You say this is a love game?

Just next to the bench, a street lamp was emitting bright light.

His sight unconsciously focused on the blazing light. He saw early summer moths and mosquitoes flying around the street lamp, attracted by the light and warmth, and clustered around it.

At this moment, an indescribable emotion surged in Panasonic Kei's heart.

"Ah, cough cough..."

He seemed to be about to say something, but instead he coughed as if he was choking. He coughed hard, a look of shock gradually appearing in his eyes. He almost squeezed all the air out of his lungs. The intense stinging sensation spread from his heart, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a longing for oxygen.

He sat down on the ground and began to breathe deeply, breathing hard. As he breathed, tears flowed down his eyes. He cried and gasped at the same time, just like the moment he was born, when the baby took his first breath in his cradle.

……

……

"He doesn't want to die yet."

"Ultimately, his survival depends on his own will to live."

Makoto Mizutani took Yoshiko Satori's hand and turned to leave.

Yoshiko Satori looked back every time she walked, still looking at the young man breathing under the street light. Suddenly, a strong feeling of joy surged in her heart. This emotion came suddenly, but was as sweet as honey, filling her originally depressed heart.

"very nice."

Yoshiko Satori muttered softly. She was once saved by Makoto Mizutani, and now looking at Kei Matsushita behind the two of them, she seemed to feel even more touched.

Mizutani Makoto was still thinking about what had just happened. He finally took out Gu Chun's spirit core. Under the guidance of Furuya Ruriko, he opened the boy's chest directly and placed the spirit core in it. He also merged [Matsushita Kei's soul] into the spirit core.

There is a soul and a spiritual core.

He has the freedom to choose.

Judging from the results, Matsushita Kei did not let down the spirit core he obtained by killing Gu Chun. With the help of Gu Chun's powerful vitality and spiritual power, he finally struggled out of the state of death and was reborn in a form different from ordinary humans.

What will it become in the future?

No one knows.

But at least at this moment, one unlucky guy was saved.

Satori Yoshiko walked faster and faster, holding his hand, jumping and skipping as if she was about to fly. He couldn't understand her joy at all. She seemed to be the happiest person. His joy, that of Matsushita Kei, was far less pure than hers.

As she was running, she pulled his hand and told him to squat down. This caring little girl bit his face with her "Mua~!"

Mizutani Makoto touched his wet cheek and was stunned for a moment. Then he seemed to realize something and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He was only a sixteen-year-old boy, but he seemed to have realized in advance the joy that only an old father could feel.

It was like that little girl looking at you with admiration, grabbing your face and kissing you hard... His bones were almost broken! He walked so lightly that he almost fell down when he kicked a stone!

bad thing.

It makes me have unrealistic fantasies about the creature called "daughter".

Hurry up and wake up from the illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan!

But to be honest, it's really cute...

Hey.

There was a slight vibration sound coming from Mizutani Makoto's pocket. He was stunned for a moment. Someone really came to break his illusion.

Now, it is late at night.

The park was quiet, with only a few dim street lights in the distance casting a soft glow. The night breeze blew lightly with the warmth and coolness unique to early summer. The girl's laughter was as clear as a wind chime. When she heard the movement in Mizutani Makoto's pocket, she couldn't help but move closer, tilting her head to look at him, with a smile still on her little face.

Mizutani Makoto hesitated for a moment, but still took out his cell phone.

The moment the screen lit up, the cold white light reflected on his slightly tired face, and also illuminated a small outline of Satori Yoshiko's profile.

It's a message notification from Line.

[Inaba: Senior, has the strange story been solved? ]

Greetings from Miyamizu Inaba.

The day before yesterday, he asked Miyamizu Inaba how to deal with the enemy. Since then, Miyamizu Inaba has always been concerned about the progress of his exorcism. According to Miyamizu Inaba's suggestion, the deceased Matsushita Kei should be rested in peace on Wednesday, and the Contracted Ghost should be killed. It was out of his personal selfishness that he delayed the matter until late Thursday night.

