"Yes, it's really rude of a beautiful woman who's old enough to be my great-grandmother to lay a hand on an old lady like you!" Bai Ye looked at the idler who was trying to act young and cute with dead fish eyes.
Yukari Yakumo: "..."
Hmm, was it just my imagination? I think I just heard a suppressed laugh coming from inside the gap?
It seems that when I get back today, Lan will have to work overtime to knit me a fox fur scarf again. Having such a thoughtful shikigami makes me feel like my life as a demon is full of hope (smile).
"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Remilia's deep resentment towards me is also related to you, isn't it? I'm curious about what you did to her." Turning away from Yukari Yakumo's lingering gaze, Byakuya asked curiously.
"Heh heh, what could an old woman like me, old enough to be your great-great-grandmother, possibly do to a young girl in her prime?" Yakumo Yukari, seemingly ready to let loose, narrowed her eyes, a smirk playing on her lips. "I simply invited that little bat's army of youkai to admire the flowers after Yuuka-chan restored the 387 Sunflower Field. By the way, Yuuka-chan gave them a very warm welcome too~"
"Welcome to the fertilizer delivery service, right?" Before Yukari Yakumo could continue, Byakuya already guessed the ending.
It's highly likely that after Kazami Yuuka dealt with those youkai who came to her door, she also happened to visit the Scarlet Devil Mansion and have a good chat with Remilia, which is why that little girl harbors such a strong resentment towards her.
"So, Mr. Manager, you know so much about a single girl, aren't you worried that your partner will get jealous?" Yakumo Yukari tacitly agreed with Byakuya's statement: "I always feel like a fire is about to erupt from the soles of your feet at any moment."
Bai Ye turned around and glanced at Hei Zhen.
Probably not?
"It's getting late, so I won't waste any more time with you. I still need to clean up the mess from this vampire incident when I get back. I haven't slept much lately." Stretching, Yukari Yakumo stepped out of the shop and into the gap. Just as the gap was about to close, she suddenly turned back and waved to Byakuya: "There's something I forgot to say before, so I'll make it up to you now. I hope you don't mind, shopkeeper~"
Welcome to Gensokyo!
Chapter 093 Shocking! With no one around, he actually did this to Kazami Yuuka!
Welcome to Gensokyo... So where have I been for the past few months, Gensokyo?
Tsk!
"Master, did you have a good time in that world?"
"Quick..." Just as Byakuya was about to tell Jeanne Alter about her supposedly exaggerated power as a god-slayer in that world, she suddenly froze... Why does this sound like a death trap?
"If any guests come, please greet them for me. I need to tidy up some things." After instructing Black Jeanne, Byakuya lay down on his own shopkeeper's lounge chair and then contacted the so-called dimensional shop auxiliary program.
"System, following the same approach you used to directly enhance 'Absolute Constant Speed,' can my current abilities also be enhanced in the same way?"
The system gave a rather flamboyant checkmark.
"OK, give me a list of prices."
"Eternal Sun God": Upgrading to the first level requires 1 million Origin Coins. After upgrading, the Sun Authority will be greatly increased, and it will have some priority when encountering other similar authorities.
"All-Seeing Above the Sky": Upgrading to level 1 requires 100 million Origin Coins. After upgrading, the viewing distance increases, the passive dynamic vision increases, and your gaze will be able to penetrate some loose obstructions.
"Titan Body": Upgrading to the first level requires 1 million Origin Coins. After upgrading, the awakening level of the Golden Bloodline will increase.
"Indestructible Body": Upgrading to the first level requires 1 million Origin Coins. After upgrading, the defense is greatly increased.
"The Eternal Labyrinth": Upgrading to the first level requires 1 million Origin Coins. After upgrading, the labyrinth's area expands, its complexity increases, and its ability to weaken enemy attack and defense is greatly enhanced.
Upon seeing the amount of Origin Coins required to enhance his powers, Bai Ye's brow twitched, and he glanced at another panel that he usually didn't pay much attention to—
Store Manager: Bai Ye (The Only One)
Store Manager Authority: Highest Level
Shop Level: 1
Holding 71,354,852 units of the original currency.
In summary, the prospects for power enhancement are very promising, and it can be predicted that the improvement after enhancement will definitely be significant. However... he cannot enhance any of them at present.
A very realistic conclusion, so realistic that Bai Ye wanted to flip the counter in front of him.
