There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Don't say that. You will definitely get into a lot of trouble in your current situation. Don't be polite and come to me when the time comes."

"…That's right. Please, then."

"That's right, hehe...ah!" Hiratsuka-sensei suddenly exclaimed as if he remembered something, and asked hurriedly: "I have been talking about this topic until now, but I still don't know what your future plans are?"

"I will stay in Japan and continue my studies at Sobu High School."

"Is that so..." Mr. Hiratsuka seemed relieved, and his voice became cheerful: "Then it seems that we can meet again."

"Of course... But I do have a favor to ask of you, Mr. Hiratsuka."

"Just say it."

"I hope to move to Sakurasou." Li Nian talked about the topic of moving to the dormitory.

"…Moving to Sakurasou?"

It seemed that the term Sakurasou caused some short circuits in Hiratsuka-sensei's thinking. After a while, she asked, "Why?"

Li Nian talked about her plan to rent out the apartment and her consideration of moving to a cheaper place to save money. After listening to this, Mr. Hiratsuka thought for a while and said with a wry smile.

"Are you sure? Speaking of Sakurasou, that's a place that everyone avoids. It's full of problem students... They're not bad kids, but I think it's not a place that most people can adapt to. I advise you to think about it again."

"Need not."

"Answer me quickly. It seems like you have already made your decision... But it's true. Maybe for you right now, Sakurasou with those kids here is a good place to go. I understand. I will negotiate with the school."

"Thank you so much."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you on September 1st. I hope to see you in good spirits. Goodbye."

"I just hope that my transformation won't surprise you too much... Well, goodbye then."

Li Nian hung up the phone, realizing that the move to Sakurasou was 80% settled.

On the other end of the phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Li Nian's name in the address book and muttered to herself.

"Really, it's like he's become a different person..."

Chapter 6: The End of the First Day and How to Start Next

After talking to Mr. Hirazuka, Li Nian called back all the missed calls one by one. As expected, they were all calls from people who wanted to discuss some serious matters with him.

There are two things worth mentioning.

First, there is compensation from the insurance company.

The parents of the previous life encountered a spiritual disaster, which was an unexpected misfortune and an accidental death. After the police determined this, the insurance company also cooperated very well and said that Li Nian only needed to go there and complete the formalities to receive the money.

Secondly, there was indeed contact from relatives of the previous life, who wanted to discuss future matters with Li Nian.

The man who was talking to Li Nian was his uncle. He sounded deeply sad about his parents' death, but seemed to be concerned about Li Nian. He avoided the topic of his parents' death and only said that Li Nian didn't need to worry about the future and that he would take good care of Li Nian like his own son. It seemed that he was going to take over the guardianship and provide for him in the future without saying anything.

Li Nian could hear the gentle tone that was taken for granted when treating family members, and felt the reality of the concept of family affection, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Although he had integrated the memories of his previous incarnation, he still felt that he and his previous incarnation were two completely different people. He did not know the man on the other end of the phone, and did not think he was qualified to accept the tenderness shown to his family.

Li Nian was sure that he was not thick-skinned enough to face his predecessor's real family, and he became more determined not to return to the mainland, and directly stated his plan to continue staying in Japan.

The uncle was shocked after hearing this and naturally disagreed and strongly opposed it. But after a long argument, Li Nian expressed her determination to live independently with a firm attitude and made it clear that she did not want to live under someone else's roof. Finally, the man couldn't persuade Li Nian and agreed reluctantly, but repeatedly emphasized that Li Nian should not force herself and could come to him at any time, and he insisted on transferring money to Li Nian no matter what.

This time it was Li Nian's turn to be unable to refuse the other party. Instead, the other party hung up the phone unilaterally. It seemed that receiving the remittance was a foregone conclusion.

Now, Li Nian has two more considerable sources of income... This will undoubtedly allow Li Nian to live a better life in the two years until he graduates from high school and becomes an adult.

But Li Nian knew very well that these sums of money had nothing to do with him, and were actually what his predecessor deserved.

"Look... there are still people who love you. It's too superficial to think that the world will collapse just because your parents died."

