The word 'ghoul' caught the attention of Kaneki Ken and Hideyoshi Nagachika. They looked at the boy who was talking about ghouls. He was about the same age as them, and he was eating a hamburger and talking about 'ghouls' with great interest.

Kaneki Ken muttered to himself.

“A ghoul…”

"...If the other person is a cute female 'ghoul,' I'd be willing to date her." Hideyoshi Nagachika said to Ken Kaneki in a low voice, looking quite serious. No wonder he's a boy with a love-struck mind, which made Ken Kaneki laugh.

He said this while laughing.

"Ying... are you really that desperate? You're not old enough to give up on yourself yet!"

"But—how long am I going to stay single...? I really want a girlfriend!"

"Ghouls"—neither Kaneki Ken nor Hideyoshi Nagachika had ever seen one in person; they were like urban legends. Everyone fears these terrifying creatures, but few people truly grasp their reality. After all, fewer people die from ghouls than from car accidents every day, so they haven't caused much panic in society—perhaps it's just a lack of realism.

A virtual secondary screen appeared before Lin Yan, displaying a line of text explaining ghouls. It wasn't particularly relevant to Lin Yan, as he already had some understanding of ghouls.

Ghouls are anthropomorphic species that survive by eating human flesh. Normal human food tastes disgusting to them, and forcing them to eat it would be harmful to their bodies. Some describe them as "monsters disguised as humans" because they usually show no abnormalities. They possess "kagune," and each individual's kagune is different, resulting in variations in their predatory and offensive abilities. However, the better the food they eat, the more powerful the energy they gain, leading to the existence of more powerful cannibalistic species.

Normally, they appear no different from ordinary people. To disguise themselves as ordinary people, ghouls will deliberately eat human food, but they must induce vomiting in time to expel the food, otherwise it will cause poisoning and endanger their lives. When fighting or eating, their eyes turn into red pupils, forming ghoul eyes with black and white.

Ghouls can distinguish their own kind from humans through their sense of smell.

Their physical strength is much greater than that of humans, their skin has the hardness of steel, ordinary weapons cannot harm them, and they possess a predatory organ called a kagune. Each ghoul's kagune is different and has different power.

Under normal circumstances, ghouls reproduce with each other to produce ghoul offspring. Ghouls and humans can also mate, but the chance of successful fertilization is extremely small. Even if fertilization is successful and a child is conceived, the child is unlikely to be born safely and generally will not come into this world smoothly.

If a male ghoul and a female human successfully conceive, the fetus will die from malnutrition. If a male human and a female ghoul successfully conceive, the mother will consume the fetus as food.

"Kaneki, don't you think it's awesome to have your girlfriend personally feed you a bite of spaghetti bolognese?"

"That's nice, I really want to try it out." Kaneki Ken replied somewhat absentmindedly, still thinking about ghouls in his mind.

Reports about 'ghouls' have never stopped, and they've been everywhere. There are quite a few people who discuss 'ghouls' like that boy just now.

Recently, a major incident occurred: two investigators from the 20th Ward, where Kaneki Ken resides, were murdered.

The Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau (CCG) is an organization that investigates ghoul-related incidents worldwide and also takes in orphans whose parents were killed by ghouls.

The Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau is a national agency established in accordance with the Ghoul Countermeasures Law, with its predecessor being the "Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau" founded in 1890 by Washu Daikichi, the head of the Washu family. The headquarters of the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau is located in Ward 1, with branches in the other wards of Tokyo.

After the defense battle, the CCG was reorganized into the TSC, with half of its personnel being former CCG employees.

Ghoul investigators are called "White Doves" because they wear badges that look like doves.

They are also known as "box carriers" because they carry boxes containing quinques.

There are six ranks of Ghoul Investigators.

The ranks were: Special Investigator, Associate Special Investigator, Senior Investigator, First-Class Investigator, Second-Class Investigator, and Third-Class Investigator. From top to bottom, the first three were "High-Ranking Investigators," and the latter three were "Lower-Rank Investigators." After the reorganization, the investigators were renamed Security Officers.

There was also information about the investigators, including detailed information about Kyoto Sōta and others, but Lin Yan did not intend to read all the information at this moment.

"Was one of the people killed this time even an elite?" Lin Yan suddenly laughed. They were really too weak.

At that moment, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding, host, what character's identity do you wish to possess? This system recommends the protagonist, Kaneki Ken.]

"A ghoul? I don't want to become a monster who likes to eat people and can't enjoy food, even though I'm not a glutton."

