moist.

soft.

These were all wonderful, but Su You didn't pay any attention to them at the moment.

Because he heard the familiar sound of coins being put into a bag.

But the problem is, he had already "checked in" on Miss Bachi when he delivered the vegetables this morning!

Was it possible for the same person to clock in twice in one day before?

Su You glanced at her [System Wallet].

Current Wallet: 0 Gold Coins, 13 Silver Coins, 11 Bronze Coins

This time, instead of adding 10 copper coins for checking in, I directly added 1 silver coin, which is 100 copper coins.

It increased tenfold.

Su You looked at the eight-foot-tall lady who was sucking her finger with a look of fascination and fell silent.

So, does the level of exposure to rewards in the next stage have to reach this point?

That condition seems a bit too harsh.

Chapter 47 The Gate to the Inner World

"Miss Eight Feet? Miss Eight Feet?"

Su You tried calling out a few times.

But Miss Hachisho didn't respond at all, and was completely absorbed in eating "things".

This cannot continue.

We need to find a way to wake Miss Hachisaku from this strange state.

First, we need to find out why she is acting this way.

Why does Miss Hachisaku think my fingers smell sweet?

Su You began to seriously consider this matter.

He was cooking in the kitchen before Miss Yasakani came to deliver the dumplings.

I didn't cook anything special, just ordinary home-style dishes.

So it shouldn't be because of dinner.

Going back further, before cooking, he was testing the enchantment of the commemorative coin in his bedroom.

He touched the commemorative coin with his hand.

Is it because of this?

Do commemorative coins have a smell? A pleasant, sweet smell?

Or perhaps the "fragrant" smell that Miss Hachisho described wasn't a smell in the sense she understood it, but rather a different kind of smell.

For example, the scent of the world's origin?

Before enchanting the commemorative coin, he did indeed handle those two wisps of the world's origin energy; perhaps they left some "smell" on his fingers?

Su You thought for a moment and put the plate of dumplings in her other hand aside.

Then, he took the enchanted commemorative coin out of his inventory.

When the commemorative coin, imbued with the essence of the world, appeared in his hand, Miss Yasak paused in her licking motion.

She suddenly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the commemorative coin in his hand.

It's like a hungry puppy seeing a delicious-smelling bone.

"It smells so good...it smells so good..."

She muttered to herself, subconsciously reaching out to grab the commemorative coin.

Seeing that she had been successfully distracted by the commemorative coins, Su You thought to himself, "Just as I thought. It seems that it really is a problem with the world's primordial energy."

Su You withdrew her hand, which had been wet with her saliva, and handed the commemorative coin to her, saying, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Miss Yatachi took the commemorative coin, sniffed it, and then put it in her mouth.

"Click...click..."

Su You heard a chewing sound that made his teeth ache.

That's made of pure copper.

Miss Hachi-tachi has really good teeth.

Thank you, Miss Bazhi, for your kindness earlier.

Miss Yasak chewed carefully for a while until she had completely chewed what was in her mouth before swallowing it. Then she closed her eyes and a satisfied look appeared on her face.

Su You saw the thick black aura around her slowly dissipating.

Her pain is fading.

After a while, Miss Hachi opened her eyes.

She has recovered and remembers what just happened.

A tempting blush rose to her cheeks, and her voice was gentle yet filled with self-reproach: "I'm sorry, Su Jun, did I scare you just now...?"

Su You shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Miss Ba Chi, are you alright?"

"I'm much better now, thanks to the coin Su Jun gave me..." Miss Ba Chi hesitated.

Su You asked, "What would you like to ask, Miss Ba Chi?"

"Um...it may be a bit presumptuous, but I'd like to know, Su Jun, where did you get that coin you just gave me?"

After swallowing the coin, Hachi was surprised to find that his injuries not only did not continue to worsen, but actually improved slightly.

This means that as long as she can consume more of these coins, she will be fully restored.

Su You said, "That coin was ordered from a jewelry store."

"Custom-made? I wonder which jewelry store it was from?"

"That shop is called 'Miss Mira's Jewelry Shop,' but if Miss Yasakani wants to order something from there, I'm afraid she won't be able to get the kind of coin I just mentioned."

"why?"

"Because the coins from earlier were blessed by me."

"Pray for blessings?"

"Yes, that's a ritual in my hometown where people pray for blessings from the gods."

Miss Bachi was taken aback.

She knew that Su You was a transfer student from a great Eastern country.

