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 304: That man with a great figure! Step...
The moment the player steps into this area, their face changes, transforming into a woman with blonde hair and golden eyes, wearing a retro long dress.
After carefully observing the surroundings, the player discovered that every few meters, there would be some NPCs holding similar square tickets in their hands and muttering something.
At first the players were a little surprised, but after seeing the horses in the center of the field, they understood what was going on - no wonder everyone looked more or less excited, they didn't expect this to be a racecourse!
The player blinked curiously.
"Beautiful lady, it looks like this is your first time at the racecourse. Do you need a telescope?" When the peddler saw the strange woman with clear eyes but unusual clothes, he hurried over as if he had seen a fat sheep with a lot of money.
"Huh? Why do you need a telescope?" The player who asked without knowing the answer was instantly labeled a novice in the vendor's eyes, which made his expression even more enthusiastic.
"Of course, it's to better observe the condition of the participating horses and make better choices!"
The vendor picked up his binoculars and boasted in a rhythmic voice, "I'm not exaggerating, but this binocular can clearly see the demeanor of every racehorse in the ring. It's 30% off right now, so it's a great investment, beautiful lady~~"
"You sound so impressive, but..." The player, standing at the entrance and able to see the horses' every move, tilted his head and pointed at the distance between the racehorse display area and the seats. "Do you really need a telescope for such a short distance?"
The telescope vendor was speechless: "..."
The key to doing business is perseverance. The peddler rolled his eyes and thought, if one plan fails, he will come up with another one.
"If you don't need a telescope, I have a lucky pencil and a lucky writing pen."
The vendor put on a smile again and enthusiastically recommended it to what he considered a key customer, saying, "If this is your first time watching horse racing and you don't know much about it, maybe they can help you buy a ticket!"
The player said nothing, but silently took out a large roll of pens of various colors from his pocket.
Vendor: “Umbrella?”
The player silently took out the umbrella.
Vendor: "Winter coat?"
The player silently took out his coat.
Street vendor: “…”
Player: “…”
The vendor's face was stiff, and the player smiled without saying anything.
"Tsk, he looks so bright and beautiful, but I didn't expect him to be such a stingy person!"
The vendor, who had tried unsuccessfully for several times, suddenly changed his expression, spat fiercely, and cursed: "If you don't have money, don't pretend here. You're really wasting my time!"
After saying that, he left angrily, apparently to look for the next "big fat sheep".
"Eh...you left so soon. I wanted to tease you for a while longer." After putting all the props into the backpack, the player looked at the NPC's departing back, hummed softly, and smiled.
The things recommended by the NPC are common gadgets that can be found everywhere in the market. Even if the occasion is special, its price should not be more than ten times the market price.
Players who have been poor before will never waste money on this kind of thing! Players will only spend money that they think is worth it!
This little episode between the players and the vendors was not noticed by many people. Even if it was discovered, it was just quickly passed over, thinking that the vendor had made a failed sales promotion and did not take it too seriously.
"What's wrong, Zenyuan?" The man with a mustache put his hands in his pockets and looked at the man who suddenly turned his head with some confusion.
"...Nothing, I just saw a young lady who was naive and a little clever." The man known as Zenyuan tore the horse racing tickets in his hand into pieces, then rubbed his already messy black hair, and leaned back slightly, revealing his proud figure.
"Lost all your reward again? You've truly fallen, Chanyuan." Realizing that this horse racing bet had yielded nothing, the mustachioed man in the black suit raised an eyebrow, followed his gaze, and agreed, "But... she's indeed a beautiful lady. I wonder what she's doing in a place like this."
This doesn't seem like the kind of place a rich lady would come to.
"I will make money sooner or later. Also, don't call me Zenyuan. I'm already married into your wife's family. Call me Fushiguro." The man frowned, and his ink-black eyes rarely showed a hint of sharpness as he looked at the man in the black suit next to him.
"My name is Fushiguro Shier now, do you understand? Kong Shiyu." The man with a long and narrow scar on his lip emphasized.
Kong Shiyu: “…”
"...Okay, okay, I get it, Fushiguro Fushiguro." Under the rather intimidating gaze, Kong Shiyu stretched out his hands pleadingly, calling out twice before stating his purpose, "I'm not here to discuss this kind of thing with you this time."
"As an intermediary, I have a big deal here that offers ample time and generous compensation, perfect for you. I'm wondering if you're interested, Fushiguro," Kong Shiyu asked. "If you succeed, the compensation will be enough to guarantee you a free time in various gambling venues."
"It's a big order with plenty of time..." Fushiguro paused, yawned, and said nonchalantly, "Then we'll talk about it when the time comes. I'm not that short of money right now."
"Wait a minute, listen to me, this mission is unusual, it's about spells... Where are you going?" Kong Shiyu couldn't help but ask as he looked at the black-haired man who stood up and was about to leave.
