After all, the memories he obtained didn't show anyone specializing in ketchup or anything like that.

It’s nothing special, but it’s a bit disappointing that my first time eating omelet rice didn’t have the almost standard ketchup…

Oh, I got it!

Xiangbei took out the Wanbao Hammer from the shadow, drew a suggested formation out of thin air, and then shook the Wanbao Hammer.

"In exchange for a portion of my magical power, give me a bottle of ketchup, thank you."

With that, a bottle of ketchup appeared out of thin air on the dining table, causing the two girls' eyes to widen.

"This is..." Fujiwara no Moeko asked hesitantly, "The secret treasure of the dwarf people?"

"Huh? You know." Xiangbei was a little surprised.

"Yes, this is indeed the secret treasure I "borrowed" from the dwarfs in my world. I also found the correct way to use it from the ghosts."

"Now, as you can see, I can grant small wishes without paying any price... like this bottle of ketchup I summoned."

"That's a really useful tool."

Yakumo Hong sighed, stood up and reached for the ketchup on the table: "Perfect, pour this on the omurice, it will be authentic... eh?"

I felt empty.

The girl looked up and saw Xiangbei holding the bottle of ketchup she wanted in his hand, with a malicious smile on his face.

"Well, that..." A feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart, and Yakumo Hong forced a smile and looked at Xiangbei.

"Hong, you know."

Xiangbei said earnestly.

"When eating omurice with ketchup, how can we not perform a magic trick to make it delicious? Isn't that right?"

"Hmm, Hmm?!"

Two blushes appeared on Yakumo Kurenai's face.

"Hey, Xiaohong, you can do this kind of magic?"

Fujiwara no Mokou exclaimed.

"I've never heard of it before. If possible, please let me see it!"

"Look, Meihong said so." Xiangbei encouraged from the side.

"Don't be shy. Besides, you're the chef of this dish. How can you not complete the entire cooking process? Isn't that right?"

"This...this..." Yakumo Hong felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, her eyes wandered, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

Wow wow wow, this this this this this... How is it possible to do this! This is too embarrassing!

However, looking at Meihong's expectant eyes and Xiangbei saying that she wanted to see... an irresistible motivation rose in the girl's heart.

Seeing that the joke was almost over, Xiangbei put the ketchup back on the table.

"Well, open..."

"I-I know!"

Grabbing the ketchup on the table, the girl walked to the north side, gently held the ketchup bottle with her fingers, tilted the bottle carefully, and slowly poured out the red sauce.

Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. The girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath... her brain was a little out of order.

Oh, um...how do you draw ketchup?

You draw a heart, right? And then write your name or the customer's name?

But Xiangbei is not a customer, so drawing a heart should be enough... right?

Well, that should be it. After quickly painting the pattern and saying the lines, you can be done!

The girl slowly opened her eyes, a hint of determination in her eyes, and began to squeeze ketchup on one side of the omurice. Her fingers moved gently, and the bright red color slowly flowed on the golden egg skin, outlining a perfect heart shape.

After drawing the pattern, Yakumo Hong placed the bottle on the table, made a heart shape with her hands, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Beautiful, delicious しくな~れ! Cute, cute, キューン!" (Become delicious! Cute, cute, cute!)"

What a wonderful magic! Those of you with witch vision must have seen a heart-shaped flying object shoot out from the girl's hand and land in the omurice.

The girl closed her eyes tightly, her face turned red with shame, and even steam began to come out of her head.

The scene was silent. It took a long time for Xiangbei and Meihong to react.

The two looked at each other and clapped at the same time.

"Ah, ah, so this is the magic that makes omurice delicious! This is amazing! I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Yes, yes, you're so dedicated to completing the entire process even though you're shy!"

Perhaps the two of them had good intentions, but their words ultimately became the straw that broke the camel's back.

No, I can’t do that anymore… It’s too embarrassing…

The girl whimpered, covered her face with her hands and squatted down. Her cheeks were so hot that you could use them to fry eggs.

Seeing Yakumo Hong become like this, the two of them immediately panicked and didn't even bother to eat. They gathered around to comfort Xiaohong... if their words could indeed be considered comforting.

But no matter what, Yakumo Ben's special love-made delicious magic version of omurice is ready!

It's gratifying, it's gratifying...

……

……

It took longer to comfort the girl than to eat, so much so that the omelet rice was a little cold.

But it was still delicious... The only drawback was that the heart-shaped ketchup didn't have enough ingredients, so it felt a bit lacking.

But... I always feel that if I add some more ketchup now, something bad might happen.

He glanced at Yakumo Hong without leaving a trace. She looked angry... well, she looked angry and was eating omurice fiercely, but it seemed that she was not eating omurice but something else.

Although he finally calmed the girl down, she still didn't seem to be willing to forgive him.

I can only wait for her to calm down, and then I can decide whether to buy her something... But there's nothing to buy in Gensokyo right now.

He scooped up a spoonful of omurice and put it into his mouth. While eating, Xiangbei was thinking about how to calm the girl down.

Hmm, there’s still not enough ketchup… I’ll let Xiaohong write another name for me next time.

If she's still willing to make omurice for me.

Xiangbei thought so.

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 228: Hakurei Miko

After showing off the egg-wrapped rice, the group set off.

Today is the day for Yakumo Kurenai to inherit the power of Hakurei. She needs to go to the Hakurei Shrine. Under the witness of Master Xuan and the Yin-Yang Jade, Yakumo Yukari will hold a ceremony to allow the power of Hakurei to be completely integrated into Yakumo Kurenai, thus completely transforming the girl into the Hakurei shrine maiden of Gensokyo.

Xiangbei has been absorbing Yakumo Yukari's memories in the past two days, and he has taken over all the memories in this regard. Therefore, there is no problem for him to control the inheritance ceremony of Hakurei's power.

"Then I'll trouble Meihong to look after the house."

It was not appropriate to let the girl inherit Hakurei's power and participate in the identity of Fujiwara no Mokou this time, so after changing into Yakumo Yukari's body, Xiangbei asked her to wait at home.

"Oh, no problem. If any foolish person tries to break in, or if there are any thieves or something like that, I will kick them out without hesitation!"

"That's good."

After asking Meihong, Xiangbei looked at Yakumohong on the side.

Seeing Xiangbei's gaze, Yakumo Hong turned her face away and didn't look at him.

It looks like the girl is still angry... It turns out that taking a joke too far is not a good thing...

Xiangbei felt a little regretful. Although it was worth it to see the girl say that the magic that made omelet rice delicious was worth it, it was not worth it if it made her unhappy.

But I can only compensate her later. It’s still early and necessary to do it now.

He opened a gap and walked into it, followed closely by Yakumo Hong. Although she still seemed not very used to the gap, she still followed closely behind Xiangbei without falling behind.

Passing through the gap, they soon arrived at the Hakurei Shrine. The shrine seemed unusually quiet, devoid of its usual bustle. The sun still filtered through the treetops, casting a shadow over the ancient shrine, but it seemed a bit more lonely.

"We're here." Xiangbei said softly.

Yakumo Hong did not respond, but her pace slowed down significantly. Her eyes wandered to every corner of the shrine, and she seemed particularly curious about this place where she might live in the future.

"Master Xuan, Yin-Yang Jade, we are here." Xiangbei shouted towards the inside of the shrine, and his voice echoed in the empty shrine.

"Here it comes..." An old voice came from the shrine, and an old turtle flew out of the shrine with a yin-yang jade on its back.

However, Master Xuan looked very tired. Only when he saw the two of them coming did he force out a smile.

"It's Yukari, and this... this girl is the new Hakurei Miko, right?"

"Yes."

Xiangbei patted the girl's shoulder and said, "This is Yakumo Hong, a junior I just accepted. She will also be the one who will become the Hakurei shrine maiden of this generation."

"Yakumo?"

Mr. Xuan was stunned.

"Her last name is Yakumo? And you let her take the position of Hakurei shrine maiden... Yakumo Yukari, are you really willing to let her go?"

"Don't worry about that." Xiang Bei knew what Master Xuan was worried about.

After possessing Yakumo Yukari's memories, Xiangbei discovered that the setting of Hakurei's power in this world still adopted the setting of Gensokyo players.

If you want to become a Hakurei shrine maiden, you must first possess a certain talent. It is impossible to just find a human from the street to perform the duties of a shrine maiden.

Yakumo Hong definitely meets this condition. After all, she has a system, so it is naturally no problem for her to complete this content.

Only after becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden will the real test begin.

In the history of Gensokyo, Hakurei shrine maidens generally do not live long. The longest one can live to be thirty or forty years old, while the shortest one can die in his twenties.

