I have an unlimited number of shikigami

Price: 100 points

[After purchase, it will automatically become the current shikigami's favorite food, and will increase experience points by 1% after consumption.]

Buy one.

You have 400 points left.

After confirming the only option, Yuki-onna, on the consumption interface, Fujiwara Izaya found a milky-white popsicle in his palm.

Upon seeing the round, long popsicle, the Snow Woman felt something etched into her body awaken—an instinctive reaction left behind after her master had fed her dozens of times.

She grabbed Fujiwara Izaya's collar with both hands, leaned closer, and slightly opened her mouth: "Ah~"

Inside her glistening, soft lips, neat, white teeth peeked out. Her soft, pink tongue looked delicate and tender; I wondered if it felt as cold to the touch as her skin.

Fujiwara Rin didn't know either.

All he knew was that the breath the Snow Woman exhaled was similar to the cold air blowing from an air conditioner vent.

This has its advantages; at the very least, it saves on air conditioning costs in the summer…

Imagining the snow woman blowing at him all night, Fujiwara Izaya couldn't help but laugh.

Having nothing in her mouth for a long time, the Snow Woman frowned, then brought her face closer, nose to nose, and exclaimed, "Ah~"

The tip of her nose was also icy cold.

"Here you go, here you go."

Fujiwara Izaya took the popsicle and affectionately stuffed it into her soft little lips.

"Hmm~"

The snow woman sucked on her popsicle, her cheeks puffing out beautifully.

The visuals are beautiful.

Fujiwara Izaya, however, had no other thoughts in his mind.

After all... the Snow Woman is still just a baby!

While she was licking her popsicle, Fujiwara Izaya switched the system back to the panel and opened the Yuki-onna's information interface.

Name: Yukihime

[Not yet awakened]

[Bond Level: 20%]

[Level: Lowest (99%)]

[Attack: E]

[Defense: E+]

Speed: E

[Support: E++]

[Active Skill: Ice Arrow (LV1)]

[Passive Talent: None]

Ice Arrow is a single-target basic attack with attack power equal to the user's base attack power, without any additional bonuses. However, when facing opponents of the same level, it has a 10% chance to inflict a stun or freeze debuff.

For every level higher the opponent is, the chance of triggering a negative status effect is halved.

Correspondingly, the chance of triggering a negative status effect increases by half for each lower level the opponent is in.

The popsicle was quickly licked clean, and the Snow Woman blinked her big eyes, looking at Fujiwara Izaya with a slightly pleading expression: "Ah~"

Feeding complete

[Yuki-onna EXP +1%]

[The Snow Woman's current experience points are full]

[Snow Lady (lower position)→Snow Lady (middle position)]

As the system notification popped up, the Snow Woman's information panel also underwent a series of changes.

Name: Yukihime

[Not yet awakened]

[Bond Level: 20%]

[Grade: Median (0%)]

[Attack: E+]

[Defense: D]

Speed: E+

[Support: D+]

[Active Skills: Ice Arrow (LV2), Blizzard Cage (LV1)]

[Talent Skill: None]

It's not just a simple attribute boost, it also adds a new skill!

This is very important!

Besides base attack power, the strength of a monster's skills is the most crucial factor in determining its power.

Take Fujiwara Izaya himself as an example.

Although he didn't learn any offensive techniques, he was born with two talents.

Inherited from his father, the "Protection of the Mountain God" greatly increases his defense and grants him the ability to communicate with all living beings; inherited from his mother, the "Child of the Wind" greatly increases his speed and allows him to manipulate air currents.

With these two skills, Fujiwara Izaya's current attack power is only at the level of a low-level demon general, but even a demon king cannot kill him.

Yuki-onna's base attack power is relatively low, but her basic attack skills have the effects of stun and bind. At level one, the chance is 10%, at level two it becomes 20%, and at the final Venerable level, the chance of stun or bind against opponents of the same level is 60%, which is truly abnormal.

In any case, Fujiwara Rin was unwilling to fight against such an opponent.

Imagine if someone just raises their hand and uses a basic attack, there's a 50% chance they'll freeze you. What's the point of fighting then? You might as well surrender and accept the loss.

Clicking on the skill description, Fujiwara Izaya began to examine the Yuki-onna's second skill.

[Blizzard Cage: Summons a wide-range blizzard to attack all enemies, with a 50% chance to freeze enemies that are bound or under the effect of being restrained.]

It's another support skill.

The first skill applies a negative status effect to a single target, while the second applies a freezing effect to a group of targets already afflicted with negative status effects. Considering the combination of these two skills, Yuki Onna is undoubtedly a top-tier crowd control shikigami.

If... you draw a shikigami that can freeze or bind a group of enemies, and then draw a shikigami that can attack multiple groups of enemies... then if all three are deployed in succession, wouldn't you be able to wipe out an entire division of the opponent in one move?

If we add a healer who boosts attack power...

Fujiwara Izaya's emotions were churning.

In a mere second, he imagined countless possible combinations of shikigami.

Having been burned by gacha games before, how to build a team is an instinct ingrained in their DNA.

Perhaps in another ten years or so, Fujiwara Izaya will command a fearsome army of shikigami, leaving nothing but desolation and rivers of blood in their wake...

Cough!

Calm down, calm down!

From joy to indifference, Fujiwara Izaya's inner childish chuunibyou gradually disappeared.

From wanting to be the king of the world when I first transmigrated, to now just wanting to make some money to repair the shrine and then become a lazy god in Takamagahara, I feel like I'm a bit ashamed of my predecessors who transmigrated. But it's okay, the happiness of transmigrators is just that simple and unpretentious, right?

"Ah~"

The snow woman grabbed his collar and moved her mouth closer.

The cool breath from her pink lips brushed against his face, and Fujiwara Izaya instantly felt refreshed. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Yukihime is wonderful. We don't need to buy an air conditioner in the summer, and we can save on the electricity bill for the refrigerator..."

Uh-huh.

Although the mid-level Yuki-onna is a bit trash and can't be of much help at the moment, Fujiwara Izaya firmly believes that sooner or later he will feed her into the most powerful demon lord and then let her make ice cream every day.

Eating the snow woman's ice cream while teasing her until she's shy and melts into water right in front of you—it sounds so romantic!

Seeing her master's blissful expression as he immersed himself in his fantasy, the Snow Woman tugged at his collar unhappily, "Ah~"

Fujiwara Izaya had no choice but to open the system shop again.

One Hundred Foods to Please Your Shikigami (Mid-Tier)

Price: 200 points

With the remaining 400 points, Fujiwara Izaya bought two more.

The snow woman ate with great relish, her mouth full of thick cream.

After finishing her meal, she looked at Fujiwara Izaya with a pleading expression, as if to say, "You haven't fed me yet."

"Uh, that's all..."

Fujiwara Izaya scratched his cheek awkwardly.

The Snow Woman frowned slightly.

She, who was slowly beginning to understand things, no longer fussed about wanting popsicles. Instead, she gazed at Fujiwara Izaya with her sad blue eyes, her expression fragile and tender.

Such a heartbreaking look...

Fujiwara Izaya felt a sudden pang of guilt, like an old father who couldn't afford to buy enough food for his daughter.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to earn enough points to support you..." He gently stroked the snow woman's cold, silver hair, comforting her, "From now on, Daddy... no, Master. Master will definitely earn enough points to ensure you're never hungry again! I'll also make money to renovate the entire shrine so you can have a big house to live in."

The snow woman gradually relaxed her brows.

Even though she couldn't understand what Fujiwara Rin was saying, she still tilted her head and rubbed her nose against his.
