Too Little-Need More Money
Come to think of it, he didn't sleep at all last night.
With this skill, he can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
Putting his thoughts aside, Fujino immediately began to advance his career path as a student.
He now has two points... Student Career Points.
Let's upgrade everything to Student Discount.
[Congratulations, host Student Discount level has been upgraded: currently at level five]
[Student Discount: Level 5 (In-system discount 11%, Actual discount 11%)]
"???"
"Are you kidding me?"
Fujino glanced at the decimal point of the Student Discount and couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Good grief, now there's even a decimal point...
And didn't he get promoted twice?
Why is it only 11% off?
After a moment's thought, Fujino noticed the system's wordplay.
The Student Discount has become a discount for students who are academically challenged; what was originally a discount within the system and in reality is now divided into two.
There is only one truth!
If he wasn't mistaken, this dog system was probably just a reskinned version of the original skills, and then there was a skill adjustment that changed the original all-around improvement into a single-item improvement.
It has a certain whiff of something.
After thinking for a while, Fujino felt relieved.
This dog system has realized that he's gone too far in exploiting people.
If it were to offer a 50% discount like before, this skill would probably become a free skill in no time.
In that case, it would really be like I'm a student, and they'd have to pay me back another fifty yuan for nothing.
Clearly, this goes against the pay-to-win style of the game.
"I wonder what skills a professional Swordsman Profession can gain by leveling up."
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino turned his gaze back to the option of upgrading the Swordsman Profession, and shook his head. "But after upgrading the college student class, the remaining 2.26 million won isn't enough to upgrade the Swordsman Profession."
"Looks like I'll have to find a way to earn some extra money..."
After a moment's thought, Fujino came up with a new way to make money.
Selling information!
He recalled that he had earned two million yen from betraying Ikeda Chikako last time.
I wonder how much money we can get from selling the information on those two bastards from Haido Elementary School this time.
If his guess is correct, the Metropolitan Police Department should not have revealed the details of this case yet.
This information could probably fetch a lot of money if sold.
Moreover, it can also push those two beasts into the eye of the storm of public opinion.
Kill two birds with one stone!
After washing up, Fujino left the Konoha Kendo Hall.
After finding a public phone booth, he walked into a nearby alley.
When he reappeared, he had become the Beika Batman.
Entering the phone booth, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Goto, the newspaper reporter who had betrayed Ikeda Chikako Goto time.
He had considered other reporters as well.
But Goto has already been traded once, is clearly much more reliable.
Moreover, it seems that Goto has now been promoted to editor-in-chief.
Perhaps he'll be willing to offer more Mane in exchange for the deal Fujino offers.
Aside from the fact that monetary transactions are reliable.
As a futuristic journalist who exaggerates facts, Goto does have some merit in shaping public opinion.
For example, he can use existing evidence to steer public opinion toward a non-existent goal.
This kind of skill is something only an expert who has been working in the news industry for many years and has been deeply involved in the field can achieve.
If he were to go into public relations, he'd at least be at the level of mentoring senior colleagues.
Although doing so is indeed somewhat unethical, and even has a hint of despicable and unscrupulous behavior.
But it also depends on the person.
If it were him, he would definitely sneak out at night, drag him out, hang him on a lamppost, and beat him up severely with Wooden Sword.
But if such a shameless act were done to those two beasts, it would seem far more noble.
There will always be beneficiaries and victims in the shaping of public opinion. The nobility or baseness of the power of public opinion is simply a matter of who the beneficiaries and victims are.
Late at night, in an alley in Beika Town 1-chome.
A man dressed in a brown suit, wearing a blue tie, black-rimmed glasses, and carrying a black briefcase paced back and forth in the alley, waiting.
The man was none other than Goto, who had made a deal with Fujino Goto.
"I wonder what Beika Batman will bring this time."
Goto raised his rather expensive-looking watch, glancing at the time on it, and couldn't help but think this.
Because of his merit in exposing Ikeda Chikako's affairs last time, he was recently promoted to the position of editor-in-chief at the newspaper.
Originally, after such a long period of no contact, he thought that Beika Batman would have nothing to do with him anymore.
But this afternoon, Beika Batman called him again.
It is said that there is a bombshell revelation about the attack on a teacher at Haido Elementary School that he is going to make a deal.
Without much thought, he quickly applied for 1.5 million yen in activity funds and rushed over.
"Goto?"
Fujino, dressed in Assassin's Robe and wearing a bat mask, entered the alley.
"Batman?"
Goto turned around and saw Fujino wearing Batman Mask, who had suddenly appeared behind him.
Looking at Fujino's different outfit from last time, he was stunned and showed a surprised expression.
"You're the editor-in-chief now."
Fujino glanced at the expensive watch on Goto's wrist.
"It's all thanks to the information you provided last time."
Goto scratched the back of his head and subconsciously hid his watch.
"I was very satisfied with your payment and coverage last time."
Fujino slowly stepped forward. "I just don't know how much you can offer as compensation."
"I have the money ready."
Goto picked up his black briefcase. "One million five hundred thousand yen."
"One and a half million?"
Fujino twitched his chin.
He currently has 2.26 million yen on hand.
If we add 1.5 million, that's 3.7 million yen. After deducting the 2.67 million yen needed for the upgrade, we'll actually only have 1.09 million yen left.
After a moment's thought, Fujino said in a deep voice, "1.5 million yen is a bit too little, we need to add more money."
"One million and a half million yen. That's the most the newspaper can approve for this report."
After a pause, seeing Fujino's hesitant expression, Goto immediately increased his offer. "However, if you, Mr. Batman, sell me more information in the future, I can personally add another 500,000 yen..."
Beika Batman was his benefactor.
He was able to get to where he is today entirely thanks to the intelligence provided by the other party.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity, then it's obvious that the other party will never do business with him again.
Besides creating a good impression for future transactions.
He was genuinely willing to personally contribute an additional 500,000 yuan to this report.
The report of the Haido Elementary School teacher being seriously injured by the Beika Batman has not yet been written.
With his keen sense of smell, he had already noticed this matter.
However, due to the police's refusal to release any information and pressure from some individuals, he has not yet uncovered any newsworthy details.
But if we get help from Beika Batman, the person directly involved...
Obviously, he would be the first person to report on this incident.
"Can."
Fujino nodded, but did not offer any further compensation.
