In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Che took a deep breath. The rewards for completing this dungeon were truly too generous, both in quantity and quality.

The five options lined up, making it difficult for him to make a choice.

However, the first thing that can be ruled out is the first one.

800 soul ash may sound like a lot, more than all the soul ash Uesugi Tetsu has earned so far, but in reality it is nothing - it can't even cover the cost of two ten-draws.

What's more, who can guarantee that two ten-draw combos will result in the three-tailed fox being drawn from the card pool?

Therefore, the soul ash rewards that only short-sighted people or gamblers would choose should be excluded first.

Next is the second one, which increases the rarity of walking identity.

To be honest, the identity of walking, which can trigger special events, has indeed brought him a lot of benefits.

Whether it was the blacksmith who promised to forge weapons for him, or the fragments of the Great Onmyoji given by the social animal netizen, or the five-tailed fox he met in Edo Castle...

These are the conveniences brought by the walking identity.

However, on the other hand, Uesugi Tetsu also suspected that the reason why Aibieli came to him and Ririko was also due to his walking identity.

Otherwise, how could Aibieli ignore so many big shots and target these two little Karamis.

But in general - the benefits of walking far outweigh the disadvantages.

However, this time you can only choose two out of five, so Uesugi Tetsu decided to put it in the alternative options first and see what the rewards are later before making a decision.

Option three, bring a random skill...

It was another gambler's option. Knowing that he was extremely unlucky, Uesugi Tetsu passed it at a glance, and then his eyes lit up when he saw option four.

—Reducing skill proficiency? This would be very beneficial for the natural rational flow.

So, how much exactly is it?

The panel gave the answer - [one third].

Uesugi Tetsu's throat rolled. As long as he chose this option now, his natural rational flow would immediately reach the proficient level.

Likewise, the proficiency required for the next level up drops from a possible 1000 to 666.

This option will bring greater benefits as time goes on!

Uesugi Tetsu almost wanted to choose it, but the word "epic" in the fifth option hit his eyes mercilessly.

Uesugi Tetsu had no choice but to fall in love with someone else.

——First use "White Prajna's Mask", then choose option 5 to directly increase the quality of Laughing Prajna from the ubiquitous "Super Excellent" to the noble "Epic"!

At this stage, Laughing Prajna is the foundation of his life. It can be said that the stronger Laughing Prajna is, the faster Uesugi Che will become stronger!

So there is no need to hesitate about this route, just lock on option five as the first option!

So, what should I choose for the second reward?

The left hand is a special item that can increase the rarity of the walking identity, while the right hand reduces the required proficiency for upgrading, which has extremely high benefits in the long run.

Both play an important role in long-term development.

Uesugi Tetsu felt deeply conflicted - why couldn't he choose both?

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open heavily, and a black-haired and black-eyed boy with a gloomy face walked out.

"It looks like you two are recovering well."

The young man curled his lips and spread his hands: "It seems that my unnecessary existence is no longer needed."

Uesugi Tetsu stared at him and exclaimed, "Akira Kurosaki, the Yin-Yang master of the Arakawa district?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shangshan Che.

"Who are you? How dare you know me?"

How could Uesugi Tetsu not know Nanjo Aimi's colleagues - rather, he had specifically asked her for a list and memorized all the Onmyojis and their followers in the Arakawa District.

In response to Nanjo Aimi's question at the time, Uesugi Tetsu's answer was to be prepared for any eventuality.

Well, it comes in handy right now.

Uesugi Tetsu seriously asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time:

"——Kurosaki-kun, do you know where Nanjo-san is now?"

Chapter 48

"Before asking others questions, it's better to state your name first."

Kurosaki Akira snorted and crossed his arms across his chest. Judging from his expression, he looked like a bad boy.

Uesugi Tetsu opened his mouth to say his name, and then saw the boy's expression gradually twisted, his eyes widened exaggeratedly,

"——Are you the genius that Nanjo mentioned, a once-in-a-millennium genius?"

what?

Genius? Me?

Uesugi Tetsu was completely confused.

"Since you are the Uesugi Tetsu, there is no harm in telling you this little bit of news."

After coughing twice, Kurosaki Akira retracted his expression of shock and disbelief, but just when he was about to speak, a "dong dong dong" sound echoed from the mirror next to him.

Uesugi Tetsu rolled his pupils vigilantly, jumped off the hospital bed, blocked Kitano Runa behind him, and vaguely made the gesture of drawing his sword.

Is Kitano-san's physique really that strong?

Bai Prajna had just left, and another one appeared from the mirror right after? After the first wave, wouldn't I have to worry about encountering ghosts every day...

"Oh, I forgot to mention that."

Kurosaki Akira tapped the mirror with his fingers, and a figure dressed in white, with blurred features and disheveled hair, emerged. "Let me introduce you. This is my Shikigami. I bow right."

God formula?

Bowing to the right seems to be a very famous strange story on the forum.

Uesugi Che stopped his action and looked at the "right bow" that gave his skin a faint tingling sensation, and two and a half stars appeared above his head.

