Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

After eliminating one piece of information after another, Fan Jie discovered that he had not found the mission target, but he had discovered another powerful figure that he might encounter in the "confrontation competition".

He didn't think these people could cause trouble for Shenwei and the others. Perhaps it was arrogance after they had "seen much" and he was well aware of how "exaggerated" the information on the internet was.

Therefore, he didn't tell Kamui and the others this information, but instead looked up other information. After all, since they were already there, he wanted to gather as much useful information as possible...

Fang Rui was completely unaware of the actions of the Spring Rain Investigation Team. He was not in Yoshiwara Peach Blossom Village, but in Kabukicho.

The reason for coming to Kabukicho was Kagura's request; her father was present, and there were some things they could discuss in detail.

"So..." Inside the Yorozuya, Fang Rui sat on the sofa, looking at the two people opposite him, then at the two people to his left, "The urgent matter you mentioned is that you wanted to ask if your mother could be resurrected?"

“That’s right.” Kagura nodded seriously. Her mother was very important to her, so it was naturally an important matter.

After all, Fang Rui had previously said that Terada Tatsugoro and the others were able to be resurrected entirely because of the planet's special environment.

Hearing Kagura's words, Hoshinobozu, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but his eyes gradually turned fierce. In his opinion, Fang Rui's words were a lie.

But seeing Kagura's expression, he didn't immediately expose her. Instead, he quietly observed, waiting for Fang Rui to cause a problem before he revealed it...

The effect is better, and it won't hurt his relationship with his daughter.

Fang Rui had no idea what Shen Huang was thinking; he continued talking to himself.

"As far as I know, it's possible. After all, your mother has a connection with the Yato's home planet, Ouan, and a rather deep one at that. Her information is stored in Ouan's dragon veins, but..."

"The distance between her and Huang An is too great, and I'm not sure if Huang An can return to Huang An safely."

Based on the information he knew, if a dragon vein mutated creature died on another planet, it could return to the dragon vein of the planet where it was born. After all, Xu had been searching for a way to commit suicide, and given his personality, he must have experimented with it.

His subsequent actions are enough to prove that he failed. By the same token, Jiang Hua should be able to return to the dragon vein of Huang'an.

only……

Jiang Hua and Xu are slightly different, in that they are born in different ways.

As for the differences, Fang Rui had not studied them and could not draw a precise conclusion, but he guessed that there were differences, since the situations the two presented were somewhat different.

Upon hearing what Fang Rui said, Xinghaifangzhu's expression gradually changed. He had not told anyone else about the connection between Jiang Hua and Huang An. It could be said that Jiang Hua's special nature was known only to him.

But now, another person is recounting Jiang Hua's information in detail and in an organized manner, forcing Xinghaifangzhu to consider other things. Perhaps this person...

Really, there is a way!

Fang Rui still had no idea what Shen Huang was thinking, but he didn't care about it and continued to offer his guesses.

"To ascertain Jiang Hua's situation, we need to go to Huang'an and probe the information within the dragon vein..."

"Of course, there is another possibility: when you arrive in Huang'an, you will find that your mother, Jiang Hua, is already there."

“Great, I’ll buy a starship right now, and we’ll head to Huang’an together.”

Regardless of whether what Fang Rui said was true or false, Xinghaifangzhu had the intention to go to Huang'an, and like a bonfire, it was burning brighter and brighter.

“I refuse. The competition I’m organizing is tomorrow. How could I possibly abandon this matter and go to Huang’an with you?”

Fang Rui's refusal was quite decisive; it could be said that he didn't even consider it.

Upon hearing Fang Rui's refusal, Xinghaifangzhu's expression instantly fell. After all, he needed Fang Rui's help and had no intention of resorting to force.

"I'd like to ask, how long does that competition last?"

"The first day is the preliminary round, which will select the top 32. Then, half of them will be eliminated each day until the final winner is determined."

Fang Rui did a quick calculation: "Including the awards ceremony, it will probably be within five days."

"An awards ceremony?" Xinghaifangzhu raised an eyebrow slightly. Speaking of which, his daughter had invited him to participate in a competition. Could it be that Fang Rui was organizing it?

"What's the reward?"

"All rewards are in monetary form," Fang Rui replied. After all, these people wouldn't recognize some of the strange prizes he offered, so it was better to just give them money.

Furthermore, those who know him participate in the competition primarily to cultivate a good relationship with him.

Of course, there are also quite a few who are there for the money.

For example, Sakata Gintoki, the Yorozuya's business is mostly in the red. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to make some money, the Yorozuya will be eating porridge!

After all, Yato really can eat a lot, not to mention that Kagura is a special type of Yato, which may be even more gluttonous than ordinary Yato.

"Money?" Hoshinobozu wasn't very interested. Every time someone asked him to clean up monsters, the amount of money he paid was quite large, which meant that Hoshinobozu was a wealthy man.

"Even if you want to go to Huang'an, you need to make some preparations. There's no need to rush. After all, there's no difference between going sooner or later."

Fang Rui continued to persuade him, but Xinghaifangzhu sensed something was amiss. He tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he stopped considering it and instead started thinking about what Fang Rui had said...

To travel to Huang'an, you need to prepare a lot of things, such as a starship that can guarantee long-distance travel, and enough food for the round trip.

