I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

"Oh—so if you don't like the name of your ability, you can just tell others it's a name you chose yourself, since no one else will know anyway." Zhu Yu suddenly realized, and continued to expand on her thoughts, "I noticed that when you use your ability, you don't shout out its name like those protagonists in shonen manga. If that's the case, then shouting it out isn't important. You can even change it every day if you don't like it, rotating between them. You can even shout it randomly during a fight to disrupt the enemy's rhythm!"

Hmm, that seems to be the case... Just as his thoughts were about to slide into a dangerous abyss, Chuuya Nakahara quickly stopped himself. No, he couldn't let himself be led astray.

He continued explaining with a blank expression: "My superpower is the ability to manipulate gravity."

Zhu Yu clapped in agreement: "Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

It's a superpower that would make Newton turn in his grave; it's highly versatile, capable of both fighting and carrying sacks.

"Wouldn't it be a great advantage to work on a construction site carrying bricks?" Zhu Yu pondered, stroking her chin. "One person is better than six. Zhongyuan, if you go to work for a construction company, you'll definitely become a rising star in the construction industry."

“Uh…is that so…” Nakahara Chuuya’s lips twitched when he heard Zhu Yu’s “arrogance”. What made him even more desperate was that he actually thought her words made a damn reasonable point.

If he really does look for part-time work in this area...

Wait, that’s not right!

Chuuya Nakahara became alert. He realized that Zhu Yu's thinking was too contagious, and it was easy for people to follow her train of thought without realizing it. He quickly interrupted, "Alright, it's not safe for you to be out alone so late. Let me take you home first."

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, and seeing that her stamina was almost depleted, it was time to head home: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Zhongyuan!"

The two walked side by side under the moonlight, chatting casually.

"So how exactly does one acquire supernatural abilities?" This was the question that Zhu Yu was most interested in.

How could players not want to get their hands on such a special ability!

Mentioning this, a moment of confusion flashed across Chuuya Nakahara's face: "I don't know exactly how I obtained it. It's like one day I suddenly gained the ability to use this magical power..."

"A sudden acquisition?" Zhu Yu fell into deep thought. But for the player, she was certain to obtain the superpower; the difference lay in how to trigger the conditions for acquisition. Perhaps completing more tasks would trigger the conditions for activating the superpower?

She hadn't forgotten that the MP display in her "Battle" panel wasn't activated yet; only supernatural abilities would require a mana bar, right?

As they spoke, they finally arrived at the entrance of the staff dormitory.

Zhu Yu chose to speak again: "Thank you again for your help, Zhongyuan-jun. But how did you happen to be there today?"

Indeed, when Zhu Yu was about to enter directly, she noticed a yellow exclamation mark suddenly appearing above the heads of the NPCs in the Central Plains.

The mission is coming!

So she quickly chose a conversation.

Perhaps it was because the night was too deep and the moonlight too pale, but when he met those calm eyes, he unconsciously voiced his inner sorrow.

"Because I've been investigating the disappearance of orphans on Raibo Street recently..."

[Side Quest: Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing children in Yokohama. Please join Chuuya Nakahara in finding the missing children and restoring a peaceful life for the children of Yokohama!]

[Mission Rewards: EXP +50000, Yen +100000, Random Special Ability]

The opportunity is here! Zhu Yu's eyes lit up.

Chapter 6 The Hammer of Freedom

In the still of the night, the desolate abandoned factory was quietly illuminated by the moonlight. There were no lights inside, and it lay like a lurking black beast on this overgrown open space, waiting to devour every intruder without mercy.

The night can conceal many evils, and silence can erase traces. Just as no one could have guessed that the children missing in the infamous "child abduction case" that caused such a stir in Yokohama were actually being held in this abandoned factory.

In places where the moonlight couldn't reach, countless children huddled together. The children who could still sob softly were those who had only recently been captured, still hoping someone would rescue them, while the children with numb faces had been bound for at least a week, and had long since given up hope of regaining their freedom.

