A soft, moist sensation came from his face.
After a brief moment, that feeling disappeared.
Haru couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
She really kissed him.
Actually, he had just been looking at how cute the dumpling was, so he had a momentary wicked thought and deliberately made a joke.
With the attitude of "might as well try whether there are dates or not," he teased the dumpling.
He hadn't expected her to actually fall for it.
Now feeling the sensation of the girl's lips, Haru couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Yui Yuigahama, whose face was completely red. She was looking down, her delicate body trembling slightly, obviously embarrassed to the extreme.
"Like this... Haru-kun... should be satisfied now, right?" Yui Yuigahama said in an extremely shy voice.
This made Haru's heart flutter even more.
He suddenly felt that he should perhaps tease her again.
"Cough cough, very satisfied," Haru coughed and finally chose not to tease her anymore.
One must know when to stop.
Then Yui Yuigahama's face became even redder.
After that, she didn't dare talk to Haru.
Until they got off the Ferris wheel.
Only then did Yui Yuigahama return to normal. When chatting with Yukino Yukinoshita and Shinka Nibutani, she acted as if nothing had happened, constantly talking about how fun the Ferris wheel was.
Only when she accidentally made eye contact with Haru would she show some flaws due to shyness.
But she quickly covered it up, and Yukino Yukinoshita and Shinka Nibutani didn't seem to notice anything.
Haru was thick-skinned, so naturally he wouldn't let the two discover anything either.
The next day, Haru's spiritual plant cultivation task was successfully completed.
The golden finger he had been longing for finally arrived.
"Let's see the effect."
At home, Haru cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, dripping it on the fruits he had prepared.
Strawberries, grapes, cherries, mangoes, bananas, and so on.
All were fruits.
Haru didn't dare experiment with his blood on herbs yet, since medicine could be poisonous, and Haru didn't understand traditional medicine, so he didn't dare eat randomly.
He planned to supplement his knowledge of medicine later, then use herbs to configure spiritual plants.
For the fruits, Haru tried dripping a drop of blood on each type.
Haru estimated that different fruits, when cultivated with his blood to become spiritual fruits, would probably have different effects.
Facts proved that Haru's guess was correct.
After the fruits absorbed Haru's blood, they quickly underwent changes.
Their color, size, and smell all changed, evolving in a more appealing direction.
Just smelling the aroma, Haru felt his whole body become much more relaxed, as if his mental state had improved.
"Tsk, I should have known I didn't need to go to the amusement park yesterday. Just giving Shinka Nibutani a spiritual fruit would have been enough."
Haru felt a bit regretful, but not much, since last night had been quite fun anyway.
After eating a strawberry modified by Haru's blood, Haru immediately felt a massive surge of energy flowing into his body.
One strawberry modified by his blood released almost as much energy as eating meat for half a day, maybe even more.
Moreover, Haru felt that after consuming this strawberry, his body immediately underwent some kind of change.
"The efficiency of absorbing energy seems to be getting faster."
Haru closed his eyes, deep in thought, and vaguely sensed that the strawberry cultivated with his blood could enhance his digestive ability.
Moreover, there seemed to be other changes.
They were happening to his skin.
Haru looked in the mirror.
On the surface, there didn't seem to be much change.
However, his powerful five senses could clearly perceive that his skin had become somewhat better looking.
Whiter, more tender, not only had the skin pigmentation improved, but the degree of aging was also decreasing.
However, because this change was too subtle, if not for Haru's powerful senses, he probably wouldn't have noticed.
"This is because I only dripped one drop of blood, so the strawberry's effect isn't that obvious yet."
Haru realized.
The spiritual plants he wanted to cultivate—the better their effects, the more blood he would need to use.
If he dripped several more drops of blood on the strawberry, his skin would probably immediately become even better looking than Yukino Yukinoshita's.
If he sold them, women all over the world would go crazy, and becoming a billionaire would probably be a matter of months.
But obviously, Haru's blood couldn't be used limitlessly.
He was even less likely to sell the spiritual plants he cultivated to others for some money.
Subsequently, Haru tasted several other types of fruit one by one.
It was actually a bit risky, but Haru was confident that with his powerful recovery ability, even if these spiritual fruits had negative effects, he could easily resolve them.
Sure enough, what happened next further confirmed Haru's guess—different spiritual fruits had different effects.
Some strengthened blood, some enhanced senses, some strengthened internal organs...
All spiritual fruits could help Haru quickly replenish energy.
From now on, Haru would no longer have to worry about spending too much time eating every day, and his progress in training the Six Powers would also increase at an explosive rate.
After eating too much at once, Haru had to practice the Six Powers in his room to release that excess energy.
He felt his progress rapidly improve several times over.
Originally, his stamina could only use the not-very-skilled Shave once or twice before being almost exhausted.
But because he ate several spiritual fruits, he used it more than ten times before his stamina was depleted.
His proficiency also improved dramatically.
The same was true for Shave and other techniques. At this rate, Haru was confident he could soon master the Six Powers completely, even achieve great mastery.
With spiritual plant cultivation in hand, it meant one slot in Haru's task list was freed up, and he could learn new abilities again.
As for what ability to learn next, Haru had a vague idea.
"I've considered systematizing the physical side before, but the improvement of mental power also needs to be systematized."