As expected of a Yin-Yang Element, any of its Shikigami are above two stars.

Then, he saw You Jue bowed and whispered something in Kurosaki Akira's ear, causing the boy to look at Kitano Runa: "Hey, big idiot, your mother's condition has stabilized. She will be transferred to the general ward soon. She just needs to rest for a few days."

Uesugi Tetsu: "Her name is Kitano Runa."

"Huh?" Kurosaki Akira raised an eyebrow. "I don't care to call her Kitano, Ru, or Na. An ordinary person with some exorcism tools dares to confront a strange story. What kind of idiot is that?"

Isn't this all memorized? What's this new era alternative tsundere thing?

Uesugi Tetsu thought about it again and found that what he said was absolutely right, so he agreed: "It seems to make sense."

Kitano Runa laughed awkwardly, as she was too embarrassed to refute a stranger's words.

"Regarding the Nanjo incident you just mentioned, Uesugi-kun, I can only tell you that they went to wipe out the Friendship Club's headquarters. Judging by the time, it's probably over."

Kurosaki Akira's face was filled with displeasure: "Come to think of it, I was originally here to collect some merits, but after this idiot incident, I had no choice but to rush over."

The headquarters of the Friendship Club?

Uesugi Tetsu was stunned: "Is this true?"

The huge shadow that had been bothering him and Lilizi was actually so easily destroyed by the Special Affairs Department?

It seems that Aibieli is behind the club. Will she watch this happen?

wrong.

Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes - the Kurosaki Akira in front of him didn't look like he knew the news of Ai's separation.

"What good would it do me to lie to you?" Kurosaki Akira waved his hand dismissively. "This was originally Nanjo's job, and he was just playing it safe at the last minute."

"There are many similar things in Tokyo."

Judging from his expression, he doesn't take the Friendship Club seriously at all.

"If it's so easy, why not destroy it earlier?"

Uesugi Tetsu frowned.

Kurosaki Akira scoffed. "So, the rats in your house are easy to kill, but are they that easy to find?"

The boy glanced at his watch and said, "If everything is ok, I'll leave first."

Uesugi Tetsu pondered and nodded slowly: "I understand, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

——For the specific situation, I’d better wait until I meet Nanjo-san and ask her.

"It's just a small thing. No thanks."

Kurosaki Akira put his hands in his pockets, grinned at him, and said expectantly: "I hope you can give me a surprise when we meet next time, Mr. Genius."

After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out while humming a vigorous song from the Showa era, while Right Bow slowly bowed to the right and disappeared into the mirror again.

After Kurosaki Akira disappeared, Kitano Runa asked, "Uesugi-san, what were you talking about just now?"

Uesugi Tetsu pondered, then shook his head and said exactly the same words as Nanjo Aimi at that time,

“Ordinary people shouldn’t be exposed to this.”

Even though Kitano Runa has a special physique, it is better for her to have less contact with the other side of the world for the time being.

Kitano Runa smacked her lips and said, "Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'll ask Mafuyu-san later."

Uesugi Tetsu ignored her. It didn't matter if Shizuma Manfuyu was willing to tell her these things. His warning was simply out of kindness because the other party was Ririko's best friend.

——Kitano Runa is different from him and Ririko. She is an ordinary person who is truly powerless. If he had come a step later today, Kitano Runa would have been buried in the ground now.

But Uesugi Tetsu won’t care about most things, because he is not Kitano Runa’s father.

And because of Kurosaki Akira's intervention, after a long period of thinking, Uesugi Tetsu finally made the final decision among the five rewards.

[You have chosen Reward 2, Reward 5! ]

That’s right, in the end, Uesugi Tetsu decided to choose props related to his walking identity first.

As for reducing skill proficiency, this can be put aside for now.

After all, unlike the walking status that cannot be promoted by other means, the level of skills can be raised through hard work.

Uesugi Tetsu, the thing he has the most is liver!

[Rewards are being distributed...]

[You have obtained the "Walking" identity mission item - Broken Walking Token (special item)]

[Broken Walking Token (Special Item)]

[Quality: None]

[It has been detected that the quality of your demon incarnation, Laughing Prajna, has not reached "rare", and the reward is temporarily stored.]

[Once the quality of your demon incarnation, Laughing Prajna, reaches "Rare", rewards will be issued as usual.]

A very humane reward - Uesugi Tetsu was afraid that the quality improvement of Laughing Prajna would cause visible effects, so he did not use the mask of White Prajna in the hospital for the time being.

"Kitano-san, how about we..."

The prompt that popped up again in front of him interrupted Uesugi Tetsu's words and made him give up the idea of "traveling with Kitano Runa to see if he can encounter the moving soul ash again."

[Because you have completed all the tasks in the current area "Arakawa Haunted Village", the "Area Unlock Task" has been released! ]

[Region Unlock Mission: Late Night Call]

Uesugi Tetsu laughed: "This is truly a name that is so famous that it is known everywhere..."
