Chapter 226

Yet their traces appeared in every aspect of life.

And the wealthy people you cannot see are the most terrifying!

Although he didn't know how they managed it.

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

He couldn't delete them, and he couldn't block them.

For now, he could only take things as they come...

Natsume Chikage didn't waste any more effort asking questions afterward, but instead clicked directly on the message Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui had sent just a short while ago.

【Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui: (,,???)? ゛hello good evening, Natsume-kun, have you gone to sleep yet?】

【Natsume Chikage: About to sleep, what's up?】

The message was replied to quickly.

【Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui: I exercise a lot, so my metabolism is stronger than the average person... I might be sweaty after finishing my shift, so I want to go home, take a shower, and change into a set of clothes; I need you guys to wait for me for a bit...】

【Natsume Chikage: It's fine, I have to go home to find my younger sister anyway. My sister also needs some preparation time before she goes out. Just tell me when you're ready.】

【Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui: (〃'▽'〃) Mm-hmm, see you tomorrow then, good night.】

【Natsume Chikage: Good night.】

After replying to Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui.

Natsume Chikage clicked on the message Araki Juai had sent shortly after five o'clock.

【Araki Juai: Natsume-kun, are you there?】

【Natsume Chikage: I am.】

The message was replied to quickly.

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

【Natsume Chikage: Sorry... I had a lot of things to do.】

【Araki Juai: 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 Ryuto and I are free tomorrow; didn't you say you were going to treat the two of us to a meal? I think tomorrow would be just fine.】

【Natsume Chikage: Tomorrow, huh... I have to work at the coffee shop in the morning tomorrow, and after work, I have to accompany my sister and a friend to see a movie... I might not be free then. How about we change it to Monday? I definitely have time on Monday.】

【Araki Juai: Monday? Let me ask.】

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

【Araki Juai: Hey, we had to win! If we were eliminated in the first round, the two of us wouldn't even dare to admit we were members of the Shogi Force.】

【Natsume Chikage: Congratulations, congratulations! So, what date is your next match?】

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

【Natsume Chikage: I'm on April 8th, Monday. It seems we missed each other again, which is quite good.】

【Araki Juai: That's true. You have to do your best in your match, don't lose; you have to at least win back the entry fee for the competition first.】

【Natsume Chikage: Definitely.】

【Araki Juai: They replied to my message, saying they are free on Monday. What time are you planning to go, and where are we eating?】

Natsume Chikage was confused.

They?

Wasn't it just Senior Yasui Ryuto?

Could Senior Araki Juai have misspoken?

He didn't delve into it, simply replying.

【Natsume Chikage: 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 Juai: Mm-hmm, that's no problem on our end. But will your match session be the same as last time, the third session? If so, the time will be very tight.】

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

【Araki Juai: Then it's a date, don't you dare stand us up, or else see how I'll deal with you!】

【Natsume Chikage: I'll definitely be there on time.】

【Araki Juai: (? 3【▓▓】 Alright, it's very late, good night.】

【Natsume Chikage: Good night.】

After replying to the senior, Natsume Chikage took the initiative to send a message to his homeroom teacher, Jiu Jing Ziyuan.

【Natsume Chikage: Jiu Jing-sensei, are you there?】

He waited a while for a reply to the message.

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: What's wrong?】

【Natsume Chikage: I have a shogi match on Monday, I'd like to ask for a day off.】

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: Fine.】

Jiu Jing Ziyuan looked at her phone, thought for a moment, and finally added one more sentence.

【Jiu Jing Ziyuan: Good luck with the match.】

【Natsume Chikage: Mm-hmm.】

After replying to the message.

Natsume Chikage had nothing else to do, so he threw his phone aside to charge, then glanced at his sister's side.

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

Seeing this, Natsume Chikage didn't intend to say anything, simply closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

The next day.

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

It was almost an hour earlier than his usual wake-up time of seven o'clock.

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

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

Natsume Chikage sat up helplessly and stared blankly for a moment.

He thought it must be that after his physique attribute improved, the time his body needed to sleep had shortened.

Otherwise, he was the type who would usually sleep for a long time after the alarm went off and still wouldn't want 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 what it was before.

Natsume Chikage didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this.

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

What he should be worried about is that he quite liked sleeping in, and the opportunities to sleep in in the future would likely be fewer...

And at this moment.

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

【Strength: 4】

【Agility: 4】

【Spirit: 6】

【Physique: 6】

【Charm: 10】

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

But the two attributes of strength and agility were now tugging at his heartstrings a bit.

The other attributes were all over 5, but only these two were still at 4, appearing somewhat out of place.

Natsume Chikage felt that after finishing that book, "The Devotion of Suspect X," his life wasn't as rushed as before.

He simply got up to wash and planned to go exercise to raise these two attributes slightly, to see if there would be any other surprises.

Since Natsume Chikage currently didn't have much money for a gym, he had to go outside for bodyweight training and running.

Very soon.

Natsume Chikage returned from outside, drenched in sweat, and after a simple wash.

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 incidentally sculpted his muscles, which just looked better.

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

After washing up. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