"Can't you see?" Fushiguro Shier pouted angrily, motioning Kong Shiyu to look at the farce happening not far away. "Of course he's going to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, so he can get a long-term meal ticket."
"That young lady might be a generous sponsor..." As he said this, he patted the dust on his clothes, rubbed his face, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
…
…
After driving away the vendors selling overpriced goods, the player stayed near the road sign, looking left and right, trying to find the place he wanted to go among these seemingly identical roads.
But a beautiful, elegant, single woman without friends is very likely to be disturbed, especially in a mixed environment.
After much hesitation, the player who was about to take the first step was stopped by several NPCs, forcing her to stop.
"What's up?" the player asked, glancing at the relatively friendly yellow dot on the map.
"We'd like to ask Miss your name, and by the way... let's make friends~~" A 1.6-meter-tall young man with only half his bangs cast a strange look at the player and said in an indescribable tone, "Oi~, what do you think, Miss~"
The tone was really strange, as if there were two stones in the mouth, unclear and gurgling, but judging from the meaning of these words, it turned out that he wanted to chat up the player - it seems that this disguise is very good, and the proficiency of related skills should be improved.
However, she did not want to get entangled with these NPCs, and starting a battle here would be too conspicuous. She might be arrested by Gojo Satoru who was somewhere unknown!
Thinking of this, the player shook his head and decisively rejected the NPC: "I don't think it's very good."
"Don't leave so quickly, little sister." A round NPC stopped the player again. "It's just a small acquaintance, it's no big deal. Don't you think we're a good match?"
"We are the same height but different genders!" The round NPC made a very explosive statement.
Player: “…”
Does this NPC know what he's talking about? The player folded his arms, his eyes gradually narrowing, a hint of coldness unconsciously seeping out.
"I've been in a good mood lately, but if you don't move away..." The player took out a knife and swung it, "Then it will be considered self-defense."
"Haha, she's still a little sister after all. Even her protective weapons are so small~"
Seeing the weapons suddenly appear, the NPCs, who hadn't noticed anything was wrong, smiled even more wildly. They walked towards the player step by step, constantly saying provocative words: "Oh my, you really scared me... Ah! Ugh!"
"Wow!" The player couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the round NPC fly out like a ball, "It really looks like a ball now!"
But who did it? The force was so strong and the speed was so fast. It seemed like it must be an extraordinary person...
The extraordinary character soon appeared before the players.
"Hey, Miss, you look like you need a bodyguard."
"Would you like to consider me?" The broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, black-haired man cracked his wrists and said with a smile, "Although I'm expensive, I can guarantee that you'll get more than your money's worth—"
"You look very powerful... However, if you want to be hired, you should tell me your name, right?" The player looked up and down at the scarred man and spoke with interest.
Moreover, this man's body looked really perfect, with black hair and black eyes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and this flawless, unadulterated...
"Fushiguro Shiori." The scarred man paused, then added, "I want to remind you that you've been noticed by many people since you came in, Miss."
[Name: Fushiguro Shiji

Note: This is a rare existence that has no cursed power but is extremely powerful. 】
Wow, a rare existence that has no cursed energy but is extremely powerful... It sounds like a super powerful SSR!
The random travel route made just to avoid the persistent guy Wu Tiao actually led the player to meet an interesting NPC!
Is this the player's invincible luck? Capital (crossed out) system you win!
The player clenched his fists, his eyes becoming increasingly fiery as he looked at Fushiguro Shier.
However, this caused some subtle misunderstandings among men who had experienced many years of struggle and society.
Feeling the fiery gazes glued to him, Fushiguro Shier coldly drove away the guys who were still standing there in a daze, nodded in understanding, and said, "As long as the money is in place, I can support you, Miss."
"You can do whatever you want—" The man with black hair and black eyes smiled bewitchingly, and even the scar at the corner of his lip became charming.
"Ah? Keeping? What keeping? Aren't we talking about hiring?" The player came back to his senses and tilted his head in confusion after hearing what the scarred man said. The look he raised happened to meet the gaze of Fushiguro Shigeru.
After seeing the other party's clear eyes, Fushiguro Shier realized that this young lady really didn't know what he was talking about: "..."
"Turns out she's still a good little girl..." Fushiguro Shigeru murmured, keeping the rest of his words behind his lips.
In this case, I can't use the previous methods. How can I get close to a rich man?
Before he could come up with his next plan, he heard the blonde, golden-eyed young lady cheer with joy: "I don't know what you're talking about... but I've decided. I'm going to hire you for an afternoon!"
"This is the trial period!" she said loudly, and put the coins she took out from somewhere into Fushiguro Shigeru's hand.
Fushiguro Shiori, who effortlessly recovered all the money he lost today: "..."
It's such a thick stack of banknotes. Are you going to pay the full amount without even saying what you want to do?
I'm really not worried about him running away...
