Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Yes President



Here's the translation of the provided Chinese text into English:

---

**"Yukinoshita-san, here's your drink. Just to clarify, Ms. Hiratsuka bought it, so if it doesn't suit your taste, please don't blame me."**

"I know."

The girl sat upright in her chair, reading a book with the sunlight illuminating the dust particles in the air as her backdrop. It was like a painting frozen in time...

Li Mo placed the drink next to Yukinoshita and then sat down in his designated seat. He picked up the club application form and began filling in the blanks. With a few quick strokes of his pen, he completed the form and handed it to Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita took the application form and tucked it into the book she was reading. The entire exchange was silent, with only the sound of paper moving across the table breaking the quiet.

He had now officially joined her "mysterious" club.

"Yukinoshita-san, I've joined the club. Can you tell me what this club is about? It can't just be a retirement club, right?"

The time traveler, feigning ignorance, asked with a hint of curiosity. In reality, who didn't know that this club was called the "Service Club"? From the name alone, it sounded rather dubious.

Yukinoshita Yukino closed the book on her lap, her displeasure evident. She seemed to see through Li Mo's intentions, knowing that he was only talking to her out of boredom. Finally, she sighed and said, "...Then, let's play a game."

"Sure," Li Mo clasped his hands together. He didn't really care about the question itself; he was more interested in interacting with Yukinoshita.

"Li-kun, the game is simple: I ask, and you answer. So, what do you think this club does?"

It was a straightforward Q&A game. Yukinoshita had repackaged Li Mo's own question into a game and thrown it back at him. Faced with this, Li Mo... had no resistance.

Besides, he already knew the answer.

Yukinoshita's gaze was fixed on him, sharp as a blade. It felt like a dark duel was underway, where the loser would have to surrender their soul.

The pressure was intense.

Li Mo's brain slowed down a notch. It was like taking an exam while the teacher stood over your shoulder, watching you solve the problems—completely different from doing it alone.

But since he knew the answer, he remained calm.

"Is it a 'Helping Others Club'?" Li Mo deliberately said. The "Service Club" was essentially about solving people's problems, similar to a jack-of-all-trades organization. The only difference was that this club was free. Describing it as a "Helping Others Club" was fitting.

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to realize something and frowned. "Did Ms. Hiratsuka tell you?"

"Nope. Ms. Hiratsuka and I never discussed the club's activities."

*It's just that I saw it in my past life.*

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head slightly, staring at Li Mo, and then said with certainty, "So you already knew about this club, Li-kun. I'm starting to dislike you. I don't like dishonest people."

This girl's intuition was too sharp. Or was it that his acting wasn't convincing enough?

Probably the latter.

After organizing his thoughts, Li Mo spoke up, "I have two explanations. Which one would you like to hear, Yukinoshita-san?"

"Please proceed with your explanation," Yukinoshita said. "I'll consider forgiving you based on what you say."

"The first one is that I learned about it in a dream. In that dream, I saw Yukinoshita-san helping classmates with their problems."

Yukinoshita first showed displeasure, then sighed, speaking in a tone one might use to humor a child. "And the second one?"

Her tone was as if she were talking to a three-year-old.

"Simple, bold deduction. Yukinoshita-san, in your conversation with Ms. Hiratsuka, you mentioned the word 'request.' I thought about it. You help her with tasks in exchange for her support of your club activities. But then I realized that wasn't quite right. If that were the case, Ms. Hiratsuka should have used a commanding tone, not a negotiating one."

"In games, 'requests' are tied to quests. Players complete quests for rewards. So, what reward does Yukinoshita-san get for completing requests? Money? This morning, I saw you arriving by car, so you're not lacking in material comforts. That leaves spiritual satisfaction. You gain fulfillment from completing requests. That's why Ms. Hiratsuka became hands-off after you agreed."

"Because she knew you would complete the task for the sake of satisfaction. From this, I pieced together most of it. I didn't expect someone as aloof as Yukinoshita-san to have such a kind heart."

Understanding the problem and deducing the answer and process was difficult. But if you already had the answer, deducing the process was much easier—like answering a literature test: as long as it made sense, it was fine.

The key was not to make the mistake of writing "it makes sense" as the answer.

"So, Yukinoshita-san, what's your answer?" Li Mo asked.

Yukinoshita Yukino replied calmly, "The rich, out of compassion, give their abundance to the poor, and people see them as benefactors. Reaching out to those in need is the activity of this club."

"Li-kun, as you said, I established this club to help others. Someone like me should provide assistance to others. And the club's name is not the 'Helping Others Club.'"

"The name is the 'Service Club.'"

Classic scene, *check*.

Her tone carried a faint pride and full confidence. This was Yukinoshita Yukino!

The unattainable flower, indeed.

Li Mo said, "Yukinoshita-san, can I take a photo of you?"

"No. I believe you would use my photo for inappropriate purposes. Secondly, if you secretly take a photo, I will call the police." Yukinoshita Yukino promptly took out her phone.

Li Mo replied, "Skipping the school and going straight to the police? Don't worry, I won't do anything illegal. But... I feel like your response is a bit of a weakness."

"I simply recognize the maliciousness of your character. Words alone cannot change you. Only the weapon of the law can make you fear."

"Don't make me sound like some criminal in the making. I'm just... a little thick-skinned," Li Mo gestured with his fingers to indicate a tiny amount.

"I don't think being thick-skinned is something to boast about," Yukinoshita Yukino retorted sharply, as if in a debate, turning her words into a blade.

Li Mo remained unfazed. He said, "I think it's something to be proud of."

"So, you turn all external criticism into self-motivation? I shouldn't pity you."

"Yukinoshita-san, as long as you're happy," Li Mo became a rolling stone, unfazed by her words.

Yukinoshita Yukino said, "I underestimated your shamelessness."

"Then, dear club president, do you accept my explanation? Have you forgiven me?"

"Your explanation is a bit far-fetched. But considering your unconventional thinking, I'll forgive you," Yukinoshita Yukino said.

The bell rang at that moment. Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the time and said, "Lunch break is over. We should return to class."

"Thank you, esteemed Yukinoshita-sama, for taking the time to chat with humble me."

His words were humble, but the smile on Li Mo's face made the statement feel awkward.

Yukinoshita Yukino said, "I don't see any respect in your attitude."

"Time will prove everything."

"Is that so? This afternoon, you'll come to the club. We have club activities."

"Yes, President."

Joining the Service Club came with responsibilities. Li Mo was aware of that.

...

In reality, after school that afternoon, the so-called club activity turned out to be supplementary lessons. Yukinoshita's tutoring was noticeably stricter, and the material became more advanced. Li Mo felt like saying, "Why should I care about Japanese history?"

This was probably the consequence of teasing Yukinoshita during lunch.

"Tomorrow, we'll continue."

After leaving school, Li Mo walked alone on the streets. He had left school with Yukinoshita, but she had boarded a black car at the school gate.

"Anyway, keep it up, Li Mo."

Even with his cheat abilities, Li Mo's focus remained on his daily life. In this peaceful world, how could he level up by fighting monsters?

His priorities were clear.

However, the future is always unpredictable. Li Mo hadn't considered that if he had the ability to level up by fighting monsters, there would also be opportunities to do so.
