Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Street lights came on one after another across the city.

The colorful neon lights complement each other, outlining the charming outline of the city at night, as if thousands of diamonds are inlaid on the canvas of the night.

Kato Megumi walked to the right of Kitahara Takashi and asked the boy this question.

Obviously, both Yamon Mai and Yatani Kinu were not wrong and were suitable for each other, but they still broke up. Why?

"If an encounter is too idealistic, conflicts will inevitably arise when returning to life." Beiyuan Zun pondered for a moment and slowly gave his own opinion.

"The two of them came together because of the same interests and hobbies. It seemed very beautiful, like they had found a soulmate. Everything was in sync, so much so that it was like looking in the mirror and seeing another self."

"When you meet someone who is similar to you in many ways, you will feel a sense of belonging and feel that everything about you is recognized, so they fall in love."

"But precisely because of this, when the self in the mirror begins to change and no longer resembles oneself, the joy and sense of belonging begin to fade, and disgust follows."

"People with similar personalities are more suitable to be friends, and complementary personalities can only last long."

"Love is like a bouquet of flowers. It may seem beautiful, but it doesn't last long."

"The cruelest thing about this kind of love is that it reaches its peak from the moment you first meet. The impatience to be with the other person and the expectations for the future have all been pre-empted from the beginning of the relationship. From now on, it's all downhill."

Kato Megumi nodded from time to time, and looked thoughtful from time to time.

"Kitahara-kun, if you were the male lead in the movie, would you still win back the female lead?"

This time, Kitahara Takashi didn't think twice and said without hesitation: "No."

"Kitahara-kun, don't you think about it? The girl opposite you is your girlfriend of five years?" Kato Megumi looked at the boy's profile under the mottled light.

"Gamblers always think they can come back before they lose all their chips. I like to cut my losses in time."

The two of them walked and talked, and unknowingly walked to the underground parking garage.

Next to the black Audi, Kato Kei saw Kitahara Takashi and Kato Megumi approaching and waved to them: "Takashi, Kato Megumi! Over here!"

"Keiichi-nii."

"Kato-senpai."

Kato Kei clasped his hands together and said, "Sorry, Xiaohui! My phone was broken and I just got it fixed."

Kato Megumi stared at her cousin calmly without saying a word.

Does she look like a fool?

Even the excuses are so perfunctory.

Guilty, Kato Keiichi avoided his cousin's gaze, turned his head and punched Kitahara Takashi lightly on the chest: "You kid didn't bully my sister, did you?"

Kitahara Takashi thought for a moment and asked, "Is it considered bullying if I trick her into eating ice cream with a lot of matcha powder?"

"Wait, you guys aren't going to eat at that ice cream shop that has all five-star reviews, are you?" Kato Kei said with a strange look on his face.

"Senior, do you know?"

Kato Keiichi covered his face with one hand.

"Guess why he sprinkled so much matcha powder? Just to make you choke."

That matcha ice cream shop, the first time I went there, they always had powdered ice cream.

"A variety show even interviewed this restaurant and even invited passersby to eat there. Everyone who ate there was raving about it. You guys know that, right?"

Kitahara Takashi: “…”

Kato Megumi: “…”

[This order has been completed and the reward is being settled.]

[Players receive: 10000 points, Pintus training plan, and % off coupon.]

【Number of dates: Kato Megumi: once】

When I got home, the system reward had just arrived.

Kitahara Takashi didn't look at the reward, but fell headfirst onto the sofa.

tired.

"Wang Wang!"

As soon as I lay down on the sofa, Xiao Ha pounced on me, wagging its tail and looking extremely flattering on its face.

"Hello, Xiaoha. I'll buy you some snacks tomorrow."

Kitahara Tsutomu rubbed its dog face.

In order to get what he wanted, Xiao Ha turned ruthless and immediately jumped off Beiyuan Zun.

How can a sweaty and smelly poop scooper be worthy of a fragrant poop scooper?

"damn thing."

If he wasn't so tired, Kitahara Tsutomu really wanted to go and beat the dog with a clothesline.

Lying on the sofa, Kitahara Takashi opened his mobile phone and checked today's schedule one by one.

Spending Saturday morning with Yotsuba Nakano:

Accompanying Shijo Maki at noon: √

In the evening, I will accompany Kasumigaoka Utaha (crossed out) and Kato Megumi: √

After comparing them one by one, Kitahara Tsutomu thought about it and felt that there should be nothing wrong. He lay down for a while before picking up his clothes and going to take a shower.

