However, although this item's effect was different from the Elixir of Iron from the game League of Legends that Kobayashi Itsuki remembered...
The effect was absolutely fantastic!
Nothing more to say!
Although this potion was a one-time use, for Kobayashi Itsuki, who was encountering a supernatural item for the first time, it was already very good.
This bottle of potion, saved for when danger struck, had the miraculous effect of turning a desperate situation around!
Fifteen minutes, no exaggeration, was almost invincible in front of ordinary people.
Three times the physical fitness of an ordinary person, that was no different from a mini-superman.
And with Steel Skin, ordinary cold weapons, or small-caliber firearms, should have no effect on him.
If he had drawn this Elixir of Iron when he encountered those guys last night, the thought of the scene after taking the drug made Kobayashi Itsuki feel a little excited.
Wouldn't that mean killing anyone who blocks the path, completely unstoppable
"I must not use it recklessly unless absolutely necessary. This is a life-saving treasure."
The first blue treasure chest yielded a miraculous item like the Elixir of Iron, raising Kobayashi Itsuki's expectations for the blue treasure chest to another level.
Rubbing his hands together, Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the remaining treasure chest.
"Open the blue treasure chest!"
Mutating the command internally, Kobayashi Itsuki waited expectantly for the System's prompt.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received Omega Constellation Watch * 1.]
The second blue treasure chest wasn't as lucky as the first.
What came out wasn't an item or ability possessing supernatural power, but a watch.
He knew without thinking—even with his eyes closed—that this watch definitely wasn't cheap; after all, the items from the green treasure chest weren't cheap either.
Let alone something from a blue treasure chest.
Kobayashi Itsuki immediately opened his computer and searched online.
Good heavens, he didn't know until he checked, and checking gave him a shock.
The basic model of this Constellation Series watch cost 1.8 million, and a slight variation pushed the price over 2 million.
That was equivalent to Kobayashi Itsuki's interest payments for two full months.
Even when converted to RMB from his previous life, it was worth 100,000.
That amount was something Kobayashi Itsuki couldn't afford in his previous life, and barely anyone around him wore such high-end goods, let alone in Japan, where the economy was currently unstable.
Anyone who could easily spend money on such luxury goods right now was definitely rich.
"Tsk, this really seems set on molding me into the persona of a wealthy young master."
"It's fine to wear it for now. If I can't gather the interest payment next month, I can sell it and get a good amount of money."
Thinking this, Kobayashi Itsuki felt extremely happy.
The results of this draw were truly excellent.
A potion that granted him temporary supernatural power, and a watch worth two million.
This blue chest truly gave him two massive surprises right off the bat.
Just thinking about it made him happy.
"As expected, the blue chests are amazing. I must increase my favorability and try my best to get more blue chests."
"With blue chests, the debt truly won't be a problem then."
Speaking of blue chests, Kobayashi Itsuki, holding the mouse, silently clicked open a webpage.
It was his email inbox. He wanted to see if there were any messages regarding his nomination.
Just as he opened his inbox, a small red dot indicating a new message appeared before him.
Clicking open the inbox, he clearly saw an email from Fujimi Bunko.
"Dear Akira..."
Seeing the email, Kobayashi Itsuki pumped his fist and cheered.
What kind of day was this? Good news kept coming one after another.
This email was sent by the Fujimi Editorial Department, asking for Kobayashi Itsuki's contact information to schedule a detailed discussion regarding the publication of planetarian: the reverie of a little star.
Works nominated for the Newcomer Award were all eligible for serialization.
The specific remuneration would depend on the performance after the Newcomer Award concluded.
The better the performance, the naturally higher the standards.
Leaving aside the Newcomer Award prize money, the revenue from serialization alone would be a considerable sum.
"I've really been lucky these past two days; good things are rushing to deliver themselves to me."
Kobayashi Itsuki's joy at this moment was almost indescribable.
He decisively left his phone number and replied to the email.
All that remained was waiting for them to contact him, but that would likely be tomorrow.
It was already a bit late now, so they were probably resting.
"I should hear something tomorrow."
He shut down the computer, but his emotions hadn't settled down yet.
He quickly rushed into the bathroom and took a shower, which finally calmed his restless heart.
He glanced at the time; it was already late. Kobayashi Itsuki lay down in bed and slowly drifted off to sleep, a faint, delicate fragrance mysteriously lingering around his nose... Early the next morning, Kobayashi Itsuki woke up refreshed.
He quickly made himself breakfast, put on his new watch, and headed to the Kindergarten.
Arriving at the Kindergarten exactly at eight o'clock, Kobayashi Itsuki first went to the changing room to put on his sportswear and began cleaning.
As usual, the kindergarten bus arrived on time, and the children from the three classes began boarding.
After finishing his tasks, Kobayashi Itsuki returned to the office and silently waited for his phone to ring.
At this hour, the Editor should already be at work. This feeling of waiting was truly difficult to bear.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.
Around nine o'clock, Kobayashi Itsuki's phone rang; an unfamiliar number was calling.
"Moshi moshi."
"Hello, may I please speak to Akira? I am Editor Ohara Nanako from Fujimi Bunko..."
"Eh?"
Kobayashi Itsuki was stunned internally, then turned to look at his phone, completely bewildered.
He wondered if he had misheard just now.
Ohara Nanako?
Was it the Ohara Nanako he knew of?
Or was it just a coincidence of names... "Moshi moshi, Akira (Real translation of the name is ''A good teacher with an optimistic and cheerful attitude'' but i have use Akira instead), are you still there?"
The crisp voice coming from the other end of the phone interrupted Kobayashi Itsuki's thoughts.
"I'm listening, I'm listening. I apologize, I got distracted just now."
"No problem. It's like this: I wanted to ask if you have time today. If possible..."
The caller wanted to arrange a meeting with Kobayashi Itsuki to discuss whether he was willing to serialize his work, as well as the remuneration after serialization, and other related matters.
If things went smoothly, signing the contract would be ideal.
Kobayashi Itsuki accepted the invitation without hesitation.
It wasn't just the long-awaited contract signing; what concerned Kobayashi Itsuki more was whether this Ohara Nanako was truly the person he had in mind.
