Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

SP 70/105

Mitsui Tsubasa is very pleased that all attributes have improved.

After some movement, my physical fitness has indeed become stronger. The extent of the improvement needs to be tested later.

Although the upgrade did not restore the status to full, nor did I learn any new skills, this real-time feedback mechanism of becoming stronger did bring a huge pleasure.

If there was an experience bar for everything you do, and you could feel the change immediately after leveling up, I believe there would be many more people who love to learn and work hard.

After carefully looking around and making sure the area was safe, he spread out a blanket, laid out various supplies, and began testing them one by one.

Mineral water seems to speed up the natural recovery process a little bit, but it is useless. I won’t bring it next time.

Carbonated drink, 250ml restores 10HP and 3SP, the sugar-free version doesn't even restore SP!

As expected, sugar substitutes are just false happiness, and Zero Degree is simply a cult...

Most of the snacks can only restore single-digit HP, and the effect on SP recovery is not obvious. And the effect takes longer, generally more than 10 minutes.

Various medicines... Mitsui Tsubasa hesitated for a while, but still did not try them without permission.

All medicines are poisonous. Even taking too much painkillers can harm your body, not to mention other prescription drugs.

Band-aids, gauze, alcohol, and iodine are safe, but their effects are limited. Even if used together, they can only restore 4 HP per minute.

Sitting cross-legged, taking food and medicine together, HP was quickly restored, but SP was only restored to a pitiful 13 points.

The key to restoring SP seems to be sugar or dopamine?

Not sure, write it down in your notes first.

After summarizing, Mitsui Tsubasa looked at the data in his notebook and fell into deep thought.

I feel that it is not very good... The combat endurance is too poor. It takes half an hour or more to recover after a battle of a slightly higher intensity. The efficiency of upgrading is worrying.

Although it is easier to fight alone, the shadows are not dead after all. They will join the battle when they hear or see something. The deeper the impression space is, the greater the density of the shadows will be. You also have to consider the shadows' skills.

"Buzz."

While I was thinking, my phone suddenly vibrated.

I picked it up and saw that it was the alarm clock ringing. It had been exactly 3 hours since I entered the impression space.

It was 6 o'clock when I entered. If the time was synchronized, then it would be 9 o'clock in the real world. Although tomorrow is Saturday, the private high school still arranged four classes in the morning. Today's homework has not been done yet...

The experience bar is 1/69. Even if the experience does not decay, you still need to kill 14 more shadows.

After a slight hesitation, Mitsui Tsubasa packed his backpack and decided to make a final attempt to die.

Since I have a passive skill that can save my life, I might as well rush into the monster pile to gather them, then cast two Sweep Six Directions and run away!

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed feasible. In order to reduce the burden, he simply threw away the snacks and drinks that were not effective. The backpack was indeed much lighter, and the burden was negligible.

Then it was a matter of searching for the shadows, and he went deeper and deeper with caution.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Ah this..."

Looking at the shadows gathered dozens of meters away, Mitsui Tsubasa stuck half of his head out to spy, undecided.

There are at least six humanoid shadows and three shadow dogs. The attack range of their skills has not been tested yet. If they cannot be eliminated in one go, it will be difficult to deal with them if the shadow dogs keep chasing them.

After deep thought, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, turned around and left!

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. There is no need to fight with a bunch of stupid shadows.

Finally, he successfully found two groups of four humanoid shadows, and after closing the distance, he swept across the six directions.

By the way, it was also tested that the smaller range refers to about five meters centered on him, and even enemies behind him can be hit.

I don't dare to use the "Heaven-shading Sun" skill, after all, I always feel a little uneasy about wasting HP.

SP hit bottom, and I felt like my mind was going a little numb.

It would be great if I could seal the Nine-Tailed Fox in my body.

If you lock on to blue, you can sweep through the impression space in minutes and reach the peak of your life.

People are more likely to die than others...

