In the anime, I become stronger by eating myself

After going around the mountain, the road around seems to be passable, but in fact it is no longer passable. Going forward will lead to the outside world.

As for what was on the top of the mountain, Luo Zhen did not observe it in advance, but he had a rough idea of ​​it.

It is a must-visit spot in Gensokyo.

The mountain is not high. You can see the top of the mountain after walking along the road for a while. A shrine that looks old and a little shabby stands there in the distance.

Continuing forward, Luo Zhen saw the torii gate of the shrine.

A typical island country style. Well, only in an island country is there such a thing as a shrine. The full name is Hakurei Shrine.

A shrine located at the easternmost part of Gensokyo, on the edge of the Hakurei Great Barrier.

Existing both inside and outside the barrier.

Looking outside the barrier, it is a small shrine located deep in the mountains that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Looking from within the barrier, it is still small and old.

The torii gate had not been repaired for who knows how long. The bright red pillars looked mottled and had obviously faded in color. The surrounding houses were obviously in disrepair.

But there are some people living here, and you can tell that there are people living here.

What god is enshrined in this shrine?

Actually, Luo Zhen didn't know the answer to this question.

Not only is it not accurately mentioned in the setting of the Hakurei Shrine, but also because even the shrine maidens themselves don't know.

But if I have to say one thing, Luo Zhen thinks that the god of poverty is worshipped here, and he is willing to call this place the Boli Poor Society.

Walking through the Torii gate, you enter the interior of the shrine.

Although the place is not big, it still has basic facilities, including the main hall, the small square in front of the hall, and small houses that are more like residential houses than the side halls.

Gensokyo should be in the autumnal equinox season at this time.

In the square in front of the temple, fallen leaves were piled up, gathered together, just gathered together.

Compared with all these, the most eye-catching thing is the pretty girl in red and white shrine maiden costume sitting on the steps of the main hall.

Holding a worn-out teacup, he leaned on the handrail of the stairs, staring blankly up at the sky.

The girl looked young, pretty and charming, probably only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, with a hint of childishness still on her face.

The red and white shrine maiden costume wrapped around the girl's thin body.

Whether it is the white calf exposed from under the shrine maiden's costume or the wrist exposed from the sleeves, it can be seen that the girl is very thin, even a little malnourished.

Fortunately, the girl can be considered to be naturally beautiful.

Although she is a little thin, it still can't conceal her charm. Her black hair and tender skin are still as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

It's this temperament...

Fourteen or fifteen years old is the period when boys are most energetic and can do anything.

It is no different when used on girls, but it is used in different places than boys.

What about this red and white witch?

He looks just like an old man who is about to die, and the feeling of laziness is emanating from him from the first moment you see him.

Look up at the sky?

No, she was just in a daze.

His eyes were dazed, and he would pick up the teacup and take a sip from time to time. He maintained the same posture without any change for a long time.

Otherwise, Luo Zhen wouldn't have walked past the Torii Gate without noticing his presence. Even though Luo Zhen's walking made no sound, there were only a few steps between them.

Reimu Hakurei, Luo Zhen can recognize who the girl is.

He had carefully observed Gensokyo, but not every person in it. However, since there was already a mansion next to the Mist Lake.

That means the red and white shrine maiden that appeared before him was definitely not the shrine maiden of the previous generation, but at least the Hakurei shrine maiden of Reimu Hakurei or even a later generation.

If he paid a little more attention, Luo Zhen would be able to see the connection between the red and white priestess in front of him and the Hakurei Great Barrier.

Based on rational speculation, this should be Reimu Hakurei, and it can only be Reimu Hakurei.

After thinking for a while, Luo Zhen guided out a very small amount of data and reconstructed it into a small piece of golden object. Gold...

Theoretically, the currency of Gensokyo is the Japanese yen, but Luo Zhen is not very clear about its purchasing power. Compared to that, gold is more direct and more conspicuous.

