Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"As long as we proceed step by step, in the end..."

"Perhaps without violence, I can make Mr. Smiling Fox mine, inside and out, forever and ever, hehe, hehehe~"

Amamiya Yukiho lowered her head with a playful laugh, her loose hair casting a shadow over her eyes, leaving only the corners of her mouth visible.

If a passerby saw this scene, they might suspect that Lady Amamiya would pull out a knife and stab someone at any moment.

Kana Aragaki blinked.

what.

In the end, we came full circle.

Sure enough, her young lady's true nature hasn't changed at all~

Mr. Smiling Fox, it seems you still have a long way to go...

"Kikuri-chan, I'm really suffering! Please comfort me!"

At the same time, Hideyuki Hoshino rushed down the mountain at high speed.

He had messaged Ichikiku yesterday, asking her to pick him up, so at this moment, looking at the reply on his phone, he quickly found a gray sedan with the window open on the side of the road and immediately got in.

Then he transformed back into his pink fox form, hugged the driver's soft thigh, and burst into tears.

Who would have thought that, faced with such a pitiful little fox, the driver would so utterly lack humanity as to say:

Why do you smell so strongly of lilies?

As mentioned above, Ichikiku interrogated the fox.

Chapter 180 Fox: One-shot output! Follow me to overthrow the system!

"Well, here's how it is, let me tell you first."

Facing the suspicious look in Ijichi Kiku's eyes, the fox coughed twice and calmly said:

"You must have seen it on the news, right? This time, I encountered a group of cult members."

Kikuri Ijichi nodded; this was consistent with what she currently knew.

Hideyuki Hoshino continued, "But that's not the whole story, because these cultists aren't ordinary humans. On the contrary, they possess a secret technique for raising and taming monsters."

"And the monster they like to use the most is the lily flower fairy."

"So when I'm dealing with them, it's inevitable that I'll have to fight these flower fairies, and it's perfectly reasonable for me to get some fragrance on myself..."

Ijichi Kikuri continued to nod.

"Yes, that makes perfect sense. At least I can't hear anything wrong with it."

"Right, right~"

"But my intuition tells me you're lying to me."

"Kikuri, you're an adult, you should understand that intuition is unreliable, right?"

"Yes, I understand, but... I think the fox is even less trustworthy!"

Kikuchi Iji raised an eyebrow: "So it really was a case of running into a cheater, wasn't it!"

Hoshino Hideyuki quickly said, "No, this time it's not a cat, oh no, I mean, don't be so hasty, let me try another explanation, maybe then you'll believe me..."

However, Kikuri Iji no longer intended to listen to the fox.

She smiled, but her pupils lacked luster. With one hand, she unzipped her thin down jacket, while with the other, she grabbed the fox by the scruff of its neck and shoved it into her arms...

Instantly, the fox felt the prickly touch of the sweater all over its body, as well as the fullness and softness hidden behind the yarn.

...and incidentally, I also generated a lot of static electricity.

"Hey, wait, are you treating me like a rag or a cat? Foxes are solids, not fluids, so be gentle!"

After fiddling around for several tens of seconds...

Ijichi Kikuri and Hoshino Hideyuki have successfully "reunited".

Hoshino Hideyuki's furry head peeked out from the collar of his down jacket through the valley, tilting his head to look at Iji Chikiku's face above him and said, "I don't mind this pose, but from this angle, your face looks really big."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Kikuchi Iji blushed, nodded slightly, and felt the soft touch of the fox fur with her chin as she whispered, "As long as I can get you back into my scent before we get to the inn..."

After saying that, she started the car and drove along the highway towards Nara City.

Hideyuki Hoshino blinked but didn't say anything more.

Anyway, this position is quite comfortable, so Old Man Fox isn't at a disadvantage. When Ichikiku tries to take him out, he'll get a few static shocks, which will give him some amusement...

After enjoying the scenery outside the car window for a while, Hoshino Hideyuki stopped disturbing Iji Chikiku's driving and instead summoned the system.

