Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Hell-level difficulty strategy mission, start...

116

Douma groaned in pain and curled up on the ground, rolling around.

Li Xiaoqi snorted coldly, crossed his arms and looked down at him, "You look so embarrassed, Mr. Douma."

Douma stood up trembling all over. After a while, the pain disappeared and his face looked refreshed.

"Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore."

He said it as casually as if he was just "flying away in pain".

"Finally, Miss Nana is awake. When I came here before, I always saw Miss Nana sleeping. Could it be that Miss Nana's hobby is sleeping?"

Douma shook his hand, and the fan slipped out from his wide sleeves. He opened it with a snap and began to fan it leisurely.

When Li Xiaoqi heard this, alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.

Every time I come here, I always find her sleeping, which means this guy comes here every few days... Could it be true that Muzan Kibutsuji and the others stayed indoors for three or four days because they had stomach problems from cooking?

...although it does sound so outrageous that it seems fake.

"What if I say yes?"

Li Xiaoqi put his hands on his hips, looking helpless.

"There's nothing else I can do with these crops except wait for them to mature."

Douma blinked in confusion and said, "Why? I heard that human researchers are very busy, but it seems that Miss Nana isn't."

Li Xiaoqi curled the corners of his lips and began to pretend.

"I'm different from humans. I'm a researcher at the Spacetime Administration! We have a specialized synthesis system. We can't grow blue spider lilies using conventional methods. We need to use specific materials to synthesize blue spider lily seeds."

"Otherwise, why would I have said that we could grow the extinct blue spider lily?"

She spoke very proudly, as if it was a serious matter.

Douma exclaimed, seemingly believing her lies. "I see. That's really amazing."

"Are these crops the materials for synthesizing blue spider lilies? So are those chicks also...?"

"yes."

Douma groaned for a moment, then asked, "These flowers are so beautiful. Did Miss Nana create them herself using her powers?"

Li Xiaoqi did not answer this question. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Mr. Douma, you don't really want to eat my little □□?"

Douma's mouth twitched, and he waved his fan, "How is that possible? I'm not a weasel..."

“…”

Li Xiaoqi remained silent.

"Ah, where's that strange duck-like creature?"

Douma looked around, pretending to search for something.

Li Xiaoqi showed a matter-of-fact expression. "Doraemon hasn't been here recently. He's helping me find a place where the blue red spider lily grows. The most important ingredient for synthesis is the soil in that place."

Douma nodded thoughtfully and said casually, "Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped."

"Doraemon has special detection tools and high-speed vehicles. You can't catch up with him."

Li Xiaoqi arched his eyebrows, imitated his tone, and mocked him nonchalantly.

"Doraemon always appears suddenly, right? He uses these high-tech props."

Douma looked embarrassed and even fanned himself faster.

“I-I see…”

Li Xiaoqi now understood that Douma was a spy sent by Muzan Kibutsuji to see what she would do when they were apparently staying indoors. If she made any suspicious moves and it was discovered that what she said was fictitious, he would strangle her immediately.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoqi knew Muzan Kibutsuji's suspicious character and took precautions when taking action.

Li Xiaoqi turned his attention to the chicken coop and began to change the subject.

"Those chicks come from a world called Teyvat, which is filled with all kinds of spirits and gods. The land is rich in spiritual energy, so the creatures there are excellent tonics for ghosts, and the smell of their blood is extremely tempting."

"I only learned this after I became a ghost, but you have to hold it in! This is for the purpose of researching the blue red spider lily. Do you want to be punished by your boss, Mr. Muzan?"

She was worried about Douma, so she made up a story.

Douma probably thought of Muzan Kibutsuji, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

In an instant, his expression became much uglier. Perhaps Muzan Kibutsuji warned him directly in his mind.

"I see……"

Douma hung his head and sighed helplessly.

Li Xiaoqi remembered the mission, so he raised his hand and ruffled Douma's hair, saying softly, "Okay, okay, I know you want to eat, but wait a little longer."

"I've prepared extra portions of these crops so I can make a feast for everyone!"

She clenched her fists and spoke with full energy.

Tong stood up straight with difficulty, and his expression became stiff.

"...How about we cook the meal later?"

Li Xiaoqi laughed twice and patted his shoulder, "Don't be so polite, my cooking skills are pretty good."

Douma fell silent for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiaoqi grabbed his collar and pulled him over, "Hey! You must be thinking about last dinner, definitely--"

Douma slowly opened his eyes and looked at the face so close to him, his chest beating faster and faster.

It seemed as if the blood in his body was heating up, and he dared not look directly into her eyes.

He immediately covered his stomach, waved his hand and ran away, his figure disappearing from the spot in an instant.

"I, I have something to do, I'll leave first--"

Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips to suppress his laughter and let out a comfortable breath.

"Ding! Congratulations to host Xiao Qi, Upper Rank Two Douma's favorability has reached 50, bringing us one step closer to unlocking the anchor point!"

Administrator June chimed in.

So, why did Douma's favorability increase so inexplicably?

Hitting him can also increase it, is he an m!

Li Xiaoqi didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

"After taking the Love Potion, the Ghost King and his companions will fall in love with you the first time they see you. As long as they interact with you, their favorability will naturally increase. Even the most unreasonable behavior will be filtered out in their eyes."

It's rare for June to come out and explain again.

Li Xiaoqi blinked slowly, then clapped his hands in silence and gratitude.

