......"
One hundred million plus thirty million—this was actually the Origin Coins that Bai Ye initially planned to keep for renovating the store's layout, but he never expected to end up with so much left over.
At this point, next to "Level 1" in "Shop Level", you can clearly see a green up arrow, which is the manual button to upgrade the shop level.
After weighing the pros and cons of upgrading the shop, or more accurately, the portal, Bai Ye hesitated for a while before clicking the button.
"Confirm upgrade of store level?"
"Confirmed." Bai Ye gave a clear answer in his mind.
"Permissions confirmed... You have the highest level of authority... Upgrading the store level... 1 million Origin Coins deducted... Optimizing the portal... Optimization successful... Upgrade complete."
After a series of intermittent sounds, Bai Ye finally saw that his shopkeeper panel had been upgraded in areas other than Origin Coins.
Store Manager: Bai Ye
Store Manager Authority: Top Level
Shop Level: 2
Holding: 34,156,412 Origin Coins
......"
Compared to level 1, a level 2 portal is like going from an M24 to an AWM... Okay, I admit I'm just talking nonsense, but just looking at the appearance, the portal does look much better than level 1.
After the twin sisters had sorted and arranged the goods, Bai Ye checked them over and, to make sure there were no major bugs, opened the door.
Almost the instant he opened the door, several disheveled figures emerged from the portal, supporting each other.
"You three... got beaten up by the Supreme Imperial Arms again?" After seeing the situation of the three, Bai Ye's lips twitched.
“This time it’s not. After the Devil Fruit power awakened, that thing was no match for us.” Aokiji looked at his arm, which was frozen stiff, with annoyance. “This time it’s because of another guy.”
“Frozen…it can’t be Esdeath, right?” After glancing at the condition of the three, including Aokiji, the user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, who looked like an ordinary person who had just been pulled out of a freezer, Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and a ray of sunlight shone on the three of them.
Finally feeling a touch of warmth, Akainu let out a long sigh of relief... For him, a Magma-Magma Fruit user, this was truly a painful memory.
"That bastard...!" Akainu gritted his teeth in hatred as he thought of the culprit who had caused the three of them to end up like this.
Bai Ye looked at Qingzhi.
With a wry smile, Aokiji recounted the experiences of the three of them as they traveled to Esdeath's world and helped her rise from general to queen.
The three admirals, along with Esdeath herself, were all at the top of the power pyramid in that world. So even though the ministers and the young emperor had General Budo as their loyal follower, they were still no match for the four of them. The same was true after they activated their Supreme Imperial Arms.
After avenging themselves in 5.7, the three generals, in high spirits, bid farewell to Esdeath, who was integrating various forces in the capital, and prepared to travel around the continent for a while longer.
The three of them then headed north and unknowingly reached the edge of the continent, where they saw a vast sea of unknown width. There, they also encountered the culprit who had caused their predicament.
“That dangerous species…” Thinking of the guy who froze the three of them into sticks with a single breath of cold air, a solemn look appeared in Aokiji’s eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, that’s the source of Esdeath’s Imperial Arm, right? I really don’t know how the king who founded the empire a thousand years ago obtained its blood.”
"Why think so much? We're from a different world anyway." Shaking his head, Bai Ye contacted the Warring States.
Chapter 144 Kaguya: I Have a Bold Idea
This time, he must have been tied up with something, because it took more than ten minutes for Sengoku to emerge from the portal.
Seeing that although the three generals were not in good spirits this time, at least they were not on the verge of death like last time, Sengoku finally felt relieved.
"It seems your revenge against that Supreme Imperial Arm went quite smoothly this time. Now that you're back with me, you should be able to obediently serve as your generals, right?"
"Hehe..." x3
A look of disappointment appeared on the faces of the three generals simultaneously.
Yes, the revenge for the Supreme Imperial Arm has been taken, but is the problem with the Supreme Imperial Arm now? The key issue now is a monster that looks even more like a monster than Whitebeard!
I shouldn't have impulsively followed Esdeath to experience the darkness back then. Now look what's happened, I'm stuck in a pit and can't get out...
Having confirmed that everything was alright, Sengoku was about to send the three generals, who were probably the most troublesome generals in history, back when Byakuya suddenly stopped him, pulled him aside, and began to whisper to him.
……
After Sengoku left with his three generals with a mysterious expression, the twin sisters curiously approached.
