Chapter 21
The Right Way to Use Tenfold Senses! An Important Missing Prop!

Seeing Lu Chen walking towards her, the blonde girl on the ground gradually felt panic in her heart, but on the surface she still showed a defiant look.

“It hurts so much…”

A burning pain shot through her knee. It was only a minor abrasion, but it felt like it had been doused in kerosene.

The strange smile on the man's face made the girl's heart tighten, fearing that he might do something indecent to her.

“Hohin Wakasa, a member of the popular idol group ‘Sweet Bullet’, right?”

Suddenly, the man in front of her spoke, causing Hohin Wakasa to be taken aback.

Lu Chen looked at the somewhat dazed girl with a scrutinizing gaze.

Compared to Sakurajima Mai, who went for a pure and mature look, Hohin Wakasa could be considered the other extreme.

Her beautiful blonde hair was tied into a bountiful and stylish ponytail, with a strand tucked behind her left ear.

Combined with her large, watery eyes and makeup, she gave off an impression of being lively and active.

Her height was less than 160 centimeters, considered average for girls, but compared to the tall Mai, she appeared somewhat petite.

The girl's figure was quite slender and graceful, the kind that would be envied by girls of her age.

This made Lu Chen think of Mai’s strict diet habits, and he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that being an actress or an idol wasn't easy.

From a man's perspective, this kind of physique might seem a little thin.

However, perhaps due to exercise, Hohin Wakasa didn't give off the impression of being frail.

The exposed legs beneath her short skirt were filled with rounded elasticity, looking very firm and healthy.

“….You know me?”

After a brief moment of surprise, a hint of pride arose in Hohin Wakasa’s heart.

So what, I'm still pretty popular.

Anyone I meet recognizes me.

Lu Chen glanced at her and shrugged.

“Yeah, you have a very famous sister.”

The idol girl, who had been feeling a little smug just moments ago, immediately glared angrily back at Lu Chen.

She didn't want to be known because of Sakurajima Mai.

All along, she had considered her half-sister as a rival, hoping to surpass her.

“Anyway, get up first. We're not enemies.”

Facing Lu Chen's outstretched hand, Hohin Wakasa snorted, but still placed her small hand in his.

However, the moment their hands touched, it felt like a current shot up her hand and through her body, causing her to instinctively clamp her legs together and a blush to bloom on her cheeks.

“Ho-how… It's just holding hands, why is my body reacting like this…”

The heat on her cheeks and the strange sensation in her body made Hohin Wakasa momentarily forget the pain in her knee, leaving her dazed and speechless in place.

But soon, she pretended nothing had happened and forcibly suppressed her expression.

“If we're not enemies, then why did you chase after me?”

“Of course, I wanted to see which reckless fool was trying to use a borrowed knife.”

Lu Chen looked at the girl with a playful smile, as if he had already seen through her disguise.

In fact, from the beginning, Hohin Wakasa had no secrets from him.

After all, even the "Tenfold Senses" trait was something he had personally brushed up on.

Her strange reaction, although it only lasted for a short time, was still noticed by him.

“You're blushing already? I didn't expect you to look like a spicy girl, but your body's reaction is still so pure…”

Lu Chen guessed that this was probably the effect of the trait.

But he didn't expect that Tenfold Senses would make Wakasa so sensitive.

“I told you, I was just passing by…”

The blonde girl muttered softly, offering a feeble rebuttal.

In reality, she had followed the sound of the gunshot.

Seeing Lu Chen searching for something in the newsstand, she secretly observed him for a while. When the zombies respawned, she remembered to leave.

“The misunderstanding is cleared up, can you let me go now?”

Hohin Wakasa was eager to get away from the man in front of her.

Although he didn't seem malicious and looked pleasing to the eye.

But ever since she met him, her body had been acting strange.

It must be because of him that she's like this!

However, Lu Chen just chuckled and shook his head.

“Sorry, you can’t leave.”

“Why!”

The blonde girl took a cautious step back, shielding her chest with her arms.

“Are you finally going to show your beastly nature? I won't give in…”

“Your sister… I mean Sakurajima Mai is also in this city, wouldn't you want to meet up with her?”

Lu Chen leisurely finished his words, then narrowed his eyes and glanced at the shocked idol girl.

“Of course, if you want a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ storyline to unfold, I can satisfy you.”

How come these two sisters are both drama queens? Are they really not real sisters?

“Mai-san is in this area too? That’s great!”

Hearing this news, a light filled Hohin Wakasa’s gray-blue eyes, and her spirits lifted.

For her, Sakurajima Mai was a rival that she had to surpass, but also a “senior” she had looked up to since childhood.

After her mother remarried and became part of the family, this complex emotion of respect and competition became even stronger.

In the perilous “Survivor Game”, hearing news of her sister.

For Hohin Wakasa, it was like a pillar of support in her heart.

“I made an appointment to meet her somewhere. If you want to see her, follow me.”

This successfully made Hohin Wakasa decide to follow, but she still kept a distance from Lu Chen.

As they passed the intersection where they had been before, she suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the corner of the newsstand, as if she had discovered something.

“What now?”

Lu Chen turned to look at her.

“If you fall behind… I won't waste my time looking for you.”

“Wait, didn’t you see? It's glowing over there.”

Hohin Wakasa blinked, confirming it again before going into the newsstand. Soon, she returned with a magazine, rejoining Lu Chen.

“This is…”

Lu Chen's attention was drawn to the magazine in the girl's hand.

In the dim ambient light, a faint white glow surrounded the magazine, barely visible to the naked eye.

If Hohin Wakasa hadn't mentioned it, Lu Chen wouldn't have noticed this subtle difference!

Because of this glow, it meant that this was no ordinary book, but a “prop”!

【Beginner's Guide to Handcrafts: E-Rank. A professional book that records basic “Handcraft” skills. Reading it can improve your “Handcraft” level】

-

Lu Chen had been searching through the newsstand for so long, he hadn't found this book.

This girl just glanced at it, how did she notice it…

Could it be the effect of “Tenfold Senses”?!

If that's true…

Thinking about this, Lu Chen's gaze towards Hohin Wakasa instantly became hot.
