Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 93

"And you?" After Bai Ye finished speaking, the door slowly closed again, and Bai Yecha quickly reached out to block the crack in the door.

"Me... I'm going to take a nap first, I went to bed a little late last night..."

"..."

"That's too much!" Bai Yacha, who suddenly realized why Bai Ye slept late, glared at him, but still let go of the door blocking her way: "By the way, I opened your shop door."

"Go ahead, go ahead~" Anyway, you don't have the authority to do anything to yourself. The three waiters at Gemini's place automatically notify you when you exceed a certain limit. Within that limit, you can do whatever you want...

Thinking this, Bai Ye snuggled up to the still-sleeping Black Jeanne and drifted off to sleep as well.

Outside the door, listening to Bai Ye's voice grow softer and softer until the door finally closed, Bai Yacha raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Glancing at the three demons preparing something in the kitchen, Bai Yacha went to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, a girl with the same hair color as her was yawning as she passed by. Upon seeing her face, she twisted her ankle and almost fell to the ground.

"They've added yet another person?"

"Add people? What do you mean?" White Yaksha asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, I just feel sorry for that damn woman." Shaking her head, Mokou peeked towards the counter: "Did he go off to play in another world again, leaving you to watch the house?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Shiroyasha's puzzled expression didn't seem fake, Mokou exclaimed, "You and him aren't in the kind of relationship I was thinking of?"

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

0.0

“I guess I’m just misunderstanding something,” Mokou said, tapping her temple. She looked at Shiroya with curiosity. “What’s your relationship with the manager here, that bastard named Shiroya?”

"It must be the store manager and the customer. I just sold a lot of stuff and couldn't finish it all in one night, so he let me stay here for the night. What else did you think it was?"

"It's nothing." Mokou solemnly extended a hand to Byakuya: "My name is Fujiwara no Mokou, and I'm the leader of the Human Village Self-Defense Corps... But you don't seem to know what the Human Village is, do you?"

"You can call me White Night King." After thinking carefully, White Night Demon gave his name in the Little Garden.

Fujiwara no Mokou: "..."

"What did you say your name was again?!"

Chapter 229 Rich Man Bai x2, Upgraded Teleportation Portal

Back when she first exchanged names with Byakuya, Byakuya had thought of a similar situation, but when it actually happened, she still felt a little pain in her breasts.

After much explanation, she finally convinced Fujiwara no Mokou that she and Byakuya were completely different individuals, rather than her being Byakuya's otherworldly entity or simply Byakuya who had drunk from the Mother's Drowning Spring... But speaking of which, does this unassuming shop actually have such bizarre products that allow someone who even finds troublesome to be turned into another gender?

Following the label's directions, White Demon actually found the "Mother's Drowning Spring" that Mokou had mentioned in the household goods section.

Imagine if one day, when those so-called big shots in the Little Garden were gathered together drinking tea, chatting, and bragging about their achievements, suddenly a pair of hands appeared and poured Mother's Drowned Spring into their cups...

Unable to control his urge to cause trouble, White Demon bought the bottle of Mother's Drowning Spring.

Under Mokou's puzzled gaze, Shiroyasha carefully put away the Mother's Drowned Spring and coughed twice, indicating that the matter was over.

As for Mokou...

The fact that Baiye's general store had such a thing was already strange to her, but what was even stranger was that people would actually buy it!

What was Huiyin's saying again? "The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders."

After reciting a couple of classical Chinese phrases, Mokou, in a great mood, felt that even the White Demon looked much more pleasing to the eye now.

"By the way, where's Bai Yeren? I don't seem to see him."

"He's not up yet..." White Demon's voice carried a hint of frustration.

If it weren't for the fact that her current source power was still far from being able to completely repair her spirit level, she would have really wanted to ignore the pile of artifacts on the ground and go into seclusion first.

Could it be that Bai Ye himself isn't making much money, so he's not very interested in this matter?

That doesn't make sense. If shop owners were this honest these days, they should have gone bankrupt long ago. (You're overthinking it.)

"You don't seem to have anything to do right now, why don't you go for a walk outside?" Mokou pouted and suddenly suggested to Shiroyasha, looking at the three Eredars circling around in the kitchen, seemingly doing nothing.

"Outside..." White Demon's eyes darted around, and she nodded: "That works too."

……

"You mean Mokou took Shiroyasha out shopping?" A while later, Shiroya, who had just gotten up and finished washing up, heard Saloras's report and immediately burst out laughing.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he did subconsciously not want the White Demon to go outside.

The "gods" are a force to be reckoned with in any world, let alone the world of the Little Garden. The power that a White Demon unconsciously reveals is enough for White Night to take seriously.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a shake to both Shiroyasha's card and Mokou's card, urging them to come back quickly.

On a commercial street in the Human Village, White Demon, holding several skewers of dumplings, felt the card vibrate, opened her mouth and swallowed all the dumplings in her hand in one gulp, and said with a soft laugh, "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous."