"Boss, judging from that human's expression just now, it seems like you said something to him that he found hard to accept?"
"What do you mean 'unacceptable to him'? This guy is clearly just putting on airs. He's seen things far more unacceptable than this, and he's even done them himself." Bai Ye clicked his tongue. "In your Burning Legion, he'd be practically Kil'jaeden or Archimonde leading a bunch of demons to rebel against Sargeras' absolute dominance... What's with those expressions on your faces?"
"Hehe..." The twins pretended to be stupid together.
Bai Ye, who was in a strangely cheerful mood recently, didn't pay much attention to the two's behavior, just taking it as their usual silly antics. Seeing that the three generals and Sengoku had left and there were no new customers, he simply went to sit down behind the counter, which had been renovated to be much more comfortable than before, and turned on the computer to log into the game.
As soon as he logged on, he saw a new message pop up in the message bar.
"Call me Your Highness, Princess": (The person in question)
"White Night": Yes.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Clearly, because the past few days had been so fantastical, Bai had completely forgotten that before leaving, Jeanne Alter had said she would help him register and clear his stamina.
Then the guy on the other side started.
"Call me Your Highness": So what's wrong with you?
"Call me Your Highness": You disappeared without even saying goodbye, making me chat with the guy who logged into your account for ages before I realized what was going on, and I almost got tricked into revealing information.
"Call me Your Highness": That's too much!
"White Night": Uh...
"Call me Your Highness, Princess": Hmm?
"White Night": I said I was just going out to visit someone, but I ended up in the underworld without realizing it... Do you believe me?
"Call me Princess": The Underworld?
Eientei, the girl rubbed her eyes and yawned... It seems that Eirin did mention a place called the Underworld before, didn't she?
"White Night": Yes, it's the underworld, supposedly the place where people or other creatures go after they die. I even met a death god with a face full of shame... Although her clothes weren't very obvious, they still couldn't escape my sharp eyes.
Kaguya's lips twitched wildly as she sat in front of the computer.
"Call me Your Highness": Are you sure it's okay to say this to a girl like me?
"White Night": Wake up, you're a guy. Isn't your template supposed to be someone picking their toes while looking at the computer screen and chuckling to themselves?
Kaguya suddenly froze, looking down at herself... This guy actually got everything right except for her gender! (╯‵□)╯︵┻━┻
"White Night": Do you think it's possible for a game like ours to have female characters, which are practically extinct? It was only a few days ago that I dragged Jeanne Alter into the game, which brought a glimmer of hope to this game.
"Call me Your Highness": Hehe.
Your friend "Call Me Princess" has gone offline.
white night:"……"
What the heck? He ran away right after I exposed the truth?
Shaking his head, he casually cleared the stamina in his own account and Jeanne Alter's account. Seeing that the avatar in his friends list was still not lit up, Bai Ye sent him a message and then logged off.
Hmm... It's definitely not because I messed up my friend's game and felt a little embarrassed, it's just because we had guests coming over... Yes, that's right, that's it!
Watching the new customer, dressed in a long silk robe, wandering back and forth between the shelves under the guidance of the twin sisters, Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction... That's right. If he had to personally deal with every kind of customer, wouldn't he, a dignified second-level store manager, lose face?
Why is it that when I think about it this way, I suddenly have the urge to keep upgrading my shop level?
……
Eientei, angered by Byakuya's divine judgment, logged off. Kaguya angrily changed into an outdoor outfit and prepared to go find Mokou to cause trouble.
After Bai Ye reappeared online, she sensed an unusual atmosphere between the lines. Feeling uneasy, the princess decided to go and find out what was going on from her best friend/nemesis who had lived in the human world for many years.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a certain bunny-eared girl with a lewd air pacing anxiously at the door.
"Reisen, what are you doing?"
"Your Highness, I just received a message telling me to return to the team..." The bunny-eared girl handed a communicator to Kaguya with a bitter face.
"Who told you to rejoin the team...?"
"The City of the Moon..."
"..." x2
"Go find your master, you idiot! Do you think you can get away with this by just wandering around here?" After realizing what was happening, Kaguya glared at Reisen and pulled her toward Eirin Yagokoro's laboratory.
A few minutes later, after Reisen recounted the events in detail, Eirin Yagokoro frowned.
"A message from the Lunar Capital... It seems that the Lunar Capital's technology has advanced quite rapidly in the years I've been away..."
