Zongman: I can modify the status bar

Of course, news still has some value.

"An urgent news interruption. More than a dozen men are missing near *** Street today. Residents nearby please pay attention to safety and avoid going out at night..."

"Why are they all men? Normally, according to our inherent cognition, shouldn't it be a young girl who went missing?" Haruki couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know, but even if it's far away, you should not go out at night. Your sister will protect you at home!" Shizuka Hiratsuka said to Haruki in a manly tone.

"Um……"

After the news interruption, the TV returned to its original boring program, and the only sound in the living room was the sound of people eating melons.

This kind of thing is nothing new here, it happens occasionally, most of the time it's probably because these people joined some organization, and then...

In short, nothing must have happened to the person in the end, so Shizuka Hiratsuka acted so calm and didn't take it seriously at all.

But is this really the case?

……

Chapter 278: Two Ways to Eat Milk Cap

do not know.

Although Haruki is very concerned about the news just now, considering his current strength, it is better not to act rashly. He cannot be in a hurry to collect intelligence. Instead of thinking so much, it would be better to find Yukino to replenish his magic.

"By the way, didn't you have something to tell me before? Now that we're home and the watermelon is almost finished, you can finally tell me, right?"

Haruki doesn't do those roundabout ways. It's really unnecessary for two people to make it so tiring to get along with each other. It's fine to just play it straight with each other and go straight ahead.

"Well, I do have one, but I'm still considering how and in what way to tell you. But I can be sure that I will tell you..."

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's serious expression, Haruki didn't know how to respond.

"Should I say you're worthy of being a [Mandarin teacher]? You even have to be careful with your words and sentences when talking to your own husband?"

"Uh... not really, the main thing is..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka hesitated, and it was indeed a bit dishonest.

Haruki didn't know what to say, so he could only use traditional means. He moved towards Shizuka Hiratsuka and then hugged her. Because they were at home, both of them were wearing thin clothes. Shizuka Hiratsuka could clearly feel his broad chest and solid muscles.

Admittedly, Haruki's height is not as tall as those models on TV or basketball stars who are all 1.89 meters or nearly 2 meters, but he is considered a little giant in the local area. Coupled with his strong muscles, he looks more perfect because of this proportion, and there is no "top-heavy" imbalance.

"Can you hear my heartbeat?"

"Um……"

The two hearts were beating rapidly, as if resonating with each other, and soon Shizuka Hiratsuka also relaxed.

All this happened too suddenly and was too unreal. Only the sound of our heartbeats and each other's breathing at this moment made this feeling somewhat real.

"Where are you from, or who are you?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka finally mustered up the courage to attack. In essence, this wasn't something excessive, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was worried that if she delved too deeply into it, Haruki might leave because of her greed. Perhaps it would be wise to just pretend to be confused and enjoy the other person like she did before.

But when Shizuka Hiratsuka saw the other person's unusual appearance, her belief in pretending to be asleep began to waver. When she thought about the fact that the other person had appeared in front of her out of thin air, would he also disappear out of thin air?

I don't know. Shizuka Hiratsuka knows nothing. She even knows nothing about Haruki. Maybe it was possible at the beginning, and even now she can deceive herself by saying that Haruki is the child of destiny sent by God, but can she really keep up such a lie forever?

do not know.

"Let's take our time and go through this. Don't be impatient. I can probably guess what you're thinking, so just listen to me."

Yaohui also made up his mind. If he continued to be in such an unclear state, he would be under a lot of pressure. At least when he was most helpless, it was the lovely Jing in front of him who took him in. Otherwise, he might have to sleep on the streets. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is his savior.

There's nothing wrong with showing off. At worst, I can only show off part of it...

Haruki slowly loosened his arms around Shizuka Hiratsuka, then adjusted her body so that she could lie down in his arms. Otherwise, it would have been quite awkward for them to hug each other with their waists twisted like before.

Shizuka Hiratsuka let Haruki do whatever he wanted and snuggled in Haruki's arms, while Haruki leaned on the sofa. This posture was much more comfortable and relaxing.

It's just that Haruki's hands habitually became dishonest...

Overcome all difficulties and obstacles quickly, and then grasp the heart.

The other party naturally did not resist, but his breathing became a little disordered and his body unconsciously stiffened a little...

What Haruki didn't expect was that Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to be even bolder and more direct than he imagined. Don't you like this? Then why not be more direct!

Shizuka Hiratsuka directly untied herself, then guided her other hand to press on the empty spot on her other side, and then returned to her original position contentedly. Both sides should develop in a balanced manner!

Well, it feels pretty good...

