Tokyo Soft Rice King

Hei Yuming remembered that he had seen a related video out of boredom before, which said that the success rate of handsome guys in picking up girls was only 5%, so what was important was the number of times and the way of picking up girls.

It is generally believed that a subtle approach is more acceptable than a sleazy approach.

Although his frivolous approach to chatting up girls might attract those who just want to have fun, Kuroba Akira's goal is not to pick up girls, so he is closer to being a 'scouting agent'.

Considering that after Hei Yuming successfully strikes up a conversation, if the other party is really the unknown genius he is looking for, he will have to find a way to establish a good relationship with them, so it is important to leave a good first impression on the other party.

Then you can't reveal your intentions directly, otherwise the other party will become suspicious and wary, so a way of chatting up that won't cause embarrassment is a more ideal start.

Individual differences are also an important factor that affects the experience of being approached. Those who are extroverted and unrestrained are more receptive to humorous and dirty jokes than those who are stable and honest.

Just like the class monitor, he is obviously a real person, so he is very receptive and can handle his own teasing with ease...

"……what?"

Suddenly, Hei Yuming was a little scared by his own condition.

You have to know that I just watched the video explaining how to pick up girls because I was bored. After so much time, the content has become blurry. Why can I still remember it now?

Is your memory really that good?

The most important thing is that the thinking is very clear, it's like the brain has been washed and it feels brand new.

Hei Yuming raised his hands in confusion, moved the milk drink in his right hand to his left hand, and slowly opened his right hand.

Then he smiled helplessly.

"Ha... the real cheat is now online."

The palm of his right hand, which should have been empty, revealed a talent that Kuroba Akira never possessed.

Academic A

Hei Yuming can copy talents.

Chapter 13: A Beautiful Girl Once in a Millennium

Hei Yuming didn't know when he acquired this talent.

Could it be that it was imprinted when we just shook hands?

In short, Kuroba Akira is talented now.

Now he also understood what it felt like to have talent.

First of all, my memory has become stronger. I can not only recall what I have seen before, but also remember some details.

Nowadays, things that used to require recitation several times to remember can now be remembered firmly after reciting them once.

Moreover, my concentration is much stronger than before, and I won’t be distracted by boring thoughts.

My ability to understand has also greatly improved. Even if there is no one to explain things to me, I can quickly summarize and sort out the context.

Finally, I am full of confidence and feel that I can now do many things that I couldn’t do before.

Or there is an urge to give it a try.

Although there is no visible change in appearance, the impact of talent on the inner self can be said to be a complete transformation.

He remembered a theory called the '10,000-hour theory', which roughly means that the reason why geniuses are considered so outstanding is not because of their extraordinary talent, but because of their continuous efforts. After 10,000 hours of training, anyone can go from ordinary to extraordinary.

Hei Yuming wants to say: This is pure bullshit!

Geniuses do exist, and they can reach the top in much less time than ten thousand hours.

However, after the plug-in was launched, Hei Yuming fell into hesitation.

If I have talent now, I can make a career in various fields. As long as I can stand out, I can avoid being treated like a beast of burden and used to death like in my previous life... So, do I have to give up living off my wife?

No, it is still uncertain how long this copied talent will last, and we cannot bet our future on something so uncertain.

Maybe when I go home and wash my hands, the words on my hands will disappear.

Compared to talent, Kuroba Ming trusts his own caution more.

Thinking about all these things along the way, Hei Yuming was finally about to reach home.

Walking along the riverside where he usually jogs in the morning to the residential area, Hei Yuming saw a cat under the street light.

"Meow!"

After seeing Hei Yuming, he called out to him.

"Oh, Kuroo... were you waiting for me?"

"Meow~" seems to be saying 'yes'.

Heiwei is the wild cat that Hei Yuming met on the first day after he traveled through time. It was white all over except for its tail which was black.

Although it is a wild cat, its body is very clean, even its paws are pink, it doesn't look like it has any experience of being a stray cat.

Moreover, Kuroo often went to Grandma Kobayashi's house to eat, so Kurooha Ming also became familiar with this cat.

However, Heiwei never lets anyone touch him. If you reach out your hand, he will be clawed. Hei Yuming has paid the price of blood for this several times.

At first, Kuroba Ming thought that this cat might be spiritual. After all, Mr. Kobayashi's last words also mentioned "the person brought back by Kuroo", so maybe this cat really has something special.

Of course, whether in his past life or this life, Hei Yuming is a staunch materialist fighter. He believes that everything in the world that cannot be explained by science has only been explored to that level temporarily.

So since time travel has happened, it doesn’t seem strange that a cat demon appears.

But later he found that no matter how he looked at it, Kuroo was just a slightly smart cat, unlike the cat in Team Rocket who could speak human language.

So being guided by it might just be a coincidence.

