Chapter 2
The system felt that it was really stupid. It had known on the first day of its time travel that its host was a passive and lazy person. But it had not expected that even after it reshaped the vest system according to the host's wishes, the host would still be passive and lazy.
Thinking about the fate of his colleagues who drifted to various parallel worlds and eventually ran out of energy, the system felt that its own future was bleak. Even so, he did not dare to cry out loud. According to his host's temperament, once he annoyed him, he might ignore him for several days in a row.
I heard sobbing sounds in my ears, feeling aggrieved but not daring to speak loudly. The system probably also studies human preferences before selecting a host. Such sounds will indeed make most people soften their hearts.
But it didn't work for Shinichi Hirin. After just a few days of getting along with each other, he was sure that his host was the type who was cold on the outside but even colder on the inside. Otherwise, how could he ignore all kinds of programs designed specifically for human hobbies?
The actual situation is quite different from what the inexperienced system imagines. There is an attribute called "otaku" in the world. Most people with this attribute will have mild social phobia. Shinichi Hinawa is this type.
He usually seems to be indifferent and aloof, but once you get to know him a little better, you will find that, except for appearing a little gloomy when he has nothing to say, he is generally a relatively easy person to get along with.
[Host, if you don't complete the additional tasks we agreed on earlier, the system will shut down.]
The host's attitude was cold, and the system had no choice but to place the additional task in a more conspicuous place.
"knew."
Shinichi Hinawa took a glance and said, "Please use your pseudonym to impress the Child of the World (300 points)."
After the system panel is refreshed, the first vest is free to use, the second vest requires 300 points to open, and more points are required for subsequent vests. Even each vest has an initial level of one, and points are required to upgrade.
The accumulation of points depends on the extra tasks mentioned by the system before. According to the tasks issued by the system, a simpler understanding is to conquer these sons of the world.
As a typical game geek, Shinichi Hinata has the habit of preparing a strategy before going to the dungeon. The reason why he has not responded to the system is that he has not found a suitable entry point into the plot.
It is better than looking for guides online or dying again and again in the game world to look for clues. The system has enough information. Even if there are changes in the integrated world, the system can play the role of its super-high-dimensional intelligent product and update as much information as possible for Shinichi Hirin.
Now is the time.
The first thing you need is an impressive debut.
Fifteen years old is the age when students graduate from junior high school. Most students will enter their dream high school with beautiful aspirations after a satisfying vacation.
However, the option of further study was not included in the options provided by the Gojo family to Gojo Satoru. Not to mention further study, the education on various knowledge was provided by private teachers hired by the family at high prices.
Although it is not known to what extent he has reached, judging from the astonished expressions on the faces of those teachers when they left, Gojo Satoru was able to complete it perfectly even if the education was not related to spells. After all, he is the world's number one genius!
A so-called genius has to shoulder heavier responsibilities than ordinary people. The tasks that the old men at home cannot handle have to be handled by him, Lord Gojo Satoru.
But before that, if you come to Tokyo, you must not miss the daily limited snacks of Mikazuki-do!
After eating snacks, I will deal with the new ghost stories that have appeared in Tokyo. If they are delicious, I will pack some to take back to Kyoto after solving the problem.
Plans are great, but reality often goes a little differently than planned.
"Boss, give me three servings of Sun and Moon Roast!"
The store manager, whose last name is Kawamoto, has gray hair but is still in good health: "I'm sorry, sir, we are out of snacks."
He was in a bad mood because he didn't get to eat dim sum, but Gojo Satoru also knew that this was a very famous dim sum restaurant, and it was normal that he didn't get to buy dim sum since he only came in the afternoon.
How about telling the assistant supervisor that the curse hasn’t been resolved and come back to buy it the next day?
Similar thoughts flashed through his mind and then stopped, because he saw a boy about his age push the door open, walk around the store, and then go straight to a counter in the store. In the end, he actually brought down a plate, on which was the Sun and Moon Yaki that he had been dreaming of!
"Manager, didn't you say there was no more? What was that person eating?" Gojo Satoru, who failed to snatch food from others for the first time, was about to explode with anger, and pointed at the young man who had just come in angrily.
The store manager was also very surprised. He had not noticed that the offerings on the altar had been taken away. It was only when the customer called out that he discovered that there was an extra person in his store, who had taken his offerings and eaten them on his own initiative.
Weird, could it be that his eyesight was blurry? It was so obvious that none of the children noticed it?
"Ah, my dear, this is a sacrifice to the gods, and it must not be touched."
The boy being pointed at had platinum blonde hair, lake blue eyes, and a soft temperament. When he was accused, his voice was soft and slow like a whimpering puppy: "But what should I do if I'm hungry?"
