He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 2 Accident

Lin Xiuyi got up early in the morning to do her morning exercise.

I ran three laps around the house, then did three sets of push-ups and sit-ups each.

This is not for fitness purposes, but to improve physical fitness, ensure health, and avoid getting sick.

He had no money for medical treatment or medicine. If he fell ill, there would probably be no one to help him in Kotobuki, a town full of drunkards and gamblers, and he would risk losing his life.

After finishing her morning exercise, Lin Xiuyi turned on her phone.

[Bear Disaster Part 1] is still not complete.

Drag the screen up or down to switch to the "Daily" tab.

As expected, the order book was refreshed today.

【daily】

The Japanese have historically been a herbivorous people, yet now they openly eat rice—what kind of behavior is this? Unhealthy eating habits are clearly a sin, so I'm going to the supermarket to buy three bags of rice so that others won't have any, and contributing to the improvement of the Japanese diet.

[Reward: 60,000 yen]

Status: Pending

After a long speech, the result was as expected: it was another prank with a bizarre idea and strange requirements.

But upon seeing the reward of 60,000, Lin Xiuyi immediately went to a nearby supermarket that opened early.

His timing was perfect; the merchants had just put a new batch of released rice reserves on the shelves that day.

It is the batch that was stored in 2021 that is known as "Gugugugu Rice".

One bag weighs 5kg and costs 2200 yuan. Each household is limited to one bag.

Because of the purchase limit, Lin Hsiu-yi not only had to buy a bag of "Gugugugu Rice", but also had to spend more money to buy the rice that was usually sold, which cost 4400 yuan a bag.

Lin Xiuyi is quite frugal. His family doesn't have cooking utensils, so they can't cook and don't need rice at all; buying rice would be a waste of money. However, his money is currently given by the app, and he can earn even more by completing tasks—it's like using small fish to catch big fish, so he doesn't really care.

But it's not possible to just throw the rice away.

After buying the rice, the three bags together weighed 15 kilograms.

Treating it as weight training, Lin Xiuyi ignored the stares of others and carried the rice home in two trips.

It was quite strenuous.

"If we could get that physical enhancement, things would be much better."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, changed into his uniform, and headed to school.

His school is not in Kotobuki-cho, but it's not far either. It's Yokohama Minato High School, located in the heart of Yokohama, and it only takes less than 20 minutes to walk there.

Along the way, they gradually encountered other students who were also wearing uniforms.

There were quite a few girls in groups of three or five, chattering away.

"Hey guys, did you see the news just now?"

"Hey, are you saying so-and-so cheated on me again?"

"No, it's Tokyo! People have been attacked by bears in Shinagawa city..."

Although Lin Xiuyi didn't listen attentively, his ears still picked up the key information.

Has what he did last night made the news...?

He opened his phone and went into the app.

In the pop-up interface, the task status of 【Bear Disaster 1】has indeed changed to 【Completed, Rewards to be Claimed】.

The two original reward options have also been moved to the bottom, highlighted, and made clickable.

Between the X-ray vision glasses and the physical enhancement level 1, Lin Xiuyi chose the latter.

The former, which is incomprehensible from its name, may be similar to a simulated bear skin suit, and obtaining it can unlock new special missions.

However, that's more like an advanced challenge.

The rewards for the new special missions may be very generous, but the corresponding difficulty will obviously not be low.

Physical fitness is fundamental; by strengthening it, one can handle many tasks more easily and feel more confident when facing challenges.

Putting aside the long term, just carrying rice home today will be much easier.

Pressing the option, Lin Xiuyi felt a surge of comfort, her steps became lighter, and a powerful energy coursed through her body, making even a casual wave of her hand swift and forceful.

Even more surprisingly, he could see the leaves falling from the tree more clearly.

It seems that strength, agility, reaction time, and eyesight have all improved considerably.

A male student walking behind Lin Xiuyi stopped in a daze for a moment when he saw the change in Lin Xiuyi's gait. He rubbed his eyes and realized that he was still half asleep.

Successfully completed the special mission and received the reward.

The routine tasks have been completed, so there should be nothing to do today.

But I saw the text interface on the app refresh automatically.

