After school,
The people in Class B are preparing for training, and Hikigaya is packing his bag and preparing to leave the classroom.
"Hikigaya, another different girl is looking for you."
"What's going on?"
A male passerby from Class B stood at the classroom door, speaking with a slightly teasing tone, and others couldn't help but be curious.
"But this time it's Horikita from Class D~"
"Oh, I know that, thank you."
Hikigaya quickly picked up his bag and left the classroom.
He remembered very clearly that the arrogant girl still owed him money. It's no wonder that Horikita Suzune, even without a contract, would keep her promise.
Thinking of another private point coming in, Hikigaya excitedly walked to the girl who was exuding a cold aura.
"You should know why I'm looking for you."
Horikita Suzune crossed her arms, her sharp eyes almost made Hikigaya feel like he had done something wrong.
Forget it, she's always like this.
"Okay."
Hikigaya was a bit excited, "To pay back the money."
"Before that, you should have something to say, right?"
Horikita Suzune's beautiful eyes suddenly cooled down, "What's the reason for blacklisting me, or can I understand that you don't want this money?"
It's over.
Completely forgot about this.
In other words.
Yesterday, the first school issued personal points.
Horikita Suzune should have wanted to contact him, but it wasn't until yesterday that she found out she had been blacklisted, so she came to blame him today.
Damn it,
From the sound of it, Horikita Suzune seems to want to default.
"Hahaha, how could it be."
Hikigaya laughed dryly, how could anyone in this world not like money.
"Forget it, take out your phone."
Hikigaya obediently took out his phone and re-added the contact information, and soon received a transfer of 10450 points from Horikita Suzune.
As expected of Horikita Suzune.
The agreed fifty percent is not a penny less, even the change has not been forgotten.
"Just this once."
"If you dare to blacklist me next time, I will judge that you voluntarily give up the contract and don't want this money."
"Do you understand."
"Understood..."
Indeed, those who owe money act like big shots.
Hikigaya looked at Horikita Suzune's slender back, and still silently recorded the contact information, after all, who would be at odds with money.
"Hikigaya, why did Horikita look for you?"
"It's okay, just to pay back the money."
"Is it the reward for your advice on the uninhabited island test?"
"That's right."
Hearing Kanzaki and others' words, Hikigaya nodded.
Sure enough, Ichinose had already told them about this, but Kanzaki and others didn't have any opinions.
After all,
The two classes are in a cooperative relationship.
Class D's current performance does not affect Class B at all.
Using personal wisdom to earn a certain amount of personal points is not inappropriate.
"Then the girl from yesterday too?"
A male student from Class B naturally opened his mouth.
"Uh...probably?"
Hikigaya was suddenly stunned.
It took Hikigaya a while to remember that Sakura seemed to owe him twenty thousand personal points, and she probably wanted to pay him back yesterday.
But when he suddenly called her by her name, Sakura was scared off.
After all,
In Japan, calling someone by their name is a very intimate gesture.
Thinking about it,
Hikigaya felt a bit guilty. He decided to let this money go.
He remembered very clearly that the money from Horikita Suzune was obtained through a fair transaction.
But as for Sakura Airi's money,
If it weren't for someone mentioning it, Hikigaya would have almost forgotten about it.
....
Keyaki Mall Shopping Center
Outside the supermarket.
Hikigaya, wearing a blue baseball cap and a blue uniform, pinned his work badge to his chest.
Finally, he set up the prepared folding table and chairs outside the store entrance.
His lifeless fish eyes
Looked like those of a young corporate slave who had been squeezed dry.
"That..."
The clerk looked troubled: "You're making it difficult for me."
"It's fine."
Hikigaya placed dozens of volumes of "Sword Art Online" on the table.
He said proudly:
"After all, you guys are not here to make a profit, right? You just need to do your own thing, all the responsibility is on me."
"I see..."
Hearing that he didn't need to take responsibility, the clerk reluctantly returned to the store.
Choosing to work in this enclosed school.
Isn't it just for the sake of comfort?
Moreover, he had never encountered such a thing before, so if there were any consequences, it wouldn't be his problem.
....
As evening approached.
Students participating in clubs and preparing for the sports festival gradually left the school gate and came to the Keyaki Mall Shopping Center.
A male student just walked into the convenience store, then walked back out.
Looking at the light novel on the table, he was a bit confused:
"This is the latest volume of 'Sword Art Online', right? Why is it outside?"
"Well, there's no room inside. If you want to buy it, you can check out here."
Hikigaya lowered his cap brim and spoke in a low voice.
"Alright, how many points is it?"
"Six hundred personal points."
"Eh?"
The male student took out his phone while looking a bit confused: "I remember the seventeenth volume was 500 points or how much was it, did the price go up?"
A difference of one hundred points.
He couldn't even afford a bottle of drink.
If he had been using cash all the time, he might have some impression, but since he had been using personal points to pay, his sensitivity to money would decrease.
How much was the book he bought a few months ago?
Most people probably don't remember, this one in front of him has a pretty good memory.
"Okay."
"I heard that in this volume, Kirito accepted a confession from a new girl, so it's selling well, and the price has gone up by one hundred."
Hikigaya took out a new volume and handed it to the other party, speaking in a low voice.
It feels like it's not a problem to say that the price didn't go up.
After all, the other party obviously isn't that confident in his own memory, most likely he just doesn't remember and is a bit confused.
