What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Author: Yan Bie Gu

Summary:

Mai Sakurajima: "Haruta Masaki is the actor I hate the most, bar none."

Yamada Fairy: "Damn Natsume Makura, I must defeat you!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "I have underestimated the bottom line of human beings, but it is still hard to imagine that there are scumbags like Qiu Ling Fumpei in this world."

Eriri: "You old thief Fuyuo Kishi! I will never forgive you!"

Our protagonist glanced at the tenants who were enthusiastically discussing the people they hated, and spoke calmly.

"They hate Haruta Masaki/Natsume Makuryu/Akirahiko Fubuki/Fuyuo Kishi. What does that have to do with me, Washimiya Shiki?"

Volume One

Chapter 1 I'm not targeting anyone

"I'm not targeting anyone. I'm saying that all the light novels nowadays are full of erotic content. Especially the one that can't even make sense, "The Exploding Dark Fairy." The fact that it's on the bestseller list proves that!"

Generally speaking, no matter who says this, they will be hated by the whole world and all the young people who love light novels. In the end, they will either have a rotten reputation and live on black traffic, or be stuck in endless lawsuits and run around for their lives.

Inside the studio, the program's chief director looked at the young man on the stage with fiery red hair and a defiant face, and could only sigh in his heart: Only this guy, even if he talks so much, few people dare to refute him.

His name is Natsume Makuryu, and he is a literary star who has suddenly emerged in the past two years.

It was originally a light novel, but that light novel whose sales swept across Asia can even be regarded as a black history in his career.

This was followed by a few rare science fiction novels that were both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. From there, this gentleman began his journey to becoming a god, winning numerous awards.

Next came the fantasy novels that the other party casually wrote with a hint of fairy tale flavor. This series of books directly swept the sales charts around the world, and more than 3 billion copies were sold worldwide in just over a year. The agent publisher had the confidence to make a bold statement that one-third of the world's population are fans of Natsume Murakura's books, and within three years, this series of novels will become a legend in history with the second highest sales volume after the Bible.

Finally, there is serious literature. Even if some people don’t like some of the works in it, they cannot deny its depth and influence on the literary world. Because of this, Natsume Makuryu won the Pulitzer Prize that he missed two years ago, thus achieving a grand slam of world literary awards.

This made the Japanese literature award, which did not award him a prize based on seniority, a bit of a bummer. His reputation was ruined by the intentional or unintentional sarcasm from the other side. Later, even when a special award was issued, this gentleman was too lazy to even accept it...

As for the scripts he wrote, although the movie scripts are all art films, his fame alone can attract audiences, and so far no movie has disappointed the audience. It is a rare art script that can guarantee a break-even and make a small profit. The TV drama scripts are even more heavyweight. So far, each of the three TV dramas has criticized current social ills and pointed out social problems incisively, triggering widespread public discussion. Every once in a while, the elected "Red Bean Paste Simi Marseille" will be given a chance to speak.

Even so, because of the Japanese nature of admiring the strong, the cabinet at that time not only did not hate him, but often praised Natsume Makuru as a "national teacher", which was a direct endorsement of his achievements.

At this point, as long as he doesn't go crazy and kill people or burn things, it won't matter how he jumps.

And all this was achieved in just two years, which is quite incredible and magical. It is said that some people even wanted to make his story into a movie, but they were all rejected by the other party - what kind of rubbish are you, how dare you write a script for me?

Not to mention that this gentleman just said that subculture products such as light novels are rubbish. Even if he pointed at the Prime Minister's nose and scolded him, the other party would only accept it humbly on the surface. Of course, whether to change it or not is another matter.

The recording of the program was quickly completed, and the director immediately went up to ask about his well-being: the other party did not like to show up in public, and it was already quite an honor for him to be invited to participate in the recording of the program this time, so he had to make him feel at home and lay a good foundation for the next cooperation.

Although Natsume Makuru is a straightforward and unruly person, it is precisely this hot temper that makes his speeches on the show so explosive and has a great effect, making him a favorite guest on many talk shows.

