Chapter 138
After sending two sweating emojis, Kanzaki stopped sending messages.
Clearly, the other side had long been accustomed to Aragaki Shun's way of doing things and had become too lazy to complain anymore.
Approving of his assistant's work ethic, Aragaki Shun chuckled as he put away his phone and patted the curious head of Yamamura Miki beside him.
"What, are you bothered by it?"
"That number is 85 million, right?" Yamamura Miki clicked her tongue. "Although I had expected it a few days ago, seeing so many Private Points still feels a bit unbelievable."
Sakura Airi on the other side nodded in agreement. Even someone like her, who was on the fringes of her age group, could fully understand what so many Private Points represented in Advanced Nurturing.
This means he can transfer to any class at any time.
This means that even if he submits a blank paper for the midterm or final exam, he can still buy a perfect score.
This means that even if he seriously violates school rules, he can offset at least four expulsion penalties in a row.
This further means that he can buy everything that others want but cannot obtain.
In addition, these points can be used to hire anyone to do things for him.
As long as you don't waste them too much, with so many Private Points, you could totally do whatever you want in this school, right?
However, Aragaki is the most dazzling person in Advanced Nurturing, and with such unfair strength, it seems only natural that he could do this.
With sparkle in her eyes, Sakura Airi was genuinely happy for Aragaki Shun; this was more gratifying than her own achievement of gaining Private Points.
"Hehe~ If the school hadn't been so generous, I wouldn't have been able to gain so much from a single Special Exam."
Stretching, Aragaki Shun didn't think it was anything to boast about.
In order to gain some free time as soon as possible to concentrate his talent, he deliberately pretended to be a little sleepy and pulled the two of them away from the stern deck.
"Alright, it's already past 11 p. m. If it weren't for waiting for an email from the school, I should have been back in my room to sleep by now."
"Let's go back. We need to get up early tomorrow to continue having fun. We're going back to school in two days, so we must experience all the facilities on the cruise ship before then."
After escorting Yamamura Miki and Sakura Airi back to their respective rooms, Aragaki Shun finally had time to check the changes on his Personal Panel.
[Achievement Completed: Community of Destiny (Yamamura Miki), your connection to this world has increased, Source Power +1.]
[Achievement Completed: Victory Upon Victory! Another victory in the class competition, Source Power +3.]
[Achievement Completed: Set a record by obtaining over 80 million Private Points in the VIP Exam, Source Power +5.]
[Complete Achievement: Establish Domination, Rebuild Order in Class C and Class D, Completely Control Both Classes, Source Power +3.]
[Achievement Completed: Master of Poaching, poached four talented students from Class B in one go, Source Power +4.]
[Source Power: 23→39 (Current efficiency: 5 per month)]
Seeing the information that appeared on the panel, Aragaki Shun realized that he had actually done quite a lot in the past few days.
The achievement of "[Community of Destiny]" is automatically completed simply by winning over a cute girl.
[Victory Upon Victory] Similarly, this is an achievement that can be accomplished by leading the class to victory in every Special Exam.
The other three achievements were obtained incidentally during this VIP Exam.
It is known that 28 units of Source Power are required to condense [Sun Kin].
There are currently 39 Source Power on the panel, 29 of which can be freely used under the current circumstances.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his inner excitement, Aragaki Shun no longer hesitated.

[Sun Kin lv.0 (0/?) → Sun Kin lv.0 (0/1)]
[Source Power: 39 → 11 (Current efficiency: 5 per month)]
As his Source Power was consumed like flowing water, Aragaki Shun closed his eyes slightly, but could feel a strange current surging within his body.
From the external limbs and skin to the internal flesh, bones, and even invisible cells and genes, the boy's entire body began to tremble, and a tingling sensation mixed with intense pain began to assault his brain.
"Hmph~" Biting his lip, Aragaki Shun forced himself to concentrate, trying to find the source of this change.
As expected, nothing was gained, but his extraordinary mental attributes still came into play. As his attention shifted, the intense pain that swept through his entire body finally subsided considerably.
After about four or five minutes, the special energy flow that had been surging within the boy's body finally subsided completely.
