Tokyo landlord: why is the panties of the lady next door in my house?!

May 18th, night, midnight.

The downpour lasted for about ten minutes,

and now the rain had returned to a drizzle, filling the air with a damp scent.

The puddles on the road slowly drained away as the blockages in the sewers were cleared.

Inside the villa's bedroom,

Haruka Yuzan leaned against the headboard, his large hand gently stroking his wife's smooth and delicate back, feeling the voluptuous and soft body in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh—it was indeed the good life!

[1. I hope someone will cook me a birthday feast! (Completed)]

[2. I hope to spend this birthday with my daughter! (Completed)]

[3. I hope to receive birthday wishes from people on the morning of May 17th! (Completed)]

[4. I hope that day is filled with joy! (Completed)]

Looking at the text rolling out on the virtual panel, Haruka Yuzan let out a sigh of relief; the birthday list had come to an end.

The overall process was quite smooth and didn't take too much effort; now it was time to reap the rewards!!

Excited by the sight of those four birthday gift packages, Haruka Yuzan felt a game-like thrill of drawing cards.

[Birthday Gift Package: A special event exclusive, random draw for skills, items, system props, etc., with significant randomness.]

(Comment: The tears of the unlucky, the screams of the blessed, from as small as one hundred yen to invincible skills, whatever comes out, do not be surprised, anything is possible!)

It really was a lottery-like gift package. Reading the introduction given by the virtual panel, Haruka Yuzan

calmed his heart and took a deep breath,

please bless me with good fortune, oh mighty luck!

Thinking this, the young man placed his large hand on his wife's room rental overhead and pressed down slightly,

bring me good luck, my dear wife!!

Reiko Onodera, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, unconsciously murmured, her lovely eyebrows slightly furrowing as if feeling something.

But she was too tired to open her eyes.

"Let's open one.... just to test the waters!"

[Opening Birthday Gift Package x1]

[Opening Successful]

[Congratulations to the landlord for obtaining the rare item: Upgrade Card x1]

An item? An Upgrade Card??

[Upgrade Card: Can elevate any one of the player's skills by one level]

The more crudely drawn the entity, the more horrifying it seems—the simple introduction of the Upgrade Card perfectly captures the essence of rarity.

From beginner to intermediate, from intermediate to expert? Expert... I dare not even imagine it; I don't even have an intermediate skill yet.

At this thought, Haruka Yuzan got tremendously excited, unconsciously squeezing the person in his arms a little harder,

Reiko Onodera seemed to feel it, frowning slightly, and the young man quickly relaxed his right hand,

Seeing his wife's brow smooth out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The first round of the draw began with too much excitement, indeed.

A winning start,

Chapter Find:

A good beginning, suggesting everything would go well tonight.

This time, Haruka Yuzan changed to another room rental, took a deep breath, and went for three consecutive draws,

"Open all the remaining birthday gift packages."

[Opening Birthday Gift Package x3]

[Opening Successful]

[Congratulations to the landlord for obtaining the passive skill: Quick Thinking]

[Congratulations to the landlord for earning 100 yen]

[Congratulations to the landlord for receiving an Intermediate Bow and Arrow Gift Package]

After opening three gift packages in a row, the virtual panel scrolled wildly with text.

Putting everything else aside, that 100 yen was particularly conspicuous.

A consolation prize???

With a thought, a silver hundred-yen coin appeared in the young man's right hand, and its cold touch unsettled the delicately skinned woman in his arms as she shifted uncomfortably.

Haruka Yuzan held the coin up in the air and inspected it; rarity is the quality of being scarce,

even though it was commonplace, and took up a spot in the birthday gift package, it surely had to be a Lucky Coin!!!

It must be so! How could a lucky emperor get a consolation prize?

After convincing himself through a bit of mental gymnastics, Haruka Yuzan set the coin on the bedside table, then placed his hand back on his wife, and started checking the remaining skills

[Passive Skill: Quick Thinking: The landlord's learning ability will be greatly enhanced, from now on, please consult various books to improve yourself!! (To be claimed)]

(Comment: The overload of a pig's brain is non-existent; the landlord's thinking ability and on-the-spot reaction will be greatly enhanced, outsmarting a host of genius young beauties! So go study! Be a knowledgeable, capable landlord!!!)

[Intermediate Bow and Arrow Gift Package x1]

[Package content: Intermediate bow and arrow theory knowledge, a set of fine bow and arrow equipment. (To be claimed)]

Seeing the text that scrolled out, Haruka Yuzan's eyes lit up, quite pleasantly surprised.

The gift package lived up to its name indeed!

Over the past few months on this system, he had only gained two skills, "Golden Right Hand" and "Kitchen Knowledge," both still at the beginner level.

Now, in just one day, he had acquired an intermediate skill, a powerful passive skill, and an Upgrade Card.

It was indeed a bountiful harvest!

Uh... and a "lucky" hundred-yen coin, too.

Without hesitation, Haruka Yuzan proceeded,

[Claim Quick Thinking]

The caption for Quick Thinking shattered into fragments and dissipated in the air,

In an instant, Haruka Yuzan felt his mind clear, and his overall mental state improved significantly.

It was even more comforting than his previous skill upgrade.

On-the-spot response capabilities involve many physical factors; even with high Intelligence, one may not necessarily possess outstanding adaptability—it's a combination of IQ and EQ.