Mokou, standing to the side, looked utterly bewildered.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you. If we're just talking about friends, you're pretty good in every way except for your lack of strength, so we'll accept you as a friend." With an old-fashioned air, Shiroyasha patted Mokou's shoulder, looked up, and locked her gaze on a barely perceptible slit: "At least for the time being, I won't have any thoughts about this world. After all, angering it right now would be a bit of a foolish choice for me."

"..."

"Let's go back, that guy's already awake."

Completely bewildered, Mokou nodded.

Meanwhile, at the Lost House, Yukari Yakumo, huddled in her blankets, was trembling because of a single glance from the White Demon... Even the Dragon God wouldn't be under this much pressure, right?

What exactly does that guy want to do by putting such dangerous items into this world?!

With a ripping sound, the blanket was torn in two. Yakumo Yukari angrily got up and went into the bathroom, intending to have a good talk with Byakuya later—of course, she had to wait until she couldn't see that dangerous white-haired woman anymore.

……

After an afternoon, a morning, another afternoon, and half an evening, Bai Ye finally finished clearing out all of Bai Yacha's spoils.

After this battle, White Yaksha earned a total of 11.3 billion Origin Coins, which is almost more than all the Origin Coins White Night has ever seen since opening the shop. As for White Night himself...

Aside from things he's personally interested in, it's probably only around 20-30 billion (looking up at the sky).

After White Yaksha returned to his old spot to begin repairing his spirit, White Night also continued to worry about his own strength.

As usual, he first invested 5 billion in the Golden Bloodline to raise its awakening level to 50%, and also underwent a baptism. After the baptism, the blood in his body had changed from light gold to pure gold. At the same time, the immortal body he obtained based on the Qi Induction Technique was about to be unable to suppress the Golden Bloodline...

After all, the Immortal Body only cost him tens of millions, while the Golden Bloodline alone cost him nearly 10 billion in bloodline awakening alone.

To be honest, it's quite surprising that the two have only now clashed.

The next awakening will boost the golden bloodline to 80%, and the amount of Origin Coins consumed will jump to a full 10 billion... Looking at his Origin Coin balance, he still had more than 25 billion. After reserving the 10 billion for the next awakening, Bai Ye casually upgraded the power of the Sun God.

After another 5 billion went in, Bai Ye had the feeling that he could now compare himself to the sun hanging overhead to see who was the real deal and who was the fake... He didn't know if it was just a delusion brought about by his rapid increase in power, but he felt that he might be the one to win.

Of the remaining 20 billion, 10 billion will be kept in reserve for upgrading bloodlines or other purposes, and the other 10 billion...

After glancing at the portal and experiencing firsthand the benefits of having more customers, Bai Ye finally understood why the auxiliary program had said that whether or not to upgrade the portal was entirely up to him, the shop manager.

"Upgrade the portal."

Judging from the performance of the portal at level 1 and level 2, the level 3 portal should offer a significant upgrade.

Chapter 230 An Interesting New Guest (Serious Face)

Just like when upgrading from level one to level two, the size of the portal didn't change after upgrading from level two to level three, but the decorative patterns on it became much more elaborate, making Bai Ye wonder if 9.9 billion of the 10 billion was spent on the design...

Hope is an illusion.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of those pointless thoughts, Bai Ye got up and looked around. Apart from the portal looking better, there didn't seem to be any other changes.

As he pondered whether spending his hundred small goals was a profit or a loss, a light suddenly shone on the portal.

When guests come to the store, it's hard to tell whether they are new or returning customers.

"Huh...it's you." Upon seeing who it was, Bai Ye's expectant expression vanished instantly.

"Why do I feel like you're not very welcoming to me this time, store manager?"

"No, it's just that at this time, I'd rather see some new faces than old acquaintances like you." Shaking his head, Bai Ye reached out and poured a glass of water for the visitor: "Is there anything you need this time... Marshal Sengoku?"

"Hmm... as usual, let's replenish some vitality first. The pirates in the New World have been acting like madmen lately, especially Kaido and Big Mom." Sengoku picked up his cup and drank the water in one gulp. "If we didn't have enough confidence right now, we really wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with these two guys who seem to be immortal. And then there's Shiki, who just escaped from Impel Down not long ago, Whitebeard, whose attitude has been ambiguous, and Shanks... When did the Navy get to the point where it's making enemies on all sides?"

“You are soldiers, they are thieves. Isn’t it the same principle that they’re making trouble for you as you arrest them whenever you see them?” Bai Ye shook his head.

"That's true, but the conflicts between the two sides have never been so openly discussed before..." Sengoku put down his cup and sighed heavily.

That's right, the first guest after this portal was upgraded was a marshal from a world where seafaring was the main mode of travel.

Bai Ye didn't mind chatting with this old acquaintance. And to be honest, although the transaction amount contributed by Zhan Guo each time was only between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, he came here frequently!