Aragaki Shun breathed a sigh of relief, then touched his hands and realized that his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
Frowning as he stared at the new talents on the panel, the newly transformed cheater fell into thought.
In the past, no matter what talents or skills he enhanced, this strange phenomenon never occurred.
Normally, as long as you invest enough Source Power and then wait patiently for the changes to happen, you'll be fine. He has never encountered a situation like today's, where he is experiencing excruciating pain all over his body due to enhancement.
Furthermore, despite investing so much Source Power, [Sun Kin]'s level is still only lv.0... Judging from this situation, previously, the talent was simply solidified on the Personal Panel, giving him the corresponding aptitude, but there was no initial level at all.
From nothing to something...
Aragaki Shun roughly understands his current situation!
If nothing unexpected happens, there's a 99% chance he'll be found out he's not human, or at least not from this world!
What human being on Earth can absorb solar energy directly through their physical body like a plant?
If he were to report himself, falsely claiming to be a vanguard spy sent by an alien civilization, perhaps no one would be able to expose him.
Therefore, before fully entering the realm of the extraordinary, it's still necessary to stay away from hospital checkups.
Fortunately, he possesses the talents of being Immunity to Poison and Immunity to Disease. Given his current physical condition, even if he were to go to the hospital, it would only be to visit someone in need, not to seek treatment.
Or rather, if there is any danger that even his talents cannot withstand, then going to the hospital would be absolutely pointless.
Silently sensing the changes in his body, and once his energy, depleted from the intense pain, had recovered, Aragaki Shun used the last of his freely controllable Source Power.
[Sun Kin lv.0 (0/1) → Sun Kin lv.1 (0/2)]
[Source Power: 11 → 10 (Current efficiency: 5 per month)]
Somewhat surprisingly, he had thought that his talent might undergo drastic changes from zero to basic, and he was prepared to endure the excruciating pain, like being cut with a knife.
In fact, nothing happened at all; everything remained calm and peaceful as always.
From this perspective, the difference between having the corresponding qualifications and not having them is quite significant.
One is about creating something from nothing, and the other is about going from low to high. Once his talent was solidified, he had already obtained this extraordinary foundation. All he needed to do afterward was to gradually strengthen and complete it.
However, perhaps because it was still late at night, although Aragaki Shun could confirm the changes happening inside his body, he did not feel any further improvement from them.
After all, being a [Sun Kin], it naturally needs direct sunlight to maximize the effectiveness of its talents.
With that in mind, Aragaki Shun decided not to sleep and instead gazed at the night sky from the deck of the cruise ship.
He must test it himself to determine the exact time when his talent will activate and its corresponding effects.
With his physical condition, he could go three to five days without sleep without any problem, so staying up all night was nothing to him.
So, starting at midnight, Aragaki Shun explored the changes in his body little by little until sunrise at five in the morning. Feeling the energy and physical strength automatically replenishing within him, the boy comfortably squinted his eyes.
The Huainanzi states. "Those who eat meat are brave and fierce, those who eat grains are wise and skillful, those who eat qi are divine and long-lived, and those who do not eat are immortal and divine."
Given his current extraordinary abilities, it's unclear whether he has entered the ranks of Qi Eaters.
But one thing is certain: as long as he can absorb enough sunlight during the day, he can indeed go without meat or grain and survive the next few days on an empty stomach.
As noon approached, Aragaki Shun could feel that his efficiency in absorbing and converting sunlight was increasing.
What's even more surprising is that [Gluttony], which has already been upgraded to level 5, seems to be able to be used in combination with [Sun Kin].
No matter how much solar energy he absorbs from the outside world, he can quickly digest it with the help of [Gluttony], without worrying about wasting it.
By noon, with the blazing sun shining brightly in the sky, the effect of [Sun Kin] naturally reached its limit, Aragaki Shun finally entered an unprecedented peak state.
Whether it's the four basic attributes of strength, constitution, agility, and spirit, or the two major areas of skills and talents, they all seem to have entered a state of perfection, capable of exhibiting the best theoretical effects.
A surge of pride welled up within him; had it not been for reason, the young man would have shouted, "Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"
Even without uttering those words, it seems some of the influence still spread?
"Slurp~ Aragaki-kun, you seem to have gotten so much more handsome?"
