The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Nishimiya Shoko: "No..."

Eriri: "Let's go together, it'll be a good opportunity to test our courage."

"Oh......"

Nishimiya Shoko reluctantly agreed, showing absolutely no ability to refuse others.

Seino Makoto sends a message:

"The restriction that the heart rate cannot exceed 100 minutes throughout the entire process seems a bit difficult to implement... What are your thoughts?"

Eriri: "If it were Kato, I feel like he could easily complete the challenge... By the way, Kato, have you ever been to a haunted house at an amusement park? The staff there probably wouldn't even notice you, right?"

Kato Megumi: "Eh...when I went to the haunted house before, I definitely came out safely and wasn't scared by the staff."

Eriri: "As expected, it's an easy game to beat."

Megumi Kato: "I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary girl... Even if I'm not frightened by the staff, I'm easily frightened by the environment."

Eriri: "...So many staff members couldn't even spot you, how could you be ordinary!"

Rio Futaba sent a message:

"I just checked the Paradise Shop, and there's an item called 'Soul-Soothing Incense.' Once lit, it can keep all units within range in a calm and peaceful state. It costs 500 points and lasts for half an hour, which is enough to complete the sealing challenge."

Kato Megumi: "Um...it feels a bit expensive."

She only had two thousand points in total, so she was naturally reluctant to spend a quarter of them on consumable items.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I have an idea... The reason we're scared in haunted houses is because of the visual and auditory stimulation, so if we shut out our sight and hearing, there won't be any problems."

Eriri: "What? This is a completely unworkable suggestion. If you shut off your sight and hearing, you won't even be able to walk!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "After entering the haunted house, I'll have my junior carry Kato on his back, then have Kato close his eyes and put on headphones to listen to music... Will this work, you useless rich girl?"

Yinglili: "......"

hateful!

This is infuriating!

"That's a good suggestion."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly; brainstorming was indeed very beneficial.

"Kato, what's your choice?"

Futaba's suggestion is calm and rational, and can solve the problem at its root. The senior's suggestion may not be the most reliable, but it also has the possibility of success.

Kato Megumi: "Um... I want to try this first, and if it doesn't work, I'll try Kasumigaoka-senpai's method."

Makoto Kiyono: "It's decided then. We'll meet at Shinjuku Station at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow and go to Fuji-Q Highland together."

"..."

Nothing more was said that night.

the next day.

When Kiyono Makoto opened his eyes in the morning, he found that the information for the day had been updated.

[Today's News Info 1: Nishimiya Shoko Can't Swim]

[Today's Information 2: At 6 PM, go to the third lottery shop at the intersection of Nakasei Shopping Street and buy a set of scratch-off lottery tickets number 3. You can win one million yen.]

"One million yen?"

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up instantly.

While players can buy gold from the amusement park's store and resell it, there are too many uncertain risks involved, and they could easily be targeted by malicious individuals. Buying scratch-off tickets, on the other hand, is completely safe, as the source is legal and will not arouse any suspicion.

"I'm definitely buying the scratch-off lottery ticket at 6 o'clock!"

Kiyono Makoto memorized the second piece of information, then looked at the first piece.

"Hmm...Shoko can't swim?"

Hijima started teaching swimming lessons from a young age, so there are actually very few people who can't swim. But Shoko is a special girl, and she has a very timid and introverted personality, so it's understandable that she can't swim.

"We might encounter dungeons related to the sea in the future. For example, some players on the forum have entered dungeons based on 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' We need to teach Shoko to swim, just in case..."

Seiji Kiyono gathered his thoughts, grabbed his schoolbag, and headed out.

They remained silent the entire way.

When he arrived at the classroom, apart from two familiar boys who greeted him briefly, no one else asked him why he hadn't come to class yesterday.

Just as Kiyono Makoto sat down, he saw Kato Megumi quietly walk in. The bob-haired girl had a barely noticeable presence, and no one greeted her.

A little while later, Eriri, with her golden twin tails, walked into the classroom surrounded by the girls.

"Eri-chan, why didn't you come to class yesterday?"

Are you feeling unwell?

"Worrying..."

"Don't worry, everyone."

Eriri smiled politely, her little fangs barely visible at the corners of her mouth, clearly wearing the mask of a pampered young lady. "My stomach was a little upset yesterday, but I'm fine now."

"Eri-chan, do you want to go shopping together after school?"

"it is good......"

Kiyono Makoto saw this and gently shook his head.

Pretending to be a successful, outgoing girl all day must be exhausting.

