Of course, Hikigaya Hachiman did not just let them focus on improving their combat power. As for their mentality, he suggested that they watch more real healing movies and TV dramas instead of depressing movies and TV dramas disguised as healing death, so that they can remember the brilliance of human nature. He even suggested that Yukinoshita Haruno refuse to participate in social activities, otherwise he believed that she would go berserk at any minute.

So, the days passed slowly one by one, and what came faster than the real test was the virtual game developed by Zhixiong Science.

"Is this the genius's laboratory?"

After finishing today's sports festival and unknowingly putting an end to the negative rumors about Hikigaya Hachiman, the three girls Yukinoshita Yukino came to St. Cronia Academy under the leadership of Hikigaya Hachiman.

Looking at the sci-fi way of opening the door in front of them, except for Yukinoshita Haruno who had learned to hide her emotions in social situations, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui both showed shocked expressions, just like Hikigaya Hachiman did at the beginning.

"Okay, let's go in."

After following Hikigaya Hachiman in, even Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't keep a poker face this time. She looked around in shock at the items that seemed to exist only in science fiction movies or that looked very high-end.

"Although I've heard of Shixiong-san's reputation as a genius, I never thought that I might have underestimated him."

"That's right, it seems too exaggerated. Did she come up with this all by herself, Xiaoqi?"

“It’s really hard to imagine that so many epoch-making products could be created, and I’ve never heard of them.”

Facing the three girls' admiration, Hikigaya Hachiman did not give an answer, but just nodded. After all, he treated Shikuma Rika as his younger sister and would not ask questions that he did not understand at all. After all, they had gone through the same thing before they met him, and nothing had happened, proving that everything was under control, so he did not ask.

Not to mention that he knew that this was the place where they got the Hunter last time and the related equipment later. Before that, he thought Zhixiong Li Ke was making inventions in other laboratories, so he really didn't understand.

Therefore, he couldn't say anything.

"Ah~ Senior, you're finally here."

Not long after they walked away, when the three girls were still shocked by the sci-fi products around them, a cheerful shout was heard. When they looked in the direction of the sound, a figure had already thrown itself into Hikigaya Hachiman's arms and rubbed his face against him like a kitten. Such an intimate scene made Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui look a little gloomy.

"Okay, show us your results first."

In order not to worry the people around him, Hachiman Hikigaya will use his usual acting skills to turn the "rational monster" into a battle.

So, as usual, he was helpless but doting, and patted Zhixiong Li Ke in his arms with a smile, "Time is very precious."

"I understand, senior."

The girl turned around with a smile, then raised her head provocatively at the two women who were looking at her.

[Humph~ I know how you two feel about your senior, but you two are just trying to steal his skills? You’re overthinking.]

[Eh? That girl? It seems like she hasn’t realized it yet.]

Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to have discovered something interesting and showed her usual devilish smile.

[Is this showing off? Damn it, I won’t admit defeat~ I’m also very capable for my own love, no matter if you are a genius or not, come on! ]

Although Yuigahama Yui received a gentle evaluation from Hikigaya Hachiman and was almost eliminated completely, it was fortunate that this made her understand how to treat others differently.

Therefore, Hikigaya Hachiman's attitude towards her improved afterwards. Otherwise, how could he be qualified to compete with the girl next to him now?

[Shixiong-san's attitude just now, and Hikigaya-kun's way of treating me, why do they seem a little familiar?]

Yukinoshita Yukino, who has good observation skills, found a hint of familiarity in the interaction between the two just now, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

So she calmed down and followed.

Soon, after following Zhixiong Like for a long distance and watching a sci-fi-like door opening, several massage chairs fixed on precision instruments appeared in front of them.

"This is the virtual gaming device that allows the wearer to have the five real senses, as the senior said before. After you input the parameters of your respective abilities, you can experience saving people and defeating enemies in various scenarios in the game."

Zhixiong Li Ke led a few people to one of the massage chairs and took down a headband connected to several data cables from the top.

"All you have to do is put on this headband and press this button to enter the game. Don't worry too much about safety. I have tested it many times to ensure there is no danger, and I have also taken many precautions to ensure your safety."

Accustomed to the simple descriptions with Hikigaya Hachiman, Shikuma Rika did not explain the principles to the three girls who were laymen. She directly told them how to use it and the safety issues of the machine.

