I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

On one hand, she discovered that NPCs in this game do not respawn after they die. What if she keeps killing and killing until everyone is gone? What would be the point of playing the game then?

On the other hand, killing people will deduct reputation points. If your reputation points are too low, you will easily be "hated" by passers-by NPCs when you walk on the street, and everything you do will trigger the "fear" or "fear" mood effects.

She herself doesn't really care about her reputation level, but if most NPCs avoid players, then she won't be able to accept daily quests.

Therefore, she will control her reputation slightly to prevent it from depreciating.

But why does picking up trash result in a reputation deduction if a passing NPC sees you? Players are going to complain!

Recalling the pitfalls she encountered in the game, Zhu Yu sighed: "It was all hard-earned experience!"

For the reasons mentioned above, she usually only attacks NPCs with red names until they are almost dead, leaving them barely alive.

She didn't care whether the red-named NPC lived or died in the end, because there were always more interesting things to attract her attention.

“Hey, but Ms. Kawakami doesn’t seem to mind killing people very much…” Dazai drawled.

I don't mind killing, but I don't want to kill. There must be some interesting reasons behind that.

The line between life and death was not clear in her eyes; at this moment, Dazai was looking at her.

Her two cold, black eyes were empty and lifeless, as if all emotion had been ripped away.

How would she view death?

Dazai was very curious.

Chapter 30 is out!

"Hey, Dazai." Seeing that Dazai's questions were getting more and more pointed, Chuuya interrupted, "If she doesn't want to say more, then don't ask."

Dazai's eyes held a hint of mockery: "Why is Chuuya in such a hurry? Does he really think he's Kawakami-san's good puppy?"

What a strong attack power!

Zhu Yu's pupils trembled.

Chuuya's eyes flashed with fury as he roared, "Dazai!"

Now it was her turn to have her eardrums vibrate.

I regret it, I really regret it.

The once elegant and grand villa was completely destroyed by the explosion. The high ceiling looked as if it had been brutally torn open by a giant hand, exposing broken steel bars and shattered bricks.

Sunlight streamed through the windowpane, illuminating the mess on the floor.

The fireplace still stands by the wall, a fire burning in the hearth. The merciless flames lick at the books that serve as firewood, slowly eroding the paper and devouring the words.

"Ah...it's so cold." In front of the fireplace, Lantang curled up in a chair, staring blankly at the flames, occasionally picking up a book next to him and throwing it into the fire.

Zhu Yu and the other two stood behind him.

Zhu Yu watched as the NPC Dazai skillfully began a conversation with Lantang's wife, who was clearly caught up in a flashback, slowly recounting her experiences.

Great, the moment when NPCs are talking is the perfect time for players to search their base.

Although it's a bit broken, the players don't mind.

Zhu Yu happily and secretly searched every nook and cranny of the room, but unfortunately found nothing.

He quietly ran back and pretended nothing had happened.

He glanced at her, then pretended not to see her. What could he do when she wouldn't listen?

She had originally intended to be an honest person, but as soon as she turned her attention back, a large number of "pickup points" lit up in the pile of books next to Lantang.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she crouched down stealthily, then clicked to pick it up.

[A seemingly ordinary cookbook: It introduces recipes from around the world, helping beginners quickly get started. Give it a try! Using it may increase your chances of successfully making food.]

[A seemingly ordinary gardening book: filled with various garden design examples, it teaches you step-by-step how to become a "Tony the gardener" in the plant world. Don't you want to start your gardening journey right away? Using it may increase your affinity with plants.]

[A third-rate romance novel by a third-rate novelist: She loves him, he loves someone else, and by the time he realizes he loves her, she no longer loves him. The entire story is filled with clichéd and melodramatic love entanglements. One scholar scathingly commented—Yokohama's literary scene is finished. Gifting this item to someone automatically increases their favorability towards you (value between 1-10).]

............

A pile of books of various types, with at least one of the five being a collectible item.

It's out! It's out!

Zhu Yu couldn't suppress the smile on her face as she deftly stuffed all the useful items into her game backpack.

Keep tapping and tapping, and soon there's only one book left.

She reached out her "claws" to it.

Huh? Why can't I take it?

Zhu Yu clicked to pick it up, but did not put the book into his backpack as expected.

Another pair of hands appeared on the other side of the book. Following the hands, she saw that the owner of the hands, Lantang, was staring at her silently with his melancholy eyes.

Hmm... Even if it's Lantang's wife, the players won't back down!

Zhu Yu slowly withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and continued her standoff with Lan Tang, their hands hanging in mid-air.

"Miss, it seems you're holding my book." Lantang noticed that she showed no shame at being caught and lowered his eyes to remind her.

"I really want it, can I buy it from you with money?"

It seemed that pretending to be stupid wouldn't work, so Zhu Yu reluctantly took out his money and stuffed a large wad of banknotes into Lan Tang's hand.

Since she started earning extra money, she quickly paid off her debts, and now she doesn't lack Japanese yen, the universal currency in the game, as much anymore.

It's quite a good deal to be able to buy items that can't be purchased in the store with real money.

Suddenly, a wad of banknotes appeared in Lantang's palm. He froze, and in that moment of distraction, the book in his hand was snatched away. The culprit casually put the book into his backpack, stood up, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Lantang: ...This feeling is so familiar it's almost unbearable.

A smile crept across his face, but his eyes betrayed a clear sense of helplessness: "Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Consider it an apology for my rudeness last time." After all, when they first met, he had used his supernatural abilities to control her, so it wasn't exactly a pleasant first encounter.

As a Frenchman, I feel helpless in the face of such an ungentlemanly act from a lady.

