I was reincarnated in Gensokyo and aspired to become a great magician!!

"System, help me find a low-priced, cost-effective invisibility potion." Zuo Linqin muttered in his mind.

Afterwards, all the information on the light screen disappeared, leaving only the information about a few bottles of medicine.

"Novice-level invisibility potion: makes the user invisible for five seconds. Touching an object or performing an attack will immediately cancel the invisibility. "——3000G

"Master Camouflage Potion: Allows the user to enter camouflage mode with no time limit. Approaching the enemy will result in discovery." - 20000G

"Disappearing Potion: Makes the user completely disappear for five seconds, unable to attack." - 10000G

……

"Okay, a novice-level invisibility potion will be enough for me to sneak in in five seconds." Zuo Linqin swiped at the light screen a few times and bought the potion, which was then distributed to Zuo Linqin by the system.

Unlike other attribute potions, it is a very small test tube filled with a liquid as transparent as water. However, despite its ordinary appearance, it can make a person invisible for five seconds.

"Hmph..." Zuo Linqin opened the seal of the reagent and drank it all. Feeling that something in his body seemed to have changed, Zuo Linqin found that his body was gradually becoming transparent...

However... someone grabbed my collar, and the mysterious feeling of entering the invisible state was like a broken rope... with a snap, it was broken...

"Gah... what the hell!" Zuo Linqin was stunned.jpg

I drank the potion myself, and before I could even warm it up, I was interrupted?!

Zuo Linqin wanted to cry but had no tears. His heart was filled with resentment. He turned around suddenly:

"Who is it! Asiba! I, Doraemon, will beat her to death today! Eyes, eyes!"

“…Ha, something went wrong. I was going to flick your forehead. Well, it’s your own fault anyway.” Meihong looked coldly at Saga who was rolling on the ground with his hands covering his eyes, and retracted her finger. “Since you didn’t come home so late, Huiyin asked me to come out to look for you. Tsk, what a hassle. But your thoughts are pretty easy to guess, and you came here as expected.”

“…Meihong! You bastard…” Zuo Linqin covered his eyes and bared his teeth at Meihong for a long time but couldn’t say anything suitable, “You, can’t you be gentler? It hurts…”

"It's right that it hurts. It'll teach you a lesson. Huiyin just talked about you yesterday." Meihong took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and put it in her mouth. "Investigating this kind of thing is the job of the security team, not yours. Now, follow me back. Do you want to go by yourself or do you want me to drag you?"

"...I'll go by myself." Zuo Linqin got up from the ground depressed. There was nothing she could do if she was caught. She had to apologize to Huiyin quickly. She didn't want to be beaten.

"Humph, a wise choice." Meihong nodded, then looked at the guard standing in the middle of the alley. She was silent for a moment, walked over, and patted the man on the shoulder, "Hey, wake up."

"…Have you handed in your shift? Uh…Captain Fujiwara…"

"You're so lazy and sleeping again, little brat! Don't think that others won't notice you sleeping with your eyes open, blah blah!"

"Yes, yes! Captain Fujiwara! I will never be lazy again!"

"...That guy, was he sleeping..." Zuo Linqin pointed at the guard who stood up straight and stared at Meihong who came back.jpg2

"Ha, I fooled you, didn't I?" Meihong looked at Zuo Linqin's black and white face, her shoulders shaking with pleasure.

“I feel like an idiot…”

"You are a fool, you are not wrong, I am sure of that~" Meihong nodded, agreeing with Zuo Linqin's self-deprecation. She naturally put one hand on Zuo Linqin's soft hair and then crumpled it into a ball.

"Hey! Don't mess up my hair!" Meihong's behavior undoubtedly earned her another glare from Zuo Linqin.

"I didn't see you resisting that fiercely... Damn! You jumped on me right after I finished speaking! Don't bite me, are you born in the year of the dog?"

"Hmph~" As if he had won the game back, Zuo Linqin bit Meihong's palm even harder.

