"The Monster Box?"
Yuzuru's eyes lit up.
This option is much more interesting than the previous two.
but......
"System, did you go to Doraemon Department Store to buy supplies?"
system:"......"
After venting his usual complaints about his own system, Yuzuru Hanyu made a decision without much hesitation.
"System, enhance the third option."
"Ding! Enhancement successful!"
A system notification sounded.
Yuzuru sat up abruptly from the sofa, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a palm-sized, somewhat stone-tablet-like monster-shaped treasure box appeared in his hand, topped with a golden ring that could be pulled out.
Monster Treasure Box
The treasure box has a somewhat antique-looking material, and its surface faintly emits a halo, as if telling the story of its extraordinary nature.
Well, to call a product of the 22nd century old old-fashioned is just a way of saying that Doraemon Department Store really understands its customers' preferences.
[Ding! The Monster Treasure Box has been successfully activated!]
Current fear level: 1
Summonable monster level: N
Lottery: Buy 10 get 1 free
Seeing the panel that appeared on the stone tablet, especially the level N, Yu Shengnan felt inexplicably flustered for some reason.
Is something wrong?
Is this grading system normal?
Since N has already been released, is there also an SSR?
After handling the monster box in his hands for a while, feeling its texture and temperature, Yuzuru calmed himself down and, following the control method of a certain earless robot cat from his previous life's anime, opened the golden ring on it.
The Monster Treasure Box initially grants one free summon.
Subsequent summons require collecting fear, while lotteries require spiritual energy.
"System, you definitely bought the cheapest version of the Monster Treasure Box." While summoning it, Yu Shengnan kept complaining to the system.
He remembered that Doraemon's Monster Box contained all sorts of monsters. When Nobita accidentally broke the box, it summoned a whole bunch of monsters of different shapes and sizes.
And this one of ours actually requires collecting fear points and consuming spiritual energy, with so many restrictions.
What else could it be but the budget version?
This is supposed to be an improved version?
This is terrible, it deserves a huge thumbs down!
Just as he was complaining, a cloud of green mist slowly drifted out from the small opening in the ring. The mist gradually condensed in the air, slowly outlining a blurry shape.
As the fog dissipated, a chibi-style monster with a rose talisman on its forehead, two horns on its forehead, and a blue face with fangs appeared before him.
Green Tengu
"Um?"
Yuzuru was truly stunned.
Wait, why does this monster look so familiar?
Isn't this just the green of the Heavenly Evil Demon?!
"Hahaha!" Just as Yuzuru was staring blankly at the green-haired tengu, the little monster twirled happily in the air, then shouted in that familiar, cheeky voice, "Master! Want to play a prank together?"
Yuzuru's lips twitched: "This voice... even the voice actor is reproduced?"
The improved version of the system is like this: the monster image will automatically adapt to the most familiar appearance in his memory.
Thinking of the exquisite monster illustrations in a once-popular mobile game from his past life, Yu Sheng Nan's eyes lit up completely.
"Great job, system!"
Excellent! I have to give it a huge thumbs up.
He felt a little guilty if he didn't give it a good review.
The monster's description also appears on the monster's treasure box:
【Green Heavenly Demon】
Level: N
Ability: To perform small pranks (such as tripping pedestrians, switching items, etc.)
"Interesting..." Just as Yuzuru was about to test his ability, Ran suddenly exclaimed from the kitchen, "Oh no! Where are the cookies?"
Immediately afterwards, the wicked laughter of the green-haired demon echoed in the living room: "Master, master! I stole it! Aren't I amazing!"
Yuzuru: "......"
Good grief, this monster even has the ability to cause trouble?
After having the demon green return the cookies, Hanyu Nan explored the Yokai Box in the living room for a while. After consulting with the system, he roughly understood the effects of the improved Yokai Box.
First of all, the monsters he summoned were all based on characters from a mobile game he used to play in his previous life.
The same applies to the levels of monsters.
There are 5 levels: N, R, SR, SSR, and SP.
Normally, you need to wait until your collected fear level is high enough before you can participate in the lottery. If you want to get it earlier, you must participate in the lottery. Each lottery costs 100 points of spiritual energy, and the results are random. You have a chance to get collaboration monsters.
The collaboration monsters can only be obtained through a lottery; they cannot be obtained or summoned through other means.
"System, sometimes, we don't really need to copy everything so completely..."
Seeing the lottery button gave Yuzuru a headache.
How did you improve it?
Is the system definitely not trying to steal his spiritual energy?
system:"......"
"Hehe, not saying a word, just pretending to be aloof." Yu Shengnan mimicked a certain arrogant loli, giving a sarcastic remark with a cold laugh.
Of course, when he actually spoke up, he became unhappy.
After reading the detailed instructions provided by the system, Yuzuru roughly understood how to operate the Yokai Treasure Box. Upgrading the Yokai Treasure Box was actually quite simple: just collect fear points.
But how do you generate fear levels?
People or creatures that are frightened by monsters will develop a fear value.
These monsters are different from the souls of the dead that Hanyu Kusunoki usually uses to collect spiritual energy. They are monsters from Japanese legends, and can control whether or not humans can observe them at will.
For them, invisibility and revelation are merely a matter of a single thought.
The current Detective Conan is a time when spiritual energy has been severed, and the monsters of the past have long since vanished. Conan, the Grim Reaper, is also a product of the last counterattack of the spiritual energy era, creating the chosen one of this era.
Since Conan appeared, those who die unnaturally have been given birth to souls. However, these souls cannot become a great force and cannot cause any real harm to reality. They will automatically dissipate after 7 days, turning into spiritual energy and giving back to heaven and earth.
This cycle continues endlessly, and the era of spiritual energy is unlikely to end anytime soon. It is precisely because of this that Koizumi Akako, the last successor of the Red Magician, is able to continue using Red Magic.
Between the Age of Spirituality and the Age of Science, there emerged an era—the Age of Science.
The script was working fine up to this point.
Unfortunately, an extraterrestrial visitor intervened and disrupted the balance.
What's with all this talk about science fiction? You think you're so clever? Here you go!
Conan, the chosen one of our time, also suffered a great misfortune.
Yuzuru stared at the green-haired demon flying around the living room, and thoughtfully pinched his chin.
"I feel like we can go back to the Heian period..."
