Miss Youzi Has a Bold and Feasible Idea

The crepe shop near the girls' dormitory was the agreed meeting spot with Saotome Yukina.

If Su Youzi's memory served her correctly, strawberry cream crepes, packed with calories, were a favorite among girls.

Perhaps... they were also the secret behind a girl's alluring, almost exaggerated curves.

Though not particularly tall in the game, she possessed a figure that was remarkably well-endowed, completely at odds with her pure appearance.

Her youthful, cute face had a slight baby fat quality, and she probably felt wonderful to the touch.

In that character illustration called "Ruojian."

Saotome Yukina, dressed in a sailor uniform, stood with her hands behind her back, tiptoeing slightly and leaning forward.

She embodied the phrase "poised to burst forth" to its absolute extreme.

Her smile, as she gently pursed her lips, was shy and soft, her eyes curving into bright arcs.

Coupled with Saotome Yukina's obedient, clingy, and docile personality.

Su Youzi could only say... as the easiest-to-obtain first 5-star Operator, whether for developing her as a healer in the team or increasing her affinity for those critical CGs, cultivating Saotome Yukina was absolutely worth the investment.

Sitting at a round table by the crepe shop's street-facing counter, Su Youzi watched the girl bouncing and skipping towards her like a little bunny that might hop out at any second. A wicked, slow grin spread across her lips.

Saotome Yukina suddenly shivered.

The little bunny couldn't bounce anymore.

She looked in Su Youzi's direction.

The senior student sitting at the street corner wore a dark brown hoodie that subtly accentuated her figure, paired with hot pants.

Her short black hair was cut just above her shoulders.

Her neat short hair and lips with a clear gloss gave her a decisive look.

The senior had one foot resting on the edge of her stool, hands clasped around her knees, her head resting on them. She was watching her with a very amused smile.

Just being stared at by those crimson eyes gave Saotome Yukina the illusion of being bullied.

She hesitated to meet Su Youzi's gaze directly. The girl slowly shuffled her feet, bowing almost frantically towards Su Youzi.

"Su..."

"Senior Su!!!"

As Saotome Yukina's voice fell, a familiar robotic female voice sounded in Su Youzi's ear.

[Ding--]
[Congratulations on unlocking the achievement: First Encounter.]
[Congratulations on unlocking the achievement: First Operator Search.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Operator: Saotome Yukina.]
[You can set the assistant to: Saotome Yukina (Ruojian).]

So, she had unlocked an Operator just like that?

Su Youzi raised an eyebrow slightly.

[Congratulations on completing the quest: Sign a Contract with an Operator.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Beginner Combat Record.]
[Ding--]
[New quest obtained.]
[Part 2: You have successfully signed a contract with an Operator. Now, try to cultivate your Operator.]
[Quest Reward: Newbie Tenfold Recruitment Voucher.]

A small, black card with gold lettering appeared before Su Youzi.

Suppressing the surge of emotion within her, Su Youzi looked at the girl in the sailor uniform bowing before her.

From this angle...

It showcased the girl's youthful allure to its fullest.

[Ding--]
[First Encounter: Saotome Yukina Affinity +1.]
[Received Affinity Increase Reward: Training Combat Gloves *1.]

When Saotome Yukina looked up again, the scrutinizing gaze that had been on the senior's face was gone.

While she wasn't exactly 'kind and approachable'.

But... the smile of a villainous senior from a novel, the kind that seemed to bully others, now felt like her own hallucination.

"Sit--"

A clear, melodious voice.

Saotome Yukina sat down stiffly in front of Su Youzi.

Su Youzi played with the black card with gold lettering.

Before Saotome Yukina could speak, Su Youzi pushed the plate in front of her towards Saotome Yukina.

"Su... Senpai?"

"Strawberry cream crepe," Su Youzi said, looking at the girl's slightly flushed face. Because she had run all the way here, her clear blue eyes were veiled with a layer of mist, and her ear tips seemed to be red.

"This is the specialty of this shop."

"It's practically a signature dish in the entire Private Huiqunyuan Academy."

"Want to try it?"

Since she knew that strawberry cream crepes were the girl's favorite, why not take the opportunity to increase her affinity?

In reality, strawberry cream crepes didn't require stamina to farm affinity dungeons like in the game.

Or... require a large amount of money and time to produce.

In reality, all it took was to invite the girl to the commercial street, order a strawberry cream crepe, and that was it.

Su Youzi looked at Saotome Yukina in front of her.

When the girl saw the cream and strawberries on the crepe, her eyes seemed to light up.

One of the advantages of being a transmigrator: catering to someone's preferences.

"Th-thank you, Senpai!" She bowed deeply, her forehead almost hitting the edge of the table.

Su Youzi quickly reached out to block Saotome Yukina's forehead.

She smelled the fresh, slightly sweet yuzu scent on the girl, living up to her name.

The blush on the girl's face deepened.

[Ding--]

[Enchanting: Saotome Yukina Affinity +1.]

[Affinity Increase Reward Obtained: Cat Paw Band-aids * 2.]

Su Youzi could tell.

Most of the random rewards obtained from increasing affinity were just cheap trinkets.

However... the process of increasing affinity wasn't difficult, so getting some rewards along the way didn't matter.

What was truly important were the "Tenfold Recruitment Voucher" and the "Beginner Combat Record."

The former might allow her to obtain new Operators.

The latter... might allow her Psychokinesis, which had been stagnant for years and even made her a laughingstock, to improve.

The "Beginner Combat Record" held immense appeal for Su Youzi.

Sitting opposite Su Youzi, Saotome Yukina watched her senpai, who had retracted her hand and was smiling at her.

Saotome Yukina carefully held the crepe with both hands and took a small bite like a little bunny.

Her blue eyes seemed to shimmer with water.

[Ding--]

[Feeding Saotome Yukina successful.] While admiring the little bunny eating in front of her, Su Youzi happily flipped through her rewards.

Besides obtaining those rewards, this game system...

Indirectly... also gave Su Youzi a Storage Dimension, equivalent to what a Level 10 Space Ability User would possess.

[Feeding: Saotome Yukina Affinity +1.]

[Affinity Increase Reward Obtained: Disposable Tea Ceremony Makeup * 1.]

[Compensation for Affinity Increase Costs Obtained.]

Buzz--

As the icon for the disposable makeup appeared in the Material Warehouse, the phone beside Su Youzi's arm suddenly vibrated.

The nervous little bunny immediately raised her head, "Senpai?"

Su Youzi glanced at the information displayed on her phone screen.

"Your bank account ending in 8088 has received a deposit of--"

"112.00 yuan."

And the message above it was...

"Your bank account ending in 8088 has made a quick payment of --56.00 yuan."

This was the price of the strawberry cream crepe.

Thump-thump--

Looking at the messages on her phone and the light blue reminder in front of her, [Compensation for Affinity Increase Costs Obtained.]

Su Youzi suddenly seemed to realize something.

All the expenses I incurred to raise and increase the affinity of the girls... seem to be compensated twofold.

She stared at the little bunny in front of her, a tiny bit of cream still smudged on its lips.

Clutching the "Beginner Combat Record" in her hand.

She suddenly had a bold idea.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed the name!
