Gojo Satoru took a sip of his high-sugar coffee, grasped the key words and continued to ask: "New order? Is it just for you monsters born in modern society? Or does your master want to reform the current monster world, unify the new and old generations, and then become the sole ruler behind it?"

(…Isn’t that the Ghost King?)

"The current chaos needs a new order to end. Monsters eat people, people catch monsters, but the monsters are small circles and each one is a faction, and they even eat each other. The low-level monsters of the old era have almost no place to stand, and the ghost stories born in the new era are a school of their own and are not accepted by any force..."

After finishing such a long sentence, he paused for a few seconds, "...So...everyone is having a hard time."

Gojo Satoru actually heard some of the feelings of the displaced refugees during the chaos of the Warring States Period in his pitiful expression.

It sounds good, but it is only one-sided at the moment... Although it is basically a family affair between monsters, just like people, once they gather together, their hearts are not in harmony, and no one knows what will happen, not to mention that if they are used by people with ulterior motives, it is possible that good intentions will lead to bad results.

Gojo Satoru doesn't really trust the "master" behind him.

"So how do you establish order?"

The man with the slit tilted his head and looked at him: "...It's not convenient to tell you. But, it won't harm humans."

"I can't believe empty promises." Gojo Satoru didn't buy it. He quickened his speech and said, "Besides, this is not something that you can guarantee will definitely come true. Even in a group with common interests, there may be people with different intentions." He spoke with certainty.

The man with the slit mouth was not angry at being rejected. After all, diplomatic work was not his job. But he could see that Gojo Satoru was not going to let him go easily.

Xiao Bai tried to change the subject: "...Well, I can only tell you that the master of the family hopes that we can have a good relationship with humans."

"Oh? Is this one of the action guidelines your master has given you? But isn't it of no benefit to you to have good relations with humans?" Gojo Satoru looked at him with some amusement, "What's the reason?"

Xiao Bai showed loyalty, even to the point of blind obedience: "...I don't understand, but I will do it."

Gojo Satoru knew that it was meaningless to continue dealing with him. The information he had revealed so far must have been restricted long ago. He was only told "what he could say", and he couldn't find out anything beyond this scope.

"Then one last question." Gojo Satoru pointed a finger, "I heard that you wander the streets every night... This can't be the master's order, right?"

"No." He nodded, "It's my personal behavior... I have what I'm looking for."

His drooping head lifted slightly, and his pomegranate red eyes gradually brightened. His mask moved slightly, and it seemed that he wanted to make an exaggerated facial expression, but failed.

"What?"

"people."

"people?"

"Enemy."

"What happens after you find it?"

After asking, the other party looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Of course..." The young man sat up straight and faced him. He opened his left index and middle fingers to form a V, then placed them at the corners of his lips and made a pushing motion.

(Make the shape of a pair of scissors with your fingers and put them to your mouth...) Gojo Satoru roughly understood that this meant an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Seeing that he had no intention of changing his words, Gojo Satoru felt a little melancholy for a rare time.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to coexist peacefully with humans?"

"That's something else. And that's the master's request, not my personal opinion."

"...In other words, you don't really believe that we must live in peace with humans, right?"

The other party nodded honestly, but perhaps felt that it was inappropriate to do so, so he quickly shook his head.

Finally, he said aggrievedly: "…It's just a few people, is that not okay?"

Gojo Satoru felt that he had encountered a problem student.

In a nutshell, they are the kind of people who know they are wrong but will do it again next time, and who are very proactive in admitting their mistakes and never repent.

I didn't expect that this guy in front of me, who seemed easy to fool, ignorant and incompetent, was actually a tough guy.

...But he would still be submissive and negotiate terms.

Difficult.

Jiuyuan felt that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so he had to take the initiative to deal with such a matter. So he told Bai's tragic experience. Gojo Satoru remained mysterious when listening to it, but later he cooperated and angrily condemned the perpetrator. In the end, he deliberately said, "Oh, don't look at me like this, I'm also in a difficult situation."

