NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 87: Chapter 87
"Don't think about having thoughts of murder for money again; that's wrong... use this money to start a new life."
Susumu Minagawa stared dazedly at Lin Yi's back as he put on his coat, then covered her face with the blanket and began to cry inconsolably.
She thought he was just taking advantage of the situation, but she didn't expect him to help her in this way.
"Thank you... it turns out you're a good person."
Being described as a "good person."
This made Lin Yi feel like he was playing the role of a villain while trying to be a hero, feeling a bit guilty as he left the room.
Just after Lin Yi exited the hotel, a notification from the system arrived immediately.
"[Ding! You have successfully conquered Susumu Minagawa (Aunt Minagawa); you have obtained a box of gold]."
Lin Yi was stunned at once!
What was happening?
He hadn't done anything, right?
He just wanted to experiment a little with a married woman, and to prevent her from getting attached to him, he gave her some money. That way, they could go their separate ways without owing each other anything.
And now he had inexplicably conquered Susumu Minagawa?
Lin Yi couldn't understand it and asked the system, "What's going on here? Aren't you going to explain it to me?"
"[Ding! The host has managed to enter the target's heart, which counts as a successful conquest]."
"That's nothing more than a hollow answer."
Lin Yi was very frustrated, but that seemingly useless response reminded him of something.
Of course, Susumu Minagawa had said before leaving that he was a good person...
Obviously, he had something to threaten her with, and he ended up giving her money.
This led to a great misunderstanding on Susumu Minagawa's part, thinking that he was helping her by having a sexual transaction with her, allowing her to accept the money with a clear conscience.
Although this reasoning seemed a bit incredible, it was the most plausible explanation.
Do adults really get carried away by feelings so easily now?
"So, what about Ran and Sonoko? Why was I only notified of the conquest after sleeping with them?"
Lin Yi frowned as he thought. He wasn't a stupid person and quickly reached a conclusion.
"Of course... Ran and Sonoko are high school students and have never had a relationship, so they unconsciously linked love with sex."
"But Susumu Minagawa is different... she is a married woman, and society has corrupted her for a long time, so she naturally separates love from sex."
Love ultimately manifests in sex.
But sex can exist independently of love.
This also explains the behavior of modern people having casual relationships.
"I see..."
After understanding this, Lin Yi nodded repeatedly. Now he knew he couldn't focus solely on sex; if he only focused on sex, he might fall into the trap of "only getting someone's body but not their heart."
Once this problem was resolved, the next one emerged.
"To conquer Sonoko and Ran, I prepared many plans, and it took me a long time to succeed... but why did it only take a casual relationship with Susumu Minagawa?"
As soon as this question arose, Lin Yi found the answer in his mind, smacking his forehead.
"What an idiot I am... How can Sonoko and Ran be like Susumu Minagawa? One is the protagonist, and the other is a very important supporting character. Conquering them must have been difficult, right? Otherwise, why would they be the protagonist and an important supporting character?"
"Susumu Minagawa is just a minor character... the difficulty can't be as high as with those two!"
Understanding this, Lin Yi felt much more relieved. Now he knew what he had to do going forward.
Looking at the shiny box of gold in the system space, Lin Yi, who had always had a weakness for shiny objects, wanted to open it immediately to see what it contained.
But knowing he had bad luck, Lin Yi could only contain his impulse to open the box.
With the two boxes obtained today, Lin Yi had accumulated eight common boxes and one gold box.
A total of nine boxes!
Today, he was back on the path of being a bastard. He was sure the system wouldn't punish him with bad luck.
It had been a long time since he had opened boxes, and Lin Yi felt anxious in his hands. He quickly took out his phone and asked Ran where she was.
Upon learning that Ran was at home, Lin Yi immediately called a taxi to head to the Mouri Detective Agency.
During the trip to the Mouri Detective Agency, Lin Yi thought it wouldn't be appropriate to arrive empty-handed, so he asked the driver to take a detour to the nearest supermarket.
Everyone knew that Kogoro Mouri was a hard-core alcoholic.
Lin Yi planned to follow his tastes and buy a good wine to bring to his father-in-law.
But there was a problem: Lin Yi was only seventeen years old and, according to the law, couldn't buy alcohol.
For young people, it wasn't a problem, as for an extra payment, they would turn a blind eye and not acknowledge that Lin Yi bought alcohol in their store.
The problem was Kogoro Mouri's attitude.
If it were just Ran, Lin Yi wouldn't worry about Kogoro Mouri's opinion. After all, he had almost conquered Ran already.
Lin Yi's true target was Eri Kisaki.
He had to leave a good impression on this beautiful mother-in-law through Kogoro Mouri's words.
Well, it was better to play it safe and buy some fruits.
After making the decision, Lin Yi headed to the fruit store.
Fruits in Japan are expensive; this was something Lin Yi had heard before, but he still had no idea how expensive they really were.
It wasn't until he came here today that he realized how ridiculous the prices of fruits in Japan were!
A bunch of dull-colored green grapes cost 2160 yen! That's 129 yuan!
Can't they stop robbing? For 129 yuan, you can buy ten bunches of green grapes of this quality in China!
A normal apple costs 10 yuan each!
Fuji apples cost 100 yuan each!
A normal melon costs 94 yuan!
And a branded melon can cost up to 1700 yuan each.
If I calculate the price of the fruits I ate in my past life according to Japanese prices, I definitely was rich in my previous life.
"No wonder nobody ever seems to eat a whole watermelon in summer in Japanese dramas..."
Lin Yi murmured and then called over a sales assistant, directly asking for two melons costing 1700 yuan each, which amounts to 58,000 yen.
The assistant skillfully wrapped the two melons and placed them in a gift bag.
