Chapter Two: Saten Ruiko and the Attribute Panel

"Smells good!" That was the first thought that crossed Li Yalin's mind, but soon he snapped out of it. After all, the person in front of him was none other than Little Ruiko. If he were to leave a bad impression on her, all his efforts would be in vain.

"Well, thank you, Little Ruiko, but sometimes it's better to go with the flow." Suppressing the temptation to vent his sorrow to Saten, Li Yalin calmly took a sip of his coffee and shifted his gaze out the window.

"You've got a point there. Just coming back from the States and having to take care of Ruiko, it must be tough for you, a grown man." Hearing Li Yalin's words, Saten looked enlightened.

Alright, let's talk about this annoying setup. In this mission, Ruiko's identity is quite simple: she's the little sister adopted by Li Yalin. In this world, she's also an orphan, and the two of them have been relying on each other since childhood, growing up together. This melodramatic setup, straight out of a soap opera, was something Li Yalin never expected to experience.

Before the start of this mission instance, Li Yalin met Saten Ruiko. At the time, the girl seemed lost and confused. According to her, she had just become a first-year student at Tokiwadai Middle School in Academy City. Like Li Yalin, she had participated in this game as soon as she woke up.

Although the time spent communicating with Ruiko was not very long, Li Yalin and Ruiko were soon teleported to the first instance. But since they were partners, they naturally had to dispel any suspicion between them.

Of course, Li Yalin wouldn't harm a hair on the head of this thirteen-year-old girl. His harmless appearance played a crucial role in winning her trust. He succeeded! He managed to gain Ruiko's approval and even got her to call him "big brother." Many fans of Ruiko would love to strangle Li Yalin alive upon seeing this scene.

"So, I wasn't joking with Ruiko just now. If you could take us in, I'd really appreciate it." Looking at Ruiko and then at Little Ruiko on the table, Li Yalin decided to continue playing the pitiful card. Although he had thirty thousand yen in his pocket, it wasn't enough to cover a month's rent.

"Really? Yalin, are you really in such dire straits?" Saten Ruiko looked at Li Yalin with surprise. A promising young man who had just returned from overseas shouldn't be struggling with his life, right?

"To tell you the truth, Little Ruiko, I only have thirty thousand yen left. The rent for Ruiko's place has expired again. If we don't find a place to stay by tonight, Ruiko and I will probably end up sleeping on the streets." Li Yalin appeared genuinely distressed, which surprised Saten Ruiko and elicited sympathy from her. However, Ruiko, who had been keeping her head down, secretly admired him. She knew their situation very well and admired Li Yalin's ability to immerse himself in the role so quickly.

"If that's the case, you and Ruiko can stay here temporarily. No need to worry about accommodation fees. And if you can't find a job, you can help out at the shop. Sometimes, we need extra hands around here." Whether it was maternal instinct or something else, Saten Ruiko's first step was a success. At least Li Yalin had infiltrated the Cat's Eye Café.

"Really? Thank you so much, Little Ruiko." Li Yalin's expression was touched, and Saten Ruiko gently comforted him before returning to the bar counter of the café.

"Is this really okay, big sis?" At the bar counter, Uiharu Kazari asked her elder sister with a hint of nervousness, anticipation, confusion, and a touch of joy. She was delighted by Li Yalin's arrival, but she knew their identities weren't as simple as they appeared, running this ordinary café.

"If we're discovered, we can just recruit Yalin. I think that would suit your intentions." Saten Ruiko blinked mischievously at Uiharu, showing no signs of worry.

Soon, Li Yalin and Ruiko officially moved into the Cat's Eye Café. Due to various reasons, their luggage amounted to only one large suitcase, mostly filled with Ruiko's school textbooks. They barely had any daily necessities.

"Big brother, you're amazing! You found a place to stay so quickly. I thought we were going to sleep on the streets." Looking at her new room, Ruiko appeared cheerful. Though she was initially quiet, the change in environment brought out her lively and outgoing nature.

"It's just a coincidence. I had no choice. Oh, and take a good look at your attribute panel. It'll come in handy." Li Yalin smiled faintly as he opened his attribute panel.

Name: Li Yalin.

Race: Human.

Rank: Junior Divine Servant.

Talent Attributes: Unlimited Leveling, Unlimited Contract.

Skills: None.

Equipment: None.

Game Points: 0.

Well, this attribute panel couldn't be simpler. No skills, no equipment, and zero game points. Only the so-called talent attributes provided some consolation to Li Yalin.

As for that language specialization the system gave him before the start of the instance, it seemed to be categorized as a hidden passive skill. It wasn't even considered a formal skill. Though incredibly useful, it only made Li Yalin proficient in countless languages. Otherwise, he would have been clueless upon arriving in Japan.

Let's take a closer look at these so-called talent attributes. Oh my goodness, this is shocking! Li Yalin found his two talent attributes to be unbelievably OP.

Unlimited Leveling: Can level up everything, including Li Yalin himself. That means bloodlines, skills, weapons, items, even a teacup in Li Yalin's hands could be leveled up! Of course, there's a prerequisite: Li Yalin needs enough game points or must find other ways to level up.

Unlimited Contract: Can form unlimited contracts with female beings as his divine servants. However, this so-called unlimited contract does have a limitation: it can only be formed with females. That means Li Yalin can only build his army with female followers.

Moreover, this unlimited contract has another advantage: once Li Yalin contracts his divine servants, he will gain some of their abilities. These abilities could be skills, bloodlines, or even the strength and agility of the divine servants themselves. But it all depends on Li Yalin's luck.

After carefully examining these so-called talent attributes, Li Yalin was taken aback. These two talent attributes were so OP that they surprised him.