There was only one line of small print: "[Young man of justice, please await your new mission today]"

Lin Xiuyi silently recited the second half of the sentence, put her phone into her pocket, and walked into the school gate.

After changing my shoes, I entered the classroom marked "Class 3, Grade 1".

He arrived relatively early; there weren't many people in the classroom.

There was still some time before the first class, and I was planning to memorize the text as usual.

But then he saw the homeroom teacher walk into the classroom, scan the room, and then focus his gaze on him. He hesitated for a while before walking over with a somewhat unnatural expression.

—Something's happened.

—Did they find out that I dressed up as a bear to scare people?

—When did Japanese police become so efficient...?

Various thoughts flashed through Lin Xiuyi's mind in an instant, and then passed by at lightning speed.

Before the homeroom teacher could speak, Lin Xiuyi asked first, "Mr. Maeda, is there something you need?"

"Lin-kun," the homeroom teacher, Maeda, still looked uneasy, her cautious tone revealing a hint of guilt, "Could you please come with me to the principal's office?"

It's not the teachers' office, it's the principal's office... This is definitely a serious matter.

Besides dressing up as a bear, he's been playing quite a few pranks these past few days, and he might accidentally slip up and get caught.

Which one could it be?

Different "bad" things will result in different punishments.

The worst-case scenario is that kicking deer (roe deer), harassing people, throwing urine bottles, and pretending to be a bear will all be discovered.

Lin Xiuyi followed her homeroom teacher out of the classroom and headed to the principal's office. Along the way, she was filled with doubt and thought, but on the surface, she remained calm.

Teacher Maeda walked ahead, glancing back at him every now and then guiltily, her lips moving slightly, clearly as if she was holding back something.

Finally, when he reached the door of the principal's office, the homeroom teacher turned around and looked at him.

"Teacher, please say what you have to say."

The strange sense of guilt revealed by the homeroom teacher made Lin Xiuyi feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry!"

Unexpectedly, the homeroom teacher lowered his voice and apologized to him in a shouting manner, while also bowing.

The reason wasn't explained, but the truth will soon be revealed.

After bowing, the homeroom teacher knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The principal's voice pierced through the wooden door.

Lin Xiuyi followed her homeroom teacher inside.

"Mr. Maeda, Ms. Hayashi, you've arrived."

Principal Couco was a middle-aged man with a beer belly, bald, and sporting a small mustache. His face often switched between sternness and kindness. He seemed more like a shrewd and cunning businessman than an educator.

After entering, the homeroom teacher greeted them and then fell silent.

The principal put on a greasy smile. "Lin, actually... the main reason I called you here is about the scholarship."

With a change in tone, his smile naturally turned into a sorrowful expression.

"It's very regrettable, Lin. Although you were on the scholarship list, something unexpected happened. When the school was verifying your identity, they found that your situation was somewhat unusual. We were unable to contact your parents, and after investigation, we discovered that you have been living alone for a long time."

"Previously, the school waived part of your tuition fees because of your excellent academic performance. However, scholarships are cash payments, which are completely different from fee waivers. Since we cannot find your guardian and you are not a minor, we cannot award you a scholarship according to regulations."

"Is that so, Mr. Maeda?"

After speaking, the principal regained his stern expression and looked at the homeroom teacher.

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Lin, I hope you can understand..."

The homeroom teacher quickly nodded in agreement.

The principal nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Lin, although you are a Chinese, and although the current situation is special, with some fluctuations in relations between Japan and China, you must know that Minato High School is an educational institution that values ​​fairness and impartiality. We will absolutely not discriminate against our students because of factors unrelated to education."

"So I hope that in the future you will not think that Minato has implemented any discriminatory measures, and you will not tell others... Please join everyone in continuing to contribute to Japan-China friendship."

"Please don't take the scholarship too seriously. It's only 20 yen. Lin, you have excellent grades and a bright future ahead of you. There are many ways for you to make money."

The principal spoke earnestly.

They kept repeating the same old things.

So it was just a scholarship...

Lin Xiuyi sighed.

Now, scholarships are no longer important to him.

He only has one question he wants answered.

"So, who replaced me on the scholarship list?"

Lin Xiu kept her eyes on the principal's.
