Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

But inviting me to live together is way too direct!

Should I agree or not?

Seeing Lu Chen's handsome face and feeling the mysterious aura emanating from him, Shirase Mariko felt that Lu Chen's request was somewhat abrupt, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. Her face flushed, she nodded and said:

"Okay, Mr. Lu Chen, where do you live?"

Lu Chen pointed to Yu Cheng within the mountain and said:

“I live with him. Have you heard of the Great Sky Temple? This guy is a monk there.”

Upon hearing this, Shirase Mariko was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had misunderstood the meaning behind Lu Chen's words.

For some reason, Shirase Mariko felt a sense of disappointment. Was she disappointed that she couldn't live with Lu Chen? Shirase Mariko herself couldn't explain it.

After calming herself down, Shirase Mariko nodded emphatically:

"Okay, I'll move there tomorrow."

Later, at the Great Sky Temple.

After a long day of work, Tenkuji Takeru returned to the temple, feeling utterly exhausted.

When he returned, he saw Yamauchi Miki and Lu Chen sitting at the table eating snacks and chatting happily.

Akari Tsukimura was also at the table, questioning the two of them with a curious expression.

Chapter 158 And the reward he received from Shirase Marie afterward was extraordinary.

Seeing the three of them enjoying themselves, Tenkuuji Takeru, who had been busy all day, felt a little annoyed.

He thought to himself that he had been busy all day investigating Robin Hood, working like a dog, while the three of you were here drinking and laughing. Wasn't that a bit too leisurely?

Tenkuuji no Sanzun angrily strode forward and asked:

"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time."

"Happy, of course I'm very happy, Your Highness. You'll be very happy after hearing this."

Yamauchi Onari said with a grin.

"That's not possible."

Tenkuji-zun sat down and said angrily.

"I spent the whole day searching for John the Thief but couldn't find him. All I found out was that she was a woman, and probably not very old."

"Now that the days are passing by and we haven't found many souls, do you think I can be happy?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly:

"You'll be happy to hear this news."

Tenkuuji Takeru said irritably, "Then tell me, what good news is there that makes you so happy?"

Suddenly, Akari Tsukimura stretched out her hand, her tightly clenched fist slowly opening to reveal an eye spirit inside.

"Lu Chen has found a new Eye Soul, and he said he'd give it to you. Isn't that news enough to make you happy?"

Seeing the new Eye Soul in Tsukimura Akari's hand, Tenkuji Takeru's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this real? How did you find a new Eyecon?"

Yamauchi reached out and stopped Tsukimura Akari and Lu Chen, saying excitedly:

"Let me speak, let me speak about this, let me speak to His Highness."

Lu Chen and Tsukimura Akari exchanged a smile, neither of them having any objections.

Just as Yamauchi Mikuri was excitedly telling Tenkuji Mikoto about their encounter with Shirase Mariko and their defeat of the Axe-Eyed Demon, Lu Chen finally had time to calmly examine the rewards.

On this trip to complete the commission, he first obtained archery expertise from the client, the old man.

Then, he obtained the throwing axe specialization from the Axe-Eyed Demon.

The two rewards of 852 each were acceptable, but the reward he received from Shirase Mariko afterward was extraordinary—4278, a reward Lu Chen had never imagined. Its name was:

··········Requesting flowers······

Seed of the Dimensional Barrier!!!

Lu Chen naturally knew what the dimensional wall was; it was Wang Xiaoming's signature skill, and also the powerful skill he used to travel between different worlds.

Logically speaking, Lu Chen should only be able to obtain the abilities that the other party possesses.

......... 0

For example, the old man who commissioned this project was a person who loved archery and was skilled at it, which is why he had a collection of Robin Hood's bows and arrows, and why Lu Chen was able to obtain archery expertise from him.

For example, Axe-Eyed Demon is an axe user, so it's not surprising that you could get the throwing axe specialization from him.

The problem is, Shirase Mariko is just an ordinary reporter. Apart from her somewhat complicated background, what does she have to do with the dimensional barrier?

She couldn't possibly be Tsukasa Kadoya's half-sibling, could she?

According to what Lu Chen knew, Tsukasa Kadoya did have a younger sister, but her name was Sayo Kadoya.