Luo Zhen walked straight to the front of the hall, which was where the offering box was not far in front of Hakurei Reimu. He turned his head and looked to the empty left side. His hands felt a little itchy, but he held back.

next moment.

"Clang clang..."

The offering box was made of wood, and when the gold nuggets were thrown into it, there was no sound of metal clashing against each other, but even so, the movement was obvious enough.

The girl's originally natural posture of looking up at the sky became stiff the moment the sound came from the offering box.

Then, how should we describe the girl's movements, suddenly jumping up, leaping over, flying over?

All in all, the Red and White Priestess arrived in front of the offering box in a way that, in the eyes of ordinary people, was no different from teleportation.

The lazy feeling has completely disappeared, replaced by an indescribable excitement and a hint of emotion.

Luo Zhen clearly saw that the red and white witch's eyes had begun to glow with gold. Without any hesitation or avoidance, she reached into the offering box.

Then, he quickly took out the small gold nugget as big as a thumb that Luo Zhen had thrown in.

Reimu Hakurei was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly reacted. Without saying a word, she put the small gold nugget to her mouth and took a light bite.

Looking at the shallow but obvious teeth marks on it, Reimu Hakurei completely understood.

"Oh oh oh! Kami-sama, come here, this way, come in please!"

After a burst of uncontrollable cheers, Hakurei Reimu immediately put on a respectful look, and if you look closely, you can even see a hint of flattery.

Without asking anything and without caring what Luo Zhen was here for, he quickly opened the door to the main hall and enthusiastically invited Luo Zhen in. He was completely different from the person he had just been.

In Reimu's eyes, it doesn't matter what Luo Zhen comes here for, nor does it matter whether he has any needs.

The important thing is, Luo Zhen can really make money. If someone comes with a demand, can Luo Zhen continue to make money?

Is Reimu Hakurei greedy for money?

In Luo Zhen’s impression, yes.

After all, Reimu Hakurei has the title of the Hundred Thousand Miko.

Although it is the second society, although it is a joke.

If you think about it, this is a standard book setting. With 100,000 yen, you can do anything...

Unfortunately, Gensokyo is too gloomy, and no one can afford to pay 100,000 yen for Reimu.

Moreover, in the official setting, Reimu is not a greedy person. She doesn't even have any idea about the purchasing power of Gensokyo's currency.

As long as you have 100,000 yen, you can do whatever you want. It's a joke, and it can only be a joke.

Of course, not being greedy for money does not mean not being greedy, and being insensitive to prices does not mean not knowing what gold is.

Because the journey from the human village to the Hakurei Shrine is dangerous, and because monsters often gather in the shrine.

There are usually not many visitors to the Hakurei Shrine, and there is a lack of money from incense offerings. Reimu often comes up with various means to attract visitors and will not miss any opportunity to make money.

Reimu had indeed not noticed Luo Zhen's arrival before, but now, Luo Zhen had become a distinguished guest in her eyes.

It is low, a bit like a kotatsu, but it does not have the functions of a kotatsu. It is simply placed in front of a very low table.

Luo Zhen was arranged by Reimu to sit down, while Reimu herself turned around and went to the back of the main hall.

"Guest, tea and snacks!"

Luo Zhen waited for a while, and Reimu came trotting over with a worn-out cup and a small plate of dried persimmons and placed them in front of Luo Zhen.

There was warm tea in the cup, which was obviously freshly brewed by Reimu. However, the color of the tea was very light, with only two or three grains of tea foam, and it looked no different from plain water.

There were only two dried persimmons. No, that's not right. To be precise, there was only one and a half, or one and three quarters of a dried persimmon.

The one piled at the bottom still has a row of small and neat tooth marks clearly visible.

It looked like he wanted to eat it, but couldn't bear to eat it. After taking a bite, some dried persimmons were left.

I knew the conditions were bad, but I didn't expect them to be this bad.

