However, after he casually dispatched a venomous snake demon lurking in the shadows with a single arrow, he discovered something quite frustrating—
Forget about materials, he didn't even get a single bit of experience or Mora.
Only now did Yin Kong suddenly realize that in the game, the experience, Mora, and materials that players gain by fighting monsters in the open world every day, just like research points, actually have a limit on the amount they can obtain.
Although it is unlikely that a player would trigger this limit under normal circumstances, his current situation is clearly unusual.
It's a pity. Originally, Yin Kong had envisioned that one day in the future, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons would use the fragments of the Shikon Jewel to lure all the demons in the city together, and then Zhong Li could continuously gain experience Mora by using "Heavenly Movement".
Such a wonderful life, and it's already bankrupt before it even begins?
However, despite the limitations, being able to gain a lot of experience and Mora every day is ultimately a good thing, right?
Chapter 102 The Most Profitable Investment in the World
"Huh, has Sonoko already left?"
Because the [Barbatos Juvenile Form] had fallen into a deep sleep, Yin Kong could no longer openly teleport back to Zhongli's statue.
Fortunately, his strength is no longer what it used to be.
Moreover, with the protection of the Seven Gods Statue, he no longer needed to worry about charging the teleportation anchor.
But when Yin Kong returned to the Rabbit House, he was somewhat surprised to find that Suzuki Sonoko had already left.
He had originally thought that, given this young lady's persistence in love, she might stay at the agency and not give up until he and Zhong Li returned.
However, although Sonoko left, the agency gained Yoko and her manager Hitomi Yamashiro.
However, it was visibly not very interesting for either of them.
Especially Yamashiro Hitomi, who always had a serious expression, looked extremely ashamed at this moment.
What happened?
"Perhaps it was because this manager accidentally made Ms. Suzuki leave?" Upon hearing Yin Kong's words, Kanoin Heizo immediately explained, "Of course, saying she left in anger might be an exaggeration. To be more accurate, she probably annoyed her away."
The reputation of the Suzuki Group is well-known even to ordinary high school students like Nanami Aoyama, let alone managers like Hitomi Yamashiro who have been in the entertainment industry for many years.
Of course, this manager was probably the one among everyone present who best understood how important Sonoko Suzuki was, and also the one who cared about her the most.
Because if she could take the opportunity to get in touch with the second young lady of the Suzuki Group, the rewards would be incredibly great for both Ms. Yoko and herself.
Even if it weren't for her being just a small-time manager, even if the big boss of their entertainment company came, he would have to show the most friendly attitude when facing Suzuki Sonoko.
The subsequent developments are self-evident.
Even though Hitomi Yamashiro was highly skilled and didn't make her eagerness and flattery too obvious, how could Sonoko Suzuki, who was extremely experienced in this area, not notice it?
What the agent never dreamed of was that this young lady actually disliked such flattery at all.
Moreover, Hitomi Yamashiro wasn't exactly a charming and handsome man, so Sonoko Suzuki naturally found her somewhat annoying.
More importantly, she found that she was not receiving any news from Zhongli at the agency, and her offensive against Kanoin Heizo was repeatedly thwarted.
Xiao Lu's manner of treating people is impeccable, but the distance, even the sense of rejection, beneath her politeness is also quite obvious.
Coupled with the "harassment" from her agent, she finally chose to leave.
"Well done, you did a great job, Yamashiro's agent."
Having understood the cause and effect, Yin Kong couldn't help but give Yamashiro Hitomi a thumbs up.
After all, he still had some things to deal with, and if this young lady continued to stay in the office and pester Zhong Li, it wouldn't be convenient for him to directly ask her to leave.
Yamashiro Hitomi's actions were exactly what he wanted.
However, it was clear that Yin Kong's praise was interpreted as extremely sarcastic by Shan Cheng Tong.
However, she no longer had the mood to retort.
Because if this happened at the company, and she angered such a distinguished guest, the boss would have to personally drag her into his office and give her a severe dressing-down.
If Sonoko Suzuki had even mentioned it when she left, the company could very well have fired her on the spot.