"I wonder if Mr. Natsume has any new works recently. Everyone is looking forward to it..."

The slightly plump director was rubbing his hands, and with the small tuft of beard under his nose, he looked like a fat translator in an anti-Japanese war drama.

Natsume Makuryu glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "I plan to take a year off to look for inspiration for a breakthrough."

The director was immediately in awe when he heard this. He was indeed a national treasure in the literary world. He was still thinking about breaking through even at this point. He really didn't leave any chance for others to survive. Writers of the same era as this gentleman were too miserable...

Declining the director's offer to send him home, 'Natsume Pillow Ryu' avoided everyone's gaze and went into a toilet cubicle.

After a moment, the door of the compartment opened again, but the person who walked out was not the literary star with fiery red hair who attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, but an ordinary boy with a weak sense of presence, wearing a slightly old black uniform suit, with short black hair neatly tied on his head and a pair of thick-rimmed round glasses on his nose.

In fact, if you ignore the glasses, you will find that the boy's face is exactly the same as Natsume Natsume's, but for some reason, once he puts on the glasses, his temperament changes drastically, making it impossible to connect them together.

The boy walked out of the bathroom, glanced at the surveillance camera at the end of the corridor, and walked past it without caring.

[Prevented a candid photo shoot, consuming 1 influence factor]

The subtle sound disappeared in the spring breeze along with the fragrance of cherry blossoms outside the window.

The young boy is a time traveler. His name before traveling through time is gone, and now he is called Washimiya Shiki, and he is an orphan.

He came to this parallel world similar to Earth two years ago.

The good news is that as a time traveler, Washimiya Shiki has a system, a panacea.

The system consists of two parts. One is the ability to gain currency called influence factor by attracting public attention to his vest (actually just showing off). The influence factor can be used to purchase various skills and props on the "vest page" in the mall that is refreshed daily by the system.

The other is the 'Landlord Page' where he runs a dormitory as a landlord and needs to recruit tenants who meet the requirements.

The bad news is that this system is rented and you have to repay the debt every month, which means spending 1000 impact factors to maintain the system, otherwise the system will be automatically uninstalled.

Although there will not be a hard punishment such as annihilation, Washimiya Shiki cannot be sure whether some of the abilities he obtained from the system will disappear if the system leaves.

Over the past two years, Washimiya Shiki worked so hard that he finally upgraded the skills of his two avatars to the maximum level and achieved financial freedom, but he himself was already exhausted physically and mentally.

"I got 120 influence factors this time. You're only getting this much after all the talk... Tsk, so stingy. But if you don't count the odds and ends, I've almost accumulated 15000 influence factors. It doesn't matter if I take a year off. I can still buy good stuff from the mall. Wow, I've worked so hard for two years, can't I enjoy myself?"

So our protagonist decided to start playing badly in the first chapter.

Chapter 2 I want a rosy youth

Maybe it was because he had not saved enough money to buy a house in his previous life until he traveled through time, so in this life, not long after Washimiya Shiki became financially independent, he purchased some properties all over Japan. However, almost all of those properties were purchased in the name of his alias.

When he did not use a pseudonym, he always lived in the apartment that the system gave him as a guest.

The apartment originally had no name, but after Washimiya Shiki moved in, his last name was added to the nameplate at the door, so recently the neighbors seem to call this place Washimiya Ryo.

Washimiya-ryo is located on the northern edge of Tokyo, close to Saitama Prefecture. There is a tram station not far away, so transportation is quite convenient.

From the outside, it looks like a rather old-fashioned two-story apartment. The wall at the back looks a bit mottled, and the walls are covered with ivy, giving it a beauty that seems like it could be demolished at any time.

Each of the two floors of the apartment is divided into three rooms. The interior of the house is a typical 1LDK structure, which is called one bedroom, one living room and a separate kitchen in domestic terms. Although it cannot be seen from the outside, the interior is actually quite spacious, and even a family of three will not feel particularly crowded.

