Seeing this, Tsuchimikado Fuyu briefly explained the situation of Yoto-hime to everyone. After listening, the girls, including Kingyo-hime, took the initiative to communicate with Yoto-hime and help her change her personality.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu had no objection to this. They were quite lively, so it was perfect for them to comfort Yoto-hime. Of course, Tsuchimikado Fuyu would also find opportunities to chat with Yoto-hime.

As for the others, Karasu Tengu was bragging to everyone about how he defeated Yamata no Orochi back then.

No one believed him, but seeing how enthusiastically he was talking, no one stopped him.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu thought to himself, "Another one courting death. I really want to see how Karasu Tengu will react when Orochi is summoned."

Well, the reason I say "again" is because there's also the Goldfish Princess. Once the Lord of Arakawa is summoned and she claims to be the master of Arakawa, she'll definitely get her comeuppance.

Of course, this is also why Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know that after he transmigrated, Kingyo-hime became an SP shikigami. At that time, Kingyo-hime was indeed the master of Arakawa. Although Kingyo-hime would rather not be the master herself, she just wanted the master of Arakawa to live.

As for Inugami, he gets along well with everyone.

However, during the conversation, everyone initially thought that Inugami, who said "lifelong protection," was a tough guy.

But who knew that this guy was actually a little puppy? He looks silly and cute when chatting. Should we say that his true form is indeed a Shiba Inu?

While everyone was chatting, Tsuchimikado Fuyu bought a bunch of material packs at the general store and awakened all four of his shikigami.

Next, all that's left is to redeem the points. Currently, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has seven two-star N-level white cards, ten two-star R-level white cards, eight two-star SSR-level white cards, and one two-star SSR-level white card.

After thinking for a while, Tsuchimikado Fuyu realized that only the R-rank white cards could upgrade a shikigami to four stars, but the current points were not enough to upgrade a shikigami to six stars.

Therefore, Tsuchimikado prioritized rarity and maximized profits.

That means I exchanged both two two-star SSR white cards and then upgraded Kaguya to three stars.

Next, I used all the two-star SR white cards to upgrade Kingyo-hime, Shuweng, Yi, and Momo-yo to three stars. Now, among the SR shikigami, only Jumpy Brother and Inugami haven't been upgraded to three stars.

With 9300 points remaining, Tsuchimikado Winter exchanged for nine two-star R-rank white cards. He didn't touch the remaining 300 points, intending to save them for the next event.

After all, 300 points only get you three two-star N-rank white cards. N-rank shikigami aren't used in battle, so there's no need to upgrade them. Therefore, Tsuchimikado Fuyu is leaving it alone for now.

Then came the Tengu, and the Yamausagi, all three-star cards, which cost four two-star white cards.

With fifteen two-star white cards remaining, Tsuchimikado Fuyu kept six, then turned nine two-star white cards into three three-star white cards, and finally used these three three-star white cards to upgrade Nine-Tailed Fox to four stars.

The points redemption process was now complete. However, just as Tsuchimikado Fuyu was about to turn off his phone, another notification popped up in the game, catching his attention.

Chapter 408 The Money-Grabbing General Store

"Achievement completed: Twenty Shikigami."

Reward: Grocery store upgraded.

Just as Tsuchimikado Fuyu had predicted, he triggered the achievement reward again when he had his twentieth shikigami.

However, this time the reward is a bit different from the past. In the past, the reward for the number of shikigami was just the expansion of the courtyard, but this time it is the upgrade of the general store, while the courtyard is not expanded.

No, it's not accurate to say that the courtyard didn't expand, because later Tsuchimikado Fuyu discovered that there were five more torii gates on the mountain road, each bearing the image of a newly appeared shikigami.

However, this change did not increase the size of the courtyard, so it is far from the previous courtyard with its mountain paths and bamboo forests.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't dwell on it much. Instead, he went to the general store with great interest, wanting to see what good things the store had this time.

The last time the general store opened, you could buy awakening materials, allowing Tsuchimikado Fuyu to awaken all of his shikigami immediately. Although it cost a lot of money, it saved a lot of summoning charms, greatly increasing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's chances of drawing new shikigami.

Now that the general store has been upgraded, it definitely won't just sell awakening materials anymore; there's a high chance it will release new items.

If only I could buy some mysterious talismans.

With a sigh, Tsuchimikado Fuyu walked into the general store.