This area is probably Kuroo's territory, so if they encounter a strange intruder, they will take the person to a trustworthy human, that is, Granny Kobayashi.

So, don’t fantasize about cats turning into cute girls...

Cat girls with animal ears... don't exist! (sad)

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!"

Kuroo jumped down from the low wall of someone else's yard and meowed at Kuroo Ming's feet.

Following the kitten's gaze, Hei Yuming found that it was looking at the milk in his hand.

"Why...are you staring at the milk in my hand?"

"Meow~" sounds like it's saying 'hmm'.

What a greedy cat! It’s not a kitten anymore, why does it still like to drink milk?

Although Hei Yuming didn't want to drink the bottle of cold hot milk, and it was okay to give it to Heiwei, he still argued with a cat.

"No, this is given to me by the squad leader."

"Meow?!"

Kuroo looked shocked, his tail standing up.

"Do you think being cute can be eaten? Kitten, let me teach you today that this world is cruel. If you want something delicious, you have to exchange it for other benefits."

"Meow meow meow meow!"

I always felt that it was cursing some unpleasant words to express its dissatisfaction, but Hei Yuming couldn't understand cat language.

"Meow..." Kuroo's voice finally became low, as if to say 'ok'.

Then Heiwei patted Hei Yuming's feet, turned around and walked forward a few steps, then looked back at Hei Yuming.

Having already had this experience, Kuroba knew that Kuroo was asking him to follow.

"Oh wow? Is it really beneficial?"

What else could a kitten be good for? A dead mouse?

But then he thought about the first day he came to this world. It was because of following Kuroo that he met Granny Kobayashi, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and avoided sleeping on the streets.

So let’s follow along this time, what if there’s a surprise?

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Hei Yuming did not rush home, but decided to take a longer detour.

Following Kuroo around the residential area, they came to a forest, where Kurooha Akira saw the entrance to a shrine.

Hei Yuming has lived nearby for almost half a year and has never been to this place.

It turns out there's a shrine nearby...

But judging from the faded and missing torii gate, this shrine may have been abandoned for a long time.

Kuroo continued walking forward, passed through the torii gate, and entered the shrine. As a materialistic warrior, Kurooha Akira was not afraid of the dark, let alone ghosts, and followed without hesitation.

Walking up the stone steps and across the main approach, the dilapidated worship hall appeared before him.

Then, Hei Yuming saw a figure on the money box.

The sky is cloudless tonight and the moon is still bright.

The moonlight fell on the man, as if a mist was surrounding him.

Is she a fairy from an abandoned shrine? A god?

Or maybe... just a high school girl who ran away from home.

After all, he was still wearing a sailor suit.

The real reason why Hei Yu stared at it intently was...

She is so beautiful.

Seeing this, Hei Yuming was reminded of the extremely exaggerated description of Neon in his previous life: a beautiful girl that only appears once in a thousand years. Of course, most of them were overrated.

But at this moment, he seemed to have really met a beautiful girl who deserved this description.

There was no smile on her clean, fair face, her hair and eyes were as black as the night sky, her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips were as crimson as cherry blossoms. She was so beautiful that it was enchanting, yet she looked cold and lifeless.

She just sat there quietly, like a sea without tides and ripples, blending into the background of the dilapidated temple, giving people the feeling of a fairy descending to earth.

It's so beautiful that it makes you forget to breathe...

"Meow, meow, meow?"

Kuroo's cry brought Hei Yuming back to his senses from his daze.

I looked down and saw Kuroo's smug little face, as if to say, "How about this? Is this a good thing?"

Yes, it’s possible...but it’s not enough.

Reviewing the pick-up tips he had just remembered in his mind, Hei Yuming walked forward.

Then he spoke...

"Beautiful girl, do you want to go home with me?"

The worst way to pick up a girl.

Chapter 14: God's Girl

The girl's reaction to Kuroba Akira's obvious conversational words was...

no response!

"..."

She still sat there blankly, her expression not even changing.

Although his first attempt at picking up a girl in his life ended in failure, Hei Yuming did not give up.

Not only that, he was very sure that he had attracted the other party's attention, because although the girl's expression was still cold, her eyes were already on Hei Yuming, the unfriendly visitor.

Hei Yuming actually used this statement deliberately to test her, to see how she would react, and then choose the next step based on her reaction.

This is the essence of chatting up people, being flexible and adaptable to the situation and seeing who the person is.

If the other person appears very happy, it means that she is indeed a God-favored girl, and it will be relatively easy to approach her. If she is very angry, feels insulted, or even just frowns, it means that she does not expect to be picked up by anyone, and is full of vigilance towards strangers.

However, this beautiful girl with long black hair is not at either end of the spectrum of joy or anger, but in the middle.

She may not know how to react, or she may not even understand what the person in front of her wants.
