Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

The self-contained darkroom is responsible for all matters related to the store manager's physical and mental well-being, and generally doesn't enter unless necessary.

"Oh." Luo Bai paused for a moment and said, "Give me a cool haircut and shave my beard while you're at it."

The robot seemed to be hearing this request for the first time, and froze for a few seconds.

[Energy shortage at the funeral home]

It is not recommended that store managers use reserve energy for hygiene issues.

"Energy shortage?" Luo Bai asked instinctively.

The robot butler said: "The funeral parlor has not made a profit in three years."

[Currently in low power consumption mode]

"Uh." Luo Bai paused awkwardly. "I'm really sorry."

"fine!"

"The store manager hasn't made any money in the past three years, but he's made a lot from mining."

The underworld may not have much else, but the mineral resources near the snow-capped mountains are quite good.

Luo Bai smiled and took out a handful of crystals of various sizes from his pocket. These were the crystals he had mined near the snow-capped mountains over the past few years.

"Convert it into a negative square crystal and see how many there are."

The robot took the crystal and began to scan and calculate rapidly.

A moment later, the robot's eyes flashed blue as it processed and recorded data.

[Income: 266.45 grams of negative squartz crystal]

[It is estimated that the store can be sustained for 266256 hours.]

"OK, let's get started!" Luo Bai sat on the iron chair, staring at himself in the mirror. He slowly turned his neck and swayed his head from side to side, carefully examining every angle.

"Get yourself clean, I'm going to see a beautiful woman."

【OK】

Upon receiving the instruction, the robot immediately initiated the hair-cutting program. Its metal arms moved nimbly, precisely trimming Luo Bai's hair.

This aligns with human aesthetic standards.

The scissors clicked, and strands of hair fell, quickly styling the hair into a fashionable and clean look.

But I can't understand, what's the use of being handsome?

Hairstyles do not improve your attributes during combat.

The robot emitted an emotionless voice, leaving Luo Bai speechless and choked with emotion, unsure how to explain it to the robot.

"Okay, okay." Luo Bai replied perfunctorily, but then paused slightly, glancing at something out of the corner of his eye.

He stood up, walked to the siren mermaid's culture tank, and examined it carefully.

"It's been three years, and it's still so well preserved?"

The robot butler explained: "The specimen is in a superposition of being alive and dead."

[It possesses both the cellular activity of a living cell and the physical characteristics of a dead cell.]

In layman's terms, from the microscopic level of cells, they are alive; but from the perspective of vital signs such as heartbeat and respiration, they are dead.

"Soul dispersion?" Luo Bai suddenly uttered a scientific term.

When an intelligent being dies, the remaining nitric acid within its body envelops its self-consciousness and flows out of the body, forming the "soul".

The underworld has an extremely strong gravitational pull on souls; normally, 99.99% of souls will be pulled to the underworld by this force.

Some souls, due to their strong attachment to the mortal world, will struggle and resist the gravity of the underworld, thus becoming separated between the mortal world and the underworld.

Influenced by various acetylene sources, it wanders around unconsciously. In the process of struggling, its own acetylene will be continuously depleted, eventually becoming factorized.

In scientific research, this is called the phenomenon of soul dissociation.

In layman's terms, exorcist families are evil spirits.

[These are the fluctuations we detected]

The robot butler pressed two buttons on the device, and a projection popped up.

The projection is divided into two areas: red on top and blue on the bottom, with a soul line in the middle.

The soul line fluctuates up and down the timeline, with the blue area below representing the underworld and the red area above representing the physical body.

The projection shows that the soul line fluctuates up and down in the early stages, and as it progresses, it gets closer to the underworld, and the light of the line becomes dimmer.

"Can we bring it back?" Luo Bai's voice turned low.

The robot butler paused for a moment, then replied: [Not before]

"now what?"

[266.45 grams of negative square crystal]

We are ready for a fight.

But I don't understand.

