Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The others shared similar thoughts, all suspecting that Night King Fengxian had continued to stay in Yoshiwara Peach Blossom Village for some reason.

What could make Night King Fengxian abandon her dignity must be a treasure, but...

The Night King's power was quite high during the spring rain.

After all, he was the founder of the 7th Division of Spring Rain, the King of the Night Rabbit, a man who left behind a host of legends in the interstellar world.

"We need to send someone to investigate," Fan Jie said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Hey hey hey! Leave it to me!" Kamui raised his hand, very interested in his teacher's choice and wanting to see for himself who would defeat his teacher.

"The 7th Division? That's certainly suitable." Admiral Adai nodded slightly. He hadn't thought too much about it; he just felt that Kamui was quite capable and it would be better to leave him to handle things.

“I… also apply to go to Yoshiwara Peach Blossom Village to carry out a mission. The situation in Yoshiwara is somewhat complicated right now, so sending more people there would be a better option.”

Lion Ridge said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate, Shenwei!"

"Oh! You're all going..." Hearing someone's words, Chairman Ma became somewhat eager. He had suffered a loss on that planet before, and now he had a legitimate reason to go there...

"Then, I'll join you too..."

My former enemy, I've come to wash away my shame! Are you ready?

"Huh?" In the blink of an eye, three division commanders had already expressed their intention to go to Yoshiwara. The admiral was speechless. Usually, when he asked them to do something, they would all shirk their responsibilities as if they were being chased by dogs. But today, they were all scrambling to do it...

The other division commanders were also somewhat interested and wanted to know what was hidden in Yoshiwara.

"Since everyone is interested, why don't we each send someone to Yoshiwara and see what they can find out?"

Fan Jie offered his suggestion, expressing his strong interest in the Night King's treasure.

The group discussed it and made a decision without even consulting the admiral.

After all, in the spring rain, the division commanders with some ability didn't take the admiral seriously at all. In the eyes of many, the admiral was just a figurehead.

Therefore, after reaching a conclusion, some division commanders left the meeting room directly to prepare for departure, while others bid farewell to the admiral and also made their own preparations.

Who wouldn't want the Night King's treasures!

………………

Meanwhile, the rapid response team had already arrived near their destination without waiting for the space station to transfer them, since the goods in the fleet could not pass the formal inspection process.

During the slow descent, Sakamoto Tatsuma emailed Katsura Kotaro, informing him of the delivery address.

"A ski resort? That's a familiar place."

Upon seeing the address sent by Sakamoto Tatsuma, Katsura Kotaro muttered to himself before leading a team to the ski resort.

At the same time, Takasugi Shinsuke, who had been keeping an eye on Katsura Kotaro, received the information and led a group of people to follow.

The two teams arrived at the ski resort one after the other, waiting for the quick support team...

Meanwhile, the dome of Yoshiwara's Peach Blossom Village has been opened, and the streets that used to be perpetually dark are now a thing of the past...

Fang Rui's decrees were also communicated to everyone in Yoshiwara by the Baihua Guard, and even spread beyond Yoshiwara's Peach Blossom Village with the help of some individuals.

Many people lamented, "It seems we won't be able to enjoy ourselves anytime soon."

The establishment of the trading zone has been welcomed by some organizations. In the past, they had to conduct transactions in Taoyuan Township in secret, but now that they can do so openly, it is naturally better.

Other organizations, however, excluded Yoshiwara Togengo from the trading area, allowing illegal transactions to proceed openly. Were they afraid that the Shinsengumi wouldn't have enough evidence?

With the help of everyone who was willing to stay in Yoshiwara, the renovation of Yoshiwara officially began...

Fang Rui was responsible for providing the funds, while Yueyong and Rilun were in charge of handling all other matters...

"How lively!" Fang Rui murmured softly, listening to the clanging and banging sounds coming from all directions as he held his teacup.

“It’s really lively…” Beside him, Fengxian also held a cup of tea, watching everyone busy at work.

Well, compared to when he was in power, these people now have a sparkle in their eyes and a change in their spirit.

"What is your purpose in giving so much?"

In just a few days, Fang Rui provided enough gold to build a house, the kind where all the building materials are gold.

"There's no particular purpose," Fang Rui said casually. "It's just something I wanted to do..."

"Is that so?" Fengxian didn't say anything more, only sighing in her heart at Fang Rui's wealth and capriciousness.

"It's so lively!" a voice came from behind. The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of people.

The Yorozuya trio and Muddy Water Jirocho, among others.

"How did you end up here?" Fang Rui asked.

"I need to talk to you about something," Muddy Water Jiro explained succinctly, then got down to business, "You said you wanted to collect some unusual items, and now I've come to deliver them to you..."

As they spoke, two people carried a wooden box to Fang Rui. After the box was opened, a pile of things came into Fang Rui's view.

"What are these...?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly.

The contents of the wooden box can be aptly described as a "mess," as their purpose is impossible to discern from their appearance.

"What's the use of this knife?" Fang Rui picked out an item that seemed to have some value from a pile of junk.

Compared to ordinary knives, this knife has no special features, but compared to other items, it at least looks expensive.

