Chapter 61: The Pervert’s Treasure!
Chapter 61: The Pervert’s Treasure!
】
“Clear the stage? Unlock? What the hell…”
Himekoji Akito was full of question marks.
Having paid little attention to the 2D world in his previous life, never read Japanese light novels, and only watched battle and action anime, Himekoji Akito kind of recognized this novel’s name, yet also felt like he’d never heard of it at all…
Had he heard it before or not?
Whatever, it was free anyway!
Thinking like that, he instantly stopped worrying.
Himekoji happily went shopping on Taobao next… yuck, shopping in the exchange store.
Though he used the word “shopping,” what to exchange for was something Himekoji Akito had already decided long ago.
【Congratulations! You successfully exchanged for the manga “One-Punch Man Original Volume 1”!】
【2D Points -500.】
【Congratulations! You successfully exchanged for the light novel “Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist Volume 9”!】
【2D Points -1000.】
……
The System’s exchange store refreshed its list of exchangeable items every week.
Remember? Himekoji Akito had been eagerly eyeing the newly appeared “One-Punch Man” in the store since Monday.
As mentioned before, Himekoji Akito only watched battle and action anime, so he happened to have watched the “One-Punch Man” anime.
Well, he watched the anime, not the manga, but it was basically the same thing anyway.
Since the anime was adapted from the manga.
Himekoji Akito remembered clearly that in his past life, the “One-Punch Man” anime was super popular!
Therefore, the manga was definitely the same, absolutely a hugely popular masterpiece!
Just thinking he only spent 500 2D Points to buy it made Himekoji Akito extremely happy.
Besides “One-Punch Man,” the other thousand 2D Points Himekoji Akito spent on “Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist Volume 9”. It was worth mentioning that this was also the final volume of “Shimoneta.”
He couldn’t help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, over a year had passed. He hadn’t just been a pervert for over a year; he had also been an “impersonator” light novel writer for over a year.
Oh, to brag more, perhaps he could even add the word “bestselling” in front of “writer.”
…
The identity of a pervert was despised, scorned, and cursed.
But the profession of a light novel writer was respected, acknowledged, and eagerly followed and liked by readers.
So, even though the novels were something Himekoji Akito exchanged for, his talent was fake and unreal, he still had to work hard to keep up the lie.
To earn enough 2D Points to exchange for the next volume, he had to work extremely hard to complete the perverted options the System released.
…
He needed money.
He also needed recognition.
Even if that recognition was fake, unreal, elusive, and counterfeit.
Because —
Sometimes, things that are fake are kinder than the real thing.
…
Himekoji hated kindness.
He just said so with his mouth.