One of the reasons why his predecessor chose death was that, in fear and despair, he arbitrarily determined that his future was dark. Little did he know that it was purely his unfounded imagination. In fact, there were still people in this world who were unwilling to give up on him...

Although there is undoubtedly more money available now, Li Nian does not intend to change his decision to go to work.

After all, man has to rely on himself; he cannot allow himself to become a maggot that survives by sucking nutrients from the corpses of the dead.

Speaking of part-time jobs, Li Nian recalled that in his previous life, he had heard Aki Tomoya say that he had done a lot of odd jobs. That person proudly said that all his otaku items such as figures, novels, animations, and BDs were bought with the money he earned from working part-time.

Li Nian felt that she could get a lot of help from him regarding part-time jobs. After thinking about it, she directly called Aki Tomoya. The call was quickly connected and she heard a somewhat surprised voice on the other end.

"Is it Li Nian? It's strange that you would call me."

"Because some things are easier to explain over the phone, it's like this—"

Li Nian told him that she wanted to work and expressed the hope that he could recommend some good places.

"Why do you want to work for no reason?"

Akitomo also didn't understand why his friend suddenly wanted to start working part-time.

"I'm a little short of money lately."

Li Nian made up this excuse casually. When An Yi heard it, she fell silent for some reason. Then she raised her voice as if she was a little angry.

"Those people are looking for you again!?"

Li Nian was stunned. He didn't understand who An Yi was referring to. He asked stupidly, "What?"

The man on the other end continued angrily with a tone of disappointment: "Don't hide it. I know it must be those seniors who asked you to [borrow money] again, right? That's blackmail! Why do you always let it go? I told you long ago that it's better to cut off ties with people like this as soon as possible. Why don't you listen?"

Now Li Nian understood.

An Yi was close to his predecessor and had seen him being harassed by a group of hooligans in the third grade. Although his predecessor tried to cover it up by saying that those people were friends, he still saw that Li Nian was actually being harassed by the hooligans. He had told Li Nian not to hang out with that group of people and to cut off ties with them as soon as possible. Now, when he heard Li Nian say that he was short of money, he thought of that and believed that Li Nian was being blackmailed again.

This made Li Nian feel warm in his heart and he said with a smile.

"Don't worry, this time it's not what you think... I have decided to cut off contact with them."

"……what?"

It was obvious that Tomoya Aki didn't expect Li Nian to say it so bluntly.

"Something happened recently, and my mentality has changed a bit. That's why I want to work now, because I feel I can't be like before."

As Li Nian explained this, An Yilun suddenly noticed that the feeling given by this friend in these few words was different from usual.

"...Indeed, you seem to have changed a bit?"

"Who knows, I might surprise you when we meet again."

"Is it that scary?"

"Ah, after all, he has evolved from a passerby character to a protagonist."

"Just go ahead and talk!"

"And it's not a harem-themed anime, it's a battle-themed anime!"

"It's getting more and more outrageous!"

"Haha..." Li Nian made a couple of nerdy jokes, then said seriously, "Anyway, I'd like to ask for your advice on the part-time job."

"...Indeed, you seem to have changed a lot. I'm a little curious about what's happened. Why don't we get together now? The summer vacation is almost over and we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's choose a place to meet?"

"Not now." Li Nian refused: "I have something to do. I'm just telling you this first. Can I come back to you in a couple of days?"

He has some things to take care of right now, such as the insurance company requiring him to visit in person, and he also wants to rent out the house as soon as possible and prepare to move.

And...he also needs some time to adapt to this world.

"Really? I haven't been working these days, so I don't have any reservations. You can contact me anytime."

"Yes, we'll talk about it then."

After ending the call with Tomoya Aki, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the dirty and messy space in front of him.

Then, it’s time to clean up.

After I started to do it, I realized how difficult it was to clean this environment that had been left unattended since my parents passed away. Fortunately, Li Nian had been helping with housework when she had a heart attack before, and she was quite good at it. It took me more than a morning to clean the house inside and out.

During this period, Mr. Hiratsuka called and said that he had already reached an agreement with the school and told Li Nian that there was always a vacant room there and he could move in at any time.

