Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

However, money, power, and status are things that have no end.

When you earn 10 a month, you'll dream of earning 20 a month.

If you earn 20 a month, you'll want 100 million.

If this continues, how can you guarantee that you will stop and not want more?

A person's energy is limited.

Grandpa learned magic more to understand the world than to spend a lot of time thinking about how to make more money.

As for money, enough is enough.

Excessive wealth and power are detrimental to a sorcerer's spiritual practice.

If officials focus all their attention on how to amass wealth, how can they wholeheartedly serve the people?

Living simply is not a form of self-torture or stupidity.

It is to constantly remind myself not to forget my roots!

Iijima Gosho: That's right, it's just that my ambitions lie elsewhere! It's definitely not because my novels aren't selling well and I'm not making money!

Chapter 64 Isn't being a kept man appealing?

"What about Xiao Huan? She must have started from scratch, right?"

"To reach the level of celebrities," Reiko said, "Koharu is the most powerful one in the Iijima family."

'Um. ’

Reiko: 'The teacher was a poor bastard, I'm dead, and Miyako became a housewife.'

Reiko sighed, "The Iijima family really isn't good enough."

The reason Reiko thought Iijima Tamaki was a business genius was because, based on Reiko's understanding of the Iijima family, they shouldn't have used magic to make money.

"Xiao Huan received guidance from Gu Yun, and at that time, Gu Yun had not yet awakened his spiritual power."

Similarly, Gu Yun no longer engages in the Iijima family's business, but instead sends out Zashiki-warashi and Inari-gami to bless Iijima Tamaki with good fortune and prosperity.

This does not count as casting a spell.

If we use the concept from the fantasy novels Gu Yun read in his previous life, the moment he made a contract with Zashiki and Kūgen, the Iijima family's fortune surged dramatically.

In the case of Tamaki Iijima, this manifested as a smooth career and rapid advancement.

"Eh~~~"

Lingzi shifted her position, getting even closer to Gu Yun: "So it turns out that the one who's really capable is little Gu Yun."

Reiko: I knew it, Xiaohuan is so stupid.

Tamaki Iijima: Are you being polite?

"so…"

Gu Yun asked, "Should I meddle less in my mother's affairs from now on?"

"No no no."

Grandpa quickly shook his head and said, "Gu Yun, you can do whatever you want."

Other sorcerers should not get too involved in worldly affairs because their talents are limited.

There are 24 hours in a day, with 8 hours of rest.

In the remaining 16 hours, you will work, study, earn money, go out, and date.

So, how much time is left for cultivation?

"If you learn magic just to make life better, then it doesn't matter."

Grandpa said, "But if you have other pursuits, you can't be too ambitious or greedy."

"People should make accurate judgments and have self-awareness," Grandpa said, "instead of wanting everything and ending up achieving nothing, harming both themselves and others."

The Abe family did this very well.

Knowing their bloodline was cursed, they abandoned dangerous and destructive magic and began pursuing various prophecies and feng shui secrets that could influence the economy and politics.

At the same time, they also mastered various psychological and Machiavellian techniques, gaining a complete grasp of human psychology.

The same is true for most other families.

They specialize in one area, and very few people choose to do two things at once.

“The Abe family is well aware of their own shortcomings as human beings,” the grandfather said. “How can a human being be proficient in mathematics, physics, language, chemistry, and natural sciences, while also being an all-around athlete and a part-time cartoonist and writer?”

is it possible? !

What are you? A robot?

Besides, the Abe family doesn't have that many geniuses.

Most of the Abe clan members are still ordinary people with an IQ of just over 100.

As human beings, we must acknowledge that there are limits to human capabilities.

The Abe family has done their best to spend decades thoroughly studying human psychology!

You might say, "Why not have one person learn magic, one person learn divination, and one person learn feng shui?"

Yes, that's possible.

But there are two problems here. The first is that the Abe family may not have that many talented people.

Secondly, this will create a huge hidden danger for the Abe family.

One generation divides the work in this way, and the second generation divides the work again.

If this continues, will the Abe family still exist?

The Five Elements Family of yesteryear was split up because one person could not master all five secret techniques.

The results of it?

It's split up.

One family split into five, and they went their separate ways!

"It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away?"

Gu Yun silently commented on the Abe family's choice: "So they abandoned the useless fighting method and embarked on another path."

In the entire exorcism world, the Abe family is undoubtedly the most cunning and scheming.

In comparison, there's Gu Yun, Uncle Dao Mo whom they met earlier, and Miyako.

Can the three of them gang up on each other really outmaneuver the Abe family?

Gu Yun might be able to do it; he has the strength, and his mind has been getting sharper lately, so his future looks promising.

But isn't this tiring?

Does he intend to spend his entire life scheming against social figures, politicians, and businessmen?

"Oh, that's true."

Reiko laughed and said, "Ruling humanity is such a boring thing."

"at this point…"

Gu Yun looked at her grandfather and Lingzi: "That's what I think too."

Gu Yun's dream is to become a powerful sorcerer, and then, like the Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen, travel the world and experience fantastical landscapes that ordinary people cannot imagine.

That's why Iijima's casual attitude towards worldly affairs became indifferent.

They don't care much about money, nor do they have much interest in power.

As for Gu Yun, he still has Iijima Tamaki fighting on the front lines.

In the words of Tamaki Iijima: I've taken care of Tanigumo!

You're saying Gu Yun is a kept man?

Gu Yun pointed at Hongye: Did I live off a woman?

Then, pointing at Konghuan, he asked, "Did I live off a woman?"

Then look at Miyako, Tamaki Iijima, and Mizutenko beside her.

'What's the point of even trying?'

Gu Yun: 'Isn't being a kept man appealing?!'

"By the way, teacher, do you still have my Book of Friends?"

Reiko said, "Give it to Kotani Yun as a gift from your senior."

As if afraid that Gu Yun wouldn't know what the Book of Friends was, Lingzi specially explained it to him.

"That one..."

Grandpa said, "I'm giving it to Rena."

Reina's full name is Natsume Reina. She is the daughter of Natsume Reiko. She is the child that Natsume Reiko obtained from Riki using special magic when she and the others were adventuring in the Otherworld.

Although she was obtained from Riki, Reino is indeed Reiko's daughter.

Even with modern scientific DNA testing, the result is the same.

Moreover, through this method, Rena inherited most of Reiko's spiritual power, making her strength no less than that of Miyako, whose curse had not been lifted.

"In that case, there is nothing we can do."

"This really shouldn't be, Reiko."

Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a trench coat walked in. He was the owner of the place, Kotaki Goshiro: "He actually left the child alone over there and died first."

"Hey, Brother Kogoro, you have no right to talk to me like that, do you?"

Reiko said with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you the same? 'Zhenghe' is only about ten years older than Xiaogu Yun now."

"Forehead"
