Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Unlike Mai, which is uncontrollable and cannot be observed, the 'One Leaf Blocks the View' produced by the system is completely free from the risk of being uncontrollable. The only thing to worry about is whether it requires a lot of mental energy and whether Lin Qianshu has enough mana.

As for the girl's feelings, to be honest, before he got them, Lin Qianshu couldn't guess what use this thing would be. It couldn't just be to keep Mai's affection for him at the maximum value, could it?

What hypnosis system?

In addition to the first two rewards, there are also a number of wish points. Although it is only a number, Lin Qianshu estimated that it would be no less than 5 points. After all, this is a special wish commission. Even with the first two rewards being so good, the wish points given later could not be less than those of a blue wish commission, right?

So, including these wish points, it's essentially like getting two abilities from one task, since Lin Qianshu's prayers are almost at their minimum.

The price he needed to pay was only some money, which he could easily earn. As for the family, Lin Qianshu had already figured out how to deal with them.

Moreover, the Sakurajima Mai Scholarship could also be used for Kawasaki Saki. After all, it's a resource he obtained from his family at great expense, so it can't be wasted. It should be used to the maximum extent possible to be worthy of his efforts.

Since we've already acquired the resources, we might as well take more at once.

In addition to this donation to Fengyuan High School, Lin Qianshu also plans to acquire Mai's mother's management company and get involved in Mai's subsequent comeback plans.

In this way, he could earn money, deepen his connection with Mai, and build a good relationship with his mother-in-law in advance—a triple win.

win!

Just as Lin Qianshu was happily counting his spoils, a petite but strikingly beautiful girl with glasses stood bewildered at the cafeteria window.

She was told that today's student lunches were sold out and that she could try the vending machines if needed.

But the problem is... she came from a vending machine!

Chapter 89: The Episode Showing the Greatest Motherly Love and Filial Piety (3K)

Rio Futaba, a second-year student at Minebara High School, has not made any friends so far due to her introverted and taciturn personality.

Of course, she was already used to it. In her spare time, she would spend alone in the school's laboratory playing with experimental equipment or reading some advanced science books. In addition, she was also the head of the school's science department, although she was the only person in the department.

At the same time, her family is quite well-off, but because her parents are busy with work, her daily life is basically the same as living alone.

Aside from her exaggerated figure, she can be described as a science-oriented version of Yukino Yukinoshita.

At this moment, Rio Futaba is facing an epic dilemma—what to eat for lunch.

Her dilemma wasn't about having a choice, but rather that she had no choice at all, because there was nothing to eat.

Because we arrived late, the food prepared by the cafeteria for today was already sold out. To make matters worse, the bread in the vending machine was also sold out, even though there is usually plenty left over!

Although Futaba knew very well that if she asked the cafeteria lady to get her a teacher's meal at this time, the lady would most likely not refuse, she still didn't do so because of her personality.

Just as Futaba lowered her head, intending to go back to the lab to make a cup of coffee for lunch, a teacher's meal card appeared in front of her.

"Take it and brush it."

Upon hearing this, Shuangye looked up in surprise, clearly not expecting anyone to offer her help.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Futaba, who was not good with words, moved her lips twice, wanting to refuse, but unable to say it.

Seeing this, Lin Qianshu simply used his meal card to buy Shuangye a bowl of ramen. Since it wasn't his meal card, he figured he might as well use it.

Seeing that the die was cast, Futaba finally swallowed back her long-hesitated refusal and whispered, "Thank you, teacher."

Although the other person looked young and seemed to be her age, they weren't wearing the Minegahara High School uniform and were holding a teacher's meal card, so Futaba deduced that the other person was probably a new teacher at the school, and therefore saying "thank you, teacher" shouldn't be a problem.

"I'm not a teacher," Lin Qianshu said with a smile, waving his hand.

"Huh?" Rio Futaba was stunned.

Then Lin Qianshu explained, "My name is Lin Qianshu. I'm a high school student like you, but not from Fengyuan High School. I'm from Soubu High School. I'm here to take care of something."

"I-I'm sorry, my name is Rio Futaba, I'm a second-year student. Anyway, thank you for today. Here, I'll give you the money..." Rio Futaba reacted quickly, hurriedly introducing herself and thanking him, while taking out her wallet to pay Lin Qianshu.

Ultimately, Rio Futaba is just introverted and quiet, not good at expressing herself. She is capable of normal communication.