Upon hearing Fang Rui's question, Muddy Water Jiro immediately replied, "This is a cursed sword; whoever wields it will become a shut-in."

"Hmm?" Fang Rui immediately looked at him with a puzzled expression. What kind of subtle curse was this? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before...

"..." Fengxian, standing to the side, was speechless. How did such a subtle curse come about?

A moment later, Fang Rui had a look of realization... This sword, isn't it Hijikata Toshiro's future weapon?

Hijikata Toshiro spent a long time trying to solve the side effects of the sword.

After examining the knife for a while, Fang Rui tossed it aside. As a demonic sword, it was qualified in a certain sense, but in Fang Rui's opinion, it could not become his collectible, mainly because its style was too low.

Then he picked up the other items and inquired about their effects.

Fang Rui asked, "What is the purpose of this comb?"

Muddy Water Jiro replied, "The more you comb your hair, the more hair grows."

“It’s somewhat useful, for some people.” Fang Rui nodded slightly, still not adding it to the list of collectibles, but rather placing it in the list of commodities.

As a businessman, Fang Rui also does some business while traveling.

He thought a comb that could help hair growth was somewhat useful, and considering that some life forms had high magic resistance, Fang Rui decided to enhance the wooden comb.

"What about this?" Fang Rui pointed to a pair of slippers, curious about their purpose.

"These are slippers that will definitely cause you to fall. They're a prank prop, invented by a scientist."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

"I asked you to find a treasure, not a prank prop!" Fang Rui said.

What he wanted was a treasure with magical effects, not some strange or unusual thing.

"One hundred percent sure he'll fall? How did he know that?" Fengxian didn't argue, she was just curious.

"Your focus is so strange," Sakata Gintoki remarked from the side. He found it hard to believe that the former ruler of Yoshiwara was saying such nonsensical things.

It was a scene I could never have imagined...

"Is it strange?" Fengxian asked, trying to blend in with ordinary people, but without success.

“Not surprising.” Fang Rui slowly shook his head. “To be honest, I’m quite curious too.”

"He conducted an experiment, and everyone who wore slippers fell down without exception."

Muddy Water Jiro gave a seemingly rigorous explanation, but Fang Rui and the others became increasingly speechless.

That's something only a bored person would do.

Tossing his slippers aside, Fang Rui picked up another item: "What's this?"

Judging from its appearance, it should be an alarm clock, but what exactly it is remains to be seen until Mudmizu Jirocho explains.

"It's an alarm clock, but it's not like a normal alarm clock; it dances..."

With that, Sakata Gintoki picked up the alarm clock and demonstrated it to Fang Rui.

First, set a time. When the time comes, you'll see the alarm clock start bouncing around, like it's breakdancing, with its surface parts flailing wildly...

Watching the alarm clock's performance, Fang Rui remained expressionless, slowly raising his head to look at everyone. "Explain to me why this thing is called a treasure?"

Muddy Water Jirocho was very decisive and directly pointed out who had taken out the alarm clock.

"He's the one who put this alarm clock in; let him explain!"

With that, Jirocho pushed Sakata Gintoki forward and took a few steps back with the others.

Seeing this, Sakata Gintoki broke out in a cold sweat, like a tap that had been turned on...

"Ahem, let me explain..." Sakata Gintoki forced a smile. "Look, can a normal alarm clock bounce like this? Obviously not. In that respect, it's unique, isn't it?"

"I feel like this alarm clock is an old one that's about to fall apart."

Housen offered her opinion from the side, and upon hearing it, Sakata Gintoki's expression froze for a moment before he changed the subject, "Ahaha, how could that be~"

Seeing his reaction, Fang Rui realized that Feng Xian's guess was correct. He sighed softly and asked, "Tell me! What exactly happened? Why did you lie to me?"

"Ahem, I wasn't trying to lie to you." Sakata Gintoki offered a somewhat far-fetched explanation, "I've heard that if an object is used for a long time, it will generate a tsukumogami (spirit/ghost), and I've been using this alarm clock for a long time, and it's been behaving strangely, so..."

After a pause, Gintoki Sakata looked at the speechless expressions of the people around him and added in a low voice, "I just want to try it!"

"You really have a lot of ingenious ideas," Fang Rui remarked, then glanced at the alarm clock...

If Yoshida Shōyō had carried his belongings for decades, he might have become a monster. After all, he was practically a moving dragon vein, constantly being submerged by massive amounts of dragon vein energy, which would inevitably cause some changes.

"Introduce the other things as well." Fang Rui didn't bother asking each person individually, but instead let Sakata Gintoki and the others introduce them, without pursuing any further questions about them.

Listening to everyone's stories, Fang Rui nodded slightly and concluded that they were all a bunch of junk, with very few useful items.

"I know treasures aren't easy to find, but you don't need to fob me off with a bunch of junk! I didn't set a time limit!"

"It's not that we're just trying to appease you, but we're not quite sure what your preferences are, so we've brought you everything that meets our criteria."

"Tell me, is this up to standard?"

Fang Rui's mind was full of questions...
