The next day, Xinhengyuan looked at the panel and couldn't help but smile.

Compared to before the battle with Hanako, the current stats are almost completely transformed.

The 19 points of strength gave him the confidence to fight in close combat, so that he would no longer be in a situation like when he faced Hanako, where being caught in close combat was tantamount to a death sentence.

Although the increase in charm was only slight and had a negligible impact on the power of spells, it was better than nothing.

What truly put his mind at ease was the improvement in his physique. Although it only increased by 1 point, it was entirely due to his own training, without any system-added points or equipment enhancements.

This shows that training can indeed improve physical attributes, at least in the lower range of values!

And after obtaining the help of two divine weapons that could restrain the eight-foot-tall man: the Heavenly Feather Blade and the wooden sculpture of Jizo Bodhisattva.

Now, Xinhengyuan is fully confident in dealing with that eight-foot-tall man!

However, just to be on the safe side, Xin Hengyuan went and bought some more sea salt. The skillful Qingyue cut a square piece of canvas from his old shirt and sewed a palm-sized drawstring bag, carefully finishing the edges with a dark stitch, just enough to hang on the belt buckle.

In this way, Xin Hengyuan can put the sea salt into a cloth bag and grab a handful to throw out whenever he needs it. He hung the cloth bag on his waist and casually tried grabbing the salt. It felt smooth and the position was just right.

Xinhengyuan is very satisfied.

Qingyue is indeed skillful and ingenious, without a doubt.

Unlike Tomie, who only eats there.

Tomie:……

Have I not escaped my family of origin yet?

"Let's go." Standing at the door, Shingen greeted Tomie and Kiyotsuki.

"Are you just leaving like this? Aren't you going to prepare a bento?" Tomie asked, looking puzzled.

"No need, this is fine." Xin Hengyuan took out a handful of bright red berries from his pocket, exactly ten.

These were prepared by Xinhengyuan before bed last night using the [Divine Berry Technique]. The berries produced by the [Divine Berry Technique] are considered strategic-level materials. They are small in size and weight, convenient and quick to produce, and one berry can meet the nutritional needs of an organism for a whole day.

The only downside is that it only has a shelf life of 24 hours. After that, it will turn back into a regular berry and can only be eaten as a snack.

"Here, one for each person, you can only eat one." Xinhengyuan smiled and spread out his palm.

Qingyue stepped forward, picked up a berry, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up. It was sweet but not cloying, with a touch of sourness. The taste was absolutely wonderful!

Tomie reached out and snatched several pieces, then popped them into her mouth.

The moment the berries went down, a strong feeling of fullness surged up, as if my stomach was stuffed full of something, but when I looked down, my stomach was still flat.

Immediately afterwards, my body began to swell, and my limbs felt like they were filled with lead, making me unable to exert any strength.

It's especially uncomfortable.

"It hurts so much... What's wrong with me..." Tomie clutched her stomach, looking constipated.

"I told you to only eat one, but you insisted on eating so many." Shin Heng Yuan shrugged.

"Then, what do we do now?" Tomie asked, her face filled with despair.

"There's no other way, just tough it out. One divine berry can provide enough nutrition for a whole day. You're eating so many at once, it's just nutritional excess," Xin Hengyuan said with a wicked grin.

"ah!!!"

Tomie let out a desperate scream.

This is true despair.

In D&D terms, she was exhausted from swallowing too many divine berries at once.

The most significant effect of this negative status is that all attribute checks are disadvantaged, movement speed is halved, and attack and saving throws are disadvantaged... At the highest level, it can even kill the character.

However, Tomie only ate more Divine Berries, not to the point of dying directly. Her current state of exhaustion is at most level one or two.

However, this was of no consequence to Shin Hengyuan. He had not intended for Tomie to fight; he simply wanted her to act as a human shield in crucial moments.

Even if other Tomie are created, we can just use a magic pet contract to create another one, and who knows, we might even be able to create a Tomie army.

Hmm, thinking about it now is actually a little scary.

"Let's go, hurry back, and finish this quickly!" Xin Hengyuan strode ahead.

Tomie clutched her still-swollen stomach, dragging her legs which felt like lead, her eyes filled with utter despair.

I'll never eat random things again, even if you kill me!

Qingyue covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"You ugly monster, if you laugh again I'll fight you!"

"Just laugh, just laugh, hahahahaha!"

"Ugh! Xinhengyuan, you need to do something about her!"

……

In the end, the three of them got into the car.

The temple isn't far from Tokyo, but it's still a bit of a drive to the outskirts.

With his hand on the steering wheel, Xin Hengyuan stepped on the gas, and the brand-new white sedan steadily drove toward the ancient temple.

This car was purchased using the bank card that Fu Jiang had previously submitted; it was a cash purchase and was available immediately.

As for his driver's license, Xin Hengyuan had one in his previous life. Although he hasn't had time to take the test in this life, it's not a big deal for him.

Of the people sitting in the car, apart from himself, the other two wouldn't die even if there was a collision.

If something really happens, he'll probably be the first one on the bus to need emergency medical attention.

After a while.

"Is it...not there yet?" Tomie asked, clutching her stomach. All she wanted to do now was to finish off the man quickly so she could go home and lie down.

Tomie couldn't understand why she had to take her along when she clearly had little combat power and was of little use.

I'm bound by a contract; there's no way I can escape!

Xinhengyuan: No, you are very useful.

"Speed ​​limit, it's almost here."

Xinhengyuan pointed expressionlessly to the speed limit sign on the side of the road.

Actually, it was his first time driving a right-hand drive car in Japan, and Shin Hengyuan was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he drove rather slowly. But he certainly couldn't say that out loud, otherwise he would lose the dignity of the head of the family.

"Yuan-kun, have some water."

Qingyue, who was in the back seat, handed over a bottle of mineral water with the cap already unscrewed.

"Oh, thank you." Shin Heng Yuan took a sip.

Seeing this scene, and remembering the kiss from before, Tomie smiled again and licked her lips.

Hmph, ugly woman!

No matter how much you try to win me over, Shin Heng Yuan's first kiss is mine!

I'm number one!