"Once I get meditation techniques, I'll have the ability to improve mental power, but I can't just improve mental power—I also need to master methods of using mental power."
Haru's eyes flickered. He used abilities that consumed both stamina and mental power, which meant Haru needed to develop not only physically but also mentally in parallel. So systematizing mental power was also very necessary.
As for which system to reference for mental power systematization, Haru hadn't thought of it yet.
And because Haru was experimenting with spiritual fruits and practicing the Six Powers, he was almost late. Haru could only quickly wash up and rush to the subway station.
"I'm definitely going to be late now."
After getting off the subway, Haru knew he wouldn't make it in time. He hoped he wouldn't run into Shizuka Hiratsuka, or he'd get lectured for half the day.
When he arrived at the school gate, Haru discovered he wasn't the only one who was late.
There was also a petite, short-haired girl slowly walking toward the school.
What was strange was that the girl walked two steps and paused two steps, and her head would tilt from time to time, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Originally, when Haru was still several hundred meters away, the girl was less than ten meters from the school gate.
But by the time Haru was about to enter the gate, the girl was still several meters away from the school entrance.
"What a weirdo."
Haru looked back helplessly.
The moment he saw the girl, he was stunned.
He saw that she was quite a cute beautiful girl with pretty short hair, regular features, snow-white skin like jade, a petite figure, a slender waist that could be held in one grip, slender straight legs, wearing white knee-high socks.
The girl was squinting her eyes, giving off a fluffy, soft feeling, walking and stopping, actually dozing off while walking.
This behavior, combined with her childlike physique that looked like Sanae Dekomori's, was naturally cute to the extreme.
[Ding, someone with suggestion qualifications has been discovered: Kumin Tsuyuri!]
The system's notification sound rang out.
Actually, Haru didn't need the system's notification—he had already recognized who was in front of him.
The Far East Magic Society's missing senior, whose greatest talent was sleeping, able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
The reason Haru was stunned wasn't because he was amazed by the senior's cuteness.
Rather, the moment he saw Kumin Tsuyuri, he knew which mental cultivation system he should reference.
It was a system with an absurdly high upper limit, and also one that perfectly matched his needs.
"It's you!" Haru took a deep breath, his eyes lighting up.
Then, without hesitation, he stepped forward and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.
Kumin Tsuyuri immediately woke up.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Kumin Tsuyuri's adorably confused face showed a moment of panic.
"Th-this student, do you need something?" she asked weakly in a flustered manner, as if she had done something wrong.
She didn't consider at all that it was someone else who had woken her up from her sleep.
The next moment, she was stunned.
"Coach, please teach me basketball!" Haru said with a serious expression.
Kumin Tsuyuri widened her cute eyes with a completely confused expression: "I, I don't know how to play basketball, student-kun."
"I said it wrong." Haru's face reddened slightly, then he said, "Senpai, please teach me deep sleep!"
"Eh? You're an underclassman? I thought you were a third-year senior," Kumin Tsuyuri was stunned for a moment, immediately relaxing, but then her beautiful eyes showed a hint of delighted surprise. "Kouhai-kun, are you also interested in napping? That's wonderful!"
Excited, she grabbed Haru's hands with both of hers, as if she had found a kindred spirit in life.
This was the first time Haru had encountered such a naturally cute beautiful girl. Even someone naturally airheaded like Yui Hirasawa wouldn't make such a bold move.
However, considering that Kumin Tsuyuri had been studying abroad in Europe before, he could understand her bold behavior.
Haru's face didn't redden and his heart didn't skip a beat as he added a bit more force to his hands, feeling the senpai's soft little hands.
He said seriously:
"That's right, senpai. I'm very interested in deep sleep. I heard that people who can enter deep sleep can easily improve their spiritual realm, develop life force, and those skilled in deep sleep can even hypnotize others with a single thought."
"I greatly admire such abilities. Please, senpai, you must teach me!"
Although Kumin Tsuyuri was natural, she wasn't completely ignorant about romantic matters between men and women.
Therefore, feeling Haru's hands applying more pressure, her snow-white cheeks couldn't help but show a hint of pink.
However, when she heard what Haru said next, she became somewhat confused:
"Um, kouhai-kun, deep sleep is just a deeper state of sleep. It doesn't seem to have the effects you mentioned."
What about improving spiritual realm, developing life force, or even hypnotizing others...
Where did this kouhai hear such strange things?
Kumin Tsuyuri suddenly felt this kouhai was a bit odd.
"Senpai, this is knowledge I found in ancient texts," Haru smiled slightly. Of course, deep sleep in this world didn't have those abilities.
What he said was deliberately meant to deceive Kumin-senpai, so that she would give him such suggestions.
"Deep sleep is the first realm of the mental cultivation system from the Star River world."
"The mental cultivation system of the Star River world is a system for training the spirit. This kind of system is actually most suitable for me—it can not only improve mental power but also enhance physical constitution, with an absurdly high upper limit."
Haru's eyes flickered with anticipation.
The moment he saw Kumin Tsuyuri, he knew which path his mental cultivation system should take.
It was precisely the mental cultivation system of the Star River world—cultivating the power of the mind, which is mental power, ultimately reaching omniscience and omnipotence, transcending heaven and earth!
