Moments later, Yukino Yukinoshita smiled, swiftly pulling out ten ten-thousand-yen bills from her wallet, respectfully placing them in Luoshu's hand.
She wasn't trying to be clever; if Luoshu wanted a hundred thousand, she would give him a hundred thousand.
This wouldn't ruin her impression on him.
Among these bills, she secretly slipped in a check from the Yukinoshita family that could be filled out for any amount.
If Mr. Luo wanted to use it, it would deepen their connection.
If he didn't want to, Yukino wouldn't lose out either.
It was a clever and emotionally intelligent move.
After settling the payment, the cunning young lady smiled broadly and asked, "Mr. Luo, how do I use this for my hopeless sister?"
"Grind it into powder and brew it as tea," the young man replied nonchalantly.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.
Yukino Yukinoshita's smile froze, and the crowd was taken aback.
"Pfft."
Haruno, who was drinking water to quench her thirst, widened her eyes at his words and sprayed water everywhere.
How could there be such a strange method?
No... thinking carefully, there were indeed historical cases of people being treated with talisman water in ancient times.
Yukino took a deep breath, trying to comfort herself; her life was the most important thing.
Yet, she saw the young man in a feathered robe smirk and tease:
"I was just joking; you ladies needn't take it seriously."
"As long as Miss Yukino wears the necklace and doesn't take it off, it will ensure her safety."
"Phew, then I must thank Master Luo," Yukino sighed in relief, then secretly poked her sister's back. Haruno immediately caught on and sincerely thanked Luoshu.
Regardless of whether this treasure would be effective, gratitude was still necessary.
After learning that Luoshu didn't have a phone, Yukino immediately gave him her spare device, establishing contact with him, and then cheerfully led Haruno away.
Once the two left, countless eager eyes immediately fell on Luoshu.
This was the true master!
He had looks, charm, and treasures.
How could the fortune-tellers in the park compare to Master Luo?!
"Master, please tell my fortune!!"
"Wait, I came first; Master Luo should read mine first!"
"No, no, I was the first; I'm a fervent fan of Mr. Luo, let me go first!"
"I'm more attractive; I should go first!"
"My wife cheated on me; I'm more urgent, let me test first…"
"...…"
In an instant, the atmosphere turned lively and boisterous.
Luoshu looked at the scene and couldn't help but chuckle, "Form a line, one at a time."
Seeing him organizing the crowd, people instinctively quieted down a bit.
Once they lined up, Luoshu began to check the customers' fate information, speaking generously and accurately in his divination, leaving everyone in awe!
This only deepened their admiration and trust!
[Divine Authority Gem +0.16, Divine Authority Gem +0.18, Divine Authority Gem +0.06, Divine Authority Gem +0.9, Divine Authority Gem +0.21…]
Not only did the Divine Authority Gems continuously increase, but he also earned a significant amount of yen.
By evening.
As the Makuhari Seaside Park neared closing time, the crowd reluctantly dispersed.
Luoshu yawned lazily.
He silently chanted "Void" in his heart, and a silver ripple appeared on the left side of his vision.
[Divine Authority Gem: 25.95]
"Not bad."
Luoshu smiled contentedly, patting his bulging wallet, which contained about three hundred thousand yen.
Now, it was time to find a place to live.
With that thought, a faint smile appeared on his face as his figure gradually faded into the darkness.
"Mr. Luo, right?"
"Yes."
"I didn't expect you to be living independently at such a young age; that's impressive!"
In the "Happy Manor," the beautiful landlord smiled warmly as she chatted. Her silky black twin tails cascaded down her shoulders like a drill bit.
Luoshu smiled back and took out the key to unlock the door to his newly rented apartment.
After arriving in this world, he finally had a small nest to shield him from the storm.
Although he was living off the grid, the hundreds of thousands of yen in his wallet would be enough to sustain him for several months with frugality. While the Divine Authority Gems could be converted into gold and other hard currencies, it would be too wasteful.
At critical moments, it might just be lacking that little bit of Divine Authority Gems.
This rental unit was located in the central part of the city, and the rent was relatively inexpensive.
However, upon arriving, Luoshu was quite taken aback.
The moment he stepped into the room, his golden finger, "Void," began to tremble inexplicably. A silver ripple appeared in the air, visible only to him, and countless pieces of information flashed before Luoshu's eyes, buzzing with warnings.
[Haunted House]
[Year: 20.4 (Walls Aging)]
[Description: An unremarkable old house, but a black hole phenomenon occurred half a month ago, with ghosts attempting to descend through the black hole. It costs 2.3 Divine Authority Gems to forcibly seal the black hole.]
Seeing the prompt from the Void, Luoshu finally realized what was happening.
No wonder this place has such a great location, yet the rent is ridiculously cheap.
Turns out, the place is haunted.
But it also made Luoshu realize that this anime world wasn't so ordinary after all.
Ghosts meant supernatural forces that could threaten him, and a sense of urgency arose in the young man's heart. He needed to earn Divine Authority Gems quickly to strengthen himself.
After learning about the situation with this rental, Luoshu wasn't planning to leave. He was curious about this so-called "black hole phenomenon." Besides, it only cost 2.3 Divine Authority Gems to seal it, so he decided to investigate this world's secrets.
As the saying goes, "Knowing the mountain holds tigers, yet still heading towards it!"
"Landlady, see you tomorrow."
He smiled and waved, closing the door behind him as she watched with a kind smile.
Speaking of which, the landlady looked pretty similar to the characters he'd seen in anime before.
And her gaze was full of goodwill, seemingly appreciating his handsome face. Checking with his golden finger, this feeling was genuine. Perhaps she didn't know much about the ghosts in the house.
Or, more likely, previous tenants had kept leaving, forcing the landlady to lower the rent.
But for now, the important thing was to find this "black hole phenomenon."
Luoshu's eyes turned sharp, and he strode towards the bedroom, ready to start his search there.
"Doo—!!"
Suddenly, a sound like a car horn echoed through the air.
This unexpected event caused him to turn his head in surprise. The space there cracked like scrambled code, revealing a line of fissures, and wispy black mist began to seep out, carrying faint, mournful cries.
From the gap, a pair of blood-red eyes, filled with malice, stared directly at him.
Was this a ghost?
"Interesting."
Luoshu smiled and walked directly toward the expanding black hole.
With the expenditure of Divine Authority Gems, countless arcs of electricity crackled around his body.
Thunder, the pivot of heaven and earth's yin and yang, a ghost's nemesis!.