...

"It seems like you are going to work in a flower shop tomorrow?" When they were almost at Terakoya, Meihong spat out the cigarette butt in her mouth and asked Zuo Linqin nonchalantly.

"Hey, how did you know? I never mentioned it..." Zuo Linqin raised his eyebrows.

"Stupid, of course I know." Meihong looked at Zuo Linqin with disdain. "After we take over these matters, we will file them with the security team."

"Yes, is that so?" Zuo Linqin frowned angrily, and unconsciously began to think about what he had done wrong recently. "No, no, no, no, I didn't do anything wrong, why did I go into the admitting-my-mistakes mode right away!"

"Isn't it because you have something to hide? Let me guess...did you damage someone's house?"

“…Well, it was just an accident, and I wasn’t the mastermind! And I repaired his house in the end, you have no right to blame me!” Zuo Linqin was choked by Meihong’s words and immediately retorted.

"Well, it's all over. I won't come and say anything." Meihong looked at the Terakoya that was already within reach, stopped, and her tone became a little more serious. "Lin Qin, regarding the job at that flower shop... I suggest you give up. The owner of that shop is not an easy person to get along with... I... Huiyin probably doesn't want you to be in danger."

"I...Meihong, the owner's name is Kazami Yuuka, right?" Sarinko paused and asked in a positive tone.

"Have you met her? How did she treat you?" Meihong's heart skipped a beat and she immediately grabbed Zuo Linqin's shoulder to see if there were any wounds.

"…Hey, Meihong~Are you worried about me~?" Zuo Linqin looked at Meihong who suddenly became anxious with a smile, and said in a strange tone, "She didn't do anything to me. Look, she's alive and kicking~"

"Since you can still talk nonsense, I know you are fine." Meihong, who was originally a little panicked, rolled her eyes when she saw Zuo Linqin's look and snorted coldly, "Only a fool would worry about you! Idiot!"

"Obviously there is one... Hey, don't push me!"

"Go in. I'm skipping dinner. I still have work to do in the security team." Meihong turned around and turned back to warn Zuo Linqin, "Although Feng Jianyouxiang has no hostility towards you, it is still not advisable to stay in her territory for long. Find a chance to quit this job... And by the way, call me on the day you resign. I'll help you."

"What? I'm still holding the fort... Can Fengjian Youxiang eat me~?" Zuo Linqin said half-jokingly.

"That's hard to say..." Meihong said coldly, her words passing through the two of them like an icy wind.

"...I, I'll go in first..." Zuo Linqin shuddered, obviously not wanting to discuss this issue with Meihong anymore, and pushed open the door of Terakoya. "Well, bye, don't stay up late at night, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm from Penglai and I won't die suddenly." Meihong shook out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it to her lips.

“…You clearly know that’s not what I meant…” Zuo Linqin complained and slipped into Terako’s house.

"……call."

……

"Kazami Yuuka...what on earth are you thinking about?"

Chapter 30: Start Farming and Upgrading

"Really? From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary flower shop..." Zuo Linqin stood in front of Feng Jianyouxiang's flower shop, feeling a little uneasy. "Although, this street looks so deserted..."

Although the flower shop was located at the edge of the Human World, it did not seem to calm people's hearts. The whole street seemed to be abandoned, with only this flower shop still open.

This made Zuo Linqin wonder, is it true that such a small shop where no one comes at all is short of staff?

"Forget it. It's a blow whether it's horizontal or vertical. The worst that can happen is that I go back dead! What's there to be afraid of?" It seems that after dying once, Zuo Linqin doesn't take death seriously anymore. It's not known whether this mentality is good or bad.

When the curtain was opened, what came into view was a golden world... Countless sunflowers were blooming in clusters, emitting their vitality... and the green-haired beauty who was lying lazily on the chair brought a different color to this golden world.

