Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 57

After listening to Grey Wolf's story, and seeing him take out a card, break it into pieces, grab two sheep, take a bite of each, and confirm that it really was mutton, Red Wolf grabbed Grey Wolf and ran towards the warehouse without saying a word.

"Honey, wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't put those two sheep away yet. Luckily, I still have a mutton cutter left by my great-great-great-great-grandfather and a complete guide to 108 ways to cook mutton in my lab. Let's have some meat tonight... Sigh, isn't this where I keep all my inventions? Why did you bring me here?"

"Idiot!" It seemed that Grey Wolf had finally returned with sheep that he could eat. This time, for once, Red Wolf didn't immediately hit him with the frying pan. Instead, she "lightly" punched Grey Wolf: "Tell me about your inventions. Besides making it easier for you to be tricked by those little sheep, what other uses have they had?"

"I……"

"Ok?"

"No……"

"So what are you waiting for?" Red Wolf pulled out a box from somewhere and threw all of Gray Wolf's inventions from the shelves and corners into it. "These things are just collecting dust anyway, so you might as well send them to that sucker you mentioned and trade them for some sheep. Although these things of yours are definitely not as good as the anion orbs left by your great-great-great-great-grandfather, with so many of them, trading them for a few sheep shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Uh...that seems right?"

"Then hurry up and come help! Do you want to work me to death?!"

"Right away, right away, honey, don't rush me." After being persuaded by Red Wolf, the equally carefree Grey Wolf happily began packing his things into the box one by one.

Ten minutes later, as Grey Wolf delivered boxes of things to them, the twin sisters, whom he had previously mistaken for sheep, simultaneously snorted in disgust. Bai Ye didn't show it as obviously, but he was still somewhat puzzled...

After the wolf appeared before him, dragging the head of a rocket, Bai Ye finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey Grey Wolf, what are you trying to do? Are you treating this place like your warehouse?"

"No, that's not it. How could I dare?" Grey Wolf wiped the sweat from his brow. "Didn't you say before, shopkeeper, that anything that belongs to me can be sold here?"

Bai Ye nodded: "I did say that."

“That’s right. These are all my inventions over the years. Anyway, they can’t catch sheep if we keep them, so we might as well bring them here to sell to you, shopkeeper.” Grey Wolf said to Bai Ye with a grin.

"...Then you really are a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"Absolutely! I, King Grey Wolf, am the smartest wolf in the wolf clan since my great-great-great-great-grandfather!" Grey Wolf laughed, hands on his hips, and continued to pull the rocket, trying to drag it out of the portal.

Seeing how exhausted he looked, like a Siberian Husky, Bai Ye thought about the masterpieces of this scientific wolf in the anime... Seriously speaking, if there wasn't a Slow Sheep in the sheep village with equally baffling scientific research skills, plus the anime's premise that wolves can never eat wolves, the final outcome would really be an unknown.

"How about this, we'll deal with all the stuff you just moved over first, and then I'll go with you to your world to sort out things like rockets that are difficult for a wolf to handle on its own... What do you think?"

"What about this rocket?" Grey Wolf tapped the metal object beside him.

"This one……"

To Grey Wolf's astonishment, Bai Ye reached out and pulled the entire rocket out, shrinking it considerably so that it wouldn't break through the roof.

"That's fine, right?"

Grey Wolf nodded blankly.

Chapter 137 The Initial Formation of the Research Team

Originally, Bai Ye's idea was to first take stock of the things that Grey Wolf had already moved into the store, and then go to the Wolf Castle to collect the rest. However, Grey Wolf said that his wife was urging him... oops, I mean Grey Wolf said that he believed in Bai Ye's character.

Unable to resist his henpecked husband, Bai Ye, after storing the rocket, went with him to Wolf Castle to collect the inflatable spaceships, clutch regeneration machines, invincible tanks, beetle fortresses, and more...

What utter nonsense!

"Haha, well... it's mainly because the sheep on Green Green Grassland are too cunning, especially that Happy Sheep, who's always trying to go against me, King Grey Wolf. So, in order to catch them all, I invented these gadgets." Grey Wolf scratched his head awkwardly.

It's true what they say, you don't know until you see it. Even he himself was shocked when he saw it. Without realizing it, he had already invented so many things in order to break through the gates of the sheep village?

And most importantly, even after inventing so many gadgets, he still couldn't get a single bite of mutton...

That wretched Pleasant Goat!

Gritting his teeth in resentment, and looking at Bai Ye who was holding a tank without changing his expression, Grey Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Manager Bai, actually it's not just me. Slow Sheep from Sheep Village is also an inventor. Many times, Happy Sheep and his friends have escaped from my clutches thanks to his inventions. So, would you like to..."