Mitsui Tsubasa stopped fantasizing and decided to return the same way.

"Emperor Shi Huang, has the path changed when we go deeper?"

The king glanced at her, his tone calm: [Where you go there will be traces. Only when you leave this area will the space be reset. After all, you are also part of the group.]

Mitsui Tsubasa suddenly had an idea.

Since the cleared roads would not change again, making a temporary map might provide him with some terrain advantages... such as setting traps.

He pondered this new idea as he set out on his journey home.

But soon he shook his head in annoyance - the shadow appeared again on the way back.

It is unclear whether these shadows wandered over from somewhere else or were regenerated at the original location.

Following the principle of his heart, he carefully bypassed these unplanned shadows and sneaked all the way back to the entrance.

Fortunately, these shadows had limited perception capabilities and did not cause further trouble.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Mitsui Tsubasa recorded the summary of today's exploration in his notebook, reviewed it repeatedly, and after some deletions and modifications, he was barely satisfied.

He then placed the remaining half bottle of water and some snacks near the elevator.

Although the First Emperor had said that the space at the entrance was stable, he still wanted to verify it himself, just in case.

Before entering the elevator, Mitsui Tsubasa looked at the stairs on the right and hesitated for a moment, and finally added a note in his diary: The area ahead will be explored after reaching level 20!

……

"Returned to real space, navigation ended."

The light faded, and Mitsui Tsubasa stood still cautiously, looking down at the bright red line on the floor.

The entry and exit locations are exactly the same. Could it have disappeared out of thin air? Next time I'll use a secure phone to record a video and see.

After confirming that all safety measures were in place and no one had entered the room, Mitsui Tsubasa finally felt relieved and fell on the sofa without caring about his image.

The orange plush sofa was clean and tidy, exuding a comfortable lavender scent. His tense nerves were instantly relieved, and after just a few breaths, Mitsui Tsubasa was intoxicated by the soft touch and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Didi dididi~"

Soon after, the alarm clock that was set in advance rang on time.

He opened his eyes in confusion, and for a moment he felt as if he had slept for a long time, but also as if he had not fallen asleep at all. Not only did his mental fatigue not ease, but it became even heavier.

After struggling for a while, he finally sat up with difficulty and turned off the alarm clock.

I spent about 4 hours in the memory space, and slept for another 45 minutes after coming out. After comparing the standard time online, I was able to confirm that the time flow rate in the real world and the memory space is consistent.

This discovery has its pros and cons: the advantage is that he can precisely control the timing of entry, but the disadvantage is that school takes up too much time, seriously affecting his leveling efficiency. And...

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Mitsui Tsubasa stared at his math homework book with a dull look, his heart full of resistance: "I hate equations..."

Chapter 8 Confused Thoughts

next morning.

"Well, students, please look at this question." The male teacher in traditional costume tapped the blackboard, his voice deep and powerful, echoing in the classroom.

His hairstyle was meticulous and he looked energetic.

In contrast, the students looked a little listless.

"It's so annoying. It's the weekend but I have to go to school!"

"That is to say, if I hadn't set five alarms, I would hardly have gotten up..."

"When can we have a long vacation? I can't stand six days of classes a week..."

With these little complaints filling his ears, Mitsui Tsubasa frowned.

It was just like a mosquito that suddenly appeared in your ear before turning off the lights and going to bed, buzzing and annoying. They were just a bunch of insignificant NPCs, and they couldn't even serve as a quiet background.

In order to maintain his image as an excellent student, he could only stare at the teacher's eyes expressionlessly until the other party avoided his gaze out of guilt.

Although this is a bit rude, the benefits are obvious - teachers of various subjects basically will not ask him to answer questions, and will not say much even if they see that he is obviously distracted.

This is the "reading the air" culture that is popular in Japan nowadays. The distinguished surname of Mitsui is enough to make most ordinary people subconsciously "not cause trouble to others".

