Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 27

Turning his head, Bai Ye saw the figure walking out of the portal and tilted his head.

Perhaps because the First Emperor had been visiting so frequently these past two days, when Bai Ye saw the light shining on the portal, he subconsciously assumed that the First Emperor had once again flattened that unfortunate god's representative on earth. However, he did not expect that it was Xiao Yifang, who had not appeared for almost half a month.

"Didn't you say you needed some time to adjust and prepare to upgrade your abilities to level 5? What brings you here today?"

"A mere level 5 is nothing to mention."

With his chest puffed out, he uttered words that were completely inconsistent with his physical demeanor, looking at Bai Ye with smug satisfaction.

"You don't actually think I'd praise you for something so trivial, do you?"

"...Hmph!" The face of the person whose little scheme had been exposed immediately fell.

white night:"……"

So just say it if you want to praise someone. You were such an honest person before, how did you become so dishonest like Jeanne Alter?

"But if I remember correctly, you were already able to take on an army on your own when you were still level 4. Now that you've reached level 5, besides your chairman and that angel who's always thinking about something, you should be the strongest fighter in Academy City?"

"That's~"

Xiao Yifang readily accepted Bai Ye's unusual praise, and then revealed his purpose.

“At the current pace, I should be able to raise my computing power to the peak of level 5 in six months at most. At that time, apart from regular physical examinations at the research institute, I will be almost completely free. However, today the chairman sent me a message…” Yifang’s expression became a little conflicted. “The chairman asked me to ask you if you accept superpowers here.”

"...Why you? Wouldn't it be more convenient for Aiwas to do business? Or has your chairman already found out about my agreement with Aiwas?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, he mentioned this matter. I think maybe the chairman discovered something from some clues." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Well... just tell him that I'll accept anything he can produce, and he doesn't need to worry about it being returned."

One ton of rice is worth one Origin Coin. If Aleister is so capable, why doesn't he turn Academy City into an agricultural city?

Chapter 064 Arrival in Academy City

The negotiations with Aleister went smoothly.

Through Xiao Yifang, who was enjoying acting as a mouthpiece, Bai Ye and Aleister quickly reached an agreement.

Half an hour later, Aleister will gather a small group of children who may not have high future potential but whose abilities are valuable, and send Byakuya to that world to strip them of their abilities.

In Aleister's words, God gave these people a gun, but they insisted on turning it into a troublemaker...

Seeing that Xiao Yifang's expression was already not very pleasant just from conveying this complaint, Bai Ye thought for a moment and decided not to tell her the deeper meaning of the sentence.

……

Half an hour later.

In an apartment in the 7th District of Academy City, two figures suddenly appeared in the bedroom.

Bed, desk, coffee table, sofa, bathroom...

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Seeing Bai Ye clicking his tongue twice every time he saw something, Yi Fang was unusually angry with him.

Look if you want, but what does "tsk" mean?

"Hmm... I just didn't expect your residence to be so monotonous. It's both unexpected and reasonable."

"I shouldn't have come into your shop from my own room." Yifang pouted, opened the door and walked out of the room. "Please close the door behind you."

"Anyway, there's nothing worth stealing from your room."

Even though that's what he said, when Bai Ye followed Yifang out of the room, he still closed the door behind him.

As Bai Ye climbed the stairs to the first floor and looked at the technologically advanced metropolis before her, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart... She had thought that in the Human Village, where the technology tree was locked down by Yakumo Yukari, she would never see the bustling scene of cars coming and going in her entire life.

"So... how do I get to your chairman?"

"Although the chairman's 'residence' is also in the Seventh School District, the Seventh School District is quite large, so the fastest way is still to take a taxi. If that doesn't work, the subway is also an option, but you'll have to transfer..."

Before one of them could finish speaking, several men dressed in black suits and sunglasses walked out from the street, seemingly cosplaying as someone.

"Gentlemen, we are here waiting for you on the orders of the chairman. Please follow us." The leading man bowed respectfully to Bai Ye at a 90-degree angle.

Accelerator: "..."

Hey you, wearing sunglasses, you've narrowed your path, you know that?

"Humph."

Seeing that Bai Ye had already gotten into the car driven by the men in sunglasses, Yi Fang muttered something under his breath and jogged to catch up.

As for doubting whether these guys have any problems...

Putting aside who in Academy City would dare to risk their life by using the chairman's name, the fact that they were able to wait for him downstairs already speaks volumes.

So far, only Aleister, Aiwass, and Accelerator know about the Dimensional Shop in the entire Academy City.

Needless to say, Aleister and Evans, though they hadn't discussed it, both tacitly pretended the incident never happened. As for the workers in District Two who were still producing weapons...

Who would sell weapons to workers on an engineering production line and tell them where their products are being sold?

It's obvious that the man in sunglasses driving the car was temporarily requisitioned by Aleister. He was driving a perfectly good luxury car, I don't know what brand it was, like dodging shells on a battlefield in Academy City.

It's possible that he's been drinking too much tea brewed with the Fountain of Life lately, which has had a synergistic effect with the Life Essence given to him by Kazami Yuuka, resulting in a slight improvement in his physical condition. Otherwise, Bai Ye thinks he might have already vomited it up.

As Bai Ye opened the car door and got out, looking at the strangely shaped building in front of him, he silently made up his mind.

After I get back this time, I must hurry up and visit Luo Hao's world. At least I need to quickly get rid of this "ordinary person" label on my head.

I just don't know how difficult it would be to actually carry out the god-slaying operation...

Is it just ahead?

"Hmm..." One side nodded.

Just then, the men in sunglasses around them seemed to receive some kind of order, and they all got into their cars and left, leaving Bai Ye and Yi Fang behind.

