Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 21666 yen.]

Good start!

The money that Lin Yu needed most came right away, and the amount was more generous than ever before.

"Looks like I'm having a lucky day!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face as he prepared to continue.

If you're lucky, you won't need to open them in batches.

Miracles happen with a single pull—this is an experience gained from countless gacha games in my past lives.

Open a green treasure chest.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Namiki Maki-e Fountain Pen *1.]

pen?

Upon seeing the system notification, Lin Yu realized that this had once again touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

He was convinced that the pen he found in the green treasure chest was definitely not a cheap item.

But neither his nor the original owner's memories contained relevant information. Unlike in his previous life, when every household had a computer and could easily search online, this time it wasn't like before.

"Just treat it as a small item to elevate your social status."

"Or maybe they won't have enough money at the end of the month, and they might be able to scrape together some."

Lin Yu silently put the pen away.

Open all the green treasure chests.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Armani perfume*1.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a pair of gold earrings.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10000 yen.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 x 14th Hommaru Junmai Daiginjo.]

......

After opening the seventeen green treasure chests, Lin Yu began to carefully count his spoils.

The cash reward was 61354, plus a bunch of other items whose value Lin Yu couldn't estimate.

Things like perfumes and sake.

Judging from the packaging alone, it should be worth quite a bit of money.

"As expected, the green treasure chests are much more valuable; we were able to get so much from just seventeen chests."

Today's harvest truly stirred up a strong sense of anticipation in Lin Yu's heart.

Yesterday and today, the money alone amounted to 160,000.

Based on this, if he continues like this, the interest for this month shouldn't be a problem.

This doesn't even include his kindergarten salary or the earnings from submitting articles.

Although things were only settled this month, Lin Yu felt much more relaxed.

This debt has always been a concern for him, but now that he can finally make a difference, the pressure is gradually easing.

"However, we still can't let our guard down."

"Opening treasure chests is only a temporary solution. White and green treasure chests are easy to farm, but getting blue treasure chests is definitely not that easy. If we don't make any progress in other areas, next month will be troublesome."

Lin Yu remained calm and was well aware of his current situation.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yu turned his gaze to his manuscript.

After two days of hard work, I've barely managed to write 10,000 words.

This speed is outrageously slow.

If we had a computer, it wouldn't have taken this long at all.

Previously, we didn't have the means or the money.

but now...

After thinking for a while, Lin Yu finally gritted his teeth and decisively went out.

He plans to go to places like electronics stores to see how much a computer actually costs.

If we're talking about affordability, getting one would be absolutely worth it for him.

In my past life, I've stayed up all night writing articles, sometimes writing 20,000 to 30,000 words a day.

It'll be a bit of a hassle to buy a computer.

One more liver.

The progress will definitely be much faster than it is now; it should be able to finish "Planet Dream" in about three days.

If all else fails, buying a used one isn't out of the question.

Without stopping, Lin Yu headed straight for the Digital City, following the location he remembered.

Lin Yu really didn't know much about computers, especially the big-headed computers of this era.

I browsed around the electronics mall, and the computer prices were reasonably acceptable.

New ones generally start at 100,000, which he can afford given his current financial situation.

After buying it, it's almost like going back to square one overnight.

Almost all of yesterday's harvest will be put into production.

After browsing around for a while, Lin Yu finally plunged into the secondhand market.

Prices in the secondhand market are much cheaper, only about 40% to 50% of the price of brand new products.

Moreover, since it is also operated by the same digital mall, there is some guarantee, such as a warranty period.

After careful selection, Lin Yu decisively spent 50,000 yen to buy a second-hand PC.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy a laptop so he can take it to kindergarten.

It's not that this thing is just too expensive; a new one starts at around 200,000 yuan, which is about the same as his kindergarten monthly salary.

Even if it's old, it'll cost 100,000.

It's really a waste to spend so much money just for a few hours at kindergarten.

I bought a computer and then applied for internet service directly at the electronics market.

This is quite convenient, as most large electronics malls cooperate with companies that offer online agency services, so you don't have to make multiple trips.

Back home, before the staff who had set up the internet arrived, Lin Yu turned on his computer and placed it on his desk.

Assemble and power it on!

As the computer screen lit up, a smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips.

After successfully booting up, Lin Yu found the notebook of this era in the program.

Opening the notepad, Lin Yu interlaced his fingers and stretched them forward with force, his eyes filled with confidence.

Before long, the sound of rapid typing filled the small room.

The sound came as soon as it rang out, and it was already late at night.

In the middle of the night, the staff who were setting up the internet came by, which allowed Lin Yu to rest for a short while, but it didn't last long before it started again.

From the time he bought the computer until midnight when Lin Yu was about to go to sleep, he was still waiting.

It took about seven hours.

Aside from eating, drinking, using the toilet, installing the internet, and so on.

After a long time away from the computer, Lin Yu was surprisingly focused, completely abandoning his previous habit of slacking off.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that there aren't many fun things to do with computers in this era.

Lin Yu's several hours of focused concentration yielded significant results.

Not only was the nearly 10,000-word manuscript I wrote by hand successfully transferred to the computer, but I also wrote more than 3,000 words.

If this were before today, it would have been a full day's work.

"Buying a computer was definitely the right choice. If only I could have bought it earlier, I probably would have finished writing it by now."

Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed a moment of leisure.

"Try your best tomorrow too!"

. . . . . .

For the next two days, Yu continued his monotonous routine at the kindergarten, trying to win over the children during the day and then writing diligently at home.

Lin Yu bought a computer, which changed the way he wrote manuscripts by hand.