[266.45 grams of negative square crystal can do many things, so why use it to bring back the soul of this specimen?]

"I don't know either." Luo Bai looked at the mermaid in the jar, his voice filled with melancholy. "My intuition tells me that I will regret it if I don't save her."

266.45 grams of negative square crystal may not be enough.

A faint blue light flickered in the robot butler's eyes, and its tone was calm and serious.

It lowered its robotic arm, as if weighing how to express itself.

Finally, it raised its head and slowly uttered its advice in a slightly hoarse electronic voice, each syllable filled with a heavy feeling.

[Suddenly pulling with a high-energy acetylene source may damage the soul.]

Preserving the integrity of the soul will be a protracted battle.

[To compete with the underworld for souls, we are adopting a conservative strategy, which is estimated to require 480 to 500 grams of negative cubic crystals. We hope the store manager will consider this carefully.]

[266 grams gone, it could very well be all for nothing...]

“You can bring the soul back.”

Luo Bai pursed his lips, slightly raised his chin, and furrowed his brows, revealing a resolute and determined expression.

"About Fang Jing."

"I'll think of a way."

Chapter 720 Reunion

On the morning of a new day, Luo Bai took the twin flowers to the fifth floor of Bian Yuelong Underground City.

The twin flowers, dressed in elementary school clothes, tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve as they walked along the road, their eyes still sleepy. They yawned and muttered, "Is this what 8 AM is like...?"

"I'm so sleepy..."

Although life with just one person and one cat is lonely, and they eat grass, no one cares about them, and they can sleep until they naturally wake up.

Being woken up at 7 a.m. by the store manager felt a little strange.

She finally realized that the "8" in "8 a.m." refers to the 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Sleep? What are you talking about!" Luo Bai snapped. "At your age, how can you possibly sleep?"

The twin flowers pouted and lowered their heads, their little faces filled with grievance.

A while later, Nanyang Yi arrived at the agreed-upon room. Upon seeing Luo Bai, his expression suddenly froze: "You are... Coach?!"

I originally thought he was some kind of old monster hiding in the deep mountains under a black robe.

Unexpectedly, after taking off his black robe, getting a haircut, and taking a shower, the old monster turned out to be a sunny and cheerful young man!

"Uh, yes." Luo Bai nodded gently.

He does still hold the position of team coach, which seems rather irresponsible.

Being a store manager for a while, being a coach for a while, is all the same.

He seems like a jerk.

"So that's how it is." Nanyang Yi suddenly realized, nodding unconsciously. "No wonder A-Yue entrusted the card to you."

He took a deep breath, bowed solemnly, and said, "On behalf of Bian Yuelong, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"No, no, no." Luo Bai quickly waved his hand, "I came to you today because I wanted you to help me take care of this child."

After saying that, he pulled the twin flowers forward.

The twin flowers were a little nervous. They walked up to Luo Bai and reached back to grab—no, they reached back to tug at his clothes.

"Call someone!"

"Hello, Uncle." The twin flowers nodded obediently.

Luo Bai continued, "She is ten years old now. She used to be a numbered citizen and doesn't have much common sense."

"I'd like to trouble you to help her register as a resident of Bian Yuelong's family so she can attend elementary school."

"You can give her some special care, but don't spoil her too much. Just treat her like a normal child, okay?"

“Of course…” Nanyang Yi paused, somewhat uncertain. “You asked me about this?”

“Yes, what else?” Luo Bai said calmly.

Nanyang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "I thought they were going to borrow troops or launch some kind of reform."

Guys, does anyone know this?

An ultimate being suddenly messaged him, asking him to do something. This made him so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night, wondering what to do if this powerful being wanted to borrow troops to start a war. Meanwhile, Bian Yuelong's situation had stabilized.

And the result? Well...

How about enrolling a little girl in school?

You can one-shot a beast horde, and you're still teaching elementary school kids to go to class at 8 AM?
