Chapter 74 It's a teleportation crystal, but it's not
74.
A huge blue crystal was undulating in the air, with metal rings spinning around it. If you got a little closer, you could hear a humming sound like the language of a whale.
The familiar teleportation crystal. You stand under it, flicking your tail with pleasure, and the holographic perspective is different. It is far more spectacular than you can imagine.
You raise your hands, resonating with the teleportation crystal.
[Yokohama Teleportation Crystal has been released]

There is a new daily activity... Isn't it the same as the daily lesson in the illustrated copy? The opening time is one hour, which is exactly the length of time that NPCs can move in human form... Is this intentional by the system or the game?
Well, after raising an NPC for a thousand days and using it for an hour, it's time to make the first team your teammates and get a lot of experience!
But this book... what book? Why doesn't it have a title? The dungeon map is so big, how can you find a book with an unknown name? Otherwise, start by... clearing out the bookstore? If you just put all the books in the bookstore into your backpack, there will always be one book that is required for the mission, right?
How come you don't give me any clues about how to decrypt the copy? Damn it, be careful or you'll ask for help from offline sources - the Rice Flower Specialty Detective!
“Bang!”
The door to the rooftop was knocked open, and you turned your head to see a group of dark, red-named NPCs rushing into the rooftop.
"Surrender, you invading port//black boy." Guangjin Liulang walked to the front and put out the cigarette. He raised his head and wanted to say a few words of warning, but he saw you standing in front of him, shaking your tail, "...It's you, cat-eared boy."
Guangjin Liulang remembers you - or rather, it is hard for anyone to forget someone with such a special appearance.
Just now someone came to report that there was a red and black monster climbing the wall of □□. When he heard the news, he just thought it was a bit ridiculous. But after seeing you, Guangjin Liulang tried his best not to ask the doubt in his heart: Doesn’t this kid ever use stairs?
Guangjin Liulang doesn't want to recall the process of his first acquaintance with you. After all, it can't be called a good memory. It's better to say that if he thinks about it for a while, he will feel that his brain is polluted... After the Black Lizard Squad investigated, he learned from the data that you are from Leibo Street, you have some common sense, but not much, your IQ is vague, and your EQ, I can't say you have it, you can only say it's invisible... In short, you are a superpower with hundreds of millions of problems in all aspects.
His ability is unknown. His body seems to be a part of his ability. But he has no other ability except to be cute when the other party apologizes for doing something wrong. He is currently working in a bar called Lupin. Because the taste of the wine he mixes is too weird, it has been complained many times by the Black Lizard members who have been there several times. Hearing so many complaints has aroused his curiosity. Guangjin Liulang secretly went to drink it once. The taste of the wine... I can only say that people always have to pay for their curiosity.
Guangjin Liulang did not report your information to the leader, that is, Mori Ouwai. He believed that you were not the talent needed by the Hong Kong//Black Gang, and you were not capable of becoming the enemy of the Hong Kong//Black Gang. Well, of course, the handmade cigarettes you gave him that day were of good quality, which was also a reason...
However, he will always stand on the side of the gangs. If you threaten the gangs, he will also attack you without mercy. Before you do anything more outrageous, Guangjin Liulang scolds you with a stern face: "Why do you come to the gangs if you don't study bartending?"
Hmm... he looks familiar, this old man... Ah! You hammered your palm and remembered! This is a special NPC who contributed a fragment to his wife! The task given seems to be to smoke, but the cigarettes in his pocket are used up.
You were fishing by the river at that time, and the NPC was a little far away from you, but who are you? You are the Light Runner certified by Eozea. At any time, any place, as long as there is a mission, you will complete the mission!
So you immediately throw down your fishing rod, climb to the nearest rooftop and start parkouring, performing a player-dropping move from above the NPC's head - but the NPC seems to be working at the time and has no time to pay attention to you? It doesn't matter, the kind-hearted player helps the NPC deal with the work object, so now the NPC is in the mood to smoke, right?
Unfortunately, after completing the mission, the fishing time for the king fish is over.
"Hi, hi, it's me!" You approached enthusiastically, grabbing Guangjin Liulang's hand and shaking it vigorously, "What a coincidence, are you here to see the big crystal too, old man?"
"...Put away your supernatural powers."
"Superpower? What superpower?" You looked back along the line of sight of Guangjin Liulang, and saw only a large crystal spinning quietly, "This is not my superpower."
You scratch your head, wondering if this NPC has a bug? How can a local NPC in Kaito (Yokohama) not know how to use a teleportation crystal? Besides, how can you create a teleportation crystal? If you are really that good, you must place one every five meters in the dungeon world.
[xx meters to the northwest, a limited-time special store is found]
Special shop? In the dungeon? You sealed Mikazuki Munechika into your pocket. Just kidding. If someone sees what you are going to do, Mikazuki, the mean old blade, will definitely tell the mothers in Honmaru. You raised your head and gave Hirotsu Liulang a tooth-aching smile: "Master, I have something else to do. I'll leave first... Come and drink the wine I made when you have time."
Without giving Guangjin Liulang a chance to speak, you turned around and sprinted towards the edge of the roof, jumping on the spot and making a leap of faith.
Perfect landing! First blood protection!