Unfortunately, contrary to what Tsuchimikado Tou had expected, the general store did not sell the mysterious talismans, not even broken ones.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu felt a little disappointed, but he became happy again when he saw the new items.

However, when he saw the price of the new items, Tsuchimikado Fuyu had mixed feelings.

At this moment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's mood was like a weather forecast: from light rain to sunshine, then from sunshine to cloudy, and finally... vanished without a trace, everything gone with the wind.

Okay, after saying all that, it basically boils down to accepting your fate.

Looking at the descriptions of the new items in the general store, Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed helplessly. These things are good, but I can't afford them!

The General Store has been upgraded and updated: the ability to purchase two-star white cards has been added, allowing you to buy various two-star white cards in the General Store.

Two-star N-level white card: 10,000 yen.

Two-star R-level white card: 100,000 yen. (Limit of five cards per day)

Two-star SR-level white card: One million yen. (Maximum five randomly generated cards per week)

Two-star SSR-level white card: 10 million yen. (Maximum one card refreshed randomly each week.)

Yes, you read that right. A two-star SSR-level white card costs a whopping 10 million yen, which is over 600,000 RMB. What game charges that much for in-game purchases? This is outrageous!

Especially since a two-star white card is practically useless, and to upgrade to three stars, you need at least two white cards, which means it costs over a million RMB... This is robbing people like this!

Leaving aside SSR white cards, just considering Tsuchimikado Fuyu, it would cost 35.9 million yen to upgrade an R card to six stars.

Although it seems much cheaper than SSR cards, it's still compared to SSR cards. Getting a six-star shikigami costs more than two million RMB, and this thing is also limited in purchase!

Crazy!

Although this amount of money is not even enough for Tsuchimikado Fuyu's first month's royalties, this is not how you spend money. Do you still need to eat?

Moreover, if it were before Tsuchimikado Fuyu wrote it, relying solely on Xiaoyi's usual practice of swindling money from rich players, it would be impossible to raise enough money to upgrade to six stars.

Despite his complaints, the general store didn't force him to buy anything. If he didn't have the money, he could just not buy it for now. Anyway, he would earn the money once Kobayashi and the others agreed to develop the game.

Actually, if he really wanted to upgrade a shikigami to six stars, Tsuchimikado Fuyu could afford to upgrade one of his shikigami to six stars. He just needed to wait until the editorial department transferred last month's payment tomorrow, and then Tsuchimikado Fuyu would have enough money to buy a two-star R-rank white card.

However, this money cannot be used recklessly; at least last month's royalties plus this month's royalties cannot be used carelessly.

After all, he had already decided to give Kobayashi and the others 100 million yen to develop a game. Now everything was ready, and all that was left was for Kobayashi and the others to agree. Therefore, he absolutely could not waste the royalties from these two months.

As for the claim that they have to wait another month for next month's payment, there's no rush. Developing games isn't something that can be done immediately just because you have money; it takes time. The first payment alone is enough for them to develop several low-cost games.

"Looks like I need to urge Tohru again and get her to persuade my cousin sooner," Tsuchimikado Fuyu muttered.

Of course, although I can't use this money recklessly, I buy both types of cards every day to stock up because R cards are limited in purchase and SR cards are randomly refreshed.

Anyway, I'll only spend a maximum of 8.5 million a week. It's a bit much, but I can use Xiaoyi's savings to support me for the first two or three weeks. Once the royalties arrive next month, there won't be any problems.

Yes, we really need to work hard to make Battle Through the Heavens monthly, after all, we need to make money!

Afterwards, Tsuchimikado Fuyu also told everyone about this, and all the shikigami expressed that they would work hard with Koi to earn more money to supplement their family income.

……

early morning.

Before the alarm clock even went off, Tsuchimikado Fuyu had already gotten up early.

"Good morning, Xiaoyi-nee." Tsuchimikado Fuyu, still half asleep, walked out of her room in her pajamas and saw Xiaoyi carrying a bowl to the living room. She greeted her.

"Xiaodong's up? I was just about to go and wake you up," Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"If I'm late for the fan meeting, Editor Machida will kill me," Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"Have you all decided who to bring to the meet-and-greet today? I heard that the Three-Tailed Fox almost got into a fight with the Goldfish Princess over this spot."