"How beautiful..." Zuo Linqin uttered a small exclamation, not knowing whether he was praising the beauty of the sunflowers or the individual flowers in the group...

Kazemi Yuuka.

"Are you here?" Just as Zuo Linqin was looking around, Feng Jianyouxiang, who was lying on the chair, opened her eyes, and a scarlet light flashed in her eyes. "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"

"Well... because she's very beautiful." Zuo Linqin was brought back to his senses by Feng Jian Youxiang's words. He shrank his head and dared not move.

"...You came very early. I thought you would be even later, or not come at all." Kazami Yuuka spoke in a flat tone, with no expression on her face, and no emotion could be seen.

"That's because we got up an hour earlier today! Manager, Zuo Linqin is here to report!" Zuo Linqin took a deep breath, then formally made an apology gesture, "I'm very sorry for deceiving you last time!"

"..." Feng Jian Youxiang looked at Zuo Linqin for a long time with her beautiful eyes, and finally the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "I already knew it, don't worry about it. Even if you don't come, I don't care."

"…Eh?"

"Look here, it's very quiet, right?" Feng Jianyouxiang stretched out her hand and pointed outside the store. "Basically no one comes to this street, so naturally no one will buy flowers."

"Besides, I have no intention of selling these children to passers-by." Feng Jianyouxiang gently stroked the sunflowers beside her and said indifferently, "So, I plan to close the store in a few days."

"What about me?" Zuo Linqin was a little embarrassed. In that case, there would be no need for her to come at all.

"Well, that was my original plan." Feng Jianyouxiang narrowed her eyes and said, "But since someone has come to apply for the job, I will naturally keep this store open for a while longer. After all, it was just a hobby."

"I will pay you according to what is written on the remuneration sheet. Human currency has no meaning to me, but I have collected some over the years." Seeing that Zuo Linqin was still standing there in a daze with a silly look on his face, Feng Jianyouxiang shook her head helplessly and said, "It's already working hours. What? Do you have any questions?"

"Yes! There is none left! I will start working right away!" Zuo Linqin saluted and ran out the door. Then he suddenly turned back and asked Feng Jianyouxiang embarrassedly, "Well, I have no experience in this field... What should I do?"

"..." Feng Jian Youxiang stared at Zuo Linqin for a long time in silence, as if considering how reliable Zuo Linqin was. The two of them just stared at each other in silence. After a long while, he said, "Let's move all the flowers out first. They haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time."

"This, so much?"

"Is there a problem~?" There was a hint of playfulness in Yuuka Kazami's words, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"No!" Zuo Linqin wisely didn't continue to argue. He picked up a pot of sunflowers and carried it out.

"Hehe, you reckless guy, don't bump into things. If the flowers are not happy... then you can't leave." Feng Jian Youxiang stroked the petals of the sunflowers and warned Zuo Linqin with a smile.

"stay?"

“Use it as fertilizer for the flowers.”

“……′<_′” Zuo Lin started to work tremblingly.

“…Thanks to the fact that this body is made up of data, it’s great that the stamina bar can recover quickly.” Zuo Linqin wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a breath.

Although I wasn't physically tired, it took quite a while to move all the flowers in the flower shop because there was only one person doing the moving.

"Oh, it's done. For a human being, this speed is worthy of praise." Just when Zuo Linqin finished doing this, Feng Jianyouxiang walked out of the store with elegant steps and said words of praise.

"Hehe, it's arranged nicely, right? Standing here, I feel a sense of peace of mind~" Zuo Linqin stretched out his hand, as if embracing the sea of ​​sunflowers.

"…Yeah, that's true." Feng Jianyouxiang looked around at the arrangement of the flowers, as if there was some unique meaning. Although it was hard to tell, this arrangement allowed the sunflowers to better distribute the sunlight.

"You did a good job. You put your heart into it." Feng Jian Youxiang nodded, opened the parasol and said to Zuo Linqin, "Next, give them some water. They will be very happy."

