With a friend's recommendation, the player downloaded a full immersion game that was supposedly super popular and a loss not to play. In her eagerness to start the game, the player didn't r...
Chapter 122 Negotiation Follow-up "It's been four hours...
"It's been four hours, right?" At Yokohama Port, Dazai Osamu, hiding under the large parasol left by the caring little leader, looked at the sky. The sun had already moved to the center.
"I feel like the sun is going to melt me today." The boy, wrapped in bandages, fanned himself with his hands and stuck out his tongue in a very ungraceful manner.
"Three hours and fifty-four minutes, to be exact." Mori Ogai glanced at his watch, his gaze fixed on the bottomless ocean. "Speaking of which, Dazai-kun, your face is half-bandaged. Won't it turn two different colors?"
"Rather than worrying about me, Mr. Mori, you should be more concerned about your receding hairline." Dazai Osamu chuckled, touched his hair, and said, "It looks very worrying."
Mori Ogai smiled wryly. "Speaking of this, it really bothers me. I wonder if the leader can help me with my hairline."
"I used to be a handsome man with flowing hair..."
Mori Ogai looked at Dazai Osamu's nauseous expression and smiled with some smugness.
Ozaki Koyo, who was as beautiful as a landscape, still held the umbrella sword, watching the wanton bickering between Mori Ogai and Dazai Osamu with a faint smile on her face.
"Ah, the ship is back." Oda Sakunosuke's calm voice interrupted the verbal battle between the two.
Osamu Dazai: "?"
Mori Ogai: “?”
The two looked toward the sea at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a light white point - it was a returning ship!
In the center of the white area, there was a small black ball waving at them. It was their leader, Chiyo Kamikami, whom they had brought with two younger brothers to negotiate.
The leader is still waving to them, so cute!
Wait, wait, wait! This action? What is the leader going to do? !!!
The eyes of the port mafia members became surprised at the same time.
at the same time--
After a fierce verbal battle, the player and the bald NPC drew up a new contract in triplicate, marking the end of the meeting.
The negotiation ended successfully, and the player who would receive the special ability license soon sat on the returning ship, enjoying the sea breeze and the joy of harvest.
The player who had left the negotiation state was enthusiastic and generous. He took out a few fishing rods and distributed them to the members of the Special Ability Special Agent Department who were watching eagerly on the side, so that they could also feel the joy of being a fisherman.
The fisherman with no empty arms is coming!
[You used special bait, and you attracted special creatures]
[Great luck, great success, you caught a special fish - lobster fish]
You used ordinary bait, and you attracted ordinary creatures.
[Great luck, great success! You caught a common creature—a plump sea crab.]
…
…
"Chuya, you're so awesome!" The player looked at his gradually filling backpack and the one, two, and five full buckets around him, and hugged the orange-haired boy's thighs.
"These are all trivial matters." Zhongyuan Zhongye, who had gradually gotten used to the increasingly bizarre creatures, said calmly, and then he pulled up another fat crab.
"My fishing luck is so good today, it's simply invincible!" With the help of Knight Xiaoye's special ability, players can successfully catch any fish no matter how big it is!
Thinking of this, the player made a shot with full confidence.
[You used special bait, and you attracted special creatures]
[Lucky, barely a success, you caught a special item - a severed tentacle]
The player who just made a bold statement was slapped in the face: "?"
Looking at the still-throbbing tentacle that Chuuya Nakahara had pulled up, the player was a little confused, "It's so big...? Is this something edible?"
The player subconsciously looked at the information on the tentacle.
[A piece of tentacle that likes to move around: A random drop from a humanoid creature. Unlike its owner who likes to sleep, this is a tentacle that dares to think and act, and likes to see the world. It is suitable for warding off evil spirits, but is not recommended for consumption.
PS: Carrying this tentacle with you will increase your ability to resist illusions by 20%.
Illusion resistance +20%? Even though it's inedible, it's definitely a good thing!
The player excitedly prepared to try again, but found that his fishing rod had reached the limit of its durability and turned into a ball of ash and floated away - the best fishing times for the day had passed, and if he forced it, he would only catch a bunch of seaweed and garbage.
The player who tried several times but only got a pile of seaweed and scraps said: "..."
"Chief, we're almost at the shore," Nakahara Chuuya said at the right moment.
The player, who was originally feeling a little lost, immediately raised his head, looked at the conspicuous flag near the port, and waved towards it happily.
However, perhaps because the player was too small, there was no response from the shore.
"Chu Ye, what do you say we give them a surprise?" The player, who hadn't received a response for a long time, poked the orange-haired NPC next to him.
Nakahara Chuuya tilted his head to look at the leader and asked in confusion, "What surprise?"
"That's it..." The player took the bamboo dragonfly and placed it on his own head and Nakahara Chuuya's head respectively, "Let's fly directly to the shore--!"