When Tsuchimikado Tou recalled how everyone had been making a ruckus when they discussed this matter a few nights ago, he couldn't help but laugh. "It's decided. I'll have Shuweng accompany me."

"I thought you would bring Goldfish Princess, you always spoil her the most."

"Have I ever spoiled her?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked doubtfully. He clearly doted on Kusa the most! How could it be Goldfish Princess?

"...How could there not be? You're favoring the Goldfish Princess, even making the Snow Woman jealous." At this moment, the three-tailed fox walked out of the courtyard and lay on Tsuchimikado Fuyuki's body.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu felt two large, soft objects behind her, and her heart skipped a beat. She suppressed her joy and said, "Mitsuboh-nee, I've been treating everyone the same, okay? And aren't you afraid Yuki-onna will be angry if you talk like that?"

"Hmph, why would I be afraid of a snow woman? Absolutely not..."

"What did you say?" At that moment, the two suddenly felt a chill beside them and heard the Snow Woman's cold voice coming from their side.

"No, it's nothing. I was just saying we're really good friends, so you definitely won't be angry about this kind of joke, right?" the three-tailed fox quickly said sheepishly.

Chapter 409 Aragaki Sagiri

After washing up, he put on the prepared suit, and then Xiaoyi, like a virtuous wife, helped him tie his tie and took out a watch for him to wear.

"Sister Xiaoyi, we don't need the watch, do we?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Xiaoyi helplessly.

“I read online that successful men habitually wear a watch that matches their status. Although I don’t know what kind of watch you should wear, Mr. Ota gave me this watch after hearing about it, so I think it’s appropriate,” Xiaoyi said.

"Mr. Ota?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The one who got tricked into building roads by Kikuri? The one with the super luxurious garden with the earthbound spirit?"

"Yeah, I don't think it's right to say it like that, but it really is him," Xiaoyi said, covering her mouth and chuckling.

“When I went to see Kikuri the day before yesterday, I happened to run into him visiting the shrine. We chatted for a while and then the topic came up. The next day, he gave me this watch and said I would definitely like it.”

"Hmm, it does look quite nice." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the watch. It was indeed a very exquisite watch, but to say that he would definitely like it... well, in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's opinion, it was just so-so.

After all, in his previous life, he couldn't afford to play with such things and couldn't tell whether a watch was good or bad; he could only say that it looked pleasing to the eye.

Just as Tsuchimikado Fuyu finished eating and was about to leave, he received a call from Machida Wanko, "Tenyu-sensei, I'm downstairs at your place, are you ready?"

"Machida-san, why did you come in person today? Couldn't I have just gone by myself?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked in confusion, as she hadn't mentioned coming to pick him up before!

"This was a last-minute decision, just to avoid you being too punctual, teacher," Machida Wanko said, emphasizing the word "punctual."

"Being on time is good, you weren't late." Tsuchimikado Fuyu naturally knew what Machida Wanko meant. It was just that she arrived right on time last time, why was she being so wary of her this time?

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu is also planning to arrive right on time this time.

Of course, although Tsuchimikado Tou really wanted to arrive right on time, since they were already downstairs, he naturally wouldn't keep them waiting. Tsuchimikado Tou quickly put on his leather shoes and called out to the girls in their little clothes, "I'm going out."

Then he said to Machida Wanko, "Ms. Machida, I'll be right down. Please wait a moment."

When they arrived downstairs, a black sedan was parked on the side of the road. Machida Wanko, dressed in a black suit, stood next to the car with a wireless earpiece in her ear, saying something.

She glanced at her watch every now and then, as if checking the time.

"Good morning, Ms. Machida. You look very stylish today," Tsuchimikado Fuyu greeted her.

"I never expected our Tianyu teacher to say such sweet nothings to girls," Machida Wanzi joked.

"Why are we leaving so early today? Even if we arrive early, we still have more than an hour to go," Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, ignoring Machida Wanko's words.

“Although the official entry time is nine o’clock, you and Professor Eromanga need to rehearse for an hour beforehand to familiarize yourselves with the process,” Machida Wanko sighed. “Didn’t I tell you about this?”

"It seemed too troublesome... so I forgot," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said apologetically.

Machida Wanko looked like she knew it. Although this was written in the notes she had given to Tsuchimikado Fuyu, she thought that Tsuchimikado Fuyu might not read it carefully, so she had even called him to remind him.
