In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The effect of Ershaku-sama's communication skills, coupled with his friendly aura, seems to be beyond imagination.

"then you go."

The two-foot-tall man scurried to the back of the van and got into the trunk.

As soon as Uesugi Tetsu squeezed into the car, he heard excited whispers from behind -

"Xiao Ru, do you want to start a game?"

"Ranked, top division, 60 people!"

"open!"

"Two feet, here comes the machine!"

When he saw Nu Nu quickly take the phone from Er Chi Da Ren's hand and then use her black hair to block the light, he sat in the middle of the aisle, deep in thought.

This just happened to block Nanjo Aimi's view of the back.

So Uesugi Tetsu immediately felt his heartstrings being plucked and felt the angry praise from Master Nishaku.

He rolled his eyes back.

——How could I not know what you guys are thinking?

Accompanied by the slightly hoarse roar of the van, Shizuma Manatsu started the engine and stepped on the accelerator.

"Ms. Xiaoyue."

Nanjo Ai's voice came from the front: "Since you've come to the Special Affairs Office, you'll naturally be responsible for some corresponding light-intensity work. Are you willing to accept this?"

Xiao Yuelan: "Just as long as Nanjo-sama doesn't treat me like a superman, that's all that's fine."

Hearing this answer, Shizuma Manatsu, who was driving, kept her expression unchanged, but she was almost smiling in her heart - after so many days, there was finally someone who could share her work!

The van slowly left Yokohama City and headed towards Arakawa District, filled with people laughing and talking happily.

……

"Congratulations."

Hearing the familiar voice, Uesugi Tetsu, who was about to open the panel prompt, discovered that Lilizi was actually sitting next to him.

In fact, he had been curled up in the corner behind the seat of the van with his legs hunched over.

Ririkko placed a notebook with an old cover on her knees. She had just noticed that Uesugi Tetsu was sitting in front of her, so she spoke directly.

Uesugi Tetsu blinked and looked at the girl who was frowning but didn't realize it at all: "Lilizi, if you are doing research, I won't bother you anymore."

"Ah."

Lilizi responded, "It's a very important and complicated matter. Although I can learn from it, I still don't understand much."

Uesugi Toru stopped talking.

The communication between the two was as efficient and brief as ever.

Seeing that Ririkos lowered her eyes again, Uesugi Tetsu shifted his gaze to the transaction reminder from Hyakumeki, to which he had not responded for a long time.

["Hundred Eyes Demon" has submitted a transaction request to you. ]

Uesugi Tetsu clicked on the prompt with his mind.

The next moment, the Edo City card pool suddenly opened.

The black-haired, hundred-eyed demon loli, who had been waiting impatiently and had even started squatting on the ground to sort some small garbage into different categories, suddenly raised her head and gave him a vicious look.

The prompt pops up again.

[Hyakumoku's Requirement: 2 Hyakumoku's Eyeballs, 1000 Soul Ashes]

Two eyeballs, a thousand soul ashes.

Uesugi Che thought that she had probably digested the three big eyeballs from last time, so she came to him to ask for... a thousand soul ashes, which was not too much.

Let's see what she can give me first!

[You can obtain: a strange metal that Baimugui has never seen before.]

What kind of weird item name is this?

In the card pool, Baimugui Loli took out the trading item she had prepared long ago from the darkness under her skirt.

She spread out her hands and showed Shangshan Che a small golden ball with a faint glow in her palm.

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden ball——

[Strange metal that Baimugui has never seen (to be identified)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: Forging it with weapons and equipment will produce several unknown beneficial effects based on the current properties of the weapons and equipment.]

[——This is a strange metal. Even the Hyakumeki, who has lived for so many years, has never seen it before. But it seems to be of very high quality.]

Epic forging materials!

Uesugi Che suddenly became alert.

He carefully scanned the prompt panel of the metal ball several times, and then moved the eyeballs and soul ashes in the storage backpack to the trading box without hesitation.

——It’s obvious that this is high-level material that can continue to buff Kaga Kiyomitsu, so there is no need to hesitate at all.

One thousand soul ash points can be exchanged for a piece of epic material, which is a huge profit.

Normally, even if you use 1,500 soul ash points to draw ten times, it is almost impossible to draw an epic item, let alone an epic item that is useful to you.

Hyakumeki Loli didn't seem to expect Uesugi Tetsu to be so decisive, so she hesitated for a moment before placing the ball into the trading box.

Then she smiled with satisfaction, stuffed the two big eyeballs directly into her mouth, closed her eyes and fell asleep on the spot.

[You have obtained a strange metal that Baimugui has never seen before (to be identified)! ]

hiss……

Uesugi Che stared at the three words "pending identification" at the back and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Not to mention that this material has not been identified yet, even if he uses the non-existent great identification technique now, he will not be able to combine it with Kaga Kiyomitsu.

Because, Uesugi Tetsu doesn't know how to forge at all!

The previous Ashigaru essence was not used for this reason.

And now the old blacksmith has long disappeared, and Zashiki-warashi has already embarked on a journey alone.

