Chapter 247 Chapter 247 "Dazai is the target of the strategy?!"...
247
On the rooftop of the shopping mall, Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki landed on the ground, and the voice of the administrator June sounded in their minds.
"Ting ting! The world quest "Mafia's Coldness ~ Your Heart Dokidoki" has opened. Streamers Li Xiaoqi and Yin need to conquer a Mafia each. To complete the quest, reach a favorability of 100 with the target."
"Warm reminder, the mafia with a red heart on their head is the target of the strategy."
Sakata Gintoki clutched his head and began to wail, "Eh—why do I have a capture target too, Gin-san?"
His voice echoed in the wind, his mouth opened wide, his face full of dissatisfaction and accusation.
The wind blew his long hair into a mess. Li Xiaoqi put the white cat from his arms to the ground and looked at Sakata Gintoki, who was howling and about to turn into Tarzan.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she raised her hand to pat Sakata Gintoki's shoulder and said, "You know how much pain I went through in the Infinite City, right?"
Li Xiaoqi grinned, showing a gloating smile.
"You also need to conquer others, don't forget!"
Sakata Gintoki warned with a grim look on his face.
Li Xiaoqi waved his hands numbly and said, "Of course I know."
The white cat on the ground suddenly transformed, and a handsome young man appeared before his eyes.
Kusuo Saiki glanced at Gintoki Sakata, then his gaze fixed on Li Xiaoqi.
He wiped his hands and reached out to Li Xiaoqi.
Can I shake your hand?
Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."
She shook Saiki Kusuo's fair hand and said, "Saiki-kun, thank you for what you did just now."
Saiki Kusuo shook his head slightly, and a few floating flowers appeared beside his head. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Suddenly, he took out a photo from his pocket. On it was a CG picture of Li Xiaoqi turning into a ghost in the Falling Infinite City.
【By the way, can you please sign here? 】
Li Xiaoqi blinked, took the pen handed to him by Saiki Kusuo, and quickly wrote his name on it.
She paused as she looked at the name on the photo, and suddenly memories of her life in Mond came flooding back, almost overwhelming her life in the real world.
In Li Xiaoqi's life, he spent much more time in Mond than in the real world.
According to the normal human lifespan, she can be said to have spent her entire life in Mond.
Cecilia, Li Xiaoqi.
Both names are equally important.
And Barbatos, like her parents, is an important family member.
【Thanks. 】
Saiki Kusuo's voice reached her brain and brought her back to her senses.
Li Xiaoqi smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"Ding! New commission added. Mission 2: Find Francis Scott Fitzgerald."
…So the group leader’s name is so long.
Li Xiaoqi complained in his heart.
Suddenly, Saiki Kusuo's eyes became cross-eyed, and a helpless look appeared on his face for a moment.
[The cat is found, in my house.]
Sakata Gintoki was startled, "Is this true?!"
Saiki Kusuo nodded slightly, his ears slightly red.
【Follow me.】
At this time, many sarcastic words floated across the live broadcast barrage.
[Yo yo yo, Qi Shen, your ears are red]
[I'm bringing my idol home! This is like something out of a dream!]
[Qi Shen: Beautiful, beautiful]

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki found the client's cat at Saiki's house. After hurriedly drinking a cup of tea, they said goodbye to the Saiki family and sent the calico cat back to the old man's home.
This calico cat with a bow on its neck seems to be just an ordinary kitten, not a transformation of a supernatural being with the same name as the great writer.
"Ding! Mission completed! Reward: 160 gold coins, and 1 key to somewhere."
Following the prompt in my mind, the first commissioned task was successfully completed.
In the evening, Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki returned to the Yorozuya office.
Sakata Gintoki lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
"One hundred commissioned tasks, at this rate, it will take at least three months..."
Li Xiaoqi responded incoherently, staring at the hot tea on the table in a daze.
"Mr. Gin, what do you think Dazai's reaction would be if he knew we came to this world?"
Sakata Gintoki put his hands behind his head, stared at the ceiling listlessly and said, "Who knows."
【that……】
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded directly from deep within my brain.
"Why does the system sound like Saiki-kun..."
Li Xiaoqi murmured.
Sakata Gintoki was stunned, and suddenly looked towards the entrance corridor and was immediately shocked.
"Young man, don't show up suddenly—"
Li Xiaoqi stood up straight, a look of surprise on his face.
"Qi Mu-kun, what's wrong?"
【I think it’s better for you to know some things in advance. 】
Saiki Kusuo said this, walked up to the two of them, and sat down.
He closed his eyes, and suddenly a yellow object like a boomerang appeared in his hand.
Kusuo Saiki took advantage of Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki's inattention and quickly hit them on the head.
In an instant, some images that originally existed in Saiki Kusuo's brain emerged in Li Xiaoqi's mind. Those were the dreams he fell into when he was sick.
Sakata Gintoki lowered his head and leaned back on the sofa, the atmosphere around him was heavy.
Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips, his expression not looking good.
"Who is the idiot..."
Sakata Gintoki scoffed.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Saiki Kusuo and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you for telling us, Saiki-kun."
【I think Mr. Dazai has less than a month left to live.】
Saiki Kusuo nodded slightly, and disappeared the next second.
