Chapter 5 Mission Objectives
Hinata is reasonable: "..."
Good guy.
One hour and five minutes, counting the time, he will probably die at midnight.
His steps slowed down a beat and he asked the system: "What's going on?"
[Whether it is you or 'you', you should die today. Although you will not die after being bound to the system, you need to use points to exchange for survival days.] The system responded quickly.
[If after binding, the host is not exposed to the task and cannot obtain enough rewards, the system will lend the host a certain amount of points to redeem the number of days of survival within a certain limit, and it only needs to be paid back later.]
For example, in places like deserts and seas, if you are alone, you will most likely not meet other people at all, let alone trigger tasks and receive rewards.
Hinata rationally scanned the system's explanation and pondered for a moment, "What is the certain limit? If this limit is used up and the system's debt is still unable to be repaid, then...?"
System answer: [The limit is ten days. If it still remains the same, you can only unbind it.]
ah.
Hinata first converted the only points she had into days, and found that the countdown had added a few more numbers: eleven days, one hour, and four minutes.
It seems that the mission cannot be refused casually.
But tonight I just answered a few questions and got eleven days. Hinata reasonably felt that the difficulty was not bad and she could barely accept it.
Somewhere in the light screen suddenly lit up, a red dot appeared, and at the same time a system prompt appeared:
[Mission detected: Please visit the convenience store
Task description: Convenience store clerk Ms. A is passing by and hopes you will go to the convenience store to make some purchases.
Mission requirement: Go to a convenience store to buy some things
Mission reward: 10 points.]
After reading the pop-up prompt, Hinata looked around subconsciously.
It was already very late, but there were a few scattered passers-by around. At first glance, they were office workers who had just finished working overtime. They were all wearing suits and walking tiredly, and the people around them were all men.
Who is Ms. A, the convenience store clerk, and how did she pass by?
After looking around, Hinata found the convenience store in front of her.
The items in that convenience store are quite complete. When the original owner took a detour, he often bought some fried noodles, bread and other things from that convenience store to replace the bento he brought from home.
He accepted the task first, then opened the door and walked into the convenience store as usual.
There weren't many people in the convenience store, probably to attract people. The shelves near the door were all colorful, with ice cream and candies. Fried noodles, bread and some other simple meals were also nearby.
Hinata took a reasonable look inside the store and found that the person standing in front of the counter was very strange. She was a girl with black hair and blue eyes. She seemed to be working part-time.
The moment he looked towards the clerk, he met the clerk's eyes.
This task may be when the clerk is in a daze and suddenly finds a familiar customer outside, so he hopes that the customer will come in to buy things and increase the revenue of the convenience store...
The mission did not clearly stipulate what to buy. Before Hinata came in, she checked her wallet and found that there were sufficient funds in it, so she planned to pick out some things she wanted first.
First of all, she had to buy water. She drank some hot water that the police officer handed her to her before, but after Hinata swallowed more than half of the cup reasonably, she still felt sticky in her mouth, and there seemed to be some bitter apricot taste left.
It must be an illusion, otherwise Kudo Shinichi must have smelled it.
Then buy some bandage alcohol and hide it near your home. Use it first if necessary in the future. It is best to use it during the day. When you get home at night, the pungent smell will have dissipated.
followed by……
He wandered in front of the colorful ice cream shelves and found that none of the ice cream here looked familiar. They were all unfamiliar to him. The colors were quite cute, and the prices were even prettier.
As long as the wallet can afford it, price is not an issue. Hinata hesitated reasonably, hesitating between 'just buy one to try' and 'pick one of each to try'.
Then he heard a burst of light footsteps.
The visitor must have deliberately slowed down his steps, but the sound of high heels hitting the ground was too obvious.
Hinata turned her head subconsciously and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.
Shopkeeper A walked over from the corner and met Hinata's eyes, which she was looking at reasonably. She was startled subconsciously and then said with a smile: "Is the customer hesitating about which ice cream to choose?"
Was it because the clerk was very enthusiastic, or because she noticed that he hadn't come out for a long time and was worried that he was doing something bad, so she rushed over in a hurry? She also deliberately walked slowly.
"Ah, yes, I would like to choose an ice cream. Do you have any recommendations?" Hinata reasonably took a few steps back and moved away from the shelf.
"Okay." The clerk responded with a smile and his eyes curled up.
She was wearing a store clerk's uniform, which was a bit like an apron, with a small brand pinned to it. The distance was so close that Hinata could easily see the name on the brand:
Hirota Masami.
The name seemed familiar, and after reciting it in his mind, Hinata felt as if he had never seen it before.
While he was hesitating, the clerk looked at the shelves and said, "Does the customer have any dietary restrictions? The most popular flavors right now are spicy and hot pot, and then red bean flavor."
Spicy and hotpot flavor...?
Hinata didn't understand, but he was shocked.
What kind of taste heresy is this! Even if the tastes in different countries are different, then it’s not like eating spicy and hot pot flavored ice cream, is it true that you won’t spit it out after taking one bite?
Seeing the clerk's hands picking around on the shelves, Hinata said quickly: "The red bean flavor is fine, thank you."
The clerk chose a red ice cream, took it out, turned to look at Hinata, and said with crooked eyes: "Okay, it's red bean flavor."
When paying, Hinata discovered that there was a tall mirror placed not far from the checkout counter. Based on the angle of the mirror, standing inside the checkout counter, the clerk could probably see the ice cream shelves.
...No wonder he came over suddenly. It turned out that he saw the guest through the mirror thinking deeply about choosing ice cream.
The doubts were resolved, Hinata paid the money reasonably and easily, then converted the fresh points into days and continued walking back.

The phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Miyano Akemi took it out, looked at it, and picked it up with a smile: "Hey, Shiho, what's up?"
As she spoke, she silently calculated the time difference and estimated what time it was now in the United States.
Miyano Shiho asked directly: "Gin said, you took over the organization's mission?"
Task……
Miyano Akemi recalled the mission target she had just pushed in. When she saw the mission target for the first time, she was greatly shocked even though she knew the situation.
Even if the other person has a cold face, she can instantly think of... Elena Miyano.
