"Ouch!" Shirakawa Natsu clutched her chest; her heart was racing whenever she got excited. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
After confirming that he wouldn't die from over-excitement on the first day he received the cheat code.
Shirakawa Natsu carefully observed the UI interface. She first pressed her finger on Hashimoto Arina's body and flipped it upwards, but the character did not move or change its actions with her finger, instantly feeling that half of the fun was gone.
The character's favorability rating is displayed in the upper right corner, showing a favorability score of 76.
Without knowing the total score, it's impossible to determine whether it's considered high or low.
Next to the favorability rating, there is a claim button. Clicking it will display whether you want to claim the favorability rating, and there is a 48-hour cooldown period for claiming.
Each target can only be extracted twice.
There is no option to change the character; that is, you can only import other women after you have completed the romance with the selected character.
Before deciding whether to use Bai Chuanxia's method, consider the effect of degree integration.
The four buttons on the right are for hairstyle, skills, items, and status.
Bai Chuanxia first selected the development version, and the interface changed to a game talent tree format.
The first one is a picture of a cheerful, tousled blonde hairstyle. Clicking on it reveals a note: "A married man is so touched +10".
The image is grayed out; clicking it again will prompt that 20 points of favorability are required to redeem it.
Bai Chuanxia read it carefully again to make sure she hadn't misunderstood; it meant he was a married man, which would increase his attractiveness to men.
Behind the cheerful, tousled golden hair are two branches; exchanging them requires 40 points of favorability.
They are: flowing golden medium-length hair, with the note: "Increases the favorability of married women by +10 on the basis of short hair".
Sloppy medium-length blond hair, with the note: "Increases the success rate of threatening one's husband's wife by 10% compared to short hair."
The talent tree requires you to choose one of two directions to advance, unlike short hair which increases male favorability.
After selecting the middle option, the effect will be directed at the female character, with the results being in opposite directions. Increasing her favorability is understandable.
The latter increases the success rate of threats, which always feels rather subtle.
There's a lock icon next to "Zhongfa Advanced," so you can't see the icon. It seems you need to unlock Zhongfa first before it appears.
Bai Chuanxia has three buttons left: Skills, Items, and Status, with Skills being the one that appears.
The skills are simpler than the hairstyles, with only two: beginner photography and beginner music. It takes 10 favorability points to redeem them, and 30 favorability points to upgrade to intermediate level.
The skills listed later are all grayed out and locked, so they can't be seen.
Compared to hairstyle choices, where one relies on talent and the other on quirky humor, skills are much more normal.
Music is a powerful tool to increase a girl's affection for you.
No girl can resist a boyfriend who takes beautiful photos of her.
The inventory is simpler, with only one item: Stamina Potion, which requires 10 points of favorability to exchange.
Effect: Maintains stamina for 12 hours.
Note: "I can do this all day."
Bai Chuanxia shook his head. Up to this point, he had not found what he truly wanted.
People only realize the importance of health when they are sick.
I took a deep breath and tapped the last status with trembling hands.
It was an outline of a male human body, with lines and dots marking various body parts: heart, kidneys...
Bai Chuanxia's heart, which had been calming down, started beating rapidly again, and he tapped his heart with his trembling fingers.
"Should we upgrade to the Strong Minotaur Heart?"
"Note: This is a powerful and energetic heart that will provide you with endless power in battle."
"Required redemption points: 100 points".
Chapter 3 If I had known earlier, I would have preferred to conquer my brothers.
“This is exactly what I need!” Shirakawa Natsumi stroked the screen with her hand, her eyes fixed on the lines and dots in the status bar that connected various parts of her body.
In his eyes, these were hope, the hope of survival.
Take a deep breath to calm yourself down and start thinking about taking the initiative. Who could resist a beautiful, outgoing, and easy-going woman with big breasts?
Having a physical disability in the past, but now seeing hope, I must move forward, whether for love or for life.
Miyu arrived at the hospital at 3 p.m. with a cigarette dangling from her mouth, but it wasn't lit.
“You seem to be in a good mood today.” Mikoto walked to the bedside with his hands in his pockets, picked up the manuscript on the bedside table and started flipping through it: “Is it another action-packed story? Where do you plan to stop this time?”
“I plan to finish this drawing.” Shirakawa Natsu looked at Miyuki, who was 1.79 meters tall, with medium-length black hair, wearing a brown leather jacket, a T-shirt, dark jeans and riding boots, looking like a model who had just walked out of a fashion show.
