Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

"What?"

Chihaya Aine stretched out a finger and raised her chin:

"Where did the yellow hair come from?"

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

After a few words, the shop owner quickly put the processed insects into a paper box and handed it over. Probably because he saw that Kitahara Makoto had three people with him, he also gave an extra pair of bamboo chopsticks.

“It smells good.”

Kitahara Makoto took the bug and smelled it. Regardless of how it tasted, it at least smelled fragrant.

"Here, chopsticks." Kitahara Makoto broke open the disposable bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Takamatsu Deng.

"Thank you Kitahara-san."

Gao Songdeng thanked him politely, took the chopsticks, picked up a silkworm pupa, observed it carefully for a moment, and then put it into his mouth.

"How does it taste?" Chihaya Aine watched nervously from the side, her face full of resistance, "Is it terrible? Will it explode?"

Gao Songdeng's cheeks bulged, and he looked inexplicably cute like a little hamster. He commented while eating:

“It’s crispy and has a nice flavor.”

"Really?" Chihaya Aine asked with a face full of doubt.

“I’m not lying, it’s delicious.” Takamatsu Deng said seriously, “Aine, try it too.”

"I, I'd better forget it..."

Chihaya Aine's tone was hesitant.

Kitahara Makoto handed over the bamboo chopsticks: "Only by tasting it yourself can you understand what it tastes like. Chihaya-san doesn't want to miss out on the new world, right?"

Chihaya Aine was conflicted and wanted to refuse, but seeing that Takamatsu Deng was eating happily, she couldn't help but become curious. After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage and took the chopsticks:

"Then I'll try it...Is it okay?"

"Don't worry." Kitahara Makoto said as he ate. "These insects are said to be wild, but they are actually farmed. They are much cleaner than you might think, and under high-temperature frying, all creatures are truly equal... But I suggest Chihaya try silkworm pupae first, and don't force yourself with other things for now. If you're interested, you can try them later."

"Well, then..."

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to try to open the door to a new world.

"I'm sorry, I just finished eating the silkworm pupae." Gao Songdeng said apologetically.

Kitahara Makoto handed the box over: "There's still one you haven't touched, eat mine."

"How is that possible..."

Chihaya Aine quickly shook her head.

Men and women should not touch each other, and they don’t have a very intimate relationship, so of course you can’t eat boys’ things!

"Well……"

Takamatsu Deng tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stretched out his chopsticks, picked up the silkworm pupae from Kitahara Makoto's paper box, and handed them to Chihaya Aine's mouth: "You can eat it now."

Chihaya Aine: “…”

Under Takamatsu Deng's expectant gaze, Chihaya Aine was unable to refuse after all. Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she folded the hair by her ear with one hand and carefully ate the silkworm pupa.

"Hey, it tastes surprisingly good..."

“Aine, do you want to eat more?”

“…eat another one.”

at the same time.

Kitahara Makoto ate the remaining insects one at a time and quickly finished them.

To be honest, this thing is just for fun. It is not bad, but not delicious either. Moreover, it is very expensive. It can be said that it is like Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing to take the bait will take it.

"Open the simulator."

Kitahara Makoto muttered to himself.

The pixel-style interface of Life Simulator unfolds before my eyes, and today's four daily tasks have all been completed.

"lottery."

You can’t save any money from ten consecutive draws. You have to use up the draw opportunities on the same day, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep at all.

However, Kitahara Makoto didn't have high hopes. He had shipped several items in the past two days. With his luck, it was very likely that he would get ability fragments today...

But the next second.

A ball of power light fell in front of Kitahara Makoto.

Ability: [Restoration Warlock·Optimization]

Chapter 76: Stockings Treasure

"... [Restoration Warlock·Optimization]?"

Kitahara Makoto had a subtle expression.

Shipping goods is naturally a happy thing, but why does this ability sound a bit...improper?

Could it be the movie about the healing wizard that I watched in my previous life?

With a subtle feeling of anticipation, Kitahara Makoto quickly checked the detailed introduction.

[Ability: Restoration Warlock Optimization]

[Category: Active]

[Description: You can use your energy to optimize and upgrade objects that can be optimized. The optimized objects will randomly obtain special entries.]

[Note: Not all objects can be optimized. You can easily identify the objects that can be optimized.]

"Is this the optimization ability of the Stick Hero?"

Kitahara Makoto hesitated: "Why do I remember that it was Setsuna who caught the future?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kitahara Makoto quickly put his concerns aside.

"Well, I can't remember."

After all, it was something I saw a long time ago, so it's normal that my memory is vague.

