The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Kusuo Saiki began to calculate the weight of the gold.

Gold is light, so he can pull it up slowly at a normal pace.

The requirement to pass level 1 is 5000.

A gold coin appeared and immediately disappeared, turning into a notification sound: "Ding! 1200 gold coins."

There are only 6 minutes left. It took 3 minutes to catch one gold nugget, and at least 3 more are needed to clear the level. In addition, Kuroro caught the small gold nugget at the beginning, which is worth 400.

It must be completed without any delays. By the way, why am I the only one working hard to meet the targets for two people?

Looking to the side, Kuroro had apparently reached a dead end and unleashed the Thief's Ultimate Technique.

How about the current version called mining?

Apologize to the Enhancement type.

Five minutes passed.

Saiki Kusuo: 3600 gold.

Kuroro: 400 gold.

Even Kusuo Saiki didn't approve of this person's slacking off.

He's the one who'd rather give up.

As he lowered the hook again, he suddenly noticed a moving skeleton passing by his hook.

What's going on? There are already creatures in the first level?

Kusuo Saiki remembers that living creatures had very low value; in the game, pigs were only worth two coins, right?

The thing looked like a fish, swimming and swaying as it passed below. Kusuo Saiki blinked a few times and found that the bone still retained its shape; it was still a bone.

He seemed to remember what this was.

"Ding! 500 gold."

This sound didn't come from Kusuo Saiki's side; it was Kuroro's doing. The 20-ton rock had been eaten to pieces by the fish and was no longer hooked. His hook was freed, and he could start catching other things.

"It's a bit dangerous, we need to act quickly," Kuroro said. "Xiao Xiang? How are you? Tired? This is only the first hurdle."

Don't make it sound like you put in a lot of effort to comfort others who are still working hard. What's the story behind the Phantom Troupe leader who only got 900 after half a day?

"Ding! 500 gold." Kuroro grabbed gold again in a short period of time.

It turns out that Kusuo Saiki originally had X-ray vision, which allowed him to see the entire structure below, making it very easy for him to use a hook to capture it.

Characters like Kuroro, who lack perspective, need to observe through the very limited viewpoint of the opening, making it difficult to observe comprehensively.

Ordinary people really have it tough, right?

But now Kuroro has found a way. The Secret Chamber Fish bite through the stones in the path, leaving them riddled with holes. They pass through the stones, revealing the view behind them. Kuroro can make the Secret Chamber Fish create special paths to catch gold at will, and he can also make them clear away all the stones that are in the way.

This is a very elegant ability, and many people have memorized the secret of swimming in a secret room.

However, the fish's inner thoughts:

Don't forget that he was originally a man-eating monster just because he's eating stones now.

"Ding! 1200 gold."

"Ding! 1000 gold."

"Time's up! Kusuo Saiki: 4800 gold, Kuroro: 2400 gold. Proceed to settlement!"

The shop owner appeared before me. He had a gloomy face, and his mustache formed the shape of the number eight. His sales table was small, and he had set out five items.

Power Upgrade Assist: A mysterious craftsman will help you tap the device, randomly increasing your power by a little. Product effect description: Take it or leave it.

Speed ​​Up Assist: A mysterious craftsman will tap the device for you, randomly increasing your speed by a small amount. Product effect description: Take it or leave it.

Lucky Clover: A very rare clover with four leaves. It is believed to increase your luck, believe it or not.

Negotiation expert: A secret technique taught by the boss that can't be shared with outsiders, randomly increasing sales by a certain percentage. Product effect description: Take it or leave it.

Bomb: Can blow up anything you catch.

Just from the description of the items, it's clear that the boss is indeed very short-tempered.

Chapter 150 The Boss's Mental State

"Boss, how much do these things cost?" Kuroro asked.

"Huh? Are you blind or not smart enough? My price is clearly marked on the front of the item, isn't it? Oh, I forgot." The shopkeeper glanced down at the merchandise.

"I'll sell each of them for 1000!" the boss said dismissively.

Hey, isn't this a bit too hasty?

"Whoever buys it will get the benefits?"

"You two share everything! How come you don't know anything and yet you're playing games!"

Wow... what a fierce boss.