"Besides enhancing these, are there any other uses for Origin Coins?"
Forcing himself to break free from the frustration of "perfect plan, insufficient funds," Bai Ye tried to find something else to distract himself.
"The essence of Origin Coin is the origin of the world. As long as you can afford the cost, there is nothing you can't do by using Origin Coin. Shopkeeper, you can do whatever you want."
Huh?
"Make a life-size inflatable doll of Yuuka Kazami?"
Yuuka Kazami (Inflatable Doll Version): Crafting requires 10 Origin Coins.
Yuuka Kazami (Normal Version): Crafting requires 1 Origin Coins. Additional Origin Coins can be used to reset her personality and memories.
Yuuka Kazami (Flower Fairy Version): Crafting requires 10 Origin Coins. Additional Origin Coins can be used to reset her personality and memories.
Kazami Yuuka (Full Authentic Version): Insufficient data, unable to manufacture.
white night:"……"
Stealing a glance at Black Jeanne, who was nestled on the sofa watching TV while hugging a cushion, Byakuya immediately closed the page without a word. If anyone else saw these words, he and Kazami Yuuka would probably be locked in a life-or-death struggle... Wait, it seems like no one else can see this page?
Emmmmmm……
Enough of the small talk, let's get back to the main point. Although the actual operation is a bit hard to describe, it at least proves that, under certain preconditions, having enough Origin Coins really does allow you to do whatever you want.
In that case...
After searching through his collection of cards for a few minutes, Bai Ye pulled out a card he had almost forgotten about.
Name: Qi-Guiding Technique
"..."
Yes, it's that brat Nezha who came once and then completely disappeared. I don't know if he forgot about this place or lost the card.
If Bai Ye knew he would come here later, regardless of whether his attitude was good or bad, at least he would have something to look forward to. But he didn't even come...
The plan to develop the Immortal Realm is indefinitely stalled.jpg
"Although the notes say that someone with my talent would need a thousand years to cultivate into an immortal, since Origin Points are so useful, I should be able to skip this process, right?"
"Immortal Body": The most common class in the world of a certain cultivator. In front of mortals, they are high and mighty celestial beings, but in front of equal beings... Strengthening requires 3,652,400 Origin Coins.
That translates to ten Origin Coins per day?
Seeing that the price was still within his acceptable range, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and directly chose to enhance his immortal body.
A massive surge of energy entered Bai Ye's body, flowing slowly through him and simultaneously transforming his physique.
A strange, inexplicable pleasure suddenly welled up in Bai Ye's heart...
"Consuming 100 million Origin Coins and integrating all the characteristics of the 'Indestructible Body' into the 'Immortal Body,' confirm?"
"Consuming 1000 million Origin Coins will extract the golden bloodline from the 'Titan Body' and integrate it into the 'Immortal Body.' Confirm?"
Two notifications flashed before his eyes, and Bai Ye, who was enjoying himself immensely, clicked "confirm" without thinking. Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something impulsive...
"Enhancement complete! Congratulations, store manager, your strength has been greatly improved!"
Chapter 094 The Human Traffickers Return
Has their strength increased significantly?
Bai Ye assessed his own condition and nodded in agreement; it seemed to be true.
After his first god-slaying, he gained immense magical power within him—power that allowed him to unleash his abilities.
The subsequent god-slaying attempts, while not as dramatic as the first one where he went from nothing to max level, still resulted in significant improvements.
After killing the Minotaur, the magical power contained within his body had more than doubled from its initial level.
And now, the amount of curse power in his body is... 0.
Serious disclaimer: This is absolutely not a case of deleting an account and starting over!
The original curse power had been completely transformed into a balanced and peaceful energy after he "became an immortal." If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the energy within an immortal's body. In Bai Ye's own perception, this energy was a significant improvement in both "quality" and "quantity" compared to the curse power.
Moreover, this energy seems to be more suitable for releasing power than spell power.
Because he unknowingly sabotaged himself halfway through his ascension to immortality, when Bai Ye left the world of Godslayer, only three of his five powers remained: "Eternal Sun God," "All-Seeing One Above the Sky," and "Eternal Labyrinth." Meanwhile, "Titan Body" and "Indestructible Body" seemed to have been directly integrated into his current body.
He grabbed a small knife from the table and slashed his hand hard...
My hand is fine, but the blade of the knife is completely bent.
