Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

New: Makeup LV4 LV9

[Other Skills]: Kendo (LV8), Archery (LV7), etc.

[Skill Points]: 36

There really was a change on the panel; the makeup skill suddenly jumped from level 4 to level 9, which was very unusual and had never happened before.

Gao Yumo then began to investigate the cause of this incident, realizing that the system must have given him something new.

He went to the kitchen first, intending to take a good look at the system's problems there. When the girl asked him a question, he said he would answer it later. The girls looked at him with some confusion and thought he was thinking about it. In the end, they focused their attention on Mashiro, who was eating a pineapple bun.

However, all they could see was that Mashiro's temperament and appearance had changed drastically since yesterday, but they didn't know why. After all, most of the girls present didn't know much about makeup. The one who knew the most was probably Hayasaka Ai, but even she didn't have the skills.

"But isn't Mashiro's aura a bit too cold for school?" Eriri said, glancing at Kaguya without realizing it, but quickly looking away. Kaguya noticed, but just smiled and didn't care. She knew herself, but Mashiro's aura wasn't as cold as her own.

When Gao Yumo arrived at the kitchen, he made sure no one was paying attention to him before he fully activated the system.

The system, which previously only had a few functions, now has other options. When he clicked on it, a letter-like icon appeared in the upper left corner where there was nothing before, with a red dot on it.

This should be a hint, right? It lets him know the answer, so he didn't look at the other new things for the time being, and directly clicked on the letter icon with the red dot to take a look.

After clicking, there was only one letter. I opened it and realized, "Oh, I see."

The system had originally run out of energy and entered a dormant state, retaining only basic functions for the host to use.

There is only one energy remaining for summoning.

Now absorbing the scattered energy in the world

The system has been restored to the official version 1.00!

new features:

1. The Otherworld Summoning Module has been restored. Otherworld summoning can be performed by injecting energy. The system does not provide energy; the host must find the energy source independently.

2. Added a skill upgrade critical hit module. When the host is highly focused on doing something, a skill upgrade may result in a critical hit, although the probability is very small. Reward: The first upgrade is guaranteed to be a critical hit.

3. Added backpack module

4. Added Harem module

5. Fixed a bug related to host leveling up. Previously, due to some reason, the experience gained did not match the actual experience gained. Compensation will now be provided through experience gain and double skill points.

6. Added a task module

7. Please look forward to the new version upgrade.

That's all. There are only 6 updates in total. What Gao Yumo wanted to know is already in there. You can also take a look at the others. Speaking of which, it's been so many years since it was restored. I don't know if the system is too powerful and that's why it's restoring so slowly, or if it's just too bad. But it's already pretty good for him.

At least the system's presence should be more noticeable now; before, it felt like the system was becoming almost dispensable.

Let's first look at the easiest-to-understand module, the backpack. After opening it, a backpack like the one in Minecraft appears in front of him. He counted 30 slots, which he felt should be enough, since he usually doesn't carry much when he goes out.

After confirming once again that no one was watching, Gao Yumo picked up the kitchen knife beside her and tried to put things in. The experiment showed that as long as she had the thought of putting things in her backpack, she could put them in. Each item took up one slot. Gao Yumo put the kitchen knife in and took it out smoothly. As long as she had the thought, she could take it out. This was pretty good. It meant that she could carry 30 more items. She just didn't know if there were any size or weight restrictions.

Gao Yumo tried putting the food into the refrigerator, and it worked. The refrigerator was so big, but it only took up one compartment. The food inside didn't fall out when the refrigerator was put in; instead, it was put in as well, and the backpack treated it as a whole.

Following this logic, we can try using a backpack later. It should work the same way. That is, when you put away a container-type item, the contents inside are counted as one item along with the container. In that case, you can put even more in those 30 slots.

Moreover, Gao Yumo did not feel any discomfort when she put a refrigerator in, so there should be no weight limit. At least one refrigerator did not reach the limit. She took the refrigerator out and plugged the power back in.

What we don't know yet is whether we can bring animals in. We can try buying a chicken later to see if it survives after we bring it in, and also whether the flow of time is the same inside and outside the backpack.