I don't know what the situation is like in the pirate world now. Basically, every ten days or so, either Sengoku himself or one of the three admirals will drag a few dying pirates to Byakuya to sell their Devil Fruit abilities.

Thinking about it carefully, before the store suddenly entered a period of rapid development, White Night's Origin Coin income mainly came from Sengoku and Aleister.

"By the way, Mr. Manager, after we went back from here last time, didn't you tell me to take a stroll around the Calm Belt when I had time?" While Saloras was retrieving the unclaimed Life Force Card, Sengoku seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Byakuya, "Anyway, it's just a matter of taking a stroll around the Calm Belt during patrol. With the latest warships, Sea Kings are no longer a problem for the Navy... And a while ago, when it was Momousagi's turn to rest, I actually made a discovery."

"Oh?" Bai Ye admitted that these words had indeed caught his attention.

"Three Devil Fruits and three little girls from Amazon Lily, a country where almost everyone is domineering. Two of them are somewhat mediocre, but the other is definitely a vice admiral. As for how far she can go in the future, it depends on whether she is willing to work hard. However, it shouldn't be a big problem to train her as an admiral candidate, just like Momousagi."

As for the price paid for this, it was probably just two slashes from Vice Admiral Momousagi and the lives of a ship full of slave traders... Does the Navy need a reason to kill slave hunters?

"..." Although I felt that the Warring States period might have omitted some details, judging from this combination, I guess the empress didn't need to brand that mark on her back anymore.

"So should I congratulate you on your navy growing even stronger?"

"Haha~ It's not really about growing stronger. Even Aokiji and the other two underwent a long period of training after joining the Navy before they were allowed to participate in actual combat. That little girl is still a long way off. Let her train with Momousagi for a while for now." Sengoku laughed twice, put away the life force card that Saloras handed him, got up and went to the section selling one-time ability cards to pick out a few life-saving skills, then paid and left.

After seeing Zhan Guo off, Bai Ye rested his chin on his hand and waited for a while, but apart from the two guests he had already met before, he did not see any new figures that he was looking forward to.

"Wait, when did I become so concerned about these things? Anyway, I've already spent the Origin Coins, and there's no option to downgrade the portal. If there are no customers, there are no customers." Amused, Bai Ye tapped his head, looked up at the wall clock, and got up to close the door.

Early to bed and late to rise makes you healthy.jpg

"Where is this place?" Just as the door was about to close, Bai Ye suddenly heard a strange voice from inside the shop: "And who are you?"

"That's a long story." Snapping his fingers, Bai Ye gestured for Saloras to bring over a cup of tea brewed with the Fountain of Life, then invited her to sit on the sofa, and took his own seat.

"My name is Bai Ye, and I'm the manager here. May I ask how you should address me, sir?"

"My name is..." The person picked up the teacup, took a sip, and their eyes lit up. They moved their lips slightly and said their name.

Chapter 231 Eating, Rumia

Lilith, that's the name of the woman with long, flowing black hair.

As for which Lilith it was, she didn't elaborate, and Bai Ye couldn't guess either. After all, although the name Lilith had indeed become an alternative synonym for witch thanks to the tireless "promotion" of a certain pantheon, how many beings in various worlds liked to label themselves as witches?

The only thing Bai Ye knows right now is that Lilith seems to be quite strong, at a level where she might not become a huge star, but she can still bring in a certain amount of profit.

His offer of tea made with the spring water of Shangri-La was well worth it.

After Lilith left, Bai Ye used two fingers to pick up a black seed-like object she had left on the coffee table.

Name: Seed of Darkness

Type: Curious Item

"Attribute: Darkness"

Quality: Perfect

"Note: This is a seed of corruption left behind by a powerful figure from a chaotic/evil faction. Except for a very few exceptionally gifted individuals, no one can resist its temptation."

The description sounds impressive, but the specific effects seemed strangely familiar to Bai Ye. It wasn't until he searched and saw the One Ring displayed as a decorative piece on counter 487 that he realized what it meant...

These two came from the same production line, right?

Shaking his head, just as he was about to put away the Seed of Darkness, a voice that surprised Bai Ye suddenly rang out, interrupting his actions.

"Wait a minute, could you leave me that seed?"

"Yakumo Yukari?" Seeing Yakumo Yukari, who was unusually dressed and appeared at the store entrance, Bai Ye let out a soft exclamation: "I thought you were really going to avoid me forever."

"Hehehe, how could that be... We don't have any reason to avoid you, right?" Yukari Yakumo smiled, feigning generosity.

white night:"……"

If it weren't for the contract between us still in effect, judging from your current performance, even he might have started to believe it. The saying "Oscar owes you an Oscar" perfectly describes the current situation, right?

"Let's put those things aside for now. You asked me to keep this thing..." Bai Ye rubbed his fingers together, holding the Seed of Darkness. He couldn't understand why Yakumo Yukari had stopped him: "This thing shouldn't be of much use to you, right?"
