Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

He wanted her to learn how to manage, and to learn all sorts of things about games; he didn't want her to be so tired...

"I'm not tired at all. I'm very happy, really, very happy. Okay, I'm running late, I have to go now." Kato Megumi squeezed Uesugi Kenichi's hand and turned to leave.

I want to be by your side, accompanying you through everything, whether it's happiness or sorrow, success or failure, rather than just watching you silently as a spectator.

Kato Megumi understood that Uesugi Kenichi was moving at a great pace, and she would have to work very hard to keep up with him and not be left behind. She knew that Uesugi Kenichi would stop and wait for her, but she didn't want to and was unwilling to do so.

Moreover, she felt that these busy days were very interesting and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Uesugi Kenichi watched Kato Megumi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, then decided against following her and returned home alone.

When he received his first payment for Plants vs. Zombies, he considered buying a house, but ultimately gave up on the idea. He still had many other expenses to cover and it wasn't time for him to splurge.

After entering the room, he looked around and was surprised to find that there was no one in the house. Usually at this time, the house would be as noisy as a market, but today no one came.

However, he was quite happy to have some free time. He reviewed the test paper he had done today and felt there were no problems. Just as he was about to exercise, the phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and then answered the phone.

"Hey Uesugi-kun, it's been so long since you've come to Sakura-sou for a visit, that's really heartless of you." Chihiro Sengoku's teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

Uesugi Kenichi chuckled lightly, "What are you saying, Sengoku-sensei? I've been so busy these past few days. I'll definitely pay you a visit when I have some free time."

"Come on, stop with the formalities. If you really wanted to come, you would have already."

"And I really don't know if Misaki lives here with me or with you. She's often not even home. You're quite capable, aren't you? You managed to get Misaki so quickly. So, what do you think of Misaki's figure? Isn't it amazing?" Chihiro chuckled and then became indecent again.

Kenichi Uesugi couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Is this something a teacher should say? Where is your professional ethics?"

“I threw away that kind of thing back when I was still a tadpole.”

Uesugi Kenichi: "..."

This guy's a big shot, I can't afford to mess with him.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Uesugi-kun, you should still remember what you promised me, right?"

"Of course." Uesugi Kenichi straightened his expression after hearing this. He was quite grateful to Sengoku Chihiro. The abilities of the ambitious Misaki Kusa and Akasaka Ryunosuke were truly outstanding, deserving of the title of genius.

With the help of these two people, he definitely felt much more relaxed.

"Just tell me if there's anything I can do, and I'll do it if it's within my power!" Having received such a great help, he would definitely help if it wasn't too troublesome; there was no question about it.

Chihiro Sengoku looked at Shanshan Qianyi with a meaningful smile, then took out a photo from her pocket and handed it over.

"This is my cousin, Shiina Mashiro. She came from England and plans to study here."

When Uesugi Kenichi took the photo, a delicate girl, as beautiful as a porcelain doll, came into his view.

The girl, wearing a sun hat, with soft, light yellow hair and a light blue dress, sat on a bench in the garden, looking like a noble princess.

What an adorable little girl! Uesugi Kenichi couldn't help but think to himself.

"So what do you want me to do?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I would like you to pick her up from the station at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"That's it? Why didn't you go yourself, instead of asking me to?" Uesugi Kenichi looked at Sengoku Chihiro with a puzzled expression, unable to understand her intentions.

He had prepared for a difficult time for this gang, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. It was so simple that he felt something was wrong. Could there be something I didn't know about?

“I have a social gathering to attend tomorrow. Can’t you be a little more understanding of me, who is 29 years and 13 months old and still unmarried?” Chihiro Sengoku said, avoiding Kenichi Uesugi’s gaze. “Besides, do you think it’s appropriate to leave this to Misaki and Ryunosuke? They’ve both gone home for the past two days.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll be there on time.” Uesugi Kenichi nodded solemnly, since it wasn’t a difficult task anyway.

"So, if I pick up the person, can I just bring them back here?"

"No problem, then I'll wait for your good news. I'll throw a banquet to entertain you then."

"it is good."

Kenichi Uesugi waved goodbye to Chihiro Sengoku and returned home. After a simple dinner, he began his daily exercise.

Even when he was very busy, he made sure to take time every day to train and enter simulated battlefields to improve his combat skills.

With persistent training, he felt both joy and deep-seated worry.

The good news is that although the rate at which his attribute points increase has slowed down since he leveled up, it is still increasing steadily and has not stagnated after reaching a certain point.

His concern is that he doesn't know when his progress will end, or if there is no end at all. This worries him, as he wonders if this continuous improvement will completely destroy his current peaceful life.

Ultimately, the desire to become stronger outweighed this worry.

Chapter 107 Learning the Seven Nights Assassination Technique

"drink!"

As he swung his wooden sword, a piece of wood laid out in front of him was cleanly and neatly cut in half. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to take a break when a system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding, your character level has increased to LV18, and all attribute points have increased by one."

He heard the system notification and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He had finally leveled up to LV18.

Besides his relentless training these days, there is another driving force behind his persistent training: the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, which has been showing as unusable!

