The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

If you asked Nanmao to hand over money that an ordinary person couldn't spend in a lifetime, he would definitely be willing, but this is the same principle as the old days when a locked-room bank robbery could be carried out as long as you wanted to.

Superpowers are all-powerful; they can do almost anything they want. However, such overpowered actions greatly disrupt the balance of the "game" and cause superpowered individuals to quickly lose interest in the world!

The challenges and the anticipation—only after experiencing the work life can one truly appreciate the bliss of peaceful solitude. Lying at home idly waiting for afternoon tea and dessert, versus returning to a quiet room alone after a long day's work, showering, and refreshingly greeted by a long-awaited treat on a clean table—which brings more anticipation and happiness? It goes without saying, doesn't it?

To have a fulfilling life, you absolutely cannot rely on superpowers or Nanmao!

Well, you asked what if I've earned enough money? Need I say more? I've already earned enough money through the hard work of an ordinary person like myself, so of course I won't work and will enjoy social welfare. Nobody would voluntarily go to work if they already have enough money.

Anyway, Kusuo Saiki was going out for breakfast. As he closed the door, a cat lingered, not following him, so Kusuo Saiki turned around.

Nanmao's expression: 0 mouth 0

What's wrong? Do you also want to live alone? It's okay, I'll find a job myself.

Nanmao shook her head frantically: "Wait, wait, wait a minute, why do you have to work when I'm here?"

As I've already explained, ordinary people living alone definitely need to work, and the moment they ask their families for money, they've already lost! At least while I'm still ordinary, I should experience true ordinariness. You should understand, right?

"Will you stop working after your superpowers are restored?"

If his superpowers returned, it would be difficult to find a regular part-time job. Saiki Kusuo's expression immediately darkened.

Nanmao realized: So that's how it is, the social experience entertainment game of the main body.

According to Kousuke's deduction, his true form might suddenly regain its superpowers one day, so he probably wants to cherish the present moment.

Nanmao followed closely behind.

Just as adults protect children's childhood, he wants to absolutely protect the original person's expectations for an ordinary life!

As he stepped outside, Kusuo Saiki pondered.

According to the game's setting, everyone has limited starting capital, and the game provides many job opportunities, including a large number of part-time opportunities, so finding a job should be easy.

But what kind of job should I look for?

As soon as Kusuo Saiki came downstairs, he saw several small advertisements posted along the stairwell.

Art academy nude models, working part-time on weekends, 300 yuan per session?

The game currency here is not cheap. Yesterday, I ate three bowls of noodles, which cost me only 60. If I save money, I can work for two or two weeks and not have to work anymore, right?

Kusuo Saiki was slightly tempted.

Suddenly, a tail tore the advertisement off.

Huh? Nanmao, what are you doing?

Nanmao: "I just used my clairvoyance to check, and they've already recruited all the members!"

Well, it's an easy job where you just stand still, so it's understandable that they'd fill all the positions.

Nanmao crushed the advertisement paper into powder with her foot. Those guys actually put out ads like this just to see human bodies…

There was more than one advertisement on the wall.

The young lady's school pick-up and drop-off driver? No way. Besides, he can't drive. If he had superpowers, he could make the wheels move forward with superpowers, which would save on gas money.

Using a sparring partner with strong skills would probably mean getting beaten up. I don't want to choose that now, but I can't. If I had superpowers, I might consider joining.

Tour guide assistant? Teacher's assistant? Well... a job that doesn't require much talking would be better, and having superpowers would be nice too...

Wait, we absolutely cannot rely on superpowers!

What other jobs are there? High-paying recruitment: Science Lab Assistant? Approved by the ethics committee, now recruiting healthy teenagers. Requirements: physically fit, able to push open a door weighing at least 4 tons, and able to instantly recover from illness if sick. During the experiment, the assistant's safety will be a top priority, with monitoring of participants' physiological indicators, drug metabolism, etc... Nanmao, what are you doing?

The advertisement is not high up; even if the big cat is lying upright on the wall, it can still block the entire advertisement.

"Let me check for you... Ah! Oh no, I accidentally lost control of my strength!" Nanmao cried out inwardly. This looks like a human experiment! I don't want to participate in this kind of suspicious experiment! I wonder which pervert posted this!

Stop pretending. He loosened his grip and backed away, "Don't tear the ads down anymore. They worked hard to put them up here." Saiki Kusuo saw right through him.

Nanmao felt ashamed and slowly released its paws and backed away.

He certainly didn't intentionally tear the advertisement down.

However, accidentally scratching off five digits of a phone number and the detailed address with its paw is a mistake that any cat can make unintentionally!

Kusuo Saiki looked down and realized that the phone number had been damaged and could not be identified.

Location: He mentioned a university with comprehensive services, including undergraduate programs... but that's about it. He said the school's name was too long; couldn't it be more concise? Adding a few more words would make it easier to find.

Kusuo Saiki looked at Nanako, who stood innocently in the corner with his head down, his paws tucked into his chest in a gesture of admitting his mistake.

"Ah, I can only restore it to what it was seven or eight years ago; it will be lost forever."

Kusuo Saiki expressed his understanding. I almost forgot, although Nanmao does have a collar around his neck, it's different from my original one; it's probably a replica.