But Hikigaya still felt that it's better not to lie here.
After all,
It's just a 100 private points.
Private points are issued by the school, it can be considered as effortless gain, most people are not sensitive to this price difference.
Even in this era, even if they see a dollar on the ground, most people are probably too lazy to pick it up.
Even the content.
He only read a dozen volumes in junior high school, and he hasn't read much recently.
But presumably the content is more or less the same, it's refreshing and also involves stock trading.
Take the opportunity to pull some anticipation, presumably the other party will also buy it.
"Liar, doesn't Kirito always like Asuna? How could he accept someone else's confession."
"Then I don't know, I heard it's like this."
"Then you quickly get me a copy."
Hikigaya quickly completed the transaction with the other party, and then he walked into the store, the clerk secretly observed the scene in front of him.
Are students so brave now, this guy will definitely be a fraudster in the future.
The corner of the clerk's mouth twitched and he withdrew his gaze.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, he is also too lazy to find trouble for himself.
A psychologist once said.
A sign of a person's maturity is being good at shifting blame.
And outside the store.
Hikigaya is slightly excited.
"Sword Art Online" YYDS!
It's worthy of being a popular work, it sold hundreds of copies in less than two hours, so I believe it will soon be sold out and the cost will be recovered, and I believe there will be a profit.
Hikigaya is a bit tempted.
Should he set up a stall here after school in the future?
Find a product with a controllable supply to form a monopoly, it feels that it is more reliable to save 20 million personal points.
"What are you doing here?"
At this time, Himeno Yuki appeared in front of him.
Hikigaya lowered the brim of his hat and took a sneak peek, and found that she was eating a potato cake with an expressionless face looking at this side.
"Excuse me, can I help you?"
Hikigaya pressed the brim of his hat even lower, and said with a trembling voice.
It's over, how could he be discovered so quickly, calm down, maybe Himeno Yuki just likes light novels as well.
He must be able to fool her.
After all, several people in Class B didn't find out that he was pretending.
How could this guy possibly find out.
"Huh?"
Himeno Yuki frowned and said, "Customer? Hikigaya, what are you doing here?"
"Shush!"
Sure enough, he was discovered, Hikigaya hurriedly put his finger to his lips, signaling her to keep her voice down.
"I'm selling books, you keep your voice down."
"Ha..."
Himeno Yuki dragged the tone, picked up a light novel and put it in her hand, and said with some doubt:
"Sword Art Online Volume 18, isn't this the latest volume? Why are you selling it here?"
This guy really likes to read light novels.
"I beg you, keep your voice down."
Hikigaya walked to the side, waved her over, and then lowered his voice and said:
"This is a club activity."
"Huh?" Himeno Yuki tilted her head, looking even more puzzled.
"What kind of club activity is this?"
"Didn't I tell you before?"
Hikigaya carefully explained, "The student council requires me to submit a yearly progress report, so I plan to earn money by writing a report here."
.. .. ....
"Uh..."
Himeno Yuki was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I can't believe you thought of that."
"..."
Hikigaya's face turned black. Was this girl unable to understand human language?
But he didn't have a good solution either, he could only wait for Himeno Yuki to finish laughing. She still occasionally showed a smile and said:
"By the way, how many have you sold so far? You can't possibly compete with the school's convenience store, right?"
"No."
Hikigaya proudly said: "I did market research. The new volume of 'Sword Art Online' only had 350 copies in stock, and I bought them all. No one else can buy them in school except from me."
"You can actually do that..."
These people obviously had no understanding of the market situation. Himeno Yuki thought for a moment and was a bit puzzled:
"Then why are you being so careful?"
"Are you an idiot?"
Hikigaya said somewhat helplessly: "If the school finds out about this, they will definitely prohibit students from setting up stalls. Then I can't do it anymore."
"Eh? Why?"
Although she was a bit angry at being called an idiot, Himeno Yuki really couldn't figure it out.
"It's a simple reason."
Hikigaya looked around to make sure no one was there, then lowered his voice and explained:
"The purchase price of the book is 500, I sell it for 600. As long as I sell all the books this time, I can earn 210,000 points, which translates to a profit of 35,000 points. Based on the current situation, it's basically impossible to lose."
"In other words, as long as I can monopolize these necessities with limited stock, it should not be difficult to earn 20 million personal points in three years."
"This is a loophole. The school will definitely try to stop it. The only way to stop it is to purchase a large amount of goods, so that people cannot form a monopoly."
"But this will definitely greatly increase the school's operating costs, it's definitely not worth it. The only thing they can do is to add rules to prohibit setting up stalls."
"It's a simple reason."
The country spends such a huge amount of money.
It's to cultivate elite corporate slaves, they can't allow them to make money here. The fundamental role of corporate slaves is to earn money from their employer rather than generating money independently.
It's not difficult to save up to 20 million or even move to A.
For example, If I can monopoly girls' menstrual products.
Hikigaya fully believes that the school's monthly stock is definitely limited. As long as he buys all the sanitary pads and the other products.
Earning 20 million is simply easy, but the risk is too great.
You can also set up a stall outside the school.
What are you still doing here?
The school will definitely crack down on this kind of loophole behavior.
Although many things are purchased once a month, it does not mean that they can only be purchased once a month.
Once capital flows in.
His small capital business will be beaten to a pulp in an instant.
It's better to be sensible and do a good job as a corporate slave.
