"Alright, you're in charge of the finances now, and it's been a while since we've had a banquet. Go ahead and have one if you want, but it can't just be three people; make sure there are enough people."
"How about we call Komachi over?" Wu Feng immediately said.
Yoki paused for a moment, a smirk playing on his lips, and teased...
"So that's why you suddenly brought up the banquet. Besides the food, did you want to see Komachi?"
Youki was also very surprised by the relationship between Wu Feng and Xiao Machi. It was precisely because of their relationship that Youki entrusted the task of lending money to Wu Feng.
A hundred years ago, after Wu Feng joined Hakugyokurou, Komachi's laziness became incredibly frequent. She would come to Hakugyokurou every three to five months, and everyone in Hakugyokurou knew who she was going to see. Each time she would stay for about a day, and with her ability to control the distance, her round trip was quite fast. However, Shiki Eiki eventually discovered this and personally "talked" to Komachi for a whole day.
Komachi's behavior was finally somewhat curbed after being "talked to," but she still couldn't change her lazy habit, which became only once every few years at Hakugyokurou.
However, the number of undead has surged in the last ten years or so, and Shiki has issued a strict order prohibiting Komachi from sneaking out during this period. Wu Feng hasn't seen Komachi for twelve years.
"It's been a while since I've seen Komachi, so I thought I'd give him a surprise." Over the past century, Wu Feng had developed an inexplicable feeling for Komachi. Was it admiration? A confidante? Even he himself wasn't sure what he felt for Komachi.
"Sister Yaoji, do you think it will be dangerous for me to go to the Underworld?" Wu Feng asked on the way back to Baiyulou.
"As long as you don't encounter top-tier Yin Spirits, and you don't recklessly engage them in close combat, the danger isn't significant."
orz Melee combat is always a weakness, Wu Feng just squatted in the corner and started drawing circles.
Over the past century, he has made rapid progress in learning the manipulation of the power of death from Yuyuko, and has mastered the basic and five-spell skills to the level of three-spell skills.
The [Reverse Screen], [Heart Slash], and [Crescent Moon Slash] used with Konpaku Youki before were all basic skills. The [Yomi Flat Path] to be used later is a single-spell skill. Of course, the effect will definitely be different for different people. Even if Yuyuko uses a basic skill, its power will not be weaker than Wu Feng's five-spell skill.
Wu Feng had also considered learning some close-combat skills. After all, 80% of Yuyuko's skills were ranged attacks, suitable for mid-to-long-range combat, while the rest were close-range burst attacks, which were not easy to hit. Once she got close, it was difficult to get rid of her. Therefore, he consulted Youki about some close-combat methods.
According to Yoji's words...
"An iron pestle can be ground into a needle, but a wooden stick can only be ground into powder. Ranged mage is a very promising profession... but forget about melee combat."
Youki finds Wu Feng's melee talent almost unbearable to look at. He spent a year learning a basic skill and still couldn't master it. He might as well just practice dodging. Dodging combined with close-range burst skills is a viable strategy.
After hearing what Youki said, Wu Feng had no choice but to give up the idea of close combat. In the past hundred years, Wu Feng's evasion had improved considerably, even if he was close to Youki, he could still dodge for a period of time without being defeated.
Planning a trip to the River Sanzu soon?
"Okay, I'll prepare and go in a couple of days."
"Oh, by the way, remember to borrow some money when you come back. Because of your and Yuyuko-sama's recent increased appetite, our expenses have gone into deficit again in the past few years, and even more than before."
"..." (The male protagonist is about to regain his memories, activate his cheat system, and encounter his first transmigrator~~)
Chapter Eleven: The Infernal Serpent
In the realm of spirits, Wu Feng stood at the entrance with a nostalgic expression. He hadn't expected to return here again after only two chapters, cough cough, a hundred years, and to receive the same welcome.
At the entrance to the Netherworld, nearly a thousand Netherworld Demons wandered aimlessly, moving about unconsciously. The creatures that had once terrified him now seemed insignificant. Wu Feng understood Xiao Machi's disdain. These Netherworld Demons, which had no energy whatsoever, posed no threat whatsoever. Even if they stood still, it would take a million of them to kill him.