Seeing Hitomi Yamashiro's utterly embarrassed expression, Yoko Okino couldn't help but sigh and offer words of comfort:
"Alright, Tong-jie, I think Yin Kong wasn't really being sarcastic. And that Miss Suzuki is clearly not the petty type; she won't hold a grudge about what happened today..."
“Indeed.” Kanoin Heizo nodded gently and said, “I can feel the persistence in her heart. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely come again tomorrow.”
Sensing the helplessness in Kanoin Heizo's words, Yamashiro Hitomi's gaze immediately became exceptionally complex.
Although you are indeed outstanding in appearance and have an excellent temperament, this is the heiress of the Suzuki Group. How come it seems that in your eyes, she is not as popular as an ordinary girl, Aoyama Nanami?
“Because this is the Rabbit House.” As if sensing his manager’s thoughts, Kanoin Heizo shook his head slightly and reminded her, “It’s better not to complicate things here, Ms. Yamashiro. At least I think that if you directly tell Ms. Suzuki your thoughts, the chances of success will be slightly higher than if you make a clumsy attempt to probe.”
After saying that, Kanoin Heizo remained silent.
If this agent fails to grasp this point, then the doors of this agency will likely remain closed to her for much longer.
"Huh? So Miss Yamashiro actually needs something from Sonoko? Shocking, I didn't even realize it."
This statement, of course, came from Paimon, who had been completely oblivious to the situation.
However, the little guy quickly forgot about this trivial matter and, holding Yin Kong's hand, said excitedly:
"Yin Kong, look! Miss Yuanzi's money for the stone carving has arrived in our account! We're rich!"
Having lived in this world for several months, she was already very clear about the purchasing power of the yen.
"Ten billion yen! Yoon-kong, why don't we set off on a world tour from here? That way we can experience all the delicious food and fun things to do!"
Yin Kong naturally wouldn't refuse Paimon's suggestion, and said with a smile:
"Alright, once we deal with those annoying guys, we'll continue our journey through this world."
Paimon immediately cheered, but then quickly remembered something:
"Oh, and Miss Yoko too. With this money, we won't need to trouble Miss Yoko with the funding matters so often, right?"
But I know the rules; in this situation, there will definitely be an extra bonus...
"Hey, Ms. Yoko, you've clearly made a lot of money, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
"How could that be?" Ms. Yoko hesitated for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "I was just thinking that rather than letting this money sit in my bank account gathering dust, it would be better for it to stay with the firm. With your abilities, you're sure to earn even more money in the future and bring me greater returns, right?"
Little Paimon paused for a moment, then quickly said smugly:
“Miss Yoko, you really have an eye for talent. Yin Kong and I are the most powerful combination in the world. If this investment were placed with us, it would definitely be the most profitable investment in the world.”
Chapter 103 is finally here!
"By the way, everyone look at me, I have something to announce." After drawing everyone's attention, Yin Kong said, "Just now, two more agents returned to the Rabbit House."
Has the Traveler pulled another new character?
Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately pouted:
"Well, Yin Kong, you went to pick someone up without calling me."
Aoyama Nanami, however, had already developed a conditioned reflex, and upon hearing those words, she instinctively turned around.
Sure enough, a petite green figure came into view, scratching her head sheepishly and saying:
"Hello everyone, my name is Ke Lai."
Was it actually a young girl?
And it seems like he's not even as big as me?
Since she had never met Fischl, Aoyama Nanami had always assumed that the agents of the Sly Rabbit House were either highly skilled ninjas like Shinobu, shrewd and capable detectives like Kanoin Heizo, or elegant stone sculptors like Mr. Zhongli.
In contrast, although Cole's clothing was indeed somewhat unusual, her demeanor was very approachable.
Especially when faced with so many familiar or unfamiliar gazes, she even showed a hint of introversion and shyness on her face.
Fortunately, Paimon flew over quickly:
"It's actually Cole? Cole, Cole, you've finally arrived."
Hearing the familiar lame joke, Cole was taken aback, then saw Paimon in his free-range chicken form:
"Paimon? Did you... eat some berries?"