He's probably also troubled and really wants a superpower suppressor, right? Oh dear, I don't need one right now, but he could actually wear mine.

Kusuo Saiki reached out, and Nanmao was a little nervous. After all, if the main body were to remove the collar, they would discover... that this was a part that Kusuke had modified from the original one! He could actually revert to the state he was in a day ago!

Kusuo Saiki patted the cat's head.

It's forgivable for a super-powered cat to have an accident; I, who used to have accidents all the time, have no right to criticize him.

Do you have any advice for looking for a job?

Kusuo Saiki took the initiative to ask Nanako about it. Having learned from yesterday's lesson, the no-longer-omniscient Kusuo Saiki knew that he needed to ask for advice.

"What I really want is a job where I don't have to talk much, like being a waiter in a buffet restaurant? Waiters have to carry plates and change the food in large platters. Since it's a buffet, there's no rush, and it would be very rewarding to complete the task without dropping the plates!"

Oh! As expected, only superpowered people understand superpowered people!

"Let's go to the mall then. There are lots of buffet restaurants there, and oh yeah, there are also mascot costume performers! No need to say a word!"

Ah, this one works too!

Nanko used its tail to hold hands with Saiki Kusuo.

"Okay, teleport..."

No, these are all set up for ordinary people, how can they teleport instantly? Is there public transportation here?

Nanmao: "...Yes, the bus only costs two yuan, and I can help collect the fare for a round trip and waive the ticket fee."

They really care about players who have no money.

Okay, deduct 2 yuan from the breakfast money first.

Nanmao sighed, thankfully she had a hundred yuan for her main body's breakfast.

I should have given more. Why did I only think about the possibility that the main character might want a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for breakfast and gave him 100? Why didn't I also consider the possibility that he might want a dessert platter? As breakfast money, I should have given him at least 200, no, 500!

Meanwhile, Kusuo Saiki bought a five-yen breakfast on the street and boarded the bus to the mall.

While buses in other cities may have rules prohibiting animals, in the game created by Nanmao, felines can exist freely.

Of course, canines, penguins, and guineas are also acceptable.

This is a friendly city, and you won't encounter the most basic dangers posed by pets here, since the people here have a high level of basic civility.

Kusuo Saiki sat in his seat, while Nanmao lay down under the seat, resting with his eyes closed.

The superpower suppressor that Kousuke gave him was quite strong, which must have been intentional, and he didn't try to stop him.

As a result, some areas of the Dark Continent no longer have enough superpower energy to maintain normal order.

The sandworm monster that appeared on the beach back then had been sealed away forever.

The Dark Continent is a very dangerous place. After making his decision last night, he held a meeting all night and devoted all his efforts to protecting this school area.

After the message was relayed to the lords of each domain, some lords led their subordinates into the school domain to become NPCs, while others decided to protect their own territories.

Therefore, unexpected events from all sides have created a serious problem.

Nanmao's head bobbed up and down, and she unknowingly fell asleep on the bus.

Chapter 174 The Crisis of Precognitive Dreams

[Level One Alert! Level One Alert! All lords, proceed to the eastern edge of the school territory for surveillance. Hordes of dark creatures have gathered; the danger level is...]

That's great, it was just a dream... If it's a dream, then it's a precognitive dream, isn't it!

Nanmao glanced upwards at her original self, who was looking out the window, then created a white cat doll to replace herself and teleported away.

On the bus, the driver would occasionally glance at the passengers in the rearview mirror: "Hey, you in the back, are you a student?"

Is it calling me? Kusuo Saiki turned his head and looked at the driver in front of him.

"I turned the air conditioning up a bit so I can pick up the plush toy. It would be dirty if I put it on the floor, wouldn't it?"

"It's okay... he's a real cat."

"You don't need to worry about it, this is an inclusive city."

Isn't this even against cats on the ground? Kusuo Saiki pulled his leg back slightly to block the cat's body. "We'll be getting off in a few more stops."

"Oh, what I mean is..."

"Driver! Let's go!"

I think I heard a sound.

Kusuo Saiki looked up and stared ahead, while the driver was already focused on driving.

Well, they must have been speaking in a low voice. Although I don't use my hearing alone much, I know without even thinking that my hearing is very good.

My superpowers won't be restored anytime soon.

When the bus arrived at the stop, Kusuo Saiki got up from his seat.

Nanmao followed behind, panting, which caught Saiki Kusuo's attention.

Don't you like crowded places?

Indeed, telepathy is very complex in shopping malls, and he didn't like it before because he hadn't thought it through.

Kusuo Saiki suggested: You can go back, but you probably shouldn't bring your cat to work.

Nanmao shook his head frantically. The problem was solved. Although the noise from the mall was deafening, and he was so tired he felt like he could just collapse and fall asleep any moment, it didn't matter. Since he couldn't be brought to work, he could just wait at the entrance of the work area. No problem. Thinking about it that way, his break time was just around the corner!

Nanmao followed closely behind.

For Kusuo Shiki, this was the first time he had entered a shopping mall without telepathy. The noisy inner voices were gone, replaced by the mall's music and the sounds of people talking. Occasionally there were a few announcements. Apart from that, although there were many people, he could still feel that he was alone in the mall.
