Lin Xi clearly had no intention of continuing to interact with the spirit-seeing girl.
Mainly because she had just been scared out of her wits by that evil spirit.
Her skirt was even wet.
If he approached her now, wouldn’t it just make the girl feel more embarrassed?
So, he simply left a piece of clothing for her to cover her skirt.
Perhaps they would meet again by fate in the future.
He had no idea that behind him, Yotsuya Kiko was crying with a mournful expression, making gestures for him to stay.
Compared to the constant fear she had felt all along.
What was a little wetting oneself in comparison!
It was hard to come across someone who could see evil spirits just like her.
And this person could shatter the evil spirit's teeth just by standing still, causing the spirit to flee in panic.
Such a powerful individual, Kiko naturally wanted to get to know him.
However, what made her want to cry without tears was that this amazing person actually ran away!
She could only silently comfort herself, thinking that maybe this handsome guy had urgent matters to attend to.
Now that he had left, it was too late for her to chase after him.
But the girl had already remembered the platform where he got off.
Next time, she would come back to shop there with her best friend, and maybe they would meet again.
Thinking of this, the girl suddenly moved her feet, tightly holding onto her skirt with the clothing Lin Xi had given her.
When it was time to get off, she quickly exited the train.
She dashed to a clothing store.
Buying some underwear and changing her skirt.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi had already arrived near Sakura Manor after getting off the train.
It was quite obvious that he was calling out to the affiliated high school of Suimei Art University.
You might wonder why Lin Xi didn’t choose to attend the nearby Suimei Art University affiliated high school?
Once Shiina Mashiro, the cute girl, came over, wouldn’t they be able to go to and from school together?
Isn’t it better to be close to the water?
However, compared to waiting.
Lin Xi preferred to take the initiative.
Moreover, Soubu High School was a very excellent school.
He was more familiar with the people inside.
As for Suimei Art University affiliated high school, he only knew the people from Sakura Manor.
Damn it, he hadn’t triggered a single task until now.
It was only after picking up Ogiwara Sayu that he got his first skill entry, "Unyielding Gold Lance."
In the original anime, the characters from Sakura Manor.
Besides Shiina Mashiro and her best friend Rita Ainzworth, he had also met the hardworking girl Aoyama Nanami, who worked part-time.
None of them had triggered any tasks.
Aside from these people, he didn’t know anyone else.
And Lin Xi didn’t plan to develop in the artistic direction; he wanted to rely on rental income to live comfortably.
So he decisively gave up on Suimei Art University affiliated high school.
But Soubu High School was interesting.
Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuibin Yui, Miura Yumiko, and a series of characters were all in this school.
School would start in two days.
Perhaps he could still catch the famous scene of some dead fish-eyed boy saving a dog and getting hit by a car.
Lin Xi was lost in thought as he checked his savings.
He had about 1.2 million yen.
It looked like a lot, but it was actually only equivalent to 59,000 Chinese yuan.
That really wasn’t much.
Attending Soubu High School.
The first year of school required a fee of 600,000 yen, which included admission fees, uniform costs, and various miscellaneous charges.
The second year would be about 70% of the first year, which would require around 420,000 yen.
This didn’t include accommodation and meal expenses.
Generally, students would eat breakfast at home and bring bento for lunch.
There were students who lived on campus, but they usually wouldn’t choose to do so.
Because dormitory fees also required around 200,000 yen, it would be better to rent a place outside.
The cheaper options only cost about 80,000 yen a month.
After careful calculation, Lin Xi suddenly realized that he was running a bit short on money.
Now he had a total of 1.2 million yen, and after paying the tuition of 600,000 yen, he would only have 600,000 left.
This was enough for his daily living expenses, but with Ogiwara Sayu to support, life would become very tight.
His available funds were 600,000 yen.
Plus, the rent for Sakura Manor was 150,000 yen a month, shared among five people.
So he had 1.35 million yen left to spend.
After calculating, he found that the money was still enough.
But if he wanted to spend freely, that would definitely not be possible.
[Ding, detected player intent, completing tasks in the future will increase monetary rewards.]
The Game Life System immediately popped up to remind him.
This is great.
Even if he was sleepy, someone was there to offer him a pillow.
Lin Xi immediately gave up on the idea of earning money.
With the Game Life System, he could just be a player and do tasks to relax.
With the money-making method settled, Lin Xi felt much lighter on his feet.
He planned to head straight home.
However, as he passed by an alley, he saw a girl with braided hair and a long skirt being cornered by a few ill-intentioned people.
[Ding, task triggered: The Braided Girl's Distress.]
[It was a rare nice day, and the girl, who had hidden her figure and beauty, went out to buy her favorite sauce-flavored roasted meat, preparing to treat her stomach.]
[Unexpectedly, she might not have checked the calendar before going out today, and on her way home, she was blocked by a few thugs at the alley, who wanted to vent their frustrations on her because she looked plain.]
[Please help the girl in front of you drive away the troublemakers; completing the task will reward you with skill entries or items, as well as a fixed reward of 1 million yen.]
Upon receiving the prompt, Lin Xi felt his fists harden.
His fists were completely hardened.
This task had to be done.
Chasing away a few troublemakers would earn him 1 million yen; it was simply delightful.
“Hey, you braided-haired girl, do you know you’re blocking my view?”
“Being ugly isn’t your fault, but scaring people is your mistake, right?”
There were five delinquents in total.
They were dressed in a sleazy manner, with their shirts unbuttoned, revealing their skinny, chicken-like chests.
They had earrings and dyed hair, clearly the type with a bad temper.
They were probably graduates with no jobs, wandering around all day.
Startled by the fierce demeanor of the girl, she instinctively shrank her neck, “I’m sorry.”
She planned to soften her stance first, placing her hand in her bag, but she had secretly clicked her phone to prepare to call the police.
At the same time, there was also a pepper spray in her bag.
Her strategy was to feign weakness first, then deliver a fatal blow to the enemy and escape.
“If saying sorry works, then what do we need the police for? You’re ugly enough to scare us! Hurry up and give us money to compensate, soothe our traumatized souls!”
“Yeah, hurry up and hand over the money! Otherwise, we might strip you naked and tie you to a telephone pole for everyone to gawk at!”
As they spoke, the delinquents revealed perverted smiles.
The girl trembled in fear.
Just as she was about to say something.
A strong voice suddenly came from behind.
“This ends here!”
“What are you doing? Are a few big men bullying a girl? Don’t you have any shame?”
Lin Xi set down the box of sauce-flavored roasted meat along with his school uniform on the ground and walked over to them with a cold expression.
“Oh, look, kid, do you want to be the hero saving the beauty… oh no, a pretty boy saving a plain girl?”
“Hahaha, pretty boy, do you know that being a hero comes with a price?”
The delinquents exchanged glances and all revealed cruel expressions.
Lin Xi smirked, showing a confident smile.
Minutes later.
Under the shocked gaze of the girl with glasses and braids, Lin Xi stripped the five delinquents down to their underwear, using their clothes as ropes to tie them in a circle around a telephone pole.
After making a call to report the incident, he turned to look at the dazed girl.
“Alright, it’s all over now.”
“Girl, be careful when going home in the future; you can’t always count on me to be your hero.”