"The data is all told to me by my senior. I also took into account the characteristics of your increased strength due to emotional fluctuations and the approximate location of the increased data."

"Although we cannot guarantee that it is 100% true, it is at least 98% true, so you can treat it as a real battle."

"As for the enemies, I have included currently known unconfirmed life forms and angels. For those that are insufficient, I have added characters of my own design to ensure that you will have a fulfilling combat experience."

"If you want to quit the game, just say 'quit' and a window will pop up asking you to confirm whether to quit the game. Just tap it with your finger to confirm."

After Shikuma Riko finished her introduction, she gave Hikigaya Hachiman a look. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was already used to this, reached out and touched her head, saying softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Riko."

"Hehehe~ As long as I can help you, senior."

The girl closed her eyes and enjoyed the pat on the head from her senior.

"Now that everyone understands, let's get started."

After Hikigaya Hachiman finished speaking, the three girls found a place to sit down, put on their headbands and started the game. Their straightforward actions won the favor of the creator.

After they entered the game, the electronic screen above the massage chair also played their respective images. Seeing this, Zhixiong Li Ke walked to the main computer in the room to check whether the data was correct.

"Senior, I hope this machine can help you. If not, I will figure it out by working overtime."

After seeing that the data was normal, Shikuma Rika turned around and looked at the electronic screen where Hikigaya Hachiman was, with a hint of prayer in his eyes.

"In real life, science can't help you restore your five senses, but at least in the game you can have normal five senses like a normal person."

Chapter 172: Consuming the future of Shikuma Rika, and Shinichi Kawada remedying it

"This is……"

Hikigaya Hachiman stared blankly at his palm, a smile rising naturally at the corner of his mouth.

Zhixiong Like, who had been paying attention to the electronic screen outside, naturally noticed the other party's fleeting smile. Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, which turned from hope to joy, and slid down his bright smile and dripped onto the ground, blooming into beautiful tears.

"That's great. My hard work in science has not been in vain."

She reached out her hand to wipe the tears from her face. The delicate makeup on her face was immediately exposed during the repeated rubbing, revealing her sickly pale skin and dark circles under her eyes that were big enough to compete with those of a giant panda.

"Sure enough, as long as we block the senior's ability to capture external information and connect it with the system that captures external information built again in the game, the senior can restore normal vision and hearing in the game."

The girl's eyes sparkled, "Hehe~ As expected, my talent in science can surpass even God!"

[Yes, yes, your talent is indeed beyond that of a god, but if you continue like this, you will become an immortal right away.]

Shinichi Kawada hid in a different space from Shikuma Rika and rubbed his swollen brain.

[Each of you is so troublesome, so you younger generations are really not cute, you don’t care about the elderly at all.]

He gathered rich vitality on his right index finger and tapped it on Zhixiong Li Ke's forehead, offsetting all the damage to her body caused by squeezing out her body functions and working so hard for her.

[I'm busy as hell here, but everyone is still wasting their lives, it's really...]

He scratched the back of his head in distress and smiled amiably like an old grandfather.

[Forget it, as a senior you should act like a senior, and it was originally us who threw the mess to the juniors, so forget about complaining.]

He raised his head and looked deeply at the figure on the electronic screen, [I'm betting everything on you, please don't let me down, juniors!]

[Isn’t this just a reward?]

Kawada Shinichi turned around and faced Touma who also appeared there.

[You gave this girl the power to resist, and now she has exceeded the limit of your gift because of her feelings for that brat. Shouldn't you reward her?]

There was a relieved smile on his face.

[You know, thanks to her consumed vitality, your most beloved child can feel like a normal person again in a certain environment. Isn't this a good thing?]

He pointed his finger at the electronic screen, where Hachiman Hikigaya was fighting against Zi-Chain-Da in his omnipotent form.

[You can see that, right? That brat is enjoying himself now.]

[Besides, as long as I don’t do anything that will make humans evolve or destroy them, isn’t it my right to do whatever I want?]

Douzhen glanced at him indifferently, [I just came to see Hachiman, it's not as much as you think.]

[Yes, yes, yes, if you say yes, then yes.]

Shinichi Kawada glanced at Him with a smile, and then disappeared before His sight.

Touma didn't care too much about his departure. He just shifted his gaze away from Hikigaya Hachiman and watched the battle of everyone on the electronic screen. After checking that there were no errors in the data and that several protection mechanisms were ok, he took out the cosmetics hidden in a secret drawer under the main computer desk and began to put on makeup in front of the mirror.

