In the end, Mitsuko could not escape Shiroko's punishnt.
Reaching out his right hand to gently smooth the beauty's furrowed brows, Shiroko smiled and planted a soft kiss.
Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this Councilor Takashiro..."
A mont later, everything was settled. Looking at the balance of just over five thousand on his attribute panel, he couldn't help but want to go on a good spending spree.
After so thought, he finally spent 2400 Salvation Points to purchase 12 Purple Lightning-type Devil Fruits.
Consuming them along with the four gathering dust in his inventory, he successfully broke through the level of Three Thousand Thunders to Purple Tier 6.
Three Thousand Thunders: By mastering this ability, you can transform into the Lord of Lightning, commanding thousands of thunderbolts for your use (Current stage is Purple Tier 6, can be enhanced up to Chromatic tier).
Skill 1, Lightning Escape: Activate the ability to transform your body into a bolt of lightning. Duration: 18 seconds.
Skill 2, Thunderbird: Summon thirty thunderbirds to attack the enemy.
Skill 3, Lightning Cage: Activate the ability to form a 4.5 by 4.5 lightning cage to control the enemy. Duration: one minute and forty seconds.
He then purchased two bottles of Tier 4 Gene Potion.
After consuming them, all four of his main attributes surged by 40 points.
And the system's assessnt of his strength finally reached Tier 4 High Stage:
Na: Shiroko Age: 19 Physique: 167 Strength: 168 Spirit: 180 Speed: 169 Appearance: 93 Number of Goddesses: 7 Talents: Indestructible Body (Purple), Diamond Kidney (Purple), *Unfalling Spear (Purple), Rapid Recovery (Purple), Photographic mory (Green) Skills: Eye of Investigation, Armant Haki (Purple), Six Powers (Purple), Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin (Purple), Eight Maidens (Blue) Abilities: Three Thousand Thunders (Purple Tier 6), Sea King (Blue Tier 1), Lord of Flas (Blue Tier 3), Whisper of the Wind (Blue Tier 3) Items: Goddess Record, Chain of Protection (Blue), Thunder Blade (Blue), Whirlwind Sword (Blue), Spirit Annihilation Gun (Blue) Salvation Points: 1330 Comprehensive Strength Assessnt: Tier 4 High Stage
Faced with the remaining balance of just over a thousand, a black and a white miniature figure appeared in front of Shiroko's mind's eye.
The white figure suggested he save it for ergencies.
The black figure suggested the exact opposite, urging him to use it for the lottery draw.
After all, this small amount wouldn't increase his strength much, so he might as well take a gamble.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. A gamble could turn a bicycle into a sports car.
He might just hit the jackpot!
To this, Shiroko agreed: 'Makes sense!'
As items were drawn one by one, Shiroko's expression went from initial delight to utter despair.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have listened to the devil on his shoulder. Gamblers always end up losing the house.
Just as he was about to cordially greet the figure's entire family tree, a dazzling golden light suddenly materialized before him.
"Holy crap! A golden legend! I knew you could do it, listening to you was the right choice after all!"
The black figure was left speechless.
Ignoring the figure's thoughts, Shiroko hurriedly checked the attributes of this golden legend:
Na: Hundred Demons Record Category: Wondrous Item Tier: Gold Effect: Can seal unresisting demons and monsters within it. They can be summoned during combat and commanded to fight against enemies. Description: The ultimate treasure of an immortal cultivation sect in a certain world.
Looking at the pitch-black Hundred Demons Record depicted with various demons, Shiroko couldn't help but drool with joy.
To think he could draw such a powerful item from casual pulls. Sure enough, the system still loved him.
The system bead with pride.
A mont later, wiping the drool from his mouth and admiring it thoroughly, Shiroko placed it into his portable space, replacing the original position of the Thunder Blade.
Thunder Blade: 'So love really does fade, doesn't it? Boohoo.'
Having sorted all this out, he looked at the last two items. When he saw one of them, his brow twitched slightly, and a sowhat inexplicable gleam flashed in his eyes.
Early the next morning, just as Sugimoto Ichiro arrived at the company, he received a report from Kashiwagi Ayano: "Chairman, our group's stock has already plumted by seventeen percent. Should we..."
Faced with her suggestion, Sugimoto Ichiro gently waved his hand. "It is fine! We will pull through this!"
"But..."
Hearing this, Kashiwagi Ayano's beautiful eyes filled with worry. The group was currently under heavy financial sniper attacks, and their internal funds were severely lacking.
She truly couldn't think of any other way to save the group.
"Ayano, go back to your work for now. Tell everyone not to worry, we will be fine!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although she really wanted to know where his confidence ca from, Kashiwagi Ayano strictly adhered to her duties as a secretary.
After a slight nod, she slowly departed.
Watching her back until she completely disappeared, Sugimoto Ichiro muttered softly, "Hanyu Group, please do not disappoint !"
Facts proved that the Hanyu Group was absolutely reliable.
Half an hour later, Kashiwagi Ayano hurried back in, her face full of joy. "Chairman, the initial sniper attacks have stopped, and our group's stock is rebounding."
"Mhm! I know. Notify everyone not to let their guard down, in case the opponent counterattacks."
"And tell everyone that once we are past this busy period, I will treat them all to a hot spring trip!"
"Yes, sir!"
Once she left, Sugimoto Ichiro looked at the girl beside him who had remained silent the entire ti. "Shoko, do you now understand why Grandpa insists you date Hanyu Yuichi? If we can form a deeper bond with the Hanyu Group..."
"...then their connections can be used by us. When that ti cos, the revival of the Sugimoto Family will be unstoppable."
"I understand!"
Hearing this, Sugimoto Shoko nodded slightly.
Little did he know, these words completely provoked the young girl's rebellious psychology.
'Why should the revival of the Sugimoto Family be forced upon , a re girl?'
'Why should I have to pay the price for your ambitions?'
'Why?!'
One could only say that Sugimoto Ichiro had usually spoiled her far too much.
To think she didn't even understand the simple truth that heavy is the head that wears the crown. It was truly sowhat pathetic!