So when Lu Chen saw this reward, he thought he was seeing things.

Chapter 159 After meeting Wang Xiaoming one day, I used the dimensional barrier in front of him.

Also, why is the reward a Dimensional Wall Seed instead of directly obtaining a Dimensional Wall?

With this question in mind, Lu Chen silently asked himself:

"System, aren't you going to explain this? What's this Dimensional Wall Seed all about? Could it be that in your judgment, Shirase Mariko has the same talent as Wang Xiaoming, and that Shirase Mariko has a chance to awaken the Dimensional Wall?"

If that's really the case, then Shirase "Nanami" Mariko's background needs to be thoroughly investigated. She is definitely not an ordinary person. Her parents or ancestors must have been Kamen Riders or monsters!

However, the system's answer was exactly what Lu Chen had expected.

"The host will gain a brand new ability every time he travels to a new world."

"In the previous Kamen Rider W world, the host's ability was 'Charismatic,' which could make strangers less wary of you and more likely to like you."

"Upon arriving in this world, the host will gain a new ability called 'Reward Mutation.' As the name suggests, every time the host receives a new reward, there is a one in a thousand chance that the reward will mutate."

"The reward after mutation will be either a knight-level or monster-level reward."

I see...

Lu Chen never expected that he would gain a new ability every time he entered a new world.

And this ability is just too powerful!

Even though the probability of one in a thousand may not seem very high, something is better than nothing, isn't it?

This means that even when Lu Chen interacts with ordinary people, he could potentially receive knight-level rewards! It's practically a god-level ability!

Putting aside everything else, this Dimensional Barrier Seed alone is worth the price of admission.

This is a dimensional barrier that's one in a million!

Lu Chen then asked inwardly:

"System, you haven't explained what this dimensional barrier is all about. Can I use the dimensional barrier directly?"

The system's emotionless, mechanical voice immediately rang out:

"No, to use the Dimensional Wall, you must first hatch the Dimensional Wall Seed. The method for hatching is to absorb the energy of five different monsters. Currently, the Dimensional Wall Seed has already absorbed the energy of the Axe-Eyed Demon. The host only needs to defeat four more Eye Demons to obtain the Dimensional Wall..."

Four beholders are nothing to Lu Chen; he can complete this task quickly.

The thought of soon possessing Wang Xiaoming's signature skill filled Lu Chen with excitement.

As a fan of knights, Lu Chen naturally liked Wang Xiaoming a lot and looked forward to meeting him one day.

I can already picture the scene: when I meet Wang Xiaoming one day, I use the dimensional barrier in front of him. I wonder what Wang Xiaoming's expression will be then?

Surprise, anger, confusion, delight, doubt?

"Lu Chen, Lu Chen?"

At this moment, Akari Tsukimura gently nudged Lu Chen, and Lu Chen finally came back to his senses.

"Xiao Zun is calling you."

Lu Chen looked up and saw Tenkuji Mikoto looking at him excitedly. Mikoto bowed deeply and said, "Lu Chen, thank you for helping me find a new Eye Soul!"

Lu Chen waved his hand dismissively and said:

"It's alright, consider this look as payment for Shirase Mariko's accommodation."

Chapter 160 Tenkuji-zun was the first to summon the Ghost Driver.

"What does 'Shirase Mariko's accommodation fee' mean?"

Yamauchi Misaki hadn't told Tenkuji Takeru about Shirase Mariko coming to stay here yet, so he continued to explain.

After hearing the explanation from the mountain, Tenkuji no Mikoto readily agreed.

"Sure, there are plenty of empty rooms in the temple anyway, so let Shirase Mariko come and stay. As for the room rate, it doesn't matter."

To be honest, Tenkuji-sensei originally had some dissatisfaction with Lu Chen. After all, this guy was taller, more handsome, and stronger than him. Any normal man would feel a little jealous.

However, when he learned that Lu Chen had acquired a new Eye Soul and had unhesitatingly handed it over to Yamauchi Misaki, asking him to give it to him, Tenkuji Mikoto's jealousy vanished instantly. He even felt a little annoyed and regretful, wondering how he could have been so petty as to try to steal the heart of a gentleman.

Lu Chen is clearly a really good person!
