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

She searched all over Yokohama and found no place to buy weapons. Now that she could finally buy them in a store, she was determined to do it even if it meant selling everything she owned!

Upon opening it, everything went black!

It works very well, but the price is very high.

Ordinary weapons may be cheap, but their attribute bonuses are not as high as the feather duster she picked up from the trash can!

As for those weapons that look like "Golden Legendary" level weapons, well, the zeros at the end of them are longer than her lifespan.

Like [Sword of Victory], [Iron Fang], [Heavenly Fang]...

What's there to buy? Just go back to your hometown and sell sweet potatoes...

With a dark expression, she was about to close the "Shop" interface when she clicked the "X" and the system automatically popped up.

[Are you sure you want to exit?]

No, I'd like to look around some more.

【Yes】

And this "is" is so small that it's tucked away in a corner, and you might easily miss it.

Zhu Yu complained loudly, "It's really ridiculous that poor players can't afford to buy these! Why isn't there a discount for new players?!"

As he spoke, he pressed "Yes".

Who knew that this dog game would have such a strong grip on the player's lifeline? Suddenly, golden light shone from the center of the screen, and a gift box appeared, with colorful ribbons floating around it.

Zhu Yuhu opened the gift box with suspicion.

[Breaking News! Congratulations to the player who has received the new player bonus! You can now purchase the weapon—the Holy Sword of Physics—for 1.5 million!]

What the hell?

Click to view the item description.

[The Holy Sword of Physics: On the path of upholding justice, you will always encounter trials and tribulations. No matter, though your opponents may not understand human language, you possess some martial arts skills. Violence is not the goal, but a tool. You will use physics to persuade your enemies. When using this weapon, you will ignore the enemy's defenses and deal direct physical damage. When equipped, your attack power increases by 999.]

Excellent! With this, players will have no worries about achieving their goals!

Zhu Yu laughed wildly, then realized something was wrong...

The black "1.5 million" was so glaring.

Why did she have to encounter her most beloved weapon when she was at her poorest?! Zhu Yu burst into tears!

[A "Benefit Package" is now available; simply recharge...]

Ha, you dog game, your methods of ripping people off to spend money are truly disheartening.

Zhu Yu sneered and turned off the message she hadn't even finished reading, her face expressionless.

Spending money on in-game purchases? Hmph, I'll never spend money on in-game purchases in my life. Even if I die from scratching myself, die outside, or jump off this building, I'd rather not spend money on in-game purchases!

The moment the conversation ended, a helpful notification popped up.

If your current balance is insufficient, this purchase can be made in advance. Furthermore, the store will not charge any interest until you have repaid your debt, so please feel free to spend! (＾－＾)

That laugh must be sarcastic, right? It must be sarcastic!

For some reason, Zhu Yu had a strange thought: This system is quite flexible, it's terrifying how it can completely understand the players' little thoughts.

She would resolutely refuse if it involved spending real money. But if it offered a pay-later option, she'd be very tempted...

After swaying back and forth, Zhu Yu tried to struggle, but finally gritted her teeth and successfully cleared out all her assets, becoming a millionaire in debt while still employed.

Heartache and joy made her feel conflicted as she faced this "holy sword of physics".

Click on "Equipment," and a simple, unadorned black crowbar appears in the little figure's hand.

Looking at it from the left and right, zooming in and rotating it, it's just an ordinary crowbar.

Game system, you better not mess with me!

Zhu Yu's face contorted for a moment as he manipulated the little man to walk around the staff dormitory, randomly picking a wooden table that looked quite sturdy and was placed in the living room.

I carefully saved the game first, and then—with a single swipe!

--"Snapped!"

The poor, damaged wooden table shattered into pieces. Wow, cool! Zhu Yu exclaimed inwardly, her urge to curse the game vanishing.

Looking at the mess in the room, I need to quickly revert to a previous save!

The room is clean and tidy again, and the successful rollback has saved the player another expense.

Zhu Yu hugged her newly baked "favorite" with delight and happily manipulated the little figure to spin around in the room.

After her initial excitement subsided, she finally opened the panel, intending to begin something that had been delayed for some time.