[Ding, does the host choose CCG?]

"I took a look, and the endings are all tragic. They either resign, die in the line of duty, or are just little kids... It's not fun..."

[Ding, please customize. You can choose any one... or the system recommends...]

Lin Yan glanced at the recommendations.

The first is the superpower called "Stand" from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," which is a power controlled by willpower. Throughout the series, Jotaro Kujo's "Star Platinum" is known for its speed exceeding the speed of light, and is therefore widely recognized as the strongest Stand.

In "A Certain Magical Index", Touma Kamijou's "Imagine Breaker" is arguably the strongest passive ability. Any magic or superpower will be completely eliminated if touched directly by his right hand. Because it is a passive ability, it cannot be controlled by willpower, so it will eliminate magic regardless of whether it is good or evil.

In "Hamatora," Nice's ability, "the fastest step among primates," is also quite overpowered. Within a 5-meter range, he can move at supersonic speeds. Because of his increased speed, everything around him seems to slow down exponentially.

……

The system's recommendations are still ongoing.

Episode 0183 One-Punch Man: Saitama [Please Subscribe]

"stop!"

At this moment, two things flashed through Lin Yan's mind: Saitama's ability from One-Punch Man and Meliodas's Total Counterattack. Oh right, he also remembered another one: Ainz Ooal Gown's "Absolute Power".

"Only children make choices. I want both!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained Saitama's physical abilities from One-Punch Man, Meliodas's Total Counterattack, and Ainz Ooal Gown's "Absolute Power".]

However, Lin Yan also noticed a line of small print: the three types of benefits cannot coexist, meaning they cannot be used simultaneously.

This is quite reasonable.

Lin Yan accepted.

This is already an incredibly powerful ability.

He was interested in all three abilities.

The physical abilities I am most familiar with are those of Saitama from One-Punch Man.

The first thing you see on the screen is One-Punch Man's abilities.

Normal Punch: Saitama's signature move, which he usually doesn't announce by name. It's essentially just a simple punch, but its power is beyond imagination. During his sparring match with Genos, he used a slightly serious Normal Punch to smash through a mountain and disperse the clouds. Almost no monster can survive a Normal Punch; even the Dragon-level monster king Orochi was defeated by a single Normal Punch, leaving only his heart.

Super Speed ​​Movement: Walks very fast (rarely runs), and when running (non-serious mode), can make at least two round trips in a single 1500-meter run and take first place (in Hero Test).

Continuous Normal Punches: This is essentially a series of extremely rapid normal punches, but due to Saitama's immense strength, this move possesses destructive power exceeding that of a normal punch. It once shattered Boros, a monster of Dragon rank or higher. He also powerfully suppressed Garou, a monster using the Monster God-Slaying Fist, with a series of continuous normal punches from both hands.

……

Each ability is described.

Another one is Meliodas's All-Out Counterattack.

FullCounter

Note: Total Counterattack is a skill Meliodas learned from his master.

Magic effect: Reflects all offensive magic directed at oneself with several times the force.

In fact, Lin Yan did not want to get involved in the conflict between the CCG and the ghouls. If he could just sit back and watch the fight, that would be fine too. He could return to the world of 'Relife' without doing anything and enjoy the peace of this world. He would only have to worry about his studies and love... and his life would not be in danger.

“Smells so good.”

Lin Yan suddenly smelled a rich, fragrant aroma. The scent seemed familiar, yet he couldn't quite place it. It was the smell of coffee. Lin Yan was used to drinking coffee in his original world, but he had almost forgotten the taste. Light appeared before his eyes, and as his eyes adjusted, he saw a coffee shop covered in vines.

"Anting District?"

There's also a menu.

Lin Yan pushed open the door, and the aroma of coffee wafted out.

Behind him, he saw Hideyoshi Nagachika, whom he had seen in the 'Transitional World', and the one who greeted Hideyoshi Nagachika was Ken Kaneki.

"Britain!"

"How are things going? Have you been working hard?"

"Why did you suddenly come here..."

"I'm here for coffee. By the way, where's Touka-chan?"

"Now that you ask that question, I'm completely confused about your purpose."

"...Ying, you'd better not come here all the time."

"Ah? Why?"

"Uh...ah! Think about it, the coffee here is different from canned coffee; it's very expensive. Your wallet is probably going to suffer, right?"

0184 Master, please give your orders. [Please subscribe]

"That's true, but as a staff member, you shouldn't be chasing customers away! Anyway, give me a cappuccino!"