Hmm... does that mean it's free? As expected, Randou's wife is the best!

Zhu Yu quickly retrieved the money, happily circled Lantang several times, and after thinking for a moment, used her special ability to activate several purple irises.

The iris is considered the national flower of France in the real world, so it might also be the national flower of France in this game's setting. Lantang's wife mentioned that he is French, so he would probably like it!

"Thank you, Lantang. I like it very much. Here, it's for you." She held the green stem of the iris and handed him the bunch of newly grown purple irises.

The petals swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.

For Lantang, it was a miracle of life that he witnessed: green shoots emerged from tiny seeds, the stems slowly grew taller, and then flower buds appeared. The flower buds quickly expanded and slowly split open, revealing purple petals that unfolded layer by layer with slightly curled edges, like the hem of a young girl's skirt, elegant and reserved.

Everything happened in an instant.

Only when the rich fragrance of flowers wafted into his nose did he feel as if he were waking from a distant dream, his thoughts slowly returning to reality.

Ah...it's a purple iris. Lantang blinked slowly, instinctively taking the flower. The familiar touch on his fingertips seemed to instantly transport him back to his distant homeland.

Memories surged like a tidal wave, and his emotions rose and fell like the tide.

A silent, slight upturn at the corners of his lips—a serene and gentle smile—he said, "Thank you, I like it too."

Two people with black hair, one tall and one short, one with a slight smile and the other looking up at the sky, looked very harmonious.

The lieutenant general had witnessed the entire scene, and let out a soft snort of dissatisfaction, thinking with a hint of sourness: "Kuzi has never given me flowers, even though we're supposed to be best buddies..."

Dazai watched the scene unfold with a keen eye, clearly observing the expressions on everyone's faces.

"Oh, little dwarf's jealous." Dazai grinned and leaned closer. "Because Socks-chan didn't send you flowers~ You really are a sticky slug."

"You damn mackerel!" Chuuya suddenly sprang to his feet and threw a punch.

"Haha, missed." Dazai nimbly dodged.

"Go to hell——"

Ah... here we go again. Is Zhu Yu's face dead fish-eye?_?

Lantang sighed, "Sigh, it's cold and noisy now..."

*

After leaving Lantang, the three of them wandered aimlessly through the streets.

I forget who suggested going to the arcade first, but they all agreed and randomly picked an arcade on a street corner and went in.

Zhong was also a regular at the arcade, and he quickly got Zhu Yu started playing the game.

Playing games within games—isn't that a kind of nested doll effect? ​​(Cat head universe.jpg)

At first, the three of them were playing their own games in a harmonious atmosphere, but Dazai eventually said that he was getting bored and wanted to play something more exciting.

"If you lose, Chuuya, you'll have to obey my every command like a dog!" Dazai said, pointing to a fighting arcade machine.

"Huh? Who are you looking down on? If you lose, you'll have to obey me completely." Provoked by this, Zhong agreed with a cold laugh. He didn't believe he could lose to this damn mackerel.

While I wouldn't say I'm invincible in the arcade, beating him is more than enough...

More than enough?

Chuuya Nakahara stared at the character who had been knocked out for the third time and fell silent: How did this mackerel win!

"Hahaha, Chuuya lost. Don't forget our promise." Dazai said smugly. "Now what should we call the dog for?"

Hey~ Zhu Yu, who was playing casually at the arcade and focused on playing claw machines, looked at the two of them with admiration.

I'm no match for them when it comes to playing such shameful games in the street.

Zhu Yu was filled with awe.

"Socks, what's with that expression?!" Chuuya keenly noticed her gaze, his hands unconsciously clenching, both embarrassed and annoyed.

Zhu Yu thought for a moment and then answered.

Chapter 31 The tonic is deadly!

“Chuuya and Dazai are very impressive.” She paused, then continued, “They can play master-servant games without caring about anyone else.”

A master-servant game?

Did Kuzi say something incredible?

Chuuya's pupils trembled.

Meanwhile, Dazai Osamu, who was now in the thick of the action, couldn't stand idly by either side. He said in an exaggerated tone, "Hey—how can you say that about me? It's only Chuuya who likes to do that."

"Don't play dumb, you didn't bring it up first!" Chuuya shouted, turning his head, but then he glanced at Shirase and Yuzu, two members of the "Sheep" group, and saw them walking into the arcade.

They can't let them find out that I'm with the Mafia.

He had wanted to argue with Dazai Osamu a bit more, but he immediately shut up and hurriedly crouched down behind the game console, trying to avoid their gaze.

Chuuya's sudden change in attitude naturally did not escape Dazai's notice. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a wicked idea popped into his head.

Dazai Osamu cleared his throat and deliberately shouted Chuuya's name to attract the "Sheep" members. Then he watched with great interest as Chuuya was successfully surrounded by the "Sheep" members.

"What a wicked cat," Zhu Yu thought silently.

Unfortunately, Dazai's good mood gradually faded as he watched Chuuya Nakahara being questioned by the "Sheep" members, and his originally upturned lips slowly drooped down.

The icon above the head turned into gushing black mud, with black bubbles floating out from time to time.

Zhu Yu then watched as he spoke with members of "Sheep," who discovered his Port Mafia identity and threatened him to release his "Sheep" companions.

Zhu Yu thought that Dazai, the NPC, would use his incredibly powerful tongue to teach the "sheep" members a lesson, but she didn't expect...

He actually obediently called and asked them to release him.

Is this right?

Zhu Yu was somewhat bewildered.

Shirase and Yuzu were also clearly bewildered, but knowing that their companion had been released, they didn't have much time to think about what kind of scheme this person was plotting.
