Does gravity make me stronger?

Page 170

My evaluation is primarily objective.

Come to think of it, these two look somewhat familiar.

Hachiman blinked and moved a little closer, finally getting a good look at the two thugs.

Memories immediately flooded my mind.

A month ago, he helped Xiangzi drive away two debt collectors. He never expected to meet them here again a month later.

Because of the angle, the blond thug couldn't see Hachiman for the time being, so he boldly took a step forward and said in a flippant tone.

"How about it? We'll treat you. Let's go have some fun!"

"Lixi, let's not talk to them anymore, let's go quickly."

Seeing that the other person was still rambling on, Aine was a little scared and pulled Shiina Ritsuki away.

However, Shiina Ritsuki wasn't the type to swallow his pride and suffer in silence; instead, he glared fiercely at the thug.

"Who wants to be with you two ugly freaks? Get out of here right now, or I won't let you get away with this!"

After speaking, she softened her voice and looked at Deng with concern: "Deng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Deng shook his head, indicating that he was alright.

"I love your fiery temper," the blond-haired guy taunted.

Shiina Tatsuki's fist hardened instantly.

Just as she was about to retaliate, Hachiman strolled up slowly: "Um, they are my friends, so is there something you need?"

"Where did this brat come from..."

The moment the blond-haired man saw Hachiman, his expression changed drastically, and large drops of cold sweat poured down his head.

Dead memories begin to resurface.

Another person also recognized Hachiman and whispered to his accomplice.

"Big brother, isn't this the kid from last time?"

"I'm not blind, of course I recognized it!"

"So, how about we settle the score for that arrow we shot last time?"

"Report my ass!"

In many movies and TV dramas, petty thugs are portrayed as easy targets for the protagonists, like stray dogs on the street. But in reality, most street thugs are quite intelligent.

They can tell who they can mess with and who they shouldn't.

That pink-haired girl who was just bullying others is a pushover who can be easily bullied. Even if you really put your hand on her, she would probably just let out a few weak cries.

The one who came next, with long, straight black hair, had a fiery temper; if things got really heated, a fight might break out.

As for that dead-eyed brat...

slip away.

Chapter 182, Page 179: A formidable rival – Mitsuba Hatsuka

They lost a large amount of gold coins in their first encounter, so they accepted their bad luck. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so the two of them would be more careful the second time around.

The first time, this kid prepared the transfer information in advance. This time, who knows what strange evidence he might pull out of his pocket again.

You have to understand that their hands are very dirty when they do this kind of work, which makes them hesitant and timid in their actions.

What the two envied most was the righteous and chivalrous gangster boss in the movie, who killed without blinking an eye and left no trace for miles. But back in real life, being a hoodlum is not a profession, and it's not worth making things difficult for yourself.

Therefore, with just a glance, they could instantly read each other's thoughts.

Then, the next course of action was determined instantly.

Moisturizing!

Faced with this jinx, the two thugs lost their temper. Not wanting to lose face, the blond-haired guy held back for a long time before finally squeezing out a few words: "Brother, long time no see."

【you who are you?】

"Is there anything else?" Hachiman looked over coldly, his dead fish eyes filled with the stench of rotting blood.

The two instinctively shivered.

They didn't see clearly last time, but after a closer look this time, they realized the other person might be a hidden big shot...

Because he didn't have the ability to activate it, Hachiman, unaware that the two had already begun to transform, urged again, "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

"It's alright, brother. We've cleared your debts. If you need money again in the future, you can ask us anytime."

"..."

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

Hachiman froze, fearing that the two of them would blurt out Xiangzi's debt, so he quickly covered it up by saying, "Her debt has nothing to do with me."

"Um, okay."

The two scratched the back of their heads in unison. "You're being so indifferent. Is she not your girlfriend?"

There was no point in dwelling on this. The two exchanged a few more polite words and then left looking dejected.

Only four girls remained, standing there blankly.

"You...know them?"

Shiina Riki warily observed Hachiman's expression; anyone associated with the yakuza was no good.

"I don't know him." Hachiman shook his head decisively.

"..." Shiina Tatsuki gave him a deep look, then exhaled and said, "Never mind, thank you this time."

25-> 5

[Gravity value has been significantly reduced]

[Received a random snack gift box *1]

???