If I want to find Sheng Hai, I don’t seem to have enough soul ashes in my pocket right now.

and so--

"Nanjo-san, is there any skilled forger in the Special Affairs Office?" Uesugi Tetsu asked. "I'd like to imbue my sword with spirit, and I have a few items to repair."

He was talking about it, of course, because the lightning had damaged the priest's robe and the blood-stained crown.

Uesugi Tetsu heard Nanjo Aimi sigh,

"If you had just looked at the employee list posted on the first floor when you entered the Special Affairs Office, you wouldn't have asked this question, would you?"

Staff list?

Uesugi Tetsu scratched his head. He seemed to have never stayed on the first floor before, so he had never noticed such things.

Nanjo Aishi: "If you need anything, I can make an appointment for you now."

"Excuse me, Nanjo-san."

After hesitating for a while, Uesugi Tetsu took out his cell phone and asked Nanjo Aimi.

[Tsukisana-chan: Nanjo-san, are there any craftsmen called "Tiangong" in the Special Affairs Office? ]

Seeing the message pop up on her phone, Nanjo Aimi's fingers paused. After helping Uesugi Tetsu make an appointment, she was silent for a while and then replied.

[Nanjo Aimi: Tiangong is an extremely rare existence. Sometimes, even one may not appear in an entire era. Naturally, there are currently no such people in the Special Affairs Department.]

[Nanjo Aimi: It is said that there is another one in the Onmyoji Ryo, but I don’t know if he is still alive.]

[Nanjo Aimi: However, ordinary spirit inlays are no problem for repairing weapons, even the sword in your hand.]

【Tsukisa-chan: I understand. 】

Uesugi Tetsu put down his phone and finally understood why the old blacksmith could casually put out a large number of epic weapons for sale, and why Zashiki-warashi was wearing a set of glittering golden equipment.

It turns out that Tiangong is such a rare profession.

The probability was so small, yet I actually encountered it in the Novice Village.

A few hours later.

The van first stopped in front of Uesugi Tetsu's house - because Ririko said she wanted to go home and continue her research quietly.

When getting off the car, Lilizi, whose face and eyes were obviously tired, said to him,

"Uesugi-kun, I'll have something to tell you about breathing techniques when we get back later."

She thought about it and emphasized it very rarely.

"Very important."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded seriously.

It seems that this is related to the notebook she had carefully read before.

There is definitely nothing as simple as these three words that can make Lilizi say "very important" in terms of cultivation.

He kept this incident in mind.

After watching Lilizi open the door and go home, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly heard Xiao Yuelan's faint voice from behind him.

"So Uesugi-kun lives here? I'll remember that..."

Uesugi Tetsu immediately got goosebumps on his back - bad, he was being targeted by a female pervert.

He wanted to say that if you dare to come, he would beat you to the ground so hard that you can't get up.

But after a moment of thought, Uesugi Tetsu thought, maybe this is what Xiaoyue Lan was aiming for?

Wouldn't that mean he fell into a trap and satisfied the other party?

Judging from Xiao Yuelan's sinister assassination tactics during the real sword test, this idea is quite credible.

Therefore, Uesugi Tetsu turned his head as if he didn't hear it and ignored Xiao Yuelan who was standing right next to him.

Next, the overloaded van wobbled to the entrance of the Special Affairs Office and was parked in the parking lot by the stunned security guards.

As soon as they arrived at the Special Affairs Office, everyone who was summoned by Nanjo Aishi to watch the real sword test immediately split up.

——They already had things to do and unfinished cultivation.

Maki Hitomi and Hattori Ayako went to study Yin-Yang magic together; Akechi Yuya bowed to Uesugi Tetsu again and said that he wanted to gain practical experience; the three big operators had to report on their work to their direct superiors; Shizuma Manatsu had to help Nanjo Aimi submit the accumulated reports as usual.

So in just a moment, the area around the van became deserted.

Upon seeing this, Erchisama immediately poked the wet girl who was still in the single row, and took the phone from her hand as she trembled suddenly, thus preventing the latter from having to kneel on the washboard again.

Nu Nu took a deep breath, and with tears in her eyes she picked up Er Chi Da Ren and held her intimately in his vast arms.

"Let's go."

Nanjo Aimi, with Kohiwabo on her head, waved at them.

Uesugi Che listened to the footsteps following behind him and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xiaoyue, what are you following me for?"

Xiao Yuelan replied in a rare, normal tone, "Isn't this just about getting familiar with the daily work environment with my future boss?"

Uesugi Che thought about this for a moment and found that she really had no problem this time.

Doesn't that make me seem like I'm overthinking?

Tsk, forget it.

I don't bother with her.

If Xiao Yuelan really wants to do something wrong in the future, just beat her up first and then let Lord Erchi concoct some anesthetic to numb her.

Anyway, whether Xiao Yuelan felt pain or pleasure when being beaten was none of his business...

With this mentality, Uesugi Tetsu followed Nanjo Aimi all the way, and after going through layers of strict verification, he arrived at the room where the monsters prepared for him were imprisoned.

Sitting at the door was a somewhat unexpected person.