Miyuki paused for a moment while flipping through the manuscript, then quickly resumed, saying, "At least this time the editor won't be begging me to continue the serialization. The editorial department's complaint letters have filled an entire conference room, and you've been named the worst manga artist in history."
"But as long as a new story starts, I'll still read it while cursing it." Shirakawa Natsu smiled. He didn't stop updating in the usual sense, but rather he suddenly stopped updating at the most exciting part. That was very uncomfortable, like just when you're about to shudder, it suddenly stops.
“Surprisingly good.” Mikoto pulled out a chair from the side, sat down casually, and flipped through the pages. “I really don’t know how you came up with these ideas.”
"Let's not talk about that today." Shirakawa Natsu indicated that they had something to discuss. After Miyuki put down the manuscript, she said seriously, "I plan to pursue Hashimoto Arina, and I need your help now."
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to make this public, but given his current physical condition, he can't do anything without help.
Mikoto scrutinized him closely, as if she were seeing him for the first time: "Are you serious?"
Shirakawa Natsumi also looked serious: "Do I look like I'm joking? You're very experienced in pursuing women, what advice do you have?"
Miyuki didn't speak, staring at him for a long time: "Does it have to be Hashimoto Arina? If you're craving women, your royalties are enough to choose the type you like."
“This is love, not a trip to the red-light district.” Shirakawa Natsumi pouted. “Hurry up and come up with an effective solution.”
Miyu stared at him and thought for a while: "There is only one possibility. I will pursue her first, and then I will date you. In that case, it is equivalent to you dating her indirectly."
Shirakawa Natsu carefully examined Miyuki. He was handsome, but he usually dressed in a neutral style, so she only thought he was very cool.
Moreover, her chest was quite full, surprisingly well-endowed, at least a C cup.
When Mikoto saw his gaze drift towards her chest, she didn't flinch or look away: "Are you seriously considering the feasibility?"
"Of course not." Shirakawa Natsu just had a feeling that my brother could charge forward without saying a word.
"No matter what, it's impossible." Mikoto's words lacked any of the traditional Eastern customs of reading the room or subtlety.
"Just the identity of doctor and patient is difficult enough, let alone the fact that you are at least six years apart in age."
"Boys at this age often become sexually interested in mature older women. She just happens to be around you at this age and you mistake her for love."
"Men are very loyal; they will always like young and beautiful women."
Shirakawa Natsumi felt dizzy from what she said, just like Miyuki had said, this time she really chose the most difficult target to win over.
If I had just used Mikoto's photo, maybe I could have had some fun for my brother's sake, and maybe even completed the strategy.
"Sigh." Shirakawa Natsu sighed softly. He knew that he had unconsciously typed in Hashimoto Arina's photo because he harbored some secret expectation in his heart.
Seeing his dejected expression, Mi Zhi Shi stopped there, patted her pocket, took out a small card and placed it on the bedside table: "The hospital should be able to provide home service here."
"Get lost, get lost, get lost." Shirakawa Natsu waved her hand. After their conversation, she gained nothing except the feeling that there was absolutely no hope of completing the mission.
Mi Zhi Shi didn't linger. He put the cigarette back in his mouth, picked up the manuscript, and said, "I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."
Shirakawa Natsu watched Miyuki leave, having achieved her goal: to plant a seed in her heart so that she could ask for help whenever she needed it in the future.
Open the app and start researching. Hashimoto Arina's current affection level is 76. If you extract her now, you will get 76 affection points.
Each target can be extracted twice, meaning you must reserve one extraction for when you've maxed out their affection level to avoid wasting it.
During the game, you can make one purchase of items.
76 points is a subtle amount. The initial hairstyle, a refreshing golden mess, is a plus of +10 for being nice to a married man.
At this stage, it's completely useless to him.
Upgrading to flowing golden medium hair would increase Hashimoto Arina's favorability by 10 points, but it would cost 80 points.
Music and photography skills only require 10 points, but he believes that Hashimoto Arina will increase 76's favorability because of his singing or photography skills.
The stamina potions among the items are also very useful, but they are disposable.
He doesn't want to exchange for any items unless absolutely necessary.
Because if you can complete the walkthrough on your own, you can get 100 full points, which is just enough to exchange for a Minotaur Heart.
A healthy heart is something he dreams of having.
