The Great Detective of Gensokyo, but surrounded by Shura Field!

"It seems Miss Wenwen has been under a lot of pressure recently, but I didn't expect she has such a hobby?"

"Hey, Miss Wenwen's socks, hiss, hiss..."

"To be honest, I still prefer refreshing socks..."

"I'm so envious of Miss Wenwen! I also want to savor this delicious delicacy!"

Ji Haitangguo: “???”

No, you guys are really discussing this?

Could it be that all the villagers these days like this?

While Aguo was lying in a mess, Chu Bai continued to exert his strength.

Soon, one unique article after another was written.

[“Open your eyes and be good at discovering the little boys and girls around you!”]

[The body fragrance of girls with different personalities, hiss, hiss, hiss]

[《No matter how hard your mouth is, it will be soft when you kiss it! Check out the ten most comfortable ways to kiss!》]

Life's not going your way? Let's get trendy! A look at the culture of fighting in Gensokyo!

【…】

When these short articles were published, Ji Haitangguo was stunned.

She couldn't help but complain to Chu Bai:

"Did Wenwen really ask you to post these things?"

"I feel like you're almost turning her 'Wenwen News' into 'Wenwen Sex News'!"

Chu Bai laughed and said:

"Even though she doesn't know, she said anything is fine as long as it can attract readers."

"But forget about changing my name. After all, I'm just a temporary worker, and it's not nice to do something like this..."

"Why are you acting so considerate in a place like this?"

But while Aguo was complaining, he seemed to be thinking about something.

If Wenwen's track is exaggerated, then Chu Bai's style is against the sky.

In addition to the regular sections that follow the style of literary journalism, his special sections are filled with all kinds of crazy literature, striving to take abstraction to the extreme.

Almost all readers who buy newspapers read the headlines with sweat in their eyes.

But the number of people buying newspapers remains high.

Seeing all this, Aguo fell into deep thought.

...Have the tastes of the current residents of Gensokyo become so modern?

...It seems that traditional content is indeed not as popular as novel content?

After all, it wasn't an official news organization, so it was bound to have some private opinions and competitive elements mixed in. So Ah Guo really had some epiphany from Chu Bai's approach.

As for Chu Bai, his focus is on sales.

He served as temporary editor-in-chief of Wenwen News for three days and published a total of six issues of the newspaper.

Each issue sold about 100 copies, and at a price of 1200 yen per issue, this was a full 10 million yen in sales. With a 120% commission, Chu Bai could directly pocket million yen.

The income from just three days was almost as much as the total income from the first half of the month. If he continued like this, Chu Bai's current house worth 2000 million yuan would be fully paid for in less than two months.

"Is this the massive industry that controls the lifeline of Gensokyo's economy?"

Chu Bai looked at the calculated numbers in shock.

Now he finally understood why Wenwen looked so rich.

With so many potential readers, even if you only publish ordinary exaggerated news, leaving aside the losses such as printing costs and material costs, the daily income can easily reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Even so, Reimu Maru Bun is not considered a rich man, and Bun Bun News is just one of the companies under the Tengu clan.

It's hard to imagine how much wealth has been accumulated in places like the Scarlet Devil Mansion and Eternal Pavilion. No wonder Remi casually gave them 20 upon their first meeting... For these truly wealthy people, the accumulated wealth must be in the billions...

"Anyway, let's get some more crazy literature and abstract content, and make a killing before this trend passes..."

Chu Bai set a small goal in his mind.

As soon as he took out the pen, a fist suddenly stretched out from behind him.

"You're almost there!"

puff!

Chu Bai was knocked to the ground with one punch, and Yakumo Yukari came out from the gap in a bad mood:

"Even though I told you I won't restrict your economic development, you can't make things so chaotic! Write some decent news for me!"

Chu Bai stumbled to his feet and looked at Yakumo Yukari with empty eyes:

"What's wrong, old woman? Are you too bored to start meddling in the news industry?"

"...Of course I have to intervene. After all, if you continue to bully people, their minds will be completely corrupted."

Yakumo Yukari snorted:

"And did you just say something disrespectful again? Just call me sister, you bastard!"

"Tsk..."

Chu Bai wanted to retort her, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed inappropriate to continue being so abstract.

Ordinary villagers are not like those uncommon-minded beings. If their thoughts are really allowed to become too modern, it does not seem to be a good thing for balance.

And although Reimu Marufumi had offered this to him, and had previously taken secret photos to try to harm him, if he acted too ruthlessly and completely ruined his reputation, the poor Tengu girl might even cry.

