddenly said.

"Agreed!" Ono Mizuki firmly echoed.

"No. That's not okay."

Not fun at all!

Qingshan Li still owed Mikami Ai ten thousand yen, and they had agreed he would pay her back next month.

If he had known earlier that next month would only be five thousand yen, he would definitely have saved a bit this month and absolutely would not have bought any McDonald's, Soukenbicha!

Returning home, Qingshan Li first went to the Adachi Ward Central Library and returned the twenty books he had planned to return since yesterday.

Compared to carrying twenty books home, returning them seemed a bit easier, yet also seemed not.

Training the body ultimately still requires persistence.

【Beauty: A】, Qingshan Li had already personally experienced its power — even sleeping only two hours every night, almost forcibly letting himself enter deep sleep, he would occasionally dream, dreaming of Mikami Ai, Miyase Yaeko.

Then, 【Body: A】, what kind of manifestation would it have?

If 【Strength: A】 【Speed: A】 【Body: A】, the three combined?

How long could it let him live?

How strong would he become?

A bit embarrassing to say, but could it enhance that aspect's ability?

Although Qingshan Li still didn't know whether his ability in that aspect needed enhancement.

But this kind of thing is like scores, no matter how many more the better, full score one hundred, give him one hundred and one points, he would also feel no problem.

Returning home, the Ono Sisters were studying.

"I'll go make Hamburg Steak," Qingshan Li said.

"Okay~" Hearing there was food, Ono Mizuki was very well-behaved.

——System!

【Cooking E↑】

This aspect's special skill, Qingshan Li would not deliberately spend time learning.

There was one more thing he was very concerned about, 【Cooking D】 requires this high? He had also made Hamburg Steak several meals, yet it still hadn't leveled up.

He has no talent?

Or is it that the dishes he knows are too single, no matter how well Hamburg Steak can be made, in the system's view it's only E-grade level?

Try making other dishes during Golden Week.

Very short on money now, how about opening a restaurant? Could earn money immediately.

But opening a shop takes up too much time, if the Ono Sisters have this idea later, he could serve as guidance.

Just thinking wildly like this, three servings of Hamburg Steak were done, and Qingshan Li also genuinely felt that he was not serious enough towards 【Cooking】.

"Ready?!" Ono Mizuki ran into the kitchen, she had been paying attention the whole time.

"Poor hospitality!" Only this inexplicable place, Qingshan Li still insisted on.

The Hamburg Steak's crust presented a charred color, with some scorched rice texture, but picking it open with chopsticks, amid steaming heat, the meat inside was cooked just right.

Also accompanied by an alluring rich meat aroma.

Picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, enjoying the meat's ultimate deliciousness.

When the deliciousness reached its peak and began to slightly decline, putting a chopstick of rice in his mouth, satisfaction immediately rose again.

Even the remaining vegetables on the plate would be eaten up unknowingly.

"Truly delicious," Ono Mizuki exclaimed.

"Opening a shop on the roadside that only makes Hamburg Steak should make money," Ono Mika mused, "Coincidentally I have part-time experience in this area."

"Mika-nee," Qingshan Li said amusedly, "Earn money after graduation, even if it costs 6.1 million every year, one hundred million can last a long time."

"I'm praising you for making it delicious!" Ono Mika's face was a bit red.

"Moreover," she said again, "Every year it's not just 6.1 million, we also have to spend money."

"Thinking of this is so painful, after I graduate, can I earn six million a year?" Ono Mizuki lay on the table as if her stomach hurt.

"According to the latest data, Tokyo University graduates' annual salaries are generally between 7 million to 10 million yen, ordinary National University is 4 million to 8 million yen, you still have a lot of hope," Qingshan Li comforted.

"No, I'll eat another piece of Hamburg Steak to make myself happy!"

"That will only make you fat, become even sadder."

"I have a constitution where I won't get fat no matter how I eat, facts have already proven it!"

"Isn't it because our family has never eaten our fill?"

"Y-you, tonight you're not allowed to wash your hair!"

"Before entering the bath, please don't rinse your body, I like the original flavor, thank you."

"Alright, time to study," Ono Mika interrupted the two, then said, "Li, tonight you still shower first."

". I was just joking, Mika-nee, you wouldn't really suspect I'm a pervert who likes drinking your bath water, would you?"

"Won't, just letting you shower first." After finishing speaking, Ono Mika added a smile as if remembering.

Qingshan Li felt he still shouldn't joke casually.

"Let's start, study two hours straight first!" he forcibly ended this topic.

Originally eager to try, preparing to take the chance to struggle-session him into a true Home Security Guard, Ono Mizuki gave up somewhat unwillingly.

——System, don't sleep, get up and study!

【Intelligence B↑】

Qingshan Li paid it no mind, throwing himself into it wholeheartedly.

At a time like this, it's hard to say clearly whether it's the System controlling the body, or he himself controlling it; every step seems to come from his own will.

But there's no way to tell the difference.

Only in this state does one have this feeling, and while in this state, it simply doesn't occur to you to experiment with who holds the reins of bodily control.

Two hours later, Ono Mizuki called him to go shower.

Riding that feeling of total concentration, Qingshan Li did problems for a while longer, then set down his pen and stretched his body.

"Want to shower together? I'll scrub your backs?" he proposed.

"There are two of us!" Ono Mizuki strongly resisted.

"Two people is too slow efficiency-wise; three people can form a circle — you help me, I help Mika, Mika helps you; see, a world where everyone gets to enjoy it is complete."

Ono Mizuki stood up and walked toward the bamboo sword in the corner by the doorway.

"It's not like we haven't showered together before!" Qingshan Li talked tough, but his body had already fled in a panic.

"Sis, look at him, he's getting more and more perverted!" Ono Mizuki said.

"He's teasing you." Ono Mika laughed, "Mizuki, you look cute when you're mad."

"Am I that easy to bully?!"

"I think Li thinks exactly that." Ono Mika nodded.

Qingshan Li indeed thought exactly that.

After showering, he returned to his own room, hesitated slightly, didn't write the manuscript, and prepared to continue studying.

The Ono Sisters are the treasures of his life; he must make them happy for a lifetime.

To achieve that, he must first make himself not need to be taken care of; among those things, excellent grades are indispensable.

——System, continue!

【Intelligence B↑】

Two hours later, Qingshan Li went to the toilet, drank water.

After returning to the room, he did a test paper to test himself.

Went to sleep punctually at two o'clock.

Four o'clock, the newly set alarm clock rang.

Qingshan Li lay on the bed without moving, his chaotic brain pondering one thing: why do Apple alarms all feel so similar?

Or is it that any alarm clock gives the same feeling?

Really want to get up, but can't get up.

——System, give me a pull.

System·Ryosuke got up, didn't even put on clothes, just sat at the low table and started studying.

——Couldn't you put your clothes on first? What if you catch a cold?

Saying it was useless; Qingshan Li could only cooperate, focusing his attention on studying, and along with the feeling of gaining bodily control, he also completely immersed himself.

In an exam, when one fails to get ideal grades, many people resolve to work harder next time.

However, even if they listen in class more seriously than before, treat homework more seriously, grades may not necessarily improve.

Studying requires accumulation.

And Qingshan Li, currently in the zone, was practically moving goods for real — moving knowledge from books into the brain warehouse.

The speed of accumulation was visible to the naked eye.

y=ax^2→linear function→direct proportion, inverse proportion, good, quadratic function understood, next.

It was just that simple, in a way ordinary people would find a bit hard to think through clearly, studying non-stop.

After every study session ended, Qingshan Li would have the same question: whose brain is the one actually moving?