You wiped the blood from your mouth, raised your head, and took a confident step forward - but you didn't look at the road and kicked a stone on the side of the road, and your health bar dropped by one.
you:?
The swordmen felt that the contract was suddenly broken:?
A second later, your body, which had jumped vertically, appears next to the big crystal in the form of a corpse lying horizontally.
The Black Lizard Team was about to leave:?
"Sorry, sorry, the way I jumped off the building just now wasn't right. Let me try another one."
A small stone has caused several groups of people to question it. You may call it a crazy stone.
But that won’t happen this time. You calmly stand up from the ground, take out the advanced recovery medicine, and hold Mikazuki Munechika, who is struggling to crawl out with sharp noises coming out of his mouth, tightly in your pocket.
The Black Lizard Squad, who thought they had experienced many ups and downs, had never seen such a scene: a cat-eared superpower with a strange appearance and dark skin, but sometimes you would think this guy is quite handsome at first glance, with a very obvious bulge in the crotch - and it kept squirming - is this a natural talent or a special superpower? They didn't want to become crotch-staring cats, but this... they had never seen such a scene before.
Several members began to discuss whether this guy's ability was related to harmony. If it was, could they give him one?

"Is this the special store?" You stood at the gate of the yard and looked around, put your hands to your mouth like trumpets, and shouted, "Moshimoshi, is anyone there? There are guests——"
"If you are curious, go in and take a look, Master."
After Mikazuki Munechika climbed out of the bag, he refused to go back in no matter what. Now he is sitting on your shoulders, holding your hair tightly to prevent himself from falling out.
At this moment, the door facing the courtyard opened, and the girl with short pink hair and the girl with blue ponytails walked out of the room and said in unison, "Welcome." Seeing the Totoro on your shoulder, the girls with the same appearance brightened their eyes and gathered around you like happy little birds: "The guest brought a Totoro."
"Cute Totoro."
"Please come in, guests."
"The host is waiting for guests inside."
You were lost in the chattering of the girls, and when you came to your senses, you were already sitting in a room full of Japanese style. There was brewed tea on the low table in front of you, and even Mikazuki Munechika was taken off your shoulders and placed on the cushion on the other side - he also had a cup of brewed hot tea in front of him.
The special store was very thoughtful.
"Ah, it's a rare guest."
The door with butterfly prints was pushed open, and a black-haired woman with delicate features and wearing a gorgeous kimono walked into the room. She casually sat down on the chair opposite, holding the cigarette holder to her lips, and slowly exhaled a cloud of white smoke.
"So, what is your wish..."
You see the moon ornament on her neck swaying, and you hear her sigh.
"guest."
You admit that you once said that you would never be controlled by the looks of NPCs again. No matter how exquisite the modeling is, you will only pretend to be dazzled by the beauty. This is all your delaying tactics. In short, you have your plans and rhythm... But you are wrong, so wrong! You have such naive thoughts because you have never met a beauty like the manager of the special store!
Wish? What wish? You only have one wish now -
"Beautiful sister, I used to think that cat men were perfect, with no blind spots, but now I realize that I was wrong. It turns out that cat men also have flaws." You took out the Azema Rose that had been used repeatedly, and put on the most affectionate expression of cat men, "My flaw is you."
"Sister's legs are not legs, but the spring water on the banks of the Seine. I'll skip the rest. My circle of friends is still lacking in beauty. What is lacking is the stunning beauty of you, my beautiful sister. In short, my wish is..."
"Can you be my friend?"
The woman looked at you expressionlessly for a while, which made you nervous - a bit like the feeling of being silent in the tutor group after your graduation thesis.
"Oh my, this guest is really good at talking." The other party covered his mouth and laughed, "Ichihara Yuuko, my name."
The little girls who brought you in snuggled into Ichihara Yuko's arms. She raised her hand and touched their heads, and continued to introduce them to you: "Xiao Quan, Xiao Duo, their full names are Quan Lu and Duo Lu, cute names, right?"
"So cute." You gave a high degree of recognition and introduced yourself to Yuuko Ichihara, "I'm a plumber at AAA food stall, and this is my pet, Crescent Moon Totoro."
"Totoro."
"Mikazuki Totoro."
Xiaoduo and Xiaoquan left Ichihara Yuko and gathered around Mikazuki Munechika again. The latter drank his tea leisurely, and from time to time he let out an idiotic laugh that only you could hear.
“Do they like animals?”
"Rather than liking it, it's more like..." Yuuko Ichihara took another puff of cigarette, "I guess it's the attraction between the objects."
I don't understand. You rack your brain and decide to get straight to the point: "Beautiful lady, what are you selling here?"
"It's not about what I sell, but what you want, the customer." Ichihara Yuuko smiled at you, "This is a store that makes wishes come true. As long as the customer can afford the price, any wish can be fulfilled..."
“So there aren’t any of those cool Italian cannons or grenades that can blow up a city?” You sighed, a little disappointed. “Are there any books here?”
"Books?" Ichihara Yuko responded quickly, shaking her head, "If it's what the customer wants, we don't have it in the store."
"But the clues about the book..."
She frowned and smiled with a hint of dishonesty.
"Guest, what do you want to exchange for it?"