However, he is already quite satisfied with the backpack module. The system is finally starting to work, unlike before when he often ignored its existence.

Then, looking at the next module, the summoning system module actually requires the user to provide its own energy. Gao Yumo is completely helpless right now. Where would he get such a thing? Could he ask Gabriel and the others to help him charge it? He doesn't have any himself, and the system doesn't provide it itself. But that makes sense; the system itself probably doesn't have much energy right now, so it's understandable.

No wonder this summoning module has been unusable ever since I summoned Sakura; it turns out it needs to be charged by itself. I guess I'll just have to leave it for now.

Next, the ability to crit after the skill update was something he hadn't expected. He noticed that the system update time was early this morning, but there was no notification, so he didn't notice it at all. After all, he rarely checks the system. The only time he met the trigger condition was when he was doing Mashiro's makeup. He was very engrossed in it because Mashiro is really cute.

So, the system's first guaranteed critical hit reward was triggered. You might think it's a waste, but looking at Masashiro now, the effect doesn't feel like a waste at all. It's pretty good. He can help girls with makeup in the future. Of course, another reason is that the system is giving out a lot more skill points now, and with double skill point acquisition, skills are much easier to upgrade than before. You don't have to be so stingy with skill points like before.

Moreover, by LV9, it was no longer an ordinary skill. He applied very light makeup to Mashiro, but it completely changed her temperament. If it weren't for the skill, how could a normal person like 947 possibly do that? After all, it was such light makeup; it was almost like casual magic, wasn't it?

Even an ordinary person with LV9 skills can't do that, let alone a normal person who can't possibly 1v9. It requires talent, but Gao Yumo achieved it easily through the system.

The only thing he had ever reached LV9 on his own was programming, and that was because he had mastered programming each time he had time-traveled three times. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to reach 1v9 on his own; it would take an ordinary person a lifetime of specializing in one thing to achieve that level.

However, the trigger conditions were low, and Gao Yumo considered himself quite lucky. But he just regarded it as an extra reward and thought it wouldn't matter whether he got it or not in the future, since he had skill points anyway.

Let's move on to the next one, the harem module. It's a very straightforward name, and he likes it a lot.

After a quick glance at the introduction, it's basically a function that binds Gao Yumo's harem to his system. He can use it to view the information, location, and safety of the girls he's already linked with. It would be even better if it had a teleportation function, but it's a pity it doesn't, but it's still pretty good.

Currently, only Suoh Yuki is bound to him, which tells us the conditions for binding: that kind of thing. But there's no need to rush, since binding doesn't offer any bonuses for now. Looking at information and locations is useless to him. The only useful thing is to see if there's any danger around the girls, but he can only see and can't teleport them, so it's not very useful. He can only issue warnings, and there's nothing else he can do.

I don't know if new features will be added in the next update. As it stands, this module, while not extremely user-friendly, is still pretty good.

Chapter 94 Mission Module, and Number of Summonings to Another World (2 Updates)

Next, the bug that caused the problem when he upgraded was fixed. This was probably a minor issue caused by the system not being fully activated before. Gao Yumo hadn't taken it seriously before, but it's even better now that it's fixed. His level directly reached level 20. This is the level upgrade brought to him by those 4 comics.

His skill points also jumped to 36, enough to upgrade five or six skills to LV9. After all, when he learns a skill, he usually starts at LV2 or LV3, and with a little more effort, he can reach even higher levels.

Gao Yumo directly upgraded her painting, cooking, and writing skills to LV9, since these were all LV8 skills.

The others can wait for now, no!

There was another skill he felt was very important, which was the teaching skill. Gao Yumo upgraded this skill directly with skill points. Basically, all of this skill was upgraded with skill points, but Gao Yumo felt it was worth it. Now, whether she was teaching Umaru and Yuki to draw or Sakura and Kato Megumi to cook, she could feel their rapid progress. After the skill was upgraded, it would only be stronger, right?

Teaching LV7 LV9!

Seeing the skills on the panel getting stronger and stronger, Gao Yumo was in a great mood.

Looking at the last one, the task module, Gao Yumo felt it was strange that there were only tasks now, but given the previous state of the system, it seemed quite normal.