"You should have seen that I can tell which prizes are in the prize ball. In other words, if I want, I can definitely draw any prize I want."

Haruki knew very well that the most obvious exposure of his ability was definitely during the lottery just now. If he had just drawn the first prize at once, it might have been okay, but Haruki looked as if he knew whether there was a prize inside. He touched every ball in the box and then found the prize buried inside.

"Well, although I also thought of some seemingly reasonable excuses to give you to comfort myself, your confident expression at that time made it impossible for me to deceive myself..." Hiratsuka Shizuya expressed her thoughts.

"Well, is it possible that I never intended to hide anything from you?"

Haruki climbed up the tip of the breast and began to knead it. The nerve density here is much higher than the surrounding area, so Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression also changed.

"You didn't mean to hide it from me, that...what does it mean..."

"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. So, that's actually one of my abilities, or maybe it's a superpower, according to your understanding? Anyway, I can see what's going on inside the ball just by touching it."

In fact, Haruki's ability is more than that. He should be able to concentrate and see from a distance, but he really can't do it now. If I guess correctly, it should require a lot of magic power to support it. But there is no point in explaining it in such a complicated way. Just telling Shizuka Hiratsuka simply and directly should be the best choice.

"Doesn't that mean you are Superman?"

When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard Haruki admit that he had super powers, her eyes lit up, as if the impact under her breasts was not enough.

"Uh... well, I'm not Superman, but..."

Haruki didn't know what to say for a moment, and almost forgot that Shizuka Hiratsuka was actually a girl who liked to read hot-blooded comics, and was particularly interested in such cool things.

"You don't have any mission, do you?"

With just one attack, he managed to trick out so many things. Shizuka Hiratsuka's identity is truly complex...

"No, my true identity is actually the [Demon King]!"

……

Chapter 279: Open Your Heart

"Ok!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka responded and said nothing more, which also confused Haruki.

"Just a quick "hmm" and that's all? Don't you have anything else to ask?"

Normal people would definitely have a lot of questions when hearing such nonsense words, and it would be more reasonable to at least complain about it, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was obviously very stable.

"Isn't he just the kind of demon king you see in works like the Brave Demon King? Keep talking... I'm listening, and don't stop..."

After Shizuka Hiratsuka's reminder, Haruki remembered that he had stopped the work in his hands without paying attention, so he continued to pick the two grapes in his hand.

"Okay, then I'll continue..." Yaohui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would accept what he said so easily. That would be much simpler. However, he would only explain some of the visible parts and would not reveal everything. On the one hand, it was really troublesome to explain, and on the other hand, he really didn't fully understand it. It was the best choice to explain it in a way that the other party could understand.

"The current situation is that the magic power in my body is very low and needs to be slowly recovered, so most of my abilities are unusable. Yesterday, I suddenly fainted because my magic power was exhausted and I forced myself to use my abilities. However, during the lottery today, I felt that my magic power had recovered a little, so I tried to use the minimum ability. As long as I touched the ball, I could read the information inside, so I easily won the two grand prizes."

"Well... I already understand this point. I felt something was wrong when I saw your expression at that time..." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, stretched her arms behind her back, and hugged Haruki.

"So the problem I'm facing now is that I need to quickly recover my magic power."

Haruki didn't want to explain too much. Although it was very general, if the other party was Hiratsuka Shizuka, she would definitely understand.

"What should we do specifically?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked very relaxed. She was not alert at all because of Haruki's words. Not only did she not say any nonsense, but she went straight to the point and expressed her attitude that she was willing to help Haruki recover his magic power.

"Well, actually, I'm still figuring out the specific method, but when I went to accompany you to school today, I could clearly feel that the speed at which my body recovers magic power has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times. Of course, it's also recovering slowly now, but it's too slow, so slow that it can be almost ignored." Outer "Skirt -1" zero) three "7 seven. 4. Four; zero; 7.

"So, the problem is in the school? Or something in the school? That's a reasonable line of reasoning, right? Do you have any idea what it is specifically?"

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was enjoying herself at the moment, her reasoning and analytical abilities, which far exceeded those of ordinary people, did not seem to be affected. She had a good brain, a good personality, and money... Who could resist being tempted by such a person?

"Well, actually, I did find something..."

Haruki's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He found it difficult to talk about the conclusion he had reached before. After all, the time was too short. If the two of them had been an old couple who had been together for a long time, Haruki was confident that he could say it without hesitation, but the reality was not like that.

"It's a little hard to explain, isn't it? That's okay, you just need to tell me what I can do for you, and you can talk about the rest when you want to..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka closed her eyes and lay in Haruki's arms. She seemed to be really not bothered by Haruki's refusal to tell her what happened, but how could she not want to know? She wanted to know too much about the man under her, but she was afraid that if she pushed him too hard, he would be scared away. That's why she wanted to give him more time, so that after the two of them made greater progress, they could really open their hearts to each other.