"Eirin, I have a bold idea. If Gensokyo were to fight the Lunar Capital right now, who do you think would have a better chance of winning?" Unlike Eirin and Reisen, Kaguya's eyes were now filled with nothing but the word "stirring up trouble."
"...Stop messing around. If we really do that, we'll be in a lot of debt, and Yukari Yakumo won't let you be so willful. Let me see if there's a way to block the information exchange between the inside and outside sides, or maybe I should ask Yukari Yakumo to strengthen the Great Barrier."
"Oh." Her suggestion was rejected, and the princess pouted, feeling listless.
……
Chapter 145 The Silver-Haired Nobleman – Sesshomaru
Not to mention what kind of changes will occur on Eientei's side because of the communication received by the rabbit-eared girl.
At the dimensional shop, despite having two reasonably competent salespeople, Bai Ye realized he still hadn't been able to slack off much, like the one in front of him—
"You stinking cat, destined to never catch a mouse in your entire life, why aren't you letting go of this great king? If you don't let go, believe me, this great king will turn you into a cat meat hot pot right now!"
"Shut up! You're just a worthless coward who always manages to let the sheep escape after catching them. You call yourself the wolf king, but you can only eat vegetables!"
"..." x2
After exposing each other's wounds, the wolf and the cat started fighting. Fortunately, Bai Ye noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right and put a shield on all the fragile or dangerous items in the store.
"What's wrong with those two...?" Because she was exhausted from last night, she didn't get up until the afternoon and looked at the two wrestling...wolf and cat in confusion.
"It's probably because they initially discovered that their experiences were extremely similar. After opening their hearts to each other, they found that one of them already had a wife and children and could eat delicious food every day, while the other could only be teased by mice, bullied by dogs, and disliked by his owner. This caused a huge gap in their hearts, and eventually, love turned into hatred?" Taking a deep breath, Bai Ye told him in one breath how he had seen Grey Wolf and Tom Cat go from mutual respect to wanting to kill each other.
"Uh..." Black Jeanne blinked, picked up her computer, and sat down next to White Night.
As for Grey Wolf and Tom, who were racking their brains trying to defeat each other physically and mentally... since Bai Ye didn't say anything, she would just treat it as an afternoon entertainment.
It must be admitted that, although both Grey Wolf and Tom are quite disappointing in their attempts to catch sheep or mice, as a children's comic series that focuses on humor and has developed into a long-running comedy, one of their talents is that they have bodies that can never die.
Whether they are burned to ashes, struck on the head with a force capable of shattering rocks, or their bodies are stretched into various bizarre shapes, they can still charge towards each other with renewed vigor in the next instant.
Ji'er, the White Night Thief, was filled with envy at this near-immortal, bug-level body.
The wolf and the cat fought and rolled all the way, and soon they reached the edge of the portal.
Just then, the portal lit up, and a figure stepped out of it. At the same time, Grey Wolf and Talking Tom attacked each other from the left and right sides of the portal. Anyone who didn't know the situation would definitely think that they had planned to attack the person coming out of the portal.
swish—swish—
Almost simultaneously, two claw marks appeared on the face of the elegantly dressed, silver-haired nobleman who walked out of the door.
"..." x2
Grey Wolf and Talking Tom both stopped what they were doing and stood frozen in place.
Although they usually act very casually, both Grey Wolf and Talking Tom know that once guests are involved, especially in their current situation, Bai Ye can become very, very scary... even if their fight just now was with Bai Ye's tacit approval.
As expected, Bai Ye did not "disappoint" them.
Bang!Bang!
After knocking down the two culprits with a single punch, Bai Ye exhaled, grabbed the fur behind their heads, and lifted the wolf and cat up. Then, he looked apologetically at the noble young man whose facial muscles were twitching.
"Hey, how about you beat them up now to vent your anger? I can pretend I didn't see anything, as long as you don't kill them." Bai Ye suggested, holding Grey Wolf and Tom and approaching the noble young man.
"...No thanks!" Although he really wanted to cut down the two strange animals that had disfigured him, he was cautious because he had suddenly appeared in this unfamiliar place instead of cultivating in the valley.
"What a magnanimous guest! Well then... please have a seat?" Bai Ye casually stacked Grey Wolf and Tom on an empty sofa and pointed to the sofa not far from the young master.