[Blue-haired water monster: Solved, and a perfect ending.]

【Inaba: What's the ending?】

[Blue-haired water monster: a tiny miracle.]

Mizutani Makoto chuckled.

He did not tell Miyamizu Inawa the name of "Matsushita Kei", nor did he plan to tell Miyamizu Inawa about his resurrection... Some things do not need to be explained too much. If he says too much, he will have to make up a lot of lies, and the ending will probably not make sense. For the time being, just treat it as an unlucky guy who died in the ghost story. Anyway, Miyamizu Inawa will not dwell on this matter.

If he didn't say it, Miyamizu Inaba would definitely not have been so curious, and the topic was quickly brought over.

Inaba: Senior, you're quite skilled at exorcism... Hehe, I've also finished dealing with my own problems. Coincidentally, I ran into a monster that was trying to harm people, so I just chopped it down... Unfortunately, I didn't get much from the lower-ranking monsters.

The girl mentioned it to him casually, seemingly wanting to share the daily life of an exorcist.

Of course, she is also very tactful.

Inaba: I won't bother you anymore. You're always exhausted after a battle, I'm sure you're the same, right, Senpai? So, take a good rest~!

Just a brief chat, that's all.

Mizutani Makoto stretched himself. It was late at night and it was about time for him to go home and rest.

If I don't stop now, I'll really be working all night long into the morning.

"But having said that, there's something I still need to do first..."

Stay up all night!

The mission rewards must be obtained first!

Mizutani Makoto's eyes fell on the pop-up window of Tongzi's task, but found that the completion rate of this task had reached 120%.

[Quest Status Update: Since ancient times, young men have been full of chivalry (120%)]

[The mission has been completed, and the mission reward has been issued. ]

Mission Reward: 600 million yen, 2 free attribute points, 4 spiritual powers, 4 small forging stones, 2 forging stones, 1 innocent heart.

"?"

The mission reward is a critical hit again!

When he saw the completion rate of "120%", Mizutani Makoto immediately realized that this task was the same as the previous bond task of Satori Yoshiko, and the reward would be doubled again.

Mizutani Makoto took a few more glances at the 600 million yen reward. Although he knew that this thing was definitely the least valuable of all the rewards, even less valuable than a small forging stone, the desire to buy a house made him unable to help but pay close attention to it.

600 million yen, which was 300 million yen before doubling.

Is this the price of a BOSS of the same rank?

Mizutani Makoto suddenly remembered something and looked through his previous mission records. It seemed like the monetary rewards for the Paper Rank missions were actually worth 50 yen per boss.

As for the parallel level, this thing is 300 million.

Converted at today's exchange rate, it's about 15 RMB, but the purchasing power of the currencies of the two countries is different, and the cost of living is very different, so there's no need to convert.

"So, my little stash now has 10 million yen. With my extraordinary talent and hard work for a few months, combined with Tongzi's insignificant mission reward, shouldn't I be able to move out soon?"

……feasible!

Before taking into account the scholarships received, the Mizutani family's savings were about 400 million yen. Now with the 50 yen from the ghost doll and the 600 million yen from the contract ghost story, it has reached nearly 1100 million yen. This small treasury has become abundant all of a sudden. It means that he wants to buy a house instead of renting one, otherwise he and Kako would have moved to a big house long ago.

“Make money early.”

"It would be perfect if we could get the moving done during the summer vacation."

Summary – The Mizutani family’s savings have increased significantly!

It’s just that the value of spiritual power seems a bit low.

A total of 4 points, which means only 2 points before doubling?

When he was doing emergency missions at Ye Jian High School in the past, Tongzi offered him a price of 1 free attribute point plus 2 spiritual power points for each paper-level boss. But when he upgraded to the lower level, the paper-level boss that once gave him a great harvest... taking the ghost doll as an example, actually only gave him 1 spiritual power point, and not even a free attribute point.

