Professional Old Driver
As dusk fell and the sun set, Fujino drove back home from the Suzuki family.
"We've made a fortune this time..."
Fujino pushed open the bedroom door and plopped down on the sofa.
This mission to protect the Black Star was different from regular missions. After the mission was agreed upon, Suzuki Tomoko paid the full amount of the commission fee immediately.
Originally, Fujino wanted to stick to his professional ethics, but after seeing the black card swiped on the POS machine and hearing the pleasant sound of five million yen in cash arriving, Fujino simply gave up.
The Suzuki family cannot be understood by ordinary standards; five million is nothing to them.
"With millions of yen coming in so easily, I guess it won't be long before I reach the pinnacle of my life."
Thinking it over, Fujino sighed, "If only all clients were as wealthy and powerful as the Suzuki family."
Since coming into this world, he seems to have never had such a comfortable life as he does now.
All of this is thanks to the Suzuki family.
As the saying goes, the more money you dare to spend, the more power you have.
Fujino felt that the Suzuki family was very powerful.
The detective is offering five million, so if I were to marry into the family... I wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Putting his thoughts aside, Fujino opened the system interface and began to ponder how to spend this huge sum of money.
It's definitely not feasible to go all in on the lottery. If we throw in two or three million and don't get anything good, then we'll just have to send it away.
After a moment's thought, Fujino remembered his Pocket Dimension.
His Pocket Dimension is now a one-meter cube, and after using it for so long, he vaguely feels that it is not enough.
After all, he had thrown all sorts of miscellaneous things into his Pocket Dimension.
"Let's upgrade our Pocket Dimension while we still have the money."
After a pause, Fujino turned his gaze to the upgrade interface of his Pocket Dimension:
[Small Portable Space: Allows you to store items at any time. Current size: 1x1x1m. Note: Upgradeable. Current upgrade cost: 2.5 million yen.]
"Two and a half million?"
Looking at the upgrade cost on the system interface, Fujino murmured, "With my current financial situation, an upgrade should be enough..."
After pondering for a moment, Fujino had an idea and upgraded his Pocket Dimension:
[Two million two hundred and fifty thousand yen have already been consumed for the host]
[Pocket Dimension Upgrade Complete]
[Small Portable Space: Allows you to store items at any time. Current size: 2x2x2m. Note: Upgradeable. Current upgrade cost: 5 million yen.]
Current balance: 3.8 million yen
"Two meters?"
Fujino stared at the size of the upgraded system space and asked in surprise.
The last upgrade was from 0.5 to 1, and now it's from 1 to 2. It seems that each upgrade of the system space will probably increase the length of each edge.
The price, however, will double compared to the previous one.
That's hilarious.
"Upgrades now cost five million, so the next upgrade will probably cost ten million?"
Fujino shook his head. "The gold-attribute properties of golden items are indeed influenced by the system."
"However, compared to the money spent, the results are still quite worthwhile. The two-meter cube space is enough to put my motorcycle."
"Being able to take out the motorcycle anytime, anywhere makes some things feasible and makes doing some things much more convenient."
Immediately, Fujino turned his attention to the Profession Ball lottery interface.
With 3.8 million, one could roughly spend 3.6 million to draw forty times.
However, not all of the 3.6 million can be spent.
The system's Profession Ball is a major spender.
Even when you have some cash on hand, you should still keep some for emergencies.
After all, daily expenses like refueling a car, food, clothing, and transportation all cost money.
"Let's try thirty times first."
After a moment's thought, Fujino made a decision.
He stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards Yantai.
He took out three Zhonghua brand cigarettes, bowed in the direction opposite the balcony as usual, and then started drawing the system's Profession Ball.
Two million seven hundred thousand, draw!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Purple Profession Card (Professional Driver), Blue Light Blocking Glasses (Blue), Bat Dart x5 (Blue), Strength 100% Enhancement Card x6, Reaction Ability 100% Enhancement Card x6, Cream Pudding x3, 100,000 Yen x5, Pink Children's Clothing x1, Bulletproof Backpack x1.]
Current balance: 1.6 million yen
"A seasoned Old Driver?"
Immediately, Fujino opened the system's job interface and began to examine the newly acquired Pilot Profession skills:
[New Secondary Profession:]
Driver: Beginner (0-100)
Professional skills:
Old Driver (basic driving skills)
Overclocked Old Driver:
(Beginner Overclocking: Actively grants vehicles an overclocking speed effect, currently overclocked by 50%)
(Primary Time: Duration of Active Overclocking Effect, currently 1 minute)
"Fifty percent overclocking, and basic knowledge of vehicle driving?"
Fujino sized up the Old Driver's professional skills and rubbed his chin.
To be honest, even he was a little confused about this basic driving skill.
"Driving, I guess it means driving a car or a motorcycle, right?"
"However, the system didn't specifically mention what it can pilot, so does that mean the skill can also pilot airplanes or ships...? If it's going to be even more outrageous, wouldn't it mean it can even pilot Gundams?"
"As expected of Old Driver, this skill is truly insane; he can drive any car."
After guessing the teacher's job skills incorrectly, Fujino turned his attention to the other low-quality items he had obtained from this lottery:
[Blue Light Blocking Glasses: Prevent discomfort to the eyes caused by various reasons; regardless of flash or blue light, the host's eyes are the most precious asset.]
"Perhaps, this thing can be used to deal with that Kuroba Kaito?"
Fujino glanced at the item description, his eyes narrowing slightly.
With these glasses, he was no longer afraid of Kaito Kid's flashbangs.
Unfortunately, this device overlaps with the position of the Vision Enhancement Glasses, so the overlay effect cannot be used together...
"The host has been detected to have exchanged 210 Profession Ball. The exchange for Intermediate Profession Ball is now open. The current price of Intermediate Profession Ball is 1 million yen."
Just then, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
Fujino paused for a moment upon hearing the sound, then immediately opened the exchange interface for Profession Ball.
As soon as he opened the Profession Ball interface, he saw that next to the Profession Ball that could be exchanged for 100,000 yen each time, there was now an interface for exchanging Intermediate Profession Ball.
The price for exchanging Intermediate Profession Ball is one million per exchange.
"Exchange for Intermediate Profession Ball?"
Fujino looked at the exchange interface for the Intermediate Profession Ball, looking somewhat puzzled. "Since it's intermediate, it should be better than the regular Profession Ball... But one million yen is still a bit expensive. At least I can't afford it right now..."