Side Quest: Winner of the Newcomer Contest (Completed)

Stay tuned for other missions.

After reviewing the missions, Gao Yumo felt quite good. They were all generated based on his experiences and inner desires, so he didn't need to do anything special; he could just continue on the current path.

However, he didn't expect to see it until he had already completed the side quest. But the final results of the newcomer competition hadn't even been announced yet, and he had already completed the quest. Sure enough, he was already the first in the inner tier.

But then again, who else could be number one if not him?

He accepted the task directly, but a new task didn't appear immediately, which was a bit disappointing. However, the reward was still pretty good. The more skill points the better, but the best one was the next one: a summon to another world. Since he couldn't charge it himself, this was the only way he knew to get more attempts, since he didn't know if someone else could charge it for him.

As for the other tasks, none of them can be rushed. Although he really wanted the reward of gold skill points, which would allow him to acquire a level 10 skill, he still had to complete them slowly over time.

After reviewing all the new content of the system upgrade, Gao Yumo returned to the restaurant. Only a few minutes had passed. Zhenbai hadn't even finished her pineapple bun yet, but Gabriel had already finished her breakfast. She ate really fast, even though she had only been downstairs a short while earlier than Zhenbai.

"You can go to school by yourselves today. I'm going to take Mashiro to her school," Gao Yumo said to the girls.

The girls nodded, but Eriri still wouldn't let her off the hook; Gao Yumo hadn't answered the question yet!

"Well, actually, it's because I was so engrossed in doing her makeup that all my makeup skills improved and leveled up. I'm just that talented." Gao Yumo still didn't want too many people to know about the system, so he could only use this method to get by. But for the girls, his explanation was very convincing. After all, in their minds, Gao Yumo was that kind of person who would inexplicably improve a certain skill. In his words, he would have broken through.

"Is that so?! You're really hurting my feelings! You're a guy, and your makeup skills are better than ours?" Eriri exclaimed loudly, clearly indignant!

The only one who knew the truth, Chestnut, simply watched the others silently. This kind of knowing but not being able to speak might be painful for some, but it was just a normal thing for her. But, system upgrade? I wonder if she can get that kind of energy charging he wants.

“You girls don’t wear makeup much anyway. After all, you’re all naturally beautiful and don’t need that skill. It’s normal that you’re not as good at it as I am.” Gao Yumo shook his head. His words made the girls happy, and they stopped worrying about how he was better at makeup than them. They really didn’t wear makeup much.

“You’ve already said that.” Eriri seemed still unconvinced, but she was secretly overjoyed. After sitting down, she looked at Mashiro and thought of something else, but someone else had already said it.

"Brother, shouldn't we remove Mashiro's makeup? Otherwise, she won't be able to handle it at school. It'll be obvious when people talk to her, which would be bad." It was Sakura who said this, mainly because she was worried that Mashiro would be bullied at school.

"That's true. I'll redo her makeup later and make it look like yesterday, okay?" Gao Yumo looked at Zhenbai's current appearance and realized that, knowing her true personality, the makeup was very incongruous.

"What I mean is, we don't need to do Mashiro's makeup anymore, right?" Sakura looked at her brother. Was her brother addicted to makeup?

"I don't wear makeup," Mashiro said, looking up before continuing to eat.

The others were all stunned. Zhenbai would actually say something like that. Could it be that Gao Yumo had just praised them for looking good even without makeup, and now that she was the only one wearing makeup, she thought Gao Yumo was saying she wasn't pretty? Could she be overthinking things?

"Okay, if you don't want to wear makeup, I'll remove it for you in a bit." Gao Yumo nodded. Regardless of whether she had thought about it or not, she had already said she didn't want it, so she didn't have to.

.

After removing Zhenbai's makeup, Gao Yumo couldn't resist giving her another makeover. However, this time she only became prettier without much change. Combined with the clothes she chose for herself, it achieved a 1+1 greater than 2 effect. But her own temperament remained unchanged, and she still looked like a naturally innocent girl.