With a casual gesture, Wu Feng conjured up a dozen purple orbs of death energy in mid-air. The next moment, the purple orbs flew one after another in a straight line towards the group of Netherworld Demons.
Each explosion of the purple orbs devoured a dozen or so nearby Netherworld Demons. A single strike wiped out one-tenth of the Netherworld Demons, clearing a path through the dense crowd. The Netherworld Demons, who knew nothing of fear, panicked at the start of the purple orbs' explosions. Their antagonistic instincts drove them to flee quickly. Within minutes, the area was once again empty and desolate.
Wu Feng chuckled lightly. To him, who possessed the power of death, low-level Yin spirits posed no threat whatsoever. He strolled into the Yin spirit realm.
After Wu Feng left, Youji returned to Youyuko's side.
Lady Yuyuko
"Yaoji, has Youfeng already gone to the Underworld?"
"Yes"
"Oh dear, it seems like it will be a long time before I can come back this time." Yuyuko walked to the window, her face hidden by a folding fan, and looked in the direction of the Soul Realm.
"Why would Lady Yuyuko have such a view?" A bad feeling rose in Youki's heart.
"Because yesterday I discovered a peculiar energy enveloping a weak being that descended upon the Netherworld. Despite its low strength, it caused chaos in the Netherworld, likely plunging many high-level Netherworld demons into the confusion."
"...Then why didn't Lady Yuyuko warn Yuuka?"
"The Netherworld is so big, it's not that easy to run into someone there. Besides, the life form inside is very weak, so Yuu-fu won't be in any trouble," Yuu-fu-ko said seriously, clearly just to give a perfunctory answer. Her eyes, which kept darting to both sides, proved that she was hiding something.
Considering Yuyuko's personality and her actions over the past two days, Youki's face instantly darkened. Given Yuyuko's naive nature, it was absolutely impossible for her to plot against anyone; only one possibility remained: she had forgotten about this matter!
However, this also proves another thing: although there was an anomaly in the realm of spirits, it was not a major problem, otherwise they wouldn't have forgotten about it.
Even so, Lady Yuyuko should still be punished, Youki thought.
Ignoring Yuyuko, who was lost in thought by the window, Youki turned and walked towards the exit, saying something casually before he went out.
"Youfeng suggested having a banquet earlier."
"A banquet!" Yuyuko's eyes instantly lit up with longing as she looked pitifully at Youmu.
"I agree. The start time will be the time when Youfeng returns. Also, Lady Youyuko, due to financial issues, the food allowance will be halved until Youfeng returns with the borrowed money."
The next moment, Yuyuko's mournful cries echoed throughout the entire Hakugyokurou.
"Waaaaah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're bullying me!"
The shape of the Yin Soul Realm is approximately 8. Travel between Hell and the Underworld usually involves passing through the intersection. If Wu Feng hadn't chosen the intersection when he passed through here a hundred years ago, he wouldn't have been able to reach Baiyulou in a single day.
Because of the short distance, it's rare to encounter high-level Yin Spirits, making it a very safe route. The last time I encountered the Netherworld Spider, it was already considered a low-probability event.
However, Wu Feng is Wu Feng after all. He was chosen from among countless billions of people in countless planes to be the guardian of the world. His luck is beyond that of ordinary people.
They had only gone halfway when they bumped into a Netherworld Spider, a Netherworld Spider that had just eaten its fill of Yin energy.
The Netherworld Spider's specialty is its regenerative ability, especially when Yin energy is abundant. Its recovery speed can be described as instantaneous. At higher levels, it can basically ignore the restraint of death power. It's not impossible for Wu Feng to kill it, but he will suffer some injuries, and his death power will probably be completely depleted, making it a losing proposition.
Just as he was about to dodge, an even more unbelievable situation occurred.
The Netherworld Spider seemed determined not to let go of its meal. Its hundred legs, as sharp as iron rods, swung in unison, causing the ground to crack and kick up clouds of dust.