In fact, this apartment itself is like a spring to Washimiya Shiki in the system. As long as he sleeps in it for one night, he can recover from the fatigue of staying up late for several days to the brink of sudden death, or the exhaustion of overdrawing his body as if it were hollowed out, so that he can start a new day refreshed and full of energy.

So even if there are more luxurious residences elsewhere, Washimiya Shiki will still come back here to rest.

It is worth mentioning that the landlord page of the system says that there will be rewards if a tenant moves into the apartment, so after initially traveling to this world, Washimiya Shiki once thought that the correct way to open the system was to ignore the vest page that looked more difficult and just be a landlord and make money.

Then he wasted a whole half month and failed to find someone who met the system's criteria for a tenant. Finally, he had no choice but to pick up a vest and try to earn the system's rent at the last minute, and by the way, get some money to settle down in this world. The result was out of control. The feeling of being rewarded as long as you work hard was so good that Washimiya Shiki became addicted to it and threw aside his original ambition to be a landlord.

On the contrary, in the apartment, because of its excellent layout and convenient transportation, people contact him through agents from time to time to rent the apartment, but none of those applicants meet the system's judgment, which wastes his time in vain.

It just so happened that that period was still the start-up phase of the Washimiya Shiki alias, and he was so busy every day that he didn't want to waste so much time on such boring things, so in the end he simply raised the rent he had with the agency to the highest level allowed by the system, in disguise driving away future tenants.

After all, with that money, you can rent a high-end apartment next door, so why rent this old-fashioned apartment that looks shabby?

By the way, the tenants themselves cannot enjoy the spring water effect of Washimiya Ryo. This effect will only take effect on other tenants when Washimiya Shiki is also in the apartment.

"But I never expected that I would get to this point in this world..." Washimiya Shiki lay on the tatami, squinting his eyes and looking at the beautiful spring scenery outside the window.

When he first traveled to this world two years ago, he was also in this place in the apartment, worrying about next month's living expenses.

"I have achieved such a great success entirely because of my own hard work. I am worthy of myself!" The soft spring sunshine fell on him, and the boy hummed happily after being freed from his heavy work: "System, start! Let me see what's new today!"

[Combat Power Detector (With it, you can also say something like 'Hmph, this is a piece of rubbish with a combat power of only 5'. Can be mounted on a flat mirror), 50 points]

[Level 1 Kendo (the most basic of the basics, at least it can make your Su Zhen look good), 100 points]

[Level 7 Cooking Skills (You have surpassed most people in the industry and have become a respected boss. Now use your dishes to impress others!), 5000 points]

"Level 7 cooking skills actually require 5000 influence factors? Level 6 is only 3000 points..."

Washimiya Shiki couldn't help but smack his lips.

The next level of skills in the system mall will only appear after you have learned the previous level. For example, cooking skills will only appear at level 1 after you have purchased level 2 cooking skills. Even if Washimiya Shiki knows how to make tomato and egg and omelette rice from the beginning, it will be useless.

In order to make his life better, at least not to mistreat himself with food, Si Ji has purchased cooking skills one after another, and now it has reached level 6. The comment is 'the backbone of the industry, you can already be the head chef of a one-star tire restaurant.'

Although the level 7 cooking skill is very tempting, the huge sum of 5000 points will affect his plan of lying low. Washimiya Shiki hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind to buy it.

On the other hand, as the basic level 1 kendo, and although I don't know what it is used for, I would definitely not buy it under normal circumstances, but today because it appeared next to the extremely expensive items, the combat power detector was so cheap that people felt they would be losing out if they didn't buy it, so Si Ji decisively bought it.

He turned on the TV lazily. Most TV stations were broadcasting the news during this time period. His remarks yesterday were naturally one of the rare hot news in this peaceful daily life. Si Ji looked at his own flamboyant expression on TV and couldn't help but push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose - thanks to the same pair of glasses as Superman in the system mall, as long as he puts them on, no one can recognize him, and they also come with glasses that reduce his presence. He hasn't taken off the vest that he used to disguise himself.

After basking in the sun for a while, Si Ji felt that he couldn't continue to be so decadent.