Once there was no one left in sight, a holy light appeared before Bai Ye's eyes...

No, I misspoke. It was an angel who appeared.

"Welcome! How have you felt since arriving in our world?"

“Feelings…” Recalling how Aiwass appeared, Bai Ye raised an eyebrow: “With your abilities, you shouldn’t have had any problem bringing me here directly from Yifang’s apartment, right?”

"Isn't this to let you experience the scenery of Academy City? It's completely different from your world~" Aiwass chuckled and changed the subject. With a wave of his hand, Bai Ye found himself in a closed space that gave people an infinitely oppressive feeling.

He looked around, and before he could speak, the person hanging upside down in the red liquid seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask and said, "There are some things that are not suitable for him to know right now, so let him wait outside for a while. Our transaction should be quick."

“...Okay.” Bai Ye nodded.

Chapter 065 Two Enhanced Stages of [Absolute Constant Speed]

"So, what about those guys you mentioned who don't respect themselves and turn perfectly good spears into troublemakers?" Bai Ye exhaled and rubbed his hands together expectantly.

Although this trip was mainly due to his long stay in Gensokyo, which made him restless, Byakuya still had some confidence in Aleister's "goods".

He's a big shot who's got a scientific side and a knack for testing magic, so he shouldn't be stingy with his money, right?

Even if it was Aiwas who actually took action...

As soon as Aiwas snapped his fingers, a dozen or so young men and women, who all looked to be in their twenties or thirties, appeared on the open ground next to him.

"These?"

“These are all ability users whose abilities were assessed quite well when they were first developed, but who haven’t made much progress since then,” Aleister explained calmly. “Before they go through the standard development process, even I can’t be sure how far an ability user can grow. But these have been developed for over ten years and are still only level 3, 2, or even 1… I think it’s better to sell them.”

Anyway, with millions of espers in Academy City, losing these few useless trash won't have a significant impact on the overall AIM diffusion field—this was a decision the Chairman made after careful consideration for a full four seconds when he needed Origin Points one day.

As for the opinions of these individuals with these abilities...

Learn about this alternative form of dictatorship.

“OK, since you’ve said so.” Bai Ye used his access to the Dimensional Shop to compile a contract, the contents of which were not much different from the Momo-Momo Fruit that Sengoku sold to Bondi Wald.

After Aleister confirmed that everything was fine, Bai Ye took the contract and approached a seemingly delinquent young man.

"Come on, your boss made the decision, sign it now?"

The young man blankly extended one hand and pressed his fingerprint on the contract. Throughout the entire process, let alone Bai Ye, Bai Ye estimated that this guy didn't even glance at the contract.

“I used some unnecessary methods beforehand to ensure our deal could proceed more smoothly,” Aleister said.

white night:"……"

In the past, Sengoku had already dealt with all the pirates imprisoned by the Marine Headquarters in a similar way, and now you're doing the same thing.

I feel that if you continue like this, the very nature of your little shop will change.

After mentally complaining, Bai Ye flipped the newly formed card over to check the details of its ability.

Name: Absolute Constant Velocity

Type: Ability

"Attribute: None"

Quality: Excellent

"Note: A member of the vector-based ability family, any object thrown by an ability user will continue to move forward regardless of any obstacles unless it is destroyed or the ability's effect is removed... Wake up, stop dreaming about traversing the Earth!"

"Um……"

"Not bad, huh?" Aleister asked, still hanging upside down.

“If you only look at the description on paper, it’s quite good.” Bai Ye nodded, agreeing with Aleister’s statement.

Aiwas, standing next to him, added with a smile, "Unfortunately, its owner can only utilize it to level 3, which is not up to par."

"..." x3

It's fortunate that the young man was under Aleister's control; otherwise, hearing the three of them (?) mocking his proud ability would have made him feel ashamed to death.

"Confirm sale?"

"Confirmed for sale."

After a brief exchange, ownership of this ability was completely transferred to Bai Ye, and Aleister's account also gained an additional 100,000 units of Origin Coins.

Bai Ye stared at the words on the back of the card several times, and suddenly remembered the first item another human trafficker had given him—the Momo Fruit.

Is it fate? The first "person" that the two human traffickers sold to them had such a high compatibility.

"System, if the Origin Coin is truly omnipotent, then enhancing this 'Absolute Constant Velocity' item I have shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"The first stage of enhancement requires 100 million Origin Coins. Confirm?"

"Let's strengthen it." Compared to directly converting "Absolute Constant Speed" into 100 million Origin Coins, Bai Ye, who was currently in a state of great wealth, decided to go all out after glancing at the balance on his store manager page.

"Enhancement successful."

Upon hearing the system's words, Bai Ye nodded and checked the Dimensional Shop's evaluation of this ability...

Aside from the quality going from excellent to perfect, there's absolutely no change?!

"You were referring to the first stage of enhancement, right? What about the second stage?"

"Upgrading 'Absolute Constant Speed' to the second stage requires 1000 million Origin Coins. Confirm?"

"Ten million, confirmed!"

Bai Ye felt that his current mentality was like that of a gambler. After betting the first time and not seeing any splash, he had even greater expectations for what would happen next.

"Reinforcement completed."

Name: Absolute Constant Velocity

Type: Ability

"Attribute: None"

"Quality: Epic"

"Note: A member of the vector-based ability family, any object thrown by an ability user will continue to move forward regardless of any obstacles unless it is destroyed or the ability's effect is removed... Wake up, dreams of traveling through the Earth are still not for you!"

The third stage of enhancement requires 100 million, so let's forget about that.

He broke the two cards containing the "Absolute Constant Speed" and "Momo Fruit Ability" into pieces, and the two tiny specks of light merged into Bai Ye's body.