As he spoke, the player stood on the side of the ship, dragging Nakahara Chuuya with him, and jumped in front of everyone's gaze.
Ango Sakaguchi who was left on the ship: ...No, now you don’t even want to pretend?
——————
"The leader jumped off the boat--!" On the shore, someone screamed, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue.
"What?! You guys in the Special Ability Division are so cruel! You actually forced the leader of our Port Mafia to jump into the sea!"
"Damn it! Could it be that you guys are trying to kill me because negotiations failed? Give us an explanation now!"
The confused members of the port mafia began to stir one after another, picking up their weapons and preparing to pierce the members of the special power spy department who were also waiting for news on the side!
The remaining members of the Special Ability Agent Department who knew nothing: "..."
No? They know nothing, they are wronged!
"What are you arguing about?" A voice from the Port Mafia asked in confusion.
The mafia man who was patted on the shoulder shrugged impatiently and said in a gruff voice, "Don't bother me. Didn't you see that the leader was forced to jump into the sea by them?"
"We must make these guys pay a heavy price!"
"Oh, but..." the voice kept chirping in the big man's ear, "But I am your leader!"
"I didn't jump into the sea—"
The player looked at the man who turned around and whose expression froze for a moment, then rubbed his chin and said, "You... look a little familiar...?"
"I see. You're the big guy in the black suit with the scar on his upper lip that I met in the cafeteria!" The player looked reminiscent, but after glancing at the approaching Oda Sakunosuke, he immediately clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm. "Your name is Koizumi Ike, right?"
"I didn't expect the leader still remembered me..." The moved man in the black suit covered his face shyly and whispered, "But my name is Zuo Quanchi, leader."
"Oh, I can say two words correctly means it's okay. Xiaoquanchi, it seems that you have been training hard since then. Your body looks stronger." The player waved his hand and said, "Keep going. If I have time, I will practice your skills with you."
The excited Zuoquanchi spoke very loudly, "Yes! Chief!"
The leader, along with the rising star of the Port Mafia, Lord Nakahara, walked towards the cadres in front, leaving Zuo Quanchi alone with his head held high, receiving the envious glances of his companions around him.
——————
"Hehe, surprise!" The player who enjoyed the excitement of jumping off the boat brought Nakahara Chuuya to Dazai Osamu and others, and took off the bamboo dragonfly from his head.
"Seeing that the leader looks so happy, I guess the result of this meeting should be pretty good?" Mori Ogai guessed as he looked at the black-haired girl's joyful expression.
Oda Sakunosuke observed the leader's expression and nodded, "The leader does seem very happy."
"Hehe, what will be the result?" With everyone's expectant gazes on him, the player was maliciously keeping the other person in suspense.
Dazai Osamu looked at the little leader whose invisible tail was about to rise into the sky, and felt that the result was obvious.
As expected, the extremely happy players raised their hands and loudly announced, "Of course it's a super good result!"
"In a sense, I have to thank Shibusawa Tatsuhiko." The player stroked his chin and thought, "The smooth progress of this negotiation is also due to the damage he caused during the Dragon Head War."
"The Special Ability Division's funding was somewhat limited in some areas, and the Shibusawa family refused to cover the cost of repairing the damage, so the treaty was signed smoothly."
"The contents of the treaty are basically within the expected range!"
Fresh off the ship, having heard everything, being criticized for his funding, being backstabbed by the Shibusawa family, and bearing pressure from all sides, Taneda Santouki said: "...He strongly suspected that Shibusawa Ryuhiko's stance had changed."
Otherwise, why would the Shibusawa family make such a decision at such a critical moment?
But there was nothing he could do. After all, Shibusawa Ryuhiko was the person with the greatest potential to become a Transcendent in Japan, and he had the capital to be arrogant.
Although, this internally recognized fact may change today.
Thinking of what he had discovered using his special abilities, the knowledgeable Taneda Santouhuo's expression changed slightly.
I didn't expect to get it so smoothly...
Even though Mori Ogai is a shrewd and experienced person who has been immersed in the other world for many years, he did not expect that he could get the supernatural license from the Supernatural Agent Department so easily.
And according to what the leader said, if the terms of the final contract are basically within her expectations, then it should be similar to the plan they had drawn up in their previous meeting.
This was a much lighter price than he had imagined!
As long as the ability license is obtained, the development speed of the Port Mafia will be further increased on the original basis, and the task proposed by the leader to integrate the remaining forces in the Yokohama world will be completed soon.
By then...
Mori Ogai became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and he could hardly hide the smile in his eyes and laughed out loud.
Seeing the slightly depressed Taneda Santouki, Mori Ogai decided to go up and exchange a few words with him.
Of course, he will be careful about what he says.
