Section 176
Despite having prepared himself mentally, Asano Makoto still felt a sense of loss and helplessness when Lilith directly denied his idea.
However, because he hadn't held much hope to begin with, his disappointment was limited.
And after all, even ordinary hypnosis is a very useful skill. It can not only be used to treat insomnia, but it will also be very convenient for petty theft.
To maintain rigor, he asked more questions, such as what limitations the skill had.
And there really were some.
For example, this skill can only affect one person at a time.
Also, depending on the timing of the skill application, it will affect the effectiveness of the hypnosis, which is the speed at which the affected person falls asleep.
Simply put, if the affected person is in a comfortable and warm environment suitable for rest, the skill will take effect quickly.
Conversely, if the environment is not good, it will take longer for the person to fall asleep. If the environment is too bad, the hypnosis can only make the person feel sleepy, but not fall asleep.
Overall, these are all very reasonable limitations, which can be considered normal and acceptable.
What Asano Makoto found a bit unfortunate was the skill's cooldown time.
According to Lilith, because her power has not fully recovered, this skill can only be used once a week.
However, as the level increases, the cooldown time of this skill will gradually shorten, and when it is fully recovered, it can be used once a day.
But it's too early to talk about that now, and a week's cooldown time is indeed a bit long, so Asano Makoto directly dismissed his plan to find someone to experiment on.
He originally planned to go to Okubo Park, find a girl on the street, go to a hotel, and test the effect of the skill.
But considering the week-long cooldown, he gave up after thinking about it.
After all, what if there is a need to use this skill within this week?
Fortunately, despite the various limitations of this skill, if it can successfully make the affected person fall asleep, as long as there is no natural disaster such as a high-level earthquake, or a bucket of ice water poured directly on them, then this person will remain in a state of sleep until they have slept for eight hours.
After asking all the questions he needed to ask, Asano Makoto praised Lilith a few times, rested at home for a while, and then went out directly.
He didn't drive his newly bought car home until 5:30 in the afternoon.
Today, he first called the insurance company and the 4S store to deal with his car that had been smashed by hail.
In fact, this didn't take much time, because he bought the most expensive full insurance, so he didn't have to run around for big or small things. After the insurance company's people finished assessing the damage, they directly towed his car away for repairs. He himself just handed in some information, took a couple of glances, and then it was none of his business.
Because the car was severely damaged, the estimated repair time was very long, about a month and a half.
Considering that it's really not okay to not have your own car in a hellhole like Shinjuku, especially since he was almost squeezed to death by the train when he went to the parking lot today, Asano Makoto's desire to buy a new car for transportation was immediately maxed out.
He went to the Audi 4S store he had gone to before and bought a new car again.
This was his second time here, and the person who received him was still the same young female salesperson.
But when she saw him, he didn't know why, but this salesperson, who has now become the manager of this branch, became very excited, which made him feel a little inexplicable.
And after hearing that he was going to buy a new car again, this little salesperson was even more enthusiastic than last time.
However, because he already had a luxury car, and this time he just wanted to buy a car for transportation, he didn't buy anything particularly good, but just bought an A6L that the store had in stock.
Including all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, the top-end A6L cost him 10 million yen, which is about 500,000 yuan when converted into RMB.
For Asano Makoto, this amount of money is basically a drop in the bucket.
After completing various tasks and receiving rewards, his personal assets have reached nearly 500 million yen.
Sounds like a lot, right?
But considering what Asano Makoto wants to do next, this amount of money may not be enough, so he must find a way to get some money.
After spending some time completing the procedures, and then incidentally rejecting the salesperson's request to go out to dinner together in the evening and ignoring her request, Asano Makoto drove the car away in the other party's somewhat disappointed gaze.
After taking care of the car problem, Asano Makoto successively ran to a well-reputed law firm and asked a lawyer a few questions.
He asked a lot of questions, but in view of the "Yukichi Fukuzawa", the lawyer was not impatient and answered very carefully.
After figuring out what he wanted to know, the plan in his mind also had a clear direction, and after adding a contact method with this lawyer, his affairs were basically handled.
But before going home, he also went to the Shin-Okubo commercial center and bought some miscellaneous small things—mainly gifts for the girls, small necklaces and small accessories, and incidentally bought a few clothes for himself to wear.
After buying things, he drove home.
When going from the underground garage to upstairs, he incidentally went to the lobby, and then asked Lilith to install his newly bought second pinhole camera at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of this apartment building.
Although Lilith's body size has become much larger after the upgrade, except for Asano Makoto, other people still can't see it.
So Lilith, who has wings and can fly into the sky, and who others can't see, is really very convenient when doing some things.
After taking the elevator to the ninth floor, he installed another one in the corridor, aiming at the direction of his own home and the door next door.
At this point, the "monitoring array" that Asano Makoto had been thinking about for a long time was completely completed.
