In Tokyo: They are heavily dependent on me

Chapter 49. I once thought about ending it all.

[Character: Chio Kobayashi]

[Aid Progress: 30%]

Trustworthiness: Excellent

[Affection Level: Excellent]

[Mood Value: Excellent]

[Announcement: Aid progress has reached 30%]

[You have rewards to view]

Because their understanding of Kobayashi was so comprehensive that they knew everything about her, they didn't receive any information this time, but instead received a reward directly...

Kaoru lay on the bed, her attention focused on the constantly flashing 'transparent window'.

"Check."

[Announcement: Your reward is]

[Giveaway ×1]

[1000 points]

"lottery?"

Xun frowned. He knew all too well about points, which could be used to exchange for items in the shop. As for the lottery... this was the first time he had ever seen it.

Out of curiosity, he used his mind to click the exclamation mark next to "Lottery". Instantly, a dense text popped up and filled the entire ceiling.

1. The items obtained through the lottery are intangible and encompass high-level human skills related to disciplines such as physics, sports science, and music.

2. The skills acquired can only cover a single area, and once acquired, their effectiveness is not guaranteed. For example, a person who has lost both hands can acquire the skill of shooting a basketball, and a person who has lost both legs can acquire the skill of running. The skills that can be effective are limited to the scope of what the body can do.

3. Once acquired, the skill will be permanently active.

4. Once the skill takes effect, it will only make you stand out in that specific area and will not cause any ripple effects.

5. The time required for a skill to take effect varies from several minutes to several days, depending on the complexity of the skill. Skill loading will cause slight pain.

......

99. The final interpretation right belongs to this system.

Xun read through all the rules and understood them completely.

If he acquires skills in physics or science, and can reach a high level in a single field, he could definitely earn 20 million yen in a year... no, just one month.

"Giveaway... Just click here..."

This time, he didn't use his mind to control it, but instead carefully touched it with his fingers.

Suddenly, the scene before his eyes became dazzling: kendo, singing, cooking, shooting, and many other unfamiliar terms were thrown into the gashapon machine, only to be spat out in the end.

[Announcement: You have acquired the following skills]

[Music composition (covering pop, rock, heavy metal, jazz, etc.)]

You have now learned how to write lyrics, compose music, and arrange music.

In an instant, Hoshino Kaoru felt as if an Oxford dictionary had been forcibly shoved into his brain, and everything before his eyes became blurry. He lay on the bed, pressing his hands against his brain, his body feeling as if he were falling from a hundred meters in the air, filled with an unreal and surreal sensation.

By the time he was able to breathe, his forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his fingernails dug into his palms, leaving very obvious marks.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Kaoru stood up immediately after regaining consciousness.

"Is this still just a slight pain, you bastard!"

The system did not answer him; the 'transparent window' that appeared in his field of vision coldly displayed the words 'Skill loading successful'.

"Never mind... what a cold-hearted guy."

Xun shook her dizzy head, went to the window, opened it, and breathed in the fresh air. The pain from deep within her brain finally subsided somewhat.

After calming down, he sat at the desk by the window and began to think.

Compared to skills like cooking, shooting, and kendo, the benefits of music composition are much more obvious.

He can create popular music and make a fortune from selling the copyrights, or collaborate with famous singers to create songs that become a sensation throughout Japan.

By then, he and his sister will be able to live a wealthy life, move into a luxury apartment in the port area, and never have to worry about money again.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Soon, Kaoru found the ballpoint pen, and she felt creative inspiration flowing through her mind. The pen tip kept leaping and spinning on the notebook, like a noble dancer.

It took about two hours for a song to appear that I had no recollection of in this world or in my previous life.

I once thought about ending it all.

"It's quite effective."

Xun is confident that, perhaps in the near future, the song he created will become a household name.

Well, the song issue is temporarily resolved.

However, there is still a problem at hand.

Although he can compose songs, his singing skills are terrible. If he were to go on stage and sing, the security personnel would treat him as a disruptor and throw him out.

If we could find a singer or idol with a certain level of fame, the two of us could collaborate and split the royalties... fifty-fifty.

"As expected, even I cannot guarantee perfection in every aspect."

Xun shook her head with a sigh, and was just about to stand up and stretch when her phone, which was lying to the side, lit up.

He glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

Could it be a spam call...? He was about to hang up when something suddenly occurred to him, and he decided to answer it anyway.

Maybe they're guests...

"Hello, this is Hoshinoya Ramen. Do you need delivery service?"

"Hello...you..."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Kaoru tried hard to recall the voice in her mind, attempting to find the owner of the voice in her memory.

"Excuse me... who are you...?"

"Blue Sky... Blue Sky Asuka! We met after the concert, you left your phone number... Don't you remember?"

Hearing the somewhat hurried female voice coming from the other end of the phone, Xun quickly remembered.

Oh! It's that little girl... Pshaw! It's that idol who likes to be followed.

"Yes, I remember. May I ask what's the matter?"

"Next week...on Wednesday, can we meet?"

"Wednesday? No problem."

"Hmm... I'll contact you then."

The call was quickly disconnected.

In Kaoru's mind, the face he had almost forgotten reappeared.

A plan formed in his mind.

Minami-chan, the former lead vocalist of the group LOVE.

The works created have been appropriated by the remaining two members and are currently facing a public opinion storm.

He knew very well that what he lacked now was a famous idol.

Kaoru envisioned how Minami would make a comeback, bringing his original songs back into the public eye. At that time, his name would be on repeat in the news: "genius composer," "the youngest music creator ever to appear in the Japanese music scene," "no one can surpass his achievements." Kaoru had already planned how the news would describe him in the future.

As the lead singer, she is destined to become the focus of attention on the stage.

"You're so lucky... to call me when I needed you the most."

"I guess... soon, you'll be able to shine on stage like before."