Good guy, really good guy.

What I mean is, thank you system for saving my life.

"It's my pleasure."

Li Xiaoqi: “…”

[Quick! Let Momotou suffer the pain of love, that will be a sure kill!]

[The grinding head is definitely m]

[Speaking of which, Qiqi’s nonsense skills have been upgraded again hahahahahaha]

[I would rather see the plot of abusing Wuzhan (dog head), the feeling of being in love but not being able to get it, very touching]

On the live broadcast interface, most of the comments were teasing Douma, and a few were encouraging Li Xiaoqi to conquer Muzan.

However, now Li Xiaoqi pays more attention to Dazai Osamu than to the barrage.

On the screen that only the system anchor could see, Dazai Osamu was standing among the swordsmiths, explaining the size and shape of bullets, how to forge them so that they could be fired faster, etc.

Li Xiaoqi looked at his serious profile and felt a little surprised.

She originally thought that Dazai Osamu would not be too sad about helping the Demon Slayer Corps with their mission, but now it seems that is not the case.

Li Xiaoqi thought of the conversation just now. Dazai Osamu seemed to be very familiar with Rengoku Kyojuro and the others, and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah, Feiye Feiye means that..."

She suddenly realized.

What Dazai meant was that Muzan Kibutsuji's actions were not because he really had an upset stomach and did nothing, but because he intended to observe her behavior.

It was exactly what she had thought just now, which further confirmed Li Xiaoqi's guess.

Li Xiaoqi held his forehead with his hands due to the headache and lay down on the corridor.

She glanced sideways at the eye patch, picked it up and put it on her head.

Li Xiaoqi stood up and walked back to his rest room. As soon as he stepped in, he saw the lunch box on the table.

The lunch box is black, and when opened it contains plump triangular rice balls.

These were the lunch boxes that Rengoku Kyojuro gave to Dazai Osamu, and he took them away quietly.

Li Xiaoqi smiled, picked up the rice ball and started eating.

She turned her head to look at the yard. The ginkgo trees were swaying, the roses were bright red, and together with the various flowers, they formed a beautiful picture.

Just as Rengoku Kyojuro said, the rice balls are delicious. The walnuts and plums inside are mixed with the flavor of sesame oil, which has a unique flavor.

After finishing the rice ball, Li Xiaoqi picked up a pen and paper to complete the final information.

With the enthusiastic help of the audience in the live broadcast room, the skill information of Muzan Kibutsuji and the other Upper Moons was sorted out.

She folded it carefully, made an envelope out of white paper, and placed the information inside.

"Xiao Qi Xiao Qi, it's evening now—"

"I heard there's a big event going on in Asakusa, Tokyo. Do you want to go?"

Dazai Osamu's vague words came.

Li Xiaoqi turned his head and saw him sitting on the porch at the door of the room, holding a bowl of rice, watching the sunset being swallowed by the night.

"Let's see what the situation is like in Infinite City after delivering the information."

She did not agree immediately. Considering that she was under surveillance at any time, it was better to be cautious.

Dazai Osamu understood Li Xiaoqi's situation and didn't say much.

"Oh wow! Based on Douma's behavior, the host has confirmed that the Demon King and his group are testing the host's behavior. What strategic action should be taken next?

A. Talk to Kokushibo about life

B. Ask Muzan Kibutsuji to paint a rosy picture

C. Find Douma and visit the newly built Eternal Paradise

D. Find Akaza to train together"

The familiar countdown appeared on the live broadcast interface. Li Xiaoqi looked at everything blankly. To her, all the options were the same, and none of them was the one she wanted to conquer.

Thirty seconds later, the results came out.

"Based on the barrage vote, please complete the content in option A."

As soon as June finished speaking, coincidentally, Kokushibo appeared in the courtyard.

"Mr. Kokushibo?"

Li Xiaoqi said in surprise.

Kokushibo nodded slightly, his face still expressionless, like a cube of ice.

"Lord Muzan said that Miss Nana might be bored staying in the Infinite Castle, so he asked me to accompany you out."

"There will be a festival held tonight in the town where humans live. If Miss Nana wants to go, you can go out and relax."

His speaking speed was slower, as if it was set to 0.7 times the speed compared to Douma.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoqi felt sleepy.

She showed a look of surprise and asked, "Mr. Muzan isn't coming with us?"

Kokushibo said in a deep voice: "Lord Muzan has something important to do."

Li Xiaoqi nodded and agreed.

She was very curious, why did everyone want her to find Brother Yi?

Didn't you still yell that you wanted to torture Wuzhan?

"Then, we'll set off in half an hour."

After Kokushibo finished speaking, he nodded politely and disappeared.

Li Xiaoqi blinked slowly, feeling that Kokushibo was quite considerate in giving her time to dress up.

She thought again and realized that Kokushibo was a noble son of a wealthy family. Perhaps the upbringing ingrained in him made him behave like this.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly remembered that he was supposed to deliver intelligence to the Demon Slayer Corps tonight, but this happened instead.

"Ding Dong! Temporary mission activated! The host needs to invite Muzan Kibutsuji to accompany him to tonight's festival. Create a private space for him and Kokushibo to talk about life and increase his favorability. And without being discovered by Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushibo, deliver the information to the Demon Slayer Corps."

!!!

System, what kind of hellish task is this?

Li Xiaoqi hugged his head and wailed in despair.