"No thanks, I'm not someone who can't get mutton." Bai Ye shook his head and sealed the tank in his hand into a card. "Besides, Grey Wolf, you don't lack mutton right now, do you?"

"Uh...right, now that I'm here, I don't need to risk going to the sheep village for mutton that I don't even know if I can get any." Gray Wolf suddenly jumped and hopped around on the spot with a smug look on his face.

Bai Ye gave him a disdainful look...

As a wolf, how badly are you doing that you need to use the word "adventure" when you go into the sheepfold and can easily pull out several boxes of magical items?

Ok?

"Grey Wolf, what are your plans for the future?" After putting away the last big book, Bai Ye and Grey Wolf tallied up the items they had collected so far, and after giving Grey Wolf a price that made him grin from ear to ear, Bai Ye asked.

"In the future..." Grey Wolf lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment: "In the future, I might take my wife and children on a trip so that they can live a normal life like wolves should, right? Selling these things should be enough to feed our family mutton for several years."

"And what about after these next few years?"

"A few years later... what does that mean?"

"The mutton you took from me isn't unlimited. Even if I conservatively estimate it'll last you ten or even twenty years, by then your grandson will be about the same age as Little Grey. Do you think your family will suddenly run out of food then..."

Thinking of the scene where Little Grey Wolf saw the sheep in the sheep village not only not trying to catch them, but instead eating grass and chasing butterflies with them, Grey Wolf shook his head violently.

"No, this absolutely cannot be allowed to happen. My descendant, the Great Wolf King, must be the true king of the wolf pack. Right, we still have some time. I can build a time machine and bring my grandson back to the present to teach him some hunting skills..."

white night:"……"

As expected of Grey Wolf, what kind of bizarre thought process could come up with such a crazy move?

Bai Ye quickly grabbed Grey Wolf and, under his puzzled gaze, expressed her thoughts: "Building a time machine is ultimately a bit unscientific, and don't you have any other normal ideas?"

"A normal thought... Is there something wrong with what I'm saying?"

"There are many things wrong with this. Since the mutton you have saved is not enough to ensure your grandson has enough to eat and wear, then just save more mutton for them."

"But I really have nothing left to sell..." Grey Wolf said, pointing with his fingers together as he explained his predicament.

"So...would you be interested in letting your brain, which is blessed by the world, truly unleash its potential?"

"Oh~?"

……

After a tense and heated discussion, Grey Wolf's title of Wolf King was finally preceded by the label "Chief Scientist of the Dimensional Shop".

According to the contract, Bai Ye would relay his requests to Hui Tai Lang when needed, and Hui Tai Lang would make suitable props according to Bai Ye's requests, receiving payment from Bai Ye based on the quality and practicality of the props.

Of course, in his spare time, Grey Wolf can also invent other things according to his own wishes, and White Night will give a suitable price based on the appraisal results.

For Grey Wolf at this stage, the main currency between him and the Dimensional Shop is still sheep.

After reaching an agreement, Grey Wolf said he wanted to first treat Red Wolf and Little Grey Wolf to a whole sheep feast, so White Night took his leave and returned to the Dimensional Shop. As soon as he stepped out of the portal, before White Night could even tell Black Jeanne about the new wolf power resources he had provided to the "Logistics Department," he found himself being hugged by a soft, cuddly figure.

"Saloras?"

"Hehehe..." Ignoring Bai Ye's calls, Queen Saloras hugged Bai Ye and chuckled twice, then licked his face.

……

???

!!!

Pushing the guy who was laughing like an idiot away, Bai Ye wiped his face and looked at the spot where Black Jeanne usually sat.

Sure enough, Orestes, the younger of the twin sisters, was rubbing against Jeanne Alter's leg, while Jeanne Alter was playing on her laptop. However, White Night, who knew her well, could tell that she was in a bad mood.

"What's going on?" Bai Ye pointed at Auress, then at Saloras, who was standing there grinning like an idiot after he pushed her away.

Is this stupid?

"How should I know what's going on!" Black Jeanne raised her head in annoyance. "After you left, I wanted the two of them to take stock of what that wolf brought, but who knew they would accidentally break a bottle of powder, and that's how this happened."

"...What about that bottle of powder?"

There's still some on the ground, be careful not to inhale it.

Upon hearing Black Jeanne's words, White Night quickly cast a shield on herself, then searched the ground and found a layer of dust/powder that shouldn't have appeared in the Dimensional Shop in a corner.

After glancing at the properties of the powders, Bai Ye looked speechlessly at the twin sisters... Of all these bottles and jars, why did you two have to break this one?

