Today in Honmaru Retirement Again

Chapter 8

08

His dream had actually come true!

Ji Kai held the envelope and stared at the words on it. It was difficult for him to restrain his mouth from smiling crookedly.

Gift of swords → no need to consume assets → reduced expenditure → no change in daily consumption → income can be adjusted → number of times out of the array can be reduced → probability of injury will decrease → reduced expenditure → no change in daily consumption → income can be adjusted → number of times out of the array can be reduced …

Thus, a virtuous cycle was formed!

But wait, in the hand … there seems to be something …

The Inquisitor squinted his eyes for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he simply gave up.

In any case, based on his experience, he would eventually remember what he should remember.

The most important thing now was to get the assets that he hadn't received, and steadily get the free ones first!

At the mailbox at the entrance of This Pill, Ji Kai and Gokusen Kanazane looked at the things in front of them and looked at each other.

The majestic pile of charcoal, jade steel, and stone took up half of the entrance of This Pill.

Two days' worth of items didn't seem like much, but in reality, it had a very terrifying visual effect.

The Inquisitor, who was originally full of lofty aspirations, raised his neck until it was about to stiffen.

"This … We may have to wait for the new swordsmen to do it together …" Gokusen Kanazane was very worried.

Although he usually flaunted himself as a scholarly swordsman, he was actually very confident in his martial strength (brute force).

But sometimes, this martial strength (brute force) also had an insurmountable mountain. TVT

"No, Gokusen, I think we … should just … leave it here …" The Inquisitor gave up on the calculation of the total number of people in his mind and said resignedly.

"The main point is …" Ji Kai pointed to the wooden box placed in front of the assets. "That."

The transfer of the assets would be discussed later.

Gokusen Kanazane easily carried the wooden box into This Pill, and then in front of Ji Kai, he took out the sword given by the Time Government and carefully placed it on the sword rack in the Manifestation Room.

One Vibration in front of him was a very gorgeous sword inlaid with pearls and silver.

Cang?

Ru?

Clashing with each other?

Ao

The Inquisitor, who was about to open the treasure chest and could not help but feel a little nervous, could not help but walk forward. He unsheathed his sword and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

The curve of the blade was beautiful, the blade was shiny, and the patterns on the blade were very beautiful. Compared to most blades, the blade was thinner, smaller, and sharper. If it was used against an enemy, it would probably cause small wounds with blood slowly oozing out …

Ji Kai narrowed his eyes and admired it for a while. Then, he sheathed his saber and put it back on the saber rack.

According to Fox's Assistance's explanation and the official settings, at this moment, he needed to infuse his spiritual energy into the sword. Then, the man with the sword would transform into Xing and officially become the fighting force of This Pill.

The newbie Divine Inquisitor pretended to place his hand on it and cooperatively closed his eyes.

He thought it was just for show, but to his surprise, when his fingers touched the sword, the thoughts entrenched in his body began to flow spontaneously.

Ji Kai was shocked!

He did not expect that this game could retain the abilities of his real body and could even be used.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Kai did not have time to think carefully. The waves of thoughts in his body increased, like boiling water. When they reached a limit, they spontaneously gathered together and were released on the blade through his fingers.

The whole process was very short and caught him off guard.

The saber on the rack quickly disappeared. At the same time, a figure appeared in the open space in front of the saber rack.

"Yo.

I'm Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

Are you surprised by my sudden appearance? "

The slender, white-haired young man, who was dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, greeted him with a smile. His hand touched the Taitō on his waist, which was still on the saber rack just now. His identity was self-evident.

Still immersed in the process of the sword spontaneously absorbing the thoughts, Ji Kai expressed his feelings truthfully, "… Very surprised."

"Haha."

The white-haired young man was delighted by his answer. He blinked, then suddenly jumped forward and moved closer to Ji Kai. He stared at him closely. "Are you The Inquisitor?

Hmm … I feel a little special. "

Meeting Tsuru Maru's golden eyes, Ji Kai curled his lips and put on the kind smile of an old man. "Is The Inquisitor, who doesn't like to fight, special?"