After all, tomorrow they will be sent on a ferry to some unknown country, or have their organs removed and die a painful death, or become playthings of the upper class...

In short, with such a hopeless future, what's the point of struggling?

"Mom and Dad...why aren't you here yet?" A child was calling out to the people he relied on most.

Orphans without parents hugged themselves even tighter.

The low sobs gradually spread, and everyone's mood continued to sink. Just then, a rustling sound rang out, and as the sobs subsided, they were finally noticed by more children.

"Ah—uh!" A child sitting in the corner suddenly felt something poke the sole of his foot. He instinctively tried to cry out, but before he could, a pair of soft hands covered his mouth, and he was gently hugged.

"Shh, don't make a sound." The person lowered their voice and patted her head to calm her down.

The person who came was Zhu Yu. After seeing that the child was obedient and did not move, she put the hammer in her hand into her system inventory.

That's right, it's the same hammer that accidentally poked the child's foot just now. It was this hammer that allowed her to dig an escape tunnel effortlessly.

[Andy's hammer: A hammer that can chisel open a bright future. It might take others ten or twenty years to succeed, but in your hands, you only need to dig for ten minutes to ignore obstacles and carve a path to freedom.]

Um, did this game pay for The Shawshank Redemption...?

Although she was complaining in her heart, she also gave a big thumbs up to the "perfect hammer" she had found in the trash can.

She was initially dismissive of it when she first received it, thinking she wouldn't bother digging a tunnel for no reason, but now it's come in handy.

As expected, the game doesn't give players useless items...

It's easy to use, I love using it!

*

The room was cramped, and any slight movement could attract the attention of those nearby.

The sudden intrusion of the stranger immediately caused a small commotion among the children, but they were not stupid and knew to keep quiet after being coughed at.

"I'm here to save you. If you want to escape safely, you have to listen to me, understand?" A soft, weak voice came from the corner. The voice belonged to a young girl, but the calmness and composure in her words made the group of bewildered children want to obey her.

She gave a brief explanation and then began to organize the children to escape.

Meanwhile, as a loud "boom" rang out, the guards left behind in the factory realized that the attackers were hostile and grabbed their weapons to fight them off.

If they were facing ordinary invaders, they could easily overwhelm them in terms of numbers and weaponry. But today, the one who came was a gravity manipulator—Nakahara Chuuya.

The difference in combat power between ordinary people and those with offensive abilities cannot be bridged by mere firearms.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, flames shot out, and smoke filled the entire abandoned factory. The shrill screams gradually subsided. After taking the children to the police station, Zhu Yu hurried back to find her temporary teammates.

As soon as she stepped into the factory, she saw Chuuya Nakahara standing on a guard whose life or death was unknown, while the surrounding area was filled with people lying dead.

Just as the battle ended, the system popped up a notification.

[Teammate Chuuya Nakahara has defeated the enemy. Congratulations on gaining +500 EXP!]

[Teammate Nakahara Chuuya...]

The settlement notification pops up with a "ding-dong" sound, and the feeling of getting free experience is truly irresistible.

The mission was completed long ago when she sent the children away, but she hadn't yet extracted her special ability and planned to come over to support the NPCs in the Central Plains.

Even though he's high-ranking, what if he accidentally falls into a trap?

And... if we hurry over there, we might be able to get some "broth" and gain some experience points (feeling guilty).

"Nakahara-kun, I've already called the police. They'll be here soon. We can go now." Zhu Yu called out to Nakahara Chuuya and walked straight to the group of NPCs who were "lying dead," starting to loot the corpses with an extremely natural expression.

【get......】

【get......】

"Um... are you there?"

Zhu Yu looked up in confusion at Chuuya Nakahara's hesitant voice.

What's wrong? It's normal for players to pick up loot.

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, Zhu Yu cautiously scanned Nakahara Chuuya from head to toe. First, she showed a conflicted and hesitant look, and finally a look of reluctance and heartache, leaving everyone puzzled.