After cleaning, Li Nian ate some instant noodles and took a shower. When she wanted to change her clothes, she found that her original clothes were too small due to the body reshaping. Li Nian had no choice but to try on her father's clothes, only to find that they fit her perfectly. So she changed into a casual and cool outfit and went out.

Walking on the street, looking at the city scenery and people coming and going around me, listening to the trivial Japanese sounds echoing in my ears, the two feelings of familiarity and strangeness emerged in my heart at the same time, and I felt that this was a foreign country in another world.

After that, Li Nian was busy all afternoon, dealing with insurance and house rental matters, contacting a moving company, buying clothes, and various daily necessities and food. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when he got home carrying large and small bags of things.

He threw his things aside, lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The infinite fatigue accumulated from various things finally surged up in one breath and turned into darkness that swallowed up his consciousness.

This all seems like a dream... If it is a dream, will I be able to go back when I wake up tomorrow...

Chapter 7 Skill Tree

When Li Nian woke up naturally, it was still light and cool outside. It was early morning.

Although he had fully recovered, he was still a little dazed. He sat up from the sofa, looked around, and confirmed that it was still the clean room that he had cleaned yesterday. Only then did he regain some clarity.

"That's right..."

Li Nian rubbed his nose bridge and confirmed again that he was now reborn as a time traveler.

The last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished. He knew that at this point it was no longer possible to think about returning to his past life.

He walked to the bathroom, scooped up a handful of cold water from the sink and splashed it on his face, then wiped it twice. Even after washing his face, Li Nian raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror with a serious expression.

After taking this look, he suddenly realized that he didn't know if it was an illusion, but this face didn't give him the feeling of a stranger, but rather a younger version of himself.

But he traveled through time after death and possessed another person... This is very strange.

Li Nian looked at it carefully again, and the feeling of familiarity became stronger. The corners of the eyes and eyebrows were indeed very similar to his own.

Is it the effect of body reshaping? Or is it that the previous incarnation was actually someone who looked similar to me?

Li Nian was very confused and couldn't be sure.

He looked in the mirror before his body was reshaped. When he saw his previous appearance in the mirror, his first thought was "That is definitely not my face." But now thinking about it, what he saw was actually the overall impression of a person, mainly because the figure and aura were too different, and he didn't actually look at the face carefully.

If my predecessor had eaten well and had a strong body, would it have had a similar appearance to me like it does now?

When she started to pay attention to this, a sentence suddenly popped up in Li Nian's mind:

——The soul and body are adaptable.

This naturally led to an extension of thinking.

——Possession means that another soul takes over a body that does not belong to itself. Even if it succeeds, it should not be able to take over perfectly. There will be some rejection reactions and the container will not match...

After suddenly realizing that this was a groundless thought, Li Nian put his hand on his head, feeling incredulous about his own thoughts.

Why did I suddenly think of this?

I think of this knowledge naturally, and I am certain of it as if it were the truth, and I think about it without question.

When he noticed it, Li Nian suddenly realized that there seemed to be a lot more things somewhere in his mind.

All kinds of knowledge about techniques, martial arts, weapons, and cultivation have quietly existed somewhere in my mind without me noticing.

It's like having an extra library in my head.

"So the body reconstruction also includes the brain? My god... how much private stuff has been stuffed in there?"

Li Nian no longer wanted to be surprised by this.

He no longer wanted to think about all sorts of random things because of the similar appearance. After washing up normally, Li Nian quickly made a bowl of noodles with the ingredients he bought yesterday. He beat eggs and put chopped green onions in it. While eating, he opened the system panel and looked at it.

No matter how much you study, there is only one monotonous panel.

The attributes are still the same, there is no change, and the skills are blank, which is even more annoying.

Speaking of systems, don't they usually have to have functions like redemption? For example, a mall where you can exchange your achievements for things... That's the so-called way to become stronger. It can be said that that is the biggest use of the cheat code.

But now, Li Nian couldn't figure out where that path was...

"Just put out a panel for people to see? Isn't this system really useless?"

Li Nian was thinking while slurping the noodles, when suddenly he saw an extra word appear at the bottom of the panel.