"Oh, then what do you like to do?"

"Eat and drink to my heart's content, bask in the sun, pet my cat, walk my dog, and plant flowers."

"…" Although he had already seen through it, as The Inquisitor's close attendant, Gokusen Kanazane, felt very complicated when he was admitted so frankly.

"Yo, that's a good hobby." Tsurumaru Kuninaga agreed. "Indeed, an ordinary life has its own surprises, right?"

It felt like he was being understood!

Ji Kai's fondness for the new Fu Mourning God quickly increased.

"Gokusen -chan, long time no see!

What a pleasant reunion. "

After greeting The Inquisitor, the white-haired young man shifted his gaze and saw another familiar face.

"Lord Tsuru Maru." The purple-haired Fu Mourning God stepped forward. "Please allow me to show you This Pill."

Half an hour later.

With previous experience, when it was Ji Kai's turn to transform the sword again, he focused his mind and carefully observed the changes in his body.

When his fingers touched the sword, a gap suddenly appeared in the layer of psychokinesis that wrapped around his body.

It was as if a small hole had been smashed in a solid water tank, and energy flowed out from his fingers continuously. The cold hard steel cast together by flames was like cracked earth that had been abandoned for thousands of years, hungrily grabbing the source of life.

If the contact was cut off, it was as if a sluice gate was closed, and the psychokinesis would stop flowing out immediately.

Frowning slightly, Ji Kai tried to touch the sword again.

This time, he consciously guided the speed and quantity of his Psyche power output to ease the turbulent water flow. When the blade stopped absorbing the Psyche power, he cut off the supply almost at the same time without any delay. He did not waste a single bit of Psyche power.

Speaking of which, in the future, the cost of every vibration of the sword would include his own psychokinesis in addition to the money he spent.

With this thought in mind, The Inquisitor quickly calculated the cost of the current two-vibration sword in his mind.

His fingers peeled off, and white light shone.

Immediately after, a golden-haired young man wearing a white cloak that covered his eyes so much that even his eyes could not be seen clearly appeared in the Manifestation Room.

"Yamamochi Kokuhiro.

… What's with that look? Do you mind that I'm a replica? "

It was the result of the novice Divine Inquisitor's first time forging a knife. With a low voice, it responded to Ji Kai's sizing up with a slightly displeased expression.

This sheet … Why is it that I'm also a replica of myself?!

This was The Inquisitor's inner OS after looking at Yamamochi Kokuhiro a few more times.

Ji Kai couldn't help but turn to the other person to seek understanding.

He whispered, "Do you really want to wash that dirty thing on his head?"

"… It's time to wash it." Gokusen Kanazane frowned. This was a serious challenge to his elegance.

"I have a strong detergent."

The action-oriented Ji Kai immediately took out a bucket of detergent from his household inventory and handed it to Gokusen Kanazane.

When he saw the detergent, Yamamochi Kokuhiro looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He couldn't help but shrink back a little. "No, no need … This is more suitable for me."

"What nonsense are you saying?" Ji Kai couldn't understand. "You'll feel better if you dress up cleanly, right?"

"That's right." Gokusen Kanazane nodded in agreement. He and Ji Kai walked forward at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

"I, I …" The young man under the sheet was forced into a corner. A sense of crisis suddenly rose. Under the instinct of self-protection, he glanced at the gap between the two and rushed out. "I … I, I'll leave for a while …"

"Is he going to the toilet?"

"Maybe."

"Does he know the way?"

"… I'll go find him."

Yamamochi Kokuhiro, who thought he had escaped, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

*

Although he didn't forge Candlestick Tachibana, he obtained two strange knives. It wasn't a total loss.

Ji Kai returned to the knife forging room and looked at the remaining assets. He was a little pained, but he still inputted the same amount as last time.

After confirming, the estimated time of the forging completion immediately appeared on the tablet: 02: 30: 00.

It was already afternoon when This Pill was made. According to Ji Kai's usual habits, it was time for him to catch up on his afternoon nap.

But today, Ji Kai didn't complete any of This Pill's modification plans.