"If you want it, I'll give you half." Zhu Yu had a look on his face as if he were going to his death.

She really likes this NPC who is beautiful, good at fighting, and can team up with her for quests. Since that's the case, the player should pamper him!

Nakahara Chuuya: ......

"Who wants this!" He frowned and deliberately took a few steps to the side to avoid suspicion. But seeing that the girl was still diligently searching the guard's belongings, he hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and silently came over to help search.

What a great NPC!

If Zhu Yu has a goodwill rating, you can now clearly hear the sound effect of her goodwill rating increasing.

The two worked together seamlessly and quickly found all the valuables on their bodies.

However, what puzzled Zhu Yu was that when she saw that the clothes of one of the NPCs had decent attribute values ​​and wanted to take them off and wear them herself, she was stopped fiercely by the NPC from the Central Plains, who told her not to take other people's clothes off casually in the future.

Wow, what an overbearing NPC!

The player sighed.

Before leaving, she made sure to pick up the guns that were scattered on the ground.

This is a very hard-to-get weapon, she has to have it. She really regretted not being able to take the gun from that group of mafia last time.

Right? When I put these things into my backpack, I always felt that the expressions of the NPCs in the Central Plains were a little strange.

......

No sooner had they left than someone else visited the abandoned factory.

"Hmm? Looks like we're late?"

A group of men in black suits, armed with guns, stormed into the factory. Seeing the chaotic scene that clearly showed signs of a battle, a young man in a long black suit slowly walked in, speaking in a soft, intrigued tone.

Moonlight finally managed to squeeze in through the wide-open door, its cold glow illuminating the bandaged half of the boy's face and his deep, dark eyes...

"Take him away for questioning."

"Yes!"

After a long while, the place finally returned to silence...

Chapter 7 Money, Come On! Money, Come On!

Thanks to this mission, Zhu Yu successfully broke through level 20 and became a glorious LV.21.

As dazzling special effects lit up the screen, a store icon appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the "Shop" section! Now, wave your banknotes and shop to your heart's content for your favorite items!]

Oh, there's a shop system too. Players want to see what's in there?

Click to browse quickly, then close quickly.

Ha, the store's currency system seems completely disconnected from the game's daily currency system...

Whose possessions are measured in tens of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions?

Even in Japanese yen, this string of 0000s is just too outrageous!

The player clutched their soon-to-be-shrinking wallet with a heavy heart. The player's total assets are currently [403526 yen]. Don't ask why it's so round; it's the result of countless hours of hard work, rummaging through trash cans and diligently running around the streets!

It's okay, it's okay! You can earn money again if you lose it. It's fake anyway, but the props inside are so real that you wouldn't want to miss it!

Zhu Yu had to admit that she had been thoroughly manipulated.

[Invisibility Spray: Reusable. After application, it can conceal your figure and scent for two hours, allowing you to wander the world as an invisible entity. Surveillance equipment cannot detect you. Of course, please note that this is not physical invisibility, and you cannot pass through walls :).

Price: 100000

Could players buy that to rob a bank? Players are incredibly excited!

[Minor Version of the Aphrodisiac: Effective for 24 hours, a magical potion symbolizing love and seduction. The moment you drink it, you will fall madly in love with the person who gave you the potion, becoming completely obedient to them. Oh, this is manipulation in the name of love!]

Price: 500000

Wow, can we feed it to the richest NPC and have them give the player money? The player is tempted again!

......

Oh, what a tool that makes people want to commit crimes!

The player pointed and gestured (frowning).

Of course, although the player was currently dazzled by these "glamorous worlds," she still resolutely went to the weapons section to take a look.

After all, all fear stems from insufficient firepower. Players struggle even against a group of armed NPCs. When will they be able to realize their dream of dominating Yokohama?

Currently, experience points are gained relatively slowly. To significantly increase combat power, you still need to rely on equipment.