"By the way, it seems like the professor who teaches British history has started getting hair transplants lately."

"Hey... stop messing around, my hands are shaking."

"Touka-chan!" Hideyoshi Nagachika shouted loudly, and Lin Yan also saw a girl with a forced smile, which should be Touka Kirishima.

She is a second-year student in the general studies department at Kiyomi High School. She also works part-time at a café called "Antique." She becomes very shy around strangers but is very outspoken with those she knows well. Her favorite animal is a rabbit, and she cherishes her school life. Her true identity is one of the ghouls of the 20th ward, and her kagune is a fuku. She usually covers her right eye with her bangs, but it will be revealed during certain battles or in special scenes.

His mother, Kou Kirishima, and father, Arata Kirishima, were expelled by ghoul investigators when he was young. He has a younger brother, Ayato, but they later parted ways due to disagreements about their views on humanity.

She outwardly disdains Kaneki, but still comes to his rescue on several occasions.

As Touka spends time with Kaneki Ken, she often teases him, but her opinion of him gradually changes.

She only realized her feelings for Kaneki after he turned white and left, but she was powerless to do anything about it and could only silently protect him from behind the scenes.

However, in the end, Touka and Kaneki still got together and had two children.

"Touka-chan!" Hideyoshi Nagachika spotted Touka and greeted her enthusiastically, looking every bit like a devoted fanboy. "What? If I'd known Touka-chan was in the shop, I would have asked her to make me some coffee."

"Hide, what kind of attitude is that towards this freshly brewed cappuccino?" Kaneki Ken joked, then his expression changed, and he said to Hideyoshi Nagachika seriously, "...Hide, you might be better off not coming here for the time being."

"Don't come here?"

“Our store manager said that there seem to be suspicious people loitering around this area recently.”

"What happened?"

"Although not yet, but..."

"Then there's no problem, right?"

Lin Yan overheard their conversation, but for now, he hasn't figured out how to arrange things in this world.

At this time, there are no tasks in the system.

"Your coffee." Dong Xiang brought Lin Yan coffee. Lin Yan knew from the aroma that it must be Blue Mountain coffee beans.

Blue Mountain coffee is produced in the Blue Mountains west of Jalimay, hence its name.

The Blue Mountains are a mountain range with an elevation of 2256 meters. Coffee trees are planted on steep slopes at an altitude of about 1000 meters.

The annual production of Blue Mountain coffee is only around 700 tons. Blue Mountain coffee beans are plump and slightly larger than regular beans.

It has a well-balanced and strong acidity, aroma, body, and sweetness, with a slight bitterness, a harmonious taste, and an excellent flavor, making it suitable for single-origin coffee. Due to its limited production, most of the coffee sold on the market is "Special Blue Mountain Blend," which is a blend of Blue Mountain beans and other coffee beans.

As Lin Yan leisurely sipped his coffee, he thought about where he would stay next. Perhaps staying near this coffee shop would be a good choice.

[Ding! A villa has been prepared for you, please proceed.]

A virtual map appeared before Lin Yan's eyes, with a small marker on it and markings on the ground. He should be able to find his way by following the directions.

Villa 0185 [Please Subscribe]

Lin Yan only glanced at the map, but he had already memorized it clearly.

There was no need for any ground signs to guide us to the villa.

The villa is a top-tier villa, with stone-carved streetlights in the courtyard, red maple leaves in full bloom, and many plants and trees embellishing the space, creating a poetic atmosphere throughout the villa.

The surrounding environment is lush and green, and you can overlook the verdant mountains and forests from the courtyard. The design, rooted in Japanese garden culture, makes the whole space feel exceptionally pleasant.

A scene of lush grass and warbling birds, with koi carp frolicking by the pond – this is indeed the dream of many.

The living and dining areas feature an open layout, complemented by a minimalist ceiling with embedded LED light strips. The warm yellow lighting and the wooden elements on the walls create a perfect harmony.

Sitting in the living room, you can see everything in the courtyard outside the window; sitting in the dining room, you can also see the majestic pine trees outside the window.

The living room features a set of simple white sofas paired with a traditional Chinese ink painting-style rug, creating a particularly comfortable home atmosphere. To complement the Japanese style, the TV wall incorporates several Japanese elements, such as lattice windows.

The elements may seem simple, but they are the result of careful thought. The simpler the design, the more attention it requires. If you like this style of decoration, you can choose Quanbaoyuan Home Decoration, a one-stop decoration service that can handle any style.

The open-plan design of the living and dining areas makes the whole home feel spacious and airy.