Now, when a capture target comes to find him, he can know in advance, so he doesn't have to worry about the capture targets running into each other.
And he doesn't have to worry about being caught by Yamada Yuta, who suddenly comes home, when he goes to Miyajima Eriko to do bad things.
Thinking this way, he prepared to go next door to say hello to Miyajima Eriko.
After all, he hadn't seen Eriko for a day, and he missed her a little, and reporting his day's itinerary to his girlfriends is the best way to appease them.
However, just then, he suddenly saw Yamada Yuta returning home on the monitoring screen in the lobby on the first floor.
Perhaps he had finally figured it out and knew that Miyajima Eriko was more important than work, Yamada Yuta had been coming home especially early these past two days.
Seeing him take the elevator upstairs, Asano Makoto had to dismiss his idea and sat on the sofa with some depression.
But just when he thought he was going to spend a lonely night today and could only pass the time by playing succubus, his phone suddenly rang.
Chapter 238 Touching Your Legs (3K)
After seeing Yamada Yuta go home, Asano Makoto originally planned to just find something to do and kill time before going to sleep.
But just then, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang several times in a row.
Someone sent him a message.
Although the phone was vibrating non-stop, as if something important was happening, Asano Makoto was not in a hurry at all, and slowly took out his phone.
He probably knew who sent him the message, because if there was nothing else going on, basically only two people would send him messages every day.
Considering that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, then there was only one possibility left.
After all, at this time, Kanno Yuna, who was already out of school, should be studying in the school's library, and she would only say good night to him at twelve o'clock when she went to sleep.
Asano Makoto unhurriedly turned on his phone and took a look. As expected, as he expected, all those messages were sent by Konno Yuka.
"Finally off work! Liberated!"
"But I'm so tired."
"Little cat is exhausted and lying flat.JPG"
"Let me tell you, the person in charge of Party A today is so annoying!"
"Obviously my posture is fine, and I've always done it this way before, but she kept pointing fingers, and as a result, after I changed the action according to what she said, she wasn't satisfied, and finally told me to do the original posture again."
"It's so excessive! I suspect she's deliberately making things difficult for me!"
"Angry.JPG"
"Eyes are spitting fire.JPG"
"But their clothes are really good, beautiful, and of good quality. They even gave me two sets because they saw I liked them... So I'll let it go this time."
"By the way, I found a good store here this time. I'll share it with you."
"This is the address. You can come over and try it if you have the chance. I can take you there too."
"There are many fun places here, but it's a pity that I'm too busy with work and haven't had time. If I have time next time, I must go shopping!"
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Also, today I..."
"Haha, isn't it interesting?"
"..."
"Ah! I've said so much, I forgot to show you the clothes. Wait a moment, I'll take a picture for you! See what you think."
The messages Konno Yuka sends every time are like this, complex and detailed. What she did today, what she ate, what she encountered, she will tell Asano Makoto everything.
She will both complain to Asano Makoto about the unhappy things she encountered today, and share the happiness she felt today with Asano Makoto. She will talk about everything, no matter how big or small.
Asano Makoto occasionally shares some of his daily life with her as a response, of course, most of them are abridged versions, or simply fabricated, such as playing games at home all day.
This time, as usual, Konno Yuka still sent a lot of messages, which were interspersed with many cute emoticons, but the first thing Asano Makoto saw was still the selfie that she attached to every message she sent.
Although she said it was a recent photo, judging from the angle of this photo and the very faint traces of the retouching, Asano Makoto felt that she must have spent a lot of time taking such a satisfactory photo before sending it over.
It can also be said that she always takes a carefully taken photo before starting to chat with him.
Asano Makoto has always known Konno Yuka's little thoughts, but he never intends to expose them.
After all, it's making it cheaper for him to do so, and there's no need, the key is that it's harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.
If he really said it, what if Konno Yuka became angry out of shame and never sent them again? Where would he go to see these beautiful "private photos" that fans can't see and only send to him?
So after Konno Yuka sent the photo, Asano Makoto first saved it to the private folder on his phone as usual, and then began to carefully appreciate it.
In the photo, Konno Yuka is sitting in the back seat of the car, dressed casually and lazily. It looks like she has just finished work and is preparing to return to her residence.
It is now the end of September, and it is already dusk in Japan at 5:00 PM, so the light in the car does not look very good, and it is a little dim.
However, the dim yellow sunlight shines on her through the car window, adding a bit of hazy beauty to her.
Because the work has ended, and she doesn't need to maintain the delicate appearance exclusive to models, she casually tied her gray long hair into a low ponytail, and the air bangs half-covered her delicate and fair forehead, looking very lazy.
However, in Asano Makoto's opinion, this seemingly casual hairstyle still reveals her little thoughts.
After all, whose ponytail that is casually tied up has strands of hair that are not messy and look exceptionally smooth?