"It's not hard to say, but I'm still uncertain... The source of the magic power I absorb seems to be these young students. They must be young people in the puberty stage. Of course, they must also be relatively mature. The feeling when we passed by the junior high school was nothing compared to the feeling at Sobu High School."

Haruki didn't mention the part about his contact with Yukino, but only stated the facts that were basically confirmed and there was no problem. There was no need to be so thorough with a smart person like Hiratsuka Shizuka. He just needed to truthfully state the real conditions and the other party would figure it out by themselves.

"I think I understand what you mean. It's that adolescents, or preferably young people in or nearing adulthood, exude the magic you need. Sobu High School happens to be the place with the most young people who meet these criteria..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka closed her eyes and thought carefully about the existing conditions.

"Then what I can do is to find a way to get you to go to Sobu High School to absorb as much magic power as possible!"

"Well, that's certainly the case for now, but there's no need to rush. I'm still exploring other possibilities. If there's a more convenient way, I won't bother you like this..."

"What are you talking about!" Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly covered Haruki's mouth with her hand, "How can you say it's troublesome? Have you forgotten that I am your legal wife?"

Without thinking, she blurted out some unreserved words. Shizuka Hiratsuka blushed, but she did not escape. Instead, she looked at Haruki with a flash of eyes.

"Even if you are the Demon King, I will be the witch by your side. We will always be the closest people..."

Perhaps such a confession was too weak, Shizuka Hiratsuka fell completely silent after she finished speaking. Perhaps this was just wishful thinking in her eyes. Now Haruki had no magic power and could stay with her, but if Haruki recovered all his abilities in the future, would he still be able to hold her and enjoy the time like he did now? She had no idea.

Haruki could feel the beauty in his arms trembling, and it was the kind of trembling that made her feel very insecure, so Haruki could only hold her tighter to make her feel a little more at ease.

"Why don't you ask me what I plan to do when I regain all my powers?"

Yaohui made up his mind and decided that it would be better to just say some things directly, otherwise if he kept them in his heart forever, there would definitely be problems.

"So...what are you going to do?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka had actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but she just didn't dare to face it. The person in front of her was as illusory as a dream. He was so close, but he felt so far away.

"Well, let me think about it... If my future goal is to conquer the world, would you still dare to join me?"

Changing the offense and defense, leaving the problems to the opponent, this is Yaohui's strategy.

"Conquer the world?!"

"I also need to go!!!"

……

Chapter 280 Military Advisor Jing is online

"I'm going!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes instantly became extremely determined, as if she would have no problem following Haruki to become the enemy of the world in the next second.

"That's fine, don't worry. At least I won't leave you on my own accord. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility of something unexpected happening..."

Haruki just said it casually. Although he was completely blind in this time travel, he could still guess something from the development of the story.

The two previous times were actually similar to practice mode to some extent. It can be said that there was basically no difficulty. They were just drills to allow Haruki to adapt to certain rules in the future.

The world today is obviously much more complicated than before. Almost everyone died in the plane crash at the beginning, and the real battle has just begun.

"Unexpected situation...what do you mean?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka naturally didn't know what Haruki meant. There was no foreshadowing at all, so who knew what it meant.

"It's okay. Anyway, let's see how much I've recovered so far. You get up first. If I faint later, I'll have to trouble you."

Haruki looked into Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes and asked her for help very frankly.

"Yeah! I understand." After Haruki said this, Shizuka Hiratsuka understood what Haruki meant. He wanted to test his ability, just like yesterday, and by the way, test how much of his magic power had recovered and whether it had reached the minimum standard.

Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up and tidied up her messy clothes, then leaned against Haruki, ready to hug Haruki who had lost consciousness.

Everything is different, start testing now.

Haruki focused all his attention on himself, a process that required great concentration.

A few seconds later, the familiar light blue data panel finally appeared in front of Haruki, showing Haruki's status.

Magic: 0.67%.

Status: Magic power is about to run out.

As for other skill attributes, there are no major changes. Most of them cannot be used due to insufficient magic power, and they have also been split up and become more detailed.

For example, the observation ability to view target information is divided into two basic categories. Living things such as humans and animals require more magic power, while ordinary object information requires much less magic power. This is why Yaohui used it so many times during the lottery without any problems.

As for checking himself, it would naturally be counted in the former category. Haruki's magic power was now decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Haruki quickly turned off his ability to preserve his hard-earned magic power.