Jiuyuan knew that this man was not so easy to fool, and... he was very strong.

If you show any signs of danger, you might really be killed by this guy. Although the vest will be reborn soon, death is not a pleasant experience. If you die once and are chased and killed again, it will be very annoying.

"Although you are free to seek revenge on someone, what you told today is only a story from your personal perspective." Gojo Satoru pointed his finger at him, "Isn't it?"

Jiuyuan felt that he had to make some concessions here, which could be considered a strategic retreat. At least it was important to get Gojo Satoru out of his sight as soon as possible.

"…You can investigate."

Gojo Satoru began to test his attitude: "If what you said is true, these people may have been imprisoned. In this case, will you still continue to seek revenge?"

"...Ah, that's a possibility." He said belatedly.

"If so, what are you going to do?"

He pondered for two seconds and answered reluctantly: "...There is nothing we can do about it. Living people must abide by human rules."

After saying this, he stared at Gojo Satoru seriously.

Gojo Satoru seemed to understand what he meant at this moment: If he is avenged after his death, you living people have no right to do anything about it.

"...a problem child." He sighed.

The topic ended here. The positions and attitudes given by both people were very ambiguous, and it could only be regarded as a simple explanation of the information.

(But it’s still a gain.) Gojo Satoru thought.

Then he asked the waiter next to him for a piece of paper, wrote down his contact information and handed it to him, "Here is my contact information."

After saying that, he took the initiative to pay the bill, waved his hand and left.

Jiuyuan looked at the note and thought to himself that he had no means of communication for the man with the slit. Even if he could get a mobile phone, it would be a problem to get a SIM card.

So after writing down the number, I tore up the note and threw it into the wastebasket.

…

…

Here, Jiuyuan heard a prompt from the system.

He was a little surprised that the system hadn't given any prompts for a long time.

[Congratulations to the master, your reputation has reached 5000, you have officially left the beginner stage, and all system functions have been enabled. ]

[Unlock the main mission: Become the master of all ghosts. ]

[Congratulations to the master for graduating from the Novice Village!] He was particularly lively today, which made Jiuyuan feel uncomfortable. He even wondered if he had secretly upgraded himself.

[Generally speaking, you have to push a character's main storyline to 70% to graduate from the novice stage. But there is another way to graduate, which is to accumulate 5,000 reputation...] The system said in a tone of "I didn't expect that either."

Kuen: "Wait...?"

How come it suddenly reached five thousand?

Is it related to the sorcerers? Did Gojo Satoru do anything?

He seemed to have seen the man take out his phone and make a call when he left, but he didn't care. After all, it would be strange if Gojo Satoru didn't react at all. But it's a good thing that his reputation has increased, and he can open more functions, but the main quest...

"System, your main mission..." Why does it coincide with the fake script I wrote to trick people into thinking it was real?

Is this a coincidence? Jiuyuan had to start thinking about it.

...No, if you think about it carefully, he did overlook something at the beginning.

Just like playing a game, there must be an ultimate goal, such as saving the world and defeating the devil or saving the country from dire straits, but the system didn't mention anything at the beginning, it just guided him on how to use the character, which was very strange.

...He was only thinking about swiping money at that time and didn't pay any attention to this matter.

It is quite reasonable when you think about it this way. Otherwise, why would the system give him so many characters? Even if it is a card collection game, they still have a storyline mission.

It seems that he hit the jackpot by accident and happened to lead the team in the right direction, so his reputation increased rapidly. Besides, he had already guessed the ultimate goal of the game, so it would be meaningless to restrict the system functions of the game.

However, he vaguely felt that even if there was no main direction specified by the system, he would still choose to do so.

"Okay, let me see what's new."

It's called a new feature, but there's still a reputation requirement. The content he can see now includes daily tasks, bounties, player skills, item warehouses, and... the root of all evil in pay-to-win games, card drawing.

"…Why are there still card draws?"

When I went in, I saw that it really consumed reputation coins.

"A ten-draw requires 10,000 reputation points. Don't you think that's too unfair?"