The mission was successfully completed; it's time to settle the rewards!

At this point, he still had 61 cultivation points left. After thinking for a moment, he decided to try his luck with a lottery and upgrade the Seventy-Two Transformations to level 5.

[Giveaway begins]

You have obtained a wooden fish (which can be used after reading the hellish joke)

You have obtained a wooden fish (which can be used after reading the hellish joke)

【you……】

[You have obtained the item - The Compassionate Little Boy: A 1:1 replica of the atomic bomb used in actual combat for the first time in human history. Although it will not actually explode, it is enough to intimidate any carbon-based life form that sees it for the first time (I love this kind of hot-tempered - the perverted priest passing by)]

No, Brother Tong.

What the hell did you give me?

You just finished delivering the wooden fish, and now you're telling a hellish joke?

Gee tut.

Hoshino Hideyuki really wanted to take this thing out and play with it right now, but unfortunately, the conditions didn't allow it.

After all, in my memory, this cute little boy was three meters tall and weighed four tons. If it were a one-to-one replica, it would definitely burst this little car.

So he suppressed his excitement and decided to upgrade his skills first...

and many more……

What the hell is this?

Hoshino Hideyuki was surprised to find that upgrading the Seventy-Two Transformations to level 5 would consume 50 cultivation points!

Why? Can the system also experience inflation?

Based on the calculation that a level 1 increase is 5 to 10 points, shouldn't it only be 30 or 35 points?

Not only that, but as he tried to upgrade, a notification popped up on his retina:

[The skill will undergo certain changes upon reaching level 5, and can only be mastered after the host becomes a great demon.]

What do you mean? If I don't become a great demon to begin with, leveling up is useless?

Having never encountered anything like this before, Hoshino Hideyuki smacked his lips, his feelings a bit complicated.

On one hand, I'm somewhat happy.

The huge cost and the system notification indicate that these skills will definitely be incredibly powerful once they reach level 5! There's a high probability they'll even receive a mechanics upgrade!

But on the other hand, it's a real headache...

How can I become a great monster?

I can't come!

I've basically gotten stronger thanks to you, Brother Tong!

Hideyuki Hoshino felt like he was caught in some kind of cycle.

System: You need to become a great monster before you can continue to add points and level up.

Fox: But if I want to become a bigger monster, I need to add some points first!

System: If you want to add points, you must first become a great monster!

Fox: How can I become a great monster if you don't let me add points?

Spicy balls!

Deep Blue is on strike, and Fox is stuck at a certain level!

Hoshino Hideyuki pondered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

If I can't think of anything, I'll stop thinking about it for now.

Let's seal away the remaining cultivation points for now, in case we come up with a better method later...

With this in mind, Hoshino Hideyuki took one last look at his stats:

[Name: Hoshino Hideyuki]

[Race: Laughing Fox~?^.???^?]

[Talent: Meditation and Cultivation]

[Talent Description: Omitted~?(???)?]

[Current Skills: Charm (lv1), Mirror Image (lv4), Seventy-Two Transformations (lv4), Hairy Warrior (lv3), Heart Moonfire (lv4), Fast, Easy, and Economical Fox Fairy Technique (lv4), Eye of Insight (lv2)]

[Current Items: Absolutely Safe Cotton Blanket, Oiled Paper Wrapped for Use Anytime Digging, Tenfold Return Steamed Bun, Carefree and Joyful Wind and Thunder Fan, Loyal and Reliable Good Friend, Compassionate Little Boy]

[Remaining cultivation points: 51]

It's so beautiful.

It would be perfect if a few more level 5 characters were added.

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed softly and shut down the system.

Sensing something was wrong, Kikuri Ijichi, who was driving, asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Hmm, I just discovered that I've been cursed by the dark organization 'Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect'. From now on, if I can't hear the [ding] sound every moment, my whole body will itch!"

Ijichi Kikuri: ?