—Extracting supernatural abilities.

After completing the task of "Finding the Lost Child", the system rewards you with a "random superpower". What superpower you will get in the end depends on luck.

Luck is something you either rely on superstition!

She took a deep breath, quickly got up, washed her hands, went to the balcony, and prayed to all the gods in the sky. Then, she confidently picked up her phone again and saved it as usual.

Either rely on cheats!

Take a deep breath and press "Extract".

Various colors flashed across the screen, and finally a line of text slowly appeared—

Chapter 8 Helping Out-of-School Youth

Congratulations on acquiring the superpower – “Newton’s Apple”

Skill Introduction: Is physics dead? Perhaps not. Within your domain, all objects will obey the laws of Newtonian physics; no surreal events can occur. You are Newton's living disciple, "Marton." Diligently defend the status of Newtonian physics! [Use this skill by shouting: Whose apple fell on my head?!]

Um... in a sense, it's like banning all the superpowered individuals' abilities, so everyone can just fight each other to the death.

Great, but players don't need it for now. What if the game disables players' magical items as well?

Zhu Yu didn't want to draw a superpower that would betray her.

Load the save file and extract again.

Congratulations on acquiring the superpower – "The higher you climb, the lonelier it gets."

Skill Description: This ability encapsulates the resentment of everyone under 1.6 meters tall. Is the air fresh up there? Well, congratulations, you can't smell it anymore! :D. When you use this ability, everyone within a 100-meter radius will automatically become under 1.6 meters tall, and the effect lasts for three hours.

It's quite comical, so, does making enemies shorter actually reduce their attack power? At most, it only causes psychological damage, so it's not as good as the previous one, pass!

Zhu Yu, who only wanted to fight, pointed and whispered at him!

Congratulations on acquiring the superpower – "Piccolo's Nose"

Skill Introduction: Even puppets yearn for the human heart. Lies and consequences, temptations and depravity—those around you will be affected by this power. Lying will cause your nose to grow longer, and when lies are etched into your very bones, you will turn into a puppet. Of course, this also applies to the power's user—you! Please strive to remain honest and sincere, and don't become a speechless puppet again!

You don’t even want to act anymore, right?

The abilities Zhu Yu was drawing were increasingly not meeting the expectations of combat enthusiasts, so she decided that if she drew a combat-related ability next time, she would choose it without hesitation.

To express her determination, she resorted to what she considered a very effective metaphysical method—verbal threats.

But since there was no official website for this unofficial game, she couldn't leave a comment on the official account. So she could only mutter to herself into her phone: "What a terrible drop rate! If they don't give us the items we want soon, I'm quitting! Goodbye!"

After repeating this a few times, she started drawing cards again. Perhaps her threat had an effect, because the prompt on the screen appeared a few seconds later, and then the text prompt slowly appeared.

Congratulations on acquiring the superpower – "The Garden of Lost Souls"!

Skill Introduction: Plants will become half of your body, and all plants will obey your commands without daring to disobey. The entwined roses will weave a large net of fearful illusions. You will think you are touching petals, but you have already lost in the lies brewed by the fragrance of flowers. Bloodthirsty thorns will strangle the weak prey, and the blood will turn into nutrients, making the thorns hum like an organ.

Of course, please also note that the line between them and their manipulators is never clear; if you cannot nourish the plants, they will draw blood from you to grow.

Zhu Yu's reading comprehension skills have always been good. After taking a closer look, he quickly summarized: It can attack and throw debuffs, with high burst damage.

An exceptionally powerful ability with a wide range of applications; many more uses await further development.

She selectively ignored the precautions, thinking, "So what if I lose HP when I don't have enough MP? At worst, I can just use healing items while casting spells and outlast the boss."

Excellent, the player is very satisfied.

Having unlocked her special ability, Zhu Yu was in an exceptionally good mood. She glanced at the time in the game and realized it was almost time for work, so she quickly guided the little character to the dessert shop.

"It's not good to not have a teleportation point," Zhu Yu thought to herself as she rushed to work on time.

