He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 4 Zhang Family Road

Dinner was paid for by Kameda, who caught up with us to express his gratitude.

I went to a "Ramen Jiro" shop, which is the origin of the so-called "Jiro-style ramen". It is known for its rugged and bold style, its lack of concern for details, and its pursuit of fullness and impact.

To put it simply, the main selling point is large portions that will fill you up.

"Lin Jun, this is a restaurant I frequent, it's absolutely delicious!"

In the crowded restaurant, Kameda finally found a seat and sat down with Hayashi Hideichi to order.

"Boss, a large bowl, please," Kameda muttered after a moment's thought, then rattled off a string of incantations: "Double the sauce, extra vegetables, double the lard, extra garlic, make it to the standards of Mount Everest!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of most of the stores.

The new customers looked at him as if he were some kind of monster, their expressions shifting between suspicion and mockery. The regulars, however, seemed unfazed, simply glancing at Kameda with the same disdain one might show for a fat pig.

The shop assistant cast an inquiring glance at the owner who was cooking, and the latter nodded silently.

Kameda himself was as thick-skinned as pigskin, completely unconcerned about others' opinions, and turned to ask Hayashi Hideichi, "Hashi-kun, how do you want to eat this?"

Lin Xiuyi couldn't remember the last time he had eaten ramen. Having eaten so much simple food to survive, he wasn't picky about taste, so he replied, "The most basic kind is fine."

During the free time before the food was served, Kameda tried his best to chat with Hayashi Hideichi.

I don't know what triggered this pig today, but he actually came up with a clever idea. Instead of forcing Lin Xiuyi to talk about topics typical of otaku, he tried his best to revolve around Lin Xiuyi and do everything he could to make him happy.

"Lin Jun, have you ever practiced boxing?"

"no."

"So you must have studied some kind of martial arts? You were really efficient when you fought those guys, just like One-Punch Man, taking them down with one punch each!"

"No, not exactly."

"Could it be... could it be that they've mastered some kind of secret martial art from the Chinese nation?!"

"..."

I was dragged into talking about meaningless topics again.

Lin Xiu sighed. She wanted to send him away or leave on her own, just like before, but she hadn't gotten a free meal yet, so it wasn't time to say goodbye.

It's often said that otaku are aloof and unsociable, but they are still quite perceptive of others' attitudes. These people are just stubborn to the point of being foolish, not truly dull-witted.

Seeing that Hayashi Hideichi wasn't interested, Kameda changed the subject himself:

"By the way, Lin-kun, have you heard? A transfer student came from Tokyo to Class A next door."

"A transfer student?" A sudden thought popped into Lin Xiu's head.

"I'm told he's a very important person, and he'll be coming to school tomorrow."

The waiter then brought over a bowl of ramen.

There were no noodles on the thick broth, but instead stood a small mountain supported by chunks of meat, cabbage, and bean sprouts, drizzled with soy sauce and garlic juice, emitting a terrifying heat and aroma.

Lin Xiu saw the huge portion overflowing the bowl and judged it to be the bowl that Kameda had ordered, but the waiter brought the noodles to him.

"One regular serving."

Lin Xiuyi was taken aback.

The waiter left and then came back, this time bringing a bowl the size of a washbasin, containing at least five times the size of a "small mountain" of ramen, "one serving of Mount Everest."

"I'm starting!"

Kameda bowed devoutly, buried his face in the basin, drank a mouthful of the white, oily soup, and picked up his chopsticks.

Lin Xiu saw a pig burying its head in the swill bucket and scavenging wildly.

Until you finish eating.

By the time Lin Xiuyi finished his bowl of ramen, Kameda beside him was already rubbing his stomach with greasy food in his mouth.

"What's this about the transfer student you just mentioned?" Lin Xiu asked, wiping her mouth.

