Chapter 119

Yet, traces of them appeared in every aspect of life.

And the wealthy you cannot see are the most terrifying!

Although I don't know how they managed it.

But even if I knew now, it wouldn't have much meaning.

Can't delete them, can't block them.

For now, I can only take things as they come...

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't waste any more effort asking questions afterward; instead, he clicked directly on the message Fujiwara Aoi had sent just a moment ago.

【Fujiwara Aoi: (，，???)?゛hello, good evening, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, are you asleep yet?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: About to sleep, what's up?】

The message was replied to quickly.

【Fujiwara Aoi: I exercise a lot, so my metabolism is a bit faster than the average person... I might be sweaty after work, so I want to go home, take a shower, and change clothes. I need you all to wait for me a bit...】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: It's fine, I have to go home to find my sister anyway. My sister needs some prep time before going out too. Just let me know when you're ready.】

【Fujiwara Aoi: (〃'▽'〃) Mm-hmm, see you tomorrow then, goodnight.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Goodnight.】

After replying to Fujiwara Aoi.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun clicked on the message Araki Jie'ai had sent shortly after five.

【Araki Jie'ai: Xia Xia Xia Mujun, are you there?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: I am.】

The message was replied to quickly.

【Araki Jie'ai: Good grief, I sent you a message after five, and you're only replying now?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Sorry... I had a lot to do.】

【Araki Jie'ai: Since you're my junior, I'll let you off for now. I'm looking for you this time to ask if you're free tomorrow? That guy Yasui Yasui Liangdou and I are free tomorrow. Didn't you say you'd treat us to a meal? I think tomorrow works quite well.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Tomorrow... I have to work at the cafe in the morning, and after that, I have to accompany my sister and a friend to a movie... I might not be free then. How about we change it to Monday? I definitely have time on Monday.】

【Araki Jie'ai: Monday? Let me ask.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: By the way, Senior, I forgot to ask how your match went two days ago.】

【Araki Jie'ai: Hey, we had to win, obviously! If we were knocked out in the first round, we wouldn't even dare to admit we're members of the Shogi Club.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Congratulations, congratulations! So, what date is your next match?】

【Araki Jie'ai: Both he and I are on April 9th, which is Tuesday.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: I'm on April 8th, Monday. Looks like we missed each other again, which is fine.】

【Araki Jie'ai: Indeed. Good luck with your match then, don't lose. You have to at least win back the entry fee.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Definitely.】

【Araki Jie'ai: They replied to me, saying they're free on Monday. What time are you planning, and where are we eating?】

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was confused.

They?

Wasn't it just Senior Yasui Yasui Yasui Liangdou?

Did Senior Araki Jie'ai make a mistake?

He didn't dwell on it and simply replied.

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: As for the time, how about around 5:30 at the sushi restaurant near the Hachiko Statue in Shibuya? I'll send you the address in a bit, is that okay?】

【Araki Jie'ai: Mm-hmm, that works for us. But won't your match schedule be the same as last time, in the third session? If so, the time will be very tight.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: It already shows my session is the second one, which is at noon. After it ends, I'll have plenty of time.】

【Araki Jie'ai: Then it's a date. Don't you dare stand us up, or see how I deal with you!】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: I'll definitely be on time.】

【Araki Jie'ai: (?3[▓▓] Alright, it's very late, goodnight.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Goodnight.】

After replying to the senior, Xia Xia Xia Mujun took the initiative to send a message to his homeroom teacher, Sakai Shion.

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Teacher Sakai, are you there?】

He waited a while for a reply.

【Sakai Shion: What is it?】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: I have a Shogi match on Monday, I'd like to ask for a day off.】

【Sakai Shion: Fine.】

Sakai Shion looked at her phone, thought for a moment, and finally added one more sentence.

【Sakai Shion: Good luck with the match.】

【Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Mm-hmm.】

After replying to the message.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun had nothing else to do, so he threw his phone aside to charge and glanced at his sister's side.

He found she was still reading a novel and hadn't fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't intend to say anything; he simply closed his eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun slowly woke from his deep sleep, picked up his phone to check, and found it was only around six o'clock.

It was nearly an hour earlier than his usual wake-up time of seven-something.

He felt he had woken up too early and wanted to go back to sleep.

But his body felt much more energetic than before; he tossed and turned but couldn't fall back asleep.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun sat up helplessly and stared blankly for a moment.

He thought it must be that after his Constitution attribute increased, the time his body needed for sleep had shortened.

Otherwise, he was the type who would usually sleep long after the alarm went off, unwilling to wake up.

But now, the alarm hadn't even gone off, and he had even woken up an hour early.

No matter how he looked at it, the speed at which his body recovered its energy was far beyond before.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this.

What he should be happy about was that with less sleep time, he could do more things.

What he should be worried about was that he quite liked sleeping in, and the chances to do so in the future would likely be fewer...

And at this moment.

His gaze couldn't help but look at the attributes on the panel.

【Strength: 4】

【Agility: 4】

【Spirit: 6】

【Constitution: 6】

【Charm: 10】

He didn't pay much attention to the other attributes.

But the Strength and Agility attributes were now tugging at his heartstrings.

All other attributes were over 5, only these two were still 4, appearing somewhat out of place.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun felt that after finishing *The Devotion of Suspect X*, his life wasn't as rushed as before.

He decided to just get up, wash up, and go exercise to raise these two attributes slightly, to see if there would be any other surprises.

Since Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't have the money for a gym, he had to go outside for bodyweight exercises and running.

Soon.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun, covered in sweat, returned from outside and washed up briefly.

He looked at the muscles on his body and found that although they were toned.

In reality, it seemed he had only lowered his body fat percentage and sculpted his muscles, making them look better.

If he wanted that perfect fitness physique, he would need to continue strengthening his training in many areas.

After washing up.
