My wife is the stand-in.

She nodded slowly: "Yes, the top-level martial arts masters often use the traditional method of taking on apprentices, so you will need to follow Master Jie for the next few years."

"call!"

Amanosaki sighed deeply; he understood his future path.

It's true that no one can have all the advantages.

"learn……"

"Do your houses have furnishings and separate bathrooms and kitchens?" Saria interrupted Amanosaki.

"Yes, yes." Lin Shuyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, extremely obedient.

Then Saria, who had been keeping a cold face, revealed a smile that seemed to dispel her icy demeanor, and reached out to pull her shield from the door: "Let's go now."

While it's still early, let's do another round of Amanosaki tonight.

"Oh, okay." Lin Shuyu pulled out a tablet from her bag without any hesitation, skillfully found the electronic contract, and said, "Please sign the contract and leave your fingerprints, voiceprints, iris scans, and other information. DNA and blood samples will be sent to the branch office later..."

She talked on and on, but a thought kept echoing in her mind.

Sigh, why did I listen to her? She's just someone with superpowers.

"Nozaki, just bring the computer set; throw the rest away."

Seria said as she went into the kitchen to continue her experiment, "We'll leave in 10 minutes."

Lin Shuyu sat blankly on the uncomfortable folding stool, watching Amanosaki, who offered no resistance to her supernatural ability, begin packing her things.

Why didn't he resist? Why didn't I resist?

The girl clutched her head, unable to comprehend it.

Ah... speaking of which, the leader instructed her to give her the highest level of treatment, but this Mr. Amanosaki was quite satisfied with even the lowest level of treatment.

Is this what poverty is, Grandpa? Poverty really can limit a person's imagination!

Poverty is amazing!

"I won't have to worry about rent and utilities for the next six months."

In the bedroom, Amanosaki smiled contentedly.

Getting something for free makes people happy.

-------------------------------------

The process of going downstairs was not smooth. The corridor was crowded with people who were either curious or harbored ill intentions, giving them no chance to go downstairs directly.

Amanosaki had no doubt that the yakuza of the urban village were involved.

So, after leaving behind the words "See you downstairs," he grabbed his laptop, and then, with Saria in tow, jumped off the roof.

The high-density bones controlled by calcification and the Rhine Energy Suit can resist the impact of landing. Under Saria's control, Amanosaki's spine was also temporarily strengthened. In addition, he had shared some of Saria's physical strength, so the process went quite smoothly.

About seven or eight minutes later, Lin Shuyu, her hair and skirt a little messy, frowned and jogged downstairs, clutching the work permit issued by Qunxia Mountain in her hand.

She was almost detained by those with ulterior motives, but fortunately, her "Celestial Physiognomy" gave her extraordinary thinking abilities, allowing her to feign danger and successfully intimidate them with her work ID.

"Abandoning the lady, this guy is not a gentleman at all!" Lin Shu said angrily, adding the next label.

"Hey, I've been waiting for ages."

Amanosaki, clutching her laptop, waved from across the street. "How do we get there? We're not taking the light rail, are we?"

"Come with me." Lin Shuyu said curtly, turning her head and walking out of the street without looking back.

Three minutes later, Amanosaki stroked his chin, looking at the car in front of him suspiciously.

A sports car, a two-seater model at that, unsurprisingly, he, being both poor and a time traveler, didn't recognize the logo at all.

"Is Qunxia Mountain really that wealthy? Even dispatchers can afford sports cars? That's incredibly decadent." Amanosaki clicked his tongue in amazement. "There's only one seat besides the driver's seat. Where am I supposed to sit?"

Lin Shuyu got into the driver's seat with a sour look on her face, rolling her eyes: "This is a birthday present that Grandpa bought for me... Of course you're sitting in the passenger seat."

Ha, turns out she's a rich woman.

A hint of disdain flashed through Amanosaki's mind. So what if she's a rich woman? Can you have a husband with superpowers?

I have a girlfriend with superpowers!

He unconsciously made comparisons in his mind, and then, in a self-deceptive manner, unilaterally declared himself the victor.

"Where is Saria?"

"Put your powers away..." Lin Shuyu looked at Amanosaki in shock. "I mean, you haven't ever voluntarily deactivated your powers, have you...? Really? Oh my god!"

"Maintaining superpowers for a long time will damage physical strength, mental strength, and even lifespan!"

Lin Shuyu stared in shock at Amanosaki, who seemed to say, "So that's how it is, no wonder I've been eating so much lately," feeling that her worldview had been completely shattered.

Are men these days willing to risk their lives to seduce a woman?

Lin Shuyu felt indignant.

With such powerful superpowers, why not save the world and instead stay home dating?

Once you're in the branch, see how I deal with you!

Her hands, gripping the steering wheel, twitched with excitement.

Chapter 18: Amanosaki Will Never Bow Down

The melodious aria, the luxurious interior design, the faint scent of perfume mixed with the cool air from the air conditioning, and the faint, alluring roar of the engine emanating from the soundproof cabin of the steel beast beneath you.

Amanosaki couldn't help but sigh, realizing that his previous understanding of the lives of the rich was really limited to "the Eastern Palace Empress rolls scallions, the Western Palace Empress bakes pancakes, and the Emperor farms with a golden hoe."