Glancing at the cherry tree outside the window, which was of an unknown species but looked like it would shed its hair very easily, as well as the messy cherry petals on the ground in the courtyard, he felt that he should do something befitting of a landlord, like going out to sweep the floor or something.

"Speaking of which, spring break is almost over. I think I'll have to repeat a grade because of my poor attendance last year..." Si Ji thought to himself as he swept the floor.

I finally traveled through time and space and became a Japanese high school student. How could I not go to school and experience my rosy youth?

The year before last, I was struggling to survive in a parallel world, then I was laying the foundation, and last year I was working so hard to reach the top that I simply didn’t have the time or conditions. But it seems like I can give it a try this year?

Just as Si Ji was still thinking about it, a pleasant shout suddenly came from the gate of the wall.

"Hey... Is the landlord here?"

Si Ji turned his head and was dazzled by a brilliant golden light.

Chapter 3 Yamada Fairy

Standing outside the yard was a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although she only wore makeup that was close to her natural look, it did not affect her appearance.

It would be better to say that her fair skin and her long golden hair, which is quite natural and not artificially dyed, are more suitable for this kind of makeup that is as beautiful as a lotus blooming in clear water. She is a real beauty.

However, Washimiya Shiki has become quite knowledgeable in the past two years and will not be shaken by a mere beautiful JK girl.

It would be better to say that if his vest revealed even a little bit of this meaning, there would be countless female fans and gold diggers who would want to climb into his bed.

What also made him feel a little strange was that, although there was no comic convention nearby, the other party was wearing a high-quality Lolita-style long skirt and looked like a cosplayer.

This is too two-dimensional.

"That's me, what can I do for you?"

As he spoke, Si Ji pushed up his glasses and loaded the combat power detector he had just bought onto his own Superman-style glasses.

When he looked at the other person through the plain lenses again, there was more information in his field of vision.

Emily Granger

It is worthy of being a combat power detector produced by the system. It can even see people’s names.

But with this name, is she a foreigner? No, she should be mixed-race or something like that.

Si Ji pondered in his heart.

By the way, the Japanese in this parallel world have all kinds of hair colors, so hair color can no longer be used as a criterion for judging nationality.

[Combat Power: 0.5 (Cannot beat the goose)]

It doesn't even have a combat power of 5. This is too weak. It's powerless...

No, originally a combat power of 5 was the level of an adult male holding a shotgun. Now a girl who looks underage only has a combat power of 0.5, which should be considered normal?

[Features: Idiot (It is illegal to attack her with vitals)]

Are you a Pokémon? What is a critical attack?

"I saw a notice on the bulletin board of the shopping street committee that this place is for rent," the girl named Emily Granger was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing Four Seasons, she immediately put on a bossy look and said, "I want to rent a room, but only until the end of spring break."

Bulletin board? Washimiya Shiki rubbed his temple.

Speaking of which, there was indeed a rental advertisement posted there two years ago, and the price tags on it were still the original prices, but later it was covered by the opening poster of a popular ramen restaurant, so I never thought of removing it.

I seemed to have heard on the street a few days ago that a ramen restaurant had closed down. It seems that their posters were also removed by the committee, revealing the advertisement they posted two years ago.

Although the girl in front of him was of high quality, Si Ji had no intention of changing his lifestyle or disrupting his vacation rhythm.

Just when he was about to politely reject the other party by telling them that "the ad was from two years ago, and now rents have reached the 3.0 era, and the numbers have inflated to the point where no normal person would rent it," the landlord's page, which had been pretending to be dead, suddenly moved.

[A candidate who meets the requirements has been detected]

Emily Granger

【A-level tenants】

[Move-in Rewards: 1 blank resume, 1 skill upgrade voucher, start of subsequent tenant development tasks, start of dormitory upgrade tasks]

【Evaluation: Host, this tenant is worth renting! 】

So the words that came to Four Seasons' lips to refuse were: "Only until the end of spring break? If you rent longer, the rent can be cheaper for you."

"If I still can't succeed before the end of spring break, then I've already lost!" The girl raised her little face slightly and said seriously, "Then there's no need for me to stay here any longer."