Before the Netherworld Spiders arrived, the earth suddenly shook, and huge cracks appeared one after another. Dense Yin energy burst forth, raising the concentration of Yin energy in the entire world by a whole level. The affected area was nearly a hundred miles wide, and Wu Feng had no choice but to float in the air to avoid those cracks.
Wu Feng was deeply shaken. There were only two possibilities that could cause such a dramatic change in the world: either a rare natural phenomenon or the appearance of the most powerful demon in the Yin Soul Realm. Most demons in the Yin Soul Realm were much weaker than those in the outside world, but the most powerful demons were absolutely no weaker than any demons in the outside world. Even hundreds of high-level Netherworld Spiders would not be a match for the most powerful Yin Soul Demons.
Wu Feng could barely kill the Netherworld Spider, but whether the top-tier Yin Soul Demon could escape was another question. Wu Feng could only hope that this was a natural occurrence.
Hope and reality often go against expectations. Wu Feng was immediately proven wrong as soon as he finished thinking about it. A huge mouth appeared from below where the Netherworld Spider was located, swallowing up the land within hundreds of meters, along with the Netherworld Spider itself.
Wu Feng's expression also turned serious instantly. Looking at the Yin Soul Demon that was gradually revealing its full form, he knew its name by heart.
Countless cracks on the ground and the source of gushing Yin energy appeared before Wu Feng.
The enormous snake's body, with only the part above ground visible, was hundreds of meters long. Its entire body was covered with yellowish-brown scales, each one as large as a person. Within countless cracks in the ground, the same snake body kept rising and falling. Its golden snake eyes, like those of an emperor, scanned the surrounding situation and finally fixed their gaze on Wu Feng.
Undoubtedly a top-tier Yin Spirit Demon, the Hellfire Serpent
"I actually encountered it, what luck!" Wu Feng lamented. This was beyond luck. There were only two top-level Yin Soul Demons in the entire Yin Soul Realm. Unlike other Yin Soul Demons that only had instincts, these top-level demons possessed a certain level of intelligence, although not very high. There was one in the north and one in the south, and they did not invade or interfere with each other.
As the king of the North, the Infernal Serpent shouldn't leave its territory easily. This place is already very close to the southern territory, so there's no way it could appear here.
Before Wu Feng could think further, the Hellfire Serpent had already moved. The earth trembled once again, and behind Wu Feng, a crack a hundred meters long and tens of meters thick appeared, from which endless Yin energy burst forth.
A sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed him. With the Hellfire Serpent in front of him and an endless sense of danger behind him, Wu Feng made a decision in an instant. He filled his body with the power of death and flew north at top speed.
As soon as Wu Feng started moving, a huge shadow descended from the sky behind him. The black shadow carried boundless power, as if the air itself had been torn apart, before crashing to the ground.
Endless dust billowed up, and a hundred-meter-long crack appeared where Wu Feng had just been standing. The enormous black shadow also revealed itself; it was a snake's tail, over a hundred meters long. In just a moment, it appeared from behind Wu Feng and struck down. If Wu Feng hadn't dodged in time, he would probably be nothing but a lump of minced meat by now.
Having witnessed the power of the Hellfire Serpent firsthand, Wu Feng dared not linger and flew north without looking back.
The Infernal Serpent, with its mindless, chaotic eyes, glanced north before wriggling away again, burrowing into the ground and heading south, leaving behind a trail of cracks. (Next chapter: Another transmigrator appears, and the cheat system is officially activated~~ Please click, favorite, and recommend~~~)
Chapter Twelve: Saying One Thing but Doing Another?
Even after discovering that the Infernal Serpent was not chasing him, Wu Feng dared not linger. Purple death power spread throughout his body as he flew at top speed, appearing like a purple meteor streaking across the sky, enveloped in a faint purple glow.
After flying for a hundred miles to confirm that the Infernal Serpent was not following, they slowed down slightly and stopped once it was safe.
As the strongest Yin spirit demon in the north, the Purgatory Demon Serpent has the most terrifying body in the Yin spirit realm. Normally, most of its body is buried underground, and only a small part is exposed when it is hunting. According to Yao Ji, if the Purgatory Demon Serpent were to climb all the way to the surface, its length could reach several thousand meters or more, and it would not take long to cover a hundred miles.