The girls had no objections, and Zhenbai herself had no objections either, because Gao Yumo had already explained to her that she was being given makeup because she was pretty, not unattractive. Makeup doesn't mean being unattractive; it just makes her even prettier.

So she accepted it. Gao Yumo still wore light makeup, but this light makeup was far superior to the various heavy makeup looks worn by other girls. That's the power of the system; it was finally showing.

Chapter 95 Love at First Sight (3rd Update)

Gao Yumo brought Zhenbai directly to Shuigao, where a female teacher was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Mashiro, she walked over and greeted her: "Mashiro, it's been a long time! How have you been? Are you settling into this country?"

It was obvious that she knew Chihiro Mashiro, and Mashiro looked at her and said, "Chihiro, I'm fine."

She remained expressionless, even when facing this acquaintance of hers.

The female teacher, whom she called Chihiro, clearly understood Mashiro's personality, so she didn't mind. Instead, she looked at Gao Yumo and introduced herself: "I am Mashiro's older cousin, Chihiro Sengoku."

"Hello, I'm Gao Yumo." Gao Yumo smiled and nodded at her. Having this cousin of Zhenbai at school, even though she seemed unreliable, at least Gao Yumo could trust Zhenbai a little, right? Not sure, after all, this cousin did seem unreliable, and Gao Yumo knew her well enough to know that she wasn't very reliable.

After glancing at Mashiro, she leaned close to Gao Yumo and whispered, "How's it like living with Mashiro?"

Her sleazy appearance shows that she's completely unreliable.

Gao Yumo simply looked at her with a formal smile, very standardly.

Seeing Gao Yumo like this, Qian Shi Qianxun curled her lips, finding it boring that he wouldn't even let her tease him: "If my Mashiro gets bullied at your place, I won't let you get away with it."

"Don't worry, Mashiro will only be happy with me." Gao Yumo said this very seriously.

Chihiro looked at Gao Yumo seriously for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right, that's what a man should say. I believe in you."

"Alright, I'll leave Mashiro to you now. I'll pick her up after school." Gao Yumo nodded with a smile and smiled back at Mashiro.

Mashiro nodded expressionlessly; she did know what going to school meant. Chihiro chuckled and patted Takayuki's shoulder: "Don't worry about her, leave her to me. You pick her up after school, and remember to be on time, otherwise Mashiro might just disappear."

Gao Yumo glanced at her speechlessly. Was this something her cousin, Zhenbai, could say?

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there on time."

Chihiro took Mashiro into class. Gao Yumo felt much more at ease leaving her in her care. Although her carefree cousin seemed unreliable, after chatting for a while, she seemed like a nice person.

However, Gao Yumo did not intend to leave just like that. He had asked for leave for the whole morning, and Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka approved it very quickly. He was planning to sneak into the water later to take a look, which was easy for him.

Before that, let's take a look around the school.

"The surrounding environment is quite nice, and there are no thugs or anything like that, so I feel much more at ease."

Gao Yumo quickly looked around the area near the school. He was on a road with few students going to school, so he ran much faster.

However, being fast has its downsides; you're more likely to run into people when you turn a corner.

He reacted quickly and stopped the car instantly. However, the other person was not so lucky. She probably noticed someone running over and tried to back away, but Gao Yumo had already stopped, while she herself ended up sitting on the ground.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have run when I turned the corner." Gao Yumo looked at the girl sitting on the ground, reached out to help her up, and seeing her school uniform, he realized she must be a student from Shuigao High School. What a sin! This time it was entirely his fault. He thought no one would walk this way.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, ouch~" She lowered her head, saying that she was fine, but she still couldn't help but cry out in pain. It seemed that she had sprained her ankle. This was Gao Yumo's fault. Moreover, she looked very thin. If Gao Yumo had been in her shoes, it might not have been as simple as a sprained ankle. She would definitely have fainted.

She grabbed Gao Yumo's hand and he pulled her up, but because she had twisted her ankle, she felt a sharp pain and almost fell again, standing there on one leg.

"Are you alright?" Gao Yumo quickly helped her up. This time it was all his fault, so of course he had to take good care of this girl. But the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. Brown ponytail, wasn't that Aoyama Nanami?
