Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The Talent Scout's New Scheme

He wouldn't even mention what happened overseas; it made Akira exclaim, "Impossible!" This was more than just a sudden appearance of mighty men; it was like a gathering of mighty men with cheat codes activated… Could this also be the work of transmigrators?

And looking at Neon's magical modern history, it left him even more speechless.

Neon seemed to have embarked on an unforeseen path?

It seemed that the magical situation of 'I resist myself' really did happen, didn't it?

But it hadn't fully gone through with it; it seemed to have only gone halfway… Now it was in an uncertain state, not knowing whom to acknowledge as its father.

Akira was not interested in politics, let alone the politics of other countries.

The wheels of history rolled forward, and that had nothing to do with his current situation.

At least, after reaching modern times, the Neon of this world still developed into its original appearance, with a touch of retro charm.

High School girls' uniforms were changing from sailor suits to Western-style uniforms, but they still wore sports shorts for gym class, sukumizu were still one-piece, Akihabara was still an electronics district…

Isn't that pretty good?

However, the butterfly effect caused by national-level changes was very terrifying, and this also led to none of the enterprises Akira was familiar with in his previous life appearing in this world.

International renowned companies like So○y, Ni○tendo, Mit○ubishi, Toy○ta, etc., did not exist.

However, the Famicom still appeared, arcades were still very popular, and the manga, anime, and game industries were booming.

Neon did not experience the lost twenty, thirty years… The bubble had not yet burst.

No one knows what the future holds.

For Akira, this was not good news.

Because the advantage of foresight was gone.

The idea of making money by buying stocks and then lying flat was instantly shattered.

But since transmigration was already a given fact, then he had to make this life go smoothly no matter what.

So, to have a good life, the most essential thing is naturally… money! Yen! Yen!

That is, money!

However, Akira did not want to work hard to earn money; he wanted to earn money while lying down.

Although Akira was not bad-looking, he wasn't handsome enough to live off a rich woman by his looks alone.

Moreover, even a gigolo who relies on his looks has to navigate among a bunch of women, leading to an exhausting and stressful life, which isn't the ideal lifestyle Akira desires.

The ideal lifestyle should be: earning enough money to do whatever he wants, even if he does nothing at all!

This is commonly known as financial freedom.

However, to achieve this goal, he first needs startup capital.

Initially, Akira's plan was to plagiarize.

After all, he was a writer in his previous life, so this was his strong suit.

Plus, having read so many stories, he was sure he could make a name for himself.

However, after discovering his unassuming cheat, another mischievous idea emerged in Akira's mind.

In fact, after meeting the class president, this plan became even clearer.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise to meet the class president on the last day of summer vacation, receive so many benefits, and solve the problem of food.

But for Akira, Class President Anri Hitomi was not his target.

Because the class president is a 'genius with self-awareness'.

She knows she has talent and has converted it into proficiency.

But not everyone is aware of their own talents; perhaps a bookworm has the talent for baseball but has never thought of playing it, nor has any interest, leading to a lifetime without touching a bat, and their talent is thus buried.

However, Akira can see talents; as long as Akira actively interferes, builds a good relationship with them, and guides them to become professional players, then he can demand remuneration!

What was the annual salary of a professional baseball player again?

Since they've made it big, sharing a bit of money with a brother wouldn't be too much, right?

Of course, if given the choice, Akira would still prefer to live off women.

But if he had a sworn brother willing to support him, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

He must live off women, and he must live off men; only then can he be considered well-rounded!

Live off everyone and become the King of Soft-Rice!