Kuroro calmly gathered the information and glanced at all the items:

Kuroro looked at the quiet lady beside him. Having just exerted his efforts, she now held the most gold. He had to ask her for advice before he could buy anything.

"Ms. Xiao Xiang..."

"Eh? Oh, okay. So, Ms. Xiao Xiang, is there anything you've taken a fancy to?"

"Is it okay to buy this many? If it's going to cost this much, I'd prefer to combine lucky clover with any other one, since it's random, isn't it?"

How much luck does an item costing 100 gold increase?

Kuroro stared at Xiao Xiang for a moment: "Hmm... alright, can you buy it for me?"

Have you stopped believing in your luck since then?

"I didn't mean to spend your gold coins intentionally, it's just about luck... I'll buy other items that aren't related to luck if needed later."

Kusuo Saiki directly bought the Negotiation Expert and Speed ​​Up Assist.

The sound of money being lost.

The boss accepted the money and instantly became kind and benevolent: "Very good, I'll teach you some negotiation skills first. What are your names?"

"Her name is Xiao Xiang, and my name is Kuroro."

"Xiao Xiang? That's not how the player names above your heads are written! Tell me your real name!"

Huh? Kuroro was surprised. After a moment's recollection, he remembered that when Xiao Xiang was announced as the lord, she was given the name Saiki Kusuo.

"Her name is Saiki Kusuo."

"Tsk, he doesn't even know the name of the girl he's with, yet he's out playing games with her."

Kuroro: ^^……Where did this boss come from?

Kusuo Saiki: So the boss asked even though he already knew the name.

The boss took out his phone and expertly dialed a number: "Hello? Is this the gold collection? Let your manager answer the phone. What, the manager's in the bathroom? Fine, let me tell you. I have two small-time players here, one named Saiki Kusuo, and the other Kuroro. Take care of these two, understand? Yes, yes, the money they just earned is immediately thrown into my pocket. Giving them a little more is fine too. Pshaw, don't pretend, do you think I don't know your profit margins?"

Is this what a negotiation expert is like? Isn't this just using connections?

After a while, the boss suddenly slammed the phone down.

"We've settled things, get lost."

What kind of agreement is this?

"More than two minutes have passed," Kuroro said.

Ah, you could have caught another gold nugget in that time.

When Kusuo Saiki and Chrollo returned to the machine, they found a dwarf smashing a hammer against the machine on Chrollo's side.

Will it really not break?

The dwarf hurriedly put away the large hammer and replaced it with a delicate little hammer, tapping here and there: "Oh, you're back. I was thinking of fixing it a few more times before you came back. Making money is the priority for you. Please use it."

Kusuo Saiki & Kuroro: ...

"Should we not trust that shop owner?"

The two sat down, and a new challenge began.

Surprisingly, the amount of gold harvested did indeed show a slight increase.

"Ding! 1206 gold."

"Ding! 603 gold."

After the second stage, the two earned a little extra. Although Kusuo Saiki couldn't feel how much his speed had increased, he knew that Kuroroka's speed had increased by about 3.2%.

Well, when necessary, the computing power of superhumans can be comparable to that of a machine.

The two soon met the boss again.

Bomb (80 gold): You can explode something you've caught to see what happens.

160 Gold Explosive Pack: Blow it up! Blow up everything you've caught and everything around it!

Stone Collector 200 Gold: Helps you sell even broken stones for a price.

Pig farmer 200 gold: If you don't buy, you'll be waiting for pork to be sold at a ridiculously low price.

Power Upgrade Assist Promotion 100 Gold: Buy it or not, I'll burn this item tomorrow.

Kuroro: "Are we really going to catch a pig? Isn't this a mining area?"

Since their money did increase after their first purchase, Kuroro decided to buy the Power Boost item, and the Stone Collector and the Pig Farmer also bought it.

"Given our current expenses, and with the requirements for each level, there might be a level where we'll have to survive on stones."

It seems there really is a level that's all stones; this person really thought of everything.

He bought the items and left immediately, but before leaving, he glanced at the shop owner one last time.

Is the boss really alright? There seem to be some curse-like words written on the wall behind him; it was supposed to say "Welcome."

The boss was like a hedgehog ready to explode at any moment: "Hey, what are you looking at... let's go."
