Thus, under Hashima's multi-pronged manipulation, June quickly came to an end.
This month, apart from purchasing the 70% Discount Coupon, he hadn't spent much, so his funds remained relatively stable.
After a month of diligent manipulation, the four stocks he held showed varying degrees of change, except for Ichinose Honami's.
On the last day of June, Hashima sat at his desk. At midnight, the Trading Shop would refresh, and he was quite excited about the possibility of new items appearing or the attributes he desired.
Glancing at his current stock interface, the boy began to assess his assets.
Stock Interface
Ichinose Honami Stock
Current Price: 170, Holdings: 3000.
Sakura Airi Stock
Current Price: 160, Holdings: 4000.
Shiina Hiyori Stock
Current Price: 80, Holdings: 3000.
Kushida Kikuno Stock
Current Price: 60, Holdings: 5000.
"Hmm, if I calculate it simply, the cashable funds are quite substantial." Hashima rubbed his chin. Sakura Airi's stock price had only risen once afterward, but with a large number of holdings, it was very valuable.
As for Shiina and Kushida, their stock prices hadn't yet broken 100, so cashing out now felt like a loss. He needed to see what items would refresh in the shop tonight before making a decision.
Time ticked by, and midnight arrived.
A new month has begun. The Trading Shop items have been refreshed. Please check.
Trading Shop
Stock Analyzer: 1000
Table Tennis Set: 1000
Life Album: 20000
Volleyball (Mastery): 200000
Singing Skills (Master): 300000
Stamina: 500000
"!"
Seeing the refreshed items, Hashima's expression changed. It seemed that not spending much last month was the right decision. July's Trading Shop brought him a huge surprise.
One was the stamina attribute he had long desired. Although his stamina had recovered to 5 points, it was still far from exceptional.
Without using the Exercise Enhancer, improving stamina through training required persistent effort, and any slackening could lead to a regression.
Therefore, Hashima felt that directly purchasing the attribute points was a suitable option. After all, the 70% Discount Coupon priced at 20,000 would feel like a waste if not used to buy the most expensive attribute points.
Even more special was the refresh of a brand-new item, the Life Album, priced at 20,000. Although not very expensive, its name inexplicably piqued Hashima's curiosity, so he immediately focused his attention on it.
Life Album
A magical album with predictive capabilities, able to foresee events in the host's future and capture them through random perspectives, allowing the host to understand their life's trajectory in advance and helping to some extent in avoiding risks.
"Predict the future?"
A smile crept onto Hashima's lips. As a reincarnated individual from another world, he had lived in this world for over a decade. Previously, he had a clear life plan: to enter a top-tier school through hard work and then become an outstanding member of society, repaying his parents for raising him.
However, after entering this special school and awakening the system, Hashima had become somewhat curious about his future. Would he successfully graduate as a Class A student? How would his relationships with these girls develop? And who would be the one to accompany him for a lifetime?
The boy was eager to know the answers to these questions, so he immediately spent 20,000 funds to purchase the item.
Life Album purchase complete! Please check, host.
Current Funds: 69600.
After the system notification ended, a thick album suddenly descended from the sky into Hashima's hands.
He began to examine the item in his hands. Its appearance was no different from an ordinary album, with a white cover bearing two English letters: Life Album.
Upon opening it, the album was filled with transparent photo slots, but there were no photos inside.
"Is there nothing?"
Just as Hashima muttered to himself, a photo suddenly appeared in the first slot.
Without hesitation, he pulled out the photo and, upon closer inspection, saw that it was a shot of a woman holding a little girl's hand, with an amusement park entrance ahead of them.
Although it was a back view, the woman had long pink hair, inexplicably reminding Hashima of Ichinose Honami.
"What does this mean?"
He flipped the photo over and found writing on the back, so he immediately began to read.
The content left him stunned. If this was truly a prediction of his future, it was quite ominous.
Hashima Haruka's Summer Vacation Diary, June 15th.
Today, Mom and I went to the amusement park. I heard there's a really scary haunted house, but with Mom here, I shouldn't be afraid.
As for Dad, he seems to have other important matters, so he told us he couldn't come today. But I actually know that Dad was called away by one of his high school classmates.
That aunt is really beautiful, with short brown hair and a very gentle smile on her face. Every time she visits, she brings me gifts.
But I think Mom is prettier and has a better figure, so I don't understand why Dad keeps getting called away by her. He could spend more time with Haruka.
Mom seems to know this aunt too, but she doesn't seem to mind, so I won't bother with it either. As long as Dad comes home on time every night, I love sleeping with Dad; he always tells me stories.
When can I go to the amusement park with Dad?
"..."
After reading the text, Hashima's expression became quite animated. If this was truly a prediction of his future, it was quite troubling.
Judging by the tone, this little girl named Hashima Haruka was likely his future daughter?
The pink-haired mother might be Ichinose Honami?
But why was there also a short-haired brown-haired aunt? Could that be Kushida?
What kind of person will I become in the future...