Li Xiaoqi's face darkened, and he clenched his fists, his knuckles making crisp sounds.
"Sure enough, you still deserve a beating."
Sakata Gintoki stood up and walked out the door with his hands in his pockets.
The setting sun lengthened his shadow, covering Li Xiaoqi's face.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course, to where that guy would go, you know."
Li Xiaoqi stared at his profile in amazement and said, "Lupin"
Sakata Gintoki raised the corners of his lips and waved his hand.
Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes, clenched his fingers, then stood up and walked out the door.

"So far, the presents the streamer has received include: 1 Touching Viewer, 1 Missing Person Map, 1 God Experience Ticket, 1 Hijikata Toshiro's Demon Sword, 2 Elders, 2 Small Armstrong Accelerated Spinning Armstrong Cannons, 8 Cats, 10 Matsutake Mushrooms, 53 Cecilia Flowers, 84 Mushrooms, 97 Poultry, 120 Sweet Flowers, and 148 Pure Hearts."
Hmm...it seems these gifts were originally in the backpack.
On the way, the administrator June reported the daily live broadcast gift list, most of which were props that were previously in the backpack but had been consumed.
June, is there any way to save Dazai Osamu?
Li Xiaoqi asked in his heart.
"...No. Once a transaction is made, it cannot be changed."
Rarely, there was a hint of hesitation in Administrator June's voice.
"You asked the same question as the anchor, Gin. No matter how many times you ask, you get the same answer."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned, frowned, and felt heavy in his heart.
She pursed her lips, and a trace of pain arose in her heart when she thought of Dazai Osamu jumping off the building.
"Unless there is a huge energy that replaces the energy generated by the combination of Dazai Osamu's life energy and the 'book' to fill the rift in time and space."
"System testing has not yet found any such powerful energy that can replace it."
Administrator June's words still rang coldly.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki walked forward in silence, and the orange sky began to be swallowed by darkness.
The two found the Lupin Bar according to the map navigation on their mobile phones.
In the dark alley, the bar sign was rusty and mottled, the lights flickered, and a moth landed on the sign, its wings flapping at a gradually slower pace.
Suddenly, the administrator June's notification tone rang in my mind.
"We've detected that the target of the mission is nearby. Should we use the item 'Locking Map'?"
Li Xiaoqi stopped, looked at Sakata Gintoki, and decided to look for the target of the mission first.
A virtual screen popped up in front of my eyes, and a map appeared in front of my eyes. A red dot appeared nearby, on a nearby overpass.
The name of the group leader was clearly displayed above the red dot, and another name was gradually approaching where they were.
Li Xiaoqi stared at the moving name in a trance, and looked at Sakata Gintoki in surprise.
Osamu Dazai.
The three pink words "Dazai Osamu" were slowly moving towards them.
[Missing Person Map: This map will show the names of people involved in world quests and the names of capture targets. People involved in commissioned quests will be displayed as red dots on the map, while the names of capture targets will be displayed in pink.]
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched as he read the video over and over again, "Dazai is the target?!"
Sakata Gintoki hummed twice and patted Li Xiaoqi's shoulder.
"Yoshi, although I don't know who the other characters are, I have great confidence in you for this mission."
[Do you want to use the item "Favorability Viewer" to check the favorability of the capture character? ]
Suddenly, a dialog box popped up on the map.
Li Xiaoqi looked nervous and hesitant.
Sakata Gintoki pulled Li Xiaoqi to hide in the corner and used the prop favorability viewer without saying a word.
When Sakata Gintoki clicked to use it, Li Xiaoqi kept recalling the process of her and Dazai Osamu testing each other during this journey.
Soon, the number "0" appeared in the name "Dazai Osamu".
Sakata Gintoki was stunned and said in a low voice: "Could it be a mistake?"
Li Xiaoqi's face darkened and he exuded an unpleasant aura.
She bit her lower lip, and her heart was instantly filled with unhappiness.
"That bastard—"
Sakata Gintoki looked at the terrifying expression on Li Xiaoqi's face and swallowed nervously.
"Um... now... we are..."
"The two over there."
A familiar voice sounded.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki were slightly stunned and looked towards the entrance of Lupin Bar in front of them.
A tall man stood under the sign, the white bandage on his face casting a moth-like shadow.
The black suit and white shirt formed a sharp contrast, and the thin and gaunt figure almost blended into the dim light.
“The boss here makes pretty good drinks.”
“Though I’ve never actually drunk it.”
Dazai Osamu looked at them, the smile on his face did not reach his eyes, and his reaction to Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki was like that of strangers who met by chance.
What's going on?
Li Xiaoqi stared at Dazai Osamu blankly, his heart full of doubts.
Dazai blinked and pointed at himself. "You two look surprised. Do you know me?"
system!
What's going on——
At this moment, Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki were frantically calling the system in their hearts.
"Since Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya are among the characters that can be captured in the world quest "Mafia's Coldness ~ Your Heartbeat Dokidoki", in order to ensure that each capture character has the same initial favorability, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya's memories of the system, their other world live broadcast journey, and their interactions with the two streamers are temporarily sealed."
Administrator June's words echoed word by word.
Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki became more and more angry as they listened, and they wanted to pull the system out and beat it up.
