Why is my anime art style so weird?

Once 'time stop' takes effect, the target becomes a sitting duck for 20 seconds!

Most importantly, this effect has no cooldown.

Within 20 seconds, Xu Ming could strike at least a dozen times with all his might, and if he was lucky enough to get it working, he could keep the target pinned in place.

If you use 'Schrödinger's crowbar' first, and then you happen to randomly get 'time steal'...

Taking a break is fun, but pausing all the time is even more fun!

Xu Ming then upgraded the phone camera's 'evil-repelling' and 'purification' abilities to level 6, spending a total of 15000 points.

Then, the energy storage level was upgraded to level 8 in one go, which cost 3200 + 6400 = 9600 points.

This reduces the time it takes for the phone to recharge to just 2 minutes!

Xu Ming could almost see a portable rocket launcher beckoning to him!

After buying seven and using eight, he still had 5400 points left.

45000 points may seem like a lot, but in reality, they don't last long at all.

Xu Ming planned to keep the remaining points for future use.

Firstly, it allows us to prepare in advance based on the condition of the Konoha Village ruins.

Secondly, even if he wanted to upgrade, powerful attributes were too expensive, and he wanted to save up points to upgrade to powerful ones since his attributes weren't strong enough.

Xu Ming closed the system panel and glanced out the window.

Before we knew it, the sun had set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, painting the study in a blood-red hue.

Ding Dong!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

An unexpected pair of visitors arrived.

"Excuse me, Xu Mingsang."

Under Xu Ming's instructions, the maid quickly led the guests to the reception room, where Xu Ming saw Yukinoshita Haruno with a big smile on her face.

Behind her, Yukino Yukinoshita bowed slightly and whispered, "Sorry to bother you," which was her way of greeting her.

After some pleasantries, the two sat down in the living room.

While the maid was preparing tea and snacks, Xu Ming looked at Yukinoshita with curiosity.

Today she was dressed like a career woman, with a hint of black peeking out from under her white shirt, and a fitted skirt that perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure.

She exudes a mature, professional woman's charm.

The younger sister, Yukino, was still wearing her school uniform, as if she had just been dragged over by her older sister after school.

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Miss Yukinoshita, what brings you here today...?"

"Yukino and I came here today specifically to thank you."

Yukino Yukinoshita stopped smiling, placed her hands on her knees in a serious manner, and then bowed deeply to Xu Ming.

Yukino seemed somewhat reluctant, but still made a similar gesture.

"There's no need for a separate thank you, after all, I received payment from your family, I'm just doing my job for money."

Xu Ming waved his hand.

His mercenary remarks made Yukino Yukinoshita frown.

Yukinoshita, however, remained calm and explained.

"It's not for that reason."

It was because of you that my sister and I cleared up the misunderstanding and made up.

So, thank you so much for your help!

Yukinoshita bowed again as she spoke.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but pout.

"There's no need to clear up any misunderstandings; we never had any misunderstandings to begin with. I've always been this way."

Yukinoshita smiled, her smile carrying a hint of doting affection.

Then she suddenly reached out and gently stroked her younger sister's nose.

"ah!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was startled, looking a bit like a frightened little rabbit.

She quickly came to her senses and realized that she was in front of strangers.

A blush immediately appeared on her cheeks, and she glared at her older sister with some annoyance.

"Yukinoshita Haruno! What are you doing!?"

Yukinoshita Haruno completely ignored her words, instead touching her cheek and sighing like an old woman:

"You're such a dishonest child!"

Although she said that, Xu Ming, who was sitting opposite her, saw a hint of pleasure flash in her eyes.

Yukino's face turned even redder, all from anger.

"You...!"

Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously wanted to unleash her level 10 proficiency in Zuan language.

But when she thought about how her older sister, with whom she had just reconciled, was on the other end, she suddenly found it hard to say something, and she became so angry that she became depressed.

"Alright, alright~ There are still outsiders here~"

If Yukino-chan wants to act cute, your older sister can grant your wish when we get back~

Yukino suddenly pulled Yukino into her arms, comforting her like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Chapter 404 Sisters

Yukino Yukinoshita was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

You started it all...! Never mind, I'm not angry! I'm not angry at all!

Xu Ming, sitting opposite him, took in everything.

The two sisters have a very good relationship.

He almost blurted it out.

One can imagine what Yukino Yukinoshita's expression would be if Xu Ming said those words.

After sitting for a while, the Yukino sisters, seeing that it was getting late, said goodbye.

Xu Ming politely asked them to stay a moment longer before seeing them to the door.

After all, it's already dark, and it wouldn't be good to let two girls who aren't very familiar with each other stay too late.

The three of them went outside and saw a Cadillac parked by the roadside. A butler, dressed in a tuxedo and looking to be about forty or fifty years old, was standing by the car, waiting for them.

Yukino took her younger sister's hand quite naturally.

Yukino, the younger sister, seemed still angry about being teased earlier and shoved her hand away.

Who knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was not angry at all. Instead, she directly stuffed her sister's right arm between her breasts and pressed her whole body against it, looking more intimate than lovers.

"What are you doing?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was immediately embarrassed. She subconsciously raised her head and scanned the surrounding scene. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention to them.

"Oh dear~ I'm just doing what an older sister should do."

Yukinoshita Haruno looked completely at ease.

"Whose older sister would stick so close!"

Yukino was both amused and exasperated.

Xu Ming felt he had something to say about this.

He watched the two sisters bickering and playing around until he got into the car.

Despite the sisters' constant bickering, the older sister, Yukino, is always teasing her younger sister, Yukino, who often gets angry and embarrassed. It seems their relationship is even worse than before.

In fact, the atmosphere between the two was completely different from when Xu Ming first met them.

At that time, Yukino Yukinoshita truly treated her older sister with the same indifference and aloofness one would show to a stranger.

Now it seems more like the helplessness of a cold younger sister facing a scheming older sister.

This can be considered a good thing.

Xu Ming watched as the Cadillac disappeared into the night...

Yukino Shino silently watched the lights flowing outside the car window.

Yukino, the younger sister, was already very tired.

Yukino looked like a sleepy cat, her eyes half-closed and her little head bobbing up and down.

It's her fault too.

Today, as soon as Yukino got out of school, she took Yukino by car to visit Xu Ming.

She was going on a business trip abroad in a couple of days, and Xu Ming had just moved and settled in, so it was a rare treat that they both had some free time these past two days.

It was only out of necessity that I, Yang, chose to visit Xu Ming's house this evening.

The three chatted for a while and had some tea and snacks. Before they knew it, it was already seven or eight o'clock.

Yukinoshita declined Xu Ming's offer to stay for dinner and then immediately took her younger sister home.

Seeing her younger sister looking exhausted, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a pang of sympathy and let her lean on her shoulder.

Seeing that her younger sister quickly fell asleep, Yukinoshita Haruno whispered to the butler in front of her:

"Butler, is there a shortcut that will get us back faster?"

The butler thought for a moment and answered in a low voice:
