Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field
#5 - Section 5
Chapter 4: The Beginner's Gift Pack for Villagers
A familiar voice sounded from beside him.
Chu Bai turned his head and saw a familiar figure.
“Yo, Reimu, are you done with your work over there?”
“Hmph…”
Reimu crossed her arms, her voice seeming a bit disgruntled:
“I even thought it wasn't quite right to leave you alone, so I specifically braved all sorts of rumors to come back and find you…”
“But it seems you're having a great time chatting with other girls!”
Her tone seemed to contain a hint of sourness.
Chu Bai was shocked.
Crap… Did Reimu think he was slacking off?
Thinking about it, lazy men are unwelcome everywhere. Especially someone who said they were looking for a house but was actually slacking off and chatting with others.
So he quickly came up with an excuse:
“Hey, what are you saying? I was actually busy with important matters.”
“This is Miss Alice from the Self-Defense Force. We were just talking about allocating houses…”
“She's not from the Self-Defense Force!”
Reimu almost couldn't hold it in:
“If you're going to lie, at least find someone I don't know to cooperate, right?”
“Ah, this…”
Chu Bai hurriedly added:
“Actually, Alice and I were helping an elderly grandmother cross the gap…”
“That excuse is just as bad! And why did even a gap appear? It feels like you're subtly implying something about someone!”
Reimu sighed helplessly.
She wasn't jealous, after all, she had only known Chu Bai for less than half a day.
But seeing this man who stole her first kiss, laughing and chatting with another girl right after separating from her…
There was a subtle unpleasant feeling of her belongings being taken by someone else.
Thinking this, Reimu patted her cheeks and readjusted her emotions:
“Forget it, it was indeed my responsibility to leave you because of some inexplicable rumors.”
“Let's go together. I'll take you to get your initial supplies.”
“Okay~ You truly are a magnanimous Reimu.”
Chu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to muddle through.
He waved at Alice:
“I'm leaving now, Little Alice. Remember to visit when you have time.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
Alice waved slightly, watching Chu Bai leave.
After confirming that he couldn't see her, the girl gently covered her chest.
She knew that Chu Bai had been lying continuously to help her conceal the truth that she wasn't good at socializing, thereby diverting the topic.
Although the method was clumsy, it was unexpectedly effective.
“Friend… friend…”
Alice murmured as she returned home, her steps lighter than when she came.
……
……
【★ Exchanged glances with Alice, Points +200】
【★ Gently caressed Alice's body, Points +150】
【★ Made Alice's heart beat faster, Points +100】
【☆ Various ordinary interactions with Alice, Points +17】
【Total: +467 Points】
……
……
The process of receiving supplies went smoothly.
With Reimu's guidance, Chu Bai quickly received his beginner's gift pack.
It contained 500 copper coins, a set of ordinary male villager clothes, a set of defensive weapons consisting of a small knife and a wooden shield, and a primary job certification ticket.
It was said that with the ticket, one could choose from the four identities of farmer, craftsman, merchant, and hunter, and obtain the corresponding initial tools.
It really had the style of an RPG beginner's gift pack…
In addition to these supplies, Chu Bai also received an allocated house.
It was a thatched cottage of about 10 square meters, with an interior decoration that presented a battle-damaged style. The walls and floor tiles also looked tattered, and even the roof had large areas of leakage.
It looked quite bleak, but the only advantage was that it was for single occupancy and completely free.
“In any case, this is my new home.”
Chu Bai looked around his thatched cottage, feeling like he suddenly understood the scenes depicted in "Ode to a Humble Room" and "My Thatched Roof Is Torn by the Autumn Wind."
Reimu was sweating even more: “It's actually more dilapidated than my shrine…”
“Well, it will definitely get better slowly in the future.”
Chu Bai touched the space ring on his finger.
Inside, besides some magical items, there was also wealth he had snatched from others before.
Converted, it should be worth at least a few gold bars:
“When I use this money to engage in financial activities and earn more money.”
“Then don't even mention a thatched cottage, even a small villa with a garden might be bought~”
“Hmph, what naive thoughts.”
Reimu spread her hands and said:
“Let me remind you, in Gensokyo, money isn't that easy to earn.”
“If it were really that easy to get rich, I would have already restored the shrine.”
Chu Bai certainly knew that money wasn't easy to earn.
But coincidentally, his system actually released a formal task.
And the task reward was exactly the points he urgently needed.
【Task Triggered】
【Name: First Steps in Gensokyo (1)】
【Objective: Within one month, earn 10,000 yen of initial capital through legitimate means (cannot directly exchange with existing assets)】
【Reward: Points +2000】
【Task Triggered】
【Name: First Steps in Gensokyo (2)】
【Objective: Within one month, become friends with at least 10 Gensokyo residents】
【Reward: Points +2000】
This was another function of the system, which was to issue tasks.
Completing them could earn generous rewards far exceeding the ordinary.
There would be no penalties for not finishing them, which could be said to be quite humane.
Chu Bai didn't have any obsession with tasks, mainly because he coveted these point rewards.
He already understood that there were fighting maniacs everywhere in Gensokyo, and anyone could cause a big commotion.
So even for self-preservation, he had to obtain these points and quickly buy a more powerful ability.
“I'm going home to rest first.”
Reimu waved her hand:
“You slowly earn money, and don't forget my shrine when you become rich.”
“Don't worry, as the saying goes, don't forget each other when you become rich.”
Chu Bai raised his thumb:
“And during my university years, I participated in lectures and training at the business school.”
“Although I can't guarantee great wealth, earning a little money in Gensokyo is definitely no problem!”
“…Hey, I feel like you've set up a rather dangerous flag.”
Reimu couldn't help but complain.
But thinking about it carefully, Chu Bai had quite a rich initial capital and had received formal lecture training.
Earning just a little money should be no problem, right?
…Should…right…?
Chapter 5: The So-Called Life Is Ups and Downs Down Down Down Down Down
Thus, time flowed by.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
The days of snow became shorter and shorter, replaced by the scent of the approaching spring.
But among the silent mountains, the Hakurei Shrine still exuded a lonely aura, as if it were still winter.
“Ha…”
Reimu held a steaming cup of tea, looking at the scenery outside the window with some loneliness.
Thanks to that gold bar from Chu Bai, Reimu directly renovated the entire shrine and still had a lot left over.
So she happily improved her diet and lived a luxurious life where she could eat meat every three days.
Even when making tea, she no longer used tea stalks, but used cheap but formal tea leaves.
However, the young man who made an appointment with her that day never came back.
“With that guy's brains and skills, it should be easy to get rich.”
“But he hasn't come back once for so long, wouldn't he really forget me…”
Reimu thought viciously:
“When I see him next time, I will definitely fleece him properly!”
Knock knock! Knock knock!
Just as Reimu was thinking wildly, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
