Chapter 1 Truck Schedule
September is approaching, but the weather is still hot, and the sun is shining down, making the cement road surface hot.
Amid the noisy sound of insects, a red and blue toy ball slipped out of the child's hands and bounced and rolled towards the road.
As it was about to jump down the road and roll into the middle of the road, a hand reached out from the side and pressed it down.
Shiraishi picked up the ball and stood up straight. A girl of six or seven years old ran over and stopped beside him.
The little girl was wearing a fluffy white gauze skirt that was above the knee, tied with a low ponytail, and a lace hairpin on her temples, dressed like a little princess.
But she was unconscious of her appearance. Her little hand, who had just slapped the ball, was nervously pulling the hem of her skirt, leaving a few black handprints on it.
After pulling for a while, she raised her head and looked at Shiraishi's hand: "Brother, that's my ball."
Shiraishi looked at her and handed the ball back to her.
At this time, a truck suddenly turned out from the fork, and the tires grinded out of the harsh creaking sound, rubbing the curb that was only one meter away from the two, and leaving with a bang.
The girl was startled by the huge movement, her hands trembled, and the ball almost fell back to the ground.
Shiraishi held her hand and turned her shoulders in a direction: "Just play with the ball and go into the park and don't sway at the door. It's very dangerous, do you know?"
The girl nodded in a daze, muttered and thanked her, and ran away quickly with the ball in her arms.
Shiraishi didn't care about her anymore. He walked under the shade of the tree, found a bench and sat down, staring at the air ahead for two seconds.
Brush-
A 15.6-inch translucent light screen floated and unfolded in front of his eyes.
A couple happened to pass by in front of Shiraishi, but they leaned against each other, staring at each other without squinting. They neither heard the sound effects on him nor saw any abnormalities.
As expected, only I could see... Shiraishi retracted the sight of the passers-by and looked at the screen again.
At first glance, this interface looks like a 3D game with a rough style.
At the center of the screen, there is a stickman with thin arms and legs. The small words on the top of his head are marked with "White Stone". The surroundings are modeled nearby street scenes, which are scaled in a uniform manner, and are staggered.
In addition, like most game interfaces, the name, blood bar and status of Shiraishi hanging in the upper left corner.
The blood bar and condition were all normal. Shiraishi took a look and moved away his gaze, then turned to the "task bar" floating on the right.
A message hangs inside:
[Save the naughty kid who only watches football but not the road x1][Completed]
This was triggered when he just came over and was still confused. The trigger method was to take a few steps casually.
——Yes, he landed at the entrance of the park. In other words, if all this was a game, then the bench sitting under his butt was his "birth point".
When I first saw the mission, Shiraishi had no idea. He happened to see a ball jumping into the middle of the road, so he stopped it. Unexpectedly, he accidentally got it done...
Click on the task marked [Completed], the box expands, and the reward is displayed below:
【10,000 yen】
This reward is too real... Please be sure to give more in the future.
Click to collect, and a slight abnormal movement will be heard in your pocket immediately.
Shiraishi reached in and touched it, and unexpectedly took out a piece of paper money from his pocket.
Very well, after landing for 3 minutes, he successfully got rid of his penniless state.
The money is not too much, but Shiraishi just picked up a ball casually. Thinking of this, this thing that calls itself a "good guy system" is quite generous.
But he didn't even give a newcomer guidance. So what should he do next? Shiraish leaned against the bench and looked up at the sunlight falling from the gap in the shade of the tree, slightly confused.
In the real world, he is almost disabled even if he is not dead. According to the regulations given by the system before traveling through time, he has to save 9999 people before he can apply for a safe return with his golden finger.
...So many people, stacked together, are enough to break through the atmospheric troposphere, and no matter how you think about it, you can't handle it in a few days or months.
And if you want to settle in this new world where Japanese is spoken everywhere, this amount of money is definitely not enough.
Is it possible that I can only sleep in the park before receiving more tasks...
