This place also became his only sanctuary where he could relax and rest.

Otherwise, Yin Kong wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

After all, before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person.

For Paimon, however, being separated from Yin Kong was clearly an extremely agonizing experience.

"Traveler, could you make an exception? Don't worry, my acting is superb, I definitely won't give myself away."

However, faced with Paimon's plea, Yin Kong shook his head without hesitation and said:

"No means no. Unless we are confident in dealing with these monsters, there is no room for negotiation."

He didn't want to regret it later because of a moment of weakness.

Chapter 10 Dawn Sword

The teleportation anchor is a lost technology of Teyvat, rooted in the game's leyline system.

Naturally, after Yin Kong transmigrated to this world, he did not discover the existence of the Seven God Statues and teleportation anchors.

The anchor point in the apartment now is actually a reward he received after completing the initial guidance.

Perhaps due to the lack of support from the ley lines, although Yin Kong can still use teleportation in times of crisis, the anchor point seems to need to be "recharged" after each teleportation, and will be temporarily disabled for about a day.

Not only will you be unable to teleport during this time, the original monster-repelling effect will also disappear.

Therefore, Yin Kong will not use this function rashly.

"However, Paimon shouldn't be too discouraged. With our strength, we will eventually grow bigger and stronger and create new glories."

"Then, of course, we can continue our adventures together."

"Yes, I believe you, traveler."

Paimon nodded vigorously; she never doubted it.

Suddenly, she thought of something, pulled Yin Kongfei to the computer, and proudly introduced it:

"By the way, traveler, look, I've found a lot of requests that match your requirements..."

To keep Paimon from getting too bored, Yin Kong spent a lot of time teaching her how to use the internet.

In this way, Paimon can learn some common knowledge about this world while also keeping an eye out for suitable commissions.

Although the internet was far less widespread in this era than it would be in later years, some relatively professional platforms had already been established.

Even though the commissions on these platforms are a mixed bag and require careful screening, they are still much more reliable than some middle-aged man who lies at home all day waiting for commissions to come to him automatically.

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of clients rejected us outright after learning that we were just a newly established company."

But I followed your instructions and assured them that I wouldn't charge any fees if the request failed, and thankfully quite a few people were willing to give it a try..."

"As expected of Paimon, he is indeed very capable."

Seeing Paimon with his hands on his hips, looking smug and eager to praise him, Yin Kong didn't hesitate to give him a thumbs up.

While the little guy was giggling, he also briefly checked the information of these commissions.

Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of requests were for capturing extramarital affairs or searching for lost pets.

The compensation ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yen.

However, Yin Kong urgently needs a sum of money as start-up capital for [Cunning Rabbit House], so after excluding commissions that skirt the edge of the law, such as those involving extramarital affairs, he directly selected the ones with the highest remuneration.

Then he discovered a commission with a significantly higher fee.

This wasn't a small job involving catching cats or dogs; the client claimed they suspected they were being followed recently.

If you can help her identify any potential stalkers or clear them of suspicion, the other party is willing to pay one million yen or even more.

"That's it."

To Yin Kong's slight surprise, the client was also online at that moment, and he received a reply to his message almost immediately.

After a brief conversation, they quickly set a meeting time for tomorrow.

After leaving comments for two seemingly easier tasks as alternatives, Yin Kong released the keyboard.

Seeing this, Paimon immediately looked at him expectantly:

"Traveler, is it time for another workout?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly and led Paimon to another empty room.

Then, a silver-white one-handed sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This is a sword that once shone as brightly as the rising sun. Whoever wielded it would gain the power of 'feeling good about oneself.' The luminous material on the sword has faded."

Although the phrase "feeling good about oneself" in the weapon description seems like some kind of sarcasm, its actual effect is quite real.

In the game, because it can provide valuable critical hit and critical damage attributes at the same time, this [Dawn Divine Sword] was affectionately called a "three-star artifact" by players.

After two months of experimentation and exploration, Yin Kong has basically determined that a critical hit in reality is roughly equivalent to that "crackling" feeling.

The level of critical damage determines whether this "crackling" is a genuine burst of inspiration or simply a fool's whim.

Although the enhancement from weapons is only temporary and will cease to be effective once the weapons are removed, the training results he made during this period will not disappear.

In fact, if he could become familiar with or even master this inspiration, his base critical hit rate might even be improved.

That's why Yin Kong specifically chose to equip himself with this weapon for training.

It's worth mentioning that he also discovered he wasn't limited to equipping one-handed swords like the Traveler in the game.

Aside from the magical artifacts he hasn't drawn yet, Yin Kong can equip and use any weapon, whether it's a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a bow, or a spear, although his skill level with each is somewhat questionable.

I don't know if this is a change that occurred after the game became reality, or simply because I am a special exception.

"Hmm, this sword strike should have been a bit higher..."

"No, we need to use more force here!"

"When blocking, pay close attention to your wrist position—"

Pai Mengfei stood beside Yin Kong, pointing and commenting on his actions with a smug look on his face.

Paimon was surprised, but not strange, that the traveler suddenly knew nothing about combat and needed his guidance in training.

"Anyway, you've probably gotten caught up in some weird accident again, and your powers and memories have been sealed away? Don't worry, I'm used to this kind of thing, I won't laugh at you."

Even so, Paimon was still extremely excited that one day he could turn the tables on the Heavenly Gang and guide travelers in their training.

Of course, she does indeed have the qualifications.

Despite having less than one-fifth the fighting strength of a wild boar, Paimon's perspective has become extraordinary after experiencing so many earth-shattering events.

Not only is he qualified to take courses at the Order Academy, but he has also mastered many powerful moves such as "Swift as a Sword".

Although these moves are too scattered and completely unsystematic, and can only serve as simple references at best, they are still far superior to those of Yin Kong, who knew nothing about combat back then.

Unfortunately, Paimon is not a professional teacher.

Therefore, most of the time, she could only vaguely sense that there was something wrong with Yin Kong's actions.

As for where the problems are and how to improve them, she found it difficult to say.

Moreover, they often get too cocky and come up with some outlandish and novel ideas.

"Hey, Traveler, I've suddenly had a great idea. You lift one leg and stand on one foot inside the circle, then I'll throw chess pieces at you from outside. If you can avoid getting hit all night, you'll pass..."

"You just want to smash me, don't you?" Yin Kong said helplessly. "And don't think I've forgotten everything. Isn't this the method used by Yuanxia Palace to assess officials?"

"What does 'heh' mean!?"

Nevertheless, whenever he has free time, Yin Kong still trains with Paimon, just like he does now.

This effort will naturally be rewarded.

When Yin Kong first transmigrated to this world, he was completely clueless about how to hold a sword, and he hadn't even unlocked the combat talent of [Normal Attack].

But now, his one-handed sword's normal attack talent has been upgraded to LV2 without consuming any Mora or materials, which naturally excites him greatly.

Unfortunately, after reaching LV2, Yin Kong clearly felt that the effect of simple training was gradually weakening.

He now needs more professional and systematic guidance, or perhaps—

A real battle!

Chapter 11 Okino Yoko

The next morning, carrying Paimon's blessing, Yin Kong once again stepped into this city where demons danced.

Of course, for the sake of his own physical and mental health, he arranged to meet his client at a coffee shop very close to the apartment.

There are no ghosts or monsters in this cafe. Although demons still wander around, it is a friendly enough place for Yin Kong.

When he arrived, he found a man and a woman already waiting at the agreed location, and judging from their expressions and actions, they had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Upon seeing this, Yin Kong quickly walked over and introduced himself, "I am Yin Kong from the Cunning Rabbit House, and I am in charge of your request."

"Mr. Yin Kong, you're too kind. We just arrived ourselves."

The one speaking was the middle-aged man who looked like he had no dreams and was dressed like a typical corporate slave.

He first looked Yin Kong up and down, and after discovering that he was so young, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he quickly put on a polite smile and introduced himself:

"My name is Yamagishi Sakae, it is an honor to meet you."

As for the other young woman, she was wearing classic black sunglasses and a large mask, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

"Okino Yoko?"

Yin Kong remembered her; she was a very popular idol these days, no wonder she was hiding herself so well.

However, the blue text floating above her head rendered all her pretense futile.

Yoko Okino was clearly not prepared for this outcome and exclaimed in surprise:

"Does Mr. Yin Kong know me?"

Yin Kong flattered:

"Miss Yoko is so famous, I doubt there are many customers in this café who don't know you?"

Yoko Okino humbly replied:

"You flatter me. I still have a lot to improve on."

As for Sakae Yamagishi, he is of course her manager.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, he whispered a reminder:

"Since Mr. Yin Kong has recognized Miss Yangzi, he should understand our predicament. Please keep this request confidential as much as possible."

Yin Kong nodded slightly:

"Of course, you two can rest assured, our Rabbit House is a professional."

Yoko Okino earnestly said:

"Then it's up to you."

Her disguise was certainly not flawless, but Yin Kong was able to see through it at a glance, which at least shows that he has a very good eye for observation.

After briefly introducing himself, Yin Kong stopped wasting time and began to inquire about the specifics:

"So, Ms. Yoko, you've discovered that someone is following you?"

At this point, he actually had a vague impression of it.

Like Takagi Sato, Yoko is not a member of the main cast of "Detective Conan," but she is considered a relatively important supporting character.

There are many cases that will be involved in the future, and of course, this seems to be one of them right now.

However, because so much time had passed, Yin Kong could no longer recall the specific details.

He only vaguely remembered that this stalker case was actually about the popular idol's ex-boyfriend committing suicide in her apartment for some reason.

Of course, since Shinichi Kudo hasn't become Conan yet, this murder case shouldn't have happened yet.

However, what really concerned Yin Kong was the current state of Yoko Okino and Sakae Yamagishi.