"stare--"

Eriri seemed to sense something and quickly turned her head to look over.

Their eyes met.

Zhai Li subtly revealed her little tiger teeth, glared at him shyly, and then quickly looked away.

A day passed quickly.

Before you knew it, it was time to get out of school.

The moment the phone rang, a message popped up on Kiyono Makoto's phone.

Rio Futaba: "Seino-kun, if you have some free time now, please come to the Science Club..."

Chapter 73 Futaba: I'm sorry, I never want to experience water magic again.

"I'm free after school, I'll be right there."

After replying to the message, Kiyono Makoto got up and headed to the main building.

Futaba isn't a clingy girl; if she's invited to the science club, it's definitely because she has something serious to discuss.

Ten minutes later.

Outside the Science Society.

Kiyono Makoto raised his right hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A girl's calm and pleasant voice echoed from the activity room.

Kiyono Makoto opened the door and stepped inside.

The activity room wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy, with fresh air and no unpleasant odors. However, the blackboard was covered with dense formulas and symbols, and there were many strange utensils on the table, which inexplicably reminded one of those mad scientists.

Rio Futaba was facing away from him, slightly bent over, intently stirring a glass of black, unidentified liquid, from which bubbling bubbles rose... The image of a mad scientist was even stronger.

"Good afternoon, Kiyono-kun."

Rio Futaba turned around and looked at him. The bespectacled boy in the dungeon had a ponytail, but now his hair was loose and flowing down his shoulders. He was wearing a white lab coat over his school uniform, which made him look even more petite and cute.

"I called Kiyono-kun over because there's something I want to tell you..."

Rio Futaba put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, tilted her head back, and calmly dropped her bombshell:

"I can forge park-certified equipment."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Without any probing or even a hint, she directly revealed such an important secret. Futaba Rio truly lives up to her title of the Science Witch; she's completely different from ordinary girls.

"When I cleared the first official dungeon, I was lucky enough to obtain a rare item: the Great Inventor's Wrench."

"Using a wrench, you can quickly forge weapon prototypes from the shop into items."

"The water gun that Kiyono-kun bought was something I forged."

"Unfortunately, the probability of forging a purple item is very low; the vast majority are white items, which are neither useful nor worth discarding."

Rio Futaba paused slightly, lowering her voice:

"...Kiyono-kun has the ability to make weapons even more powerful, right?"

Kiyono Makoto frankly admitted it:

"That's right."

Since Futaba has already told him everything, he can't keep anything from her.

More importantly, it simply cannot be hidden.

The water gun was originally a piece of equipment forged by Futaba, so she was naturally very clear about its initial attributes. Apart from its high quality, its attributes were actually terrible. The fact that it could break someone's artery with one shot was obviously inseparable from Kiyono Makoto.

Makoto Kiyono decides to tell the truth:

"Did you tell Futaba that I'm a psychic during the dungeon?"

"Understood."

Rio Futaba nodded slightly, her intelligence shining through. "...Kiyono-kun possesses the superpower to make equipment stronger?"

"You could say that."

Kiyono Makoto nodded. "Everything has entries; I can extract the entries from objects and then add them to other items."

"I see."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, her eyes brightening. "I considered several possibilities, but I didn't expect this answer... Does Kiyono-kun have any limitations on the use of her abilities?"

"First, physical contact must be maintained; stripping an entry takes time."

Kiyono Makoto held up two fingers. "Also, once an entry is removed, the original object will be damaged."

Rio Futaba looked over expectantly:

"Can the quality of an item be upgraded by adding enough entries?"

"I don't know."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head. "I only recently gained this ability, so I haven't tested it yet."

"Let's verify it now."

Rio Futaba's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but take a half-step forward, tilting her small face up:

"What do you think we lack most right now, Kiyono-kun?"

"Most in need of points."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kiyono Makoto gave a decisive answer.

In this paradise, points represent everything.

"Correct answer."

Rio Futaba crossed her arms and spoke faster, "Points represent everything, but there are very few ways to obtain them, besides dungeons, it's just the forum trading area."

"The dungeon is too dangerous; the risks are completely uncontrollable."

"But forum trading is different. As long as it's good equipment, there will definitely be players willing to pay for it, and the higher the quality of the equipment, the higher the price."

Rio Futaba reveals her plans:

"I can forge equipment, and Kiyono-kun can add attributes to it. If the attributes improve the equipment's quality, we can sell it safely and effortlessly to earn points... Kiyono-kun, would you like to cooperate?"
