They awakened the simulator memory!

"At that time, because I was about to finish it, I was a little relaxed. It happened that the cold wind at night came in through the window. I was excited, my hands shook, and the stroke was gone."

"After that, I was anxious to remedy the situation and subconsciously increased the output power of my spiritual power. Then somehow, I was able to successfully remedy the situation."

"After I finished it, I tested the power and found that compared to the ordinary flame bullet talisman, this one that was corrected after a mistake was actually stronger."

"I immediately struck while the iron was hot, looking for the feeling I had at that time. After trying seven or eight times, I barely managed to reproduce it once."

"After that, I tried many times before I finally mastered the new drawing method."

After listening to Qing Shuiquan's story, Hiiragi Shinoa was thoughtful.

Did it turn out that the spiritual power output was changed?No wonder she couldn't tell.

Also...is this just a coincidence?

Shinoa Hiiragi held her chin with perfect curves, wondering whether she should believe Qing Shuiquan's statement.

If it is a coincidence, Qing Shuiquan's talent is still worthy of recognition.

And if not, that would be even more incredible.

After thinking for a while, Hiiragi Shinoa looked up at Qingshuiquan.

"Mr. Shimizu, do you want to sell us this new drawing method?"

"Yes, I wonder, Miss Store Manager, how much do you think this painting method is worth?"

"The value...Mr. Qingshui, please wait, I will calculate it first."

Hiiragi Shinoa returned to the counter, turned on the computer, called up the data, and started doing calculations.

After a while, Hiiragi Shinoa looked up at Qingshuiquan.

"One hundred million yen, I will buy out your drawing method directly."

"Buyout?"

Qing Shuiquan thought for a while and asked, "Is there only a buyout and no sharing?"

Shinoa Hiiragi sighed softly and said helplessly: "Mr. Shimizu, our mysterious world has its own market. Common technologies that may be cracked are bought out and no share will be given."

"Oh? Why is this?" Qing Shuiquan asked curiously.

Shinoa Hiiragi patiently explained: "Compared to the surface world where order and order are stable, our mysterious world has many rules, but the most important rule is that strength comes first."

"In the mysterious world, there is no patent law like the rest of the world. If someone comes up with something new and puts it for sale, others will naturally buy it, crack it, and then put it on the shelves for sale."

"So, when we encounter common technologies that may be cracked, we usually buy them out with money, and then use them to study secretly for a period of time. At the same time, during this period, we also encrypt the purchased technologies to ensure that It’s not going to be cracked any time soon.”

“Then we can put the new encrypted products on the shelves and try to make enough profits before they are cracked by others.”

"I see..." Qing Shuiquan nodded thoughtfully.

Without division, there can be no steady flow.

But it would be quite convenient to just buy it out and take all the money at once.

Thinking of this, Qing Shuiquan raised his eyes and looked at Hiiragi Shinoa.

"Miss store manager, this price..."

Hiiragi Shinoa immediately said: "This is already the highest price. If it is higher, we will lose money, but..."

Shinoa Hiiragi looked at Qingshuiquan with strange eyes, "Mr. Qingshui, your talent is amazing. As my personal investment in you, I am willing to add another 3000 million yen. I hope that when you have such an opportunity again in the future, you can The first thing that came to mind was our ‘Night Crow’s Nest’.”

"Investment in me?" Qing Shuiquan looked at Hiiragi Shinoa with interest.

This guy is not big, not big-hearted, but he has a lot of ideas. I don’t know if the so-called 3000 million yen is the value of the talisman technology, or if it is really an additional investment.

"Yes, how about it, do you want to accept it?" Hiiragi Shinoa looked at Qing Shuiquan with a smile.

"Haha~ I won't let you down, store manager."

Qing Shuiquan responded with a smile, completely unaware of Yukinoshita's eyes that were getting darker.

171. "Joel's Worry"

"Then, happy business."

Hiiragi Shinoa smiled and stretched out her white and tender hands.

Qing Shuiquan smiled and said nothing. Instead of shaking hands with Hiiragi Shinoa, he took out a folded list and put it in Hiiragi Shinoa's hand.

"The transaction is not over yet. These are the materials I need to buy. Miss store manager, can you see if they are in stock?"

"Oh? Let me see..."

Shinoa Hiiragi unfolded the list and quickly browsed it from beginning to end.

"It's the same material as last time."

Shinoa Hiiragi put down the list and looked up at Qingshuiquan, "Same as before, the ordinary materials are all available, but the dragon blood tree heart will have to wait a few days."

Qing Shuiquan nodded slightly, "Okay, when the dragon's blood tree heart arrives, you let me know and I will pick it up. In addition, these materials must be in two portions."

"Two copies?"

"Yes, two."

"Okay, I get it...let me do the math..."

After confirming the transaction content, Qing Shuiquan and Hiiragi Shinoa were handling the transaction details at the counter.

Yukinoshita, who was standing alone, stared at Qingshuiquan's side face intently.

After a few minutes, the transaction was finally over.

Qingshuiquan did not stay any longer and immediately left the "Night Crow's Nest" with Yukinoshita.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and the atmosphere was slightly silent.

Not long after, Qing Shuiquan rode a motorcycle and drove Yukinoshita to the downstairs of the apartment where she lived alone.

He slowly stopped his motorcycle on the side of the road, waiting for Yukinoshita to get off.

However......

Yukinoshita didn't get off the car immediately as usual.

She wrapped her arms around Qing Shuiquan's waist, and her soft body gently pressed against Qing Shuiquan's back.

"Qingshui-kun, you just lied."

Yukinoshita's tone was a little distant, close to her ears, yet seemingly far away.

"Hmm? Yukinoshita, you mean?"

Qing Shuiquan landed on one foot and tried his best to maintain the balance of the motorcycle.

"That coincidence." Yukinoshita reminded him softly.

"Oh~ you said that, you are definitely lying, but there is nothing you can do about it. Some things cannot be known to outsiders. Yukinoshita, you must remember to keep my secrets and don't let outsiders know, otherwise I may be in trouble. .”

"..."

Yukinoshita was silent for a few seconds, and her tone became more distant.

"Shimizu-kun, do you think I will reveal your secret to others?"

Vaguely, Qingshuiquan smelled a hint of resentment.

He glanced at the rearview mirror, trying to understand Yukinoshita's expression at this moment in the rearview mirror.

Unfortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Yukishita, of course I believe in your character. As for the reminder just now, I just said it casually. I didn't mean to distrust you."

For some reason, he felt that Yukinoshita was a little too sharp tonight, so he patiently explained.

"I see."

After a brief response, Yukinoshita fell silent again.

Seeing Qing Shui Quan neither getting out of the car nor speaking, Qing Shui Quan didn't know what to do.

He frowned, trying to analyze in his mind the reason why Yukinoshita was like this, and trying to find a solution.

"Qingshui-kun..."

Before Qing Shuiquan could analyze the reason, Yukinoshita spoke.

"Why do we need to prepare two materials?" Yukinoshita asked in a very soft voice.

"..." Qing Shuiquan's brows stretched, and a subtle color gradually appeared in his eyes.

"There is another one prepared in advance for Fumino."

Qing Shuiquan explained patiently: "I am not going to keep hiding things about the mysterious world from Fumino. When the time is right, I will tell Fumino everything. By then, the Strengthening Mark will be my apology gift to Fumino."

"Apology gift..." Yukinoshita murmured softly.

"Yes, an apology gift." Qing Shuiquan confirmed with a subtle expression.

"..."

Yukinoshita stopped talking.

A few seconds later, Yukinoshita got out of the car silently.

"Good night, Shimizu-kun. Also, be careful on the road."

"I will, Yukinoshita, good night to you too."

After saying a brief goodbye, Yukinoshita turned around and walked towards the apartment with a calm expression.

Looking at Yukinoshita's slender back, the expression on Qing Shuiquan's face became increasingly unpredictable.

At this moment, he had a reasonable suspicion that Yukinoshita was jealous, but unfortunately the evidence was not sufficient, otherwise...

Qing Shuiquan narrowed his eyes. He was now becoming more and more curious about the secret buried deep in Yukinoshita's heart.

In the next period of time, we will work harder and strive to uncover the secrets under the snow as soon as possible.

With these thoughts in mind, Qing Shuiquan watched Yukinoshita enter the lobby on the first floor of the apartment, then withdrew his gaze, twisted the accelerator and left.

.........

12:59 late at night, bedroom on the second floor of "Sunday".

When Joel saw that the owl Xiaoye had not returned for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

In the past, Xiaoye came back around 12:40, and never later than 12:50. Why hasn't she come back tonight?

Could it be that something happened to Koizumi?

Joel, who was a little worried, subconsciously wanted to contact Xiao Ye remotely through the familiar contract to check the situation.

"Gugu~ (I'm back.)"

At this moment, Xiaoye finally came back.

Joel stopped mobilizing his mental energy and quickly stood up and opened the window.

Joel asked after Xiaoye entered the room.

"Xiaoye, why are you back so late today? Did something happen at Xiaoquan's side?"

"Gu Gu~ (He went to the Crow Shop.)"

"In the crow's shop?"

Joel was stunned for a while before realizing that Xiao Ye was talking about "Night Crow's Nest".

There is a black crow sitting on the sign of that store, so Xiaoye usually refers to her as "crow store".

"What did Xiaoye buy?" Joel continued to ask.

"Gugu~ (He went in empty-handed and came out empty-handed.)"

"Gugu~ (Oh, by the way, he took the black-haired girl with him.)"

"Is it the dark-haired girl again?"

Joel frowned slightly, "Did the girl arrive at Xiaoquan's house not long after dark today?"

"Gugu~(Yes.)"