This reward came somewhat suddenly, or rather, it was a bit too simple.

He just said a few words and lowered the gravity value enough?

Could it be that this girl is actually the kind of person who is very easy to appease?

Hachiman's gaze toward Shiina Tatsuki suddenly became much more respectful.

Is this reward a bit too casual?

"Hachiman, what's this debt they're talking about? Do you owe them money? I'll give you the money, you can go and pay it back first," Nagasaki Motoyo asked nervously.

Dealing with the underworld is very dangerous, and Nagasaki Motoyo is worried that something bad might have happened to Hachiman before.

"It's nothing, you've misunderstood."

Hachiman made up an excuse on the spot, "Have you guys decided on the clothes?"

"No!" Ai Yin said angrily, "We were having a nice time shopping, and then those two just followed us. It's so annoying!"

It seems that Aine really hates thugs.

"Hachiman, would you please accompany us for a while later?"

With moist eyes, the lamp looked Hachiman up and down, and its trembling body moved a little closer.

Anyone would be scared after experiencing something like that.

"Okay, then I'll ask the store manager for leave."

"Great!"

After getting permission for Ijichi Seika to take leave, Hachiman followed behind the four beautiful girls, acting as their protector.

While shopping, Hachiman opened the unidentified snack gift box.

The next moment, colorful flowers popped up on the blue screen that only he could see, and about three or four seconds later, rows of props appeared on the screen.

The gift box has been opened.

[Item Obtained: Sleeping Black Tea *5]

[Item Explanation: An extremely potent sleeping pill that is non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free. It tastes great and has a slight memory-blurring effect, making it an essential item for travel.]

[P.S.: Each cup is only effective for the first person to drink from it, so please do not attempt to reuse it.]

This is an absolute must-have for any trip!

When Hachiman saw the first "snack" the system gave him, he felt something was off.

Why would someone need such strong sleeping pills?

What, are you going to commit a crime?

The system did not reply; it simply distributed the second and third "snacks" in sequence, for a total of five.

[Item Obtained: Ghoul Recommended Coffee Packet *3]

[Item Explanation: Extra strong espresso; drinking it grants a calming buff lasting up to ten minutes.]

[Item Obtained: 3 Blue Pills]

[Item Explanation: Dream Suppressant, ensuring you get a perfect night's sleep after falling asleep, without worrying about being woken up by nightmares]

Apart from one blue pill "snack" which was relatively normal, all the others were props similar to tranquilizers.

No, this blue pill isn't exactly respectable either.

What, are you cosplaying as Breaking Bad?

"Tongzi, tell me, what are you going to do with these props?"

A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?

Speak like a human.

[Gravity has been rising all over the world lately, hopefully Hachiman will use these gadgets wisely.]

Got it, you're feeding them medicine when the gravity is about to exceed the limit, right?

You are a genius.

Hachiman sighed helplessly. Just as he was lamenting how fleeting the reward was, he suddenly saw Shiina Riki looking over with displeasure.

"Hey, could you come a little closer?"

Come closer?

Does this sound like something you would say?

"Can you stop staring at me like that!" Shiina Tatsuki seemed very angry. "If you stay that far away, what if some thugs come near?"

No, just your aura alone would keep any thugs away, right?

Perhaps because of what had just happened, Shiina Ritsuki looked at everyone with anger, forcing the surrounding pedestrians to keep a great distance from them.

"Hehe, Riki is thanking you, Hikigaya-kun." Aine smiled, but her voice brought a different expression to Shiina Tatsuki's grumpy face.

"I didn't!"

"You have it."

"I said no, and that means no."

Is she the tsundere type?

These days, being arrogant really doesn't work.

Hachiman mentally reviewed Shiina Tatsuki's reaction earlier, but didn't pay too much attention to her words.

Upon entering the clothing store, Shiina Tatsuki's imposing aura subsided slightly, and the sales clerk began fluently recommending clothes to the girls.

While the girl was trying on clothes, Hachiman sat obediently on the stool in the store, and there was no scene like the common one in anime where he was dragged into the fitting room and then engaged in various playful acts.

The clothing at the Shibuya fashion store doesn't seem to satisfy a certain design director.

Hachiman also began to regret becoming their protector.

Sure enough, after browsing for more than an hour, Ai Yin still didn't seem to have gained enough inspiration.