The happiness of the rich is something I can hardly imagine.

The iced cola stuck in the umbrella holder in the car door silently dripped condensed moisture, and the air cushion under my bottom was as soft as a young girl's breasts.

In that narrow space, there was only him and Lin Shuyu.

After removing her substitute, Saria seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and no further emotions were expressed.

She must trust me so much that she wouldn't bother with such unfounded jealousy.

Amanosaki listened to the melodious tune coming from the stereo, tapping his toes lightly.

A few dozen seconds later, under Lin Shuyu's strange gaze, he shook his head a few times and gently patted his face.

That was close! I almost got corrupted by the allure of capitalism!

Amanosaki, the former successor of socialism and now a stand-in user, immediately became alert.

Branch offices are places that gather the elites of a province, including many arrogant and conceited individuals. In novels, at times like this, some clueless people will step in to ridicule the protagonist, then expose their own, their parents', their grandparents', and their entire family's faces to the protagonist.

Amanosaki was confident that, given his Stand ability, as long as things didn't turn sour later and he woke up to find his girlfriend had turned into a slice-of-life character, he wouldn't be too afraid.

But art is ultimately derived from reality, and the places where conflicts arise in novels often mirror similar real-life events.

Having experienced the hardships of life in urban villages, how could Amanosaki miss the perfect opportunity to chat and gather information on the street?

“Miss Lin, I’m sure you’re familiar with my situation at Qunxia Mountain. I’m a country bumpkin. I’ve only ever associated with free-spirited knights before. I’ve never even visited a branch of the sect, let alone a local branch…”

As soon as Amanosaki started speaking, Lin Shuyu, who was driving, immediately followed suit:

“I know, I know, I’ve seen your file. You’re the first free agent in the Yushan branch to use a fake household registration. There’s no record of your past deeds or information. It’s like you were a rock before, with no household registration, no birth certificate, and no trace of your activities. Then you suddenly popped up a few years ago.”

"The HR department said you're very mysterious, like an ancient knight-errant, with your past all buried."

Silence, only silence is the sports car of today.

This girl, who appears to be from a wealthy family, may really be here to experience life. Her very first words killed Amanosaki's desire to continue.

No! I cannot underestimate the Yushan branch, which embodies the essence of an entire province!

A glint flashed in Amanosaki's eyes.

This must be her special ability, [Celestial Form]!

She was pretending to be innocent, but in reality, she was using her supernatural abilities to observe and analyze herself.

It is said that people tend to show their true colors in front of fools and the mentally challenged. How could she, with her supernatural abilities enhancing her thinking, possibly be true to herself?

I was careless before. I didn't consider that I would awaken my superpowers and attract the attention of the official forces so quickly. If I had known, I would have spent more money to buy the safest fake household registration service.

What a mistake!

Amanosaki, your identity as a transmigrator must never be exposed! This is your Achilles' heel!

Once the disadvantage of information asymmetry is exposed, you will be manipulated like Tom.

It's very dangerous now. What should we do? Kill them to cover it up and then flee abroad?

Amanosaki fell into deep thought.

Lin Shuyu didn't expect that her straightforward approach would take a completely different turn with Amanosaki.

As mentioned before, it is impossible for an ordinary person to maintain superpowers indefinitely, as it would be a huge burden on their physical strength. Moreover, she, who has always been pampered, is not known for her physical abilities, so she usually does not use her superpowers.

She was genuinely just curious about Amanosaki's fake identity.

Even now, when she catches a glimpse of Amanosaki's somewhat conflicted face out of the corner of her eye, she feels a pang of self-reproach.

Lin Shuyu, Lin Shuyu, why do you enjoy probing into other people's hearts so much? Isn't it already known that Amanosaki's family is poor? His narcissism is likely related to his childhood experiences, and perhaps this is just a facade to cover up his inner vulnerability?

Is it really okay for you to tear apart what others are trying to cover up?

This is not something a lady should do!

Even if you want to retaliate, you should target his strengths, not bully his weaknesses!

"The past is not a good memory." Amanosaki, feeling powerless to escape the state's pursuit, attempted to end with this ambiguous statement.

"Ah, I understand, I understand. Grandpa said that it's even harder for young people these days. But, Mr. Amanosaki, no matter what happens, don't give up easily!"

Lin Shuyu, who was driving, suddenly became excited. She had already imagined from Amanosaki's words the miserable childhood of losing both parents at a young age, being bullied every day in the orphanage, and running away in her teens to survive alone in the city.

Unable to comprehend Lin Shuyu's thought process, Amanosaki watched as the car sped towards 80 miles per hour, with the 30-mile speed limit sign flashing by.

He quietly grabbed the handle on the roof of the car and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, be careful, you're speeding."

"It's okay, it's okay," Lin Shuyu replied enthusiastically, even taking her hands off the direction sign and waving them around. "The police are very friendly; they turn a blind eye when they see me speeding."

As she spoke, Lin Shuyu closed one eye and said in a cute tone as if she were telling only one person, "My great-uncle provides the police officers with the latest police cars every year to catch criminals. We're very close."