"I heard the news from the class next door. Their homeroom teacher just announced it today, but he didn't say anything specific. He wouldn't reveal anything even when people pressed him for details. He's making it very mysterious, Lin... Lin-kun."

Kameda seemed to be having some difficulty speaking, and he had to catch his breath after every sentence.

Lin Xiuyi was a little worried that he would die like this, and that staying any longer would cause trouble for the police.

"That's settled then. Thanks for the treat, Kameda. You can sit and rest a bit longer; I need to go home and do my homework."

Kameda waved weakly.

Lin Xiuyi got up and left, walking on her way home.

Reflecting on the events of today.

The [Physical Fitness Enhancement Lv1] reward from completing the APP's task was even more powerful than he had expected.

Now, he can run at the level of a second-rate athlete, and his strength level is roughly equivalent to that of a physically strong adult male. He can easily beat four thugs of the same grade in school just by relying on his physical abilities.

However, he still lacks effective control. His brain hasn't adapted to the enhanced physique and nervous system, so much so that he broke two rackets while playing tennis today due to excessive force.

When I beat up those four thugs after school, I accidentally used too much force. Although I didn't hit any vital organs and it wouldn't have caused serious injury or even death, it was almost inevitable that they would end up in the hospital.

The fight wasn't going to cause a big fuss, and the thugs were unlikely to go to the teacher to report it.

That would be as ridiculous as gangsters calling the police because they can't beat ordinary citizens, especially since he had already made Kameda keep evidence that the other party had struck first.

However, this should also serve as a warning—the power of an app is far greater than he imagined; it's not just about money, but also about how some of its tools or abilities can cause trouble if used improperly.

Based on Lin Xiuyi's experiences over the past decade, there shouldn't be anyone else in the world with supernatural abilities like him. Even if there are, these powerful individuals with supernatural abilities don't come out in the open, but choose to remain hidden.

Overall, worldly forces far outweigh supernatural forces. Even if a person's physical abilities were maximized to the limit, they would most likely be unable to withstand a police officer's handgun bullet with a velocity of up to 300 m/s.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully and cautiously disguise oneself.

Lost in thought, Lin Xiuyi was almost at the entrance of her rented building.

Thanks to his enhanced hearing, he was able to hear the noises in the open space in front of the building in advance.

Two people are having a conflict.

"Didn't I just pay back the money the day before yesterday?"

One of the confused and aggrieved voices sounded quite familiar.

Besides that, another man's voice rang out: "You bastard, that's from the month before last! You haven't given me the one from last month yet!"

In Kotobuki, it's common for people who owe high-interest loans to be harassed by debt collectors.

Lin Xiuyi was not surprised at all that he would witness such a thing.

Even when life was extremely poor, he never took out any loans, so this kind of thing was naturally irrelevant to him, and he continued walking in at his original pace.

In the open space, a burly man grabbed the old landlord by the collar, forcing the short old man to stand on tiptoe to relieve the pressure on his neck.

"Stop talking nonsense! Your son owes so much and can't pay it back, so as his father, of course you have to help him pay it off. Didn't you say that yourself?"

"Please, the tenant's rent payment deadline hasn't arrived yet, please give me a little more time..."

The old man's cunning eyes rolled, and happened to land on Lin Xiuyi as she walked in.

Upon seeing someone approaching, he reacted as if he'd seen a savior, his attitude towards the burly man instantly changing as he began shouting, "Someone's here! You bastard, let go of me right now!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man glanced around and spotted Lin Xiuyi. He immediately loosened his grip and put the old man back on the ground.

"You stinking outsider, you're in big trouble, I'm telling you, what do you think this place is...?"

The old landlord coughed violently twice, bracing himself against the wall with one hand and pointing at the burly man with the other, "Hey, Shuichi, this man is trying to harm me! Come save me!"

After all these years, this was the first time Lin Xiuyi had ever heard the old man call him by his name.

Faced with this situation...

He pretended not to see it and went straight up the stairs.