Yin Kong said with a smile:
"No, Paimon ate a serving of butter crab, that's why he looks like this."
"That's not right! And why did I become like this after eating the butter crab?" Paimon protested first, then sighed helplessly and scratched his head, "Okay, I shouldn't have thought of Seno's lame jokes every time I saw Cole."
After introducing Kolei to everyone, Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
She remembered that Yin Kong had said that two agents had been brought back this time, but what about the third one?
The question was answered quickly.
Suddenly, the office door was knocked open, and a bright, lively girl with a distinctly Chinese appearance quickly walked in.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiangling, and my specialty is making all kinds of dishes."
Ju... he actually obediently came through the main gate?!
For some reason, seeing that Xiangling didn't just "refresh" out from behind her, but instead walked into the office with a serious expression, Aoyama Nanami felt something was missing.
Isn't this girl a legitimate agent of the Sly Rabbit House?
"Wow!" Paimon couldn't contain his excitement any longer. He grabbed Yin Kong's arm and shook it vigorously. "Yin Kong, does that mean we can have a feast every day from now on?"
For Paimon, while Navelette and Mavica were powerful, her most eagerly anticipated friends were undoubtedly Xiangling and Aikofi.
After all, in the little guy's heart, eating, drinking, and having fun are the most important things besides traveling with Yin Kong.
Is this Xiangling?
Yoko Okino remembered the name because Paimon had mentioned that this Xiangling and another chef named Aikofei were even better cooks than Yin Kong.
Judging from Paimon's speechless reaction, it's clear that this girl's culinary skills are truly exceptional.
The Eye of God—no wonder he's someone who can be watched over by the gods.
Noticing the fire-attribute God's Eye hanging from Xiangling's waist, the popular idol felt both envious and increasingly curious.
Because she already knew that among Yin Kong's friends were many idol artists who were skilled in acting.
How amazing must a performance be to be recognized even by the gods?
After introducing the new members, Aoyama Nanami's mission for the day was completely completed.
The dejected manager left with her. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have listened to Xiao Lu's advice, but she was clearly still struggling with her feelings.
"Now that Xiangling is here, how about we have Wanmintang Boiled Fish for dinner tonight? Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since we've had the chance to taste Xiangling's cooking, so we've been really craving it."
With "outsiders" gone, Paimon completely relaxed and began to speak freely:
"By the way, Kolei, Heizo, and Yoko, none of you have tried Xiangling's cooking yet, have you?"
Kora and Yoko naturally shook their heads, but Heizo looked on expectantly and said:
"I've long heard of Chef Xiangling of Wanmin Hall. After all, Wanye has mentioned more than once that Wanmin Hall's home-style dishes are the most anticipated thing for sailors during boring sea voyages."
"Wan Ye's praise is really too much." Xiang Ling scratched her head a little embarrassedly, but she quickly shook her head helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, if Paimon wants to eat [Wanmintang Boiled Fish], I probably can't make it."
Paimon was taken aback, then asked in confusion:
"Huh, why is that?"
Yin Kong patted Paimon's little head and reminded him:
"Because we lack the ingredients, Paimon, have you forgotten? Boiled Fish requires Jueyun Chili and Glass Bag."
“That’s right.” Xiangling’s face showed no sign of disappointment; instead, she became full of energy. “But Paimon, don’t worry, I’ll soon find new ingredients and make an even better boiled fish!”
The new world, filled with unfamiliar ingredients, might be a nightmare for other chefs, but for her, it was a paradise for culinary practice.
"How could this be?" Paimon was clearly devastated upon hearing the result and immediately wilted. "But right now, I really want to eat [Wanmintang Boiled Fish], Traveler. Without [Boiled Fish], I feel like I'll feel so heavy-hearted that I won't even be able to fly."
Yin Kong also looked helpless:
Even if you say that, Paimon, I still—
“Um… um… if it’s just [Jueyun Pepper] and [Liuli Bag], I might be able to help.”
Everyone who heard the voice looked at Cole in surprise.