This is all because of the sacrifices that the Hakurei shrine maidens must make in order to maintain the Hakurei Great Barrier... Because the Hakurei Great Barrier is not a perpetual motion machine that can exist forever and maintain its effect, it needs energy replenishment, and the energy that replenishes it is the Hakurei shrine maidens of each generation.

After becoming Hakurei shrine maidens, they are able to generate and control a certain amount of Hakurei power in their bodies. Hakurei power is the main energy source for maintaining the Hakurei Great Barrier. However, the speed at which this Hakurei power is generated is too weak to maintain the Great Barrier.

Therefore, every generation of Hakurei shrine maidens needs to sacrifice themselves and transform themselves into Hakurei power to generate a large amount of Hakurei power and put it all into the Hakurei Great Barrier to maintain the normal operation of the barrier.

Among them, compared with any other generation of Hakurei shrine maidens, the first generation of Hakurei shrine maidens has the shortest lifespan... After all, other Hakurei shrine maidens can basically live to their twenties or thirties. According to Gensokyo's current rule that people become adults at the age of 15, theoretically, Hakurei shrine maidens can still give birth to children and become wives (although such examples are extremely rare), but the first generation of Hakurei shrine maiden, Hakurei Reimu, was only less than seventeen years old.

Moreover, the death of the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden was also very heroic compared to other Hakurei shrine maidens. Other Hakurei shrine maidens only transformed the power of Hakurei at the cost of death, and their souls could be reborn through reincarnation.

But it is different for the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden. In order to create the Hakurei Great Barrier, the amount of Hakurei power required is much greater than the amount of Hakurei power required by other Hakurei shrine maidens to maintain the great barrier. Therefore, in addition to sacrificing her own death, the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden also needs to put her own soul into it.

In other words, other Hakurei shrine maidens can be reincarnated, but the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden will fall into a state where her soul is completely shattered and she will never be able to escape into reincarnation.

Of course, it's not impossible to reincarnate forever. You just need to stay in Sanzu River for a few hundred years with a broken soul, and wait for the soul to be repaired, and then you can reincarnate.

Therefore, Hakurei Reimu's ending can be said to be doomed. Even if she was not killed by Yakumo Beni, she would have to die in order to establish the Hakurei Great Barrier in another year, and even have to endure hundreds of years of lonely hell wandering in the form of a soul, unable to communicate with others.

However, if a young girl were to serve as the Hakurei shrine maiden, this problem would be easily solved.

Thanks to the system, Yakumo Hong can use various skills, such as manic high-speed flying body, magic sealing array, etc., but the energy consumed by these skills is different. For example, manic high-speed flying body is Yakumo Yukari's skill, and the energy consumed is demonic power. Magic sealing array is Hakurei Reimu's skill, and the energy consumed is spiritual power.

For the girl, no matter what kind of skills, no matter what kind of energy is required, whether it is demonic power, spiritual power, or magic power, as long as she has learned it and can use it, what is consumed is her own "MP".

In other words, the girl's blue bar can be replaced by any kind of energy, including the power of Hakurei.

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 229: Hakureihong

Yakumo Hong's MP can be said to be a universal energy source. No matter what moves she uses, even skills like the Dragon God's Golden Dragon Claw that contain the power of laws, she can also use her MP to release them.

Therefore, Yakumo Beni is the most suitable person to serve as the Hakurei shrine maiden. She does not need to sacrifice her life like other Hakurei shrine maidens, nor does she need to sacrifice her soul like the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden.

The power of Hakurei is difficult to create and condense, which is the fundamental reason why the Hakurei shrine maiden needs to sacrifice her life, but Yakumo Hong does not need to do that. For her, to create the power of Hakurei, she only needs to use her own MP.

In other words, all that is needed is the most ordinary blue bottle to help Yakumo Hong restore her MP, or to find some device that can be used to store energy so that Yakumo Hong can continuously supply her MP, and then the Hakurei Great Barrier can be successfully established without any casualties.

The blue bottle is not difficult to find. In the original book, you can easily get it by looking for Yagi Eirin... Even if Yagi Eirin is on the moon now, Xiangbei can still stroll to the neighboring Demon Realm to bring back a few more bottles.

If you find it troublesome, you can also use energy storage equipment. Xiangbei happens to have one in his hand. If necessary, he can take this opportunity to make a few more.

"I can't go into detail... but I can reveal that this girl possesses a special quality, and after becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden, she was able to use this quality to gather a large amount of Hakurei power on her own."

Xiangbei explained to Master Xuan.