But this convenience also has its limitations. At least his homework still needs to be completed and will be corrected in great detail by the teacher.

He had been away from school life for too long in his previous life. Even if he could rely on the knowledge in his memory, it would be difficult for him to get good grades in the annual exams at his current level.

What's more, he was not willing to spend too much energy and time on such things.

After awakening the personality mask early, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of spending too much time at school.

Mitsui Tsubasa lowered his head, trying his best to ignore the noise in the classroom, and concentrated on thinking about the current situation.

If you want to quickly increase the power of your personality mask, the effective method is to improve the efficiency of experience acquisition or extend the leveling time.

The former is limited by logistical supplies and equipment upgrades, and may even need to enhance their own combat skills.

The latter needs to learn from the strategies of time management masters. Even if you only sleep 6 hours a day, the remaining 18 hours will be cut into multiple segments because of school, plus daily chores such as eating, commuting, washing, etc.

The only complete long period of time basically left is the period from after school to before bedtime, which can be said to be stretched.

In order to solve this problem, he could only try to use the power of cognitive learning.

Cognitive science, judging from the performance of the original work, undoubtedly possesses the ability of 'cognitive substitution'.

As long as classmates and teachers add the knowledge that "Mitsui Tsubasa is a good student and studies hard every day" and "ignore any abnormal behavior of Mitsui Tsubasa" to their "common sense", school time can be freely managed.

If you can sleep in class and don't have to do homework, you can make up a complete period of about 12 hours.

Only in this way can he accelerate his own growth... Mitsui Tsubasa raised his head firmly, slowly scanned the classmates in the classroom, and finally fixed his eyes on the math teacher's face.

Especially this loud-mouthed teacher. I really want him to be quieter because my head is already aching from lack of sleep, and his noise is almost giving me a migraine!

Unfortunately, I can’t get the cognitive science research data of Isshiki Wakaba and Maruki Takuto, so I can only explore the specific application on my own...

In short, first of all, we need to raise the level of the First Emperor, and then use the theoretically weakest ordinary students as test subjects, enter the impression space and use the cognitive modification fist on their shadows...

The only concern here is Shinjima. After all, she is a member of the future protagonist group. Will her shadow be stronger than that of ordinary people? When she awakens her personality mask, will she be aware of these cognitive changes?

Let's leave her for last, Mitsui Tsubasa glanced at her silently.

The morning passed quickly as I was lost in thought.

……

At noon.

Walking out of the school gate, Mitsui Tsubasa couldn't help but sigh.

After running between the Impression Space and school for two consecutive days without getting enough rest at night, he was already a little dazed.

But the situation is urgent. Every day he delays will widen the gap between him and the villain Shi Tong Zhengyi. The other party had obtained cognitive science research data several years ago, and it is unknown how far he has progressed now.

Although 'taking the helm of this corrupt country' is not Mitsui Tsubasa's goal, it is the only way to his ultimate ideal. There will be a battle between the two sides in the future!

Even so, when he walked to the subway station, he still hesitated. If he went home directly and entered the impression space to continue leveling up... it was really a bit of a stretch.

"I should give myself half a day off." He muttered to himself and got on a train going in the opposite direction.

Shortly after.

"The next stop is Shigenjaya. Shigenjaya, passengers who are getting off the train please get off in an orderly manner from the right side."

Mitsui Tsubasa got out of the car with an expressionless face.

It didn't work. He felt a strong sense of guilt at the thought of doing nothing and resting. How could he just hang around when time was so tight?

'Intelligence gathering'--Compared to entering the impression space to fight, it should be considered a break.

Go to Lu Brown for a quick meal, then visit Takemi Tadashi's clinic.

Logistical supplies can no longer be delayed. Relying solely on food to replenish war losses is not a long-term solution.

After leaving the subway station, Mitsui Tsubasa walked around for a long time before finding the familiar scene. The real Shigenjaya is undoubtedly much larger than the one in the game.