"You're welcome, but no need for money. Anyway, the meal card isn't mine. That's all, I'll be going now." Lin Qianshu stopped Shuangye from taking out money and didn't give her a chance to be polite again, walking straight out of the cafeteria.

Shuangye stared blankly at Lin Qianshu's departing figure until the cafeteria lady behind her called her back before she came to her senses.

For Lin Qianshu, helping Futaba Rio was just a minor incident, without any particular purpose. There was no wish or request from her, so helping her was just a side thing.

But for Rio Futaba, who had been alone for a long time, this seemed somewhat unusual...

Lin Qianshu arrived at the administration building and found Mai eating bread while looking at the upcoming schedule.

Upon noticing Lin Qianshu's arrival, Mai quickly finished her bread in two or three bites, put down her schedule, and said reproachfully:

"You're being far too reckless."

"Just tell me if it works or not," Lin Qianshu said dismissively.

Mai stared at Lin Qianshu for a while, then turned her head and muttered, "How am I supposed to repay you if you call me like this?"

Lin Qianshu, with his keen ears, immediately remarked, "That's so simple! You should learn more from the wisdom of the ancients."

"The wisdom of the ancients?"

Lin Qianshu coughed and, in a convincingly high-pitched voice, said, "This humble woman has nothing to repay you with but my own body..."

"Isn't there always the option of being reborn as an ox or horse in the next life, repaying debts with kindness?"

"Sorry, we don't accept credit here."

After a few jokes, Lin Qianshu asked Sakurajima Mai for her mother's contact information.

"What do you need this for?" Mai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Build a good relationship with the aunt in advance and get on the upper echelons."

"I'm serious."

"I want to acquire Auntie's company, then sign you to make money for me. If possible, it would be even better if I could take the opportunity to sexually harass you."

"Have too much money to burn?"

"You can't say that. I think Mai has a very high commercial value."

Lin Qianshu said that Mai didn't need to be so self-deprecating.

"Why not register a brokerage firm?" Mai Sakurajima asked seriously.

She wasn't opposed to signing a contract with Lin Qianshu; in fact, she would be very willing to do so if it could help him recover some of his losses.

After all, Lin Qianshu spent so much money on her and helped her solve her big troubles, so it was only right for her to sign a contract with him in return.

In fact, Mai Sakurajima has decided to give all the money she has earned from acting over the years to Chiki Hayashi. Although it may not be enough, she still wants to show her attitude.

When Mai makes her comeback, she will use a portion of her income to compensate Lin Qianshu for his losses until the money is fully repaid.

This doesn't mean that Mai wants to sever ties with Lin Qianshu, but rather that Mai doesn't want her relationship with Lin Qianshu to be tainted by money, nor does she want Lin Qianshu's family to think that she's only with him for money.

After all, according to Mai's understanding, the money donated to the school and the money for subsequent activities were all from Lin Qianshu's family, not Lin Qianshu's own money.

Although it's unclear what kind of behemoth Lin Qianshu's family is, it's conceivable that Lin Qianshu must have been under considerable pressure to get such a large sum of money from her family. Mai couldn't simply ignore this and take everything Lin Qianshu provided for granted.

“That would be too slow and troublesome, and the total cost might not even be as cost-effective as directly investing in your mother’s brokerage firm,” Lin Qianshu explained.

This was not a decision he made on a whim. Now that Mai's mother's agency was no longer valued as much as before due to Mai's departure, it wouldn't cost him much money.

Moreover, Mai's mother's agency has been operating for so long that its business model is quite mature. In addition, Mai was previously signed with this company, so they are quite familiar with each other. The fact that it saves a lot of time costs alone is enough for Lin Qianshu to choose to acquire it rather than start his own business.

Not to mention that if he invests now, the difference between the investment and Mai's announcement of resuming her entertainment activities will be enough for him to make a fortune.

As for whether the junior high school incident will repeat itself, Lin Qianshu believes there is absolutely no need to worry.

First of all, Mai is an adult and has the ability to make her own decisions.

Secondly, Mai's mother wasn't stupid either. After that incident, the other party must have known what they should and shouldn't do.

Finally, as long as Lin Qianshu can maintain control of the agency's discourse, no one can force Mai to do anything beyond his authority.

Moreover, doing this could ease the tension between the mother and daughter. Although Mai didn't say it, Lin Qianshu could tell that Mai actually cared a lot about her mother.

