To thoroughly solve the problem, either her uncle dies, or she dies; there is no room for compromise.
In her view, the root cause of all this was just her uncle.
Solving him meant solving the source.
But what she didn't know was that her uncle was merely a link; behind him was an entire Gang, as well as the Zombie Devil.
"Ding!"
"Temporary character quest detected: Dojo Defense Battle."
"Accept?"
As he moved forward, Shen Bai saw a golden exclamation mark suddenly appear above Saeko Busujima's head, like an NPC giving out quests in a game.
This works too?
But what are the rewards for this quest?
Affection points?
Shen Bai put aside his thoughts, and with a flick of his mind, the quest details appeared.
"Quest: Dojo Defense Battle."
"Quest Content: Saeko Busujima's uncle, a scumbag involved with the Gang, has made a pact with the Zombie Devil and plans to forcibly seize the dojo left by Saeko Busujima's father."
"The scumbag uncle's final ultimatum is midnight the day after tomorrow, but Saeko Busujima plans to take her father's katana and confront him tonight."
"Quest Success Condition: While ensuring the safety of Saeko Busujima and the dojo, thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger."
"Failure Penalty: None."
"Quest Reward: Two normal capture balls, Saeko Busujima's absolute loyalty!"
"Thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger."
Doesn't that mean completely killing the entire Gang and the Zombie Devil?
The Gang, the Zombie Devil!
Shen Bai could say he was more than familiar with these things.
In the Chainsaw Man world, the Zombie Devil was a devil nearly two stories tall, with a large group of zombie minions.
Its combat power wasn't strong, but it wasn't weak either.
If categorized by the power levels of the One-Punch Man world, its main body would be around Tiger-level.
But each of its shambling minions was Wolf-level.
If there were enough of them, they could indeed cause trouble for the current Shen Bai.
Zhou Fang's family resources?
No.
The test has just begun.
He couldn't let that old man look down on him.
Moreover, it wasn't impossible to maneuver in this situation.
Of course, Shen Bai wasn't thinking of reporting them.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; since that Gang exists and dares to threaten them, it means they have connections and ways to deal with things.
Furthermore, the quest requirement is to completely eliminate the hidden danger.
If the hidden danger remains, the quest cannot be completed.
Therefore, the key to quest success lies with Saeko Busujima.
80 affection points?
It doesn't seem impossible.
"Ding! Character temporary quest: Dojo Defense Battle has been accepted."
"Quest countdown: 39:25:14"
Time passed by the minute and second.
In a flash, the uninteresting opening ceremony was already nearing its end.
Within Shen Bai's radar range, there were many points representing female characters.
But Shen Bai was currently only thinking about how to raise affection, with no time to deal with anything else.
Another class period passed, and the bell for lunch break rang.
Saeko Busujima got up, intending to find a place to eat the bento she had prepared.
Shen Bai followed her closely.
So, Saeko Busujima arrived on the rooftop.
"Bai-tongxue, do you have a habit of stalking people?"
Chapter 008: Hmm, I desire your body
"No, I just want to eat lunch next to Saeko."
"Saeko? When did I allow you to call me that? Also, I prefer to eat alone."
Saeko Busujima's gaze was full of vigilance, but in Shen Bai's eyes, her affection points hadn't decreased.
"Alright! Then I'll be direct, I can help you!"
Shen Bai relayed all the information he had seen from the system quest.
Saeko Busujima frowned: "Where did you find out about these things?"
Shen Bai didn't plan to talk about the system, but he had already thought of an excuse: "There are many wondrous abilities in this world."
"Do you know Tornado, the second-ranked hero?"
"You also have Psychokinesis?"
"I'm just giving an example. If Psychokinesis can exist, then it's not surprising that I can know your information."
"And my abilities aren't limited to just these; I can also enhance a person's strength through some special training methods."
"You're going to kill the Zombie Devil. With your current strength, seeking it out would be certain death."
Shen Bai was composed and forthright: "I don't want to see such a beautiful young girl like you perish!"
"You desire my body?"
"Hmm! Any male who sees you and doesn't desire you isn't a man."
Saeko Busujima's face flushed.
Her affection for Shen Bai increased by another 2 points.
"I appreciate your honesty, so, the special training method you mentioned, can it make me strong enough to kill the Zombie Devil in one day?"
"One day is certainly not enough, but counting today, it might just be possible!"
"How does it work?"
"It's scandalous to say it out loud, lean closer."
As Shen Bai whispered, Saeko Busujima's face grew redder and redder.
At the same time, she became increasingly surprised that such a vulgar ability could exist in the world.
"I have reason to doubt the authenticity of your 'dual cultivation' ability."
"I told you openly and honestly."
"And even if I'm lying to you, you'd only become a woman before you die."
These words were a bit harsh, but Saeko Busujima gained a bit more trust in Shen Bai.
"How about this! I will not submit to a man weaker than myself."
"As long as you can defeat me, I will believe you."
Saeko Busujima wasn't stupid; someone who could directly defeat her in strength wouldn't need to use such words to deceive her.
Conversely, she would be in complete control of the situation.
In short, the situation was all in her favor.
Seeing Saeko Busujima's status panel change to 'Confident,' Shen Bai clapped his hands, then reached out and snapped off a branch from a nearby tree that was similar in length to a wooden sword.
"You use a wooden sword; I can't take advantage of you!"
Affection points rose by another 2 points, reaching 70.
Saeko Busujima placed her bento aside: "Very well, even if you're lying to me, I forgive you."
Shen Bai smiled: "I'm not lying to you."
"Are you ready?"
