Tokyo: Who would still fall in love after being spoiled?

Chapter 1: The goal is to become Prime Minister before the age of

"The journey from Tottori to Tokyo takes about seven hours on the most affordable train."

"Wow—that's far."

"The second-best junior high school student in a rural town in Tottori has a lower score than the last-best junior high school student in any Tokyo middle school."

"What about first place?"

"I was the first one." Inoue held his chin in his hand while chatting with the girl sitting next to him during a boring history class. "Now I'm your classmate at a top public high school in Tokyo."

Today's history class was about the Byzantine Empire, a part he was already very familiar with.

"Wow - that's amazing." The woman was not interested at all and didn't show much support.

"So," he said with great ambition, "if I can score two hundred points higher than the second-best student in junior high school and get into Kitakura High School in the top hundred nationwide, then maybe I can rise from an ordinary citizen to become Prime Minister before I'm thirty-five!"

"Come on, come on..." The girl at the next table didn't talk to him, but focused on looking at the blackboard and taking notes.

Unfortunately, his next step was to trick her into having a lunch by offering her a 500 hourly wage increase after he became Prime Minister.

No, he's not cheating! This is a guaranteed investment.

Although the reality is that he doesn't even want to run for prime minister, and he doesn't even want to be a member of parliament. He has no interest in anything related to power.

He was staring out the window in a daze when his name was suddenly called by the history teacher.

"Inoue-san?"

"In..." He was forced to stand up.

"What is the full name of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire?" This question is not tested at all in the unified examination. The history teacher is obviously trying to make things difficult for us.

When he becomes prime minister, he will cut the hourly wages of all these guys by 500, and no one will be able to escape.

"Constantine Dragases Palaiologos." He waited for a moment, waiting for a virtual message that only he could see to flash before his eyes, and then answered calmly.

-1 points

"That's right... sit down."

"Yes."

This is the system he unlocked this morning.

It was said that he would commit suicide for love at the age of 20, and that several future girlfriends would grind him to dust, and his entire life was worthless. After evaluation, he was given five initial points.

It has just been completely reset to zero.

He bought a butter bun (1 point), two cans of Coke (1 point), a math problem (2 points), and the name of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire (1 point).

From this perspective, the name of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire is only worth two or three hundred yen, which is really cheap.

He gathered his thoughts and read the system description again to make sure there was nothing missed.

[This system will provide the host with system tasks with bonus points when encountering risk events related to future girlfriends.]

[Point rewards are for risk hedging purposes only. Please use points wisely to improve yourself and avoid wasting them to avoid repeating past mistakes.]

[Points can be used to purchase anything that a host can obtain through time and money in society.]

【…】

Below that is a long disclaimer with the note "The final right of interpretation belongs to the system."

With such a condescending attitude, he is no different from the capitalists who criticize consumers by saying, "If you can't afford it, it means you're not working hard enough."

They assigned him work, generously gave him a basic salary, and told him, "Don't spend this salary carelessly; spend it on something useful for the company."

Isn't this just free labor?

There's no need to worry that he'll just go on strike and quit.

Inoue has already confirmed the operational strategy for this system.

Try to complete low-risk tasks as much as possible, and use the points earned after completing the tasks to spend on yourself.

Just put aside the tasks you don’t want to do. After all, slacking off at work is how you gain value for yourself.

Let's see what the system can do to him if this continues.

The ending of "Chai Dao" has already been spoiled, and he still has to go through the motions of winning over his future girlfriend? Who would seriously push through a visual novel knowing it's going to end badly...

To unlock more defeat CGs?
What's more, points are nothing to him.

He created an account on the Internet to publish his paintings early on, and relying on the memory legacy of his previous life, he took the initiative and gained a lot of fame.

In the past two years since coming to Tokyo, I have drawn covers for various books and illustrations for light novels. Not only do I no longer need my family to support my living expenses, I have also earned some good money and saved a lot of money.

His commissioned work will continue to rise in the future, and becoming a highly acclaimed original artist is almost certain. Before he turns 30, he'll be able to buy a house in Tokyo's Kurome district, or even Bunkyo, and settle down there, living a stable life. If his parents are willing, they can bring him to Tokyo.

According to the 80/20 principle, we are already better off than 98 percent of the ordinary people in the world.

You can live freely without a points system.

However, now that he has the system, he has started to think about some of the regrets from his previous life again.

Even if he were to live his life over again, he would still be just an ordinary person; but now that he had the system, he was considered unique.

Perhaps... unlike his past life where he had hit the wall a hundred times, he now had the potential to leave a mark of his own in the long river of history.

squeak--

Suddenly, the chirping of cicadas was heard outside the window, breaking through the boring history and the heat and dullness of the approaching summer. It was like the horn of the summer cicadas charging towards the summer, waking up all the cicadas that had shed their shells in the entire campus.

"Ah - summer is here..." The girl at the next table sighed softly as she looked out the window as the cicadas chirped.

Most of the students in the classroom were looking out the window, and the teacher also paused his lecture, walked to the window and looked out.

"This is the first cicada chirping of the year at Kitakura High School... Everyone, summer is here, remember to buy some ice cream after school!" The history teacher was very happy.

"Ah...it's getting hot, please..."

But the students don't think so.

"The cicadas are so noisy..."

"Meiyu..."

There was a lot of complaints in the class.

The sound of cicadas chirping one after another gradually became louder and louder, forming the background sound of a summer classroom.

He looked out the window at the cherry tree with its emerald green leaves.

A breeze blew by, and the cicadas clinging to the treetops came into his sight as the cherry leaves swayed.

It made his heart beat inexplicably.

It would be a lie to say that I have never thought about starting a new life and pursuing my dreams.

He had been full of confidence more than once, imagining that if he came again this time, he might be able to reach the top.

But he has fallen too many times and suffered too many setbacks.

He had given up on that illusory ideal for too long... He had even forgotten the simple yet passionate emotion he felt when he was praised for his talent in painting as a child.

bell--

The bell for the end of get out of class rang, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.

He came to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.

"get out of class is over."

The teacher walked out of the classroom, and the girl at the next table stood up from her seat and stretched.

"Nishimura, can you lend me your notes?" He rubbed his brows, collected his thoughts, and spoke to the girl at the next table.

"Hey..." He had borrowed the girl's notes a few times before, so she wasn't surprised. She took the opportunity to tease him, "Didn't the history teacher say he'd check it... Parents? Remember to copy a few more pages... The future young Prime Minister."

"No, no one checked." He shook his head and tried to move the muscles on his face for the first time in a long time, forcing a smile that he wasn't sure how effective it would be. "I'm going to be serious this time."

"Hi - hi - come on!" Nishimura cheered him up without even looking at him, stood up from his chair, and followed the large crowd out of the classroom.

Halfway through the walk, I turned around and saw him opening his notebook and preparing to copy, which made me confused.

"Don't go?"

"No, I'm going to study. I plan to become Prime Minister by the age of thirty-five."

"Hey..." Nishimura sighed, "Stop pretending. Next period is physical education."

【Ding--】

【Mission: Play badminton with Amano Kanade. 】

【Reward: 1000 points.】

"Physical education class?" A system prompt flashed before his eyes, forcing him to stop writing.

"Even if you don't remember the class schedule, you should at least have some impression of special information like 'What is the last class before the weekend'..." Nishimura was no longer able to say anything else.

"I'll go right away..."