Shiranami Chihiro wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth after not seeing her lover when she woke up in the morning.
Ugh, that's a bit embarrassing.
But Aragaki-kun smells so good, especially under the sunlight. His profile looks like it's been given a gilded effect, both sacred and noble, making it impossible to look away.
"... While I don't mind being a little intimate with my girlfriend, there are other people around in public, not just the two of us."
With a hint of helplessness, he poked Chihiro's forehead, signaling the girl to be more reserved.
In order to increase the area exposed to sunlight, Aragaki Shun went directly to the open-air platform on the top floor of the cruise ship, where there were quite a few people sitting around tables drinking juice.
"But I really can't stand it," Shiranami Chihiro pouted, asking her friends on either side, "Xiao Mei, Yume, and Asako should understand, right?"
"Chihiro is right." Wang Meiyu blushed and lowered her head, but quickly looked back at him reluctantly.
"Haha~ Class monitor, do you have some special beauty secrets?" Kobashi Yume asked excitedly, and even cautiously reached out to touch the boy's face, then exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's actually without makeup!"
"I lost..." Amikura Mako looked somewhat unwilling, repeatedly looking away and then unable to resist looking back.
Under the midday sun, even a hidden attribute like charm is boosted to its optimal state?
Aragaki Shun was somewhat speechless, but didn't see anything wrong with it.
Three minutes later, a tall, blond man arrived on the rooftop.
"Hahaha~ How beautiful! How noble! It truly stirs the heart and ignites the blood!"
"Aragaki boy, your beauty is like Apollo from mythology. Want to go for a swim with me?"
Feeling the burning gaze emanating from the man, and hearing that invitation that sounded off, Aragaki Shun got goosebumps.
Black lines appeared on his forehead, and he kicked it away without any politeness.
"Go yourself! Get the hell out of here!"
208. The Turmoil After Returning to School; Sakayanagi Arisu's Future
When he was exercising before, Aragaki Shun once heard a saying that moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise will attract the same sex.
He initially thought it was a joke, but now, seeing Koenji Rokusuke's burning gaze, which resembled that of Nantou, the boy genuinely wanted to kick him to death.
It seems that having too much charm isn't a good thing, after all, he's not a Han Dynasty emperor, and he doesn't have a penchant for attracting both men and women.
Feeling somewhat frustrated, Aragaki Shun had no choice but to quickly run inside the cruise ship to find a spot out of the sunlight, hoping to slightly reduce the effectiveness of [Sun Kin].
Once his peak condition subsided and he no longer attracted attention because of his special aura, the Leader of Class A breathed a sigh of relief.
To soothe his own annoyed feelings, he dragged the somewhat amused Shiranami Chihiro into the bedroom and then made another phone call to summon Wang Meiyu and Yamamura Miki.
Since things have come to this, let's start a party!
After the VIP Exam were over, and upon returning to Kodo Ikusei Senior High School, the two-week Luxury Cruise Ship trip came to an end.
The next semester officially starts on September 1st, so they still have two weeks of summer vacation.
However, just like during the regular school term, all first-year students must remain within an Advanced Nurturing area during this period and are not allowed to freely enter or leave the campus.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
Before the summer vacation began, the school made a solemn promise to bring all first-year students a pleasant Luxury Cruise Ship trip, but the promise was broken, and two Special Exam were delivered instead.
In this situation, most students were exhausted.
For them, not having to go out and travel anymore and being able to stay on campus and rest is quite nice.
Moreover, if one truly has the strong desire and the ability, then leaving the school for a trip isn't actually that difficult...
"It's been two weeks, and Aragaki -kun has really accomplished something big."
On the second morning after returning to Advanced Nurturing, Aragaki Shun woke up in his school apartment after a long absence and was about to go for his usual morning run when he was stopped by someone just as he stepped out of his room.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Sakayanagi Arisu quietly leaning against the door of the next room, gesturing for him to look over with her cane.
The girl wore her signature beret, and her slender legs were encased in white stockings, giving off a magical and fleeting aura. Aside from her personality, she was definitely the cutest girl in school.
Raising an eyebrow, Aragaki Shun said in surprise:
