Chapter 5 The Old Father Cries

If you don't open the lid, you won't know if it's a thank you for your patronage; if you open it, it definitely means thank you for your patronage! — A dying curse from a European emperor.

Seeing that the child was not interested in thanking her for her patronage, she grabbed a pillow just in case.

"Ah~Mah~" Suddenly, there were screams from the quilt. A lump in the quilt tried to quickly break out, and a bigger lump behind it pounced on it.

"Oh, why is the quilt running away? Quilt, don't run away~"

It was a human voice coming from under the covers, but to Miko, it looked like Takahashi Takumi was just trying to chase down a demon. Why did this exorcism method look like a delinquent teasing a little girl? And it was the kind of method he used.

"Bang" Takumi Takahashi fell to the ground, holding the evil spirit in his hand and looking into its eyes.

This... Now the room suddenly became quiet, the evil spirit forgot to roar, Takahashi Takumi was also stunned, and Jianzi was so scared that she hugged the pillow in her arms.

However, the black mist on the evil spirit faded a lot, and then it realized, "You, you can see..."

Without waiting for it to say hello, Takahashi Takumi felt something real in his hand, so he immediately covered its mouth with one hand and punched it on the head, followed by two jabs.

Finally, the evil spirit began to struggle weakly and began to become transparent, dissipating in Takahashi Takumi's hands. Looking at his hands, Takahashi Takumi seemed to understand:

"Hmm, can I touch spirits by activating the energy absorption field? If so, can I switch to a physical exorcist? However, correspondingly, when I can touch spirits, those evil spirits will attack me regardless of whether I can see them or not.

No, in my current situation, it seems that I can only resort to physical exorcism."

"Takahashi-kun, are you okay?" Jianzi, who was standing by, saw that the evil spirit of the mama's boy had disappeared, and hurried over to ask.

"I just fell down accidentally. Don't worry, I'm fine," Takahashi Takumi said nonchalantly, waving his hand. His eyes flicked towards the bed, "By the way, does Yotsuya-san have any unhealthy books hidden under his bed? Let me take a look!"

After saying that, Takumi Takahashi turned around and went in, but he didn't see anything.

"What a bummer, there's nothing here." Takahashi Takumi clapped his hands and stood up regretfully, "Okay, there should be no dirt in the room now."

Phew! Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the creature under the bed was mobile and not in a fixed place. And most importantly, the evil spirit in the quilt was gone. She could sleep peacefully tonight.

At this moment, Jianzi looked at Takumi Takahashi's face and suddenly realized that the evil spirit was not so scary.

"Thank you, Takahashi-kun"

"You're so polite, but speaking of thank you, how do you want to thank me?" Takahashi Takumi asked with a smirk on his face.

"This... I..." Jianzi didn't know how to answer for a moment, "Pay money? I heard that the appearance fee of the Onmyoji is very expensive, I can't afford it. Lift up the skirt to let him see my panties? No, no, no, I'm not such a frivolous woman, and isn't this used for apology? Do I have to..."

As Jianzi thought about it, his face flushed and he quickly buried his face in the pillow. Suddenly, he recalled the lunch break.

"How about I bring you a lunch box? Doesn't Takahashi-kun make his own lunch box? This way, Takahashi-kun won't have to go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Bento? That's fine, but not just for once. I need at least enough for a whole semester," Takahashi Takumi raised the price proudly.

Seeing Takahashi Takumi's smug look, Jianzi suddenly felt a little angry. I didn't say I would only bring it to you once. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she pouted and bargained:

“No, one week at most.”

"make a deal!"

A deal was struck.

"Knock knock knock" someone suddenly knocked on the door, "Jianzi, mommy is here with some drinks and snacks"

"Oh, I'll be right there."

Hearing her mother's voice, Jianzi quickly put the pillow back on the bed and threw the quilt that fell on the ground into a corner where she couldn't see the door. Looking back, she saw that Takahashi Takumi had already taken out the book and placed it on the desk.

"Thank you, Mom." Jianzi opened the door and took the tray with two cups of lemon tea and some small cookies on it.

At the door, Miko's mother saw Takahashi Takumi sitting at the desk and nodded to herself. Seeing that Miko didn't seem to be unusual, she smiled and said:

"Jianzi, you haven't been in a good mental state recently. You must have fallen behind in your studies. Come on, mom believes in you."

Seeing that Jianzi's mother had left, Jianzi closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Jianzi felt uncomfortable seeing his mother's strange look just now.

"Here, Takahashi-kun, have a drink. It's lemon tea, and some cookies. You're welcome."

Takahashi Takumi didn't hesitate, reaching out and starting to eat and drink. The exorcism had seemed simple, and his face remained calm. But his heart was pounding, and he quickly ate something to calm his nerves.

That mama's boy ghost lasted twice as long as the slime monster, gaining a full 10 energy points. If this guy hadn't been attacked by Takahashi Takumi and wasn't a very aggressive ghost, if he had been the type who kept asking people "Can you see?", there would have been no way he could have escaped unscathed. It was too reckless.

"By the way, Yotsuya-san, I've gained new insights into my abilities through the evil spirits that just happened. And since your family is here, the evil spirits in other parts of your house will have to wait until no one is around."

There is no way. No matter whether I can win or not, now is not the time. There is a long time to come. When he returns after completing his studies, he will destroy them in a snap.

"Well, it's a big help to help me get rid of the stuff in the quilt."

Having just witnessed Takahashi Takumi's physical exorcism, Miko knew she couldn't let her family see it. Furthermore, this physical exorcism method seemed dangerous, and she couldn't help but worry:

"Takahashi-kun, your exorcism method just now...isn't it too dangerous?"

"Don't worry, I will only attack those who are weaker than me?" Takahashi Takumi gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Although Jianzi felt that something seemed wrong when she heard Takahashi Takumi say this, she felt relieved when she saw that Takahashi would definitely not take any risks.

In the end, Takumi Takahashi refused the invitation to stay for dinner and left amid the smirks of Miko's mother and her brother.

Seeing Zi waving goodbye at the door, he turned around and saw his mother and brother sticking up to him, staring at him with a smile. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes rolled around, and he pretended to be confused and asked:

"what's up?"

"What else could it be? What happened to that tall handsome guy just now? Could he be your boyfriend?" The younger brother asked nervously.

Jianzi's mother covered her mouth with her hands and said jokingly: "Oh my, I didn't expect that my Jianzi has grown up in the blink of an eye and has reached this age."

The earthbound spirit Jianzi's father beside him was so excited that he burst into tears. "My Jianzi, are you going to get married now? Or is it so soon for a high school student? What will your grandson be named?"

See you...

Takahashi Takumi knew nothing about this, and at this time he just wanted to refresh the mall to see if he could get a big treasure!

The neon lights cast an intoxicating glow, some people are still busy in the night, and in the corners where no one is watching, shadows begin to spread.

Chapter 6: European Emperor or African Emperor

Place a half-full glass of water in the middle of the table, and surround it with nine grapes in an isosceles triangle. Walk around the table once, wash your hands with clean water; walk around the table twice, wash your face with warm water; walk around the table three times, and it's time!

Click refresh, right here, right now, the moment to witness a person's character has arrived.

The gray interface of the mall burst into brilliant light, and ten products appeared in an instant.

First grid: Gold asteroid/1 energy

Comment: The gold content is enough to be 100 million tons, but it can only be deposited and withdrawn in lump sum. Be careful not to be crushed to death when taking it out!

I get it, it's a mountain of gold. But can it be produced? No matter where such a huge mountain of gold appears, Guo Jia's forces will immediately surge in. The US imperialists' gold reserves are less than 1 tons, right? Who are you showing off these 1 million tons to?

Although a mountain of gold is nice, it is not what I want.

Second grid: Two-way foil (burst) / free

Comment: A newly erupted Two-Dimensional Foil. Someone with a system somewhere imprisoned it and the system recovered it. Those who need it can claim it. Unwanted civilizations are like weeds in the backyard. Use Two-Dimensional Foil on them.

What kind of world-destroying demon? Takahashi Takumi was also frightened. I'm still an ordinary person, okay? Something powerful enough to destroy the world, and for free, how can it be good? And if I take this thing out, I won't be sucked into it myself. Who wants to be turned into a painting?

I am in the second dimension world, not in the two-dimensional plane!

The third grid: One ticket to the Victoria's Secret annual fashion show / 1 energy point

Comments: It can be used in any world where Victoria's Secret exists and is widely popular among gentlemen.

Ugh, what a loser! I wouldn't buy the tickets myself, so why would you sell them to me? I could buy a mountain of gold with 1 energy. The Victoria's Secret Angels could have a party in my room every day.

Fourth grid: Stone Mask/100 energy points

Comment: Wear it and you can become a vampire. Immortality is that simple.

DIO? He is restrained by sunlight. Although he is immortal, he is just food for others. It would be possible for him to become an ultimate creature.

I still want to be a human being, I am so tired.

The fifth grid: Emperor's invitation/free (human only/one-way)

Commentary: In the world of 40K, the Emperor, seated upon the Golden Throne, invites all who possess the power of the System to join the 40K adventure. Those who are interested in the world of K and confident in their abilities are welcome to join. Noobs please!

WTF? Takahashi Takumi was speechless. "Your Majesty, I wanted to kill the thief, but I was powerless. I was too weak to bother you." And who on earth would be so desperate as to travel to the 40K universe? "Everyone who finds out they've traveled to 40K cries like a stubbed toe" wasn't just a lie.

Seeing that more than half of the grids were filled and there was nothing useful, the tall Takumi was a little panicked. It was impossible for a time traveler like us to be unlucky. If we look down, there must be a great treasure.

The sixth grid: a bottle of soy sauce / 1 energy point

Comment: Soy sauce made from animal hair by an illegal workshop.

What Kun? I want immortal arts, magic, ninjutsu; telekinesis, spell power, speed force; Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Great Shift of the Universe, Yi Jin Jing...

Something you can buy at any convenience store actually appears in the system mall. What a crappy system! If I were to recycle it, it would probably be 1 million bottles of a little energy.

Seventh grid: 1 Exploding Talisman/ energy)

Evaluation: A specialty of the Naruto world, the explosion power is equivalent to that of a high-explosive grenade.

High-explosive grenade, laughing and crying, you are so awesome, system.

Damn, was there something wrong with the ritual before the refresh? This shouldn't be the case. I've never drawn cards wrong before. How could a sunny and cheerful boy like me have such bad luck?

The eighth grid: Stand-in - Steel Chain Fingers (Seven-day Trial Card) / 5 energy points

Evaluation: This card is a system copy product. Although it only lasts for seven days, the leap from ordinary to superpowered is worth a try.

Ohhhhhhhh! It's shipped. It's purple, but it's enough to solve Takahashi Takumi's urgent need. A stand is a manifestation of spiritual power, so attacking spirits should be no problem.

The Chain Fingers' ability creates a zipper, creating a space within it, allowing objects to separate and reconnect without damaging them. Simply put, they can cut a person in half, yet remain intact, simply split in half and still alive. They can engage in close combat, boasting both strength and speed, while also using their abilities to cut off opponents and prevent their escape.

Wuhu! Take off! God is helping me!

The Son has passed away, but the golden spirit lives on. Wryyyyyyyyyy!

Ninth slot: Super Soldier Serum/200 Energy

Comment: Can fight all day, in every sense of the word.

Double happiness, luck is unstoppable, what is the European Emperor, this is it! Although I don’t have enough energy to buy it for the time being, I will definitely get it sooner or later.

But isn't 200 energy points a bit too little? A seven-day Steel Chain Finger trial card costs 5 energy points, which translates to 260 energy points a year. Fighting for half a century would require 1 energy points. Using a Super Soldier would at least allow you to live for half a century, so 3 energy points is pitifully little compared to that.

Is it possible that something that simply enhances the body is not valuable, or is it because it is still a technological item and therefore not valuable?

It's a headache, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's see what the last one is and see if it can be improved.

The tenth grid: Cold Jade / 10 energy points per cube

Evaluation: This jade stone, like ice, exudes a chill year-round, and cannot be touched for extended periods by ordinary people. However, it has a calming effect on martial artists, making their practice more effective.

Is this for internal cultivation? Is he giving Xiaolongnu a gift? It's a shame Takahashi Takumi doesn't know martial arts, and how can it be effective against evil spirits? It's a shame. I can buy some for later when I have more energy. It's a pity that I can't buy it now.

After buying the steel chain finger with satisfaction, the energy became 2 points again, but then I looked at my panel again

--------

Looking at the evil spirits squatting in the garbage not far outside the window, hahahaha, evil spirits, I am here to rule over you.

Instantly jumping out of the window, "STICKY FINGERS", a humanoid warrior in blue and white armor, appeared out of thin air. He waved his hand and pressed the wall, and a zipper appeared on the wall. Then he slid down to the ground with Takahashi Takumi, pulling the zipper.

Takahashi Takumi now held his head high and chest puffed out, stalking towards the evil spirit with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. A deep shadow enveloped the evil spirit in the moonlight.