Besides, the small goal of three million has been achieved, and there is even two hundred thousand more than the original goal.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai did not respond to Yakumo Yukari after all, but instead followed her advice, which was rare for him:

"Okay, I'll give you a favor this time. From now on, I won't be abstract. Just post in Wenwen's normal style."

"...Huh? You really listened?"

Yakumo Yukari looked at Chu Bai in surprise:

"I thought you were going to refute me again?"

"After all, what you said makes sense."

Chu Bai sighed:

"And if someone hadn't provided the Earth Spirit Hall with three million in funding out of thin air, I wouldn't have resorted to such desperate measures to make money."

"Why did you give Xiaowu so much money for no reason? Do you really dislike me and want her to defeat me?"

Yakumo Yukari shook her head mysteriously:

"I can only say that this is related to a certain part of the Summer Night Festival."

"As for the more specific details, those who understand will understand. Those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them. Even if I tell them, you won't understand either. It's better not to tell them at all..."

Chu Bai decisively raised his middle finger:

"Riddler, get out of Gensokyo!"

……

……

The organizer of the Summer Night Festival has always been Yakumo Yukari.

So after learning that the three million was related to the Summer Night Festival, Chu Bai didn't say anything more.

But just as Yakumo Yukari finished her instructions and was about to tear open the gap to return.

Chu Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Yakumo Yukari suddenly raised her eyebrows and turned slightly sideways:

"Hmm? Why did you suddenly get so into it? Did you realize how attractive I am and want to confess your feelings to me?"

"I'm sorry, you're a good person, but we're not suitable..."

Completely imitating Chu Bai's style, the seventeen-year-old girl also tried to reject other people's refreshing feelings.

But Chu Bai's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone was slightly lowered:

"Yakumo Yukari, are you hurt?"

"……Eh?"

Yakumo Yukari was slightly stunned, but soon revealed a somewhat helpless expression:

"Don't be so jumpy. This is Gensokyo after all, and we occasionally engage in combat sparring with Lan or some friends. In a danmaku battle, getting a few injuries is par for the course, right?"

Chu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Really? But I can't imagine you taking the initiative to spar with others."

"On the contrary, with just a little imagination, I can imagine you hiding behind the screen, peeping into every corner of Gensokyo, drooling and laughing as you satisfy your voyeuristic desire..."

"Fuck you! Just be an editor-in-chief and be honest. I'll give you a beating if you keep talking too much!"

Before she could finish her words, Yakumo Yukari had already taken out her folding fan and hit Chu Bai hard on the head.

Then, like a little girl, she stuck out her tongue at Chu Bai in disdain, then slipped into the gap and left.

As the crack in space slowly closed, Chu Bai slowly stood up, frowning slightly.

...Yakumo Yukari was indeed injured.

There is no doubt about this, because with the improvement of "Dragon God Art", Chu Bai's perception is far beyond before.

It is obvious that Yakumo Yukari is not in full condition, and her blood and demonic power are slightly weak.

But she insisted that nothing happened, and left quickly after being pointed out by Chu Bai.

“…I always feel like there’s something strange going on.”

Chu Bai murmured, looking at the new newspaper that was about to be printed.

The headline of the newspaper clearly read: [Summer Night Festival is about to open].

"And for some reason, I have a feeling this summer night festival won't be peaceful either..."

"Hmm... just in case, let's keep some backup plans in advance..."

Chapter 171: Joining the Guardian of the Festival, the Tranquility Before the Change

Summer Night Festival is an annual celebration in Gensokyo.

It is held on the last weekend of spring, with the aim of better welcoming the arrival of summer through lively celebrations.

This year's Summer Night Festival is roughly divided into three parts according to Reimu's spoilers.

The event opens with a "Fireworks Festival", the main contents are the all-night "lively stalls" and the banquet for the strong, and the "late night mystery project" hosted by Yakumo Yukari is the closing part.

By the way, Chu Bai originally planned to set up a stall under the name of Detective Yorozuya.

But he also had his job as temporary editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and on second thought, it seemed like he didn't have enough time to arrange all this.

So in the end he gave up his job and decided to attend the celebration as an ordinary guest.

As for setting up stalls and so on, let’s wait until next year to make proper preparations.

"Hey, wait a moment, the person in front."

The night before the Summer Night Festival.

Chu Bai, who was about to go home, was suddenly stopped by a white-haired girl.

Chu Bai immediately slapped his thigh:

"Hey! I planted this tree, I built this road!"