"Sigh, what happened up north?" Wu Feng sighed softly, looking ahead with doubt and confusion in his eyes.
Before, when danger approached, there was no time to think it through. Now that I think about it, it's too abnormal. The chance of encountering the Netherworld Spider on that path was already very low, and the chance of encountering the Purgatory Serpent was almost zero. The chance of encountering them consecutively was even lower and harder to calculate. It could only be caused by human intervention.
The Hellfire Serpent is virtually invincible in the realm of spirits. Although its intelligence is only at the level of a wild beast, it does not affect its combat power. What could possibly drive it to leave its territory and enter the southern region?
After thinking for a moment, Wu Feng realized he still couldn't figure out what had happened in the north, so he simply turned around and headed west. Anyway, the Yin Soul Realm was an 8-shape, so he could get out no matter which way he went; the only difference was how long it would take.
The sky in the Underworld is always gloomy. After walking for several hours, Wu Feng noticed a slight abnormality in the air. The Underworld is the border between Hell and the Netherworld, and the Yin energy is turbid. However, Wu Feng felt that the strange energy in the air in the direction he was moving forward was gradually increasing.
A faint flame energy, carrying a peculiar scent, wafted over, and a familiar feeling gradually imprinted itself in Wu Feng's mind, but he couldn't quite place what it was.
Wu Feng paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then floated into the sky, concealing his energy. He knew he couldn't go to the dangerous north, and the two lords in the south would probably be fighting soon. Since he couldn't go back, his only option was to continue forward. At least being high up would reduce the chances of being discovered.
The further west they flew, the stronger the energy and peculiar smell of the flames became, and the sounds of battle could be faintly heard, though the sounds seemed a bit strange.
After flying for a while longer, when Wu Feng saw the two sides fighting, countless fragments flooded his mind instantly, and the sudden pain almost made Wu Feng lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Familiar yet unfamiliar scenes flashed by one after another: a baby born from the mother's womb, gradually growing into an adult, living an ordinary life, studying, taking exams, studying again, taking exams again, and advancing to higher education, repeating endlessly until encountering anime in high school, from which point there was no stopping, until the appearance of Sa and Gaia, until the scene of being eaten to death in Gensokyo, finally returned to normal.
Wu Feng's eyes gradually calmed down from their confusion, and hidden within that calm was immense fervor.
"I never expected to be reborn in this form, and I actually entered Hakugyokuro." Wu Feng's expression was a mixture of confusion and excitement. His memories as an otaku had been completely awakened. Among the various forces in Touhou Gensokyo, Hakugyokuro was one of Wu Feng's favorites.
"Little master, you're finally awake! Sha was so bored!" Not long after Wu Feng regained his memories, a resentful voice appeared in his mind, looping endlessly.
"Huh? Sha, you've been here all this time?" Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise. A hundred years had passed, and Sha was still near him, though he didn't know where she was... or why she was here...
"Isn't that obvious? As the core of the World Achievement System, how could it not be here..."
"Wait, you said you're the original form of that useless world achievement system!!" Wu Feng was furious when he thought of the cheat code Gaia gave him. What cheat code? What function did it not perform? He calmly watched himself being devoured.
“…Oh, right, since I’m awake, I’ll open the message.” After a moment of silence, Sa said calmly. Wu Feng had seen this feeling many times with Youki…every time Yuyuko appeared, a mournful cry would follow…
"Whoa!" The next moment, an endless series of alarm clocks rang in my mind. Having a big alarm clock next to me in the morning doesn't feel right, does it? What would it feel like to throw this alarm clock into my brain and have it ring...?
Finally remembering that he was flying and that there were enemies below, Wu Feng quickly grabbed his mouth to keep from screaming.
[Ding, please check your new message]
[Achieved Bronze Achievement: Are you here to be cute?]
[Note: Died so quickly? Are you sure you weren't just here to be cute?]
[Achieve Qing Tong level achievement, World Achievement System activated]
[Achieved Silver Achievement: You're really just here to be cute!]