Luo Zhen couldn't help but look at Reimu, who was wearing a standard service smile.

Seeing Luo Zhen looking at him, he took the initiative to say, "You're welcome, sir. If it's not enough, there's more."

Not enough, there is still...

One and three quarters of the dried persimmons have been served, and Reimu Hakurei still has any left?

Moreover, if Luo Zhen saw it correctly, after giving her pretentiously generous answer, Hakurei Reimu quietly swallowed her saliva. It seemed that she was not in a daze like before, but was resisting hunger.

Luo Zhen picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea that was no different from water, and laughed.

He thought about it, waved his hand on the table, and the originally empty table was soon filled with all kinds of food.

"You sit down too. I'm not hungry. I'm used to carrying extra food with me."

This is a lie!

Luo Zhen had long since gotten rid of the need for material things, so how could he possibly carry food with him?

These snacks are made just like gold. Things made up of data are not harmful to human beings.

Just like the chosen children can also eat things in the digital world.

"Hey, my dear guest, you are so polite, but since you said so, I won't be polite anymore!"

On this side, after seeing Luo Zhen's move, Reimu was stunned at first, but after hearing what Luo Zhen said, she sat down without hesitation, showing off and thanking Luo Zhen.

To be honest, I'm a bit nervous.

To Reimu, Luo Zhen was just a stranger she met for the first time.

At most, he had thrown a small gold nugget into the offering box, which made him a distinguished guest, worthy of Reimu's warm hospitality, but he was far from being trustworthy.

When faced with the food that Luo Zhen somehow took out, Reimu didn't even have any doubts and ate it directly, not afraid that Luo Zhen would add any ingredients to the food.

Hakurei Shrine is the shrine that monitors the Hakurei Great Barrier. As the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, although Reimu has neglected her training, she does have strength, and is quite powerful.

Because Hakurei Miko is also responsible for maintaining the balance of Gensokyo and protecting it.

However, this does not mean that Reimu is immune to all poisons. Although she has power, she also has human limitations.

Reimu cannot avoid the conditions of birth, aging, sickness, death, poisoning, hunger, lack of oxygen, etc.

It’s not that he is confident in his own ability, but he is just a simple-minded person.

However, being very leisurely and lacking a sense of crisis are also Reimu Hakurei's more prominent personality traits.

Reimu is a person with very simple thoughts. She gets angry when she is angry and laughs when she is happy. She has a simple personality.

Even though he is loyal to his desires, he has no evil thoughts at all. He is a truly innocent person.

but......

Luo Zhen rarely uses the word "wolfing" to describe a person's eating style, especially for girls.

But considering Reimu's current way of eating, it would be an understatement to describe her as wolfing down food. To put it bluntly, she is simply a glutton!

It seemed as if this was her last meal and she would be missing out if she didn't hurry up and eat more.

Since it was Luo Zhen who proposed it, it was not appropriate to disturb Reimu at this time, so he could only watch quietly and take a close look at the red and white priestess.

Although a little immature, she is pretty, and her facial features are obviously those of a beauty.

The key point is the clothes Reimu is wearing now.

The shrine maiden's costume, which has been washed to a white color but is still very clean, combined with Reimu's well-behaved appearance when she is not speaking, gives it a touch of elegance.

However, perhaps due to poverty and in order to save fabric, this shrine maiden costume, which looks very formal at first glance, actually has slits on both shoulders.

It should be said that the top is separated at the shoulders and replaced by wide white sleeves, leaving the middle naturally empty.

As Reimu's movements became more and more open and closed, her more private armpits were vaguely visible. They were very smooth, adding a touch of charm that was not in line with her age group to her elegant appearance.

Although Reimu's current behavior has completely destroyed her strengths, her foundation is there, and it is difficult for people to feel disgusted with her.

Luo Zhen's observation did not last too long. After all, Reimu's appetite was still in line with the level of a girl of her age. To put it bluntly, she was easy to feed.
