Chapter 22: Chapter 22 New Incentive Methods

Clearly.

A morning run, along with over an hour of exercise, was far from enough to change the "Useless Otaku" title of the neighbor.

Therefore, after "escaping" from the gym, Chen Yu took him to the largest swimming pool in Qingcheng City, ready to start a new sport.

He wasn't in a hurry anyway.

The "Useless Otaku" title above his own head had just changed and could last for nearly a month.

A month's time was more than enough for the neighbor's "title" to change several times.

Moreover, Chen Yu wasn't planning to copy the other party's abilities for the time being.

Because he simply didn't think much of them.

Even if the skills like [(F+ Grade) Superior Muscle Cells] and [(F- Grade) Unique Memory] were not bad, and there was even [(E- Grade) Speedy Wrists] which was like a Divine Artifact for fighting.

But ultimately, they were not considered "special abilities."

They couldn't excite Chen Yu's nerves.

What's more...

He currently knew too little about his own "Golden Finger," uncertain whether the copying of abilities was "once per person" or "multiple times per person."

If it was the former, it meant that once he copied the neighbor's "skills," that person would become useless to him.

Then he would just be wasting the over twenty days waiting for his own "title" to update.

So, it was better to take advantage of the current convenient conditions to keep experimenting on the neighbor. This way, he could better understand how to use his "Golden Finger."

"What are we doing here?"

Upon entering the impressive swimming pool, the chubby neighbor was somewhat constrained, standing behind Chen Yu and asking in a low voice.

Chen Yu simply took out his phone, scanned the payment code at the front desk, and put up two fingers, "Get membership, two. One month's worth."

"Certainly, sir, please wait a moment," the front desk girl glanced at the "Useless Otaku" title above Chen Yu's head, didn't say much, showed no expression as she prepared the cards, and handed them over, "Take care of these."

"I... I don't know how to swim!" the chubby neighbor hurriedly tugged on Chen Yu's clothes.

"If you don't know, you learn," Chen Yu took the membership card and headed straight inside.

In fact, he didn't know how to swim either...

"Sir, that's the women's changing area," the front desk girl maintained her expressionless face, "You should go to the right."

"Oh, thank you," Chen Yu corrected his direction.

Once in the changing room, he stripped off his clothes and bought two new pairs of swim trunks. One for himself and one thrown to the neighbor.

After he was dressed and turned around, he saw that the neighbor was so fat that a single pair of swim trunks had "cinched" him into two sections...

"...Maybe you shouldn't wear them," after a long silence, Chen Yu suggested, "Your belly's big enough to cover up anyway."

The chubby neighbor: "..."

Ten minutes later.

He found a staff member and went out to buy a larger pair of swim trunks. Only then did Chen Yu successfully bring his neighbor into the swimming pool.

Approaching the deepwater area, Chen Yu pointed to the surface of the water and said to his neighbor, "Go down and swim."

The chubby neighbor: "I've told you, I don't know how to swim."

Chen Yu suggested, "Babies are born swimmers. You can try to recall your swimming skills from when you were a baby."

The chubby neighbor: "...I really can't remember."

"Such a hassle," Chen Yu frowned, looked around the pool, and spotted a lifeguard near the deepwater area, "See that lifeguard? Jump in the water near him. If you start drowning, he'll save you. It's like running a instance without any loss, and after a few dunks, you'll have learned."

The chubby neighbor: "..."

"Sigh, what a waste," seeing that the other party didn't move, Chen Yu waved his hand in annoyance, walked to the corner of the pool, grabbed a swimming ring that was either deflated or not, and threw it to the neighbor, "Wear it and go down."

"I'm not going." The plump neighbor took a half step back, "How about we switch to another exercise?"

"..." Chen Yu patted his smooth waist and, realizing he hadn't brought his knife, fell silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into song, "I've decided to meddle in your life?~ to be your fashion advisor?~ to be your fashion advisor?~ don't say you can't oh?~ oh oh?!"

With that, he instantly drew the attention of dozens of people at the pool.

They all looked over at Chen Yu and his companion with puzzled surprise.

The socially anxious plump neighbor's face instantly turned green.

"Let's ride the sunlight?~ surf on the sea?~ catch her eye?~ don't be afraid..."

"Stop singing, I'll go in the water! I'll go in the water!" The plump neighbor, face downcast, hugged the swim ring and jumped into the pool.

With a "splash," water splashed all around.

Stopping the song and opening his mouth, Chen Yu wiped the water from his face and satisfyingly found a place to sit.

While watching his neighbor flounder in the water, he observed the change in the other's "title."

A [Useless Otaku], just like this, if he keeps exercising for a few days, there's no reason his title wouldn't change.

But as he watched, Chen Yu's gaze shifted.

It settled on a long-haired girl by the shallow end.

The girl, seemingly because of her sexy swimsuit, appeared extremely attractive and attention-grabbing. Chen Yu hadn't been staring long before he couldn't help but approach her.

"Hello, beauty," Chen Yu initiated the conversation.

The swimsuit girl, with the title [Female College Student] above her head, turned to glance at Chen Yu. Especially after pausing for half a second on Chen Yu's [Useless Otaku] title, she turned back around and said indifferently, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Chen Yu: "...Even if you had a sugar daddy, what does that have to do with me?"

The swimsuit beauty frowned and looked at Chen Yu again, "What do you want?"

"I need a favor."

"I'm busy."

"A deposit of ten thousand, thirty thousand upon completion."

"What favor." The swimsuit beauty promptly changed her tune.

"Do you see that fat guy?" Chen Yu pointed to his neighbor in the deep end, "That's my buddy, he's never dated anyone. If you can win him over, without any intimate actions needed, just being able to confirm a relationship, I'll give you a payment of thirty thousand yuan."

"How long does the relationship have to last?" The swimsuit girl was straightforward.

"No more than a week. You can break up afterwards if you want."

"You're trying to play a prank on your friend, right? Deal." The swimsuit girl's lips curved upward as she took out her phone, "Make the transfer. An otaku, I can settle him in one day."

"OK." Chen Yu didn't waste words and directly transferred ten thousand to the swimsuit girl.

"Ding!"

With the cash received, the swimsuit girl smiled and then walked confidently towards the plump neighbor, "You rich second generations are really interesting."

"I'm first generation rich." Chen Yu corrected.

The swimsuit girl looked back, "That's even more interesting."

Sitting where the swimsuit girl had been, Chen Yu enjoyed the warmth beneath him while observing the "battlefield."

He saw the swimsuit girl approach, bend over to show off half of her cleavage, and say to the neighbor, "Hey handsome, are you alone?"

The plump neighbor panicked, his face turned beet red, and he struggled and sank under the water.

"Glug glug" came the bubbles.

The swimsuit girl stood bewildered for a moment, then turned her head in astonishment to look at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also processed the situation for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Lifeguard! Someone's drowning!"