There are indeed many incredible things in that great country.

Therefore, she did not doubt Su You's words.

"That's it..."

Disappointment showed on Miss Hachi's face.

Su You looked at her and asked, "Miss Bachi wants that kind of coin, right?"

Miss Yasakaki nodded: "Yes... For some reason, I need some money."

Su You suddenly said again, "Miss Ba Chi, you're not human, are you?"

Miss Bachi remained silent for a moment.

"After all, humans can't chew and swallow copper coins. Miss Hachisaku, you're a yokai, aren't you? Or should I call you Lord Hachisaku?"

"Su Jun... I meant no harm... I just... I'm sorry..."

Miss Yachi panicked and tried to explain, but looking into Su You's calm eyes, she could only manage an apology in the end.

"Alright, come in and talk."

Miss Yatachi looked up, her expression slightly surprised: "Huh?"

Su You picked up the plate of dumplings and said to her, "Do you want to stand at the door and talk to me forever? I still have some food cooking in the kitchen. Why don't you go sit in the living room for a while? I'll be right there."

Su You turned and went to the kitchen.

Miss Bachi hesitated for a moment at the door before softly saying, "Excuse me."

Then he came in.

She looked around the house with some curiosity.

The floor, tables, and chairs were all spotless.

It's clear that Su Jun does housework well.

He's a clean boy.

Miss Yachi walked to the table, bent down, ran her hands over her skirt below her thighs, and then sat down gracefully and quietly.

The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, along with a faint aroma.

Miss Bachi sniffed the air, secretly wondering what dish he was making.

A few minutes later, Su You brought the food to the table.

"Want to eat some?"

"No need, I've already had dinner."

"OK then."

Su You poured a cup of tea for Miss Ba Chi.

Then I sat down and started eating.

Miss Bachi wasn't in a hurry. She held her cup and sipped her drink while gently watching Su You eat.

After finishing her meal, Su You put the bowl and chopsticks in the kitchen and sat back down.

"Alright, let's talk now, Miss Yasakani."

"What would you like to talk about, Su Jun?"

Su You looked at her and said, "I can help you make those blessing copper coins. In exchange, I want to know about you demons."

Miss Bachi thought for a moment and said, "That's not fair to you."

After all, although the matter of monsters is a secret, there are actually quite a few people in this world who know about it.

Miss Yasak felt a little guilty about exchanging such semi-public information for something that could save her life.

Su You said, "Then promise to do one more thing for me."

Miss Bachi nodded: "Okay."

"Go ahead."

"Where should I begin when it comes to matters concerning monsters... Su-kun, do you know about the underworld?"

Chapter 48 Let the monsters manage the monsters

"The so-called inner world is not a new world in a physical sense."

"It is a spiritual dimension that overlaps with but is independent of the real world, in relation to the surface world, that is, the real world."

"It is naturally evolved from the spiritual energy of all living beings, especially humans, such as their emotions, beliefs, fears, and desires, mixed with a portion of the world's primordial power. Therefore, the rules and things in the inner world often appear chaotic and bizarre."

"Almost every mythology in the world describes the underworld, though they all have different names: the mortal realm, the mysterious underworld, the abyss, the Yellow Springs, the underworld, the dark realm, the demon capital, the path to the underworld, the place where a hundred ghosts roam at night, the source of all beings' nightmares..."

Listening to Miss Yachi's earnest explanation, Su You gained a general understanding of the existence of the Inner World.

He asked, "So, all monsters are born from the underworld?"

Miss Yasakaki nodded, then shook her head: "Most yokai are born in the inner world from the wandering world's origin and spiritual energy. For example, I was born in the inner world not long after the previous Yasakaki-sama died. If I die, the next Yasakaki-sama will be born. As long as stories or legends about us exist in the mortal world, we will never perish. But each Yasakaki-sama is actually a completely independent individual, with no kinship ties to each other."

"A small portion of the monsters are people, animals, or objects from the mortal world who, due to strong obsessions, curses, or special opportunities, enter the inner world and combine with the wandering world's origin and spiritual energy, thus transforming into them. The difference between the two is that our [core] comes from those legends and stories, so our abilities and personalities will be similar to the descriptions in the stories, while their [core] is their original selves, and their transformed abilities and personalities are more inclined towards their original selves."

"A very small number of monsters are remnants from ancient times. Powerful monsters can also interbreed and give birth to the next generation."
