Zongman: Start by taking down the Dragon King and meet Zi

"Hey, it's just an idea. Is it necessary to be like this?"

Dongfang Chen complained.

Kuriyama Mirai: "It's just an idea. Of course it's fine if no one knows about it, but you shouldn't express your ideas in front of two girls."

Nase Mizuki: "Yes, and she looked at us with lewd eyes."

Dongfang Chen was helpless: "Yes, yes, is it okay if I don't want to think about it?"

Mizuki Nase: "Stay away from me, pervert."

Kuriyama Mirai: "Senior is actually such a person."

Mizuki Nase suddenly stopped and pointed to the store next to her: "We're here, this is it."

The sign above said 'Coffee', but the awning over the door said 'Xintang Photo Gallery'.

"It's the official organization of aliens after all, can't they be more generous? They even have to hide their real business."

Dongfang Chen complained.

"That's not necessary."

Mizuki Nase rolled her eyes at him and went to knock on the door.

"Click~"

After a while, the door was opened, and a little girl less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a high school uniform, walked out.

"Sister Miyue, good afternoon! And these two are..."

Naze Mizuki nodded, "Yeah, Ai too, good afternoon. They have some youmeng stones that they want to identify, and my brother asked me to bring them here. Sister Ayaka is here, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Dongfang Chen, in the same grade as Nanase-san."

Dongfang Chen introduced himself politely.

"Hello, my name is Ai Shindo." The little girl responded politely.

Kuriyama Mirai, who was standing by, used her blood to form a long sword and asked nervously, "Why are you and Youmu chatting so intimately?"

Dongfang Chen patted her shoulder and said, "Put away the knife. Although this Miss Shindo is a youmu, she is not aggressive towards us."

Nase Mizuki: "Ai is different from other youmu. She is on the same side as us."

Even though Kuriyama Mirai pointed a knife at Shindo Ai, she just frowned slightly and explained, "Yes, there are many kinds of youmu."

"We got a license from the Alien Association."

Shindo Ai went to the store again and took out a 'Youmu Appraisal Professional License' and showed it to Kuriyama Mirai.

Kuriyama Mirai leaned forward to take a closer look and said, "So, the appraisal here is Youmu appraising Youmu?"

"That's about what it means." Shindo Ai nodded.

Seeing this, Kuriyama Mirai was also relieved and put away the knife. She apologized, "My name is Kuriyama Mirai, and I apologize for my behavior just now."

Shindo Ai smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, everyone please go inside first!"

Several people entered the house together, and Renjie also saw another Youmu Shindo Ayaka.

This girl looks like a mature older sister, with a pair of green eyes and long dark green hair.

He was wearing Japanese-style home clothes with a yellow coat on the outside, and holding a pipe in his hand, exuding a lazy atmosphere.

When she saw a few people, she smiled and greeted them: "Welcome to our store, I am the store manager, Shindo Ayaka."

"Strange alien warrior Higashigatake-san, and this Kuriyama-san, right? Hiroomi has already told me the purpose of your visit."

"Yes, hello Sister Caihua, I heard them all call her like that." Dongfang Chen nodded.

"Well, that's fine."

Then she looked at Kuriyama 447 Future and said in a joking tone: "Although I am Youmu, please don't attack me!"

"No, it won't."

Kuriyama Mirai responded somewhat awkwardly.

Now that she knew why Youmu was here, she naturally wouldn't do anything rude.

"Everyone, please sit down first, and take out your youmeng stones. I will help you identify them."

Shindo Caihua greeted.

Since they were sitting around on the tatami, Dongfang Chen also took out twelve youmeng stones from his backpack.

"Ah la la, there are really quite a lot!"

Shindo Ayaka picked up a piece and looked at it with a smile.

"If this thing is valuable, I don't mind making some extra money." Dongfang Chen said.

Shindo Ayaka: "Well, whether it's worth money depends on what kind of youmu it is. Some might be worth a few hundred yen, while others might be worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."

Dongfang Chen: "Is there an estimate for the Youmeng Stone of the Shadow of Nothingness? I am more concerned about this."

Although he had already agreed with Hiroomi Nase to sell it to their family after obtaining the Youmeng Stone, he still needed to find out the approximate price first.

Except for Kuriyama Mirai, the others were all stunned.

Shindo Ayaka looked at him with interest: "Houto-san has some ideas about the Youmeng Stone of the Void Shadow, right?"

Chapter 156 Follow me and you will never have to worry about food and drink

"Well, I do have an idea, so I'll ask about the price first to avoid being ripped off."

Dongfang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Ah, la la, it's really confident! Obviously, the aliens are avoiding it."

Shindo Caihua narrowed her eyes and looked at Dongfang Chen. From the surface, he was just a teenager. What gave him the confidence?

Dongfang Chen: "I just believe in my own strength."

Shindo Ayaka nodded: "I see, it seems that Dongfang-san has hidden incredible power!"

"By the way, Dongfang-san wants to know the estimated value of the Youmeng Stone of the Shadow of Nothingness. To be honest, I can't make an estimate."

"In terms of practicality, its Youmeng Stone is definitely one of the top-quality materials;"

"From a commemorative point of view, a youmu like the Shadow of Nothingness is a nightmare-like existence for all aliens. It is a legendary existence."

Dongfang Chen: "Okay, thank you for your explanation."

Shindo Ayaka: "It's okay, then I'll start identifying these youmu."

Dongfang Chen: "Thank you for your help."

Then I saw Shindo Ayaka take out some tools from the cabinet next to her.

He opened a container of red, sticky substance, put some on his index finger, and drew a circle on the table.

Take another stack of white rectangular paper and sprinkle it over the circle.

"Swipe!"

One end of the paper is neatly inserted into the line of the circle, which looks very ceremonial.

Then she picked up another youmeng stone and placed it in the middle of the circle. A demonic power rippled out from the circle, and the youmeng stone was lifted up by a force.

Shindo Ayaka took out one eye and observed it slowly.

Dongfang Chen asked quietly, "Is there any standard for the value of the Youmeng Stone?"

Shindou Ai: "Normally, the more powerful the youmu, the more valuable the youmu stones are. There are also some special youmu that can sell for very high prices. "

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your explanation." Dongfang Chen nodded.

As each Youmeng Stone was tested, its value was recorded.

The final price of the twelve Youmeng Stones totaled 42 yen.

At this time they had already left the shop.

Dongfang Chen and Kuriyama Mirai were walking on the way home, and he took out 21 yuan and handed it to Kuriyama Mirai.

"The price is acceptable. After all, these youmu are not that powerful."

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Dongfang Chen felt a little disappointed.

The youmu that can be found everywhere is not worth much.

"That's a lot of money. I don't have to worry about having no food to eat for the next few days!"

Kuriyama Mirai hasn't received so much cash in a long time.

As a high school student, she has no source of income except for working occasionally to make ends meet.

As an alien, she often goes to fight Youmu, and every battle requires blood.

If you use too much blood, you will need to supplement nutrition, otherwise you will spend more than you earn.

Not having money to eat well has become her normal state.

Dongfang Chen chuckled and shook his head, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.

"How poor must you have been before? Such a small amount of money makes you so excited. If you follow me in the future, I will ensure that you will never have to worry about food and drink."

"really?"

Kuriyama Mirai looked at him expectantly. For her, having enough food and drink was already her dream life.

However, she changed her mind and felt that it was inappropriate, so she quickly added: "No, no, the senior has already taken such good care of me, I can't cause trouble for the senior anymore."

Dongfang Chen put his hands on her shoulders: "Mr. Kuriyama, please make it clear that we are partners now."

"We are partners who fight Youmu together and make money together. Isn't it normal for partners to take care of each other?"

"When did Senior and I become partners? How come I didn't know?"

Kuriyama Mirai's cute left eye.

Dongfang Chen: “Just now.”

Kuriyama Mirai shook her head: "No, this is without my consent. I am unhappy!"

"Why not, Kuriyama-san dislikes me?"

Facing Dongfang Chen's straight ball, Kuriyama Mirai lowered her head in disappointment.

"Because I am a cursed person with cursed blood. If you stay with me, you will also encounter misfortune!"

"Ha~"

Dongfang Chen sneered disdainfully: "What cursed blood? This is just nonsense made up by those aliens."

"Your bloodline gives you great power. Perhaps this power has indeed brought you misfortune."

"But power itself is never wrong, only the right or wrong way of using it."

"Strength is something that should be used to protect yourself first. Only when you have strength left should you consider whether to help others."

Kuriyama Mirai: ".' But I used my power to kill people, my best friend."

Dongfang Chen: "But she was possessed by the Shadow of Nothingness, wasn't she? If you don't do anything to her, she will do something to you. The worst result is that not only will you die, but more people will die as well."

Kuriyama Mirai looked up at him and said, "Senior, you investigated me, didn't you?"

Dongfang Chen nodded.

Of course, this was just his memory, and he had not actually done any investigation.

Kuriyama Mirai, who lost her parents at a young age, was adopted by the Iwa family, a family of alien warriors, and met Iwa Yui, the daughter of the Iwa family.

The two became good friends, and Iwa Yui even became a rare color in Kuriyama Mirai's dark world.

A few years later, everything was moving in the right direction.

However, before entering high school, that is, last winter, they unfortunately encountered the Shadow of Nothingness.

Iwa Yui was possessed by the shadow of nothingness. In order to protect herself, Kuriyama Mirai fought off the shadow of nothingness, but (Mama Zhao) Iwa Yui also lost her life.

Therefore, Kuriyama Mirai developed a hatred for the Shadow of Nothingness and vowed to kill the Shadow of Nothingness with his own hands to avenge his friend.

"I'm unhappy!"
