September is approaching, but the weather is still hot.
Amidst the noisy chirping of insects, a red and blue toy ball slipped from the child's hand and bounced towards the road.
Just as it was about to jump off the curb and roll into the middle of the road, a hand stretched out from the side and held it down.
Shiraishi picked up the ball and just stood up, when a six or seven-year-old girl ran over and stopped beside him.
The little girl wore a fluffy white gauze skirt that reached her knees, with low double ponytails and a lace hairpin on her temples. She was dressed like a little princess.
It's just that she had no consciousness of her appearance, and her little hand that had just shot the ball was nervously pulling on the hem of her skirt, leaving a few dark fingerprints on it.
After pulling for a while, she looked at Bai Shi's hand eagerly: "Brother, that's my ball."
Shiraishi lowered his head to look at her and handed the ball back to her.
At this time, a truck suddenly turned out of the side road, its tires screeched sharply, scraped against the edge of the road only one meter away from the two of them, and left with a crash.
The girl was startled by the huge movement, her hands trembled, and the ball almost fell back to the ground.
Shiraishi steadied her hand and turned her shoulder: "When you play ball, just go into the park and play. Don't wander around at the door. It's very dangerous. Do you understand?"
The girl nodded timidly, murmured her thanks, and ran away quickly holding the ball.
Shiraishi ignored her. He walked to the shade of a tree, found a bench and sat down, staring at the air in front of him for two seconds.
Swipe and pull——
A 15.6-inch translucent light screen floated in front of his eyes.
There happened to be a couple passing by in front of Shiraishi, but the two of them were leaning together and not looking sideways. They neither heard the sound from his side nor saw anything unusual.
Sure enough, only I can see it... Shiraishi retracted his gaze from observing passers-by and looked at the screen again.
At first glance, the interface looks like a rough 3D game.
In the center of the screen, there is a stick figure with thin arms and thin legs, with the word "White Stone" in small letters above his head. Surrounding it is a nearby street scene model, scaled to a uniform proportion, and well-proportioned.
In addition, like most game interfaces, Shiraishi's name, health bar and status hang in the upper left corner.
The health bar and status were all normal. Shiraishi glanced at it and looked away, then clicked on the "task bar" floating on the right.
There is a message hanging inside:
[Rescue the naughty kid who only watches the ball but not the road x1][Completed]
This was triggered when he had just traveled through time and was still confused. The trigger was just taking a few steps.
——Yes, he landed right at the entrance of the park. In other words, if all this is a game, then the bench he is sitting on now is his "birth point".
When he first saw the mission, Shiraishi had no clue. He happened to see a ball jumping towards the middle of the road, so he stopped it. Unexpectedly, he accidentally hit it and got it done...
Click on the task marked [Completed], the bar will expand, and the rewards will be displayed below:
【10,000 yen】
This reward is too real... Please be sure to get more in the future.
Click to receive it, and there will be a slight movement in your pocket immediately.
Shiraishi reached in and took out a banknote from his pocket as expected.
Very good, 3 minutes after landing, he successfully got rid of his penniless state.
The money is not much, but Shiraishi just picked up a ball. Thinking about it this way, this self-proclaimed "good guy system" is quite generous.
But he didn't even give a newcomer any guidance. What should he do next? Shiraishi leaned on the bench and fell into deep thought.
In the real world, he is not dead but almost disabled. According to the regulations given by the system before traveling, he has to save 9999 people before he can apply to return safely with the golden finger.
...So many people stacked together can break through the troposphere of the atmosphere. No matter how you think about it, it can't be done in a few days or months.
And if you want to settle in this new world where Japanese is spoken everywhere, this amount of money is definitely not enough.
Could it be that before receiving more tasks, we can only make do with sleeping in the park...
After feeling sad for a while, Bai Shi stood up silently.
As long as you sit at the birth point, money will not fall from the sky.
You still have to take the initiative to go shopping on your own - just in case you encounter a new mission.
Having said that, Shiraishi also knows in his heart that in a peaceful world, an ordinary person does not actually have that many opportunities to encounter dead people.
The little girl just now may have been a newcomer benefit given by the system, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
Shiraishi was already prepared to go for a walk all day long without achieving anything. Unexpectedly, just after walking more than ten meters, he heard a sound like raindrops falling into the water.
He opened the light screen in surprise, and there was actually an additional task on the taskbar:
[Rescue the infatuated girl who went astray x1;
Rescue the passionate man who was brutally killed by the gangster x1]
[Mission location: Dorobiga Park, roller coaster project, second row left seat [map]]
...save two at a time?
In addition, the mission statement has also become longer.
In the first mission, there is no information such as countdown and recommended prop mission locations, just a bare title.
In this case, relatively speaking, the rewards will be greater.
Stop and think for a moment, then look up, and the countdown will start at 15 minutes.
Shiraishi didn't waste any more time and clicked on the [map] in the mission. After confirming that the location was nearby, he closed the map again and looked for the location of the amusement park with his naked eyes.
——It's really easy to find. Whether it's a Ferris wheel or a flying rat soaring into the sky, it stands out like a flock of chickens in this area where there are no tall buildings above six stories.
The amusement park was two blocks away from here. Shiraishi ran all the way there and took a look at the countdown when he arrived.
Great, nine minutes left.
Looking further into the park, it's even better. The roller coaster is also very impressive and is located closest to the gate.
However, when his eyes fell on the long line of people twisting and turning in front of the roller coaster, Shiraishi's eyes went dark.
...There are too many people. Is it because the carousel is not fun or the fairy tale castle is not fragrant enough? Why are you torturing yourself like this?
Complaints are complaints, the task must still be done in a way.
Shiraishi remembered the "Dorabigia Paradise VIP Ticket" among the recommended props, and quickly walked to the ticket office.
There was also a queue in the ticket hall, but it was not as exaggerated as in front of the roller coaster.
Shiraishi stood at the end of the line, looked at the notice board in the hall, and learned some basic information.
Admission to this amusement park is free, but there are separate payment points in front of each item.
Although there is a ticket office at the entrance, it only sells package tickets. For people who are only interested in certain projects, it is more cost-effective to buy tickets for the projects individually.
In addition, a fast-track ticket is also sold here, which allows tourists to skip the queue and directly ride on the rides. It is valid for 2 hours and skips the queue for 8 items.
Looking at the package price again, it was 9,500 yen. Shiraishi understood.
This thing is definitely calculated by the system. No wonder it gives a ridiculously simple task to newcomers at the beginning. The money I just earned is about to be emptied before I can warm it up...
Although heartbroken, Shiraishi could only think about the mission's precise countdown to the second, the strict requirements for seats, and the inhumane long queue in front of the roller coaster.
After a while, he finally got to the window. There were no problems in the process of buying tickets, because the system gave an additional language skill - Japanese proficiency is equivalent to native language. This is really a conscientious move that looks rustic, but is actually very effective.
.
Holding the ticket and running all the way to the roller coaster, there was still 1 minute and 03 seconds left in the countdown.
At this time, looking at the long and crooked queue, Shiraishi felt comfortable. The VIP experience was different, and the sky-high price package was not in vain after all.
As he stepped from the express lane to the high platform, the roaring roller coaster in front turned the last zigzag track, slid into the stable area, and slowly stopped on the platform.
Shiraishi took a moment to glance at the screen. When the roller coaster came to a stop, the countdown hit zero.
This is it.
