A fierce fire broke out, billowing black smoke, accompanied by the mournful cries of a baby.

This should be the end of it, right?

Su You saw the ball of flame slowly moving towards the river.

It's clear that it really wants to live.

Unfortunately, it was located a bit far from the river, and soon it was completely still, burning quietly.

Golden and silver reflections burst forth from its body, then vanished in an instant.

Su You glanced at her system wallet and was very satisfied.

This monster dropped two gold coins and some silver coins.

Now we have the money to buy special weapons for Xiao and Xiang!

Su You quickly opened the game and purchased the limited-time offer.

He felt much better after making the purchase.

You little devil, you monster truly delight me!

However, the black smoke in front of her grew thicker and thicker, and Su You felt it was irritating her eyes.

Even though he now has the effect of "bright eyesight", he still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then opened them again.

Then he found himself surrounded by a familiar mist.

advertise!!!

On the glowing panel in front of them was an ancient scroll covered with strange patterns, radiating a golden light.

Su You heard that familiar, impassioned voice ring in her ears:

"Family members! Attention! Today we're not selling food! We're not selling clothes! We're selling fate! It's destiny!"

"Look! This isn't an ordinary scroll, it's a [Spirit Control Scroll] for summoners only!"

"No blood needed, no incantation required, just tear it open and use it. As long as the target is already in a weakened state, you can forcibly bind the spirit. The moment the thoughts meet, the oath will become an inviolable law."

"Originally 100 gold coins! Now only 1 gold coin! A steal! Hurry and grab yours!"

A "Buy Now" button popped up on the panel.

The top right corner shows the start of a countdown at 00:00:20.

A scroll that can force a contract to be executed?

Anyway, I still have enough money! Let's just buy it!

If I have the chance in the future, I can catch a monster, contract it to make it a shikigami, and then I can change my job to become an onmyoji. Maybe I can even use this identity to work in the special cases department.

Chapter 66 An Encounter with a Great Demon (4K)

The next moment, a notification popped up on the panel:

【Purchase successful! 】

[Current wallet: 0 gold coins, 1 silver coin, 74 bronze coins.]

The coins Su You had just obtained from killing a few rats and oil-spoiled monsters were gone in less than a minute.

Then, the surrounding fog began to dissipate rapidly.

Su You stood on the shore again, with a raging fire in front of him.

However, the flames are in a state of "stillness".

A few seconds later, the fog completely disappeared, and time in the real world returned to normal.

Su You felt that scalding heat and that pungent black smoke again.

He turned around and walked towards the back.

The Oil Cub has already dropped coins, indicating that the system has determined that it has been "killed".

It's definitely dead; Su You doesn't need to worry that it's faking its death to prepare for a sneak attack.

After walking a few steps, Su You arrived in front of the several huge, mutated black oil rat corpses.

These rats, though much larger than normal rats, almost the size of cats and dogs, are still far smaller than a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

However, after they were killed by Su You, they dropped several silver coins, more than the pigs.

This means that the size of the opponent is not the only indicator of how much money it can generate; a criterion similar to "superhuman traits" should be added.

The higher the opponent's extraordinary characteristics, the more coins will be generated.

Su You looked down at the rats' greasy black fur, thought for a moment, and decided not to touch them directly.

What if these things are poisonous?

Su You took out disposable food gloves and several garbage bags from her inventory.

Just in case, he first threw a disposable glove on the carcass of a rat.

The gloves were not corroded.

It can be confirmed that wearing gloves ensures safe contact.

Su You put on three layers of disposable gloves before bending down to pick up the rat carcasses and put them into a garbage bag.

Afterwards, Su You put the gloves and garbage bags into her inventory, then opened the [Crush Panel] and threw them in together.

This is so convenient for destroying evidence and such.

The black vortex spun, spitting out a thick mass of black oil and several colorless small crystals.

Su You checked the item information.

[Slippery tar]

Quality: Average.

[Type: Consumable.]

[Effect: Can be applied to weapons to provide a "slippery" effect.]

Is this knife oil?

Su You picked up the Scout Dagger from her waist and tried to coat it with a layer of black oil.

He opened the [Equipment Panel] and saw a new line of text appear above the short sword:

[Slippery: When attacking enemies, there is a chance to trigger an oil-stained attack, which can cause enemies to be briefly "unbalanced".]