My heart palpitates more than ten times a day now, and my heart cramps when I get emotional. If I don't exchange for a heart soon, I risk dying during the game.
He is racing against time.
His inability to leave his hospital bed is a disadvantage, so he needs to find ways to create more opportunities to spend time with Hashimoto Arina.
Then you just have to wait for the opportunity and be patient. In movies and TV shows, the blond-haired characters usually appear when the female lead is feeling down.
He picked up his pen and drawing board again. The works he had drawn, such as "Bleach," "Naruto," and "Saint Seiya," were all classic shonen anime. Although Hashimoto Arina praised them, she was not too keen on following his updates and did not urge him to update again after he stopped updating.
Obviously, those weren't her type.
I need to draw comics that she'll be interested in in order to create more topics of conversation and opportunities for us to meet.
Shirakawa Natsu began to search through her memories, and after comparing and contrasting them, she finally wrote the title of her new work, "The Moonlight is Beautiful," on the drawing board.
This is a story about middle school students falling in love. It's a realistic and heartwarming romance drama that closely reflects the experiences of many people in middle school.
The film delicately portrays the innocent and mutual sacrifices between the male and female protagonists.
He certainly didn't copy the plot exactly; he used it as a reference and made some modifications. The female lead was based on Arina Hashimoto.
Soon, a female protagonist who bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Arina Hashimoto appeared on the page under his pen.
The girl's smile was innocent and radiant, as if she had gathered all the beauty in the world into her smile.
He had already simulated various versions of Arina Hashimoto countless times in his mind; now he was simply bringing a picture he had already drawn in his mind to life.
After Shirakawa Natsu's time travel, her painting skills improved dramatically. It wasn't due to a strange time travel experience; she knew she didn't have much time left, and because of kidney problems, she didn't have the troubles of women.
This allowed him to devote himself entirely to his painting career. Every day of his life could be his last, and this mindset greatly improved his painting skills.
Shirakawa Natsu picked up the manuscript. The girl was beautiful and pure, but there was an inexplicable hint of eroticism about her.
"Sigh." He sighed softly, wiped away the stain on his chest, drew a smaller circle, and when he looked at it again, it had indeed turned into the shape of his first love.
But he felt that Hashimoto Arina had lost her soul.
"I hope she likes it." Shirakawa Natsu took a deep breath, enduring the weakness in her arm, and began to quickly sketch on the drawing.
Like a pianist, with a lighthearted rhythm, the tender feelings of first love gradually emerge on his drawings.
Chapter 4 Pure Love
Shirakawa Natsumi started a new project, which quickly caught the attention of Hashimoto Arina.
"Oh dear, are you drawing a new story again?" Hashimoto Arina, wearing a white coat, walked over with a smile, carrying a registration book. She reached the bedside, leaned over, and looked at the manuscript he was drawing: "Isn't this one one of those fight scenes?"
“This is a story about youth and first love.” Shirakawa Natsu picked up a stack of manuscripts from the side and handed them over: “You can take a look, Arina.”
"Is it really okay to look at?" Hashimoto Arina asked, picking up the painting. "Although I don't know much about the art industry, first drafts are things that need to be kept strictly confidential, right?"
“It’s alright.” Shirakawa Natsu put down her pen and smiled. “I don’t plan to publish this story; it’s just a story I drew for myself.”
"Then I'm even more curious." Hashimoto Arina flipped through the manuscript and paused when she saw the female protagonist. She looked about 80% like her in junior high school, except that her breasts were much smaller.
But he quickly regained his smile, sat down by the hospital bed, and continued flipping through the pages.
Shirakawa Natsu secretly glanced at her expression, her smile changing with the ups and downs of the plot, clearly indicating that she was already immersed in the story.
The way I viewed his shonen manga was completely different from how I used to quickly flip through it.
After reading the entire manuscript, Hashimoto Arina closed it, turned to look at Shirakawa Natsu with a strange expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Sister Yu-cai?" Shirakawa Natsu asked curiously.
“You’re a genius.” Hashimoto Arina looked him up and down again. “I don’t know how your brain works. Talking to you puts a lot of pressure on a mere mortal like me.”
After saying that, he crossed his arms and made a praying gesture: "God, did you forget to add intelligence when you created me?"
Shirakawa Natsu couldn't help but laugh out loud at her exaggerated performance. Glancing at her chest, she thought, "God is fair; he probably just adds it to other places."