After taking a shower in less than ten minutes, Kitahara Takashi lay on the bed and looked at his reward for the day.

Including the 10,000 points this time, he already has a total of 25,000 points.

Open the system store.

[Money: 100 yen/1 point]

[Intelligence: 1 point/10 points]

[Charm: 1 point/10 points]

[Stamina: 1 point/10 points]

Skill: [Beginner Photo Editing - 100 points]

[Skilled Cooking - 1000 Points]

【Proficient in Writing——1 points】

[Master Fishing - 10 Points]

[God Level: Meditation Battle - 100 million points]

Passive: [Sword Expertise - 10000 Points]

(Refresh time: 10 hours, 21 minutes, 43 seconds)

Kitahara Tsutomu took a quick look at what he could currently redeem.

[Beginner's Guide to Photo Editing], he can't use it.

I don't plan to be a photographer.

[Skilled Cooking] sounds good, but he feels that his current cooking skills are more than enough.

Of course, he will consider it when the system refreshes [God-level cuisine].

【Mastering Writing】, Kitahara Takashi would rather starve to death, jump off the Tokyo Tower, and be a body double for the rest of his life than write a novel and live a life of being urged to submit manuscripts by editors every day!!!

[Master Fishing], I can’t afford to change it, and I won’t change it even if I can.

What's the point of fishing like that?

Besides, what kind of fisherman always comes up empty-handed?

[God Level: Meditation Battle], he was quite interested in this, but he was poor.

Well, the only thing that can be exchanged now is [Sword Specialization].

Kitahara Takashi rubbed his chin: "Hmm... Come to think of it, I haven't joined the club yet."

Aoba does have a kendo club, but has never won any awards worth mentioning.

It's not just the kendo club, the sports club's performance is not very good.

The only thing worth bragging about is the baseball club.

Although it has never won a championship trophy, it has made it to Koshien every year and is considered a strong baseball school.

"Just exchange this."

The conditions in the country did not allow it before, but now he also wants to experience high school life.

It is definitely not the case that if you achieve good results in club activities, you will be eligible for university recommendation.

58. She sleeps next to me (vote request)

"What happened? Did you buy a fake?"

After exchanging for [Sword Expertise], Kitahara Tsutomu did not feel any enlightenment.

His mind was still empty, without any additional knowledge of swordsmanship.

Kitahara Takashi’s first thought was that the dog system was cheating him of his worker points!

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because he saw the word "passive" in front of [Swordsmanship Expertise].

Indicates that the trigger condition must be met before it can be triggered.

As for the triggering conditions, he doesn't know yet.

But he trusts the products produced by Brother Tongzi. (System: You didn't just call me Brother Tongzi)

After closing the system panel, Kitahara Takashi called up the [Pintus Training Plan] (Version 1.0).

A few thin sheets of paper appeared out of thin air, and the cover was a big bald head with the text below: "When two meet on a narrow road, the one who can run faster wins!" - Antonio Pintus.

Seeing this familiar bald man, Kitahara Tsutomu felt something was wrong.

Turn to the first page.

"It seems like he wants to kill us every day!" -Karim Benzema

After confirming his guess, Kitahara Takashi decisively threw the training plan aside.

Not interesting.

He works out to attract the opposite sex, not to see her breasts.

Even professional athletes complain about this training plan. How can you let a sixteen-year-old boy follow this?

If you want to kill him, just say so.

Feeling bored, Kitahara Takashi stood up from the bathtub, wiped the water stains on his body casually, put on a pair of flowered shorts and walked out.

Passing by the life-size mirror in the living room, Kitahara Takashi took a look at the boy in the mirror.

Needless to say, his appearance is at the level of a Tokyo handsome guy.

He mainly looks at his own figure.

The frame is relatively large, the shoulders are broad and the hips are narrow, and the muscles of the limbs are clearly defined.

He usually goes to the gym only for three days and then takes a break for two days. He mostly does push-ups at home and pull-ups on the horizontal bar at school. His chest muscles have been developed, and they are not only much more beautiful than those of ordinary people, but also bigger than Yukinoshita Yukino's.

If he trained according to the Pintus plan, then... Kitahara Takashi would replace Ronaldo's head with his own in his mind.

Kitahara Takashi turned around and walked quickly back to the bathroom to pick up the training plan.

Fortunately, it was just a little wet.

Lying on the bed, Kitahara Tsutomu flipped through the book and found that the training intensity was not as great as he had imagined. It seemed to be specially prepared for ordinary people like him.

No wonder it's version 1.0.