The slippery effect looks pretty good. Once it is successfully triggered during battle, Su You will essentially have an extra soft control skill.

However, there is also a drawback: the short sword, which was originally an invisible blade, now has a visible outline because it is coated with black oil.

Therefore, it depends on the specific situation to decide whether or not to apply oil.

Su You checked the ground again to confirm that the rats hadn't dropped any equipment after being killed.

Then he returned to the place where the oil-born child had been burned to death.

The flames burned fiercely and quickly.

The corpse of the oil-loving child, which was the black oil on the ground, is now almost completely burned.

Su You felt it was a bit of a waste.

The black oil on the ground should be the same kind of thing as the slippery tar that came out after he crushed those rat carcasses.

If he could collect them all, it would be enough for him to oil his weapons many times over.

Hmm? Through the dying flames, Su You suddenly noticed a faint blue light in the ashes on the ground.

It was exactly the same light he saw when he first encountered the "curator's malice" in the library elevator.

This looks like a blue item of excellent quality.

A few seconds later, the flames went out completely, leaving only a layer of black ash.

Su You waited a few more seconds.

The ground temperature dropped rapidly due to the river breeze.

He bent down, took out a pair of chopsticks from his inventory, rummaged through the ashes, and found a worn-out black oil jug.

It looks somewhat like an old-fashioned kettle, with a thick layer of sticky, semi-solidified black grease covering the body, except for the handle, which appears relatively clean.

Dirty oil bottle

Quality: Excellent.

[Type: Assistive device.]

[Effect: Tar Conversion: Other oils added to this container will be converted into a slippery tar.]

[Effective Space Capacity: The pot contains a small space that can hold a large amount of tar.]

It is indeed a high-quality item, but it is not of the type that can be equipped, just like the [Treasure Scan Blueprint].

Su You was worried that the slippery tar she had extracted from the rat carcasses was insufficient, but now that she had this oil can, she wouldn't have to worry about that problem anymore.

The monster was killed, and the equipment and money were collected. It was time for me to leave this place.

It may seem like a long time has passed, but in reality, less than three minutes have elapsed since the start of the battle.

Su You's [Bright Eyes] effect still had more than half of its duration remaining.

He walked to the bottom of the bridge, filled the tar in the pit with oil grime into the "Dirty Oil Jar," then quickly returned to the roadside, got on his bicycle, and left.

A few minutes later, a small white-faced golden fox appeared at the scene.

It sniffed the air and whispered:

"It smells bad here... but also smells good... what good stuff could it be... it must have gone that way..."

The little fox raised its head, and in a flash, it disappeared.

A few minutes later, a woman dressed as a witch and a man who looked like a monk arrived at the scene.

The shrine maiden held a strange metal object in her hand: "The demonic energy fluctuations shown by the instrument are emanating from here."

"This place was burned; it's still warm."

The monk squatted down and picked up a small piece of ash from the ground with his fingers.

"Such a thick layer of oil must be from an oil-stained plant."

"Has it already been defeated by someone?"

"Mostly yes."

"No one reported this in the group."

"They are probably not officials, but mostly enthusiastic civilians."

"Forget it, as long as no accident has occurred, that's fine. Check the surrounding area, and if there's nothing unusual, notify someone to come and clean up the battlefield."

"Ah."

Riding her bike against the night wind, Su You mentally reviewed the battle.

There are no tactical problems.

Apply buffs beforehand, use [Primal Aura] to lure the enemy into attacking, amplify their greedy negative emotions, use the ring for hypnotic control, and finally switch to the Strength set for a brutal one-hit kill.

The battle went smoothly, and the protection that Miss Yata provided for him was not triggered.

Since it works in practice, he can continue to use this tactic next time.

In addition, the test results are also in.

Monsters can drop money and equipment, and the drop rate is quite high. The first kill yielded gold coins and blue equipment.

Although their abilities are strange and somewhat dangerous, Su You can easily defeat them if he knows their weaknesses.

Of course, this only refers to ordinary monsters like the Aburakako.

Su You glanced at her inventory again, and found that in addition to an oil can emitting a blue light, there was also a scroll emitting a purple light.

He bought it when it was advertised and promoted.
