章節 70: Not that Bad, Actually
Haruki couldn't think of anything else that was not a way to help Jun not to be beaten like a dirty rug in the ring.
Searching the Store's Items, and the Equippable Cards for sale, he saw a pair of Pro Boxing Gloves and Pro Boxing Trunks that gave +5% in DEXTERITY and HEALTH, respectively. But 1050 diamonds were expensive, he had nothing on the bill.
Zumba classes paid 200 an hour. He would need 6 hours of teaching to get the diamonds.
Haruki saw that he had received a new message. He opened it to see what it was, and discovered that he had recently won three more pearls, going to a total of ten. The singer went to look at what the pearls were worth in the game.
...
ACCUMULATED PEARLS (XP)
CRUSH : 50 PEARLS
DATE : 100 PEARLS
BOYFRIEND: 300 PEARLS
FIANCÉ : 700 PEARLS
HUSBAND : 1500 PEARLS
...
'Ah, it's the score for Miyu-chan's heart. No, thanks.' Haruki thought to see that it was the accumulated experience and was worth bringing him closer to the player, after all he was in an Otome Game. He probably won it while strolling with her and Takashi in the City of Dreams tour on Deck 4. So it wasn't something he really cared about getting. But there was the second part.
...
0 pearl to 50 pearls - SPECIAL SKILLS 1
51 pearls to 100 pearls - SPECIAL SKILLS 2
101 pearls to 300 pearls -SPECIAL SKILLS 3
301 pearls to 700 pearls - SPECIAL SKILLS 4
701 pearls to 1500 pearls -SPECIAL SKILLS 5
...
'What? Special skills?' It was a more complex system than he had thought.
Haruki recalled that the first 7 pearls he had won at the ball, so that was it, 'Every time I meet her is a mission! And I get pearls.'
"Damn."
He kept looking at the system screens, as he needed to get to know the group better and assess their special skills. But he needed to do this in an organized way, 1) see the defects he didn't see before, 2) look at the Special Abilities, 3) sell two Items, 4) buy the Boxing Kit, that is, the glove and trunks 5) ask for Daisuke to deliver the Boxing Kit to Jun.
'Damn Haruki, now it's official, you're F *cked with a capital F, man ...' Haruki sensed he would still suffer for a while until he could get over this feeling for Jun, or until he could have it back. Shaking his head to ward off Jun's image, the singer went back to studying the statuses.
…
[YAMADA DAISUKE - Artist].
DEFECT:
[Prima Donna - If your CHARISM decreases to 50%, you lose the equipped cards, EXCEPT 'Fashionista'.]
ACCUMULATED PEARLS (XP): 4 pearls
'Hm, he's prone to throwing fits? Very like himself.' Getting revenge on the influencer was now easy, it was to be attentive and start irritating him so that Daisuke would lose his elegance. Haruki wondered what it meant to 'lose the cards', in that context. Could it be just temporary or would Daisuke lose his equipped cards forever? If it were the second alternative, he would have to buy everything again every time he threw a tantrum. Knowing that it wasn't possible to just go to the digital influencer and ask him, Haruki decided to keep annoying Daisuke for petty things.
...
[ICHIDA SAITO - CEO].
DEFECT:
[Possessive - Must have at least one item card equipped at all times.]
ACCUMULATED PEARLS (XP): 4 pearls
...
'Dude, what a great character.' Haruki failed to see that being possessive was a defect. He himself knew someone like that, and she was wonderful - his mother.
'OP, ' he concluded.
But of course, the CEO was the favorite character for those who paid for the game. So the programmers filled him with benefits to get to the 1700 pearls first and please the billionaire. Or was it demand from Abe-san? Whatever it was, Saito would not move to that end.
…...
[OKANE HINATA - Senior student].
DEFECT:
[Lazy - Cannot upgrade DEXTERITY to over 60%.]
ACCUMULATED PEARLS (XP): 9 pearls
...
'Another one with the OP defect… Hm, but the punishment is strong.'
Hinata wouldn't be able to control the monster truck. That car required the pilot to be a skilled driver.
…...
- INITIAL BENEFIT
- SPECIAL SKILLS (1)
.....
'Oh, we all have an initial benefit and special skills, but that's a lot to see at once.' Haruki knew himself well, if he tried to memorize everything at once he wouldn't absorb the content. So he chose to understand what was on his stats first.
.
INITIAL BENEFIT [You can equip 4 cards, while your opponents equip 3 cards.] 'Ah, that I already understood by myself. But it is a good advantage. '
.
SPECIAL SKILLS [1 De-stress with Sports - Spending 2% CHARISM and 3% DEXTERITY, ignores the effects of lowering your happiness level by 1 point, 2 times a day.]
.
'Um, this is also useful. I can choose to lose a little bit so as not to lose 20% on Intelligence tasks that cost 20% more or take 20% more time when I reach 4 DOWNCAST, 3 UPSET, 2 DEPRESSED, 1 OUTRAGED. '
Haruki gradually began to understand how to use the system. He also returned to the state of happiness playing sports, and gained in DEXTERITY, also recovered HEALTH.
'Cool.'
This time Haruki was happy with his stats.
******
Haruki put his 'Fox Mask' Equippable Item and 'A Gentleman' Equippable Card for Auction.
He felt that it was his for Jun losing his money gambling. Selling his items, Haruki would have the money to buy the items to help Jun in the fight.
But when choosing the option, he saw that he could only get 550 diamonds for his items! 'This is a rip-off. How can they get 100 diamonds out of my mask? '
Haruki then remembered Hinata refusing to sell the monster car because he would lose diamonds to the 'Auction Hub'.
'Um, there's only one way for me to get the money. If one of the guys agrees to buy my items. '
The singer was indecisive about whether or not to offer the mask to Takashi. Takashi had already helped by buying a concert shirt as memorabilia to give him the diamonds for his car.
There was Daisuke who, as Jun and himself, had no diamonds. He had probably spent everything he usurped from Haruki and a little more purchasing the Lamborghini.
Only Saito and Hinata were viable options.
The singer went to look for the senior student. As he left the room, Haruki came across Saito sitting in a chair positioned in front of his door. His face had a dark mark between his cut lower lip and his chin. Clearly the fingerprint of a fist.
Jun's fist, probably.
Saito opened a sardonic smile, before opening his eyes and staring at the singer coldly.
"Haruki, you didn't come to me to apologize. So I came to demand it."