Chapter 138 Cationic Photosphere

Name: Foolproof Powder

Type: Drug

"Attribute: None"

Quality: Excellent

"Note: Are you still troubled by your goddess being too shrewd? Are you still losing sleep over your rival being too clever? Are you still exhausted by your boss being too demanding? Then drug them! Just a tiny, insignificant amount will instantly reduce their IQ to zero!"

Let's reset my IQ to zero!

Even Bai Ye was startled when he saw the last few words in the note.

This effect is practically absurd; it should theoretically only exist in comedic worlds like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf." It would lose its effect outside the world it originated from. However, the Dimensional Shop is, after all, an information hub connecting numerous worlds…

The twin sisters, who never expected that such a form of poison existed in the world, were immediately poisoned.

Having figured out what had happened, Bai Ye chuckled irritably. Among the boxes of things that Grey Wolf had brought over, he found the antidote for the "idiot-proof" powder and forced the twin sisters to swallow it.

Then this antidote once again proved what it means to be unreasonable—

Bai Ye estimated that the antidote hadn't even reached the twin sisters' stomachs yet when their eyes had already regained their clarity.

If Bai Ye hadn't witnessed the properties of the "Foolproof Powder" firsthand, he would have suspected that the two sisters were bored with their mundane lives and wanted to find some excitement.

"How does it feel to be punished by a potion made by wolves you despise?"

"……!!!" x2

After returning to normal, both twins looked at the fool's powder in Bai Ye's hand with fear, while also worrying that Bai Ye and Jeanne Alter would hold a grudge because of what had just happened. The difference was that Saloras was worried that Bai Ye would settle scores with her later, while Orestes was worried that Jeanne Alter would settle scores with her later.

"Forget it, let's pretend that what just happened never happened. You two can tidy up these things a bit. They don't need to be tidy. We'll have to recount them when Grey Wolf comes over later anyway."

Bai Ye cast a shield on the two of them, waved his hand, and sat down in front of the computer.

……

Grey Wolf's whole sheep feast took much longer than Bai Ye had anticipated. By the time he emerged from the portal, heavily pregnant, the twin sisters had already carefully unpacked all the large boxes of belongings he had brought earlier. Upon seeing Grey Wolf, the twin sisters looked at him with a complex expression.

Grey Wolf: "..."

Why do I feel like these two sheep are looking at me strangely?

Grey Wolf glanced at the twin sisters with a strange look, but didn't delve into it. He and Bai Ye counted the props that had been roughly categorized and put away, and then left with a large handful of sheep cards.

Judging from the current situation, the sheep in the sheep village will be able to live a peaceful life for a long time to come. I just don't know if there will be any unexpected plot developments, such as Happy Sheep or Boiling Sheep taking the initiative to run to the wolf's castle to "care about" their old friend because they haven't seen Grey Wolf for too long.

After Grey Wolf left, Bai Ye sealed all the props into cards.

Looking at the scene they had witnessed several times in recent days, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the twin sisters.

"very curious?"

"Mmm." (Nods twice)

"Anyway, you'll find out sooner or later. Since that's the case, let's take advantage of the fact that we're not busy right now and have Jeanne Alter explain it to you properly."

"Hmm...hmm?" The twins' faces showed a moment of awkwardness at the same time.

According to the script, shouldn't you be talking to yourself at this point, and then, due to various coincidences, physical contact or friction occurs, leading to a natural progression...?

Why did they just dump them on that woman they've always been at odds with?!

"What are you still standing there for? Come here!" Seeing the twins staring blankly at Byakuya, Black Jeanne, who was already very dissatisfied with their sudden arrival and the disruption of her and Byakuya's peaceful little life, spoke up.

……

With the experienced driver leading the way, and given that they weren't stupid to begin with, the twins, despite being just two new drivers, handled the shop's affairs quite well.

At least apart from large transactions exceeding seven figures, all other smaller transactions have now been taken over by the twin sisters—to save trouble, Bai Ye directly transferred 500,000 Origin Coins to each of their accounts.

Anyway, he owns the twin sisters. The Dimensional Shop's rulings on relationships like "master and servant" are still quite terrifying. Bai Ye thinks that if he ordered the twins to strip naked in front of him now, they wouldn't hesitate for a second.

In fact, he is now considering whether to spend some Origin Coins to expand the space inside the store.

Originally, if it were just him and Jeanne Alter, even with a few customers, the shop wouldn't feel too crowded. But now there are twins... Even excluding customers, as a general store, the living area inside is still limited.

"Boss~ Boss..."

"Grey Wolf?" Bai Ye slowly raised his head, looked in the direction the voice came from, and said in a casual tone.

"Boss, I've found another great item that can be exchanged for two thousand fat sheep... Why do you seem a bit listless, boss?" Gray Wolf asked, looking at White Night with a puzzled expression as he placed a small white ball on the table.
