Chapter 62: Chapter 62
Time Passes Quickly
Thus, three days passed.
During these three days, Lin Yi worked hard every day to open boxes, but he didn't get anything good; all he obtained were useless items: indestructible food bowls, salt that made food tastier, wine glasses that made the wine look redder.
This surprised Lin Yi greatly. Although the things he had pulled out before weren't that great, at least they were acceptable and somewhat useful.
But in these last three days, everything he had pulled out was stuff that could be considered trash.
Most importantly, he was doing this near the two lucky sisters.
Despite this, he still couldn't get anything good.
This made Lin Yi start to sense that there was a problem.
The things the system gave Lin Yi were never random.
During this time, Lin Yi had begun to discern a pattern.
When he opened boxes near Sonoko, it was very common to obtain items related to money, probably due to her status as a wealthy heiress.
When he was near Ran, he tended to pull out things related to fighting, like combat skills.
Furthermore, when Lin Yi complained about his poverty to the system, the box would often open and give him money.
When he thought that a fat woman might push him against the wall, the box opened with a set of training tools and the Bully Suit.
This suggested that the system might have some intelligence, capable of understanding what he said but unable to communicate with him.
It could be that it wasn't interested in doing so, or that it was simply lazy to communicate, or perhaps it was just somewhat arrogant.
In short, he was now always pulling some trash out of the box.
Probably, the system was indirectly telling him, "Go look for someone to dazzle, you're not a jerk. If you don't, no matter how lucky you are, you won't get good things."
Thinking about this, Lin Yi felt he couldn't keep waiting for a [Memory Bread] to come out of the chest; he needed to experience some events.
That afternoon, Ran didn't have any activities at the club, while Sonoko was going to participate in a tennis club activity, which made their schedules match perfectly.
So Lin Yi invited Ran to go shopping.
Ran, in the pure love stage, of course, naturally didn't reject him.
They would go after class that afternoon.
"Then, I'm off to my club activity... Bye~~"
Sonoko waved to Ran and Lin Yi before leaving the classroom.
However, after leaving the classroom, Sonoko stopped and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She turned around and saw Lin Yi and Ran chatting animatedly.
Although their conversation seemed normal and nothing strange could be found in the content,
It was the sixth sense of a girl telling Sonoko that something was off between them.
It wasn't a new sensation but something she had started feeling since Monday, and it had been growing each day.
Today, this feeling had become even stronger.
She wasn't sure why.
It could be because Ran was smiling happily while talking to Lin Yi or because they occasionally gazed at each other.
In short, Sonoko felt that she should find a moment to seriously talk to Ran.
————————————
It turns out there's a famous crepe shop near the World Treasures Exhibition.
Lin Yi, of course, took Ran there in the name of good food.
"Two popular crepes, please. Thank you."
Upon leaving the shop, Lin Yi and Ran each had a delicious crepe in hand and sat on a nearby bench to enjoy it slowly.
The crepe was crispy on the outside and filled with cream, fruits, jam, and white bear marshmallows.
One bite in, and it was sweet and crunchy; unlike the McFlurry, it didn't become cloying but left you wanting more.
Lin Yi had stumbled upon this shop by chance but didn't expect it to be so delicious.
So he got up to take Ran to buy more.
Ran, in a serious tone, warned him, "Don't eat too many sweets; they'll hurt your teeth. Besides, we still have to have dinner later."
Lin Yi looked at her and quietly leaned in, then told the employee, "Please, one popular crepe."
"Two," Ran added.
"I can't eat two," Lin Yi said, pulling out the money for one crepe. "One is fine."
Ran didn't insist anymore and just quietly pinched Lin Yi's waist.
Ah... that hurts…
Even though it hurt, Lin Yi endured it without showing it and in response placed a hand on Ran's rear.
Ran quickly reacted, pulling Lin Yi's hand away and looking at him reproachfully: "Pervert!"
Lin Yi leaned toward Ran's ear and whispered, "When we get back to my house, I can be even more... (perverted)..."
Ran immediately blushed and gave him a few light taps on the shoulder: "How annoying! Don't talk about those things here... Besides, when did I say I would go to your house?"
Lin Yi laughed cheerfully just as the employee handed him the prepared crepe.
He took the crepe and held Ran's hand as they headed toward the World Treasures Exhibition.
After taking a small bite happily, Lin Yi noticed that Ran clearly showed a desire to eat.
Do you want to try?
Lin Yi waved the crepe in front of her.
"I don't want to."
Ran frowned and turned her head away.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered something about his last experience with the boxes...
Taking advantage of the fact that Ran wasn't paying attention, Lin Yi sprinkled a bit of that salt that makes food tastier on the crepe.
Inexplicably, Lin Yi felt that the crepe seemed much more delicious, as if he had added hot sauce to the batter; to ensure that it was delicious before eating it.
Lin Yi took a small bite. The combination of sweet and salty was truly delicious.
"Alright, I was wrong."
Lin Yi smiled and apologized, placing the crepe in front of Ran, saying, "This seafood-flavored crepe is super delicious; come and try it."
Ran looked at it and felt that, inexplicably, it seemed different from other crepes; just by looking at it, it already looked very appetizing.
This made the food lover find it irresistible. Ran opened her mouth to try it, but suddenly the crepe was pulled back.