With this upgrade, he has met all the prerequisites required for the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

He opened the character panel.

Name: Kenichi Uesugi.

Age: 16

Level: LV10

Power: 40

Agility: 45

Constitution: 42

Intelligence: 45

Charisma: 36

Special skills: Simulated Battlefield, Combat Specialization, Fusion, Blood Burn, Super Intuition.

技能：八千流V16,八极拳LV15,雕刻，lv14,汉语LV10,绘画LV7……七夜暗杀术LV1(可用)！

He discovered that every 5 levels his character gained, he would receive a special skill reward. The skills "Burning Blood" and "Super Intuition" were the rewards he received when his character leveled up to LV15.

He's not entirely sure about the exact number yet; the most he's ever rewarded at once was two, but he can't guarantee there won't be more.

He now has a very good feeling about this unknown and silent system. Although it looks a bit weak, the things it provides are exceptionally powerful.

In his opinion, the effect of the Blood Burning skill was somewhat abnormal. After using the skill, one would burn the blood in their body to gain a 40% increase in all attributes. The skill lasted for 5 minutes, and after using the skill, one would enter a period of weakness. The degree of weakness depended on the duration of the skill, with the most severe cases resulting in a 3-day period of weakness.

This effect is undeniably overpowered. Anyone who has played online games knows that truly divine skills or equipment are those that can provide a percentage boost to attributes, and such equipment and skills can be used until the very end.

Although the improvement is not very obvious when you are weak, once your basic attributes are up, the improvement will become more and more terrifying. As for the side effects, he didn't care much about them. It would be strange if such a powerful skill didn't have some side effects.

As for the Hyper Intuition skill, it is also very powerful. This skill can greatly enhance his sensitivity to danger and significantly increase the probability of making the correct choice when he needs to make unknown choices.

After reviewing all the skills he possessed once more, Uesugi Kenichi focused his gaze on the previously grayed-out Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

The skill's color has now changed from gray to green, indicating its availability.

Without hesitation, he clicked on it, and immediately a whole bunch of training methods and various images related to the Seven Nights Assassination Technique appeared in his mind.

This...this is truly astonishing. No wonder such strict attribute restrictions are required.

In the image in my mind, a person with azure demonic eyes is constantly making unique movements using everything around them.

That method and speed defied human comprehension. Like a spider, it could stabilize its body in various positions, suddenly accelerate and turn while stationary, and keenly detect all surrounding objects. One by one, the demons gushed blood and died at the hands of the person with terrifying eyes.

After absorbing all the knowledge in his mind, Uesugi Kenichi swallowed hard, and then his eyes shone with an extremely bright light.

He couldn't wait to learn this bizarre and incredibly cool move.

After looking around the yard, he walked to the wall, casually stretched out his foot and stepped on it. His body gradually formed a very strange arc with the ground, and then his whole body began to be parallel to the ground. At this point, the wall seemed to become the ground!

After taking only a few steps, he fell to the ground with a thud. He got up, dusted himself off, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The feeling was very unfamiliar, as if the world was suddenly presented from a completely different perspective, giving people a very novel experience.

After thinking for a moment, he entered the simulated battlefield. After leveling up to LV15, a new function appeared in the simulated battlefield, which allowed him to create various training scenarios according to his own wishes.

After thinking for a moment and setting up the scene he needed, a house full of obstacles appeared before him. This was the most suitable training ground he had envisioned based on the characteristics of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

He stepped into the house and began training repeatedly.

For him, the most difficult part of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique was breaking through the conventional perceptions he had in his mind.

It is necessary to adapt to the use of various bodily skills during the transition from extreme stillness to extreme movement.

If a normal person suddenly encounters a high wall while moving at high speed, they only have two choices: either stop or change direction.

When faced with this situation, the Seven Nights Assassination Technique should be used to continue charging forward!

Every part of the wall and ceiling can be used as a fulcrum; every place he is in is a flat surface to him.

It is very difficult to adapt to this change in mindset and the huge shift in the frame of reference all at once.

His physical condition had reached the minimum standard to use the Seven Nights Assassination Technique. He knew he could do it, but his rationality prevented him from doing those actions that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

He fell and got up again and again, seemingly tireless, with an extremely excited smile on his face, immersed in this unique and eerie gait.

Gradually, a ghostly figure moved at high speed within the house filled with obstacles, constantly using everything around it.

"...You need to be more agile in your movements."

"I can do this action; I just need to overcome my inner fear."

"The transition from extreme movement to extreme stillness requires careful control of the use of every muscle in the body."

Kenichi Uesugi gradually adapted to this change, slowly adjusting his body's instincts through the pain.

He repeatedly etched that unique power exertion posture, body parts, and muscle usage into his very being, slowly transforming the knowledge in his mind into something truly his own.

Chapter 108 Hug

“Yes, I can do it, and this is how it should be done here.”

"We need to go even faster here."

Whether it was due to the system's power or Uesugi Kenichi's exceptional talent, under this continuous training, Uesugi Kenichi's movements and footwork finally began to look quite professional.

Even though it wasn't as smooth, the number of falls kept decreasing, as if it were a killer in the dark, appearing silently from places that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