However, it all depends on Mai's wishes. If Mai really doesn't want her mother to be her manager again, Lin Qianshu will ask Uncle Li to help find a reliable manager.

After listening to Lin Qianshu's words, Mai pondered for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Take me with you then."

"Would you like to come along?"

"Even if we really want to acquire that person's company shares, I believe that by offering 'Sakurajima Mai's' comeback as a condition, we should be able to negotiate a more favorable deal."

Mai Sakurajima made no attempt to hide her bias, even using herself as a bargaining chip in order to allow Chishu Lin to acquire shares in her mother's company at a lower cost.

It can be described as a loving mother and a filial daughter.

"This..." Lin Qianshu felt that if he really did this, Mai's mother would probably want to kill him.

Mai seemed to sense Lin Qianshu's concerns and said seriously, "You don't need to consider that person's opinion. Only I can decide what the future holds."

The implication is that my mom has no say in my relationship with you.

Emmm...

What else could Lin Qianshu do? She could only accept it.

“I also have some savings here, although it may not be enough, but you can use it to acquire that person’s company,” Mai added.

"That won't be necessary. I've already prepared the money," Lin Qianshu refused.

"That's your family's money, isn't it?" Mai frowned.

"I'll find a way to solve this later. We've already secured the resources, so we should use as much as we can. You should keep your money."

Seeing Lin Qianshu's resolute attitude, Mai did not press the matter further. In any case, she did not intend to touch the money, and she would give it to Lin Qianshu if he needed it later.

It must be said that Mai is indeed a rare good girl, although whether she is a good daughter in her mother's eyes is debatable.

With Mai's matter settled, Lin Qianshu now had to wait for the settlement to arrive and figure out how to explain the expense to her great-grandfather.

After this battle, he finally knew who his supporter in the family was. It was none other than his grandfather's older brother, Lin Guodong, who was also the actual controller of Lin's International.

It was precisely because the other party was his uncle that Lin Qianshu was troubled about how to explain this matter to him.

After all, Grandpa Lin had no idea that Lin Qianshu had a system. From the other party's perspective, his actions were no different from those playboys who spent lavishly to woo female celebrities.

If he wants to use the family's power again in the future, he must give an explanation for this matter.

As for how to explain it, Lin Qianshu already had a plan in mind...

Chapter 90 Heh heh, you actually dare to challenge me?

The next day, Lin Qianshu returned to his loyal Zongwu High School.

Even though only two days have passed, it feels like a lifetime has gone by.

The matter concerning Mai has temporarily come to an end. Both the entrusted settlement and the subsequent comeback plan need time to develop.

Ultimately, the donation to Minegahara High School was just a small amount of money. The real big expense was the subsequent acquisition of Mai's mother's agency. After all, buying a company is not like buying a handbag; there are many procedures involved, and even with a professional team, it cannot be done overnight.

"What should I get at the cafeteria later?" Lin Qianshu pondered the epic dilemma of what to eat for lunch, but also vaguely felt as if she had forgotten something.

"Classmate Lin."

A voice awakened Lin Qianshu's memories.

The gentle and charming Totsuka Ayaka walked gracefully to Lin Qianshu's table, followed by a dead-eyed bodyguard.

"Oh, Totsuka." Lin Qianshu remembered that she had promised to give him special training.

"You didn't come to school yesterday, did something happen?" Totsuka asked with concern.

"I just went to the hospital for a follow-up check on my leg," Lin Qianshu said without even thinking.

"Are you... alright?" Hachiman couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"The recovery is going very well, with no lasting effects whatsoever."

As he spoke, Lin Qianshu stomped his right leg.

"Hey? Wait, you broke your left leg, didn't you?"

"It's all the same~"

"How can these be the same?!"

After giving a thorough rant, Hikigaya didn't pay any more attention to Lin Qianshu's leave yesterday. Instead, he talked about the training arrangements during the lunch break later.

Although it's called "devil training," it's really just simple swing practice and technique explanations on the tennis court. After all, it's not advisable to do strenuous exercise after a meal, and it wouldn't be worth it to hurt your body. Only when the lunch break is almost over and the food has been digested will there be one or two matches to test what has been learned.

Incidentally, the instructor for the skills demonstration is Yukino Yukinoshita, a school goddess who is perfect in every skill except physical ability. Her understanding of tennis is almost at the top amateur level.