Food is very important, so this is a key point. After all, the Yato tribe has an unusual appetite, and if we don't prepare enough food, our reserves might be eaten up before we even reach Hōan.

Besides that, there's camping equipment and clothing. Xinghaifangzhu, who has been there several times, knows very well how harsh the living conditions in Huangan are.

Thinking this through, Umibozu was deep in thought...

Seeing his expression, Fang Rui didn't disturb him. Kagura, however, was filled with worry. It would be good to see his mother, but what if he couldn't...

The choices facing Kagura are like a magic box; without opening it, she will never know what awaits her.

'Want to come aboard to other planets?'

Sakata Gintoki conveyed a message with his eyes, and Shimura Shinpachi, who had a tacit understanding with Sakata Gintoki, nodded slightly.

'This is very important for Kagura, and we should offer our help.'

Shinpachi Shimura conveyed his thoughts.

"Are you sure?" Sakata Gintoki raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I'm sure." Shinpachi Shimura's expression was firm.

'Alright! In that case, let's go together...' Sakata Gintoki had initially planned to go with Shinpachi, but since Shinpachi hadn't backed down, of course he'd take him along...

only……

The home planet of the Yato, Hogan, is a name I've never heard of before. I need to gather some information about it.

Sakata Gintoki turned his gaze to Kagura, "Kagura, what do you know about Hakuan?"

Kagura, who was being questioned, snapped out of her reverie and, after a moment's thought, replied, "I know nothing about it. I've never heard of Hōan, and my mother has never told me about his hometown."

"But in the stories my mother used to tell, there were some adventures she and my father went on together. Now that I think about it, she must have been talking about Huang An... right?"

Kagura's tone was uncertain, and Umibozu, who was standing next to her, snapped out of his thoughts and said, "An adventure story?"

Seemingly triggered by a keyword, Umibozu once again fell into memories, and before everyone lost interest, he snapped back to reality.

"If Kagura wants to know about Kouan's situation, I can tell you, and also let you prepare..."

As he spoke, Hoshinobozu began to recount Huang An's situation, and the two people listening nearby gradually changed from rosy to pale.

What does that mean? A planet teeming with mutated creatures?

Even the Yato cannot live in Oguri!

Is this really that outrageous?!

The two looked at each other for a while, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes. What were they, as ordinary people, supposed to do on such an absurd planet?

A moment later, the two looked at Fang Rui, seemingly hoping to get a solution from him, but Fang Rui ignored them.

"I suggest we consult Mr. Gengai," Shimura Shinpachi relayed the message.

If you encounter difficulties, turn to Hiraga Gengai; after all, technology can improve life.

'Or we could train with a ninja, since running and jumping are their specialties...'

Sakata Gintoki also found a solution, although his solution seemed absurd to Shimura Shinpachi, since ninjas could be trained quickly.

“That sounds interesting. I’m very interested in those monsters you’re talking about.”

Fang Rui pondered for a moment, thinking about how to capture some monsters. If he could unseal his strength, he could easily capture a bunch of monsters, but...

Without thinking further, he realized that what he was doing had deviated from the initial limitations, therefore...

Unlocking some skills can be used to capture monsters.

"No, no, no, there's absolutely no need to be interested in such a dangerous monster."

Shinpachi Shimura advised, "Don't develop a dangerous interest, Mr. Fang Rui."

"It's alright, I'm very strong," Fang Rui said.

Upon hearing this, Shimura Shinpachi's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

"Since there are so many monsters in Huang'an, where would be a safe place for the starship to dock?" Sakata Gintoki asked.

According to the description given by the Star Sea Monk, monsters inhabit both in the sky and underwater, on the ground and underground, and starships are in danger no matter where they are parked.

"Do we need someone to guard the starship? Someone with ranged attack capabilities?"

“Your concerns are indeed valid, but qualified guards are not so easy to find.”

The Sea Spirit Master's face was serious. "Moreover, protecting a starship is not something one person can do alone."

"I see..." Sakata Gintoki nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Fang Rui's expression, however, was somewhat strange.

The competition he organized was a selection process for the strongest individuals. The current problem was how to invite the winners, since it involved traveling to the extremely dangerous planet Huang'an. How could an ordinary person possibly agree to go...?

'...It seems we need to find a solution; addressing the root cause is the best approach.'

Unsure of what Fang Rui was thinking, the group, stumped by their problem, decided to purchase an armed starship, specifically one with multiple attack methods.

Several people were discussing where to recruit a starship repairman. After all, given the level of danger in Huang'an, not having a starship repairman was like bungee jumping without a seatbelt—danger was already imminent.

After the discussion, Fang Rui left the Yorozuya and went to another place to find Sasaki Isaburo, from whom he obtained records of a certain shrine.

It records methods for appeasing the energy of the dragon vein...

As Fang Rui read the book, a question arose in his mind: why could creatures from other planets—the Koma-gami—pacify the dragon veins?

Fang Rui thought it was normal to appease the dragon veins of the planet that gave birth to it, but why could the dragon veins of other planets also be appeased?

Is it a characteristic of the organism, or a newly developed use?

Fang Rui paid no attention to this matter and instead studied the conditions needed to appease the dragon vein.

According to the book, Fang Rui already had a preliminary understanding and could try it in Huang'an. If it worked, that would be good; if it didn't...