As for the effectiveness of the ability, you will know it only after using it.

Today, Kitahara Makoto no longer complains about useless abilities easily. Even if the abilities are useless, they may come in handy at special moments.

"As for how to identify what can be optimized..."

Kitahara Makoto looked around but didn't find anything until his eyes fell on Takamatsu Deng.

"what happened?"

Kitahara Makoto's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at Takamatsu Deng's legs in surprise... to be precise, the black over-the-knee socks on the girl's legs.

Xiao Deng's outfit was very ordinary, with standard round-toed leather shoes and black knee-high socks for high school girls. There was a faint hint of snow-white between her skirt and her stockings. The knee-high socks even left a faint concave mark on the girl's thighs, which made her look a little more astringent...

Of course, these are not important.

What’s important is that in Kitahara Makoto’s eyes, the black over-the-knee socks on Takamatsu Deng’s legs were clearly glowing.

It’s like many of the interactive items in the game are emitting a faint light.

Looking at the pair of glowing stockings, Kitahara Makoto suddenly had an epiphany:

"Xiao Deng's stockings can be improved."

No wonder it is said that it is easy to identify items that can be optimized. As long as you are not blind, you can see it!

"Hey~"

Chihaya Aine dodged and stood in front of Takamatsu Deng, pinched her waist with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand and said:

"Xiao Deng is indeed cute, but it is very rude to keep staring at a girl's legs."

"I'm so sorry." Kitahara Makoto came back to his senses, coughed twice and said, "I was just thinking about something and my mind was wandering."

"Hmm~"

Chihaya Aine turned around and asked, "What did Xiao Deng say?"

Gao Songdeng covered her skirt with her hands, turned her pretty face slightly away, and her voice seemed to have a little more fluctuation than usual:

"What Kitahara-san said...it doesn't matter."

"..."

Kitahara Makoto calmed down and couldn't help but take another look at the over-the-knee socks on Takamatsu Deng's legs.

In such a large snack city, no other luminous objects have been seen yet. In other words, objects that can be [optimized] are actually rare and are not everywhere on the streets.

In this way, the over-the-knee socks on Gao Songdeng's legs look quite precious.

The problem is, if you suddenly ask a girl for stockings, even if she is an electric wave girl, she will definitely be shy and refuse, right?

The two girls had finished eating by now, and looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock.

"Let's go to the nearby mall and buy something first?" Chihaya Aine suggested, "We just ate something, so we definitely won't be able to eat hot pot now."

Gao Songdeng raised his little face and looked at Kitahara Makoto: "What did Kitahara say?"

Kitahara Makoto said casually, "I'm fine with anything."

It was already late May, and evening wasn't until around 6:30, so there was no rush.

Stay with the two girls for a while longer. If you can't find other items that can be optimized, find a way to get the over-the-knee socks on Takamatsu Deng's legs... Now that I have mastered a new ability, of course I want to experience its effect.

The three of them temporarily left the snack bar and went to a nearby shopping mall.

After arriving at the shopping mall, the two girls gathered together and chattered in private, probably to buy some personal items. Kitahara Makoto naturally would not come closer. He followed the two girls at a distance, carefully looking for items that could be optimized.

Hard work pays off.

After a while.

Kitahara Makoto suddenly saw a peculiarly shaped keychain emitting a faint light on the shelf in the accessories section.

“Finally, there is something to gain.”

Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to take the keychain.

This keychain is made to look like a small piano, with a few small buttons on it, which seems to be something people can play with when they are bored.

The simulator quickly pops up a prompt:

[You have obtained an optimizable item, do you want to optimize it now? ]

"no."

Kitahara Makoto silently rejected it in his heart.

There are many people in the shopping mall, and I have never used the optimization capability before. Who knows whether exaggerated sound and light effects will appear when optimizing items? In short, it is better to be cautious.

Kitahara Makoto put away the small piano keychain, feeling very happy, and continued to look for other items that could be optimized.

Unfortunately, my luck seemed to have run out, and I didn't see any other objects glowing in the following time.

After half an hour.

Takamatsu Deng and Chihaya Aine finally finished shopping in the mall. Kitahara Makoto followed the two girls to the cashier to pay and bought the key chain directly.

Then the three of them returned to the snack bar and prepared to have an authentic Sichuan hotpot.

"You guys take a seat first." Kitahara Makoto made an excuse and left for the moment, "I'm going to the bathroom."

After entering the cubicle, Kitahara Makoto closed the door, then took out his newly bought piano keychain, curiously pressed a few buttons on it, and found that it could really make sounds.