It was the first time that Gojo Satoru saw someone who wanted to eat so blatantly, and his eyes widened.
As a store manager, he should have strictly prohibited such a child from doing something no different from a thief, but Manager Kawamoto also has a granddaughter of similar age, and he really couldn't harden his heart when facing such a soft-hearted child.
"Just this once, because you're hungry." The kind-hearted old man tried to use a serious tone, but after thinking it over, he decided to go to the kitchen to get some unsold snacks for the child.
Gojo Satoru, who witnessed everything, didn't know what expression he should make. Although it was true that he couldn't buy snacks anyway, he still got angry when he saw others making mistakes and still getting snacks!
The eldest young master who is spoiled in the clan is used to playing the role of the bad guy.
Gojo Satoru put his foot on the chair that the boy was not sitting on and pretended to be vicious.
Before I could think of what to say, the boy suddenly spoke up with a puzzled expression: "Can you see me?"
"Nonsense! You snack thief, if you don't give me half today, I will arrest you!"
Seeing the vicious words and expression, Gojo Satoru, based on his own successful experience at home, felt that the soft child in front of him must have been frightened by him.
However, unexpectedly, the boy suddenly came closer and grabbed Gojo Satoru's wrist with his right hand. At this distance, he should be able to feel the breath on his skin, but Gojo Satoru felt nothing. All he could feel was the other person's lake blue eyes and his own reflected pupils, which were dilated with astonishment.
There is no limit to this technique. As the ancestral technique of the Gojo family, Gojo Satoru is the only person who can truly use this technique in hundreds of years.
But my unlimited magic that was supposed to isolate everything didn't work when the boy came closer.
Did he forget to activate the technique? No, he had been activating the technique since he entered the urban legend area.
So why? In coordination with the master's thinking, the six eyes played their best role in collecting all the information that could be collected. However, what he could see was no different from before.
In other words, nothing! Just like the air, quiet and ordinary.
After just a moment, the boy who was approaching pulled away: "Your eyes are very special. If you can see, then do me a favor."
"The Colorless King has come to this city. This is not a good sign. If I can help, I will repay you."
The door was not far away, and while Gojo Satoru was still in shock, the person in front of him had already walked out of the door. Just as he was about to chase him, the store manager who had just gone to the kitchen came out and said, "Sir, these snacks are for you."
Gojo Satoru, who was blocked from going forward, was confused: "Aren't these snacks supposed to be given to that snack thief? Why are they giving them to me?"
Manager Kawamoto rushed down but didn't hit anything. He was very angry and said, "Weren't you the one who stole my snacks just now?"
"Why would I steal your snacks?" Gojo Satoru said speechlessly, "I was the one who helped catch the thief."
But no matter what, Gojo Satoru discovered that the store manager seemed to be certain that there was no third person just now. Whether it was the person who bought the snacks or stole the snacks from Shinryo, it was only Gojo Satoru. As for the other boy who appeared, it seemed that he had never existed in the store manager's memory.
By the time he finally managed to deal with the stubborn store manager and ran out, the person who had wrongly accused him had disappeared. Also disappeared was the first-level cursed spirit that was lurking nearby and that he had originally planned to destroy.
And the person who caused all this chaos was walking leisurely on the street, holding a snack that Gojo Satoru had been longing for in his hand.
[Host, you just reduced Gojo Satoru's initial favorability to negative numbers?] The system asked quietly, not daring to shout about increasing favorability like before.
"Well, now I am Tokyo." Based on the principle that only actors who are immersed in the role can better interpret the plot, Shinichi Hinawa chose to look at the problem from a pseudonymous perspective.
Shinichi Hinami, or Tokyo Vest, opened the system panel.
It shows that the task of impressing the children of the world has been completed and 300 points have been credited. However, the task has not disappeared. There is an additional completion degree 1 after the task, which seems to be a long-term task.
The system is still persuading, trying to get the host and Gojo Satoru to get along well.
But Shinichi doesn't think so. He is still in the stage of perfecting his character, and having too good a relationship is not a good thing.
It is clearly a manifestation of the city, but it has never appeared in anyone's sight. This is a fatal loophole, but fortunately it can be remedied.
In order to construct the vest of city consciousness, all the energy of the vest system was put into it. And part of the abilities and properties of those vests were transformed into pure energy to construct the form, and the other part was preserved by Shinichi Hirin.
Among these vests, there is a special category.
Gods walk in the world but are unknown to humans. This is because it is difficult for humans to glimpse the forms of gods. Even if they accidentally form a connection with gods, they will lose the memory of this after a short time.
Shinichi Hirin retained this part of the properties on the city vest, but even if it is difficult for gods to form a relationship with humans, some traces will be left, which requires another artifact to modify the plot.