Considering that it would be dinner time in less than three hours, Ji Kai decided to focus on the important things first.

The young man, who was about to enter work mode, pushed open the sliding door and came to the kitchen of This Pill.

This wasn't a spacious space. Every time Ji Kai came here, he would diss it for being simple and crude.

Finally, he could start the modification.

Let this unaesthetic thing disappear in history.

The heart of the renovation maniac began to beat violently.

He knocked twice in the air skillfully.

Immediately, crisscrossing, three-dimensional dotted lines appeared in Ji Kai's vision.

In Construction Mode, each grid formed by the dotted lines and dotted lines was 50cm * 50cm in size. It was convenient for players to use as a reference when they were renovating.

The first thing to be solved was the cooking stove.

In Ji Kai's old house, he had to replace the high-power modern stove that could adjust the fire.

In addition, there was a range hood that could extract oil fumes and ensure that the air in the kitchen was fresh and smooth.

Next was the cabinet for preparing food.

It turned out that there was only a low table placed next to the window in the kitchen, which could only accommodate one person.

Ji Kai chose a set of simple cabinets of the same color to replace it.

He also added a hanging cabinet in the wall that could be used.

In the future, it could be used to store seasonings, various beans, dry goods, honey, and so on.

Then, there was a three-door refrigerator for storing food, a microwave for quickly heating food, a full-function oven for baking, and a large capacity floor dishwasher. There were also corresponding small kitchen appliances, such as a coffee machine, a cooking machine, a juice maker, and so on. Of course, a set of shiny, high-quality tableware, knives, plates, bowls, and pots of various sizes were also necessary.

The basic equipment configuration was completed. The details would be adjusted later.

Next was the wall and floor decoration.

The existing wooden wall was very unreasonable. It had to be replaced with tiles to facilitate the later cleaning.

Ji Kai chose left and right. After comparing the front and back, he finally chose the coffee-colored floor tiles, which were warm and retro. The wall tiles were small white square tiles, which were fresh and pleasant.

It seemed like it could be done quickly, but under The Inquisitor's high standards of aesthetics and OCD, it took Ji Kai almost two hours to renovate the kitchen.

Much more comfortable ~ ~

The Inquisitor looked around at the space that was completely different from before. He placed a pot of snapdragon grass in a suitable place before closing the construction mode with satisfaction.

At the same time, he checked his character panel. A few hours had passed, and his sleep requirement had not changed. It was still in the best state of bright green.

Spending 4,000 reward points to exchange for [Never Tired] was really worth it!

Every time Ji Kai did physical work, he would sigh.

Coming out of the kitchen, he passed the dining room on the first floor and the hall. He casually placed a few pots of snapdragon grass in inconspicuous places.

These plants were placed in the house. There was no need to do anything at all. They could greatly improve the character's mood and state.

It was a must-have item for every household.

Ji Kai was very willing to spend money and energy to prepare a place for him to live in.

Apart from the kitchen, the bedroom was also very important.

A super comfortable double bed was a must, even if it occupied almost half of the space in the room.

The remaining space could not be wasted. The bookshelf, desk, easel, and guitar could all be used to practice skills and cultivate one's character.

Of course, Ji Kai was not a person who favored one and discriminated against another.

In the valet's room next door, he chose a super comfortable single sofa. After four years of testing, no other chair could surpass it.

After doing all this, the second knife was also forged.

It was time to test his character again.

Ji Kai inserted his telekinesis.

Dozens of seconds later, a calm and low male voice sounded in the room.

"… Oh, I've been summoned to the mortal world.

I'm Tarō Tarō, a combat knife that humans shouldn't be able to use. "

The tall, long-haired man was expressionless. His tone was also very indifferent, and he looked uninterested.

… My face is too dark today. It seems that I won't be able to taste the best dishes of the new chef's knife.

However, looking at the tall figure wielding the sword, Ji Kai quickly changed his perspective.

"Yo!" Ji Kai happily walked toward Tarō Tarō. "Finally, someone who can work!"

He reached out to pat Tarō's shoulder to encourage him, but what he touched was his firm chest muscles.