"Manager, are you going out~?" Zuo Linqin asked casually after seeing Feng Jianyouxiang's posture.

"Since you are here, there is naturally no need for me to watch over them." Feng Jian Youxiang reached out her hand, touched Zuo Linqin's soft hair, and smiled, "Move them in by the evening, and your work will be done."

"Woo..." Zuo Linqin stroked his fur and responded, "I, I understand... Next, just water it! This is so easy!"

"Then you can control it yourself." Feng Jian Youxiang nodded to Zuo Linqin and said goodbye, "Then see you tomorrow...Linqin."

"...I, I understand." Zuo Linqin would never admit that he was actually touched by Fumiaki Youxiang's farewell!

Under the sunlight, the sunflowers sparkle... If you look down from high in the sky, the shape of the sunflowers looks like a pair of glasses with frames...

……

"It's actually not as scary as Meihong said."

After watching Feng Jianyouxiang leave, Zuo Linqin found a tattered watering can behind the flower shop and an almost dried-up ancient well nearby.

"Well, finish it quickly, then you can lie down~" Zuo Linqin hummed a tune from somewhere and sprinkled water evenly on the sunflowers.

Then... Zuo Linqin found that messages started popping up on his head non-stop.

[Experience +1]

『Gold Coin+1』

[Experience +1]

『Gold Coin+1』

...

"…This is a secondary job, right? This is usually the routine in novels, and in the end you become an all-rounder." Zuo Linqin tilted his head. He had gained extra skills through carpentry before. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he did gain some extra experience.

But watering is much easier than building a house. With such an extra surprise, Zuo Linqin was of course very happy.

Why not water the flowers to gain a lot of experience?

However, small tasks like watering the flowers were quickly completed, and there was still a lot of time left. Zuo Linqin also helped loosen the soil for the flowers and catch insects.

So, noon has arrived.

Chapter 31 Huiyin is watching from outside the venue

"Hi, Apple, I'm here to visit you~"

Just when Zuo Linqin was thinking about how to solve the lunch problem, Meihong's voice suddenly came from outside the store, followed by Meihong's exclamation.

"Wow, I saw so many sunflowers from a distance, but I didn't expect there would be even more when I got closer... You are truly Kazami Yuuka..."

"I'm here, Meihong! Uh... why are you dressed like this? Are you being chased by someone?"

Zuo Linqin was about to say hello to Meihong when he walked out of the store, but he saw Meihong's suspicious appearance, with her body almost wrapped up tightly, and he complained speechlessly.

"Shh, keep your voice down. I dressed like this specially to sneak in here." Meihong snorted, crouched down, looked around where no one was, and whispered close to Zuo Linqin's ear, "Is Feng Jianyouxiang not here?"

"No, don't be silly."

"I care about you, and you actually said that to me." Meihong took off the hat and mask on her head and asked Zuo Linqin, "How is it, did Feng Jianyouxiang do anything to you?"

"Why would she do anything to me? I'm getting paid to help her do some manual labor. I'm not doing anything bad. Why are you speculating?" Zuo Linqin rolled his eyes and explained to Meihong, "Don't always think so badly of others. I think the store manager is a good person... um, what a monster."

"Come on, silly apple, a guy who can become a big monster can't have clean hands. Maybe that guy is kind in front of you, but that's just an illusion." Meihong patted Zuo Linqin's head, sighing at the child's ignorance in her heart, and continued to explain, "Now she is interested in you, so she won't do anything to you, but if you do something wrong and make her lose interest in you... I remember that Fengjian Youxiang likes to turn the invaders who enter her flower field into fertilizer... I don't want you, a silly child, to be buried and still stupidly praise others."

"..." As if Feng Jianyouxiang had indeed said something like fertilizer to her, Zuo Linqin shuddered, and pushed Meihong with his muddy hands in dissatisfaction, saying, "Don't try to scare me, and always say it's fertilizer or something... I'll just do my job well, and she won't do anything to me."