"Uh." After a moment of hesitation, Bai Ye looked up at Hei Zhen: "Little Zhenzhen, can I borrow your sword for a moment?"
"What do you want to do?" Black Jeanne looked at White Night warily.
"...It's just a small experiment, it won't do anything to it." Looking at Black Jeanne who was staring at him like she was guarding against fire, theft, or White Night, White Night's lips twitched.
He genuinely missed the old Jeanne Alter who would slam her Noble Phantasm on his desk at the slightest disagreement. This new one was much closer, but why was she more wary of him the closer they became?
"How about this, you can keep it yourself, I won't handle it, you can rest assured then, right?"
"Alright." After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Jeanne Alter actually intended to prevent Byakuya from handling the matter. After summoning her Noble Phantasm, she grabbed the scabbard and came to Byakuya: "Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Try making a small cut on my arm first... Remember not to use too much force."
"?"
"It means drawing the sword out of its sheath, then placing the blade against my arm and slowly pulling it forward or backward."
"Master, are you alright?" Alter pursed her lips, hung her sword back on her waist, and then leaned in with concern, placing a hand on Byakuya's forehead: "I remember there's a rabbit demon selling medicine in the Human Village, do you want me to go buy some for you?"
"...So I just wanted to test my current defense. What kind of nonsense are you imagining?" After staring at Black Jeanne's eyes for a few minutes, Byakuya jumped up and flicked her on the head: "And what kind of rabbit monster would sell medicine to cure idiocy?"
"Brain... I didn't say those two words." Black Jeanne covered her head and took two steps back.
"Shut up, give me the sword!"
"..."
Although the way she looked at Bai Ye was still a bit off, at least the girl didn't disobey Bai Ye's will, and drew her sword from its sheath and placed it on the table.
Picking up the longsword, which was so ornate it could be considered a work of art, Bai Ye clicked his tongue in admiration and then slashed his arm.
brush--
A white mark appeared on Bai Ye's arm.
"Your sword isn't sharpened?" Bai Ye looked up at Hei Zhen.
"Impossible!" the little girl exclaimed angrily. "Although I haven't participated in any real battles since you summoned me, how could I, as a Heroic Spirit, wear an unsharpened weapon? Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!"
Bai Ye glanced at the arm, which was now so bare that even the white marks were no longer visible... Although you spoke with great force, it really wasn't very convincing.
"Never mind, I can try it again when I have time later." After returning the sword to Black Jeanne, Bai Ye comfortably lay back down on the chair... At least for now, it is certain that after becoming an immortal, his body seems to have always been in the state of having activated the "Indestructible Body". This power, which he obtained from the disobedient Sun Wukong, has become a passive state in Bai Ye, similar to that in Sun Wukong himself.
Similarly, the original "Titan body" was in a similar state.
To paraphrase a line from the hot-blooded heroes next door, he feels like every punch he throws can tear the sky apart, every kick can crack the earth, and when he gets serious, his movement speed can exceed the speed of light... well, light speed is just a dream, sonic speed is alright.
Thinking back to when he went to the world of Godkiller, he realized that although he had gained two superpowers in Academy City, he was still essentially just an ordinary person. Now, Bai is truly incredibly arrogant…
"Master!!!" Jeanne Alter's helpless cry woke Byakuya from her own world.
Opening his eyes and seeing the four people already in the store, Bai Ye let out a soft "hmm".
"General Xian Shi, what brings you here today?" As he spoke, Bai Ye's gaze fell on the three people who had come with him: "These three are the goods you plan to sell this time?"
"This time?" The man in the middle pushed up his sunglasses.
"For sale?" The man on the left took off his baseball cap.
"Goods?" The man on the right twitched at the corner of his mouth.
The three of them looked at the Sengoku period standing in front of them.
Sensing three gazes fixed on his back, Sengoku quickly shook his head: "They're not, Manager Shiro, don't talk nonsense!"
"These three are possible."
"These three are definitely not!"
"What a pity, their quality seems much better than the ones you brought before." Looking reluctantly at the three humanoid Logia-type Devil Fruits in front of him, Bai Ye stroked his chin: "So... are these three doing the same business as you?"
“Yes, for Devil Fruit users, not being able to go to sea is indeed a big problem.” Sengoku nodded. “I just happened to have sold some goods recently, and I still have some Origin Coins left. Thank you, shopkeeper.”