After a while of worry, Shiraishi took a deep breath and stood up decisively.
If you sit at the birth point, your money will not fall from the sky.
You have to take the initiative and go around for a few more laps - what if you encounter a new mission.
Having said that, Shiraishi knew in her heart that a peaceful world, an ordinary person, actually doesn’t have so many opportunities to encounter dead people.
The little girl just now may be the benefit given by the system. It is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Shiraishi had been prepared to go around for a day without getting anything. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out more than ten meters, a reminder sound like raindrops entering the water came from his ear.
He opened the light screen in surprise and saw that there was actually one more task on the taskbar:
【Save the infatuated girl who went astray x1;
Save the passionate man who was beheaded x1]
【Open countdown 0:16:15】
[Recommended prop 1: Dorobiga Paradise VIP ticket 0/1]
[Recommended props 2: [Production...]]
[Task Location: Dorobega Paradise, roller coaster project, second row left seat [map]]
…Save two at a time?
In addition, the task instructions have also become longer.
In the first task, there is no information such as countdown recommendation props task location, just a bare title.
In this case, there will be more rewards in comparison.
I stopped and thought for a moment, then looked up again, and the countdown became the beginning of 15 minutes.
Shiraishi stuttered in his heart, not daring to delay any more, and clicked on the [map] in the mission. After confirming that the location was nearby, he closed the map again, turned his head and looked for the location of the amusement park with his naked eyes.
——This place is really easy to find. Whether it is a Ferris wheel or a flying mouse that soars into the sky, it stands out like a crowd in this area without a high building of more than six floors.
The amusement park is two streets away. Bai Shi rushed over all the way, and when he arrived, he looked at the countdown with sweat from his forehead.
Very good, nine minutes left.
Looking further into the park, it was even better. The roller coaster was also very affordable, so it was located nearest to the gate.
However, when his eyes fell on the long queue of winding and turning several routes, Bai Shi's eyes turned black.
...There are too many people! Is it a carousel that is not fun or a fairy tale castle that is not fragrant enough, why do you torture yourself like this!
No matter how much you complain, you must find a way to do the task.
Shiraishi recalled the "Dorobiga Paradise VIP Ticket" among the recommended props and walked quickly to the ticket hall.
There were also queues in the ticket hall, but it was not as exaggerated as before the roller coaster.
Shiraishi was standing by, looking at the signboards in the hall, and learned some basic information.
This amusement park is free to enter, but there is a separate charging point before each project.
Although there is a ticket hall at the entrance, only package tickets are sold inside. For those who are only keen on a few projects, it is more cost-effective to buy tickets separately from the project.
In addition, a fast ticket is also sold here, which allows tourists to avoid queueing and take the amusement facilities directly, with a 2-hour time limit and 8 items skipping queues.
I looked at the price of the set meal again, 9,500 yen. Shiraishi understood.
These are definitely all calculated by the system. No wonder they gave a simple newcomer task as soon as they came up. The money they just earned was not warmed up yet, so they were about to be emptied...
The pain is so painful. Thinking of the countdown to the exact task and the strict requirements for seats, and thinking about the inhumane queue before the roller coaster, Shiraishi could only queue up to be slaughtered honestly.
After a while, Shiraishi finally arrived at the window. There was no problem with the ticket purchase process because the system gave an additional language skill - Japanese proficiency is equivalent to the native language. This is really a conscientious move that looks rustic but is actually very useful.
When I held the ticket and ran all the way to the roller coaster project, there was still 1 minute and 03 seconds left.
Now, looking at the crooked long queue, the experience is different. This sky-high ticket package was finally not in vain.
As he stepped from the fast lane into the platform, the whistling roller coaster ahead turned over the last zigzag track, slipped into the stable area, and slowly stopped on the platform.
Shiraishi took the time to glance at the screen. When the roller coaster stopped, the countdown was just right to zero.
Chapter completed!