Tired of working as a waitress, Zhu Yu tried developing a side business—pastry chef.

Fortunately, the steps for making desserts in the game are much simpler. Every time I make desserts, it feels like playing a cooking game. Just follow the game prompts and tap and swipe on the screen, and a delicious and visually appealing Q-version dessert is ready.

This undoubtedly brought a great sense of accomplishment to Zhu Yu, a "kitchen novice" who could only cook instant noodles and at most add an egg to them.

In the game, the dessert production is very consistent; as long as it's made, the taste will always be "delicious".

In the "Professions" section, the "Waitress" profession has leveled up quickly due to being promoted to store manager and has already reached level seven, while the "Pastry Chef" profession, which started later, is currently at level four.

Upgrading to "Waitress" simply requires maximizing service hours, while upgrading to "Pastry Chef" requires unlocking more dessert varieties and increasing dessert proficiency.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

She went into the kitchen to make today's desserts, took off her apron and put it away, changed into her waitress uniform, and quietly began working.

The afternoon sun is always lazy, and the afterglow of the setting sun turns the white tables and chairs in the dessert shop into a warm orange hue. The shop is sparsely populated and feels empty.

"jingle--"

The wind chimes by the door jingled crisply, and a faint smell of gunpowder was blown in by a gust of wind, mingling with the warm air inside. The person who entered was wearing a black suit, and the rhythm of his light footsteps matched the swaying of the wind chimes perfectly, creating a harmonious melody.

Zhu Yu raised her eyes and was instantly drawn into the depths of those iris-colored eyes.

Wow!

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment. What a handsome NPC! Even the cute and adorable art style couldn't hide his good looks.

Huh? Why is there a bandage wrapped around the right side of his face? Is he injured? Zhu Yu curiously leaned closer to take a look, almost pressing his face against the person's body.

"Miss, although you are quite cute, since this is our first meeting, perhaps we should exchange names and get to know each other first~" The boy smiled very cutely, using one finger to press against Zhu Yu's forehead, pushing her face, which was almost touching his, away a little.

Ah! The player was pushed away by the beautiful NPC with a smile.

Although he felt a little wronged, the player still stood still, staring at him with his dark eyes, without saying a word.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: What are you waiting for? Introduce yourself!

The boy had clearly never encountered such an impolite person before. His smile twitched for a moment, but he quickly raised it again with a bright and cheerful laugh: "My name is Dazai Osamu, and I'm currently working as a handyman for a bald doctor. And you, miss?"

"Meichuan Kuzi." Zhu Yu replied.

After answering, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.

"Is that all, Kuko-chan? I want to know more about you." The boy named Dazai Osamu blinked innocently.

If someone else were to face this scene, they might be immediately captivated and spill everything about themselves.

Unfortunately, those who fall for his charm are mostly clueless gamers...

The player is now deep in thought...

Based on the dialogue just now, players should introduce themselves like this NPC, talk about their profession, and then expand on it by talking about their hobbies.

However, just like asking an air conditioner repairman, "Sir, what do you do?", she assumed that since she was in a dessert shop, wearing a waitress's uniform, her job was obvious.

The NPC's feigned ignorance was quite intriguing.

Considering what he said about currently doing odd jobs for others = dropping out of school = possibly not being very smart.

Oh, so she's just a silly beauty?

Zhu Yu suddenly realized, cast a sympathetic look at her, and patiently replied, "A waitress at a dessert shop."

Dazai Osamu: ...Why is that look so unpleasant!

Zhu Yu pulled Dazai Osamu to sit down and gave him a friendly smile: "What would you like to eat? It's on me."

Caught off guard and dragged away, the person tried to resist but found they couldn't break free at all: ...What kind of gorilla strength is this?

But he quickly composed himself and casually ordered a few desserts from the menu with a smile.

While waiting for the dessert to be ready, he casually struck up a conversation with Zhu Yu, and the two began chatting about all sorts of things.

Of course, from Zhu Yu's perspective, this NPC character just kept talking non-stop. You know, talking to NPCs is a very patient thing, let alone for Zhu Yu, who has been a cyberpunk worker for a long time.