Although she thought that she couldn't hide it from Hikigaya Hachiman, she could at least use the fact that she didn't want to reveal her inhuman vision to hide within the rules.

"Besides, there are those two girls here. How can I lose to them in looks?"

While putting on makeup, Zhixiong Li Ke suddenly noticed something next to her. She turned around and saw that the hunter had placed a lunch box next to her.

"This was made by Hachiman. He said that you, the creator, would definitely not eat well, so he made it specially."

"...Well, leave it here. Thank you for your hard work, Hunter."

Shikuma Rika reached out and touched the hunter and spoke softly.

"Small things."

Dou Zhen saw the interaction between the man and the machine and he sighed.

[Like Nkulu said, since I am always indecisive and always do things inconsistently, let him do it.]

Then he looked up and stared at the boy on the electronic screen for a moment, "It's almost time, let's start their test tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared and began to think about how to test the three girls Yukinoshita Yukino.

Time passed slowly, and the silence in the laboratory was broken by the sound of a cheerful bell.

"Hmm? Whose phone is ringing?"

Shixiong Riko looked up in the direction of the few people and found that the source of the ringtone was where Hikigaya Hachiman was. He immediately walked over, opened his backpack skillfully, and took out the mobile phone.

"So you want to go home for dinner. It seems that you are afraid that Komachi-chan will worry."

"Although I really want to monopolize Senior for a while, it will be very troublesome for him, so let's do it next time."

The girl turned off the alarm and walked to the main computer, connecting the microphone to the four extensions in the game. "Hello~ It's already half past six. It's time to go home for dinner."

After the voice fell, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but look around the surrounding environment, then shook his head slightly.

[Forget it. I'll be able to see and hear it if I come over tomorrow anyway. It would be a shame if I were to show such nostalgia.]

He turned around and kicked the unknown monster that attacked from behind away, then whispered: "Quit."

After he finished speaking, a window appeared in front of him asking if he confirmed to exit the game. Hikigaya Hachiman decisively pressed the confirmation button. His figure turned into code and disappeared. The monsters behind him also turned into brilliant sparks to greet him as he left.

When Hikigaya Hachiman opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him turned into colorful abstract light waves again, and the sounds captured by his ears also needed to be filtered to a certain extent before he could be aware of them.

[Listening to others is also part of fighting, right? Do you ignore what others say when you fight? How can you fight without collecting intelligence? Do you really think you are invincible?]

[Besides, don’t you know there’s a powerful move called mouth-to-mouth? You don’t even understand the bloodless battle, really…]

Relying on the fact that he had just returned from the game world and had broken away from his own mind that had already approached that of a combat weapon, and instead carried with him the remnants of human thinking, Hikigaya Hachiman took the opportunity to launch an attack on the slowly changing consciousness, hoping to regain some advantage.

It’s just a pity that the rational monster still couldn’t win against the infinitely enhanced combat awareness, and he quickly returned to his previous thinking mode. The only thing to be thankful for was that he could still keep the thinking mode of "hiding the truth for a better battle", otherwise he really didn’t know how to face other people, or he could only choose to "study abroad".

"Li Ke, we will come over later in the evening. I'll trouble you then."

"No problem, senior."

Shikuma Rika patted his chest confidently and glanced proudly at Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui opposite him.

"Has the operating method been delivered to the hunter?"

"OK."

"Then remember to rest early. I will have the hunter keep an eye on you."

"Uh... Senior~"

In response to Shikuma Rika's cuteness, Hikigaya Hachiman simply rolled his eyes.

"Not negotiable."

"ok, I get it."

"Then let's go."

"OK Bye Bye."

After saying goodbye to each other, they got on their motorcycles and headed home.

[It feels like this is happening more and more frequently. It seems like the test from God is coming soon.]

On the way, Yuigahama Yui subconsciously touched her eyes with her right hand, with an indelible sadness on her face, and she even felt the wound on her left hand aching again.

[However, I will never admit defeat this time. Xiaoqi has worked so hard, and if he still fails, it would be a denial of his efforts. I will never allow such a thing to happen.]

The tragic figure still swinging his fist in the snowstorm appeared in my mind, and the girl's eyes were full of determination.

"Hey~ Sister, have you felt anything recently?"