Then it’s the turn of the lower-level Contract Ghost Story, which replaces the previous upper-level Paper, and now provides 1 free attribute point, plus 2 spiritual power points.

"Tongzi's judgment system must be dynamic..."

"But we have to think about it from another angle. Two spiritual power points of the level rank equal 20000 souls, but two spiritual power points of the paper rank only equal 4000 souls. The difference is huge. If we convert them, these two spiritual power points are equivalent to the previous ten spiritual power points."

And now, after doubling it, 4 points of spiritual power means 40000 souls...

Mizutani Makoto calculated it clearly in his mind, so he didn't think that Tongzi had swallowed his spiritual power points.

It seems to be the same reward, but the value is completely different.

"It's ok."

As for those two free attribute points.

Mizutani Makoto rubbed his chin, lost in thought. He quickly opened the skill interface, focusing primarily on his "God of War."

【Shugendo God of Destiny】:435／500 (Beginner)

In the introductory stage, the proficiency of skills accumulates very quickly. Makoto Mizutani's swordsmanship, which he practices every day, is still nearly 2,000 proficiency points away. However, the seldom-used skill of summoning gods has soared to the critical point of upgrading after not looking at it for a while.

"The power of summoning gods and spirits is a supernatural power of Shugendo."

"It's very physical..."

According to Mizutani Makoto's judgment, even if "Commanding the Gods and Spirits" has reached the proficient stage, if he wants to fully exert the effect of this magical power, he will probably have to increase his physical strength to 7.

This is a school that emphasizes strength and power, and its magical powers have extremely demanding requirements on physical fitness. It was only because of Mizutani Makoto's natural talent and Tongzi's insignificant points that he was able to avoid a lot of tedious training. Otherwise, even if he tried his best to strengthen his muscles and bones, it would be difficult for him to reach the optimal configuration required for the proficiency level at the age of sixteen.

Looking at it this way, there is no need to consider it.

His strength has been maxed out, and his agility and intelligence are naturally high, but his weakness now lies in his physical strength.

[Stamina: 5→7]

[Spiritual Power: 23→27]

After adding all the free attribute points, Mizutani Makoto suddenly felt refreshed.

His body became stronger.

Endurance, strength, recovery, resistance... The young man stretched his muscles on the edge of the tatami. Now with the dual effects of physical and spiritual power, his energy was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The only things left are the [Small Forging Stone] and the [Forging Stone]. There's not much to say about these two items. The upper limit of the Small Forging Stone is "Strengthening +5", while the upper limit of the Forging Stone is "Strengthening +10"... Of course, this is the digital representation of Tongzi. In a first-hand book, it would probably be a description such as "quality".

Also, the final hidden reward.

"Innocent heart?"

Mizutani Makoto looked at his backpack and realized it was an ornament, like a medal.

【Innocent Heart】

Description: This silver fleur-de-lis medallion is inlaid with crushed rubies at its center, and its edges are plated with worn protective runes. Wearing it grants a +1 Charm bonus, making people more likely to be friendly with you and more likely to believe what you say.

【Evaluation: Village Hero! 】

"hiss……"

Your thing has some elements of the inner world.

Is this a prop that can be put out in the open?

Mizutani Makoto pursed his lips, and finally forced himself to hold back the upturned corners of his mouth.

This thing can't be considered to increase combat power, but "charm" is an attribute that cannot be increased. Now, when he merges with Satori Yoshiko, he will be able to benefit from the little god of fortune, and his charm attribute will be greatly improved. On a normal day, there is really no way to increase his charm attribute points.

This alone is extremely precious.

Not to mention the side effects afterwards...

Mizutani closed the pop-up window of the task reward with great satisfaction and fell comfortably on the tatami.

After working so hard for most of the day, it's finally time to take a break.

He yawned. This was the same every time he took the [Secret Medicine for Boiling Blood]. After the extreme activity, he would feel extremely sleepy.

Yoshiko Satori rushed over, rested her head on his arm, hugged him tightly like an octopus, then closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