[System: Master, there is a free ten-draw every week. When your reputation reaches 10,000, the daily supply pool will be opened, and you can draw a ten-draw every day.]

"You can draw from the pool of ten draws every day? It sounds good, but... there's nothing good in it."

[It will be slightly inferior to the reputation card pool. 】

Jiuyuan: ...Okay, I can accept it. It's just a friendship pool, don't ask for too much for free.

"By the way, I'm planning to draw from the reputation pool now. Isn't there a guaranteed bonus for the ten-draw?"

[No.] The system answered straightforwardly, [But if you use reputation to draw, the chance of getting good stuff will be a little higher.]

At least it costs 10,000 reputation points, so it is understandable that the gold content is higher.

In order to avoid being upset by the card draw failure, he decided to look at the achievement rewards for unlocking reputation first.

The achievement unlocked with 5000 reputation not only brings some money, but also comes with two skill points, one for the character and one for yourself.

After thinking about it, he decided not to add any skills to the character yet, and wait and see how the situation develops before making a decision.

He opened his personal panel, and after thinking for a while, he lit up his psychic physique.

His inspiration is not strong now, and he still mainly relies on the character's eyes to see "the world over there". After lighting up the psychic physique, he first felt a brief stinging sensation in his eyes, and it seemed that there was some weak power surging in his body. When the pain dissipated, he opened his eyes again. Although the world in front of him was still the same world, it felt different.

Clearer, he could even feel the flow of some power in the air.

Although I can see it with the body of the kaidan character, it feels completely different from the original body.

Is this the world they see?

Finally, the exciting lottery session can begin.

After clasping his hands together and silently reciting blessings in his heart, Jiuyuan clicked on the first ten-draw.

[Congratulations on obtaining the following items: N: Yokai Candy × 6, R: Hell Pass × 3, SR: Fox Mask × 1. ]

After the draw, the system commented: "My luck is average."

Jiuyuan: “…”

Ignoring the system, he began to check the functions of these things. After all, he couldn't tell just by looking at the names.

Monster candy seems to be able to increase the power of monsters, but it is only of N-grade quality, and the effect is best only on low-level monsters. The Hell Pass is more magical. With this certificate, you can stay in the underworld for two hours freely, but...

"…People who are alive generally don't want to go to hell."

The last fox mask is more useful, it is a disguise prop.

Wearing the mask can conceal the human aura and blend in with the monsters. Although he can't use it for the time being, it doesn't prevent this item from being very useful.

After packing up his things, he suddenly had a new idea.

"System, regarding the black mass that Hanako picked up earlier, you said you could try to increase its strength so that he could get rid of the distracting thoughts outside, right?"

【Yes.】

"Will it work if I feed him monster candy?"

【In theory, it is possible. 】

What are you waiting for... the first laborer! Thinking of this, Jiuyuan immediately ran to Hanako's simple shop on the second floor and poured out the black energy body that he had placed in the glass.

He held the black ball in his palm, with a kind smile on his face. This time, the black ball did not resist and let him hold it like this without any resistance.

Jiuyuan was very satisfied with his obedient reaction, and then directly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

No response.

【System: Maybe... it's not enough? 】

Two, three, four...

Finally, when the fifth ball was stuffed in, the chaotic black mist ball began to change. Jiuyuan felt the temperature rise and his eyes caught the fluctuation of energy, so he put the ball on the ground, then took a few steps back and watched the changes.

Soon, the candy that was sent in took effect, and the impurities on the outside gradually peeled off and dissipated... The ball began to expand and gradually turned into a tall and thin human figure.

His first employee was about to be born under his watch. Thinking of this, Jiuyuan's smile became more loving.

Finally, standing in front of him was a young man wearing a uniform and with his hair tied up in a bun.

Looks about the same age as him.

It was obvious that he didn't quite understand what was going on, he just saw Jiuyuan's "kind" smile.

"hello……"

Jiu Yuan looked at his slightly confused expression and suddenly wanted to make a joke -

"My...first child?"
